The Great Elder stood up and said with a slightly proud smile, "Back to Your Highness, it is a supreme honor to have a magical affinity. It's an amazing experience, you can feel the magic through your fingertips, and you can release it. If he is the lowest level of fire elemental magic affinity, then he can also make objects burn, and he can release flames at the tips of his fingers. ”

Speaking of this, the Great Elder glanced at the Holy See over there, paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, if a magician who has not been trained at all and only has a little bit of fire elemental affinity bestowed by the gods, there may not be a way to do this in a place where there is no fire elemental existence at all. This scenario is similar to other elemental realms, or being released from the Silence Spell or something. ”

Fierce Wave nodded, but at the moment when he wanted to ask for other information again......

Smack-

The flame, in the hands of the most mundane, the least likely to possess magical powers, was born.

At this moment, everyone in the entire royal garden was stunned.

All of them......

Literally everyone!

Not only Duke Jinguo and these wealthy nobles, nor only the heads of the old Teng Shu's department, but also the elders of the Magic Association and the three high priests of the Holy See!

Even all the soldiers and servants who served around them, everyone's eyes were focused on the flame in the hands of this slave who could never have a magical affinity, and without surprise, they all opened their mouths wide and watched silently......

"Fire ...... That's really fire! It's really a flame! ”

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the silence of the audience was finally broken at this moment! All the nobles began to whisper to each other, and even the members of the royal family were now stunned by the moment.

At that moment, the eldest lady Alice couldn't help it, and said with a cheerful and excited face: "Ariel! Did you have an affinity for fire magic?! It turns out that you have awakened the magic affinity in the past three years? Why don't you tell me! ”

Natalie, who was sitting next to the fierce waves, couldn't help but cover her stomach now, and a shocked and joyful smile appeared on her face. She also wanted to say a few words, but she still didn't say anything about her identity, and turned her head to look at her husband, who was now also a little surprised.

"Hmph, it's just a little fire elemental affinity! I thought it was something big. ”

It was the high priest of the Holy See who spoke. The faces of these old men clearly put on a false alarm, and they said slowly-

"This joke is really funny, are there any other tricks to make it amusing? If not, Grand Elder, should you take care of your magicians? ”

Compared to the high priest's current ease, the three Great Elders of the Magic Association were still shocked.

They stared at Ariel who was still holding the flame in her hand over and over again, and one of them even couldn't help it, so he stood up and stretched out his hand to Ariel, and a water-blue magic array immediately appeared on the soles of Ariel's feet!

"Ah...... This is...... Do what?! ”

Ariel looked at the water-colored magic array at the bottom of her feet, and looked a little nervous. But when she raised her head to look at the Great Elder in front of her, she found that the expression on the Great Elder's face was even more frightened! It can even be said that ...... Frightened to the point of confusion!

"How?"

The other two Great Elders hurriedly leaned over and asked softly.

However, the Great Elder who had cast the detection magic was pale, slowly lowered his hand, and said in the same soft voice, "On her body...... I didn't detect any fire elemental magic affinities or any other magical affinities...... But it doesn't matter. ”

"What's even more terrifying is ...... After I cut off all the fire elementals around her with a water magic array...... The flame in her hand...... It was even able to burn ......! This one...... This ......"

Although, the conversation between the three elders seemed very light and was not revealed to outsiders. But as the crown prince, the fierce wave clearly saw the water magic array at Ariel's feet.

Having been on the battlefield before, he certainly knew very well what the most powerful water mages of the Blue Bay Empire liked to use the magic array. So at this moment, his face flashed a little excited again, and he was more interested in the flame in Ariel's hand.

"Ariel, you...... Is there no fire elemental affinity? If you don't have a fire elemental affinity, how did you light this fire? ”

With the crown prince's inquiry, Ariel let go of the hand holding the machine, and the flames on the small box disappeared immediately. She smiled slightly, and said, "Back to Your Highness, I really don't have any elemental affinity. But you can also see that even if I don't have an elemental affinity, as an ordinary person, I don't need a fire trigger, I don't need flint, I don't need strips of cloth and sticks, and I don't need whale oil, I can use such a small device to light the fire as I want. ”

"If what the Great Elder of the Association said just now is true, then by using this small device, can I also be considered to have become a basic fire mage?"

As soon as these words came out, the people of both the guild and the Holy See immediately became alert, and they all turned their heads to stare at the maid, as if they had begun to understand what was going on.

Fierce Wave's face showed a look of joy, and he asked curiously, "So Ariel, this thing, is this some kind of magic prop?" Is there a magical confession that only you can use? ”

Ariel shook her head lightly and said, "No, Your Highness. If you like, you can also instantly grasp the power to light a fire anytime, anywhere. To use it, just keep your face directly above the opening of this small box, and then grab it with one hand and hold the button with the other. The previous version was designed to generate flames by shaking the crank, but now we've revamped it and just press a button. ”

As she spoke, Ariel stretched out her hands and handed the small box in her hand forward. The fierce wave immediately slapped the table and waved his hand happily. A servant next to him hurriedly stepped forward and took the small box from Ariel's hand.

"Your Highness! Never! ”

But at this time, the great elder of the association suddenly slapped the case and shouted-

"Your Royal Highness, I know what this is! It's a gift from the devil! This is the power of demons obtained by worshipping demons and trading with demons, and it is an ominous and destructive power! ”

As the Grand Elder of the Association got up, the High Priests of the Holy See on the other side immediately stood up after glancing at Ariel, a slave, and said, "Your Royal Highness, although the situation proposed by the Great Elder is a bit extreme, this magic prop is indeed a little imaginary with the tools of demon worship that have been raging in the Imperial City in the past two years. There's really no guarantee that this demon item isn't some kind of terrible killing tool! Your Highness can use it casually, I'm afraid it's really dangerous, so it's better not to touch it. ”

The fierce wave that was about to reach out and take it heard the Great Elder and the High Priest speak at the same time, and the expression on his face became a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the box handed over by the servant and said, "Demon worship? Is it the demon worship that took place in the empire two years ago? I remember what that cult was called......"

Seeing that the crown prince was a little shaken, the Great Elder hurriedly said: "The Origin Guild, the name of that cult is Origin, at first glance it looks like a registered ordinary guild, but it is actually using the ordinary guild as a cover, and it is actually developing some kind of evil demon worship cult. They make deals with demons through some terrible ritual in exchange for demonic powers, which can be used by those who are not favored by the gods. However, this is a thing that is completely contrary to the laws of nature. The cult's demonic powers have caused a great deal of casualties, and while those demonic powers appear to be able to provide strength on the surface, they will undoubtedly end in the destruction of the user. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! ”

Hearing the Great Elder's words, the servant holding the box trembled involuntarily, and looked at the "demon prop" in his palm, and his legs began to tremble.

Meng Lang thought for a while, turned his head to look at the Holy See on the other side, and said, "High Priest, I remember that in the original work of eliminating the cult, your Bright Holy See also contributed to the work, is this true?" ”

Seeing that the fierce waves had become more and more inclined to the traditional side, the high priest also stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Highness. The Origin Cult has plagued the people, and even fabricated some rumors that damaged the reputation of the God of Light, and even falsely claimed that it could give ordinary people the power that the God of Light did not give. There is no doubt that such slanderous words against God are cults and demonic acts. ”

At this point, the expression on Fierce Wave's face became solemn.

And Ariel, who was waiting below, was already soaked in cold sweat again.

She originally thought that this was just a small toy, and such a small toy should not encounter resistance, right?

But I didn't expect that just after taking out this little toy, it was immediately suppressed by both the association and the Holy See!

It seems that these vested interests lying on the magic affinity really hate the appearance of the elemental machine.

At this time, Ariel even involuntarily began to pray. As she prayed, her eyes involuntarily moved to the table next to her, and with a hint of pleading, she looked at her teacher, Connor Conservative.
