Chapter 64: Magical Factions

"And what do you mean?" said Garthas, frowning.

"I'm not one of those antiques," Gully said after a two-second silence, "and since you can put aside these prejudices, I have no opinion." ”

"That's good. When Garthers heard this, a smile appeared on his old face, he glanced at Ari, turned and walked out, and when he reached the door, he turned back to Ari and said, "Go to the cabin and look for me before dawn tomorrow." ”

After Gathus left, Ari looked at his father, Gully, with a puzzled expression. Obviously, he just didn't understand what they were saying.

"Let's go to your mother first, she's worried. Gully smiled and took Ari's little hand and walked out of the castle.

Even if he didn't have to search for it mentally, Gully knew where his wife was.

Since the manor has been renovated by Eri, it has become a small park. Although Ari himself was not satisfied with many of the details, for Peya, it was perfect.

Her favorite thing to do now is to sit on a wicker chair next to the rockery and watch the lively scene in the manor. She liked the feeling more than the old fortress structure, especially since it was made by her precious son, which made her even more happy.

Living in such a place, she no longer wants to think of the empire, let alone those hatreds, she just wants to silently watch Gurley and Ari grow up, and then marry and have children.

Thinking of these beautiful scenes, her brow furrowed. Just as Gully knew her, she knew Gully too well, and when Gully made Ari an apprentice to Garthus, she knew Gully wasn't dead.

The current calm is only due to the need to accumulate strength. Without the Holy Magic Staff, not even Gully had the confidence to cross the Arctic Ice Sheet again and return to his homeland.

Peya knew in her heart that a proud man like Guli would not be able to keep him in the small village of Bran. Despite living in Bran Village for three years, Gully never gave up on the idea of returning. But Peya understands better that such an experience of being expelled from the city, if it can't be washed away, will be a shame for his whole life. So she couldn't dissuade at all.

It was almost dusk at this time, and Ari saw Peya sitting gracefully on a wicker chair from a distance, looking at the burning clouds in the sky.

It's a beautiful picture, so Iri regrets that he doesn't have a camera or can draw, so he can't record this picture forever.

"Mom. When Ari arrived, he screamed crisply, and only then would he be willing to be a child.

"There won't be any danger. Peya gently took Ari into her arms, smiled and stroked the top of his head, then looked at Gully with a little concern and asked.

When she saw Ari awaken from her meditation, she left with the others, leaving the place to Gully and Gatherth. So she didn't hear the conversation between them.

"No, and Iri is a blessing in disguise. Gully smiled and explained the situation to Peya.

When Peiya heard that Eri was going to learn spiritual magic with Garthas, her expression darkened. It's just that she easily covered the past with a smile, and Gurley didn't notice it.

When Ari heard this, he asked curiously, "Is there any difference between spiritual magic and ordinary magic?"

"Since you've started to learn magic, I'll tell you about the history of magic. Gully smiled and moved a chair and sat down.

"When magic first appeared among humans, it followed the concept of triangular magic of the elves, dragons, and dwarves, that is, three-pointed star magic. Each corner is orderly, neutral, and chaotic. Later, it developed into four elements, namely the four-pointed star classification, which is water, fire, wind, and earth, and then the five-pointed star magic, the six-pointed star magic, and the most mainstream seven-pointed star classification today. That is, wind, fire, wood, water, earth, thunder, time and space. Of course, there are also decen-pointed stars, twelve-pointed stars, and so on... Magic classification, but it's not very mainstream, so I won't go into detail with you. ”

Gully continued, "Of the seven types of elemental magic, space-time magic is the most special, occupying the very top corner of the seven-pointed star. In fact, it can also be subdivided into time magic and space magic. Until now, though, no one had ever seen time magic. It's always been a legend.

All of the above categories are actually elemental magic, and in addition to this, there is also a faction of magic called spiritual magic. Elemental magic is to command the elements in nature through the magic power you possess, and exert the maximum power of magic. ”

"Spiritual magic is different, the initial proposition of spiritual magic is to cultivate one's own spiritual power, and it also puts forward a theory that makes elemental magic the most resistant - the theory of magic pollution.

Spiritual magicians believe that if a magician practices elemental magic before cultivating spiritual magic, the spiritual power will be corroded by the magical elements and become no longer pure, and the magician's spiritual ripples will also be polluted, thus losing the pulse of the most original source of spiritual power. In this way, even when using spiritual magic, it will be subtly disturbed by the magic elements and become less pure.

In this regard, the footholds of spiritual mages and elemental mages are already opposed to each other. ”

"Then why did my father agree to me to study psychic magic? Ari asked curiously.

"The first is that you can't practice elemental magic because of the curse, and the second is because we don't resist spiritual magic in our family. While we don't agree with the theory of magical contamination of psychic magic, psychic magic does have its own unique features. ”

"Moreover, I vaguely feel that spiritual magic and elemental magic are not completely opposed, and I once practiced spatial magic with a holy magic wand, and I felt this even more deeply. Because space is not an element, but uses its own spiritual power to form control over space, in this regard, it is more appropriate to say that space magic belongs to spiritual magic. ”

"Then the ice magic practiced by the teacher is not among the listed elements, you see......" Ari folded his hands and counted: "Wind, fire, wood, water, earth, thunder, time and space, there is no ice in this, is ice magic not elemental magic?"

Ari suddenly thought of this question and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"That's right, ice magic doesn't belong to elemental magic," Gurley nodded, "Ice magic actually evolved from water magic, and spiritual magicians forcibly changed the order of water elements through their own spiritual power to form more powerful ice magic. Ice magic, while powerful, also has a lot of weaknesses. ”

"What weakness?"

"Although the explosion of ice magic is high, it cannot last. And this is also a common problem for spiritual magicians. They need to fight through their own spiritual power, and the spiritual power of human beings is limited after all, and usually the number of magic released by spiritual power mages is only one-third of that of elemental mages. ”
