15. Strange times

Another period of time has passed, and there is no good place to go, so the ashes of the current are staying in the place where the ancient mage lives in seclusion. In this regard, the ancient one himself did not oppose such acts, after all, the ancient one's place itself was a semi-public place of practice. Basically, everyone who comes here will help Gu Yi, and those who are talented and willing to stay, Gu Yi will also teach them spells without hesitation. Even if he is not talented, the ancient one will thoughtfully prepare the examination room for others to stay and rest. And those who can know the existence of the ancient one are members of the upper class around the world, so there will be no behavior such as relying here and not leaving...... Except for ashes.

Staying here without the slightest psychological burden, Ash is very curious about this strange and interesting world. This thing called the Internet connects people all over the world, and during this time, Ash has been staying by his own fire and watching the new and strange events on the Internet...... Yes, by the fire. The day after coming here, the Firefighter Girl commissioned a box of spiral swords to be sent through the ancient one's long-distance spatial teleportation...... As a necessity for a fixed campfire, this thing is both a consumable and a valuable item. I don't know where the fire prevention girl got so much. But I didn't care too much about it, because the fire girl never lied to herself...... Except for the time when I was a child, I tricked myself to go out and relax, and then waited for an opportunity to sexually assault myself...... Anyway, after receiving this delivery, Ash immediately set up a campfire in the guest room of the Ancient One...... Then, the room became a place of ashes.

It is worth mentioning that a campfire with a spiral sword as a carrier cannot be destroyed, let alone urine yellow, even if you have urine bleeding, it may not be extinguished. Ash knows this well......

It's not just the ashes that stay here in the ancient one, even Hela didn't choose to leave, not simply because of the food, but for this atrium that has undergone great changes, Hela feels more unfamiliar while being familiar. It's impossible to say that there is no interest...... "I didn't expect that in these five thousand years, the technology in the atrium has developed to this point......" As she spoke, Hela looked thoughtfully at the news about a guy named Tony Stark. And Ash, who heard Hela's words and was addicted to online games, squinted his eyes at the current news broadcast on the TV screen. Shrugging his shoulders, Ash said he didn't care.

"The armor is good."

……

"Do you want it?" Hearing Ash's words, Hela was silent for a moment before looking at Ash with an inquiring gaze, and Ash shook her head after a moment of thoughtful thought. "Forget it, I've been wearing this armor for so long, I'm afraid I'm afraid it will be a little uncomfortable to change myself...... And that armor on him is just too fancy. Looking at the gold and red armor on the screen, Ash said with some disgust: "If it was on the battlefield, the person wearing this armor must be the first to be shot into a sieve." So thin, it looks like there is no defense at all ... But it's fun to be able to fly. ”

As he spoke, Ash took out the refined firefly element from the fire on the side and poured it into the ash elemental bottle for accelerated cooling. Although this thing doesn't do much for herself, it's a great way for Hela to replenish her mana. Because Hela is still limited by the Mana Containment Inscription, preparing a little more cooled campfire solution will also help Hela last her mana in battle......

"Maybe I can try to learn spells or something." Touching his chin, Ash has been fighting with cold weapons such as swords for as long as he can remember, and the immortal vitality has prompted Ash to survive from the Fire Age of I don't know how long ago to the present. Along the way, Ash had reached the end of everything he could in melee combat, and since there was no room for improvement in melee combat, Ash naturally focused on spells......

In fact, this idea was born a long time ago, but it has been delayed because of the fire transmission, so it has not been implemented......

"Give it up." The Ancient One Master walked in from outside and said, "I've tried, but your body isn't any type of life we know...... Similarly, your body cannot store magical elements in any sense. ”

With a calm face, after hearing Ash talk about his past with the Fire Girl, Gu Yi was no longer persuading Ash to go to New York to meet with the Fire Girl. Instead, she observed all this from the perspective of a bystander, and her friendship with the Fireproof Girl did not change in the slightest, or for the Ancient One, the Fireproof Girl was always the Fireproof Girl, as for what she had done...... Well, then what has been done.

And, fundamentally, I don't know why, the ancient one was able to feel that the ashes were not simply repelled by the fireproof woman for this reason. It was even said that the ancient one still felt a little weak in his ash tone...... Is it because there is something that you don't dare to face? Thinking about it, the ancient one didn't put this expression on his face.

Looking at the ashes in front of him, a faint smile rose on Gu Yi's face, and then he shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't need to be sad...... You're the only one I've ever seen who has a badly damaged soul and is still able to heal itself...... Well, people. The soul itself is the most basic origin of all power, and it is also the most mysterious existence in the world. Some small spells also consume a lot of soul energy, at most it is just a short period of rest. ”

"Of course, if you're going to unleash the kind of "miracle" you've used before, I'm sorry if I didn't say it...... If you are a normal person, even if your soul energy is multiplied by ten times, you may not be able to release it. ”

Hearing this, the expression of the ashes that had been a little happy on his face dimmed again...... That said, the ashes didn't dim for long. Essentially, the most basic reason why Ash wants to learn magic is just to find a substitute that consumes soul energy when using miracle spells. If you can't...... It doesn't make a difference. Originally, in the Age of Fire, Ember was the "primordial ember" of Arnoor Lund, who was known for his melee combat. The role of magic in this is just an embellishment in itself.

And besides, in terms of magical attainments alone, Pope Shaliwan or the Crystallized Old Man was obviously a better choice. Although they have been sent to sleep by themselves, their souls and their weapons are still in their hands......

"But speaking of which...... The world is really strange. Shaking his head and looking at the screen on the side, Ash said with some incomprehension: "In our time, only people who are more than four meters tall can be regarded as normal people. People of my height are generally called dwarves...... By the end of your life, I've become a tall man? ”

"This is the difference of the times......" Shaking his head, the ancient one explained, "You also said that Gwen, whom you revered as a god, was seven or eight meters tall. Since he is a god, it is only natural that everything must be done by their standards...... Just like the Miss Hela next to me. At a time when the earth has not yet been freed from ignorance, Asgard is the best benchmark for measuring the world. ”
