1 Golden "Spider Web"
Alan saw a net.
A large golden net crisscrossed and dotted with stars.
In the special state of magical perception, if you don't pay attention, this web is inconspicuous, like a spider web in the corner of the room, you don't look at it, although it exists, it seems to blend into the whole environment, and it is usually ignored.
However, as soon as you notice it, you will suddenly realize that the existence of this thing is so abrupt.
"Is this the means of the gods? a net?"
Because of thinking about this, Alan woke up in the early hours of the morning, and the residual sleepiness completely dissipated with this discovery, Ai abandoned the existence of the magic elements around him, and in his "sight", there was only this golden slightly transparent "spider web".
It is like an eternal existence, no matter how much Alan shifts his gaze, it will not disappear because of this, as if it is fixed in Allen's sight.
Under normal circumstances, Alan would not be able to see this thing, but as long as he was in a state of magical perception, this net would quietly appear, and it would be in a trance with the elementalized environment around him.
"What should I do with this net?" no one answered him, so Alan was left to research it on his own.
His approach to research is also simple, which is to completely immerse himself in the cobwebs, which in fact works.
As the duration of his concentration intensified, and gradually, the original magical elements around him quietly disappeared, and Alan suddenly realized that he had come to a special world.
It's like a new world!
A golden road under your feet leads to the unknown, and the feeling of stepping on it is solid and slightly tough, and the "roadside" on both sides is pitch black, which is not the usual black, but the darkness of the void, as if it can devour everything.
There was nothing on the road, and there was no scenery around, and when I looked up, the dim sky was also glowing with a hint of gold, and there was an eerie silence all around.
In this unknown place, it was as if time had stopped.
However, when Alan opened his legs, the dead silence suddenly dissipated.
It's not that the surroundings have changed, it's that Allen-
He stood in place for a long time, wanting to take a few steps to see, but the amazing thing was that he was just taking a random step, but it seemed to have crossed thousands of miles, and the strange feeling of spatial transformation appeared, and the surrounding environment blurred rapidly, and then stopped, and it had become a different appearance.
The golden road was still under his feet, it was dark to the left and right, the sky was still dark, and all this had not changed.
However, there was a man next to Alan!
A middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed!
In a trance, Alan wasn't sure if he had reached this person with his own steps, or if the person next to him had teleported to his feet in an instant, and the scenery was completely consistent and indistinguishable.
So after seeing that this person's eyes were closed and he didn't realize his arrival, he didn't pay attention to this person's existence, but couldn't wait to experiment.
As he stepped away, the space changed dramatically, and it became clear that he had come to a new placeβit seemed that he had indeed moved, and no one else.
It's new, but it's still the same, but the person sitting next to him has become a woman.
Elegant eyebrows, soft facial features, relative to the common blonde hair and blue eyes of the stars, the woman sitting on the "road" in front of her is more like the Chinese race in Allen's previous life, but her hair is indeed fiery red.
If nothing else, her eyes are equally red.
"The Morgans of the Red Mountain Continent?"
Circling around the woman with her eyes closed, Alan wondered and finally crouched down across from her, staring closely at the delicate redness of the skin, which was clearly distinguishable from the starmen.
"Is this what will allow me to communicate with all the mages in the world?"
"This man is a mage?"
"Is she real or imaginary?"
No one answered him, and in this silent world, it seemed that there was only one living person, Alan.
He got up, repeated his legs, and a "mage" appeared in front of him, either sitting cross-legged, lying on his back, crouching, or in a variety of strange shapes.
These people have humans, goblins, gnomes, and even non-human beings such as monsters, and the beast Alan can't see it, but humans or humanoid races are generally dressed like mages, plus Alan knows some reasons for the appearance of this place, so it is natural to guess that they are actually mages.
The people of the stars, the people of the Free Federation, the people of the Roland Empire, the people of the Red Mountain Continent, and even the distant people of the Blue Eagle Empire....
Countless people who had seen or had not seen but heard appeared beside Eren one after another, dressed in strange ways and in somewhat different postures, even wearing clothes and undressed, the only thing that was the same was their closed eyes and a solemn look similar to meditation.
Yes, meditation, even though he kept jumping into space and seeing countless people, the same look and special aura could still make Alan guess something.
They are all in a meditative state.
The strange thing is that the mage meditation should be sensitive to the surrounding environment, but no one noticed Allen's arrival!
Countless doubts surfaced in Allen's heart, and finally evolved into a desire, a desire to know the truth.
Under the effect of this desire, Alan finally reached out and stabbed a little boy in front of him, he wanted to test to see if he could wake him up, and then asked something, but as soon as his hand touched the boy's forehead, a violent suction suddenly appeared out of thin air, sucking his whole body into the little boy's weak body.
ββ
Bourne is an ordinary boy from the Blue Eagle Empire, who grew up in a remote town in the Blue Eagle Empire, his father is the clerk of the town, and his mother is a good tailor.
There is nothing special about this background, although there will be some preferential treatment in the town, but looking at the entire Blue Eagle Empire, it can only be called an ordinary rich family.
But thankfully, the lucky boy was not born into slavery, and the slaves of the Blue Eagle were hereditary.
The Blue Eagle Empire is a cutting-edge country, and there is generally a kind of upward momentum in the territory, and Bourne is no exception, although he is ten years old, he already has his own goal in life, which is to practice swordsmanship hard, and finally join the army and go to the battlefield to kill Roland Pig.
Roland Pig is a derogatory term for the people of the Roland Empire, the Blue Eagle Empire has always been at odds with Roland, and the Propaganda Department in the empire often uses an extremely insulting and sarcastic statement to promote all kinds of erosion of the Roland Empire, and therefore, everyone in the Blue Eagle Empire has great malice towards the Roland people.
Little Byrne was no exception, he already hated the Roland Empire at a young age, which could be seen in the goals he had set for himself.
Practicing swordsmanship, and then going to war, fighting Roland Pig, he had always planned to do so, but two years ago, this precocious life plan quietly died.
A white-bearded old man who suddenly breaks into his room breaks his peaceful life and brings Byrne something new - magic
Yes, magic, Bourne is very talented, and he is valued by this mage grandfather, and after a period of cultivation, he became a magician.
The path of the magician is tortuous and smooth, and it is said that it is tortuous because Bourne did not pass the test of the old man very easily, and it is smooth because his talent is indeed very good, and in less than two years, he has cultivated his magic power.
There is no comparison between him and his apprentice in the town, so Bourne thinks this seems to be very normal, but the master looks very excited, as if he is not badly talented?
At a young age, Bourne already had the ability to read words and colors, but he didn't think much about it, and according to the knowledge imparted by his master, he entered the state of magical perception for the first time, and then prepared to fuse the key of the elements.
It's just that not long after entering the magic perception, Byrne exited this state. The closed eyes slowly opened, and the little face was confused.
"What's wrong? Forgot about the fusion method?"
The old man's joking voice appeared next to his ears, it was his master Cage, the first time he entered the magic perception, he would naturally be by his side to watch over it.
Master Cage is a little old man with a bad personality, and he has long been accustomed to his character, so he didn't pay attention to Bourne's ridicule of his master, but looked up at him blankly: "Master, didn't you say that the magic perception state can only sense magic elements?"
"Of course. β
"But how could I sense someone?"
"Alone?" Cage grinned, "Little guy, you should be too nervous, people will hallucinate when they are nervous, don't worry too much." β
"It can't be a hallucination, he's still talking!" Byrne retorted dissatisfiedly. He thought that his expression just now was very serious, but the master didn't believe his words at all?
"Maybe you'll be talking to yourself again, kid, relax, the state of magical perception isn't so scary. β
"I'm talking to you very seriously!" said Bourne, angrily, but no matter how he explained, the old mage just didn't believe it.
This is normal, after all, mages have been developing for thousands of years, and they have never heard of anything extra in their magical perception, let alone a person?
In this regard, Bourne wanted to prove that he was not lying, so he entered the magic perception again under the witness of the old mage,
By this time, however, the man had disappeared.
