Chapter 47 (Closing the Magic Furnace)
Chapter 47
The Magic Light Forge - is a machine created by the ancestors of the Kingdom of Piero to simulate the Tide Stone, also known as the Magic Stone, which can extract a large number of primitive magic factors in the world for human use. When the Kingdom of Piero was founded, it required a lot of labor and creativity, and the ancestors thought of using the power of magic in order to increase the efficiency of nation-building, so that in terms of human resources, they could do more with less. 》
But the side effects of the Magic Furnace are...... Endless dependence, the more people who don't understand magic, the easier it is to rely on. Therefore, with the birth of the Magic Light Furnace, the magic academy founded by the Kingdom of Piero allows more people to learn magical wisdom and develop magical energy from themselves, rather than simply using magic. 》
The book that mentioned this passage was not kept in the library of the Academy of Magic, but was hidden in his abode by Suga, and he was sure that no one but him had read it...... And the reason why he hid this book was...... This book can cause great unease.
But how smart was the prince in front of him, who could think of this level, Suga was terrified and stunned...... What made him so uneasy was not the prince's intentions, but if, as the prince said, he would close the magic light crucible...... What kind of scene will the next second of the Piero Kingdom be!
"Report to the Archmagister, His Royal Highness Prince Martyr, King Varik...... Sudden illness. "A guard suddenly appeared at the door of the hall and brought bad news enough to interrupt the conversation between the master and the apprentice.
Shocked by the sudden bad news, Suga was equally surprised, and the two left the furnace hall without saying anything, and quickly rushed towards the palace. The Academy of Magic was not far from the palace, and the two jumped down from the Hanging Island, unleashed wind elemental magic, and soon reached the king's bedchamber, and before the two, their sister Princess Yanna, and several royal healing mages, had already begun to treat the king urgently.
"Father...... What's wrong with you?" Nick threw himself on the king's sickbed, and immediately shook the old king's hand. The feeling of weakness of his father swept through Nick's body.
"My child...... Father, I'm ...... I don't want to be corrupted by magic anymore...... But...... It's too late......" King Varik was so angry that his voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.
"What do you mean? Father...... Make it clear!" Hack shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Addiction...... I...... I can't leave the magic anymore, but ...... I cut off my perception of magic, it was too late, my body simply couldn't stand the days without magic, but I ...... I want to use my own hands...... Go do something, I ...... No regrets!" King Varik clenched Nick's hand tightly, but Ark could feel that his father's withered hand had long since lost its magic and strength.
"Father, why are you doing this, I have magic in my body, I'll inject ...... for you" Nick grabbed his father's hand tightly, but no matter how he injected his magic power, his father's body was like a leaky box, and he couldn't retain a trace of it.
"Suga...... I don't know how to apologize to you...... Magic Forge ...... has become a burden to Pierrot, you ...... Certainly, no, let the kingdom of Piero become magical...... Puppet. King Varik used the last of his strength to lie limply on the bed, and as the healing mages around him poured up again, he knew that the temperature that belonged to his father in his hand had gradually cooled.
"Can't !!! !!! Hack" as Suga exclaimed! Hack drove the magic and rushed out of the palace with a sharp arrow, and only Suga knew what Hack was going to do, and almost at the same time turned into a gust of wind and chased after Hack.
"If you do this, you are a sinner in the kingdom! Your father will not dare to do this, and you can't, we have to think about it in the long run!!" Suga's voice rushed to Nick's ears, but Hack was already grief-stricken and angry, and did not slow down his speed in the slightest.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!!" Vick rushed to the Furnace Hall, the guard mage tried to stop it, but under the angry counter-magic of Vic, the guard mage's staff did not emit a single light!" "Prince Zombie...... You can't ......" a magic guard shouted, but the voice was muffled, and in the face of Nick's wrathful magic, these guards couldn't chant and cast spells, or even speak.
The door of the Forge Hall was shattered by a brutal fireball, and Nick rushed into the Magic Light Forge Hall like a meteor, then turned his head and commanded with his hand, and the door of the hall once again raised a wall of magical energy, blocking Suga who followed closely behind.
"Don't get excited, we have other ways to do it. Suga was blocked by the energy wall, and while trying to stabilize Nick, she used her fingers to crack Nick's spell.
"Teacher, you're right, my father is too kind...... He doesn't want to be a caged bird anymore, it's just that he's lost his wings to fly, but we haven't, we can't continue to be puppets of magic!"
Suga's fingers frantically cracked the energy wall, but in his eyes, Nick had slowly pulled out the war knife that Zeng Carlo had given him. "It's over, the kingdom of Piero needs a breath of fresh air. Seeing the shiny metal war knife, the blade of which was shrouded in electric light, Nick shouted angrily and inserted the war knife into the operation panel of the magic light furnace.
"What have you done!! the magic wall in front of Suga disappeared, but at the same time...... An inexplicable sense of emptiness swept through the archmage's body.
"The magic is gone, and the Sky Island is falling. Prince Dead...... You're too impulsive!" Archmage Suga was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't help but try to understand Nick's mood, which was extremely contradictory.
"I can hold the falling hanging island, and you go to evacuate the people near the fall. I can't hold out for long......" Suga didn't have time to care about the Magic Light Furnace, and shouted at Zombie, who still couldn't calm down!
"!" Nick reacted, and immediately rushed out of the magic academy and flew under the Sky Island.
As time passed, the Great Magus Suga used all his magic power to reduce the falling speed of the huge sky island to the slowest speed, and at the landing point, the Evil Tree urged the wind elemental magic to quickly send the people in the dangerous area to the farther open space one by one!
Without the magic furnace, Nick quickly felt tired...... Of course, so is Suga!
"We're here to help, too. "The mage regiment in charge of guarding the palace and the magic academy all appeared nearby, and after some chanting, thick icicles rose from the ground, and dozens of icicles connected to the bottom of the empty island, like supports, resisted the falling behemoth.
"Why is the magic gone? Magic Furnace...... What's wrong?" a low voice sounded not far from Nick, who looked up and saw Prince Dork standing in mid-air, looking at Nick with a slight dismay.
“...... I...... Turned it off. Yan Ke said solemnly, although it was indeed a little reckless, but he did not regret it.
"Hmph... Hehehe, hahahaha...... Well done, Your Highness, you are ...... Doing something big that is the enemy of the whole kingdom" Prince Dork slowly returned to the ground, but his eyes were full of strange staring at Nick, which made Nick feel a little chill down his back.
"Is it His Royal Highness the Prince? Why does His Royal Highness the Prince...... You want to turn off the Magic Light Furnace?"
"I suddenly feel so tired, what is this going on, Prince? I can't use magic anymore. ”
"Me too...... I can't run...... I'm so tired, my magic is gone, my strength is gone. ”
The people near the royal city began to be noisy, and the voices of resentment gathered more and more, even mixed with weeping and scolding. Staying in the air, he looked down at the people who were usually comfortable and harmonious, full of temperament, and became like a ghost in the moment of losing his magic. The heart is full of desolation.
"See, you have to face the wrath of your countrymen! This is not something that no one can bear, not even the king. Suga near the Sky Island in the distance said quietly, after stabilizing the falling Sky Island, Suga also showed fatigue, Nick had never seen his teacher so weak.
