"Faust is the most powerful magician of all time, and probably even the most powerful person in this dimensional universe, so powerful that he can't even be called a human. Joey said slowly, "He has been to many planes and left countless legends. ”

"I won't go into the details of his life, but what we do know is that on the eve of the Battle of Dawn, he left the City of Daybreak and was seriously wounded beyond repair."

"Before he died, he sealed himself away with all the wealth and secrets he had during his lifetime, and for some reason, the later magicians who came out of the City of Dawn did not want to mention his name, and his story did not appear in the history of magic, so that almost no magicians on the continent today know who Faust is. ”

"There are many magicians in the council who try to explore the ruins of Faust's tomb and find the secrets inside, and some of them do find the place, but they don't have the key to open the ruins, and they can't crack Faust's magic, so they have to give up. ”

"This pendant in your hand has been hanging around your mother's neck back then, and we all thought it was just an ordinary ornament. ”

Joey thought back to the scene and her eyes showed disgust, "Until one point, in the process of being tried by the council, she used the power of this pendant to attract the attention of some of the high-ranking old guys in the council, who clamored for her to hand over the pendant. ”

"With my mother's character, I guess I wouldn't have agreed!" Constantine said with a wry smile.

"Your mother, of course, didn't agree, and the old guys in the council forced her to hand over the pendant or banish her from Daybreak, only to have your mother challenge them, defeat them all without using the Holy Key, and leave without returning. ”

Joey took a sip of tea and shook his head with emotion. "She was able to beat up all a dozen or so great magisters, I have to say, she is really a crazy and perverted guy. ”

Constantine didn't know what expression to put on.

"It was decades before I heard about her, not long after I became the Grand Magus. ”

"I have learned that your mother gave this pendant to a magician of our time, who later chose to practice magic and became the Pope of the present day. "That guy had a fight with your mother, but they were good friends." ”

Constantine sighed, "I can probably see what is going on, I just want to know now, Master Joey, what happened to Winterfell back then, and why did the Celestial Gate appear there?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to guess, you'll have to ask the guy sitting in the Temple of Radiance. Joey said unmistakably.

"How could I, a little priest, go to the Temple of Radiance and ask His Majesty, old man, don't tease me. Constantine was speechless.

"Isn't that what you're approaching that little girl Diana for?" Joey looked at him mockingly.

"That was a long time later. Constantine said, "Where is Your Highness now?"

"She went to the abyss. ”

Constantine was shocked, "What is Your Highness doing in such a place, she is not afraid of attracting a demonic siege?"

"The risks are proportional to the benefits, as a bounty hunter, you should understand this, she needs to grow up quickly to take on the burden of her teacher," Joey waved his hand to dispel the demons around her, "It's you, little one, what are your plans?"

Constantine held the pendant in his hand and pondered for a moment, "I will stay at the academy for a little longer, and then find an opportunity to leave and see if I can find Faust's mausoleum." ”

Joey stared at him with a playful gaze, "You want to get what the great St. Faust left behind, and then complete your plan for restoration, interesting." ”

The boy was noncommittal, but Joey's words just now did make him very moved, if the legend is true, then does his mother leave such a thing to himself, does it imply that he can go to find the ruins of the legendary great magician and obtain those treasures left by that Faust?

If the secret left by Faust is really so powerful, even a terrifying magician like the black-robed man, as well as those powerhouses of the World Tree Council, would be tempted to get it, wouldn't he be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years, drive away the army of dragon lances, and let his father's last wish come true.

The seeds of desire sprouted in his heart and slowly grew into towering trees.

"It's a pity that you can't eat a fat person in one bite, little one. As if sensing the ardent longing in the boy's heart, Joey sighed, "Faust said that power that cannot be harnessed by wisdom can only be a disaster, just like Younas, who was also a very talented magician back then, and went astray because of his excessive obsession with power. Even if you use the key your mother left you to get what Faust left behind, will you be able to use it with your current humble magic?"

"The most important thing for you at the moment is to make yourself stronger, not to always think about relying on external forces. Joey looked directly into the young man's eyes, "Even if you become a sword saint one day like your father, how many people can you protect, you can kill hundreds of knights with dragon spears now, but if the other party comes tens of thousands of people, how can you deal with it, use this?"

Joey pulled out the "Dawn" out of nowhere and rested it on the table, the crystal sword shining on the round table.

"You were able to defeat that kid Rommel mostly because he was a light enemy, not because of your magical prowess. Joey said coldly, "In a few decades, with his dragon bloodline, he will surely become a powerful magician or warrior, if you meet him on the battlefield, how will you win?

Constantine was speechless, the battle in the underground halls of Olympia had shown him his powerlessness, and that the skills he had relied on to survive in the past were useless in front of the black-robed man.

In the face of the knowledge and power system accumulated in the occult realm for thousands of years, the skills he had honed through hard work and chance in the previous ten years were like a joke.

What's more, even his teacher, the middle-aged man, told him more than once: with his talent in swordsmanship, he could hardly reach the height of his father in this life.

He remembered what Younas had said to himself: "If you had one-fifth of your mother's magic, I would have run away long ago." ”

"Well, do you want to think about becoming an Arcanist?" Joey said with satisfaction that Constantine was not annoyed by his verbal blow, but rather thought about it seriously.

"Arcanist?" Constantine was stunned for a moment.

Arcanists are a rather unpopular branch of mages compared to elemental mages, many of them practice several arcane spells at the lower levels, but few are willing to devote their energy to learning arcane spells.

At the low-level stage, the lethality of arcane is far less terrifying than that of elemental magic, and mid- and low-level arcanists have little actual combat ability, and few mages are willing to practice.

But at the advanced level, the situation is completely different, the value of one high-level arcanist's field control ability in a large-scale war is immeasurable, one arcanist will be more effective than other mages if he casts his spell properly, and a single teleportation spell has the potential to change the entire battle situation.

And the top arcanists, those who can interfere with time and space, will become a nightmare for all legal professions.

That's why Joey's record is so prominent among the top ten magisters.

Whether it is [Time Still] or [Dimensional Cutting], it is a spell that is almost unsolvable.

The problem is that the vast majority of mages will never be able to obtain the Golden Balance Badge that symbolizes a high-ranking mage, so why bother to delve into arcane arts?

Therefore, most magicians are willing to focus on the present rather than the possibility of the future, not because they are short-sighted, but because they have very limited energy and resources, and make relatively rational decisions.

After all, not every magician has the talent and good fortune of Joey.

If Joey hadn't entered the World Tree Council to practice, I'm afraid that by now, he would have been just an obscure arcanist.
