Chapter 59: The Origin of Magic
"That's how great an adult is. Akali complimented, smiling and pointing to what looked like a magic circle on the fourth drawing. "Then Elder, do you see anything from this magic array?"
Xu Yi stared at the fourth drawing for a long time, and slowly shook his head.
"No, this drawing is not complete. ”
"Oh?" Akali looked interested.
Xu Yi glanced at him and sighed: "You are also a great magician yourself, can't you see that this formation diagram must be flawed?" You see, here, here, and here, it is obvious that there is no continuity in the middle at all, but there is obviously something missing. ”
Akali laughed: "Sure enough, you can't fool you, the adult." That's right, Elder Wendini and I studied this formation map for a long time, and confirmed that this formation map was actually missing. If we extrapolate, it's probably because we haven't found all the ruins, so this formation map is not complete. ”
Xu Yi frowned, pointed to the drawing, and said, "Since you have found the formation diagram, it should be easy to deduce where the ruins corresponding to the missing part are, why haven't you found it?"
Akali shook her head helplessly: "We did deduce that there should be seven ruins that have not been found based on the formation map, but when we found the inferred area, we found that there was only sea water in that area, not even any small islands, let alone any ruins. ”
"Really?"
Xu Yi thought for a moment, and then was relieved.
When the Abyss Demon Clan left this world, it was more than 10,000 years ago.
It is the so-called vicissitudes of life. More than 10,000 years. Enough for the world's topography to undergo a dramatic transformation.
What kind of changes have happened to the sea where this ruin is located? Not at all.
Elder Wendini said the same thing. Akali agreed with Xu Yi's reasoning. "But then it's hard for us to find the remainder of the ruins. There is also a more important question...... "
"What?"
"After 10,000 years of time, these small islands where the ruins were originally stored have disappeared, so it is not surprising that the location of the other ruins has changed. How can we be sure that this formation diagram is correct?"
Xu Yi looked down at the fourth drawing and sighed softly.
Akali was right.
It is not uncommon for the island carrying the ruins to have shifted in the past 10,000 years, so this formation map depicted according to the location of the ruins has not had much practical significance.
"No, there are. Akali shook her head. "At the very least, we know one thing. The demons of the Abyss are actually using magic as well. In addition, Elder Wentini said that according to the legends passed down from the elves, the elves did not study their own magic, but learned it from other places. I didn't know before, but now it seems that I may have learned it from the hands of the Abyss Demons. ”
Xu was also a little surprised.
According to the history that has been passed down on the continent of Sainz, the magic mastered by humans and other races is actually stolen from the elves, and then gradually developed into magic with its own characteristics.
But no one had ever doubted where the elven magic came from.
If Akali and Elder Wentini's research is true now, it means that the elven magic has been learned from the hands of the Abyss demons. But it almost overturned the history of the entire Sainz continent.
Xu Yi thought more far-reaching.
What exactly is magic?
In Xu Yi's view, it is actually just a way to use energy.
If the elves are the magic they have mastered from the hands of the Abyssal Demons. Then these spells are probably not called magic, but should be an advanced energy use technology mastered by the Abyss Demons.
The ancestors of the elves learned some fur from the abyssal demons, but they did not understand the truth, and eventually evolved into the mysterious and magical magic of the Sainz continent.
Xu Yi's current concept of magical science is a reversal of the truth contained in it by magic, tracing back to its origins.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly felt that his heart brightened, and the questions that Xu Yi had always had in his heart seemed to have been answered.
Why do the people on the continent of Sainz have such a magical skill as magic, even though they are so backward in civilization?
Why is it that through the scientific research of magic over the years, Xu Yi has discovered more and more principles and characteristics that are far beyond the earth's technology?
Why did the people of the Sainz continent possess such a magical tool as magic, but they have been developing slowly, and it is not until Xu Yi's arrival that they can lead them to breakthrough development?
Before, Xu Yi felt that these problems were fundamentally contrary to the common sense of social development, but now that he finally knew that these magic were stolen from the ancestors of the elf clan from the hands of the abyss demon clan, then everything made sense.
"Lord, where do you think of it again?" Akali looked at the changing look on Xu Yi's face, and waved her hand in front of him with some worry.
Xu Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fluctuations in his heart.
If that's the truth of the world, that's amazing.
After settling down, he suddenly remembered a question again.
"Akali, do you know why the Abyssal Demon Clan is called that?"
Akali shook her head, "I don't know. You should ask Elder Wendiny. ”
"Hmm...... By the way, what about Elder Wendiny?"
"Waiting for us in front. ”
About two hours later, the magic airship came to a halt a little east-north of Space Island, about 400 kilometers away.
"It's here. Akali stretched, ended her discussion with Xu Yi about the ruins and the magic circle, and stood up.
Xu also looked down through the porthole, revealing a hint of doubt.
"There's no island down here. ”
"You'll find out in a moment. ”
Akali smiled, let the magic airship descend a little, suspended in the air just a dozen meters from the sea, and then opened the hatch.
"Elder, let's go down, Elder Wendini is waiting for us down there. ”
"Downtown?" Xu Yi looked down at the blue sea below with a strange expression. "Didn't you tell me she's in the water right now?"
"That's right. Akali laughed and jumped out of the hatch.
As she approached the water, she floated, raised her head and waved her hand upward, shouting, "Lord, come down quickly!"
"What the hell?"
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly, turned around and ordered the subordinates in the magic airship, turned around and jumped out.
Akali now also has a powerful power at the level of a great magician, not to mention Xu Yi, the sea is a forbidden place for ordinary people, but for the two of them, there is no hindrance.
Approaching the surface of the sea, the two of them casually poked out some magic power, separated the sea water, and then shrouded them around their bodies with a magic shield, which was equivalent to sinking into the sea with a huge air cover.
Akali led the way in front without stopping, Xu Yi followed, and in a short time, he had already penetrated hundreds of meters below the sea.
At this depth, the bottom of the sea was already pitch black, so the two of them used magic to create some light.
After about a hundred meters of continuous diving, a little light suddenly appeared below.
Akali pointed to Xu Yi in the direction where the little light was, and sped down.
Xu Yi also sped up and followed behind.
The distance was closer, and Xu Yi found that the light was very faint from a distance, but it could be clearly seen in such a deep sea, but it was actually very bright.
When I got closer, I found that the place where the light was sticking out was a hole.
Xu Yi is not surprised by this.
There are all kinds of terrain on the bottom of the sea, and it is not uncommon to have caves under the sea.
But the inside of the cave glows, which is a bit unusual.
Akali beckoned to Xu Yi and burrowed into the hole.
Xu Yi swam in with him, but found that the light was coming from the depths of the cave.
After sneaking deeper for a while, Xu Yi suddenly felt a loosening of his body, as if the pressure of the sea water coming from all directions had suddenly disappeared.
"Come down, Lord Grown, there's no water here. Akali didn't know when she landed on the ground below the cave and beckoned to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi also fell down suspiciously, and after stepping on the ground, he stomped hard, and found that his feet were unusually thick, and there were a few dull sounds, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was stepping on an ordinary seabed.
"Grown, you can let go of the protective shield, you can breathe inside, it's no different from outside. Akali added.
"Really?" Xu Yi glanced at Akali, and then leaned out his magic power to sense, and sure enough, he found that the surrounding space was almost exactly the same as the normal space on the sea.
After removing the magic shield, sure enough, there was no seawater rushing around, and with a hard sniff, you could inhale very fresh air.
Xu Yi looked at the sea water that was close behind him, but it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and his face was full of surprise.
"Here...... Is there a natural magic shield to protect it?" Xu Yi actually wanted to say about the oxygen shield, but he reacted temporarily.
"Not necessarily natural...... Akali smiled mysteriously.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and sensed the boundary of the invisible barrier that separated the seawater, and found that there was a strange energy reaction surging in this barrier, although it was somewhat close to the magic shield, but in fact it was still very different.
Either way, it doesn't look like something naturally generated.
"Alright, let's go in first. Akali pulled Xu Yi again and continued deeper into the hole.
After turning a corner, the eyes suddenly opened up.
Xu Yi looked forward and saw two slender figures standing in front of a wall in the distance. (To be continued.) )
