Magellan had little knowledge of tea, so he took a sip and praised it loudly, then chased after the old man and asked about the story of the mage lord. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The old man smiled, and he asked Magellan, "There are many stories about the mage lord, which one would you like to hear?"

"Magical!"

"Good. The old man nodded, looking at his expression, he must have heard this request many times.

"Let me tell you a story about a mage lord and a mage competing for magic in front of the caliph. ”

"Good!"

The old man put down his teacup and looked at it with a look of remembrance.

"A hundred years after Saladin the Great, the mages came to this world from the Maelstrom, and they followed the orcs who came with them to attack the dragon kingdom in the south. But the country was so powerful that they were defeated, fleeing from the steppes under the maelstrom and heading west to Alpha. ”

The caliph generously accepted them and summoned the mages to the court to inquire about their magical skills. Naturally, the mages rejoiced, stirred up their incorruptible tongues, and said that their magic was rare in the world, unparalleled in the world. This was not a strange thing, the caliph was their monarch and benefactor, and the courtiers were supposed to please the lord, but it attracted the hostility of the mage lords. ”

An unruly mage lord stood up on the spot and loudly announced that the mage's magic was far inferior to that of their mage lord, and that he wanted to test his magic skills with the mage. The Caliph was furious, and he ordered that the mage lord be taken away from his fiefdom and that he should not be allowed to appear in the Caliph's palace again. ”

"The caliph's decision was brilliant because the magelord had violated the tradition of Araffa's hospitality, which was the essence of human beings, and even the caliph could not violate it. But the mage lord was destined not to leave here, and the mage's request for the caliph's forgiveness was fulfilled just because he was a guest. ”

But instead of being grateful, the mage lord swore in his heart that he would make the mage unlucky. The caliph was intrigued by the mage's magic and ordered him to show it, when the mage lord stepped forward. He said to the Caliph: "

"My lord Caliph, favored by Allah, ruler of gods, men, and elves, how difficult it is to see the magic skills, it is better for me to compete with him, and if I compare, I can naturally see the subtleties. ”

The caliph thought in his heart that this was the mage lord's gratitude, and naturally he did not allow it, but the mage knew that the mage lord harbored evil intentions and wanted him to make a fool of himself in front of the caliph. ”

The two went back to prepare, and the next day, in the palace of the caliphate, the competition began. ”

"The first scene is a comparison of the appearance of the world. ”

"The mage came first, and he took out a picture of the scene of the time, the caliph on the throne, the palace was glorious, and all the ministers were lined up, all of them were magnificent. ”

"This is the world. ”

The caliph smiled, but like the courtiers, he did not understand what the mage meant. At this time, the mage lord stepped forward, and he took out a disc, from the inside out, except for the small circle in the middle, a total of four rings. He pointed the four rings to the caliph: "

"At the top is the world of the wind element, where birds live.

As he spoke, he pointed to the outermost ring, in which a bird was drawn in the white-painted circle.

Below the wind is the world of the water element, where fish live.

The second ring is painted green, and inside is a fish pattern.

Underneath the water is the earth, which is the shell of a giant tortoise.

The third ring is painted yellow, and inside is the giant tortoise Haraka, which carries the earth on its back.

Beneath the earth was fire, and there was no life in the lava, only the saloon snakes frolicking in it.

The fourth smallest ring, painted red, contains a lizard covered in flames, which is none other than the fire spirit Saroman serpent. ”

Finally, the mage lord pointed to the small circle without a pattern in the center and said: This is the essence, not in any world, but it affects all worlds. Together, these five elements are the world. ”

All the courtiers praised the mage-lord for his clarity and clarity, and for the clarity and wonderfulness of what the caliph thought was true. So, the mage lord was full of ambition and arrogantly asked the mage: "Isn't there an essence in your world?"

The mage saluted Harry, and then said, "The essence is not in the world, but it is in the world." ”

Everyone in the hall was confused, and saw the mage take out a handful of golden gold from his bosom and say: This is the essence. ”

Then the mage sprinkled the golden sand on the painting, and saw that everything had changed in the painting, and the palace was resplendent and the caliph was tall and handsome, and he was covered in golden light, just as Allah had bestowed his splendor on the emperor of Alpha. ”

"This is the world. ”

When the mage finished speaking, the caliph laughed, and he loudly announced that the winner of the contest was the mage. ”

"This is the first fight of the caliph to welcome visitors from afar, the little mage and the old mage. ”

......

The old man's story was told for a long time, and he even left Magellan for lunch, and it was not until the evening that Magellan returned to his lodgings.

He found the mage leader and said to him with a smile, "Tomorrow we will go and get the key." ”

The mage was confused, but when he asked what was going on, Magellan just smiled and said nothing. So this night the mage suffered a rare insomnia.

In the morning, before the sun had risen, the mage leader got up and began to clean up, and then waited outside Magellan's room.

However, they still waited until the sun rose before setting off, because if it was too cold, they were not afraid to enter the water, and it would be miserable to come out of the water.

When he got to the water's edge, Magellan, as he had done the previous times, took his things and went into the water.

He went straight to the gate, through the palace, and to the turntable.

The old man's story has already made it clear that in the mage lord's worldview, from the outside to the inside are the four elements of wind, water, earth, and fire, corresponding to the four colors of white, green, yellow, and red, and the four animals of birds, fish, turtles, and lizards, which are the sixteen squares on the turntable.

Magellan glanced at the turntable and knew the correct answer. But when he put his hand on the turntable and turned the ring, Magellan noticed that something was wrong.

The color in the grid on the turntable is separate from the pattern on it. The color is underneath, and the pattern is made of wire, which can be rotated separately on top of the turntable.

In this way, the four patterns of one ring became sixteen.

Magellan thought it was strange, but he didn't know why, and he had no idea what to think, so he had to give up.

Following the answer in that story, Magellan turned the ring so that the pattern became the one the mage lord had said, arranging the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.
