Chapter 681: Companionship and Understanding

Through the introduction, Edward learned the names of the two men. The bald-headed elf www.biquge.info Pen "Fun" is called Solas, and the "surface dwarf" is called Varyk.

The group of four chatted with each other as they thought about the Ash Temple, and from the conversation between the three of them, Edward learned about their personalities and origins.

Like most of the dwarves Edward met, Varyk had a sense of joke and humor, but the difference was that the dwarf clearly had a story, having been "invited" by Kassandra to ask about a man named "Hawke".

But it was clear that Varik was loyal to his friends, always cleverly diverting the conversation with jokes at the most crucial moments, while also losing no time in taunting Kassandra. This left Kassandra helpless, and their conversation always ended with Kassandra's complaining snort.

As for Soras, Edward couldn't see through the bald mage who suddenly appeared. On his body, Edward's eyes also became a little bad. He is full of mystery, yet gentle and knowledgeable. He seems to have a lot of experience with the Rift and the Darkspawn, and is always able to call out the names of the weird Darkspawns.

However, Edward did not have any objection to the mysterious bald mage, because he sensed that Solas was not an evil person, after all, everyone has their own secrets, and Edward would not delve into them.

As Kassandra and Varik verbally confront each other, the four of them make their way to the top of the mountain, encountering waves of Darkspawns and closing a small rift.

"Edward, your spells seem to be a little different from many of the mages I've seen. After closing a rift in the mountainside stronghold, Solas finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, "I feel...... Your spells are more casual, yet just right. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Edward, smiling as he put away his two-handed sword.

"For example, with the thorn-like spell you just cast, you seem to be able to control the number and direction of the thorns that come out diagonally, and change depending on the number of nearby enemies. Solas said appreciatively, "Almost no mage can possess such magical control, which requires a very strong consciousness that is far beyond the average person, how do you do it?"

"Also, I've heard of spirit spells, electric spells, fire spells, and ice spells, but I've never seen earth spells and those blue spells, and I'm curious to know where these two spells come from?"

"The most strange thing for me is that you don't have amplification equipment such as a staff, it seems that you rely entirely on your own magic to cast spells, you don't look like a person in your seventies or eighties, how can you increase your magic power to this extent?"

Solas asked a flurry of questions, which also intrigued the other three. In their eyes, Edward, the man who suddenly descended from the sky, was full of mystery and a little out of place with them - whether it was personality, combat skills, or spells.

"Before I answer this question, I would like to ask how your mages here improve their magical powers?" Edward thought for a moment, deciding not to hide it.

"Sleep. Solas said briefly, "We mages are able to enter another world while dreaming and draw spiritual power from it. ”

"I'm different. Edward smiled and said, "The way I improve my mana is through meditation. ”

"Meditation?" the three wondered.

"Yes, meditation. Edward patiently explained, "If you see me coming down from the sky, then I don't have to hide it, I am indeed from another world, and it is not the world that you mages dreamed of. ”

Hearing Edward's confession, the trio reacted in disagreement, with Kassandra frowning, Varik looking indifferent, and Solas looking thoughtful.

"In our world, all mages rely on meditation to improve their magical powers. If the magic of the mages here comes from what you call another world, then ours comes from the world in which we live. ”

"In the world we say we are talking about, there is a lot of magical energy in the air, and we absorb this magic through meditation and gather it into a magic crystal in our head to provide the magic power needed to cast the spell. ”

Edward patiently told the trio, nay, Solas about the origin of the main god's spell system - Kassandra and Varrick, who didn't know magic, had already heard about it.

"That's incisive!" Solas exclaimed after listening to Edward's explanation, "It seems that your magic system is more advanced and theoretical, and it seems that every spell can explain how they are cast, rather than mechanically using proficiency like me. ”

"I possess the power of the earth, dreams, the arcane, the time, and the life elements, the result of long meditation. Edward laughed, "And this green mana that closes the rift is the power of dreams. ”

"And what about that pure white power?" Kassandra asked suddenly, "I remember you also have a pure white spell energy. ”

"This is the power of the Light. Edward raised his left hand and sent out a pure white path of holy light slightly, "Strictly speaking, this is not a mana, but a power of faith. ”

Speaking of this, Edward looked at Kassandra and said, "In my world, there are also Templars, and only those who have the power of the Holy Light can be called Paladins. ”

"Light!" Kassandra's breath began to rapidize, and the word came out of Edward's mouth and into her ears, giving her a very intimate and sacred feeling, "The power of faith?

"Absolutely. "For example, when you fight for faith, your body generates a tremendous amount of motivation, and this motivation is the power of faith. The Light is the product of the power of faith converging into the heart of faith, which is infinitely more powerful than this power. ”

Kassandra had a rare look of envy, and she wanted to have that power, but her personality prevented her from asking any further.

"I felt like I had met an amazing character. "Are you trying to gain our trust by being so honest about your experience?"

"Of course, I can't go back for the time being, and if I want to live here, I must gain your trust. Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "And my fall from the sky is something that many people have seen, so it's better to confess than make you suspicious." ”

"Then you've succeeded. Varik laughed, "At least for me, you succeeded." I just like people like you who are upright, just like me. ”

Solas nodded in agreement, and Kassandra rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed by Varik's shameless statement that he was above board.

Edward smiled slightly, didn't continue, and walked with the others into the guard base on the mountainside.
