Chapter 149: Source
Ling Chen stood in the middle of the tower, although the terrain of Lavosa was not high, but this tower stood in the clouds, remembering the first time he admired the city from afar, he had noticed this place, and he really did not expect that he would be able to come here one day. The breeze blew Ling Chen's swing, Ling Chen took a few steps forward and stood on the edge of the tower platform, looking down at the wind whistling around, his feet were slightly weak, he didn't want Lu Fei to be such a powerful magician, and he didn't have the vigorous skills of a werewolf catman, if he fell from here, he would probably fall to pieces. After taking a few breaths of cool air, he retracted his body, and turned to look at the original purpose of coming here, on the magic platform, the black stone was spinning in the air, and even Ling Chen, a mortal who didn't know magic, could see the flow of magic. A few magicians around the magic table kept supplying magic, exploring the stone little by little.
Ling Chen narrowed his eyes, took a few steps forward, and looked up at the Philosopher's Stone.
"Do you feel that this stone is ...... compared to the previous ones?"
"It's a lot bigger. Ling Chen coldly asserted.
"And mine, it's weird that it's shrinking all the time!" said Lufel, looking at the connected stones on his chest.
"It's not surprising, one is constantly absorbing energy, the other is constantly releasing it. With such a magic array supporting, and so many magicians providing it with magical power, it will naturally become bigger!"
Saladmo came over with a male elf: "Here you are. β
Lu Fei glanced at the male elf and bowed his head slightly: "Teacher." β
Ling Chen looked at the male elf, since Lu Fei called him a teacher, then his identity and ability had already been explained.
Lufel turned to Ling Chen and introduced, "This is the Great Magus, the Sky Elf Alan Al. β
Ling Chen's eyebrows jumped slightly, the surnames of elves are varied, but the surname Al is extremely familiar to the people of Resnot, Snowal is the name of the capital of Resnot, and it is also the name of the first queen of Resnot. Al is the queen's surname.
"How many times are you Resnott?"
Ling Chen didn't answer his question immediately, how could he say that he was the king of Resnot, and it was really a little disrespectful to be asked like this.
"Snowal, it's my sister, and I'm curious how many generations her descendants are now. Seeing Ling Chen's dissatisfaction, Ellen Al explained.
"V. β
"The lifespan of human beings is really short, and I can't imagine that we have reached the fifth generation. Alan sighed a little wistfully.
"Yes, it's just that the shorter the life, the more the short life is cherished, so I hope to use the short life to rub the brilliant sparks, are you right?" Ling Chen looked at Ailan: "Should I call you an old ancestor?"
"The bloodline of the fifth generation, even if there is indeed something the same in our blood, it is only a minimal, you are the king of Resnot, and I am only a saint of the Vic Sanctuary. β
The two looked at each other, as if speculating on each other. Lu Feier interrupted the two: "The Philosopher's Stone has always been the teacher in charge of research. β
"I heard that the situation doesn't seem to be very good, huh?"
Ailan glanced at the necklace around Lufel's neck, his eyes were sharp but he didn't say much: "Please come with me, two of you." β
Following Ailan into a special room, Lufel frowned: "Teacher, why do you want to come here?"
Ling Chen looked around, it seemed to be just an ordinary room: "Is there anything strange here?"
"The walls and doors of this room are made of special stones, and the most powerful thing about these materials is that they seal the demons, where no magic can be released, and no magic from the outside can circulate. β
"It seems...... It's a little inconsistent with the rumors!" Ling Chen said as he looked at Ailan.
Ailan's face didn't change much: "Even a person like you who doesn't know magic can discover the mystery of this stone, how can I not detect it?"
"I just stumbled into it. I don't know why. β
Alan took a box from the desk drawer in the room and opened it, revealing a stone in the box. Ailan had any scruples, and directly picked up the stone with his hand: "Philosopher's Stone, this name is indeed very appropriate. The simplest function of this stone is to store magic and then supply it to others. It's just that it can store a lot of magic. It should be said that it is the crystallization of magic in itself. β
"I can understand that orcs don't understand that magic can cause mutations, but why do magicians lose their minds?"
"For magicians, mental power is inherently connected with magic. Ailan took the stone and explained: "And when the massive, even far more than its own magic power, is suddenly injected into the body of the magician, the spirit will naturally assimilate with the magic power, and at that moment, it will merge with the magic stone, and the essential effect of the magic stone, I have already explained, absorb the magic power, store the magic power, and supply the magic power." Such an essence is integrated into the body of the magician, in other words, it pollutes the spirit of the magician, so at that moment, the wise magician, because he wants to absorb the magic power, will become extremely eager for magic, that is, he will become extremely yearning for power, and the supply of magic power is the output of magic in the body, so he will release magic unscrupulously. β
Suddenly enlightened, Ling Chen couldn't help but nodded, and frowned again: "But why doesn't it have any effect on me?"
Looking at Ling Chen, Ailan said, "Because your soul does not belong to this world. Are you satisfied with such an answer?"
"You know!!" Ling Chen's eyes widened, there were only three people in this world who knew his identity, and one had just died not long ago, and it should be said that there were only two people who knew.
"If I can't even see this, I've been studying magic for so long, and I'm studying it in vain!" Ailan said: "If I didn't guess wrong, there should be no magic in your world at all, right?" As I just said, the Philosopher's Stone erodes the spirit, and your spirit is originally a refusal to deny the existence of magic, so naturally it will not be harmed," said Bai Lan and waved his hand: " A lot of psychic magic attacks the spirit because of inner turmoil, and if you deny its existence from the beginning, all psychic magic will have no effect on you!"
The eyes of the two looked at Lu Feier, and Bai Lan said, "I don't think I need to explain the rest to you." β
Ling Chen nodded, the knowledge he wanted to know was already clear: "I'm curious, since you have already figured out the function of this magic stone, why don't you tell the other elves, and still let them continue to channel magic power into the magic stone." β
Bai Lan shook her head: "You are a smart person, you should know what will happen if I announce the matter of the Philosopher's Stone." β
Ling Chen nodded, once he understands its principle, he can follow its principle to control it, once he is mentally prepared, even the orcs who don't know magic will not be as abnormal as before, but such a powerful magic power, falling into the hands of anyone, will give him the power to start a war, once it is made public, not to mention whether there will be disputes within the Vic Sanctuary because of the Philosopher's Stone, the outside world knows that the Oak and the Horry Kingdom in the northeast are very likely to start a war with the Vik Sanctuary in order to snatch the Philosopher's Stoneγ But in fact, they don't have this need at all, the two magic stones were found in their underground, as long as they have the heart, are they afraid that they won't be able to dig it?
Bai Lan threw the magic stone in her hand to Ling Chen: "The exploration of this stone has been completed, you can leave." β
Ling Chen looked at him and frowned slightly: "I'm curious, you seem to be different from those fanatical believers. β
Bai Lan sat in a chair: "Whether it is faith or desire, in the final analysis, it is all spiritual fluctuations, and spiritual fluctuations always have ups and downs, I began to believe in Vic when I was ten years old, and when I was twenty years old, I would go on a pilgrimage to the temple every day, and it lasted until I was two hundred years old, and I began to get a little tired of it. And when you get it for a long time, your firm faith will become weak, and your strong interest will become boring, and maybe Vic will leave this world because she is just bored with this world. β
"It seems that from the bottom of your heart, you still believe in Vic's existence!"
"I don't care if Vic falls to the ground or not, what will happen to the world when it falls, whether it will be destroyed or if it continues like this, I'm not interested anymore, investigating this stone is just my job. Bai Lan sat on the chair: "So, I don't have the slightest interest in what you want to do, as long as you don't disturb my peaceful life, do you understand?"
Ling Chen nodded: "I'll pay attention." β
Leaving the room with Lufel and coming to the magic table, Saladmo waited for them and walked up to the two: "Divine servant, if you want me to prepare a magician, I have probably already found a good candidate." β
Lu Feier nodded: "In short, you have full authority to handle this matter, and Ling Chen said before, the overseas mission in the east should start preparing in advance." β
"I've already ordered it to go down, but now there is too little information about the eastern continent, and we don't know how much it will be......"
"The more the merrier, we don't have much time. Ling Chen said.
Lufel looked up at the stone on the magic table: "This stone, we are going to take it!"
"But the research on the stone is not over yet!"
"No need!" said Lufel, "this stone is all around us, and it is worth it more than here!"
