Neal lay on a large tree branch and excitedly opened the magic book that contained magic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This book is now the most precious treasure in the world in Neil's eyes. All the other books combined are not as good as this one.

Turning the first page, what catches my eye is a dense patch of spells, actually written in Elven language.

Elven is originally a common language used by mages, and it should be said that it is a compulsory course for every mage.

As it happens, Elvish was the first language Neil learned in this world, just like his native language. Although the old man later asked him not to use Elven language to talk in front of others, he was still very proficient in Elven language. After all, he is a native language, and even if he hasn't used it for nearly ten years, he is still extremely proficient.

"It's a set of meditation rules, it's ・・・・・・"

Neil read the magic spells slowly. Although Neil is very proficient in Elven language, these spells use very quirky vocabulary and grammar, and Neil is very difficult to read.

However, as long as there is a strong interest, anything can be intoxicating. Moreover, Neil's current mental power is very powerful, and he can almost feel the amount of dust within ten meters around him, which can at least be included in the scope of superpowers on the earth.

Time passed like this, and I kept running forward day by day, without stopping for a moment.

There is an interesting episode in which Neil is so fascinated by magic that he reads a book in the tree for three days and returns to the treehouse to rest. When he returned to the treehouse, he found William Merlin still lying there, babbling about his mouth, much to Neil's regret.

However, William Merlin was a man of all kinds, and instead of running away, he regained his energy a few days later. Ever since Neil started learning magic, he knew the difficulties and couldn't help but admire this guy from the bottom of his heart. If he met the old man to treat him like this, he was not sure what he would choose.

Five years have passed in a flash.

Before they knew it, Neil and the old man had been living in the Forest of Despair for five years. As for William, he went back half a year ago. Actually, he didn't want to leave, but he was almost fifteen years old, and the Merlin family's coming-of-age ceremony was ten to five years old, and he could participate in it for any year. Moreover, as a custom that has been passed down for I don't know how many years, it is a must for every child of the Merlin family to participate. Thinking of the way that guy left, Neil was really a little reluctant.

Five years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

Five years is enough for a teenager to grow up thoroughly. Whether it's Neil or William Merlin, they're no longer the teenagers they used to be.

In the Forest of Despair, on an artificially carved improvised training ground.

"Roar!"

Bursts of tiger roars reverberated back and forth on the training ground. It was the Frost Tiger King lying on his stomach and watching. Without his supervision, these demonic beasts captured by him would have run away long ago.

A long-haired young man, dressed in a shabby robe, quickly retreated as he chanted a spell.

It's a long time, but in fact, it's just a short moment, three fireballs in a row, straight to the three ice armor snakes on the opposite side.

However, the Ice Armor Snake is also the best of the fourth-level demonic beasts, how can it be solved by a few fireball techniques. Those three fireballs flew over, and the three ice armor snakes didn't bother to dodge, and this bit of damage was not a threat at all.

However, Neil is no longer a weak chicken boy who doesn't know anything, and five years of combat experience have already given him a deep understanding of combat. As you can see from the mobile casting, this is not a simple trick, although the average master will do this, but there are still many mages who will not be able to do it for the rest of their lives.

As soon as the three ice serpents burst out of the flames, they immediately fell into the next magic. Although the fireball technique can't do any damage to the Ice Snake, it can block the view after all.

As soon as they wanted to charge, they found that their bodies couldn't move, and the vines were wrapped around their bodies.

A first-level wood-based spell, the vine of bondage.

Of course, as soon as the three ice armor snakes struggled hard, the vines shattered to the ground, but they had been delayed for nearly three seconds. Another of Neil's spells is ready.

Level 1 dark magic, dark illusion.

As a first-level illusion, although the dark illusion is not lethal at all, the effect is still good, at least, it can delay for five seconds. Of course, this is only useful for these low-level monsters whose minds are not very mature, and if you use them on the same target several times in a row, it will most likely fail.

Five seconds is enough, though.

The spirit is boiling!

The Traces of Life's natural spells!Increases mental power by two times in a short period of time!

10 seconds!A first-level earth-based spell that creates sand and gravel. In a small area, a sandy area is formed. This range is really not large, ten square meters. However, I can't bear the large number of them. With his super spiritual power, and the traces of life in his mental space, that is, the bonus effect of spiritual boiling, Neil forcibly released three creation sand stones in one second. The sand formed by the three spells can be more than thirty square meters.

7 seconds!

Two first-level water spells, water balloon. Of course, these two water polo spells could not have been released against those three ice armor snakes. Not to mention the Ice Snake's Ice Armor's resistance to water and ice magic, even if it didn't have armor, the Water Ball Technique would not be able to inflict fatal injuries on the Ice Snake.

These two water polo spells consumed a lot of Neil's mana, and the volume was much larger than that of ordinary water polo techniques. It landed straight in the sand before, and a quagmire took shape in an instant.

At this time, the ice armor snake, which had just woken up from the hallucination, fell directly into the quagmire. And because of the panic at the beginning, it was not shallow. However, it was only a matter of seconds for them to break free from the quagmire.

5 seconds!

Neil roared, and the side effects of his mental boiling made his head crack. In the full state, he can only maintain his mental boiling for ten seconds now, and it has taken five seconds. The remaining five seconds will determine the success or failure of his battle!

No, a second, to be exact. Because...

The magic is boiling!

The talent spell possessed by the second trace of life!In a short period of time, awaken the surrounding magic elements, and all the surrounding magic elements are boiling!

"L'ihtmar'ee!"

A thick bolt of lightning formed in Neil's hand, heading straight for the three ice-armored snakes.

Level 1 lightning magic, thunder and lightning. However, under the double amplification of spiritual boiling and magical power boiling, the power is no weaker than the power of third-level spells. After all, lightning magic is known for its destructive power.

Originally, the Ice Armor Snake had a relatively poor magic resistance to the thunder system, but now it is in a muddy pool, and the damage caused by thunder and lightning is very considerable. A scorching smell came, and the three ice armor snakes completely lost their combat effectiveness, lying in the mire and convulsing.

At this time, Neil also completely fell to the side.

The overdraft of his spiritual power made his spiritual world chaotic. Even, cracks appeared. Although his mental power was very strong, such a consumption still made him have to lie down for at least a day. As for why he had suffered such a heavy mental trauma, he was able to recover after only lying down for a day, thanks to the World Tree seedling that grew in his spiritual space. Once Neil's mental space is traumatized, the seedlings will emit soft light, allowing Neil's spiritual world to be quickly repaired.

However, the old man did not intend to let Neil lie down for a day.

Time is running out.

The old man opened a reagent bottle and poured it into Neil's mouth. Neil felt his spirit recovering at an alarming rate. In just a few breaths, he had already recovered a small half of his mental strength.

"What kind of potion is this, old man? Give me a thousand or two thousand bottles. ”

The old man slapped Neil on the head, "One or two thousand bottles, you think it's in the river! This potion is called the Goddess's Gift, and I wrote down the specific recipe in that notebook." If you practice for another one or two hundred years, with your alchemy talent, you should be able to configure it. After speaking, he reluctantly looked at the empty bottle in his hand.

"I only have the last bottle, and it's hard to find. ”

"Oh, it's okay! With Uncle Neil's talent, where can I use it for hundreds of years. Give me ten years to drink as much as you want. ”

I have to say that after five years of getting along, Neil's personality is indeed a lot more cheerful. I've lived with William for a long time, and occasionally brag about it in that guy's tone.

I don't know why, the old man suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong? old man. Did that William finish the wine he left for you?"

"I'm leaving, Neil. ”

"Where's it going? Take me with you. ”

"No, this place is for the elderly. You're still young... yes, you're still so young. You're the most talented I've ever seen..."

"What the hell is going on?"

Looking at the serious expression on the old man's face, a thick sense of uneasiness became heavier and heavier in his heart. The uneasiness of five years ago has also awakened again.

The old man didn't answer Neil, but just muttered to himself, "You're still so young...

When Neil heard this, tears rolled out of his eyes. Looking at the old man's old face, he already understood what the old man meant. Finally, has it come to this day? Looking at the old man's old appearance that had never changed over the years, he thought that the old man would always accompany him like this. Thinking of the bits and pieces with the old man, the tears are more and more, and I can't stop it.

Who said that men don't shed tears, but it's not time to be sad.

"Okay, don't cry. You are the king of the future, the king destined to be alone. I have lived for more than 6,000 years, and it is long overdue to return to nature. ”

"I'm sure you've discovered the meaning of your name. Yes, you have the noblest blood of the elves in you, and you will be the new king - this is also the prophecy of Eldem, the elven high priest of the thirteenth and fortieth generation, and my soul will follow you and bear witness to all your legends and glory. ”

After the old man's words, Neil felt as if something was more on his body. I can't see or touch it, but I can really feel it. This should be the soul of the old man, and the old man will always be by my side.

"Grandpa..."

Neil couldn't say anything else, and he couldn't spit out a thousand words in his heart. He just lay on the old man's body tightly and began to cry. It is impossible not to cry, this is his only relative in the world and the guide of his path.

"Alright, it's time. The rest of the way, you're left alone・・・・・・"

As soon as he finished speaking, Neil felt empty under him, and the old man dissipated into the forest wind of the Forest of Despair.

Back to nature?

Don't worry, old man. I'll do what we agreed and then, I'll come back here.

Wait for me!

"Boy!"

"Ahh

"Stinky boy, I kindly left my baby to you, and you just told me this? Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is gone, don't care about you・・・・・・"

Listening to the voice of the old man that gradually dissipated, I could no longer feel the breath of the old man. Neil knew that the old man was gone, really gone.

Picked up the old man's ring on the ground, and took out a bottle of wine that the old man had not finished drinking. said hello to Xiaobai, and lay directly on the ground, looking at the quiet moon in the sky.

Xiaobai is the name Neil gave to the Frost Tiger King, although the Frost Tiger King strongly objected, but in the end it was decided. Xiaobai gradually shrunk his body, which is a magic that all legendary monsters do, and lay beside Neil, like a quiet kitten.

He can understand Neil's inner pain, and the years of living together in the past few years have made him completely accept Neil's identity as the master. In fact, he is also very grateful to the old man, and the old man's advice from time to time has benefited him a lot. In five years, he has reached the middle level of the Legend from the Beginner Rank of the Legend, and he is only one step away from the Rank of the Legend.

You know, he is the Frost Tiger King, a legendary magical beast with a lifespan of at least two thousand years. It had taken him more than six hundred years to reach the first level of legend. To get such a high promotion in five years was something he had never dared to imagine before. Moreover, he believed the old man's words, and with Neil, no one could predict what heights he would reach in the future.

Under the white moonlight, a black-haired teenager and a white kitten quietly listened to the whisper of the wind.

It is because of unforgettable concern that people can grow.

It is because of the unforgettable past that tomorrow will be even better.

The night grew more and more silent.
