Chapter 2: The Elves of the Forest

The old ghost that Veblen thinks about day and night can now be regarded as seeing a living person... Oh no, it's dead!

Although he was white, he could still see his appearance before his death, his expression was blank, he was wearing a long cloak, with a long flowing white beard, and the cloak was really long, covering the ghost's feet (or maybe no feet himself), but it was not in the way at all, because the old ghost was floating lightly in the air.

"I'm amazed that you're here, I haven't seen anyone alive in years. The old ghost tried to show kindness with a smile, but how could the ghost laugh?

Veblen didn't believe a word of the old ghost's words, and presumably he said so to everyone he had killed in his trap.

"What's your name?" asked the old ghost.

"Vebrun. ”

"Oh, Veblen, lucky little one. ”

The old ghost circled around Vebron twice, looked at it for a while, and then floated to the edge of the cave, where he raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked up at the sky, and began to recount the tragic past.

When he is older, he likes to be verbose, and Wiblen only dozes off when he listens to it, and he knows better than the other party about this bit of, and the truth and falsehood are mixed together, just to deceive Veblen, a "stupid but kind" child.

After finally finishing speaking, the old ghost turned his head to stare at Veblen and scratched his head: "By the way, what's your name?"

"Vebrun—' eyelids jumped.

"Oh, Veblen, lucky little one. The old ghost repeated.

"You see, how unfair fate is, Wiblen!" the old ghost looked indignant, "after the fall of the Empire, the world has become more and more chaotic, the good are not rewarded, and the wicked are at large. ”

"In order to protect the people of the northern kingdom, I fought to the death against the invading man-eating tree spirits, and finally ended up with the destruction of the country, and became what I am now. The magicians who sheltered under me did not remember the old kindness, but turned against me and sealed me in this dark cave.

"It's really unfair to you!" Wiblen followed the old ghost's words, struggling for him.

"Yes yes, human beings are ungrateful things, oh, not including you, my child, of course. There are always some kind people like you, which makes the world a little clearer. But the vast majority of people are selfish white-eyed wolves, and I did not hesitate to give up my life for them, and this is the end. Son, tell me, is this the end I deserve, should I be sealed away in this hellish place forever?"

"Absolutely not, you have the right to embrace freedom!"

As long as you can trick the magic, the old ghost can do whatever it wants.

"You're right, you're such a kind child!" the old ghost circled around the boy excitedly, "and will you help me escape from the sea of misery?"

"But I can't do anything?" Wiblen duly expressed his "distress," he said, "I'm just a peasant's child, and I can't beat the terrible gargoyle at the entrance of the cave with neither mighty swordsmanship nor dazzling magic." ”

"It's not a problem, no one is born with everything, and I will teach you how to be the best magician. The old ghost waved his hand disapprovingly, "During my lifetime, I was not only a wise king, but also a teacher who was loved by my students. ”

"If that's the case, I'm willing to help you get out of this place, you're a great hero, you don't deserve this end!" said Wiblen, indignant.

"That's wonderful!" exclaimed the old ghost, excitedly, "by the way, what's your name?"

"Veblen, teacher!" At this moment, Veblen deeply understood a truth: even the greatest people cannot withstand the passage of time, and the old ghost's brain is already watted in the long past.

In any case, Veblen still got his wish to worship the old ghost as a teacher, he went out early and returned late every day, and pushed off all farm work except for the regular delivery of flour, and thus studied magic with the old ghost for three months.

In the past three months, the old ghost has changed from accident to surprise to shock, and finally to complete numbness.

"Oh my God, I swear by Scamman's ancestors, you're the stupidest student I've ever taught!" cried the old ghost in exasperation, impressed by Vebrun's terrible magical talent.

In the past three months, Veblen has only understood a few proper terms, and the rest is ignorant and cannot learn how to learn, and in the end he cannot even activate the most basic chakras, let alone absorb magic power.

Wiblen's talent is naturally not that bad, and this is his intention.

In Eldiwin's Sword, Eldiwin and the old ghost studied magic for three years, just laying the foundation for his later development, and it is only a chance to really soar into the sky, and the old ghost has always taught the most basic things.

Wiblen wasn't content to rest on his laurels.

Aldrich's magic is too complex, with a strict hierarchy and a language for magic. Veblem didn't know what year or month he would have to wait until he laid the foundation, and even if he was diligent and inquisitive and learned all the knowledge, he still couldn't go far on the road of magic, because he was a civilian.

The current magic system was jointly developed by the Seventy-Two Council families and the Crowner, and it is a magic system that belongs to the nobility, and people with noble blood are more likely to be favored by the Door of Hope.

Commoners can't learn magic, but it's not that there have been no commoners learning magic throughout the ages, it's just that they don't have the advantage of bloodline, even if they redouble their efforts, they still can't reach the height of nobility, and the world is so unfair.

But it's not without cheats.

That is the Demon Dao Seal of the Seventy-Two Council Families!

Unique to the Council family, the Demon Seal encompasses the understanding and exploration of magic by generations of holders, as well as the inheritance of the family's unique magic. Each generation of holders will pass on the Demon Dao Seal to the inheritor before death, and the inheritor will learn the knowledge accumulated by the entire family for thousands of years at the moment of obtaining the Demon Dao Seal, as long as he follows the footsteps of his predecessors safely, he is destined to be a great magician, and it is no wonder that the seventy-two families can inherit it for thousands of years without decaying.

Most importantly, in the magic system of the City of Hope, the path of magic comes to an end when it reaches the temple gate. The number of ascending throne steps is limited, that is, there can only be seventy-two great magicians who can reach the throne rank in the Aldrich continent, which is the consensus reached between the seventy-two families and the crown holder in order to consolidate their power and status - those who become thrones can only be the descendants of the seventy-two disciples, and the proof is the Demon Dao Seal.

This is also the reason why the patriarch of the council family will pass on the Demon Dao Seal to the heir when he is about to die. The death of a throne means that there is a vacancy in the throne rank in the City of Hope, and at this time, the successor will hold the certificate, the Demon Dao Seal, and bathe in the blessings left by the family for generations, and cross the boundary to become a throne mage under one person in one fell swoop.

The old ghost was the Scaman King of the North, and his ancestor was one of the seventy-two disciples of the Great Sage, and the Scaman family is now the seventh in the Continental Council.

It was this Demon Path Seal that Vebron coveted, and the old ghost was dead, which meant that the throne belonging to Scaman was vacant. He wanted to trick this Demon Dao Seal from the old ghost, which sounded a little incredible, but it was actually not very difficult to operate.

The Demon Dao Seal is related to the inheritance of the family, although it is precious, but the old ghost has been wiped out, and now his brain is also broken, using his desire to get out of trouble, as long as the method is correct, it is a high probability event to obtain the Demon Dao Seal.

Wiblem pretended to be stupid and had this in mind, if he hadn't been worried that the old ghost would be disappointed and throw him out to feed the gargoyles, he would have behaved even more stupid.

"Your knowledge is so obscure that it takes a lot of effort to understand, let alone apply what you have learned. Wiblen looked frustrated.

"That's just the bare basics, the bare basics!" roared the old ghost.

"Don't worry, I still understand some of what you said, I'm still very young, and I can always learn it in another ten or eight years!"

"I don't want to wait, not for a moment, I'm going to go crazy in this cave sooner or later!"

"That's no way, there's no quick fix in the world. Wiblen looked helpless.

"A quick fix?" the old ghost thought.

"Yes, if you can stuff the knowledge of magic into your brain, you will not have to study hard, and you will naturally save a lot of time. "The fox's tail wags and wagged.

"yes, a quick fix, why didn't I think of that!" the old ghost patted his head, "I think you said that, there really is such a trick to do it"

"Really!" Veblen looked surprised, as if he saw himself holding up a done gesture, showing his glittering white teeth, well, the plan!

"It starts from Aldrich's time, which is the inheritance of the seventy-two disciples......

The old ghost began to fall into memory mode again, and Veblen had to make a look of listening, and finally the old ghost finally recalled, and he looked at Veblen solemnly: "That's the thing, if you get the Demon Dao Seal, even a pig can fly to the sky, and it's not difficult for a stupid boy like you to become a great magician." ”

"But that's the family inheritance, I'm here to help you, how can I covet such a precious thing?" Wiblen refused righteously.

"Scaman has long since disappeared into the dung heap, and I can only have a future if I get out!"

With that, the old ghost pointed at Veblen's head, and the boy felt a tingling pain, and his mind poured into a flood of knowledge. Veblen knew that it was the accumulation of the Scaman family's demonic path for generations, and now that he had obtained it, he really picked up the treasure.

Close your eyes and feel Scamman's thousand-year-old demonic knowledge, it is impossible to digest it immediately, but it is not a big deal to browse, and Vebron also found what he is most interested in in it: the three great magic of Scamman's family!

The Demon Dao Seal has brought a complete cultivation system, from the most basic meditation to the small cycle of magic power of the seven chakras, everything is available, and from then on, Veblen does not need the guidance of the old ghost, and can walk on the path of magic alone with the knowledge in his mind.

"How does it feel. Seeing Veblen wake up, the old ghost asked with concern.

"I seem to have learned a lot of things at once. ”

"Knowledge is only in your head, at best you know that they exist, you can't understand them, and if you want to fully understand them, you have to digest them slowly later. ”

"Well, teacher, I'm tired and want to go back and rest first. Wiblen's face was full of exhaustion.

"Receiving so much knowledge at once will cause great stress to the spirit, and that's all for today, you can go back first. "The old ghost is also rare to be reasonable.

With the old ghost's approval, Vebron whispered goodbye, and he slowly walked out of the cave, walking faster and faster, and when he was almost in the woods, he shouted with joy, and plunged into the woods and ran away quickly.

The old ghost stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the distant figure of Veblen, and did not turn back until he disappeared into the woods, and his wooden face showed a strange look, staring at the gargoyle napping at the entrance of the cave: "He will not come back." ”

The gargoyle yawned and opened his eyes slightly: "Isn't this exactly what you want, the conditions of the gods are extremely harsh, how can you become an excellent carrier without going through some wind and rain?"

Of course I know that, but she can't wait. Looking into the depths of the cave, the old ghost was thoughtful.
