Chapter 10: The Mysterious Ancestral Land
The next day, in Mark's room, Mark sat face to face with Shirley. The pen www.biquge.info took a deep breath, and Mark said to Shirley: "Shirley, my brother is not allowed to tell anyone about this matter that I told you today, understand?"
Looking at her brother's serious expression, Shirley knew that the matter was a little serious, and nodded: "En!"
Mark stretched out a right hand and waved it in the air a few times, drawing a rudimentary rune: "Go-"
This faint rune immediately broke out of his control and flew into Shirley's body, this is a non-attribute rune in the "Five Elements Witch Book" that he learned in the car this afternoon, which is to detect the affinity of the five elements element.
In less than a minute, Mark was surprised to find that Shirley's body was covered with blue water elements, absorbing more and more water like a sponge, and getting thicker and thicker. The pale blue glow reflected the room as blue.
"Brother-this-what's going on?" Shirley panicked as she looked at this strange situation.
With a wave of his hand, Mark removed the rune, and the water elemental dispersed like a bird and beast, and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye. He glanced at Shirley with a complicated face, this little girl's talent is really jealous, and the affinity for the water element is unimaginable. It's definitely 90%. Mark coughed lightly and calmed down, put his hand into his satchel, took out the "Five Elements Witchcraft" from the acceptance ring, turned to the page of water witchcraft and pushed it to Shirley.
"Look, what can you see?" Mark said softly.
"Huh, what a big drop of water!" Shirley grabbed the Five Elements Witch Book and exclaimed, frowning again: "No, there are a lot of strange symbols in the droplets, these symbols-"
Mark looked at his sister quietly, although he didn't know how high her innate spiritual power was, but it should not be low to be able to sense it so obviously, and he didn't know how long it could last. Seeing my sister devote herself to the book, her face was surprised for a while, puzzled for a while, frowned for a while, and couldn't help but smile happily.
"This is my sister, my own sister!" Mark said to himself.
After more than two hours, Shirley looked up from the book, her face a little pale: "Brother, what are these things? ”
"It's a secret book of witchcraft. After studying this book, you will be able to protect yourself like your brother. Look!" said Mark's hand, from nothing, condensed a small fireball, which was thrown from the window into the yard, burning a wooden bench that Mark usually sat on directly to ashes.
"Ahh Because of her father's early death, she always blamed herself in her young heart for why she wasn't a boy, so that she could share some of the burden for her brother. I am also a member of this family, and I want to support this family with my brother!
"Okay, don't be cranky. Mark patted Shirley's head lightly, although the little girl looked thin, but her little face was round and jade, although she was only twelve years old, she was already a little beauty embryo.
"My brother lent you this book for half a month, and you have to read the first comprehensive part of the book and this little drop of water in this half month, and memorize it in your head. Can you do it?"
Half a month, just remembering it is already a challenge for Shirley, with good innate mental power, plus a terrifying affinity for the water system. Compared to Mark, the speed should be much faster, and the hardest thing is to condense it in my mind. Like the fire system that Mark practiced, the small water droplets of the water system were formed from five thousand and twenty-four water runes. It's not an overnight thing to keep such a huge amount in your mind.
"Yes! sure!" Shirley smiled mischievously, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, "Brother, then I'll go back to my room." ”
The next half a month Mark spent in uninterrupted cultivation, practicing "Na Qi Decision" in the morning, practicing fire exercises in the afternoon, and practicing "The Way of Destruction" in the evening except for a nap in the second half of the night, after all, this is his foundation. As for Shirley, Mark hasn't seen her at all in the past half a month. Nestled in the room all day, so that the mother kept complaining, before it was just a child lying in bed, now both children are like this, if it weren't for Mark bringing a large amount of belongings home, it is estimated that the mother would be furious.
Half a month came soon, Shirley didn't come over to return the book as agreed, and Mark was not in a hurry, there were still about seven or eight days. After half a month of cultivation, sorting and induction, Mark's strength has greatly improved compared to before.
First of all, Mark easily became a level 7 warrior, and secondly, he had mastered some of the auxiliary magic in "The Way of Destruction" and could already use it with ease. For example, the Weakness Technique, the Group Weakness Technique, the Slowdown Spell, the Strengthening Rune, etc., and in the process of condensing the Demon Imp, I comprehended one of the Demon Imp's skills: Smoke Escape.
After half a month of hard work, coupled with the effect of ten bottles of meditation potion, Mark was pleasantly surprised to find that his spiritual power had broken through to 8 points. It is getting more and more difficult to improve mental power, and Mark estimates that even if all the remaining seventeen bottles of meditation potion are used, it will be God's favor to break through to 9 o'clock in mental power.
Time flies in sleep and cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, it is about to be the day when he and the tower make an appointment to leave, on this day, Mark came to his mother's room, and told Bai Lu the news that the mayor of Moss Town personally introduced and asked Mark to go to the royal capital warrior academy to study, and Bai Lu was very happy and supportive when he heard it.
Just as Mark was about to leave, Bai Lu suddenly called out to Mark. She looked at Mark lovingly and said:
"Originally, I didn't tell you about this until you were eighteen, but since you're leaving, I don't know how long it will take to return, so I'll tell you in advance. ”
As he spoke, Bai Lu took out an old box from under the bed, opened it, took out a rectangular metal square from the mezzanine at the bottom of the box, and cautiously handed it to Mark:
"When the men in black stormed our house ten years ago, your father knew that this time there was no escape, so he gave me this in advance, and told me to let you go to the ancestral house alone with this token when you were eighteen years old. ”
Mark was stunned: "The ancestral house? is the ancestral house that no one has entered for I don't know how many years?"
Bai Lu nodded: "I don't know what is inside, I only know that every generation of the Sai'an family patriarch will go in with this token once." ”
Mark nodded, and took the token suspiciously, but the seemingly fluttering token was quite heavy in his hand. I don't know what kind of material it is. Mark briefly glanced at the token and exited his mother's room. Go straight to the ancestral house on the backmost hill of Angli Village.
There are no houses around the ancestral house, the ancient trees are towering, and seven or eight people can't hold them, and I don't know how many years they have existed. The strange metal door closed tightly, and Mark inserted the token into a crack next to the door, and soon the door opened with a creak, and a strong musty smell wafted from the room.
Walking gently into this strange ancestral house, a sense of decay and age came to his face, giving Mark a feeling of entering a thousand-year-old tomb. The walls are covered with a series of frescoes painted in bright colors, which have not faded for countless years.
This series of murals seems to show the rise of a family step by step, until the second one is a huge sphere exploding, and countless powerful people are wiped out. As for the last one, Mark could only see an incomparably large wreck in the Endless Universe, presumably left behind by the explosion of the huge sphere, and in the center of this wreckage, a nine-story hexagonal tall building stood out in the mural. In such a violent explosion, this tall building actually stood on top of the wreckage without the slightest damage.
Walking past the mural, Mark came to a statue that was five or six meters high, a humanoid creature with two golden horns on its head, and it was clearly not a Terran. Below the statue is a crystal clear jade plaque with a few lines of words carved on it:
Carlisle Thean, the ancestor of the Saan family, the Golden Horn Terres, the Ruler of Time, and the greatest leader of the Celestial World, died in the first year of the Holocaust!
"The ancestor of the Sai'an family is actually not a human race!"
Mark couldn't help but be stunned, and then he found a line of words under the jade plaque: "The descendants of the Sai'an family are here, dripping blood on the jade plaque." ”
Mark hesitated, but thought that although he was reborn, the bloodline should naturally still be the bloodline of the Sai'an family, so he was slightly excited and dripped a drop of blood on the jade plate.
A white light flashed, and a vague figure suddenly floated out of the jade plate, and the figure was also like the statue, with two golden horns on its head. He glanced at Mark, shook his head slightly, and said:
"The bloodline of my clan has been inferior to the generation from generation to generation, and now the golden horn has degenerated, and I don't know when we will be able to usher in a talented demon generation and reproduce the prestige of my Sai'an family's time controller!"
"Time Master?" Mark asked curiously.
"Time Master! Time and space are the two most difficult rules in the universe to master, and my Sai'an family has the talent to easily control the rules of time!
The figure paused, looked at Mark again, and said: "You must go to the location shown in the last mural, use this token to enter the Hexagonal Building, and find a way to pass the test step by step, as for how far you can go, it depends on your creation!"
Mark's heart moved, this is a good thing, and he quickly asked, "Where is that place?"
"That place is called the Catastrophe Battlefield, it is extremely dangerous, even if the Universe Overlord enters, it is ten deaths, and now that an era has passed, I don't know what is happening now, but don't think about going in and dying if you don't reach the Universe Overlord level!"
"Universe Overlord?" Mark's heart moved, remembering what Su'er had said that when he reached the Universe Overlord level, he could go to her, and hurriedly asked, "What level is the Universe Overlord?"
"Creatures are at the ordinary level from level one to three, no different from ants, and level four to level six are at the world domination level, which is already slightly powerful, and when you advance to level seven and become a level seven creature, it is the level of cosmic overlord!"
"Level seven?" Mark said tentatively, "Is it difficult to reach level seven?"
"It's difficult! Billions of creatures may not be able to produce one! How difficult do you say?" the figure said here and looked at Mark: "No matter what, as the descendant of this generation of the Sai'an family, you have to take up this mission! Let the prestige of the Sai'an family's time controller be restored to the world!"
"Yes!" Mark bowed.
"Hum-" Suddenly a white light shot from the phantom's hand towards Mark, and Mark only felt a shock all over his body, and a soft warmth surrounded him, making him feel very comfortable.
It didn't take long for the white light to disappear, and the phantom said: "I have awakened the first bloodline for you, the bloodline of the time controller can be awakened a total of ten times, and the next nine times will be carried out in the Liufang Building!"
"Thank you, but I don't feel the same way!" Mark said strangely.
"Hahaha-" Phantom suddenly laughed, "This is a talent for perceiving rules, you are so weak that you can't feel the essence of the rules at all, how can there be changes? But you have to remember that this is a talent that countless powerful people in the universe desire but cannot obtain, and it is best not to expose this talent of yours until you have the ability to protect yourself. ”
"Go!" the phantom said, turning into a cloud of smoke and burrowing into the jade plaque.
Mark was stunned, he thought there would be something good, but he didn't want to have nothing, but when he thought about it, it was clear that if there were such obvious benefits, the Saian family would not have fallen to such a point.
Turning to leave the ancestral house, Mark put away the token, shook his head and stopped thinking about what happened in the ancestral house, and began to think about the trip to the royal capital.
The next day, as it was getting dark, Mark got up and packed his clothes, and had to bring at least three sets of clothes, one wash and one change, and another set to spare. It's just this outfit--, Mark looked at the gorgeous outfit that suddenly appeared on his body in the cave that day, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. Just by looking at the countless intricate and unknown gems set on this garment, he could hardly imagine how precious it must be. This outfit, as well as this hosta, must be carried!
You also have to bring your usual shoulder bag, and you have to get used to it, you have to bring some gold coins, a penny is hard to beat the hero, and you have to bring some of the bread baked by your mother, and it is impossible to be so convenient on the road at any time......
"Brother-" Shirley's haggard voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Yes!" Mark smiled and turned around to look at his sister with two panda eyes open, and smiled, "How is it?
"Of course!" Shirley proudly shook the Five Elements Witch Book in her hand, "It's a little harder than I thought, so it's a few days late." But I also learned a few gadgets, hee-hee. ”
As she spoke, Shirley flicked her hand, and a small drop of water flew out of her hand, "poof-" with a sound, penetrating the table next to her, falling on the wooden floor, and shooting deeply, Mark's spiritual power swept down, and it was already more than two meters deep underground. He looked at Shirley in amazement, marveling at her manipulation of the water element.
Seeing her brother's surprised expression, Shirley was very happy, she waved her hand again, her hands danced in the air a few times, a water pattern that could not be seen by the naked eye floated on her body, feeling the magic fluctuations on her body, Mark was stunned and asked:
"What kind of spell is this?"
"How about a water curtain that automatically resists all melee attacks?" Shirley raised her proud little head and looked at her brother triumphantly.
"This-" Mark's eyes widened, how long had it been? How terrifying is Shirley's talent?!
"Is this-this-this?"
Mark was completely defeated by his sister's demonic qualifications, but maybe only in this way could he go to the royal capital with peace of mind. When he settled down in the royal capital, he took his mother and sister over. It shouldn't be difficult to advance to the rank of official wizard with Shirley's qualifications, and maybe even faster than Mark.
Putting away the "Secret Book of the Five Elements", Mark and Shirley had a deep talk, and in Shirley's red eyes, he stepped into the carriage sent by the iron tower and walked away.
"Brother, you promised me that when I become an official wizard, I can go to you!" Shirley muttered to herself, holding a necklace of beast teeth where Mark had performed witchcraft, staring blankly at the direction in which the carriage had disappeared, and remained unmoved for a long time.
The carriage walked slowly along the rugged mountain road, getting farther and farther away from the village of Angri, and no one except his mother and Shirley knew that Mark was going to the Royal Capital Warrior Academy. Having lived in this village for more than half a year, Mark actually didn't have much interaction with the people in the village. The only thing that makes him nostalgic here are his two closest relatives. Hardworking mother and well-behaved sister, but now that her mother doesn't need to work so hard, Mark left tens of thousands of gold coins for the family, enough for her mother and sister to live for many years. Mark asked his mother to share the remaining medicinal herbs in the family with the rest of the village, and he didn't need that much.
Touching the Legendary Ring on his left hand, there were more than 300 bottles of strengthening potions and more than 50 bottles of healing potions, and there were even intermediate healing potions diluted by one to one thousand healing potions. Mark identified it as weaker than the primary healing potion, but much stronger than the healing potion. Mark gave it a name, a secondary healing potion. In addition to filling a dozen bottles, the rest was kept in the Ring of Legends in two porcelain jars.
With curiosity about the other world, with good expectations and wishes, and with infinite longing for the future, Mark embarks on his path as a wizard.
