Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 9 The Elements
Early the next morning, Chris was woken up by the magic clock, hurriedly washed, went to the cafeteria to eat, changed into a new magic freshman uniform, and arrived in the first year of the magic department. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The full name of Lantis is "Lantis School of Magic", but in fact, it is divided into three types: magic, samurai, and alchemy.
The magic system can be divided into mages and warlocks, in battle, the former pursues great lethality, and the latter pursues strong control and support.
The samurai are divided into warriors and thieves, and if you go deeper, you can also divide them into archers and assassins, warriors pursue strong flesh and invincible strength, the latter emphasizes stealth and instant explosion of one-hit kills, or pursues various traps.
Alchemy, the vast majority of them are actually the original pursuit of magic, but they are not talented enough, they can only rely on external forces to release magic, perhaps their status is not as high as magicians in general, but alchemy is essential, such as the magic clock that is common in daily life, and the magic potions they make will always be a necessary item for magicians to pursue.
This world is composed of the six elements of air, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind, so the Department of Magic also has these six classes, but today is the first day of enrollment for new students, and all the new magicians are gathered in a large hall.
There were too many people, Chris walked in through the back door, the auditorium was noisy, and he found a seat in the back row, although they were all teenagers, but Chris noticed that they were still faintly divided into two circles: nobles and commoners.
There was a man sitting beside him, with a soft scent of grass, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, followed by a boy of about the same age, both of whom had a little curiosity and fear of life on their faces.
As soon as the boy sat down, he said, "There are a lot of people." β
The girl nodded, looked around a little uneasily, looked at Chris, nodded, and Chriss, who smiled in return.
After a while, the professor walked in, and stood on the podium, but it was a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen, with golden hair, and a bright face, although she was wearing the uniform of a senior teacher of Ransti College, but her chest was high, and the auditorium was immediately silent, and some even gasped.
The woman spoke: "I'm the deputy director of the first-year magic department, Kerber, and welcome all the rookies here. β
There was silence in the classroom.
Professor Kerber added, "In the next three years, you will all study at Lantis Academy, andβ" she smiled, "If you don't become a fourth-level magician in the semester assessment in three years, then..."
Professor Kerber said slowly: "Don't think I'm trying to scare you, you can enter the Lantis Academy, it means that you have a talent for magicians, and you haven't become a fourth-level magician for three years, the only reason is obvious - you don't work hard enough, or- You think that you are a nobleman, and you will inherit your father's title according to the laws of the empire in the future, and become a lord or lord in a corner of the empire, but some of you guys, it is best to dispel this idea as soon as possible, when you are kicked out of the academy by Landis, you will never be able to raise your head in front of people, hum. β
Everyone was stunned and pale.
Kerber continued: "There are no nobles and commoners in Lantis, here, your only identity is a cadet, the difference is between a genius and a fool, but..."
"Landis welcomes private fights, and if you want to settle personal grievances, there are martial arts arenas on the playground, but you are not allowed to deliberately mutilate the other party with a dead hand. β
"Remember? β
Everyone was silent and nodded busily.
Professor Kerber snorted twice, and then said, "You already know your own elemental affinity, and many people still have multi-elemental affinity, so for the rest of today, you need to think carefully about which kind of magic you want to choose to practice. β
Then, with a flick of his golden hair, Kerber simply ran away.
Most of the people in the classroom were still glazed over and in a trance.
Chris is an Earth Elemental Level 5 affinity and an Qi Elemental Affinity Level 6, which is neither high nor low among the students, it can only be regarded as average, but the exaggerated level 10 spiritual power is enough to make him far above others, unless he is too lazy.
In comparison, it doesn't have as high an attack as fire-based spells, it doesn't have as all-encompassing as water-based spells, and it doesn't have as close to nature as wood-based spells, but it has a solid defense that other spell systems don't have, even if it is the ice armor that appears in the post-water spell period, in short, it's a spell system with offense and defense.
It is the only spell that allows low-level mages to have the ability to fly, and its attacks are diverse, with attack power only lower than that of fire and air magic.
Air Magic?Defense may be the lowest, but it has a ripple effect that other spells don't have, such as fireball spells in fire spells, single attack magic. And in the qi spell, even if it is the lowest-level lightning falling technique, if the people around the target are too close, it can also be affected, and then, the high-level qi magic after the tenth level is even more difficult to parry.
The most important point is that the magicians of the Tianlan Continent may not know that qi spells have an advantage that is difficult to catch up with other spells - the influence of the environment. Of course, fire spells are easier to cast and more powerful in places with plenty of fire elements, but in places with plenty of water elements, they may be difficult to cast, for the simple reason that there are too few fire elements around. The same is true for water-based spells, not to mention wood-based spells, and air-based spells, the human body naturally carries static electricity, and there is no shortage of air either.
Of course, in the Tianlan Continent, there are several other rare spell systems, such as light spells, and the opposite necromancy spells.
In the seven-hundred-year calendar of the Tianlan Continent, a group of mages appeared, their initial pursuit was only immortality, but by chance, they discovered a spell that could dominate the deceased, this discovery made them ecstatic, they began to study why people have magical talents in the dead, and then, they found that the energy that is free between the body and soul of the dead also has the power of the other five major spell systems, and finally, they can resurrect the dead to do some simple actions, and gradually found that the resurrected dead are not exactly the same, some are just the lowest skeletons, some are zombies with physical bodies, and some will instinctively drive mounts, some of them have the ability to cast magic at the beginning of their resurrection.
The worst thing is that a necromancer can drive hundreds or thousands of dead people according to his own spiritual power, and these dead people fight without pain, do not betray, and are absolutely obedient. Even a small head will bite off the enemy's body, and most importantly, they don't need to spend food at all.
In the seven hundred and thirty-third year of the Tianlan Continent, a war broke out between the Human Empire and the Orc Empire, and at the beginning, the human race was losing one after another, because the flesh of the orc warriors was far more than that of the human warriors, and the ordinary orcs among them were already very human third-level warriors. So, the mages went to the battlefield, but the same kind of mages among the orcs, the priests and shamans, began to collide on the battlefield, and the necromancers among them began to shine, and a few necromancers were enough to wipe out an army of orcs, and thousands of orc warriors fell forever under the skeleton bone knives that they began to disdain.
The war was eventually won by the humans, and the orcs were almost wiped out, leaving only more than 20,000 people to flee to the far north, never to be seen again.
The status of necromancers once reached unprecedented in the human empire, and their research on the dead and souls began to advance by leaps and bounds, in order to obtain a large amount of soul energy, a necromancer named Dayer slaughtered a village of thousands of people, and successfully transformed into a lich, under the pursuit of the imperial army launched a forbidden spell - the undead Scourge, countless dead were awakened, that time, a total of five villages of various sizes were exterminated, including the human warriors of the empire, more than 10,000 people died in this battle.
But that's just the beginning.
The strength of the necromancer has aroused the alarm of humans, and the strength of the transformation into a lich has also aroused the covetousness of the necromancer. Between 740 and 744 years, a total of three necromancers were transformed into lichs, and similarly, their transformations also used a large number of souls as sacrifices, and the way to obtain them was also slaughter. Maybe it's a side effect of transforming into a lich, they have an immortal body and a powerful soul, and they don't take human life into their eyes at all, perhaps, human existence is just a low-level life form for them who are also humans, and they aspire to become a more powerful existence among the deceased - the Lich King, so not long after becoming a lich, they all launched the undead scourge to get more and more powerful soul energy. At that time, the Holy See of Light was also involved in these wars, and people did not expect that the spells used by ordinary priests and bishops in the Holy See who only knew how to pray could cause great harm to these deceased, and the Light Spell became famous on the mainland, and the lich was killed, but millions of people had died in the four years of war. The Holy See of Light has also become the only sect on the continent that can rival the Empire.
Since then, all necromancers have been killed, and no necromancers have been seen on the mainland.
It's just that necromancy uses human soul energy, while light spells use divine power obtained through prayer, which is said to come from the god of light, and none of them belong to the six elemental systems on the continent.
