"Yo, I didn't expect you to be over four hundred years old?"

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Arthur Wang.

After all, this age is really exaggerated enough for goblins and humans.

Arthur Wang said angrily: "What is this? You must know that our elven race will not reach adulthood until it is three hundred years old, and the natural lifespan can reach about 1,500 years. ”

"That's a long enough life." Xia Qi said with some envy.

The maximum natural lifespan of 1,500 years old, that is to say, in the early stage, Arthur Wang can completely save the cost of buying an elixir or extending the life of his subordinates.

But then he thought about it, three hundred years old is only an adult, and the growth rate of this next generation is a little too slow.

If it is a long-term campaign and a large number of casualties occur at the same time, it is estimated that the strength replenishment of the elves will not be able to keep up at all, but will slow down the development of the entire civilization.

Well, that's a balance in disguise.

Subsequently, Xia Qi asked Arthur Wang about some things about the elven civilization.

"The tornado on the battlefield before, is it also the spell of the elven mage?"

"That's a fifth-order hurricane technique." Arthur replied truthfully.

"Hurricane?"

In that decisive battle, at least a quarter of the soldiers killed in his army died under the hurricane technique!

Although with the improvement of ranks, fighting a war has evolved into a large army, often to the point of tens of thousands, but a single blow can wipe out thousands of troops, which is really not to be underestimated.

"Really? So this hurricane spell came from the elven mage? ”

Faced with this question, Arthur Wang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"It's the most important general under my command, Howell."

"Did he do it on his own?"

Xia Qi was shocked in his heart, if this was the case, then that Howell alone would be worth an army of thousands of people.

"Sort of."

"Sort of?"

Obviously, Xia Qi didn't like this kind of ambiguous statement.

"To be precise, the staff in Howell's hand helped him share part of the burden, otherwise he would not have been able to complete the fifth-order spell on his own. But even so, the cost is dearly. ”

Hearing this, Xia Qi nodded with a clear face, and then subconsciously asked.

"How bad?"

"The fifth-order spell is a high-level spell, and casting this spell requires a huge amount of mana as support."

"After only a few seconds of hurricane magic, the mana in Howell's whole body was completely drained, and even the mana stored in the wind system demon core at the top of the staff was also consumed."

In addition, there was also a huge loss of mental power, causing him to faint on the spot. If he wants to fully recover, he will have to recuperate for at least five or six months, maybe even longer. ”

"Mana, will it take that long to recover?"

Once a hurricane is attacked, it takes five or six months to recuperate before it can fully recover, which is indeed a bit long.

Hearing this, Arthur nodded and replied, "Yes." Although the recovery speed is also affected by the elven mage's talent and strength, the recovery rate of mana is indeed slow. ”

"Take the ordinary elven mages in the mage army, for example. The first-order spell Qingfeng Technique, if he casts it three or four times in a row, he will need to recover for at least one night before the consumed mana can be fully recovered. ”

"At the same time, during this period, if the mana and mental power are overdrawn due to the continuous casting of spells, it will take longer to recover."

Arthur Wang's words refreshed Xia Qi's understanding of the profession of mage.

Sure enough, this supernatural power is not something that can be used just by using it.

"In what you just said, you mentioned a wind-based demon core, and this magic core refers to that azure gem?" Xia Qi asked again.

Hearing this, Arthur Wang first pondered for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about how to explain this problem to Xia Qi.

"Does Your Majesty know about Warcraft?"

Xia Qi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Is it the kind in fantasy stories?" ”

"Almost."

Arthur nodded, and then spoke again: "That wind system demon core is actually not a gem, but the source of the power of the demonic beast. ”

"After the mana stored in the demon core is consumed, even if it is not deliberately replenished, as long as it is given enough time, it will absorb the corresponding elemental power around it and recover."

"That's not bad."

Xia Qi was instantly intrigued by this magic core.

"So, do you have a lot of demonic beasts in your elven civilization?"

"Not much."

Arthur shook his head.

"Or very little, because in a strict sense, the existence of demonic beasts far exceeds ordinary beasts, and they can be regarded as high-level lifeforms, and it is not easy for nature to give birth to a high-level lifeform."

"Therefore, Warcraft are relatively rare, and high-level Warcraft are even rarer."

"My sword, the wind-based demon core on the wind's sigh, is the magic core of a third-order demonic beast, and there are only three third-order demon cores like this in the entire elven civilization."

"The best one is on my saber, and the two that are inferior are set in the weapons of my two right-hand men."

With a simple word, Xia Qi had clearly realized the rarity of this magic core.

Arthur Wang's elven civilization, let alone one or two hundred years, has existed, but only three third-order demon cores have been obtained.

That alone says a lot.

"So, the core can unleash spells?"

"It's not that the core can unleash spells, it's that in the process of forging weapons, skilled elven craftsmen enchant the weapons with spell spells. And the existence of the magic core is equivalent to the energy core that drives that spell. ”

"Take myself as an example, I don't have the talent to become a mage myself, let alone a third-order storm technique, even if it's a first-order wind technique, I can't release it."

"But with the Wind Sigh in hand, I only need to trigger the spell above a little to release the third-order storm spell attached to the weapon."

Hearing this, Xia Qi nodded and said, "In other words, as long as there is such a weapon, anyone can release the spell above as long as they trigger the spell?" ”

"No, it also takes a small amount of mana to trigger the spell."

Arthur Wang shook his head and said, "It is impossible for a person with zero mana in his body to trigger any spells. However, mana is simply the elemental power distributed in nature, even if it is an ordinary person, there will be a little bit in the body. ”

In this regard, Xia Qi asked, "Can this be made up for by the cultivation of the day after tomorrow?" ”

"I can't."

Arthur Wang shook his head again and said: "The innate mana in a person's body is closely related to the spiritual power, the stronger the spiritual power, the more mana you will absorb inherently." Only when a certain critical point is exceeded can one sense the elemental power between heaven and earth and enter a meditative state. ”

"In other words, if you don't exceed this critical point, you can't even enter the meditative state, how can you cultivate?"

Constantly sorting out the thoughts in his head, Xia Qi, who gradually became more organized, spoke again.

"So, how do you determine if a person can become a mage?"

"There are a lot of ways, and the easiest way is to test it with a magic crystal that is specially used to sense mana. Hold the magic crystal, if the magic crystal is bright, it means that you have the qualifications to become a mage. If it doesn't shine, it means that he is not qualified to practice spells. ”

As for whether he has the talent of a mage, Xia Qi is quite interested.

"Then do you think it's possible for a Terran to become a mage?"

Hearing this, Arthur Wang couldn't help but be stunned, he really hadn't thought about this before.

After all, there are no humans in his elven civilization, so why is he idle and thinking about this?

Now after thinking about it carefully, Arthur Wang nodded suddenly.

"Theoretically, it should be possible."

Hearing this, Xia Qi's spirits were lifted, if humans could really practice magic, then he could form his own Terran mage army.

After confirming this, he then quickly put the matter of confirming the talent of the Terran mage and forming a mage army on the agenda.

While writing down this arrangement, Xia Qi did not forget to continue to ask questions.

"You said you had a Wind Core. I remember that the spells you elves use seem to be all wind-based. Since there is a wind system, should there be other attributes as well? ”

"There are other attributes, but this attribute is related to physique. Our High Elves and Physique are more affinity with the Wind Element. In comparison, other attributes don't seem to match us, so there have been no elves with other attribute talents. ”

Next, Xia Qi asked Arthur Wang a lot of questions, and Arthur Wang also took the trouble to answer these questions.

Some of this is about elven civilization, and some of them are inconsequential.

For example, Arthur Wang, the name of the game sounds weird.

Another example is why the air in his Elven King City smells so fresh and fresh.

It is said that it is because of the willingness of the large number of trees around the Elven King City, but don't forget that the Great Xia City itself was built next to a large forest.

Although with the continuous development of Great Xia City, many trees in this forest have been cut down.

But Xia Qi remembered that even when he had just migrated to the Great Forest with his tribe, the air was not as fresh as it was now.

Hearing this, Arthur Wang's face suddenly became complicated.

"All of this is because of the Elven Ancient Tree."

"Elven Ancient Tree?"

Arthur nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, please come with me." ”

Regarding the Elven Ancient Tree, Xia Qi was also full of curiosity, so he motioned for Arthur Wang to take the lead, and they went to the Elven Ancient Tree together.

The ancient elven tree in King Arthur's mouth is not in the elven royal city, but is located in a valley not far from the royal city.

The moment he saw the elven ancient tree, Xia Qi was shocked.

It was a towering tree in the truest sense of the word, and its height could only be described as exaggerated.

It's just that the state of this elven ancient tree doesn't look very good, it seems as if it has been cut diagonally by a huge knife, and most of the branches and a small part of the main trunk have been cut off.

As a result, the elven ancient tree, which was supposed to flourish, had withered at this time, and only bare sticks remained.

Name: Elven Ancient Tree

Status: Withered (near-death)

Description: The Elven Ancient Tree is a symbol of the Elven Clan, and only by owning this tree can the entire Elven Clan be truly commanded. At the same time, the branches it produces are also the best material for making magic tools such as staffs.
