Chapter 29: The Staff of Shira (I)
"See what you want to see. Gilberto? Gilberneon noticed the deep sorrow on his apprentice's face, and asked, "Is this your teacher, who seems to be a solid astrologer, and what is the direction of his studies?" ”
"21-814, 2nd house 1 star 'Sail' and 8th house 14th star 'Lion', gravity and balance. Jonah replied in a low voice, "He's a seventh-level astrologer, just a little bit closer to a master astrologer." ”
The first mentor touched the beard on his chin with interest: "Very few people have done this pair of studies on stars, and I would love to talk to him if possible,...... Wait, what is this. ”
His gaze was fixed on an object in the room, and Jonah couldn't help but look at it, and found that the first mentor was looking at a not-so-striking hardwood staff, with knotted and uneven scars and a rough red crystal inlaid at the top, which the astrologer apprentice was very familiar with, because in a few years, this staff with an illuminated star array would be given to him by Mr. Koshava, who would accompany him to fly away from the astrological tower of the Red Clay Plains and experience the flames of the Cherry Crossing, and at this moment, he was lying quietly in the "Winds of Bactria" Somewhere in a dusty cargo hold, waiting for the owner's touch again,
Gilbernayon had a strange expression on his face, he narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the staff in Jonah's memory fragment, "Why has it changed, but this feeling, it should be right......" The first mentor shook his head hesitantly, and nodded again, "Yes, it's it, I didn't read it wrong......"
"If you're talking about that staff, it's in my hand right now, it's just a simple Illuminated Star Array, and now even the Illuminated Red Crystal is gone, only a wooden rod remains. The astrologer's apprentice put the strangeness of Teacher Koshawar behind him for the time being, and took the initiative to speak, since he came aboard, he had not seen any of his belongings other than the fragments of the nameless book in his personal collection, including staffs, pouches, astrologer badges, and basic habits, but no matter how poor the Stewart brothers and sisters were, they would not have the idea of fighting these things, and the pile of rags that Jonah cherished was actually worth nothing,
"Can you show me. "The first generation of mentors asked,
"Of course, Mentor. Jonah immediately agreed, but quickly grimaced: "It should be on the boat, but I don't know how to get back to the sailboat......"
"No need, as long as you agree. Gilbertnaion stretched out his arm, and when he retracted it, the staff was already in his palm, "Don't forget, your entire sailboat is now within the confines of the Eternal Mirror, where time and space have no meaning, only existence itself. While teaching the apprentice in difficult words, the first instructor looked the ugly staff up and down, and a warm smile gradually spread on his face, making the majestic astrologer look kind.
"It's been a long time, Sila Fina. Gilberto Gilbernay said softly, gently caressing the uneven surface of the staff, revealing an intoxicated look, as if caressing the silky smooth skin on the lover's back,
According to the official books of the Society of Astrologers, the first mentor was a loyal guardian of love, he named the tower of astrology after his lover, and lived in the tower with his partner, loving and harmonious until death, but the knight's novel can be a great book about Gilberneon's love history, the first mentor is the hero of countless lingering love stories, and the beautiful Annicia is just one of the more important lovers in his life, at this time Jonah secretly wondered if this ugly staff was also named after a certain lover,,, of course, it was just speculation, and he would never dare to ask,
Gilbertnaion turned to the astrologer's apprentice, "Do you know Hila Fina. As soon as the inquiry came out, he immediately shook his head: "No, you can't know, her appearance has completely changed, and besides, you are not a very sensitive fellow, if you know about Sheila Fina's past, you will never leave her alone to rot alone in the filthy storeroom." ”
"Yes, you're right, I don't know. "I've been using this staff for years and have never found it...... There's something special about her. ”
"Hehe, her special place, hehehe......" The first mentor savored these words, and couldn't help laughing, full of helplessness and ridicule The laughter made Jonah feel inexplicable, but soon, the chuckle turned into a laugh, and the laughter evolved into a wild laugh, "I didn't find her special, hahaha......" Gilbertnayon bent down with a smile, the dark blue robe fluctuated violently, and even the surrounding space shook, the picture in Jonah's memory shattered into the air, and the pure white heaven and earth were distorted, obviously the mood fluctuations of the Lord of Space made the Mirror of Eternity shake,
Jonah straightened up, holding his breath until the original mentor himself slowly stopped laughing and stood up straight with his stomach clutched, and the commotion in the space subsided, "Okay, now I'll tell you the secret of Silaphina. Gilbert-Neon seemed pleased with Jonah's composure, and he let go of his fingers, and the staff slowly floated between the two, slowly spinning against the background of nothingness.
"You may have heard that there are seven 'Marks of the Gods' in this world, the forgotten objects of the seven main gods, and the seven artifacts with incredible powers. "The first mentor gazed lovingly at the staff in the air," one of the main gods of the Western Continent, the god of writing and painting, is a beautiful, wise, and benevolent woman, who teaches the world to learn to create and appreciate beautiful things, and to fight against the cruel world with the power of love. ”
The astrologer's apprentice was stunned on the spot, unable to believe his ears,
Gilbertnaion smiled, "Yes, this ugly staff, your old friend who has been with you for many years, is the legendary Syracina, I was just twenty years old when I found her at the site of a mountain temple on the western border of Saint-Boren, and it was she who accompanied me through my long youth, enlightened me to learn to look up at the stars, to discover the vast energy of the stars, and to witness the budding and flowering of my love with Annicia. As a result, until the day I founded the Astrologer Society when I was forty years old and gave her to the Society as a token of inheritance, the last time an astrologer came to see her,,, I don't know when, maybe it was more than ten years ago, I asked where Silafina was, the high-ranking figure of the Astrologer Association. The pretentious stinky fart guy didn't know anything, according to him, Sheera Fina was lost in a handover ceremony of the president of the association two hundred years ago, and has never reappeared in the world since, I don't know who put on such a funny coat for her, so that the brilliance of the main god Sheila is covered with dust, unlike the mark of the god of death, Sila Fina will not bring bad luck to the user, why deceive herself like this. ”
The first mentor pointed a finger, and the whole body of the staff shone brightly, the brown wooden shell was instantly covered with cracked lines, and the white light was transmitted from the inside, and as the shell pieces fell, Jonah's jaw also rattled beyond the angle it should be, at this moment, he couldn't believe his eyes,
The broken skin was blown away by the wind, and the staff that had lost its shell had completely lost the twisted outline of the ugly knots, and what swirled in the air was a slender staff with a pure white body and an elegant arc, and the smooth staff had two golden filaments intertwined and gathered at the crescent-shaped symbol of the main god Sirah at the top of the staff, and the translucent crescent moon made of unknown material exuded a soft and divine light, which made people tired and calm,
"How are you, Sila Fena. Gilbertnaion stretched out his right hand, and one of the seven artifacts of continental legend floated like an empathetic lover to the old lord hundreds of years ago, gently resting in the palm of his hand,
The astrologer apprentice had an untimely thought at this moment: it turned out that the first mentor was a complete white master, a white mysterious space, a white astrology tower, and a white staff.
"She's no ordinary weapon. Gilbertnaion spoke, "You should understand that the seven Seals of the Gods each have extremely powerful abilities, and the seven Engraved Weapons are gathered in one place, which has the ultimate power to break through the barriers of time and space and restore the order of the plane,,, of course, that is just an ancient legend, since no one person or a country can collect seven artifacts ,,, have the opportunity to become the master of Syracina, I am already a very lucky guy." ”
Jonah suddenly remembered the story of Jekong, who was traveling across the continent to find people of the same blood for his unfathomable lover Saru, but the first condition for resurrecting the soul was to collect the "Seven Dharmas", that is, to gather the seven artifacts, which should be an impossible task......
"Sheerafina's ability is called 'Divine Thought'. Without noticing the apprentice's wandering, the first mentor held the staff in his hand and smiled: "How to explain the 'divine thought', the astrologer relies on the energy of the spiritual pool to mobilize the power of the stars, and the power releaser and the telemancer release the energy through the life pool, you should have learned in the introductory textbook, the spiritual pool and the life pool are the power from the origin of human life, the depth of the two pools, The output speed and the recovery speed are the key to determining the strength of the caster, but what else is the difference that plays a decisive role, two people with the same ability, in a head-to-head battle, immediately distinguish the winner or loser, what is the reason for this, or suppose you have an unarmed king standing in front of you, he has no combat ability, but you can feel the majestic power from him, so that you have to bow and salute, unable to attack, what is the cause of this phenomenon. ”
Gilbert-Neon was obviously a good teacher, and Jonah thought for a moment and replied, "Soul, human beings have souls, and there is a difference in the strength of souls, and a person with a strong soul is truly strong. ”
"Good. The first mentor nodded appreciatively, "'Divine Thought' works on souls, this ability is very special among the seven artifacts, most of the inscriptions are attached to attack or defensive abilities, only Sirafina can continue to increase the soul power of the wielder, the longer you live with her, the stronger your soul becomes, which may be one of the reasons why I am not lost in the turbulence of time and space." ”
