Chapter 5: The Mage Kingdom

Mage Kingdom, Esenbelt. Located in the center of the Chaos Continent, it is bordered by the Warcraft Forest in the southeast, the dwarven kingdom in the southeast, the sacred empire that believes in the god of light in the northeast, the country of death in the northwest that believes in death and destruction, and the mercenary kingdom in the west. As a relic of the era of strong law, the mage kingdom located in the center of the continent relies on countless mage towers handed down from ancient times to maintain its own borders.

Lawne and his party separated from the caravan in Storm City, the border of the Mage Kingdom. Storm City gets its name from the 30-meter-high Mage Tower in the center of the city, and it is rumored that through this Mage Tower, you can release storm spells anywhere within a radius of 100 kilometers.

Darcy is a citizen of the mage kingdom, but he was born in Qingshui City on the northwest border of the kingdom, and Darcy became a war orphan at a very young age, both to avoid the scourge of war and to earn enough living needs, only after graduating from the junior mage academy, he joined the mercenary group, of course, the healing profession is very popular even at the beginning level. At this time, Darcy, who "returned victoriously" and became a rich woman, naturally became the guide of the group.

"I thought that in the mage kingdom, the gatekeeper would also be a mage, but it turned out to be a warrior, that is, the armor was replaced with leather armor..." In fact, Lawn, who was tortured by Cassie and Darcy's affection, was a little nervous, and his thinking ability was about to be cleared...

"Young master, the mage kingdom is called the mage kingdom because it has the ability to train high-level mages on a large scale, and people also have warrior academies to train warriors, but the quality is too inferior, and only a few can reach the high level! Just like our kingdom, as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can also train a large number of high-level warriors in a short period of time, as the characteristics of the kingdom, our country has the reputation of the warrior kingdom. ”

"Yes, and these are not the same as pure warriors, they wear rune leather armor, and they are both warriors and can cast spells. ”

"Cut, more but not finer, there is a kung fu to learn spells, and it is not better to work hard to break through the warrior rank!"

"My dear, you're doing the opposite, these guards are still majoring in spells, and they only learned the fighting spirit before they were minors, when their souls were not stable and they couldn't learn spells. When they become adults, they will major in spells, and when the mage qualifications are exhausted and it is difficult to advance, they will return to the warrior's fighting spirit again..."

"Isn't this still miscellaneous but not refined, I don't believe that I can break through, how can I break through the high level!"

"My dear is right, my dear, what will our children learn in the future?"

"Of course, to learn spells, it's up to you to teach, Lao Tzu has killed several sons on the battlefield, how can you give birth to a few good lineages who can stand in the rear and don't have to work hard!"

"Yes, dear, but how old is your son, and will your wife exclude me?"

"Don't worry! I've said it more than a dozen times, you're the wife. She couldn't practice, she followed me for decades, and she died... My son is older than you, and he has to call his mother, and they dare to turn against the sky? Also, don't be afraid, I'm a high-level professional, I must have lived longer than you, and I will definitely take care of you!"

......

Raun pinched his eyebrows with a headache, listened to the bombardment of the old man and young wife, and roared angrily in his heart: Lao Tzu just said a word...!!

With a little unhappiness, he handed Cassie the invitation letter from the mage kingdom and asked him to explain it to the city guard. Since Darcy joined and took his place, Lawne has been suffocated in the carriage for nearly a month... Luckily, the curtain could be lifted, otherwise Raun would have gone crazy.

"Young Master, they have already come to wait in the city, and they want us to go to the junior academy in this city, use the facilities there to test our qualifications, and determine our future itinerary!" said as if he was angry, "My country arranged for the three princes of them to be cultivated directly in the high-level academy, and they actually treated us like this, could it be that they couldn't even enter their royal city?"

"Let's go, since it's someone else's land, just listen to their arrangement!" Although Raun was also disappointed, he was not in his own kingdom, and it would only be self-inflicted humiliation to show prestige.

And Darcy, though he seemed to have something to say, looked at Cassie, and apparently felt that he still didn't touch his head...

It's a very simple junior college, like an ordinary farmer's iron gate, and it's just directly printed with Storm City, a junior college. There was already an old woman in front of the door, holding a two-handed staff, waiting for the arrival of Lawne and his party. In a foreign country, Lawne naturally did not dare to slack off, walked to the old woman, stroked his chest with his right hand, and bowed down to perform an aristocratic etiquette.

"You are Raun El?old woman Count Cona Refine, lord of the city, and this is my domain. ”

Lawn suddenly understood the root of his treatment, the royal family of the Kingdom of El Salin no longer divided hereditary titles, which was also a challenge to the hereditary nobles of other countries, and it was not uncommon for his party to be unwelcome. Raun could only ignore the old woman's mistreatment, with a professional smirk on his face: "It's here, I don't know how your royal family is going to complete this transaction?"

Raun is obviously reminding the Ruifeng City Lord that this is a transaction between countries, not an incident in which a certain city lord should be involved, and that the city lord is only a city lord with a bad attitude, but he will not accept an unequal deal.

Ruifeng smiled kindly, and seemed to sigh at Lawn's youthful vitality: "Come with me, our Esenbelt will naturally not let your country suffer, I have heard a little about this transaction, since we have taken advantage, naturally you deserve here, and you will not lose a point." With that, he turned and pushed open the door and walked into the academy.

Rauen was very surprised, and sure enough, he was old and fine, and he instantly understood his concerns. He didn't hesitate to take Casida into the academy with him. If there's one surprise to Lawn, it's that the academy is unexpectedly quiet, and there don't seem to be any students... It's just that Raun didn't ask too much, thinking that he wouldn't be so bored as to ambush himself in the mage kingdom, so he followed Ruifeng to a row of big tents.

"This is the test place for students before admission, although the smell of the fire element on your body is very choking, but you still do a comprehensive test, tens of thousands of years of inheritance, our country has a complete enough training program. Ruifeng casually pointed to an entrance with his staff, and motioned for Raun to go in, "January is the time to accept new students, and it's only October, but you have a big face, someone from Wangcheng, and you've been waiting here for a month, just to give you a test, don't be too angry, think we will treat you badly, if you are not qualified, we will still not accept you, and when your kingdom finds a good qualification, we will send it to us for training." These people wouldn't mind waiting a few more months in my Storm City. ”

Lawne suddenly felt like he was being trapped... It seems that I should have tested my qualifications before I came... But think about the experience along the way, maybe this is the reason why the family sent them out, the crippled flowers in the greenhouse, no matter how crippled, have to go through some wind and rain, see if you can achieve something?"

Crystal balls, super old-fashioned crystal balls...

In front of the crystal ball, a mage in a robe motioned for Lawne to put his hand on it, and a palpitation flashed, but Lawn, who had experienced life and death, was not flustered, frowned slightly, and stabilized. This made the robed mage look at the little fat man in front of him, but he still didn't forget his work: "The soul stability is qualified, the soul structure is basically stable, and you can start to try spell learning." ”

"Childe's soul structure is basically stable when he is less than 15 years old, which means that Childe's soul talent will not be too low, and normal people have to be 18 years old to reach this step! Darcy's voice came, and it was very timely to comfort Lawn, who was afraid of being sent back directly.

On the next table, the mage added some additional instruments in front of the crystal ball, and put his hands on the crystal ball, and a sense of peeping came, and the crystal ball emitted a soft light, which was very warm, giving Rauen a sense of déjà vu. ”

"Oh, yes, a mage who can advance to the 8th rank can give an account to Al Salin!" Ruifeng seemed to think that this transaction was likely to lose money, and there was always a sour taste in his words... 8th order, already higher than her...

On the last table, there is an unusually tall stone slab behind the crystal ball, I don't know what it does, Raun was quite happy at this time, and he didn't care about those, he put his hand on the last crystal ball, and a whirling suction force came, and suddenly Raun felt a sense of prostration, but at this time there was a slightly regretful voice: "Tut-tut, the fire system perception is extreme, this perception is enough to achieve the 12th-order stars, it's a waste!" Then another voice came, "The metal system, the earth system, the wood system, the perception 3, the water system is 1, well, the fire system is so high, it would be good to have 1 in the water system." Level 2 derivative elements, it's really rich, light system 3 life 3 space 3 ice system 1 dark system 0. There are also level 3 derivations, Ruifeng, he is related to you, Storm Perception 1, Time Perception 1, and Divine Death Transformation are all 0. It's really strange, the water system gold system can actually perceive level 3 derivative elements, and the best fire system branch actually doesn't have the divine system perception!"

"What is this derivation and perception?" "Curious baby Raun, despite his collapse, still wants to know more about mages.

The handsome guy is not worried about Lawne's prostration, obviously it is not a problem, and he does not mind taking advantage of Lawne's recovery time to give Lawne a little explanation:" The most basic first-level elements in the world, also called the origin elements, are gold, wood, earth, water, and fire, and they can derive the second-level derivative elements through some kind of evolution, which is the five-to-one correspondence of space life, darkness, cold, ice, and light, and then reincarnated as the time-deformation and death storm divine derived from the third-level derivation, which is the most basic 15 elemental powers that mages can obtain from the natural world, and these 15 elements are mutually reinforcing each other, and the hybrid spells derived from each other are strange and strange, but the elemental power incorporated into the body by the mage's cultivation is only these 15 kinds. Perception represents affinity with the elements. In the end, the total amount of elemental power that can be stored in the body and the speed at which the elemental power can be absorbed depends on perception. Perception 3 represents all the elements stored in your body, and can only be used as a seed to trigger 9 third-order spells for you, and if it reaches 10, then this system of perception is 4. Of course, it takes a long time to think of the level of 9 times. In short, mages eat by looking at their faces, and their advancement is super fast, and it is very difficult to leap through the ranks. Just like you, the 7th level of spiritual strength can ensure that you can advance to the 7th level extremely quickly, but even if the spiritual extension has the potential of the 8th level of advancement, it all depends on chance. As handsome as I am, with excellent malleability, the highest evaluation is the ninth order, and I am not honestly a fifth-order mix...."

Narcissism may be a necessary character for a handsome guy, otherwise how can you feel handsome. Raun thought about it, and his mood was relaxed for a while, at least, he could quickly have a high-level career, and he didn't seem to have to feel like a waste anymore. Packing up his mood, Lawn cared about his itinerary: "Then how does your country arrange my itinerary?"

"Don't worry, there are still more than two months to start the new semester, you first follow me to the royal capital to settle down, and then enroll with the new students, oh, I'm Devon Dalt, I accompany you on all your trips in Esenbelt, and at the same time, I am also your mentor, I teach the most basic and important mage foundation circle, which is the foundation for the mage to build a spell array in his body and the elemental pool for storing elemental power. Your initial psychic power is too strong, and I think you need to complete your first steps as a mage at the mage tower here. Once in the capital city of Baird, queuing up to use the Mage Tower will drive you crazy. So, don't worry, the storm system is an extension of the water system, which can completely complete the suppression of the fire element, and help you get through the initial stage when you are a freak who is very unhappy.

Yes, it's very bad! The foundation circle is indeed very basic, just a simple five-pointed star shape, even if Lawne has a level 3 derivative attribute, he needs to build two larger five-pointed stars to surround the previous one's foundation circle in the center of the five-pointed star shape, and the three simple five-pointed stars are neatly set together, which is extremely easy to complete in the spiritual space that is God, even if he has to build a total of 12 layers and 36 five-pointed stars. Yes, as the ultimate in fire-based perception, the only benefit is that the capacity of elemental power is unusually large, and the elemental capacity of the upper and lower 12 layers is enough for Raun Even if he does not communicate with the elemental help of the outside world, his own elemental reserve can also release a 10th-order moon wheel spell, as long as the spiritual power is enough. The problem is that mental power is not enough.... What does it feel like to eat an element 100,000 times larger than oneself with a spirit with a total mass of 10? Scorching, endless scorching, even with the suppression of the Storm Tower, slows down the speed at which the fire element merges into the body, giving the spirit enough time to slowly adapt to all this, in Lawn's perception, there is still only endless scorching, it seems that every sip of water and every bite of food eaten will instantly turn to ashes, but he is just burning, burning, burning. The burning sensation is endless, but the soul is so sensitive that there is no chance of passing out...

Dalter calmly watched Lawn's pain, and silently laughed at Lawn's "ambitions". As a "one's own person" who is not his own country, after telling Lawne that it is enough to build a foundation circle that exceeds his spiritual limit by two levels, Lawn is very dissatisfied and asks if it will be dangerous to build to the 12th floor. Naturally, there is no danger, but the time to enjoy the pain is only a hundred times longer, and Dalter can be sure, less than a thousand times!

Rui Feng, who is presiding over the operation of the Mage Tower on the top floor of the Mage Tower, may be old and have no national views, but he admires Raun a little, perhaps, unlike those nobles in the country who rely on the protection of the Mage Tower and are drunk and dreaming of death, this is the most terrible place in the warrior kingdom, the pain can be ren, but the opportunity to make yourself stronger may not be once. Silently looked at the huge whirlpool of fiery red in the sky, and muttered to himself: "This range, this kind of power, but it has the power of a 10th-order spell, if you work it well, you can't say that the border can be peaceful for hundreds of years..."

People are old and well-deserved!Lawn is suffering, and Ruifeng has already considered letting a certain 9th-order mage pretend to be an advanced 10th order to deter the border countries... The 10th-order fire method outside the Storm Tower is indeed enough to impersonate all this.

Young Dharter seemed to have laughed enough at the pain of Lawn's gnashing of teeth, and anyone who laughed at a person for hours would be annoyed, but he just watched for a few hours, and saw everything as it was, there was no danger, and he didn't bother to keep watch, as long as people don't die, he can explain to Elsalin, why should he appreciate a person's wailing. He instructed Cassie to remember to bring tea and water to his master, and he went away from nowhere...

And poor Cassie, the high-level strength can't hide the trembling legs... Cassie reminisces about the past, wondering if he would offend Lawne somewhere, lest he put on his own shoes... It's the first time I've seen such a ruthless prince, he jumped into a caldera without blinking, so cruel to himself, isn't it even more ruthless to others?

At this time, Lawn, the elements in the spiritual sea have become viscous liquid, and his suffering is getting heavier and heavier... Since the 8th order, the first order is a qualitative leap, the 9th order of the fighting energy or mana will begin to liquefy; the 10th order begins to solidify;the 11th order corona compares a person's strength to a star, in fact, it is just a solidified bucket core/magic core that begins to have the ability to live endlessly; the 12th order of stars, that is, endless stars, is actually a self-recovery free from external support, which is the foundation and only the foundation for the strong to leave their own planet and travel the universe; the 13th order is no longer known, presumably the stars in the sky, you can go!

......

A month later, Lawn, who was in sight, no longer asked if the 12th-order foundation circle would have a dangerous vision, and his blood-red eyes were dead and gray... It's like returning from an endless hell. Absorbing the elements is the process of activating the spirit and activating the cells, so people will not be sleepy and tired, but the baptism of the fire element for a month has also helped Lawne complete the great cause of his dream: lose weight! Obviously, the fat cells failed to withstand the test of the fire element, at this time, Raun lived up to the naïve state when he was obese, although his eyes were dead and gray, with a slimmed down face, it made people feel that there was endless fortitude, although there were no clear water chestnut muscles on the upper and lower parts of the mixed body, but there was no fat, plus the huge skeleton inherited from his parents, but he also had the strength of a father-like battlefield general. If it weren't for Cassie taking care of him day and night, I am afraid that he would not be able to believe that this is his young master. After a month of pain, Lawn finally witnessed the birth of the 12th-order elemental core in the previous moment, there was no earth-shattering vision, even the fire element in the sky outside the mage tower dispersed like a fire cloud, in the middle of the 12-layer foundation circle, there was only a small piece of red diamond-shaped crystal, which seemed to be real and illusory, once Lawn wanted to observe it carefully, there was a kind of vastness like looking at the stars, if you didn't look carefully, it was just a fingernail-sized thing, which made Lawn very unaccustomed to such a thing in the spiritual sea, but it was also worth rejoicing, and the suffering passed... Then Lawn did what he wanted to do most in a month and fainted...
