Siegel lost his way in a place shrouded in gray mist.

He knew he was dreaming, but strangely he could still perform magic in his dreams, so it was like a deep meditation state.

Beneath his feet, the ground was paved with hard granite, neatly divided into pieces with golden stripes, like the mighty tower of the Mage Federation. He crouched down and touched the ground with his hand, a slight numbness coming from between his fingers, as if he had touched the plasma lines of Nacosi.

There was a gray fog all around, so you couldn't see how far the ground could stretch. It was pointless to measure the dream world with his feet, so Siegel pointed to it, and a bright bolt of lightning shot out and flew into the distance. The fog dispersed and gathered, and the lightning was nowhere to be found.

He vividly remembers settling Isaac and going to bed early. He remembers the soft goose feather pillows, the cozy snugly lambswool blanket, and the smell of mosquito repellent incense lit by the pillow. If he felt it carefully, he could still vaguely feel the message from the real environment.

This dream is too dream-like to be seen at a glance, why does it still exist? Siegel's curiosity rises to know what is behind the gray fog and how this dream came about.

He raised his hand and mobilized the power of the qi element. The whirlwind burst out, forming a wall of wind around him, sweeping the fog into the air. Then he mobilized the power of the earth elemental to decompose tiny clouds of dust from the ground and rise with the thick fog. It didn't take long for the fog in the sky to condense and then turn into rain and fall.

Siegel recited a spell that caused the rain that fell on the ground to condense into the element of water. The water element is getting bigger and taller. Eventually rise to the height of the rain clouds. If it weren't for a dream. There will certainly not be such a spectacle. Siegel will also not have an endless amount of elemental power to mobilize. He realized in his heart that the water elemental giant was not balanced, and it was not the most perfect state.

He used fire to melt the granite on the ground, reducing it back to lava, and then attempted to merge it into the Hydro Giant. But the huge energy makes the water vapor steam, and the water element cannot maintain the stability of the form, and constantly writhes in front of Siegel, looking like it is about to collapse at any time.

The water element must also have enough energy. to balance the power of the lava. Siegel raised his other hand and used the power of the air element to condense into lightning, causing the clouds of rain in the sky to turn into thunderclouds and slowly stuff into the water element.

Lightning combined with water to continuously create flammable gases, thus crossing the critical step from water to fire. The four elements begin to adapt to each other, forming an energy exchange from within. Water is the most adaptable element, and there is a saying that water is the source of life. And in front of Siegel, the water element began to gradually break away from the category of summoned objects, and gradually became able to exist independently.

This change is slow. But time doesn't have much real meaning in dreams. The aggregate of elements gradually shrinks, but becomes more condensed and stable. Eventually, it became the same size as Siegel, but in addition to its head, torso, and limbs, it also had four fluttering tentacles behind it.

Each tentacle represents an element.

Siegel stepped forward and took a closer look at the state. The four tentacles are very similar to the special ability of a spell mage, which is to summon a spell in the form of an energy ball and then use it intensively. It's just that the elemental aggregate goes one step further, materializing pure energy into ribbons that float in the air.

Touch the tentacle with your hand and you won't feel its weight at all. The four elements give the four tentacles different touches, but they are all very soft and docile. When two ribbons intersect, a tiny amount of energy is generated from the contacts, accompanied by a crunchy sound of staggered tones.

Casting spells requires movement, sound, elemental energy, and casting materials. Elemental tentacles seem to have everything else besides materials. Siegel was contemplating this intently when the Elemental Aggregate suddenly turned its head and opened its eyes. There are no whites of the eyes, and the eyes are completely covered in black staring at Siegel tightly.

Then the elemental aggregate smiled strangely twisted.

Siegel woke up violently, realizing that his heart was beating wildly, sweating profusely, and he was gasping for breath. It was dark, the candles and the fireplace had gone out, and there was no light outside. He felt restless and irritable, but he didn't know where that feeling came from. I should have long passed the age of being awakened by nightmares, why can't magic dispel dreams?

Yes, mages have spells, but they're just people. People will be harmed, and so will mages. Unless he becomes an undead, all kinds of emotions, such as greed, longing, joy, and fear, will act on the mage as usual, and will not change due to the existence of the spell.

He rolled over and got out of bed and cast his magic to light up the room again. Everything around was exactly the same as it had been before going to sleep, except that the incense at the bedside had been extinguished and the door to the balcony was halfway open.

The humid and muggy air blew in through the crack in the door, filled with the smell of rain, and it seemed that tomorrow the whole sky would be crying. Siegel pushed open the door and walked out onto the balcony to enter the night, and his mood gradually stabilized. Soldiers patrolling the city of Myr patrol the torch-lit walls, their weapons clashing with their armor. The kitchen was already busy, and Siegel saw Aunt Puran walking towards the bakery with a basket of bread crumbs, followed by her clever black dog.

The moonlight was obscured by the heavy clouds in the sky, so it was dim. It is said that such an environment is very uncomfortable for elven priests. Their divine power comes from the moon god, which is naturally more abundant in the light of the moon, and many advanced spells, such as resurrection and holy aura, need to be cast at the time of the full moon.

There was no one in the room, so Siegel still felt more comfortable standing on the balcony. He couldn't help but think of the collection of elements in the dream, can such a state be realized in reality? He can't mobilize a huge number of elements like he did in his dream, but he already knows how to achieve a balance between the four elements and form a stable mutual coexistence structure, which is already a great progress.

It's not impossible to recreate the dream experiment, isn't the elven's elemental surge able to greatly increase the concentration of the elements? It's just that he hasn't eaten the magic circle yet, and he can only draw a scoop on the gourd at present, and he can't break it down and only use the part he needs. The magic items needed to set up an entire circle are incredibly valuable. Heim couldn't afford it.

He spread his palms. Put the power of the four elements at your fingertips. Fusion reorganization is then carried out. Unable to form a stable cycle due to insufficient energy support, the elemental aggregates only exist for a moment before disappearing, like sparks in a furnace. Siegel was not discouraged, but clenched his fists, he already understood what the next path of the archmage was going to take.

At this moment, the Elemental Rune Circle of Myr City sensed the effect of the teleportation magic and alerted Siegel. The destination of the teleportation is in the center of the courtyard downstairs. Because a mage can only teleport to the place where he has been or can see, and no one can see the courtyard of the castle through the thick walls, then the person who performs the teleportation must have been to the city of Myr.

Siegel beckoned, and the staff of defense flew from the side of the bed into his hand. A red orb of light emerges from the tip of the staff, and shoots a pillar of light towards the center of the courtyard. The castle's guards immediately noticed the change and rang the alarm bell on the city wall. Siegel cast a protective spell on himself, then focused on the changes in the courtyard.

A milky white pillar of light appeared from the center of the courtyard, and two figures fell out. Siegel let out a loud cry and rushed over.

Black smoke was still rising from the robe of the half-elf mage Edith. His pale blonde hair was charred. The embarrassed half-elf had obviously lost his strength, and he didn't even have the strength to extinguish the sparks on his body. But he still grabbed the wrist of the other person next to him with one hand. Janet's eyes were open, but she stared blankly at the dark night sky, motionless.

Illuminated by the red pillar of light, Janet's lifeless face appeared in front of Siegel. The mage touched her neck with a trembling hand, but the only vibration he could feel was from his own wrist. She didn't have a heartbeat, she didn't breathe, she didn't show any signs of life still existing.

Siegel took a sharp breath, grabbed Edith by the neck, and roared, "What the hell is going on!

The half-elf coughed vigorously and struggled to open his eyes, only to realize that he was blind in one eye. The old man squeezed a sentence out of his throat with great effort, "We have been attacked, you let me down and let me speak slowly." ”

Siegel breathed short, intensely, but it seemed like no air was entering his lungs, and he felt choked all the time. It took all his strength to let go of his hand, and Edith fell to the ground.

"We arrived at the Elven Forest, where we were received by the Druid Estelle and secretly led us to the Druid Forest. The preparation for the reincarnation technique also went well, but it took a long time for Janet to be fully mentally prepared. There is no moonlight tonight, the power of the moon god is reduced, the power of the forest is relatively increased, and it is easier to hide from the priests of the moon temple, so the reincarnation ceremony is scheduled for tonight. ”

The ceremony started off well, and Estelle invited the other two Grand Druids to cast spells together to ensure success. Halfway through the ceremony, we were attacked.

The man in black who appeared out of nowhere suddenly appeared in the elven forest. They are armed with serpentine daggers that can easily pierce everyone's spell shields. They target the caster and inflict damage. I've seen druids fight them in beast form, only to hit the shadows. The dagger pierced the elf's heart, and death was unstoppable.

"I decided to leave, so I broke into the ceremony, but of the three Great Druids, only Estelle was still alive, and the other two were reduced to cold corpses. A man in black was stabbing his dagger into the back of his heart, slash after knife, but the druid insisted on chanting the incantation until the last moment of his life. ”

"Then I control the power of the elements and use lightning to pierce the heart of the man in black. But for some reason, some of the magic power bounced back, hit my eyes, and brought the flames to me. Siegel, this is not magic, but magic, and I distinctly feel the energy fluctuations similar to the priest's holy power. ”

"Seeing that the situation was not good, I used teleportation to leave before the men in black surrounded me. But when I grabbed Janet's hand, I realized that she had no signs of life. Siegel forgive me, I broke my promise. ”

The soldiers led by Heim gathered around, and when they saw the scene in the courtyard, they lowered their weapons and took off their hats. There was a thunderstorm in the sky, and then there was a torrential rain, which smashed the top of people's heads. The tears flowing from Siegel's face and the rain from the sky blended together, soaking through his clothes and chilling his heart, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

A thunderbolt suddenly illuminated, instantly spreading the pale color all over the courtyard. Siegel was startled and pulled Edith again, and the two of them almost nose to nose. His voice was still clear to the half-elf's ears in the roar of the rain.

"When you left, was the reincarnation ritual completed?!" )
