As a result, seeing the tall man who saw him, with his beautiful figure, his long emerald green hair, and pointed ears, there was no doubt that it was Hanufain.

"Long time no see, little Leah. ”

Today's great sage looks full of vitality and greets little Lori very brightly.

"I said that...... The recent mages like not to go through the main entrance, is it a tradition left over from before Ragnarok?"

Leah didn't know what to say, and those mages who didn't understand etiquette were just that, why did the great sages choose to come in through the window.

"Don't say that, I hate cumbersome etiquette, and if you come in through the main entrance, you have to alarm the girl from Randall's royal family. ”

Hanufain jumped into the study with a "hey".

"I see. ”

The other party's words are very reasonable, if you follow the formal etiquette, Hanufain's arrival is not only shocking, I am afraid that a whole set of welcome ceremonies that can be tossed into the evening is inevitable. The other party doesn't like this, and he has the strength to open the window without being discovered, so if you think about it, it's a matter of course.

"So...... What's the matter?"

Leah clapped her hands, and the black teapot that had been sitting aside moved, floating in the air, pouring fragrant tea into an empty teacup.

"Thank you. Actually, I'm here to congratulate you, little Leah, the Elemental Purity Theory is amazing. ”

Hanufain took the black tea, took a sip with a smile and said.

"I am honored to be appreciated by the Great Sage. But it's hard to imagine that you'd go on a trip for this theory. ”

"Well...... Well...... Don't be so vigilant. Seriously, the theory of elemental purity was also a great argument before Ragnarok, when the mage who made it later became a magician. ”

"Huh? That is. This is actually an argument that existed a long time ago, but it was lost, right?"

"Exactly. Strictly speaking, it was a goblin who first proposed elemental purity...... I don't know how much you know about bombs, it's not the same as Earth, the gunpowder in the Ivette continent relies on a potion called gunpowder grass, to put it bluntly, the principle is still to gather a large amount of fire elements and detonate.

And then the problem arises. Before the discovery of elemental purity, all bombs used elements of very low purity, then. What's the way to increase the power of the bomb?"

"Increase the number of elements. However, this will cause the bomb to be too large, and even if the compression theory is adopted, compressing too many elements together will cause the deterioration of the elements and the instability of the bomb itself. ”

Leah knew how to increase the power of magic before the Elemental Purity Theory came out. Because before that. She's been using it, and she's been using it for three and a half years.

However, the desperate compression of the elements in a small bomb is like putting a large bunch of grapes into a very small jar, and the grapes are squeezed against each other and then shattered, which is a kind of elemental deterioration.

On the other hand, too many elements are compressed into a small bomb, which seems to inject too much gas into a balloon. Even if you touch it lightly with the tip of a needle, it will explode.

So. Such a bomb is not only not very powerful, but also very easy to misfire.

A more appropriate approach than compression is to increase the volume, because a larger volume naturally bears more elements. But the problem is that a mage can unleash a fireball bigger than himself without care, while a goblin can't carry a bomb bigger than himself and run around the streets.

"You're right, and so, in order to break this shackle, the theory of elemental purity was born. But after that, the goblins betrayed the goddess and were punished by heaven, and even though the theory of elemental purity had spread throughout the continent of Ivette long before that, the disappearance of its main users still caused a great deal of knowledge and literature to be lost.

And after Ragnarok, because of the fall of the crystal spirits and goddesses, the elements began to become chaotic, and the mages found that the spells they used to filter purity gradually failed, so the theory of elemental purity, which no longer worked, was abandoned, and until now, people have even forgotten about the existence of this argument. ”

Hanufain tells the story of the loss of a glorious civilization and a distant past that Leah did not know.

"But why don't you just tell the mages?"

Leah found the contradiction in the other party's words, that is, Hanufain himself naturally knew the purity of the elements, in that case, why didn't the Great Sage himself tell other mages?

"Times are changing, so are the rules, and the laws of the old times don't necessarily apply to the new ones, just like I know a lot about the spells of space-time magic, and I know the rules of them, but they are not as useful as your flashes. By the same token, the old theory of elemental purity is long outdated, and even if I take out the spells of that era, it doesn't make any sense. ”

Hanufain shook his head.

"Isn't it possible for our great sage to create a new theory? In your wisdom, it is certainly not difficult, and it is even much easier than mine. ”

"Yes, it's easy, but I have more important things to do, so I'll leave the errand of creating a new theory to the mages of this era. ”

"Oh, something more important than creating a new theory, what is that?"

"Secret. ”

The other party's answer made Leah pout.

"Okay, okay, don't be so angry, just to prove the sincerity of me and the goddess, I'll tell you a little bit of the inside story. ”

Noticing that Leah had always been very wary of her, Hanufain decided to reduce some of the secrecy appropriately.

"Well...... How about starting with nǎ? right...... You know the Arcane Temple, right?"

As soon as Leah and the others arrived, they were told by Sharuzod that there was a crystal there, and every mage who lived in Mage City had to inject a lot of spiritual power into it as if they were paying a monthly rent.

Little Lori is naturally no exception, so there's no reason not to know about that temple.

"Do you know what the spiritual power injected into it is used for?"

Leah shook her head.

"That's for tuning the world. ”

"Tuning?"

"Yes, after Ragnarok, the goddesses fell, and so did the elves...... disappeared, and as a result, order began to be disrupted, the flames began to cool, the seas froze, the earth ceased to flourish, and the wind lost its direction. Light, darkness, time, space, arcane, every element has lost its former vitality, or rather...... Rules ...... should be"

In those long years, the continent of Evite, which had lost the protection of the gods, began to fall into chaos, the laws gradually collapsed, and even the entire continent was on the verge of collapse.

"But the Goddess of Creation gave me the Mage City. ”

"Mage City?"

"Yes, the city we live in now is actually created by the goddess to stabilize the magic hub of the Dìng continent. As long as it stands in the center of the continent and infuses it with spiritual power, it can tune the entire continent.

In other words, it can slow down the collapse of the world. ”

ps: Happy New Year's Day, everyone!~~~
