Chapter 601: Order Matters
While life at the Academy of Magic must be done with care, it's a great place to learn magic. Endless information and experienced teachers make up for what Siegel has been lacking. He has infinite spirituality, but lacks systematic cultivation and sufficient insight.
Although he can't go up to the fourth floor for the time being, the first three floors are enough for him to improve significantly. This improvement is not directly reflected in combat ability - the level of spellcasting he now uses in combat is already strong - but in the breadth and depth of the spells. If he is faced with the same problem, he can come up with many more solutions than in the past, which is more efficient and appropriate.
The Academy of Magic has not had any newcomers in recent times, and it has maintained the scale of six people. No one knows why this is happening. The situation of the mutual gang has also stabilized, and everyone knows that they can't provoke Chanem - in fact, it is no different from when he was a bug mage in the past - and Chanem has rarely calmed down and not tried his knife on more people. In addition to spending a lot of energy on reading and studying, Siegel also began to secretly seize every opportunity to earn points for himself, even at the expense of using the ability of time shock.
One of his most recent achievements was to simulate the lightning of destruction on the fourth floor of the Magic Tower. Although it is just an arc of electricity gathered on the fingertips, the power contained in it is of exactly the same nature. Seeing this, Chanem smiled rarely. "It seems that sometimes you need to push it, and people will improve. ”
Being able to exert such power marks a step closer to figuring out how to prevent it, so there are indeed reasons to celebrate. Every now and then, Siegel shows a little progress to keep Chanem steady and buy time for himself and everyone else. He kept going to the second floor of the magic tower, slowly improving on the few spells he had an advantage in, and repeatedly breaking records. For example, he can summon fifty elemental guards at a time. But it was controlled at a level where there was one more than the original record at a time. By such means, he quickly accumulated a large number of points.
By paying a certain number of points, students can check each other's points. Siegel's points progress has always been the focus of everyone's attention. Siegel earns and spends quickly, and a large amount of points are exchanged for experimental materials and even used to expand the area of the living room. He didn't tell anyone what he was doing. He didn't bring it up at all, because he knew that if he opened his mouth, Anna would know if it was the truth or a lie.
Many uses of points have also been discovered, and everyone has attracted attention to these new "means". Siegel has never forgotten one of the earliest known uses of integrals. Spend thousands of points to know the real situation of a certain student, race, name, world of origin, etc. However, this feature is too many points, just to know Siegel Squid, a human mage. From the Thunder Wall World, the Marquis of the Star Kingdom and the Archmage of the Federation, these parts of the information add up to six thousand points. Who will be idle and idle to spend on this?
Siegel did just that, day after day, accumulating eight thousand points, and the target of his inquiry was the female elf Anna, one of the three elders of this group of students of the Magic Academy. The result is very strange, Anna is actually her real name. She is indeed an elf, from the elven kingdom of the Thunder Wall World. He is one of the archmages of the Academy of Arts. She was already eight hundred and seventy-two years old, and had lived in the Academy of Magic for nine years.
If this information is followed, she actually revealed her true identity before Siegel, but she has always claimed that she is still using a pseudonym. Siegel couldn't think of her motives for such a paradoxical move. He had an idea and used his remaining 2,000 points to apply to the Lamp God to permanently disguise his true identity.
"You don't have enough points. This is how the lamp god replied.
It is enough to have this phrase. On the one hand, it shows that the lamp god can indeed provide such a service. Hide your identity permanently, and the cost of this service is very high. In the absence of Siegel's Mutual Aid Society, everyone lacked a way to earn points, and they continued to threaten each other, resulting in everyone's points fluctuating around 12,000. On the one hand, it is strange that Anna can accumulate more than 2,000 points, and on the other hand, she actually spends it on hiding her true identity. This aroused deep suspicion in Siegel.
I remember that when Chanem was killed by the Destruction Lightning for the first time, it was Anna who was able to go to the second layer the next day, and her remaining points were higher than those of the Orc Sage. It stands to reason that the Orc Sage entered the magic academy earlier than her, and no one can really threaten the Sage, and he won't spend much on magic learning, so it stands to reason that he should have a lot of points left, but he still hasn't compared to the elf Anna.
Siegel has a guess that has to do with the order of admission to the Academy of Magic. Now it is only known that the Orc Sage is the earliest one in this group, but I don't know if he is the earliest one in the Academy of Magic. Unfortunately, he is dead and unable to answer the question, and Chanem's relationship with Siegel is too distant to be easily trusted. Because the lamp god is equivalent to starting over after changing owners every time, it is not possible to answer this question. Siegel thought for a moment, and there was only one place where it was possible to find the answer.
Careful to avoid everyone's attention, he began to walk back. Leave the valley guarded by the stone pillars, pass through the massive statues of the seven mages, and re-enter the mountain pass.
He kept calling on the mountain road, and finally waited for the feathered serpent to appear. The five feathered serpents flew up and down, spitting flames and lightning to disperse the clouds around them. "Someone is back, the one who tastes better. ”
"It's a pity that this time he stinks, mixed with a smell that I hate, a savage, powerful savagery. ”
"Looks like he's trying to challenge us, is it that fun?"
"I told you a long time ago, you can't release water, you can't release water. You don't listen. Now he's coming again. He came with contempt, with contempt for him!"
Feathered Serpent talked in a hurry, fast, and his voice was like thunder. If they were allowed to continue talking, Siegel would probably have to accept the wind blowing again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not here to challenge, and I don't mean to offend. I just had doubts in my mind and hoped to get answers. Siegel hurriedly spoke at the highest volume so as not to lose the opportunity: "I wonder, who was the first person to pass through this area?"
"Why should I tell you. Dot. A feathered serpent laughed, "You don't have what we need, and we won't serve you." We come from the clouds, we live in the clouds, and we only need these clouds to live forever!"
"But there's only clouds and a few of you feathered serpents. Aren't you lonely?" said Siegel, "You five can entertain yourselves, but you can't expand your race. No new happiness can be generated. I can promise to help you go to a new world in exchange for your clarification, on the premise of keeping this safe environment, I wonder if this is possible?"
Several of the Feathered Serpents glanced at each other and laughed and re-hid in the mist.
Silence returned to the mountains, and the matter seemed to be over. However, Siegel knows that the feathered serpent is a very patient creature, and they will watch and wait. Conclusions are not easily drawn. So Siegel left them time and did not leave the mountain road, but sat down and began to meditate.
In the multiverse, the Feathered Serpent is a powerful creature with its own race of gods, they have their own kingdom world, have their own social structure, and are even worshipped as gods by some of the world's creatures. They are mages by nature and can also control the power of life and death.
After having the permanent qualification for the upper second floor. The first floor of the teaching class is not mandatory, at least not because of the absence. Siegel sat in the Valley of the Clouds for three days. While meditating, continue to try to contact the Feathered Serpent. He knew that in the entire Academy of Magic, apart from the Lamp God, Feathered Serpent was the only living creature, and the only native guardian who still had normal intelligence.
It was only on the third night that the Quetzalcoatl reappeared. But only voices came, appearing in Siegel's meditative mind. "Remember your promise, strange mage, that you promised us our protected freedom, and we will give you answers to your doubts as far as we know. ”
"Thank you. Siegel let out a long sigh of relief. "Can you tell me who was the first to come here?"
"We don't know his name. All you know is that he's your father - and you smell the same. Feathered Serpent replied, "He was beaten all the way, hahahahahaha!"
It seems that the power of the orc sage is still remnant, Siegel thought to himself. "Who's next?"
"It was a human, but he didn't make it and fell off the road. The figure of the Feathered Serpent flickered in the fog, patiently describing to Siegel all the people who had passed through the passage. Siegel's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and the doubts in his heart continued to grow.
"There aren't any female elves, what about half-elves?"
"No, only the male elves have passed, we're pretty sure of that. Feathered Serpent said, "We can't be wrong with our noses." ”
"Thanks, last question. Siegel said, "How do you get out of here?"
Feathered Serpent was silent, and they swung up, without saying a word, and flew into the depths of the mist. After a while, they did not reappear. Siegel knew they knew the answer, but they couldn't answer the question, so he left.
But he already has a rough idea of what to do, which will be very helpful for what to do later. Siegel got up and walked back, slowly at first, but then gradually lighter, almost as if flying in the clouds. However, when he approached the end of the passage, he hid his figure, still quietly avoiding everyone's sight, and slipped back to his room while the magic tower was lecturing.
"Lamp God, I'm going to copy my magical creations and spend all my points. Siegel said, "If you exceed 1,600 points, you will spend 370 points and repeat my experiment." ”
"As you wish. The lamp god nodded. Legendary spell seeds of the rules of creation kept flashing in Siegel's room, and crystal coffins appeared out of thin air.
"This is a protracted war and a war of attrition. "He calculates progress and gains and losses in his head. "I still need about 70,000 points to really be sure to beat them, and him. ”
In his hand was a fully analyzed drawing of the Servant Lamp God, densely filled with Siegel's interpretation of it. Based on this progress, he already has the ability to remove the tampering runes attached to the lamp god. But Siegel shook his head, summoned the flames, and burned it. (To be continued.) )
