Chapter 589: Atmosphere
Due to the bald mage's "withdrawal", there were only eight students left in the magic academy the next morning, but there were still nine seats in the classroom. Elf Anna said, "As long as the seats are still there, then the spot will be filled soon." ”
She said that she has been living here for more than half a year, and there are many students coming and going, and the classroom seat is only four at the minimum. At the time, they thought it was an elimination tournament and that they would be able to win as long as they drove all their opponents out of the academy. But overnight, the number of seats was back to nine, and soon everyone was coming.
"You can be one of the four left at that time, and it seems that you are also very capable. Siegel said in amazement. His gaze was so calm that Anna couldn't tell the wariness, suspicion, or compliment. Maybe this "old mage" seems to have seen a lot of strange things, and now he is no longer strange, maybe he is very good at spell casting and does not take the mages in the academy to heart.
Anna was right, and the empty seats would soon be filled. With a sharp creak, a strange car came from the direction of the Nine Statues. It was an armchair on wheels, on which sat a dwarf with a large head pressed against his asymmetrical, thin shoulders. This dwarf has no legs.
"Another dwarf. A mage muttered, his gaze sweeping over Siegel and the dwarf flame mage who had been killed once. "What does this dwarf learn, and how did his wheelchair come from the mountain path?"
"Hello, this is the mage's secret realm!" the dwarf straightened the belt that fixed his body, and said with a passion rarely seen here, "My name is Keke. Nice to meet you guys. Can anyone tell me about the rules here......"
The flame mage gnome interrupted him rudely. Talking to him with a wink: "Fool." Shut up, these tall guys are shameless liars, you have to learn to protect yourself, you know?"
The wheelchair dwarf was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and still said happily: "It's okay, I'm here to learn, not to fight." I read my books, cast my spells, and make my treasures. ”
Koko's lamp god whispered a few words in his ear. The gnome listened as he listened, and the smile on his face slowly faded. It seems that he has learned the cruelty of the world from the lamp god, and even if he can exchange points for the opportunity to attack, those who want to win are happy to consume it on it.
Defense also consumes points, and if you want to learn advanced spells and legendary spells, you will consume more points. There seem to be infinite resources here, but behind the resources there is an endless battle.
When the smile on his face disappeared completely, the dwarf in the wheelchair looked lonely, and his eyes were full of wariness. He just glanced up at the others, then navigated his wheelchair to the empty room. The dwarf flame mage wanted to catch up and talk to him. But he was also rejected by his eyes.
This change of mood began when the god of lights told him the rules. Siegel frowned, feeling that something was wrong with this matter. He opened a school of magic and wizardry in Heimling. Create an environment for the children and knights of the realm to learn magic. Due to funding constraints, some are eliminated each year, and only a fixed number of students have the opportunity to continue their studies in the second year.
The knights are happy to say that they earn their own income by swearing allegiance to their lordship. The children who come to school are giving up the opportunity to help at home and come to school, and they bear a lot of burden. It stands to reason that the magic schools in Heim's territory should be more tense, and they should be fighting each other for places. But now it seems that the environment of the magic school in the Magic God Kingdom is much harsher, which is obviously not normal.
None of the three priesthoods of magic, knowledge, and prophecy contain the meaning of strife. This is not the Temple of the God of War, and it also needs to use the method of the arena to decide the winner. If there must be a relationship between victory and defeat, then you should start with the level of casting, the breadth and depth of knowledge, and the ability to predict. Will Shenhuo need a mage with more combat ability?
If a god is generated, the battle he faces is not at the level of the mortal world. Among all the gods, there is just such a magic god, and even if his opponent can use magic, no one will be stupid enough to use magic against the magic god. Therefore, the fighting ability of the magic god is never reflected in the confrontation between mages, but when fighting with warriors, druids, assassins and other gods. Therefore, this magic academy, this seven-story tower, it is understandable to use the rules of points to limit the battles between students, but the lamp god hints to each student, conceal their identities, and the points can be used to apply for battles, these words seem to be deliberately creating an atmosphere.
If the lamp god is different, "The mage needs to be kept secret, so everyone's identity is hidden here." Points can be exchanged for rare materials and high-level scrolls, which will also help you reach higher levels, so be careful of rarity. Students must use points to fight each other, and the speed of obtaining points is relatively slow, which is also to protect everyone. ”
Siegel believes that if he said that, the atmosphere of the whole college would be completely different.
Learning knowledge is important, but even if you learn all the skills of the previous magic god, does it mean that you can become a qualified magic god? Siegel recalled what Chanem once said: The will of the gods will eventually be assimilated by the priesthood, so the divine fire and the priesthood need to find a new will to reopen the cycle. Therefore, the pursuit of innovation is the essence, inheritance is actually secondary, and the struggle is the least important.
There's something wrong with these lamp gods, Siegel thought to himself. He had personally created more than thirty lamp gods, and if you count the use of similar techniques to create magic spaceship subbrains, this number can be in the triple digits. It's unusual for a perpetually calm, dull lamp god like the Academy of Magic to be created, because it's actually more difficult to create traits that don't have a character. Most mages would rather choose a lamp god with a character flaw than make a lamp god like a puppet. The lamp gods of the Three Peaks Pagoda are chattering and greedy for money, and most of the lamp gods of Heim's collar are chattering and like to pass on all kinds of gossip. The mages understand that no one is perfect, so having this flaw is the only way to get closer to the true biological soul.
"What happens when you cast spells and abilities on the Lamp God?" Siegel asked in a low voice.
"As part of the Academy of Magic, attacking the Lamp God is equivalent to attacking the Academy, and points will be deducted. The lantern god did not think that he had betrayed himself, but still answered sincerely.
Siegel nodded, waited for the gnomes to leave, and then turned back to the room. Anna tried to tell him to go to the copyroom to earn more points, but all he got was a big back and a closed door.
"I don't attack you. The door blocked out possible prying eyes, and Siegel said to the god of lights, "I want to learn how to make the god of lights, so I'll practice it with you." ”
Use the Force Field to trap the Lamp God and nest an anti-magic force field within it. Siegel dismantled the lamp god's chest and began to analyze the runes in its body.
Every second, a point disappears. Seeing this, Siegel took a deep breath and used his mana to shake time and space.
The real room was shaking, like an earthquake. Other students came out, puzzled that this could happen. This place is protected by a powerful magic enchantment, and the ground is as hard as steel, how can it suddenly shake? Generally speaking, magic towers are attached to powerful and stable enchantments, even if thousands of miles around them are swallowed by earthquakes, the ground around the magic tower will still remain in its original state for more than ten miles.
As mentioned before, the elementals are very active here, and casting spells will do more with less. This is not the same as the high elemental concentration of the Myr Core, which only provides infinite stamina and expands the size of elemental spells, but does not make the spell's effects stronger like it does here.
This time, Siegel stole out for a full twelve hours, three times his normal ability.
There is nothing wrong with the design of the lamp god itself, the nine lamp gods belong to the same body, and although their strength decreases after separation, they will still maintain psychic communication. They answered the question by relying on a special link that led directly to the third level of the magic tower.
In other words, the third floor of the Magic Tower must be a library of books, a place to store all kinds of knowledge. The god of lights relies on the ability to answer quickly and querily.
So far, so normal. Siegel then set his sights on the core area of the Lamp God, where the character and soul traits of the Lamp God were determined. Using the penetration and separation ability of the four-vein divine arrow, Siegel opened the surface circle and deepened the analysis. He only glanced at it and saw the problem: a separate rune circle wrapped around the core of the lamp god, obscuring its original personality.
This is a rune circle that uses more prophecy spells, including some seeds of legendary spells. Completely parsing it out can be a lot of work, because a lot of time means a lot of points. Seegal could only make superficial observations, and he found the seeds of rules such as foresight, warning, distortion, and illusionary presentation.
While these four seeds were able to combine many spells, in the current situation, they had been able to confirm Siegel's suspicions: it was indeed manipulated, and Riele was the most likely. Anticipating something similar to the Academy of Magic, he left some kind of sapient spell. Whether the Divine Fire relies on golems, lamp gods, undead spirits, or elemental bodies to manifest its will, Lie's spells will attach to it, making the whole game move towards the cannibalism of mages.
If a mage thinks too much, he will be more worried, and if he is more wise, he will be suspicious. As soon as you make a move on the initial impression, the situation will snowball. Liele has been the god of magic for so many years, and he has a very accurate grasp of the character flaws of the mage. I remember that he once said that as long as he is a mage, he is under his management, and he cannot get out of the palm of his control. Siegel now understands what was going on.
While there was still plenty of time to steal it, Siegel began to operate on the god of lights. He used the four-veined arrow as a knife and began to peel off Liele's spell as if it were slicing a tumor in a human body. There is a connection between the nine lamp gods, and Siegel cuts and Liel's spell while relying on the spell information transmitted by the other lamp gods to regenerate. Siegel thought for a moment and cut off the connection between his lamp god and the other lamp gods, leaving only it to communicate with the mind on the third floor of the magic tower.
For this, he was deducted two hundred points. (To be continued.) )
