Chapter 618: If
Or, doesn't it work?
Ivan was a little upset, a little ...... Ashamed. He hadn't even looked at the map of the Demon Continent, and the promise he had made before was just like an irresponsible joke for a child. However, when he remembered that Freya had thought so much about it during this time, he couldn't help but be moved again.
"So, what am I going to do to see Aisha?" he said as if muttering to himself.
The cold despair seemed to fade away in the evening breeze, but that didn't mean he had renewed hope, he just knew very well that he couldn't give up no matter what.
Asa smiled faintly, perhaps mockingly, but his eyes were still not sharp. Ivan thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart jumped.
Why did Asa explain the situation in the Demon Continent in such detail?
Freya's plan won't work, but if they can withstand stronger magic, they can defeat the demon powerhouses they encounter on the way, and they can get through the so-called "disaster land" in Guò...... Ivan held his chin and pondered for several minutes, as if in a trance, as if in a daydream.
"What is the place of calamity?" he looked at Asa, his eyes flickering.
"The Land of Calamity is a mountainous area in the southern part of the continent of Seto. As the name suggests, there are disasters there, there is no vegetation and no water source, erupting volcanoes everywhere, and lava flowing from the ground. Moreover, there are many low-level demons who are not weak in strength entrenched there. Asa explained, "Yes, they are all low-level demons. The Calamity Land is not a place with plenty of magic, and most of the time, a proud nobleman like Evel would not go there. ”
"Oh......" Ivan continued to think. He imagined a place where boiling lava flowed everywhere and the air was filled with volcanic ash that would have been difficult to walk through with human power. But what if you fly over from high in the sky? or. With space magic?
"If it's you, you can pass guò, right?"
"Of course I don't have a problem. Asa seemed to already know what he was up to, "It's just that the way I'm using magic is too easy to get the attention of 'their', and everything else, it's fine." ”
"Then, isn't there a problem with the forest with the strongest Origin Magic?" Ivan asked again. Asa made a point of mentioning the forest. It seems that if you want to find Aisha, there is a good chance that you will have to go to that forest. Obviously, Asa knows much more about the Demon Continent than Freya.
Asa was a little surprised.
"Do you mean mana poisoning?" he pointed to himself, "Haha, I haven't had a problem with mana poisoning yet. My family is very special, although I don't have demon blood, but it's almost the same as a demon hybrid. What's more, a person who can control his magic power with willpower. Its resistance to the original magic is relatively strong. ”
Wait a minute!
It seems that Devany Scherling said something similar. Ivan suddenly remembered that on the first trip to Arcatia, several of them had talked to Devany about the Great Holy War, when Devany had said something like "human beings are very different from each other......
Ivan frowned. What did Devany say at that time? It seems to mean that human beings have different tolerance for the magic of the origin, and some people can use the magic of the demons after training, and their ability to withstand the breath of the demons will be stronger than that of ordinary people.
That's right. How can such an important point be overlooked?
The ability of magicians to absorb the Origin Magic is already stronger than that of ordinary people, right? When using the Magic Channeling Secret Weapon, it is impossible for them not to come into contact with the Origin Magic. And the executor can even buy a small amount of the magic guide crystal from the magic crystal house, and it seems that the alliance also thinks that it is no problem for the executor to have something that will exude the original magic power at any time. Is this because of the natural physique, or ......
...... No, this is the result of Mana Control zhì training.
Of course, talent is also important for magicians. With his own will and spirit, combined with the special structure of the magic crystal and the magic secret weapon, so that the energy of the origin magic power that cannot be controlled becomes controllable, which is not an ability that anyone possesses. The human body cannot absorb and accept the original magic, but the human spirit interacts with that energy...... That's right. Just like Na'er.
When Na'er was still in the circus, due to the abuse of the troupe leader and others, the pain in her heart was absorbed and transformed as a spiritual energy by the "Blood Scythe", and the "Blood Scythe" was a weapon made of magic guide crystals.
At that time, Ivan snatched the "Blood Scythe" from Na'er's hand, and for a moment he also felt the influence of the magic power of the illusion attribute origin. Even if it is not an illusion attribute, the Origin Magic is still affecting human beings, absorbing into human bodies in different ways, and at the same time invading human spiritual world.
Ivan didn't sink into the world of illusions created by the "Blood Scythe" like Na'er at that time, because Aisha reminded him...... He knew very well that it was an illusion, and he had used his willpower to defeat the illusory attribute origin magic of the "Blood Scythe".
As if subconsciously, Ivan turned his head to stare at the wound on his arm.
Now, he has also experienced magic poisoning, what is the feeling of magic poisoning? Such a small wound cannot cause severe pain all over the body, because of the erosion of the original magic power, the body instinctively rejects this unacceptable energy. The fear and despair at that time seemed to be abnormal, and he was not so afraid of seeing Asa that he would not wake up as if his will to live had been suddenly taken away.
Would he really not have woken up without Judith's purifying magic?" Ivan shuddered. Asa didn't just attack him to tell him that his ability to withstand the power of the Origin was still weak, there was something more important...... He had to understand what Origin Mana Poisoning was.
"Isn't it scary?" Asa raised his left hand, the black ring glinting in the strange moonlight, "Although I have never experienced magic poisoning, this thing has always affected me, and sometimes I feel like I can't wake up." ”
"So you-" Ivan immediately remembered the tragedy that had happened on the Ghost Islands. According to the pirate Silver Wolf there, less than half of his pirate brothers, as well as the incapable villagers, survived, according to the description of the Pirate Silver Wolf there, when the small fishing village was "full of pitch black things".
"Huh?" Asa seemed interested.
"Uh, no, nothing. ”
Maybe it was the fear of the black stars still lingering in his mind, but anyway, Ivan didn't want to talk to Asa about it now, and it didn't matter if it was Assa's own will to slaughter the villagers. He took a deep breath and uttered his speculation.
"If only I ...... If you continue to strengthen your training in mana control, will you be able to make your ability to withstand mana stronger?"
Asa watched him silently.
He also plucked up the courage to silently meet the unpredictable pale golden eyes.
After what seemed like a long time, Asa let out a sigh of relief, slowly and solemnly, nodded.
"The human body, after all, has limitations, even if it is a holy demon master with a strong ability to control magic, it is impossible to be like the demon race, the origin magic power is always highly poisonous to humans. ”
Suddenly, a sad look appeared on his face again, and he held up his glass, as if trying to hide his irrepressible feelings with the action of drinking. He looked really sad, Ivan thought blankly. Everyone has a past that they don't want to remember, like an old wound that hurts from time to time.
"I, I don't want to be like the demons, and I don't want to stay in the territory of the demons forever, I just want to see Aisha, at least ...... Ask her a few questions. Ivan hesitated, not because he was afraid of the poisonous source magic, but because he was afraid of touching the wound that Asa did not want to touch. After all, humans are not demons, and he knows very well that he just hopes to be stronger and be able to see Aisha alive. Now that he knows what it's like to be poisoned by magic, he'll be more attentive in the future.
"I see what you mean. Asa put the cup down, he looked at Ivan, and suddenly avoided Ivan's gaze, "I didn't come to stop you in the first place, I also wanted to save Aisha." ”
Ivan froze.
In my heart, I can't tell what it's like. (To be continued......)
