Humans' magical knowledge comes from elves.

During the period when the Elven Empire ruled the entire continent, elven magic developed to its peak. The camp of elven magicians represented by the "Council of Clear Springs" also has several legendary magicians with great prestige, and has the powerful power to move mountains and seas, explore the moon and pick stars, and even shuttle planes.

Believing that magic will protect the empire forever, the elven mages have no qualms about passing on some rudimentary magical knowledge to their human apprentices to assist in their own magical trials. The fate of these apprentices was tragic, the knowledge they gained was fragmented and incomplete, and the foundation they laid was very superficial. Elven mages use these apprentices as "humanoid crystals", and the erratic flow of energy often causes them to explode to death.

However, the creation of the human magic system is the result of the efforts of these apprentices, who are constantly at risk of sudden death. They eagerly absorbed the knowledge of elven magic, secretly communicated with elven magicians behind their backs, and formed the first camp organization of human magicians, the predecessor of the Violet Council. These human apprentices unreservedly share their gains and perfect their own magical system. And it was passed down and developed from generation to generation until the eve of the fall of the Elven Empire.

The destruction of Idasil stemmed from the desire for eternal life of the "Council of the Clear Springs" and the inducement of the evil gods of the underworld, but the rule of the Elven Empire was overthrown because of the resistance of humans and the infighting of the elves.

The elven infighting was due to the conflict of religious beliefs, but the resistance of the human race broke out under the leadership of the magician. With the help of this power, human beings united with other races oppressed by elves to completely overthrow the once glorious elven empire, and gradually became the master of the continent.

After this. The human magic system is constantly evolving, and an endless stream of schools is blooming and flourishing. The mage camp, which reached its peak under the vigorous development of the Violet Council, became a powerful force to dominate the continent again after the Elven Empire, but it fell apart under the dictator's stubbornness.

The rise of the religion of the gods, the thorough division of the regional state. The amount of mana is gradually decreasing. The Violet War a thousand years ago was the last effort of the magicians, and its failure declared that the magicians could no longer reach their former glory, and most of the existing magicians left for the island of Thurland, and the rest could only survive under the suppression of the Church of Light. However, their quest for the ultimate mystery of magic never stops

To this day, the essence of magic lies in energy, which is the consensus of all magicians, but the basic principles are still hidden in the fog and are not well understood.

Misty swamps.

"The essence of magic is energy," Allegri's voice was a little hoarse. "But the use of energy is very different, and this is the essential difference between the various schools of magic. ”

"That's what you're trying to say?" Illo looked up in surprise, "I thought you wanted to give me a science about the history of magic in the continent." ”

"I'm trying to figure it out," Allegri snorted, "Since Lord Augustus has been able to study the 'Thorn of Oblivion', its knowledge of energy compression must be far beyond what I know about the magic system. ”

"yes. Illo was not very interested in magic and yawned.

"You really don't know any magic?" Allegri glanced at him. "Human magic is based entirely on elven magic, and it is said that elves are born to unleash rudimentary spells. And you even have magic patterns on you. ”

"How did you see that?" said Illo, covering his neckline. Covering the skin with light magic lines, he said helplessly, "The magic system of the Elven Empire is basically inherited by the lowland elves. The highland elves are warriors among the elves, and they are basically martial arts that have been handed down, and there are very few magicians in the tribe. ”

"The Low Elves are too xenophobic. It's impossible to gain their magical knowledge," Allegri shook his head, "Otherwise, I'd like to go to the Moon Song Forest for advice, and I'm sure I'll be able to gain something." ”

"That can't be helped," Illo laughed. "The Low Elves have always seen themselves as the rightful heirs of the Elven Empire, with a deep-rooted class consciousness, and it's good that Ephlora is willing to talk to you, a pariah. ”

"You're the slut," Allegri said, glancing at him and frowning, "Hurry up, tell me how the 'Thorn of Oblivion' works." ”

"Yes, it doesn't mean that you know the principle of the Dao," Illo spread his hands, "Basically, it's a layer of restraint that suppresses the chaotic and manic spiritual power in it, and I don't know the rest." ”

"It's certainly not that simple," Allegri shook his head, "it must be the Ordered Structure Energy that can act as a constraint, and the hedge it creates when it comes into contact with the negative chaotic energy can turn you into an idiot." ”

"I'm really going to become an idiot when I'm done with the Thorn of Oblivion," Illo chuckled, "and when the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to raise me for the rest of my life." ”

"Don't worry," Allegri nodded obligatorily, "not only will I raise you for the rest of my life, but I will also continue your bloodline, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes," Illo nodded repeatedly, "what a tribulation, Brother Allegri, you are righteous enough." ”

"I think there are a lot of female ogres in the Stonefang tribe who like you," Allegri continued with a mused groan, "You don't have a problem with half-blood ogres, do you?"

"Bah!" Illo replied.

"I'm kidding you," Allegri grinned, "but I'll strike first in a moment, Illo, and don't use the 'Oblivion Thorn' until you have to." ”

"I'll save it," Illo nodded, "don't worry, I don't want to be an idiot. ”

"But in that case, you'll be much cuter. "Every time I'm with Illo, Allegri can't stop complaining.

"I'll fight," Illo looked at him expressionlessly, wondering, "why hasn't Evelola come yet?"

No wonder he had such a question, they had been waiting here for most of the day, but they still hadn't found any trace of the raiders. It was already late at night, and the density of patrol sentinels had thinned out, except for the distant construction site of the Temple of Souls, where ogre laborers had been working overnight by the light of the campfire, and there was a faint sound of clanging and shouting. Other than that, there was no other movement.

"They won't be quietly destroyed by the Lord of Demons, will they?" assumed Allegri.

"There's nothing unusual going on in the Soul Temple," Illo kept observing, "It's impossible for me to maintain a 'sensitive touch' without alerting the King of Evil Spirits." ”

"Well," Allegri asked, nodding, "by the way, Illo, do you have anything to eat there, I'm starving." ”

"Didn't you just eat just now?" Illo dug around for a long time and finally found the last piece of jerky, swallowing, "There is still a piece left, but when you say that, I am hungry......"

Allegri gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Forget it, then you can eat." ”

"Really give it to me, it's delicious. Illo laughed, sniffling.

"Eat what you want, what so much nonsense?" Allegri snorted, turning away.

"Haluha," Illo smiled and tossed it over, "I actually have another piece." ”

The two sat opposite each other, munching on cold and hard pieces of meat, and there was silence inside and outside the woods.

"We're not going to let her go, are we?" Allegri finished eating after a devouring meal, "what if she goes home to sleep?"

"No," Illo swallowed his last bite, "I think she's quite fierce, especially when you choke on her back." ”

"Uh......" Allegri scratched his head, "Sure enough, this cousin's personality is still well understood by my cousin." ”

"Get out—" Illo scolded, suddenly looking up and around, the tips of his ears twitching.

"What's wrong?" Allegri wondered.

"There was a faint cry in the distance," Illo frowned, "but it's fleeting, and I'm not sure. ”

"That's ...... It's better to be prepared. Allegri nodded with a deep groan, and got up slightly to move his body, his joints were a little tingling after a long period of lurking.

Illo stroked the bone bow "Soul Hunting", and also flexed his legs and feet.

"If there is any change in the moment, we will rush over at once, so that they will not suffer any great casualties," Allegri whispered, "but let me try the spell first, and if it really doesn't work, pull them away." The Thorn of Oblivion is just the next of the best. ”

Illo nodded silently, half-crouched up, and remained ready to strike.

In the fog, a hint of wind rose.

This invisible and intangible wind walked through the swamp, and its light steps were like fine drumbeats, gradually approaching the location of the original Stone Tooth Tribe.

It walked, paused, stopped, obscure fluctuations seeped into the foundation, but far away from the middle of the temple. Tents were erected there, and it was the place where the sacrifices and chieftains of the ogre tribes controlled by the Lord of the Evil Spirits rested. And in their arch guards, it is the essence of the king of evil spirits.

After hesitating for a moment, the breeze tentatively moved closer to the core area, and also set up several magic arrays near the tent. It tried to maintain a cautious posture for fear of alarming the terrifying Evil King.

When it was finally arranged, it breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stepped back, but suddenly felt stiff.

An infinite chill crept into her body, making her soul tremble. As a cover, the night gradually dissipated, and the figure of the elven girl gradually appeared in the mist.

Opposite her, gray-black smoke rose to form a figure suspended in the air, staring at her coldly. (To be continued......)
