Chapter 36: The Kingdom of Mortal God

Time passed in a flash, and gradually, the old mage finally realized that he still underestimated Leo. In other words, this lowly subordinate servant completely exceeded his expectations, and also exceeded his consistent understanding of an alchemy beginner.

At first, Leo made some inevitable mistakes from time to time, but from the third attempt, he was able to fully enter the process of infusing magic and the blood of the lizard.

However, the final link is indeed quite difficult, and it is extremely difficult to test the control of magic power and the grasp of the timing of adding the blood of the ground lizard.

After five consecutive failures, Leo finally felt some knocks on the door. That is, the injection of magic must be steady, rather slower, and never aggressive. The three materials will spontaneously absorb the magic power, resulting in a fusion qualitative transformation.

After another failure, Leo felt a little mentally exhausted, so he stopped and asked, "Teacher, I don't understand a little, since magic can be transformed into all things, then why do you need to configure magic potions, can't you just use magic power to transform it?"

The old mage shook his head, "Of course not, although theoretically magic power can be transformed into all things, it is generally only a basic substance, with a single nature, and it is impossible to generate a complex material structure such as a potion. Moreover, the matter transformed by magic is very unstable, and it is difficult to preserve it in the material realm for a long time. ”

After a pause, the old mage continued: "You must understand that creation is the realm of the gods, and although we mages can achieve simple creation at a certain level, this is already the maximum that the rules allow. While there are some powerful mages who are able to challenge and even kill gods, as a manifestation of the rules and will of the world, you can not believe in gods, but remain in awe. This is not for God, but for the world itself. ”

As soon as he didn't pay attention, the old mage went off topic.

"God...... Leo was a little complicated in his heart. As a time-traveling person, I have received more than 20 years of atheistic education, and it is really difficult for him to accept that there are almost omnipotent gods in this world.

"We mages don't have anything to ask for in terms of faith. But I still suggest that you choose a deity, even if it's just a pan-believer. Now it's good to say that once you become strong in the future and remain a pure unbeliever, it will be difficult for you to fully integrate into mainstream society. Those guys from the Church of the Gods seem to be holy and religious, but they're actually quite cautious. If you accidentally anger a god and you don't have a backer, even if you are in an alien plane, it is not completely safe. Sending fanatics across planes to retaliate, those guys are no less. The old mage's face was a little ugly, and his tone was not very polite.

Leo secretly wondered if Byron Sr. had been subjected to such treatment when he was younger. However, on this kind of topic, it is not easy to delve into it, so he hurriedly shifted his words and said, "Teacher, I can't understand the concept of plane, can you tell me about it?"

Leo had been trying for two hours in a row, and the progress was remarkable, and the old mage didn't mind letting him rest for a while, so he said, "It seems that you are very interested in high-level things." To be honest, I don't know much about dimensional exploration. It's just that when I was forty or fifty years old, I explored some secondary planes with a few friends. It was arguably the most enriching journey of my life. Well, maybe I can write a memoir in the future. ”

The old mage remembered the prosperous years of his youth, and his heart was a little sad, but he quickly put the past aside and continued, "Now I will tell you about the structure of the multiverse. ”

"According to the 'Space Sage' Luo Ning, in the multiverse, each crystal wall system can be regarded as an independent universe, which is full of many dimensional systems. ”

"The system is centered on the main material plane and is divided into three levels, namely the upper astral plane, the middle main matter plane, the peripheral element plane, the shadow plane and many secondary planes, the lower region and the abyss plane. Kid, do you know what the crystal wall system means?"

The knowledge of the crystal wall system, Leo inherited some from this body, "It is a huge space wrapped in crystal walls, and there are countless planes in it, right?"

"Yes. The place we are in is the powerful material plane with the most balanced matter, the most abundant species, and the highest level of power. Because of the many rules of the plane, many gods have also been derived, who have established the kingdom of God around the material plane, expanded the plane of the divine realm, spread beliefs, and maintained the stability of the plane. ”

The old mage was obviously involved in this aspect, took a breath, and continued to speak: "The slightly weaker material planes are called the secondary, primary, and primordial planes, and there are fewer gods on them, and their powers are weaker. At present, there are many such planes that have been conquered by us, and the gods of our plane have also taken this opportunity to spread their faith in the past, assimilate those planes into our subordinate planes, and elevate their own godheads. ”

"Then our Salou Crystal Wall System, are there any other powerful material planes?" Leo curious.

"Of course, there are some physical planes that are at the same level of power as ours, which are also called powerful planes, and there are civilizations that are able to communicate with each other. For example, although the city of stars and magic was founded by us Gaians, there are many other mages and sages from the main material plane who have studied in it. However, some of the main material planes are very different from our civilization model, they are evil and bloody, and they live by killing and plundering, so plane warfare is an enduring topic in the crystal wall system. ”

The plane war was still too far away for Leo, but he was in a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end, "What about beyond the crystal wall system?"

"This ......" The old mage was a little stuck, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Although Lordaeron has already confirmed the existence of the crystal wall, and there are some methods of super-distance travel, the crystal wall system is too vast. At present, Lordaeron's latest speculation is that it will take at least tens of thousands of years to travel from one end of the crystal wall to the other. Therefore, not to mention that we don't know anything about the world beyond the crystal wall, and even the world deep in the crystal wall still doesn't know much. ”

It wasn't the first time Leo had heard the name, and blurted out, "Teacher, what kind of city is Lordaeron?"

At the mention of Lordaeron, the old mage immediately looked in admiration, "That's a real miracle, the divine kingdom of our mages located in the void! All the most cutting-edge and authoritative magical achievements were first released from there." Mages of all races exchange ideas, study and explore together, and move forward towards the truth we seek!"

Leo listened with a leisurely look and asked, "How can I go?"

The old mage sighed, "If you don't have an invitation, then you must at least become a high-level mage to be eligible to enter." ”

"Then you ......" Before he finished speaking, Leo immediately realized his gaffe, but it was too late to take it back.

"Yes, I haven't been, it's the regret of my life. The old mage was poked in the sore spot, and immediately scolded: "Boy, you have rested enough, now continue!"

"Yes, teacher!" Leo didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly tried to make a potion to treat minor injuries.

............

Two hours later, the sky was gradually starting to darken, and under the disbelieving gaze of the old mage, a bottle of healing potion for minor injuries was finally successfully prepared by Leo.

"Boy, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe you could make it in one day!"

Leo was also quite happy about his success, but he didn't dare to put all the credit on himself, and hurriedly said respectfully: "It's all good taught by you, teacher." ”

"Hahaha, it's not for nothing that you say that. But you're really good at studying alchemy. The old mage was comfortable, and the slightest scruple in his heart disappeared.

"Anyway, he's already a student of mine. Muttering secretly, the old mage turned to the next subject. Leo's progress was so fast that he had completely disrupted his previous schedule, and he had to readjust it.

Old Byron thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any eyebrows, and saw that Leo had a somewhat awkward expression, knowing that he was constantly consuming mental power to control his magic power, and he was close to overdraft, so he said: "Let's stop here today, and continue tomorrow, it just so happens that I also have to study and study." ”

"Good teacher. Leo was indeed a little overwhelmed, but he still staggered towards the nursing room.

The old mage was stunned for a moment, and said strangely, "Why are you going?"

Leo turned his head and replied weakly, "I'll clean up inside, those guys, I'm afraid it's time to finish digesting the food." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot about that. Since you want to learn from me, don't do this work anymore. The old mage casually opened a note, took out a badge that allowed him to enter and leave the real room, and continued: "Go down and find a servant to take over your work." ”

As soon as he heard that he could completely liberate himself and concentrate on learning magic, Leo was naturally happy to see it. However, he soon remembered that Gutierrez was dead, and the first floor must be replaced by the chief servant and reshuffled.

"Well, it's good to get John in the real room, so that I can take care of him and avoid being bullied, and maybe let him learn magic as well. Isa, his father seems to have some prestige and doesn't need my care for the time being, but I can test her to see if she has the talent to learn magic. ”

Sensing that the future was bright, Leo took the note and badge, but before he could go out the door, the old mage called him back again.

Molded out a metal ring, the old mage said: "There is my personal mark on it, and you will carry it in the future, whether it is to requisition servants or extract materials, you have a high authority, and it is too troublesome to save everything from having to be approved." ”
