He Wen finally figured out that Xia Liya might have really beaten the Lord of the Forest a little badly back then.
So many years later, the forest lord was still extremely scared after seeing Shalia.
After crawling out of the hot spring, the Lord of the Forest had been huddled behind He Wen, looking at Xia Liya carefully. Although her eyes were still cold, her constantly trembling legs had exposed her fear.
Shalia, on the other hand, had no time to care about her. Now the witch discovered something more interesting, which was the runes mapped on the wall deep in the mine.
Without the help of the forest lord, Shalia waved her hand gently, and the runes appeared on their own.
At this time, the girl was observing these arcane runes everywhere, seeming to be understanding the mysteries within them.
"How about it?"
He Wen asked.
Shalia didn't answer, but looked at the runes carefully again, then looked at He Wen and smiled bitterly for a while, and finally shrugged.
"Sorry, Master, the elves who planted these runes must be proficient in arcane magic. I am actually not very good at the elves' magic."
He Wen asked strangely after hearing the elf's magic.
"Didn't it mean that elves can't use magic?"
"Alas, my naive master, you still haven't gotten rid of human thinking patterns."
Xia Liya came close to He Wen. She was petite and only reached He Wen's chest. At this time, she raised her eyes, looked at He Wen with a hint of temptation and said.
"Do you want to know the real history? Just satisfy me and I will tell you~"
Seeing Shallya approaching, the forest lord was so frightened that she quickly backed away and hid behind a stone. Then she stuck her head out and observed the actions of the two people.
He Wen sighed, then raised his hand and rubbed Shalia's head.
"Woohoo~"
Shalia purred like a kitten.
For some reason, ever since she was treated by this man in a strange way in the Royal City of Taris, her body has become dependent on him. She is extremely eager to be touched by He Wen. Even if she touches her head like this now, she still can't. It will feel so comfortable that you can't help but make strange noises.
"Are you satisfied?"
He Wen asked with a wry smile.
"Hmm~Thank you Master."
Shalia seemed to be in a good mood, and she rubbed her head on He Wen's hand again.
Seeing that this demon girl who had almost killed her own body with a snap of her fingers was so well-behaved at this time, the forest lord felt more fear or respect for He Wen in his heart.
"I don't know why in the past few hundred years, everyone has assumed that elves don't have magic, and I don't know why the elves have disappeared in large areas in this world. But Master, do you know that the most proficient person in the world who has used magic has been Apart from demons, they are elves."
He Wen was slightly surprised, but only slightly, because he had probably guessed something.
After all, in any world, elves should be a race with a very high affinity for magic, and this world is no exception.
Now that he heard some opinions, he thought this should be reasonable.
But I just don’t know what happened to cause the elves to encounter such major changes in these hundreds of years.
"Oh, by the way, there are races that don't know magic."
Shallya looked at He Wen with a smile again, as if she was expecting something.
He Wen raised his hand and rubbed Xia Liya's head again, but this time Xia Liya brought her face up, with a hint of evil in her eyes.
"This time, touch here, it feels so comfortable."
Her voice made He Wen suddenly feel a little embarrassed. He thought about the first time they met the witch and smashed him to death with a staff. Now she has changed so much, but it seems that she is equally indifferent to others, including herself. What went wrong while treating her?
Be sure to give her a thorough check-up when you have time.
Thinking this, He Wen took back his hand.
"Go on."
Unexpectedly, while He Wen and Shalia were talking there, Shirin, who had been motionless, slowly walked to the side of a rune. She raised her hand and touched the rune lightly, and then her eyes reflected There was a light blue light like that rune.
"In this world, the race without magic is...human beings."
"Humanity???"
This time He Wen didn't expect it at all, because based on what he knew during his time living in Taris King City, humans have the most powerful magic association in the world.
The current president of the Magic Association is a ninth-level great magician. What does ninth-level mean?
There are ten levels of magic attainment. Levels one to three are magic apprentices. Levels four to six can call themselves magicians. At this point, they can also join various adventure teams. Level seven is a mentor who can accept disciples. Level eight is a master. Basically Being absorbed by the country as a person in charge.
A few eighth-level magicians also rejected the country's invitation and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests or various strange places to practice their own medicine.
The ninth level is another qualitative leap. They no longer even need to use a medium or a staff to release ordinary magic. They can basically cast spells without chanting, according to what He Wen learned.
There are only three ninth-level magicians in the world.
One is the current president of the Taris Kingdom Magician Association.
The second one is the princess of the Northern Kingdom.
The third one is very mysterious. Basically no one knows his information. It is said that he was once a professor at the Magic Academy. After breaking through the ninth level, he disappeared from everyone's sight. So far, no one has caught the slightest trace of him. .
One can imagine how terrifying a ninth-level magician is.
A tenth-level magician? It seems that it has never appeared before, so why is there a tenth level? Because people learned from the notes left by the first-generation Saint Erza that she met a tenth-level magician on the way to travel with the Hero King Patrick.
But that's all it was mentioned in the note, but because it was written by the saint herself, people believed in the existence of a tenth-level magician.
So now Shalia says that humans once didn't know magic. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?
"The one over there."
Shalia did not directly answer He Wen's words, but looked at the Lord of the Forest behind the stone. The body of the Lord of the Forest immediately trembled after being called.
"What..."
Although he was very reluctant, the forest lord still leaned out half of his body and looked at Shalia tremblingly.
"You must have lived a long time, right?"
"...It's only six hundred years, it's nothing compared to you."
Good guy, He Wen is a little speechless. The age of the things he encounters in this world is often calculated as hundreds.
"I...I know."
"Then you talk to the master, lest he think I'm deceiving him again."
After listening to Shalia's words, the forest lord hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at He Wen and said.
"When the Demon King died, humans and elves concluded a permanent peace agreement. As a symbol of friendship, the king of the humans married the princess of the elves. To celebrate, the elves used another power besides arcana, that is, The power of the demonic spirit vein is shared with humans, allowing humans to also become physically capable of mastering magic."
"..."
There was no need for the forest lord to continue, He Wen's fists were clenched tightly at this time.
If what the Lord of the Forest said is true, the mistakes humans have committed are not just as simple as covering up history.
They even betrayed former allies and relatives who taught them how to use magic.
