Regardless of the Rigal Continent and the Crescent Continent, there is no creature in the entire world that does not have magic power in its body.
This ability, which is still difficult to analyze to this day, is manifested in the form of magic in some gifted individuals - they are able to trigger a certain phenomenon in a way that even they cannot explain to achieve their own goals.
The common misconception about magicians is that spells are the source of their ability to cast spells. Throughout the ages, many people with evil intentions have tried their best to steal the magician's manuscripts, thinking that as long as they understand these, they can also have the ability to control wind and rain.
Even if people use the same language, there are still many things that are difficult to understand each other. For a character like a magician who is always shrouded in fog, he must have a deep understanding of this.
"The spell is not directly related to the release of magic. Even if ordinary people learn the spell, it has no meaning!" This is how they explain it to ordinary people in all public occasions.
But the people didn't buy it at all.
"If that's the case, then why do magicians always block their own knowledge?" Based on their so-called "common sense", they don't care about the other party's starting point, and they have never thought about understanding the deeper meaning. Just clinging to this point, wave after wave of folk speculations have repeatedly strengthened the people's understanding that the power of magicians comes from spells.
The final result of all this was the formation of the Rigal Magician Association and the formation of the saying that "magicians hide in ivory towers to do research."
Selfish, hiding, unwilling to hand over one's knowledge. This concept has been firmly attached to today's magicians and has become a high hat that they cannot take off. But our Mr. Sage knows that, whether it is runes or pronunciation spells, if you have to say them, it is more like a kind of pulling.
It is true that a few ancient texts that are rare and difficult to master contain some inexplicable power, but the reason why magicians often arrange incantations into chanting forms similar to songs is that the meaning lies in their accuracy. Guide the magic power to achieve the effect you want.
Warcraft that are suddenly born due to certain circumstances in nature lack such strong guidance. In addition, the total amount of magic power contained in their bodies often far exceeds that of civilized races. Therefore, the birth of Warcraft throughout the ages has always been accompanied by records of celestial changes. It is also true that So true.
Without control and spreading naturally, the turbulent flow of magic power will not only cause many phenomena that are beyond the control of the owner and may harm others, but also cause a great physical burden on the owner himself due to being in a spell-casting state for a long time.
"Ahem..." Sakura sat with her knees together, while the Luoan girl lay on her knees and coughed softly.
Her entire face was red, and she looked translucent under the firelight and white hair.
"It's very hot. Is there nothing I can do?" The former oiran of the swamp village, who had only been together for two or three days but already fell in love with this outsider girl, raised her head and looked at the sage with a little worry.
But this time even Henry couldn't do anything.
The runes on his body no longer light up.
Mira is not an ordinary person who is sick and has a fever. Her physical condition is related to the surrounding environment.
After realizing that the situation had changed, the sage immediately asked the two of them to stay in the hut, and took out the runestones and constructed it with Claymore forged from dragon bones and core iron. It was the defense technique of the druids. Mode.
His reaction was not unpleasant. The two poor horses that were not protected could not bear it and fell to the ground in an instant. If the sage had been slower, it would have been the same fate for Sakura and Mira.
The defensive barrier is enough to allow Sakura, an ordinary person, to move freely, but our Luoan girl ignited the mana pool during her past trip to the east coast and became a magician.
Even if she did not improve after that because she was more inclined to fight with swords and lacked suitable opportunities, the mana pool pulsing near her heart still made her far more sensitive to magic than others.
The barrier can only be weakened, but it cannot completely dissipate the harmful energy permeating this strange land.
The sound of flapping wings and the activity of some large creature in the distance is a threat that anyone can recognize, but even this land is strongly resisting human presence.
This is not their world. The light cast by the red moon in the sky makes the entire land dyed with a mysterious color. The trees were still the same, but except for the small thatched cottage protected by magic, when Sakura, who was still awake, cast her eyes on the trees on the red earth outside, she was shocked to realize that they seemed to be baring their teeth.
"This is not an illusion." She said to reassure herself, but it was still difficult to calm down the uneasiness in her heart.
"This can't continue like this." The sage said. He did not pity the rune stones used outside, even if they did cost money. Together with those used to deal with monsters before, these hidden items from my old friend Bai Xue are only about the size of a fingernail. If the Magician Association is found, one piece can already be sold for a high price of 300 imperial gold coins.
Integrated magic formula, portable magic circle. That's what the elves call this gadget.
In magician terminology, a basic magic circle is divided into two components: "line" or "channel", and "point" or "node".
The so-called "thread" is the material with magic guiding properties needed when carving the magic circle. This is usually a metal such as copper. After that, gems containing magic power must be used as the energy source - that is, "points" - so that as long as the magic circle itself is not damaged and the magic power in the gems still exists, then the magic circle can operate on its own without the caster. . And if you use the right materials, it will be more effective than individual spellcasting.
But all this takes a long time. Chanting a spell is naturally faster in comparison, but when someone draws a sword and stabs you, you can't ask the other person to pause and give you 10 seconds to breathe in and prepare for the sound, right?
Human magicians often have a group of melee servants with their families, and as an elite alliance of other races, the Druid organization, even the individual magicians in it have very superior melee capabilities. It is for this reason.
But it's one thing to always fight with a sword and outdo others. It's also a waste of resources if you don't make good use of your own magic knowledge. So based on this concept - they developed this method of directly inlaying mithril text as runes on gems containing magic power with extremely precise means, so as to achieve the "thread" of magic guidance and the material that provides magic power." The "points" themselves form an integrated, high-cost portable emergency array.
Due to the limited weight, Henry only brought part of it for the trip to the Moon Country.
He is a sage, a person with sufficient knowledge who can give wise advice to even a king, making a city or a country prosperous. But even he doesn't have the ability to predict the future.
Henry was able to prepare based on what he knew and what he had experienced. These preparations can often prevent them from being at a loss if something happens, but it does not mean that they can deal with all situations perfectly.
The hastily activated miniature magic circle was one meter and a half long and was made of magic material higher than Mithril. Claymer was used as an amplifier to form a buffer space that enveloped the small thatched cottage.
The world itself does not welcome outsiders like humans who break into the rift, and its poisonous atmosphere serves as a barrier to the sages' alert responses. But the Druid's defensive array is a passive magic that works against hostile things. It resists harmful toxins and evil objects that are difficult for people to notice, but it cannot defend against theoretically harmless things.
Magic itself.
What caused the white-haired Luoan girl to have a high fever was the magic power itself.
All this happened a few hours ago. Seeing the bonfire getting smaller, the Luoan girl habitually picked up the firewood placed next to her and wanted to add it, just because the thought "Make the fire bigger" came to her mind at this moment. Don't put it out", he stretched out his hand to add firewood, but a huge fireball was thrown out, causing the originally burned-out bonfire to shoot up to the sky with a "Bang!!".
Although they did not lose their only shelter due to Henry's emergency rescue, and the sage used the remaining portable magic circle to suppress the Luoan girl's spellcasting ability to prevent her from hurting herself or Sakura next to her. But after accidentally releasing the fireball, Mira fell to the ground and started to have a high fever.
"What's going on?" Sakura said to Henry. Even if she couldn't help, she hated the fact that she didn't know anything. And the man in front of him obviously knew something.
The unknown scares people, and after hearing him say a bunch of incomprehensible things in such an inexplicable place, she now feels like her mind is in chaos.
But this girl is at least ten years younger than her, and the girl she likes very much is now suffering from a high fever. As a mature adult, no matter how uneasy I am, I cannot reveal it.
The unique reserve of the Moon Country makes Sakura look as calm as a sage. Although this is not due to abundant knowledge and grasp of the environment, but due to personality and growth environment, it is still better than having Aiji or Galeva. It makes people feel more comfortable to have such a frizzy and stunned person next to them.
"Magician, should you call this Onmyoji?" The sage glanced at her and then began to explain: "The process of casting a spell is a special way to make oneself temporarily become the center of the power of heaven and earth."
"To put it in layman's terms, their own spiritual power is important, but in fact they often borrow the power of heaven and earth."
"So the true legends about these people are often the ones that 'driving a big river' rather than 'creating a big river out of thin air.'"
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" He tried to explain in layman's language, but due to the obscure knowledge, he still had some doubts. Sakura pondered for a while and then answered: "You mean, Onmyoji is not the restaurant itself, but a middleman who transports goods from the restaurant to sell to others?"
"Yes." Her ability to understand was extraordinary. Henry nodded and added: "And their own so-called spiritual power is like the car carrying the wine, or the back frame."
"The bigger the cart, the more wine it can carry. But -" the sage raised a finger and said: "If the carrying capacity is insufficient, but it is based on one's own greed, or is forced to bear too much What will happen if there are too many heavy objects?”
"...Ah." Sakura showed an expression of sudden realization: "So she."
"Yes, the spiritual energy content here is more than ten times that of the original world. And because of the unconscious spell cast just now, the magic power in her body is now constantly acting as a 'delivery truck', mobilizing the surrounding environment for her. The spiritual power is too huge for that.”
"The best I can do is suppress it. If I want to stop, I can only rely on her to do it herself."
"But it's too difficult for novices." The sage rarely patted his forehead with his hand, looking a little distressed. This was an extremely rare situation for him who didn't often show such emotions.
"Are you like a newbie pulling a truck full of cargo downhill? He can't stop on his own. He can only run away desperately or be run over by his own car..." Sakura stretched out her hand and touched it. The Luoan girl lying on his knees had a red and hot face, and her expression was very complicated under the swaying light of the fire.
"Leaving here and cutting off the source of the burden will solve this problem," Sakura said. She is worthy of being a person in a high position. Even if she loses everything due to overconfidence, her ability to climb to the second position in Swamp Village is inseparable from this acumen.
"Yeah, but this involves a bigger problem. After leaving this thatched cottage, we can't go far before we become like those two horses."
"Are you in a dilemma?" Sakura chuckled and shook her head.
She looked down at Mira, then looked up at the sage. The foreigner obviously knew something about the situation, she could tell. Although he seemed to be talking to himself at first and spoke in a language she didn't understand, Sakura could guess by observing his words that this tall man who didn't look like a human was suspicious of the situation and human factors they were in. related.
Some people did something to put them in this situation.
He knew something that he didn't know. Although he was interrupted due to unexpected circumstances, Sakura was keenly aware of the value of this knowledge.
"You said before-"
"Roar--" The roar sounded again, interrupting her inquiry. Sakura retreated quietly as if she was frightened, but this huge roar, which was no different from before, had a different meaning in Henry's ears.
"It's a wail."
"Something else came in just like us." The sage turned around and said this in the language of the Moon Country.
"Hiss--"
"Kill, kill!!!"
In the strangely bright red wilderness outside, more than a thousand warriors with bloodshot eyes and crazy expressions were surrounding several giant salamander-like monsters and killing them randomly.
