The first people to settle in the Lake Lienia area were a race called the Stargazers.
They created various magics by observing the stars and studying falling meteorites.
These 'stars' containing magic are called pyroxene, and the spells cast through pyroxene as a medium are called pyroxene magic.
Among them, the magicians who were most enthusiastic about exploring this knowledge established a university hall on the island in the middle of the lake, the Rhea Lucalia Academy of Magic.
In addition to the Magic Academy, there is another descendant of stargazers living in this land.
The Kaliya clan.
They are also excellent magicians, but unlike the academics, they treat magicians and warriors equally, and their own magic is faster and more elegant, similar to the swordsmanship of knights.
The two schools of magic continued to develop independently for many, many years without interfering with each other.
Until [Full Moon] Lenara appeared.
She is the leader of the Kallia clan and was originally a traditional pyroxene magician.
When she was young, Lenora traveled across the border, following the paths of the stars. During a journey, she encountered a mysterious moon, and thus learned the strange and powerful moon magic.
Ancient stargazers believed they could glimpse their destiny in the stars.
Therefore, Lenara, who is a descendant of the Stargazers, followed the guidance of fate and conquered the academy with powerful moon magic. She became the leader of the academy and led the Kaliya clan to conquer all directions, unified Lienia, and was crowned. Become the full moon queen of the Kaliya dynasty.
Later, she became aware of the dangers of source magic and prohibited spellcasters from studying it.
Many magicians who insisted on exploring the 'origin' were expelled, including the two original founders of the academy.
However, exploring the origin is the foundation of the academy. The meteor and comet magic that the academy mainly teaches are the fruits of the process of exploring the origin.
Therefore, Lenora's ban made many academy scholars dissatisfied with her rule.
When the time came, they immediately raised the banner of rebellion, imprisoned Lenara, and hired many knights to fight against the remaining Carian royal family.
These knights called themselves cuckoos.
Cuckoos are cunning and vicious birds. They will lay eggs in the nests of other birds. The hatched chicks will crowd out the chicks of other birds and occupy the nest, allowing the bird parents to unknowingly take other people's eggs. Children raised.
Therefore, the Cuckoo Knights are not completely loyal to the academy. They are just mercenaries who receive money to do things.
Maybe one day, they will kick out the academy and become kings on their own.
The Academy is well aware of the true nature of the Cuckoo, but simply laughs it off, as the Academy has no interest in earthly power and pursues the mystery of its origins.
The Cuckoo Knight is just their pawn to remove obstacles on the way to the origin.
Although both sides use each other, their current goal is the same, to eliminate the Kaliya royal family.
It's just that Kallia is not that easy to deal with. They are entrenched in the walled city on the north bank and have set up a powerful magic circle around them. Once they set foot on it, they will be dealt a devastating blow.
The academic faction, which had been unable to attack for a long time, had no choice but to confront it and set up a garrison on Lienia Avenue.
Until the time when the Faded One returns, there is still no winner between the two.
As a candidate for the next King of Elden, Li Ang intends to speed them up as a contribution to the prosperity and stability of the border area.
"You guys wait for me near the Kaliya Walled City. I'll go to the academy first."
When Finley heard this decision, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Her intuition told her that Leon wanted to cause trouble again, just like he had killed Greg without a word before.
Se Lian hesitated and said: "The entrance to the academy has been blocked, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter."
Li Ang smiled and said, "With you as my wife, there must be a way."
Se Lian pinched her chin out of habit and thought: "You can get in with the pyroxene key, but I don't have it in my hand either."
"As far as I know, there seems to be one on the island between the church area and the crystal forest."
Li Ang added: "In addition to the key, there is also a dragon, right?"
"Yes." Se Lian looked like you knew everything and still asked me.
Finley said in surprise: "Dragon! That thing is not easy to deal with. I suggest you try another method."
Se Lian shook his head: "If you want to enter the academy from the outside, this is the only way."
After a moment of pause, she said very seriously: "Or become a god like the Eternal Queen and use brute force to destroy the magic restrictions on the college gate."
Li Ang laughed a few times: "Oh, teacher, you are so funny."
If he had the power of a god, why would he go to the academy? It would be better to just go to the underground world and find Monger.
"Let the dragon be a dragon. It's not a big problem. It just so happens that I haven't killed a dragon yet."
Li Ang untied the Valkyrie and returned it to Finley: "Take care of her. I will go find you tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Finlay felt that he was talking more and more strangely, as if His Highness was his private property.
"I know, please pay attention to your safety. If it doesn't work, come back early and we'll find another way."
I can't stop it, I can only give you a few more instructions.
Li Ang agreed wholeheartedly, and then quickly disappeared into the thick fog. It seemed that without the weight on his back, he was faster.
Serian looked at the direction in which he disappeared and murmured to himself: "Weird person."
"That's right!" The female knight imitated her and rubbed her chin: "I think so too!"
On the other side, Li Ang quickly moved towards the goal.
Lake Lienia is called a lake, but it is actually more like a large wetland. Except for some places in the center of the lake, the water level in other areas will be below the ankle. Many types of trees and plants grow above the water, and stone pavilions, ruins and crystal clusters emitting faint light can be seen at intervals.
Although it was night, the visibility was pretty good because of the shining stars overhead.
As Li Ang moved forward, he observed his surroundings carefully, and accidentally or intentionally discovered a blue-white figure in the stone pavilion not far away.
He deliberately ignored it.
After a while, the figure appeared in the next pavilion.
Li Ang still ignored it and continued to move forward.
It wasn't until the fifth pavilion that he estimated that the other party's patience would be exhausted by him, so he slowly approached, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.
"Hey, why is there someone here so late at night?"
Standing on the railing of the stone pavilion is a mysterious girl with four arms. She wears a huge wide-brimmed witch hat and a thick fur cloak. She has slightly messy short blue-white hair. Her facial features are small and delicate like a doll. Her right hand is closed. The eyes are painted with strange lines, and the left eye is open, as deep as a dark moon.
"The first meeting, an unknown traveler who is not involved in the law."
"I am the witch Lena."
"Fate has brought us together here. Can I know where you are going?"
Li Ang's eyes were as clear as the night tonight, he openly appreciated the charm of the Moon Princess, and replied with a smile:
"I'm going to find your mother."
This chapter has a lot of popular science, but it’s not enough if I don’t write it. I’ll update it with a thousand words tomorrow.
