On the side opposite the door of the pillar, there is a gap of more than one person, more than two feet wide.

Ruibo walked into the gap and stood in the center of the pillar.

Just as he was wondering what would happen, he suddenly felt that his body was being held up by an unknown force.

Rebow felt that he gradually left the ground, the tables, rocking chairs, and the cabinets, and everything gradually moved away from him.

Seeing this situation, Ruibo was both nervous and uneasy. He had never experienced the feeling now, a feeling that was like flying in the air.

Ruibo opened his eyes wide and wanted to understand what was carrying him to float into the air.

But there is nothing to see, no shelf, hook... nothing is it, he is floating in the air himself, just as the air suddenly becomes as heavy as water, so that it can make him float.

Ruibo rose higher and higher, and just as he was immersed in the anxiety and joy of flying, his eyes suddenly lit up.

All the scenery around changed suddenly.

What is presented in front of you is an endless forest, and the dark green canopy is like turbulent waves, and you can't see the end at first sight.

The sky was filled with dark clouds, and an angry lightning flashed from time to time, and the place where the lightning fell immediately rose.

But the rain was so heavy that the flames had just reached the canopy, and before they could ignite the dense canopy of branches and leaves into an inextinguishable torch, the pouring rain had wiped out all these things that could burn the entire forest.

‘The scenery is pretty good! Kid.’ The old voice came from behind.

Ruibo woke up suddenly, he took a step back and looked back.

Behind him was an old man with a beard.

The old man wore a tall and sharp hat on his head and a reddish-brown robe.

The snow-white long beard and the deep wrinkles on the old man's face all indicate that the old man is the oldest person Ruibo has ever seen.

The old man's wrinkles were different from Mr. Hyde's.

Mr. Hyde was baptized by wind and frost for many years and was so wrinkled.

But the old man in front of him had wrinkles like spider webs covered with all the skin exposed in the air, and each one was a mark of time.

Although Ruibo did not know much about this mysterious old man, he had secretly guessed the identity of the old man.

A magician, the old man must be a magician.

Although Ribo had never seen a magician before.

In fact, he had never heard anyone around him say that he had ever seen a magician.

Magicians are too rare.

However, the description of the magician has long been deeply engraved in everyone's heart.

A strange-looking sharp-cornered hat, a loose mage robe, a magic wand in his hand, and a big pot. This is the legendary image of a magician.

And except for the fact that the old man in front of him did not have a magic wand, everything was in line with the legendary image of a magician.

‘Are you a magician?’ Ribo said in a trembling voice. He was not afraid, but too excited and excited.

Indeed, it is really rare for an ordinary person to be able to see a magician with his own eyes.

The number of these people with magical powers is so rare that most of them do not like to show up in public. Legend has it that these magicians focus on their magic research all day long and never talk to outsiders.

‘Yes, I am a magician, or to be more precise, an alchemist.’ The old man smiled and said, ‘I see you are soaked and uncomfortable.’

As he said that, the old man grabbed a handful of silver-white powder from the sleeve of the robe.

He raised his hand and sprinkled the powder on Ruibo.

Ruibo was extremely nervous and his body was even trembling. He didn't know what the magician was going to do and whether such a move would hurt him.

Ruibo's worries are absolutely reasonable. In the legend, magicians are all strange guys. They often like to turn the unlucky guys in the story into frogs or squirrels.

Ruibo secretly prayed that he must not meet such strange and dangerous guys.

Just when he was in fear and uneasy, countless bubbles emerged from him, and these bubbles became more and more, eventually covering all of Ruibo in a bubble.

Ruibo could clearly feel the foam penetrated into his clothes, sucking away the rainwater stained on the clothes, and the foam that had absorbed enough moisture suddenly turned into a few, and then sucking away more moisture.

Soon Ruibo felt that he was already dry.

The foam slowly fell on the floor, piled up into a ring, and Ruibo stood in the center of the ring.

‘That’s great, you’re such a great magician.’ Ribo exclaimed.

‘Can you get rid of this rain be considered great? Hahaha, I can’t accept your praise.’ The old man said with a smile.

Ribo stepped out of the bubbles and asked, "Great magician, for you, this is nothing great, but for ordinary people, it is definitely an incredible innovation."

‘I was also an ordinary person, and all magicians were once ordinary people. You can also become a magician. Would you like to learn these magical knowledge?’ asked the old man.

‘Really? That’s really great. I never thought that one day I would be lucky enough to become a disciple of a magician. ‘Ribo said with great excitement. He really never had any idea of ​​this, because it was almost impossible to meet a magician himself, let alone let these most picky people in the legend take a fancy to them and accept them as disciples.

However, after the excitement, Rebow suddenly thought of Mr. Hyde, Ector and Kelle's elusive skills. He did not want to deceive the old magician who valued him so much.

Reibo said anxiously: 'But I have a work that I have to do. I wonder, have you ever heard of Lord Caveyere Egret. He is a civilian nobleman and the leader of the thief union in the south of Franx. Although, I don't know what my real task is, Mr. Hyde spent a huge price on this task, and I don't think he would be willing to let me quit easily.'

‘Hed?’ The old magician was obviously stunned. He frowned: ‘Your child is very good. He actually told me all this. You could have learned magic with me for a while before telling me these things, but you didn’t do this. Very well, I know something about Mr. Hyde, and I can even say that we have worked together. At that time, he was not a nobleman. Can you tell me what he wants you to do? Although you certainly don’t know all the details, you always know some clues. Tell me, maybe I can help you. Hyde knows me, he knows my power, just as I know Hyde, we two can form an agreement that both parties are suitable for.’

‘I never knew the specific situation. Mr. Hyde just wanted to train me to become a nobleman, a nobleman named Rebau Byrndit.’ Rebau said.

‘Ribbeau Byrndit?Ribbeau Byrndit, this name is a bit impressive. ‘The old magician kept muttering this name repeatedly, frowned and thought hard. After a long time, he suddenly realized: ‘I know what Hyde wants to do. It should not be just him who planned all this, but also Mail Dofen. There must be Mail Dofen, haha, they are all old friends.’

Rebow heard it inexplicably. He didn't know how the old magician mentioned Mr. Mail Dowfen, but the old magician knew that Mr. Hyde and Mr. Mail Dowfen, two people who were completely in two societies, were old friends, so the old magician did know something.

Just as Ribo wanted to ask the old man in detail, the old magician obviously saw through what Ribo was thinking. He said gently: "I have roughly guessed that Mr. Hyde wants you to complete the task. This matter is extremely important to many people. I don't want to stop Hyde's plan, but your mission is extremely dangerous. Since you are the person I value and you are destined to be, I will definitely help you. From now on, you will be my student. You can tell Hyde that you are a disciple of Massek. Hyde will know how to take care of you. When your mission is over, come back here to learn magic from me."

‘Teacher, you obviously know everything. Can you tell me something? I am always worried about this matter.’ said Ribo.

'Hide didn't tell you, probably because the time is not yet ripe. He will tell you everything. He wants you to complete the task and must tell you everything. Don't be anxious now.' The old magician said: 'By the way, before that, I have something to complete.'

‘What’s the matter? I will do it hard.’ Rebe answered hurriedly, but he couldn’t guarantee that his power would be helpful to a magician.

The old magician pointed to the storm and thunder and lightning outside and said, "My student, you saw all this. Don't you think it's not normal for lightning to be so dense?"

Ruibo has indeed felt that so many powerful lightnings are concentrated in this forest that cost dozens of miles. Usually, when thunder is lit, one or two lightning strikes on the ground, which is rare to see, but the lightning here is not only dense but also recorded to fall to the ground. The burnt trees can show everything.

If this question was raised by Etek, Rebol would definitely discuss this issue from the perspective of natural phenomena and geography.

But now the question is a magician, and it is obvious that this abnormal phenomenon is caused by some mysterious force.

Ruibo asked: ‘Is it because of magic? Magic summoned thunder and lightning to this land.’

‘Yes, it is indeed so’ The old magician is quite satisfied with the intelligence of his disciples. He continued: ‘You may not know that the area where lightning gathers is a magic forbidden area. In it, the distribution of the thunder spirits and the condition of the magnetic field is completely different from other places. In it, it will become quite difficult for us magicians to act. You must know that the difference between us and ordinary people is that we have strong mental power, but in that magic forbidden area, powerful mental power will attract a large number of thunder spirits. The thunder spirit is the most destructive elves in nature. A large number of gathering thunder spirits can destroy everything.’

‘So you need a normal person to help you get into that area?’ asked Ribo.

‘Yes, I need you to find a book for me. You probably haven’t heard of the name Kaimiltidi. He is quite famous in the magic world. Kaimiltidi is the best magician in the era of Francs III. He lived two hundred years old. He once served as the teacher of Francs IV, teaching him all the knowledge except magic. He was also the teacher of Francs V. If it weren’t for his firm disagreement with the public office, the position of prime ministers in these three dynasties would be him. However, Kaimire

Like all the magicians who are obsessed with magic research, Teddy gave up his reputation and status. His achievements are great. As a great alchemist, Kelmeltid invented many things, such as gaseous life bodies, flying ships, stone statues, etc. Unfortunately, all his research results have been lost. Kelmeltidid never received a magic apprentice. In the last ten years of his life, he traveled around the world. No one knew where his final tomb was placed, and no one could even be sure.

It is necessary to know whether Kaimiltid was really dead. People just regard the end of the year when he disappeared completely as the day when Kaimiltid died. In the following hundreds of years, for any magician, it was an extremely tempting job to find the magic notes left by Kaimiltidid in the deep mountains of Babron during the following hundreds of years. A magic note left by Kaimiltidid in the early years was found in the deep mountains of Babron. There was a huge stone statue mentioned. His Majesty Franc IX ordered the Magic Association to do its best.

He originally planned to completely defeat Delizhi with this super weapon, but the idea was stupid. The human wisdom was not invincible. The wisdom of a human was more powerful than any magic weapon. The sixteen giant stone statues were almost wiped out, and only one was completely subdued and transported to the capital Palin, the Delizhi, to build a Victory Memorial in the center of Palin, and the giant stone statue became a monument in front of the hall.

‘Although the giant stone statues failed, they gave Deli heavy blows in the early stage of the attack. The six most solid and difficult-to-destructible cities from Deli to the border were stepped into rubble. Therefore, the results of Camiltidi's magic research became something people were looking for. When I was in my twenties and was still a magic apprentice, I followed my teacher around various countries. Finding Camiltidi's magic notes became my lifelong dream, but forty years passed and I got nothing. Later, I worked in the Magic Association of the capital Francis

For nearly twenty years, my dreams had already been shattered. It was at that time that I knew Hyde and Daofen. Five years ago, Daofen told me that there was such a strange natural phenomenon in this forest. At that time, he just said it casually, but this aroused my great interest. Originally, I didn't expect that all this would be associated with the treasure of Kaimiltidi that I had been looking for for a long time. When I saw the situation here, I immediately guessed that the abnormal gathering of these thunder elves was because a special magic array was laid here.'

‘This magic circle is extremely interesting. It not only refuses the magician to approach, but also obviously constantly replenish itself by absorbing the energy of lightning from the air regularly. This is an exquisite magic device that can be automatically maintained and replenished. I read all the books and found no similar examples, but this is indeed a masterpiece of the magician. Interestingly, this strange phenomenon has never happened here in the hundreds of years since the death of Kaimiltidi. And this situation has come out.

It's only a few years now, and the only thing that happened during this period was that a baron of Pitton built a villa in the heart of this area. The sudden appearance of this phenomenon could never be accidental. In my guess, maybe the baron accidentally opened the treasure of Kaimiltidi, but for ordinary people like him, this treasure of innumerable value is not known to him. Unfortunately, for a magician like me, that place is forbidden.'

‘Do you want me to enter the forbidden area to help you find the treasure left by Kaimiltidi?’ said Ribo excitedly. This was too easy for him. He was going to that place, and as the old magician said, the villa was Baron Lonna's home and the destination of his visit this time.

‘Yes, that’s it. I know this is quite dangerous. When the first treasure of Kymitti was discovered, the five magicians and hundreds of workers who participated in the excavation died. Kymitti cast a special curse on his magic notebook. It was a special spell that could emit a powerful spiritual fluctuation. This mental fluctuation was enough to kill all creatures. No magician or ordinary people could withstand this kind of attack. But don’t worry, the magic world had a way to deal with it. Kymitti’s treasure

After being discovered, the Magic Association spent more than 20 years to finally find a way to deal with this mental impact. The magicians created a strange gem that could absorb the energy of spiritual magic. When I realized that what I saw was Kaimiltidi's second treasure, I transformed it for three years and made such a gem. Look, the old magician made a random move. After a while, a metal butterfly flew up from the downstairs. A sapphire ring hung on the butterfly's slender feet.

The old magician took off the ring and handed it to Ruibo.

The ring was made of an unknown metal. It was very light and shining with silver. A circle of words that Ruibo could not understand was engraved on the inner wall of the ring. The front of the ring was inlaid with a huge sapphire, which was the largest gem that Ruibo had ever seen. The surface of the gem was cut into a peculiar five-sided shape.

Through this crystal clear sapphire, you can clearly see the spells engraved on the bottom of the ring. The long spell is like a book.

‘Natural sapphire is a very useful mineral. It can be used to augment the gathering and calling of water elements and wind elements. It is the most commonly used raw material for making water and wind magic wands. Sapphire also has a characteristic. Although it is far less useful as a medium for casting spiritual magic than emerald or cat's eye, it can effectively absorb the energy of spiritual magic. Sapphire is often used to store magic energy. If you see a person who wears a sapphire ring or jewelry in the future and obviously has a preference for sapphire, even if he is not a magician dress, you should also pay attention, and he is likely to be a magician.’ The old man said.

‘Can this ring protect me from harm?’ asked Ribo, ‘Then how I use it, I don’t have any magic.’

‘No magic is needed. Just sign a contract with this ring and let the ring admit that you are its owner, and then the ring will protect you. However, this is far from enough for the powerful magic of Kaimiltidi. You need to tightly attach the sapphire ring face to the thing that Kaimiltidi made, and then turn the sapphire ring face with your other hand three times. Yes, just turn it gently, remember to turn it clockwise three times, the ring will suck away any possible

Magical energy that is harmful to you. But there is another thing you have to remember, this ring can only be used to absorb spiritual magic, water magic and wind magic energy. Once it is sealed with other types of magic, don’t try to absorb it with this ring. It is equivalent to exposing you as a target to the attacks of those powerful magic elves. The earth element can instantly turn you into a rock, and the fire magic element will not need to explain the consequences of the attacks of you.

‘So how do I know what kind of magic it is?’ asked Ribo.

‘If we are the magicians, we can directly see the magic elements gathered together. However, you can’t do it. Ordinary people can’t feel these. You can only sense the magic elements through the ring I gave you. When you get very close to those magic items, the ring will emit a slight light. Red light represents fire, orange light represents earth, yellow light represents earth, green light represents wind, blue light represents water, and black light - don’t think I’m joking. If you are not lucky, you may see black light, which is a mark of dark magic. White light represents sacred magic, purple light represents spiritual magic. In addition, the ring emits any other color of light, which is an extremely dangerous proof. The farther you hide, the better.'

‘I understand, only green, blue, and purple can absorb it. If anything else, I won’t touch it. Is that true?’ asked Ruibo.

‘Yes, don’t touch it, the great magician Kaimiltid was an extremely dangerous guy even in his time.’

‘So what kind of light will lightning magic emit?’ asked Ruibo.

‘Summoning lightning means gathering thunder spirits. thunder spirits are a kind of wind element. Don’t worry, this ring can be absorbed completely.’

‘That means, I won’t have to be afraid of lightning in the future, right?’ Ribo said excitedly.
