Chapter 63 Just like the evergreen pine
The power of magic is the power of the world.
The power of existence that is everywhere in the world is controlled by people with their own souls and then transform it into everything they want to achieve. In theory, this omnipotent technique is the original form of magic.
The original casters were sages who were born with powerful souls and intelligent minds. They noticed the so-called "spirits" world that other people could not detect in the wilderness. They believed that this was a gift from heaven, and used their talents to gather these "spirits" and transformed them into "spirits" that they could use, and then either transformed out clear water out of thin air or lit a strong fire to help their tribes spend the ancient years better.
Psychic Warlocks, this is their current name. This profession that relies purely on spiritual and soul talents is no longer the mainstream of the magic world, but this does not hinder their noble status. In the Western Mountain Kingdom, there are three major Psychic Warlock families. Their bloodlines can be traced back thousands of years and have never been cut off. Although most of the descendants of Psychic Warlocks are rare, the long-term inheritance gives them these extremely powerful power and power.
Now, the mainstream of the magic world is to resonate the soul through special methods, thereby manipulating the free energy in the world and completing what you want to do.
Using perception to discover, using wisdom to understand, and using spirit to manipulate, magicians are not an easy profession. In terms of hard work, they are no less than warrior knights who need to practice day and night. In order to better understand the nature of elements and magic, they need to calculate and analyze them all the time so that they can combine the spells they want in an instant when needed.
Of course, the above is just the basic skills of becoming a magician. Before that, what ordinary people need to do is to awaken their talents and to "perceive" these energy.
Ivan Makarov, the son of the hunter Andre and the grandson of the scholar Edward, is doing exactly this kind of thing now.
In the test hall of Nissie Snow Mountain, Winter Castle Academy, the first batch of nearly 100 young children or teenagers were sitting at their own tables, frowning at magical instruments of different shapes in front of them.
The test of magical talent is not like the story. Just take a crystal ball and touch it. Ivan originally knew this, but now, he couldn't help but complain: "How could it be so troublesome?!"
In front of him was a square black box as big as half a table, and in the middle of the box, there was a flashing red aperture, moving slowly.
The name of this magical instrument is called [Magic Beginner Perception Maze]. Because it contains extremely thick elemental magic elements, people with certain magical talents will ignite a small magic light ball inside the box because of their concentration of spirit. As the name suggests, inside the box is a small three-dimensional maze, and the tester's goal is to move the magic light ball that represents them to the center of the maze.
This test also takes into account elemental affinity, spirit, intelligence and attention duration, so it is called the perception maze of magic beginners. Generally speaking, those who can pass this test can successfully become a high-level silver mage. Even if it is not good, they can advance to silver and have no possibility of being trapped in the apprenticeship realm.
Ivan's elemental affinity is indeed good, which means that his red light ball is very bright, at least a few rounds brighter than a few children of his age around him. However, it is obvious that his attention is not up to standard. The fluctuation of the size of the aperture is very violent. The more anxious the situation is, the more obvious it is.
Because of his grandfather's education for several months, Ivan knew that his current mentality was indeed not good, so he simply cut off his aperture, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.
My sister's talent is much better than myself. She was taken away by her tutor a few minutes ago and chose courses to specialize in the future. As an older brother, he can't pull too much.
After completely calming down, he stared at the black maze again, lit his own aperture, and then began to quickly follow the complex passages in this three-dimensional maze and head towards the central area.
This time, it went very smoothly.
Joshua stood on a high platform in front of the test hall, staring at the children who were thinking hard or anxious in front of him, with a calm look in his eyes, while Ying and Lin followed him, watching the scene with their masters.
The newly built platform had a clear scent of paint. After taking a deep breath, Joshua turned around and walked towards the corridor leading to the top observatory of the academy, and the gods followed closely.
The owner looked a little unhappy?
While walking quickly, Ying noticed this. She turned her head quietly and looked at her younger brother. Lin nodded slightly, indicating that she had discovered it.
Why?
The same doubt arises in both hearts, which is indeed a difficult thing to understand.
Today, Winter Castle Academy officially opened, with hundreds of young and talented young girls coming here to enroll and become the power of Moldavian leader. Their future is the future of Moldavian, full of youthful enthusiasm and hope.
In such an atmosphere, would the owner still be unhappy?
Shaking his head, both Ying and Lin felt something was very wrong.
Walking step by step, I arrived at the top observatory. Joshua stood at the edge of the snow-covered building, facing the south, looking out into the endless distance, and there was a calmness in his eyes.
Before, he was not unhappy, but just because he saw the hopeful scene before and felt a little emotional.
At the foot of the mountain, several convoys were slowly advancing. Because of Joshua's decree, countless mages and knights used their power to open a wide passage between the Nissie Snow Mountain and the main city. Although this passage would be covered by snow, the signposts that appear from time to time in the middle will not cause you to lose your direction in the vast snowfield.
This passage extends endlessly towards the south, passing through the flying snow in the sky, as if it leads to the other end of the world.
In Joshua's eyes, there are not only misty snow dust among these flying snowflakes, but also countless lingering white mists, which represent the elements of ice and freezing. Every minute and every second, the white magic is slowly increasing and becoming stronger and stronger.
This is certainly because of the blizzard, but also because of the omen before the arrival of the Great Demon Tide. As the area selected by Nostradamus and the strongest magic energy concentration, Winter Castle can discover these slight changes more intuitively than other places.
The tide of devil is approaching and disputes are beginning.
Under the magic tide that swept across the universe, the space-time barrier gradually weakened, the world is about to usher in a new chapter, and the fate of countless people is about to be changed. It was originally rare in a century. Time and space channels that can connect all realms will appear frequently, and exchanges and wars between multiple worlds will become more and more frequent.
Opportunity and disaster coexist, this is the best and worst era. He came to the continent of Mycrov due to an accident, and came to the time when everything had not begun. Now, the prelude to the burning flames has ended, and a turbulent new generation is coming. Joshua knew that he would experience those disasters again and face those old opponents.
At this moment, whether it was excitement or expectation, he recalled the children in the test hall who were frowning but very energetic and full of hope.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The future of these young girls should be as bright as stars, but due to the changes brought by the magic tide, countless disasters will come to them. I don’t know how many people can live to see the rising dawn after more than ten years?
Turning his head, he accidentally saw a pine tree hanging on the cliff halfway up the mountain.
The dark green needles still maintain their original appearance in the whistling north wind and the cold wave of ice. Even if the branches are frosted and the bends of the branches pressing and bending, they cannot affect their standing.
Why do I want to do so much?
Joshua suddenly felt that his previous feelings were a little funny.
When did you become so sentimental?
Shaking his head, he chuckled, which was a slight self-deprecation.
Just like the evergreen pine wood, it needs to be tempered by wind and frost, young seeds naturally have to go through hardships. People are creatures that need hardships to grow. Everything in the future should be part of their lives. I am too worried about these things on their behalf.
No matter how wind, frost, rain and snow are experienced, the seeds will eventually sprout, and tender buds can still break through the stubborn stones and bathe in the sun. Even in the miserable era, Joshua believes that they will definitely be able to break through the haze, grow up, and then stand by themselves.
Ying and Lin also realized that their master seemed to be in a good mood. Just as the three of them were about to leave the observatory and return to the test hall, a wave of time and space fluctuations came.
Accompanied by the flow of dark blue ripples, Nostradamus's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Jothia."
Before the warrior could speak, the old mage who suddenly appeared said with a serious expression: "You are right."
He said it very directly and quickly, and did not give anyone any time to answer: "The dragon disaster has begun."
Dragon disaster?
Ying blinked her eyes, she felt that the word sounded a little familiar, while Lin recalled some of the words that Joshua had said to them. His expression changed slightly and he immediately reacted.
At this time, Nostradamus took out a magic map from his arms. Joshua didn't say much, but strode forward and walked to the old mage.
This is a magic map, just like the map hanging in the warrior's room. The magic on the map can connect it to the database of the Imperial Royal Mage Association and display various information in real time.
Driven by the magic of Nostradamus, this far south map covered with blue and green began to undergo various wonderful changes. First, the blue sea suddenly began to turn red from an island, and then, a short while, dense red dots spread across the edges of all coasts.
"Now, the coastal frontier of the Far South Kingdom has been raided in full swing." The old master said concisely: "This news has spread throughout the continent."
"Is this the current situation?" Joshua certainly understood what these red dots mean. He frowned and said, "Is there any more detailed image information?"
“Of course there is.”
After saying that, with the gathering of magic power, Nostradamus easily projected a detailed image in the atmosphere through the link to this magic map.
The light curtain shows a coast in the far south. In the originally deep blue and peaceful sky, black clouds suddenly appeared. With the sudden surge of turbid magic power is gathering. It covers the sky like a huge tentacle. Layers of blue lightning shine around it. As the clouds roll, countless dense black dots surge out from it and pounce on the shore.
Accompanied by the rumbling thunder, these black figures were illuminated by cyan lightning.
These are all dragons.
Countless crazy dragons with black and purple aura wrapped around their bodies flapped their strong wings, poured out from the depths of the black haze, and then headed towards the kingdom of mankind. They shouted loudly and made a dragon sound that seemed to destroy everything.
However, in contrast, just shortly after the clouds appeared, light columns rose from the ground, piercing through these black clouds like sharp blades, scattering them. Under this huge force, countless crazy dragons that were affected also screamed and fell into the earth and the ocean, turning into scattered pieces of meat paste.
This is the power of the magic circle that has been prepared in coastal cities, the conspiracy of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, and the human kingdom in the far south are not ignorant. They have long retreated most of the people and planned to use these coastal cities as fortresses to delay the spread of the dragon group and prepare for the next counterattack.
When he saw this scene, Joshua couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
Once upon a time, he was also a member of those coastal cities who were dealing with the dragon tide attacks. At this time, he was in the far south and led his team to fight against the infinite dragon beasts.
"Joshya, you're right... These dragons have been planning for a long time, and they have been preparing for at least hundreds of years."
The ** master sighed: "It's another disaster, and fortunately the Empire is ready to deal with it."
But Joshua shook his head.
This is not a disaster... Compared to the things that followed, this is nothing at all.
"This is just a prelude."
He murmured to himself, and then walked towards the corridor leading to the test hall: "It belongs to the world of disputes, the prelude to the new era."
