American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker
#326 - Insights, communication, soul connection
…A deity named Titan created life on this planet and transformed it according to their wishes…
…The Night Elves, dwelling in an area named the Well of Eternity, mastered a magical energy called Arcane. They used Arcane to build their homes, cast spells, transform the environment, and reshape the land, establishing the Kaldorei Empire…
…The Night Elves became increasingly addicted to the power of magic, and some Elves who advanced further than others on the path of Arcane called themselves Highborne, to distinguish themselves from those who feared Arcane energy and were not as talented in it.
One day, the Elves' unrestrained abuse of Arcane magic attracted the attention of the demons in the Twisting Nether connected to the Well of Eternity. The Dark Titan named Sargeras crossed the cosmic distance and lured the Highborne, establishing a portal in Azeroth…
…The abnormality of the Well of Eternity caught the attention of some Elves. The Burning Legion began its invasion through the established portal and engaged in a massive war with many races, known as the War of the Ancients…
…The portal was closed by the combined efforts of many races, but the magical reaction interfered with the energy stability of the Well of Eternity, causing a massive explosion that shattered the land. Continents broke apart, and the Night Elves and other lifeforms suffered heavy losses…
…A new empire created by the Highborne was established in the Eastern Kingdoms. They used a vial of water from the Well of Eternity to create the Sunwell. The new empire was named Quel'Thalas, and they called themselves High Elves, continuing to study forbidden Arcane magic…
…A mysterious dragon named Bakal awoke and began to wreak havoc across the continent. He established a once-powerful Dragon Empire. However, this empire was soon overthrown by the resistance of the great Guardian Dragons, Elves, and enslaved races such as Trolls and Humans. Bakal, known as the Tyrant King, was jointly expelled and sealed in another dimension, guarded and reinforced by the Guardian Dragons…
…The collapse of the Dragon Empire did not mean the end of the Dragon War. His three powerful dragons, the Mad Dragon Hessel, the Ice Dragon Skasa, and the Evil Dragon Spitz, continued to resist with their legions, seeking to rescue the Tyrant King…
…The Dragon War lasted for thousands of years, eventually ending with the Tyrant King Bakal being exiled and sealed, the Mad Dragon Hessel entering a dormant seal, the Ice Dragon Skasa trapped in one place, and the Evil Dragon Spitz exiled to the Void.
In this war, the previously scattered humans advanced triumphantly, revealing astonishing potential and power after uniting. They established the first human empire, Arathor, on the ruins of the Dragon Empire. Thoradin, the first king of the human empire, established an alliance with the Elves and learned their Arcane magic…
…The magical city of Dalaran was established…
…The Council of Tirisfal, composed of Elven and Human mages, was established to deal with the remaining dragons from the Dragon War and the scattered demons that followed due to the abuse of magic. The Guardian system was established…
…Dwarves appeared and established their own nation…
…The Arathor Empire split into seven kingdoms: the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the wizard kingdom of Dalaran, the Kingdom of Alterac, Stromgarde, the Kingdom of Stormwind, and the Kingdom of Gilneas…
…The Council of Tirisfal selected Magna Aegwynn as the new Guardian…
…
Snap!
The book was closed, and a woman with a gentle face rubbed her forehead. Around her were various historical texts and a few magic scrolls.
"Looks like you've finished reading?" A female voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Aegwynn, you should learn to knock." The woman looked up at the woman who walked in from the door, exuding powerful magical energy, and said with some helplessness.
"Agatha, I thought you didn't care about these things." Aegwynn didn't mind. She knew Agatha wasn't angry. She came to sit opposite Agatha, somewhat impatiently saying, "Now that you've finished reading these boring history books, let's continue exchanging magic.
I always thought that the magic of Dalaran and the Elves covered everything, but I never imagined that there would be a witch faction like yours.
Honestly, Agatha, you, being self-taught, are much more accomplished in magic than I am. I had never heard of your name before.
If those old men in the Council of Tirisfal knew of your existence, I'm afraid they would eagerly force me to abdicate and give way to you."
"Have they already started to go that far?" Agatha glanced at Aegwynn opposite her. This was the first mage she had deeply interacted with after coming to this world. The other party seemed to favor her particularly because of her female identity and held deep affection for her. This should be out of identification in terms of identity and gender.
Agatha also used this to establish a connection with her, and as time passed, she constantly strengthened this connection. With Aegwynn's help, she was able to learn more intelligence and information in a very short period of time, even some profound magical knowledge.
Especially the latter, which made her immerse herself in it, almost forgetting to eat and sleep. The Arcane magic of the Elves and Dalaran was no less profound than the magic she possessed. Moreover, the application of natural elements opened a new door for her.
She herself was good at some natural magic, and the magical knowledge of this world made her feel like a fish in water, allowing her to go deeper in the path of magic.
According to historical records, the Burning Legion also possessed some kind of powerful energy and magical factions. She was now even somewhat grateful to that Luke who sent her here.
At least he loosened her magical bottleneck, and even without merging with Hilder's soul, she had the confidence and direction to catch up with Gu Yi.
"What do you want to get from me this time?" Agatha sighed helplessly, asking as if she couldn't do anything about Aegwynn.
"Let's talk about your magic. Your magic doesn't seem to have the kind of hidden dangers we worry about." Aegwynn looked at Agatha with interest. Arcane magic was certainly powerful, but abuse would cause the surrounding space to become fragile and easily attract demons lurking in the Twisting Nether or other strange monsters. However, some of the magic that Agatha shared with her, she had verified, did not seem to have this hidden danger. Even the energy used was not external energy, but more like tapping into some kind of power within oneself.
"No, the powerful magic I possess is, strictly speaking, more dangerous than yours. The energy that drives them has an owner. Either you are a believer of the energy owner, or you are an energy thief stealing its power.
For the former, your soul, knowledge, everything, including the coordinates of your location, will belong to the other party. For the latter, you have to play hide-and-seek with the other party, and don't let them catch you," Agatha changed her tone. "Of course, if other energies with similar attributes can replace it, a witch with vast magical knowledge and a deep understanding of spells can modify it."
"Is the owner of the energy similar to the relationship between gods and believers?" Aegwynn was thoughtful. Agatha's description reminded her of a sample that could be compared.
"You can understand it that way." Agatha was only stunned for a moment before immediately understanding what Aegwynn was referring to.
She reminded, "So if you don't have absolute confidence, don't easily use those magics that may attract prying eyes. But this world has a strong enough barrier. As long as it doesn't exceed a certain limit, the hidden dangers can still be controlled if you are just learning and researching. The premise is that you are not confused and seduced by those magics. They all carry strong pollution."
She had experimented in this world, and many magics had failed because they could not borrow power. If the other party's energy was regarded as a network, then this was an area where the network did not cover.
However, there was another energy here that could be borrowed, and it could be used after the spell was modified.
"Is it because the aura of the energy owner is stained on it? So when using them, one will inevitably be infected and bewitched by the other party's aura," Aegwynn said thoughtfully.
"That's right." Agatha was also very surprised by Aegwynn's comprehension ability. At least, talking to a smart person was more comfortable than talking to a stupid person. Especially as someone who liked to teach, she was even more demanding of intelligence and talent.
"Teach me. I believe my power is enough to control it and prevent myself from being affected." Aegwynn was currently at the stage where her self-confidence was strongest. She had solved Sargeras, eliminated a large number of demon soldiers, and her own magical power had accumulated to an extremely deep level after living for nearly a thousand years.
The only pity was that those power holders in the Council of Tirisfal seemed to have completely lost their patience with her and were eager for her to hand over the position and power of the Guardian.
Aegwynn had parted ways with them unhappily last time, but without a doubt, the selection of a new Guardian was a foregone conclusion. She didn't like those people, but that didn't mean she would completely tear her face with them.
Of course, a new Guardian could be selected, but Aegwynn planned to personally conduct the selection herself. To this end, she already had a well-formed plan in her mind.
Agatha's appearance was an accident, but a pleasant one. The other party's power was also strong enough, and her magical knowledge was quite extensive, especially since the other party, also in a human body, had lived for at least several hundred years!
The annual rings engraved on that soul could not hide her perception and investigation.
This meant that if she could learn the other party's magic, she could still return to her current peak state again through reconstruction after losing the power of the Guardian.
So after learning about Agatha's unique magical faction in a certain exchange, Aegwynn had the idea of [becoming a disciple]. During this period, she constantly provided Agatha with the historical texts she needed, as well as some profound magical knowledge scrolls, in order to test Agatha.
Now she had determined that Agatha did not have the idea of keeping her knowledge to herself. If she could pay an equal price, Agatha would not refuse her desire to learn the other party's magical faction.
Could she pay an equal price?
Just thinking about this question made Aegwynn laugh involuntarily. As one of the most powerful mages on this planet, if she couldn't come up with equal knowledge and price, then she firmly believed that no one else could.
Just as Aegwynn wanted to break this tacit understanding, she suddenly found that Agatha's face changed, and she hugged her head and howled in pain.
Surging magical power emerged from Agatha's body, like an energy bomb about to explode, making Aegwynn's hair stand on end.
The brilliance of Arcane magic flashed in the room one after another. Aegwynn used various protective magics and useful magics to protect and reinforce herself and the surroundings at almost the first moment, buying herself some time before starting to chant more powerful spells.
She could see that Agatha's state was not right at the moment. If she wanted to help her, she needed to find the other party's lesion, or suppress the other party with powerful force, forcing her to break away from this state first, and then slowly explore the cause and carry out conditioning.
What Aegwynn was doing now was to suppress and control the other party first. An out-of-control mage might be terrible, but in her cognition, magic needs calmness and reason to exert its greatest power.
Agatha naturally didn't understand Aegwynn's psychological fluctuations. At this moment, she only felt a tearing pain in her soul.
This kind of pain reminded her of the soul connection with that Hilder!
When the contract was established, their souls had already established a connection, but after coming to this world, they were in a separated state.
Agatha didn't know where Hilder was. All along, even the connection on the soul was vague, and she couldn't feel the other party's existence at all. But now, this connection suddenly became extremely strong.
Their souls seemed to be fused together, but they were forcibly separated by some kind of force. The tearing pain made her couldn't help howling in pain.
At the same time, scenes from Hilder's perspective, through the soul like chaotic pictures, turned into memories and poured into her mind.
Groups of strange humanoid creatures with green skin, creatures with horns on their heads, like demons in historical pictures, constantly flashed in her mind. Agatha couldn't understand what those pictures were saying, but she could clearly know from her soul that the other party was planning something.
The final picture that flashed in her mind was a dark green giant dragon roaring to the sky.
Then the soul connection began to break. The intense tearing pain also disappeared like a tide. Agatha was covered in sweat, as if she had exhausted all the magic in her body, and gasped for breath with a look of horror.
PS: Thanks to the reward from the silent peak classmate.
PS1: Let’s look at it as a parallel world. There may be many differences. I’m dizzy from filling in the chronicle.
