Great Elf Sage

"Speaking of which, who is that adult you have been talking about?" Nolan asked while checking Simon's physical condition. .

"Lord Arno is the lord of Stuart City and the father of Miss Aria. He was also..." Simon suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?" Nolan also stopped working and asked.

Simon lost consciousness for a moment, sighed, and said:

"Sigh... There's nothing I can't say. Lord Arno is a very great man. He single-handedly promoted the Federation of Radiance that united almost all the city-states in the south, and once led the Federation of Radiance to almost unify the entire southern continent... The Federation of Radiance at that time was really It’s so nostalgic…”

"It's a pity..." Simon pondered for a moment and continued:

"...It's a pity that that's all in the past. Nine years ago, just when the Radiance Federation was about to capture the northern city-states and make the last resistance to unify the continent, rebellions began to appear in the east and south of the rear area. When Lord Arno's eldest son Aman When Da and his second son Elbert led their troops to suppress it, those guys revealed their conspiracy!

That rebellion was completely planned. When the army was dragged in the north, they deliberately created a small rebellion in the rear. When Lord Arno's two heirs were separated from the army, they suddenly launched an attack and ambush them halfway and killed them. Already...

Lord Noah was devastated after losing his two sons. There was a lack of command at the front, and a greater rebellion broke out in the rear. Several cities in the west were suddenly completely unified by one person, forming a kingdom and taking the lead in resisting the federation, and then the south and east. , the north, kingdoms have been established one after another, and those kings are all high-level officials of the former federation...

It didn't take long for the entire federation to fall apart. Lord Arno, with the opportunity obtained by his former military commander at the cost of his life, led the last army to escape back to Stuart City...

Although Stuart City is still the most powerful city-state in the entire south, under the joint suppression of traitors from all around, life has become increasingly difficult in recent years..."

After Simon finished telling the story sadly, he put on a serious expression and said to Nolan:

"If it hadn't been for Miss Aria in recent years, Stuart City might have been annexed by those traitors long ago. And Miss Aria said that the magic she studied would be the key to saving Stuart, although I don't I know magic and so on, but I know that like swordsmanship and martial arts, it is the power that can make people stronger, so I will follow the guidance of the sword master ten years ago and come to find the Elf Forest...

Mr. Nolan, your dragon's blood bathing ritual made me see the mystery and power of magic, and convinced me that the eldest lady's decision was right. Therefore, I implore Mr. Nolan to come to Stuart City without asking you. I can impart all my knowledge about magic to you, but if you can give me a few words of advice, I would be very grateful..."

……

Looking at Simon hurriedly leaving towards the rapids plain in the north, Nolan put his right index finger on his chin and thought to himself:

"Teaching magic... How could I refuse when there are so many humans offering me the opportunity to be my guinea pig~"

……

There are supernatural powers in this world. Nolan was convinced of this from the moment he was reincarnated and born as a baby:

There is a magical power in all things in nature. Whenever Nolan closes his eyes and starts to focus on himself, he can clearly perceive a green light that represents life, like water flow, in his body. It is also like the veins of air flowing.

By the time he was five years old, Nolan was already able to use this supernatural power, which the elves call the "power of nature", to communicate with all living things in nature just like ordinary adult elves. From that time on, Nolan began to Research this magical power that seems to him to be magic.

When Nolan first met the World Tree, the mother of creation of the elves and the protector of all living beings, at the age of six, during the conscious communication with the World Tree, he learned that there was no existence in this world that matched Nolan's vision of 'World Tree'. The definition of magic is something that has an orderly, gradual and systematic upward ladder and can change reality that can be controlled by an individual. However, according to the definition given by Nolan, Yggdrasil believes that Nolan calls it 'magic' Things are not unattainable...

Although Nolan was a little disappointed that the world did not have a power system that met his definition of 'magic', it did not discourage him. Not only was he not discouraged, Nolan even felt very excited.

As Nolan himself defines it, "magic" is a supernatural power that has an orderly, gradual and systematic ascending ladder and can be controlled by an individual. See, Nolan is convinced that the "magic" he defines can be realized in this world and no one has yet succeeded.

There is really nothing more interesting to Nolan than being able to personally establish a complete system of supernatural powers, and having the rules he created can be regarded as truth by all those who pursue greatness in later generations.

……

After bidding farewell to Simon, Nolan returned to the laboratory on the top of the mountain and began his last experiment before leaving here and returning to the Elf Forest.

"...it seems wrong to regard the four magic attributes of water, wind, fire, and earth as a whole. We should try to split the four magic elements and add other elements for experiments..."

"...The natural power of elves does not seem to be an independent attribute magic power. It is a combination of a certain life magic power and other multiple attribute magic powers..."

"...The results of this experiment on the combined effect of dragon blood's mental power and magic power are a bit interesting. It should be able to be improved into my standard spell..."

After making preparations and calculations, Nolan sat cross-legged in the center of the laboratory and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

The messy thoughts in his consciousness gradually faded away, and dots of light emitting different colors of light appeared in Nolan's chaotic sea of ​​consciousness - they were the mental power controlled by Nolan's consciousness.

The light spots began to shift and leave traces. These trace lines of different colors intertwined, combined, and separated, gradually showing the prototype of a complex pattern.

As the pattern gradually became complete, Nolan's sea of ​​consciousness began to fluctuate more and more violently, and something was about to appear.

But just when all the throbbing reached its highest point, the patterns in Nolan's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly collapsed and shattered without warning, and the fluctuations in the sea of ​​consciousness also subsided instantly!

This strong contrast caused a cramp in Nolan's mind, and his body began to have a physiological reaction of nausea.

"...cough, cough...for the one thousand one hundred and fourteenth time, the experiment failed." Nolan described the results of the experiment expressionlessly.

"However, the combined effect of dragon blood's mental power and magic power really inspired my basic spells. I had never dared to use it in my own sea of ​​consciousness before. After experimenting with Simon this time, I have basically determined which part should be extracted. , but the experimental data is not enough and the model is not perfect enough..."

Just as Nolan was concluding that another experiment had failed, there was a vibration under his feet, and the faint roar of a dragon could be heard outside the laboratory.

"Roar!!!"

The vibrations under his feet became more and more violent. Nolan thought that some stupid dragon might be causing trouble for him, so he decided to go out to see what happened.

Nolan's laboratory is at the top of the strangely tall peak where Simon slayed the dragon. Outside the laboratory, one can clearly see a large area of ​​the surrounding Broken Tooth Mountains.

Nolan came outside the laboratory and saw a huge gray figure in the distance jumping between the giant peaks and heading towards the laboratory.

"Well, it's 100 meters long and 70 meters tall. It has gray skin, no scales, its wings have begun to degenerate, its front claws are thick, and its head is triangular... It's an adult gray pterosaur."

After comparing the direction in which the adult gray pterosaur came and the direction in which Simon left, Nolan chuckled softly: "Is it to avenge his child? It's a pity that he found the wrong person...it happened that the experimental data was not enough Perfection requires more materials..."

Nolan narrowed his eyes slightly, and several complex shapes flashed quickly in his pupils. A nearly transparent colored air flow appeared out of thin air and began to wrap around his body.

The toes of his bare feet kicked slightly, and Nolan flew into the air and stood up out of thin air.

"Although I have never analyzed the 'Basic Pan-Magic Sensing Technique', that is just because I am obsessed with analyzing all-attribute magic power. If I only count a single attribute, whether it is the power of nature or the four elements, I am afraid Have you reached the level of legend mentioned in the novels of your previous life? If you underestimate me, you will suffer a big loss~"

Nolan quickly constructed two basic spells in his mind: the basic wind element sensing spell and the basic fire element sensing spell.

At the moment when these two spells were completed, a large number of cyan and red elemental magic light spots instantly appeared within Nolan's range of perception.

Nolan continued to add more complex and three-dimensional geometric patterns and strange words to the two basic spells. As the two spells deepened inward, the free attributeless magic power in the space around Nolan began to rapidly change into green and red, and gradually moved closer to Nolan's body.

Soon, when the two magic spells that were too complex to be called basic spells were completely completed, a large number of mixed lights of various colors instantly appeared in Nolan's sea of ​​consciousness. These lights were composed of two complex nine rings of wind and fire. With the spell as the core, a more complex and larger combined magic circle was quickly formed.

"Roar!!!"

The adult Gray Pterosaur has approached a position about ten kilometers in front of Nolan.

After completing the construction of the magic circle in the sea of ​​consciousness, Nolan spread his hands flat in front of him. Following Nolan's movements, the extremely rich magic elements that had accumulated around his body instantly formed a giant magic circle in front of his body that was exactly the same as the one in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The corners of his mouth curled up. Nolan wanted to commit a chuunibyou for the first time in a long time, and shouted at the gray pterosaur that was getting closer and closer:

"Exlon (explosion)!"

At the same time as he shouted, the huge magic circle that was still stationary instantly began to undergo complex transformations and rotations. At the same time, within a three-kilometer radius centered on the adult gray pterosaur eight kilometers in front of Nolan's body, the entire space instantly began to glow. There were two colors of blue and red light.

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle in front of Nolan also completed the last step of transformation, and merged into an unknown place in the void for an instant, while the space in front of him that was shrouded in green and red also appeared with blurry magic in an instant. After leaving traces of the formation, a burst of bright light that was enough to burn people's eyes suddenly erupted from the whole body.

Boom! ! !

The violent roar reached Nolan's ears slightly later than the light.

After a long time, the bright light faded, and Nolan dispersed the magic that was used to block his eyes, looking at the huge pit with a diameter of six kilometers in front of him, and the whole was still melting.

"Because it is the entire space within the detonation range, so there is no mushroom cloud generated... Oops! I am too complacent. This is the first time I used this 'Legendary Explosion Magic'. I didn't expect it to have such a big effect. If all the experimental materials were exploded, If it’s gone, it’ll be troublesome, and we’ll have to find another dragon…”

As if he heard Nolan talking to himself, several huge colorful figures flew out of the mountains in the distance and fled quickly into the distance.

"Tch, little guy, I already knew you were peeping."

To be continued.
