Great Elf Sage

While several magic apprentices were still discussing excitedly in the assembly area, they didn't know that they had already been exposed. .biquge

And the reason why they are able to survive until now is because someone helped them block the pursuers.

On the border plain where the three magic apprentices arrived, a group of paladins from the Temple of War were stopped by a man wearing a blue magician's robe.

"Gentlemen, the front is the border of the United Kingdom. Your pursuit is without permission. Please don't go any further, otherwise I will have to stop you personally..."

The man in blue robe was floating in mid-air, and the strong wind on the plain seemed to be unable to blow on him. The blue robe remained motionless; a metal rune in the shape of a flame on his chest was slightly emitting a red light.

On the ground, the holy knights of the Temple of War, wearing red and white armor, were riding on horses. Their weapons were unsheathed and pointed in the air, looking nervously at the man in blue robes.

The leader of the paladin was a long-haired man about the same age as the man in blue. The leader did not ride on the horse, but dismounted and stood on the ground. His long brown hair covered half of his face, as if he was hiding something.

I saw the paladin leader of the Temple of War pull out the sword from his waist, point it at the man in blue robe, and whisper:

“One of the six mentors of the Magic Association, the nine-ring ‘Fire Magister’ Julian Knox?”

The man in blue robe is Julian, the student of Nolan's "Gandalf" clone and the owner of the conceptual artifact "Knox's Staff".

"you know me?"

Although Julian said this, he wasn't actually that surprised. After all, after the war four years ago, there probably weren't many paladins in the Temple of War who didn't recognize him...

The paladin captain clenched his hands, and the sword in his right hand hummed softly under the invasion of war spirit. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely

"Are you arrogant, Julian? Or do you mean that I don't deserve to be remembered by you? You have already forgotten me..."

The Paladin's free left hand lifted up the long brown hair that covered half of his face, revealing a hideous and terrifying face - the half of his covered face didn't even have a complete piece of skin, it was all healed from burns. Ugly chunks of meat.

"You are! Are you Pat from the Knights of Glory?"

Julian recognized his rival from many years ago - Pat, the last member of the Knights of Glory.

Before the formation of the Temple of War, Pat met Julian who was traveling alone on the mainland ten years ago when he was escaping from the pursuit of Holmonks.

Since the name of magic had not yet spread at that time, Pat, who was not aware of the situation, regarded Julian's magical aura as having the same power as Hall Monks, so he once witnessed his companion's tragic death at the hands of Hall Monks. Pat launched an attack on Julian, who was only a low-level magician at the time.

The battle ended with Julian victorious and Pat seriously injured. However, Julian did not kill the inexplicable young knight at that time, but left him alone and left alone.

Shortly afterwards, Hallmonks and Anthony met, and the two sides fought a battle in the Eastern Union, which resulted in the destruction of a border city in the Eastern Union. At the same time, a mysterious woman with strange markings on her body appeared in the Eastern Union, and assassinated Many senior officials.

During such a sensitive period, the United Kingdom suddenly hired some countries from the Central Alliance to launch a proxy war against the Eastern Alliance, and declared war on a group of Ares believer countries headed by the Eastern Alliance. The ten-year dispute between the United Kingdom and the Eastern Alliance continued. Years of violent conflict began.

Later, Pat, as the only remaining member of the Knights of Glory, was recalled by the eastern coalition military and joined a newly formed regiment responsible for harassing the western invaders.

At the same time, through Nolan's layout for more than a year, the reputation of magic and magicians has been widely spread in the west of the mainland, and the reputations of Julian and other members of the 'Magic Association' have also been known to the public.

As a well-known extraordinary person in the United Kingdom, Julian naturally became one of the exclusion targets of Pat's special corps, so the two met again in an ambush the year after their first encounter.

What happened after that can be predicted that after many battles and many coincidences, the two developed a relationship similar to lifelong enemies.

This relationship lasted until the eve of the creation of the Temple of War by Ateus four years ago.

With the magic system becoming more and more perfect and Nolan constantly making small changes, Julian, the chief guinea pig, became the first human high-level magician four years ago in his seventh year on the road to magic.

After showing a powerful strength that was not inferior to that of 'Demon' Holmonks and 'Knight of Fire' Anthony, Julian was quickly judged by the senior leaders of the Eastern United Kingdom as one of the most threatening objects in the United Kingdom, and Because he was under thirty, the Eastern United Military, fearing the rise of another war god, put him at the top of the exclusion list.

As a result, people of all races in Aslan's continent finally saw the brilliance of magic for the first time.

It was a premeditated ambush. The Eastern Alliance dispatched two newly promoted high-level knights. Even Anthony, who was already close to a legend at the time, participated in that operation.

However, the final result was that Julian, who was holding the "Knox Rod", won a complete victory. The Eastern United lost two new high-level knights. Magic, a system of extraordinary beings, began to spread throughout the continent.

Pat also participated in the operation, but he was no longer an enemy in Julian's eyes. It was just the aftermath of an ordinary high-level magic that caused extensive burns on the left side of Pat, who was still just an intermediate-level fighting spirit knight at the time, and he no longer appeared on the front line of the battlefield.

……

"I didn't expect to see you again, Pat."

Julian looked at the disfigured knight with hatred in his eyes with complicated eyes.

"Hmph! You didn't expect that I was still alive, did you? From that day on, I swore that even if I crawled back from hell, even if I became a ghost, I would definitely come to you again and defeat you!"

Pat's face was ferocious, and the fighting spirit in his body began to surge. After seeing the superiority of the magic path, he realized that the power system was also part of the priesthood. Atreus, the god of war, had also modified a system based on the fighting spirit knight in the past few years. The relatively complete 'war knight' extraordinary system has gradually become the mainstream extraordinary profession in most human countries in the east.

"Give up, Pat, even your old leader Anthony is no match for me. Even if you become a high-level war knight, you can't defeat me."

Julian just wanted to stop these hounds from the Temple of War so that the magic apprentices participating in the 'Truth Assessment' could reach the magic association safely. He did not expect to encounter such a thing, and he was a little helpless.

"I have been thinking about seeing you again every day for these years... Now this day has finally come! Don't think that I don't know that your power comes from the artifact 'Knox's Staff', and that artifact is already in In the war last year, it was sealed by the divine power of war under the crown of the God of War!"

Pat laughed at Julian, regardless of the dissuasion of the knights behind him. The red war fighting spirit surrounded his body, forming a thick and strong layer of translucent armor. He held the sword in both hands, and the war fighting spirit rushing in his body surged along his hands. Entering the sword, he yelled and struck out a huge sword light towards Julian in mid-air.

"Drink!"

Julian sighed, why does anyone still dare to question the strength of a high-level magician now?

With a flick of his left index finger, Julian triggered an eight-ring magic slot on one of the three basic spells in the sea of ​​consciousness, the 'earth element sensing spell'.

The ground under Julian's feet suddenly surged like a wave. Solid rock 'waves' rose up from the ground to a height of five or six meters, and 'grew' layer by layer in the direction of Pat like fast-growing bamboo shoots.

Earth attribute eight-ring magic——‘Rock Wave’.

The red sword light that Pat struck out with all his strength quickly broke through the rock waves. However, the waves piled up one after another until the sword light was completely consumed. There was no sign of the rock waves stopping.

Seeing the waves of rocks coming towards them, the other knights of the Temple of War quickly aroused their fighting spirit, but Pat shouted

"Don't get involved in this fight, stay back!"

The knights all breathed a sigh of relief and reined in their horses one after another. The knights responsible for hunting down magic apprentices rarely see truly powerful magicians. They can only bully the magic apprentices like this. This is the first time they have seen the strength of high-level magicians.

The 'rock wave' was just a deterrent magic. After the other knights retreated, Julian stopped the transmission of mental power. Soon the rock wave stopped growing and solidified on the plain, like a natural wonder.

Pat stepped hard, and a large crater with a diameter of two meters was created on the ground. His whole body rushed towards Julian in mid-air like a falcon flying at high speed.

Floating backwards, Julian once again triggered the two seventh-level magic spells 'Advanced Gravity Pull' and 'Chris' Advanced Shield'.

'Advanced gravity pull' is a seven-ring magic recorded in the "Book of Earth Elements" written by the sage Gandalf. It is a high-level advanced spell of 'low-level gravity control' and 'intermediate gravity control'. Being able to control gravity in multiple directions and with high intensity in a certain small area is one of the mandatory protective spells for magicians who focus on earth attributes.

'Chris' Advanced Shield' is one of the magic placed on the inner floor of the library hall in the magic association. It is a rare high-level magic that mixes wind and fire attributes. For those who want to pursue multi-attribute fusion to advance to the legend For Julian, it is a rare research example - this "Chrissy's Advanced Shield" actually also has low-level and intermediate pre-spells. Julian has always been curious about this "Chrissy" Who is the genius magician?

Affected by 'Advanced Gravity Control', Pat's sprint speed was greatly reduced, and his body shape also seemed to be swaying under the changing direction of gravity.

Pat shouted loudly, and the armor formed by the fighting spirit on his body glowed red, and the gravity shackles were opened by a gap under the magic hedging. Pat took advantage of this opportunity to control the fighting spirit in his body to spur a stream of flames to spurt behind him. He accelerated forward and rushed forward. After getting close to Julian, he struck out with his sword again.

'Chris' Advanced Shield' appeared at the right time, and the cyan whirlwind and red flames formed a spherical shield to protect Julian.

After Pat's sword hit the shield, a violent vibration came from the hilt of the sword - this is a common resonance effect of this wind attribute shield. It can resist the enemy's attack and at the same time be transmitted through the opponent's weapon that touches the shield. Vibrates to the opponent's limbs, reducing the opponent's arm strength and physical condition.

At the same time, a burst of heat was also transmitted from the shield to Pat's hand, and it became hotter and hotter, gradually threatening to burn. Pat's eyes were filled with madness and pain.

If it weren't for the basic structure of the spell, this 'Chrissy's Advanced Shield' should really be classified as offensive magic! Mr. John always likes to use it as a charge skill...

Julian was thinking vaguely, and once again triggered a nine-level spell spell - 'Chrissy's Advanced Shield'. Before the counter function was even triggered, Pat was almost unable to bear it. , If this continues, he will either die or be seriously injured.

"After all, it's just a high-level..."

Julian said softly, and Pat was furious when he heard it. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness and dislocation, and the scene in front of him became blurry.

A nine-ring magic combination of wind and earth attributes - 'Intermediate Space Replacement'.

Looking at Pat who was teleported hundreds of meters away by a burst of twisted white light, Julian muttered to himself while constructing a 'restoration rune' to replenish the slightly depleted mental power.

"Both the wind element and the earth element are the basis of space attributes. Both can affect space to a certain extent before the legend, but the real space magic is the combination of the four basic attributes... Although the teacher said so, But the combination of the four basic elements is the foundation of material existence and the essence of space. The reality of the world is really incredible..."

Feeling the three basic techniques of red, yellow, and blue in the sea of ​​consciousness, Julian said with a toothache.

"It's really difficult to gather the four basic elements. It's okay to say that the wind and earth elements have been touched to a high level over the years, but the water element and my adaptability are too poor. Even the basic sensing techniques have been difficult to master over the years. Without it being engraved... I really don’t know how Teacher Gandalf and the other sages did this!”

Julian dispelled 'Chris' Advanced Shield' and was about to continue casting magic to kill Pat's fighting spirit when a crimson ray shot towards him from behind a hidden hill beside him. A powerful magic power is condensed in this small red ray, which is obviously very powerful!

"Not good! There is still an ambush..."

Since the structures of different types of magic spells conflict with each other, each type of magic has a casting interval limit between similar magic spells, and Julian is now stuck in the casting interval of shield and displacement magic. , even though the interval was less than five seconds, the other party had obviously been waiting for him!

Julian did not panic in the emergency. He cast several different types of magic instantly according to the situation, and observed the person who attacked him.

"Huh? It's Anthony!"

I saw in the direction where the ray came from, a tall man covered in half-melted metal armor with dark red flames all over his body. He was holding a spear that also had the 'fire of war' and was shooting at Julian in the air. Coming at a gallop.

"Julian Knox, your Staff of Knox has been sealed by the divine power of the God of War last time. Now you are just a nine-ring magician. You are so weak, and you can only die in my hands today! "

……

To be continued.
