Great Elf Sage

The term ‘sage’ existed long before the True Spirit War, when several continents were still in contact. .biquge

The word "sage" has many meanings, such as "powerful one", "wise person", "elder man", etc. Even now, after experiencing the True Spirit War, all continents have basically been cut off from contact, the term "sage" It has always existed, and its pronunciation and meaning are basically the same, without much change. Even in ancient languages ​​such as Elf and Dragon Language, the pronunciation and meaning of this word are the same.

And because during the ancient era of the first thousand years of creation, various 'concepts' were manifested in the material world, so in addition to the birth of life to become the ancient true spirit, and some of the 'concepts' that solidified into conceptual artifacts in the material world , all things related to the ancient times, their existence itself will also be contaminated with some 'concepts'.

Ancient languages ​​are one of them. Whether it is a systematic language such as ancient elven language or dragon language, or the most ancient words like 'sage' to describe a certain thing or image individually, they have all been affected by the meaning of their expressions. The contamination of some 'concepts' contains a certain degree of extraordinary power.

The 'Dragon Language Magic' studied by Red Dragon Pastor and the chanting mantra studied by Atalan anthropologists are all based on languages ​​​​infected by such concepts.

In the ancient meaning of the word 'sage', there are too many parts related to magic. Whether it means the meaning of wisdom and knowledge, or the meaning of mastering mystery and power, they are all priesthoods in Nolan's plan—— An indispensable component of 'Dharma God'.

Therefore, as early as eleven years ago, when Anjin told Nolan the secret of the priesthood in the Broken Tooth Mountains, Nolan was planning to incorporate the oldest word "sage" into the concept of "Dharma God".

From the very beginning, Nolan inadvertently spread the name "Elven Sage Nolan" through Simon's mouth, centered on Stuart City in the southern continent of Atalan, but this was just a description of a certain character. , like all people who have received this title in history, it is just a status symbol and cannot understand the 'concept' hidden behind the word 'sage'.

Therefore, in Nolan's experimental diary, there is an entry "trying to obtain the concept of sage".

In the years since he came to Aslan's continent, while Nolan was spreading the seeds of magic, he was also trying to tie the concept of 'sage' to the concept of 'magic'.

The ‘Four Sages’ mentioned by Anthony are the products of this experiment

The mysterious gravekeeper of the Knox family, the highest seat of the magic association, the white-robed magician, the Grand Magister, and the 'sage who leads magic' - Gandalf;

The mysterious alchemical magician from the East, the creator of the ‘Devil’ Hormonx, the immortal man who is rumored to have mastered the secret of immortality, the ‘Sage of Alchemy and Immortality’ – Hohenheim;

Chiron, who walks around the continent and spreads magic, is the guide for many wandering mages and civilian knights, the saint preached in the long river plains in the south of the continent, and the "sage who guides heroes";

As well as the prince of a hidden elf kingdom, the dean and chief professor of the Magic Academy, the protector of elves and half-elves, the 'Sage of Knowledge and Mystery' - Nolan Morningstar.

After many years of planning, the concept of the Four Sages has been deeply rooted in the circles of extraordinary people, and has also been spread among ordinary people. In many places, sages are no longer used to describe respected elderly scholars, but in Nolan Other words were used under the covert guidance of .

The word 'sage' has now become almost the expression of the highest honor and highest rank of a magician.

'Magic path', 'material transformation', 'immortality', 'wisdom', 'knowledge', 'mystery'... Most of the magic-related concepts that the word 'sage' originally included or did not include have been Integrated into the concept of 'sage' by Nolan.

Therefore, the word 'sage' has gradually become equated with magic and powerful magicians.

The rest can only be seen after the 'Four Sages' are more deeply rooted in people's hearts and until a new magician obtains the title of Sage...

……

Anthony looked warily at Nolan who appeared through the 'Advanced Space Displacement'. When Nolan appeared, he knew that it was impossible to kill Julian, so he ignored Julian who had recovered his breath and flew to Nolan. Lan was beside him, but he was holding on to the 'Fall of Tesla', ready to fight at any time.

Julian flew to Nolan and performed a mage salute.

"Praise your name, Dean of the Magic Academy, Sage of Knowledge and Mystery, Your Excellency Nolan, may the light of wisdom shine in the Magic Palace."

"May the light of wisdom shine in the magic palace." Nolan returned the greeting.

"Sir Nolan, thank you for your rescue..."

Julian's tone was a little strange, and Nolan chuckled.

"Haha, what about Julian, I reminded you last time that you relied too much on the 'Knox Staff', and even many of your judgments were based on 'holding the Knox Staff yourself' Under the premise, you have learned a lesson this time, right?"

"Yes... Mr. Nolan, I have been too complacent over the years. I always thought that with the Staff of Knox and the blessing of 'Energy Damage Realization', I could even fight the legend... In fact, even if I don't have it today, With Anthony here, and the other nine ninth-level war knights alone, I may not be able to escape."

Julian was a little depressed. It is very difficult for a genius to admit his mistakes in the field he is best at. Fortunately, Julian quickly changed his mentality, so he was only a little depressed.

"The mentality is good... However, let me remind you here. With the blessing of the Staff of Knox, you do have the strength of the legendary level."

Nolan ignored Anthony and the nine war knights who were facing a powerful enemy, but spoke to Julian with a smile.

Julian's eyes lit up after hearing Nolan's words, and he thought of something.

"Legendary level... energy damage becomes real... becomes real!"

Alas, sentimentality is indeed a major disadvantage of short-lived species!

Nolan shook his head and smiled in his mind.

Under the guidance of Nolan's Gandalf clone for many years, Julian embarked on the journey of "quickly reaching the ninth ring with a single-element fundamental spell, and then inscribing another fundamental spell again, and finally combining the multi-element fundamental spells into a legend Magic's conventional magician promotion path to legend.

However, it is a pity that Julian could not get rid of the short-lived nature of human beings in the end. Under various unnecessary emotions and short-sightedness, Julian has stayed at this stage for two years, and even arrogantly challenged the war. The Templar army in the temple was split by Ateus with a sword across half a continent from the Staff of Knox, causing the four great sages to surface early.

Chris, who embarked on her own journey to open up a new magical ladder after the legend, successfully created the path of a single-attribute legend, ahead of the originally appointed Julian, and became the first legendary magician after Nolan.

"Forget it, being exposed in advance also has the advantage of being exposed in advance. At least under the crazy hunting and killing of the Temple of War in the past few years, the reputation of magicians has been spread by them in disguise..."

Seeing that Julian had thought of the key to the problem, Nolan no longer thought about these things, but looked at Anthony below with interest.

"Mr. Anthony, aren't you leaving? Do you need me to ask you to leave?"

"His Majesty Victory once said that Gandalf, the highest-ranking magician of the magic society who could stop him from striking out a sword from across the air, is the mortal closest to him in rank and closest to the gods. Since you are a sage alongside Gandalf, , the strength is about the same... I have long wanted to see how strong the mortals who are closest to gods really are!"

Anthony shook the sharp gun in his hand, pointed the tip of the gun directly at Nolan, and said in a deep voice

"Julian can possess legendary strength with the 'Staff of Knox', and now that I have been promoted to legend, I also have the artifact 'Tesla's Fall' in my hand, and 'Tesla's Fall' is the person who once killed God's weapon, stained with divine blood, is far stronger than the legendary 'Knox Staff'! Is there still a gap between me and you?"

"Are you going to challenge me?"

"That's right! Not only you, but also Gandalf, Hohenheim and Chiron, you are my target! As long as I defeat you, I can become a subordinate god under the crown of the God of War!"

Nolan has a black hair.

There are so many flaws, I don’t know where to start!

A true spirit who has truly mastered a certain concept is already a god to ordinary people. However, true spirits' grasp of concepts is very trivial, and they often only have a one-sided 'interpretation' of a certain 'big concept'.

After the True Spirit War, the surviving ancient true spirits have come to the conclusion that only by improving one-sided explanations to comprehensive 'interpretations' and truly mastering the complete concept of a certain field can they be considered as taking the first step towards becoming a true god. step.

As for how many steps are left? No one knows.

Although Arteus is a latecomer, it can be seen from his behavior over the past few decades that he has also discovered that his "concept of war" is very one-sided, so he continues to launch various wars to improve it. war concept'.

Knowing that the journey ahead has not yet been completed, Arteus is already addicted to pretending to be a god? Still from God?

I really don’t know whether to say that Arteus is too arrogant and too middle-class, or that Anthony is too young and too naive...

Although the 'Staff of Knox' and 'The Fall of Tesla' are both called gods, they are actually incomparable at all!

The ‘Staff of Knox’ is the remains of a concept spirit that died during the True Spirit War. It is a real artifact that has some ‘concept’ residue, can exert the ability of ‘concept’, and is very close to the root of the world in terms of personality.

The 'Death of Tesla' was originally just an extraordinary weapon made by the dwarves. It was later used by Arteus to kill the semi-true spirit dwarf king Tesla and was stained with the blood of the semi-true spirit's death. This gun has a higher status than ordinary extraordinary weapons.

But compared with the 'Knox Rod', 'Tesla's Fall' is nothing but a far-reaching reputation among humans.

Apparently Arteus did not tell Antony this...

Anthony is also a poor guy. Arteus treats him just like he did Pat, just using him...

"Are you really sure you want to defeat 'us' one by one?"

Nolan put his forehead on his head and looked at the sky with a strange look on his face.

"Hmph, of course! You, Nolan Morningstar, you, the elf prince of unknown origin, will be my first stepping stone to become the subordinate god of the God of War!"

Is an honest man.

"Okay, I'll play with you... to let you know that legend is just the first step to explore the truth and get closer to the roots."

It is also an interesting experience to be talked about one's other vests among others. A little role-playing, through the spread of Anthony and the other nine war knights, may it be helpful to deepen the concept of 'sage'?
