Law of the Devil

Sammel was originally a genius. The old magician's voice was low, his eyes were blurred, and he looked at the snow field ahead, his beard was raised by the cold wind, and his eyes were shining...

The first time I met Semel was at the shrine's annual blessing ceremony to celebrate the New Year. At that ceremony, all the dignified people in the imperial capital would be invited to attend, and the emperor and the pope would join him I prayed to the gods, and asked the gods to bless this continent and bless the prosperity of the Roland Empire. It was at the ceremony that year that I met Semel for the first time. At that time, she was just over twenty years old, but she was already the imperial capital Provenly the most gifted

The local astrologer was even hired as a court astrologer by His Majesty the year before.

At that time, I had already obtained Aragon's magic inheritance, and I had a high position in the Magicians Association. No one knew that a veteran in the Magic Association would be an out-and-out enemy of the temple. While secretly cultivating the magic knowledge left by Aragorn, I was quietly looking for a suitable heir to Aragorn's magic. Because the magic left by His Majesty Aragorn is very profound, and I was almost fifty years old at that time. to inherit Allah

Gongdi's will, I must find a suitable successor to pass on everything I have learned and known. Sow more seeds! Otherwise, if one day I was suddenly exposed or died, then everything would be over.

In the end, the person I chose was Semel.

She was quite a genius, and I learned that in many ways. And I approached her quietly a few times to test her, and her magic talent is also very good. Most importantly, her background is very clean.

The profession of astrologer has always been respected by people. But there is no bit of nothing. Not many people would make great efforts to win over a powerless astrologer. The Temple doesn't place much emphasis on this group either. And Semel's family background is also very simple, almost a blank slate.

In the end I found her quietly, and made friends with her, and I taught her some magic... You know, Semel had put forward many interesting hypotheses about astrology at that time, but those hypotheses seemed to others to be whimsical... ...Hehe, she was originally a girl full of whimsy. but me. It just catered to her ideas, so we had a very pleasant exchange. In the end, she was inspired by me and put forward a new idea

Law: Why can't the power of the stars be a magical power?

Hear here. Du Wei has already sighed.

I see. Semel proposed that the power of stars can also be used in magic... This idea was actually inspired by the old magician.

In order to satisfy her desire for research, I accompanied her to travel around the mainland, and we searched for precious materials everywhere. For example, we will carefully inspect the historical sites of stars that have fallen from the sky recorded in the literature, and finally we found a few precious stones, which are said to be stars that fell from the sky. Debris.

The years when I accompanied her on the mainland tour were the happiest years in my life. Semel is a smart, understanding woman, with her. As if every day is fresh!

The old magician's voice was full of deep affection—maybe he didn't even notice it.

And then? Du Wei asked in a low voice.

Then...we perfected Semel's idea step by step, and finally created the so-called star magic. The old magician's tone was a little mocking: Actually, I lied to her. The so-called creation is basically the result of my intentionally or unconsciously hinting at her in many details. In fact, I just took advantage of our discussion and research to pass on Aragorn's magic knowledge to her bit by bit. And His Majesty Aragorn The magic is different from many magics on this continent. It completely inherits the magic power of the demons, and it is very different from the existing magic system on the mainland. With these inspirations, Semel finally made a breakthrough and came up with The so-called star magic... Oh, I named it for her. Because of her so-called another magic system created. In fact, it is exactly the one of Aragorn, so. I simply even The name has not been changed, and it is named after the magic of Aragorn. The fighting spirit of the starry sky and the magic of the stars are originally what His Majesty Aragorn relied on in the past. However, Semel has never heard of the name of the magic of the stars, and he still thinks It was a good name, so I accepted it.

When he said this, the old magician paused for a while, with a smile on his face, as if sinking into some happy memories, with a soft expression and gentle eyes...

At that time...we got along very happily. She was like my good friend and my disciple. Being with her made me feel younger. The old magician shook his head, and then A glint of gloom flashed in his eyes: But then, I began to think, sooner or later I will tell her something... tell her everything about Aragorn, all the secrets, because she is the right heir I have chosen.

Did you say that? Du Wei

I'm... very hesitant. The old magician showed a trace of struggle on his face: She is so happy...so simple, she likes to live a simple, free and peaceful life...I suddenly regretted it too. Taking such a happy and simple woman, It is really a crime to drag this complicated and heavy historical grievance. So, I have been delaying it until... we returned to the imperial capital, until...

Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something.

We returned to the imperial capital after traveling for three years. On a certain day in that year, some strange phenomena appeared in the starry sky. His Majesty ordered the best astrologers to come for divination. Later, at a palace banquet, Semel I met Zach from the Rowling family. Oh, boy, it’s your great-great-great-grandfather, Zack Rowling. The youngest general of the Imperial Military Command at that time.”

And then? Du Wei smiled wryly.

Then? There was a trace of indifference in the eyes of the old magician that made Du Wei feel a little cold, and he sneered: Then, I don't know what method your great-great-great-grandfather used to deceive Semel's heart The two fell in love!

obviously. From the eyes of the old magician, it is a kind of jealousy! A kind of jealousy and resentment coming from the bottom of my heart!

What is certain is that this old guy has obviously developed a special feeling for Semel besides his friend and master-student feelings! .

Things after that are easier said than done:

The old magician fell in love with the female genius he had single-handedly cultivated, and then married the contemporary head of the well-known Luo Lin family. The youngest and most promising general of the Imperial Military Command, Zach Rollin. On the one hand, he can't tolerate his beloved woman falling into the arms of others. On the other hand, how could the heir he cultivated be so invested in other families? So could it be that the hard work of the past few years was in vain?

So, right before Samel married Zach. The old magician found Semel, and the two had a deep conversation.

The content of the conversation, the old magician did not give a detailed description. However, Du Wei can infer two conclusions from the words and the lines.

First of all, the old magician must have expressed his inner admiration for this female genius who is almost half of his disciple! And sure enough, Semel said no. In fact, Semel has never had any feelings for this man twice her age (calculated according to his age at the time). She has always regarded the old magician as a congenial man. A good friend, or an amiable half-teacher, half-friend companion.

That's all. This made the old magician very sad.

Then, the sad old magician finally told about his original purpose of training Semel: all the secrets about the unsolved historical case of Aragorn!

pity. Regarding this point...very personally Semel also refused!

Her tone at that time was really similar to yours, kid. The old magician looked haggard, and whispered: Do you still remember what you and I said two days ago, you said that you are strong in the mainland? , You are paladins and magicians, but what does this have to do with me! She probably said the same thing at the time.

At that time, Semel expressed his anger very fiercely.

Whether it's Aragorn, gods, or demons... what does this have to do with me? Gods and demons can fight if they want to fight, and fight if they want to fight! Whether it's the temple or the imperial power, I have nothing to do with these things. Interest! I just want to live my own life! Why should these historical deposits that smell rotten be carried on my back? Why should I fall into this kind of thing that has passed hundreds of years Go? I don’t want to! I don’t want to be involved in this kind of thing! I have my freedom! I just want to live my own life! I live like Samel! It’s not about inheriting someone else’s legacy!!”

As a result, the old magician left sadly, and Semel married into Luo Lin's family, and lived happily for several years after that.

But a few years later, the old magician came to the door again and met Semel in secret.

In those few years, the old magician spent a lot of effort to obtain some secret documents, and even many of the handwriting left by His Majesty the founding emperor obtained by sneaking into the palace, and he even sneaked into the temple with audacity... repeatedly!

In the end, an astonishing piece of information was cobbled together from numerous materials. That astonishing message made the old magician unable to sit still. He needed a powerful helper to complete one thing together. In desperation, he had no choice but to find Semel, who was already a powerful magician.

Although I haven't seen him for many years, even though I have made it clear that my ambition is not interested in inheriting any legacy. But for the sake of the friendship back then, and the love that the old magician had taught him carefully, Semel agreed to help.

But, just this once.

But just this time, something big happened! .
