Mercenaries and Adventurers

Master Kony also followed his teacher's appearance, facing the sea.

He straightened his neck, and his eyes were shining with magic power. Under his control, those subtle magic powers merged with a little light projected from the surface of the soul under his eyes.

The rapid fusion and expansion turned into a magic circle suspended in front of his eyes with the ability to see far away. The magic circle quickly rotated and activated, magnifying the light from afar and projecting it onto the eyes of Mage Coney.

Standing on a tall observation tower, he can see extremely far away.

Sweeping his eyes carefully, he quickly discovered something was wrong.

"Teacher, there is something wrong on the sea in the distance." In his eyes, the sea in the far distance is abnormal at this moment. The sea water is like sprouting green grass sprouts, growing and climbing from the sea to the sky against gravity.

The old mage nodded.

"In fact, the big storm has already started, but it will take a while before it approaches the coast. As you can see, the sea water flowing back from the sea surface to the sky abnormally is the huge natural magic under the sea surface. 'Precognitive response'."

The old mage stroked his beard and explained to his apprentice: "The so-called predictive response does not mean that some phenomena that appeared before the catastrophe really predicted something. Some phenomena of early impact of disasters."

He pointed to the observatory flag aft towards the sea outside the observation tower.

"In the area affected by the big storm, the air on the ground is flowing against the ocean at this moment. This is a kind of predictive reaction. Those who keenly observe this phenomenon, such as the old scholar, can compare each sea eruption The direction and speed of the air flow during the lifetime can accurately calculate when the big storm will appear."

Master Kony looked at the scene in the distance with his mouth open in surprise, and took out a pen and paper from his sleeve to record what the teacher said just now.

Seeing the apprentice mark, the old mage patted Kony on the head, indicating that the two could go out to meet the coming sea storm.

-

The middle-aged man who was the priest of the hidden ring of the sun waited for the fast-burning deep-sea squid ink to dry up before returning to the lighthouse with the box.

Before returning, he also firmly closed the door to the platform. He hadn't forgotten that a big storm was coming, if the door was not closed properly, maybe they would be washed down from the top of the tower by the water pouring in from the door.

It can be more than fifty meters high here.

Not to mention other things, just say that it will soak the teacher's painstaking efforts, that would be very bad.

After entering the room, he felt very annoyed when he saw another senior brother walking around in a state of anxiety.

"What are you worried about? It won't be messed up. And even if it is messed up, your church will just waste a little time for the people. There is nothing to worry about."

"You don't understand. Huh." After saying this angrily, the tall middle-aged people remembered each other's identities: "Sorry. I have been preparing for this for more than half a year, and I really can't afford to fail."

The short spy of the priest of the Ring of the Sun ignored the other person. He carefully checked the huge glass windows around the original house to make sure that they were all closed without any gaps.

The old scholar began to pack up various paper materials on the table while chatting with him in a rambling manner.

There are a lot of these things, and they can't just be piled up in a pile and stuffed into a box. Otherwise, after returning to his book tower, it would be more troublesome to classify and separate the various files.

After all, I can still remember what is important and what is not. When I got back, I forgot all about it.

The tall middle-aged man who believed in the Lord of the Sea was really restless, so he walked to a glass window facing the sea, found a cotton pad and put it under his knees, then sat up on his knees.

He then dipped some seawater from a metal jug at his waist on his fingers, and lightly dotted the seawater on his own forehead. There was no sound in the mouth, but the lips touched repeatedly quickly, silently reciting the prayers of the church.

"I pray for your forgiveness, we sail on your body."

"Pray for your kindness, we catch the genus that you feed."

"Pray for your quiet listening, we step over your stalwart body."

"Not for complacency, but for your news."

"You are so vast that all the people know it without thinking."

"Whenever you stand on the beach, a person with eyes and knowledge will feel refreshed."

"Just because of your heart."

"Let me drink the sea water and experience the taste of fate, just like your unpredictable mood."

"Let me face the storm and feel the awakening of anger, just like your majestic power."

"Let me dive into the deep sea and accept the mission of this life, just like your boundless wisdom."

With his silent recitation, the uneasiness finally gradually disappeared.

Sitting on the chair on the outer edge of the platform again, the old mage withdrew his ears and sneered disdainfully.

"It's a common question, can the master of the ocean really represent the ocean?"

He shook his head, and said to Kony, who was emotionally excited when he saw something next to him: "Kony, guess how much sea area the Lord of the Ocean that the person behind him believes in can affect? ​​And the Sun God that the other person believes in, He How much sunlight can be collected from the sky at one time? And how much of a field can the God of Saturn, who has the most believers, control the growth and prosperity of crops?"

Although Kony watched the approaching big storm in amazement through the magic of looking far ahead of his eyes, in fact, he still paid less attention to staying by his side. He naturally heard what the teacher seemed to be asking him, but was actually talking to himself.

He didn't dare to answer those words, and couldn't answer them.

After all, his strength is limited, and he probably will have bad consequences if he accepts those words, although the teacher will definitely cover those consequences for him. But he still didn't dare. It's not that they are in awe of the gods, it's just that they are not strong enough.

"How many things and how long can the God of Time control? Hehe, can the God of War really control a war that can destroy the world? And can the Mother of the Earth slow down the rotation of our planet even by half? Haha Haha. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Life creates gods and then asks these gods to do things they can't do."

The old mage shook his head.

"And the most hilarious thing, how much magic does the **** of magic in the empire know? Every time I think about it, I can't help but laugh. Is he casting magic or magic, huh? Haha."

Seeing that the teacher became more and more frightening, Kony had no choice but to push the teacher's arm.

"Oh, oh oh. That's right, regardless of the things that make people laugh, as magicians, we still have to experience it well. This grand scene can only appear every year through the rotation of the planet."

The voice just fell.

From left to right on the distant sea line, as far as the eye can see, there are white clouds rising that can be distinguished by the naked eye.

The three people in the house walked to the glass window and took a closer look.

But Kony let go of the wild words the teacher just said in his heart, and murmured involuntarily: "It's not clouds, it's water!"

The old mage next to him shook his head. He didn't correct his disciple's mistake in description, so what rose up at this moment was not water, or in other words, it wasn't just water.

It is a majestic natural magic power surging from the deep sea.

It's just that those magic powers are the magic power of water according to the classic concept of traditional magicians.

It's water, and it's magic.

It's magic, and it's water.

After the majestic disaster-level magic power gushes out of the sea, it will change into the phase of water, and as the concentration of the original magic power decreases, more and more water will be transformed.

more and more.

more and more.

Until the entire northern and eastern parts of the Farah Peninsula and the large land and desert are completely 'watered' again.

Similar things will probably appear repeatedly in these few days, but the first time every year is the largest.

As a magician, I have to watch it, after all, this is a gift from nature.

-

The clouds and mist rising on the distant horizon look small and slow, but in fact that is an illusion.

For ordinary people on the Farah Peninsula, they rarely, or basically do not, directly observe the appearance of a large storm from a high place. In the days before the big storm, the people usually ask people or do it themselves to firmly reinforce and waterproof their houses according to the rules of previous years.

When the month comes to the big storm month, they will prepare food for at least half a month, gather their pets, livestock and poultry in the house, and the family will not go out anywhere, honestly waiting for the water provided by the ocean for a whole year in the coming year.

Even if you are forced to go out, such as illness or childbirth, you must plan your route in advance and go out as soon as possible.

When there is a big storm, they will close the doors and windows tightly, ignoring everything that happens outside.

Until the biggest bell in the city rang again, announcing the end of this year's big storm.

Behind the huge glass in the lighthouse room of the observation tower, the three masters and apprentices who were in charge of predicting the start of the big storm were watching from such a place with such a good view for the first time. They had experienced dozens of big storms in their lives.

"My God, this is the greatest miracle of the Lord of the Ocean. Look, it is approaching quickly! And it is getting bigger and bigger!" The tall middle-aged man who believed in the Lord of the Ocean was lying tightly In front of the glass window, he shouted excitedly.

The secret agent of the priest who believed in the sun **** was stunned in place, chanting the name of the **** he believed in in his heart, clutching the corner of his clothes nervously, and pinching it tightly in his hands.

He is not an ordinary priest who has never seen a big scene. As a church spy, he has traveled far and wide, seen island-like sea beasts, and the most frightening sandstorm in the desert, but compared with the big storm in his hometown at the moment , It’s really a big deal.

The rapidly expanding and approaching water mist mass in the distance turned into a huge monster with teeth and claws in the breath. Connecting the sky to the ground, extending from the far left of the ground to the far right of the line of sight, the whole world seems to be engulfed by a sea storm.

That nervous mood actually made the automatic protection blessing on his self-defense take effect.

A layer of human-shaped luminous silhouette close to the body suddenly appeared, which startled the classmates and teachers next to him. But he quickly realized that with a thought, the protective human silhouette disappeared in the body again.

"A little nervous. It's okay." He barely explained.

The other two were a little puzzled, but were quickly taken away by the approaching sea storm.

This is also the first time for the old scholar to see such a shocking scenery. Even he had secretly opened the window to peek when the big storm came in the past, but at this place, at this time, at this height, he can directly contact the sea with his eyes like this. Violent, it was still a bit too exciting for him.

m.

He raised his teacup and took a sip of the warmed tea, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"How many times have I missed the opportunity to watch the big storm in my life?" Thinking of this, his mind turned, and he had the idea of ​​inviting some dignitaries in the city to watch it next year.

If the fees are formalized in the future, will it bring Taturons a new source of tax revenue?

-

Outside the door next to him, Mage Kony could no longer control his young and excited mood. Standing on his chair, he excitedly opened his hands and used his chest to welcome the approaching big storm.

He wasn't worried about his dissolute appearance at this time, after all, the teacher was beside him, and the teacher would cover his figure and voice for him.

"Here comes the teacher!" He shouted loudly.

I have to shout, because as the big storm approached rapidly, the expanding natural magic turned into a large number of water droplets flying in the air. These countless and unpredictable water pushed the air in front of them, making the air Push to move towards Farah Peninsula.

The gradually accelerating air turned into wind, and gradually howled and roared.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

The young Kony flapped his arms excitedly like a bird, and the sleeves of his robe caught a lot of wind, and the wind blowing backwards slightly lifted him, which made him excited to think that he could do it without the help of magic. Just fly up.

In fact, the growing wind would have already blown him away in the robe, but the old mage secretly held Cornelia in place, which prevented him from being blown away by the strong wind.

-

The big storm is getting closer.

The outermost edge of the approaching cloud cluster is white reflecting sunlight, but the further you look inward, the darker it becomes. That's because the dense water droplets blocked the sunlight in the sky, and in the depths of the big storm that swept close to the sea surface, it was like a dark night, accompanied by violent wind and showers.

The observation tower they were in was not the northernmost one. An observation tower on a seaside reef island that could be seen not far away was directly engulfed by the large storm that swept across the sea.

Kony stared there, and he sensed the fleeting glow of the magician's magic power on the observation tower before it was swallowed up.

"Teacher!" He called the old mage loudly, with a worried expression on his face.

But the old mage just patted the arm of the chair he was sitting on.

And it is still clear under the current situation of strong winds, as if talking in the ear: "Don't be nervous. Think about it calmly. The observation tower under our feet has been there for some years, and it can withstand big storms every year, not to mention our magic Where's the teacher?"

"They are all official mages, don't worry about them."

After speaking, the old mage pointed in front of him.

"Haha, the big storm is coming, feel it!"

Kony turned his head, opened his mouth wide, and gradually looked up at the huge storm that devoured the sky.

Really swallow the sky. The water vapor of the gradually expanding natural magic power has expanded to as high as several kilometers, which is much taller than a snow mountain.

And the big storm that is close to the sea surface and the ground continues to the end of the line of sight, it seems that the whole world will be swallowed and destroyed by this.

At this moment, Mage Kony couldn't help casting space anchoring magic with his left hand, and his right hand urgently used a large amount of magic crystallized magic power stored in the space bag of his clothes to activate the magic power with the special magic circle pre-stored on the forearm of his arm, and instantly opened a hole that bound him and him. The old mage and the magic shield protected by the lighthouse behind him.

This was entirely his instinct, because his intuition had already been fully occupied by the huge storm that was approaching in an instant.

His mind was completely unable to think at that moment, and he simply wanted to protect himself and other nearby humans.

The old mage snorted in dissatisfaction, feeling that the apprentice was still too young, and he lost his mind in such a scene, and his mind was taken away by the natural landscape in front of him.

But as soon as he felt Kony's protective shield, he smiled again.

Although still a little immature, but a good boy.

At this moment, he will subconsciously protect the 'ordinary people' behind him.

Shaking his head, he waved his hand, directly erasing the two spells that Kony released instantly.

After all, they have to be invisible, and the spherical magic shield cast instantly will resist the water that hits them.

It makes people feel strange and it will be troublesome to see through.

-

Kony's mind came back as the protective cover was directly erased, and he immediately realized that he had made something redundant. His teacher certainly wouldn't let things get out of hand.

And even the lighthouse under him can withstand the big storm, there is no reason why he can't resist it himself.

Even though he thought so, before he was engulfed by the sea storm directly facing him, Kony still thought: 'This is really shocking. '

-

The surroundings instantly darkened, as if entering a dark night where the five fingers could not be seen.

But the difference is that a "pourer rain" coming across the surface, horizontally, and completely ignoring the gravity of the planet hits the face.

In just an instant, Coney was drenched, and the huge water droplets that had just changed from natural magic to water hit his face and made him feel raw. But the pain is the pain, but it can't hurt him at all.

After all, those delicacies that I don’t like every day are not free.

All kinds of weird nutritious foods have been transformed by Master Harau into magical foods that can truly enhance strength.

Coney licked his tongue, and suddenly realized that the water droplets blown by the big storm turned out to be real pure water.

As if he had discovered what he was going to ask, the voice of the old mage rang directly beside the ears that had nothing but roars.

"This is pure water transformed by pure natural magic. It has just been produced, and it is far from any water we usually drink or see. Although it looks ordinary, in fact, the water, water vapor, rain, and clouds that everyone usually sees , ice, ice and snow. Ho ho, they are all ancient waters that are far older than the ground under our feet."

"What!" Coney was shocked.

He never doubted the knowledge his teacher said, but this was too abnormal. Who would have thought that the water he comes into contact with on a daily basis is even older than the earth.

It was a long past that he could never have imagined.

The old mage opened his hand, and some of the water droplets from the sea storm that passed by them were absorbed into his palm.

Continuously sucking in the surrounding water, Kony saw his teacher again.

Although the surroundings are pitch black, as a magician, one does not necessarily need to see things with the naked eye. He looked at the palm of the teacher's hand, and before he could utter the question, he let the old mage guess it, and then answered it first.

"You must want to ask me what the purpose of absorbing these water droplets is. In fact, they are just ordinary water, since they changed from natural magic to new water a moment ago. They are real water."

'but. ’ Coney thought, the teacher always likes to say this, and the next sentence must start with this.

"However, they still have some special functions. That's what I call them: new water. These are the real water children born by nature. Well, in some mysterious places, such as the water in the abyss In the elemental world, these young waters are quite popular with those ancient elemental creatures that are often millions of years old."

Coney suddenly realized.

He has read the manuscripts compiled by the teacher privately about the world of the underlying structure of the universe. Those deep worlds that are related to the real world but not related, the teacher called them the abyss.

Because the deep world is like a bottomless abyss, with no end in sight, just like the universe they live in.

And in those deep abyss worlds, there are elemental worlds that support the real universe.

It all makes sense.

Kony asked loudly: "There is young water of new life. Is there any particularly old water?"

The old mage smiled: "Of course there are. The trail stars (comets) in the sky, also known as broom stars by the people, have water ice that is far older than all the water in the world. They are stars Water ice in its infancy. I have flown out to find them."

Shaking his head: "Unfortunately, I was still too young at that time, and the speed of magic flying was far behind the wake stars flying in the universe. Not to mention that there are unknown lives on them that don't like outsiders to contact, let me wait in advance. The plan is also broken."

Even if the surroundings were pitch black, roaring, and a big storm flying over countless newborn water droplets, Mage Kony felt that the teacher's previous actions were no different from these.

Those things from the teacher's mouth made him feel ashamed just by hearing them, because he never thought about it, not because he didn't do it, he didn't have that ability, but he didn't even think about it. One day, go out of the world and explore the unknown world with infinite mysteries.

Thinking of this, Kony burst into tears.

"What's the matter? Little Kony, why are you crying?" The old mage wondered, why did the child cry suddenly?

The tears that flowed from the eye sockets fell, and when they fell out of the range where the old mage absorbed the water of new life, they immediately mixed with the countless water droplets that passed by, and flew towards the land regardless of each other.

He just felt that in the past countless years, he had been bound and restricted by things from his family, and everything that sent him to his teacher to study secretly bound his thoughts at the same time.

Why study magic?

At the beginning, maybe it was because his mother asked him to learn magic. A moment of learning magic made him forget the pain of the black chain passing through his chest.

Then, in order to please the harsh and indifferent father, that man asked him so, and he did everything possible to do what the man asked him to do.

Then, he learned more that he could find a way to get rid of pain in magic, but the more he studied, the less he felt that he could reach the magic height of his father.

After that, he fled. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com learned magic just to be able to stay away from the castle, the family, and everything that survived before, looking for a chance to break away from the black chain.

After that?

He was studying step by step under the guidance of his teacher. The family relationship and background allowed him to easily learn from the president of the society, and he was promoted from an apprentice to a member of the official mage of the Northern Magic Society in a very short time.

At this time, why did he learn magic?

Maybe it's because I've gotten used to it step by step. After all, the change of living environment is completely dependent on his learning magic.

In the roar of the surrounding sea storm, and in the teacher's rare puzzled eyes, Kony finally understood.

Magic is to discover everything in the world, and it is a pair of helping hands stretched out to him by the incomparably vast world.

It is his strong arm climbing to the unknown peak of the world.

It is a recipe for salvation that often appears in various church prayers.

It was the helping hand that he turned around and stretched out to the others.

-

In this big storm like the belly of a world-swallowing monster.

Coney Obers looked straight ahead.

Silently declared to the natural world:

He finally found his own.

The way of magic.

-

A continuous blue lightning flashed quickly in the roaring sea storm.

Those lightning bolts did not know where they came from, and where they went in an instant.

But at that moment, the blue light was brilliant, illuminating the pitch-black interior of the sea storm.

The old mage smiled slightly. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, his **** body, who was far away and extremely far away, faintly sent a message to tell him.

It's a good thing.
