[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

Ace doesn't have time to care what other people think.When he was still on the way back to the caravan, he couldn't wait to enter the state of meditation, observing the state of the elements with the vision of spiritual power.

——The task assigned by the Grand Duchess has been completed, and now no one can stop him from studying magic!

Looking at those colorful magic elements, Ace couldn't help but feel his heart surge.He walked aggressively towards the caravan, not noticing that he nearly ran into someone several times.Fortunately, the caravan was not far from the temporarily vacated tent, so he walked back safely.

Compared with the Maris Continent, this continent does not have such dense magic elements. Although the difficulty of casting spells is reduced due to his strong spiritual power, the gap will be widened later on. .

It's not that Ace has not noticed this, but the growth of spiritual power is very difficult. If you want to keep pace with the current delicate balance, you must cross the realm of the Dharma Saint or even the Dharma God in one go-just kidding, if the Fa If it was so easy for Shenghe Fashen to do it, how could he be called the "Glory of Water" as a magister? ?

But today, this barrier is easily broken.Ace's mental power remained at the original level, but the speed of gathering magic elements was much faster than before.According to the data from the experiment just now (huh?), the speed has been increased by at least 20.00%... If this is on the battlefield, such a considerable speed increase is enough to be the key to determining the outcome of life and death!

Today's Ace does not need to use magic to fight like he did on the continent of Maris. He is more concerned about how to break through the layers of magic realm and find a way to return.So this kind of thing that is enough to make other magicians feel envious and jealous after knowing it, for him, the biggest effect is to reduce the time for researching spells.After all, in addition to the accumulation of magic power and the polishing of spiritual power, understanding and casting of magic spells is also an important criterion for judging strength.

The magic spell itself is a kind of spell suitable for human beings combined with the language of the ancient gods. Although I don’t know much about the magic spells of the light system, Ace is also a great demon who has been running for the Holy Spirit since he was born. Instructor, almost all the spells of the water system are engraved in the soul, from the most basic zero-level spells to the almost lost forbidden spells.If we can study the parts of these spells that really work, change their order and combine them, maybe we can create a rich enough light spell.

Because of this body's superb light talent, the risk of him becoming obsessed due to indiscriminate use of spells is greatly reduced.If this plan goes ahead, when he returns to the Maris Continent, he may be directly called into the God Realm as a Dharma Saint or a Dharma God, and become the servant of the God of Light...

... Seems like something is wrong?

... He is clearly aiming at the throne of the goddess of water, hey! !

Apart from these accidents, Ace is also very concerned about the reasons for this change.It can cover up the traces of spellcasting and speed up the speed of spellcasting. Ace has no other ideas except for magic tools.But is it the bandages, or something else that caused this...

His first thought was what Bashir had seen.Because of time constraints, I didn't have time to look at it, but now I can take a look... Is there something on his face?

Ace took off the bandage first, and tried to use a lighting technique.This time the light wasn't covered up, and the ball of light stood perfectly on his fingertips.Immediately afterwards, he used another water mirror technique, and found that the casting speed was still increasing, and had not been reduced at all.

It seems that the bandage is not the reason... Ace adjusted the mirror to a suitable angle and reflected his own shadow.With the help of the lighting technique, he clearly saw the figure on the water...but!

……what is that! ?

Ace stared dumbfounded at the reflection in the mirror, unable to recover for a long time.Chuangshi God's footwashing water!Why did he suddenly have two strange eyeliners on his eyes! ?What is that strange pattern under the left eye! ! ?

"Ah, it's the Eye of Horus..." A voice sounded from behind him, "I've expected this for a long time, yes, it's exactly this."

Ace turned around angrily: "This thing has something to do with you!?"

His tone was very bad, but the old man seemed unaware of his anger, and instead smiled happily: "This is a good thing, Ace... It's great that you have been recognized by it. Just now It's because of your idiosyncrasies... yes, your idiosyncrasies." He circled around Ace and exclaimed, "Very beautiful. You will always be with me."

Ace hid his anger and said coldly, "Should you explain something to me?"

Those words with unclear meaning before, those things that seemed to be promises and prophecies... the priest must have known these things a long time ago!He deliberately let this happen!

The priest admitted what he had done very frankly, but it didn't make Ace feel a little better.In his description, the pattern on Ace's face has a special name called the Eye of Horus.Horus is the eagle-headed god of ancient Egypt. It is said that the left eye represents the moon and the right eye represents the sun.His left eye was once taken away by a hostile god, and then given back to his father, Olexis, the god of the underworld.The meaning of this eye is also very good, it is a talisman to distinguish good from evil, defend health and happiness, but...

"It has extraordinary magic power and is a very effective amulet. We believe it also has the ability to regenerate and revive people, so...it is usually not painted on the face." The priest shrugged and stepped back Taking a step forward, "Some pharaoh's mummies have seen such things..."

"..." Ace tilted his neck, put his hands together, and there was a crackling sound between his finger bones, "What kind of burial do you want, sir?"

He didn't care about the so-called prophecies and the future, but he couldn't tolerate the priest reminding him in such a way—as if telling him inadvertently that no matter how he chose, he couldn't escape the established fate.

"...However, I don't think these meanings have anything to do with you, after all, you are not an Egyptian." Padiamon said to him, "The gods of Egypt will only protect the people of Egypt, and they have their own way to distinguish themselves. The method of believers, so I don't think your Eye of Horus is really related to Horus. Speaking of it, although it is the sacrifice of God Amon, I haven't felt the divine call of God Amon for a long time... ..."

Having said that, he paused for a while before continuing: "However, the meaning of the Eye of Horus is still very good. Do you have any special feelings?"

Ace shook his head.Even if it is a tattoo, it will not be unresponsive to the adsorbing water element, but the pattern appearing on his face does not seem to be made of paint... He couldn't help but focus on the window that was still on the window. Is it related to the crown?

Ace has carefully studied the parchment scrolls given by the priest, and there are records of the pharaoh's curse, but the meaning of the Eye of Horus is completely opposite to the curse... Just as the priest said, he doesn't think What blessings did the Egyptian gods give themselves?But if it's not a curse, and it's not a blessing, what is it?

Paddy Ammon noticed that his eyes turned to the crown, so he shook his head and picked it up: "Don't look at it, it has nothing to do with the crown itself. But... remember what I said before, I want to teach you something ?"

Ace showed a surprised look: "Have you ever said such a thing? Ah, sorry, I really can't remember. If you really want to teach your apprentices or something, I think Halimu and the others are good."

Paddy Amon: "..."

"However, if you must cry and beg me to learn from you, I don't mind listening to you with condescension." Ace waved his hands lazily, showing a helpless look, "After all, you are so old. If you really reject you, I will feel bad conscience."

Paddy Amon: "...where did you learn your thick skin?"

Ace patted him on the shoulder with a smirk: "Your Excellency, don't be too humble. Besides you, who else has such a wonderful ability?"

"..."

There was a look of dumbfounding on the face of the priest: "I think you may have misunderstood something..." He raised the crown, looked at it for a moment, and put his thumb on the cobra's fangs.With just a light touch, a small and exquisite gem spit out from the snake's mouth - it looks only the size of a fingernail, but it shines with a charming halo, and there is a very obvious vertical line in the middle, like a cat's pupil. Quiet colors.

It was clearly an emerald.

"I said I would teach you in Marseilles, just waiting for its arrival." The priest took Ace's hand and solemnly put it in his palm, "I only know that you will find it, but you will not find it." I don't know how you'll find it. It's not a prophecy, Emerald, it's just because I trust you."

He seems to have easily seen through Ace's thoughts, so he is also trying to untie Ace's knot in his heart with sincere words: "This is the essence of your soul, the reason you were born. You don't think it is very intimate ?"

With a sneer on his lips, Ace held the gem in his palm.The faceted gem is undoubtedly hard and sharp, but no matter how tightly he holds it, it is like a smooth pebble, lying docilely and gently in his hand.He even felt a certain calling from it, as if the gem itself was expecting its own arrival.

Of course he could understand that if his feeling was correct, this gemstone should be a rare treasure.However, the uneasiness of being watched by others still lingers in his heart for a long time, which makes him unable to let go easily.

"I don't trust you, Lord Sacrifice." He said frankly, "Just as you don't trust me at all."
