Soul of Burning Steel

The power of magic is the power of the world.

The ubiquitous power of existence between heaven and earth, people use their own souls to manipulate them, and then transform them into everything they want to achieve. In theory, this omnipotent technique is the original form of magic.

The first spellcasters were born sages with powerful souls and clever minds. In the wild, they perceive the so-called "spiritual" world that other people cannot perceive. They think this is a gift from heaven and use it. Your talents gather these'spirits' and transform them into'spiritual energy' that you can use, and then either transform into clear water out of thin air, or light up a great fire, so as to help your tribe better survive the ancient times. Years.

Psionicist, this is their current name. This kind of profession that relies purely on spirit and soul talent is no longer the mainstream of the magic world, but this does not hinder their noble status. In the Western Mountain Kingdom, there are three great spirits. The family of the noble warlocks, their bloodline can be traced back thousands of years, and has never been cut off. Although most of the offspring of the psionic warlocks are rare, their long inheritance has given them these incomparable strengths and powers.

Now, the mainstream of the magical world uses special methods to make the soul resonate, thereby manipulating the free energy in the world and accomplishing what you want to do.

Use perception to discover, use wisdom to understand, and use spirit to control. Magicians are not an easy job. In terms of their hard work, they are no less than warriors and knights who need to train day and night, in order to better understand the elements and magic. The nature of, they need to calculate and analyze all the time, so that they can combine the spells they want in an instant when they need it.

Of course, the above are just the basic skills to become a magician. Before that, what ordinary people need to do is to awaken their talents and ‘perceive’ these energies.

Ivan Makarov, son of Orion André and grandson of scholar Edward, is doing exactly this kind of thing now.

Nissi Snow Mountain, Winterhold College, in the testing hall, the first group of nearly a hundred young children or teenagers are sitting at their tables, frowning at the magical instruments of various shapes in front of them.

The test of magic talent is not the same as in the story. Just take a crystal ball and touch it. Ivan originally knew this, but now, he can't help but complain in a low voice: "Why is it so troublesome?! "

What was placed before his eyes was a square black box the size of half a table, and in the middle of this box, there was a flashing red halo that was slowly moving.

The name of this magic tool is called [Maze of Perception for Beginners of Magic]. Because it contains a very dense concentration of elemental magic elements, people with a certain magical talent stare at this box because of its concentration of spirit. It will ignite a small magic light ball inside the box, and as the name suggests, the inside of the box is a small three-dimensional maze. The tester's goal is to move the magic light ball representing them to the center of the maze.

This test takes into account elemental affinity, spirit, intelligence and attention duration at the same time, so it is called the perception labyrinth of magic beginners. Generally speaking, people who can pass this test can smoothly become high-level silver The mage of, no matter how bad he is, he can advance to Silver, and there is no possibility of being trapped in the apprenticeship.

Ivan’s elemental affinity is indeed good, which means that his red light cluster is very bright, at least a few times brighter than the children of the same age around him, but obviously, his attention is not enough, the size of this aperture The fluctuation is very intense, the more anxious, the more obvious this situation.

Because of his grandfather's several months of education, Ivan knew that his current mentality was indeed not good, so he simply blocked his aperture, then closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

My younger sister's talent is much better than her own. She was picked up by her instructor a few minutes ago and chose a specialization course in the future. As an older brother, he can't pull down too much.

After calming down completely, he stared at the black labyrinth again, lit his own aperture, and then began to quickly follow the complicated passages in the three-dimensional labyrinth toward its central area.

This time, it went well.

Qiao Xiuya stood on a high platform in front of the testing hall, staring at the children who were thinking, thinking, or restless, and there was peace in their eyes, while Ying and Rin followed him and their master. Watching this scene together.

The newly repaired high platform has a clear smell of paint. After taking a deep breath, Qiao Xiu turned around, and then walked towards the corridor leading to the academy's top star observatory. The magical machines followed him closely. pace.

The owner looks a little unhappy?

While walking quickly, Ying noticed this, she quietly turned her head, and looked at her brother, and Rin nodded slightly, indicating that she had also discovered it.

why?

The same doubt arises in the two hearts, which is indeed a difficult thing to understand.

Today, Winterhold College is officially opened. Hundreds of young girls with excellent talents come here to enroll and become the power of Moldavia. Their future is Moldavia's future, full of youthful enthusiasm and hope.

In such an atmosphere, how could the owner be unhappy?

She shook her head, whether it was Ying or Rin, it felt very wrong.

And walking one step at a time, I came to the top star observatory. Joshua stood at the edge of the snow-covered platform, facing the south, looking at the endless distance, and there was peace in his eyes.

Before, he was not unhappy, just because he saw the hopeful scene before, and he was a little emotional.

At the foot of the mountain, several convoys are slowly advancing, because of Joshua’s decree, countless mages and knights have used their power to open a wide passage between Nissi Snow Mountain and the main city. This passage is of course. It will be covered by snow, but the road signs that appear from time to time in the middle will not make people lose their way in the vast snow field.

This passage extends endlessly towards the south, passing through the sky and snow, as if directly leading to the other side of the world.

In Joshua’s eyes, among these flying snowflakes, there is not only the misty snow and dust, but also countless lingering white mists, which represent the elements of ice and freezing, and every minute and every second, The white magic power is slowly increasing, becoming stronger and stronger.

This is certainly because of the snowstorm, but also because of the harbinger before the arrival of the Great Demon Tide. As the region selected by Nostradamus with the strongest mana concentration, Winterhold can more intuitively discover these tiny things than other places. change.

The demonic tide is approaching, and the disputes begin to rise.

Under the magic tide sweeping far away in the universe, the time-space barrier is gradually weakening, the world is about to usher in a new chapter, and the destiny of countless people will be changed. The exchanges and wars between the two worlds will become more and more frequent.

Opportunities and disasters coexist. This is the best time and the worst time. Because of an accident, he came to Mycroft and came to a time when everything hadn’t even begun. Now, the prologue of burning flames is over. The turbulent new generation is coming, and Joshua knows that he has to experience those disasters again and face those old opponents.

At this moment, not knowing whether it was excitement or anticipation, he recalled the children in the test hall who, although frowning, were very energetic and whose expressions were full of hope.

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

The future of these young girls should be as bright as stars, but because of the changes brought about by the magic tide, countless disasters will befall them. I don’t know how many people will be able to Live to see the rising dawn?

Turning his head, he inadvertently saw a pine wood hanging from the cliff halfway up the mountain.

The dark green needles still maintain their original appearance between the howling north wind and freezing cold waves. Even if the branches are frosted and the branches are compressed and bent, they can't affect its standing upright.

What do I want so much for?

Qiao Xiu suddenly felt that his previous emotions were a bit funny.

When did I become so sentimental?

Shaking his head, he chuckled lightly, a little self-deprecating.

Just like the evergreen pine, it needs to be tempered by wind and frost. Young seeds naturally have to go through hardships. Humans are creatures that need hardships to grow. Everything in the future should be a part of their lives, and they should worry about them on their own. These are really too worrying.

No matter what kind of wind, frost, rain, and snow, the seeds will eventually germinate, and the young shoots can break through the rock and bathe in the sun, even in the times of suffering, Joshua believes that they will surely break through the haze and grow up. , And then stood beside him.

Ying and Rin also noticed that their master's mood seemed to be getting better, and just as the three of them were about to leave the observatory and return to the test hall, a wave of temporal and spatial fluctuations came.

With the faint blue ripples flowing, Nostradamus' figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Joshua."

Before the warrior could speak, the old mage who appeared suddenly said with a serious face: "You are right."

What he said was very direct and hasty, and he didn't give anyone any time to answer: "The dragon's calamity has already begun."

Dragon blight?

Ying blinked. She felt that the word was a bit familiar, while Rin recalled some words that Joshua had said to them. His expression changed slightly and he immediately reacted.

At this time, Nostradamus took out a magic map from his arms, and Joshua didn't say much, but strode forward and walked to the old mage's side.

This is a magic map, just like the map hanging in the warrior's room. The magic on the map can connect it to the database of the Imperial Royal Mage Association and display various information in real time.

Motivated by the magic of Nostradamus, this map of the Far South, covered in blue and emerald green, began to undergo various miraculous changes. First, the blue sea suddenly turned red from a certain island. After a while, dense red spots spread all over the edge of the coast.

"Now, the coastal borders of the Far South Kingdom have encountered a full-scale raid." The old mage said concisely: "This news has spread throughout the entire continent."

"This is the current status?" Of course, Joshua understood what these red dots meant. He frowned and said, "Is there any more detailed image information?"

"Of course there is."

After that, with the concentration of magic power, Nostradamus easily projected a detailed image in the atmosphere through the link of this magic map.

The light curtain shows a certain coast in the far south. In the originally deep blue and serene sky, black clouds suddenly appeared. Accompanied by the sudden surge of turbulent ocean tides, the magic of turbidity is converging, like huge tentacles. Generally covering the sky, layers of cyan lightning flashed around it, and between the rolling clouds, countless dense black dots gushed out of it and rushed towards the shore.

Accompanied by the rumbling thunder, these black figures were illuminated by cyan electric lights.

These are all dragons.

Countless mad dragons with dark and purple scents flapped their strong wings, gushing from the depths of the black haze, and then headed towards the kingdom of mankind~www.novelmtl.com~ They roared loudly, as if they were about to destroy Longming of everything.

However, in contrast, shortly after the appearance of the dark clouds, beams of light rose from the ground, piercing the black clouds like a sharp blade, and dispersing them. Under this huge force, countless people were affected. The mad dragons also screamed and fell into the earth and the ocean, turning into masses of scattered flesh.

This is the power of the magic circle that has been prepared for a long time in coastal cities, and the conspiracy of the five-color dragons. The human kingdom in the far south is not ignorant. They have long retreated most of the people and plan to use these coastal cities as fortresses. , Delaying the spread of the dragons, and preparing for the next counterattack.

When seeing this scene, Joshua's heart couldn't help but a trace of nostalgia.

Once upon a time, he was also a member of those coastal cities to deal with dragon tide attacks. At this time, he was in the far south, leading his team to fight with infinite dragons and beasts.

"Joshua, what you said is true...These dragons have been planning for a long time, and they have been prepared for at least hundreds of years."

The Arch Mage sighed: "It's another disaster. Fortunately, the Empire is ready to deal with it."

But Qiao Xiu shook her head.

This is not a disaster...Compared to those things afterwards, this is nothing at all.

"This is just a prologue."

He muttered to himself, and then walked towards the corridor leading to the test hall: "It belongs to the world of disputes, the prologue of a new era."
