Chapter 21 Floating Snow!
Due to the delay, Megi and Emma did not cross the salt marsh as planned, but planned to stay here for another day.
After Emma entered the tent to sleep, Meiji was still sitting by the fire. The little fairy did not hide herself, but fell on a small stone and sat alone. The moonlight sprinkled on her body, like a quietly resting butterfly.
It's still very hot during the day, but it's so cold in the middle of the night. Megie was wrapped in a blanket.
"Can you tell me about that person?" He asked.
The little fairy was quiet for a long time before slowly saying, "Actually, you should have heard of his name. His name is Bodeance!"
"The legendary dark magician whose strength is close to that of ancient gods?" Meggie took a deep breath. No matter how ignorant he is, it is impossible for Meggie not to hear this person's name. It is said that he is the most powerful magician since a hundred years of darkness, and his mastery and application of magic has reached an amazing level.
"But isn't he an alchemist?" The dark magician is the kind of magician who has not signed magic contracts with any unnatural creatures such as demons or fairies, but only relies on his own efforts to master magic.
"No, he wasn't, or he wasn't at the beginning." The little fairy looked into the distance and said lonelyly, "When he was a child, he had become my magic contractor. He is very qualified and works very hard. I have always been proud of him and happy for himself. You know, for Fury, it would be the greatest achievement if he could make his contractor an outstanding magician. Living for magic and cultivating magicians that we can be proud of is the only important thing in our life.
Of course, Meiji understands what she said. When he was a child, he heard Black Annes, who raised him, talk about Frey.
"As he grew up, he gradually became an excellent natural mage. At least at that time, no one could beat him in magic. Many people think that his achievements are close to gods. Although he only studied the natural department, he is talented and even knows the magic of other departments clearly, and learns from the essence of it. Those days were the happiest time in my life. I also became the envy of all the little fairies and little witches. We created new magic together and visited famous magicians and witches around the world together. We also visited your mother in the fog girl forest together. Unfortunately, she was not there at that time. However, as he gets older, his temper gets worse and worse. Because his magical attainments can no longer improve..."
"But isn't he already the most powerful magician?"
"Yes, but it's not enough for him." The little fairy shook her head, "Because of the magic contract with me, he can only learn the magic of nature, but he has nothing to learn. He has reached the extreme of natural magic. He has entered a dead end. At least in this world, no one can surpass him, but he can no longer surpass himself. I can only keep comforting him. After all, no matter what, he and I have indeed stood at the top of the level of magic that can be achieved in the world. However, for him, this is not enough. In his eyes, there is only magic... magic that is not bound by anything.
Mage listened quietly.
"Until one day, he suddenly told me that maybe the reason why he couldn't go further was that he was bound by the identity of a natural magician. In the past, he liked to think from different angles, and I have always admired him. However, that was the first time I was afraid. He wants to learn the magic of other departments to see if he can find a new way out. I kept telling him that it was useless, because although he could not use the magic of other departments due to my relationship, in terms of knowledge alone, our research on the magic of those factions is not even as good as the top magicians in those factions, and there is nothing worth learning. However, he didn't listen at all. He felt that it was the only way for him to break through himself. He pretended to promise that I would not think about it again. Although I was still uneasy, I believed his words. However, one day, I woke up in pain from my sleep, and my whole body seemed to be burned by fire, and I suddenly couldn't feel him anymore, as if he had disappeared from the world. I struggled to fly to his room and saw him... He..."
"What did he do?"
"He turned himself into a lich." The little fairy choked, "He violated the law of life and transformed himself into a lich through the magic array..."
Meji was stunned, and then soon understood. Once the magic contract is signed, it cannot be dissolved unless one of them dies. However, in order to cut off his connection with the little fairy, Bode Andres did not hesitate to violate the law of life and turned himself into an immortal monster. Free is a creature based on the law of life. When their contractors die in an unnatural way, it often causes great harm to them. What's more, that person forcibly cuts off the spiritual connection between him and the little fairy in such a blasphemous way...
In order to continue to move forward magically, he did not hesitate to let the little fairy die!
Mage's heart is not only tingling, but also deeply angry.
"I was seriously injured, not only because the magic contract was forcibly torn, but also because the negative energy penetrated into my body through mental transmission in the process of his transformation into a lich, but compared with the pain in my heart, those are nothing. I escaped to the fog forest and slept there for more than 30 years before waking up..."
Meggie was silent, and she was also silent.
I don't know how long it took before the little fairy sighed slowly.
"Later, I went to visit your mother, when you were still young. There are some things that I have never figured out. At the moment when the magic contract between me and him was cut off, I seemed to see something that I had never seen before. I think that was the last picture I saw with him. At that time, I could feel that his heart was as confused as I was. After studying with your mother, I began to understand what it was... For some special reason, the origin of the world appeared in front of me and him at that moment. Although his original purpose of becoming a lich was to learn the magic of other factions, I think he really found a breakthrough in magic... because he saw the origin of the world.
"The origin of the world? What is that?"
"I can't explain this to you for the time being." The little fairy flew to him, "At your current level, you don't need to understand it..."
"Maybe I will never get there." Meiji whispered, "I mean, how can I reach that person's height? If you want me to surpass him..."
"No, you're wrong!" The little fairy looked at him, "I don't want you to surpass his achievements, although I really want to prove that even if he doesn't leave me, he will one day break through himself. However, you are you, he is him, and I will never compare you with him. That is meaningless and unfair to you. But Meggie, don't underestimate yourself. Do you really think I'm just casually looking for someone to sign a magic contract with me? Meggie, you have your strengths, which are unmatched by others. Moreover, even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe me. You know, I'm a..."
"Great little fairy?!" Meiji laughed.
"That's right."
"Well, it seems that I need to start working hard."
"Well, that's what you should do." The little fairy flew around him, " By the way, I haven't told you my name, have I? Frey also has a name. Didn't you ever mean to ask?
"Well, I just forgot to ask..."
"Forget for more than half a year? Well, I have to say that you are really rude sometimes. The little fairy covered her mouth and smiled, "Floating snow!"
"What?"
"I mean, my name is 'Flying Snow'!"
"What a strange name..." Meiji scratched her head.
"Fly's names are all like this. I'm good at it. I also know a Frey whose name is Flying Pig."
"..." Meiji was speechless. However, when you think about it, this kind of name is actually nothing. The name of the elf is generally more strange than this. At least, there is a forced elf in the fog girl forest. Its name is 'I didn't find it but I was found by her, so I couldn't escape, but she escaped...'
......
The sky has gradually brightened, and the yellow sand in the distance is like a bubble spit out by a Mirage.
Meggie opened the scroll left by the old warlock.
"This is the illusion he showed to you at the beginning," the little fairy quickly understood the magic on the scroll. "It should be admitted that his magic is indeed quite original. It is the first time I have seen someone combine eclipse and illusion. First, a lock array composed of many prismic spells is built, and then the refraction and intersection of light create a fantasy. Although it is not complicated, it is indeed exquisite. This illusion is not only constant. As long as no one removes it, it will exist forever and can be woven by the caster himself.
"But what exactly is the lock?" Meiji asked.
The little fairy stretched out her hand and gently stroked, and a thin light belt appeared beside her. This light belt is composed of colorful magic characters, which looks like a beautiful music score.
"The lock is a matrix composed of ancient elf characters created by the elves. Its principle is actually similar to that of the magic array, but it is transparent, three-dimensional, and more exquisite and gorgeous. Just like a successful poet can form a gorgeous poem with simple words. Through this matrix, a able magician can also arrange the magic characters written in the void to produce a specific effect. The little fairy flew away and asked Meiji to observe the light belt she drew. "Let's see how many spells are hidden in it."
Meggie looked carefully, and the flashing characters easily dazzled his eyes at the beginning. However, after a while, he gradually saw all the characters inside, and his face slowly showed surprise: "The first few characters are the spells of seven rainbow lights, and the green characters and the green characters behind them form a flash, and the several characters that have been beating are connected into a shadow door... ”
This small light strip hides more than a dozen spells.
"However, even if this simple spell is triggered, it is not powerful, is it?" Meiji asked doubtfully. This is like the same fireball technique, which is performed by a thin Flee, which is definitely far from the effect of an elf magician. The spells simply arranged in the air are supported by losing enough magic. Even if they are triggered, it is difficult to imagine what role they can play.
"That's of course," the little fairy nodded, "but although a single spell can't play a role, if countless spells are programmed and arranged, it can produce unexpected effects. It's like writing an article. Of course, simple words are useless, but if they are choreographed by bards, But it may become a moving poem. And the lock itself is like a string of phrases and single sentences. Only excellent magicians can set up a large range of air magic arrays that others can't see through their mutual connection and influence... that is, the 'magic matrix'.
The little fairy began to explain the principle and structure of the magic matrix to him in detail.
