Soul of Burning Steel

The power of magic is the power of the world.

The ubiquitous power of existence in the world, people use their own soul to control it, and then transform it into everything they want to achieve. This kind of omnipotent technique in theory is the original form of magic.

The original casters were the sages who were born with powerful souls and intelligent minds. They perceived the so-called "spirit" world in the wilderness that others of the same kind could not perceive. They thought it was a gift from God and used it. My own talents gather these 'spirits' and transform them into 'spiritual energy' that I can use, and then either create clear water out of thin air, or ignite a vigorous fire, so as to help my tribe survive the ancient times better. years.

Psychic Warlock, this is their current name, this kind of profession that relies purely on spiritual and soul talents 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 major spiritual Psychic family, their bloodline can be traced back thousands of years ago, and has never been cut off. Although most of the descendants of psionics are rare, the long-term inheritance endows them with incomparably powerful power and authority.

But now, the mainstream in the magic world is to make the soul resonate and resonate through special methods, thereby manipulating the free energy in the world and accomplishing what one wants to do.

Use perception to discover, use wisdom to understand, and use spirit to control. Magicians are not an easy job. In terms of hard work, they are no less than warriors and knights who need to practice hard day and night. In order to better understand elements and magic power 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 for becoming a magician. Before that, what ordinary people need to do is to awaken their talents and 'perceive' these energies.

Ivan Makarov, son of Andre the Orion and grandson of the scholar Edward, is doing exactly that.

In Nissier Snow Mountain, Winter Castle College, and the test hall, the first group of nearly a hundred young children or teenagers were sitting at their desks, frowning at the magic tools of various shapes in front of them.

The test of magic talent is not like in the story, just take a crystal ball and touch it all over, Ivan knew this at first, but now, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Why is it so troublesome?! "

In front of his eyes was a square black box as big as half a table, and in the middle of this box, there was a flashing red circle of light that was moving slowly.

The name of this magic tool is called [Magic Beginner's Perception Labyrinth], because there are extremely thick elemental magic elements sealed inside it, so when people with certain magical talents stare at this box, because of their concentration, A small magic light group will be ignited inside the box, and as the name suggests, the inside of the box is a small three-dimensional maze, and the tester's goal is to move the magic light group representing them to the center of the maze.

This test takes into account elemental affinity, spirit, intelligence, and attention span, so it is called the Perception Labyrinth for Magic Beginners. Generally speaking, those who can pass this test can successfully become Silver Advanced No matter how bad the mage is, he can advance to silver, and there is absolutely no possibility of being trapped in the apprenticeship.

Ivan's elemental affinity is indeed good, which means that his red light group is very bright, at least a few circles brighter than the children of the same age around him, but it is obvious that his attention is not enough, the size of this light circle The fluctuations are very violent, and the more anxious you are, the more obvious this situation will be.

Because of his grandfather's education over the past few months, Ivan knew that his current state of mind was really bad, so he simply extinguished his aperture, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.

The younger sister's talent is much better than his own. She was picked up by the instructor a few minutes ago and chose to specialize in the future courses. As an older brother, he can't let go too much.

After completely calming down, he stared at the black maze again, clicked on his own aperture, and then began to quickly follow the complicated passages in this three-dimensional maze towards its central area.

This time, it went well.

Joshua stood on a high platform in front of the test hall, staring at the children who were thinking hard or restless, with peaceful eyes, while Ying and Rin followed behind him, and their master Watching this scene together.

The newly repaired high platform had a distinct smell of lacquer. Taking a deep breath, Joshua turned around and walked towards the corridor leading to the observatory on the top floor of the academy, and the magic machines followed closely behind him. pace.

The master looks a little unhappy?

While walking quickly, Ying noticed this, she turned her head quietly, and looked at her younger 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, Winter Castle Academy officially opened, and hundreds of young girls with excellent talents came here to enroll and become the strength of Moldavia. Their future is the future of Moldavia, full of youthful enthusiasm and hope.

In such an atmosphere, how could the master still be unhappy?

Shaking his head, both Ying and Rin felt something was wrong.

After walking step by step, they arrived at the stargazing platform on the top floor. Joshua stood on the edge of the snow-covered platform, facing south, looking at the endless distance, his eyes were filled with tranquility.

Before, it wasn't that he was unhappy, it was just that he felt a little emotional after seeing the scene full of hope.

At the foot of the mountain, several convoys were slowly advancing. Because of Joshua's decree, countless mages and knights used their power to open up a wide passage between Nissie Snow Mountain and the main city. 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 snow all over the sky, as if leading directly to the other end of the world.

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

This is certainly because of the blizzard, but it is also because of the omen before the arrival of the great demon tide. As the area selected by Nostradamus with the strongest concentration of magic energy, Cold Winter Castle can discover these tiny monsters more intuitively than other places. Change.

The tide of magic is approaching, and disputes are gradually starting.

Under the tide of magic power sweeping across the multiverse, the barriers of time and space are gradually weakening, the world is about to usher in a new chapter, and the fate of countless people will be changed. It is rare to see in a hundred years, and time and space channels that can connect all worlds will appear frequently. Exchanges and wars between worlds will become more and more frequent.

Opportunities and disasters coexist, this is the best era, but also the worst era, because of an accident, he came to the Mycroft Continent, and came to a time when everything had not yet begun, but now, the prelude to burning flames has ended, A turbulent new generation is coming, and Joshua knows that he will have to experience those disasters again and face those old opponents.

At this moment, he didn't know whether it was excitement or anticipation, but he recalled those children in the test hall who were very energetic and hopeful despite their frowning faces.

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

The future of these boys and girls should be as bright as stars, but because of the changes brought about by the tide of magic power, countless disasters will befall them. Live to see the morning sun rise?

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

The dark green needles still maintain their original appearance in the howling north wind and freezing cold waves. Even if the branches are frosted and bend the branches under pressure, it will not affect its uprightness.

What am I thinking so much about?

Joshua suddenly felt that his previous emotion was a little funny.

When did I become so sentimental?

Shaking his head, he chuckled lightly, which was a slight self-mockery.

Just like the evergreen pine wood, it needs to be tempered by wind and frost, and the young seeds naturally have to go through hardships. People are creatures that need hardships to grow, and everything in the future should be a part of their lives. I worry about them on my behalf. These are really too much to worry about.

No matter how much wind, frost, rain and snow they experience, the seeds will eventually germinate, and the sprouts can break through the stubborn rocks and soak up the sunshine. No matter how difficult the times are, Joshua believes that they will be able to break through the haze and grow up , and then stood by his side.

Both Ying and Rin also noticed that their master's mood seemed to be getting better, and just when the three of them were about to leave the observatory and return to the test hall, a burst of space-time fluctuations came.

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

"Joshua."

Before the soldier could speak, the old mage who suddenly appeared said with a serious face, "You're right."

He spoke very directly and hastily, without giving anyone any time to answer: "The dragon disaster has already begun."

Dragon woe?

Ying blinked, she felt that the word was familiar, and Rin recalled some words that Joshua Shen had said to them, his complexion changed slightly, and he immediately reacted.

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

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

Driven by the magic power of Nostradamus, this map of the Far South covered by blue and emerald green began to undergo various wonderful changes. First of all, the blue sea suddenly turned red from a certain island. Not long after that, dense red dots spread all over the edges of the coast.

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

"Is this the current situation?" Of course Joshua understood what these red dots represented, he frowned and said, "Is there any more detailed video information?"

"Of course there is."

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

In the light curtain, it shows a certain coast in the far south. In the originally deep blue and peaceful sky, black clouds suddenly appeared. Accompanied by the sudden surging tide, the turbid magic power is gathering, it looks like a huge tentacle Generally covering the sky, layers of cyan lightning flashed around it, and between the rolling clouds, countless densely packed black spots gushed out of them, rushing towards the shore.

Accompanied by rumbling thunder, these black figures were illuminated by blue electric light.

These are all dragons.

Countless wild dragons entwined with black and purple aura flapped their strong wings, gushed out from the depths of the black haze, and then marched towards the human kingdom. They roared loudly, making dragon cries that seemed to destroy everything.

But in contrast, not long after the cloud appeared, pillars of light rose from the ground, piercing through the black clouds like sharp knives, and scattered them. Under this huge force, countless affected people The wild dragons also screamed and fell into the earth and ocean, turning into scattered lumps of meat.

This is the power of the magic circle that has been prepared in the coastal cities, the conspiracy of the five-color dragons, the human kingdom in the far south is not ignorant, they have already retreated most of the people, and plan to use these coastal cities as fortresses , to delay the spread of the dragon group and prepare for the next counterattack.

Seeing this scene, Joshua couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

Once upon a time, he was also a member of those coastal cities who responded to the dragon tide attack. At this time, he was in the far south, leading his team to fight against the infinite dragon beast.

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

The archmage sighed: "It's another disaster. Fortunately, the empire is ready to deal with it."

But Joshua shook his head.

It wasn't a catastrophe... compared to what happened after that, it was nothing at all.

"This is just a prologue."

He murmured to himself, and then walked towards the corridor leading to the test hall: "Belongs to the world of strife, the prelude to a new era."
