Arcane Age

Since it was a visit to the other party's door, Xi Wei naturally would not teleport directly into the other party's mountain gate, but instead informed the Zhike monk at the foot of Yunlan Mountain.

Xi Wei's image once appeared on the front page of "Paali Daily". As a man of the hour, he was naturally well known to knowledgeable guests, so he quickly greeted the owner of Violet with grand etiquette.

Along the way, under the guidance of four white-robed monks, we walked along the simple stone steps with mottled green grass. The bells rang out on the top of the mountain, thirty-six times in total. It was the Yunlan Sect welcoming the most distinguished guests. The etiquette used.

Xi Wei and Natalia climbed up the steps. There were martial arts arenas and courtyards everywhere in the mountains, which perfectly blended with the surrounding nature. They were like islands on the sea, connected by green paths, giving it a rather elegant feel. flavor.

As far as I can see, many monks are doing morning exercises, wearing martial arts uniforms of various colors including blue, red, white and green. They are neatly linked to various martial arts drills. There are also many people sitting quietly, taking in their breaths. It was the monk who had begun to practice breathing techniques.

King's Castle is located at the junction of the three continents Oriente, Afric, and Shenzhou. The human race here is also the most diverse. There are people with all kinds of hair and body shapes, but they are all practicing martial arts. This shows that the great master style Yunlan's influence is profound.

After climbing all the way, we finally reached the top of the mountain. We were surrounded by green bamboos, clear mountain streams, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. It felt like we were in a paradise. There is a small pavilion at the highest point of the mountain, and an elder is inside.

The four white-robed monks stopped, and Zhike indicated that this elder was the master of Yunlan Mountain, Grand Master Liu Yunlan.

This elder has white hair and a childlike face. He is a pure Chinese like Yang. Although he is over two hundred years old, his skin is rosy and wrinkle-free. He seems to be in perfect harmony with the whole nature with every breath. Zen mind said The rhyme lingered on him inadvertently.

Liu Yunlan turned around, his eyes stopped on Natalia for a moment, then looked at Xiwei carefully, nodded repeatedly with a satisfied smile, and then said: "I thought Master Xiwei broke in. Nuo Da's reputation is just luck, and I realized it was no accident when I met you today. I'm so glad to meet you!"

Grand Master Liu Yunlan was by no means a good person when he was young. He traveled throughout the Orient continent, challenged countless strong men, and accumulated countless experiences in battles. Finally, he became a Grand Master, founded a sect, and established a sect. Castle.

"This is my fiancée Natalia. She was favored by His Excellency the Lord of the Dawn and was given the 'Mountain and Sea' breathing method. Although she has achieved some success through diligent practice, she still owes some success. Today I took the liberty to come to my door. Visit and ask the Grand Master for advice." You must know that the "Mountain and Sea" breathing method in Natalia's body was created by Liu Yunlan after he became a Grand Master. Even in the Yunlan Sect, only a few martial arts at the highest level are Only monks can practice, which was exactly what Liu Yunlan meant when he looked at Natalia, so Xi Wei chose to get straight to the point.

"Sure enough, it's from the Lord of Dawn!" Liu Yunlan stroked his long beard: "The Lord of Dawn once helped me perfect the healing method of true energy, so I gave her a copy of the inheritance of 'Mountain and Sea'. I hope I can pass it on to a destined person, and it seems that Miss Natalia is such a destined person!"

"Your Majesty, Grand Master, since I have practiced 'Mountain and Sea', you are my mentor. I hope you can give me some pointers so that I can avoid detours." Natalia stepped forward and became a monk. Disciple ceremony.

Liu Yunlan glanced at Natalia: "Do you have high-level bloodline power flowing in your body?"

"Exactly, there are two different sources of blood power in the disciple's body, both of which are legendary." There is no way to hide this, and there is no need to hide it.

"Although there are not many taboos among monks, the power of bloodline is one of them. Having bloodline will naturally change the meridians in the body. There are two bloodline powers hidden in your body. One of them is unparalleled, like the red sun. The rising of the east is like a king over the world; the second is graceful and elegant, like the breeze blowing on the face, like the waves of the sea of ​​clouds. If you only have the second bloodline, you are a genius of the monks, but with the blood of the overlord, in the monks It’s just too difficult!”

Liu Yunlan said calmly.

Natalia couldn't hide her disappointment. After all, she came with great expectations, but she didn't expect that the golden lion bloodline in her body would become an obstacle.

However, Xi Wei heard the deep meaning in Liu Yunlan's words. Just because he couldn't practice as a warrior monk, it didn't mean that Liu Yunlan couldn't give him guidance.

Sure enough, Liu Yunlan's voice changed: "But the 'Mountain and Sea' breathing method was created after I became a great master. It transcends the limits of the human body and takes Mount Tai to cross the North Sea. This is the method of becoming an immortal, using the blood of the Overlord. The mountain is made of the blood of the hermit, and if you can understand it, your future will be limitless!"

The blood changes the body, and the breathing method acts on the body, so the two influence each other and in most cases conflict with each other.

But in the eyes of the Grand Master, Natalia is a perfect embryo who practices "Mountain and Sea". She is more talented than any of his apprentices. The power of two different bloodlines turns into "Mountain and Sea". Even he himself was fascinated by the final achievement.

"Please ask the Grand Master to teach me!" Natalia said excitedly.

Liu Yunlan smiled and said nothing.

"You haven't met Master yet!" Xi Wei reminded him quickly.

"Disciple pays homage to the master!" Natalia quickly knelt down and kowtowed in accordance with the inherited etiquette of the monk profession.

Liu Yunlan received the great gift, then raised her hands slightly, and Natalia stood up straight again.

"I haven't had a disciple for thirty years, but I didn't expect that I would get such a good disciple today!" Liu Yunlan's face glowed red: "You should have fun drinking!"

"Grand Master, I have two jars of fine wine here for you!" Xi Wei casually took out two jars of fine wine. Even through the ceramics and sealing cloth, you could easily smell the rich and mellow aroma of the wine.

Liu Yunlan is good at wine, but has never been drunk, so Xiwei specially asked Ling to brew a wine that can be called a world-famous wine. The original intention was to earn Liu Yunlan a few words of advice, but he did not expect that the trip would go so smoothly, so he naturally followed the trend. Became a celebratory wine.

You must know that the brewing methods of Oriente Continent and the brewing methods of China Continent are naturally completely different. The older Liu Yunlan gets, the more he misses everything about his hometown. He has brewed according to his memory many times, but it is always not as good as in his memories. It's fragrant. When I smelled it today, my whole body was in high spirits, and all the alcohol bugs in my stomach were hooked out.

"Good wine, good wine! Enjoy it, enjoy it!" Liu Yunlan moved his right hand, and a jar of wine was directly in his hand. With a tap, the seal was opened, and the light brown wine rushed down and went straight into his belly. It was really a pleasure. Extremely.

"Master, if you like it, there will be no limit on this wine. As soon as it is brewed, it will be delivered to you immediately!" Natalia said quickly.

"No, no, no! This wine is sweet and fragrant. It must have been aged for many years. It cannot be made quickly!" Liu Yunlan said regretfully. In an instant, half the jar of wine was in his stomach, and he was reluctant to drink anymore.

"Grand Master, Xi Wei came here today to ask for something!" Xi Wei started the topic again.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yunlan asked seriously.

"The Kuo-Tao murlocs are wreaking havoc on the Golden Sea, blocking shipping lanes, and killing humans. Both Castle and Violet are pearls on the golden sea. Xi Wei wants to join forces with the Grand Master to decisively fight the Kuo-Tao murlocs and destroy the demon portal!" Xi Wei said Got the intention.

Liu Yunlan sighed softly and turned his back to face the green bamboo sea: "Since the departure of the Lord of Glory and the establishment of the Dark Council, wars have been in full swing and lives have been devastated. In less than a year, tens of millions of people have died, and even more Countless people have endured pain and torture. I am a visitor from China, but I have lived in Oriente for far longer than China. Kingsburg is my second hometown! I have long had the intention of decisively fighting the Dark Parliament, but the light camp is scattered and each has his own way. We are powerless to fight, so we can only stand still! The disaster caused by the Kuo Tao fish people is the most serious to you and me, so I will accept this battle!"

King's Castle is located at the junction of the three continents, at the easternmost end of the Golden Sea. Its geographical location is extremely advantageous. Now it is surrounded on three sides by the orc tribe and the small forces of the Dark Parliament. Only the golden waterway of the Golden Sea is left as an external interface. Window, so Liu Yunlan, the scourge of Kuo Tao fishmen, has long had the intention of decisive battle. This time Xi Wei's request coincides with his.

Liu Yunlan naturally recognized Xi Wei's identity as a collaborator. You must know that when the arcane light shone in the golden sea, he also saw that dazzling light on the top of Yunlan Mountain. The power of the Ten-ring Holy Glory spell was even if he was Even a great master cannot do it, unless he can truly transcend the world and reach the realm of immortals recorded in Chinese classics.

Now that a consensus has been reached, the natural next step is for the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves happily.

"It's the end of the year now, let me organize the army and prepare for war, and we will start the expedition next spring!" Liu Yunlan said to Xi Wei.

"That's fine!" Xi Wei nodded. War is by no means a casual trip, and it naturally requires full preparation.

"The festival is a day of reunion. Disciple, you are not suitable to stay on the mountain. I will give you a few pointers to reconcile the power of blood and true energy, and wait until after the festival to come to the mountain to practice!" Liu Yunlan began to tell Natalia of teaching.

After all, Natalia is Xi Wei's fiancée, and Xi Wei already has the status and rank to cooperate with him on an equal footing, so he will never be as harsh as he treats other apprentices, and is more pleasant-looking, and as a woman There are also some troubles, which are rare if possible.

Natalia had not been reunited with her parents for a long time, so naturally she would not refuse. She put aside all distracting thoughts and listened quietly to her master's instructions.

Natalia's previous practice of the "Mountain and Sea" breathing method relied entirely on her own understanding. Naturally, she took many detours and even went astray. Now she has received personal guidance from Liu Yunlan, the creator of the "Mountain and Sea" breathing method. , almost all the doubts were suddenly realized. The master also gave him a way to make up for the wrong path he had taken, and also gave guidance on how to integrate the power of blood and true energy. Therefore, although it was only a short day, Natalia gained more than This year I have been doing a lot of hard work.

When Natalia and Xiwei walked out of Yunlan Sect again, it was already dusk. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Junzburg and his party gained a lot.

Returning to Violet again, the time is already December 20, 1788 in the Holy Calendar, and there are only five days left before the birth of the Holy Son.

Although the Lord of Glory has passed away, and although many people no longer believe in this once great Lord, the Nativity of the Holy Son, as a traditional festival with a history of nearly two thousand years, is still the most important festival in everyone's heart.

At this time, Violet has entered a joyful and festive atmosphere. Although most of the world has fallen into darkness, and although the Holy Norman Empire is still fighting a decisive battle with most of the dark parliament on its own, Violet, which is nestled in the golden sea, seems like a paradise. With the protection of Master Xiwei, they all feel completely safe.

Although it has only been a year since the catastrophic setting sun, for many people, it seems like a century has passed. How many people are so eager for power, to be able to fight against evil, and to protect themselves with extraordinary power.

In the past, Orrent, a formal professional had a very good salary. A mid-level knight was enough to serve as the peace officer of a small town or the knight captain of a big city. A high-level knight who has entered the path of paragon is already the strongest person in many cities and regions. Even if he is born as a commoner, he should be awarded a noble title at this time and stand at the pinnacle of his life.

But the arrival of the dark craze broke this illusory beauty. People desperately discovered that this time the enemy was not the beast or goblin in the forest, not the ogre with only strength but no brain, not the evil dragon fighting alone, but There are organized demons, undead, orcs and all kinds of weird conquerors from other worlds!

The enemy was extremely powerful and frightening. Not to mention the small paragons, even monsters of legendary rank and above emerged in endlessly. Within one year, almost all city-states and principalities of mankind were destroyed, and the only five powerful countries were France and Holy Norman. The empire survives.

In this situation, everyone desires extraordinary power, and magic is undoubtedly the most noble and special kind. Unlike the power of blood, which relies on inheritance, and unlike warriors who need to fight in close quarters, magic is magical and powerful. , one legend after another and even the Holy Glory spell changed the war and the world pattern.

The magicians used to be so noble that mortals could not approach them and could only look up to them. However, as Master Xiwei's magic popularization series spread throughout Orrente, and as the Violet Academy opened its doors to recruit talents in an eclectic way, the Violet Academy The population of the Violet Territory has also experienced explosive growth. As of today, there are more than 20,000 teachers and students in Violet College! The population of the Seven Violet Islands and Sicily under the Violet Territory has also exceeded four million, four times more than a year ago!

Although nearly half of Violet's students are still in the magic apprenticeship stage, the number of magicians has officially exceeded 10,000. There are various levels of basic magic education with clearly defined steps, including "Sylvie's Spell List" An epoch-making teaching and communication tool. The growth rate of the Violet people far exceeds that of their ancestors. It takes only 10 months to go from a magic apprentice to a formal magician!
