Arcane Lord

After getting along for a while, Xia Duo has completely believed Mu Yan's kindness to him, but the more Mu Yan pays, the more Xia Duo feels embarrassed because his integrity has not been lost.

And now Mu Yan has prepared a lot of things, saying that he wants to give the last gift. Xia Duoming knows that this gift may not be light, but he doesn't want to accept it for some reason.

However, Xia Duo also knew his current situation, "alone as a stranger in a foreign land", and he should not give up anything useful, so he could not say a firm refusal.

Mu Yan seemed to notice Xia Duo's embarrassment and smiled, "If you feel uneasy, if you meet Karatu people living in other places in the future, please help as much as possible. Now come and help me." I need to move out the altar inside and process these materials for the final time. The ceremony will take a long time, so hurry up!"

"oh."

Xia Duo responded and went to another compartment of the tent. The altar was very conspicuous. It was a miniature three-story circular altar similar to the Temple of Heaven, with a diameter of about 1 meter and a height of half a meter.

It was engraved with densely packed unfamiliar hieroglyphics and patterns of ancestors' sacrificial scenes. Xia Duo stepped forward and hugged it. It was not heavy, either it was not solid, or it had been blessed with some weight-reducing magic.

Xia Duo carried the altar outside, found a flat ground to put it down, and then watched Mu Yan process the materials. Xia Duo didn't know what kind of ceremony Mu Yan was preparing, but it shouldn't be anything if it could be used as the last gift. High street goods.

"The Ancestral Blessing Ceremony is a blessing ritual that I learned when my spellcasting level reached level 15. It can increase a little bit of good luck." While processing the materials, Mu Yan was also introducing this ritual to Xia Duo.

"Good luck?" Xia Duo was very surprised, "Is there really such a thing as fate?"

"It depends on how you understand it. I believe in fate, but most mages don't believe in this. They think that as long as all choices are made from their own hearts, they have grasped their own destiny."

Speaking of this, Mu Yan seemed to have thought of something funny, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

"So does this blessing ceremony increase good luck?" Xia Duo asked again.

"As for this question, I can only say that I don't know. Compared to this question, I think you should be more concerned about whether it is effective."

"Then is it effective? Mr. Muyan."

"Of course - I still don't know! Haha!" Mu Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it interesting that a single material consumes more than 1,000 gold coins of magic but has no effect at all!"

1,000 gold coins! Xia Duo subconsciously touched his belt. There was a handful of silver coins mixed there. There were originally 5 gold coins, but unfortunately he paid the Eagle Chamber of Commerce mage two days ago for the [Light Technique].

How much is 1000 gold coins? !

For a moment, Xia Duo wanted to say - just give me the gold coins! But Xia Duo, who still had integrity, couldn't say such a thing.

He could only stare at the movements in Mu Yan's hands. After a while, these valuable materials would be consumed, and they were completely consumed as if they were wasted.

…

While handling the materials, Mu Yan also placed them on the ancestor altar. At the same time, he told Xia Duo about his past wanderings and adventures, which opened Xia Duo's eyes.

Finally, all the materials were completely processed and placed. Mu Yan stood up and took out the elf harp from behind, handed a palm-sized white crystal to Xia Duo, and said: "Stand on the altar, hold it with both hands." This white crystal.”

Is this the beginning? Xia Duo was a little nervous. He took the white crystal and walked up to the altar. With the half-meter-high altar and Xia Duo's height, Xia Duo felt that his hair had already touched the top of the tent.

Holding the white crystal with both hands, Xia Duo looked at Mu Yan.

Mu Yan looked solemn and placed his left hand on the strings. After a brief prelude, the sound of music began to become blurry in Xia Duo's ears, and his field of vision was no longer the scene in the tent, but filled with A flash of red and yellow light.

A distant voice came over——

“The order of upholding Heaven is in Mu’s hands;

“Respect and respect, Heaven shows its thoughts;

"...

"Siz's blessings are boundless."

…

I don't know how much time has passed, but the lights and shadows of the ancient ancestors' survival, hunting, and sacrifices gradually disappeared in front of Xia Duo's eyes.

After coming back to his senses, Xia Duo felt something strange in his hands. He looked down and saw that the originally bright and transparent white crystal had now turned into a pile of dim powder, and the materials on the altar had also turned into piles of gray and black. of ashes.

Is this the end? With this idea in his mind, Xia Duo walked off the altar and looked around. Mu Yan was not in the tent. Xia Duo was about to open the door curtain between the tent compartments, but he didn't expect the door curtain to suddenly flip up.

It was as if an invisible hand lifted it up.

"this--"

Xia Duo quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts. In a focused state, Xia Duo found that his connection with the Magic Network was even closer. It seemed that with just a thought, he could entangle, join, bend, coil, and overlap the Magic Network at will to produce corresponding magical effects.

Compared to last night's ignorance about the phenomenon of glowing hair, Xia Duo now has a deeper understanding of magic. It is indeed a [magic trick]. It's just because Xia Duo's knowledge of magic is too limited that he can only do it. To make hair shine.

Now he can easily lift the door curtain! As soon as the thought came out, the door curtain fell, but the moment it fell, the door curtain emitted a hazy white light that was visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

It seems that Mu Yan's statement that the blessing ceremony has no effect is not accurate. Maybe it has no effect on someone as powerful as Mu Yan, but for Xia Duo, a novice who has just come into contact with magic, the effect is quite obvious!

He wanted to try other effects of [Magic Trick], but Xia Duo still remembered Mu Yan's warning to be cautious when dealing with magic. Excessive casting of spells will affect the soul.

Xia Duo can't feel his soul yet, but he still knows how to take precautions before they happen.

…

There was no Mu Yan in the compartment on the other side of the tent. He might have gone out. Xia Duo opened the door curtain leading to the outside with his hand, and happened to see Mu Yan handing a heavy cloth belt to a young man.

To be more precise - handed to a young man wearing mage robes.

Sha Duo seems to have thought of something. The blessing ceremony just now consumed at least 1,000 gold coins. It can also improve Sha Duo's spellcasting ability. It should be a relatively advanced magic, so Lord Savile who owns the Mage Tower will not notice this. Any movement?

However, Shado did not think that the young mage was Lord Savile himself, but rather his apprentice.

"Xia Duo, come here." Mu Yan waved to Xia Duo and introduced him, "This is Master Leonard. I have already told him about your joining the Mage Tower. You can talk to him later." Let’s go together.”

Xia Duo was speechless, "Thank you, Mr. Muyan."

"There is no need to thank me. The future path is up to you." Mu Yan patted Sha Duo on the shoulder and said to Master Leonard, "Master Leonard, Sha Duo will be left to you."
