Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

Inside the floating castle.

"I thought of a new rune combination again."

Syndra's face revealed a beautiful smile.

Her pure white palm was raised and swept in the air, and runes appeared in front of her and Ryan.

"A combination of water and wind? Water runes tend to be frozen, and wind runes are mostly static and flowing." Ryan could see the meaning of these runes at a glance.

They didn't collect many water runes, but Syndra was still keen on combining water-related runes.

He thought for a while and suggested:

"Let's put it in the No. 2 laboratory for testing, where it was just reinforced with Earth-based third-order rune magic. I'll put some magic materials in it later to test whether it can create a low-temperature, wind-free and dust-free storage environment."

"it is good!"

Syndra smiled as it should, and scattered the rune combination for display.

This floating castle is the current rune magic test site for the two of them. In order to sort out a complete system, at least thousands of rune combinations have been tested in the castle.

Nearly a thousand runes were left and inscribed throughout the castle.

The whole castle is made of a special stone called cloud ink stone, which has excellent magic transmission properties and can even store a small amount of magic power.

The entire castle is filled with the magic power of the two of them, maintaining the castle floating and hundreds of constant rune formations.

Some rune combinations are used for a single release, while some rune combinations can be continuously used by inputting magic power.

These rune combinations are mostly made into constant rune formations, which are engraved on buildings or objects.

The magic practice field, Seraphine's demonstration teaching has also come to an end.

Finally, she smiled and controlled the stage to rise:

"Before the end, I will send you a beautiful song to the students."

The voice fell, and a melodious and soulful singing voice came from her.

The students below, listening to the wonderful singing, everyone seemed to have entered an illusion.

In the illusion, each of them experienced the process of creating runes with magic. Different geniuses have different runes.

Like Annie, hers is the basic "fire". Rael, on the other hand, is "resilience".

Listening to the song, they seem to have deeply imprinted the memory of this fantasy in their minds. Although they have not tried it themselves, they feel very familiar.

Unfortunately, the process was interrupted halfway through.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was the task Seraphine taught them, using their own efforts to create the first rune.

After the singing ended, all the students were released from the illusion.

After being in a trance for a while, their faces became solemn, and they thanked Seraphine in their respective cultural ways.

Seeing this, Seraphine smiled and waved her hand, controlled the stage, and flew out of the practice field leisurely...

"Very successful presentation."

Ryan nodded with a smile, and waved away the water mirror in front of him.

"She made the runes too crudely, and the two display runes were made with our help." Syndra frowned slightly.

When she was learning runes at the time, she could outline the production with just a glance.

Although there is no precise magic control, as long as an order is given to the dark magic elements in the body, the runes will automatically condense in the body.

Ryan remembered the domineering production method of Syndra at that time, and shook his head in a funny way:

"She's still young and not in the same situation as you."

Compared with his slow groping at the time, Seraphine's progress can be considered extremely fast.

As for Syndra, that's an over-spec existence.

Since she was able to finely control the magic power, the outline of any rune only needs to be seen at a glance.

"The improvement needs to continue, and many of our magic models can be more streamlined." Ryan continued.

Rune magic is an improvement over the original magic.

At first, they used runes to release magic, and they had to understand the meaning of each rune, and even the various magic transmission nodes of each rune had to be very clear.

Only in this way can we guarantee that the spellcasting will not fail.

But after their improvement, the release of rune magic only needs to be done step by step, and many magics already have inherent templates.

New scholars don't need to know everything about each rune as they used to, just learn how to cast spells.

Not everyone is suited to the path of greatness, and the path they both create will lay the foundation for those who come later.

But for now, there is only the original rune magic model, which is not the best model.

"Those children may live up to your hopes that the magic of the future will flourish as you have described it. Under our leadership."

Syndra said softly, and stood up from the tea seat.

She floated to Kyle's side, took off the Forbidden Magic Stone placed on Kyle's chest, and put the same one on top.

The Forbidden Stone comes from the Forbidden Forest next to Demacia, from a magical Forbidden Tree.

Its role is not to isolate magic as its name suggests, but to devour magic.

When the Forbidden Stone is filled with more than half of the magic, it will emit light corresponding to the magic element.

If left unchecked, the filled Forbidden Stone will release itself, quickly removing the magic element in a gentle way.

The existence of the Forbidden Stone is the key for Demacia to deal with mages and abolish magic.

Only if the magic input exceeds the upper limit of the forbidden stone, it can be crushed into pieces in an instant. There are very few people in the entire Rune Continent who can achieve this level.

"The Forbidden Stone can absorb the magic of the Protoss of Justice. Its appearance is similar to that of light magic. One piece can absorb..."

While Syndra was describing the research findings, Ryan came to the desk and recorded the results of the experiment.

At the beginning, Syndra was not used to this research method, and used to be a recorder before. But after getting along for a long time, she prefers to be a discoverer.

And because most of the experiments used her dark orb as a medium, she was able to spot a lot of small details. Just like...

"Extracting the power of the Protoss can really suppress the soul of the Protoss, and the energy after extraction will be replenished quickly, and the recovery speed is even faster than the absorption speed."

She raised her hand and placed it above Kyle's body, and a dark orb emerged from his body, and she could easily feel a lot of magic power being transmitted back.

"It's a pity, if she doesn't have other uses, it is very suitable to be the energy supply core of the floating castle." Ryan regretted.

"It's fine to stay, the big deal is to catch Morgana too." Syndra looked indifferent.

The thousands of years of energy contained in the willow will wither after being extracted only once.

Unlike the Protoss, their power is endless.

Under the continuous extraction, she could even feel the rapid growth of the magic in her body after a long absence.

"It's not necessary. The amount of magic power is not our pursuit. Now it is more important to build a mature rune magic system." Ryan smiled.

He knew that Syndra just followed his words and said that if she really cared about magic, she would not give that rune to herself.
