Master Tongtian

Chapter 286 Guessed Half Right (24)

The lord's study was very calm, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression, just like the rainy weather during the plum rain season on Earth, making people a little breathless.

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and a thought flashed across his mind: "What a good guy, he's not a high-level mage, but an archmage!"

He immediately raised his concentration and was fully prepared to cast the spell.

If the opponent explodes, he can burst out two master level 2 powers in an instant, and he may not be able to kill this lying half-elf.

After a silent confrontation for more than ten seconds, Anweniya sighed softly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for lying, but I really can't think of any other way to be your apprentice."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and took off an ordinary-looking necklace she was wearing around her neck.

After taking off the necklace, a faint soft light suddenly flashed across her body. After a moment, the ordinary half-elf completely changed her appearance.

The eyes are no longer green, but silvery white. There are no longer freckles on the face, but have turned into cold white skin with a faint luster. The facial features are no longer ordinary, but have become very delicate and cold, and the hair has also become Silvery white, very dense, like flowing moonlight.

Those silver-white eyes with a faint shimmer stared at Rosen. They were noble, mysterious, elegant, and cold. They were simply a human reproduction of the "Moon Girl" painting.

Rosen was shocked in his heart: "Silver hair and silver eyes, a high-level moon elf archmage!"

If a fight breaks out, he feels like he may not be his opponent.

Anweniya sighed softly: "To be precise, he is a wanderer expelled by his family."

"My former full name was Anviniya Rodniya Talademes Morningstar, a level 7 nature mage."

"Because he strongly advocated changing the immutable ancient traditions, he was expelled from his family and even deprived of his family name."

"So, my name is Anweniya now."

As she spoke, she put the necklace back on her body: "It's called an ordinary necklace. It has an extraordinary illusion attached to it. It was a gift left to me by my mother."

"Baron, I did lie to you, but I don't have any bad intentions towards the Crescent Territory or you."

"I just want to learn the most advanced magic knowledge in the world, and then return to my hometown to tell those stubborn family elders with facts that times have changed!"

Not sensing any hostility from the other party, Rosen lowered his guard slightly and sat back on the thick leather chair.

"I have read a book called "World Human Geography". It says that the Morning Star family is one of the three major families of the moon elves. The king of the moon elves will be selected from the three major families in turn."

"From this perspective, you should be considered a moon elf princess, right?"

He had previously guessed that the Princess of the East came to him in disguise, but now it seemed that he was half right.

Anweniya, who returned to her normal appearance, shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"What the book says is indeed true. It was like this ten thousand years ago, it was like this five thousand years ago, it was like this a thousand years ago, and even now, nothing has changed."

"In my hometown, time seems to have completely stood still. The new generation of young people are repeating the lives of their ancestors over and over again, as if it will last forever."

"But this is wrong. The world is changing. If the Moon Elves remain unchanged, sooner or later they will face the catastrophe of annihilation."

Rosen agreed very much with this and was also very curious about the moon elves.

"So, how old are you?"

"128."

"Tsk tsk~ You can be my grandma, and you're also a level 7 mage. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be your magic instructor."

He is twelve years older than him, has overwhelming magic power, and has an even nobler status. He cannot afford to use such a great god.

Feeling that Rosen seemed to be expelling him verbally, Anweniya looked pleading.

"No, no, no, that's not how it works. We moon elves are immortals and can live at least five hundred years. Our bodies will not stop growing completely until we are 120 years old."

“Strictly speaking, I have just come of age, and all I have learned are natural spells.

"The absolute magic power may be quite powerful, but it is full of loopholes. You can easily defeat me."

"Yeah?"

Before he finished speaking, a gravity ball exploded under Anweniya's feet, lifting her one meter into the air.

During the entire process, Anweniya showed no reaction, not even a fluctuation in mana, showing a slowness unique to a natural mage.

“How much are you really capable of enforcing the law?”

"Just 8 stars."

Anweniya used a mage's hand to pull herself back to the ground, and then kept pulling herself, because if she didn't pull herself, she would have to float back.

Rosen discovered this detail: "You don't understand gravity magic?"

"I know some concepts, but my math ability is very poor. Although I study hard, I feel that I am not good at math."

Seeing Rosen's confusion, she explained carefully.

"Our moon elves' natural spells don't pay much attention to the training of spellcasting ability, but focus on harmonious coexistence with nature to better maintain the stability of the living environment."

"The level of mathematics is even lower. It's probably a little better than the tribal arithmetic that ties knots to remember things."

"Of course the elders also know that various mathematical tools have been developed in the Golden Land, but they think it is just a boring thinking game."

"They don't bother to learn at all, and they strictly prohibit their children from learning, thinking that it will teach children bad things, make their minds complicated and weird, and make it difficult for them to integrate with nature."

Rosen canceled the gravitational levitation effect, and at the same time felt that what Anweniya said was both absurd and true, because such a thing had happened on Earth, more than once.

"Then you should know a lot of natural magic, right?"

"Yes, I know the three master spells of Moon Fire, Activated Giant Tree, and Dragon Scale Armor, and I have mastered 72 various types of mid- to high-level natural spells."

"There are so many." Rosen sighed sincerely.

"It's true that there are quite a lot, but the casting time of a master's spell is at least 15 breaths. The high-level ones need 8 breaths, and the low-level ones also need 1 breath. There is basically no room for trickery."

"Facing a powerful enemy, we can only rely on soldiers for protection."

Rosen's envy that just arose immediately subsided.

Fifteen breaths, that is, fifteen breaths, must be more than twenty seconds. On the battlefield, this is enough for ten reincarnations.

After thinking about it, he didn't quite believe it: "Can you show me a dragon scale armor?"

Anweniya looked embarrassed.

"According to the classification of the Golden Land, Dragon Scale Armor is a master's level 6 spell. With my current mana, without the assistance of magic weapons, I will be exhausted after releasing it once."

After all, he was in a foreign land, and the lord's lustful reputation spread throughout the Golden Land. He had the power to protect himself.

After she ran out of magic, she worried that something would happen to her.

Once she becomes a slave to a human lord, the rest of her life will be completely ruined.

Seeing her hesitation, Rosen roughly guessed her thoughts and said with a smile: "Moon Elf, if you really want to learn new knowledge from me, you must pay the price."

"If you really want to rely on this new knowledge to awaken the people and save the future of the people, then you should be mentally prepared to give everything, instead of hesitating or shrinking."

“If you want to achieve extraordinary things, you must make extraordinary efforts. This is the basic law of how the world works.”

Anweniya was slightly shocked by what he said and couldn't help but ask.

"Then have you done anything extraordinary?"

"When I was a civilian spell apprentice and my magic power was still at a low level. In order to obtain the official mage qualification, I fought head-on with the temple exorcist warriors against the evil gods of the ancient tribes, and finally defeated the latter."

"Do you think this is extraordinary?"

Anweniya shook her head in disbelief: "How can a mortal defeat a god?"

Rosen smiled lightly: "The fact that I can sit in this position and that I can calmly face you, the archmage, with an intermediate level of magic power is proof."

"The Archmage is very strong, but compared to gods, he is still several levels behind."

Anweniya immediately believed most of it, because the other party's performance was indeed very calm, far more than an ordinary mid-level mage, and being promoted from a commoner to a baron at a young age was indeed an unprecedented feat.

So, she whispered: "Okay, I'll cast the spell."

She took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly, raised her hands and clasped them in front of her chest, magic power surged in her body, and her silver-white eyes shone brightly.

Whispers kept coming from her mouth.

"O silver dragon who has made an alliance with the Morning Star family~ Please give me the power of the dragon!"

This is the first mantra, and there are more after it.

"Dragon scales cover my body, giving me perfect indestructible armor~"

"Dragon power infuses my body, giving me endless majestic power~"

"The dragon's claws found my hands and gave me indestructible sharp weapons~"

Following her spell, the surface of its body was quickly covered with dazzling silver dragon scales, dragon horns protruded from its head, sharp claws sprouted from its hands, and its eyes revealed a terrifying silver flame.

About 26 seconds later, a humanoid silver dragon appeared in the study.

Anweniya's voice came from behind the dragon armor, with a hint of metallic tremolo.

"This is the dragon scale armor, and now I have become a silver dragon warrior, with the combat power of a master at level 6."

"Of course, because I don't know martial arts, I can't exert the maximum power of this spell. Normally, this spell is given to dragon warriors who have been trained for many years."

Rosen understood and wanted to test his own spell, so he said: "Relax, I'll cast a levitation spell on you."

"good."

After confirming that Anweniya was ready, Rosen threw a gravitational levitation at her feet.

‘Buzz~’

The gravity easily penetrated the dragon scale armor and floated Anweniya to a height of one meter.

Rosen asked: "If I float the Dragon Warrior at a height of 10 meters in the wild, will he be able to break free on his own strength?"

Anweniya released the mage's hand again to pull herself back to the ground, and shook her head awkwardly: "No, you have to wait for the spell effect to disappear."

Rosen said: "If I pour all my power into it, I can levitate a person 100 meters high for 12 days."

Anweniya was even more embarrassed: "This is the change I want."

Otherwise, if the Dragon Warrior, as the top warrior of the Moon Elf, met a gravity mage, he would float in the sky for 12 days, and he would either fall to death or starve to death. This would be a really absurd story.

As she spoke, she took the initiative to cancel the dragon scale armor. Due to the large consumption of mana, her eyes became very dim and her face became a little pale.

"Lord, what do you say now? Will you still teach me?"

Rosen thought for a moment and said, "Let's exchange magic knowledge."

"You teach me the moon elf's spells, and I teach you flow and gravity. Of course, in order to conceal your identity, you will still be told that you are my apprentice."

Natural spells do have many flaws, but the level of spells is there. High-level spells, especially master-level spells, must contain spell knowledge that Rosen does not know.

If he has a way to logicalize it, or even develop new spells based on it, then he has achieved a master level logic spell.

The spread of gravity magic cannot be stopped. If he doesn't teach it, elves can get it from other ways.

In this case, it's better to exchange it for some benefits.

Anweniya believed that natural magic would be eliminated, so she nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, let's exchange."

Rosen said: "Then, from today on, your external identity will be my third personal apprentice."

"But you also know the current situation in my territory. I really need reliable help, so I hope you can do something for me."

At the moment, I don't know what kind of work I should arrange for him to do, but it would be a pity to use such a powerful, young and powerful mage.

Being still accepted as an apprentice by Rosen, she didn't really lose anything, and Anweniya was also very happy.

She curtsied to Rosen: "Mentor, please feel free to give me orders."

Rosen pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down first."

By the time Anweniya sat down, he had already written a new spell book.

"This is the sun meditation method that I have carefully improved. You must learn it seriously."

"It may not be able to help you increase your upper limit of strength, but it can greatly increase your mana recovery speed, which may even be ten times higher than what you have now!"

Compared with the sun, Polaris is far away and dim, and is not a source of power on the same level at all.

Anweniya reached out and took the spell book handed over by Rosen. After quickly flipping through a few pages, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Is the sun so great?"

"This is the sun derived from star observation combined with logical deduction. It may not be the true face of the sun, but it must be the most profound piece of knowledge about the sun in the world today."

Anweniya nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll meditate instead."

After saying that, she asked for paper and pen, and also wrote a spell book for the 'Dragon Scale Armor' for Rosen.

After completing the first spell exchange, both parties need time to digest.

Rosen then returned to the topic.

"Tell me, why did you come back to me?"

"Oh, that's it. Master Lydia asked me to tell you that after catching a thief stealing the petrified staff, I asked you how to deal with it?"

Rosen became interested: "Have you been interrogated?"

"After investigation, it was said that it was sent by someone from Broken Leaf City's Precision Balance. To be precise, it was a man named Sir Mason."

"Oh~ What's the background of the thief?"

"No, just an ordinary mercenary."

"Oh, then follow the law. Let the mercenary pay a fine. If he fails to pay, he will cut off his right hand, then his weapons will be confiscated and he will be deported."

"Yes, mentor."

Anweniya got up and was about to leave. Because she got up too quickly, she staggered and almost fell. This was the sequelae of excessive mana consumption.

Rosen said: "Forget it, I will let the attendant pass the news on my behalf. You can go home and rest directly."

Anweniya had been holding on, and she felt a little grateful when she heard this.

"Thank you, mentor, for your thoughtfulness."
