Weird Wizarding World

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Colin came to Darren's Trust House.

He wore a white simple mask on his face, with only his eyes and nose exposed. Invisible power enveloped his whole body, preventing others from seeing his true appearance and aura.

The wizard at the commission led him outside the stronghold and got into a black carriage.

The location of this meeting was not at this stronghold, but somewhere else.

This was not for the sake of confidentiality. After all, even though he was sitting in a carriage, Colin could still clearly sense the direction and distance of the carriage.

Just meet somewhere else.

About ten minutes later, the carriage slowly stopped, and Colin stepped down. What he saw was an ordinary mansion...perhaps it was temporarily rented?

The witches from Darren's Commission did not go in together. Under the leadership of the maid, Colin walked through the front yard and finally saw the client of this exclusive mission in the living room.

"Your Majesty the Wood Demon." The client greeted. He was not wearing a mask and looked like a middle-aged man, except that his eyebrows and hair were white.

This kind of white color is somewhat similar to Shelley's, but it is far less smooth and shiny than Shelley's hair, and is much duller.

"Just call me Isidor." The white-browed wizard continued, and then went straight to the topic without any greetings:

"This time I invite you to come and say that it is custom-made witchcraft, but the specific circumstances are a little different."

As he spoke, he took out a confidentiality contract from his body.

"To be more specific, please sign this contract, and I will discuss it with you in detail."

Colin behind the mask couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Don't worry, your Excellency, the content of the contract is just to keep the next conversation confidential, nothing else."

Isido explained. Seeing that Colin was still hesitant, he continued:

"You don't have to think too much, it's not something dangerous, it's just because it involves my personal privacy."

Colin's brows relaxed slightly, and he took the contract from Isidor's hand and looked at it carefully.

If it is to keep personal privacy confidential, it is understandable. Some people are indeed more particular about this aspect.

Of course, if it was just an ordinary entrustment with a reward of 100,000 magic stones, Colin would have gotten up and left long ago, but after all, this time it was 500,000 magic stones, and he was willing to be more patient.

After carefully checking that there was nothing wrong with the contract, Colin nodded slightly and signed the contract.

"Now you can tell me what the content of this mission is."

Isidor nodded and did not say directly, but asked: "I wonder if Mr. Wood Demon has done any research on the ice element?"

"Know a thing or two," Colin replied.

"Your Excellency, you are humble." Isidor smiled, "The elemental life-enhancing witchcraft that Your Excellency Wood Demon handed over last time, the ingenuity in it amazed me!"

Colin smiled, thought for a moment and said, "According to Darren's commission, this commission should still be related to elemental life, and your Excellency mentioned the ice element...?"

"It is indeed related to the ice element, but the specific situation is a bit complicated." Isidor smiled, then stood up slowly: "Please follow me, you will know as soon as I see you."

The two of them walked along the corridor towards the depths of the house.

Not long after, they came to a black iron door and Isido opened the door in front of him.

A passage leading underground was exposed.

Isidor took the lead and walked underground. The bright crystals on the wall lit up one after another, illuminating the gray and white stone stairs going down.

The light was not strong, and it was still a little dim in the basement.

Colin looked at Isido's figure in front of him, cheered up and kept guessing.

"It's related to the ice element..."

However, before Colin could think of anything, he had already walked down the stairs. His steps paused slightly, and there was some surprise in his blue eyes.

In the center of the spacious basement illuminated by bright crystals, a huge blue round icicle about four meters high stood alone, with the top almost touching the ceiling. A white cold air rushed towards the face, and a light layer of white was attached to the gray floor. Frost.

Isidore slowly turned around, and as he waved his hand to disperse the white cold air, the surprise in Colin's eyes turned into disbelief in an instant.

Among the huge icicles was a young humanoid figure!

The face of a little girl about three or four years old, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleeping soundly. She was small in stature, and her skin was translucent like a layer of white frost. Apart from the face, the rest of the face only had a rough human shape with no details.

At this time, she was clearly located among the solid icicles, but she seemed to be in the water. Her small body swayed slightly, and she seemed to be able to freely shuttle through the ice.

"Is this... some kind of special ice element?" Colin paused and said, his eyes still falling on the icicle in front of him.

"Yes, but no." Isido walked to the side of the icicle, rubbed it gently for a moment, and whispered: "I prefer to call her a miracle, a miracle brought to me by witchcraft."

Colin was a little confused. He looked at Isidor, and his jaw dropped in shock at the latter's next words.

"She is alive, a truly independent being."

Isidore stared at the icicle, and the eyelids of the 'miracle' inside moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Isido quickly removed his palm and waved gently.

call--

Suddenly, the witchcraft formation shimmered in the corners around the basement, and a burst of cold air poured into the icicles in front of them, causing the miracle inside to become silent again.

Isidore breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Colin and said:

"I know what you want to ask. Indeed, wizards lost the ability to summon real life thousands of years ago. Now the witchcraft of summoning elements should actually be called puppetry.

We are creating elements, not summoning them from somewhere. "

"But 'Miracle' is indeed a truly independent life. She was born from an ordinary experiment of summoning the ice element. I was learning the witchcraft of summoning the ice element at the time, and the material I used was the indigo cold crystal that I had finally obtained. Witchcraft is just the most common Riker summoning the ice element... Well, in short, it was an accident, and I couldn't reproduce it no matter how many times I reproduced it...

But no matter what, I am 100% sure that the 'miracle' is an independent life! She showed amazing learning ability and self-awareness when I created her. Yes, she has self-awareness! True self-awareness, not a pre-set elemental core! "

Isido's tone was a little fanatical, and his white hair continued to float as his head shook.

"You mean, she has a soul?" Colin was stunned and asked dubiously.

This is really astonishing. The creation of life has always been more gimmick than substance.

Wizards have long discovered that although they can create beings that can move freely and even have thoughts, they cannot truly create souls.

If you want to create a life with true self-awareness, then the raw materials must include souls, just like those silent shadows. Strictly speaking, they are independent lives with souls.

"I don't know." Isidor calmed down after hearing his question. After a while, he shook his head and said honestly: "I can't detect her soul. It's like a mist. I can't be sure whether it is there or not. .”

"So, it's just your speculation that she has a soul?" Colin felt slightly relieved.

Compared to creating a real life, it is easier to accept the accidental creation of a relatively special ice element.

Isidor looked at Colin and opened his mouth, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but in the end he did not refute.

Colin was not the first wizard he had found, nor was he the first wizard to question whether Miracle had a soul... and he did not want to spend more energy to refute it.

Isido looked at the icicles around him. No matter what, he always believed that the miracle must be a real life and must have a soul!

There was silence in the basement for a moment.

"As you can see, Your Excellency Wood Demon." Isido continued,

"Although Miracle is an independent life, it cannot maintain its own existence. I have been looking for ways before, but I have never been able to prevent her from dissipating. I can only slow down her disappearance through the witch formation and some rare frost treasures. speed."

"But this is just a temporary measure after all." Isidor turned around, "In fact, if it weren't for the miracle of using the elemental life-enhancing witchcraft delivered by Your Excellency, she would have dissipated."

"It was also because of the effectiveness of elemental life-enhancing witchcraft that I came up with the idea of ​​whether the dissipation of miracles could be completely solved through witchcraft."

"So, Lord Wood Demon, the request of the commission is to solve the problem of the dissipation of miracles... no matter what method is used."

A little less. Sorry, I’m taking half a day off. I’ll update early tomorrow!
