Chapter 231 Above the Sky
After nightfall, the three of them sat around the open space in front of the igloo. Ethan raised a campfire, the warm fire dispelled the darkness, the simple temporary barbecue grill was skewed with grilled fish, and the cold winter collected wild vegetation from the nearby ground and ground into seasonings, sprinkled on the grilled fish and exuded an attractive aroma.
This was originally an extremely warm scene, but McCa Delin was very unhappy.
He kept his face hanging, his face comparable to those Asian soldiers who had a premonition of defeat in the war.
Not long ago, Ethan put the excess spoils back to the pond. He never expected that his beginner-level fishing skills were so powerful, which made him wonder what could be caught by the maximum fishing.
It may be a more rare fish, even creatures such as Boyi and Gyarado that go beyond the range of fish.
Lin Dong answered the principle to him.
The secret to fishing is the bait. Her seemingly intimate actions just now are actually part of teaching. She dyed Ethan the smell of snow cherries, and most fish like this fruit.
His success was not caused by luck, but was a result of scientific evidence.
Ethan could only sigh that Winter might be a natural cat, and even inherited the talented skill of catching fish. She seemed to like eating fish very much. She hummed a little song in a good mood and turned the skewers of grilled fish from time to time.
The gloomy face of McCar Delin seemed to be people from different worlds.
The wind is cold by the lake, and this legendary elemental shaping master with thick eyebrows and big eyes is full of sadness.
This made Ethan feel a little magical.
Because according to Kane's theory, what appeared before them was not the real McCa Delin, but the illusion generated by the memory of Caesaros, the father of war, and was not considered a real human.
If the festival is regarded as a large-scale holographic live game, then McCar Delin is a BOT at this moment.
A BOT that seems to have independent thinking and consciousness not only inherits the fishing hobby, but also has a face hanging because of the Air Force.
"Mr. McCar, do you have any worries?"
Ethan asked knowingly.
He had long noticed that when he caught the seventh big fish, McCar Delin became abnormal.
"No, nothing."
McCa shook her head and tried her best to maintain her dignity. He could not feel warm from the campfire at all. He felt the grilled fish on it. As a master of fishing, he was confidently out of the rod, but was taught a lesson by a novice who had just come into contact with fishing.
This lesson is called "Adhere to arrogance and impatience", which means he still has to practice.
He took the initiative to change the topic, "Are you elemental shaping masters?"
Whether it is the igloo or the campfire in the open space, they are the products of elemental magic. McCa has been observing the two in secret. Their relationship looks like a couple in love. At first, he wanted to find some objective and irresistible reasons for failure, such as the lake's feng shui is not good, it restrains him, or there is a problem with his fishing rod, which is not the one he uses most often.
However, soon he made an unexpected discovery.
He met Ethan and Winter using elemental magic.
The process of chanting mantras is eliminated and the result they want is achieved directly.
McCa also proposed corresponding theories in his early years. At that time, he was addicted to magic duels, believing that if he could release magic without chanting, he could leapfrog improvement of the overall level of the elemental shaping master.
However, his research failed. This theory seemed simple but could not be realized at all.
Immediately afterwards, McCa noticed the difference between Ethan.
Such a master who is proficient in the magic of the wind element looks young and has reached its peak, with a breeze always surrounding Ethan.
"I'm traveling with my wife, hoping to learn more about elemental magic."
Ethan's answer was half true and half false, with a trace of regret on his face just right, "It's a pity that most of the cities I have passed by have been occupied by believers of the old gods, or have been destroyed in war."
Hearing this, Ling Dong smiled and turned the grilled fish more briskly.
"Yes, this damn war."
McCa responded with a touching sentence.
He was a scholar and never thought that he would one day become a commander and dominate the direction of war. His hobbies were originally very simple. He fished in his spare time in studying elemental magic, and talked to his students about life and philosophy, as well as the changes brought to the world by the old gods and faith.
And now, most of his students died in the war, and almost all their personal interests were thrown away by them.
He had been a little tired of it.
Fortunately, not long ago, they finally received some good news.
Kadra's plan progressed very smoothly. They completed the sealing ceremony and established a barrier in this world that effectively isolated the old god from the outside. After cutting off the blessing of faith, the strength of the old god's fans was greatly reduced, and good news came from the frontal battlefields everywhere.
This is the first time that McCa really feels that the war is about to end.
This is no longer a kind lie used to comfort students.
"Do you want to come to our camp to have a look?"
After thinking for a moment, McCa offered an invitation to the two.
The identity of human beings is a powerful elemental shaping master. With the interest in fishing, McCa couldn't think of any reason not to invite the two. He suddenly felt that maybe everything that happened today was the arrangement of fate. These two elemental shaping masters who met by chance would end the troubled times.
More importantly, he has to find a way to get back the scene in the future.
McCa knew that her image in Ethan's eyes now became a rookie with very chic movements and luxurious fishing equipment.
There are many stationery for poor students.
In the past, this sentence was always popular in the elemental shaping teacher society.
"I can't find it."
Ethan did not regard McCa in front of him as an NPC. Although it was an illusion, it was enough to show that the other party left a profound impression on an old god with a human body. He is still obsessed with what he did today.
He faces one of the greatest elemental shaping masters in human history.
The war between the Old Gods was ended and the academy was established. From the perspective of identity, McArthur Delin can be regarded as the ancestor of all elemental shaping magic.
His name was written into the history of the college and people erected a statue for him.
This is the highest achievement that human beings can achieve. To this day, elemental shaping teachers still remember his name, not only because of those great and glorious experiences, but more importantly, there are a quarter of the spells in the college textbooks, written by McCa.
The three of them were interrupted by the sound of messy footsteps, and a group of people wearing the same mage robes appeared from the shadows.
"Macca, you actually sneaked here!"
The leader was an elder who looked much older than McCa. He had white hair and a beard and stared at him, "At this point, you still have the time to fish!"
McCa's face froze and she introduced to the two in a low voice, "He is my teacher*#*, a respected elemental energy shaping teacher."
When the teacher's name was mentioned, his introduction suddenly became an incomprehensible whisper.
Ethan guessed that this was probably because these "NPCs" failed to leave an impression on Caesaros at the beginning and were not worthy of being remembered by an old god.
This world is an illusion woven by Caesaros, who cannot produce things that he does not know.
What's more, Caesaros's thinking has long disappeared. What remains here is an empty shell for maintaining the existence of the illusion world and providing energy to believers.
"Did you forget what day it was?"
Seeing the grilled fish on the kebab, the elder was even more angry, "Fishing, you just think about these small moves all day long. What if you catch so many fish?"
McCa originally wanted to argue, but the teacher's words were like a sharp knife stabbed into his chest.
Ethan looked at McA who was wearing a mask of pain again and sighed that the teacher is worthy of being a teacher and that a simple word can cause real harm to the students.
"You misunderstood, this old man."
What Ethan did not expect was that Lin Dong, who had always disliked intervening in irrelevant conversations, took the initiative to stand up and speak justice.
Could it be...
Just like the Knight of the Round Table Palanci to the other side, as the founder of the academy, McCa is actually an old predecessor that Winter has always respected?
Looking back at Ximu Town, Lin Dong vaguely mentioned McCa Delin. She believed that only the great people who established the colleges in the first generation could have higher attainments in the field of elemental shaping.
Of course, the focus of her speech at that time was not to emphasize the strength of the "ancient wizard", but to clarify her identity as "the strongest in modern times", so that Ethan could learn with her, a good teacher with confidence.
Ethan felt that this kind of mentality was actually human nature, just like when he was playing games, he respected those top players in the professional field very much.
But I didn't expect that there were cold cats...
"These are all caught by my husband, McCa Delin--"
This sentence was loud and shocked everyone in an instant. It not only interrupted Ethan's thoughts, but also caused the aggressive elder to fall into silence.
Everyone saw McCaqing's face turned pale.
Ethan couldn't help but sympathize with McCa and felt ashamed of his misunderstanding of Winter.
She is a natural witch. She was the "attack" just now. While breaking down McCa, she seemed to be ready to kill her.
This cruel scene awakened the elder's compassion.
McA Delin is his student, the child he watched grow up.
Although he was dissatisfied with many of his reckless behaviors, it did not prevent him from always paying attention to the student's growth and being proud of his achievements now.
Of course he knew that in order to deal with the war, his students hadn't touched his favorite fishing rod for a long time.
The elder really couldn't think of why a young girl like Lin Dong said such cruel words.
From the ruthless words, we can see that she must be proficient in ice elemental magic.
"Go back."
After a long time, the elder said gentlely to Maca, who was already messy in the wind, "You must know that there are almost 10 things that are not satisfactory in life, and the same is true for fishing."
What is worse than planning to be sage in front of beginners but in turn being repeatedly humiliated by beginners?
That was when more than a dozen people found out about his Air Force.
There are still people in the team who cannot get along with him. It won’t take long before this matter will be widely circulated among elemental shaping masters.
McCa thought this was one of the darkest days in his life. According to convention, his fortune would bottom out, but he never expected that he would still have the potential to continue to fall below the bottom.
At the same time, he trance doubted that Winter was not a good person, and might even be a believer of the Old God.
Only believers of the Old God can do such cruel things.
Everyone returned to the camp of the Elemental Solid Masters in a complicated mood. The camp was located deep in the jungle, and a magic barrier for disguise was set up on the periphery. The Elemental Solid Masters team was patrolling each other. Ethan learned from others that they had no fixed place now and could not leave any fixed targets for the believers of the Old Gods. They could only change their strongholds and stationed in secret places. These are all lessons from blood and tears.
The believers of the hunting goddess Cynthia took on the migration of the camp, and the five huge monsters were all provided by the hunters.
However, in this era, the leaders of those Taoist paths have not yet become recognized gods. At least the elemental shaping masters only regard them as leaders of the Allied Army, and their status is comparable to that of McArthleen.
However, the solemn atmosphere did not last long.
Ethan saw a familiar figure walking out of the crowd.
With a tall figure, silver-white knight armor, and a silver-white sword of glory lingering all over his body, the resolute knight walked quickly towards McCa, and before he could speak, he gave McCa a hug with a full sense of power.
"McCa, I know everything about your Air Force. Don't be too sad, it will get better."
From that familiar energy, Ethan judged the identity of the knight.
Knight Lord.
One of the most important gods in the future empire.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
When the other side broke the oath, he had a small friction with the Knight Lord as the attending physician.
It is obvious that the Knight Lord is not good at comforting people, and his encouragement played a counterproductive role, sprinkling another handful of chili powder on McCa's bloody wound.
Moreover, he is a practical person and does not intend to leave McCa a sentimental opportunity, saying, "I brought news from Kadra."
This is probably the important thing mentioned by the elders.
The meeting of the two Allied leaders also brought news about another leader. If it were placed in history books, it would also become an extremely important historical event.
However, as Ethan and Winter, they naturally could not be allowed to attend such an important meeting. The Knight Lord supported the sad McArth into the commander's tent, and they were arranged to a temporary residence where the elemental shaping masters built a tree house, which was the first time Ethan lived in a tree in his life.
Through the window, you can see everything in the camp.
But he couldn't find the magic net entrance in the camp.
In fact, he had no complete concept of magic net at all, but only learned some relevant information from the Mage Tower. As for how it enters and uses it, it became a taboo because of the "demon addiction" at the end of the First Age, and all the documents were destroyed.
During that period, McArthur Delin had passed away for a long time, and the college changed many deans.
"Try meditation."
Lin Dong suddenly spoke up and suggested that she could guess what Ethan was thinking at the moment.
Who made her Ethan's wife?
Ethan's introduction just now made her very happy and she has been in a good mood until now.
"The concept of meditation exists from the emergence of the first elemental shaping master, and it is the way for humans to establish a connection with nature."
Lin Dong said, "Maybe the earliest people discovered the magic net in this way."
"Are you saying 'discover'?"
Ethan asked.
"Of course, with the power of human beings, it is impossible to create a miracle of this level."
Although there are always some shameless elemental shaping masters or magicians who want to attribute their achievements to their individuals in the long history, they end up in failure without exception.
"This question is like the relationship between humans and natural elements. Nowadays, common theories believe that natural elements were born before humans and had almost the same lifespan as the world, while humans are just a special group in a long span."
Historians believe that the world existed for a long time before the age of the Old Gods, which may be longer than the history of mankind itself.
The only problem is that the age of the Old Gods became unrecognizable because of war. It is difficult for them to find evidence of history from a once-destroyed land. In fact, they cannot even define the appearance of the Old Gods. All human knowledge of that era is concentrated in the darkest end.
However, before that, humans had been living in "harmony" with the old gods for a long time.
So historical verification can only become an imagination competition.
How was the first human born?
How did the old god appear?
Almost every era, scholars have to argue about such issues, but there has not been a clear conclusion yet.
"This is a good opportunity. I think the old god may be the one who knows the most about Magic Net, and McCar Delin can only be regarded as the best developer and user of Magic Net."
This may not be what Magic Net really looks like, but Kesalos himself understands the elements of nature.
"I'll try."
Ethan nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
The last time he did this was in the Mage Tower, and when he opened his eyes, he appeared in the "Elemental Magic Academy", which was a place full of youthful atmosphere.
He encountered the wind element wearing the uniform of a female high school student, but it was obvious that it was definitely not the true appearance of the Magic Net and the Elemental Spirit.
His gaze cut into the darkness, and the wind elements around him became stronger and stronger, until a beam of thunder awakened him, and followed by a magnificent rain.
He also heard the surging sound.
When he came to his senses, he had already appeared on the edge of the cliff.
This is a lonely rock located in the sea. It is difficult to explain how it exists through geography. The surging sound of water comes from the lonely rock.
It was a huge vortex. Before the vortex, the human body was as small as an insect.
The young girl stood in front of him.
"There is nothing here."
This time, she spoke up.
This is true. There is no other elemental shaping master, no continent, city-state and civilization, only an empty ocean. Perhaps there will be sea beasts like Eliohm in the depths of the vortex.
The young girl doesn't seem to like this place.
"Is this the magic net?"
Ethan was a little confused.
There was only a lonely rock and whirlpool here, and then there was an endless sea. He really couldn't think of how to develop and utilize it here.
"No." The young girl shook her head, "He doesn't understand the magic net, this is the world in his eyes."
"You mean the world before the birth of civilization."
Ethan thought something.
"Look, in the sky."
The young-haired girl pointed to the sky.
Ethan looked up and saw something looming in the blue sky. Logically speaking, human vision was not enough to cross the clouds and see the scene outside the sky. Modern human experience told him that there was a universe above the sky. He didn't know whether he was in or not the earth, but no matter what, outside this planet, there was a vast space.
This is almost a deeply rooted attempt by modern people, but at this moment, Ethan's common sense was broken.
The universe is not the universe above the sky, but some almost living, squirming huge objects, so huge that it is difficult to imagine their full picture.
Perhaps they can only learn the truth about the "universe" when the first rocket breaks through the clouds.
But the elemental elves seem to be very resistant to the existence above the sky.
It was like a young girl. This time she no longer hid behind Ethan as shyly as usual, but instead blocked him and acted like she wanted to create a person.
She was guarding against what was above her head.
Ethan could not use words to describe everything he was witnessing at this moment. Once such truth spreads, it will become a fear in everyone's heart.
Time passed by minute by minute, and he vaguely felt that the existence above the sky was also examining him, which gave Ethan a wonderful idea.
Maybe this is not the earth.
Therefore, what lingers outside the planet is not the universe, but the plane where the old gods are.
When I visited Lao An before, there was a vast sea of stars above my head.
"Sen, go back."
The young girl warned him, "Don't come again."
Meanwhile, another conversation was in full swing, and in the commander's tent, McCar Delin welcomed an old friend.
His teacher also left and left the tent to the two.
This is a secret meeting.
"Kadra asked me to bring you some news about them."
The Knight Lord straightened his face.
This is his style of conduct, he acted decisively and skipped the dragging greetings.
"You mean sealing? I heard your plan goes well."
"To be precise, it is the origin of the sealing technique. This spell was not invented by Kadra, and of course it has nothing to do with them. They will not create spells to seal themselves."
The Knight Lord paused, "That is an older being, and they came for this."
There was a silence in the camp.
McCar Delin thought about the amazing amount of information contained in this sentence.
It seems that this is the result of his friends' archaeology. As far as he knows, Kadra has been engaged in his archaeological activities all over the world, and he believes it will help them get more information.
"Why do you have to send me a message?"
He soon realized something was wrong.
"Because...he is one of you."
The Knight Lord said, "Or it is your ancestor."
