Chapter 29 The Nature of Magic
That's the end of it. The next day, Kalechi, who couldn't hold back his excitement and excitement, gave the ironworks contract to Paladin. He also asked doubtfully: "Although the iron smelting factory is expensive, there are countless iron smelting factories here. In comparison, the pottery factory is more valuable. Why choose the former?"
In response to Kalechi's question, Paladin smiled noncommittally and closed the door. Indeed, as Kalechi said, the profits earned by the ironworks in Nurbari are obviously not as much as those of the pottery factories. But what Kalechi didn't expect was that what if other iron smelting plants closed down one after another for various reasons? Death from accidental illness, being murdered, or being annexed are all possible. Then, Paladin laughed darkly. For a large amount of gold coins, he will do anything...
Paladin, who was still presiding at mass and listening to confessions on weekdays, secretly stayed in the room, studying the magic book he got from Northen. At this time, Paladin was sitting in the room, looking at the magic book eagerly and making gestures with his hands.
Finally, Paladin stood up and began to chant according to the first spell recorded in the magic book, the incantation of the Arrow of Light: "Kaduowakaka, that wisp of Silova, the card coin is sharp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Paladin immediately opened his mouth in shock! Because his eyes that could see all elements suddenly discovered that several silver rays of light suddenly flashed in the mid-air, crisscrossing each other to form a cone, and there were rays of light inside that cut interlaced lines. At first glance It looks like a circular highway!
Before Paladin could react, hundreds of pure white light elements floated in from outside the window! As if being attracted, they rushed towards the cone in mid-air in front of Paladin. But something strange happened at this moment! As soon as these white light elements approached Paladin, the golden light elements around him immediately violently rioted. As if they were provoked by something, a group of them swarmed up and violently collided with the white light elements!
Paladin looked shocked, presumably this white light element was the power of the Holy See. According to common sense, these are the real light elements. But why couldn't he find any white light elements in the sky despite his ability to see all elements at this time? On the contrary, from the sunlight, you can see dense and active golden light elements that are exactly the same as those around you? The dark wizard of Belair who is opposed to the Holy See. Paladin has never seen that dark and sinister black element. Are these two really light elements and dark elements? Do these two elements really exist in the world?
Paladin, who was trapped in endless thoughts, suddenly came back to his senses. I saw hundreds of white light elements being knocked away by the golden elements, and soon they disappeared without a trace. Correspondingly, the frame of light gathering floating in the air also dissipated at the same time.
But at this moment, as soon as the orderly intertwined roads in the frame collapsed, Paladin was immediately shocked to see a circle of invisible ripples spread out from the collapsed structure. All free magic elements caught by the ripples were immediately Adsorbed on it, he rushed towards Paladin in an extremely violent and frantic manner! At this moment, Paladin's self-taught alchemy over the years was finally not in vain. Seeing this, he immediately jumped up subconsciously and shouted in shock: "The magic sequence structure collapsed! Arcane wave!"
Paladin suddenly recalled the hiding place leading to Ripley's Scroll in the Free Masons' Guild. Professor Francis destroyed the sequence structure that makes up magic, causing a fierce collision of elements, resulting in arcane waves.
But now, he has witnessed with his own eyes the creation of arcane waves, the structure of the magic sequence that can only be perceived through meditation, and the process of how elements turn into magic! Paladin was excited to discover that with his strange and strange perspective, he not only saw the elements, but also looked directly at the most fundamental and primitive essence of magic!
Paladin, who was still in excitement, saw the arcane wave coming towards his face, but was attacked by a group of more than 300 light elements lingering around him, instantly defeating the rioting elements in the arcane wave! There was a magical backlash in alchemy and magic that was so shocking, but it was solved by Paladin effortlessly!
Paladin stood there blankly, looking at his hands with a look that seemed to be crying or smiling. He murmured in disbelief: "It turns out that I have always underestimated myself." Before he finished speaking, Paladin narrowed his eyes, and the magical structure of the arrow of light that he had seen before immediately appeared in his mind.
Stretching out his hands, Paladin was delighted to see that an identical cone-shaped structure immediately appeared in front of him! Without hesitation, Paladin directed the golden light elements to pour into the structure. It operates in an inherent order according to the magic sequence seen before. A miracle happened! At this moment, a golden cone of light gathered in front of Paladin's hands, shining with dazzling brilliance!
Paladin suddenly became more playful, and he felt in his heart that although they gathered into a cone of light, they were still like arms like the golden light elements around him. As soon as he thought about it, he saw the arrow of light emitting golden light immediately turning rapidly. According to Paladin's thoughts, it was entangled back and forth between his hands, and from time to time it would do somersaults and wander around. Seeing this, Paladin nodded with satisfaction.
When he saw the vase on the table, he immediately waved with one hand. The golden cone immediately flashed with golden light and rushed towards the vase! Bang! Hearing a loud noise, Paladin clucked his tongue and saw that the vase immediately exploded and shattered! Paladin, who was surprised by the power, just stepped forward to check, but was shocked to see that a huge gap had been punched through the wooden wall behind the vase!
"Whether it is Enos, the God of Light, or Belair, the God of Darkness. Who can tell me what kind of power this is!" For the first time, Paladin felt fear of his own power. He couldn't help but ask himself, could he really control such a terrifyingly powerful and terrifyingly fast-moving force? However, this thought only lasted for a moment, and was extinguished by the desire in Paladin's heart.
Paladin now doesn't know that his abilities are even more terrifying than he imagined. If there is a mage present at the scene, he will definitely have a psychological breakdown and become angry to death! Looking directly at the essence of magic, you only need to watch the magic once, understand the magic structure and sequence, and then you can cast it!
And the power is even higher! This is no longer a genius, it is simply an insult to magicians all over the world! Trampling on the magical knowledge gained through tens of thousands of years and lives! Even more, as long as Paladin has more contact, he can create his own magic and arrange and combine the magic structures by himself! It is an existence that stands above magic, it is the power of gods! The power of creation!
What's even more difficult to accept is that Paladin's mental power is surprisingly strong. A newcomer who has only been exposed to orthodox magic for a few days can control magic at will with mental control that even a great magician cannot achieve! And strong spiritual power is precisely the power that many magicians work hard and hard to pursue throughout their lives.
At this time, Paladin realized something. In fact, the magic that is passed down as a miracle by the world uses incantations to build a framework and distribute the sequence. Then inject the elements into the frame with their affinity, and it becomes magic.
To use a metaphor, it is like a melting pot. The mantra is a sketch drawn by predecessors in search of the truth. Drawn through your mouth, reconstitute the furnace. The flame of the furnace is a magical element, and it depends on your affinity to increase or decrease the firepower. This provides power for the furnace. So that the furnace can work properly. And the crucible of work is magic!
Some mages who can cast instantly have a deep understanding of the structure through meditation and multiple spell castings, so they can draw without incantations and directly pour elements into the magic. This is also understandable, those powerful magicians from ancient legends, such as Saint. Magella. Given the title of Saint, he created many powerful and wonderful magics. Because he has understood the true meaning of magic, he no longer needs to use incantations. He can directly use meditation to draw the frame, distribute the sequence, and create magic.
But even this is far less than Paladin's terrifying ability at this time. What took Saint Magellan almost a lifetime to reach, Paladin achieved in just a few days. Even, holy. Magella could not see the elements or the magical structure at all. He could only use meditation to sense a little bit.
As for Paladin, you can watch it directly! For Magella to create magic, it would take at least several months of trial and error. As for Paladin, he can create new magic by just changing it! Just like a blind man groping an elephant, he can see something in one glance, but the blind man has to grope slowly for a long time, and it is very easy to make mistakes!
As you can see, Paladin's potential is unimaginable! It's just that at this time, he still didn't have this awareness.
