332 The Goddess of Magic? I will replace her (seeking a monthly pass)
"No wonder a forbidden magic like ascending to the gods will be developed in the future."
Garen looked at the young form of Karsus and thought silently.
Among humans, the gap between genius monsters and ordinary people is no smaller than the gap between legendary dragon species and ordinary true dragons in the dragon clan, and is even larger.
Karsus in Garon's eyes at this time is a good example.
It is foreseeable that if there are no surprises, with his talent, becoming a Grand Arcanist will be a matter of course in the future, and the process will be easy and will not take much time. However, even in Netheril, a country where arcane arts are already extremely prosperous, it is still possible.
There are countless arcanists who spend their entire lives unable to become legends.
In the multiverse, the innate personality or talents of living beings are far more important than hard work and perseverance.
Garen, as a time dragon, knows this very well.
Among the aloof gods, as well as demon lords, devil archdukes, elemental lords and other divine powers, how many of them reached the top the day after tomorrow?
Ninety-nine percent of immortal beings are born this way.
at the same time.
The young Karthus didn't know why his mage hand failed.
He tilted his head and started using other tricks.
The trick does not require reciting incantations. It mainly depends on the degree of control of the elemental energy by the caster. Therefore, even a two-year-old arcanist can perform it at will.
Dancing Wind Technique... Under the control of the young body Karsus, a breeze filled the air and blew towards Gallon.
Of course, let alone using magic tricks, even if he is using nine-ring spells, they may not be effective against Gallon.
"strangeness."
"Why does my spell fail?"
The young Karthus fell into self-doubt.
This two-year-old child's eyes were shining with thought, as if he was thinking about the reason why his spell failed.
Just a few seconds later, Garen noticed that the face of the young Karsus froze. After quietly glancing at Garen, he slowly moved his short legs and walked towards his crib pretending to be nonchalant.
There is a crystal at the head of his bed.
It seems to be a communication crystal that can be used to contact other people.
Probably the arcanist parents of the young Karthus.
"Not only is he gifted, but his intelligence is also far beyond ordinary people."
Garen looked at the young Karsus with calm eyes.
Obviously, the young Karsus had understood that it was not his own mistake that caused the magic to fail, but the creature in front of him that dispelled his magic.
As young as two years old, children realize that they are in a situation beyond their control.
So he planned to seek help from his adult arcanist parents.
A faint dragon's power spread out and enveloped Karsus who reached out to touch the communication crystal, immediately frightening his mind and making the little guy unable to move.
Looking at the communication crystal that was right in front of him and just out of reach, the young Karsus stretched out his hand, but couldn't make the slightest move.
"You, don't eat me."
"I'm so young and have no flesh."
The young Karsus looked at Garen, stammered and said in a panic.
at the same time.
Under Karsus' gaze, Garen said: "Little guy, I'm not a bad person and I won't eat you."
Garon planned to personally train and protect Karthus.
After all, the trajectory of history has changed partially. If Karsus cannot grow up, his trip here will be in vain.
This task should have been left to Iolum.
However, this demigod arcanist was hiding in the dark at this time, quietly sneaking into the underground base camp of Phaelin Demon Kui, secretly looking for traces of the mastermind behind the scenes, wanting to know who it is, and wanting to plot against Netherese.
The Empire and the Goddess of Magic.
The phaerim's abilities are targeted at arcanists.
But this also depends on who the opponent is. For Iolum, the Felin Demon Kui is not that powerful. What makes him fearful is the god behind the scenes.
The task of teaching and protecting Karsus fell on Garen.
Although his magical attainments are not as good as the King of Arcanists, it is more than enough to teach a child, and Karsus has already shown his talent. Garen feels that it should not be difficult for him to grow up as quickly as possible.
And after having this relationship.
When Karsus develops the Ascension Technique, if nothing unexpected happens, he can easily obtain it from him.
After hearing Galen's gentle words, Karsus' nervous little face relaxed a lot.
Garen used spiritual suggestion. No matter how evil the talent of the young Karsus was, he could not withstand the spells of this demigod dragon, so he won the other party's trust with just one sentence.
"Are you a magical cat?"
After the dragon's power dispersed, Karsus looked at Garen curiously and blinked his big eyes, asking.
As a child of the Arcane Kingdom, although Karsus is young, he still has a certain understanding of magical creatures because of his innate intelligence.
Those who can talk are definitely not ordinary little animals.
"Magical Cat?"
Looking at the other party's clear eyes, Garen burst into laughter.
Next, the white cat jumped gracefully and jumped onto the smooth floor with wooden texture.
In a flash of silver light, the little white cat's appearance began to change.
The hair disappeared and turned into scales, the body slowly grew larger, the limbs gradually became thicker, dragon horns grew out from the top of the head, and the silver dragon scales shone... In the blink of an eye, a
The large dragon that almost filled Karsus' room appeared here.
The baby Karthus' buttocks were on the floor, his eyes widening.
"Dragon, dragon, dragon... Wow, it turns out to be Mr. Dragon."
Karsus, who got up again and stood up, looked at the dragon with curious eyes and said.
"Mr. Dragon, why did you come to my house?"
"If you are interested in me and want me to be a dragon knight, then please forgive me for not agreeing. I, Karsus, am destined to become a great arcanist."
After listening to the words of the young Karsus, Garen's face darkened.
Dragon Knight?
He quite dared to think.
Garen stretched out his dragon claws and held Karthus in them.
He was held in the dragon's claws by the giant dragon, but because of Garen's spiritual hint before, Karsus believed that Garen had no ill intentions, and coupled with the nature of a child, he was not too afraid.
"Little guy, how about we make a deal?"
The platinum dragon eyes reflected the young body of Karsus, Garen said.
Little Karsus was slightly startled and said: "Deal? What deal?"
Garen narrowed his eyes and asked first: "You like magic very much, right?"
Karsus nodded vigorously, his eyes lit up slightly, and said: "Yes, I want to become a great arcanist like Iolum."
Éorum is the most famous arcanist in the Netherese Empire.
Every floating city, every spell, there are legends and deeds left by Iolum everywhere.
It was natural for young Karsus to follow his example.
Garen chuckled and lied to the child: "That's just right. My magical attainments are on par with Iolum. He and I once traveled to the continent of Faerûn and studied magic together."
"In the future, I can guide you in spell learning and make you a great arcanist."
"In return, when you grow up in the future, you need to give me a copy of all the spells you develop."
The second half of the sentence is true.
As for his magical attainments, he is on par with Iolum... Karsus looked doubtful and said, "Really? I don't believe it."
"Iolum is the greatest arcanist. No one can compare with him, not even Mr. Dragon."
This kid is hard to fool.
Garen's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a confident and indifferent tone: "Really?"
He swept his dragon's tail.
The wardrobe, desk, magic crystal ball, some small toys of Karthus, etc. in the house were swept up into the air at the same time.
at the same time.
In the exclamation of little Karsus, everything that was about to fall to the ground froze.
Even the light shining through the window made the dust inside stop floating.
This bizarre sight made Karsus open his eyes wide.
He reached out and poked a book frozen in the air, and then exclaimed: "What kind of spell is this?"
Garen smiled slightly and said, "Want to learn? Agree to the deal and I will teach you."
Little Karsus hesitated for a few moments, but still couldn't bear his curiosity about the power of time, and nodded in agreement.
After all, he is a two-year-old child. Although he is much smarter than his peers, he is still easily influenced by the outside world.
"Very well, from now on, you can call me teacher."
"Hello, teacher."
Little Karsus said obediently.
On the other side, Garen looked at the first apprentice he had cheated, with a strange expression in his eyes.
"In the established historical trajectory, the moment Karsus used the Ascension Technique, his name was known to the gods, but he also died at that moment."
"However, in this timeline, you may be able to survive and make full use of your talents."
Garen thought in his heart.
Immediately, Garen used Mirror of Time on Karthus.
Another Karthus was condensed and formed by the power of time, with flesh and blood, and appeared in this house.
Karsus opened his eyes wide and looked at the mirror image that was exactly the same as himself.
Before he could ask any questions, Garen took Karsus in hand and used time teleportation. His body instantly disappeared in the ripples of the long river of time.
The Mystery Barrier of the Floating City prohibits space teleportation. Forcible use will arouse the vigilance of the arcanist guards.
However, Galleon's time transfer is not affected at all.
The mirror image of Karthus remained in the room.
Karthus's arcanist parents were unable to discover the nature of the mirror image.
The next second, Garon and Karsus appeared in a deep mountain range that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.
In a canyon with flowing water and dense trees, Garen said to little Karsus: "From now on, I will teach you spells here."
at the same time.
Garen cast a seventh-level transformation spell.
Castle making.
In the exclamation of little Karsus, the earth shook, the earth and rocks bulged and deformed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a castle.
Gallon then shrouded the entire canyon in an invisible magic circle, and raised clouds of mist at the edge, hiding the place, and then attracted shadow servants, invisible servants, magic beasts, etc., adding some vitality to the empty castle.
At the same time, Garen's body size returned to its original size.
The majestic dragon body made little Karsus look with admiration.
Giant creatures naturally have this charm.
After showing off his spells and body to convince little Karsus of his abilities, Garon officially began to teach little Karsus.
"What kind of ability do you think magic is?"
Beside the clear stream, the silver dragon said this to the two and a half year old boy.
Little Karsus bit his finger, thought about it carefully, and said: "Spells are the power to shape reality and change reality."
Garen nodded slightly, satisfied with little Karsus' answer.
What he was talking about was not the lengthy introduction to magic principles in some magic books, but a concise self-understanding.
For a two-and-a-half-year-old child to be able to perform magic tricks and have such knowledge of magic, Garen could only describe him as a monster.
He is a born arcanist.
"Whatever you think a spell is, that's what it is."
"It can be a weapon to kill, a good medicine to save people, a protective barrier...it is the will of the caster."
Next, Garen began to teach little Karthus from the zero-ring trick.
Currently, little Karthus knows three tricks of his own.
Light spell, wind dance spell, mage's hand.
In the magic system, sleight of hand, as the most basic magic, is extremely numerous.
When Garen was learning tricks by himself, he could almost count them all by just looking at them.
Then, in the process of teaching little Karsus, he discovered that little Karsus could learn tricks without any obstacles.
It was as if magic was his innate talent.
In the silent canyon, time passes quietly.
The following days became simple and repetitive.
Little Karsus studied magic with Garen in the canyon for a week, and then returned to the floating city to live for a few days, before being picked up and taught by Garen.
Because of his innate love for magic, little Karthus himself was very interested in it.
If Garen doesn't go to him for a long time, he will contact Garen anxiously and want to return to the canyon with Garen to learn spells.
The spells Garen knows are much more than those of the arcane masters in the Magic Academy of the Floating City.
The long river of time flows forever.
As little Karsus grew older, he became more and more aware of the power of his dragon teacher. All the arcane masters he had ever seen, including the Lord of the Floating City who was a great arcanist, could not compete with Karsus.
Compared to Long.
For Garen, this young apprentice is very worry-free.
Because any knowledge related to magic can be easily learned by Garen as long as he teaches it casually. He can even draw inferences from one example and ask Garen questions.
In this regard, for a period of time, Garen's confidence grew somewhat, and he felt that he was too good a teacher.
However, when he thought that Iolum would rather study on his own than need his guidance, Garen's newly swollen heart returned to reality.
Obviously.
Karsus' progress was not due to Garen's good teaching, but because of his own talent. After being thrown into an arcane library for more than ten years, he could still become a Grand Arcanist after he taught himself.
Very quickly.
Four years have flown by.
In the war between the arcanist and the phaerim, the arcanist is gradually at a disadvantage.
Because the arcanist's magic absorption is extremely restrained, it is difficult for the arcanist's spells to cause effective damage to the phaerim. However, some national forces that do not rely so much on magic are watching with cold eyes, looking forward to the fall of the Nether Empire and not adding insult to injury.
, and didn’t provide any help at all.
Countless phaerinn demons are constantly using the magic of absorbing.
The surface of the earth is constantly deserting, and the energy supply of the core of the magic network is getting less and less. As a result, the floating cities have begun to lack resources. The most terrible thing is that the immortality spell that the great arcanists rely on for their livelihood has also been affected by the magic-absorbing spell.
influence.
Absorbing magic is almost like an ability specifically designed to destroy Netheril.
In the area where the magic is absorbed.
The effect of immortality is rapidly weakening.
If the phaerinn demons cannot be eliminated in time, and the immortality spell completely fails, if the great arcanists want to survive, they can only give up their human minds and bodies and become immortal aliens such as lichs.
However, the King of Arcanists, who is regarded as the hope by countless arcanists and leads Netheril to glory, has never shown his face.
This made the atmosphere in Netheril even more solemn.
Some rumors even spread, saying that the King of Arcanists saw the end of Nether's destruction and thought it was irreversible, so he abandoned the country.
Of course, more arcanists believe that the King of Arcanists is looking for a way to deal with the phaerinn in his own way.
However, such a tense situation did not affect Garonne and Karsus.
In the midst of a lush green canyon.
Karsus, who was already six years old, was wearing a small magic robe, holding a short staff, and reciting incantations with a solemn expression.
After just a few seconds, he waved his staff.
Buzz!
Elemental energy gathers.
The three-ring micrometeor was successfully constructed.
Several fist-sized light clusters, like small meteors, flew around Karsus, then whizzed out and landed on the ground, creating dark pits.
"Teacher, I learned about micro-meteors!"
After the spell was successfully cast, little Karsus looked excited, ran to the hill-like silver dragon, and said.
Garen raised his eyes, his heart unmoved.
"Well, continue to cast it, shorten the construction time, and I will teach you other third-ring spells after you master it."
Karsus, who was just six years old, had officially become a third-level arcanist, while his peers were still accumulating magic knowledge and could not use a single trick.
Little Karsus did not leave immediately.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Garen in a weak tone: "Teacher, I accidentally exposed that I can cast formal spells in the floating city."
"People from the Church of the Goddess of Magic came to my home many times and asked me to join the Church of the Goddess and become a believer of the goddess."
Garen frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?"
Little Karsus shrank his neck, then lowered his head, staring at his toes.
Garen shook his head slightly and did not reprimand again.
After all, he is just a child over six years old, and it is inevitable to accidentally reveal his true level.
"Lift your head and look directly at me."
After hearing the silver dragon's words, Karsus raised his head and looked at the pair of platinum dragon eyes as deep as the sea.
He could see his own little figure in it.
"Teacher, don't be angry, I won't dare to do it next time."
Karsus said.
Garon lowered his eyes and looked at the future great arcanist, and said in a serious tone: "Karsus, do you want to join the Church of the Goddess of Magic?"
"I will not interfere with you in this matter."
He said in a calm voice: "If you are willing, then join. If not, the people from the Goddess of Magic Church will not look for you again."
Karsus, who was just six years old, shook his head, with a hint of pride on his immature face.
"I don't want to be a believer in a god."
"Becoming God is my goal."
"And I believe that one day, I will become a god."
He knows that he is different and his goals are quite ambitious.
Garen chuckled and said, "What kind of god do you want to be?"
Karsus looked up at the sky with longing in his eyes and said, "Of course he is the God of Magic."
After hearing Karsus' answer, Garen was slightly startled.
This guy... Garen increasingly believes that he can develop the art of ascending to the gods in the future. He is only six years old and already has this goal.
"With the goddess of magic here, it's not easy for you to become the god of magic."
Garen smiled.
Karsus thought for a while and said: "This world is so big, can't it accommodate two gods of magic at the same time?"
Garen nodded and said, "I'm afraid not."
Karsus chuckled and said in a joking tone: "Then I will replace the goddess of magic."
"Teacher, if you want to follow me, I can make you a god."
Garen blew a breath, causing Karsus to lose his footing and sit down on the ground.
"Letting me follow you is more difficult to achieve than replacing the goddess of magic."
Karsus patted the dust on his butt and stood up, saying: "Hey, how will you know if it works if you don't try it?"
After that, the six-year-old boy continued to practice magic.
After casting it almost two or three times, he was able to cast Micro Meteor with ease, and then Garen began to teach him to learn new three-ring spells.
After a while, Garon brought Karsus back to the floating city.
At the same time, he transformed into Iolum and went to the Church of the Goddess of Magic in the floating city.
The Church of the Goddess of Magic is the only officially recognized church organization in the Netheril Empire.
This church is distributed in all major floating cities, and a certain number of arcanists have joined it because of their belief in the goddess of magic.
After walking for a while in the bustling streets, Garen, wearing a hooded robe, arrived at the location of the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
Looking up the stairs, you can see the sculpture belonging to the goddess of magic.
On the wall of the temple, there are seven whirling stars, which are the holy emblem of the goddess of magic. Arcanists who believe in the goddess of magic come and go and enter the church to pray.
As for the ordinary arcanists who pass by here, most of them will stop for a moment and pay respect to the goddess of magic before leaving.
From this, it can be seen that the goddess of magic has a higher status in Netheril.
Garen raised his head and lifted his hood, revealing Iolum's appearance.
As soon as he showed up, wearing the appearance of Iolum, he naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Your Excellency Iolum, do you have any business coming to the church?"
"Do you need me to take you to see the Bishop?"
A believer came over and asked Gallon.
The priest of the Goddess of Magic did not believe that anyone would pretend to be the King of Arcanists in the temple, and they were unable to detect Garon's disguise.
"Convey this to your bishop here."
"Karsus is my disciple. People from the Church of the Goddess of Magic should stay away from him."
Garen said calmly.
After hearing his words, the surrounding believers looked at each other.
This king of arcanists actually went out in person to compete with the Church of the Goddess of Magic for disciples... Some arcanists are thinking, who is Karsus to have such an honor?
Some arcanists who knew this genius felt that they might have underestimated Karthus' talent.
"We will pass on your message."
The believer said.
They don't dare to neglect the Arcanist King.
In the Nether Empire, the actual influence of the goddess of magic is not as great as that of Iolum. Compared with an illusory god, the Arcanist King who personally leads the Nether Empire to greatness is more worthy of the respect of arcanists.
suddenly.
Garen noticed a peek of eyes.
He turned around and his eyes fell on the sculpture of the goddess of magic.
After smiling gently at the sculpture of the goddess of magic and bowing politely, the peeping gaze disappeared, and Garen left the place.
at the same time.
In the very deep depths of the earth.
Traveling through layers of soil and rocks, all the way down, you can reach a huge area with empty caves somewhere underground. Countless winding tunnels are spread throughout it, with traces of slippery slime.
Countless phaerimms live here.
This is the base camp of Felin Demon Kui.
At the same time, the King of Arcanists, who had transformed into a phaerim, was walking through it, using his telepathy very familiarly to chat and communicate with other phaerim he met along the way. Every move he made was no different from an ordinary phaerim.
