"With the encouragement of my teacher, I left that shop, my hometown, and embarked on an adventurous journey. The outside world is indeed very exciting. I have experienced all kinds of thrills and made many good friends.
, it was at that time that we met Jhalib. Alas, more than eighty years have passed."
"After about ten years of adventure, I have gained a certain amount of experience and have reached the level of a senior magician. However, I have never taken the promotion exam for the Magic Guild because the teacher said,
The most important thing for a magician is to be able to endure loneliness."
Delanai's speech was a bit scattered, and it seemed that many of the fragments had been buried in his memory for a long time. However, Ryan could completely understand Delanai's mood. He did not speak, but stood there quietly, becoming a competent person.
audience.
Delanai talked for more than two hours, letting Ryan understand his growth experience one after another, and then finally got to the point of today: "Finally one day, the teacher came to me and brought me here. Here,
She told me a secret, and from that day on, my destiny completely changed. A few years ago, when I went to find Ghalib, I saw you, as if I saw you when I was young, and then Professor
You magic."
"It's really a coincidence. When my teacher Jessie was a child, the great mage Mellen met her by chance and taught her magic. And it was because of the chance encounter that my teacher Jessie taught me that I met her by chance.
The same goes for you, haha." Delanai said with a smile: "Among the seven heroes, people most yearn for the Archmage Meren or the Holy Knight Fernando. They may remember the Great Elder Shan Ying who gave his life, but
Almost no one talks about Jessie."
"In people's minds, Jie Xi was just lucky enough to become a student of Archmage Mellen. Although she established the weights and measures system of Eslar Continent and had great inventions in many aspects, she even presided over the
She built the city of Fernando, but many people still stubbornly believe that Melen was probably guiding her there."
"In reality, the seven heroes are all worthy of their names. It's just that not many people know much about Jie Xi's deeds. 200 years ago, when the Archmage Mellen successfully used the 'Confinement Technique' to banish the demigod lich to another world.
World, he is already thinking about the future. Human lifespan is limited, how to continue to deter human enemies after all the existing heroes have passed away has become a question that Archmage Meren and Holy Knight Fernando are thinking about."
"If you think about it, you have no choice. The method Fernando adopted was to form the Royal Knights and train an elite army with the power of the country. However, this army can defeat ordinary enemies, but it cannot fight against monsters like the demigod lich.
Therefore, the Archmage Meren formulated a detailed magician training plan. In that plan, there are detailed and effective steps for a magician from being an apprentice to being promoted to a grand mage."
"In the view of Archmage Melen, even if there are no Archmages among humans in the future, they can still rely on the large number of Archmages to deter the enemy. Unfortunately, the subsequent changes are far from what he imagined. No, this is not correct. It should be said
, the rate at which people’s hearts have fallen is much faster than Master Mellen imagined, so that system has almost ceased to exist in name only.”
"Isn't it said that Master Mellen's promotion method has seriously restricted the growth of magicians?" Ryan finally couldn't help but ask.
Delanai shook his head and said: "The plan that Mellen left behind has been stored in a library. Do you think it is just a promotion test? In fact, this plan has almost never been actually implemented, because under Fernando II
On the night of my succession, the library caught fire, and then..."
"Why, why is this happening?"
"This is the human heart. Once magicians become popular, the most powerful person in this country will not be the Fernando royal family, but the Magic Guild. And in order to ensure the deterrence of the Royal Knights, not only externally, but also internally,
It is conceivable that Fernando II would continue to do so."
"Could it be that the future of mankind..." Just as Ryan asked, he was interrupted by Delanai, who said in a hurried tone: "Then why did the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion last for hundreds of years? Why were there nobles and
The difference between common people? Why can an incompetent monarch rule countless outstanding people?"
"Child, this world is not what you imagine. Wherever there are people, there are selfish motives. At least from the perspective of maintaining the rule of the empire, Fernando II was completely right to do this, because for 200 years, there was nothing that could be done to him.
Their right to rule has consequences."
"In fact, Archmage Melen has already guessed this, because the entire magician training plan can only be launched with the support of the state. Fernando I will certainly not object, but what about his successor? So Melen used another
One way to protect this land he loves so much and the people who have lived on this land for generations is my teacher Jessie."
"Jessie? Protect?"
"That's right. Master Mellen personally took a branch from the Tree of Life and spent all his energy to make it into a powerful magic item, which is the one I was holding in my hand before. After getting it
After the inheritance from Master Melen, Jie Xi became the first owner of this staff and the first guardian of this continent."
"Teacher, are you the second one?"
"That's right, Jiexi brought me here and told me the whole story, and then passed on this staff to me, and I took on the important task of guarding the destiny of mankind. Alas, seventy years passed in a flash
years."
"Look, this is the magic wand made by Master Mellen himself. Its name is 'Guardian of the Earth'" Delanai took out the wand from his storage pocket and handed it to
Ryan. Ryan stretched out his hands to take it respectfully and looked at it carefully.
The appearance of this staff is very rough, and even the bark has not been removed. However, when Ryan took it in his hand, he immediately felt like he had been acquainted with it, because this feeling was the same as what Allen had given him.
The one he received was very similar, but the effect was far greater than the one Allen gave to him.
"I'm old and coming to the end of my life. Now it's time to pass it on." Delanai coughed a few times, and then said softly: "Own this staff and let it recognize you.
Lord, you can get the power inherited by the Archmage Meren. Even if you know nothing about magic, you can reach the peak of the Archmage in an instant. It can be said that except for the forbidden magic, you are completely proficient in all magic.
It’s like you’ve been studying hard for decades.”
"Although it is just a ceremony, I still want to ask, Ryan, are you willing to take over this 'Earth Guardian' and do your best to protect the fate of all the people in this land? Are you willing to endure loneliness?
Just for a promise?"
