"Semmel was originally a genius." The old magician's voice was low and his eyes were blurry. He looked at the snowy field in front of him. The cold wind raised his beard and his eyes sparkled...
"The first time I met Semel was at the temple's annual New Year's blessing ceremony. At that ceremony, all dignitaries in the imperial capital would be invited to attend, together with the emperor and the pope.
Pray to the gods and ask them to bless this continent and the prosperity of the Roland Empire. It was at the ceremony that year that I met Semmel for the first time. At that time, she was just over twenty years old, but she was already the capital of the empire.
He is recognized as the most talented astrologer and was even hired by His Majesty as the court astrologer the previous year.
At that time, I had inherited Aragon's magic. I had a very high status in the Magic Association. No one knew that a senior member of the Magic Association would be an outright enemy of the temple. While I was practicing Aragon secretly,
With the magic knowledge left behind, I was quietly searching for a suitable magical successor to Aragorn. Because the magic left by His Majesty Aragorn was very profound, and I was almost fifty years old at that time. In order to inherit Aragorn's legacy, I must
Find a suitable successor, pass on everything I have learned and know, and sow more seeds! Otherwise, if one day I am suddenly exposed or die, then everything will be over.
In the end, the person I chose was Semel.
She is a genius, I learned this from many aspects. And I quietly approached her to test her a few times. Her magic talent is also very good. The most important thing is that her background is very clean.
The profession of astrologers has always been respected by people, but it has little status. Not many people will make great efforts to win over a powerless astrologer. The temple does not pay much attention to this group. And Semmel's family
The background is also very simple, almost a blank sheet of paper.
Finally, I found her quietly, got to know her, and taught her some magic... You know, at that time, Semmel had already put forward many interesting assumptions about astrology, but those assumptions seemed fanciful to others...
...Haha. She was originally a girl full of whimsical ideas. And I just catered to her ideas, so we had a good time. In the end, she was inspired by me and came up with a new idea: Why do the stars
Can't power be a magical force?"
Hearing this, Du Wei already sighed.
I see. Semmel proposed that the power of stars can also be used in magic... This idea was actually inspired by the old magician.
In order to satisfy her research desire, I accompanied her to travel across the mainland. We looked for precious materials everywhere. For example, we would carefully inspect the locations of stars that fell from the sky in history recorded in documents, and finally we found
There are several precious stones, which are said to be the fragments left behind after the stars fell from the sky and fell to the ground.
The years I spent traveling around the mainland with her were the happiest years of my life. Semel is a smart, considerate woman, and being with her seems like something new every day!"
The old magician's voice was extremely affectionate, which perhaps even he himself didn't notice.
"Then what?" Du Wei asked softly.
"Then... we perfected Semmel's idea step by step. Finally, we created the so-called star magic." The old magician said with a strange mockery in his tone: "Actually, I deceived her.
The so-called 'creation' is basically the result of me hinting her in many details intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, I just taught her Aragorn's magic knowledge bit by bit while we were discussing and studying. And Aragorn
His Majesty Gong's magic is different from many magics on this continent. It completely inherits the magical strength of the devil and is very different from the existing magic system on the continent. With these inspirations, Semel finally made a breakthrough.
She came up with the so-called star magic... Oh, I named this name for her. Because the magic system she so-called 'created' is actually the one of Aragorn, so
, I simply didn’t even change the name, and just named it after Aragorn’s magic. Star fighting spirit plus star magic, this was originally what His Majesty Aragorn relied on to dominate the world. However, Semel had never heard of star magic.
I thought it was a very suitable name, so I accepted it.”
When he said this, the old magician paused for a while. There was a smile on his face, as if he was indulging in some happy memories, with a soft expression and gentle eyes...
"At that time... we got along very happily. She was like my good friend and my disciple. Being with her, it seemed that even I myself became a little younger." The old magician shook his head, and then
There was a hint of haze in his eyes: "But then, I began to think that sooner or later I would have to tell her something... Tell her everything about Aragorn, all the secrets, because she is the suitable heir I have chosen."
"Did you say that?" Du Wei asked.
"I... was very hesitant." There was a trace of struggle on the old magician's face: "She is so happy... so simple, and likes a simple, free and peaceful life... I suddenly regretted that I took such a happy and simple woman,
It is really a sin to delay this complicated and heavy historical grudge. So, I kept delaying it until... we returned to the imperial capital, until..."
Du Wei's heart moved, as if he thought of something.
"We returned to the imperial capital after traveling for three years. One day that year, some strange phenomena appeared in the starry sky. His Majesty ordered the best astrologers to come for divination. Later, at a palace banquet, Semmel
I got to know Zach of the Luo Lin family. Oh, boy, he is your great-great-grandfather, Zac Luo Lin. He was the youngest general of the Imperial Military Command at the time."
"Then what?" Du Wei smiled bitterly.
"Then?" There was a trace of coldness in the old magician's eyes that made Du Wei feel a little chilly. He sneered: "Then... I don't know what means your great-great-great-grandfather used to deceive Semmel's heart.
.The two fell in love!"
Obviously, what was revealed in the old magician's eyes was a kind of jealousy! A kind of jealousy and resentment revealed from deep in his heart!
What is certain is that in addition to the feelings of friend and master and disciple, this old guy has obviously developed other special feelings for Semel!
What happens after that is relatively simple:
The old magician fell in love when he saw the female genius he had trained. Then he married the contemporary head of the famous Luo Lin family, the youngest and most promising general of the imperial military command, Zach Luo Lin. On the one hand, he
He can't tolerate his beloved woman falling into the arms of others. On the other hand, how can the heir he trained throw himself into other families? Then wouldn't all the hard work in the past few years have been in vain?
Therefore, just before Semel married Zach, the old magician found Semel, and the two had a profound conversation.
The old magician did not describe the content of the conversation in detail. However, Du Wei could infer two conclusions from the fragments and lines.
First of all, the old magician must have revealed his inner admiration for this female genius who is almost half of his disciples! And it is certain that Semmel refused. In fact, Semmel has never been interested in this female genius who is older than himself.
A man twice her age (according to her age at the time) had any kind of relationship. She had always regarded the old magician simply as a good friend with similar aspirations, or a kind-hearted companion who was half teacher and half friend.
.That's all. This made the old magician very sad.
Then, the sad old magician finally revealed all the secrets about his original purpose of cultivating Semmel: the unsolved historical mystery of Aragorn!
It's a pity that Semel, who is very personal, also refused!
"Her tone at that time was really similar to yours, kid." The old magician looked haggard and whispered: "Do you still remember what you said to me two days ago? You said, 'You are the strongest people in the mainland.
"Well, you are paladins and magicians, but what does this have to do with me!" She probably said the same thing at the time."
At that time, Semel expressed his anger very fiercely.
"Whether it's Aragorn, gods, demons...what does this have to do with me? Gods and demons can fight if they want to fight, and fight if they want! Whether it's a temple or an imperial power, I don't care about these.
I don’t have any interest! I just want to live my own life! Why should I be burdened with these historical deposits that already exude the smell of decay? Why should I get stuck in this kind of thing that has happened for hundreds of years?
Do you want to get involved in this kind of thing? I don’t want to! I don’t want to get involved in this kind of thing! I have my freedom! I just want to live my own life! My Semel life! Not inheriting other people’s legacy!!”
As a result, the old magician left sadly. Semel married into the Luo Lin family and lived a very happy life for several years.
But a few years later, the old magician came to visit him again and secretly met with Semel.
In those few years, the old magician spent a lot of effort to obtain some secret documents and materials. He even sneaked into the palace quietly to obtain many of the handwritings left by His Majesty the founding emperor. He even boldly sneaked into the temple...
…repeatedly!
Finally, an astonishing message was pieced together from a lot of information. The astonishing message made the old magician unable to sit still. He needed a powerful helper to complete something together. In desperation, he had to find
Semmel, who is already a powerful magician.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, and even though they had made it clear that they had no interest in inheriting any legacy, Semmel agreed to help because of their friendship back then and because the old magician had carefully taught him.
.
But, just this once.
But it happened to help me just this time, and something big happened!
