The gray-clothed man's lecture ended successfully, and he took the initiative to fully disclose his true identity on the Spellcaster Forum on "The Forum of the Sages".
There was a huge wave up and down Nolan. Except for the shivering students of Rusk Academy, the man in gray also relied on the identity of the gray-white owl to successfully establish a close-to-the-people image among the people of Nolan.
It's just that afterward, the man in gray asked Qiao Xiu for a brand new account of the caster forum. In short, the previous vest was no longer usable, so he was going to change it.
"The Sage's Forum" lasted for two and a half hours. The gray-clothed man has been telling the story from the establishment of Nolan to the era when countless adventurers poured into the underground ruins to explore. At that time, Nolan was still a kind of "gold digger". Gathered town.
As a personal experiencer, Qiao Xiu learned a lot of little-known secrets from Nolan's past in the story of the man in gray.
The two sages said goodbye to Qiao Xiu after the show ended, and only the one in purple chose to stay.
Joshua saw the man in purple in a hall dedicated to displaying paintings at the Nolan National Theater, and she was standing in front of a huge painting.
The theme of the painting is "Seven Sages".
This oil painting depicts the scene of Nolan's seven sages sitting around a round table. Judging from the quality of the painting, it should be an authentic work of great value.
"I don't like this painting." The man in purple said suddenly when he felt the steps of Joshua and Ciri.
"Is it because the figure in the purple robe is a male?"
Qiao Xiu slowly walked towards the man in purple standing in front of the painting, and asked her tentatively.
"I guessed wrong. The author of this painting is a caster of the burning flame system. Only the inscriptions on the four sages in the painting are correct, and the inscriptions about the spirit and illusion systems are all clumsy fakes."
Qiao Xiu glanced at the painting hanging on the wall again, and if he looked closely, the seven sages' robes on the painting were engraved with delicate magic inscriptions.
"I haven't learned the magic of the illusion system, so I can't understand the meaning of those inscriptions. You came to me specifically, the one in purple. Could it be that you bought this painting and destroyed it?" Qiao Xiu didn't show it on the painting The question continued to be entangled, and he began to directly ask the reason why the man in purple wanted to see him.
"Not all sages are as cranky as Crowhir."
As she spoke, she pulled down the hood on her head, revealing her face that was much younger than other sages, and her lavender low ponytail went over her shoulders and draped over her chest.
The most striking thing is the tear mole at the corner of her right eye. The purple-clothed person looks like she is in her mid-thirties.
It's hard for her to connect with other sages at this age.
"Melloles, although it's a bit awkward, it's just my name." After the man in purple deliberately teased the man in yellow, he directly confessed his real name to Qiao Xiu.
"Although I have told you last time, I will officially introduce this time. I am Joshua Arnolder, and this is my assistant, Ciri Lloyd." Joshua said.
"I should have guessed, you are the heir of the Lloyd family."
The man in purple looked at Ciri who was standing behind Qiao Xiu, which made Ciri, who had been guarding the purple-haired old goblin in front of him, stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that the purple clothed man's attention would fall on her.
"So what?" Ciri directly admitted her surname, although Ciri hated the style of nobles, including showing off her surname.
But the surname represented both the father, whom Ciri hated, and the mother, who raised them so hard.
"I know your mother, she is a genius." The man in purple said softly.
"Miss Mellors, are you standing here just to chat with my assistant about the past?"
Joshua saw the gloomy expression on Ciri's face. In Joshua's memory, Ciri's childhood was not a happy one, so Joshua stood in front of Ciri and prevented the purple clothed man from deliberately provoking the topic of the past.
"There are some unpleasant things in the past, forget it... let's talk about the future."
The lavender inscription spread around the purple clothed man, and Ciri clenched the staff in his hand at this moment, but Joshua stopped Ciri's movement.
All the purple-robed man did was to establish a barrier at the entrance of the painting hall.
"It's not something unspeakable to take it easy, I just don't want too many people to know."
The man in purple opened the sleeves of his robe, revealing his fair arms. On his arms were a large number of inscriptions that stretched to his shoulders. These inscriptions may have covered the sage's body.
"My body's lifespan is only one year." The man in purple said a fact that shocked Nolan up and down in a calm tone.
Joshua also politely showed a surprised expression.
"Nolan's sages are all old and dying monsters. The situation of the man in white is worse than mine, but he is not afraid of his own death, and I am the same. There is one thing that is more difficult for me than death. Accept." The expression on the purple-robed man's face was very calm.
"Please speak." Qiao Xiu temporarily put aside his confrontation, and what the man in purple told Qiao Xiu could basically be regarded as something like a will.
"That is my knowledge will be completely lost by my death."
The man in purple looked at Joshua and Ciri quietly with his lavender pupils.
When Joshua heard this, he touched the mark of the skeleton on the palm of his hand. In this world, powerful spellcasters can choose to convert themselves into undead to gain more lifespan.
But not all spellcasters can let go of their human dignity and survive in this way.
The one in purple may have hesitated, but now she has made a choice.
"You should have many disciples, why did you find us?" Qiao Xiu didn't understand that if he wanted to inherit the knowledge of the Purple Clothes, there was no reason to find him, the Chaos Demon.
"Many disciples?" A self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on the face of the man in purple, and he turned to look at the "Seven Sages" painting behind him. "Do you know which magic factions Nolan is most popular with?"
"Burning flames, order, thunder and running water... I don't know much about the rest. Anyway, I have beaten the most mages who can throw fireballs in the past few years in Nolan." Ciri answered this question for Qiao Xiu.
"Yes, most spellcasters learn magic in pursuit of power. In terms of destructive power, flames, lightning, and even extreme cold are the first choices."
The purple-clothed man looked at the inscription overflowing in his palm, and the lavender inscription slowly fluttered beside the purple-clothed man.
"The believers of the god of spirits and illusions are the least in Nolan. Whether it is the illusion system's destructive spells, it is very rare. Only the spiritual system has a part of offensive magic."
The purple-clothed man clenched his hand slightly, and the inscriptions surrounding her all dissipated. Her gaze turned to the place where the yellow-clothed man was sitting in "Seven Sages" again.
"Seven years ago, I competed with the man in yellow for an apprentice. Although she has shown amazing talent in the magic of the thunder system, if her talent in thunder magic is one hundred, then illusion magic is two. Hundred… "
"But it still failed in the end. Is that apprentice now a proud student of the man in yellow, a strong candidate for the next sage?"
Joshua probably guessed what happened next.
"Since then, I have not found a suitable successor, even though there are indeed very few spellcasters in Nolan who are learning the magic of the illusion system, but they all regard it as an accessory, and even less are the main inscription training. It's pitiful." The man in purple looked at Ciri who was standing behind Qiao Xiu.
"I also mentioned this to your mother six years ago, but your mother refused, and you left Nolan without a trace after that."
"Uh... It must be the inscriptions of the illusion system that I thought at the beginning... Can't be used for fighting, the magic of the spiritual system... is too brain-intensive, it is not as simple and quick as the inscription of order, a mage can beat those people down. ." Ciri explained her thoughts as a child.
"What about now?" The purple-robed man asked.
Ciri was about to refuse the question from the man in purple, but Joshua gently shook Ciri's hand and told her not to answer in such a hurry.
"Miss Mellors, I'm curious about what, or to what extent, the magic of illusions and psychic systems can do."
Joshua thought of a terrifying possibility when she mentioned visions.
"Everything you can imagine can be created, of course it's false." The purple-clothed man smiled, she had thoroughly understood the relationship between Joshua and Ciri, and all of Ciri's choices were based on Qiao subject to the agreement.
So she first tried to find a way to satisfy Joshua.
"Can Miss Melossel create an orc out of thin air?"
Qiao Xiu said the first request, and the lavender inscription flashed in the hands of the purple clothed man, and the inscription instantly formed a green-skinned orc nearly two meters high.
He was wrapped in animal skin, holding a blood-stained spear in his hand, and there was a hideous scar on his cheek.
Although Qiao Xiu knew that the orc in front of him was an illusion, it was so real that it was terrifying. Even the details of the fur were completely restored, and even his every move was vivid.
It seemed that there was really an orc who had just returned from hunting in the grasslands standing in front of Qiao Xiu.
"This is a prairie orc I once killed." The man in purple told the origin of the orc. "I can restore these things I have seen as much as possible according to the appearance in my memory."
Speaking of which, new inscriptions surrounded the purple-robed man, and then Qiao Xiu's ground suddenly began to change, from a marble-paved floor to an endless grassland, and the ceiling above the sky disappeared in an instant, replaced by a building. Orc tribe on the steppe.
Although the grass under Qiao Xiu's feet was blowing gently with the breeze, Qiao Xiu didn't feel the wind blowing.
"This is a field of illusion magic, and it is also a necessary assessment for spellcasters who learn the illusion system to obtain a fifth-level spellcaster certificate."
The purple-robed man showed his abilities to Qiao Xiu to his heart's content. The next second, the black giant dragon fell on the village, ravaging the orc village to ruins.
The scene where the orc was bitten by the dragon and splattered with blood looked so real in Joshua's eyes, including the residues that were burnt out by the flames spewed by the dragon.
"I think I can go find a drink." Ciri whispered to Joshua, but she found that Joshua didn't listen to what she said at all, and just stared at the giant that flew into the sky again. dragon.
It was not the first time that Ciri had seen Joshua so focused. Every time something that excited Joshua appeared, he would be like this.
The first time was when I saw the drawing magic machine developed by her sister Hurland, and Joshua used that magic machine to create the legend of Hearthstone.
And now the reason for Joshua's excitement...
"The magic version of the special effects god?"
Looking at the fighting in front of him, Qiao Xiu was moved to the point where he wanted to hold the hand of the man in purple and say "Congratulations, you were hired by us, five insurances and one housing fund, and the monthly salary will be paid".
Ciri gently tugged at the corner of Qiao Xiu's clothes, which caused Qiao Xiu to be slightly distracted.
"Cough... It's very shocking." Qiao Xiu has completely put away his confrontation with the purple clothed man.
"This is just a part of illusion magic. The magic of the spiritual system can cause sensory and tactile effects, but I don't think you want to be affected by my magic."
The inscriptions around the man in purple disappeared, and Qiao Xiu "returned" to the Nolan National Theater again. The man in purple was very satisfied with Qiao Xiu's focused look just now.
"How about you guys want to try it?" The man in purple opened his mouth again and seduced Joshua and Ciri.
"I have one more question before that."
It's a pity that Joshua was not so easy to deceive.
"what is the problem?"
"Can you make aliens? Predators? Hulk or something."
Qiao Xiu suddenly said a bunch of terms that the purple-clothed man had never heard of.
"What are those? Other names for some monsters?"
The purple-clothed man searched his long-term memory, but did not find any creatures that corresponded to it.
"Those are all creatures in his illusion. It seems that there are King Kong and Godzilla. The front is an ape-like monster, and the back is a relatively powerful lizard." Ciri made it again very thoughtfully. explain.
After hearing Ciri's explanation, the man in purple shook his head regretfully.
"Illusions are based on my knowledge and impression of illusions. I can't create creatures that I haven't seen at all," said the man in purple.
"What if I draw it on a piece of paper? I can describe all the details of these creatures for you!" Joshua continued to ask the sage.
Although the man in purple didn't understand what Qiao Xiu wanted to "create" these monsters, she still nodded slightly.
"Illusions can create anything if they're specific enough," she replied.
