In the past two years of game history, Roland spent most of his time either doing magic experiments or reading books.
Magic books are naturally the focus.
And a lot of common sense can be learned from books.
For example, regarding Duncan (Mordenkainen)'s status in the magical world.
Compared with the secular world, the magical world still has some historical records. After all, they are all intellectuals, and some people still have a sense of inheritance.
Moreover, some magics are named after their inventors.
Mordenkainen invented at least about one-third of the magic known today, all of which are very practical. It can be said that to become a magician above the elite level, you must have learned at least one of the spells he invented.
For example... Magic Hands.
Or, magic shield.
And more than half of the high-level magic was invented by him.
A magician can never avoid him from the beginning to his death.
Mordenkainen.
The reason why Mythra, the goddess of magic, became a god is because she stood on the shoulders of giants.
This giant is still Mordenkainen.
Inventing numerous magics only proves his extraordinary talent.
What really makes him the most prestigious person in the magic world, even surpassing the goddess of magic, is that he created the most important path in the magic world... or rather, the system.
Spell model.
Before the advent of spell models, the number of mages was only about one-tenth of what it is now.
In that era, magicians were a rare breed, and... very weak.
Compared to Warlocks, they are too weak.
It cannot be compared with a priest.
At that time, the three giants of spellcasters were warlocks, priests, and elven druids.
It was Mordenkainen who invented simple and easy-to-use magics, which gave magicians a foundation to establish themselves.
Then high-level magics were invented one after another, giving magicians strong combat effectiveness.
Finally, the spell model system was created, which increased the number of magicians as a profession.
After Mordenkainen, many amazing characters appeared, such as Malfoy, Bigby, Mythra and so on.
But they all followed the spell model system created by Mordenkainen.
In essence, they are all disciples and students of Mordenkainen.
Roland is the same.
That's why Roland lost his temper after hearing Mordenkainen's name.
There was a legendary figure in front of him, and almost everything he learned was his legacy. How could Roland not be surprised by this.
After the surprise, Roland sat down again and calmed down.
As a magician, it is necessary to control your emotions.
"Young people should not be too mature. They should laugh when they should laugh and be surprised when they should be surprised. Otherwise, they will develop the character of an elderly person at such a young age. How boring it would be." Modori Ken took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Roland thought for a moment and said, "But wouldn't emotional fluctuations affect the accuracy of spell casting?"
"That's true." Mordenkainen nodded and said, "That's why you have to conquer this weakness, because you can't keep a calm mind forever, not to mention the trivial matters in life, your enemies may also take advantage of some special abilities. Magic comes to disturb your emotions. When you cannot maintain a calm mood, the so-called calm mind casting becomes a weakness. Therefore, it is better to cast spells perfectly in any mood without any restrictions. This is the most important thing. Yes. This is my experience as an old man."
Roland thought for a while and asked, "How old are you, old man?"
"Five hundred and seventy-two."
hiss! Roland took a deep breath.
He had known that magicians have a long lifespan due to their very high soul strength.
But it is indeed an exaggeration to live for more than 500 years.
An old man over five hundred years old is still a pioneer in the magic world. His experience is definitely of reference value.
And after living for 572 years, judging from the old man's mental state, he is indeed about to die.
His old body was beginning to fail to support his mental strength.
"Old man, have you ever considered transforming into a lich?" Roland asked.
Mordenkainen shook his head and said: "I have considered it. After all, in the eyes of us magicians, the body is not important, the spirit and soul are eternal. But the problem is that my spirit has reached the edge of collapse and I can no longer transform into a lich. .”
The things these two magicians talked about would scare people to death outside.
The lich is an extremely terrifying symbol in the world.
But for magicians, especially pragmatic magicians, lichs are just a form of life.
Like the Holy Spirit.
We are all undead creatures, they just have different names, but the nature of the energy they use has changed.
As long as you don't kill people, don't absorb other people's souls, and hold on to your own heart, what's the difference between a lich and an ordinary spellcaster
"Then why did the old man bring us future people here this time?"
"This city is about to be destroyed, or in other words, the entire Ancestor Kingdom is in danger of destruction." Mordenkainen said worriedly: "But I am too old and can no longer save this kingdom, so... I made a wish, Find someone who can help me and save this country."
Roland raised his eyebrows: "So, when you saw me using the Fireball Technique, you were not surprised because of the power of the Fireball Technique, but you were excited because you saw a new magic concept and knew that I was from the future? "
Ha ha ha ha!
Mordenkainen laughed: "When I was young, I could even summon a large meteorite spell at will. One hit would destroy a city. Of course I didn't notice a big fireball spell. I did see your magic theory. It's very different, that's why I'm happy. And the language proficiency in you is also quite interesting."
Mordenkainen spoke, flicked his fingers, and added 'unhindered communication' to himself.
This is Roland's 'innovative' magic, and he knows its magic fluctuations best.
And Mordenkainen released it casually, which means that in less than half an hour, Mordenkainen had completely analyzed his spell and copied it.
This strength is too powerful.
Comparing myself with him, I'm far behind.
However, Roland later calmed down. The other party was a big boss in the magic world. Due to the era, there were very few people who could communicate with him. Due to the limitation of the magic level of the entire era, his ideas were not as good as those of his place. In this era, once Mordenkainen is exposed to modern magical concepts, his magical heritage and concepts will definitely be able to make further progress.
At this time, Lamia came in from outside and placed some exquisite pastries on the table.
Roland thought for a while and asked: "According to the nature of the wishing spell, you can pull us over. In other words, we are the people who can help you save this country. But as far as I know, in my time, Zu Ze The kingdom has been destroyed for more than a thousand years.”
Lamia was on the side at this time. When she heard this, she glared at Roland.
Mordenkainen, however, had a dull expression. He sipped his tea and said, "There is no eternal thing in this world. Even gods have their lifespans end. I have already seen three gods fall for various reasons. What's more, The country of mankind.”
"and you?"
Mordenkainen continued: "But my prophecy tells me that as long as it survives this crisis, the Zuze Dynasty will have at least three hundred years of life. It will be enough for Lamia to live to old age."
Lamia sat aside and heard the words: "Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me. Even if the Zuze Kingdom is gone, I can still survive. My sword is very strong."
"But it's always more comfortable to live in a peaceful country than in a chaotic country, right?"
Lamia opened her mouth and closed it again.
Roland subconsciously held his chin in his hands and pondered. After a while, he said: "Old man, I don't understand. Even though your mental power has declined greatly now, you are definitely stronger than me, and you are very powerful here. How can outsiders like us, who are powerless and powerless, do what you can’t do?”
Mordenkainen chuckled: "There is no way that there will be any problem with my wishing spell, or it will not be activated. As long as it is activated, it will be effective. If you think about it carefully, where can you help our country?"
After thinking about it, Roland didn't think there was anything he could do to help.
He is not the kind of hot-blooded young brave man who will happily rush forward when someone has arranged his fate.
Or act immediately to save this country.
Seeing Roland deep in thought, Mordenkainen was not in a hurry. He sat quietly, drinking tea, and waited for Roland to think slowly.
And Roland thought about it and calculated it over and over again, but he still didn't think that he, these people, had the ability to save a country.
"Excuse me for asking." Roland raised his head: "What trouble has this country encountered?"
"The goddess of light has changed. She is still a baby now." Mordenkainen said with a slight smile: "The previous goddess was reincarnated, so... The Zuze Kingdom is a country established under the divine grace of the goddess of light. If it cannot continue to receive the goddess's favor, The country will fall apart."
It turns out that the goddess can also be reincarnated. Roland smiled. His mission was also a clue provided by the goddess of light... Wait!
Roland suddenly thought of something.
Dinah's mission is related to the goddess of light, and the safety of the Zuze Kingdom is also related to the goddess of light.
Everything seemed very natural, but Roland still felt something strange. The most important thing was that he also encountered something quite strange.
The Great Wish Spell... The Spell of Cause and Effect.
With all of this connected, he understood the key points of the mission.
Taking out the petals of the world tree from the system backpack, the lavender colored glaze flower was on the table, shining slightly with a beautiful luster.
Lamya opened her eyes.
"The complete World Tree flower." Mordenkainen chuckled: "It seems that your mission is to bring this flower to me."
Roland was in a very uncomfortable mood, even a little anxious. This task does not require fighting or thinking at all, just follow the process.
To put it bluntly...he was arranged by the Great Wish Technique.
From the moment Beta received the mission, he was affected by the causal magic of the 'Great Wish Technique'.
Everything that happened after that was for him to bring this World Tree Flower to Mordenkainen.
This feeling of being led around by someone's nose ring made Roland quite unhappy.
He rubbed his face and asked: "Old man, is there any way to counter the cause-and-effect spell like the Great Wishing Technique?"
"Want to learn? I'll teach you."
