Eldrin's answer made Phileas look at him deeply , and then the old mage shook his head and said, "This is not your real reason. I can see the answer from your eyes. Forget it, this is not my place to interfere. I just want to tell you that this is Deepblue , your Highness's domain. If you encounter anything unpleasant, you can find me or complain directly to your Highness. Deepblue is the world of magicians, and the secular power cannot reach here. If the dispute you encounter involves too much of the outside world, then my suggestion is to inform your father of the news. The power of the Malificus family will make many people wary, and Marquis Gordon has recently begun to work on entering the legendary city of Faust. Being able to gain a foothold in Faust itself represents sufficient comprehensive strength and the power to stand at the top of the secular world."
Eldrin looked away for a long moment before he said, "I don't want to rely on Lord Gordon's power."
Phileas had learned the little secrets from Eldrin's name after years of wisdom, but he was not surprised. People with the surname Malificus were very "individual". Of course, if we look at the continent, there are actually many similar families, such as Saint Peter, Vismar, Agares , Solomon, Julius, etc.
Phileas nodded and said thoughtfully, "In fact, I have one last doubt, that is wisdom. The Art of Killing transcends the limitations of the field and leads you to see the possibility of crossing fields. However, it is not enough to be a genius to integrate all the forty-six basic disciplines involved in Runic Construct . This requires long-term diligence and true wisdom, wisdom, not cleverness. And you, Eldrin, are not the most outstanding in intelligence among Deepblue . I originally thought that you would be able to build your own Runic Construct system when you were fifteen years old, but you did it when you were just over twelve years old. This is still very unreasonable..."
However, Phileas also knew that this was a question without an answer. The fact now was that Eldrin had indeed taken the first step that was crucial for all Artificers. This was reality, it existed, and it was qualified , regardless of whether the reason was sufficient or not.
Phileas, who has studied magic philosophy, knows very well that there must be reasons behind phenomena. If you can't find them, it's not that they don't exist, but that you just can't see them. Norland has too many secrets, and the universe composed of countless planes can never be fully explored. Therefore, it is not absurd even if a bored god suddenly instilled the entire set of Artificer knowledge into little Eldrin.
In fact , Saint Peter, the creator of Celestial Armament, once revealed before his death that most of his inspiration actually came from divine revelation.
Phileas stood up, carefully put away the 'Elementary Agility', and said to Eldrin: "Okay, don't waste time on small problems. No matter what the reason is, your breakthrough this time is largely due to luck. Luck has always been a very important part of strength, and it becomes more and more so as time goes by."
After a pause, Master Phileas said meaningfully, "Eldrin, perhaps you don't know how lucky you are. But this is a semi-open secret and does not need to be kept secret. Now is the time to tell you. Her Highness Isabella has a habit of only retaining one student in each field of magic to officially continue her inheritance. As the most dazzling pearl in the crown of magic, Artificer is even more so."
"So?" Eldrin suddenly understood why he felt hostility from Stevenson and Minnie. And Randolph, who had no relationship with him, even plotted to kill him.
"As far as I know, Stevenson is determined to become an Artificer. But you have already gotten ahead of him, and it is a decisive step. That is why I just told you how to deal with unsolvable disputes in the future. In addition, you need to pay attention to your own safety."
Eldrin understood the meaning of Master Phileas' words , but still found it hard to believe: "But this is Deepblue ."
Master Phileas smiled and said, "No matter how powerful the rules are, they are only used to restrain rational people."
Eldrin lowered his head in thought, then nodded in understanding.
By this time the old mage had packed up his things, and the students he had summoned had also arrived, so he said to Eldrin: "Now follow me, lucky little Eldrin, I will show you the Artificer's ability to create miracles. I believe that after watching it, you will have a deeper understanding of the world of Artificer. Rather than just staying on those half-true deeds and autobiographies."
An hour later, Eldrin and Phileas were already sitting in a magic experiment field outside Deepblue . This was a huge open-air experiment field that could test the power of super-large magic and even legendary spells. It could also be used as a fighting arena to test the power of newly discovered monsters or newly created summoned creatures.
Under Eldrin's watch, a violent Ironclad Steed was placed in the experimental field. The Ironclad Steed is a special beast near Deepblue . It is much taller than ordinary war horses, and its back is covered with a layer of scales as hard as steel. It has an extremely violent temper and cannot be tamed at all. Its powerful iron hooves can crush the skull of a polar ice bear. Its running speed and jumping height are comparable to those of a Mars deer, so it has few natural enemies. The most valuable thing about the Ironclad Steed is that it is stronger than known metals, but as heavy as feather scales, and can be easily enchanted without complicated processing.
In order to prevent the captured beasts from suddenly rioting, one has to go through a long, narrow, dark corridor to enter the site. As soon as Ironclad Steed entered the experimental site, the suddenly wide space in front of him made him pause. This is a huge site with a radius of one kilometer, full of various terrains. After many experiments, the remaining strong magical atmosphere and the old blood of a large number of beasts immediately made Ironclad Steed enter the most alert state.
When Ironclad Steed paused, Eldrin saw that a whole piece of scale armor on Ironclad Steed's chest had been peeled off, and the "Primary Agility" was embedded there. This was certainly not a simple inlay. The animal skin had been specially cut, and it required delicate operation to implant it into the corresponding position on the monster . At this moment, as Ironclad Steed's airflow became heavier, the Runic Construct embedded on its chest gradually glowed, which was a sign that the Runic Construct absorbed Ironclad Steed's magic power and began to work.
Under the stimulation of the strong blood, Ironclad Steed suddenly became completely furious! It stood up, let out a long neigh, then put its four hooves on the ground and began to run like thunder! Judging from its route, it wanted to jump over the obstacles made of two piles of logs in a row, and then forcefully break through the fence of the experimental field to regain freedom.
Just as the Ironclad Steed soared into the air, Runic Construct suddenly emitted a dazzling light! The Ironclad Steed exerted its amazing potential and jumped extremely high. Not only did it jump far over the first obstacle, but it also directly hit the second obstacle! With this jump alone, the straight-line distance was nearly half that of an ordinary Ironclad Steed!
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the heavy logs were scattered everywhere by the Ironclad Steed. A log with a diameter of half a meter was hit the hardest and almost broke in half! The Ironclad Steed was also obviously hit hard, and the world was spinning around. It couldn't find its direction for a while, and began to run around randomly.
The 'Primary Agility' continued to flash, and Ironclad Steed's speed became faster and faster, obviously beyond its own control. It either rushed over, misjudged the jumping distance and hit the fence directly, or jumped too high and too far, so that it lost its balance in mid-air and fell to the ground.
Heavy crashes continued to be heard from the experimental field, broken wood, mud, ice and gravel were flying everywhere, the huge body of Ironclad Steed was almost pulled into a black phantom, rushing back and forth at an incredible speed, and the obstacles set up by humans in the field were constantly being smashed by its body. The solid body, heavy weight, and excessive speed made Ironclad Steed itself a terrible weapon, and the power of the collision alone was already astonishingly great.
Little Eldrin was also stunned when he saw the Ironclad Steed flying back and forth like lightning in the experimental field. He was very familiar with common magical beasts like the Ironclad Steed, but he had never thought that it could reach such a speed. Moreover, he saw the terrifying combat power of the Ironclad Steed after speeding up. It was simply a brand new species!
Is this the power of Artificer?
Little Eldrin suddenly felt his mouth dry. He felt like a baby who had grabbed an iron sword as a toy, only to discover after wielding it that it had the power to destroy the world he saw!
