Chapter 103 Origin Magic
Near the giant corpse that the golden tree had transformed into.
The shattered fragments of the tortoise-shell pot, which had been thrown out as props during the battle and were now scattered all over the ground, suddenly began to slowly wriggle on the ground as if they were alive and conscious.
The fragments seemed to be magnetically attracted to each other, gradually coming together and piecing themselves back together.
Before long, they gradually turned back into complete, intact cracked pots.
Before this, Xia Tong had a total of 3 cracked pots.
One of them was taken from the nearby forest cave.
Another one was the sleeping pot that Karel gave him; after it was used, it became an empty, cracked pot.
Secondly, I bought one from the wandering merchant in front of the city wall of Moen.
The remaining three were what I asked Lord Edgar of Moen City for yesterday.
He originally just wanted to give it a try.
After all, as the lord of a city, Edgar had a wealth of adventure experience in his early years and might have such an item in his possession.
Surprisingly, there really were some, and Edgar was very generous, giving Xia Tong three at once.
Of course, he didn't take a single penny from Xia Tong.
Xia Tong readily accepted, enjoyed a delicious dinner, and then left.
Xia Tong was puzzled when she first used the Sleep Pot before the level.
Why can this thing automatically retract?
It was smashed to pieces, but after a while it actually came back to life?
After consulting with Lord Edgar of Moen City yesterday and combining his understanding of Hu Village, Xia Tong gradually formed his own ideas.
The so-called cracked pot is actually a low-level, incompletely evolved pot-like creature.
For example, Alexander the Jar Warrior was actually made from special living clay, filled with the flesh and blood of warriors, and given life.
These cracked pots are actually the juvenile or primitive species of pot-shaped organisms in the village that have not yet grown limbs and are still in their original state.
Although it has no wisdom, no hands or feet, and cannot speak.
However, they possess the "fitting" characteristic unique to jarozoans.
In other words, as long as the core remains intact after the clay breaks, it will automatically mend itself.
The reason why the pot warriors have wisdom and personality is because their bodies are not filled with gunpowder or grease.
Rather, it is the corpses, memories, and souls of countless dead warriors.
The souls within him, bound by the sacred clay, formed a unified consciousness, giving life to the pot.
Once the pot is completely broken beyond repair, these bound souls will overflow and dissipate.
The soul is lost; all that's left is a pile of lifeless, broken clay.
One of the most significant distinguishing features is:
The spout of the pot warrior's pot has a red sealing wax.
However, cracked pots do not have this feature; they are merely containers for the mouth.
In this battle, a total of six cracked jars were used, which was all of Xia Tong's current inventory.
He carefully collected all the automatically repaired cracked pots.
Then activate the blessing next to it and store it in the blessing space for use in crafting props next time.
"When I used to go camping, the most annoying thing was finding firewood."
Xia Tong looked at the golden tree, which resembled a small mountain, now turned into a corpse, her eyes gleaming with green light: "I'm so satisfied with this huge piece of firewood."
This is Xia Tong's bold idea.
Use the golden tree as firewood!
That's too extravagant, and too awesome.
Moreover, Xia Tong had a vague feeling that the incarnation of the Golden Tree, as a sacred plant, would be extremely heat-resistant.
It may even possess some strange property that allows it to repel surrounding wild animals and filth when it is burning.
He then stopped wasting time.
With the help of the headless knight Ruthel and the lost knight Ingwell.
The three of them spent an entire afternoon, several hours in total.
Finally, they transformed the enormous, iron-hard golden tree before them into eight hundred pieces, splitting it into small, easily combustible, and portable blocks.
In the process of chopping down the golden tree to become a being.
Xia Tong finally found the two precious dewdrops she wanted in its intricate core.
One is a surge of red crystalline dewdrops.
One is a pearl-like dew droplet.
The Crimson Crystal Dewdrop can continuously restore health. Although the health restoration speed is not as fast as the Crimson Dewdrop Holy Grail Bottle, it has the advantage of being long-lasting, making it suitable for prolonged battles.
Pearl-shaped dewdrops, on the other hand, are a complete life-saving miracle.
It can generate a shield that can block one instance of damage.
It is so important, so very important.
With Melina's help, Xia Tong then adjusted the composition of the dew drops in the Holy Grail Bottle.
It has been replaced with large piercing dewdrops and pearl-like bubble dewdrops.
Because Xia Tong now meets the attribute requirements for using the Hound's Teeth skill.
Xia Tong is determined to make good use of this divine weapon that comes with its own bleeding effect and excellent combat skills.
The Great Piercing Dewdrop can significantly increase the damage of charged attacks, and when combined with Hound's Fang, the damage is explosive.
As for the pearly dewdrops, those are even more important!
Not to mention that Xia Tong is now determined to pursue the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
Sometimes, in intense close combat, it is necessary to cast spells or charge up combat techniques.
With the shield provided by a pearl-like dewdrop, his fault tolerance and safety will be greatly improved.
Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts!
Xia Tong desperately wanted to take this path!
We won't go into the ordinary Kalia Knights.
The Royal Guard Knight Loretta is a prime example of someone who excels in both magic and martial arts.
And then there's Vic, the "Knight of the Round Table" who almost became King of Elden.
Not only does it wield a spear for melee attacks, but it also uses powerful ancient dragon lightning for prayer.
Not to mention the famous "Shattered Star" Rataen, who is the pinnacle of both magic and martial arts.
His gravity magic was superb, and his two large cleavers were unmatched.
Even the hunter of the dead, D, whom I met not long ago, was a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts.
With the Golden Law Prayer in one hand and Li Sheng's Greatsword in the other, he's quite a formidable figure.
After transferring all the golden trees, which had been transformed into timber, into the Blessing Space, Xia Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If I have the chance to camp near Cifu in the future, I can use the golden tree as firewood.
This can be considered making the best use of resources, and it can also be considered to have died a worthy death.
With the abundant runes bestowed by the incarnation of the Golden Tree.
Xia Tong immediately went back to the reclusive merchant's shabby little house and bought the two remaining stone sword keys without hesitation.
Only then did he leave, completely satisfied.
The ruins of Yizhan Street.
Xia Tong slowly emerged from the light of the blessing point.
He then straightened his armor and headed towards the underground chamber where Teacher Seren was.
There, Mr. Seren was gracefully reading and calculating.
However, she still wore that heavy pyroxene mask.
Thanks to the bouquet of flowers Xia Tong had given her earlier, the small, shabby basement room was now filled with a faint floral fragrance, in addition to the musty smell of books and dust, making it a pleasant and refreshing place.
"Did you get it?"
Teacher Seren's voice was somewhat ethereal: "I can no longer feel the presence of my body."
"Got it."
Xia Tong said slowly.
He then pulled out a specially made velvet cloth from his pocket, which was stained with some dark red blood.
Xia Tong slowly unfolded the soft cloth until it revealed the deep blue gem that emitted a strange light.
Source pyroxene.
The moment he saw the Source Stone, Seren's elegant and composed movements froze.
Although her expression was hidden by the mask, Xia Tong could sense that her originally calm aura had become disordered.
She stretched out her long, slender hand, as white as a scallion, but stopped just before her fingertips touched the Source Stone.
"Ah, my apprentice."
"You really—brought it back."
"You must have had a long journey."
Seren's voice trembled slightly.
"You should keep this safe."
"Please accept my Source Stone."
As she spoke, Teacher Se-ryeon turned to look at the ceiling.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the thick layer of soil, looking towards the distant starry sky.
"If one day, the sealed stars begin to fall and revolve again."
"At that time, my destiny will begin to turn."
"I might be hunted down, I might die."
"So before this happens, I want to entrust it to you for safekeeping."
Please.
"OK."
Xia Tong nodded solemnly.
He wrapped Teacher Selian's Yuanhui Stone in soft cloth again and put it into the pocket of his inner garment.
He will save this thing in the Blessing Space later.
"well----"
"The Radiant Stone Mages regard me as a heretic."
"The royal family of Kalia considers me a traitor."
"Only you—"
Seren seemed to choke up a little.
She seemed unable to say anything too sentimental.
After a long pause, she slowly said, "Thank you—Xia Tong."
Xia Tong suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head.
"Teacher, please call me Tong'er from now on."
"Tong'er?"
Seren paused for a moment: "What kind of address is that? It sounds—a little strange."
"Okay, then I'll call you Tong'er from now on."
Xia Tong chuckled.
The reason why the teacher had to call him Tong'er was because it reminded me of the story of The Return of the Condor Heroes, where Xiaolongnu called Yang Guo "Guo'er".
So, the abbreviation that Teacher Selian uses for Xia Tong can naturally also be Tong'er.
This is a kind of intimacy that belongs only between a master and his apprentice.
"Teacher, what should I do to give you a truly free body?"
Xia Tong asked.
"That's enough, let's stop here."
Seren shook his head: "What follows will involve the darkest secrets of the Kalia royal family, and the taboos of the Full Moon Queen."
"Those powers—you cannot yet touch them."
She pointed to Xia Tong's damaged armor and some wounds that had not yet fully healed.
"My disciple, look at yourself."
"You've been battered and bruised all over trying to get this."
"but----"
Seren changed the subject: "If you really want to help me with something."
"Keep an eye out for news about Master Luther and Master Yazler during your journey."
"Who is that?"
Xia Tong pretended not to know.
"I mentioned before that I was expelled from the Realucaria Academy, remember?"
Seeing Xia Tong nod, Teacher Seren continued, "The reason behind this is because I want to revive the origins of the Shining Stone magic."
"It's not that kind of knowledge that's manipulated by the Kalia royal family, has lost its core, and only knows how to flaunt astrology."
"What I seek is the Origin Gem Magic, unrestricted and imbued with a pure spirit of exploration—"
"I am willing to sacrifice everything to achieve this goal."
"My disciple, I don't force you to understand."
"Even if they eventually part ways, it is a common fate between master and disciple."
"Given this, I would like to ask you a serious question:"
"Would you be willing to contribute to the revival of the origins of the Radiant Stone magic?"
"—Are you willing to work together with me?"
"certainly!"
Xia Tong answered without hesitation, "Teacher, you're already willing to entrust the Source Stone to me for safekeeping."
"What else could I possibly be unwilling to do?"
"Thank you, Xia Tong'er."
Seeing Xia Tong's determined look, Se Lian couldn't help but smile.
She continued, "It's been a long time since I've met someone who shares my interests."
"It must be because of my excellent teaching."
After saying that, a soft "hehehe" laugh came from under Teacher Seol-ryeon's mask.
This was the first time Xia Tong had heard her laugh so happily and relaxed since they met.
