Chapter 546 Secret Talk Between Master and Disciple
Compared to the verbal conflicts between the Erengrad elves, the communication between the master and the apprentice in the Dragon Palace was undoubtedly much more harmonious.
After the War Council, Prince Eltharion of Itain rushed to Caledor with the Wings of Storm, hoping to discuss the necessity of this matter with his teacher Berannar.
He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why Imric asked him to go to the old world and need to pay attention to a bald vampire and green skin, which seemed to have nothing to do with Yris.
But the first time he saw the teacher, he felt something had changed. After all, the way he was still crawling on the desk doing research despite the eyes of two Cathay Iron-Eating Beasts really made people wonder if he was possessed.
"Teacher, teacher." Elsharion took the initiative to greet him and signaled to the palace attendant leading the way that he could leave.
Berannar, who was writing on the parchment with a quill, didn't seem to hear it, or maybe he was immersed in research and was indifferent to the door being opened.
After being reminded and greeted many times by Elsharion, he finally put down his quill, first showed a satisfied smile, and then cooled down.
"My student Elsharion, I taught you before in the White Tower of Hos. Don't interrupt a mage's train of thought easily. Maybe a small mistake will lead to the loss of a rare train of thought."
"Sorry, this is my fault." Although he said this, there was no apology on Elsharion's face. It is not easy to find the Supreme Mage in the White Tower of Hos, because Belan never knows On which floor was Nal in front of which bookshelf, studying something again?
Long-term study has made him accustomed to the simplest method, directly interrupting the teacher's train of thought.
Belannar rubbed his sore eyes, waved the students over, picked up the parchment on the desk and handed it to Elsharion, saying with some pride,
"Look at my latest achievements. As long as this theory can be perfected, Asul's magic can reach a new dimension."
Elsharion picked up the parchment and read it sentence by sentence. The complicated and abstract nouns on it did not stump this talented mage.
Nowadays, all the famous generals in Ulthuan have certain flaws. Imrik does not know magic, Tyrion does not know magic, and he has no dragon companions who can provide magic support. Teclis is good at magic, but his body No, only Elsharion is omnipotent and proficient in magic, martial arts, and tactical command.
After reading it, he thought for a long time and said in disbelief, "Did you analyze the flame magic of the Church of Ardaeus into magic?!"
Belannar slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Yes, this is the result of my research during this period. Although it is only a preliminary theory, a framework has been formed. I named it the Principle of Divine Magic. . Use a brand new underlying theory to explain the relationship between divine arts and magic. According to my expectation, as long as the conversion formula can be used correctly, divine arts can be equated with magic, and the world will look different to us by then. "
This is really a big breakthrough. Elsharion was very surprised. The essence of divine magic is the power given by the gods. The believers pray, and then the gods decide whether to respond based on their attitude.
Perhaps divine magic is not as comprehensive as magic in many cases, but because of the gods' control over the rules, there are many effects that magic cannot achieve.
For example, a siege spell such as the Vaal Hammer may require several archmages to perform siege magic, in order to be comparable to the divine spell prayed by a small religious order.
But this does not seem to mean a good thing. Eltharion expressed doubts about this. When mages can replace priests, I am afraid many things will change.
"Teacher, I'm afraid it will be difficult to publish your research."
Bellannar motioned the students to sit down first and began to discuss the matter slowly, "I know this, but in fact, the work of analyzing the structure of divine arts and magic has been done a long time ago, and the most special one is the Phoenix The king’s crowning fire-avoidance spell.”
Elsharion, who put the parchment back far away, nodded. This matter was indeed not that secret. At least the kingdoms where the Phoenix King was crowned knew about it. There was a Phoenix King in Yris who knew about the fire-avoidance spell.
"The Supreme Master of the White Tower of Hoth actually always has a method of casting fire-avoidance spells in his hands. This is to prevent the priests of the Asuryan Temple from suddenly..." Berannar stopped abruptly when he thought of something, shook his head helplessly, and thought I talked a little too much.
No Phoenix King wants his fate to be in the hands of the priests. He must find a countervailing force, so the White Tower of Hos, who is accustomed to being neutral, becomes the scapegoat to ensure that the coronation ceremony can still go smoothly even if it lacks the support of the priests.
"Think of this as the nonsense of an elderly man. With the current situation in Ulthuan, you will definitely be out of reach of the Phoenix King's position."
Eltharion expressed his understanding that if nothing else happens, the most powerful candidate for the next Phoenix King will definitely be Imrik. As long as Fenubar dies, even if the Dragon Prince does not want to take this position, he will be taken up by the Dragon Princes. .
"That's back to the principles of divine magic. I'm also very interested in this theory."
"The origin of this matter is a bit complicated. Imrik talked to me about whether he knew about the analysis of divine magic. As a scholar, I seriously spread the relevant knowledge to him, and he gave me a very difficult question. My mission is to analyze the Platinum Phoenix Holy Flame. And the piece of paper you just saw is the research data he gave me, which comes from the Church of Ardaeus."
Analyze the Platinum Phoenix Holy Flame? Eltharion was shocked by the news. He thought that Imric might want to allow the wizard to use the Anvil of Vaal more smoothly, so as to free up productivity and allow all the priests to enter the blacksmith shop.
But the nature of the platinum phoenix holy flame has changed greatly. If the Asuryan holy flame, which symbolizes the ruler of the heavenly system, is analyzed, it may be just a matter of saying that he wants to be the Phoenix King.
"Did you agree to this without any concerns?"
"No, but after some exchanges with the Supreme Mage, I still agreed to this matter." There was something strange in Berannar's eyes. After the ambiguous exchange with Teclis, he also noticed Something wasn't right about what happened in ancient times.
If it is true as stated in a certain secret book, the description of Aenarion, all the suffering and torture is just for Assur to welcome the real Phoenix King, a guardian who is willing to protect Ulthuan with his life, is this This passage can be used as a prophecy for the second son.
"Back to this matter, I don't want to think too much about the political factors. Now I am just a professor in the advanced department at the Magic Academy. Since the largest sponsor has provided the project, I will naturally not refuse it, and I also Very interested in this project.”
Elsarion remained silent. He did not think that the teacher was just reminiscing about old times when he said these words. He must have other purposes.
As expected, Berannar showed a mysterious smile, "As my proud disciple, your attainments in magic have surpassed many people, but you are still far from reaching the upper limit of your talent. Your status as a future prince makes it difficult for you to have time to focus on magic. Research magic, but if this theory can be perfected, I believe that even Teclis will be inferior to you in some aspects. Are you interested in studying with me, just like before?"
