"I want to meet the puppeteer who manipulates butterflies and giants."
Lu Yu and Lulu unanimously moved Sera in front of them.
Doleka was surprised for a moment, and her hands suddenly started to tremble awkwardly, like a child who longed for an adult to fulfill her wish, hoping, but timidly.
"You...how far away are you from realizing the change of spirit body?"
In an instant, all three of them realized that the legion commander not only made the choice to change his spirit body because of Lu Yu's "eternal life" threat, but it was also the key to her wavering.
Seeing Sera stunned and speechless, Doleka asked again: "Could it be that you are a self-reformer among puppet masters?"
Seeing that Doleka was really eager for this, instead of stalling for time by throwing out an unanswerable request, Sera replied: "The environment is suitable and the conditions are met...it's not easy, but the spirit body change is in my hands."
,can be realised."
The smile on Doleka's face has not yet spread, and the corners of her mouth are raised with a look of self-deprecation.
"The Morning Lord's courage in confronting Oroun is admirable. Even as an opponent, I have to bow my head and admit your excellence... You shouldn't lie to me about this kind of thing."
"You think I don't have the power?"
"If you had, the Gluttonians would not be furious because of the casualties of the Dawn people, and the power you possess will surely bring them back to life."
Lulu quietly grabbed Lu Yu's hand.
Lu Yu broke away calmly, put his hand on her cheek, and stroked her gently.
He said: "Don't worry, I'm not that impulsive."
Sera stood up disdainfully, squinting at Doreka.
"How much do you know about the puppet technique, and how much do you know about the spirit manipulation technique? Have you ever practiced it? Do you know it very well?"
Doleka was stunned by several questions in a row. The pride of being the leader of the legion made her naturally want to struggle for something, but when she heard Sera's next words, she was only left with embarrassment.
"You don't want to tell me that your understanding is limited to communicating with your puppet masters in Oroun, and you have never started it yourself, right?"
Sierra pressed the button on the only decoration on the empty round table, whispered to Xinlu who came in, and then turned around again.
"Don't talk. I don't communicate with laymen. All I can tell you is that body-changing is not a secret method of resurrecting the dead. To bring the dead back to life is not as difficult as you think, if you master the knowledge,
I can even say that even if all the knowledge I have is released, the whole of Mela, and even Oraun, will only be able to master very little."
Although most magicians claim to be unable to acquire higher-level magic due to their limited magic base, the real limitation may not be the environment or the difficulty of acquiring knowledge, but... understanding.
As you advance up a level, the information density required to match the magic knowledge that can be used by the level's magic power will rise in a stepwise manner.
Initially, as long as the literate people follow the reading and practice the application, they can basically master it. The rest only depends on proficiency and personal talent.
As the level increases, knowledge will eventually reach a critical point where some people can understand it at a glance, some people can roughly understand it, and some people can only understand the words after opening it.
At this time, even if the knowledge of the ninth level or even beyond the ninth level is placed in front of low-level magicians, they will not be able to understand it.
Fagutar, who was summoned, performed a heart-breaking performance for Doleka on the spot, as well as the wonder of the half-dragon Siren Tail. This magical operation that only a doll can do made Doreka completely believe in Sera's words.
She swallowed and finally spoke out her complete request.
"I want to get a new body."
"Disfigured because of burns?" Sierra asked.
"No...just because changing the spirit body allows me to choose to start over."
After saying these words, Doleka was relieved. She looked down at her clenched hands on her thighs, staring at the scars that were extremely ugly due to burning, and she was filled with thoughts.
"If you can provide us with all the information we need, I can make an attempt for you. But let's agree in advance that there are risks in the ceremony, and whether it can succeed or not is not entirely up to you." Sera truthfully informed the risk.
Doleka's heart, which had always been on guard, was touched by Sera's frankness.
"Before I answer your questions, I would like to tell you a story first, a story that may answer most of your questions about the Oroen people."
She raised her head...and pondered for a moment.
"Many, many years ago, Oroun, like Meira, was also a continent rich in magical power... No, Oroun was far bigger than Meira..."
The recorded history of Oroun can be traced back to the birth of magic, which is also the initial year when magic changed the world.
The dragon's outstretched wings covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Thousands of creatures listened to their roar and prostrated on the ground, witnessing that they commanded unprecedented power and easily brought destruction to all things.
Behind their proud figures, slimes, sirens, and elemental beings were infiltrated by magic and born one after another.
They have been blessed by magic since they were born, as if they were blessed by the world, while other races can only survive and change in a drastically changing world, trying to obtain the increasingly ubiquitous "magic" and the benefits obtained by using it rationally.
"magic".
The remaining classics record the earliest human race in the Oron continent, who gradually learned magic and became a magician by depicting the spellcasting scenes of intelligent races who mastered magic.
Compared to the vast majority of short inheritances, or continents whose civilizational connection has been interrupted by the shuffling of magic power again and again, Oroen, which retains a classic chronicle of the initial magic power, is undoubtedly an ancient continent.
The orderly inheritance of knowledge allowed the Oroen race to rise rapidly in the early years of magic. While races in other corners of the world were still trying to figure out how to get started with magic, they were already thinking about building an efficient governance system that would be suitable for the age of magic.
During the nearly thousand years from the Initial Era to the Dragon's Reign, which was named the First Era of the Dragon by Oraun, all the Oraun clans advanced together and explored the limits of magical knowledge in that era.
Moreover, it was also during this time that the wealthy Oroun regarded himself as a revealer and pioneer, building ocean-going ships, trying to explore and understand this world that was undergoing drastic changes, and bring knowledge to other wisdoms that were still faltering and groping.
Creatures.
Not asking for anything in return, just hoping to go further and learn more... As if shouldering some kind of glorious responsibility, people who ventured out to sea from Oroun in that era were always proud and proud.
Everything is so prosperous.
Even though the subsequent magic wave destroyed a large number of classics, the unbroken civilization still described some stories in the form of oral transmission that may be distorted, but did exist...warm, positive stories.
Until, the arrival of the second dragon year.
The sky changed color, the mountains overturned, and the earth shattered... The drastic changes in the world brought about by the magic tide caused countless islands to sink into the sea overnight, and a large number of continents were shattered.
The magic tide of the Second Dragon Anniversary destroyed most of Oraun's inheritance, and many races disappeared. However, Oraun did not become a wisp of dust under the magic power tide and disappeared into the long river of history.
Although the natural disasters that occurred on this continent left the creatures and the land here scarred, they endured tenaciously and became the lucky ones who could enjoy more abundant magic.
"It's like escaping the sieve through which the gods filter out the living beings..." Speaking of this, Doleka couldn't help but sigh.
The suffering of the Second Dragon Chronicle has not yet passed, and the remaining classics record that the natural disasters caused by this magic wave lasted intermittently for more than a hundred years.
Like a volcano that has erupted and is still highly active, people are not only afraid of the devastating power it may bring at any time, but also look forward to turning the land covered in volcanic ash into unprecedentedly fertile land.
There is only a thin line between the fear of destruction and the beautiful hope.
The various tribes of Oroun continue to break through the boundaries of knowledge that were difficult to expand under the original magic bottleneck, rushing into the unexplored wilderness, greedily enjoying the miracles that this magic wave brings to everyone.
Under the volcanic ash that covered the earth and enriched the land, a man discovered a brand-new knowledge...
A power similar to that of Oroun, but completely different from the use of magic power known in the past.
"Suppress the demon...?"
At some point, Yucao also came to the magic-forbidden room with the armor she had pulled off Doleka before.
Doleka nodded slightly: "It is like the opposite of magic, but it is slightly different from the natural forbidden magic material. The effect is similar to suppressing magic, like water and fire..."
"Mutual growth and mutual restraint?" Doleka asked and answered, "It's hard to talk about it. In most cases, demon suppression has extremely significant effects on magic-building rituals and products, such as summons, dolls, and fixed-point ritual magic. In front of it,
They are all weak. With the same magic power, it can always gain the upper hand."
It is not just a power that simply interferes with the flow of magic and the process of casting spells, but is similar to magic and can construct magic and establish a new school of knowledge.
"The special wind magic you used when tracking the butterfly that night, and the sudden acceleration when escaping, are all..." Lu Yu thought about it.
"That is the magic constructed by suppressing the magic power. In terms of effect... it is not much different from the elemental magic you use. However, it can suppress the magic power and restrain the magician."
Sera turned back and exchanged glances with Coryca, confirming that what Doleka said was true.
Yucao had already seen from the lines inside the armor that it was driven by a different kind of magic power, but in line with the rigorous craftsman style, she was always looking for ways to verify her speculations. Now Doleka's words basically made her think clearly.
"Kaitas Tephis Demon Slayer."
Doleka whispered a name.
"Is this the person who discovered the demon-suppressing system?" Lulu was fascinated by the story of Oroen, a distant continent, and she couldn't help but ask.
Doleka nodded.
Ketas Tephis comes from a family of magicians. His grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters each have outstanding achievements in alchemy, potions, magic circle carving, and doll making.
In that era when Oraun did not have a supreme ruler and was divided into separate kingdoms like Mera, Kaitas' family was able to travel through most of Oraun by name and enjoy high-level courtesy.
However, in this family environment where everyone is outstanding, Ketas appears to be extremely mediocre. No matter how he compares with his peers in the family, he is at a disadvantage.
Even if his knowledge reserve, combat experience, and magic skills are considered to be top-notch among all the forces in Oroun... However, the reluctant evaluation of "top-notch" is enough to sting this young master of a prominent family.
Climbing the peak, his brothers and sisters only leave their backs.
I want to escape, but I am afraid of making others laugh because of my family name.
"I can't go up, I can't come down, I'm stuck there," Lu Yu said.
"That's exactly it... Therefore, after accidentally realizing the power of suppressing demons in the magic wave, he began to pursue it without sparing any effort. Knowing that it would be difficult to catch up with others in the family, he devoted all his energy to it...
Finally, at the end of the Second Dragon Age, when the third magic wave was about to come, as a mixed-blood dark elf, after killing countless brothers and sisters, he appeared in many high places in Erauen with the Demon Suppressor.
In front of a high-level magician."
In that era when the fourth and fifth levels were the highest, as a fourth-level man with a natural disadvantage in magic power, he even defeated the fifth-level magician Keoruan.
The heir whom the magic family devoted all their efforts to cultivate was vulnerable to a single blow.
It is difficult for an experienced and established leader of a force to win over others.
The magical genius who had won many battles and was gifted by nature had a battle with him and created inner demons, and he has been languishing ever since.
…
…
Battle after battle, confrontation after confrontation, Kaitas swept through Oroun's famous "high-level magicians" at the fourth level without any defeat.
Many of them challenged themselves to fight again after resting and were defeated again.
Fight again, lose again.
Regardless of race, age, or experience, Kaitas overwhelmed Oraun in the shortest time, and its ability to suppress demons that made it difficult for opponents to use magic added "Demon Slayer" to his name.
title.
The magicians from top to bottom in Oroun went crazy. After witnessing Ketas's unreasonable magic to suppress magic and personally experiencing the fact that normal magic was powerless in front of him, countless magicians tried their best to use it in various ways.
Ask for advice, or study on your own.
Ketas, who had been depressed for many years, finally completed his self-proof in front of the public and became the veritable number one in Oruan.
And the magicians of Oroun, under the storm brought by Kaitas, walked towards the "broad road" shown by it.
If the story ended abruptly... Doleka, who has entered the sixth era of magic tide, may read the legend of Kaitas in the Oron continent, lament his glorious deeds, and yearn for it.
She would imagine what kind of magical continent there is in the distance of the silent and boundless sea of Oroen, and then on the road to becoming a magician, she would make a happy choice between magic power and demon suppression.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Neither Caitas nor the Oroans know that all the gifts given by fate have already been marked with a secret price.
What Ketas brought was not only the knowledge of suppressing demons, but also the...curse that continues to this day and is difficult to remove.
"No matter what race they are...the lifespan of newborns is getting shorter and shorter." Doreka said, "People in Oroen are gradually unable to live under magic."
Suddenly, I have a guest at home, and I don’t know if I can update it at night.
