After pretending to hesitate for a moment, Xia Duo then firmly stated that he wanted to learn, "The shaman of my tribe was killed by the gods. Only by becoming a god can we protect the tribe!"
"God?"
The elf smiled and said, "That is a mage, and the skill you want to learn next is called [Magic]. As long as you are smart enough, you can also become a mage, which is what you call a god."
"Are you willing to teach me?"
"Of course, but now, you'd better eat something quickly. We must leave here as soon as possible. The lackeys of the Elf Court will be here soon."
This time, Xia Duo didn't refuse. He picked up a piece of snack from the tea table and stuffed it into his mouth. After two or three snacks, he was sixty-seven percent full even though he wasn't hungry at all.
When the elf saw that Xia had eaten a little more, he stopped doing anything. He didn't urge her anymore. Instead, he slowly drank the last cup of tea, then stood up from the chair and pointed at the remaining snacks on the tea table to Xia.
Duo said:
"You should put the rest away and keep them for the road. I'm afraid we will have to spend quite a while on the run."
"good."
Xia Duo has long wanted to pack up, but now that the other party proposes it, he will naturally not be polite. If he really has to flee, he may have to rely on these things to fill his stomach.
Of course, there may be some left in the elf's storage space, but if the other party doesn't take it out, Xia Duo won't be able to ask for it. Now that he is playing the role of a Langas, he needs to be more careful.
…
Next, both parties packed up their things. In the process, Sha Duo finally learned the name of this arcane elf. The other party called himself Sullivan. He just didn't know if this was the other party's real name, but at least he had a title.
"Sullivan, where are we going next?"
"Let's go to the south first. The Elf Court's influence there is slightly less, which is enough for us to hide for a while. Alas, you are different from telling you this. You just need to follow me."
"All right!"
Sha Duo secretly rolled his eyes. With his current mental state, he really didn't want to think about these issues. He just wanted to get in touch with magic as soon as possible, then go to Everesca to inquire about the situation, and then return to the main plane immediately after that.
If you are really tortured by exhaustion and become a psychopath, then the gains outweigh the losses.
…
After leaving the place where one person and one elf met, Xia Duo followed Sullivan and teleported seven or eight times in succession, but he did not go directly to the south, but took many detours, as if he wanted to use this to get rid of those who might be behind him.
Chaser.
But Xia Duo had only heard about the so-called pursuer from Sullivan, but had never seen it with his own eyes in reality. After escaping for only half a day, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
However, it seems that Sullivan does not need to deliberately deceive a human being who knows nothing. In addition, considering his status, it is difficult for Xia Duo to directly question the other person.
So, after the last transmission, Xia Duo asked the other party: "When will you teach me magic?"
"You can do it now, but before that you need to learn a new language."
"Is it the language of your elves?"
"Yes, human language is too simple. If I only use this, I don't know how to explain many concepts to you."
"No problem, I'm willing to learn."
"When I teach you the language, I will also popularize some magic. I hope you are smart enough. I don't want the same question to be repeated several times."
For races other than elves, Sullivan's requirements are very harsh, but Sha Duo has long known that in elf society, when traditional elf mages learn magic, they often slowly learn magic by observing the teacher.
It is understood rather than actively taught by the teacher.
Although this is due to the elven magic itself, it is more of a problem with the elves as a race. After the Crown War, the elves' attitude toward knowledge became more conservative.
At the same time, respecting the tradition of elders also requires young elves to obey the arrangements of their elders. If the elders have not said anything, then you'd better not even ask.
Teachers are undoubtedly one of the most important elders.
Elf wizards like Sullivan who take the initiative to impart knowledge to students cannot be said to be extremely rare in elf society, but they are certainly not that common.
This is true even at the apprenticeship stage.
Generally, elf mage apprentices are definitely lucky if they meet such a teacher. Most of them need to follow the teacher and piece together the path to advancement from the few words the teacher leaks every day.
As for the magic academy, it essentially cultivates magic craftsmen, not mages. Unless you perform too well, you may be favored by the mages and accepted as apprentices (vassals), but this is already the best way out for elven civilians.
Judging from Sullivan's performance, Shado is even more curious about the changes in the current elven world. What makes an elf mage teach a human apprentice so patiently?
It certainly can’t be some kind of internationalist sentiment!
Therefore, when Shado was learning the Elvish language from Sullivan, he also inquired about the basic situation of the Elf world, which was in line with his "Harald" character.
In this regard, Sullivan did not show too much resistance. As long as Chateau asked, he would basically say one or two sentences. Occasionally, when he got interested or got angry, he would talk a lot.
In this way, six days after the two sides met, Xia Duo finally had a relatively one-sided understanding of the changes in the elven world of the projection plane——
It all started 1,600 years ago.
Xia Duo translated it, in fact, almost from the year he left this projection plane, the mess he left behind did have a very far-reaching impact.
First of all, the concentration of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll made the repair and control of the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock no longer an unattainable fantasy. Therefore, the countries in the North relied on the Elven Court as a platform to start a larger-scale collection operation.
Of course, all this excludes the Elf Kingdom in the South, and Xia Duo's "contribution" is also included in this. Why did he pretend to be a southern mage in the first place!
As for how the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll in Salvin's treasury was lost and transferred to Jelenstad's hands, Sullivan did not mention it. Perhaps this was just an insignificant thing in the past 1,600 years and has not been recorded in history.
It left enough traces for Sullivan to remember.
In addition to the concentration of Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls which led to a surge in the power of the Elf Court (actually the pure elf version of the Northland Alliance), Shado's more profound influence on this projection plane lies in the Nese magic system he left behind, or
Let’s talk about the arcanist system that matches the arcane elves.
I don’t know what Yinstremus did after he left. In short, in the past 1,600 years, the arcanist system has spread rapidly, and even the arcane elves have been widely recognized by the elven society.
Of course, this is just Sullivan's unilateral description.
