Li Wen got straight to the point, "I feel that the recent magic elements are a little abnormal. I thought that your great druids are good at this, so I specially wanted to come and ask."
Collins' eyes lit up.
"It turns out that Master Li Wen also discovered the abnormal disturbance of the elements. Several of our great druids have been worried about this problem for a long time, but they have never had a clue. Now that Master Li Wen is also interested in this, it would be great.
I will take you to meet them right now."
In the impression of the world, elves are elegant and slow, like natural aristocrats, and never appear panicked or embarrassed.
However, when things really happen, these elves seem to be more efficient than humans.
There was almost no red tape, and the place where Li Wen and their archdruid met seemed extremely casual.
In a slightly spacious forest clearing without trees, the sunlight from the sky shines unbridled, illuminating a sea of dazzling flowers on the ground, revealing tiny golden specks of light.
And Collins called softly into the ear of a sika deer that was lying on the ground beside the sea of flowers, seemingly taking a nap.
"Lord Mingdatis, Master Li Wen from Sword Wind City is here."
"嘘嘚"
The sika deer's two small ears twitched twice, its moist eyes slowly opened, and Li Wen saw his own reflection in them.
After standing up gracefully on four hooves, in a dazzling white light, the original sika deer disappeared and turned into a strong elf, even a little old.
This was the first time Li Wen saw an elf whose figure was about to develop into a square shape.
Mindatis looked at the only human among the visitors, with a generous smile on his lips, "Are you Master Li Wen?"
"I'm Li Wen."
"Your Carl simulator is a pretty genius invention."
"Excellent..."
"I don't like it very much."
"...?"
Mindatis walked to a tree stump not far away and sat down. At the same time, he patted another tree stump next to him and motioned for Li Wen to come over.
Seeing this, Collins and others who were responsible for leading the way understood instantly.
"Master Li Wen, if we have something to do, we will leave first. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."
After a period of close contact, text messages can be sent to designated familiar persons.
"good."
It seemed that the Archdruid was ready to have a detailed discussion with him, so Li Wen followed the other party's arrangement.
The light footsteps disappeared under the cover of the tree trunks, and Li Wen came to sit next to the great druid.
The two of them sat by the sea of flowers, and the refreshing fragrance penetrated Li Wen's nostrils.
"This is the garden you took care of? It's so beautiful..."
"This is our responsibility, to create beautiful nature. Every flower and grass here is condensed by the power of elements. Without any element, they cannot exist in such a balanced way."
This older Druid looked at the flowers and plants tenderly and spoke word by word.
"So...this is why I just said I don't like your magic."...
"Um?"
Li Wen listened devoutly.
"The spell you created is quite powerful. It can use specific elements in nature on a large scale to form specific spells to attack the enemy. Even such a magical spell is just a trick. This should have been the greatest invention in the magic world, but
...its ability to deeply bind elemental power also makes it difficult for mages who do not have a deep understanding of elemental power to learn this spell. Of course, these are things in your human society and should have nothing to do with us. And this
This kind of progress in the magic world should also be vigorously developed. But..."
The archdruid sighed softly, "Ever since I heard about and learned about your 'Karl Simulator', I have been waiting for a long time to see the day when you continue to perfect your spells, but unfortunately, there is no...
...I know that the advancement of spells is not a one person thing. You were able to develop the 'Karl Simulator'
'The emergence of this epoch-making spell is already remarkable. Subsequent improvements may require generations of mages to study and perfect it over millions of years until it can perfectly utilize all types of elemental power.
That day. But what I’m afraid of is that the world won’t be able to wait for that time.”
"Is it about the recent abnormal flow of elements?"
Mindatis nodded slightly, his eyes misty.
"To be honest, in fact, we only felt the abnormal flow of elements, and the information we have is no more than yours. But no matter what, we should always reduce the use of abnormal elements as much as possible. There is an unstable balance in nature.
The four major elements that make up the world must maintain balance. If one of the elements is more powerful than the others, the structure of the world will be destroyed and degenerate into the corresponding elemental planes and then fall apart. This process
Of course it is not achieved overnight, nor can it be achieved by one person or one thing. Everyone should be responsible for this. After all, this is the world in which we all can survive. So you will often see us druids.
Appearing next to those people or things who use the power of elements abnormally, trying to stop those behaviors that use elements unreasonably, and that is just a small effort within our power. As for you, Master Li Wen..."
Li Wen frowned slightly, understanding the meaning of the other party's words.
"So what you mean is, let me not use the 'Karl Simulator' in the future? At the same time, take back this spell?"
"No, quite the opposite."
Mindatis shook his head, "In fact, within us, there are two views on those who use the power of elements. Some people want to maintain a fragile balance, so they run around. And I...or our group
People who are more eager to thoroughly delve into the essence of elemental power to completely maintain the balance between elements through human power. We have been observing you for a while, but we have never stopped you in any way. This is the reason
...I hope you can
Carry out your research. Since you can develop this extraordinary spell that uses elements, it should be easier for you to break through on this path than any mage in the world. You are the easiest to find the one between the elements.
A mage with a balanced point. We hope you can continue to study it carefully, but it is a pity that those extraordinary genius mage always have the world in mind, and the same seems to be the case with Master Li Wen. You are too careless in the follow-up research on elemental power.
.”…
"Hmm"
Li Wen pursed his lips, never expecting that the Arch Druid's previous dislike was actually this kind of dislike.
It's like... hating iron but not turning it into steel?
But the problem is, right now... he really has no intention of expanding the scope of Karl's simulator to cover all elemental types.
My own elemental control expertise is at level 3, which may be on par with Helen's, or even slightly inferior.
His perception level is only 10 points for ordinary people. To say that he is a genius in elements is really ridiculous.
The reason why I was able to develop something like "Karl Simulator" was purely based on copying homework and the characteristic that only I know so far - the creator.
In endless simulations, something like a "modifier" was used to forcefully extract this method of using elemental power from the underlying rules of the world.
It is really a thankless task for him to focus on the remaining elemental power.
So at this time I could only smile and couldn't make any promises.
Mindatis glanced at Li Wen's expression and realized that this mage, who had high hopes for him, didn't seem to have the confidence to give a definite answer on this kind of matter, so he couldn't help but sigh again, making it look like he was
His old face looked a little sad.
"Forget it... I can't rely on others for this matter, so I won't talk about it. I heard Collins said that you came to see me. I wonder what kind of difficulties you have encountered?"
"There is also something about the recent abnormal flow of elements..."
Li Wen said, pointing to the sky.
"I feel that maybe this is not the first time this has happened in the history of the entire continent. Is there any experience in the past that is worth learning from?"
The twelve rounds of the moon will return regularly at a certain time, and its impact on the human world is by no means the first time it has happened. If it is really an impact caused by the approach of the moon, perhaps some clues can be found in history.
At present, the flow of abnormal elements has not shown any special effects other than elemental spells, but as this abnormal situation intensifies, no one can say what will happen in the future.
What the Archdruid said about breaking the balance of elements, and even causing the material world to decline into the complete separation of the four elemental planes that make up it, and the material world to cease to exist, may be the final outcome of this crisis.
.
Mindatis' eyes were deep, as if he was extracting some useful information from his long memory.
After a while, he said softly.
"In fact, we have had some discussions before about the possibility you mentioned. However, unfortunately, we have not been able to find any similar events in history. After all, once the differentiation of elements occurs, the entire material world will be destroyed.
It will no longer exist, and there will be no records left... Perhaps, before our era, similar things may have happened throughout the multiverse."
The archdruid said with a sigh, "After the world returns to the four basic elements, and after a long period of natural changes, the material world may be born at a certain moment in the balance of the free combination of the four elements. At that time... although the world will open
A new era has begun, but none of that has anything to do with us anymore.”…
"No clues at all?"
"That's not the case... If you can find a creature called 'Aboleth', you may be able to get some useful information from them."
"Aboleth?"
Li Wen had never heard of such a creature.
Mindatis nodded, "It is a kind of creature that has lived in the original ocean and underground lakes since the beginning of the world. They extend outward with spiritual energy, rob and control all emerging life in the world, and take all those
All creatures have become their own slaves. If the appearance of the gods had not ended their rule, this evil creature would have been the eternal master of the world.
Their minds are the treasure house of ancient knowledge, and they can review every moment they have witnessed with perfect clarity. Even the wisdom and knowledge of the creatures they harmed will be absorbed by them. So in theory
, they know everything. If there are any clues, then they are the most likely creatures to know."
"It doesn't sound like he's easy to mess with."
"Of course they are not easy to mess with, and their lairs are often hidden in deep water areas where no one can go. At the same time, years of management have made their lairs look real and illusory to outsiders, and not many people take the initiative to look for them.
Good ending."
Li Wen glanced at the Archdruid beside him, do you think I look like that big wretch?
As if he knew what Li Wen was thinking, Mingdatis explained with a smile.
"But you are different."
"What's different about me?"
"The means you used to end the two wars between Dresser State and the Golden Lion Kingdom were quite amazing."
"Um……"
Then what?
"The power you are relying on is the deadly enemy of those aboleths."
Li Wen was shocked.
"Illithids?"
It sounds quite reasonable.
They are all masters of using psychic powers.
And they are all based on enslaving other races. It is reasonable for the two overlords to fight each other. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Mindatis nodded, "Although I don't know how you asked the illithids for help, if you have such connections, you might as well try to ask them for help. Those illithids may be able to help you.
Catch one or two aboleths."
"Is it an illithid..."
That would be easy to handle.
The illithid mastermind in the underground world is still succumbing to Dark Bobby's "power", so it shouldn't be a problem to go talk to it about this matter.
Moreover, some of the things he learned from the Dragon Queen, as well as the previous communication with Resource Module 5, the patina moon, and the words of Archduke Adolf also made Li Wen a little concerned.
Even if there was no matter about the aboleth mentioned by the archdruid, Li Wen still wanted to talk to the illithid mastermind.
According to the information he had received before, the influence exerted by the copper-colored moon now is not decisive. Only war seekers will have the idea of "desiring war" in their minds.
In order to reincarnate in hell, Archduke Adolf led his Legion of Fire Blades to fight against the abyss, trying to balance the energy tendencies of the inner plane.
But what about the illithids?
What are they for?
Li Wen may not have known it clearly before, but he learned from the Dragon Queen not long ago——
The devils in hell used cruel methods to artificially create the gods of illithids.
Then... under the call of their gods, the illithid mastermind tried to start a war to subvert hell, it seems... it can be explained.
