Chapter 554 Hidden in the Earth and Buried with Gold
"The soft soil turns into crystal, the unruly, shining, crawling Iron Princess, the blade close at hand, in my name, the crystal armor!"
The young man gasped for breath, and beads of sweat fell to the ground. The high-grade magic crystal in his hand was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was the last spell he could cast at this moment, and it was a spell he had not yet fully mastered. Diamond-like armor covered his whole body, the magic power fluctuated rapidly, and a faint fluorescence flickered in and out. The young man slowly straightened up, a trace of tenacity flashed in his eyes.
"The origin of magic wandering in another dimension, the brown phantom wandering in the center of the earth, come, the sleeping earth spirit!"
The old man standing more than ten meters away had a calm face. He was not panicked by the spell cast by the other party, nor did he have the slightest intention to fight back.
However, anyone who can summon the elemental elves from the earth is a great magician of the earth element. The practice room became silent, and the old man's staff floated quietly in the air without any movement.
The boy's name is Cech, a direct disciple of Augustine, the great mage of the Principality of Shaylu, and the owner of a replica wand (one-handed wand).
Although Cech has a very weak character, his talent in magic is different from ordinary people, and even reaches the level of extraordinary talent.
From the day he was born, Cech has carried a trace of earth magic. At less than five years old, he can condense the magic in his body into a cyclone, although it is only as thick as a thumb.
It was a matter of course, and it was deserved. Now Cech has become the youngest magician in the Principality of Shayeru, and also possesses an ancient artifact such as a replica wand (one-handed staff).
To him, the future is just a flower bud waiting to bloom. When the weather gets warmer, it will show its most beautiful colors.
And that old man is the only great mage in the Principality of Sayeru. His name is Augustine, a peak earth powerhouse and the master of the Rhythm Stone Heart Staff (two-handed staff).
He is usually a serious man and shows a lack of interest in everything. If it weren't for the surging magic power coming out of the training room, he would have been pulled into the Bachelor's Tower by the guards for rescue.
Augustine has lived for nearly three hundred years. He is not from Shayel, but he has lived here for a long time. It has been so long that he has regarded this place as his hometown.
He doesn't like contact with others, let alone those casual social interactions. As long as the city of Kadian is safe and sound, Augustine will not take action easily. This is an agreement between him and the great princes of the past, and it is also a kind of transaction.
"Mentor, I plan to leave Kadian City and the Principality of Shayel in a few years. I am very young, so I want to go out and see the whole world with my own eyes."
"I know that my problems stem from my weak character, but this is the most real version of me, and it will never affect my ability to become a strong person in the future."
"Everyone has his or her own flaws. There is no real perfection in the world. The backside of everything is stained with filth."
Cech sat on the ground, twirling his wand and whispering. As a descendant of a noble family, he could only talk to his mentor about these words.
Cech has always had a dream, that is, to be able to leave the Principality of Shayeru, or even the continent of Austria. He yearns for the free air of the Pava Federation, and is more curious about the scene in the Land of Shadows.
Although he is powerful, he does not pursue much power. Compared with the intrigues of the aristocratic circle, Cech prefers an unrestrained life.
Either devote yourself to practice, or see more about things you don’t know. This is Cech’s ideal and the life he truly envisions.
"Little thing, you haven't become a peak powerhouse yet. Let alone leave the Principality of Shayeru, if you can walk out of this training room, the old man will allow you to leave at will!"
"It is a good thing to let your dreams go, but dreams cannot be eaten directly. The reason why you have the leisurely life now is that you are from a noble family, and you are a material for cultivating magic power."
"If not, how are you different from the poor people who work hard all day long? Don't say that you can conjure gold coins out of thin air, or even high-grade magic crystals."
"I have lived for nearly three hundred years, what kind of people have I not seen? Therefore, my instructor advises you that you cannot start your life over again. You must be responsible for your own decisions."
"It's a good thing to have your own ideas, but apart from what you know about the ancient continent from books, have you ever heard it or seen it with your own eyes?"
"I know there is a map in your storage bag, but have you ever looked at it carefully to see where you should take a detour and where you should block it?"
"The mentor said the same thing, I will not stop you from leaving in the future, but before that, you must at least become a magician, and you must also be deeply involved in the world."
"Otherwise, even if you escape from Kadian City secretly, mentor, I will catch you back with my own hands. Don't blame me for being ruthless then, some repairs will be inevitable."
The rhythmic stone heart staff flickered on and off like cargo, and the figure of the earth elemental elf gradually blurred. I don’t know how many people he said this to, but no one really listened.
A long life has tempered his will, but it has also made him wise and calm. He regards Cech as his own child, so he often gives warnings.
"The mentor is not from Shayul, but he has lived here for one hundred and seventy-three years. Because the Shayul Principality has no shortage of gold coins, and a principality with no shortage of gold coins is the most ideal choice for our magicians."
"Magic crystals are very expensive, mage robes are very expensive, books are very expensive, and doctors and scholars' consultation fees are also very expensive. There is only one life, and only those who are alive are equipped to be called strong."
"The meaning of life is to let one die well! Although the word 'value' is often mentioned by the world, how many can achieve it?"
"Clear your goals, and then make every effort to achieve them. This principle applies to all professionals and all living beings."
After Augustine, the great earth magician, said nothing, he turned around and pushed open the iron door of the training room, and unexpectedly walked out.
Cech sat there blankly, thinking about his mentor's words. Although everyone heard them clearly, the combination is not what you can understand now.
The replica wand floated in mid-air, the wooden doll was pierced by thorns in the soil, and a loud rumbling sound echoed in the backyard of the palace. Augustine stood outside the door, first dismissed a few servants who were asking for help, and then sighed without leaving a trace. He affirmed Cech's idea, because it was also his long-cherished wish once upon a time. Who doesn't want to travel freely, and who doesn't want to see more unknown things.
But today, he directly rejected Cech's idea. Because reality and ideals are very different. The former is mostly cold and ruthless, while the latter is always like a mirage. Although they can see it, few people can hold it in their hands.<
/p>
At the same time, this is also the biggest criticism of the Principality of Shaheru. Because of the "gold coins above" concept, it simply cannot retain those young professionals with real potential.
During the years that Augustine lived, he saw many powerful people leave quietly, not because of hatred, but because they wanted to find a more reliable place to settle down.
