In the dark room, the orange-red flame of the oil lamp flickered, like a flickering candlelight in the dark night, which would be swallowed up by darkness at any time.
In the dark and cold corridor, the leather boots made a slight thumping sound on the stone tile floor. A faint firelight came from the room in the distance. It was a familiar room. Since returning from the expedition to the pit of hell, he
I come here often because my life-and-death friend works here.
"I'm looking for Geert."
The witch hunter's footsteps stopped at the entrance of the laboratory. Although the guard knew him and was extremely friendly to him, Diego still maintained proper etiquette.
"Let him in."
Before the guard could speak, the man's hoarse command voice came from the room.
The guard immediately made way for the witch hunter and made a respectful gesture.
Diego quickly walked into the familiar room.
However, today the room was filled with an unfamiliar smell. Although he couldn't tell what it was, Diego's professional sensitivity made him aware of this subtle change. Due to his professional nature, Diego didn't like it.
Spells, and mages who don’t like playing with spells.
But Galt was different. They had fought side by side and saved each other's lives.
The witch hunter walked forward, and finally, in the place where Geert often worked, he discovered the source of this unusual smell.
To be precise, not only was the smell in the room extraordinary, but the mage himself was also extraordinary.
I saw Geert, who was wearing the same clothes, with his back to the witch hunter. However, there were two small metal balls suspended above his head in an unnatural shape!
It was a metal that the witch hunter had never seen before, maybe it was a new metal element, maybe it was another alloy. In short, Diego had never seen such smooth and clean metal.
The two small balls seemed to be floating carelessly, as if they were rotating regularly around a certain center point.
At first, Diego thought it was a spell. However, when Galt turned around, the witch hunter was shocked... He saw that the young mage didn't have any magic weapon in his hand, and he didn't say any spells in his mouth.
But the two metal balls were still floating above his head in the air!
This is simply incredible.
Geert obviously saw Diego's surprise. He smiled and motioned for Diego to sit down first before talking.
"I'm curious, how is this done? Right?"
Galt said, slowly stood up, made a small inadvertent movement with his fingertips, and the two small metal balls fell lightly, as if they had calculated the trajectory, and fell into the pen holder accurately.
"This is thanks to the guidance of our great lord. Yes, I just realized and mastered this skill in the past two weeks. Elements can be controlled, they are particles, it is really amazing. Everything,
They are all particles. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. But I just use my most primitive talent to perceive them. This is enough for me to control them."
Galt said, a hint of excitement and joy appeared on his tired face.
"Do you know about fire mage and frost mage? Well, I think of course you know that there are two kinds of magicians who rely on the power of elements to cast spells. Fire and frost can be manipulated based on the same principle. However, most mages need
Spells, magic weapons, and even rituals can be used to assist spell casting. However, I believe that there must be extremely powerful mages in the world who can directly use the power of elements without relying on such external means."
As Galt spoke, his expression became more and more excited, and he did not notice the stiff expression on the witch hunter's face at all.
"In other words, you can now directly manipulate metal without using spells?"
Diego's face was extremely gloomy, but Galt didn't care at all. He was in high spirits, and while pouring wine for his old friend, he continued talking excitedly——
"It's almost the same, but it can only be a small piece of metal. This feeling is so wonderful that you may not be able to understand and feel it. It feels like... it's like you have an extra part of your body, and the metal is the extra part.
Like the blood flowing through my body, I can feel them, just like blood flowing through my body."
Galt said, his deep-set eyes sparkling with excitement that he had never seen before.
"So, you can manipulate any metal?"
Diego continued to ask with a gloomy face.
"Oh, this is impossible. In other words, with my current abilities, I can't reach the level you mentioned. In fact, I can only control some relatively stable metals, such as iron, copper, gold, silver, and lead.
.As for those relatively active metals, I still cannot control them. For example, magnesium, potassium, zinc... these elements are beyond my control."
"Did you know? Diego, each metal has its own different characteristics, just like a group of children with full personalities, some are naughty and passionate, and some are introverted and calm. Gold, silver, and copper are the ones who are not good at expressing.
, yet calm and sophisticated. Their structure is very dense and stable. I can control them in a short time."
"What kind of metal do those two metal balls belong to?"
Geert's passionate words were interrupted by Diego. The witch hunter stared at him coldly, without any expression on his face.
"A simple alloy made of iron, nickel and copper in a certain proportion. I refined it in the alchemy room two years ago."
"All right……"
Only a heavy sigh was heard coming from the witch hunter's mouth. Geert was obviously confused by this sudden depression. He suddenly remembered that it was already late at night, and the witch hunter was looking for him at this time, and
Why didn't you call anyone else?
"You...you have something to tell me?"
Galt recovered from his excitement and looked curiously at the familiar but somewhat weathered old guy in front of him. In fact, considering Diego's age, he was not too old. He was only around fifty at most.
Years old, but his rich combat experience and years of adventure have made him look weathered, like an old man, with half of his hair on his temples white.
"Yes, I received instructions from Rhodes, but I actually discovered it myself..."
Diego took a sip of hot water and then said——
"Undead creatures have appeared in the southern border of Kislev, on the border with Sylvania. I suspect that vampires are entrenched in that area. Therefore, I must go there myself and investigate clearly."
"yourself?"
Galt asked curiously.
"Yes."
"Why don't you call the others?"
"I am the only one who is best at this task. Besides, everyone else has their own things to do. Grondi is busy training Ironbreaker recruits, and after Celta was seriously injured, it is inconvenient to take risks again. Yeskevich must sit in
In Esun Cathedral, Aliria is missing. Haha, that woman is always so elusive."
Diego said with a wry smile.
"Indeed, that elf is very mysterious. She knows too much, and her relationship with Rhodes seems to be extraordinary."
