Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

The scene gradually recedes and disappears, leaving behind the image of Soderion's aged face.

Lorne was still in a daze, immersed in the scene he had just witnessed.

Through the memory crystal, he learned a lot of information that he shouldn't have known at this stage.

They also gained a comprehensive understanding of the wizard's training system.

The information points obtained are broken down, organized, and then summarized into one group.

The first stage is that of a wizard apprentice. Through meditation and taking mental-enhancing potions, one can strengthen their mental power. Once their mental power has accumulated to a certain level, they can open their mental sea and begin practicing simple spells.

Then come the formal wizards, who convert their spiritual power into magical power and choose a school of thought; the specific level divisions are unknown.

Lorne guessed that the old man in black robes, the witch in white robes, the guide of the Black Tower, and Sodrion were all at this level.

The third stage is when a complete transformation takes place: the Saint Mark Wizard. According to the images in the memory crystal, this involves condensing Saint Marks and touching upon the rules.

As for the True Spirit, it is completely detached from the mortal world and is most likely the pinnacle of wizard cultivation, known as a superior being.

When Lorne first met Enderik, he felt that He was sacred and inviolable, and that He was high above.

After seeing the images in the memory crystal, Lorne gained a clear understanding of Him and the so-called 'True Spirit'.

They are essentially human beings, but they have climbed to the position of the true spirit step by step.

As a fellow human being, why should I worship you? Lorne's reverence for the true spirit greatly diminished.

All the doubts in my heart were then answered.

First of all, the Kenlar race are not inherently evil elves, but rather inherently kind, yet possess an amazing talent: 'Spirit Vision'.

It wasn't, as Lady Elena claimed, that he angered the true spirits. Rather, it was most likely that Enderik's actions stemmed from jealousy, leading him to cast a blood curse on the Kenlar race during his Saintly Wizard period.

His ascension to the status of a true spirit is a story for another time.

Then came the function of the Elf's Tear, Lady Elena's purpose, the "Spirit Vision" talent, and why there was only one formal wizard, Sodrion, in the settlement.

All these questions can be attributed to the same reason.

The contents of Enderic's curse.

The elves of the Kenlar tribe need a Tear of Spirit to open their Spirit Sea and become wizard apprentices.

The tears shed by their kind during times of despair and suffering are the stepping stones for them to embark on the path of wizard training.

To become a formal wizard, one must drink the blood and eat the flesh of one's own kind.

Lorne felt a chill run down his spine and looked at the aged elven chieftain before him with a strange gaze.

Sodrion didn't seem to mind, and simply explained to himself, "I don't want my people to know these things."

"Power can only be gained through killing each other, so it's inevitable that some people will be unable to control their inner desires."

"Hmm." Lorne nodded in agreement.

As he believed, some things become a burden once you know them.

Even setting aside the issue of wizarding cultivation, the mere fact that the enemy is a true spirit is enough to be suffocating.

Moreover, the upper limit of this group of guys is only formal wizards, and they can't even condense holy marks. How can they contend against a true spirit?

Rather than living a painful and helpless life after learning about these things.

It's easier to know nothing and live a carefree life in the cracks.

Lorne recalled lying with Mia in the Star Tear Grass.

The little one gazed at the starry sky and poured out his sorrows to himself.

It would be even more painful to know the truth...

Enderic is hailed as the embodiment of fairness in the world, but has he truly achieved fairness?

For the Kenlar elves, who were kind by nature and living peacefully, a human suddenly came to their door, bringing them an unexpected disaster.

Under the guise of seeking fairness for other creatures, isn't it mostly driven by inner jealousy?

"Sigh." Lorne couldn't help but sigh.

He was powerless to change any of this; the true spirit was still too far away for him, and he might never be able to reach it in his entire life.

but.

If given the chance... Lorne quietly clenched his fist.

Ugly creatures shouldn't sit in the position of true spirits...

"Lorne," Sodrion interrupted Lorne's thoughts, asking earnestly, "Could I ask you for a favor?"

"Please speak," Lorne said respectfully, bowing his head as if listening attentively.

After browsing through the images in the memory crystal, he had even greater respect for Soderion.

He single-handedly shouldered all the responsibilities, setting up folding magic arrays so that his people could live carefree lives.

The fact that it could become a formal wizard alone means that Sodrion has a lot of stories to tell.

"When you return to the Tower of the Black Sun, please convey to my unruly daughter that the gates of the settlement are always open to it."

"it is good."

Lorne did not inquire about its conflict with Elena.

Clearly, Sodrion did not tell Lady Elena about the true spirit.

This can be seen from Lady Elena's description of the Kenlar tribe and the origin of the curse.

Perhaps it learned from the wizards of the Black Tower that the Tears of the Elves could help it open its spiritual sea, which is why it had the idea of ​​obtaining the Tears of the Elves...

Lorne wondered to himself.

"It's time to leave." Sodrion put the memory crystal back in its place, along with some lingering attachments.

The two left the room.

As the ripples of the archway dissipated, the branches of the ancient tree began to intertwine again, and the runes on the gray stone pillars on both sides faded.

Those things were sealed away together.

"Mr. Sodrion." As Sodrion cast the "Cloud Walk" spell, Lorne voiced his confusion:

Why are the Kenlar elves hiding in the resource areas of the Black Sun Tower?

It's unreasonable from any perspective.

They left the Black Sun Tower to find a secluded paradise and set up a spatial folding magic array to hide.

Wouldn't that be a better option? It would also prevent the Black Tower wizards from coveting it.

"I'm sorry, Lorne." Sodrion understood what Lorne meant: "We have reasons why we cannot leave, which we cannot tell you at the moment."

What's the reason I can't leave?

Lorne nodded. "Understood."

The clouds lifted him into the air, away from the strange forest.

Lorne's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

Could the reason we can't leave be related to the Black Tower?

The mere existence of the inverted triangular black tower defies common sense; there must be some hidden secrets behind it.

To access this information, one must be at least at the level of a Saint Mark Wizard.

Having just come into contact with the secrets of the Kenlar tribe and witnessed the Holy Mark Wizard, Lorne, who had not yet become a wizard apprentice, was quite arrogant.

There are some things I want to explore that I shouldn't know at this stage.

His thirst for knowledge and desire to explore were still strong, but reason brought Lorne back to his senses.

Start planning what to do next.

Rudolf and his companions were delayed for another two days, and by then they had been in the elven settlement for more than ten days.

The most important thing right now is to get back to the Black Sun Tower and advance to the Wizard Apprentice level.
