(Today's first chapter, by the way, I wish the reader "Only Smoke" a happy birthday. When I came online this afternoon, I saw the post in the book review section and knew it was your birthday. Happy birthday to you!)
The 92nd chapter "Origin"
"Saimel has always been a genius." The Old Magician's voice was low, his eyes blurred as he looked at the snowy plains in front of him. The cold wind lifted his beard and his eyes shined …
"The first time I met Saimel was at the Shrines' annual New Year's Blessing Ceremony. At that ceremony, everyone with status in the Empire would be invited to attend. The Emperor and the Pope would pray to the gods together, asking the gods to bless the continent and bless the prosperity of the Roland Empire. It was also at that ceremony that I met Saimel for the first time. At that time, she was just over twenty years old, but was already recognized as the most talented astrologer in the Empire. She was even hired by the Emperor as a court astrologer a year before.
At that time, I had already inherited Aragon's magic and my status in the Magic Association was very high. No one knew that an elder of the Magic Association would be an enemy of the Shrines. On one hand, I secretly practiced the magic knowledge left behind by Aragon, and on the other hand, I secretly looked for a suitable successor to Aragon's magic. Because the magic left behind by His Majesty Aragon was very profound, and I was almost fifty years old at that time. In order to inherit Aragon's legacy, I had to find a suitable successor. I had to pass on everything I learned and sow more seeds! Otherwise, if I was exposed one day, or if I died, then everything would be over.
In the end, I chose Saimel.
She was a genius, I knew this from many aspects. Moreover, I secretly approached her a few times to test her. Her magic talent was also very good. Most importantly, her background was very clean.
Astrologers have always been respected, but they have no status. Not many people would spend a lot of effort to rope in a powerless astrologer. The Shrines also didn't pay much attention to this group of people. Saimel's background was also very simple, almost like a blank sheet of paper.
In the end, I secretly found her and became friends with her. I taught her some magic … You know, at that time, Saimel had already come up with a lot of interesting hypotheses about astrology, but those hypotheses were just whimsical in the eyes of others … Haha, she was originally a girl with a head full of whimsical ideas. And I just happened to cater to her ideas, so we had a good time together. In the end, she was inspired by me, she came up with a new idea. Why can't the power of the stars could become a kind of magic power? "
Hearing this, Duwei sighed.
So that's was it. Semel proposed that the power of the stars could also be used in magic … This idea was actually inspired by the old magician.
In order to satisfy her research desire, I accompanied her and began to travel the continent. We went everywhere to look for precious materials. For example, in the historical records of the places where the stars fell from the sky, we would carefully investigate them. In the end, we found several precious stones, which were said to be the fragments of the stars that fell from the sky after falling to the ground.
The years when I accompanied her to travel the continent were the happiest years of my life. Saimel was a smart and considerate woman. Every day when I was with her, it was like a new experience! "
The Old Magician's voice was filled with incomparable affection. Perhaps even he himself didn't notice this.
"And then?" Du Wei asked in a low voice.
"And then … We perfected Saimel's ideas step by step, and finally created the so-called Star Magic." The Old Magician's tone had a trace of strange mockery: "Actually, I lied to her. The so-called 'creation' was the result of me intentionally or unintentionally hinting at many details. In fact, I only took advantage of the time when we were discussing and researching to pass on Aragon's knowledge of magic to her bit by bit. His Majesty Aragon's magic was different from many of the magic on this continent. It was completely inherited from the magic of the demons. It was very different from the existing magic system on this continent. With these inspirations, Saimel finally had a breakthrough and created the so-called Star Magic … Oh, I even helped her name it. Because the magic system she 'created' was actually Aragon's, I didn't even change the name and directly named it after Aragon's magic. Star Dou Qi and Star Magic, this was originally what His Majesty Aragon relied on to dominate the world. However, Saimel had never heard of the name 'Star Magic', and thought that it was very suitable, so she accepted it. "
At this point, the Old Magician paused for a moment with a smile on his face, as if he was indulging in some happy memories. His expression was soft, and his eyes were gentle …
"At that time … We got along very well. She was like a good friend of mine, and also like my disciple. When I was with her, even I seemed to become younger. " The Old Magician shook his head, and then a trace of haze flashed in his eyes: "But later, I began to think that sooner or later I would have to tell her something … Tell her everything about Aragon, all the secrets, because she was the suitable successor I had chosen."
"Did you tell her?" Du Wei asked.
"I … was very hesitant." The Old Magician's face showed a trace of struggle: "She was so happy … so simple, and liked a simple and peaceful life … I suddenly regretted it. It was a sin to drag such a happy and simple woman into this complicated and heavy historical grudge. So, I kept delaying it, until … We returned to the Imperial Capital, until … "
Du Wei's heart moved, as if he had thought of something.
"We returned to the Imperial Capital after traveling for three years. One day, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, and His Majesty ordered the best astrologer to come and do a divination. After that, at a palace banquet, Saimel met Zach of the Rollin family. Oh, boy, he was your great-great-great-grandfather, Zach Rollin. At that time, he was the youngest general in the Imperial Military Command. "
"And then?" Du Wei smiled bitterly.
"And then?" The Old Magician's eyes showed a trace of coldness that made Du Wei feel a chill. He sneered: "And then, I don't know what your great-great-great-grandfather did, but he tricked Saimel's heart. The two fell in love! "
Obviously, from the Old Magician's eyes, there was a kind of jealousy! A kind of jealousy and resentment that came from the depths of his heart!
What was certain was that this old man obviously had some special feelings for Saimel other than friendship and the feelings of master and disciple!
What happened after that was relatively simple:
The Old Magician saw the female genius that he had trained fall in love, and then marry the head of the famous Rollin family, the youngest and most promising general in the Imperial Military Command, Zach Rollin. On one hand, he could not tolerate his beloved woman falling into the arms of another man. On the other hand, how could the successor that he had trained be thrown into another family? Wouldn't all his efforts of the past few years be in vain?
Therefore, just before Saimel married Zach, the Old Magician found Saimel, and then the two had a deep conversation.
The Old Magician did not describe the content of the conversation in detail. But Du Wei could infer two conclusions from the few words and between the lines.
First, the Old Magician must have expressed his admiration for this female genius that was almost half his disciple! And it was certain that Saimel had rejected it. In fact, Saimel had never had any kind of feelings for this man who was twice her age (according to the age calculation at the time). She had always simply regarded the Old Magician as a good friend with similar aspirations, or a kind half-teacher and half-friend companion. That was all. This made the Old Magician very sad.
Then, the sad Old Magician finally spoke about his original purpose of training Saimel: to find out all the secrets of Aragon's unsolved historical cases!
Unfortunately, regarding this … … Saimel, who had a very strong personality, rejected it as well!
"Her tone at that time was very similar to yours, kid." The Old Magician's face was haggard as he whispered: "Do you remember what you said to me two days ago? You said 'you are the strongest in the continent, you are the Paladin, you are the Magicians, but what does that have to do with me!' She probably said the same thing at that time."
At that time, Saimel had fiercely expressed her anger.
"Whether it's Aragon, Gods, Demons … … What does that have to do with me? If Gods and Demons want to fight, then let them fight! If they want to fight, then fight! Whether it's Shrines or Imperial power, I have no interest in these things! I only want to live my own life! Why do I have to shoulder all these things that have been deposited by history, which are already emitting the smell of decay? Why should I get involved in these things that happened hundreds of years ago? I don't want to! I don't want to be involved in these things! I have my own freedom! I only want to live my own life! My, Saimel's life! Not some inheritance of other people's will!! "
In the end, the Old Magician left and Saimel married into Rollin's family. After that, she lived a very happy life for a few years.
But a few years later, the Old Magician came looking for Saimel again and secretly met with her.
In those few years, the Old Magician spent a lot of effort to get his hands on some secret documents. He even sneaked into the palace and obtained the handwriting of the founding Emperor. He even dared to sneak into the Shrines … … many times!
In the end, he pieced together a shocking piece of information from all these documents. That shocking piece of information made the Old Magician unable to sit still. He needed a powerful helper to complete something. Helpless, he could only look for Saimel who was already a powerful Magician.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, although she had clearly expressed her ambition, she wasn't interested in inheriting any legacy. But for the sake of their friendship in the past, and the fact that the Old Magician had taught her with great care, Saimel agreed to help.
However, he would only do it this once.
But this time, when he was helping out, something big happened!
