Chapter 92

"Semel was a genius." The old magician's voice was low and his eyes were blurred. He looked out into the snow. The cold wind raised his beard and his eyes were shining

"The first time I saw Semel was at the annual New Year's blessing ceremony in the temple. At that ceremony, all the distinguished people in the imperial capital would be invited to attend. The emperor and the Pope prayed to the gods together, asking the gods to protect the continent and the prosperity of the Loran empire. It was at the ceremony that year that I first met Semel. At that time, she was just over 20 years old, but she was already recognized as the most talented astrologer by the emperor. She was even appointed as the court astrologer by her Majesty the year before.

At that time, I had been inherited by Aragorn. I had a high position in the association of magicians. No one knew that a senior member of the association would be the enemy of a temple. On the one hand, I secretly practiced the magic knowledge left by Aragorn, and on the other hand, I quietly searched for a suitable successor of Aragorn's magic. Because the magic left by his majesty Aragorn was profound, and I was almost 50 years old at that time. In order to inherit Aragorn's will, I must find a suitable successor, pass on what I have learned and know, and sow more seeds! Otherwise, if one day I suddenly exposed, or died, then it's all over.

In the end, I chose Semel.

She's a genius, and I've learned that in many ways. And I quietly approached her and tested her a few times. Her magic talent is also very good. Most of all, her background is clean.

Astrologers have always been respected, but they have no status. There are not many people who will try their best to win over a powerless astrologer. The temple did not attach much importance to this group. And Semel's family background is very simple, almost a piece of white paper.

At last, I found her quietly, and made friends with her. I taught her some magic... You know, at that time, Semel had put forward many interesting assumptions about astrology, but those assumptions were fantastic in other people's eyes... Ha ha. She was a girl full of whimsy. And I, just to cater to her ideas, so we had a good time. Finally, inspired by me, she put forward a new idea: why can't the power of the stars become a magic power? "

Duvet sighed at this.

i see. Semel proposed that the power of stars can also be used in magic... This idea was inspired by the old magician.

In order to satisfy her desire for research, I accompanied her to travel to the mainland. We look for precious materials everywhere. For example, in the historical records of stars falling from the sky, we will carefully investigate them. Finally, we find some precious stones, which are said to be the fragments left by stars falling from the sky and the ground.

Accompanied her to travel the mainland in those years. It's the happiest years of my life. Semel is a smart, understanding woman, with her, as if every day is fresh

The voice of the old magician was very affectionate, which maybe even he didn't notice.

"And then?" Dewey whispered.

"Then... We perfected Semel's idea step by step. In the end, it created the so-called star magic. " The old magician's tone with a strange mockery: "in fact, I cheated her. The so-called "creation" is the result of my insinuation of her in many details. In fact, I just took advantage of our discussion and research to teach her the magic knowledge of Aragon bit by bit. And the magic of his majesty Aragon is different from many magic in this continent. It inherits the magic power of the devil and is different from the existing magic system in this continent. With these inspirations, Semel finally made a breakthrough. I got the so-called star magic... Oh, I named it for her. Because her so-called "another creation" of the magic system is actually the same as Aragorn's, so I didn't even change my name, so I named it after Aragorn's magic. Star fighting and star magic were originally His Majesty's reliance. It's just that Semel hasn't heard of the name star magic. I think the name is very suitable. I accepted it. "

At this point, the old magician stopped for a moment. With a smile on his face, he seems to indulge in some happy memories, with soft expression and gentle eyes

"At that time... We got along very well. She was like a good friend of mine and a disciple of mine. With her, it's as if I've become younger myself. " The old magician shook his head, and then a haze flashed in his eyes: "but later, I began to think that sooner or later, I would tell her something... All the secrets of Aragon, because she was the right successor I chose."

"Did you say that?" Asked Dewey.

"I'm... Hesitant." The old magician's face showed a trace of struggle: "she is so happy... So simple, like a simple, free and peaceful life... I suddenly regret it. It is a crime to drag such a happy and simple woman to this complicated and heavy historical resentment. So, I kept delaying until... We went back to the imperial capital, until... "

Dewey felt as if he had thought of something“ We went back to the imperial capital after three years of traveling outside. One day that year, some strange phenomena appeared in the sky. Your majesty ordered the best astrologer to come to do divination. Later, at a palace banquet, Semel met Zach of the Rowlings. Oh, boy, it's your great great grandfather, Zach Rowling. The youngest general in the Imperial military command at that time. "“ And then what? " Dewey grinned bitterly“ And then The old magician's eyes showed a trace of coldness that made Dewey feel a little chilly. He sneered: "then. I don't know what means your great grandfather used to cheat Semel's heart. They are in love Obviously, from the eyes of the old magician, it is a kind of jealousy! A kind of jealousy and resentment from the bottom of my heart! To be sure, the old man had a special feeling for Semel besides his friends and apprentices! After that, it's easier to say: the old magician fell in love with the female genius he had trained. Then he married Zach Rowling, the youngest and most promising general in the Imperial military command, the contemporary parent of the Rowling family of the Mingmen Wang nationality. On the one hand, he can't tolerate his beloved woman throwing herself into other people's arms. On the other hand, how could his heirs be so devoted to other families? Is it not that the hard work of the past few years has been wasted? So, just before Semel married Zach, the old magician found him, and then they had a deep conversation. The content of the conversation. The old magician didn't give a detailed account. However, Dewey can infer two conclusions from the words and between the lines. First of all, the old magician must have revealed his inner love for his female genius who is almost half a disciple! And to be sure, Semel refused. In fact, Semel has never had any feelings about this man who is twice his age (according to the age at that time). She has always regarded the old magician as a good friend with similar aspirations, or a companion of a kind half teacher and half friend. That's it. This made the old magician very sad. Then, the sad old magician finally told all the secrets about his original purpose of training Semel: about the history of Aragon! Unfortunately, for this... Very personality Semel also refused“ Her tone at the time. It's really like you, boy The old magician looked haggard and said in a low voice, "do you remember what you said to me two days ago? You said," you are the strong men in the mainland, you are paladins, you are magicians, but what do these have to do with me? " That's what she said at the time At that time. Semel is very fierce to put forward his anger“ Whatever Aragorn, gods, demons... What do these have to do with me? Gods and demons, if they want to fight, fight, fight! I don't have any interest in this, whether it's the temple or the imperial power! I just want to live my own life! Why should I be burdened with these decaying historical deposits? Why should I get stuck in something that has been going on for hundreds of years? I don't want to! I don't want to be involved in this kind of thing! I have my freedom! I just want to live my own life! My life in Semel! Instead of inheriting other people's will! " result. The old magician left in dismay. Semel married the Rowlings and lived a happy life for several years. But a few years later. The old magician came to the door again and met Semel in secret. In those years, the old magician spent a lot of hard work to get some secret documents, even many of them were the handwriting left by the founding emperor by sneaking into the palace, and even he bravely sneaked into the temple... Many times! Finally, a surprising message was pieced together from many materials. The amazing message made the old magician unable to sit still. He needed a powerful helper to complete a thing together. But he had to find Semel, who was already a powerful magician. Although I haven't seen you for many years, although I have made my ambition clear, I'm not interested in inheriting any legacy. But for the sake of friendship in those years, and for the sake of the old magician who had taught him his love, Semel agreed to help. But just this once. But this time, something happened!
