Since ancient times, the legend of the island has been spread in the Gaboa continent.

Of course, legends are just legends. One of the countless unnatural legends in the world that has not yet been proven, it is one of the most unreliable.

However, even if it is a legend, there must be a reason for its circulation.

After the end of the Qiming War, a group of magicians of the Learned Alliance, who were "full of dreams and blood", exhausted their life's wealth and efforts to build ships that could float in the air, and began their journey to find the land of the sky.

It was a long and arduous journey, half of them gave up and half of them died. At this moment, when the remaining travelers were almost desperate, they seemed to feel a ray of light passing through the endless sea of clouds, guiding them in the direction of their progress. Through an empty space full of thunderclouds and turbulence, the earth floating in the sky finally appeared in front of everyone.

This is the founding legend of Nadia, the land of the sky.

The world is boiling, and the major countries on the ground are fighting openly and secretly for the ownership of Sky Island, but the mages of the Knowledge Alliance have quietly left the ground and gone to the endless and free sky.

The first discoverer of the Isle of Skye, the founding father, was convinced that he had been guided by the goddess in his despair, and the kingdom was established after the goddess of the sky, Nadia.

The princes and nobles on the ground were stunned and thundered, but without the floating ship technology, they could only sigh in anticipation.

According to the middle school textbook, magicians are no longer vassals of princes and nobles, but as an independent political force, they have appeared on the stage of history.

Since then, new floating islands have been discovered, and the small ones can only build a villa, and the large ones can build a city for millions of people. The immigrants on the ground continue to go to the sky, and the national power of the Natya Federation has become stronger step by step.

Fifty years after the establishment of the Federation, a civil war broke out between the Winged Kingdom living in the mountains of Namoa. The winged royal family has fallen, and the bloodline is almost severed. Loyal to the royal family and the rule of law, the White Banner and Red Banner Wingers took refuge in the Commonwealth, and soon became citizens of the Commonwealth.

At this time, the Scholarly Alliance formed by the magicians was the only ruling group in the Federation, but it was a truly multi-ethnic country with a large number of above-ground immigrants, including winged people, dwarves, elves, and other races.

The day that the Astral Chariot carrying Lu Xi and Orucello entered the airspace of the Natya Federation was May 10, 529 in the federal calendar. On this day, there are still four months left before Lu Xi's 17th birthday.

The four divine horses pulling the carriage had grown wings at some point, and they shuttled lightly between the sea of clouds under the control of the armored coachman. The sturdy hooves swayed vigorously, filled with an explosive sense of rhythm, as if it were stepping on solid earth rather than an empty void.

Lu Xi was lying on the window, his eyes moving with the big birds flying outside the window between the blue sky and the sea of snow and white clouds.

"That's the albatross," said Oluseiro, who was sitting opposite, "and we use it to pass letters between the empty islands." ”

"Why not use carrier pigeons? Pigeons should be easier to domesticate, right? ”

"At this altitude of the sky, the air flow situation is very complicated, and it is difficult for the pigeon to fly normally, let alone transmit the message; Besides, the sky is a very dangerous place, and there is a possibility that powerful flying monsters may inhabit everywhere, so you don't have to worry about being eaten with an albatross. ”

"Hearing you say that, I'd better try to stay safe on the island?"

"When you're not strong enough, that's true."

"But I'm more curious about this carriage than about the albatross." Lu Xi patted the wall of the carriage, and the feedback was neither like metal nor wood, "I've heard that the rich people of the Federation all have private floating boats, let alone a great mage of your status. However, this flying carriage is much more handsome than a floating ship. ”…,

At the mention of the floating ship, a trace of embarrassment seemed to flash on Orucello's face, and he also patted the wall of the car and said, "This is the Star Spirit Chariot, which is actually a type of summoning magic." ”

"Star Spirit?"

"It's my unique summoning magic." Orucello laughed, "As long as you summon magic, whether it is summoning Saroman Serpents and Undead Birds from the Fire Plane, Rock Giants from the Earth Plane, or even Demons from Endless Purgatory, you need to sign a contract with those elemental spirits. I, on the other hand, am the only magician in this world who has signed a contract with the Astral Realm. ”

"So, what exactly is the so-called Star Spirit?"

Orucello pondered for a moment and said, "This is also one of the topics I am working on. It was also a coincidence that I was able to sign a contract with Xingling at the beginning. Legend has it that when every great hero in the world falls, his soul either ascends to the heavens and becomes a god, or steps into reincarnation, but his will turns into a star that guards the world. The star spirit is the embodiment of the stars. ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but be speechless: "What a rumor in the middle two, the meaning of the myth is far greater than the practical significance." ”

Orucello nodded: "This is the reason why I am reluctant to pass on this set of summoning magic, and after teaching it, I can't succeed, won't others say that I am a misleading child?" ”

Lu Xi pursed his lips and was skeptical. He thought for a moment and said, "So, this carriage is the incarnation of the Star Spirit?" ”

Orucello shook his head: "I said it, the Star Spirit is just a will to fight. In order to manifest this will, it is necessary to deal with the topics of alchemy and metamorphosis. This carriage is a shell made by me with a large amount of alloy materials, alchemy and transfiguration, and then injected the star spirit into it, which forms the so-called star spirit chariot. ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but be shocked: "In other words, the Pegasus that pulled the cart and the armored warrior who drove the cart were all made by you?" ”

Oluseiro nodded proudly: "They are all star spirits, and their bodies are naturally made by me. In normal times, it can be used as a means of transportation, and when fighting, it can also be my shield and sword. ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but be speechless. What is the unpredictable technique? That's it. What kind of miracles can the top arcane masters create? Lu Xi finally had an intuitive image.

"I really don't know when I'll be able to summon my own star spirit." Lu Xi sighed.

Orucello smiled, "When I truly unlock the secret of the Star Spirit Summoning, I will naturally pass it on to you." But before that, you have to master the other schools well. As I said earlier, if you want to summon the Saroman Serpent, you must have a deep enough magical attainment in plastic energy, and plastic energy involves the use of the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. A good magician may have a particularly deep attainment in a certain school, but this does not mean that he is ignorant of other schools of magic. For example, Yuxi, she is best at prophecy, but even if it is her worst at shaping magic, it can still kill you. Boy, you still have to learn magic. ”

"Yuhee?" Lu Xi noticed that Orucello was talking about "she" instead of "him".

"Yushi? Nacardo. One of the four great Magi of the Federation alongside me, and the only woman among us. ”

"Oh." Isn't this nonsense? They were great magistors, and I was just a little apprentice in magic.

"It's so boring," Lu Xi pursed his lips, "I still want to experience the feeling of flying." It seems that this plan has to be delayed. ”

"Fly for yourself?"

"Hmm." Lu Xi nodded: "Didn't you say that magicians all know something called flying magic?" ”

"You're not mistaken," Orucello laughed, "but you made two mistakes. First, flying is the most advanced arcane art, and it requires the user's control of the wind element's plastic energy to reach the transformation realm before it can be used, and it is impossible to use it without ten or twenty years of penance. Second, even the best Arcane Masters can only fly for half a day at most, and they can't be faster than Flying Birds, let alone flying ships. To put it bluntly, flying is only an auxiliary means, and no one will waste precious magic on it. ”…,

"So, how can the old and stubborn understand the romance of our young people."

"Hehe, for me, my romance is the test tube, the mercury lamp, the scale, the real material and the book." Orucello said with a smile.

Lu Xi was suddenly in awe of his boss, at least his enthusiasm and dedication to scientific research were real, and some bricks should really hold the bricks and sink into the river by themselves. Of course, if you take it as your responsibility to enjoy life, you will never live such a life in the future.

"Then why don't you do your research in the federal capital? With your status and prestige, you can use the best equipment and waste the most expensive materials, and even the best magicians will be lined up to be your assistant. Anyway, it's much better than the real yàn room you built out of your own pocket, right? ”

"Silly boy, you don't understand." Orucello smiled disdainfully, "The magic crystal has seven categories and two hundred and fifty-six attributes, and the runes have one hundred and eight letters, and these formulas that can be combined are definitely more than astronomical numbers; But even so, how can even the most complex research be as complex as the complexity of people's hearts? After all, what is brewed in the complex human heart is only ambition, conspiracy, deception, and persecution; But what is brewed by complex research must be the progress and gospel of mankind! ”

Maybe it's just Pandora's box. Lu Xi remembered the world he came from, the nuclear weapons hanging above the heads of humans like the sword of Damocles, but looking at Orucello's expression, he didn't speak.
