Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 243 Ancient Magic
The tribe Woz encountered was called the "Zhongren"—Woz named them based on how they sounded.

Because of the discovery of the "god", and of course more likely because of the ice crystals of dragon blood everywhere, this large tribe settled down in the center of the grassland and spent a week leveling the grassland tirelessly. No scraps of blood remained.

Seeing how they looked as if they had found a treasure, Woz remembered that the dragon's blood is the legendary top magic material.However, in Woz's era, the dragon race was almost extinct, and there were no magicians who used dragon blood as a magic material. In addition, many magics in this era did not require auxiliary materials for casting spells, so Woz ignored this for a while. up.

During the short seven days, Woz was carefully enshrined by the people in the tribe as some kind of sacred and noble existence.Although he was speechless, his poor physical condition left him with little choice.At least these people are not malicious, and even willing to meet all of Woz's demands-as long as they can.

Woz was once again thankful that he had practiced blood magic. Thanks to the super recovery ability brought by blood magic, Woz recovered from various injuries in just a few days.Of course, this is also the first real "rest" for Woz in more than half a year.

Woz, who had recovered, wandered around the tribe's camp accompanied by Lina and his sister.Woz observed this tribal group of ancient people with great interest, and asked the two people next to him some detailed questions from time to time.

During the few days of recuperation, Woz also learned the language and characters of the ancient society by the way, which is not difficult for an excellent character wizard.

What surprised Woz a little was that the language and characters they used every day were completely different from what they chanted when they danced to the Great God Priest!
Although the level of civilization development of the tribe still often causes Woz to complain, their language and writing system is quite complete. Except for various nouns that will appear later, the language of the ancients is not much different from the language system of later generations. gap.The difference between the two is probably equivalent to two different foreign languages.So Woz learned it easily, but when Woz tried to match the language with the ugly piece of music he heard in the festival, he found that the two were completely wrong!
Woz later asked the chief priest in the tribe and learned that the music sung by all during the ceremony has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. No one in the tribe knows the true meaning of the music, let alone the specific meaning of each syllable. of the true meaning.

In the casting of magic, casting spells by chanting mantras is the mainstream method.Woz is convinced that the chorus of all members of the tribe is a kind of primitive "spell chanting", and their so-called grand ceremony is actually a large-scale magical ceremony used to summon large-scale magical effects.

Woz dared to come to this conclusion with such certainty because he had studied this information not long ago.When crusading against the demon soldiers on Sirius Island, the magic "Thousand People's Sanctuary" performed by Woz actually borrowed from the large-scale magic rituals popular in ancient times.

Because the human beings at that time had to fight against the overlord dragon in the sky, so the human magic world at that time was full of large-scale and amazingly powerful super-large magic, but they didn't pay much attention to accuracy—after all, the size of the enemy Put it there, whether it is a giant dragon or other large monsters, in a battle with them, it is not a big deal for the big fireball to be a few meters away.

Unlike later, when the mages basically fought against the mages themselves, the big man's magic was completely wasted, and in such a battle, even if the error was only a few centimeters, it might not be able to hit the target. The goal, so later the magic world found that the trend became the pursuit of precision and control, and the power of magic was placed on the next level of importance.

Of course, this is also related to the low tide of magic power in the world at that time.When the Human-Dragon War came to an end, the magic power in the whole world began to fall into an unprecedented low period.

The prophets at that time judged that the subsequent years of war between humans and dragons had excessively extracted the free magic power in the world, which led to the subsequent exhaustion of magic power.Even if the mages at that time wanted to launch large-scale magic to carry out indiscriminate bombing like before, it was impossible, so they had to be more "calculated".

It is precisely because of the environment where the world's magic power is exhausted that Akunorollia, who has won the chess game and obtained almost infinite magic power, has become even more invincible.In order to fight against Akunorolia, Jeref and Fire Dragon King Igniru made the "eclipse" plan, sending the only remaining dragon slayers to the future, an era full of magic power, in order to seek to defeat Opportunity in Acunorollia.

Woz feels that the free magic power in the environment is a bit strange, precisely because it is the magic power of the last "magic climax" era.

Fortunately, this is still the same world after all. Although the magic power is slightly different, it does not affect the normal use of Woz, and it can still be infected by his power, showing the power of the "Holy Ten".Woz knew that it was this vision of mobilizing the magic power of heaven and earth that was regarded as a miracle by this ancient tribe.So as to worship their own "God".

Although Woz explained many times after the language was communicated, the final result was only defined as a special existence of the "messenger of the gods" by the stubborn priests.

Woz wandered around slowly with his two little tails, and just woke up from despair. Woz didn't have much hope for returning to the future, so he slowed down his life rhythm infinitely, looking passive and sabotage.

If it weren't for the sacrificial magic in the tribe that successfully aroused Woz's curiosity and made him regain a bit of his research desire as a word mage, Woz didn't even bother to step out of the tent.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~" Suddenly, a loud siren sounded from the watchtower at the corner of the camp.

"The highest alert, the highest alert! The dragon is coming!" At the same time, someone shouted loudly from the side.

In an instant, the entire tribe turned into a precision machine running at high speed, and everyone was like a cog in this complex machine, moving at high speed but in an orderly manner.

Everyone in the tribe completed the contraction within a few seconds. Except for the hunters who went hunting far away, all the people near the camp gathered in the square in the center of the camp—the place where Woz was worshiped before, regardless of men, women, or children. Tens of thousands of people were arranged in hundreds of concentric circles around the core altar. Under the leadership of the high priest, they sang the ugly music again.

"It's earthy yellow, it's an earth dragon! An adult species!" At the same time, the sentry on the watchtower continued to add more detailed information.

After the high priest heard further information about the invading enemy, his tone changed, leading the entire tribe's chanting to switch to another paragraph.

Woz stood outside the ceremony, carefully observing what happened in front of him.

Similar things have happened more than once these days, perhaps because of the breath of dragon blood here, many of the people who have come recently are powerful monsters and even earth dragons who came to take revenge.

But even if it was a giant dragon attack, this ordinary tribe without a real strong man could escape unscathed, and was able to successfully expel these invaders every time!
And what they rely on is this chorus of thousands of people!
This made Woz very curious. Everything the tribe did completely violated a modern mage's view of magic.

They really make up for the huge gap in quality with quantity.

You must know that in the modern magic world, it is generally recognized that "quantitative changes may not necessarily produce qualitative changes."The core concept is that no amount of ordinary mages can truly defeat a holy ten mages.In other words, "the strong are invincible".

In fact, the Fairy Tail guild is one of the biggest contributors to this theory.Therefore, the basic mode of people's battle is soldier against soldier, king against king.It is completely impossible to rely on the accumulation of "soldiers" to fight against the "king".

Of course, it may also be the reason why no one has tried to gather tens of thousands of ordinary wizards to fight against the "King".

That's right, after observing Woz discovered the amazing fact that almost all the adults in the tribe have a reserve of magic power equivalent to the level of an official magician!Through questioning, Woz determined that this was just a normal situation in ancient times.In this era, everyone has such a level!

The chief said that their tribe is the most ordinary and ordinary, and the truly powerful tribes have many "supernatural beings".

The so-called "supernatural person", after further inquiry, Woz learned that it is a collective term for mages who have mastered the magic power of the element system.

According to their theory, Woz can also be regarded as a "supernatural person" who manipulates the power of ice.

Hearing such a strange name at first, Woz felt confused.But then he learned what the era really was like.

These ancient people possessed a level of aptitude unimaginable to future generations of humans. Every normal person is a qualified mage—only in terms of magic power reserves.But they will not use this magic power!

In other words, they don't have a mature magic system at all.Humans in this era have not really entered the age of magic, and most of the "magic" they master is the rough use of the magic power in their bodies, such as to enhance their body strength and speed...the magic power is abruptly used as fighting spirit.The waste caused by it is so serious and the efficiency is so low that any magic apprentice in the future will be dumbfounded.Only a very small number of the most talented priests can master the richer magic power usage skills such as elemental systems after hard work, and become "mages" in the definition of later generations.This ratio is much lower than that of later generations.

The only skill they can call "magic" in the true sense is the chorus of this festival.It is also the earliest "origin magic".

Through large-scale rituals, the magic power of thousands of individuals is connected together to cast powerful large-scale magic.The essence of this ritual magic is an even older "ancient spell".Even if it is simply chanted, it is enough to activate powerful magic—even if it has been seriously distorted and no one understands its true meaning.

The power of this ancient magic is so strong that the strength of a thousand people is enough to resist the attack of the giant dragon. If tens of thousands of people cast magic together, they can even compete head-on with the dragon for several rounds.

Of course, due to the inconvenient movement and the inability to fly, the most humans can do is to defeat the dragon, but it is difficult to prevent the dragon from escaping.

The earth dragon in the sky roared and attacked condescendingly, and a pillar of golden sand blasted down; at the same time, a transparent protective cover quietly appeared above the tribe, which blocked the dragon's roar with incomparable tenacity.The sand pillars were bounced off, forming a sandstorm all over the sky.Roaring unwillingly, Tulong even cursed a few times in human language before turning his head and leaving.

Woz stared at the protective shield in the sky with piercing eyes, no matter how many times he looked at it, he was amazed by it.A mantra that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is full of mistakes can still exert such powerful power!This is the strongest defensive magic that Woz has seen except for Fairy Ball, and even his long river of words cannot be said to be stronger than this.

You must... master this magic!Fighting spirit suddenly ignited in Woz's heart, and he vaguely felt that this was probably one of the most effective ways to deal with Akunorollia.

Learn this magic - it's literally tailor-made for "Song of a Thousand"!Then go back and defeat Akunorollia!This idea suddenly exploded in Woz's mind.

This is the world of magic, where magic is omnipotent!Immediately afterwards, Woz suddenly realized that although it is theoretically impossible to travel back in time and return to his original point in time, it is just that he has not found a suitable method!

Didn't the later Jeffs also develop the "solar eclipse" system to travel through time to the future?

There is no unparalleled road, since I have been selected as a player in the chess game, I will definitely return to the chess game that belongs to him... Although there will definitely be many difficulties ahead, in the end it is just to develop a new magic That's all.

Woz took a deep breath and cheered up: "As long as you find the direction, then the next thing will be easy to handle-it's all about fighting the magic of time."

When everyone in the tribe cheered for driving away the dragon, Woz finally showed a confident smile.
