Uplifting Journey

The fire element around the red dragon, which was too late to transform, suddenly moved under the gaze of the inexplicable existence in the land of fire.

Almost in an instant, the huge amount of fire elements accumulated inside and outside the Red Dragon's body condensed and compressed into a complicated three-dimensional pattern, which was immediately embedded in the Red Dragon's body, deeply engraved in every cell of him like a brand.

It seems that this is completely a spontaneous behavior of the fire element. The red dragon who encountered this situation for the first time could not find the actual interference link of the enemy at the elemental level like ordinary magic, and had no way to counter and resist.

After the red dragon had a little understanding of the new law of elemental changes on his body, there was no trace of the fire element imprint in his body at all, as if that thing had never appeared.

"It seems that things like elements hide a lot of secrets. You can ask the elves later to see if they know something."

The confused Red Dragon put this question aside for the time being. He glanced at the completely closed hole of the plane above the only pool of fire element aggregates left, and then turned his gaze to the scorched ancient war tree around him.

After being affected by the small fireball fired by the red dragon's fusion, this powerful creature that used to be majestic and slapped everyone on the street is now half dead, not to mention manipulating the space interference vector, and now it doesn't even have the ability to struggle and move.

It was also thanks to the ancient weapon's competition with the hole of plane erosion throughout the whole process that the various damages caused by the fusion experiment of the red dragon could not be expanded to another level.

The red dragon, which shrunk a few times, landed on the fallen trunk of the ancient war tree. It used its sharp claws to cut open its thick skin along the scorched scars, and studied the internal structure of its various parts.

There are complicated lines of magic power in the ancient war tree, and its main vein structure is somewhat similar to the elemental veins that Red Dragon used to cut trees to see.

Considering that the large woods on this plane are very likely to be born from the planting of this ancient war tree, the other trees are not ordinary plants, but special species that are highly related to this type of war weapon.

When the elven mage Dio came to this area, he saw that the ancient war tree he had summoned so hard was torn apart by the young red dragon, and he even swallowed his last breath.

Seeing this scene that he didn't know how to describe, the blood vessels on Dio's head couldn't help jumping, and then he took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to get back the Elven Holy Sword from Lacey who was following behind.

The legends of a team were crushed by the red dragon in their full state, and Lacey didn't worry that the only remaining Dior would dare to use any tricks, so he threw away his favorite elf holy sword.

The Holy Sword, which has a remarkable demon-breaking effect, can only be received with hands for the time being, but the mage Dio, whose physical enhancement magic has long since faded, only remembered the last attribute state of the Holy Sword when he stretched out his hand, and then he was almost sprained by the heavy, high-quality Holy Sword arm.

After staring angrily at Lacey who turned his head to look around, Dio, who put on the power-enhancing magic again, raised the holy sword and pointed forward, silently using the secret methods he knew to mobilize the hidden power in the holy sword.

Since there is a holy word on it, the status of this sword in the elves is naturally very high.

The elven race that has re-multiplied and developed in the ruins has inherited very little from the ancient elven civilization of its predecessor. Except for an initial mother tree that survived the disaster, there is even a little bit of complete inheritance in the scorched earth plane. None left.

The ancient war tree in the spontaneous grazing forest, the elven holy sword in Dior's hand, and the branches of the world tree that do not know whether it really exists are the only remaining legacy of elven civilization.

There are a lot of secrets contained in the holy sword of elves, and it is very likely that it is a key to unlock the knowledge treasure of ancient elf civilization. The magic that Dior summons and controls ancient weapons of war came out of it by chance.

At this moment, the dilapidated ancient war tree pointed by the holy sword directly collapsed and disintegrated in Dio's secret sigh, turning into a large piece of green brilliance and blending into the surroundings. Vegetation was reborn at a visible speed, and the green quickly spread to cover the gap in the forest.

The ancient war trees have a secret connection with the woods they graze. It is not a big problem to say that the continuous forest of this plane is a super-large magic circle. Let the ancient war trees that have lost their own structure turn into pure elemental energy to feed back this The huge and incomparable magic circle can be regarded as returning it to its roots.

After witnessing this spectacular scene of plant growth, the red dragon, who stood quietly on the spot, shook its wings, then raised its claws and pulled some vine branches from its head, neck and other places.

The three elves, who reached out to grab some vine branches to hitch a ride among the soaring plants, soon came to the red dragon.

Standing still, Dio looked up at the juvenile red dragon several times taller than him, and took a look at its weird sitting posture supported by its tail and legs, and its calm aura that was completely different from ordinary red dragons.

Then he sighed softly and said, "This time we lost. My name is Dio, the president of the Elven Kingdom's Mage Association. Dare to ask your name? What do you want?"

"Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble to communicate so politely earlier?"

The red dragon let out a low laugh, got down on all fours and lowered the height of his head while breathing hotly.

"My name." Recalling what Lacey said, the world's wonderful information about real names, Red Dragon continued after a pause, "You can just call me Kasa, as for what I want? Satisfy a little bit Curiosity and curiosity."

"Casa. Curious for knowledge." Dio pondered for a while after hearing the words. He recalled what he had learned from Lacey about the strange symposium between her and the Red Dragon. Behavior quickly guessed something.

——The body of this red dragon must have been forcibly occupied by someone's reincarnated soul, right? It is rare for the Dragon Clan to hear of such a case.

After a subtle look at the red dragon, Dio tentatively said, "Casa is not part of your real name, is it? You haven't even been promoted to the legendary Lacey, who is not a mage who specializes in these issues. She may not be very familiar with some things about the legendary real name." clear."

"Oh? As expected of the president of the Mage Association, you should know a lot of interesting information. I am very happy to meet you here, but you should still call me Kasa—even if it is just a similar vibration ripple, my real name It may also bring some unexpected troubles.”

After completely digesting the gains brought by the gate of the Fire Elemental Plane in secret, the red dragon turned most of his attention to his eyes. He glanced at the dragon elf who came to him and touched the scales with his hands, and then looked at it with interest. Robed Dior who is not as tall as his own head:

"But I heard that the real name is closely related to the casting of magic, and the legend and the real name. Can you describe in detail the magic and the real name in your eyes?"

——Sure enough, this red dragon is not an original product. It is impossible that there is no such knowledge in the inheritance of the dragon clan. But the other party can perform soul reincarnation, so ordinary knowledge at this level should not be unknown.

Dio, who was hesitant in his heart, settled down—no matter what it was in essence, it would be easy to deal with if the other party was not the red dragon who had a deep grudge with the elves, and they, who represented the highest fighting power of the elves, had already been defeated. There aren't many options left at all.

So Dior quickly left the previous unhappiness like Red Dragon, and threw himself into pure information exchange.

The elf mage is indeed the president of the association who has taught many high-level elf mages. In his concise and concise words, Red Dragon quickly established an understanding of the world's magic system, adding the most critical piece to the foundation of the world view puzzle.

The elf Dior explained a lot of knowledge under the questioning of the red dragon, covering everything from children's common sense to cutting-edge research. The red dragon sometimes listens quietly as a good baby student, and sometimes argues endlessly with the red-faced elf.

Because the perspective of observing the problem is very different from that of all life in the local area, the red dragon who grasped many inexplicable things to get to the bottom of it, even threw the holy sword on the spot in a moment of anger.

But overall, the exchange of knowledge and information went on smoothly.

The knowledge of the legendary mage is naturally quite high-end, not to mention that Dio is also an elf mage who has traveled to other planes and has a long life. Clear the outline of the structure of the world.

Among them, the nature of magic surprised the red dragon.

The magic in this world is composed of core elements such as the real name of life, magic power, rune language, and elemental laws. The magician in the general mage's cognition is a very complicated thing, but if you make a brief analogy with the things in the inner world.

A computer can describe the so-called magic very well—the element is the substance that makes up the electronic component, the magic power is the transformed and controllable electric current, the rune language is the logical and complex software information, and the real name of life can be regarded as the operation System login account.

The magician’s spellcasting process can be generally regarded as the gathering of magic power - power on the computer, wake up the real name - log in to the account to open the system, arrange runes and magic circles - program or call the programmed program, change the element State—Causes a change in the material structure of a component.

Although this metaphor is quite crude and there are many distortions, it has generally shown that this world is somewhat similar to the virtual world constructed by pure data.

The core of this worldview lies in the real name and the operating system that comes with the real name.

According to Dior, any life has a potential real name, and by constantly digging inward to the root of self-awareness, one can obtain true and true power from the spirit, and the existence that completely controls the self and real name cognition will be recognized by everyone. The existence of the plane is honored as "Legend".

The power of the real name endows life with the ability to affect the elemental matter with will, and the use of magic power is also derived from this. Warriors generally like to continuously and deeply control their pure real name power, while mages prefer to study and amplify through magic power and rune language. The influence of one's own real name.

As for the gods and priests in some planes, that's another usage—in short, it's trying to gather more life's true name power, and use these pure powers from a higher level.

"Isn't this something like accounts and permissions? Is the underlying structure of this world really data-based?"

With the terrifying power of quantum incarnation clusters, distorting the laws of the world to build a supercomputer that is deeply rooted in the bottom layer of the world, and deriving a surface world that is no different from the inner domain through data changes, is not difficult, and it can even be said to be easy .

So although the Red Dragon was a little surprised by the nature of magic, he didn't feel that this world is false. At most, he was a little bit guilty about the specific purpose of the high-dimensional life behind this world to create this world.

However, things like real names seem to be deeply related to the part of the thinking carrier that does not exist in the body that was discovered during the soul experiment of the Red Dragon. Maybe that part does not know which underlying database account table is in the soul. It's the so-called real name.

——I just don’t know what is the standard for judging the real name of life registration in this world. Elves and stones are composed of elements. How complicated is the information to be considered life?

After learning some basic and complete rune language from Diona, the Red Dragon, who felt that he had returned to his old job as a programmer, shook his head and sighed for a while, then tried to use this kind of language that has great relevance to mathematics, modeling, programming and other subjects. The rune language described a simple magic circle.

As the magic circle randomly drawn by the dragon claws on the ground surged with magic power and began to run, a burst of icy aura, which was extremely difficult for the red dragon to achieve with its original magic power, spread out, and the surrounding plant branches and leaves suddenly had a faint of water vapor.

Lacey, who was very close to the red dragon, looked at this scene with admiration—she had tried to learn magic in the past, but she was confused by a series of complicated theories and formulas, and finally had to give up.

The red dragon, which has been proven to have no foundation, can actually understand and successfully release a magic in a very short period of time. This kind of learning speed and control ability is unique even among the elves.

Dio, who was convinced that the other party was a reincarnated person, was not very surprised by this, but the next behavior of the red dragon made him feel horrified.

The red dragon who successfully used a basic magic cold technique stood up after a long meditation, and the vast magic power that made the elves feel oppressed was exuded from his body, and countless delicate and complicated rune circles slowly emerged on his body.

Dio's familiar and unfamiliar magic arrays constantly flashed around the red dragon's body. In the process of rapid changes from simple to difficult, an extremely efficient way of exploring magic was clearly displayed in front of Dio.

Starting from the basic magic such as water, fire, earth, wind, etc., the rune grammar array flashing around the red dragon is continuously iteratively expanded under its soul deduction that is as precise as a computer. With the help of similar insights and routines in other worlds in the past, he is very Soon, a large number of rune language rules were discovered.

However, after the deduction process reached a certain level, the red dragon stopped by itself.

Because many subsequent things that cannot be directly derived from the known need a lot of experimental verification, Red Dragon had to temporarily put the deduction work on hold after blowing up its claws twice, rotting a pair of dragon wings, and overloading its brain several times——

He was afraid that some excessive experiments would affect a few elves, or accidentally kill himself.

However, during the deduction process, the red dragon also discovered a very interesting thing-in every corner of his dragon body, from the cells to the scales, there are rune words that seem to be born with patterns, which seems to be a normal giant dragon. The power inherited by blood, but he only discovered and learned how to use it until now.

Aside from this part of the huge harvest, the red dragon also dug out some hidden things from his body by relying on his ability to continuously upgrade many times-something that was inexplicably embedded in his body when the hole of the plane was closed before.

Twirling a strand of condensed flame extracted from the body, the red dragon stretched out its claws to Dio, who was in deep thought after seeing something, and asked him, "Do you know what this is?"
