Every magician has his or her own area of ​​expertise. Bei Gaoyang's area of ​​expertise is [Biological Magic]. It was only later that he invented the [Magic Cloning] technique, which led to the current scene at Novo University.

Similarly, Nicholas Kay Aldridge, the former 7th-level mage and now the lich, also has his own area of ​​expertise, which is soul magic.

This seems to be nonsense. Liches are naturally good at soul magic. Soul magic is a huge category. Nicholas is best at a small branch of it, called: psionic power.

Simply described, it is a magical discipline that uses the soul to control energy and matter.

"He's coming!"

Xiao Ai's reminder made Bei Gaoyang stop what he was doing, and he understood who this "he" was without any further explanation.

The guest appeared outside the door of the mage tower, wearing a dark cloak with two purple flames burning in the deep hood. There seemed to be no entity in the cloak, as if there was only air. The strange, mysterious and powerful aura attracted people as soon as it appeared.

Many players stopped and watched.

"Let him in!"

The door on the first floor of the Mage Tower was opened, and Nicholas nodded slightly and walked in calmly like a frequent guest.

The two great mages met in the living room on the first floor of the wizard tower. From the fluctuations in his soul, Bei Gaoyang recognized who he was.

"Is that you, Teacher Fisher?"

"The name Fisher has not been used for a long time." Nicholas took the lead in making a mage salute, "I have been optimistic about you from the beginning, the most talented and creative student of the Secret Academy, but your achievements today are still far beyond

Anticipation... Salute to you, Lord Archmage Rumsfeld!"

"Salute to you, His Excellency Archmage Fisher Kay Aldrich."

The two archmages greeted each other politely, and Bei Gaoyang spread his hands, "So, it's you who is secretly coveting my property, right?"

"Rumsfire, do you still remember that little invention that allowed you to be promoted to an official mage?"

Bei Gaoyang frowned slightly, "Of course I remember."

"Haha, when people get old, they always like to recall the past. Let's sit down and have a good talk. I appear alone in your mage tower. What are you worried about?"

This is not necessarily the case... Bei Gaoyang muttered quietly and asked the guests to sit on the leather sofa from the earth.

Nicholas then looked at the furnishings in the living room and marveled at the scenery from the earth. He also stretched out a pair of delicate and white hands like a girl from his cloak and touched the texture of the leather sofa.

Seeing these hands, Bei Gaoyang's eyelids jumped because he smelled a familiar smell, similar to the player's, a bit like something created by his own [Magic Cloning Technique].

Sure enough, Nicholas lifted his hood, revealing a young, smooth head with eyes replaced by two purple soul flames. This head gave people a strong sense of horror and awkwardness, just like a thousand-year-old corpse.

Fresh skin and flesh are revealed, but the corpse odor accumulated over thousands of years cannot be removed.

"I only learned a little bit and made you laugh." Nicholas said.

Bei Gaoyang raised his eyebrows and did not bother about being secretly learned a unique skill. He said: "What do you want to talk about, or what do you want to get from me? Teacher Fisher?"

"Nicholas Kay Aldrich, don't mention the name Fisher again, something bad may happen."

"Okay then, Sir Nicholas?"

"You haven't answered my last question yet. Do you still remember your first little invention?"

"Of course I remember."

"Haha, that morning, your mentor, uh... what's his name, was as excited as a child. He took your little invention and showed off in my office what a talented and creative apprentice he had. Then

Back then, I was still a human being, and I still had a little bit of jealousy, so I complimented him against his will... Well, it seems like what happened yesterday."

Bei Gaoyang: "..."

"From that time on, I started to pay attention to you, but then the secret court was destroyed, and we old guys went on the run. From then on, we were separated in different directions. When I heard your name again, you were already a famous mid-level mage. That

At that time, you were not 25 years old, right?"

"……Yes."

"I became a beginner at the age of 14, an intermediate at the age of 24, and a high-level mage at the age of 30. He has amazing talents and unprecedented talents... I originally wanted to have a good chat with you, but time is not forgiving.

Long-term displacement and excessive use of power brought my life to an end, and I had to transform myself into a lich..."

"Well...what exactly do you want to say?"

"Don't worry, young man. I only have two hours of waking time every day. I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Two hours...Fei...Teacher Nicholas, is the erosion of the abyss already so serious?"

"Yes, even if I transform into a lich, I can't escape my final fate. Haha, I come from the abyss and return to the abyss. To a certain extent, the church's accusation is correct. Magic and arcana are essentially the abyss corroding the material world.

A plague, we are a group of deformed and depraved people infected by the plague..."

"How is that possible? It shouldn't have been long since you transformed into a lich, right?"

"Some small mistakes have occurred. This is not the point. The point is, Rumsfeld, my former student, only you can help me now."

Bei Gaoyang leaned back and moved himself closer to the soft sofa, "You think too highly of me, His Excellency Nicholas Kay Aldrich. I don't have such great ability to compete with the abyss for a person who has long been marked."

soul."

"You can do it, at least the Book of Canaan can."

Book of Canaan?

The most sensitive string in Bei Gaoyang's heart was plucked, but the question came. The name "Book of Canaan" was chosen by himself later. How did this old guy know about it?

"It's strange, isn't it? I didn't say [Book of Curses] or [The Whisper of the Blasphemer], but I used a name that only you should know."

"What's this?" The smile on Bei Gaoyang's face disappeared, and the hypocritical politeness was replaced by a coldness. "I can only say that this name is more in line with the mysterious underlying rules, so it is known to you."

"Yes, mystery, indescribable mystery, the mystery originating from Gaia's consciousness, the mystery of chaos, the root of everything..."

"Rumsfield, do you know the origin of the Book of Canaan?"

Bei Gaoyang was extremely vigilant, "Is it important?"

"It's very important. Not many people in this world know it. It's about a truth, the truth of this world."

"...Are you prepared to trade it?"

"No, it's free."

"Then I'll listen to it for free!"

"Haha...you are such a cute young man...Okay, let's start from the barbaric period before the Ragnarok Conference was born."

"According to legend..."

"According to legend?"

"You know, I can't use a definite tone. I don't want to be targeted by something inexplicable."

"Okay, continue."

"According to legend, at the beginning of the birth of the universe, there was a Creation Spirit. No one knew what it was or what type of life it was... The original universe was like a bathtub with countless bubbles in it, and the Creation Spirit

The spirit is the person lying in the bathtub taking a bath."

"This metaphor is really... very vivid."

"Bubbles are the countless planes that make up the world of Canaan. One day, the creation spirit felt 'bored' and 'collapsed'. The body, flesh, soul, internal organs, etc., turned into a group of innate demons.

"

"Innate Demon God?"

"They are born divine and can freely write and change any rules that make up Canaan. They are so powerful that they are almost equal to the universe itself."

"The matter and energy of the universe are materials that they can draw and change at will. Or do they start the process of creation just because they are 'bored'?"

"They change the entire 'bathtub' according to their own thoughts and imaginations, carefully decorating and embellishing every bubble (plane). This is how the original world came about."

"What happened next?"

"Later, they began to use themselves as prototypes to create primitive life forms of different forms."

"Genesis?"

"Haha, you have studied this course. Yes, it is the book of Genesis, the true history that the gods and the church hated."

"Well...it's quite interesting."

"According to legend, the Book of Canaan comes from one of the demon gods. I don't know the name of this demon god. I can only describe him by taking a drop of water from thousands of angles and ingredients. His name is: Siming."

Bei Gaoyang: "..."

"It makes sense, isn't it? Don't worry, this demon god has fallen for a long time, and his mark has long been assimilated by the abyss."

Bei Gaoyang's voice became a little hoarse, "Keep talking!"

"The life created by the devil cannot be a mortal thing. There were no human beings at that time. Even if there were, they must be as humble as weeds in the cracks of the wall, with no sense of existence."

"The Titans, dragons, and mind flayers we are familiar with are all part of the lineage of these primitive beings. That period was also called the Age of Miracles. Miracles, miraculous lives, miraculous creations, and miraculous creations existed everywhere.

Mountains, rivers, geography, etc.”

"How was all this destroyed later? How was the world order transferred from the innate demon to the gods?"

"Haha, do you know the origin of orcs?"

Bei Gaoyang nodded.
