Chapter 183: Innocent Children Can only Grow up Through Pain (First Update)

Hathaway raised her beautiful pale golden eyes.

"Light a...new sun?"

She spoke softly.

With confusion and a little longing.

That was indeed her own wish.

As a high elf who grew up on the Lost Island since childhood, this small island and the royal court are Hathaway's world.

She did not have the ambition to return to the Western Continent like the elders of the Council, so that the elves would once again be as powerful as they were during the Elven King's Court in the Glory Era, and once again stand on the top of the continent.

From beginning to end, Hathaway’s wish——

It's all just to make this dark island a little brighter.

Let the eyes of the people in the Lost Island who are accustomed to darkness be able to see clearly the majestic sea, the majestic whole of the royal court, and each other's faces.

As long as this is the case, she will be satisfied enough.

But soon, the golden elf lowered his head in disappointment again.

"Teacher Xia Ya, you really know how to joke."

She could understand that Xia Ya wanted to comfort herself.

after all--

If you want to spread arcana and magic among the elves on the Lost Island, let them completely let go of the dirty power that comes from their blood.

Possess the ability to face the fallen sun and escape from the Lost Island.

This is destined to be an extremely long and extremely difficult process.

The power of blood is the cornerstone of the Elf clan's existence. If the clansmen are willing to abolish it and turn to a new path with a bright future, there will be many obstacles and opposition.

Hathaway is even ready to spend her whole life doing this.

Even though the long wait will disappoint Xia Ya, she will eventually choose to leave.

But……

Compared to his own thoughts, what Xia Ya said was truly a fantasy.

"Light up a...new sun."

That is an authority beyond the gods——

In the Age of Glory, the supreme Creator was known as the Sun God.

Even though the glory of the Glory Era has faded, the aftermath still shakes the entire main material plane and has not dissipated after thousands of years.

Even if Hathaway still has confidence in the boy next to her and knows that Char as a wizard is not everything to him, she does not think that Char can have power beyond that of the Creator.

"So, Hathaway."

"You should have some confidence in your teacher."

Xia calmly touched his master's head again, with a smile that looked like a kidnapping of an underage and ignorant girl.

This kind of opportunity to take advantage of your own teacher is extremely rare. Touching it once means losing it once, so you have to cherish it.

"Someone once told me—"

"Since you have chosen to embark on the path of a wizard, you should put aside all the awe of the past, leaving only a pure heart of seeking."

"Use arcane magic, known rules and legal principles to analyze all the phenomena in this world."

"Whether it's a dead thing or a living thing... or a god, it's the same."

Xia Ya's words paused slightly.

"The authority called the stars is not exclusive to the original Creator."

"As long as you know the legal principles, it may not be impossible for you, me, or any wizard to touch it."

"With our current status, we are indeed unable to reach the size of the Sun God, let alone create a star that lights up the entire Western Continent."

"But if we just illuminate this lost island... that can still be done."

While talking, Xia Ya took out a small furnace heart from his arms.

Hathaway could tell that it was some kind of magic prop made of metal and spell formations.

Inscribed in it was a mysterious spell model that she had never heard of or seen before.

"This is the product of analyzing the principles of star movement and embodying it into an exact spell model."

"I named it - "Solar Furnace". "

Xia Ya handed the small, dim furnace heart in his hand to the girl in front of him.

"My mental power is restricted on the Lost Island, and I cannot mobilize magic power on a large scale."

"Try to imbue this heart with magic, Hathaway."

The golden elf took the small magic furnace heart from Char's hand and looked at it carefully.

Quite unremarkable.

Can the power of the sun's movement really reside in this small heart of the furnace?

A trace of confusion arose in her heart.

However, out of trust in Char, Hathaway nodded obediently and stretched out her white fingers.

Intangible light gathers at the fingertips.

The new power called magic that originated from the star realm and could be mobilized according to her will after several months of adaptation——

Infused into the heart of that dim magical furnace.

next moment--

boom.

The golden elf's beautiful pale golden eyes suddenly widened.

At this moment, she heard the roar of the magic factor in the heart of the furnace.

It's not a low-level trick like "Flash Technique".

Instead, there really was a tiny blazing sun, suddenly shining brightly in the heart of the furnace made of alloy and magic array patterns.

Obviously, the magic power she injected into the magic furnace core was only the magic power of a second or third ring spell, and at most it would be exhausted by releasing a "Big Fireball".

But at this moment.

There was light and heat far beyond the limit of the second or third ring spell, released from the magic furnace core.

The bright and brilliant light burst out from the magic furnace core, pouring into her vision like a tide.

It illuminated the quiet and dark beach, and also illuminated the dark sea.

Although she had lived on the Lost Island for hundreds of years, this was the first time Hathaway saw the full view of this beach and sea.

Under the brilliance of the magic furnace core, the vast and boundless sea surface was all shimmering with waves.

Tens of millions of tons of seawater were slowly rippling in the faint light, like a dim sea of ​​stars, rising and falling.

The shadows of the golden elves and humans intertwined in the slanting light, reflected on the beach behind them, infinitely stretched.

Hathaway did not speak for a few minutes.

She was just immersed in the scenery in front of her, which was like the afterglow of the sunset, and remained silent for a long time.

Until a certain moment, the magic power that had been injected into the furnace core burned out, and the magic furnace core went out.

The curtain of eternal night replaced the brief light, and once again enveloped the beach and the sea.

"Teacher Xia, this is what you said..."

"The new sun?"

The golden elf's eyes still stayed on the sea, even though it had returned to darkness at this moment.

"Yeah."

Xia played with the magic furnace core that had dimmed again.

"The core you used before is just a miniaturized portable solar furnace that I use to power the Black Knight mecha."

"And if it is enlarged according to similar principles."

"Then, it can become a new light source that illuminates this island under the curtain of eternal night."

Hathaway's originally dim eyes--

With Char's words, the light gradually re-lit up.

The feedback of her spiritual intuition told her.

This is not an unfounded pie--

but a real reality.

This island of eternal night can really usher in the day when it is illuminated by the sun again.

...

Char stood aside, calmly watching the golden elf with joyful eyes.

He didn't speak in the past few minutes, but he was not intoxicated by this moment of light.

Since Char was born, he has been bathed in the sun every day, so although he can understand Hathaway's feelings at this moment, he has never personally experienced the persistence in the darkness for hundreds of years, so it is difficult to truly empathize.

Just now, the moment the solar furnace was lit.

He vaguely sensed it.

In the center of the Lost Island, on the towering ancient tree.

There was a certain ancient and lofty will, which slightly lowered its sight.

Although there was no other ripples, Char was sure.

His arrival and the magic core that had just been lit had been noticed by the ancient will.

"Because it had sensed an authority that was similar to its own, or even completely the same, it finally became a little restless."

"It was only because of the great constraints and restrictions that it was so calm just now, but was ready to mobilize the chess pieces it controlled to interfere?"

Char suppressed the ripples in his heart.

He had discovered the location of the will sleeping in the trunk of the World Tree from the beginning.

And all of Char's previous actions were to attract the other party's attention.

He was not afraid of His coming, but was afraid that He would not come.

Char did not know how long he could stay in the remnants of the history of the First Epoch, so he naturally could not keep wasting away like this.

The Lost Island had been sinking in the darkness for too long and could not withstand consumption.

The only way is to completely intensify all the potential problems and conflicts on this island.

Then, quickly solve everything with a sharp knife.

However, such a future may not develop as the golden elf girl wishes at this moment.

"Let's go, Teacher Xia, I will take you to the royal court."

"If you want to make such an expansion that can illuminate the magic furnace core of the entire Lost Island, then you can't do without the support of other tribesmen."

"I think everyone in the royal court will definitely welcome your arrival."

The charming voice sounded in Xia's ears, with a little impatience.

Xia looked at the golden elf in front of him.

It was a figure completely different from Hathaway, the "Eternal Page" of the future, and it also had a little immaturity that belonged to a girl.

"Innocent and immature children, can only truly grow up after experiencing pain?"

Xia sighed in his heart and held the white little hand.

"Lead the way."
