Chapter 877 The Origin of Magic

The feeling of nervousness and anticipation rarely appeared to Katarina, or it could be said that this feeling had only appeared once before.

It was her first assassination mission, and she wanted to show her father the results of her more than ten years of training, but the result was not wonderful. She messed up everything and made her father give up on her. She even sent assassins to eliminate him. Shameful work.

After that time, she truly had the cold heart that a top assassin should have, but now, after coming to Noxus Academy of Magic again after half a month, her mood was quite ups and downs.

How is the magic dagger going?

She didn't think that Sewell would tease her, nor did she think that the chief craftsman of the dignified Philos family would fail to create several magic daggers. She was even looking forward to the magical effects of the daggers.

When Swain asked her what she thought of Ji Xing, apart from the 'terrible' comment, she actually had another sentence hidden in her throat.

‘It feels very similar to you. ’

He's the kind of guy who's omnipotent, as deep as the sea, and can't see through the depths at all!

And she always trusted her instincts.

Adjusting her emotions, she walked into the academy's magic equipment building and walked up to the third floor. She didn't know where to find Ji Xing, so she could only go to the third-level person who was responsible for making the magic dagger for her first. Mage Eugenie.

"Humph, are you here?"

Eugenie didn't have a good opinion of her. Catalina knew it but didn't care. At the same time, she keenly noticed some indescribable 'envy and resentment' emotion on Eugenie's face today.

Her eyes then moved down and looked at Eugenie's messy mage table. The previously neat table was covered with dozens or hundreds of equipment blueprints, as well as a thick stack of material books, and the few she saw at a glance There are dagger patterns painted on them.

Was this painted for me? so much?

"Don't look, this is my research. Your dagger, Master Sewell, was made two days ago. Come with me." Eugenie got up and walked towards the corridor. She couldn't help but add as she passed Katarina. He said: "You lucky guy. Well, me too."

Catalina's crimson eyes fluctuated slightly as she asked, "Is the dagger sharp?"

Eugenie glanced at her: "I thought you didn't have normal human emotions. But...sharp? Such a description is really sorry for the six daggers, and also for the drawings I drew while staying up all night for the past two days."

Catalina looked at her, and Eugenie shrugged and said, "I think it is an artifact. Perhaps due to the limitations of materials and size, it is not as powerful as those legendary holy objects, but for a magic equipment master , is an out-and-out artifact. Each dagger is enchanted with seven kinds of magic by Master Sevier. I have witnessed all this with my own eyes, but until now I still don’t know how Master Sevier did it.

Well, this is also the homework that Master Sewell left for me. If I can reverse the drawings, Master Sewell will teach me more things. It has been five or six years since I attended the regular magic classes taught by the old mages in the academy. Alas, it is really difficult to pick up the mentality of an apprentice again. "

Although she said this, Catalina could clearly capture the expectation and motivation on Eugenie's face, and whispered: "Seven kinds of magic..."

"You don't understand what this means. Even General Darius's black cutter is only three-level enchanted. Although magic and magic are different... In short, you can just treat them as family heirlooms. Maybe a hundred years later. People have long forgotten you, but they can remember them.”

Katarina squeezed her fingertips, no, I will become a great assassin that the world will never forget.

But she had to admit that her anticipation for the dagger had reached its peak at this moment.

Arriving at the door of the workshop at the deepest part of the magic equipment department, a pair of magic apprentices were guarding the door. Yogni looked at the closed door and asked in surprise and expectation: "Mage Sewell has started to create new magic weapons again? What is it?”

"Uh, Master Eugenie..."

Just as Bates was hesitant to explain, the door of the workshop opened with a creak, and a flaming breath shot out from the inner hole. Ji Xing, who appeared in Eugenie Catalina's sight, looked refreshed.

Their attention was not focused here, but more attracted by the staff carried by Ji Xing.

It was a silver staff, like the mysterious tribute of moonlight falling on the world, exuding a cold and noble luster, like the Milky Way pouring down in the night sky, flowing with a faint silver brilliance.

The staff's body is slender and elegant. The middle of the staff is inlaid with a delicate pure white hex gem. The handle of the staff is wrapped with delicate silver vines, and the vines are also inlaid with some smaller sea stones. kes gem.

As one of the powerful people in the Philos family, Ji Xing has this kind of thing in his inventory.

The head of the staff is engraved with a flying silver phoenix. Its feathers are slender and gorgeous, lifelike. It is held by Ji Xing, but there is a misplaced feeling that the phoenix is ​​about to fly away from Ji Xing's palm and soar in the sky. .

"So beautiful..." Eugenie couldn't help but let out an unprofessional exclamation, but it was the best expression of her mood at the moment.

Even Katarina secretly admired that even if this kind of thing was held by a low-level mage, everyone would probably mistake him for a great guy. But when Sewell held it, his temperament was more like A natural match!

"Is this the staff you made for yourself?" Soon, Yogni came back to her senses and asked expectantly: "I feel the breath of Zhenbing and the heart of the frost troll? How many layers of magic did you add? This should It’s the best staff I’ve ever seen!”

"It's just a simple increase in spell efficiency and levitation." Ji Xing's staff tapped, and Eugenie's figure flew up as if being carried by the breeze: "Oh, and these Hex gems can improve Some explosive power.”

It was very simple to say, but Yogni, who had seen Ji Xing make a dagger with her own eyes, did not dare to take it as simple. What happened two days ago was not so easy to forget.

When Ji Xing was enchanting, she kept asking people nearby to shout, ‘No, Master Sewell’, ‘It’s too much, it’s going to break’, ‘Stop it quickly’…

The results of it? Ji Xing is now the 'God of Magic Craftsmen' in her heart, on the same level as Ornn, the legendary demigod of the Freljord Mountain Hidden Flame!

After falling back to the ground, she glanced at the outsider Catalina and didn't ask any further questions.

Ji Xing turned around and walked back to the workshop. He quickly came back dragging a plate of daggers with one hand and said to Katarina: "Let's go to the equipment testing area to tell you the characteristics of the new daggers."

Catalina looked down.

Compared to the extremely gorgeous staff in Ji Xing's hand, the six daggers in the tray are ordinary, even dark and a bit ugly.

This strong sense of gap made her subconsciously disappointed. Then she remembered that this is what an assassin's weapon should look like. She took the tray and picked up a dagger, her movements stagnant slightly.

So comfortable.

No, it's very convenient.

It felt like someone with a mutilated limb had found her arm. The size and shape of the dagger seemed to fit her palm prints, as if it was something growing out of her hand!

She thought of Ji Xing's measurement of the length of her arms and palms half a month ago, and knew that this was probably not a magical effect, but just the skill of a craftsman!

The road to the equipment testing area became a bit long, and when we finally arrived, Ji Xing said: "Master Yogni told you that I have added seven levels of magic to these daggers, one by one, starting with the most basic one - the blood contract. "

Catalina was startled and asked in surprise: "Do you even understand the blood magic of the Scarlet Secret Society?"

The Scarlet Secret Society is an ancient magic society in Noxus. Because it is easier to get started, even ordinary people without talent can master one or two blood magics. It is very powerful among high-ranking officials and nobles, but under Katarina's In my memory, my father seemed to be a little repelled and wary of this.

"A little bit involved." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I read some information in the library."

Catalina nodded, and without hesitation, she cut her forearm and let the blood soak into the six daggers - well, the so-called blood contract magic is 'recognize the owner with a drop of blood'.

After completing this operation, Catalina felt that her coordination with the dagger in her hand had strengthened. Even when she closed her eyes, she could clearly grasp where they were!

"The second type is rapid thunder and lightning."

No need for Ji Xing to explain in detail, Katarina naturally knew how to use it. She looked at the target in the distance, and without hesitation used the blood contract to activate the basic elemental magic, then threw the dagger away with her hand.

The dagger disappeared instantly, leaving only a trace of electric arc dancing in the air. The next moment, it penetrated the target made of steel!

"The third type is the breath of demon destruction."

Catalina recognized it and threw the dagger at another target as before.

The flying speed of the dagger was not as fast as before, but the moment it touched the target, flames of destruction erupted from the front end. The steel was instantly burned and a few drops of molten iron dripped down, making a sizzling sound, and the dagger also penetrated into the target!

If I have this when fighting Camille, I can easily burn through... Katarina, who was in agitated mood, couldn't help but think, and then remembered who the person who made the dagger for herself was, and shook off this impolite Feeling.

"The fourth type is the wind of freedom."

After a blood magic, there are three elemental magics in a row. It seems that Master Sevier is very good at elemental magic? Catalina thought, and threw the third dagger more and more skillfully.

I saw that the flying speed of this dagger was slower, but Catalina felt that she could control it from the air to speed up, slow down, and even turn!

Not very skillfully, she made the dagger circle in the air and hit the target from behind. It did not penetrate the target and landed with a clang, but the effect was surprisingly high-quality!

"The fifth type, the latent shadow blade."

This time Catalina was finally stunned for a moment. Under Ji Xing's guidance, she felt the magic, but she didn't know how to use it for a moment. She heard Ji Xing say: "Put a dagger in the place where you usually put it, and then go Activate this magic."

Katarina did as she was told, the way she always placed her weapons was no more than at her waist.

After she placed the dagger, the dagger began to change color visibly to the naked eye, gradually becoming the same as her healthy skin color, and even faintly transparent.

Eugenie next to her couldn't be sure if there was something there even if she looked intently!

"Color-changing magic that adapts to the environment?"

"It can be understood that way." Ji Xing said: "It is similar to a chameleon. Since it is an assassin's equipment, maybe it can be used."

That's great. Katarina secretly thought, taking a deep breath, this is a special type of magic, right? And it's not a basic magic like blood contract! I seem to have never heard of this kind of magic. Isn’t Sevier a natural awakener of magic? How much magic does he have?

"The sixth type, summoning blade." Ji Xing continued: "Pick up a dagger, sense the three you threw out, and try to activate it."

...Summon? Could it be? !

Katarina's heart was churning, and she picked up a dagger to sense and activate this magic.

The next moment, the three daggers thrown out when testing elemental magic appeared in front of her in an instant. She was quick-eyed and caught with her other hand, and couldn't help staring at the three daggers and fell silent.

It's really a summoning magic. The existence of this magic means that I can use these six daggers in a battle!

At this moment, Katarina felt that she could throw away the two main weapons. With these six daggers, her combat ability has been improved tenfold!

Oh, there is even...

"The seventh one, the Blade of Brain Control."

Ji Xing said: "This magic can't be tested now, let me tell you about the effect. Stab the dagger into the target's body, use this magic, and the target will listen to your instructions for a short time. As for the specific length of time, it depends on the target's willpower and mental state."

Katerina felt a little panic.

This... can be called an assassin's magic skill.

Assassins sometimes have to perform not only assassination missions, but also steal certain secrets. If they can get the target to cooperate, it will save a lot of effort!

One kind of blood magic, three kinds of elemental magic, one kind of special magic, one kind of summoning magic, plus one kind of...spiritual magic?

Six daggers, so strong that she felt a little unreal, no wonder Eugenie called them artifacts! Even if its maximum effect is not as good as those legendary weapons, Randon's Omen, Triphase Power, but it is an artifact in the hands of an assassin!

No flaws, wonderful to the extreme!

Eugeni looked at this woman who was like a cold-blooded animal and had made things difficult for her and fell into a trance, and was very satisfied. That's right, humph, I was like this two days ago!

Damn, you got it easy!

She looked at Ji Xing and hesitated: "Master Seville, I have repeatedly drawn the blueprint of this dagger these two days, and there are two things I can't figure out. Does the summoning blade magic overlap with the blood contract magic? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to produce the effect of space movement. There is also spiritual magic such as the brain blade. Maybe it's because I have never touched it, and I feel that the circuit is very strange..."

"That's not spiritual magic, it's necromancy, the direction is wrong." Ji Xing smiled.

"...Ah?" Eugenie stared in shock.

"As for the former, the judgment is correct, but not completely correct. There are overlapping parts between these seven kinds of magic, just like tightly locked circles, each one passes through the others, and if any one is missing, it is incomplete."

As the changes in the magic power in the body gradually stabilized in the past two days, Ji Xing already knew what he was about to or was touching.

The origin of magic.

Something called "World Rune"!

There was no life or magic in the Rune Continent. It was the emergence of runes in each world that gave rise to countless lives and numerous magics!

Thousands of magics, the origin is one.

Katarina's six daggers were his initial confirmation test of the origin, and the staff in his hand was the expansion of his "minor success in the origin"!

There were indeed only levitation and spell amplification magic on it, but each of them was added 32 times by Ji Xing, and the flight speed would break the speed of sound, and the degree of amplification of the spell... exceeded 400%!

This is the real artifact!
