100 Saleen Metatrinâs Journey
New calendar.
First Era, year 3010
âIâve come to the shadow lizard bloodline Warlockâs territory. The environment here is not bad, and there are many interesting materials.
âIâve fused with the bloodline of a shadow magic beast, so those warlocks canât see any difference at all. They only think that Iâm the same kind as them. On the surface, I get along well with them, but in my heart, I look down on these warlocks who have completely lost their will to explore the truth.
âTheyâre no longer worthy of being called Mages.â
The first page of the journal seemed to be about Saleen metatrin coming to a new place.
But what did he mean?
Warlocks should only be a type of Mages, so why would Saleen say that they had lost their will to explore the truth?
It was a little strange, and Eli didnât quite understand.
Eli continued to read.
âOh, I heard that there were a small mageâs ruins nearby. It might be the ruins of the Academy here. Maybe I can find something good there.
âAlright, that place is completely abandoned and has been searched. Thereâs nothing of value. Iâm disappointed.
âI heard that thereâs a small mage organization here today. Iâm so surprised that thereâs a mage organization here. I want to find them. I need more knowledge.
âI secretly participated in their exchange meeting. Itâs really great. This feeling of knowledge clashing!â
Between the lines, Eli could also feel the changes in Saleenâs mind.
First, he explored the ruins, and then he found a Mage organization and participated in an exchange meeting.
Everything seemed normal, but it didnât make any sense.
Why was he so happy to find out that there was a small mage organization? But didnât he just join a shadow warlockâs group? Were mages and warlocks different?
âItâs so strange!â Eli frowned.
The diary had stunned him from the start. This was also the reason why he had no understanding of the Mageâs World at all. How should he put it? The world seemed to be a little different from what Eli had imagined.
Curious, Eli continued to read.
What happened next was mostly about what happened in the warlockâs territory, including some temporary camps, explorations, research, and so on.
Everything seemed normal, but why did Eli feel a faint sense of caution?
It seemed that Saleen was afraid of being exposed, so he had always appeared as a Warlock by infusing his life force with a shadow bloodline. However, something happened later.
âYear 3015 of the first era. Damn it, with the increase in my mental power, and my lifespan is flowing away faster. Damn it. I have to think of something.
âAlright, I had no other choice. Perhaps I should have chosen the path of a Warlock from the start. Although I chose to advance to a Mage and then fuse with a Warlockâs bloodline, which was indeed stronger, I also lost many things that warlocks could have. Itâs a pity that I didnât understand the drawbacks of a Mage at that time. No. Itâs not the drawbacks of being a mage but the drawbacks of this world.
âIf I donât want to die, I donât have much of a choice. I can either walk the dark path and continue advancing until I break through to the second ring. At that time, my life force will increase once more, or I can choose some other method.â
Will the increase in mental power increase the loss of life force?
Up to this point, Eli deeply understood that something was definitely wrong.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Why would the increase in mental power consume vitality at a faster rate? It was simply ridiculous.
This didnât follow any rules at all!
âSomethingâs not right. There must be some common knowledge that I donât know.â Eli knew that there was a problem, but he didnât know where the problem was.
Saleen Metatrin did not write down the reason for this in his log.
Eli took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.
Since there wasnât anything, he would have to analyze it himself.
Saleenâs log mentioned the advancement to a Warlock and the integration of bloodlines after the advancement.
Through his previous studies, Eli also knew the difference between the two.
The former was to integrate the bloodline directly when advancing to the first circle. After that, the main focus would be to explore the bloodline talent spell. Most of the time, this talent would force the mage to give up other aspects, especially the elemental ones. After all, the bloodline would directly affect the mageâs connection to the elements.
However, there were also benefits. This would allow him to completely inherit the power of his bloodline, and his lifespan would also be greatly increased, far exceeding that of ordinary mages.
The second method was to use the bloodline as a tool. It would not be too different from the first method. However, the mages wouldnât have any bloodline warlock talent, and their lifespan wouldnât increase.
The former was like a heretic among mages, relying on the power of blood and not having a strong desire for knowledge, while the latter was digging for knowledge.
There was a saying that described it this way.
The power of a Warlock came from their bloodline, while the power of a wizard came from knowledge.
However, the Warlocks in the log seemed to be even more extreme. Saleen criticized them as having completely lost the will to explore the truth, which was very strange.
Saleen also mentioned a fault with the world.
Eli had a faint feeling that something might have gone wrong with this world.
âIs there a problem with this world?â Eli was also taken aback by his own idea. After all, it was too whimsical and even outrageous.
âI donât think so. No, itâs fine.â Eliâs thoughts were a mess.
In fact, he just realized that he knew nothing about this world.
His exploration of this world was still limited to the Bryne Empire and other mortal worlds. However, what about the mageâs world? Or did it even exist?
This was an unknown.
âForget it. Letâs continue reading.â He knew there was a problem, but he wouldnât solve anything, so he decided to continue reading.
âI participated in the blood sacrifice of the warlocks. They seemed to want to exchange life force with an unknown existence through this method. Iâm against this idea because true mages should be the ones who pursue the truth.
âBut I still agreed in the end.
âThe blood sacrifice has begun. Damn it. Weâve been discovered.
âThe warlocks discovered our âevilâ conduct, and we were hunted down. Fortunately, I managed to escape.
âThis group of warlocks seemed to be troubled by the loss of life force, so they used blood sacrifice.â
At this moment, Eli didnât want to think too much. He decided to wait until he finished watching.
âIâve escaped,
âI reached zero circle too late back then, and my life force was indeed not enough.
âbut I found a secret plane of the four circles celestial sorcerer Antonio from 5000 years ago. The location is in the West, a place called the southern desert. There are no sorcerers willing to go to that place for a long time. Itâs a barren land.
âThese are the mages who remained after the great catastrophe. I heard that the secret celestial plane could also slow down the speed of the loss of life, and there may be some celestial mageâs remains inside. It is said that there is a life-prolonging spirit grass there as well. I have decided to go.â
