"I really don't know where this guy learned so many strange magic tricks."
However, she still kept a close eye on Ye Shanming's movements. What was going to happen next was the most important thing. She could learn Ye Shanming's understanding and control of magic, which was a rare lesson for any magician.
After walking on the water for about ten minutes, Ye Shanming finally found a suitable position. He reviewed his ideas in his mind, and after finding that there was no problem, he closed his eyes and no longer suppressed his magical power.
The released magic power whipped up a strong wind, and the previously calm lake began to surge with huge waves. Waves several meters high broke on the shore. Licht hurriedly gave orders:
"Everyone step back, don't get swept away by the waves!"
Ye Shanming's magic power was boiling. He pressed his right hand on the lake surface, and a palm-sized magic circle expanded wildly. In the blink of an eye, it had covered most of the lake. In Aura's perception, he was like the sun formed by magic power, and it was impossible to look directly at him.
"This guy's magic power is stronger than it was thirty years ago."
Aura placed her small hand on her forehead, and Ye Shanming's figure was just a small black dot in her sight.
Magic that controls the earth!
The ground was rolling, huge waves were surging, and it seemed as if an unknown giant beast was stirring in the lake. Rows of waves as high as seven or eight meters rushed towards the shore with the force of a tidal wave.
Aura quickly slapped her hands on the ground and cast the same magic to control the earth. Under the effect of the magic, the soil gathered into a wall as hard as steel, forming an upside-down bowl, wrapping herself and the children together.
"boom!"
The waves hit the earthen bowl, splashing brilliant water in the sun. The huge impact force caused dense cracks to appear on the earthen bowl. However, before she could repair it, the next huge wave hit again.
Aula gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold on. After who knows how many rounds of huge waves, she finally did not wait for a new round of impact. The earthen bowl shattered. She supported herself on the ground with her hands, gasping for breath, and her forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat.
"Wow!"
The children's screams reached her ears, she looked up and saw a shocking scene.
A neat piece of land with a radius of more than ten miles suddenly appeared in the center of the originally clear blue lake. The lake water that was brought up flowed back into the lake from the edge, forming spectacular waterfalls. The stirred water splashed in the air and turned into light rain, falling down.
Ye Shanming has not stopped inputting magic power. Under his control, the huge land is like a living thing, changing its shape according to his will. Lakes, streams, hills and other terrains appeared on the originally empty land. It is completely impossible to tell that this small island in the lake is a product of magic.
After completing all this, he was still not satisfied. Two earthen roads extended from both sides of the island, like the legendary stairs leading to the goddess' kingdom, and were closely connected to the lakeshore.
"Come up, this will be your new home from now on."
Ye Shanming's voice was clearly heard by the children under the magic. They cheered and, regardless of their clothes being soaked by the rain, rushed along the two avenues towards the island in the lake.
There were still many large stranded fish on the island. Licht directed the children to collect them and save them for dinner. The leftovers were dried into jerky.
"Well done."
Despite having accomplished a feat that was unimaginable for ordinary magicians, Ye Shanming acted as if nothing had happened. He came to Aura, picked up her who was already exhausted, and praised her rarely.
For a demon like her, being able to actively use magic to protect humans is quite valuable, and it also makes Ye Shanming feel that his education over the past few decades has been very successful.
Chapter 26: The Magic City of Oissast.
"Don't be ridiculous. I just think it's a waste for these people, my slaves, to die like this."
Aura looked indifferent and struggled to break free from Ye Shanming's arms.
After thinking about it, Ye Shanming still didn't say that he had actually set up a physical protective barrier on the shore in advance.
In the remaining time, the children used their own hands to build houses, and under the oppression of Ye Shanming, Aura became the best tool man. Every day he used cutting magic with a sullen face to cut down trees, which was euphemistically called "exercise your magic control ability."
It is worth mentioning that the first wooden house that the children built spontaneously was reserved for Ye Shanming and Aura to live in. They argued for several days about the design of the house. In the end, it was Licht who overcame all objections and decided on the final plan.
Finally, before the cold front from the north arrived, all the children had their own homes and were able to survive and spend the cold winter.
The children's lives gradually returned to normal. Ye Shanming did not rush to leave to find the goddess monument, but stayed for a while, preparing to teach these children magic and warrior skills.
The location of this area is too delicate, it is right at the junction of the Central Kingdom and the Northern Empire. If we leave it alone, the fate of these children will definitely not be good.
As time passed, the harsh winter finally passed. With the arrival of spring, the temperature warmed up and life on the island began to return to normal.
"Sir, this is today's breakfast. Do you need me to wake up Master Aura?"
Licht, wearing the maid uniform she had skillfully altered, bowed to Ye Shanming who had just gotten up. More than three months had passed, and with sufficient nutrition, her hair began to become shiny and she gained some weight. She was no longer as skinny as a skeleton.
"Lichte, I really don't need anyone to serve me here. I hope you can live the life you want."
Ye Shanming was somewhat helpless towards Licht, who smiled and said the same thing she had said countless times during this period:
"You saved us from hell, and this is the life I personally look forward to."
"never mind,"
Ye Shanming gave up trying to persuade her: "Go and wake Aura up. I'm going to class. You should wait a little longer so you don't get late."
"Yes."
Licht bowed and went to wake Aura up. After finishing breakfast, Ye Shanming went to the temporary school to teach magic lessons to the children.
It is called a school, but in fact it only has a large classroom and a training ground, both of which were built by him using magic. There are only two classes a day, magic in the morning and warrior skills in the afternoon. As for whether the children come or not, it is entirely up to them to volunteer.
However, since these children have all had tragic experiences and were forced to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, everyone is eager to have and protect the good life they have now, and without exception, all of them come to school.
Based on his experience of learning magic under Celia and combining it with his understanding of magic over the years, Ye Shanming teaches the basics of magic without reservation.
As for the warriors, the situation was relatively simple. He himself also learned from Kraft. Every day he just supervised them to improve their bodies and taught them some martial arts.
Time passed quietly, and the Central Kingdom and the Northern Empire seemed to have collectively forgotten him. They continued to fight each other, but there was no such thing as pushing children onto the battlefield anymore.
Apart from attending classes every day, Ye Shanming spends the rest of his time studying magic, and occasionally asks Aura to attend classes in his place.
Before he knew it, forty years had passed. The children of that time had grown up and had their own families. In order to avoid trouble caused by his own ageing, he stopped teaching in person after the children graduated, but the academy was still retained.
Originally, it was just a small island in the middle of the lake created by him, but in the past forty years, it has gradually grown to the scale of a city. Because it was created by magic, it is called the magic city Oissast by the outside world.
The school gradually gained fame. In the current era, magicians were still in the process of master-apprentice teaching. Such an academy that taught magic on a school scale could not help but attract many people who were eager to master magic to come and study.
He did not interfere in the management of the city and the school, leaving it entirely to the grown-up children. His original intention had always been to give those children a quiet life.
Licht was dressing herself in front of the mirror. Although she was over fifty, she looked like a beauty in her thirties. Only the occasional wrinkles at the corners of her eyes silently told her that she was no longer young.
"Sir, I'm going to class."
Her attitude remained the same as before, and she bowed to Ye Shanming, whose appearance had not changed. Ye Shanming was completely accustomed to this and responded kindly:
"Well, let's go."
Licht was wearing the uniform that symbolized the principal of the academy, looking elegant and composed. As she walked on the street, the magicians and residents passing by nodded to her respectfully, not daring to disturb her. Who would have thought that decades ago, she was just a child about to die on the battlefield?
Inside the much-expanded school, several students were whispering to each other. A red-haired boy was pulling a purple-haired boy, his face full of excitement.
"The story of your ancestors hasn't been finished yet. They were attacked by a bird-shaped monster. What happened next?"
"Then a warrior and an elven magician rescued my ancestors. I still have their statues at home."
"whispering sound,"
The red-haired boy was somewhat disinterested. "Have you heard of the legend of the brave dragon slayer? My ancestor saw it with his own eyes and almost went with the protagonist to defeat the Red Mirror Dragon in the Riker Canyon."
"Hey, stop arguing! I heard the Warrior Class Dean is going to confess her love to the Saint Sage Licht!"
At the call of a classmate next to them, the students, who were burning with gossip, quickly leaned against the window. From a distance, they saw a strong figure standing at the school gate, as if waiting for someone.
"Lichette!"
Licht, who was lost in thought, heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw a familiar figure in front of her. It was the leader who was in charge of managing the boys back then and now the dean of the warrior class.
"what's up?"
Licht still had that smile on her face and asked him why he came.
"I know your feelings. I've been waiting for you silently for thirty years. We're not getting any younger, so I want to give it one last try today!"
The man sighed and looked at Licht seriously: "I like you, but you still hold on to that pathetic thought?!"
Licht was stunned for a moment, and Ye Shanming's face unconsciously appeared in her mind. Her smile became more gentle: "Just as you have waited for me for so many years, even now, I still have the same idea."
"But the teacher..."
The man paused, his expression growing sadder. "Which girl back then didn't have the same feelings as you? But they all gave up in the end!"
"Why do you have to dwell on the past and refuse to face your new life?!"
"In fact, I no longer have such extravagant hopes."
Licht looked at her best friend of decades and smiled happily, just like she did back then.
"As long as I can watch over the Magic City and my teacher, that's all I want now."
Chapter 27 The Omniscient Future.
The curtains were ruthlessly drawn open, and the sunlight shone through the window onto Aura's face. She ignored it, turned over, and continued to sleep.
"Get up."
Ye Shanming grabbed the horn on her head and dragged her out of the bed. After a hundred years of growth, she finally grew a lot, but unfortunately her size after growth was only about the same as Fulilian.
"What...you kept me up too late last night, let me sleep a little longer."
Aula was half-sitting on the bed, sleepy-eyed, yawned, and was about to lie down again. This look reminded Ye Shanming of an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.
"You were the one who suggested fighting me last night. If I won, I would remove the obedience spell... Forget it, just go back to sleep."
Ye Shanming reluctantly gave up the idea of getting her out of bed. He had completely ruined this half-adopted daughter of his. He didn't care whether she heard it clearly or not. After giving her one last word, he prepared to leave:
"Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself and try not to reveal your identity. Save your life first, okay?"
"You said that many times last night,"
Aura muttered, "Anyway, I'm not worried about you, bastard. It would be even better if you died outside. I could then break free from the obedience spell and regain my freedom."
"Then I may have to disappoint you. I won't die that easily."
Ye Shanming smiled, touched her head, and stood up to leave.
"No one is allowed to kill anyone without a reason while I'm gone."
"Get out of here!"
Awula, who was a little annoyed by the noise, threw a pillow and hit the closed door.
Ye Shanming walked out of the gate and looked towards the north, as if he saw through the void a great demon he had never met before.
He has completely analyzed the magic of traveling through the world. The only thing he lacks is the magic formula related to the time domain preserved on the goddess's monument.
He had a premonition that the all-knowing Shuharat was waiting for him there.
"Lichette."
A familiar name came out of his mouth habitually, and Ye Shanming was suddenly stunned. The hall was empty and there was no one else in sight.
"It turns out it's been ten years... but it still feels like it was just a few days ago."
He didn't look back. By the second-floor window, Aura watched him leave quietly.
On the highest hilltop of the magical city of Oissast, a solitary tombstone stands, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.
Ye Shanming placed the white flower in his hand in front of the monument. Suddenly, he heard the sound of people walking behind him. He looked back and saw that they were teachers and students from the academy. Without stopping, he quietly cast a flying magic and left.
"This is the resting place of the great Saint Sage Licht. She passed away ten years ago. She never married and dedicated her life to the Magic City and the Academy..."
The teacher was explaining to the students when he suddenly saw a black shadow passing through the air from the corner of his eye. He was a little surprised and used his magic perception to search for a long time, but in the end found nothing.
After leaving the magic city, Ye Shanming crossed the northern plateau and headed for the goddess monument that allowed him to travel through time and space. He has spent nearly 200 years in this world.
Relying on his memory, Ye Shanming searched within a roughly locked range for more than a month and finally found the goddess monument in the mountains and forests.
I don’t know if it’s due to the passage of time or the last time the space-time fluctuation was caused, but the goddess monument has become quite damaged. It looks ordinary on the outside, but only when you get close to it can you feel that it contains a strange magic spell.
"Is this the magic spell related to time?"
Ye Shanming closed his eyes, stroked the stele with his right hand, and felt it quietly. To his surprise, he didn't need to analyze it carefully. The principles and structure of the Taoist ritual turned into information flow and naturally flowed into his mind. He was absorbed and mastered in just a moment.
A figure approached quietly, strolling leisurely in the garden, like an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years, and greeted him familiarly:
"Long time no see... No, it should be our first meeting, Ye Shanming."
"Nice to meet you, the all-knowing Shulahat."
Ye Shanming was not surprised at all. He opened his eyes, turned his head, and silently looked at this famous one of the Seven Sages.
The face under the hood was half covered by the mask, and his full appearance could not be seen. For his first impression of him, the only word that Ye Shanming could think of was prophet.
"Can we talk?"
Shulahat made an inviting gesture to Ye Shanming, who nodded. The two people who met for the first time began to stroll in the forest without any tension.
