Matthew nodded his head in a half-understanding manner.
“So, is this also one of the mysteries of melee spells?
Chen shook his head.
” Of course, it’s not that profound. It’s just a little scheme I had when I was young. I got used to it later and didn’t change it.
” In fact, the term melee spells can easily lead people astray. Which mage would give up their advantage in range and choose to engage in melee combat with the enemy?
” You must know that no matter what realm you are in, the advantage of casting distance is everything!”
Matthew agreed with Chen.
A large part of the reason why mages were powerful was because of their long reach.
” Then why did you choose the path of close combat?”
Chen explained,“I had no choice. From the moment I was born, I was cursed because of my bloodline.
” When I was practising normal spells, it took me twice the effort, and the efficiency was very low. Then, I accidentally discovered the legendary path of the melee spell. I took advantage of the loophole in the curse and achieved what I have today.
” Actually, I’m quite envious of you normal people who can grow step by step. For someone like me who has to rely on my own exploration, I don’t even know what to do next.”
Curse?
Matthew was slightly stunned.
He had thought that Chen cultivated close-combat magic because he liked it, but he did not expect it to be because he had no choice.
“Why is there a curse on you?
“Could it be related to the Su Clan?”
Matthew vaguely thought of something.
Chen nodded.
” My father was a Su, and I even suspect that he was the descendant of the last emperor of the Su. When he arrived at the Aindor Continent, he suffered from severe elemental imbalance. During that time, he vomited and had diarrhoea every day, and he almost died.
“I don’t know what happened after that. After all, I wasn’t born yet. In short, my father found a way to alleviate the symptoms.
“Fortunately, I was born.
” However, my father’s method did not seem to have completely alleviated the acclimatized condition of the Su. I have had many small problems since I was born. One of them is that I can use spells but not long-range spells.
“Fortunately, these problems are not a big problem. It’s just that they are occasionally disgusting.”
Matthew was very interested in the curse on Chen.
However, it was somewhat inappropriate to get to the bottom of it for the first time.
Hence, he tried to beat around the bush.
” I saw some members of the Sus on the Island of Equal Flow. They will return to the sea before they die. Is this also a kind of curse?”
Chen muttered,
“Perhaps.
“When I was young, I studied the phenomenon of the Su returning to the sea. If you’re interested, I can discuss it with you.
“Currently, there are three possibilities. The first possibility is related to the Bright Sandalwood King back then.
“Back then, in order to allow his ship to smoothly pass through the Endless Ocean, Bright Sandalwood King had made some kind of deal with the sea monsters that blocked his path.
“The content of the deal should be that the Su would serve the sea monster after their deaths.
“The form of expression was naturally to sink to the bottom of the sea;
“The second possibility was related to the last emperor of the Su.
“It was said that the emperor had mastered the power of a divine mage and could bring the dead back to life.
“As far as I know.
“The emperor fell in the third battle of the Abyss invasion.
“According to the legend of the Su.
“A hundred years later, the emperor would be resurrected in a tomb at the bottom of the sea and lead his people back.
“If this legend was true.
“Then, the Su who entered the seabed might have gone to the emperor’s tomb.
“The source of the third situation was a creation of twilight sealed by the Su at the bottom of the sea.
“The creature was called the World Ending Twin Snakes, and it was also the creator of the original Naga.
“Because he was sealed by the Su, he hated them to the core.
“When the Su Clan was strong, he did not dare to make a sound because if he made a little noise, the emperor would beat him up.
“Now, the empire of the Su had been destroyed.
“He naturally had the opportunity to kick them when they were down.
“All kinds of signs showed that the World Ending Twin Snakes were in a very weak state, which was consistent with the fact that he could only charm the dying Su.
“In fact, the above three possibilities could explain the curse of the Su.
“However, there was insufficient evidence to support it.
“After all, the eastern part of the Endless Ocean is already a forbidden area. No one knows what happened there.”
Matthew was surprised.
“Even an expert like you can’t understand it?”
Chen said frankly,
“A human’s power is limited, even for a Holy Mage. I can’t think of anyone else who can enter the area to the east of the Upflowing Abyss except for the legendary Calamity Mages. It has become an unexplainable space, and the laws are about to be reorganized. You can often see islands floating in the sky. Those are the fragments of the Eastern Continent where the Su used to live.
“We still don’t know what happened in the Su country, but the accident a thousand years ago must have something to do with the invasion of the Abyss.
” Don’t you think that devils are always more active than demons on the Aindor Continent?
“In fact, we observed that 1000 years ago, when the country of Su was destroyed, the Abyss also suffered a major blow. A large number of demon lords died, and even the main body of the Abyss seemed to be injured. Therefore, the Abyss has been pushed back by the Purgatory in recent years. They don’t have much energy to stir up trouble in the prime material plane.”
Matthew nodded.
No wonder devils always had a stronger presence than demons.
It turned out to be the far-reaching impact of the fall of the Su Country.
This was because there was a common topic in Su country.
The conversation between the two of them was also natural and smooth.
Matthew learned some secret past events in the Su country from Chen.
A moment later.
Chen suddenly changed the topic.
“Do you still remember the World Ending Twin Snakes I told you about?
” That guy is pure evil. Recently, due to the Heavenly Change, the seal on his body loosened a lot, so he bewitched a part of the Nagas again.
” They established the Holy Church of Darkness Source at the bottom of the sea, trying to unify the Naga Kingdom first and then turn more humans into Nagas.
“Those stupid Nagas are actually willing to work for the World Ending Twin Snakes and do bad things under my nose. I’m really disgusted.
” But my main focus is on dealing with the Evil Dragon in the sea and the other super monsters in the southeast. I plan to leave the Naga to the other mages who have joined you.
“Since you can come over today, I’ll ask you, by the way. Can you do this mission?
” Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for free. As long as you can kill Queen Zina of the Arunay Sea and destroy the Holy Church of Darkness Source, I will recommend you to become the next Silver Council member.
“I also prepared some small gifts for you.
” I’ll give you this one in advance because it also concerns Margaret’s safety.”
As he spoke.
Chen waved his hand.
A light purple, beautiful, translucent robe appeared in front of Matthew.
Matthew was slightly stunned.
“This is… a woman’s nightie?”
Chen smiled faintly.
” This is the Star Weaving Robe, also known as the Joy of the Goddess of Magic. Take it over and take a look.”
Matthew took the robe and felt that it was very soft.
