Chapter 620: Zelretch comes knocking

"Zelretch? Isn't that the Wizard Marshal!"

Lin Ye is also stunned for a moment.

If Suoluomen is the Grand Caster among Heroic Spirits, then Zelretch is the living Grand Caster.

The Wizard Marshal, founder of the Department of Mineralogy, user of the Second Magic, defeated the Crimson Moon with an infinite ether cannon—Zelretch can be said to be a true living legend.

"Almost forgot, Zelretch is Suoluomen's disciple."

Seeing Zelretch appear, Lin Ye already understands what he should do next.

【January 2nd, Year 3: Lin Ye and Suoluomen are sitting under the Grand Temple of Time playing Go, but Lin Ye is very uncomfortable now.

There's no help for it; both possess Clairvoyance, and before even placing a piece, they have already played hundreds of games in the future. Lin Ye's Clairvoyance is A++, which is a level lower than Suoluomen's, so he has been at a disadvantage these past few days, and it looks like he is about to lose...

And just at this moment, two figures break through the guards' watch and break in directly.

These two people are Zelretch and his good friend Barthomeloi.

As soon as the two figures rush in, they kneel on the ground directly. Among them, Barthomeloi raises his head to look at Lin Ye and Suoluomen before him and pleads:

"Great Divine Messenger Lin Ye and King Suoluomen, please save the Magecraft world!"】

Barthomeloi, the founder and director of the Clock Tower, one of the three major Magecraft institutions, and also one of the Twelve Lords—the Lord of the Department of Lore.

As for his plea to save the Magecraft world, it is because the Age of Gods is about to end, and the mana in the air is decreasing significantly, which is a fatal blow to mages.

In the Type-Moon World, the dividing point between the Age of Gods and the modern era is BC and AD. Mages of the Age of Gods and modern mages can be said to be two completely different types of existences.

In the Age of Gods, Magecraft belongs to the realm of gods. Although there are witches like Medea, they all have divine inheritance and thus can control Magecraft, so in the Age of Gods, Magecraft and Magic are actually no different; it is just a difference in terminology.

【Listening to Barthomeloi's plea, Suoluomen does not blame him for the crime of breaking into the temple, but sighs helplessly:

"I have no way either. The depletion of the Root is unchangeable. Even the omnipotent God chose to leave. You asking me won't change anything."

Listening to Suoluomen's words, expressions of despair appear on the faces of Barthomeloi and Zelretch. According to the current rate of mana dissipation, mystery will disappear completely in a few hundred years, so, is mystery really about to end?

"Actually... it's not that there's no way."

Suddenly, the sound of a voice makes hope appear in the eyes of Zelretch and Barthomeloi.

The two look in the direction of the voice and see Lin Ye stand up directly from his seat. Perhaps because he was too excited, he accidentally knocked over the chessboard.

"Ahem, actually, it's not entirely impossible. The end of the Age of Gods is irreversible, but Magecraft doesn't necessarily have to decline."

"Hmm? Lin Ye, do you have an idea?" Suoluomen looks at Lin Ye on the side curiously; he is also very curious about what method Lin Ye could have to save Magecraft.

And looking at Suoluomen before him, Lin Ye smiles and says:

"The Root is gone, but isn't the internal source still there?"】

Mana in the Type-Moon World is divided into two types: the Root that permeates the world, and the internal source that is born within living bodies.

Mages of the Age of Gods control the Root, so most of their strength far exceeds that of modern mages. But this does not mean that mages who use the internal source are necessarily unable to defeat mages of the Root. The most classic example is Bazett; her combat power is still that of a powerhouse even in the Age of Gods.

【Hearing Lin Ye's words, the eyes of Zelretch and Barthomeloi are instantly filled with brilliance. That's right, the Root is depleted, but they still have the internal source.

"It's just, how should the internal source be used?" Zelretch asks this most critical question.

And hearing Zelretch's confusion, Lin Ye smiles and says:

"Magic Circuits."

"Magic Circuits?"

"Yes, that's right, Magic Circuits. This is a type of simulated nerve unique to the human body. Mages can transform life force into mana through Magic Circuits, using this as a foundation to connect to Magecraft formulas. Moreover, through the continuous inheritance of mage families, newborn mages will usually become increasingly excellent, thus achieving the purpose of inheritance."

Listening to Lin Ye say this, Zelretch's eyes are filled with light, but the next second the light dims: "However, this is just a concept, how do we know it is definitely feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible!" Lin Ye says with extreme determination.】

Lin Ye is certainly determined; after all, he lives in the modern era. Moreover, although mages of the Age of Gods are basically mages who control the Root, it is not as if there are none who use the internal source to control Magecraft.

For example, Circe; although she is also proficient in Magecraft that controls the Root, that pair of wings of hers is actually a Magic Circuit, and she can use the internal source to fight enemies just the same.

【Seeing Lin Ye confirm it like this, Suoluomen on the side also nods; he trusts Lin Ye completely.

He also stands up directly, casually using a Restoration Magecraft to restore the chessboard to its original state, and then he says:

"Good! Lin Ye, since you have a way, let's start building a Magecraft Academy and summon mages from all over the world to come and study internal source Magecraft!"

"Good!" Lin Ye also nods with satisfaction.

Hearing the two say this, Zelretch and Barthomeloi almost exclaim with joy.

And watching the two young people so happy, Suoluomen says:

"Then Lin Ye, let's finish this game of Go and start preparing to build the Magecraft Academy."

"What! No!" Lin Ye shakes his head immediately. He throws the chessboard aside again and says righteously: "This is a major matter concerning the inheritance of mages! How can we waste time here! This is simply a sin! Zelretch, Barthomeloi, let's go choose a location and build the academy right now!"

"Yes! Mr. Lin Ye!"

The next second, Lin Ye takes the two and leaves.】

And watching this scene, Suoluomen cannot help but sigh:

"Lin Ye... is indeed swift and decisive."

And on the other side, Lin Ye secretly wipes the cold sweat from his forehead and says:

"That was too close, I almost lost the game."

Damn! I'm never playing Go with Suoluomen again! This guy uses Clairvoyance, he's cheating! ===== CHAPTER 622 =====
