Starborn Apotheosis: When Demon-Elf Hybrid Unlocks the Primal Codex

Spring is here again.

Eldrin had no idea of the significance of this spring, except that he was beginning to turn thirteen.

As the builder of war, it does not seem to be very important whether the Artificer knows how to kill people with his own hands, at least it is definitely not important at Eldrin's current stage.

However, every time after traveling back and forth between Deepblue and the tavern late at night, when Eldrin picked up magic circles, plane geometry or other homework again, he actually found that he had a new understanding of those originally static things. They were no longer just a bunch of precise numbers, but were connected and influenced by each other, and the scope of influence was not limited to a certain time and place.

To give a simple example, the same large-scale fire magic array is placed in desert terrain and forest terrain, and the instantaneous attack energy level is the same. However, in the next three to five years, due to the increase in local fire element concentration in the desert area, the groundwater path will be diverted, and the nearby oasis will move several kilometers or even retreat. In the forest terrain, when the large-scale fire magic array is activated, it will burn a large area of trees, causing changes in local plant density and species. However, the ash enters the soil, and before the plant seeds spread by the trade wind belt have reproduced and taken root on a large scale, the land has time to recuperate, thereby increasing fertility.

The above influences and inferences are useless for a one-time battle, but if it is a long-term war lasting more than a hundred years, or even the entire racial and social development behind it, it will be of great significance.

Eldrin seemed to feel that he had truly fulfilled his original excuse and had a completely new understanding of the Artificer profession. But he himself could not believe this feeling. Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe it was just an illusion caused by being too tired recently. From a purely rational point of view, the latter possibility was still greater.

All the things he had experienced since childhood came to his mind at this moment, and the vast amount of knowledge he learned in Deepblue was integrated and connected with each other. Many questions that he had been confused about before suddenly had answers. Inspiration was gushing out like a spring, and his heart was like a galloping horse!

Eldrin suddenly sat up and rushed to the magic laboratory. He laid out hundreds of materials in a row, then spread out a piece of top-quality monster skin, took out a magic pen with a special mithril needle tip , and began to carve a magic circle on the skin.

The night passed quietly, and the light of the magic lamp remained the same, making people forget the time. After changing 22 different types of magic pens, and scrapping six of them, using no less than 200 combinations of magic materials, finally, a complicated magic circle was completed on the square leather. The square leather has become very hard, and the magic circle on it is shining. As long as Eldrin inputs magic power, the magic circle will automatically start to speed up and give Eldrin a light and swift magic enhancement effect.

Looking at the hide, Eldrin could hardly believe his eyes!

The result of a dreamlike night is this animal skin. If we ignore the material and many other minor flaws, this animal skin will have another name in the outside world:

Runic Construct!

Although it is only the most basic Runic Construct: elementary agility, but even the simplest Runic Construct is still a Runic Construct!

Although Eldrin has systematically studied the various theoretical foundations of Runic Construct, he has not yet formally started to learn the practical production of Runic Construct, so the primary agility in front of him still has too many areas for improvement and is almost unusable. But this is indeed a milestone progress! Just like a magician , as long as the magic power reaches a certain standard, then learning what magic is just a detail.

Holding this crude Runic Construct, Eldrin's past year of hard work, thinking, conservation and pain came to his mind, and his mood was extremely complicated. Those efforts that were not wasted every minute, bit by bit, eventually converged into a river! The madness hidden deep in his blood and the heartache that had nowhere to hide also became the driving force that urged him to keep moving forward.

If we trace the root of the problem , perhaps there are only two words to describe it: it is a natural outcome of long-term accumulation.

With mixed feelings, Eldrin only gave himself three minutes to indulge himself. He knew that everything in Deepblue was built on the water and clouds , and the beautiful dream could be shattered at any time. The huge tuition fees, the huge loss of materials, the magic recovery potion that he drank as water every day, and this huge and disturbing living area were all built on the joy of Her Highness Isabella.

To put it bluntly, the Eldrin still had to rely on the mood of the Legendary Archmage to live. Before talent was transformed into strength, it was just a painting hanging on the wall, with only ornamental value.

There is a famous saying in history: There is no free lunch in the world. The lunch at the Legendary Archmage's house would be ridiculously expensive, how could it be free? From Naya's reaction, Eldrin also knew that his father, Gordon Malificus , whom he deeply hated, was definitely a big shot, and people feared him more than they liked him. With such a background, it is logical to infer that Isabella's joy was based on Eldrin's own efforts on the one hand, and Gordon's huge shadow on the other.

Eldrin knew that everything he had now, including the money he was going to use to help Elaine through the difficult times, actually came from his father, the man who once made him curious but now he never wanted to think of. But he couldn't refuse. If he wanted to continue on the path of magic, it would be impossible without the support of a lot of wealth. With his stubbornness, he would definitely return all the money he took from Gordon double in the future to fulfill his mother's wish and then never see his father again. No, maybe one day in the future, the father and son will meet on a battlefield in a certain plane. The world is always full of surprises.

However, what pained Eldrin was that the strict logic cultivated by the magic philosophy class was constantly reminding him that just because he was determined to pay back double in the future, could he take it for granted that he could use the gold coins from Gordon at will? Perhaps most people would have a comfortable answer to this, but Eldrin couldn't. Deep in his heart, no matter which side of his parents' blood it was, it brought him an instinctive pride, and this pride made him unable to deceive himself and be so shameless.

Now, a turning point has emerged, that is 'elementary agility'.

The thin animal skin means that Eldrin can quickly make a Runic Construct that meets the usable standard, and it is not difficult to expand from primary agility to other primary Runic Constructs. The price of each standard Runic Construct, even the primary one, is so high that Eldrin, who has been accustomed to Deepblue 's prices, is surprised. So in the future, Eldrin can make money by making Runic Constructs and selling them to Deepblue . This money is very considerable, although it still cannot be compared with the joy of Her Highness Isabella recently. Eldrin is certainly not stupid enough to refuse Isabella's joy just because he has the ability to make money, but the extra gold coins mean more materials, faster training speed, and greater freedom.

As soon as the word "if..." came to his mind, Eldrin suppressed it. But he already knew what he wanted to say deep down. If he could have made Runic Construct earlier, would he have been able to win back Elaine?

A young and innocent question. Eldrin's instincts provided a realistic and harsh answer. Nothing would be different, for what had happened had already happened, and time could not be reversed.

As Eldrin observed the Deepblue world more carefully, his understanding of its operating rules became more profound, and the second expressions behind the various faces became clearer. He also vaguely saw something behind the layers of confusion.

The lost time is simple, but the world is complicated.
