040 Elemental Gathering Illusion
After a check on Dellen, the elderly junior pastor William gave the conclusion that he was "well and safe."
But he showed considerable surprise at the strange encounter that Deren described.
"If I heard it correctly, you should see the 'illusion of natural elements gathering'." The old man with sparse white short hair looked at Deren thoughtfully, "In this way, you either have a rare and powerful magical talent and have awakened your magic power on your own, or you are really unlucky and encounter an extremely rare coincidence."
"Last spring, the magicians tested the children in the village once. I participated, but I didn't have any magical talent." The brunette boy said honestly.
"That's the latter... I'm glad you're not one of those blasphemous guys." William immediately smiled and touched Deren's hair. "Don't be nervous, child, although the illusion of natural elements will make people startle, the pain they feel is like real, but it actually has no effect on health! What you see is the illusion of flames, which should be because you happened to encounter a large gathering of 'fire elements'."
"Fire Element? What is that?"
Seeing that the anxiety in the boy's eyes had not completely subsided, the old man with white hair had to continue, "Have you read Genesis? Do you know how the goddess of light created the whole world at the beginning of Genesis Yuan Dynasty?"
Dai Lunli shook his head for granted.
So William stood up, slowly walked to the bookshelf leaning against the wall, squinted his eyes and pulled out a beautifully bound golden book, and then walked back slowly, spread it on the table and opened it, and pushed it in front of Daren: "Simply put... the goddess used her radiant holy power to create countless living lives on the continent, and used the power of natural elements to create many still lifes, such as the sky, earth, ocean, air, etc.... The countless races with life and the lifeless environment together form the world in front of you."
"At the beginning, the fire element formed fire meteors and magma, the water element formed boundless sea and heavy rain, and the wind element formed storms and thunder... all kinds of natural elements at that time were manifested!"
"But as the world gradually created and completed, everything began to become gentle. The magma disappeared underground, the rainstorm turned into drizzle, the sea was divided into pieces, forming rivers and lakes, and the earth began to rejuvenate... The whole nature started to operate regularly."
"At this time, the goddess lets the natural elements hide, hide under all appearances, and only maintains the operation of the entire world in the dark."
"So people can only see the flames, but not the fire elements, people can feel the rain and snow, but not touch the water elements... The natural elements have long been hidden quietly and are not seen by ordinary people's eyes. Only in a very rare case do they gather too much and too densely in the same place, and people accidentally step into it, can they see their illusions!"
"This is the so-called 'illusion of natural elements gathering'... But don't worry, since the Third Era, the simple gathering of natural elements will no longer cause any harm to the human body."
William's explanation was extremely novel to Dellen, and this was the first time he had heard this!
Lao Buer is just a warrior, and the mainland travel notes he left behind did not record this knowledge.
"You just mentioned the blasphemous guys... do you mean magicians?" Daren said curiously.
"Of course..." William's face became serious, "The goddess kept the natural elements hidden, but the magicians pulled them out for their own use. The operation of the world should follow the order set by the goddess, but they attempted to act as the makers of rules and usurpers... Isn't this blasphemy, and what is it?"
Daren blinked, not daring to take on this topic.
"As far as you know, are there any other possibilities that will make a person suddenly see the 'illusion of natural elements gathering'? I mean... well... unnatural factors..." Daren asked carefully.
"Of course, as I said at the beginning - magic can do this." William nodded, "The process of magicians casting spells is to use their own magic to control a large number of natural elements to gather together, and then use some rule formula to manifest them, thus turning into fireballs or water flows visible to ordinary people's naked eyes, etc.... If a magician wants to make a prank, he can deliberately gather a bunch of natural elements on you and let you see illusions."
"But you can rest assured that there will be no magician that is so bored that he will tease an ordinary child... Magicians are all arrogant guys." William snorted, his words full of dissatisfaction with the magician.

"Magic power...it turns out to be magic..."
In the afternoon, in the small thatched hut west of the village, the girl with flax hair gradually showed a sudden expression after listening to Deren's retelling.
"I understand!" She suddenly tapped the palm of her right hand with her left finger, and her tone was pleasantly and brisk, "The crystal ball you eat should have magic! I remember that the magicians usually have crystal balls embedded at the top of the staff... In this way, maybe the crystal ball you eat is the item of a magician?"
"You mean... it was the magic control fire element in the crystal ball that gathered on me, which led to me seeing the illusion?" Daren followed this idea and said in surprise, "This makes sense... But why is it the fire element, not other elements?"
Enid said for granted: "You have been to the blacksmith shop, and there are a little more fire elements there than other places, isn't it strange?"
"Does it come based on the concentration..." Delan nodded thoughtfully.
"As for the crystal ball that can't be made in your stomach, it probably has nothing to do with magic. Otherwise, ordinary items should have been tossed by you like this... This provides a possible solution." Enid replaced the right fingertip and gently slid around the left palm. "Just as a magician casts spells, it will consume magic, gathering the 'fire element' around you should also consume magic in the crystal ball."
"And the magic in that crystal ball is not infinite, right? As long as you experience the 'illusion' again and again, you will consume the magic in it again and again... When the magic is exhausted, it is an ordinary crystal ball, and it should be able to be made out at that time!"
"Are you sure?" Deren's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course not sure...but there is only this method at the moment, right?" Enid sighed. "Since Lord William said that natural elements gathering are not harmful to the body, it means that this method is at least worth a try. And Delan... you shouldn't want to turn into an explosive barrel in the future."
"What does it mean?" the brunette boy was startled.
