Chapter 5: The Reasons for War

Ah? Can I leave now? Dayunyang only asked Su Lin after those two had left

This all relies on the watch in his hand, which was improved from an item found by his father in the relics of the Pacific (to be mentioned later). It is an artifact capable of absorbing harmless magical energy. All of this occurred while both individuals were unconscious, so neither of them was aware, yet Dayunyang reaped significant benefits.

... Yunyang, thank you for telling me so much. I will come to find you again when I have time. You, you won't leave, will you

Before attending high school, I had never been to school, as I had been under my father's training since I became aware of my surroundings. The training was diverse, and it was conducted using my father's dream machine. Therefore, I have become the person I am today: charming, knowledgeable, exceptionally wise, and unmatched in martial arts... (omitting countless words)

The one at the forefront is a man in his late twenties, riding on horseback. He has a square face, broad ears, and exudes an inherent authority, likely being the Second Prince.

In recent days, I have been preoccupied with escaping with them, and it is only now that I am reflecting on these matters. Perhaps it is true, as my former friend once said, that I am rather insensitive. Former friends? It seems that only Mu Ximingxin remains.

Magic is a power that everyone possesses, existing within all things, yet few have the awareness to recognize its presence

"Brother Su, give me a reason, and I will fight for you until victory!" Dayunyang's handsome expression, which was devoid of a smile, appeared before Su Lin for the first time, and it was also the last time this expression would be seen before his first battle

My own world is so distant, just like the stars at the edge of the sky. No, the stars can still be seen, but I can never return to my own place again

Therefore, I need to go with Su Lin to their small town—Gukou City—to first obtain the secret of magic power before anything else

When people are able to perceive it, it can bring true power to humanity

Just call me Yunyang, after all, I am older than you. Da Yunyang knew that the princess might be leaving soon

"Superman? What kind of profession is that?" Su Lin remained stylishly aloof.

It is perhaps his sincerity that makes one instinctively want to approach him, and for some reason, one always feels compelled to share their innermost thoughts with him. "Alright, let me teach you."

Sure, big brother, please teach me quickly! Da Yunyang's face was filled with anticipation

Oh no, if I don't stop soon, it will be over. Stop! All my magical power, all my inner strength, are coming out. Hurry!

Brother Su, I have gained magical powers, real magical powers, hahaha, I am now a superhero! It seems that Dayunyang is particularly enthusiastic about this idea of being a superhero.

The Second Prince glanced at the two and said, "I absolutely do not wish to compel Yunyang to stay, and I am very grateful for Yunyang's previous assistance to the Princess. I will certainly express my gratitude to Yunyang in a significant way, so Yunyang's decision to stay or leave is entirely up to you."

Anyone whose magical power is of the internal force type or the magical type cannot utilize a type of magic that does not belong to them unless they have reached the limit of the celestial level (which refers to the celestial power mentioned later). However, due to Da Yunyang absorbing an excessive amount of magical power, his internal capacity has already exceeded significantly, leading it to flow outward. Yet, this magical power is absorbed by the watch, transforming the external magical power into his own magical type. Furthermore, since this magical power is a compressed form of a large quantity of magical energy, Da Yunyang's utilization of this power has also reached the limit of the celestial level.

This time, Su Lin, unable to tolerate his expression, interrupted his thoughts and said, "Little brother, I will do my best to help you, and I will also fulfill my promise regarding the understanding of magical power."

What is the reason for this? It may be related to the catastrophe of the Eden Project. Let us assume this is the case: after the catastrophe, many people died, and subsequently, much of the land sank. Those living by the sea and in surrounding areas migrated towards the center of the continent to escape the disasters. The last time I looked at a map of the Earth, I noticed that the eastern part of the current continent corresponds to the area that was once Outer Mongolia.

Around noon, everyone arrived at Gukou City. This is a very small castle, surprisingly styled in the manner of medieval Europe. There is only one city gate, and there is a moat outside, suggesting that it is likely a military fortress

Suddenly, ice erupted all over Su Lin's body; it was his unique Lingyue Ice Power. Then, the ice shot towards the magic circle, resulting in a loud explosion as it collided with the outer layer of the magic circle, shattering upon impact. Su Lin seemed to have been struck by something and fell to the ground, while the surrounding magical energy finally ceased to increase, with only Da Yunyang continuing to absorb the energy from the array.

Good

In the morning, Dayunyang truly felt the fresh scent of the forest, while before him lay an endless grassland. Under the early sun, the dewdrops sparkled like pearls... This, this is nature, the free nature!

Dayunyang looked at Sulin, realizing that he was now his only friend. Should he help him? And how could he help? Was it to assist him in battle? That was not his intention! ... But the loneliness...

While he was pondering, the crowd had already entered the city, and a group of people had already gathered at the castle gate

As for the people of this era, the issues they comprehend regarding magic, I believe, are the consequences of the Eden Project, as well as the harsh environment forged in the aftermath of the catastrophe

But why is it in the European style? Additionally, I have just noticed that from the very beginning, everyone was speaking Chinese, while among the soldiers, there are quite a few who are Caucasian or of mixed race

Am I? I am at the level of a warrior. I have probably reached the highest tier of the knight level, but when it comes to those legendary figures in the celestial realm, I feel like just a child.

Afterwards, the two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the Second Prince and the old man departed. However, it was strange that the old man had not spoken a single word from the very beginning

When a person first comes into contact with magic to the extent that they can contend with ten ordinary individuals, regardless of whether they are a warrior or a mage, they are referred to as a practitioner. When one can contend with a hundred, the warrior is called a warrior, and the mage is referred to as a sorcerer. When one can contend with a thousand, the warrior is then called a knight, while the mage is known as a magician

"Da, Yunyang." The princess beside him called out to him, perhaps unsure of how to address him properly

"I’m sorry, Dayunyang, you’ve drooled!" Princess Xie Rusi, who was beside him, perhaps could no longer bear to watch his expression as if he had stolen something valuable.

Dayunyang opened his eyes, ah, it is dawn. He came to his senses and remembered, wasn't he developing his own magical powers? How did he fall asleep? Is this his magical power?

However, Dayunyang was thinking of something else. Ah, seeing their astonished expressions, could it be that they have never heard such words before? It is quite possible, especially after experiencing a great catastrophe, the phenomenon of the interruption of civilization. Thus, it is not only oneself who possesses so many words and all the poetry. Hahaha, then I could claim that I wrote them myself, and it would be done.

The magic circle emitted a dazzling white light, which grew increasingly brighter. Su Lin's body began to tremble, and the surrounding magical energy flowed into the circle without restraint, showing no signs of stopping. Meanwhile, Da Yunyang's body floated within the circle, also starting to absorb the white light, yet the surrounding magical energy showed no decrease.

"Refer to the Second Prince." Except for Princess Xie Rushi, everyone else knelt down, and Da Yunyang also knelt amidst his own curses

Afterward, Dayunyang followed Su Lin's personal guard to Su Lin's temporary residence.

Alright, then let's go to Gukou City

Inheriting from the great war god, let your selfless power inspire the spirit of your people. Is the full eruption of your magic still not enough? ... As expected, it requires five warrior levels and one knight level to complete the ritual; relying solely on oneself is indeed insufficient, even though I have surpassed the knight level, yet...

Unbeknownst to both individuals, a warrior of a level possessing both internal energy and magic emerged. This also laid the foundation for why Yuyun Yang was able to cultivate both magic and martial arts.

After a night of planning, Dayun Yang has decided on his next destination: the Pacific East District Laboratory. After all, he is not a person of this world; he belongs to the technological era of eight hundred years ago, which is truly his home

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander. If it weren't for you leading your personal guard, fighting relentlessly amidst the chaos, I might have perished alongside * the * book long ago, and my sister's safety also relied entirely on your protection!" The Second Prince dismounted with an excited expression and approached Su Lin.

This is what I, as a subject, ought to do

"Hehe, nothing much, Brother Su, what level are you?" Judging by Brother Su's earlier demeanor, it probably isn't too low.

Thus, under the reasoning of Dayunyang's super intellect, which even he himself was unaware of, the general situation of the entire incident was basically outlined, and the facts were indeed quite similar

Upon seeing Dayunyang, the soldiers all nodded in acknowledgment, expressing their respect for him. It is important to understand that in this world, the individuals who command the greatest respect are undoubtedly those with capability, whether it be extraordinary martial prowess or exceptional wisdom

But why would I think of protecting him to the extent of sacrificing my own life? Su Lin gazed at him, her eyes reflecting an indescribable strange feeling.

Dayunyang did not understand how magic operated, so he did not inform Sulin about the status of his own magical energy. However, this situation was even more alarming than the abundance of his magical energy, as it had surpassed the limits of the Magic Martial Extreme Barrier

Alright, then, elder brother, please teach me the understanding of magic

Wow, one against a thousand? Isn't that superhuman? Haha... This is yet another instance of Dayunyang's arrogant laughter

"Alright, Brother Su, I have gained magical powers!" Dayunyang searched everywhere for Su Lin and finally saw him lying nearby. "Brother Su, what happened to you?"

Xie Rusi saw him once again lost in his thoughts, his face displaying that peculiar expression from before, I am about to faint

Su Lin also noticed the look in Da Yunyang's eyes and recalled his promise to him. He felt quite troubled for a while before finally saying: "Your Highness, Yunyang is still too young, and his parents have said the same. Is it possible that..."

Little brother, you are right, but a person is already in the world of rivers and lakes, haha... ... the sound of a desolate laugh

Speaking of my father, he might be the only person who surpasses me, truly the only one. He has many inventions that have never been made public, seemingly uninterested in fame or recognition. By the way, there is also my father's dream machine, which utilizes dreaming time for learning, eliminating the need for props and mentors. However, that has become my nightmare. Just think about it: if you dream for several days about fighting with others or dancing continuously without rest, haha, never mind those nightmares.

"Little brother, so you were here all along, making it easy for me to find you." The speaker was Su Lin, followed by the Second Prince and the old man.

An elderly man clad in a full-body cloak carefully observed the Su Lin Royal Guard. When he caught sight of Da Yunyang, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes before he turned away and walked towards the Second Prince.

The second prince did not expect the child before him to be so direct, and he was momentarily taken aback before saying: "I have heard that Yunyang possesses exceptional strategies, so I have come specifically to seek guidance from Yunyang." However, is this child truly as extraordinary as Su Lin described?

Su Lin turned his horse's head and walked over, saying: "Young brother Yunyang, we will probably reach Gukou City in about four ke (where two ke is equivalent to one hour). I would like you to accompany me to meet His Highness the Second Prince. His Highness will surely reward you handsomely."

Although that era has passed, it is essential to understand why it completely disappeared. As for the mystery of magic, haha, of course, it must be learned. Who would miss the opportunity to become a superhero

Su Lin was just about to wake up when he was shaken awake. "I'm fine, how about you?"

Until the evening, Dayunyang had not waited for Su Lin to return, and feeling quite bored inside the house, he went to the back garden, sat on a large stone, and gazed at the sky

Indeed, indeed... Do you know how perilous it is? For those with talent, if they are not utilized by me, they certainly cannot be used by others. Therefore, even if I protect you, you will not gain any advantage in the eyes of the Five-Star Magician

Alright, that's good. That was close; a magical explosion almost occurred. However, fortunately, even though I am only at the beginner level of knight rank in the short term, as long as this child is safe, that is what matters.

It appears that their civilization is still in the transitional phase between a slave society and a feudal society; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be unaware of the importance of soldiers

Dayun Yang, using the introspective techniques learned from his previous study of karate, discovered numerous small spherical objects both within his body and around him. No, they did not quite resemble small balls; they swam around inside him and in his surroundings, seemingly as if they were a part of him. When he directed them to a certain place, they would go there.

Dayunyang came to his senses and gave a shy smile to Xie Rusi. He did not know why, but it seemed that the princess no longer held any hostility towards him and even took the initiative to come and speak with him. Could it be that?

"Have you arrived? Brother Su, is there something you need from me? Should I leave now, or should I stay?"

When Su Lin was about ten steps away, he dismounted, and at that moment, Da Yunyang had just finished his thoughts, so he dismounted along with the others.

A magic circle capable of absorbing the magical energy of heaven and earth was drawn around, and the powerful magic of the highest rank of the knight was infused into it, connecting to all the meridians of Dayunyang within, activating the Oath of Inspiration

Thank you for the recognition from Prince Er, but my parents clearly stated while they were alive that I am not allowed to hold an official position. This puts me in a difficult situation; what should I do?" Dayunyang said, as he turned his gaze towards Sulin.

Alright, let the music play, we should celebrate properly. After the return of the Lingyue swordsman, it seems that heaven has not abandoned us yet! Accompanied by the second prince, he and the ministers behind him left without even glancing at the soldiers present here

Dayunyang, upon seeing the expression on Sulin's face, could not help but exclaim: "In the world of rivers and lakes, one is not in control of one's own body"

Oh, is this Mr. Da Yunyang, the one associated with the Book Shadow? Please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar, my apologies, my apologies. The Second Prince, upon seeing Da Yunyang, displayed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but quickly regained his composure and said warmly.

Certainly, there are also some individuals who employ other methods to simultaneously utilize both internal energy and magic; however, their power is significantly less than that of warriors and mages.

Thus, the winds and clouds of the continent began to undergo even more intense changes, until ... ...

Then, little brother, I have left enough money in your room, along with the score of my Lingyue Sword Song. You may leave now, and perhaps we shall meet again by fate in the future. The language conveys a sense of nostalgia.

Ah, what’s wrong? Am I not allowed to learn magic?" Dayunyang had a face full of questions

Su Lin hesitated, indeed! ... If it weren't for these responsibilities, I would have thought about traveling everywhere, but now...

Is money important in this world? Of course it is, otherwise do you think I am a deity who doesn't need to eat? "Alright, but Brother Su, there is one thing I must clarify. My parents told me long ago that I must not hold an official position in the court, and I also want to travel around the world. Can you allow me not to be an official?"

When the Yellow people of East Asia and South Asia encountered the White people of Eastern and Western Europe, conflicts arose due to issues of food and territory. This occurred approximately two hundred years ago. Subsequently, the population of Chinese people became the largest, and those who survived the calamity were likely the most numerous as well. Therefore, whether in terms of nations or languages, it can be said that they generally adopted Chinese customs and also integrated European styles.

Hehe, how hypocritical... "I am not a gentleman; I am merely a child. Your Highness, the Second Prince, please do not be so formal. May I ask what brings you to me?" Fortunately, I am quite wise and intelligent... (omitting countless words) Therefore, I will not be deceived.

"I don't want to go, and I have nowhere to go." Xie Rusi glanced at Dayunyang again and then walked towards the place where her brother had gone

Xie Rusi and Su Lin looked at him with a hint of surprise, inevitably reminded of their own helplessness

Afterward, those who possessed magical power began to draw a line of distinction. Those who circulated magical power within their bodies, transforming it into internal energy, were referred to as warriors. In contrast, those who externalized their magical power, transforming it into magic controlled by the mind, were known as mages

In fact, neither of the two was aware that, under such circumstances, a magical explosion should have occurred long ago. However, Dayunyang did not absorb the magic power as he usually would during the initiation ceremony; instead, he automatically absorbed the magic power from the formation, elevating his magical ability from nothing to the intermediate level of a warrior, which can only be described as his good fortune

But why did His Highness the Prince let it go so easily

Is that so? It turns out that my father knew all along that I would leave my world to come here; otherwise, he wouldn't have started training me from such a young age. But this raises suspicions. Could it be that my father knew about the catastrophe back then? ... That seems impossible ...
