Chapter 295 The Origin of Magic

Fu Qinghai was slightly stunned when he saw the graceful blue figure walk into the room.

The visitor was wearing a moon-white robe, with two curved horns extending backwards at the end of his forehead, black and smooth hair, a tall figure of about 1.8 meters, slender and well-built recurved hooves, beautiful anklets adorning his ankles, and a long blue fleshy tail hanging from his butt with several jewel-encrusted gold rings on it.

Those pupil-less white eyes made her look arrogant and cold - perhaps this was the impression every Draenei gave to other races, that they were unattainable.

But the other party obviously did not recognize him.

Olivia just glanced at Fu Qinghai and didn't pay much attention to him. She continued to complain to a night elf next to her with an unhappy look on her face.

The night elf woman had rosy-red skin and long, pointed ears sticking out from her blue hair. She was about the same height as the draenei and looked like she was her best friend or something.

Fu Qinghai found it a little funny.

In the crack of the pipe of the space ship, Olivia was pointed at the head with a plasma pistol by him, and she kicked her hooves wildly in fear, but she was not at a loss - this was the first impression that the Draenei gave Fu Qinghai. Now in the territory of his own society, he was very generous and full of aura.

At that time, Fu Qinghai was wearing power armor and a helmet, and his naked height was nearly two meters and five. It was normal that Olivia did not recognize him. Even though the victim was in front of him, Fu Qinghai did not intend to recognize her. He picked up his suitcase and prepared to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute."

The voice came from behind.

Fu Qinghai turned around.

Olivia frowned and stared at Fu Qinghai, seeming to be recalling something seriously, her tone full of doubt:

"We... know each other?"

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"You got the wrong person, ma'am."

Olivia said hesitantly,

"I sensed a slight trace of arcane aura on you, an arcane aura related to me personally. Did I... cast any spell on you?"

Fu Qinghai shrugged:

"Yeah, but I don't have any impression of that."

As the saying goes, "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him." This is the territory of the Zero World Guild. Fu Qinghai does not intend to reveal his identity and insists that he does not know Olivia.

Fu Qinghai ignored the Draenei and left the room with his suitcase.

Olivia was left standing there frowning and thinking:

That was a spell related to Norgannon the Dreamweaver. It was different from the daily spells like Frost Ray and Frost Ring that only involved the four elements. It was a spell linked to the six original powers in World of Warcraft.

Olivia turned to look at the two dwarfs behind the counter and asked,

"Who was that person just now?"

"A bounty hunter who refuses to reveal his identity has delivered the head of Lauster, Miss Crofts."

The two dwarfs replied respectfully.

"Bounty hunter? He must be very powerful to have killed Laust. Who could he be?"

Olivia carefully recalled all the reincarnation worlds she had experienced, and thought of the pile of magic jewelry. Suddenly she remembered something and shouted with sudden enlightenment:

"It's him!"

After saying that, Olivia rushed out of the building and pushed open the door decorated with hollow glass. There was a lot of traffic outside the street, but the man was no longer there.

"What's wrong, Olivia, who is that?"

The night elf beside him hurriedly followed and asked with a confused look on his face.

Olivia did not answer her companion's question. She looked around and said:

"Kara, tell me, can you track the whereabouts of that man just now based on the smell?"

"Sure, it's a piece of cake."

After the night elf finished speaking, he looked down at the Chanel summer haute couture outfit he had just bought with some embarrassment, and said hesitantly:

"But my clothes..."

"I'll give you a new set."

Olivia said without hesitation.

"All right."

The night elf agreed reluctantly. As soon as she finished her words, her body suddenly swelled, her head twisted and deformed, claws grew out of her limbs, hair grew on her skin, and her clothes burst through, and she turned into a gigantic black panther with golden vertical pupils.

The black panther twitched its nose, sniffed around at the gate, raised its head to look in a certain direction, flicked its black tail, and kicked its four legs, then quickly ran towards the street amid the exclamations of passers-by.

Olivia hurriedly followed.

The man and the beast ran past the pedestrians who were trying to avoid them, and chased the remnants of the smell. They passed through several street corners and alleys and entered the depths of the buildings. There were piles of debris and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.

The panther's broad paws splashed up the stagnant water, and it nimbly jumped over the trash can and plastic bags. It narrowed its eyes and spoke in human language:

"Almost, we'll find him soon."

Just as she turned and entered a dark alley.

"Bang!"

A large hand covered with black gauntlets suddenly grabbed her neck and pressed the beautiful black cat with smooth fur to the ground. The black panther fell sideways with a "thump". Olivia, who was running behind her, quickly stopped. Then there was a "click" sound...

A plasma pistol was pressed against his forehead.

"Hoo… Let me go!"

The black panther on the ground bared its teeth and roared, constantly kicking its limbs and twisting its body, but it could not break free of that huge force. The iron hand was like a clamp, pressing her to the ground, and even if she mobilized all the muscles in her body, she could not move at all.

Olivia stood there blankly, looking at the cold muzzle of the gun in front of her and the burly black-gold armored giant behind her, and said hesitantly,

"Don't, don't shoot, I just..."

"What's up?"

Fu Qinghai half-knelt on the ground, holding down the Black Panther with one hand and pointing the gun at the Draenei with the other, and asked with his head tilted.

Olivia took a breath and said,

"Qingshan, you are Qingshan, right?"

"It's me."

The dull sound filtered through the loudspeaker was as familiar as the plasma pistol pressed against his forehead.

The Draenei slowly spread his hands and said:

"I have no ill intentions, and I am not here to seek revenge on you. Look, I don't even have a staff with me... Can you let my companion go first?"

Fu Qinghai was silent for a moment, loosened his right hand slightly, and slowly stood up. The black panther that he had pressed to the ground quickly crawled up, retreated on all fours, and returned to Olivia's side. A pair of golden cat eyes with vertical pupils stared at Fu Qinghai vigilantly, and a low roar kept coming out of its mouth.

Seeing Fu Qinghai put down the plasma pistol, Olivia finally breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile and said:

"Back then, you kept your promise and let me live in the space wreck. I am actually very grateful. Although you sold my magic jewelry to the Weixu Alliance, I am not here to cause trouble. I just want to get to know you."

Fu Qinghai did not speak, but quietly asked Qingming:

"Dispatch the surveillance cameras at the surrounding intersections. Are there any other people following us?"

"No, Master."

Qing Ming replied.

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"Well, Miss Olivia Crofts, it's nice to meet you, oh yes, and this unknown druid. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Olivia thought she was very beautiful, but she didn't expect this man to be so cold and indifferent. He didn't even want to take off his helmet to say hello. However, she wanted to make friends with this powerful Space Marine, not just out of curiosity, so she organized her words and said seriously:

"Qingshan, um, well, it's like this. I'm not exaggerating, our Zero Realm Guild is indeed very strong in Azeroth, and that's our territory. If you enter the World of Warcraft universe in the future, with our help, you will avoid many detours... And on behalf of Zero Realm Guild, I also want to get to know the senior players of the Warhammer 40K universe. That's all, nothing else."

The black panther next to him raised his head and looked at his companion with some doubt, thinking:

You chased me for this?

Olivia also felt that her excuse was a little forced, but she couldn't just say "I heard some inside information from my brother" - the Zero Realm Guild was discussing whether to establish a base in the Warhammer 40K universe. Of course, she couldn't just talk about things like this that were related to the direction of the club's development.

Fu Qinghai also felt that it was a bit abrupt, but he did agree with the principle that "more friends mean more paths".

I went to the Zero Realm Guild to exchange for Lauster's bounty. After they verified my identity, they transferred 3,000 assimilation points to me without saying anything. They didn't go back on their word or anything like that. It seems like they are a reincarnation society that values ​​integrity, and I can definitely make friends with them.

Fu Qinghai never believed that the only way for reincarnations to survive was to fight and kill each other. Facing the kindness that others took the initiative to show, he did not refuse and said,

"Okay, then add me as a friend."

Olivia said "hmm", reported her reincarnation number, and then said:

"If you seize magical equipment from World of Warcraft later, you can consider taking it to our Zero Realm Guild's base to sell it. The price we offer is definitely more sincere than that black shop of the Order-Maintaining Alliance."

"Okay, I understand."

Fu Qinghai nodded, then turned and left.

Olivia and the night elf who had transformed back into human form watched as the Space Marine took off on the spot and rushed into the sky with a surge of air and flames gushing out from behind him.

…

At this time, the Zero Realm Guild's office in the Marvel main universe was where Fu Qinghai had just left.

A meeting was going on on the top floor of the building.

On both sides of the long stone conference table sat several men and women, as well as some humanoid creatures that were obviously not human, including Draenei, night elves, high elves, dwarves...

If Fu Qinghai were here at this moment, he would be able to see that the Zero Realm Guild is not a reincarnation society that plays both sides in the World of Warcraft universe. There is not a single person from the Horde here, all of them are from the Alliance, including the security personnel downstairs (Pandaren and Werewolves).

"The Warhammer 40K universe has been opened twice. The relevant setting information about this newly emerged reincarnation world has been spread. After many communities analyzed it, they generally reached a consensus - this is a treasure universe."

A human sitting in the first seat said.

What is so special about the Warhammer 40K universe compared to other reincarnation worlds? In fact, there is a corresponding discussion in the reincarnation forum. The special thing is that this is a relatively rare reincarnation world that combines science fiction and magic in its worldview structure.

DND and WOW are both magical universes with generally low technological levels. Alien, Resident Evil, etc. are pure science fiction universes without any magical settings. Although Harry Potter and Cthulhu, two reincarnation worlds with magical settings, are located in modern and contemporary times, there is still a big gap in technological levels between "modern" and "science fiction".

In a reincarnation world that combines magic and science fiction, there will be no situation where a powerful wizard from the magical universe becomes very weak after being suppressed by the worldview.

Like Warhammer 40K, Marvel and DC, which combine magic and science fiction, have already formed an inherent player power structure that is difficult to break. The Warhammer 40K universe has just been opened twice, which is the best time to plan ahead.

The human mage continued:

"After my in-depth analysis, the magic settings of the Warhammer 40K universe - the subspace and psionics, are simpler and more crude than the four magic elements of DND and the six original forces of WOW. Psionics releases spells in a very unreasonable way - directly modifying reality."

Many magical methods in Warhammer 40K can directly act on the soul and body while ignoring external physical defenses, which is different from other reincarnation worlds.

"You should know without me saying that even in the main Marvel Universe, the magical power that directly modifies reality is extremely powerful - Scarlet Witch, Infinity Stones... and even higher-level beings."

"Moreover, psionic energy has no attribute distinction. This is very crucial. Do you remember my previous proposal? I suggest that all spellcasters in the society develop professions and skills in arcane and natural schools as much as possible."

"Because the original power of these two schools is related to the four elements, and many reincarnation worlds have the setting of the four magic elements of air, earth, water and fire. Not only DND, but also Marvel and DC have it. If you learn the spells related to arcane and nature, you can still cast spells smoothly in other universes. The original power of fel energy and void, which are unique to World of Warcraft, is not very useful in other magic universes."

The human wizard waved his hand and said excitedly,

"In the Warhammer 40K universe, as long as we can comprehend and understand the nature of the Warp, even if it is only a partial nature, psychic energy can be transformed into magical power of any attribute - this is the conclusion drawn by the fifth dimension!"

At this time, a dwarf came out to pour cold water:

"But according to the two previous reincarnations who returned from the Warhammer 40K universe, the intensity of the war in that reincarnation world is extremely high. If we rashly send a large number of members in, I'm afraid the losses will be severe."

"Yes, I heard that, too."

"Indeed."

Everyone agreed.

"Everyone, everyone."

The human mage raised his voice, interrupting everyone's discussion, and said seriously:

"We can't avoid problems just because of a few difficulties. If we keep hiding in the continent of Azeroth, we will never be able to squeeze into the ranks of the four major societies. How can we gather resources to push ourselves to a higher level of existence?"

"The problem you mentioned does exist, but we should actively seek solutions instead of giving up on this proposal. According to my special information channel, Perfect Humanity and the Fifth Dimension have already sent a pioneering team led by advanced players carrying the World Anchor to the Warhammer 40K universe. If we don't seize the time to make arrangements in advance, we may miss this critical development opportunity again."

"I don't think there's any need to take this risk. Azeroth is not a small place."

"That's right. We haven't even settled Draenor yet, so don't go and meddle in other reincarnation worlds."

Everyone was talking about it and had different opinions.

At this time, the door of the conference room quietly opened a crack, and a female Draenei in a moon-white robe tiptoed in. The human mage who presided over the meeting saw her figure, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Olivia came behind a male Draenei and whispered something in his ear. The man turned around and looked at her in surprise, then asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Olivia nodded slightly.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me."

the draenei interjected.

He was just over two meters tall, and his armor could not hide his broad and solid physique. When he spoke, the two fleshy tentacles on the sides of his face would sway along with him. He said to everyone:

"I agree with Councillor Norman. Why don't we think differently? Is it possible for the Zero Realm Guild to get in touch with high-level players or reincarnation societies rooted in the Warhammer 40K universe, form an alliance, or cooperate? This way, we can avoid many troubles from indigenous forces."

"Othniel, do you know what you are talking about? The Warhammer 40K universe has only been opened twice. What kind of players and societies can establish their own forces there?"

asked the dwarf.

The Draenei smiled and said:

"Why don't you go and take a look and find out?"

...…

The Magic Sanctuary of Xiangjiang.

Chen Xinxue was holding a book about Warhammer 40K settings and studying hard. When she saw a certain introduction, her pretty eyebrows raised and she muttered to herself,

"The Black Library... contains all the knowledge about psionics and chaos. As long as you enter the Black Library, you can see the nature and truth of the Warp? Isn't that more powerful than the Book of Vishanti and the Darkhold?"

The spellcasting system of the Marvel Universe is also very diverse. The Book of Vishanti and the Darkhold, two major Marvel artifacts, are said to record all the black and white magic in the world, but they do not include the Nine Realms spellcasting system that uses the World Tree as the source of magic power.

Loki and Thor's mother Frigga belong to the category of spellcasters in the Nine Realms system. When the major event "Ragnarok" in the Marvel main universe broke out, the World Tree was destroyed, Thor became a mortal, and all the magicians in the Nine Realms lost their ability to cast spells.

"What kind of place is this?"

Chen Xinxue suddenly felt curious.

She thought silently: DND mages are restricted by the magic network and spell slots; Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme school mages borrow and lend spells across dimensions, and the cost is high; Marvel's Nine Realms system mages are restricted by the World Tree... So, what is the cost of magic in Warhammer 40K?

At the same time, on the third floor of the Holy of Holies, in Chen Xinxue's bedroom, Chen Xinlu sat by the window sill, also reading a book. She turned a page and suddenly found a note inside the magic book. The scribbled handwriting on it seemed to be a... unsigned prose poem?

All living beings have no empathy,

Therefore, love and happiness in the world are constant.

Fight for them fiercely.

Like wild dogs.

——Anonymous "I Want"

Chen Xinlu frowned.

Who wrote this note? Why did it appear inexplicably in Kamar-Taj's magic book?

...
