I deceive you.
As Xu Lie's words fell, the Purple-Haired Elder became more vigilant, this time even more tense. He drew his weapon, holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right. At first glance, he resembled a jungle archer rather than a noble mage.
Xu Lie understood this well. The magical civilization in the Ben Huo realm was still in its infancy. Otherwise, there would be no need to hold continent-wide Exchange Conferences so frequently. The current state of magic civilization could be compared to the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age of Xu Lie's past.
At this stage, mages had no standard equipment to speak of; they mostly used whatever they were accustomed to. However, with the aid of magical intricacies, mages were far more capable than the ancient people of Xu Lie's time. While people in the Bronze and Iron Ages struggled with many tasks, mages could accomplish them with ease, creating various miracles.
There is a balance to everything; even across different realms and paths, this truth remains constant. On the technological path, people work hard in the early stages but can later explore truths more conveniently and quickly. On the magical path, while enjoying the conveniences of magic, one must also bear the cost of exploring deeper truths later on.
After all, those on the technological path actively engage in research to survive; those on the magical path might not feel the same urgency—having magic already makes them complacent.
With that aside, the Purple-Haired Elder and Reiner sighed at their misfortune. If only they had been further away! Being so close meant that his lightning magic could potentially harm himself. But there was no time to dwell on that; being injured was better than falling into the hands of an Evil Mage. Reiner had traveled extensively over the years and knew well how treacherous some Evil Mages could be.
Seeing that the opponent was about to strike, Xu Lie made no move at all. With just a thought, Reiner's bow and arrow suddenly appeared in Xu Lie's hands. A careful glance—no, just a sweep—was enough for him to realize that this was merely an ordinary wooden bow and iron arrow, devoid of any magical intricacies.
The bow and arrow were not essential tools for Reiner's spellcasting; they served merely as auxiliary props or psychological cues. The Ben Huo realm operated under a Classical Idealistic Magic system rather than a modern magical framework. In this system, all magic is idealistic; its upper limits are infinitely high while its lower limits are pitifully low.
The latter would delve into the intricacies of magic, with various tiers such as first and second levels, where both the upper and lower limits are quite high. Therefore, the mages from the Ben Huo realm often utilize items that provide stable psychological suggestions for themselves, much like Reiner's bow and arrows.
Oh no! Reiner felt a surge of panic; he couldn't discern what kind of magic his opponent was using at all. Xu Lie glanced at the bow and then at Reiner's hair color: Lei Su affinity? There was no need to ask; having thoroughly studied the script, Xu Lie knew very well that Reiner was a Lei Mage and one of the three initiators of the All-Continent Mage Exchange Conference.
The act was merely a ruse to gain Reiner's trust. Reiner had no intention of responding; he had nothing to say to the Evil Mage, and besides, it was obvious from his hair color what was going on—why ask further?
Xu Lie wasn't angry at Reiner's silence; instead, he casually tossed out a second question: "Have you ever considered... not relying on shooting arrows but rather temporarily condensing and summoning Lei Su?"
What if he stored Lei Su within special arrows in advance and then fired them when needed?
Reiner's expression changed dramatically as realization struck him. Yes! How had he not thought of that before? This suggestion seemed to open up new possibilities.
