Chapter 63: Unknown Temple(3)
The archer had sighed once more before he began complaining in a croaking voice.
"You know, back when I was just a little boy, a student at the adventurer academy, an academy were adventurers are taught, I was forced to study every facet about this, every single f#cking facet, I mean I know how many known actives there are. 4869 by the way.. Well, at least it's kind of helpful now."
But very soon, after a short tirade about this very topic, about how the teacher had told him that he would have to know that even if he was awoken at midnight while covered under a mountain of blankets, he began talking in a calmer tone once more, now with just a slight gurgling undertone that had started anew just a few minutes ago, in the middle of his senseless tirade that had truly just been annoying to Cades.
"Listen up cause the rest of the actives are much more intricate to explain. The sixth type, and the first of the higher class types, consists of temporal or instant enhancements, these work by causing a special kind of energy to appear within ones own body for a set amount of time and, for example, healing it or propelling it forward within an instant, this is also why the fifth and sixth type are often referred to as the healing duo. The seventh type is probably my favourite, it consists of just a few dozen actives but is the most popular apart from the tenth type, it consists of elemental freedom, of the act of bending elements to ones own will, basically just telekinesis with elements. After that there's the eight type, also known as the unique type, this type is really just miscellaneous, such as for example a spell that lets you improve your looks or a spell that lets you manipulate your own weight, or even a buff that allows you to look into the future during a battle. The ninth type consists of commands, there are only three known actives of this type as they are incredibly rare, these actives are 'fear', "kill' and 'regrow', they cause one to feel fear, die and regrow or heal respectively. Lastly, the tenth type, is more so theoretical, it consists of conceptual rules, such as a domain in which you can do practically everything, but that only ever appeared in a singular legend, and most don't believe it to be true."
After the archer was done he started breathing and looking at Cades, seemingly desperate to drink something, a desire that, though very understandable, would not be fulfilled, at least not by Cades.
It was clear that the archer desired to remain silent for a bit, but Cades didn't really care, Cades had always lusted for wisdom, he had always disregarded his own or others safety when he knew he could find out something new, just like when he had experimented on himself and thought about amputating his own thump, only stopping when his mom caught him and later on bought him his first artificer kit, a undoubtably better alternative.
Oh.. just what had he done to deserve such a great mother..
But that happy thought soon vanished as his eyes focused on the archer once more and he began uttering a new question, interested about something else, something that was part of what was explained and yet not at all.
