Chapter 126: Crafting Arrays... Learning About Arrays!
The moment Kranos stepped into the courtyard behind the Array Elder, he was greeted by the low hum of spiritual energy humming through the air.
Thin, faintly glowing inscriptions lined the stone pillars and tiled floor, forming a complex formation beneath his feet.
The building itself was circular and open-roofed, allowing light from the amber sun to stream in like golden threads weaving across the arcane symbols.
Four disciples turned at once, their golden eyes landing on the human boy walking beside their master. Each pair held a different emotion—disdain, curiosity, amusement, and wariness.
The Array Elder who looked like a stern elf with long pale green hair tied behind his back and silver robes trimmed with glyphs, said nothing at first.
He walked forward to a low stone platform, where a large formation diagram was engraved. With a flick of his hand, the lines lit up in shimmering blue light.
"This," the elder began, his voice even and cool, "is the foundation of our Royal Elven Array Path. Before you are my personal disciples. From now on, you, too, Kranos, will be permitted to attend my lectures and participate in my array teachings, so long as you can keep up."
He turned his head slowly to regard Kranos. "I do not like to train slow learners, Nor do I cater to like training people of other races. I am only doing this for the the prince and princess, fail to grasp what I teach, and you will be dismissed from learning despite their help."
Kranos face held a slight frown but he soon bowed his head slightly. " I understand."
"Good."
The elder motioned to the others. "Introduce yourselves."
