Link never thought that he, who was almost a scumbag on earth, would be able to calm down one day, holding an extremely boring magic book, and looking at it for most of the day.
In the beginning, he forced himself to watch, and it was really painful to watch. Facing those boring formulas for calculating magic energy and magic runes that looked like ghost symbols, he was really dazzled.
But when he completely calmed down, the more he watched, the more interested he became, and the more he watched, the more focused he became.
Reading the magic book this time is different from reading "The Theory of Magic Energy Turbulence" in Celine's room last night. Yesterday was a rough observation, without much thought, let alone practice, but this time, Link concentrated all his energy.
He turned very slowly, and from time to time, he would stop to think.
According to the book, magic is roughly divided into six branches, which are elemental, mysterious, illusion, summoning, enchanting, and alchemy.
In the low-level magic field below level 3, the differences between these branches are not too big. A magician can master magic across fields, but after level 3 or above, if a magician wants to achieve something, he must choose the same specialization .
A magician can usually only master one series of magic, and things that cross domains basically disappear after level 4, with rare exceptions.
The fireball and stone thorns listed in Link's "Magic Basic Structure" belong to elemental magic, and the secondary invisibility is illusion. As for the mystery and summoning, there is no one. These two magics are very Difficult, difficult to pass on through books, you must find a special tutor.
After reading the magic structure of Fireball, Link took out the Crescent Wand and began to try to cast the spell.
The process of casting a spell is divided into three steps, which are guiding the magic energy, constructing the magic structure, and launching the magic.
The most critical thing is to build a magic structure, and the success of casting depends on this step.
Link settled down, followed the knowledge in the book, and operated step by step. After about two seconds, the tip of the crescent wand shone brightly, and a small light spot appeared in the air at the tip of the wand.
This is the prototype of fireball.
This spot of light was only as big as a grain of rice. After it lasted for about a second, it turned into a spot of light and disappeared into the air with a soft 'poof'.
The construction of the magic structure failed, and the spellcasting was forcibly terminated.
"It's a little difficult."
Link smacked his lips. This is completely different from the magic learned by using free points. The magic energy suddenly becomes a naughty little thing. He wants them to go east, but they go west. He wants them to be stable, but they go west. Chaos, very difficult to control.
Link tried again.
Three seconds later, there was another 'poof', and a ball of light the size of a small stone collapsed into a spot of light and disappeared into the air. The fireball technique still failed.
Feeling the hot wind blowing towards his face, Link was glad that what he tested was only a level 0 magic. If it was a level 4 Pyroblast, if he failed to cast the spell halfway, he would definitely blow himself to pieces.
Magic can be said to be the most powerful force in the world, but it is a double-edged sword. The more powerful a magician is, the more cautious he is in casting spells. This was said by a great magician, and Link felt the same way.
The collapse of level 4 magic is unbearable. If it is legendary magic, it must have lost its soul.
In fact, if a magician wants to learn advanced magic, he must rely on the help of various equipment, the most important of which is a fully functional magic tower.
A magic tower can help the magician monitor the situation around the magic tower, and the various equipment in the tower can also ensure the safety of the magician's life when he is experimenting with new magic.
However, although the magic tower is good, it is very expensive. It needs a lot of magic and anti-magic materials to build it. The most common magic tower costs more than 10,000 gold coins, which is really an astronomical figure.
Being powerful comes at a price.
Magic is a very special thing that burns money, and the speed of spending money is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
Of course, it's not time for Link to consider the magic tower yet, and the fire bomb technique is only a level-0 magic, so he can experiment with it with confidence.
The third, fourth, and fifth times still failed, until the sixth time, Link spent 5 seconds, and a white, glass bead-sized one finally appeared steadily on the tip of the crescent wand.
Link intuitively felt the entire process of magic generation.
"Magic energy pours in, the magic structure is completed, and the fire element is quickly attracted to become a relatively stable structure. It's amazing."
Feeling the warmth emanating from the small fire bomb in front of him, Link felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Fireball was the first magic he really mastered.
But Link also smiled wryly: "Level 0 magic takes 5 seconds to cast. It can only be used to light firewood." '
In the previous game, he could release level 0 magic in 0.1 second, and that would be of combat value.
However, Link believed that practice makes perfect, and he continued to practice.
Because the fire bomb was not fired, the magic energy in the fire bomb was not consumed, so Link didn't have to worry about running out of the little mana in his body. He controlled the recovery of the magic energy, and the fire bomb slowly extinguished. And the mana returned to Link's wand once again.
Then, Link controlled a wave of magic energy to flow out of the wand again to build a magic structure. This time, after about 4 seconds, the fire bomb was completed.
Link developed the feeling and began to repeat it over and over again.
After this practice, he forgot the time again.
He practiced over and over again, and he didn't know when to start. The feeling of releasing the fireball technique by himself and the casting feeling of the fireball technique by relying on free point mathematics were fused together, and it was completely indistinguishable.
With a sound of 'hiss~', a steadily burning fire bomb appeared at the tip of the crescent wand. With a 'poof' sound, the fire bomb went out, and the magic energy retracted at a very fast speed, just as fast as turning on and off lights on the earth.
Unknowingly, Link's casting speed became 0.1 second again, no, not only 0.1 second, but even faster, Link felt that he should be able to release at least 20 fire bombs in one second.
He is now in a very strange state, not only has the fluency of the game system to help cast spells, but he can clearly feel the fine magic structure in the fire bomb, as if the fire bomb technique is his innate magic.
"Have you assisted me in casting spells?" Link couldn't help asking the game system. It was absolutely impossible for him to reach such a level in a short period of time by himself.
The game system replied: 'Of course, repeating the monotonous magic structure will only consume extra energy of the player, and will not help the player's understanding of magic. When the player has fully mastered a spell, this system will intervene to assist the player in casting spells to achieve the fastest casting speed. '
"Then how fast can I release a level 0 magic now?"
"0.0512 seconds. This is already extremely close to the limit speed of the fire element gathering, and it cannot be increased any further."
Elemental magic, its casting time is divided into two parts.
One is the time to build the magic energy structure, which depends on the magician's thinking speed, which can be continuously improved through training.
The second is the time for elements to gather, which will fluctuate with the concentration of elements in the environment. In the icy and snowy extreme north and the scorching southern desert, the fire element of the latter gathers ten times faster than the former!
In Link's room, the element gathering time of Fireball is 0.05 seconds. This time is the speed limit of the magic of Fireball, and it cannot be faster.
"Oh, it's fast enough." 0.0512 seconds, almost as fast as lightning, Link is already very satisfied with this speed.
He practiced the release of the fire bomb technique again. This time, Link didn't need to be too distracted to maintain the stability of the magic structure. He had more energy to understand the process of the magic structure's attraction to the fire element.
After more than ten minutes, Link had doubts in his heart: "This magic structure does not seem to be perfect. '
With practice, you have the right to speak. Link really experienced the entire process of casting a spell, and he discovered the flaws in the magic structure of Fireball.
After carefully understanding the magic structure of the fire bullet, Link has more insights: "This magic structure is not useless. Although it is not very efficient in attracting fire elements, it is very stable, the simplest, and the easiest to master. But I Didn't need the benefit, maybe I could try to improve it."
Link is the man of action, ready to go right away.
But at this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Ellette's voice came from outside the door: "Link, it's time to go."
Link turned his head to look out the window, and before he knew it, the sky was already bright.
He hurriedly replied: "Wait a minute, I'm coming."
Put away the crescent wand, hurriedly washed it, and tried to make myself as energetic as possible, but from the silver mirror, no matter how she looked, she was very ordinary, and the effect of the weak magic had cut off his spiritual radiance. .
When he opened the door and saw Ellette, Link became more restless.
After a good night's rest, Ailette changed into a new dress. He was extremely energetic, and seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo. Those dark green eyes were clear and deep, almost glowing, making people feel You can tell at a glance that this person has an extremely powerful soul.
There is a magic in magic, called aura detection, which detects various breaths on the target.
Link didn't learn it, but he believes that if he uses aura detection on Ellette now, the opponent's body will definitely be covered with brilliant magic energy.
"Hey, you really deserve to be the number one magical genius and the number one handsome man in the game, so handsome and unreasonable!" Link couldn't help but sigh.
After the two had breakfast in the hall, they set off.
East Valley Magic Academy is located in a valley 30 kilometers away from the southeast of Hegu Town. The road is not too far, and the road is flat. After walking for more than two hours, the two saw a huge valley entrance.
There is a huge stone tablet at the entrance, with the characters of East Valley Higher Magic Academy written on it. There is an emblem on the top, a lion's head in the middle, and two magic wands crossed below, which means that magic protects the Norton Kingdom.
There was an ordinary two-story log cabin next to the stone tablet, and there was a yard in front of the door. In the yard, a white-haired old man in a gray-blue magic robe was lying on a bench basking in the sun.
Link looked at the old man, and the other party's information immediately appeared.
Vincent
Level 2 Ordinary Magician
Status: Constant aura detection
Status: East Valley School of Magic Entrance Qualification Tester
At this time, Vincent also saw Link and Ellette. He glanced casually and asked, "Are you here to learn magic?"
"Yes." The two replied respectfully.
Vincent picked up the wand in his hand, pointed at Ailette, nodded and said, "You can. As long as you can afford the tuition, you can study in the valley."
Pointing at Link again, he shook his head: "You, the magic talent is not good, unless you can prove that you have enough magic insight, otherwise, where did you come from and where do you go back."
