"Thank you, teacher. wWw,QuANbEn-XiAoShUo,CoM" Salin was filled with joy and returned to his room with his money bag in hand. He put the money bag and the Imperial Bank's deposit checks in his box. In the box were expired IOUs, documents, and his family crest. Salin stuffed all the money into the box and felt it was inappropriate, so he took it out again and didn't know where to put it.
After struggling for a while, Salin felt that he was a little ridiculous. With the teacher here, what kind of thief would dare to break into this house
Thinking about Jason's time at the City Health Department, he used his fingers to release magic one after another without even reciting a spell, and Salin's heart became excited again. If you can do this, who else would dare to bully you!
Magic is the only truth in this world, and people with magical abilities have transcended the law.
Thinking of this, Salin couldn't sit still. He put the money on the bed and came to the room where the magic books were placed.
Looking at the rows of bookshelves in the room, Salin became impatient and read them one by one. He walked back and came to the shelf where level 0 magic books were placed.
Level 0 magic is not the most numerous magic, but is actually less than level 1 magic. Even so, there are four volumes of "Level 0 Magic General Guide", each of which is extremely thick.
Salin took down a book, sat down, leaned against the bookshelf and began to read.
Reading, Illumination, Burning, Detect Magic, Detect Poison, Invisible Shield...
Salin was a little dazzled as he read one by one. He found that he really didn't know how to choose to study without the support of a theoretical system. After leaning against the bookshelf in a daze for a while, Salin felt that he had lost control. Even if you are eager to improve your strength, you should not aim too high. If the teacher asks you to learn in order, skipping the previous basics will definitely leave hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, Salin put "Level 0 Magic Summary" back on the bookshelf, returned to the front, and read the basic knowledge of magic step by step.
Magic is divided into six categories according to attributes, but in fact, when learning magic, it is generally classified according to the purpose of magic. Attack system, protection system, treatment system, alchemy system, potion system, etc. In addition to the six systems, there is also the summoning system. This is a truly unpopular magic. Its origin time is relatively short, less than 10,000 years, and in 5000 It declined years ago.
There are three stages to releasing a magic - preparation stage, completion stage and release stage.
The preparation stage refers to the part of reciting incantations, assisting with gestures, gathering elements, and resonating magic power. Everything requires the mental power of the magician to control. After training, the magician can shorten the time to prepare magic, recite the spell silently, and omit gestures.
The completion stage means that the magic has been formed and can be released at any time. This stage can be extended. The magician retains the prepared magic and prepares the second magic at the same time to achieve the effect of intensive strike. For example, after the magician prepares a fireball, he can prepare a second fireball at the same time without releasing it. When the second fireball is ready, release two fireballs at the same time.
This technique is called secondary casting, and it is a common method used by magicians to improve their striking ability.
Similarly, the second casting also requires the magician to have strong mental power, otherwise it cannot be controlled. If elemental disorder occurs, the magician himself will be seriously injured.
The release phase is not as simple as releasing the prepared magic. This phase includes locking the target, final cutting of elements, and time control.
All three parts must be completed by mental power. Locking the target is the most basic ability. Without tracking ability, there is no difference between a magician and an archer. The final cutting of elements is the key to magic power consumption. Without this ability, the magician's consumption will always be the maximum value. If the control is not good, a first-level magician may release two first-level magics to completely consume the magic string, instead of the ordinary twelve indivual.
Time control refers to continuing to control the released magic so that the magic can be completely released at the most suitable time. This skill is also called Level 2 Spellcasting. Senior mages will skillfully master secondary spellcasting to control the rhythm of the battle. Likewise, secondary spellcasting is used in the creation of magic scrolls and in alchemy.
Only by fully mastering these abilities can one be considered a qualified magician.
Saleen also learned that the numerical values in the basic attributes of a magic are not fixed.
Casting time, casting distance, and energy units are all variable. The casting time of magic is not calculated in seconds, but in frames. One frame is equivalent to one sixtieth of a second.
Instant casting speed is not 0 frames, but 2 frames. The saying that magic is instantaneous actually means that the three stages from preparation, completion to release consume a total of 2 frames of time, which is two-sixtieths of a second. No matter how powerful a magician is, he cannot continue to compress this time.
What caused the 0-frame illusion was the second casting. That is to say, after the magician completes a magic, he does not release it and keeps the completed magic. The first completed magic will be released at the same time as the second magic is released. In fact, the release phase after the completion phase of this magic is carried out at the same time as the release phase of the second magic. This has a great impact on the spirit of the magician. The strength requirements are extremely high.
This kind of skill is called advanced control, and it is very dangerous behavior.
Salin read it bit by bit and realized that he was so ignorant, thinking that magic was just a powerful means of attack. He didn't expect that the basic knowledge of magic was so complicated. If he didn't study hard, his future progress would be extremely difficult.
Without this basic knowledge, not only is the magician's own ability limited to a small range, but he is also unable to judge the abilities of others.
For example, the numerical minimization and maximization of casting time, the numerical conversion between casting distance and attack power, the relationship between energy units and elemental cutting, etc. Advanced magicians can make instant calculations to determine the effect of the magic they release, instead of leaving it to fate.
control! The power of magic lies in control!
Salin read patiently and began to learn mathematics and learn how to calculate these magic formulas. This mathematical knowledge is also key to drawing magic circles.
Three more months passed in the blink of an eye, and Salin barely stepped out of his room except for meals and convenience. The further he studied, the more depressed he felt. His intelligence and spiritual power were so perfect, but his elemental affinity was not good enough. Even if his elemental affinity is only the standard of ordinary people, he is still enough to become an excellent magician.
However, he is a loser in terms of elemental affinity, which makes it difficult to form a magic string. Without the magic string, all this is just a castle in the air, just talk on paper.
A year has passed, and Salin still has the ability of a level 1 apprentice and a level 2 apprentice. He has now learned 5 level 0 spells, Reading, Detect Poison, Acid Splash, Fire Burning and Elemental Fusion. He has basically mastered the rules of meditation. Through meditation, he can quickly restore the lost magic elements.
The reason for this effect is that the magic elements deposited in Salin's body are too rare. Even if he relies on natural recovery and does nothing, it only takes 10 minutes.
What can three level 0 magics do? It can't do anything. If it's used for fighting, it's better to give Salin a knife. After at least a year of recuperation, Salin's body has become much healthier. Although he still looks so thin, his strength has actually become stronger.
The food sent by the red-haired swordsman last time has been eaten, and Salin has to enter the city again. Now he no longer has the ridiculous ideas he had six months ago, about exquisite clothes, fashionable hairstyles, and decent cars and horses. To a magician, this all seems so silly and ridiculous. Only knowledge is the magician's only reliance.
After putting on that ridiculous robe and the black boots Jason bought him, Salin said hello to Jason and left the ancestral home. Jason gave him two bags of gold coins, a total of 100, and a list of items. The magician's experiments require a large amount of low-level materials. Jason's laboratory is almost always in operation, and his basic materials are almost consumed in a year.
Ceylon is a port city where you can order many things that are not available locally. It only takes a week to get the goods. This is also the reason why Jason chose to stay here. This is a relatively remote city where you can buy necessities.
Coming to Ceylon City again, this dilapidated city was completely different in Salin's eyes. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Salin appearing on the road, they stood up straight from a distance.
The soldiers at the city gate are affiliated with the city lord's palace and have nothing to do with the city health department, but everyone has not forgotten the lesson learned half a year ago. The magician went on a killing spree, but the city lord acted as if nothing had happened. The terrible magician lived outside the city, and the Metatrin boy became the magician's student.
The eyes of the two soldiers were very strange, with envy, jealousy, and fear mixed together, and they looked like they were making a mocking smile.
"Good morning, Master Maittrin!"
Salin nodded, not knowing how to answer. The soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion are said to be much better than those in the City Health Department. They have never made it difficult for me to enter the city by myself before. At that time, I was like a ball of air, and it was smellless air. As long as he doesn't come forward to ask for a beating, no one will be able to see him.
Master Metatrin? If it were half a year ago, Salin might be proud. After what happened at the City Health Department, Salin has matured a lot. He understands that what these people are afraid of is the teacher, and they are afraid that a fifth-level magician will blow off their heads.
Salin faced the sunshine and walked along the road towards the dock. There is a long street at the pier, full of various shops. The only equipment store in Ceylon City is here. Salin walked in and almost bumped into a young man.
The young man opposite was about the same age as Salin. He seemed to be frightened by Salin. He stumbled and was knocked back. Although Salin was just a magic apprentice, his mental strength was comparable to that of a real magician, and his perception was sharp. He noticed that the young man's hand was touching his money bag.
This hand was extended very secretly, and Salin was very happy. It was a bad luck for him, and he encountered a thief when he went out.
He pushed his hand gently, and with a flash of fire, he pressed on the young man's hand. The boy opposite felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand, as if he had been burned by a soldering iron. He looked up in shock and suddenly shouted: "Salin, is that you?"
