During dinner, the three members of the Baruch family and the housekeeper 'Ciri' had dinner together. Little Wharton was also cheering on the table, making the living room laugh constantly. After dinner was over and the old housekeeper Ciri carried Wharton to bed, Linley started talking with his father Hogg.

"By the way, father, magician or warrior, which one is more powerful?" Linley asked.

Hogg glanced at Linley, smiled, and then shook his head: "Linley, magicians and fighters are good at each other. In terms of strength, magicians and fighters of the same level should be slightly better than magicians. The most important thing is... the status of a magician is extremely high, one level higher than that of a warrior. For example, the eighth-level dual-type magician just now, in terms of status, even a ninth-level warrior is slightly weaker than him. "

"The strength is slightly better, why is the status so different?" Linley wondered.

Hogg smiled and said: "Before that, you must understand the classification of magicians. Magicians are divided into nine levels, the first and second levels are junior magicians, the third and fourth levels are intermediate magicians, and the fifth and sixth levels are advanced. Magician. The seventh, eighth, and ninth levels above, these three levels are extremely terrifying, of course, there are sanctuary magicians above the ninth-level magicians!"

"The reason why magicians have a high status is because of their great destructive power." Hogg took a glass of juice and took a sip.

"Destructive power?" Linley looked at his father.

Hogg put down his cup, nodded and said, "A warrior, even a dragon blood warrior, can only kill nearly a hundred enemies with one sword. Once faced with an army of one million, he will only kill the commander at most, but if a commander dies, the enemy will be killed. A new commander can be replaced. And what about the sanctuary magician? A forbidden magic can destroy a city and destroy hundreds of thousands of troops. If hundreds of thousands of troops are gone, what is the use of the commander who is still alive? For For a country, the magician of the sanctuary is more terrifying than an army."

lei suddenly understood.

"Let's not talk about sanctuary magicians, even the eighth and ninth level magicians can exert astonishing power in war. Therefore, the status of magicians is extremely noble." Hogg said with a light smile.

lei nodded slightly.

In the magnolia continent with the theme of 'war', it is conceivable that the status of the magician is so high.

"Oh, by the way, father, I remember reading it in a book, saying that magicians are weaker than warriors. But I just saw the magician jump off the back of the raptor easily, Are you saying that his body is weak?" Linley asked.

Hogg replied, "Let's talk about this later, Linley, you should know that ordinary people on the Magnolia Continent have a lifespan of one hundred, twenty or thirty years. Most powerful magicians and warriors live longer. Generally, it is two or three hundred years old, or even three or four hundred years old, and the maximum human life span is five hundred years old.

lei nodded.

This he had seen from books.

"But Linley, you know how powerful magicians and warriors live so long?" Hogg asked immediately.

Linley was startled.

Formidable magicians and warriors lived three or four hundred years old, Linley took it for granted and never thought about the reason.

Seeing Linley's expression, Hogg couldn't help laughing: "Linley, first of all I want to tell you that there are fire, water, wind, earth, thunder, light, darkness and other elements in the world. Whether it is a magician or a warrior, they all absorb the elements between heaven and earth to cultivate, which also leads to the difference in attributes whether it is magic or fighting spirit. If you observe carefully, you can find that the mercenary team just now The fighting spirit of the four male warriors, the red-haired strong man at the head, is the fire attribute fighting spirit. Among the other three, there are wind and water type fighting spirits... Fighting spirit is divided into attributes, and magic is also divided into attributes!”

From the time of his birth to the present, Linley realized for the first time that it turned out that the magicians and warriors absorbed the same elements of heaven and earth.

"The reason why powerful magicians and warriors live longer is because when magicians absorb the elements between heaven and earth into their bodies and refine them into 'magic power', those elements flow in the body and are naturally absorbed by the body. It is absorbed by various organs, muscles and bones in the body. It makes the magician's physique get better and better. The better the physique, the longer the natural lifespan. The same reason - the warriors cultivate Dou Qi, but also absorb the elements between heaven and earth, and pure in the body Refined into 'Dou Qi'. Elements circulate in the body, and also improve their physique. The stronger the fighter, the better the physique and the longer the natural lifespan." Hogg explained everything clearly.

Linley suddenly realized in his heart.

According to what my father said, the magician's body has also been improved by the elements of heaven and earth, and his body is very good.

"Father, but why do people say that the magician is weak?" Linley asked in confusion.

Hogg shook his head and said, "I still don't understand? When a magician is weak, it is not that he is really weak, but that his body has become a 'weakness' compared to fighters of the same level. For example, an eighth-level magician , Although his body has not been cultivated, he can still catch up with the second- and third-level warriors. However, compared with the eighth-level warriors, the eighth-level magician's body is weak."

Linley patted his head and smiled embarrassedly.

I didn't even think about such a simple question, and I really became rigid in my thinking.

"However, although magicians can't fight in close combat, magicians also have ways to deal with them. One is to use magic shields, such as 'earth shield', 'ice shield', 'wind shield', 'light shield' and so on... , first use defensive magic Resist, and then attack with attack magic!"

"And the powerful magician, there is another way to conquer the 'Warcraft'!"

Hearing this, Linley's eyes lit up.

Linley also wanted to conquer a monster, such as a powerful raptor.

"The powerful monsters are enough to protect the magician and prevent the enemy from getting close to him. In this way, the magician can cast powerful magic and kill the opponent directly." Hogg said with a smile.

Linley immediately said eagerly, "Father, how can we conquer a demon beast?"

Seeing Linley's expression, Hogg couldn't help but smile and said, "To conquer a beast, there must be two conditions. The first is to make the beast willingly surrender to you, and the second is to set up a soul contract magic circle. , to make the beast become his slave."

"The first condition is very difficult. If you want the beast to surrender willingly, I am afraid that only by defeating it head-on will it be willing. For example, if you want to conquer the raptor, you must first defeat the raptor." Lin Lei was speechless for a while at his father's words. .

I want to conquer the raptor, but do I have the strength to defeat the raptor

"The second condition is to set up the soul contract magic circle. This magic circle is very troublesome. At least it must be a seventh-level magician to have enough strength to set it up." Hogg said solemnly.

Linley was taken aback: "Father, according to what you said... Aren't only seventh-level magicians, or magicians of higher rank, able to conquer monsters?"

"No, not necessarily. If you have enough money, you can buy the 'Soul Contract' scroll, and then you just need to tear it up and you can directly form the 'Soul Contract Magic Array'. However, the 'Soul Contract' scroll is very expensive. ' Hogg laughed to himself.

"how expensive?" lei asked.

"The last time I heard it was a scroll of 10,000 gold coins, and it was still worthless." Hogg's words made Linley smile bitterly.

To conquer a monster, the most difficult thing is to defeat.

Of course you can conquer weak monsters, but what's the use of subduing weak monsters? To conquer the powerful monster, do you have enough ability to defeat it? If you use conspiracy and tricks, how can you make Warcraft willing

It is not easy to surrender willingly.

The second condition, which seems to be secondary, is to set up the soul contract magic circle. This condition has also been determined. Those who can conquer the monsters are not powerful magicians, or those rich people. Spending 10,000 gold coins to buy a 'Soul Contract' magic scroll is a nobleman, and he does not dare to be so extravagant if he is not rich enough.

Linley pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

"If I really want to conquer the beasts, with our family's economic situation, I'll have to become a seventh-level magician, and then go to conquer the beasts." Linley thought to himself, and Linley himself knew that this path is very difficult. Disaster.

The first hurdle of this road is - do you have the 'talent' to become a magician!

After all, that's only one in ten thousand hope. If you don't even have talent, it's impossible to become a magician.
