Long Zhi shook his head and said, "No, it's different. The Rising Magician Contest has very strict requirements, and the contestants must be under the age of twenty-five. Even contestants sent by the Ice God Tower are not They can all win the championship. After all, it is difficult for a young magician to have strong strength. However, Nian Bing is different. There is still a year before the Magician Conference starts. Based on his current situation, with this With various magic materials from the guild, at that time, he may not know how far he can improve. It is very likely that he will become a superstar. If he can win the championship, our guild can also feel proud in the empire. Ice God Tower wants to suppress it It won't be that easy for us."
Long Ling said suspiciously: "You should tell Nian Bing these words! What's the use of telling me?"
Long Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Of course it is useful. Linger, since your mother passed away, Dad has been taking you with you. You are the treasure in Dad's heart. Frankly speaking, Dad attaches great importance to the trade union, but you are definitely not related to the union. Equivalent existence. I will ask you a question now, and you must answer me honestly. Do you like Nian Bing?"
Long Ling never thought that his father would ask such a question, his pretty face flushed immediately, he lowered his head shyly, playing with his lapel with both hands, unable to speak.
Long Zhi smiled and said: "Why? Don't you talk? Could it be that young talents like Nian Bing can't attract my daughter? Baby girl, your conditions can't be too high. Think about it, if you can marry Nian Bing , it will be convenient to eat in the future.”
"No, Dad." Long Ling lowered his head and murmured: "Dad, Nian Bing is indeed very good, but we have only known each other for such a short time, how can we say whether we like it or not? You don't want to Force Linger!"
Long Zhi laughed and said: "Okay, okay, don't force me, then I'll talk to Luo Rou and see if she is interested in Nian Bing."
"Don't." Long Ling raised his head anxiously and looked at his father, "Dad, don't! I, I..."
Long Zhi looked at his daughter with a half-smile, and said, "Why, is Ling'er going to tell the truth?"
Long Ling said angrily: "Dad, you are so bad. Yes, I admit that I have a good impression of Nian Bing. However, you can also see that he doesn't seem to care about anything other than magic and cooking. "
Long Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "As long as you like him, everything else is fine. Although Dad is a bit utilitarian, he will never let his daughter marry someone he doesn't love. Linger, remember what Dad said If you really like Nian Bing, don't give up, and you have to act early, as long as you can catch his heart, all problems will be solved. Do you understand what Dad means?"
Long Ling lowered his head again, "But, Dad, she is a girl after all, do you want me to reveal my thoughts to him?"
Long Zhi shook his head, smiled and said: "Of course not, subtle influence is enough, after all, you are together every day now, I think, my daughter is so beautiful, Nian Bing is not a fool, it is impossible not to notice. However, when necessary, you can also give him some hints. I can see that the girl Xue Jing also has a good impression of Nian Bing. If the old fox Xueji pushes the flames, it will be difficult to say. You don’t want to put your beloved Give it to a good friend."
Long Ling looked at his father in a daze, "I, I don't know."
Long Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, forget it, the so-called mechanism is too smart, and I am too utilitarian. You young people always pay attention to fate, so go with you. However, Dad hopes you can persuade Nian Bing Represent our union to participate in the cutting-edge magician conference in a year, and we can discuss other matters later."
Long Ling nodded and said: "Father, I will try my best, but I can't promise you anything now, because I don't know what Nian Bing is thinking. One year is still a long time, I will definitely work hard , I also hope that the situation of the union will improve. Then I will go first."
Long Zhi nodded and said: "Go, come to me at night and take the white scroll you just bought. Nian Bing needs it."
Nian Bing flipped through the magic book in his hand. It was already late at night, and Long Ling was sitting not far from him meditating. This book introducing various advanced magic circles finally turned to the last page. Nian Bing was a little disappointed. Although the magic circle recorded in the magic book was good, it was worse than what he had imagined, and it didn't have the knowledge he wanted most.
Sighing, just as he was about to close the book, he suddenly discovered that on the last page of the magic book, there was a special mark, which was clearly a magic symbol, one of the symbols used to describe the magic circle, and this symbol represented It means to hide.
With a move in Nian Bing's heart, he condensed his own magic power and carefully stroked the symbols in order.
A faint blue light shone, and when he finished the last stroke, the last night of the magic book was suddenly rendered blue, the blue of ice, and the handwriting on the page began to change, the original symbols and words completely changed.
"The magic circle is used to connect the heaven and the earth, balance the various magic elements between the heaven and the earth, so that they can be better used by magicians. However, as a magician, close combat always suffers. When encountering martial arts When cultivating as a high-strength person, it is difficult to win in one-on-one situations. In response to this situation, the magic circle can undergo a special change to form a special formation, which is engraved on the scroll In fact, assisting the magic on the original scroll can play a special role. This kind of burst is called trigger. The so-called trigger means that when the person holding the magic scroll encounters a certain degree of attack, the scroll will automatically explode , to protect your master, the degree of attack can be set by yourself in the triggering circle, the magic circle is as follows, please study and use it yourself. Special reminder, this magic circle can only be added after the magic scroll has been completed. Once If the attachment fails, the scroll will be scrapped automatically, please use it with caution."
Seeing this, Nian Bing's heart suddenly became active, and he finally understood why when a magician reached the level of a wizard, he was no longer afraid of a duel with warriors. It was not because the magician was powerful enough , but because of the existence of this triggering circle! Once an enemy makes a sneak attack on the magician, as long as the magician has this special scroll, the crisis at that time will naturally be resolved, and the magician will be given a certain amount of time to chant the spell. Good thing, really good thing, thanks to myself Pay attention to this, otherwise, if you let it go, this wonderful magic circle will slip away.
Thinking of this, Nian Bing immediately plunged into research. It is very difficult to describe this special magic circle. Not only does it require extremely high magic control, but it also requires a huge amount of mana as support. To draw such a trigger magic circle, It was even more difficult than drawing a level 6 magic scroll.
In fact, what Nian Bing didn't know was that the actual use of this kind of magic array was not widespread. Although it was recorded in the magician unions of various empires, it was extremely difficult to make this kind of magic array, and the success rate was even lower. Scary, the magic scroll itself is extremely precious, who is willing to use high-level scrolls to do this kind of experiment of triggering the magic circle? After all, it is too wasteful, so even if it is produced, it can only be applied to some low-level magic, and has long been abandoned by most magicians.
The main reason why wizards can fight against warriors is because of the support from the magicians union. Magicians who have reached the realm of magicians often carry many magic items. But it must be equipped for them. Among them, magic items used for early warning have always been the most popular. Of course, the price is also the most expensive. With this kind of magic item, magicians can predict the danger in advance and prepare for it. The strength is powerful, and magicians above the level of magicians often have powerful scrolls for protection. Then use the time bought by the scroll to recite powerful magic. This is the real reason why they can fight against warriors. Of course, under normal circumstances, magicians seldom act alone unless necessary, and they are accompanied by warrior companions, so as to best protect their safety. When you have to act alone, unless you are a very conceited magician, generally speaking, you will choose casual clothes to conceal your identity. Of course, this kind of behavior is carried out in secret, otherwise, they will inevitably be laughed at by their peers.
Nian Bing's research is not directly related to the method of describing the magic circle, but to directly study the principle of triggering the magic circle. Through his familiarity with various magic circle symbols, he carefully looks for the principle of triggering the magic circle. In principle, there is no need to memorize the magic circle at all, and you can apply it more flexibly, and even add your own things to it. Concentrating on research is often the most time-consuming. When Nian Bing basically figured it out, the sky outside was already bright. The feeling of tiredness permeated the whole body, but the new results of the research made Nian Bing extremely happy.
"Eat something." Long Ling's voice awakened Nian Bing, who was immersed in joy, and turned his head to look, only to see Long Ling standing beside him with a tray, squatting down, and carefully put the tray on On the ground, there were two steamed buns, a stack of stewed meat and a bowl of porridge in the tray. Long Ling blamed him: "I haven't slept all night. Could it be that these magic materials really attract you so much?"
Nian Bing was about to reach out to grab the steamed buns, but Long Ling opened his hand, "Your hands are dirty, wipe your hands first, wipe your face before eating." While talking, he handed a soft towel to Nian Bing ice.
The towel was very moist, very comfortable to hold in the hand, and exuded a faint fragrance. When Nian Bing looked at Long Ling, he suddenly felt very warm. This feeling cannot be described in words, "Linger, thank you, You have been taking care of me these days."
Long Ling smiled slightly and said: "We are friends! Moreover, the more successful your research is, the better it will be for our trade union. Nian Bing, the method of concentration you taught me is really useful. Your magic control has increased, thank you."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Thank you, it was all your own efforts." Wiping his face with a towel, and then cleaning his hands, Nian Bing suddenly felt much better. I didn't sleep all night, my stomach was already hungry, I didn't feel it before, when I relaxed, my stomach almost screamed, and the tray was cleared while I was wolfing down. Although these are not delicious, but at this time It tastes very sweet.
"Eat slowly, don't choke. In fact, it's not good for you to eat like this. You don't have any rules at all. Nian Bing, you need to rest more. You have plenty of time, so why rush for a while?"
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry! After learning everything and fulfilling the agreement with Uncle Xueji, I will leave here. Staying in one place all the time is not good for me. I My wish is to travel around the world, the so-called reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and now my field of vision is too narrow."
Long Ling's heart trembled, "Nian Bing, do you have to leave? Ice Snow City is actually..."
Nian Bing lowered his head, did not look at Long Ling's moving eyes, nodded, and said firmly: "I must go. When the master passed away, I promised him that I must become the best chef. Eight years Wuchu, I'm just taking the first step. Linger, thank you for caring about me all the time, but man, my ambition is everywhere, maybe one day I'll come back when I'm tired."
Long Ling blurted out: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Nian Bing was shocked all over, and looked up at Long Ling. From her gentle eyes, Nian Bing saw many things, "Ling'er, don't be like this? I don't know when I will come back, whether I can Come back, I understand your intentions, but I can't delay your life. Treat me as a passer-by in your life. With your heart, you will definitely find someone more suitable for you. "
Long Ling bit his lip, slowly got up with the tray, and whispered: "I understand, I am not good enough for you."
"No." Nian Bing stood up and grabbed Long Ling's shoulders with both hands, "I am not good enough for you, Ling'er, if you still can't make me fall in love, then unless I have a heart of stone, but, I am now There can't be any involvement, I still have a lot to do. No one knows what will happen in the future, right? I don't want to talk about relationships at all right now, that's too extravagant for me."
