"Warriors strengthen their bodies to change the world, mages use their own will and ideas to influence the world, don't use the stupid warrior's way to understand magic, otherwise you will only be an apprentice in your life, or a sword wielding magic idiot warrior."
Heloise is right, I did go the wrong way in the past, just because I was troubled by the lack of large-scale and long-range attack capabilities in my Paladin career, I blindly chose ice magic without worrying about my actual situation. .
Demand determines supply, and I really didn't really need to dig deep into the potential of ice magic back then.
Even though my magical talent is extremely average, well, as Heloise said, my perception of the essence of the elements is so dull that I still have a system forcibly improving it, but it still soars.
But at the same time as the bottleneck is gone, the accumulation period of being stuck by the bottleneck and the period of substantial growth after the breakthrough have also been lost.
This is like a science and engineering otaku who uses pure rational thinking to analyze literary works. Maybe he can analyze the attractive advantages of that literary work, and he speaks the truth, but if he is asked to write his own splendid articles, he can only end up with Written dry tofu cubes.
Because he lacked the emotion and commitment to pull all the bits and pieces into a really good story, it ended up being mostly a simple press release.
According to Heloise, learning magic is actually quite similar to artistic creation. They use their own will to depict a small world in their hearts, and then use their own small world to influence the real world.
Then, it will inevitably require perception and a strong personal subjective color.
These thoughts and processes seem to have nothing to do with strength, but are actually very important. They determine the path of the mage. After losing these perceptual knowledge, the path will naturally become narrower and narrower.
I am the most obvious example of learning literature (elemental magic) that requires perceptual knowledge as mathematics (exercising the accumulated martial skills). In the end, I can only follow the script, imitate the traces of predecessors, learn standard magic, and forcefully His ice magic turned into an ice turret.
Accumulating magic power and slamming it into the past has become my final understanding of ice magic. As a super mage who has researched forbidden spells, this is really a waste.
But luckily, the effort is never in vain, even if it's diametrically opposed efforts.
Even if I don't have a perceptual research, the time and energy of rational learning is not wasted, and the fate points spent are also rewarded. Although the rationality is still not conscious, but the perceptual deep in the soul has a perception, um, it's a twist, then It's like "It's obvious that you say no, but your body is very honest."
The crystallization of that understanding and feeling is the soul emblem that only exists once in a lifetime.
[Soul Seal: Seal of Justice (Destruction), Crown of the Dead (Destruction), Ice Walker (Destruction), Son of Light (Destruction)]
On the panel of the system, the four destroyed soul emblems are split into a row. The negligible features of "increase the effect of spells by 1%" and "increase undead spells by 1%" can only be used to commemorate and show their past. exists.
Of course, unless I die to burn my soul again, they'll probably be like that forever.
In my second life, [Ice Walker] was my soul emblem, but obviously, I have been living up to its true meaning.
Pedestrians, people who walk, measure the world with personal footsteps, discover the scenery from the perspective of travelers, understand nature, and understand life.
Ice Walker, in fact, is a snowy mountain traveler who is obsessed with the scenery of the Northland.
The boundless snowy fields, the flowers of the unreachable peak of the mountains, the beauty of life under the dormancy of all things, the avalanche of the sky and the earth, the small world that never freezes under the glaciers, the white wolves howling in the sky, the giant monsters in the snow-capped mountains and The lurking snow leopard, the new seedlings under the snow, life and nature, struggle to coexist in harmony.
Even the gods must remain humble under the real power of nature. Life changes. The rules of nature remain unchanged for thousands of years. In order to survive the difficult winter, unity and cooperation are necessary. .
When Heloise just mentioned the nature of ice that she realized, in my memory, the scenery of the northern country in her hometown was repeated like a lantern.
"It turns out that whether it was then or now, I am homesick."
It was late at night, but thunder began to thunder outside, and he silently stretched out his hand out of the window. What fell on his palm was not the familiar snowflake, but a warm Xia Yu.
What should a lost traveler do if he is homesick? Naturally, I went home, but unfortunately, although the snow scene in my memory is still the same, the flags flying on that land are not the original ones. The snow country that seems to have not changed is no longer my homeland.
"I don't want to go home, at least not now."
Then, since there is no home to go back to, let’s temporarily turn the beauty of your home into a dream scene. Perhaps, one day, the dream will also become a reality.
[Defend that never falls]
The soul is always more honest than its mouth. In the three soul emblems that make up the world of the mind, the ice traveler turns into the snow scene of the motherland, showing its true power, turning into a never-ending snow traveler, depicting that The natural winter and snow and ice beauty of the motherland.
"Oh, it's really an unqualified master, and he doesn't even know the true power of his own soul emblem. Is it because the excessive power blinds the perception? But now that I understand, it shouldn't be too late, so let's snow. ."
In a whisper, the rain outside turned into snowflakes.
The midnight snow, which is limited to the small house, may not be discovered by the neighbors, but it caused bursts of exclamations from the temporary residents in it.
I finally understand that my road of ice magic is not the road of self-righteous fortresses, but the use of magic as a pen to turn the beautiful and dangerous ice field in my memory into a real reality.
"Oh, don't you understand?"
Heloise jumped onto the window sill with a smile, turned into a cat's figure again, and dissipated in the light snow.
And I closed the window, realizing it was just the beginning, turning it into real power, and it's still going on tonight.
At the same time, in the depths of my soul, the soul emblem of the Snowy Night Traveler pattern of [Ice Walker (Destruction): Increases the effect of ice magic by 1%] has quietly changed. At this time, it is [ Ice Walker (broken, recovering): Increases the effect of ice magic by 3%].
"It seems that I really rely too much on the system. The soul is still there, and the body that nurtures the soul is still there. The soul emblem that is the crystal of the soul can naturally be restored. Hehe, take your time. A legend of four soul emblems, Really looking forward to it.”
…
Soon, with the restoration of the soul emblem, my ice magic grew rapidly, and it didn't take long for me to master the final forbidden spell Ice Age, and then used the forbidden spell as a threat to force the Oran Empire to recognize the independence of the Principality of Donglan.
Well, none of the above can happen.
Life is not a dream, you can go a thousand miles in a day just by awakening. That is a story in a novel. In reality, you still have to take it one step at a time.
Even though I have understood the nature of the ice and made a plan for the future development, the problems of the past still exist, that is...
"Sure enough, my elemental magic talent is scum."
It’s still the same magic book, it’s still the same person, even if he understands some truth, it’s still a wooden head, and he still doesn’t quite understand it.
So, after watching it in the middle of the night, in the end, I could only reluctantly close the book, open the panel, and start the old method of the past—using the system to cheat.
"Twenty skill points, I'm really reluctant."
Skill points are a good thing. They can directly allow me to learn a skill or magic, or upgrade a skill or magic. Power and many other aspects have been greatly improved.
And now I have just entered the second-order bronze rank, and I can master the third-level spell at the highest (the relationship between the number of magic circles and the ranks, the first-rank and the first-rank, the second-rank second-rank, the third-rank, the third-rank fourth-rank, the fifth-rank, and the And so on), if you drop more than a dozen skill points at once...
Well, even if the training is disabled, let’s not mention that the higher the level of magic, the more skill points you need to invest in. The number of rings is too high, and the failure rate of spell casting will increase greatly. The magic backlash is easy to kill yourself, so many Putting points into a spell that doesn't have much potential to tap is itself an extreme waste of resources.
The recent fate points are not enough for me to advance to the next level. At this time, I am still a level 21 Order Knight/Chaos Sorcerer King. The skill points of one level at two levels should have only been ten points, but this dual career brought me two While earning twice the skill points, it also gave four times the consumption expenditure.
Before, I was useless at all, because for the Holy Light and Law of Order Knight, I was sure that I could master any skills without skill points, and for the undead spell, now is not the time to learn, so I reserve all of them Now, I plan to forcibly break through when the high-level encounters a bottleneck.
But at this moment, I am afraid that I will soon want to fight, and I can vaguely see the future path. Since order and chaos must develop in a balanced way, then the weak points will naturally get higher investment, plus I am extremely bad. Elemental magic talent, skill points can't be saved.
And if there is any difference, it is through comprehension and understanding of the future road, it is a conscious choice of development direction, accumulation of breakthroughs, and it is no longer a willful choice.
I browsed through the mess of ice magic on the panel, most of which are powerful turret-type magic, but what I need is not them.
Soon, I found my goal.
"I've learned enough about one ring of ice magic, the ice shield, and with the other two magics, I should be able to achieve my goal."
[One Ring of Ice Shield (Black Iron): Forms a thin ice shield on the caster, increasing a small amount of defense ability. If the caster is hit by an enemy, the attacker will be slowed down by Chill for 0.1 seconds]
[Second Ring Frost Breath (Bronze): Continues a cone-shaped ice breath, dealing 1 to 3 points of ice damage and causing a freezing slowdown effect to the target. It has a range of up to two meters and a duration of no more than six seconds.]
[Three Rings of Ice Ring (Bronze): With the caster as the center point, a circle of ice is created and exploded. The ring can fly up to 15 meters, and those who touch it will be frozen and slowed down]
The attack power of these three magics is almost zero, but they are rare ice deceleration magics. If my estimation is correct, they should all belong to the same series and can become the cornerstones leading to higher places.
"The first is the close-fitting ice shield."
The ice armor, which can be ignored by the naked eye, does not have much effect, but it makes me wrapped in the element of ice, and it is one of the few magics that can directly create the slowing down of the cold, and it is these colds that cause the attacker to slow down the speed.
At this time, as I continued to drive my magic power, a lot of cold air was created from the ice armor.
"And then there's Frost Breath."
The icy breath turned into a real fog of ice, the cold air was purified and evolved, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice.
"Finally, it's the Ring of Ice."
With the decree, the accumulated cold air was instantly detonated, and the room was directly reimbursed, whether it was the furniture or the ceiling, all covered with thin ice.
The chain magic has played a powerful role in 1+1+1"3, but I still frown and worry.
If it is just for this effect, it is enough to invest a high-end magic, the huge investment of two skill points is not for this.
"Isn't it enough? Well, it probably isn't enough, then, there's only that magic left."
So, I opened the panel again and found that large-scale frozen magic.
[Six Rings Blizzard (Golden Rank): Create a small-scale blizzard, and use the falling snow to form a large-scale frost damage and slowdown effect]
"Even if the magic of the sixth ring is lit, it cannot be used for a long time. With three skill points, don't let me lose everything."
The next second I mastered the blizzard, the ice armor was suddenly disbanded, and the cold air in the room was suddenly recovered.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have acquired the combination skill 'Freezing Air'. This skill is a simulation of the severe cold in nature, and no life can be completely exempted. - Boy, this time is a good choice, you finally know how to use it. Okay. Steel is used on the blade, cherish your skill points."
[Freezing air: A silent and deadly cold air that can be attached to the body and the blade, and can also be shot out with the ice magic. The touched person will slow down any action by 1% and receive 1 point of freezing per second. Damage, this ability can be superimposed, if the deceleration effect exceeds 20%, it will suffer from various negative effects such as freezing, rigid thinking, etc. If the deceleration effect exceeds 50%, it may be thought that the hypothermia will die at any time]
[Conditions of use: Soul Emblem Frost Walker, if the host breaks through the golden rank to master blizzard magic, the freezing air will automatically evolve to the next stage.]
Sure enough, my guess was not wrong. Under the catalytic effect of my soul emblem, enough accumulation turned quantitative change into qualitative change.
And just by imagining, you can know how sinister and deadly this silent freezing air will be. As long as you fight, it can be superimposed. When you find it, you will be engulfed in the cold and unable to return to the sky, just like those in the fields who were suddenly cooled in the middle of the night. The pests can only watch their own death.
And this is just the beginning. This freezing air, which simulates the severe cold in nature, will become the cornerstone to a higher stage, and finally, form the winter desperation that only belongs to me.
"Sure enough, only after the cold winter can we see the warm spring. Only by abandoning the broken body and starting anew can we go further. Perhaps, with the accumulation of four soul emblems and four periods of life, in this life, I will will eventually reach the top of the world.”
