Chapter 27 [Little-Known History]

"Harvey, you have just become an eighth-level great mage now, in your feelings, what's the difference between level 8 and level 7?"

"Spiritual power and magic power, after becoming an eighth-level great magician, both of these aspects have been greatly improved. ”

"Well, what else?"

"When you cast a spell, you no longer need to chant a spell, you can just say the name of the spell and you can release it. ”

"These are the most intuitive feelings, but what about the other aspects?"

"Uh....... Harvey didn't understand what Poseidon was referring to in other ways.

"Two questions, first, why is there a disconnect between spiritual power and magic power, and second, why is there no need to chant spells when releasing imitation now?"

After Harvey became an eighth-level great magician, he had been eager to find the seed of the flower on the other side, so he had never considered these issues. Now that Pose suddenly brought it up, he realized that he didn't understand what it meant to be an eighth-level great magician.

"When a cup is filled with water, it can easily overflow after a few drops of water are poured into the cup. After a large basin is filled with water, it will have no effect if you pour a few drops of water into it. And a lake full of water, you just pour a few basins of water into the house, and it won't overflow. ”

"I understand the teacher, it's the container. Our bodies, as containers of mental and magical power, are expanding by leaps and bounds. ”

"That's right, Harvey. Whether it is the improvement of mental power or the growth of magic power, the key to them is not the speed, but the degree to which the body can accept it. A magician who begins as an apprentice in magic will use meditation to exercise his mental power and gain magic power at the same time. Then level by level to become a more advanced magician. In the entire history of magic, there have been all kinds of geniuses, extraordinary comprehension, can learn new magic extremely quickly, super mental power can control every magic released to the extreme, super attack power can make every magic can exert its maximum destructive effect, but the only one that has not appeared is the magician who can skip levels. No matter how strong the talent is, no matter how much magic you can gain through meditation, you just keep pouring water into a cup, and most of the magic power will be lost. Therefore, it is impossible for a magician to make himself a stronger magician through hard work, through constant meditation. ”

"So there's no way to improve yourself quickly?"

"Yes, but it depends on whether the other person has extraordinary talent?"

"Extraordinary talent?"

"That's right, talent is destined to be a magician's ceiling. Now in the entire continent, plus me, there are a total of five archmages, and except for me, the other four archmages are all single-line mages. Therefore, many people believe that it is easier to increase their level by focusing on the practice of one series of magic. And dual-system magic talent is not uncommon on the mainland, there will be a magician with dual-system talent for every hundred magicians, and these magicians not only do not appear Great Magisters, but even one person has reached the Magister. ”

"Why is this happening?" Harvey himself, as a multi-line magician, although not as perverted as Binge, his own ascension speed can be regarded as the best among his peers.

"Because, studying both departments at the same time may improve very quickly at the beginning. However, once you reach level eight, the road to level nine will be much slower than that of a single-line mage, which is also a problem you will encounter. ”

"Could it be that two huge containers appeared at the same time?" Harvey suddenly thought of this, but he was not sure if his idea was correct, if this was really the case, as a fifth-level magician, it would take a long time for him to become a ninth-level magician.

Poseidon looked at Harvey's expression and knew that Harvey had understood what he was trying to say. So he continued: "You should know by now why the Magicians' Guild attaches so much importance to eighth-level magicians, in their opinion, becoming an eighth-level great magician is the beginning of a magician's magical career. It is precisely because of this that the magic before the eighth level will be recorded in the textbooks of the magic academy, and the magic of each level after the eighth level needs to pass the assessment of the wizards' union before it can be obtained. ”

"Teacher, I already have a basic understanding of the special features of the Eighth Rank Great Magician. But I still don't understand why the eighth-level great magician doesn't need to chant a spell when he releases magic. Harvey continued.

"You see it and you'll understand. Poseidon gave Harvey a worn-out copy of the Magic Book.

Harvey took it and carefully flipped to the first page, which contained the four basic spells that Daniel had taught his magic apprentice at Peters Academy.

However, the book only imagines and names about these four basic magics, and there is no introduction to spells. Harvey continued to flip backwards, and the level of imitation was getting higher and higher, but each spell was not marked with a spell.

"What's going on? isn't it?" said Harvey.

"That's right, all magic doesn't need a spell when it's created. Because the father of the magician, Andolph Petr., who turned the magic of nature into magic, had a severe stutter. ”

"Stuttering?" The legendary master Andolph Peter Lynch, the father of magicians who created magic, has a severe stutter?" Harvey couldn't believe what he had heard.

"How can a person with a severe stutter, who struggles to speak, want to create a spell to embarrass himself?"

"And how do these magical spells come about?"

"As a magician, you should know about the Druids, right?"

Poseidon could not have imagined that Harvey, who was in front of him, not only knew the druid, but also possessed the talent of the druid.

"Yes, the Druids are one of the more special races of our human race, and they are naturally close to animals and monsters. He also has the talent to command animals and monsters to his own use. ”

"Then did you know that the first popes of the Church of Light were the druids?"

"Huh?" Harvey heard something terrible again.

"After Master Andorf Peter Lynch created magic, the people saw that an ordinary person could wield the power of a god. This made the people who originally had great reverence for the God of Light slowly loosen their firm faith in their hearts. ”

Harvey suddenly remembered what Delis had said, "When faced with the unknown, human beings tend to have fear and curiosity at the same time, and curiosity must overcome fear." ”

Poseidon continued: "As a pope, he naturally couldn't let things go on like this, so he began to try to study magic, but after studying it for a long time, he still couldn't learn any magic, not even the lowest fireball technique. Later, he prayed to the god of light, hoping that the god of light would give him the ability to learn magic. Unexpectedly, the God of Light actually gave it a hint, telling him that when he reverently recited the prayer, he could cast magic, so that the first person on the continent to perform magic through prayer appeared. The story slowly spread, and over time, prayer became a spell, and as the people who learned it differed in race and language, there were multiple versions of a spell. Later, the Wizards' Guild was established, and after years of experimentation and summarization, the Wizards' Guild finally found a set of spells that were easiest to chant and had the highest success rate, and promoted them to all corners of the continent for free. ”

"Then why doesn't the eighth-level magic have a spell?"

"It's not that no, originally the eighth-level magic also had spells, but the eighth-level great magicians soon discovered that when they used magic, they could release magic even without chanting spells. Those spells of magic above level 8 were more frivolous, so they were removed from the "Magic Book". ”

"I see, but how do you know about these things, teacher?"

"The Dark Forest is much bigger than you've ever seen, but there is a mysterious area here that is guarded by Holy Order Demonic Beasts, and I discovered these secrets after a few years of wandering. ”

"Garrisoned by Saint-Order Demon Beasts? What kind of place is that? The teacher is worthy of being the number one demon master in the continent. Harvey duly complimented that although Poseidon hadn't taught him any eighth-level magic until now, not everyone knew about these shocking histories.
