Chapter 46: The sound of a guitar in the evening breeze in the jungle
Zero's mouth opened wide as he looked at the heavy Encyclopedia of Magic Spells in his hand, which Josevi had just taken down from the bookshelf and handed to Zero.
"You're telling me to memorize the whole book?" Zero asked, looking at Josevi in front of him in disbelief.
"That's right. José nodded in reply, with her arms folded around her chest.
"You're telling me to memorize the whole book?" Zero asked.
"That's right. Joseville replied.
"You asked me to put this book ...... Memorize it all?!" Zero asked again.
Josevi frowned slightly, pinched her hands around her waist and said to Zero, "No matter how many times you ask, you have to carry it for me." ”
"It's so thick!" Zero shook the 5 centimeter-thick and half-pound "Encyclopedia of Magic Spells" in his hand, and complained to Josevi with a bitter face.
"I seriously suspect that you are trying to get revenge on me for peeking at you in the shower!" Zero said to Josevi.
When Josevi heard this, a red glow flew on her face, and she stretched out her hand and slammed it on Zero's head and gritted her teeth, "If you dare to mention this matter again, I will knock your head to pieces......"
Zero covered the top of his head with one hand, and with the other hand, he held the heavy book of "Encyclopedia of Magic and Spells" in his arms, and muttered in a low voice: "But this is too thick......
Josevi stroked her chest, calmed down for a moment, bowed her head and said to Zero, "As a Nian Magician, you must be proficient in all types of Magical Structure Formations and Speech Spells, unless you want to be the most useless Nian Magician in the public mouth. ”
"Uh......" Zero-1 paused, "I can still understand why you ask me to memorize the structure formation, why do you have to memorize the spirit spells? Nian magicians don't resonate with any magic elements, aren't spells made up to facilitate the casting of elemental magic? Why do mind magicians also have to memorize?"
"Because the spirit of words is compiled according to the magic formation, and each formation has a corresponding spirit of words, as a beginner in the magic system, if you want to understand the principles of magic casting in depth, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the various elements of magic casting, including elemental resonance, formation structure, and spirit spells......" Josevi patiently explained.
"You mean, if a nin-based mage wants to become stronger, he must be proficient not only in the way of casting nin-based magic, but also in other stellarities?" Zero asked Josevie, looking up.
"That's right. Josevi nodded.
Zero raised his eyebrows high and opened his mouth slightly, took a deep breath, and felt a lot of pressure.
José looked at Zero and continued, "I asked you to recite the spell so that you can better understand the structure of the magic array. Let me explain to you this, when an elemental magician casts magic, he will first use his telekinesis to urge the body to absorb and preserve the magic elements, that is, magic power, communicate with the same magic elements in nature, and then quickly build a magic array in the way of words and spirits, and finally achieve the effect of casting magic. Words are actually spells made up to cast magic more easily and quickly, because it is much easier and faster to recite spells to build a magic circle than to build a magic circle directly with telekinesis. The higher the level of magic, the more complex the structure of the magic array that needs to be built, and the greater the concentration and consumption of mental power, and the chanting spell can easily build the complex magic array required by high-level magic. ”
Zero looked at Josevi and said suspiciously: "I know what you said, but isn't that the principle of casting elemental magic......?
"That's what I'm going to tell you next. José looked into Zero's eyes and said seriously, "All the magic in the world is the same. As I said, words are spells made up to facilitate the casting of magic, and magicians can rearrange and combine the magical elements in nature by chanting spells, so what if you cross this process?"
"Crossing this process?" said Zero, puzzled.
The next second, Zero suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and stared at Josevi and said, "What do you mean...... Abandon the way of chanting incantations and directly build a magic array with telekinesis?"
"That's right!" the corners of Josevie's mouth curled into a charming arc, "Don't envy elemental magicians who can resonate with the elements, even if they can resonate with one or even multiple elements, in the end, they can only use only a few types of elemental magic." And as a nage magician, the heavens have given us a physique that is different from ordinary people, and it has also given us the opportunity to manipulate all the elements. ”
"What?!" Zero was taken aback.
"Don't be surprised, little one, I'm telling the truth. At the beginning of the birth of magic, human beings used magic through this primitive means, and it was only later that with the development of magic, people had a sufficient understanding of magic, and gradually developed the way to cast magic by chanting and chanting. Once you really understand magic, you'll understand what I'm saying to you today. Since we can't easily build a magic circle by chanting incantations, then we put aside the spells and use the most primitive means to forcibly build a magic array with telekinesis. This allows us to wield more types of magic than elemental mages. Josevi said confidently to Zero.
"But...... But......" Zero asked José Sevi with doubt, "only magicians who resonate with the elements can cast magic by chanting spells to build magic arrays, is that ...... According to you, all telekinesis magicians can use elemental magic, and if that's the case, I won't have to run away from home, and I'll be able to stay in Lan'er to study magic. Because according to what you said, ninthily powerful magicians. ”
"That's a worldly idea, Zero ......," said José Stooping down to look at Zero, putting her hand on his shoulder, "the world imposes itself on itself with the idea of the masses, and then imposes it on others." As everyone knows, people ignore the original essence of things and insist that habits are the truth. ”
"Then why are ninthiary mages still so looked down upon?Why are ninthiac mages synonymous with weakness? Why are there no ninable mages who can master all the elemental magic? Why?"
"Because very few people can do it. Simply using telekinesis to build a magic array and cast magic that does not resonate with oneself, the consumption of telekinesis is too huge, even if it is a telekinesis magician, few people can afford such a huge consumption. Moreover, the more advanced the magic, the more complex the structure of the magic array, and few people can build a magic array without chanting spells in battle, and simply concentrating their mental power to build a magic array. Over time, people abandoned this primitive way of casting magic, and the nurturing magician became synonymous with the weak. But there are no absolutes in everything, and there are still very few people who can do it, and there is a ...... standing in front of you."
Josevi's soft words reached Zero's ears, and Zero's vision suddenly blurred when he looked at Josevi, and he asked Josevi with red eyes, "Can I do it too?"
"It depends on whether you are willing to become a weak person in the eyes of the world. Josevi stared at Zero and said.
Zero rubbed his eyes, he looked at Josevi seriously, and said to her in a firm and decisive tone: "I am not reconciled!"
"Then you have to endure great suffering, you have to endure more suffering than others, you have to walk more roads than others, you have to see through the truth of the world, and you have to control more elements. Don't let the words of the world affect your heart, you have to be steadfast and down-to-earth and keep moving forward...... We are nurturing magicians, but we are not born weak, as long as we can overcome all the difficulties step by step, one day, we will be able to achieve ourselves. ”
"Well, Sister Qiao, I believe in you, the Nian Magician is not born weak, and one day, I will become as strong as you. Zero looked at Josevie's beautiful face and said seriously.
Josevi chuckled, pinched Zero's cheek and said, "It is often said that blue is better than blue, and you should be stronger than me in the future." ”
"Hah...... You're the eldest sister, maybe when I'm shouted and killed outside, I'll have to rely on you to come out and say something. Zero bared her white teeth and smiled at Joséve.
"If you become strong enough, no one can bully you. Josevi scratched Zero's nose and said, "If I'm in danger one day, I'll have to ask you to come to the rescue." ”
"Sister Qiao, you are so powerful, can you still encounter danger?" Zero made an expression of disbelief, "Besides, you are so good-looking, who wants to bully you? It's too late to protect you." ”
José Sherway's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she stretched out her finger to Zero's lips and said to him: "You mouth, I don't know how many girls you will harm in the future, so you can live in the deep mountains and old forests in the future, and you won't have to play hooligan on other girls." ”
"So what do you mean...... I'm just playing hooligan on you?What about my beating yesterday? You're actually quite willing me to play hooligan on you?" asked José with a smile.
"Go...... Less poor mouth. Josevi patted Zero's head and scolded, "Endorse well, I'll go out and buy some things, you memorize twenty magic spells, including the magic array structure diagram, start with the simplest one, I'll check when I come back, and if you can't memorize it, you will be punished." ”
After José Sewei finished speaking, she stood up and was about to walk out of the wooden house, and asked José Sewei zero: "You want to go out to buy something?"
"yes, what's wrong?" José turned to look at Zero.
"Can you bring something for me?" asked Zero.
"What's that?"
"Strings. ”
Josévi sat on a bench in the open space in the doorway, watching Zero fiddle with the pile of wood in his hand.
It was getting late, the sun was setting and the temperature was getting cooler. A bonfire was lit in the middle of the clearing, and the two sat next to it, quietly enjoying the peace and quiet of the jungle night.
Zero took the tools and carefully trimmed the planks and sticks at hand, and José Sherway dragged her chin with one hand and quietly looked at Zero who was busy working alone.
"Wait a minute, the ...... will be installed soon," Zero said, glancing up at José Moon, who was sitting quietly by the campfire.
"What the hell are you assembling?" asked Josevie.
The warm firelight reflected on her beautiful face, Josevi put a long dark blue hair on the top of her head and pulled a simple mustache, the silky hair was scattered behind her back, she put one leg on the other leg leisurely, a snow-white calf exposed under the long skirt swayed slightly in mid-air, she put one hand on her leg to support her chin, the whole person looked lazy and soft.
Zero looked at Josevi and chuckled the corners of his mouth, he picked up the strings that Josevi brought back to him today, shook it at Josevi and said, "You'll find out later." ”
José watched as Zero put one end of the string into a small hole in the assembled wood, then inserted a small wooden cone into the hole to secure one end of the string, straightened the string, and tied the other end to the pedg at the top of the long strip of wood.
"Are you making a musical instrument?" José seemed to understand something.
"yes, it's almost ready, it took me a long time," Zero said to Josevi as she fiddled with the strings in her hand, "mainly because the materials are too hard to find, and I also used the magic tools you made me throw away, some of which can't be made of wood alone." ”
"You can let me buy a finished product for you. Josevi said to Zero.
Zero shook his head and said, "I don't necessarily have this instrument. ”
"What strange instruments can't be bought?" said José Will, pursing her lips.
"You'll find out later. Zero raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know if the timbre will work......"
After a while, it was completely dark, and José was fiddling with the campfire with a stick, plucking the strings and adjusting the tone. After a while, he sighed and said, "Finally, it's almost adjusted." ”
Josevi put down the wooden stick in her hand, looked at the instrument that took so long to assemble, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"
"Guitar. Zero said with a smile.
Before coming into this world, Zero was a guitar enthusiast. He taught himself guitar since he was a child, and even obtained a sixth-level certificate in guitar playing, because of his love for music, he often practiced playing the guitar, but later after graduating from college and entering the society, he played less and less, but the guitar playing skills he practiced since childhood have always been deeply remembered in his mind.
After coming to this world, Zero once visited the largest musical instrument shop in Lan'er, and among all kinds of strange instruments, he did not find a guitar-like instrument, so he always had the idea of making his own guitar, and this idea has not been realized until today.
Josevi glanced at the simple acoustic guitar that Zero was holding in her arms, and said to him with a puzzled look: "I have never seen this kind of instrument, and for children from noble backgrounds like you, shouldn't most of the elders ask you to learn harpsichord, flute, or the like?"
"Uh......" Zero-One didn't know how to answer, so he simply said nonsense, "I'm ...... With Lan'er...... The uncle in the amusement park learned, this is a kind of ...... Musical instruments of a minority ethnic group are not common on the mainland......"
"Oh......" José Vicky nodded incredulously.
"Without further ado, I'll play a song for you. ”
Zero sat up straight as he spoke, set his guitar on his lap, and plucked the strings a few times to test the sound. José listened to the smooth music that Zero plucked out at random, and pricked up her ears with interest.
"What's the best song to sing?" Zero rolled his eyes and thought, "Let's have a song......
"Ahem......" Zero cleared his throat.
José chuckled at Zero's serious appearance, and Zero raised an eyebrow and said to her, "Don't laugh, don't be impressed by my singing later." ”
With a smile on her face, José pursed her lips and did not speak, silently watching as Zero put her fingertips on the strings and plucked them gently.
The breeze blows through the forest and the sea comes to the sound of "rustling", the lake water flows under the stone mountain, the insects chirp one after another around it, and the melodious piano sound floats to the late summer night sky with the breeze passing through the ears, everything is so comfortable and beautiful. José held her chin in one hand, listening to the melodious sound of the piano swaying gently to the beat, and the boy's crisp and comfortable singing voice came into her ears.
"Throw away that portrait
That's not you
You've been grieving for it for too long, too long
Take your original self to the sun
There's a new world waiting for you
If you're scared
Just go for some smiles
If you feel free
Just go find some singing
I want to give you the purest love
I want to have your sweetness
I hate the distance between myself and you
I hate that my eyes need to rest
I want to keep looking at the sky
I want to watch you all the time
I want to hold you all the time
I want to grow old with you
emmmm......
He didn't think he would have that good feeling again
He's been waiting for too long, too long
He's walked a lot and missed too much
There has always been a voice in his heart that is speaking to him
If you need to go crazy
Just go after the ideal
If you feel young
Just go and find true love
emmmm......" [Lyrics from: Jasmine Monk - "Ideal and Love"]
