Merlin leaned back as if he had been struck.

The words of the phantom just now echoed in his ears - the legacy left by Odaron's predecessors was how to remove the profession of fatalistic mage, how to cut the connection with the small puddle, and how to regain the baptism of the sea of magic?!

"But, coco, but ......" The young man looked at each other, stammering and unable to speak for a long time.

"Huh?" a hint of confusion flashed across the phantom's face:

"Don't you think that sea of magic has not yet taken shape is a burden?"

The young man nodded subconsciously: "But ......"

"You may not know that the reason why you can't use magic cards is because of the small puddle, because you can't resonate with the sea of magic and can't activate the spell model in the card, so you have to work hard to learn classical spellcasting. ”

"I already know that......" he replied dumbfounded.

"Then you may not know, although the speed of absorbing mana through the magic puddle is much faster than that of people of your same rank, so that your current mana is very abundant, but in terms of the capacity of that puddle, it is only equivalent to a sixth-order magic rank at most, and that small puddle alone is not enough to support your cultivation to a high-level mage."

"I already know that......"

"Even at this level, your efficiency in meditating through small puddles is much lower, and if you give up the profession of Fatalistic Mage and re-accept the baptism of the Sea of Magic, your cultivation speed with your talent may be doubled. ”

"I also know that the current meditation is not very effective, and it is a waste of magic......"

"Then why are you so hesitant?"

"It just felt sudden," Maureen shook his head dumbfoundedly, "I still thought it was ......"

"You think what Odalong left behind is the advanced method of the fatalistic mage?"

The boy nodded.

But the phantom waved his hand and denied: "On the contrary, when Odaron was young, he was able to advance at such an astonishing speed one after another because he gave up the professional inheritance of the fatalistic mage. ”

"In addition, the reason why you inherited this profession is actually because he gave up at that time - the small magic puddle you connected to was the small magic puddle he connected to at the beginning, and he chose to give up, so that the unformed sea of magic will once again form a connection with others, that is, the successor of the fateful mage. ”

"That's you. The phantom looked at the boy.

"I see......

"So, Odaron's predecessor has given up on this profession, and he doesn't have that dull rectangle on his class badge, so it turns out that my little magic puddle was also inherited from him......" Merlin muttered to himself in a daze, as if he couldn't hear what the other party said.

Originally, I thought that there were other people in this world who had this class badge like him, and he also had a small puddle of magic power like him, but I didn't expect the truth to be like this. It turned out that whether it was a fateful mage or a small puddle, he was still the only one left, and the profession that the Elemental Emperor had long given up had been passed down to him in the dark.

There is still only oneself, and there is still only such a small puddle of cheating.

Suddenly I felt unspeakably lonely.

"But isn't there any other way? Since this profession exists, and it is recorded in the ancient occupational crystal plate system, and it has to pay a high occupational tax—a higher occupational tax than other occupations, it means that this is a strong career direction, why give up?" the young man was still puzzled.

The other party shook his head regretfully: "Because the advanced method has been lost." ”

He sighed, raised his hand and stroked the floating mist ribbons in the space, the colorful colors passed through his non-physical palm, and continued to float above the misty head:

"In fact, in this professional inheritance, there has been no way to advance since a long time ago, or the final link has been lost, you see, what I mean by 'long' is the length of time in epochs, since that distant time there has been no way forward for the fatalistic mage, the ancestors slowly learned how to strip away this profession, and left the legacy to tell future successors how to separate the small puddles. ”

"As long as you re-enter the sea of magic, with the talent of the inheritors, you can almost achieve good results. At the beginning, Odalong also inherited the magic puddle from his predecessor, and he also stripped it according to his predecessor's method, and relied on talent and hard work to become the later Elemental Emperor. ”

Seeing the young man's still undead gaze, the other party said again:

"You know, even though the method of advancement has been lost and the ancestors have chosen to give up, they will still find ways to complete it for their successors, but after so many years, that small puddle of magic power has been passed down for many generations, and even when Odaron becomes the Elemental Emperor, there is still no way to connect with the advanced path of the fatalistic mage. ”

"So you should make the same choice as him, maybe wait until the day you achieve something, and with extraordinary luck, maybe you can find a little more possibility for a successor, but for now, divestment is the best option for you. ”

"Otherwise, with the restrictions of the small puddle, even if you can forcibly advance to become a high-level mage, it will be difficult to go further. ”

"Whew......" Morin breathed deeply.

Since the phantoms left by the Elemental Emperor had said so, there was no room for turnaround, so he could only nod.

"Is it decided?" the other asked.

"If you decide, I can activate the magical barrier left by Odaron, in which you can strip off the connection to the small puddle, and then meditate to touch the sea of magic, so that you will not be repelled by the sea of magic. ”

"With the magic he left behind, I can activate such a magic barrier three times, but you only have one chance, in case you can't afford to leave such magic for the next inheritor in the future, I want to keep some magic here. ”

Morin was silent for a long time, and was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something, and sighed in his heart.

"Wait!" he cried out.

"Let me think again!"

The teenager realized an important problem.

- What should he do with his card-making skills?

If he strips off the connection to the small puddle and touches the sea of magic, won't it mean that he can't learn card crafting anymore?!, Mr. Ed, who has not recovered from his injuries, spends so much time teaching himself that he just gives up without a word......

The boy knew what his talent was in the field of card making - he didn't have the talent and instincts of Mr. Ed when he was younger, at least not yet.

He is now able to make basic magic cards, completely by virtue of his particularity, when making the final resonance structure of the magic card, it will not cause the magic of the sea of magic to backsurge and damage the structure of the card, coupled with good mental strength and hard practice, this has a good success rate, barely meeting the requirements of Teacher Ed.

Master Ed took him as a student and wanted to train him to become a great card maker, also because he discovered that he could not touch the sea of magic, and hoped that he would be able to make the most perfect magic card in the legend by avoiding the backsurge damage.

Magic cards with a mana conversion rate close to 100 percent......

I promised to learn how to make cards, what was Ed's expectation......

Looking at the hallucinatory colors, the hazy elemental boundaries, Merlin hesitated.

"What's wrong?" asked the Phantom.

"Can I think about it again...... I mean, get out of here and let me go back to the academy and think about it," said the teenager, who wasn't even ready to tell Professor Ed about the puddle, "I need to ask the teachers for their opinions......"

I felt that it seemed disrespectful to express it like this, after all, the person in front of me was the legendary Elemental Emperor.

He hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't believe in your suggestion, but because of the particularity of the fateful mage, a teacher accepts me as a student, and if I want to strip it, I want to explain it to that teacher before making a decision." ”

"Because of the peculiarities of the fateful mage......?"

"Well, it's a card maker, and because you can't touch the Sea of Mana, the quality of the magic cards you make is relatively better. Morin explained, and it seemed that no one had discovered this in the previous lineage.

"I see, but even if a cardmaker can use various tools to create magic cards beyond his own ability, but if the level is too bad, it won't work, if you can't advance to the rank of a great magician, even if you become a cardmaker, you can only make ordinary magic cards of the middle and low rank, and it is almost impossible to become a card maker. ”

"I understand this," Morin said seriously, "but I promised the teacher that I would learn how to make cards and work hard in this direction, so even if I want to peel off, I should explain it to him first......"

A glimmer of appreciation flashed in the phantom's deep eyes.

But he still shook his head: "One thing you need to know is that there is no limit to using that piece of elemental heart to open the passage between Todder and this elemental boundary, and every time you open the passage, you need to consume the energy of the elemental heart......"

Mo Lin had a bad premonition in his heart, and he only heard the other party continue:

“…… If you don't make a choice this time, although there is still a chance to choose in the future, the passage will be closed after you leave, and it will take at least ten years to open it again, which means that once you leave, you will be dragged down by the legacy of the Fatalistic Mage for at least ten years, I hope you will consider it carefully. ”

"Ten years......" Morin was stunned again.

What was he doing ten years ago? He recalled the records in the image stone that his father showed him, ten years ago he was so young, eating all day long in the yard digging pits and catching insects, and he had not even awakened his special memory ability, and he could only remember individual fragments, ten years ......

What will I be doing in 10 years......

Stuck at the threshold of being promoted to a high-level mage, unable to break through? Stuck in Iluvita and unable to advance to the seventh grade? On the one hand, he earns gold by making third-order cards, and on the other hand, he knows that he will give up making cards soon? he loses his temper at the same magic puddle? regrets that he didn't choose another path? regrets that he didn't decisively give up the legacy of the fatalistic mage......

Perhaps.

But will you regret that you delayed ten years to tell Teacher Ed first......

"No......" he said softly.

"A promise is a promise, and even if you can't do what you promised, you have to ask for the consent of the other party before you give it up, which even Daddy Pike knows...... From classical spell casting to card making, Mr. Ed's lectures are not very patient, but he really takes care of himself......"

A smile hung on the boy's cheek:

"Senior, I have already decided, even if I want to peel off the small puddle, I must first go and talk to my teacher and ask for his consent and understanding. As for entering the realm, although it is very likely that he will stop at the threshold of a high-level professional for a few years, he will redouble his efforts in the future! Moreover, if he can cultivate to the sixth-order Dharma rank within ten years, he is already more powerful than most people!"

He said optimistically, as if it weren't a big deal.

"Well......" The phantom lost his mind.

"At such a young age, it's rare to see a ...... who can resist the temptation of power."

"Then so be it," he smiled slightly, and conjured a solid book in his hand: "The Elemental Heart has been fused with the wand, you take care of it, and when it re-accumulates enough energy, you can open the spatial vortex through the methods described in the book, and I will sleep again after you leave to preserve the magic until you reopen the spatial vortex." ”

"Looking forward to seeing you again one day. ”

Merlin bowed and took the heavy green magic book with both hands.

"Oh, yes. Then the apparition said:

"Since you have to wait another ten years to peel off the small puddle anyway, you can pay attention to the advanced method of the fatalistic mage during this period, which is also recorded in this book, not to ask you to make up for it, you are far from having this ability, but if you have the opportunity, you might as well consult a teacher who can trust you, maybe there will be some gains." ”

He sighed lightly: "It also has something to do with cards, the fatalistic mage was born with the newborn sea of magic, but if you want to advance to the profession, you need to use the black crystal card as a passage to enter and exit the magic space, and the card you inherited is also made by the predecessors, corresponding to the location of the small puddle in the void." ”

The boy nodded as if he didn't understand.

"But just having a small puddle of magic can only become an ordinary professional, and the path of a fatalistic mage is much more difficult, and in the records, in addition to the sea of magic that was born with it, an elemental boundary of similar volume is also needed......"

Isn't that what that is?" Morin looked at him quizzically.

"Yes, this is an elemental boundary, after Odaron became the Elemental Emperor, it took countless efforts to find this nascent elemental frontier, which can be regarded as a big step for the later inheritors, but it also needs to be like the sea of magic, there is a black crystal card as a passage and door, and not just the power of that elemental heart. ”

The boy reached out for the black crystal card on his chest.

"Eh, have you already got the second crystal card," the phantom showed a surprised look, took it and looked at it twice, and gave it back to the young man: "It is indeed a precious black crystal card, it has not been carved in any way, and it still needs a lot of melting and engraving work to use it as a door to connect the elemental boundary, that is, the content of card making, the specific structure is in the book, and the difficulty is said to be comparable to that of the top-level magic card, which even I don't know much about." ”

Merlin nodded: "And then ......?"

The top-level magic cards are at least seven rings or above, which is already a treasure in the world, but he still feels that it will not be so simple.

Sure enough, the phantom sighed again: "There is a third existence, the seed of life. ”
