Chapter 21: The Successor Who Received Counsel
"Hehe, boy Krezer, why do you look disappointed because your mentor isn't a famous magician?" said Old Man Stiller, looking at the somewhat depressed Krazier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No, no, Mr. Stiller, how is this possible, haha!" Krizer was a little caught off guard by the old man Stiller's words, and in order to hide this emotion, he smiled awkwardly, and then changed the subject. "Do you think my mentor is a magician who has studied magic thoroughly?"
"Krizer boy, even magicians have to be divided into many kinds, even if some ordinary people can't release any magic, their understanding of magic is not necessarily much worse than those famous magicians, you should have heard of the name John Horner!" Obviously, Krezer's little tricks can't be hidden from Old Man Stiller, but he doesn't want to expose it, so he patiently enlightens Kreeser.
"John Horner, who is known as the living magic book, of course knows, although he is not a magician, but he is the author of three very classic books, "On the Basic Ways of Unleashing Magic", "The True Meaning of Ice Magic", and the most classic "On the Basic Way of Maximizing the Destructive Power of Wind and Fire Mixed Magic", all three of which I have read in detail, and the theories recorded above have greatly inspired my understanding of magic. Hearing the name from Old Man Stiller's mouth, Kraser said with a sigh of affection.
Speaking of John, I have known him for a long time, and he owes a large part of the success of my theory. Old man Stiller shook his fingers with a reminiscing expression, and he looked at Krazer and couldn't help but smile. "I didn't expect that such an ordinary person who didn't know any magic could achieve such great things. ”
"I see what you mean, Mr. Stiller!" Seeing that the old man Stiller said this, how could Krazer not know what he meant, and he nodded respectfully to the old man.
"Boy Krezer, those magicians who are famous on the continent don't mean anything, the magician who can make the deepest understanding of magic, even if it is an obscure person, he is worthy of respect. Old man Stiller looked at Kraser and said slowly. "Overall, this mentor of yours has a very deep understanding of magic, and he has taught you very well, which will be of great help to you in the future. But I have similar but different opinions about lightning magic, would you like to hear it?"
"Of course, listening to a few different opinions will give me a deeper understanding of magic!" Krizer nodded vigorously.
"Thunder magic is the most violent of all the magic that humans can master, and the greatest meaning of its existence is destruction!"
"It is the power that destroys everything! Simple! Furious! Unstoppable! Everything in the world begins with ignorance, and the first thing that makes them fearful is it? Is it the reprimand of their parents? Or the appearance of natural enemies? No, the first thing that makes them feel frightened is the thunder! It is the loudest sound in heaven and earth!"
"Because of this, everything in the world has a natural fear of lightning, although as you grow older and your knowledge increases, this sound that penetrates into the depths of their souls will never be erased, it will be hidden in your heart and accompany you throughout your life!"
"It is precisely because of this fear from the soul that in all myths and legends, the god who controls the power of thunder is the most powerful and majestic existence, so thunder and lightning are also the symbol of the gods!" Looking at the inquisitive Knight, the old man Stiller coughed lightly, and after a pause, he shook his finger and continued with a serious expression. "It is precisely because of this that the lightning magician is called the spokesman of the gods! what a glorious title, but who knows the pain behind it!"
Hearing this, Krezer, who listened with relish, couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand why Old Man Stiller would say this, is there anything unspeakable about lightning magic? When he saw the face of Old Man Stiller, Kreser's eyes couldn't help but light up, and at this moment he thought that the old man sitting in front of him was the legendary wizard of the thunder system who was once famous in the mainland, and his attainments in lightning magic must be higher than others, and it can be said that no one knows the true meaning of lightning magic better than him.
It was with this in mind that Krazer raised his head, looked at the old man in front of him, couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked.
"Mr. Stiller, why do you say that? Is there anything else in lightning magic?"
"Hehe, Kreser boy, even if you don't ask, I'll tell you!" After reaching out and patting Krazer on the shoulder, Old Man Stiller stood up with the silver stick in his hand, and he looked up at the blue sky as if he were remembering something. After a long time, he rubbed the long stick in his hand and said slowly. "We lightning mages have two fatal flaws, Kreser boy, I think you must have felt something in your own magic backlash!"
"Do you mean multiple spells at the same time?" replied Kraezer, scratching his head.
"That's right, Krizer boy! The thunder element can be said to be very domineering, it will not coexist with any other magic element, wherever there is a large number of thunder elements, it will ruthlessly destroy other magic elements, so what do you think will be the consequences when a thunder mage chants a spell and then releases other kinds of magic, I don't need to say!" Looking at Kreizer, who suddenly realized, the old man Stiller pointed twice at his head, and smiled incomprehensibly.
"Do you mean that my magic is all because of lightning magic?" Hearing this, Krezer was so clever that he didn't know what Old Man Stiller meant, remembering that all the pain he had suffered in the past year had been caused by himself.
"That's right, Kid Krezer!Didn't your mentor teach you that the elementals are alive too?they don't let the thunder elemental destroy, just like human society, where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and that's the root of your magic backlash!" Old Man Stiller stared at Kreeser and slowly told the truth of the matter. "So, that's why most of the lightning mages are pure lightning mages, do you understand?"
"Isn't it possible to have the help of the Magic Rough Stone? Isn't it possible that I can only release thunder magic and not other magic in this life?" Picking up the magic rough stone in his hand, Krazer looked at Old Man Stiller with great unwillingness, he was eager to know the answer.
"I know your feelings, but I can tell you clearly, impossible! If you want to save your life and don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past again, my advice, when you comprehend the thunder magic to the peak, you still don't try to control the other magic elements, otherwise, the consequences will no longer be as simple as magic backlash!"
"I'll take your advice to heart, so what is the second fatal flaw you mentioned?" Krizer agreed, and then asked a second question curiously.
"The second flaw is the magic backlash! As we all know, once the lightning magic is backfired, it will definitely kill the caster on the spot! You should have heard of many people who can survive in other types of magic backlash, but you probably haven't heard of an example of someone who can survive the thunder magic backlash!" Looking at Kreeser, who had an extremely strong desire to learn, the old man Stiller also had a relieved expression, and he took the trouble to answer for Kreze.
"Indeed, before I met you, I always thought I was the only survivor who could survive the Thunder Spell Retaliation, and I searched all the books I could find, but I couldn't find any examples of anyone who could survive the Thunder Spell Retaliation. Kratzer replied truthfully.
"This is the sorrow of our thunder magicians, once we are eaten by magic, we pay the price of our lives, we have a power that does not belong to human beings, maybe this is God's punishment for people like us!" Looking up at the sky, Old Man Stiller's hand holding the silver stick was bruised, and his emotions were very excited. "This is the price we Thunder Mages pay, people only see our bright side, but they don't see the pain behind us. ”
After hearing Old Man Stiller's words, Kraser's emotions seemed to be infected, and he touched the Thanatos standing on his shoulder into the palm of his hand, touched its little head, and fell into an inexplicable emotion. For a while, this ravaged forest was only the rustle of the leaves from the wind, but this atmosphere did not last long, the old man Stiller cleaned up his mood, he looked at the pensive Kraser, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and spit out something that shocked Kraser.
"Kid Krezer, do you know which race is the most thorough and skilled in the study of lightning magic?"
"Isn't it our human race? Although I can occasionally hear that the Orc Alliance will have sacrifices that can master the power of thunder, but when it comes to the race that has the most mastery of lightning magic, it is undoubtedly the human race. Krezer looked down and thought about it for a moment, then spoke his mind.
"Hehe! I knew that you would say that, Krezer Kid! History has obliterated many truths, and of course it will not be this one, let me tell you! In the history of Montimos Continent, the race with the most thorough and thorough study of the lightning magic element is the goblin race, I can't think of it!" Old Man Stiller smiled and said a fact that Krazer could not have dreamed of.
"Goblins? It's them! It's incredible, Mr. Stiller!Aren't the goblins not born elemental affinities?How can they unleash lightning magic?" After listening to Old Man Stiller's words, Krazer obviously couldn't accept this fact, and after asking two questions in a row, he suddenly opened his mouth and stopped, muttering to himself as if he remembered something. "I once saw a similar account when I was looking through my mentor's collection, and at that time I thought it was just some of the tactics used by the bards to render the story, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Boy Krezer, don't you see that this mentor of yours has a very rich collection of books! Looking at Krezer, who kept opening and closing his mouth like a drowning fish, the old man Stiller seemed a little surprised, he looked at Krezer's expression with great interest, and looked at it for a while before he said slowly. "It is precisely because the goblin clan has this power that belongs to the gods, so they regard themselves as gods, and they arbitrarily enslave any race on the continent, even the extremely powerful dragon, it is precisely because the goblin clan arbitrarily enslaves all the races living in the Montimos continent that all the races will unite to overthrow their rule, and it can be said that a large part of the demise of the goblin clan is because of thunder magic. ”
"It's incredible, Mr. Stiller!" said Frazer in amazement after hearing Old Man Stiller's words.
"Okay, Kid Krazier, I said so many things about lightning magic, I just want to tell you one thing, don't be careless, don't compare lightning magic with other magic, you have to be careful and cautious in every step you take, be cautious and cautious, if you still think about your identity as a multi-line magic element affinity and refuse to give up, then you should give up releasing lightning magic!" Speaking of this, the old man Stiller's expression was unusually serious, he looked at the confused Kraser, and did not say anything more but waited quietly, waiting for him to make a choice. ”
"I see what you mean, Mr. Stiller! I won't be casting any other magic until I've mastered lightning magic, and I'm not going to repeat the same mistakes. After some deliberation, Kraser said firmly.
It was not easy for him to make such a decision, which meant that not only did he give up his previous efforts, but he also had to start all over again, like a magic apprentice, and everything had to start all over again, which is not a choice that everyone can make. However, he is also lucky, because he has the most suitable person in front of him, who can help him get out of trouble in a short period of time and return to the peak of life.
After seeing Kraser's choice, Old Man Stiller smiled with satisfaction, and he stretched out his calloused hand and patted Kraser's shoulder, a look of relief on his face. Finally found a suitable person for his inheritance, the old man Stiller couldn't help but think in his heart, and finally God realized his painstaking efforts, and sent a person like Kreeser who was suitable to learn his ideals to himself.
Looking at the resolute Krizer, the old man Stiller knew that he was not looking at the wrong person, just as he was full of vitality and hope when he was young, the young man in front of him was very suitable for himself in terms of ability and temperament, it is no exaggeration to say that Krizer is simply tailored for his theory, and it is precisely because of this that he proposed to send Krizer out of this forest, in fact, he wants to know more about this young man, he doesn't want the theory he has worked hard for decades to fall into the hands of a person of bad character, this is not something he wants to see。
Looking at Kreeser who had made up his mind, Old Man Stiller picked up a wild fruit on the ground casually, wiped it with his sleeve, looked at him with a smile, and said with interest.
"Kid Krezer, would you like to hear the story of my youth?"
