Chapter 316: Talent is a double-edged sword
"Nehru's temperament was really bad. Richard had long been deeply moved by this.
"It's not good, it's terrible!" "Master Dupont was choked with anger at the sight, "I was a little curious when I saw such a genius. Quietly landed, disguised as an ordinary peasant with light and shadow illusions, and asked him how to get to Coron City. β
"And then?"
"He actually said that he had to pay at least one silver coin to tell me, otherwise he should get out of the way and not get in the way of him basking in the sun!"
Richard had to pinch his thighs to hold back his laughter, which did sound like Nehru could have done.
"Then I asked him to speak politely. Master Du Pong took a deep breath, and the button of the mage robe on his chest was suddenly tightened to the extreme, "Amazing, that's really powerful." He actually made me wait to look good, and said that he would call the lord of Alpine Fort to beat me!"
The lord couldn't control it anymore, and burst into laughter like a cannonball.
"Such a good mental talent. The fat old man shook his head with regret and emotion, "If he can't change this bad temper, I can conclude that he will never want to achieve anything decent on the elemental path in his life." β
"It turns out that it's not like a good talent can do everything. Richard touched his chin thoughtfully.
In this way, not only Nehru, but also Elizabeth is also a typical example of blind talent. After all, as a life bathed in a storm of minds, even if her IQ is not low, there must be a chaotic and tyrannical side in her personality, and she is not suitable as an elemental user than Nehru.
This discovery made the lord's heart relax a little, after all, if he couldn't learn advanced magic, Elizabeth would not want to escape from his Five Finger Mountain in her life with martial arts and soul suppression alone.
"Richard. Master Dupont's face became serious, and he said in a tone that was so earnest that he could not have been more earnest: "As intelligent beings, our most precious treasure will always be what we think and what we think, and nothing else. Innate spiritualism is a very superficial and harmful thing, and you young people must be especially wary of it!"
"Master, let's talk about it. Richard got serious, too.
He could fully understand these words, it was Du Peng's love for the junior as a senior, and it was also an important experience for the supreme mageβalthough it might be of limited use to him.
"It's too good a talent, and sometimes it's even a double-edged sword. Du Pong hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about a question - why is it that there is a huge gap in the individual strength of our human beings, from the magister to the ordinary civilian, while the different dragons are very even, and basically can only obtain the power of bloodline inheritance according to the rules?"
"Because dragons are stupid eggs. The lord replied without hesitation.
This was indeed what he really thought, and he was no stranger to the dragon Richard. Because it is not a stranger, there is no mysterious aura.
Adult dragons generally possess slightly stronger spell-casting abilities than high-level mages, but far inferior to mages.
As the life cycle reaches its peak in the prime of life, it will quickly fall back due to aging, which is very different from the fact that human magicians tend to get older and more powerful.
This shows that the dragon basically eats by talent, and fails to grow from acquired learning. In Richard's view, this is the typical fool.
"Nonsense, dragons possess no less intelligence than humans or elves!" the fat old man almost choked on the simple and crude answer, "I will tell you clearly, when you reach a certain height, all the truths you once knew will become a barrier to further progress." β
"If you don't have the patience to leave everything behind and start from scratch, then this life basically stops here, and you don't have to do any more daydreaming!"
"Insight is an obstacle?" Richard's brow furrowed.
"yes, I knew you would understand. Master Dupon nodded repeatedly, "The starting point of human beings is very low, and it takes a lot of effort to learn the simplest mage's hand. But because of this, there has never been a lack of self-doubt and self-denial along the way, and this can also be taken as a normal person. β
"But the dragon can't, these heavenly darlings have too high a starting point, and it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for them to take everything they already have as a matter of fact, to subvert and create. β
"The poor will fight hard at every turn, and the rich like stability. Richard added in due course.
"Success is also talent, defeat is also talent, and few dragons can break free from this invisible bondage. Dupont had a dismissive look on his face.
The dragon, which is incomparably powerful and mysterious for ordinary people, does not have any proud power in front of the Magus.
"Fate has given them a rich gift, but they don't know that everything has been secretly priced. β
"I found that you really have a bit of a literary talent. Master Du Pong was impressed by Richard, "The nobles of the royal capital all say that the lords of Alpine Fort only know how to fight and kill, and it seems that they have lost their eyes. β
"The lion doesn't mind the slander of the sheep, and I look at it as much as they like. Richard smiled slightly, and the clouds were light.
"Ambitious. The fat old man's tone couldn't tell whether it was true admiration or Jeru.
"We talked for a long time. Du Pong patted his round belly, "Hurry up and prepare a hot meal for me, I'm dying of hunger." β
"No problem, let you try the specialties of our Alpine Castle, you can't eat them anywhere else. The lord beckoned a maid and casually commanded a few words.
"Master. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "You said that the Ancient Titans, as magical creatures stronger than dragons, would it be difficult for them to get rid of their talents?"
"That's for sure. Du Pong nodded vigorously, "And it is even more obvious, their strength is almost completely determined by blood, and they will not grow a little bit until they die, I have to say that it is very sad." β
"Titans are at the level of a magus when they become adults, how can they grow. "Richard thought that this old thing could really blow water.
From the point of view of the division of ranks, the Magister is already the ultimate, and there is nothing further up.
He took it for granted that since he had become a magister, his magic path had come to an end.
"The gap between a magister and a magister is bigger than the gap between a magister and a magic apprentice!" Dupon scoffed at his short-sightedness, "At this stage, it's not such a superficial thing as mana reserves. It's the depth of understanding, it's the ability to create!"
"But the Titans are also very good at hand-to-hand combat. The lord winked narrowly at Dupont.
Even if most human mages cultivate to become gods, hand-to-hand combat will always be a pain point that they can't hide.
"That'...... I have to admit it, after all, it is the ancient overlord, and it is normal to have two brushes. β
