Carlos said, "As is customary for our Arcane Brotherhood, any new member will receive a free item that matches his strength. This item can be a weapon, a tome that records some kind of magical secret, or the equivalent of a gold coin. Dylan, pick one for yourself. ”

Dylan began to think: this time the choice must be cautious, must choose the most useful for his current improvement. As a forge, weapons and equipment don't seem to be very attractive to me, because I can quickly build them myself, and my current need for gold coins doesn't seem to be much. Therefore, a Level 3 Shadow Secret Technique seems to be the best choice.

"I'll choose a Level 3 Shadow Technique. After much thought, Dylan finally made a decision.

"Okay. Carlos immediately took out three different third-level secret techniques. They are called "plague", "annihilation", and "disappearance".

Carlos explained: "The plague is a secret technique that focuses on group lethality, which can infect all creatures within a radius of ten meters with the plague in a short period of time, making their combat effectiveness quickly fade, weakening their bodies and even causing death; ”

Speaking of which, Carlos remembered that Dylan had always been self-explanatory, and had not systematically studied the true shadow magic. He immediately explained: "You already understand the spiritual power, any magician can only store a limited amount of magic power in his body, once it is used up, the magicians need to recover the magic through meditation, the stronger the spiritual power, the faster the magic power will be restored." ”

"You are currently a third-level magician, so you can only store the corresponding magic power in your body, which is only enough for you to cast third-level magic, and it is far from enough for you to cast fourth-level magic. That's why you couldn't successfully cast the Level 4 Gathering Spell just now. Of course, as the level of the mage increases, the amount of magic that can be contained in our bodies will also increase accordingly. ”

Dylan thought for a moment: "For example, if I can only hold one bucket of shadow magic in my body at the moment, then I can cast all the magic that needs to consume less than one bucket, and I can't successfully cast more than one bucket of magic." Is that what it means?"

Carlos was very pleased: "You are very smart, this knowledge only needs to be said once, and you will be able to understand it quickly." ”

Carlos continued to add, "Every time the mage's level increases, it is a huge leap in terms of the amount of mana in the body. For example, if a first-level mage can only hold the magic power of one magic stone in his body, then a second-level mage can hold ten, a third-level mage can hold a hundred, and so on. Every level up, that's a huge change, you see?"

Dylan nodded, no wonder he always felt that he had entered a bottleneck a few days ago, it turned out that it was because he tried to cast magic higher than his own level, which naturally could not succeed.

After listening to Carlos's explanation, many of the problems in Dylan's mind were solved. It's so important to have a teacher who teaches you how to learn magic.

Seeing that Dylan had already understood, Carlos took the third secret technique "Disappearing" and said: "This is an auxiliary secret technique, called disappearing, you can understand it literally, learning him, you can make you temporarily disappear in front of others, and even if you move, the other party can't see you." ”

Dylan's eyes lit up suddenly, this secret technique is very interesting, it can make people disappear? At present, he doesn't seem to need a hurtful secret technique, but this book "disappears", which seems to sound good.

If you learn the secret technique of "disappearing", then it seems that it will be much easier to do anything by yourself in the future.

"Have you thought it through, which one would you like to choose?" asked Carlos.

Dylan no longer had any hesitation: "I choose to disappear!"

"Oh?" Carlos was surprised by Dylan's choice, because he had thought that Dylan would choose a damaging secret technique, but Dylan ended up choosing a secondary secret technique, which was really incomprehensible.

However, Carlos did not ask in detail about the specific reason: "The materials for making secret techniques are extremely special, once you open the secret techniques, the records in them will automatically enter your mind, and the secret skills will automatically disappear." Therefore, the secret technique is an extremely precious consumable that only mages above the Magister level can be able to craft, and the production price is very expensive. ”

Dylan took over the secret technique, and in an instant, all the information about casting the secret technique "Vanishing" came to his mind, and the file in his hand recording the secret technique disappeared.

It's really amazing!

Dylan reminisced about it in his mind, and soon mastered how to use the secret technique "Disappearing". Although the "vanishing" magic is very useful, it requires a lot of mana, which is also a major disadvantage of this secret technique!

After a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly handed the broken mysterious codex from his bosom to Carlos: "This is a shadow code left by my mother, and there are a lot of strange magic circles in it, and I don't know what these magic circles do. ”

"Your mother Elena left it?" Carlos' voice changed subtly, and a beautiful face instantly appeared in his mind.

Carlos took the Codex, his eyes were full of tenderness, and after reading it for a long time, he sighed and returned the Codex to Dylan: "This is a Shadow Codex written by your mother, and I recognize her handwriting." ”

"What?" Dylan was visibly shocked by this answer, "My mother is a Holy Light Magister, so how can she study shadow magic?"

Carlos said, "Your mother always believed that all magic had something in common, and that she thought that different magic could merge with each other to form some kind of new magic. I guess that's why she's studying shadow magic. Unexpectedly, however, shadow magic would soon be recognized as evil magic by the Mage's Guild. Many books on dark magic have been burned by the Wizards' Guild, and this code is also the remnant of your mother's hard work. ”

Dylan's inner turmoil is like the sea in a storm, and one of the knowledge indoctrination he has received since childhood is the most important and the most basic. That is, two different magics, it is impossible to fuse with each other, and if someone dares to try, then what awaits him will inevitably be an explosion and death.

This is the consensus of almost all magicians today, how could his mother, as a Holy Light Magister, not know this?

Then there is only one answer, and that is that when she studied different magic, she did find some important connections, and as for what it was, it was impossible to verify.
