16. Walking on water

Sometimes, just by accident, something important may be overlooked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a green rose, at first like a flower bone, and later, it slowly bloomed into a delicate rose in my hands, and the color gradually faded from thick to thick, when this rose was completely carved, it became a white rose with only green edges, in order to learn to carve with apples in this hand, I took great pains at first, just to be able to show off in front of girls, so that the girl I liked could show a light smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, this time, I showed my hand in front of this middle-aged water magician who claimed to be an artist.

The orc kid stood by and looked at us curiously, and I noticed that his eyes were burning when he saw the wall of ice, and the kid was interested in magic. I turned around and wanted to leave again, but the middle-aged magician was still holding the rose in his hand and pondered it repeatedly, and when he saw that I wanted to leave again, he hurriedly asked me, "Young man, where are you going?"

"He said he was going home!" the orc child explained in orc language to the middle-aged magician next to him.

"You don't want to save those people on the other side of the lake? You want to run away? Don't you always want to just them? Why do you give up now?" The middle-aged mage saw that my footsteps did not stop, so he hurriedly chased after me and kept questioning me, perhaps a little eagerly, in a panic, he accidentally stepped into the gap in the pebbles with one foot, and wet his leather boots.

The middle-aged magician loved cleanliness, and he frowned and pulled out his wet foot from the mud and sand, and immediately condensed a water balloon to rinse the mud-stained shoe. Then he immediately recited a series of incantations, and the rich element of water surrounded him. The next moment, he stood triumphantly in the shallow water by the lake. Actually miraculously floating on the water, when those waves rushed to his feet, they miraculously separated to both sides, and took the initiative to avoid the middle-aged magician.

"Doesn't it feel amazing? It's fun? Do you want to learn? Oh, I guess you're not old enough to go to school, you haven't participated in the awakening ritual yet, do you want to be a magician? If, I'm talking about if...... You have a chance to become a magician, would you like to give it a try?" he smirked at me.

I didn't react at first, so I said to the middle-aged magician, "Everyone has a chance to become a magician." I know!"

The middle-aged magician is like a demon with a golden apple in his hand, standing proudly by the well to lure children to sell their souls. Pointing to the aura of water elementals spreading outward under his feet, he thought I couldn't see the ever-spreading magical elements, so he explained to me, "Look at this magical magic, the sages gave it a very beautiful name, it's 'Walking on Water'. ”

"Look, isn't this skill cool? You have to become a magician to learn to cast spells, just like me!" he said. On the other side, he was still unleashing some simple magic.

"And you, boy, you're lucky! You met me before you went to the Awakening Ritual, and I happen to have a way of giving you a little more chance of becoming a magician than anyone else. In exchange for fairness, if you teach me how to carve just now!" the middle-aged magician continued.

I began to ask her, "Isn't it up to Lady Luck to decide if you can become a magician?" Are you her servant?"

When he heard this, he laughed and said, "You are right, I am very willing to be a servant of all goddesses. But alas, I'm not!"

I paused and asked him with some curiosity, "You said you have a way to improve your chances of becoming a magician in the awakening ceremony?"

All the time. The Magical Awakening Ritual is a very mysterious thing to me.

Seeing that I was really interested in this, the middle-aged magician stood beside me and said to me, "That's right, you see, in fact, a little secret in the magic awakening ceremony happened to be discovered by me. ”

"That is the real intention of the magic awakening ritual, one is to awaken their own magical element carrying capacity, generally speaking, everyone is the carrier of magic elements, our body often contains various types of magic elements, but those magic elements can not be kept in us for too long, only when those magic elements can be stored in our body, then we are qualified to become magicians. The carrying capacity of the magic element can also become the affinity of the magic element, and you must have the affinity of the magic element in order to have the qualification to awaken and become a magician. ”

The middle-aged magician asked me to stand on the water like him, and I felt a little incredible, it felt like I was standing on the ice and watching the waves under my feet parting from the sides of my body, and it was a wonderful feeling. The middle-aged magician took my hand, he was letting me experience the feeling of magic, and he said to me: "The second is that those children who have been screened out have an affinity for magic elements, and only a few children can build a barrier in their bodies that can seal magic elements, and such a magic barrier is called a magic pool by everyone. Whether you can build your own magic pool is also the key to becoming a magician. ”

The middle-aged magician withdrew his gaze and looked at my face. And then he said:

"When some children successfully build up a magic pool in their bodies, it means that the remaining magic elements in their bodies can be gathered in the magic pool of the body, so as to complete the construction of the magic barrier in the body, form the initial magic pool, and then gather the magic power in the magic pool, usually everyone will call this ritual the magic awakening ritual. ”

I don't really know what the Magic Awakening Ritual is all about, but I heard the middle-aged magician say it all the way, and I thought he made a lot of sense, and he told me about the whole process of the Magic Awakening Ritual, and I didn't find anything to increase my chances of becoming a magician.

Then I heard the middle-aged magician say to me: "Every child is born with a magical affinity, and the strength of these magical affinities directly affects whether or not they can build a barrier to seal the magical elements. The stronger the magic affinity, the greater the chance of building a magic pool, but if you are not a magician, you will not be able to perceive your own magic element affinity. ”

He continued, "Actually, I have a way to make you feel how strong your magical affinity is. ”

He condensed a diamond-shaped magic crystal in his hand and said, "As long as you are next to my magical magic crystal every day." Realize the subtle magical elements in the air, there are always some elements that like to be close to you!, before participating in the Awakening Ritual. Next to the magic crystal, feel the magical elements in the air. Magical affinity is bound to increase. ”

"My method is very simple, which is to artificially increase my magic affinity before participating in the magic awakening ceremony. But it's a bit difficult to do, even for magicians with magical perception powers, it takes a lot of time to meditate to improve their magical affinity. Unless I help you perceive the magical elements in the air......"

According to his words, although I don't have a magic pool in my body at this time, I am now a container of magic elements, and all the nodes in my body can store some magic power. And my magic affinity is also very high, how dare he let these secrets in the body know.

According to what he said, in fact, I can understand that there are two important factors for successfully awakening to become a magician, the first is that you need to be born a magic carrier and be able to carry a certain amount of magic power. The second is that the higher the affinity of the magic element, the easier it is to build a magic pool, and when I heard that he was going to probe some of my magic affinity, I was so frightened that I retreated, and said, "My skill at carving turnip flowers." Actually, it's just practice, there's no trick at all!

"Practice, yes, I didn't think of that!" the middle-aged magician laughed.

He stared at me. As if he had an understanding, he quickly said, "You are not a magician at all, so you can't use magical perception to enhance your keen senses. Therefore, it is possible to carve this flower perfectly by simply relying on carving practice. It's a beautiful work of art!"

"And I, I've always allowed myself to fall into a misunderstanding. That is, to think that magic is omnipotent, in fact, these skillful carving techniques are the real art, these are not solved by magic, although the magic carved things are beautiful, without flaws, but also without soul, no life! Only the most basic carving skills can integrate the carver's mood into the work......

The middle-aged magician fell into obsession again, he kept talking to himself, and then he actually laughed: "Hahaha, those ridiculous inscription masters, may never understand why they are stuck in the bottleneck of the first-level inscription, they have always pursued their magic control ability, affinity and accuracy, in fact, they have ignored the most important point, that is, every inscription master needs solid carving, otherwise how can they perfectly draw the magic pattern circle? I didn't expect it to be like this......"

I asked the orc kid next to me, "Is he always like this? Are you with him?"

"My grandma believed he could make me a magician, so she told me to stay with him before participating in the magic awakening ceremony!" the orc child sighed, looking helpless. Obviously, this self-proclaimed artist of the water system is always stuck in his own space from time to time.

In fact, the shock in my heart at this moment was like a volcano erupting, but I tried my best to restrain the excitement in my heart, according to the conditions that the middle-aged magician said, the awakening ceremony was equivalent to half a foot in the magician's door for me. Whether it is the magic carrying capacity of my body or my own magic affinity, I have far surpassed the average child by a few streets. But now, I feel like I'm killing myself by doing anything other than playing stupid, and I don't want this magical maniac to see that I'm any different, or it would be terrible if I became a guinea pig on his test bench.

Actually, what really impressed me was the skill of this water magician, 'Water Walking', and I wanted to learn it. So I told the middle-aged magician about carving, but it was all about carving radish flowers, and sure enough, at the end, when I asked to watch the skill book of his 'water walking' magic skill, the middle-aged magician took out a magic scroll directly from his magic waist bag, and told me that this scroll describes the use of this magic skill, but he finally said to me: " After awakening the magic pool and becoming a magician, if you want to learn this magic skill, you should also prepare well, because this magic skill is not a general magic skill, and it is very difficult to master!"

After the middle-aged magician gave me this magic scroll. I couldn't wait to cut open a spatial crack and pull the little orc boy. It was very natural to step into the rift of time and space, and as he walked, he chattered endlessly: "I think the teacher has been stuck in the bottleneck of the intermediate inscription master. The reason for the stagnation is that the carving skills are not solid, raccoon, you say that if I tell the teacher directly like this, throw me into the galloping river?"

"How do I know if you have to ask me Grandma?" said the orc boy in a broken orc voice.

"You're the teacher's favorite son, how could you not know?" The middle-aged magician's last trouser stepped into the spatial rift, the space-time rift that had been cut very casually in front of me, and it closed in an instant.

The two men disappeared in front of me, leaving only the melting wall of ice, on which the relief of the exquisite view of the fish lake had melted beyond recognition. I sighed in my heart, what a wayward magician, who can draw a space-time rift at will, how much space-based magic element affinity does it take to cross time and space so easily?

It turned out that the middle-aged magician I had always despised was really what he said, and I was lucky enough to meet him at the Magic Awakening Ceremony!

I'm such a special child who was born with a talent for magical perception, but because of a burnout fruit. After being burned by fire poison for a long time, my body slowly developed resistance to fire elemental mana, and because of this, I was able to store some fire elemental mana in my body. This is exactly the time. I learned 'anti-magic', a seemingly useless magic that actually existed for me. But it was my biggest turning point. The body constantly has magical resistance, so each node in the body also begins to have magical resistance. Mana can be stored in such a process. My body has subtly turned into a magic container, but there are so many nodes that can store not much mana. With magical perception and mana, I slowly manipulated these mana, and my own magical affinity slowly improved.

I just stood silently on the shore of the lake, flipping through the magic scrolls in my hand before it got dark.

The entire sheepskin scroll is written in the ancient orc language, which is actually the magic skill of the orc shaman, but fortunately it is a low-level skill, I can barely learn it, and probably the middle-aged magician would not have thought that I can understand the ancient orc language.

The orc shaman witch doctors, themselves are half-wars and half-methods, their mental power is strong, but the magic power is very average, they also have strong strength, but their agility and physique are not as good as the orc warriors, but these orc witch doctors will also use some magic skills in battle. Therefore, the magic skills learned by the orc witch doctor can be performed without spending too much mana, and this 'water walking' itself is still an auxiliary skill, maybe only an idler like a middle-aged magician is interested in learning such a remote magic skill!

I used the pure water elemental power in the spiritual sea again, a lightning bolt rushed out of my body, and drilled into the earth under my feet, and those purest water elemental powers were like condensed ice flames, with my fingertips drawing a beautiful magic pattern circle, a light blue water elemental aura surrounded my body, and there was actually a water elemental aura under my feet that kept spreading outward, and then I tried to stretch out my feet and take the first step towards the lake.

Strange things happened, I actually stood on the surface of the fish lake as the middle-aged magician did before, those shallow waves separated from the sides of my shoes, and even the shoes did not get wet, and the mana consumed by this magic skill is not high, even if I cast it twenty times in a row, the mana in my body will not be exhausted. The 'heating' magic has given me a very strong endurance, although I can't keep much mana in my body, but the speed of 290% mana recovery combined with the 'mana recovery' of the blue crystal stone drum should be enough for me to cast spells continuously.

I had a bold decision in my heart at this moment, I wanted to return to the battlefield on the other side of the lake to save the Terran warriors trapped by the lake, and perhaps tonight would be the only last chance.

The sunset has been submerged in the gray-black mountains, in the mist on the surface of the fish lake, there is a shadow of desperate running, I am adjusting my breathing rhythm, let myself run very regularly, even if the waves on the lake are very large, but where I passed, those waves naturally separated, I ran forward desperately......
