Chapter 126: Faith
Out of the cave, the Imperial soldier and the two students disappeared from Tolf's sight, and then he smiled at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, you are worthy of being a dragonborn. Although he can't use witchcraft for the time being, he is already an extremely good warrior with his skills. ”
It turned out that Tolff knew his identity, and it seemed that he didn't want his identity to be exposed, so he specially drove away all outsiders. Hearing Tolf, who had always been dissatisfied with him, praise himself, Li Mu didn't dare to take credit, but said modestly: "The teacher praised it falsely, if the teacher hadn't been distracted to take care of Zag, Brilina and the other two, what are these ghouls!" Teacher, can you clean them up? ”
"Hehe, you can see it thoroughly!"
Acknowledging Li Mu's strength, Tolf did not hide Li Mu's ability to see through his strength, but confidently continued: "My two disciples, although they have good qualifications, are unpolished and cannot be of great use.
Although Zag is a half-orc, he is highly talented, especially good at destroying witchcraft. Coupled with his half-orc physique, the material of a natural warrior, the future is bright. But now he has too many distractions and is bent on learning the strongest witchcraft, which leads him to be too conceited, and the pursuit of perfection is not perfect.
And Makeo's Brielina, this little girl is the opposite of Zag, naturally timid and unconfident. Although the talent is not bad, he is always cringe, and even the witchcraft he is proficient in is protection and summoning. Every time I watched her fight, she first laid down a protective formation, and then summoned elemental spirits, hiding in the rear. Fighting like a man, there is a serious lack of confidence. ”
While walking and chatting, Li Muben wanted to open his mouth to ask him about witchcraft, but he didn't expect Tolf to take over his chatterbox and talk about his students. Such a detailed introduction really made Li Mu unclear what this Torf meant.
Seeing that Li Mu listened carefully to his introduction, Tolff continued: "Li Mu, I have been observing you all the way, you are a person worthy of trust. Coupled with the fact that you're the last of the Dragonborn, you have a bright future ahead of you, and whether you're working for or against the Empire, you're definitely in need of a helper. What do you think of these two disciples, can they still be cultivated? ”
No wonder the Imperial soldiers were separated, Li Muke didn't expect Tolf to say such a rebellious thing, he clenched the golden needle, kept his distance, and asked Tolff carefully: "Teacher, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that I, Li Mu, will betray the empire? ”
Seeing Li Mu's careful vigilance, Tolf was unmoved, and continued to smile: "How the empire is, it has nothing to do with our Winterhold Academy. We, Winterhold Academy, regardless of the disputes on the mainland, are dedicated to inheriting ancient witchcraft. As long as you have the ability and talent, no matter what race you are, our college will love to teach.
But as a Norder, I, Tolf, not only resent Ancano's supervision of the Academy, but also Sommer's dictation of Skyrim. But as a teacher in Wintercastle, you can't participate in the struggle between Nord and Somer, so I want my two students to follow you, which is also my Nord heart's desire. ”
Of course Li Mu would not refuse to accept two powerful assistants, but he said worriedly: "The teacher's kindness, of course I will not refuse." But I, Li Muke, can't use witchcraft, if you let them follow me, will they be willing to obey? Look at your student Zag, but he doesn't like me. ”
"You don't need to worry about this, I just said that you can't use witchcraft only temporarily. I already know why your use of witchcraft has always failed, because you are a dragonborn, and I am afraid that you do not believe in the god of the Nords, the ninth spirit, Talos, but your dragon god Akatosh, right?
The use of witchcraft, which comes from the magic in the body, concentrates the will through spells, and establishes a connection with your faith between the breath and the breath, which can be cast as soon as it is ready.
But if you don't believe in the Ancient Original Gods or the Nine Holy Spirits of the Day After Tomorrow, of course you can't use witchcraft. After all, witchcraft originated from the gods, and mortals only established beliefs and learned them through learning. So, if you want to use witchcraft, you have to choose a belief and sincerely believe in the existence of gods. ”
After Tolf's detailed explanation, Li Mu realized the root of his problem, and it turned out that the root cause of the failure of witchcraft was his lack of faith.
Although he has seen everything from all over the world, demons and monsters have seen everything, Li Mu still doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, only himself. I didn't expect that if you want to use witchcraft, the solution is so simple, just choose a god to believe.
But whether it is Talos of the Nord people or Akatosh of the dragonborn, Li Mu is not a native of the country, and if he wants to believe in these inexplicable gods, Li Mu really can't make up his mind.
Reluctantly allowed himself to choose his faith, Li Mu was also worried that he would not be very religious. Instead of being perfunctory, Li Mu simply went through the three clears, six royals, five directions and five elders in his hometown.
When his mind turned to the Southern Red Emperor Dan Ling Zhen Lao, Li Mu immediately felt a warm current flowing through the Lingtai, and he was refreshed, and it seemed that he was connected with the gods of his hometown.
With faith, Li Mu returned to Winterhold Academy, and he was really out of control in learning the five systems of witchcraft. As a highly-talented student in a real-world medical school, it's all too easy to memorize a few short mantras. As soon as he learned, he drew inferences from one another, and his performance in class immediately shocked the teachers and students of the whole school.
Thinking that Tolf had opened a small stove for Li Mu, Zag, who was greatly dissatisfied, ignored the teacher's obstruction, launched a challenge and made a heavy oath, and the duel resulted in either Li Mu handing over the method of speeding up his studies, or he left the academy.
Although Winterhold College is a college, it has fewer teachers and fewer students. In a huge college, there are only about 20 teachers, and there are even fewer students, plus Li Mu has less than 10 people.
Every student is a treasure, they can't afford to lose at all, the academy has always forbidden any competition between students, and anyone who insists on going his own way will inevitably be expelled from the academy and become a wandering wizard on the mainland.
Zag self-destructs his future, and Torf is deeply heartbroken.
If there is a challenge, of course Li Mu will take it, but Li Muke can't look down on Zag's bet to leave the academy, but stands in the protective barrier and says to him: "They all say that half-orcs are stupid, but I think you Zag is quite smart?" The initiator of the duel, whether he wins or loses, will be expelled from the academy, your bet is already doomed, what benefit can I get? If I can't get anything, why should I compare myself to you? ”
Standing on the arena, surrounded by teachers and students from the academy, Zag ignored these incomprehensible gazes, stared at Li Mu and couldn't hide his fiery gaze, and said, "Okay, whatever you want, just say it, I accept it." ”
Seeing that Zag was playing a package ticket, he didn't seem to take himself in his eyes at all, Li Mu didn't mind, stared at the confident Zag, and said meaningfully: "This is what you said, if you lose, I want you to make an oath and follow me for the rest of your life!" ”
