The atmosphere in the council hall of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group was depressing and gloomy, as if a storm was about to break out at any moment.

Standing in the middle of the hall, Arthur bowed his head deeply, his tattered leather armor hanging from his body like fragments, and the wounds on his face and chest had long since healed. For a mercenary group with a wood-based mage, this kind of trauma is the easiest to deal with.

Arthur clenched his fists, not daring to look up.

Outside the conference hall, there were many mercenaries looking inside. Although Arthur used a magic scroll when he finally killed the black-backed pig, a mercenary who had just stepped into the first-order warrior of the Terran warrior killed two demonic beasts of the same rank in the first battle, which immediately caused a huge sensation in the mercenary group.

"Who told you to learn magic?" Randall was the first to speak, his tone overpowering his anger.

"I taught Arthur magic and he is now my apprentice to magic. Adeline on the side said lightly.

"No, it's not Teacher Adeline, it's me who has been pestering Teacher Adeline to ask her to teach me magic. Arthur hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

Randall turned his head and gave Adeline a fierce look, he didn't care about anyone in the mercenary group.

Adeline didn't mean to explain any further, still sitting expressionlessly.

"Before I officially taught you martial arts, did I tell you that once you choose to become a martial artist, you can't learn magic anymore, why don't you obey?" Randall yelled, his anger finally exploding.

There is a clear boundary between martial artists and magicians in the Beland Continent, and few people practice both. The reason is simple, whether it is to become a high-level martial artist or a great magician, it takes a lot of time and energy to practice.

Martial artists need to absorb Dou Qi day and night, and then use Dou Qi to temper their bodies, and at the same time, they also need to constantly hone their martial arts. Magicians need more time to meditate and communicate with the magical elements in the space, while also memorizing a large number of formulas for building magic.

"Martial artists cultivate themselves, and Dharma practitioners refine gods" is the most basic theory in the cultivation world.

"I just wanted to learn more. Arthur whispered, still not daring to look up.

"How much have you learned?" asked Captain Keynes on the side.

"I've been able to communicate with the magical elements that wander through space and keep a small part in my body. Arthur replied truthfully.

"What about building a magic array?"

"I can't do it yet, and I always end up a little bit worse. ”

"What's the magic element you're most comfortable communicating with?"

"It's as if all the elements of magic can communicate. Arthur looked up slightly proudly.

"Huh~" Keynes whistled and said with a slight joke: "I thought the mercenary group could harvest a future great magician?"

Arthur looked surprised, as if Keynes did not appreciate his ability to communicate with the elements of magic.

Arthur's expression fell into Keynes's eyes, he turned his head to look at Adeline on the side, and smiled, "You don't seem to have taught your magic apprentice with all your heart, right?"

Adeline's face flushed slightly, "Arthur doesn't have any close magical elements, and in fact he is not suitable to be a magician. But I promised to take him as an apprentice at Nightingale's Bar, and that fireball magic scroll was a welcome gift for me as a teacher, but I didn't expect him to be able to activate magic so quickly. ”

This actually involves another basic theory in the cultivation world, "Only those who are favored by magical elves can become magicians." ”

In order to become a magician, the prerequisite is that the spirit can connect with the magical elements that wander in space. But what kind of physique can communicate with the magic element seems to be random, so far the scholars of the various races in the Beland continent have not found any rules, even if it is the children of magicians, the probability of communicating magic elements is no different from that of commoners.

Even if you can communicate with the magic element, you may not be able to become a magician, and then it depends on the affinity of the magic element, if you can get extra close to the magic element of a certain department, you can really have the qualifications to become a magician. Among ordinary people, the person who can eventually become a magician can be said to be one in a thousand, and it is precisely because of the extremely high threshold that the status of magicians on the continent is more respected than that of martial artists.

Of course, there are also magicians who will get close to the magic elements of two or even three lines at the same time, but the final achievements of these magicians are not as high as those of single-line magicians, and there has never been a full system of magicians in the history of the continent.

Arthur couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face, and turned to look at Adeline, "So I'm sure I can't become a magician?"

Adeline smiled bitterly, then shook her head slightly, "Theoretically, anyone who can communicate with magical elements can become magicians, but they will be many times slower than magicians with strong affinity for single element magic, and the higher they go, the more obvious this gap becomes, and many people will still stay at the level of junior magicians for the rest of their lives." ”

Arthur's dim gaze instantly lit up again, "So I can still learn magic from you?"

Adeline smiled bitterly again, this time really bitterly, "Of course you can, but you are more suitable to be a martial artist, and you will go further on that road!"

"Hmm!" Arthur nodded heavily, "I'll become a powerful warrior sooner or later, but I'm not going to give up learning magic!"

"Little bastard, you give me up this stupid idea as soon as possible! Don't think about any demonic and martial arts dual cultivation, that's impossible!" Randall poured cold water on his head.

Arthur's resolute gaze met Randall, "Teacher, you want me to give up practicing magic, and you have to tell me why?"

Since Randall began to teach Arthur's martial arts, he took the initiative to change his name, and Randall was not very used to it at first, and after a long time, he called Arthur.

"The path of a martial artist's cultivation is like a long race, and a martial artist who pursues a strong warrior has no room for mistakes on this road, and once he goes astray, the realm of his life will stop here!

"Thank you, Mr. Randall, for your teachings, but I still want to learn magic, and I promise not to delay the cultivation of martial artists!" Arthur still didn't give up.

This is the first time Arthur has confronted Randall since joining the mercenary group.

"You!" Randall's eyebrows rose, and a powerful fighting spirit was about to erupt from his body.

A big hand landed on Randall's shoulder at the right time, and pressed back the fighting spirit that was about to erupt, "It's still such a big fire, you have to listen to the little guy's explanation first." ”

Keynes raised his chin slightly and motioned for Arthur to continue.

"When I started learning magic, I just wanted to learn more and make myself stronger. But when I put all my energy into communicating with the magical element, I forget about the pain that 'Danyang Refining' brings to my body. ”

"Say it again!" exclaimed Keynes and Randall at the same time.

Once a martial artist steps into the first-order realm, when cultivating, there will be an automatically rotating cyclone in the dantian to absorb the fighting qi in the space, expand the meridians, and refine the flesh and bones. And the biggest drawback of Danyang Refining God is that the flesh and blood of the whole body and the pain of the spirit are like a scorching fire when the Dou Qi Cyclone is running, so the soldiers in the army they trained before can't cultivate for a long time at all, and they have to stop and rest every half an hour, otherwise the continuous, frying-like pain is enough to drive people's spirits crazy, and Arthur said that he can ignore this pain!

This means that Arthur can cultivate Dou Qi and magic at the same time, which is an unprecedented miracle! And the time to use the "Danyang Refining God" to cultivate Dou Qi will be several times longer than the warriors he trained before!

"Impossible, how can you meditate and calm in that pain to communicate with the elements of magic?" Randall excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Arthur's shoulder, because Arthur grinned because of the excessive pain.

"At first, I just wanted to relieve the pain by diverting my mental attention, but I didn't expect the pain to make me feel that those magical elements were clearer and more real, and once I put my heart and soul into it, I forgot about the pain!"

"Impossible, impossible, how could such a thing be?" Randall shook his head in disbelief.

"How is it impossible, it's just that none of the warriors we brought before were stupid enough to cultivate magic at the same time as cultivating Dou Qi!"

Keynes couldn't help but laugh, "Haha...... Our Blue Enchantress has really picked up a treasure this time!"
