Chapter 14 You have a gift for spells

"The gift of the goddess, popping out of the magic array?" Old man Kiprin held the red bull and rubbed his fingers on it, "What kind of metal is this? not like steel, nor silver or copper...... Also, why is it not a lightning bolt on the goddess's gift, but two oxen on top of each other?"

"I think people use lightning paintings to represent goddesses, but that doesn't mean that goddesses only draw lightning bolts, right? I noticed that the patterns of these two cows are very symmetrical, and the materials are also special, so it's difficult for people to draw them, right?" Feiqi shrugged his shoulders, trying to characterize the matter as soon as possible: "What else could it be from the magic array, right?"

That's true. The old man Kiprin nodded and put the can down: "Since it is a gift from the goddess, then drink it with gratitude, everyone will share a point, and it must not be wasted." When I'm done, I'll take the jar back and see what it's made of. Oh, you can go, Fitch stays for a moment. ”

The three friends solemnly took their share of the "sweet sugar drink" and walked away with a smile, leaving Feiqi alone to face the old man. He reached out and touched his head, and found that there was no sweat in it that he had imagined. But the palms of his hands were wet.

"It's an amazing thing. I remember a similar account in the Battle Song of King Yar, which said that devout believers will be blessed, taste happiness, and remove the aging of the body. The old man pondered for a moment in his memory, then continued, "But there is one thing I haven't figured out yet. Although the Earl of Hall's family is a traditional and devout paladin lineage, I have not been able to feel the saintly favor from you. You're an alchemist, not a priest, are you? Have you ever shown the power of magic?"

Feige shook his head, he didn't want to lie about it at all. Suddenly, as if his mind suddenly opened up, a very good explanation popped up: "My lord, these god-given drinks should not be for me, but for the entire Ice Peak Fortress." You think, if it was for me, one can would be enough, there wouldn't be so many. It was clear that the goddess was praising the Icepeak Fortress for its long-standing persistence and loyalty, and I may have just happened to meet such a thing. ”

The old man snorted, his brows furrowed: "Yes, it should be like this, and only this is reasonable." However, being able to coincide with it means that there is some connection between you and the Great Goddess, and perhaps you have the potential to become a priest. ”

Some kind of connection to the goddess? can only be a connection purified by the goddess. If he didn't have a fusion devil in his soul, Feige might try to become a servant of the goddess. Much of this consideration has nothing to do with faith, but with reason. The Goddess of Truth Thunder is the largest and only fully recognized deity in the world, with a well-organized structure and a powerful military. She also provides healing, blessings, protection, and even resurrection to believers, and even after death, the soul has the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God and continue to exist as a prayer provider. Why don't you hug such thighs?

The devil has no future! He can be blown apart by a sick alchemist, half-dead and attached to a technical blue-collar worker engaged in IT. Even if he has all kinds of magical abilities, he must not shrink in the mortal world, and he cannot act openly, so he can only hide in a place where the goddess's sight has not touched for the time being.

"I'm willing to try......" At this time, Fei Qi definitely couldn't directly refuse the old man, otherwise it would be too suspicious: "However, when I was studying alchemy, I didn't try it. Please don't get your hopes up. ”

"Try it first, it won't hurt anything anyway. The old man patted his thigh, and then said, "Even if you really can't use the magic spell, you must have something to do with the magic power, otherwise you won't be able to trigger the power of the magic array." ”

"I'm also interested in spells that don't involve divine powers. Feige brought it up again. "You said that you are willing to teach me something about this, after all, no matter how much my physical fitness improves, I will miss the best age, so I will not be able to reach the level of Giles. Alchemy and spells, I might be able to find a different way. ”

"Do you want to learn now?" asked the old man with a smile.

"Tired, tired, it's not fake. Coach Kelie was definitely not lazy, and I felt like I was dying after every training session. But your palliative potion works, and I haven't survived. Moreover, physical fatigue does not affect the spirit. Anyway, I still have to meditate, and at this time, I should be able to read a book and do some basic study. ”

"You're confident!But I have one more question......" The old man's eyes were sparkling, as if he wanted to see through Feige's heart. "Judging by your performance at Icepeak Fortress, you are humble, friendly, tenacious, intelligent, and now you have to add a studiousness. I really can't think of how a person like you could have earned the title of 'Capital Wave Dog' and not have a good reputation in the entire aristocratic circle?"

Feige fell silent, a difficult question to answer, but one that had to be answered. By reaching the Ice Peak Fortress, he can start his new life. He could send Eddie and Giles, who knew him well, to buy things together, but he couldn't stop his past from reaching Icepeak Fortress. Sooner or later, like today, he will have to explain the change.

"I've been assassinated on the road, and I'm dead — or I think I'm dead once. "Feige is telling the truth. "I felt like my soul was leaving my body and falling. I saw hell, I saw the devil, and I saw people who were controlled and hurt by the devil. I think back to the things I've done, and those are clearly wrong. ”

"I was miraculously alive again. Of course I'm going to make a change. It's not like I haven't learned the qualities you just praised me. I understand everything, but I don't practice it. I...... I'm not in my nature in a way, like an actor playing a role. It's just that I hope that the quality of this good guy character can become a part of me. ”

"Don't worry about children, the world is like that. Seeing a role model and then imitating it is not called acting, but learning. We're all going through this process from the moment the wow fell to the ground. You're fine now, keep up, and I think that's why the Goddess can perform miracles by your side. ”

If the goddess really showed miracles, it should probably be a divine thunderbolt slashing down, right? Fei Qi didn't dare to make a move from the goddess of labor.

"This one is "Prayers and Rituals", you can do it according to the above method, I suggest you choose the Body Charismatic Ritual and learn this to consider the others. On the one hand, you have already triggered a miracle from God, and the success rate of starting with Divine Grace will be high. On the other hand, once you learn the ritual, you don't need palliative potions. Rituals are more effective in relieving fatigue and healing dark wounds. ”

In addition to divine arts, Old Man Kiprin also dabbled in spells and alchemy in general. "The room opposite the platform on the fourth floor is the library room, and the red seven rows of shelves are books related to spells, and you can find a copy in it called "Mysterious Wisdom in Stories and Proverbs", which can be used as an introduction to spells. I have to warn you that it is very difficult to cast a spell without the help of divine powers, and not everyone can succeed, and it is not possible to repeat this success next time. Divine magic is always the best choice, alchemy is not as strong as spells, but at least it is more stable. ”

"You have to be prepared to keep failing, but I don't want you to be stuck in failure and struggle with nothing for the rest of your life. The old man took a key from his waist: "This is a spare key to the library, don't lose it." If you can read the books, then you can read them, but don't practice them, especially before asking my opinion. In particular, the knowledge of those martial arts and school secret techniques is physically and mentally demanding, and blind practice may lead to death. ”

Feige took the key: "I understand, I promise to be careful. ”

"You are a man with a mind and a temperate mind, you can suppress even drug addiction, and I believe in your self-control. Feige, how's your withdrawal now? Can you tell me what the addiction is?"

"There will still be times when I feel a little uncomfortable, but it's much better than it used to be, and it's getting better and better, and I'm confident that I can finally get rid of these symptoms. Oh, the medications I used to take were more complicated, but the main thing was Magic Dreams. ”

"Momeng, how did you have this medicine, where did the prescription come from, why did you take it?"

"I don't remember exactly. Is there anything wrong with this potion? I just know that it has the strongest hallucinogenic effect of all the alchemical formulas I know. I beg your pardon, I don't really want to recall and describe that feeling. When I think about it, I'm starting to feel bad again. ”

"The Dream is an adjunct used by the caster to enhance the effects of elemental meditation. Non-casters can't use this potion, and now even casters try not to use it. The problem with it is that the addiction is too high, and even if the caster is careful and the pharmaceutical technology is good, he may be tricked. Its recipe is kept secret and no longer spreads among casters. You...... You shouldn't be able to know it. ”

"It's the first time I've heard of these things...... "Feige felt that his past life was full of conspiracies, tired and useless. "Don't worry, I've finally trained my body well, and I definitely won't use potions like Demon Dream again, for the time being, I don't even want to touch alchemy, let alone refine medicine to poison myself. ”

"Well, you can leave. Don't show ease in front of Kyle, you'll lose. ”

Feige smiled and left the room with the Prayers and Rituals. There was an hour before dinner to himself, enough for him to go to the library and find "The Mysterious Wisdom in Stories and Proverbs", and maybe see what other books he had.

In Feige's memory, mages were mysterious, or in other words, "scarce" and "unknown". The mages do have some magical powers, and there are many stories about them, some of which have been confirmed by honest knights, and they are very credible. But mages don't have much place in world history, as if they couldn't get on the table.

There is only one truly famous mage, the "Marquis of the Two Moons" Spee Steso. It's just that his fame is not because of spells, but because of the history of romantic feelings. After all, as the son-in-law appointed by the emperor, how could he not be famous for daring to face the threat of the entire Praetorian Guard and eloping with a silver dragon woman? Especially since the silver dragon later killed the royal army that came to encircle and suppress him, and by the way, he also rushed to the palace, kidnapped the princess, and stuffed it to his husband......

This kind of thing is liked in folk novels, but it's just a matter of thinking about it, and Feige doesn't think that this kind of thing will happen to him. Now it's better to be pragmatic, improve your strength, and first be able to take the initiative in front of the devil.

With these things in mind, he opened the iron door of the library.
