Chapter 20: The Magical Magician

Lin Xia was speechless at Bacon's cheekiness and asked, "You fake magician, where did you get the magician badge, aren't you afraid that the magician guild will hunt you down." "The mage badges are all specially made by the Mage Guild, and they have the magic mark of the Mage Guild on them, and ordinary people can't imitate them at all.

"I am a true magician. Bacon immediately stood up, withdrew his flattering expression, and said with a serious face: "I am a badge issued by the Magicians Guild who has passed the assessment of the Wizards' Guild in a dignified manner. ”

Bacon's serious expression made Lin Xia a little surprised, Bacon is not completely bottomless, it seems that he cares a lot about his identity as a magician, and continued: "You can't even use magic normally, how can you pass the assessment of the Magicians Guild." ”

"I just...... It's just that it's not in a good state, yes, it's just a bad state. Bacon also seemed to find his words unconvincing, and could not help blushing. I wanted to explain, but I couldn't find any other excuse.

Lin Xia blushed when he saw bacon, with such a thick skin and such a bottomless person, he would blush. said, "You can use another magic to see." ”

Bacon took out his wand again, and only then did Lin Xia take a closer look at Bacon's wand. In this world, magicians mostly choose walnut wood as the material used for magic wands, because walnut has the best magic conductivity, and then indicate the power of magic by setting various magic gems on the wand. Bacon's wand, although also made of walnut, feels rudimentary.

The thickness of this wand is uneven, only a few magic gems are sparsely inlaid at the top, no, it should be a few magic gems, because this gem is too small, each gem is only the size of a grain of rice, and the luster of each gem is very dull, and the quality is very poor at first glance. There are still many holes in the wand, and after Lin Xia's observation, these holes are not used to inlay gemstones, but insect holes. You must know that magicians are mysterious and rich, and looking at the appearance of this wand, you can know that Bacon is definitely a poor man among magicians.

Bacon was chanting a spell when one of his wands, a blue gem the size of a grain of rice, lit up. A mist formed at the tip of the wand, and Bacon drank: "Water...... Before he could finish speaking, the fog on the tip of the wand cleared again...... Scattered...... , Bacon was a little deflated, and sat down on the ground again with a blank look in his eyes.

Lin Xia carefully observed the process of Bacon's magic, and did not find out Bacon's cheating moves, thinking that it should be real magic, but I don't know why, Bacon's magic was not completed, so he asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Bacon sat on the ground dejectedly, his eyes were a little dazed, and said, "Although I have the talent of a magician to cultivate magic, I can't control magic. Bacon told Lin Xia the truth about his experience as a magician.

Bacon came from a small mountain village and was bullied by children of the same age since he was a child because his family was poor. One day when he was eight years old, Bacon was scolded by the children of the same village as usual, and an old magician of the second level happened to pass by and found that Bacon had the talent of a magician, so he accepted Bacon as a magic apprentice.

This old magician has very poor talent, and he is already seventy years old and has just been promoted to a second-level magician. After receiving Bacon, he lived in Bacon's village, let Bacon take care of himself, and instructed Bacon to practice magic.

Bacon's talent is not stronger than this magician, and it took more than ten years of cultivation to barely cultivate magic power, and when the old magician taught Bacon magic, he found that although Bacon had magic power, his control over magic was surprisingly poor. Every time you condense your mana and want to cast a spell, your magic will crumble. The old magician thought of many ways to solve this, but he couldn't solve it until the old magician died.

When the old magician was dying, he took out a small cloth bag, and there was a little powder in the cloth bag, and said to Bacon that this was a treasure he had found, and that after infusing the magic power, he could cast a first-level fire magic, which was reserved for Bacon's self-defense.

After the old magician died, Bacon gave up becoming a magician, and he had no attachment to the village, so he left the village and came to the imperial capital, wanting to find a living in the imperial capital.

However, when Bacon saw the magnificent Magicians' Guild, he ignited his dream of becoming a magician, so he hid the powder left by the magician in his cuffs and participated in the first-class magician examination of the Magicians' Guild.

During the exam, Bacon injected magic into the powder and cast a flame of first-class strength, and throughout the exam, the examiner found cheating, and in this way received the badge of a first-class magician.

After receiving the Rank 1 Wizard badge, Bacon was a little flustered and decided to celebrate with a drink at a brothel that was one of Xavier's estates.

Bacon had just taken a few sips of wine, and the joy of becoming a magician slowly calmed down, only to remember that although he had obtained the badge of a first-class magician, he was still poor and could not afford to pay for the wine.

The bartender at the brothel was horrified when he found out that it was a magician who couldn't afford to pay for the drink, and he didn't dare to offend, so he had to find Xavier.

In this way, Xavier invited Bacon to be his advisor to the magician, and Bacon readily agreed.

Xavier has great respect for Bacon, after all, it is extremely difficult to invite a magician, and having a full-time magician advisor is a very face-saving thing for Xavier.

Because of Xavier, Xavier's subordinates naturally flattered Bacon, and after a long time, Bacon was also a little fluttery, just when Bacon was about to think of himself as a real magician, Lin Xia brought people to smash the field.

"Your experience as a magician is full of twists and turns. Lin Xia quipped.

"Yes, Young Master Lin Xia, you see how much I have suffered in order to become your servant, thanks to the blessing of the goddess, otherwise I don't know how many tribulations I have to go through to become your servant. Bacon said very shamelessly.

"Don't talk to me, tell me how magic is cultivated. Lin Xia said.

"No, Young Master Lin Xia, my magic cultivation is really too shallow, how can I give you a lecture. I would like to report to you on my cultivation process, and I would like to ask you to guide me so that I can go further on the path of great magic. Bacon said with a look of adoration.

When Lin Xia heard Bacon's flattery, he didn't bother to bother with him, and said, "Say it quickly." ”

"It's the young master. Bacon respectfully agreed, and continued: "The most important thing in magic is mental power, and the strength of mental power determines the potential of a magician. According to my teacher's method, the strength of mental power is first tested with a special crystal ball, and only those who reach the standard of spiritual power can practice magic. Meditation is the most direct way to improve mental power, but mental power cannot reach a certain standard, even through meditation, mental power cannot be improved. ”

This is similar to Lin Xia's understanding of the concept that spiritual power determines magic power, the reason why there are so few magicians on the continent is mainly because the spiritual power of most people is not up to standard.

Bacon continued: "If a person's mental power reaches the standard of cultivating magic, it means that one foot has stepped into the door of magicians. After that, it depends on the degree of transformation from his spiritual power to magic power, this is not a big problem, most of the magicians' spiritual power is equal to magic power, of course, there are a very small number of people with strong mental power, but they can't convert magic power. ”

"In the end, it's all about the control of magic. Speaking of the control of magic, Bacon's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "Although each magician has a different control over magic, but a person like me who can't control magic at all, according to my teacher, is the only magician he has ever seen. ”

Looking at Bacon's depressed expression, Lin Xia had to comfort: "You don't have to worry, there is always a way to solve it." ”

As soon as Lin Xia's words fell, Bacon knelt down and hugged Lin Xia's thigh, crying: "Young Master Lin Xia, I knew that you loved me the most." ”

Lin Xia kicked the bacon away and said, "You dog, you stained my pants." I ask you, how much does a crystal ball cost. ”

"About 70 gold coins. Bacon said aggrievedly.

"So expensive?" Lin Xia knew that the magician's things were very expensive, but the crystal ball that tested the magic power must be a primary magic prop, and a primary thing actually cost 70 gold coins, and Lin Xia collected the protection fee from Tony, and Lin Xia's lion opened his mouth for only 50 gold coins a month. 70 gold coins is enough for an ordinary farmer to plant land for ten or twenty years.

"Is it okay without a crystal ball?" Lin Xia asked.

"Young Master Lin Xia, you are really smart, the crystal ball is only a talent to test spiritual power, it is not necessary, you can directly learn the method of converting spiritual power into magic power. If you can convert successfully, you are naturally talented. Bacon said.

"You tell me how to convert, and I'll try it. Lin Xia said. I thought that Bacon's sycophancy was too numb, and I had to praise me for being smart when I answered a question casually, and I had to find a way to make him change it in the future.

Through Bacon's narration, Lin Xia understood what magic was all about, magicians need to use spiritual power to summon magical elements in the air through mental power when performing magic, the greater the spiritual power, the more magical elements are summoned, and the ability to summon magical elements is called magic power. For example, if you want to cast a fireball, you can use your mental power to summon nearby fire elements through spells, and cast fireballs through the control of fire elements. Bacon's inability to control magic is in fact his inability to control the elements of magic in the air.

Lin Xia was holding a magic spell written by Bacon, which had more than 600 Charlemagne words, equivalent to more than 1,000 words in Huaxia, which was enough for the length of a piece of prose. And this is only a first-level magic, and it is also the most basic fireball technique in first-level magic.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me, a simple first-level magic requires such a long spell?" Lin Xia asked suspiciously.

"I am your most faithful servant, how could I lie to you, this spell was taught to me by my teacher. Bacon said aggrievedly.

"How long do you need to recite this mantra?" Lin Xia asked.

"It takes about 20 seconds, and I read it slowly, but my teacher can read it in about 10 seconds. Bacon said.

"How is it possible, such a long incantation, if I were to recite it, it would probably take three minutes. Lin Xia said.

"It's because I read relatively quickly, and there are many sentences that can be read consecutively, and some sentences can even be completed with a single pronunciation. But I don't recommend that, although you are very talented, it is better to read it in its entirety at first. Bacon replied honestly.

In fact, it was because Lin Xia knew too little about magic, Bacon's teacher was only a second-level magician, and the spells were also the most ordinary, the same fireball technique, the improved spells were actually only a few dozen words, and they could basically be completed in a second or two by reading continuously, and the magic of the first and second levels of the great magician could even reach the level of instantaneous.

Lin Xia looked at Bacon, not like he was lying to himself, and said, "I'll try this spell myself, you go to the guest room to rest first." ”

"Goddess, I can actually see the birth of a great magician, how ...... you are" Before Bacon finished speaking, Lin Xia kicked Bacon out of the door and said, "Hurry up." ”
