Chapter 176 Overview of the Magic Lesson
The bright star in the sky lasted only five minutes from its appearance to its invisibility, and only a few people saw it. After that, life goes on, and Feige's first magic lesson won't be delayed by a peculiar star.
"Come out and come to the playground. Feige first hugged Joe Duo goodbye, and then used the lecture to distract the sadness of parting. "Put down the textbooks, and I won't talk about the contents today. In particular, the first three lessons in it are all rote memorization, you should remember as soon as possible, I will not waste time on this kind of thing. ”
Feige's students range from children and teenagers to adult and tried and well-informed rangers, who come from different beginnings and cannot be taught in a generic way. Teaching students according to their aptitude is the best option, but Feige doesn't know how to doppelgänger, so he has to use another method.
"I've heard you guys giggling outside, and Joe Duo has a lot of magic that is very difficult, and his adaptation is very important, and it seems to be supplemented with a matching song. I guess the reason you're laughing is because you think he's exaggerating, right?"
Many of the students smiled knowingly, and the two little ones nodded vigorously.
"Well, one thing to disappoint you: Joe Duo didn't scare you at all, magic is hard to learn—even with his introduction to magic from scratch. Ideals are one thing, reality is one thing, they are often two different things. You are the first batch of students, and to put it nicely, you are called pioneers, and to put it to the point, you are the experiments. My main expectation for you is to test the teaching methods of magic and then improve the textbook. So, the difficulties you will encounter will be the greatest of all the magic students. ”
At this time, no student could laugh anymore, and even Liz, who was standing on the sidelines and listening, became very serious. Feige's gaze swept over each student's eyes, and he could feel confusion, nervousness, unease, and cringe in the fire of everyone's souls. "The bad news doesn't end there, and it's up to me to make things clear at the beginning: I'm not sure how many of you will be able to learn magic. For the fastest, I estimate it will take three or four months to get started, but for some people it may not take a lifetime. But the responsibility is not for magic, not for me, but for yourselves. If you're already scared and don't want to learn, you can leave now. ”
Feige waited for a moment. He noticed that a young man from Collingwood was a little shaken, at least his feet were swinging uncomfortably for a moment, but in the end no one chose to leave. "Remember your choices today, and especially remember this sentence: today, compared to the rest of your life, will be the most ignorant, helpless, and vulnerable, and you have no choice to give up at this moment. ”
Feige raised his right arm and pointed at the Pit Excalibur, "Notice the rope with the sword hanging from it? At the same time, I had four other magic spells in effect at the same time. Why should I let you learn magic, or why did I have to let you suffer this sin. The reason is simple, just one thing: magic is strong enough. ”
"You almost all know that I participated in the Priest's jousting tournament and won the championship. If you count the private competition, then I am a double champion. You may have heard some other sayings, such as that there are not many strong players in the Priest's competition, and the level is average. But no one knew about another fact: I had only used three spells over and over again in the entire tournament, and I had forty spells at the time, and twenty-seven of them could be used in battle. The weakest is this ......"
Feige raised his left hand, then flipped his palm upward, and several stones floated in the flowerbed beside him. "This is the first spell you will learn: SUA. It's a simple pronunciation, and I think you can all say it easily, but no stone will float with your voice. The runes behind the spells, the connection between the runes and the world, the connection between the world and your soul, and the connection between your soul and your body and your will, are the hard part. ”
"When you've learned enough, you can do that, and that's the spell I just finished. Fitch slammed his staff on the ground, and the gem at the tip of the cat-teasing stick flickered, and then countless runes flowed down the gem like a waterfall, crawling along his arm and covering Fitch's body. Then, in about two seconds, the rune "engulfed" Feiqi, and then suddenly flew out, creating dozens of identical Feiqilai within a range of 100 meters.
"There's only one in it that's true," Feige's voice came from all directions, so it was simply audible and indiscerning. "When I look at a target, all the illusions will look at the same target, and when I do the pointing motion, they automatically adjust instead of repeating it, so it's very difficult to tell the difference. And by the way, I don't need to move my eyes to see in all directions, and I don't need to move my staff to hit all angles, which makes it even more difficult. ”
"Because I can control sound, and the essence of sound is vibration, I can also confuse bats and make them dizzy. But I have to admit that I haven't done my best at this point, and there are mistakes. And I can't perfectly mimic the temperature for the time being, especially the flow of blood, and the smell, so this spell may not be able to fool vampires, ghouls, etc. But the greatest use of this spell is not to deceive people, but to be mobile. ”
"Some of you have seen my Qi Elemental Rope, which carries me away from attacks and defeats my opponents with great mobility. And these apparitions, I can reach and replace one of them at any time, like this......"
All the phantoms raised their hands, then pointed downward, each firing a tiny bolt of lightning. Only one of these apparitions was real, a bolt of lightning blasting a crater the size of a fingertip into the dirt floor.
Elway Hawkeye glanced at the shape of the pit and immediately turned to look for Feige. Liz looked in the same direction, but she did so with her sensitivity to mana and runes. At this time, all the phantoms were doing their previous actions again, and dozens of lightning bolts reappeared, creating a new one next to the previous small pit.
"Direction has changed!" Elway immediately turned to a new direction, and Liz was a little quicker than him. However, Feiqi's phantoms repeatedly fired lightning bolts, and although they could tell by the shape of the pits and mana fluctuations each time, the two of them were never able to know Feiqi's location before attacking. Liz started clapping first, and then Airway joined in.
As a result, all illusions vanished, and everyone found Feige still standing in place, seemingly never moving. At this time, he finally stopped the serious face he had before, but smiled a little more: "The combination of short-distance teleportation and illusion is very mana-consuming, if you don't applaud again, I will almost lose my hand." ”
"Principal Feige, apart from spells, can the movements of archery be imitated by phantoms?" Elway asked suddenly.
"Yes. Fei Qi nodded: "All actions, as long as the light and shadow can be expressed, can be imitated, all you have to do is to prepare the spell in advance, teach yourself the corresponding knowledge of spells, mana and magic matrix, the essence of which is to let the soul communicate with the world, so as to change the world." On the other hand, I don't recommend using a bow or any projectile weapon, as you're trying to mimic the effects of arrows and weapon reductions, which requires constant phantasm adjustments, and the mana cost isn't suitable. It's easier for a soul to express itself than to show a change in your equipment. ”
Elway nodded. If you don't care about anything else, even if you only learn this one spell, the magic school will not come in vain.
"Unfortunately, you're not the first to learn magic - Joe Duo was the first. But the good news is that Joe Duo has at least proven that magic can be learned, and not some unique ability of my own. Feige rubbed his hands together and said to all the students, "Alright, all the motivational speeches before the official start of classes are left with the last sentence: As long as you don't give up magic, then I won't give up teaching you." With that said, let's go and recite the mantras written by Joe Duo. Oh, and you can ask me about any place you don't know. At least there's nothing you need to understand these days, it's all rote memorization. You've got half an hour to memorize the first three mantras and come and run!"
If Feiqi's teaching method is placed on the earth, he will definitely be scolded to death every minute. However, in Minas Ihir, or in the broader scope: Yongli Continent, it can be regarded as a conscience education, at least he directly imparts knowledge.
Fundamentally, there are only apprentices and no students in the Yongli Continent. The apprentice eats and lives in the master's house, and before learning the skills, he first has to become the master's servant, responsible for countless miscellaneous duties. For example, a knight's apprentice's first job is to wash clothes, make beds, fold quilts, serve food and wash dishes, and then learn to maintain weapons, wipe armor, and take care of mounts and saddles. As for how to swing a sword and block, don't think about it for at least two years. Even Young Master Hall went through this process, but he was the son of a strong earl, so he was exempted from cleaning the toilet and cooking for people, and began to learn swordsmanship after a year - he gave up after about half a year.
Feige didn't need the students to take care of themselves, he just asked them not to bother to take care of themselves. Eddie hired two maids at the school to take care of the cooking, and if there was a sewing job, they would also hand it over, and the students would just need to keep themselves and the classroom clean. Then, from the first lesson, everything was about magic, even as they ran around the playground under Feige's command, they had to shout the mantras of magic runes in their mouths—the ones they had just memorized.
The physical fitness of the students is strong and weak, and the gap is obvious, if a seven or eight-year-old child and a three-hundred-and-fifty-year-old elf ranger run on the same field, it is called a waste of time. Feige watched them run around and beckoned Elway to come over.
"Do you need me to train with weights?" said the Elven Ranger, who was very self-conscious, and he offered to ask for an extra weight.
"I'm a training magician, not an elven falconer, I just need to meet the general standards. Feige shook his head, changed the subject, and asked, "You elves are famous for their bow and arrow skills, I want to know how far your average range is?"
"It depends on the terrain. The Forest Ranger ...... with a short bow
"In the open, with less shelter – I add. ”
"Oh, that's a good idea if an elf can hit a two-hundred-meter shot. In the same situation, the human shooter is fifty to one hundred meters, and the disadvantage is obvious. Alway thought for a moment and added, "If you use a special powerful hard bow, there are quite a few elves who can accurately hit the apple at a distance of three hundred meters, and I can basically guarantee this - as long as the wind direction can be stable." With the help of wind and terrain, 400 meters is the limit. Exceeding this distance is either with the help of divine magic or lucky. Dare to say that his 500-meter stable hit is bragging. ”
"Is there a race stronger than elven archery?"
"The Seraphs are very strong, and there are no arrows within two thousand meters, but this is also a divine skill, right? Let me think about it......" Elway's slender ears trembled slightly, and his gray eyes blinked a few times: "It's gone, it should be gone." Except for the demons of hell, but I haven't seen them shoot arrows. ”
"It's them, it's not them, and the demons used to be angels too...... Forget it, it doesn't matter. Fei Qi put aside the memories of the forked road demons that came up for a while, and then said, "Can you say that: in addition to siege weapons, four hundred meters is a dangerous distance for the beginning of the battle?"
"That's true, but why are you calculating this? Could it be ......" Elvae lowered his voice, "Are humans going to war with elves?"
"You're thinking too much. I'm just thinking about what kind of physical fitness standard to use to ask magicians to be better. Feige pondered for a moment, snapped his fingers, and said, "Elway, I'll give you a job." Look at the campus, it's more than a hundred meters from here to that end, right?"
The elf nodded, "That's right, are you going to install a target there?"
"Even better than that, I came up with a 'recreational project' that will definitely be remembered for a lifetime. Follow me and I'll explain it to you. ”
Feige walked with Elway, and then said his thoughts: "First run, and then here there are five round platforms a little above the ground, like a low tree stump, on which you can leap forward. This is followed by a square pit with the edges made of bricks, about the level of your eyebrows. Wait, a little shorter, after all, there are still young students...... Let's separate the left and right, one side is tall and the other is short. ”
"Behind the pit is a low wall, with holes on the left and right, one high and one short. Well, flip over or drill through. Then there is the high board jump, from high to low three floors, the highest below is empty, and the younger ones can just walk over it, no need to go up. Then there is the ladder, that is, the siege ladder is put down, and the height you look at. This was followed by a single-plank bridge and a raised platform, and finally a low rope that required to be drilled underneath. That's almost 200 meters in one trip, plus 100 meters each for the first sprint and 100 meters for the final finish, which is exactly 400 meters. ”
"It's complicated, but ......," Elway thought the more he thought about it, the more interesting the training became, "Although there is no archery or combat, most of the rangers' movements do. Feiqi, have you studied the combat skills of our elves?"
"Don't always think I'm trying to steal information and then do it to the elves, I don't have that time. Don't forget that I'm an official monster hunter who has passed the training and strengthening rituals, and I'm from the earl's family, and the knight training is no less. These movements without riding skills can always be figured out as long as you use your brain. Fei Qi snorted and said, "Your job is to make this set of things, and I'll check it." If a magician wants to be able to command his soul and change the world, how can he do it without training?
"Well, the intellect and the body understand, what is virtue?"
"I should have killed you with the thunder of a goddess, you slow-brained fellow!" Feige held up his cat teaser. Of course, he didn't really fight, after all, as long as he was a qualified magician, he wouldn't fight with an elven ranger elite at a distance of half a meter.
