Chapter 23: The Path of the Devil
Going to the magic house, Jarrow not only bought a nice staff, but also took the opportunity to ask the boss what meditation was all about. After trying it there for a while, and seeing that it worked, he immediately left.
Alone in the dormitory meditating, Jarrow did not feel bored at all, but had some joy. From this day on, he officially entered the practice of magic.
It's just that there is one thing that makes him very concerned, why is it all night, and no one has come back? Could it be that the other four were all penances in their respective guilds? No matter how diligent you are, you have to have a limit, right? Could it be that something happened to them? Want to find out?
Looking at the strange red moon in the night sky, Jia Luo thought about it, and saw that the others had never returned, and after waiting for a while, no one came back, so he had to go back to his room to focus on meditation...
If you want to use magic, magic is indispensable, and magic is to manifest and release the magic power in the body, if it is difficult to communicate the magic power in the body, then you need the help of props, such as a staff.
For magicians, mana is equivalent to life force, and what can be called the source of mana is the mana factor. It exists in the atmosphere, in everything in the world, and can be absorbed into the body, and the absorbed magic factor will be transformed into its own magic power.
Meditation is the most efficient way to absorb mana, so the more mana factors you absorb, the stronger magic you can launch?
The answer is no, the body of a magician is like a container, and each magician has its own limit, which is the so-called difference in talent (talent) qualifications!
And skills are derivatives of magic, so adventurers have this difference, for example, even if someone works hard, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be promoted to D-level in a lifetime.
None of these things Jarrow knew from the books, but from the mouth of the owner of the magic house.
He could barely understand this, but the boss also said something to him: if you want to use magic, it is not enough to simply transform the magic power in your body, you also need an indispensable thing!
What else is needed? The boss didn't say anything, he just let him think about it, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he had to focus on meditation.
After a long night of meditation, Jarrow clearly felt a change in his body, is this the change brought about by absorbing the magic factor?
After not sleeping all night, not only was he not sleepy, but he was more energetic, and Jarrow became more and more interested in magic. He wanted to find someone to share the joy with, but he was the only one in the empty dormitory.
It's morning, why haven't you come back?
Although he was very resistant to reaching out to other people, he didn't want to fix them out of sight.
After more than an hour, someone finally came. Seeing Alice practicing her sword in the corner in silence, Jarrow stepped forward and asked, "Is that your new weapon?" Looks great! Alice, you didn't come back last night, what did you do? β
"I'm sorry, but I was just asking my mentor about something, and I forgot the time! Didn't anyone else come back? Also, I believe that their situation should be similar to mine! β
Seeing that Alice continued to swing her sword to herself, Jarrow stopped talking, brought a chair from the room, and sat quietly outside the dormitory door to meditate.
In the afternoon of the same day, the other three came back one after another, but their complexions were very bad, especially Charles, who had just washed their faces, and just lay down in bed and fell asleep, they should have experienced a difficult practice.
And Xiu came back with a bunch of things, put them away, took a shower, and left in a hurry.
As for the red lotus, after taking a bath, her whole body was suddenly resurrected, and she was full of energy, instead of practicing hard like others, she pestered Jia Luo, wanting to see his true face.
Jarrow also wanted to see what he looked like, but the mask was always an issue. couldn't stand the entanglement of the red lotus, so he had to go back to the dormitory.
But he never expected that Honglian would run to the boys' dormitory and continue to pester him, out of helplessness, he let Honglian pinch his face...
Two days later, on the morning, the tenth day of Jarrow's arrival in this world, the team decided to pick up the mission again after the noise of the Red Lotus, who had no pocket money.
This time, everyone is well prepared, and I believe that as long as they are cautious and careful, there should be no problem: "Since we are ready, then we... Well? Jarrow, you have it on your waist. Is it a flute? β
It looks very much like a jade flute, but in fact, seeing that everyone else is very curious, Jia Luo explained: "No, it's a staff I just bought, according to the boss's story, it seems to be a good bone staff, and it has a good fit with my black magic, so I bought it!" β
"I see! Jarrow, your magic is strong enough, if you use it, trust you..."
"No, I've only been exposed to magic for a few days, and I'm not as powerful as you think. Don't talk about that, let's go! β
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Adventurer's Guild. Due to the large number of people in the hall, Jarrow did not crowd in front of the task board with the others, but stood quietly with Red Lotus.
He didn't want to talk to anyone else, but he didn't expect someone to come up and talk. He doesn't have much popularity, and the person who came is naturally President Judy: "Yo, newcomer, I see that you are recovering very well, and your strength seems to have become stronger, are you planning to do a big job this time?" β
Regarding this Judy, who has only met twice, to be honest, Jarrow is not disgusted: "Well, after a few days of rest, if you don't take on some work, it is estimated that the money will be spent soon." President, do you have any good suggestions? β
"Hehe, newcomer, you are really real, there are many ways to make money, it depends on how you choose. But no matter what, fighting monsters is essential, if you want to find a lot of oil and water..."
Judy wanted to continue, but at this time, Xiu came with a grim face: "Hehe, newcomer, this time you guys are early, do you want to take a suitable commission?" I have a special commission, come with me! β
It was a reception room, and a male assistant was sorting out documents, and when he saw Judy arriving with Jarrow and others, he quickly got up and said, "President, why are you here?" β
"Don't be nervous, bring me the commission you just received this morning." "Okay!"
Jarrow was curious about what kind of commission it was, but after Judy got it in her hand, she didn't immediately show the content, but looked at everyone with a smile: "Hehe, I want to know what commission it is?" β
Of course, Jia Luo didn't want to delay too long in the guild, and if it wasn't too dangerous, then he would take it: "Don't worry, before I tell you, I want to say one thing first!" β
"What's the matter?"
"During this time, the adventurers in the same batch as you are very diligent, and the surviving teams have completed at least three missions, and you have so far..."
"President, we call it cautious, cautious, and the number of times we have done it. Nothing is more important than being alive! Now that you're ready, you'll be impressed soon! Don't waste time, let's talk about the content of the commission quickly! β
β.. Well, see for yourselves! If you're not interested, you can go to the quest board and choose. β
After watching it several times, Jia Luo analyzed: "The reward is good, but unfortunately there is too little information, it seems that there will be no danger, but since it is a commission, it is inevitable to face monsters." Repair, are you sure you want to pick it up? β
Xiu hadn't spoken yet, but he saw Honglian clapping his hands and said, "Take it, of course you have to take it!" Jarrow, what are you afraid of? Hmph, isn't it just a monster, what's there to be afraid of! β
If you don't answer, there are still a bunch of people in front of the task board in the hall at this time, and if you want to receive other commissions, you have to wait for at least half an hour.
In addition, the remuneration is indeed very high, and there are many places where the team needs to use money, Xiu immediately nodded and said, "Then take it!" But before we go, we need to be prepared. Thank you, President! β
