''Chapter 89: Learning to Magic Sticks''

I was really surprised and happy by the task of the system. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoAs long as the strength rises by a liter, there will be good things to take, such a good thing, where to find it. At the time, I thought that since I could perceive the elements, it was equivalent to touching the threshold of magic, and it should be very easy to go down, and the name Magic Apprentice was a very basic level, and it should be easy to rise up. But that's what I think, but the reality is a different story.

Avellia told me that the hierarchy of magicians is based on mastery of the elements and abundance of magical power. At this stage, I've just discovered the elements, and harnessing them is another matter. Only when you learn to control the elemental energy and become a magic according to your own control can you really touch the realm of magic and become the most basic and low-level existence among magicians, that is, the "magic apprentice".

The magic apprentice's mastery of magic is still very weak, and he needs the help of a magician above him, so people at this stage generally have to rely on the help of teachers to prompt their strength, master magic, and exist in the way of apprentices, so they are collectively called magic apprentices. And only when the magic power reaches a certain level and can use magic freely, the apprentice can become a trainee magician. And when he can use magic skillfully, freely mobilize the power of the elements, and the magic power is enough to support a fierce battle, he can be regarded as a formal magician. The higher the level of a magician, the higher the threshold for promotion, and ordinary people have to study for three and five years at the optical apprentice stage, and they may not be able to become a formal magician after learning for a lifetime. Originally, there were few people with elemental affinity, and when they picked and picked the official magician, most of them were removed, and the preciousness of the magician was reflected here.

I didn't expect there to be so many doorways in magic, which made my idea of receiving the award disappear after a few days of rushing to apprenticeship, and I started talking to Avellia and Mina (who also learned magic and was already an apprentice....... Studying magic together, I learned to have a special kind of communication with the elements, allowing them to form magic and burst energy according to my ideas. The course wasn't easy and slow, but watching the more and more elemental particles I could control didn't feel any boring.

In this way, while learning magic, I discussed with Fang Zi and the others a plan to rescue me, relying on the intelligence of the alliance and the undead to risk death, Fang Zi found this hidden and well-defended city, and roughly determined my location. But for a dangerous mission like a rescue mission, there is probably not much difference between knowing and not knowing, although Zeng Qiang said that he would help us vigorously, but we still have to wait, until I am a little freer, and there is a little more intelligence.

Although I was very suspicious of the relationship between me and Avelia, Fang Zi still told me to communicate with her more, maybe we could get the information we needed from her. And I did learn some useful information in the process of learning magic. Although the guard kept reminding her not to say something, she told me a lot of things, which was useful for us.

...............

In the blink of an eye, I had been in the legion for a full eighteen days, and this kind of life without "her" was really life-threatening. There are still some problems that need to be solved in the rescue plan, and Zeng Qiang also has a problem, he seems to have been besieged by two other camps because he took in a female elf, according to him, it is easy to defeat them but it will take time, and my matter has been postponed for a few more days. And that old bastard of Kuba also scavenged batch after batch of holy water from Fang Zi and them, and the amount was enough for him to take a bath! Avellia complimented me on the holy water we produce, and brought me a little bit of it, saying that the holy water is a good tonic for the cultivation of magical power, and the magic contained in one drop of holy water is enough to restore an overdrawn apprentice to its fullness, and the effect is far better than the common high-grade magic potions on the market. According to her estimates, if she brought this holy water to a high-grade apothecary in the Subic Kingdom, it could be sold for 800 to 1,000 gold coins per bottle. Sure enough, the Zai Alliance relented at the beginning...

But when she told me that the Legion was distributing holy water, my heart was bleeding. That's hundreds of thousands of gold coins, Kuba is picking up my roof tiles and cutting my flesh in front of me! I have a worse opinion of him, sooner or later I will let him know the consequences of snatching money from a Taurus pocket!

However, during this time, I still made a lot of progress, relying on the guidance of famous teachers and reading lang... (Not true!) With the help of holy water, my learning efficiency was very efficient, and my mana gradually increased by 4 points, reaching 5 points, which is enough to cast a small magic. My ability to grasp the elements has also increased dramatically, and the original elemental particles have become the flow of elemental energy that now surrounds me, condensed and visible to the naked eye. In that elemental flow, I saw all sorts of elemental particles swimming through it, but the most numerous and most affinity with me was the yellow earth element.

Avellia told me that magicians are no more than a constraint, they can use magic with various attributes, but there is a clear priority, and there must be a main direction, and this direction is the one with the best elemental affinity.

Her meaning was obvious, she suggested that I focus on earth elemental magic, and I agreed, the earth elemental magic used in the battle against the unicorn Mowson is still fresh in my memory, it was the first time I saw magic (if the system doesn't count the ones), and I was still very impressed. But the first magic that Avellia taught me wasn't earth-based magic like a ground thorn, but --- fireballs.

According to her, this magic is the simplest of the basic magic, and the violent effect of the fire element itself makes this magic very powerful as long as it is slightly controlled, which is very suitable for apprentices to practice and strengthen their mastery of the elements. Of course, she also reminded me that it was not uncommon for apprentices to burn themselves when using this magic.

Although I don't think it's a good thing to be blackened by my own fireballs, I also gave up for the sake of learning magic and rewarding the mission! Under Avria's teaching, I managed to control the irascible flow of fire elemental energy to gather into a pea-sized ball of fire, and ignited a piece of sawdust. I was so happy with my first magic success that I went straight to condense a fireball the size of a ping-pong ball and managed to scorch a few of my hairs.

I was visibly embarrassed and frustrated looking at my blackened clothes and hands, but Avellia still smiled and instructed me to try again, even though I knew she had laughed when the fireball exploded.

This time I made the flame a little smaller, a little smaller than before, and I took control of the small fireball in my hand and threw it onto the wooden board in the corner of the wall that was used as a target.

''Bump! β€˜β€™

The fireball exploded, sending out countless sparks, leaving a small hole in the center of the plank that was still burning slightly, and all around it was blackened. Even though the hole wasn't as big as a fireball, I was still excited, and my success motivated me to keep trying, but I also found a problem. When I went back to contact the wandering elementals, I felt an unbearably tired feeling, and I opened my attribute table only to find that my 5 mana was empty.

''What a situation!'' The witch used such a powerful spell to drop 5 mana, and I ran out of three small fireballs? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? β€˜β€™

However, for my question, Xiao Zero and Avelia already have the answer.

"It doesn't matter, novices are basically like this, magic control is not good, the consumption of using a magic is several times normal, it doesn't matter, it's good to be proficient." β€˜β€™

[Small Zero: Host, after system detection, a large amount of mana leaks when you use magic, and the waste rate exceeds the required mana by three times.] The elemental depletion rate is 70%, and the mana invested is disproportionate to the magic effect, causing the mana to be depleted prematurely. 】

β€˜β€™....... Well, I see, good magic has made me a loser. β€˜β€™

Although I was disappointed, I picked up the holy water bottle next to me and drank a little holy water. The warm current that flowed through my whole body healed my wounds and restored my magic to the fullest. I struck the spirit and began to gather the power of the fire elemental again......

''Bump! β€˜β€™

Over the course of a day, Avria came to me three times to instruct me in the use of magic. Mina also came over once and asked me to play with her. After using up a few milliliters of holy water (20 drops per milliliter) and a few strands of hair, I was finally able to throw that egg-sized fireball out. The force directly shattered the scarred plank (which was already the fourth), and even Normansius, the caretaker, praised my ability to learn, saying that it took the Legion's apprentices almost three days to do what I did. (though Avria says it only took her an hour) and what made me happiest was that my mana limit had gone up to 7.

A simple fireball magic is a matter of minutes for the protagonist of other novels, but it took me two and a half days to cast it freely, and it is very fast for the average person. This made me understand the gap between reality and fiction and movies, and it also made me understand that learning magic is indeed a difficult job. However, I still pay more attention to the present, such as throwing this ballball of fireball the size of wool in my hand.

''Bump! This time the flames worked so well that the two layers of two-centimeter-thick planks were directly penetrated, and Mina clapped her hands with joy, even though I knew she was just a child. I can now walk around the door, but it's walled and I can't see anything outside, but there's a lot more space to move around. And I feel that the attitude of the Legion towards me has changed somewhat. I thought as I released another fireball. And this time, it wasn't just the sound of fireballs exploding.

''I'm going, it's fire-related, but I'm earth.'' β€˜β€™

I complained and smiled so badly that even Avelia, who had come to congratulate me on my apprenticeship, was a little confused. Just as I was thinking about whether to find a chance to get him first (don't get me wrong, roar roar...... I saw Hoyard come over with that damn smile again.
