Chapter 27 A long-cherished wish
It took almost 10W words to become a mage, it's a shame, you can quit the group. - The author said to Mu Yan
-----------------
Mu Yan's firm words and fiery eyes made Zayx can't help but think back to his time in the Turing Empire.
At that time, his extraordinary talent was just revealed, but because he was too old, the group of people with eyes on the top of his head in the Mage Guild looked down on him, so he turned to the Elemental Tower, falsely claiming to be a follower of Ysu, and became an elemental mage as he wished.
Although faith was pretended at the time, the thirst for magic was real. Later, when his study of necromancy was revealed and he was expelled from the Elemental Tower, the disappointment and anger in the eyes of his mentor Chris would remain unforgettable for the rest of his life.
"You...... Do you really want to be a necromancer? The school of the undead, which studies golem-making and the anatomy of the human body, can survive in the human world, but once it is tainted with 'necromancy', which involves snatching souls from the River Styx, there is no turning back. ”
Although Zayx's voice was peaceful, it was somewhat bitter to Mu Yan's ears.
Of course, he also knew that the Necronomicon School was not tolerated by humans, but firstly, Leoric was about to move, and the era of the dead was coming, and secondly, he had no intention of returning to the human world, so what was not learning? What's more, after the original level 70 major version passed, those players who turned into necromancers didn't have a good life? Although the Elemental Tower will be in civil strife at that time, it is still too busy to take care of itself, and there is no time to deal with lawless players.
"I've thought about it very clearly, there is no right or wrong in magic, the key is the user's mind, is an evil elemental mage necessarily better than a good necromancer?"
Mu Yan's words touched Zaix's heart, and the latter was almost moved to tears.
He closed his eyes, calmed his surging heart slightly, and then spoke:
"Alright then, come with me to the study."
"Yes."
Mu Yan saluted respectfully as an apprentice.
A smile tugged at the corner of Zaix's mouth.
My first apprentice? Funny little guys.
-----------------
In Lokan, almost all mages have only one of two destinations, joining the Mage Guild or the Elemental Tower.
The former has several legendary mages, who have always shown themselves with a mysterious and cold face, and the purpose of the association is also to love not to come, not to pull down, and the members of the association are above the top. But even so, the name "Legendary Mage" still attracts matheless disciples like a golden sign.
In contrast, the Elemental Towers are much more gentle and considerate, although they don't have any top-notch combat power, but there are many people at the bottom, almost every newborn can't escape their eyes, and occasionally meet the lucky ones with outstanding talents, and will provide assistance for free. But the most they hear is still "I'm sorry, I chose the Mage Association".
Although the two belong to different institutions, the way of training apprentices is basically the same: every mage in the red robe (level 30-40) and above is qualified to take in the apprentice, help him open the elemental passage, be his guide, and lead him into the gorgeous magical world. After adapting to such a life, the apprentices who passed the examination were eligible to put on the gray robes, become official mages, and enter the academy for further study for free. Basically, except for Jialan, an academy that had to be admitted on the basis of merit due to the number of choices, the mage departments of the other academies were never saturated.
Because the number of mages is so scarce.
Because of this, the bond between the apprentice and his teacher is the most simple and mellow relationship on the long road to knowledge, and it is also the precious network wealth of every mage. In addition to the strange things like Zayx, there are many apprentices for mages who are basically over 50 years old, and many of them exceed their own. There is a typical case of Jialan, the legendary mage Glazer was favored by the Lord of the Tower of Time (level 70) because of his outstanding talent, and became his close disciple, but he stepped into the legend three years earlier than the teacher, and it is rumored that the reason why Reslin can also enter the realm of legends is thanks to the help of this good apprentice.
Therefore, when Zayx recognized Mu Yan's apprenticeship, the relationship between the two had changed, and his attitude towards Mu Yan had also changed.
On one wall of the study hung a picture frame of Grace's, and the bookshelves below could be pushed open, and inside was Zaix's meditation room, the floor covered with white paint, and the lines converged in the middle, covered by a futon.
"Sit down."
Zaix gestured to the futon.
Mu Yan hurriedly did so. I don't know what material the futon is made of, it is not silk or bamboo, and it is smooth and cool to the touch.
"Close your eyes and open your heart, I opened the elemental passage by myself, and it took an hour, and your words probably won't be too long."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Wait-" Mu Yan couldn't help but stop him.
"How?"
"This ...... That's it? ”
"What do you think?" The mage sneered, "Shouldn't I put my hand on your forehead, praise the beautiful goddess Ikali out loud, and then beg her to give you strength?" ”
"But you're not an ...... of the Elemental Tower"
"A traitor? Hehe, that kind of place that hides filth and dirt, I have never considered myself one of them. The only one worth remembering is his mentor, Mr. Chris, but it is a pity that his noble soul is also tainted by faith. ”
Hearing his undisguised hatred of the Elemental Tower again, Mu Yan couldn't help but be silent. He'd always thought that the other party hated the Elemental Tower because of Grace - after all, that's what the mad lich said, and now it seemed like there was something else going on.
"Okay, teacher, I'll try."
Hearing this, Zaix's face softened slightly, and he nodded and left.
At the same time, Mu Yan also received a notice.
"Magic Array Detected, Type: Necromancy, Is the Elemental Passage Open?"
"Yes."
"The request has been allowed, and the element channel is open......
Mu Yan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
……
The element channel, which is equivalent to a modem connected to the magic net, is a dial-up Internet tool. Each mage's channel is unique, just like the IP address of a computer. After opening, the mage will have his own mana pool, and he can use the magic net by paying mana, and then control the surrounding elements to build spells through the magic net.
And the Legendary Realm, which makes every mage have in their hearts, can completely abandon the magic net and control the elements freely.
Therefore, it is also said that a legendary mage is equal to a god!
This also explains why the Elemental Tower has never been a legend so far - how can a servant who serves the gods and exchange faith for the gift of power outweigh his own source of power? Therefore, it is not surprising why for a long time, the lazy Mage Guild has always been able to overpower each other, and even most of the people who joined the Elemental Tower were forced away by them.
The two factions of players in the forum have been at odds with each other, and the most common sentence of the association faction is "This broken association is serious and will slaughter the gods to you in minutes, and the church that can't even handle housework well will not learn any magic." In response, the tower faction counterattacked, "The cost of your journey to the association is paid by the tower, what qualifications do you have to be blind?" ”
At this moment, other players have to sigh with emotion, "It is worthy of being the son of Villefort, and the style of painting is different from other professions when they quarrel." ”
……
Mu Yan's elemental passage had been open for more than two hours, during which Zaix had been sitting quietly outside and waiting, and it could be seen that he was also a little anxious.
Mu Yan, as the person concerned, was not in a hurry at all, in his field of vision, countless points of light of different colors continued to converge from a distance, slowly transforming his body and soul, and he wished that this feeling of being so comfortable that it made people moan a little longer.
In the nineteen years he had been lying in bed, he had never felt the presence of the flesh so clearly.
"Elemental Channel Opens."
The short chime made him wake up and hurriedly open the character panel.
“
Human male, Shamu, Rank 1
Identity: "Recorder"
Strength 5, Agility 5, Intelligence 12, Constitution 5, Resistance 7, Knowledge 20
(Free number of points can be assigned: 5)
Comprehensive strength evaluation: 1.1 (1 is a normal adult male)
Charm 8, Luck 1, Perception 10
Languages: Lingua franca (native) Dwarven (proficient) Elvish (erudite) ...... (Twenty-seven items remaining)
Health: 40/40 Mana: 120/120
Class: Mage (Level 1,41050/20 Upgradable!) )
……
”
In contrast, the main attributes have been slightly improved, especially the perception, and the 10-point perception is almost catching up with the little cat man of the orc. It's just this lucky ...... Why is it a little lower again!? If it weren't for the free allocation of points that couldn't be added to these three items, he would have wanted to add them all to Lucky.
In addition, his panel finally resembles a combat class - he used to look at screenshots sent by others.
Learning spells costs experience, so he can only hold back his excitement for the time being and keep the mage level at 1.
When he opened his eyes, the world was clear, and he could even feel his spirit as substance, and he could explore his surroundings to his heart's content.
Walking out of the meditation room with his sore-chested legs, Zayx was not in sight, and he was slightly disappointed.
There were two books on the table, one "Introduction to the Necromantic School" and one "The Complete Spells of the Zero Ring", and next to it was a note with the words "Find me in a month".
"Hmph, let me show you what it means to be a legendary scholar."
Mu Yan leaned comfortably on the sofa with the book in his hand and read it carefully.
