Chapter 26: The Road Ahead
"What? You're not kidding! After listening to O'Rewin's suggestion, Renault suddenly became excited. Why do you want me to learn martial arts, don't you think I'm not qualified to be a magician? ”
"I know, my talent is not good, but this is Master's magic, and besides, we ...... Aren't we friends? Renault's expression was filled with trepidation and unease, as well as a resentment of abandonment.
All it takes is a breeze to blow out the candle of hope.
O'Rewin waved his hand and motioned for Renault to be quiet.
"I didn't deny what you meant, you've been doing very well, and we didn't mean to abandon you, I'm just thinking about the way back for you, do you understand."
He sighed and shook his head helplessly, the time he spent with this child was still too short, and he hadn't had time to reverse the kind of inferiority complex that he had rooted in his heart, and the experience of being born in the wasteland had too much impact on this child.
He thought for a moment and put it another way: "Let me ask you a question, do you know what magic is?" What do you think should be the strongest magic? ”
Renault thought for a moment and said, "According to what you told me, magic is actually the qi flowing in the body, and harmonizing this qi with the magic in nature to produce all kinds of changes is the so-called magic. ”
"Words of the strongest magic...... I guess it's the magic you said that defeated the gods. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of O'Rewin's mouth, this kid really took the bait, and he pretended to ask deeply: "As you think, the strongest magic should be the 'god-destroying magic' created by the dragons at the beginning, and they relied on this to defeat the ancient gods, but in this case, should the 'dragon-destroying magic' used by humans be stronger if it can defeat the dragons?" ”
"This ......," Renault was momentarily speechless, "it seems to make sense." ”
"So in the fall of the gods and the hiding of the dragons, how to judge which of the god-based magic that has survived from the past, that is, those 'lost magic', and the magic of humans themselves?" Little by little, O'Rewin dragged Renault into a mental circle he had set for himself.
Without waiting for Renault to react, he threw out a second question: "Tell me again, what is a magician." ”
"Magician...... Harness the power of magic, fight with it, or do things that ordinary people can't...... Person? Renault's tone was already beginning to be uncertain.
"Well said! A magician, after all, is a human being, a person who harnesses unusual powers. Is there any rule that says that a magician can only use magic, and absolutely no other powers? O'Rewin spoke quickly.
"No...... bar. ”
"Did you say that a magician who uses other powers is no longer a magician?"
"It doesn't seem to be."
"Isn't it power other than magic?"
"yes."
"Isn't it stronger with these powers?"
"That's right!"
"I ask again, the only criterion for judging a magician is whether he knows magic, right."
"That's right."
"Have you forgotten your magic now?"
"How is that possible!"
"Isn't that the end of it!" O'Rewin slapped his face, "You still use magic, which means that you are still a magician, and let you learn martial arts, so that you can master more power, and if you master diversified powers, you will become stronger, so you will become a more powerful magician, so the advice we give is just to make you a more powerful magician, what, what?" ”
O'Rewin glared at him and put on a posture of hatred that iron is not made of steel. Renault was stunned by his set of logic, and could only nod blankly.
O'Rewin didn't intend to let him go, so he continued to flicker, his mouth was like a cannon: "Let's go back to the first question, magic is not the strongest, but magicians are strong and weak, right, what's the difference?" Magic! Magic is the watershed that distinguishes magicians, and how to cultivate magic power, enhance your physique, enhance your physique, and your magic will naturally become stronger, and as soon as your magic power is strong, your strength will also increase! ”
"Besides, if you practice martial arts, you can make up for your shortcomings in melee combat, and you can also broaden your combat methods, and more importantly, change your congenitally deficient physique, and it is possible to develop diversified tactics based on this in the future, so that you can become a magic master with strong comprehensive strength and survivability, so many benefits, you kid practice or not!"
Speaking of this last sentence, O'Rewin glared at him and bared his teeth, and almost said to Renault, "Wow, yes, yes." ”
Reynold's mind was completely controlled by O'Rewyn, and as soon as he asked, he subconsciously replied:
"I'll practice!"
"Isn't this enough, how good it is to promise early, it will take me half a day!" O'Rewin's expression was relieved, and the light on his body dimmed even more, and he was about to disappear into thin air.
There was not much time, and he only had time to hurriedly throw off another sentence, which was regarded as a farewell.
"Come on boy, I hope that when we return, you will have enough strength to admit yourself, let's see you in seven years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Orion's star spirit O'Rewin vanished, and the corresponding key also lost its luster at the same time, as if it had been thrown into the dust in a corner for decades.
Renault slowly injected magic into the key with luck, but naturally there was no response, and then looked at the same dim Ursa Major key, Renault's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of sourness.
It's like an old friend who has been with him for many years suddenly travels away, leaving no address, only saying that he will return.
"Jing", as if feeling Renault's sadness, suddenly bloomed with a shining streamer when the silver key hung at the end, as if to say to him gently: "Don't forget, you still have me by your side." ”
"Thank you." Renault said in a low voice, his tone extremely sincere, "Please take care of me for the rest of the year." ”
He looked up again and whispered softly into the silent night sky, "Please rest well, Uncle O'Rewin and Sister Carly." See you in seven years, let's say yes. ”
The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, and Renault was stunned.
"I really caused you trouble before, I probably know a little bit what the Star Spirit Wizard is, I swear, when you come back, I will allow myself to stand in front of you with my chest upright, and by then, we will no longer be partners, but family, okay?"
The starry sky in the distance seemed to flicker, and Renault would smile as well.
"Martial arts, it seems that there is a good candidate in front of you." Renault looked at the closed door, his eyes flashed, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
The magic is running out or something, and it's still terrifying.
This time, however, the boy had escaped the catastrophe and found his way forward, so he slept very soundly this night, and had a sweet dream, in which he and O'Rewyn were on the other side, and Callistos was on the other side, and they were as happy as a family of three.
So he didn't notice that under the reflection of the starlight, the bronze key he hung on his chest flashed and flashed.
