Chapter Twenty-Eight: Magic

"What is the nature of elemental magic?"

Parina's soft voice added some life to the empty meditation room.

"Using psychic and magical powers, controlling the elements through spells to create destructive power, it can also be considered that elemental magic is magic that is performed with the help of natural forces."

Mukai's answer was concise and precise, satisfying the sorceress.

"It seems that you worked hard last night, and the practice of magic, in addition to talent, diligence is also very important, you have to keep this in mind."

"I made a note of it, teacher."

Parina nodded, and continued: "In ancient times, the first to master magic was the giants, after the end of the age of giants, the elves got the most inheritance, and the magic of our humans was also taught by the elves, and the elf ruins on the island are the relics left over from that era, and they are the schools founded by the elves to teach human magic, although a lot of things happened later, but history cannot be changed." ”

In this history, Mu Kai knew very well that after the giants perished in the wrath of the gods, the elves who once managed the continent for the giants became the rulers of the continent as a matter of course, but the orcs were unwilling to submit to the elves, so they started a war.

The elves first asked the dwarves for help, but the dwarves were not optimistic about the weak elves, but instead fell to the orcs, and the elves turned to the winged people for help, and the winged people chose to escape from the world.

In the end, the humans offered to form an alliance with the elves in exchange for the opportunity to learn magic.

At that time, the human beings were the weakest and lowest of all the races, and lived miserably at the bottom like slaves, but the elves had no choice but to agree to the conditions of the human race.

The elves established a magic school on Talking Island, now known as the Elven Ruins, and began to teach magic to humans.

At this point, mankind has finally stepped into the temple of magic.

Humans who had mastered magic joined forces with the elves, and soon defeated the orcs, and the elves retained their dominance, but the elves were weakened after a long war, and the increasingly powerful humans gradually showed their ambitions, so the humans tore up the covenant and pulled the elves from the throne of the rulers.

Nowadays, human beings are reluctant to mention this history, and they feel that it is not honorable, even for a magician like Parina, it is a bit secretive to talk about it.

"Teacher, I also know this history, it is difficult to say who is wrong, and besides, history is definitely not just a simple right and wrong. With the arrogance of the elves, under their rule, the life of mankind may not be easy, and the power between the ruler and the ruled is in an inverted state, and the outbreak of war is the inevitable result. ”

Mu Kai believes that it has passed, no matter whether it is right or wrong, there is no need to hold on, no matter what, now, human beings are the hegemon of the continent.

The female magician was a little surprised, such words are not like a teenager can speak, without years of precipitation, without a broad horizon, how can she have such an understanding of history?

However, the magician did not delve into this issue, and continued: "The magic that humans learn from the elves is divided into three systems, the mages of the temple use light magic, which is used to heal and strengthen, and the ivory tower, as a sacred place for magicians, mainly studies elemental magic and summoning magic. In addition to these three systems, there is also the existence of black magic, black magic has been an absolute taboo for a long time, but with the collapse of the Elmoadin Empire, the taboo has been slowly broken, and I will tell you about this later. ”

Black magic is researched by humans from the classics left by giants, and is not taught to humans by elves, on the contrary, some of the elves have become the current dark elves because they have learned black magic from humans.

"The use of magic requires mental power, magic power, and spells to be successful, so let's start with some simple spells and meditation techniques."

As she spoke, Parina took out a spellbook that she had prepared a long time ago, it was a basic textbook from the Anhebent School of Magic, it was a very old version, and it looked very old.

Turning the first page, Mu Kai saw that the blank space of the page was full of Juanxiu's notes, and the inside of the title page had Parina's signature, so he understood that this magic book was the textbook that Parina had used when she was a magic apprentice.

After thousands of years of development, the theory of magic is unlikely to change, and those notes are the precious things.

Spreading out the book, Parina began to teach Mukai about incantations and how to pronounce them.

The spell is not the language of a certain race, but a symbol created by the giants through research that can communicate and control the elements, and has magical powers.

The incantations are composed of zigzag line segments, which are extremely complex and cumbersome, and the vocalizations are also very awkward, after all, the vocal cords of humans are different from those of giants, just like the vocal cords of sheep, but they have to make the sound of a bird.

Although the spell is difficult to master, but with the assistance of the microcosm, Mu Kai's learning efficiency is amazingly high, and those dizzying and strange words can be scanned directly in his own spiritual world, without the slightest error.

When Parina taught him to speak, he knew every subtle vibration of his vocal cords, and then imitated it a few more times, and he could basically master the vocal skills of a syllable.

Wind Strike, the first magic that almost all magic apprentices come into contact with, is the easiest entry-level magic to master, and comparatively, it also has the simplest spells, with only a dozen or so spells.

Parina had thought that it would take two or three lessons for Mukai to learn those spells, but in less than two hours, he could finish the spell of Storm Strike relatively standardly.

The initial stage of learning mantras is the most difficult, just like learning a language, you don't know anything at the beginning, and as the time of contact becomes longer, the vocabulary continues to accumulate, and the later it will become, the easier it will be.

Mu Kai was the first time he came into contact with those spells, and he was able to master a complete spell in such a short period of time, which was rare in the ivory tower where genius mages gathered.

Of course, Mu Kai only has a spell, and without magic, he can't unleash the power contained in the spell.

Seeing that there was still a lot of time left, Parina explained some more methods of meditation.

Meditation is a cultivation technique unique to magicians, which can accumulate magic power through deep meditation and exercise mental power and perception ability.

Before leaving, Parina handed the magic book to Mukai and told him to practice meditation more when he returned.

Without the support of magic, no matter how good the talent is, it is just a castle in the air.
