Chapter 7: Mana Overdraft x Confidence or Superiority x Casting with Bare Hands
"Is that you?"
The mage mentor asked in dismay, but received no response. She frowned www.biquge.info walked around the crowd to Si Xiao's side, and pulled him up by the collar.
Si Xiao didn't have any thoughts about being treated so roughly by a woman at this time. At this moment, he only felt that he couldn't exert any strength in his whole body, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his body that was itchy and painful, and his eyes were blackened for a while, his ears were buzzing, and he was on the verge of dizziness. All his senses were opened to the maximum, although the pain perception was only 30 percent, but the other senses were as high as 80 percent, and the degree of physical discomfort at this time was at least half of the normal level.
Fortunately, it was only half, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. He heard the mage mentor's question just now, but as soon as he could open his mouth, a burst of fishy sweetness surged up his throat. He swallowed a mouthful of blood with difficulty, and raised a smile as if nothing happened: "I said, I have faith, right?" ”
"You ......" The mage tutor's brows furrowed even deeper, she chanted a spell, and the gentle mana enveloped Si Xiao's whole body, and she was even more surprised after probing.
"Is it really a novice mage who hasn't learned a skill?" She muttered to herself.
Si Xiao also had some strength after getting used to it for a while, and stood up staggering with his hands on the ground, after all, it was the body of data, not in reality, and his recovery ability was much stronger. He bowed slightly to the mage instructor and turned to leave...... As soon as his legs went limp, he fell to his knees.
…… Shame on you.
Si Xiao helped the forehead.
……
"What's the matter with that mage?" The players who witnessed the whole thing were forced by the mage mentor to dare not talk about it, but they still whispered it.
"I don't know...... I think he seems to have untied the spell himself. ”
"How is that possible! People are tied up, how to dig out the staff? And no chanting was heard. ”
"yes, and ...... Solve a spell, even if it's a more advanced spell, at most it's unsuccessful, and I haven't heard that you can make yourself vomit blood. ”
"Don't tell me, he didn't use a staff, but his hands cramped like all of a sudden, and the rope that bound him was gone, and then he spat blood and fell to the ground. It's a fast process, and if I hadn't been standing next to him, I wouldn't have seen it. ”
"Sounds high-end...... If I could do the same, wouldn't I need a staff in the future? ”
"No kidding, you can't even use a fireball spell without a staff. Maybe it's an NPC, or he'll vomit blood. ”
"Makes sense......"
Others have the wrong focus.
"Ahhh A girl lowered her voice and screamed at the girl next to her.
"Yes, yes! And at first glance, it is pure natural and completely unprocessed! Hurry up and take a picture and post it on the forum! ”
"What kind of NPC, this group of men is really visionless, how can the pinched faces of NPCs be so natural as real people."
"Don't worry about the snapshot and go back to show off to your classmates that they don't play games, you missed such a good-looking beautiful man!"
The voices of these people were very small, even the nearest players around them couldn't hear them, but they were heard clearly by Si Xiao. With a shake of his hand, he quickly pulled up the hood that had just fallen and slipped down.
Just kidding, although he knew that he would become famous sooner or later, and it wouldn't be too long, he didn't think about becoming famous because of such a situation and such a reason - face. Although no one knows that he is a piercing dawn now, but if it is turned out by an acquaintance in the future, it is a proper black history, and it will be laughed at for a lifetime!
Seeing this scene, the mage mentor shook his head with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, this time he reached out and helped Si Xiao up, glanced at the player lightly and successfully silenced them, and then handed Si Xiao to the stone that followed him.
"Keep up." As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the training camp.
"Oh, good." The stone scratched his head, grabbed Si Xiao and carried it on his shoulder, and followed.
Si Xiao was unprepared for an impact, and couldn't help coughing up another mouthful of blood,
"Hey! Feed! This big brother! Are you okay! ”
"It's fine." Si Xiao smiled bitterly, "You try your best to walk steadily, otherwise I may not be able to hold on to where I want to go." ”
……
"Your situation this time is that your mana is overdrawn." In a room of the training camp, Si Xiao, who had been treated by the priest mentor, sat opposite the mage mentor.
During the period of recovery from treatment, Si Xiao had already pieced together the situation of the stone from the words of the people around him. He didn't have much idea about the tasks he might have, knowing that these mentors looked at the stone so closely, even if he had any ideas, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve them, and he would find disgust.
The only thing that made him pay great attention to it was - "Don't look at Shi Sheng's so tall and strong, in fact, he only turned ten years old more than a month ago, so he will call you big brother." These were the words of the pastor's mentor when he had doubts about the title of "big brother."
…… This is not something that can be described as fast development, is it? If he hadn't known that there were only five races in Second Life, Si Xiao would have felt that he had some kind of strange bloodline.
It's a bit far...... Let's get back to business.
"Mana overdraft?" Si Xiao asked, this is a word that I have not seen on the official website or in the summary of any of the closed beta players.
"That's right. In the case of a mage's lack of mana, or in the case of a low rank, the success rate of forcibly casting spells beyond the limits of one's ability is very low. However, if it is successful, it can easily lead to a situation of mana overdraft. ”
"Then I'm ......"
"You're both." The mage mentor's stern gaze swept over, "The consequences of mana overdraft are just like you just did, the mana in your whole body is forcibly drained, and it will cause damage to your spirit. Mages are generally physically weak, which can have a serious impact on their foundations. If it weren't for your good innate conditions, and if you only used a low-level spell, you wouldn't be sitting here right now. ”
"Thanks to the help of the mentors." Si Xiao knew very well that if there was no mage mentor to pick him up and the priest mentor to heal him, purely relying on his own recovery speed, there would be no accurate score. No matter how digitized his body is, he is just one level after all.
However, he doesn't regret the impulse just now, not to mention that there is no actual damage now, even if something really happens, it's just a big deal to delete the number and wait for thirty days to come again. In contrast, being able to test the success of freehand spells is definitely much more important than that.
"We don't need your thanks." In the absence of others, the mage master retracted his gentle countenance, and continued expressionlessly, "I just need you to do one thing for me. ”
"Please." Si Xiao's expression became serious. Not to mention whether it is a task or not, depending on the help he has just received, no matter how difficult it is, he will do it.
Si Xiao's decisive answer softened the mage tutor's expression a little, and she shook her head: "It's still too early, you just need to remember this matter and come back to me after level ten." ”
"After level ten?" Si Xiao raised an eyebrow on the side, "Listening to what you said, it doesn't seem easy for you to ask me to do." Why do you think I have what it takes to do this? ”
The mage mentor looked at him deeply: "Because I have found that whether it is when you show me that you are capable of casting spells with your bare hands, or when you are rashly using spells beyond your ability, or when you are seriously injured and dying, you always seem to be so calm. I thought it was the arrogance of young people, but when you successfully cast that spell, I felt that maybe you were justified in your confidence. ”
'Ah Xiao~ You guy, you are born with a disgusting sense of superiority, as if no one or anything in front of you can shake you in the slightest. Oops, people really don't like this feeling~'
"You give me the feeling that I was once a strong man, even though I am very weak now, but as long as I give you time, I can go all the way up and rush to the peak that no one imagined."
So, I always want to see you fail, to see you fall from that peak, to see how you react when your superiority, your self-confidence is crushed. ’
Si Xiao was dumbfounded, someone had actually said something similar to him, but an NPC who had just been in contact with him a few times could actually evaluate him so accurately, which was something he had never thought about.
The Master Master continued, "Let's not talk about these ethereal feelings, let's talk about reality. The spell you've just successfully cast is Unbinding (Elementary), which is used to remove some low-level control spells. Although it is only a beginner spell, it has been improved by speeding up the gesture and canceling the chanting, and it is difficult for even a first-order mage to successfully perform it without many practices. The fact that you were able to perform successfully in such conditions is not only luck, but also proves that you are very talented. ”
"However, in the future, it is still necessary to be aware that casting spells with bare hands is very dangerous, and it is easy to be attacked by spells. This is why most new mages choose the staff as a weapon, the staff has the effect of channeling mana, and if the spell is beyond its limit, then it will fail to cast the spell without causing people to be harmed. You should be careful in the future, unless you have to, do not force spells beyond your ability, otherwise there may be serious consequences. I know you adventurers are not afraid of death, but there are so many things that are far more terrible than death for a mage. ”
Si Xiao listened quietly, these were all things he had never heard of in various summaries, and he wanted to know how important the experience of these high-level NPCs was for a novice. After silently digesting for a few seconds, Si Xiao suddenly raised his head, and the meaning of these words combined was......
"I see your ability and determination, and now you can learn from me to cast spells with your bare hands." The Mage Mentor smiled.
