Lei Yang thought for a moment, and then asked the half-elf, "What is the Heaven and Earth Element?" ”

"Heaven and Earth Elemental?" Nan Shui's expression was a little confused, obviously puzzled why Lei Yang would ask such a well-known question, but then she thought that this Lei Yang brother was an adventurer from a foreign land, and he did not have the talent of a magician, so she was also relieved.

She patiently explained to Lei Yang, who had no knowledge of concepts such as magic and elements, "The elements of heaven and earth are actually the tiniest particles that make up this world, and almost everything in our Azure Continent is made up of elements of heaven and earth. ”

"The elements of heaven and earth have different attributes, and different elements can form different things, for example, the element of fire can form fire, the element of water can form water, and the elements can also form different things when they are mixed with each other, for example, the element of wood and the element of water can form trees."

"What did you mean by what you said before?" Lei Yang was a little puzzled, "Why do you say that magic power is just a form of the convergence of the elements of heaven and earth?" ”

Nan Shui smiled when he heard this: "Because just as the actual flame is formed by the convergence of the fire element, the magic of the fire attribute is actually formed by the convergence of the fire element, and the heaven and earth elements can converge to form many things, but when it gathers, there may be many different manifestations." ”

"For example, they are all fire elements, and the convergence of fire elements with each other may form a substantial flame, which may form the magic power of the fire attribute, and may also form the fighting energy of the fire attribute."

"So what's the difference between them? If it's just a different form of expression, shouldn't the fire attribute magic and the actual flame be the same in theory? Lei Yang quickly asked another question, looking like a student who asked the teacher for a question.

Nan Shui pressed his slender fingers against his smooth chin and pondered for a moment: "In fact, theoretically, it is indeed similar between these people, but flame is the form formed by the natural convergence of the fire element, and the magic and fighting spirit of the fire attribute are a manifestation of the fire element being absorbed into the human body and artificially processed by people. ”

Lei Yang vaguely felt that he understood something, but he felt that it seemed to be a little worse: "Why is there a difference between magic and fighting spirit?" ”

Nan Shui continued: "Everyone's talent is different, some people are born with the ability to perceive the fluctuations of the elements of heaven and earth, and such people can directly absorb the elements of heaven and earth into their bodies, and form the power closest to their essence according to their most natural fluctuations - this power we call magic, because magic is a simulation of the laws of the elements, so we can use magic to drive all kinds of elements well...... We can use all sorts of magic. ”

"But most people don't have this kind of talent, most people are born without perceiving the fluctuations of the elements of heaven and earth, and some of them are born completely insulated from the elements of heaven and earth, and this kind of people are actually born with no chance of cultivation."

"But it's just a minority." Although Lei Yang was not smart, judging from what he had seen and heard during this time, he felt that there were still the majority of people in Belial City who could possess magic and fighting spirit.

Nan Shui nodded affirmatively: "Just like people who are born with a clear perception of the elements of heaven and earth, there are only a very small number of people who are completely insulated from the elements of heaven and earth, and the vast majority of people are actually in between—they are affinity with the elements, but they cannot perceive them. ”

"If you can't perceive nature, you can't incorporate it into your body, and you can't simulate its laws to form magic, so unlike us magicians, this kind of person has to do ...... It's about getting close to the world. ”

"Close to the world?" Lei Yang was stunned, this time he didn't know how to understand this sentence at all.

Nan Shui noticed his sluggish expression and added to him intimately: "Because the elements of heaven and earth are objectively existing things after all, most of the things around us are actually the embodiment of the laws of the operation of the elements of heaven and earth, even if you can't perceive them at all, but you can always feel their existence." ”

"The flow of water is the violent fluctuation of the water element, and the burning of fire is the continuous flying of the fire element, in fact, if you deliberately get close to these things, you will find that there are almost everywhere around us there are traces of the movement of the elements of heaven and earth. The so-called closeness to the world means that although most people cannot perceive the essence of the elements, they can observe the concrete embodiment of the movement of the elements in life. If you are extremely familiar with these objective things, you will be able to understand the laws of the elements themselves. ”

"This kind of person cannot perceive the elements, but they have the elements close, when this kind of people are extremely familiar with the specific embodiment of the elements, although they cannot actively absorb the elements, they can introduce those elements that are close to them into the body, and compress them to form a new force...... Because such people cannot actively absorb the elements, but can only guide them properly, they cannot control the energy formed by the elements in their bodies well. It is precisely because of the uncontrollable reason that this energy is much more violent than the magic power possessed by us magicians, and if it is released to the human body, it usually manifests itself as a violently burning aura - this violent and powerful energy, we call it fighting energy. ”

Lei Yang scratched his head, and he didn't know if he understood, he thought about it and decided to confide in Nanshui about his distress: "But I don't have the talent of a magician, but the master asked me to perceive the flow of magic, isn't this embarrassing for me?" ”

After hearing this, Nan Shui shook his head, looked at Lei Yang seriously and said: "I think Brother Lei Yang, you still haven't understood, it's true that not everyone can do the things of perceiving the elements of heaven and earth, but the magic power is the same as the flames and water flows we see...... It is only a manifestation of the elements of heaven and earth. ”

"Brother Lei Yang, you can't perceive the elements of heaven and earth, but you can see the concrete embodiment of the elements between heaven and earth...... Then the magic that is also just as a form of expression, you can naturally perceive it. ”

Seeing that Lei Yang was still puzzled, Nan Shui thought about it and explained in a more simple and clear language: "Brother Lei Yang, you have thought about it like this...... The elements of heaven and earth are the most essential things that make up this world, and this kind of thing is extremely subtle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive it at all, it is an absolute and objective existence. ”

"If the elements operate according to certain laws, they will form different things—the natural movement of the elements will form all kinds of concrete things such as fire, flowing water, hurricanes, etc., if we magicians actively absorb them into the body, they will form magic, and if they are guided into the body by people and only slightly compressed, they will form a fighting spirit."

"The three things I am talking about here are just the embodiment of the laws of the operation of the elements, their existence is relative and subjective, but whether it is those specific things, or magic and fighting spirit, their essence is the same, they are actually just a manifestation of the operation of the elements."

……

After returning to the room, Lei Yang was still very distressed, Nan Shui's explanation was very clear, but he still didn't understand the essentials - he still didn't understand how to perceive magic.

This is really a very headache, because if you can't perceive the magic power, you will naturally not be able to enter the next step of the magic circle carving, and it is impossible to carve a successful magic circle completely.

Thinking like this, Lei Yang inadvertently knocked a wind-based magic stone to the ground.

The magic stones in the Azure Continent are basically artificially made by magicians who artificially instill magic power, and most of the materials used are glass or crystal with good elemental affinity, so most of the magic stones are extremely brittle and cannot withstand the slightest heavy impact.

Like the one that Lei Yang touched at the moment, it fell no more than half a meter high, but when it fell to the ground, it was shattered and shattered into cyan slag on the ground.

Lei Yang was shocked when he found out that he had broken a philosopher's stone, thinking that if this kind of waste of materials was discovered by the master, it was estimated that he would be reprimanded again.

He quickly leaned down to clean up the debris of the place, but no sooner had he leaned down than he felt a gust of wind blow towards him from the debris of the ground.

The wind blew the corners of his robe, and it was so strong that he could hardly open his eyes.

Lei Yang knew that this should be the result of the leakage of the wind attribute magic power in the Philosopher's Stone, but he didn't think much about it.

But he found that the wind that had been blowing towards him was really strong, as if there was an invisible energy constantly pushing him.

Wind ...... formed by wind attribute magic It's really like the real wind.

Such a thought came to Lei Yang's heart.

Why...... Must it just be like?

But then he was stunned, and suddenly he didn't know why he thought the two were just similar.

They are clearly ...... Isn't it all wind?

Obviously, the wind formed by magic is exactly the same as normal wind, both are shadowless and invisible, they all carry a force that comes from nowhere, and even the feeling that blows on people's faces is almost the same.

They...... Shouldn't it be the same?

"That's right...... Aren't they the same? Lei Yang said to himself in a daze.

Lei Yang remembered that he had been blown by the wind countless times since he was a child, and suddenly felt that he was actually extremely familiar with the wind.

Familiarize yourself with the sensation of it scraping on your face, and the regularity of its flow.

Lei Yang's eyes suddenly widened, looked at the glass slag that was all over the ground, and then ......

I found that black lines gradually appeared out of thin air in front of my eyes, and these lines were constantly fluctuating in the direction of the wind.

It turns out that I can really see it......

It turns out that it's really all the same.

Whether it is magic or the various physical forms formed by the convergence of the elements of heaven and earth, they are all the same, and they can feel the flow of the wind...... Naturally, you can also feel the flow of wind attribute magic.

Nanshui said that if people are extremely familiar with objectively existing things, they can smoothly understand all the attributes of things.

Lei Yang felt that in fact, he was very familiar with all these things around him.

The wind, the water, the mountains, all of these things are so familiar to me.

……

Lei Yang struggled to stand in front of the monster, and the monster watched him think with interest, as if to see what this strange adventurer could come up with.

Lei Yang thought about it for a long time, remembering his experience of learning art in the magic supply store some time ago, and how he grew from a teenager who didn't even understand the concept of magic to a magic array carver today.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the monster in front of him and found that the black qi on its body was flowing like ripples.

I can see the ripples...... It's thanks to the previous learning experience.

After thinking about this, Lei Yang looked elsewhere and found that a cauldron was burning in the middle of the camp, the flames under the cauldron were constantly burning, and the soup in the cauldron was boiling violently.

The curtain of the tent had been lifted by Lei Yang, so at any time there would be wind mixed with raindrops blowing from outside, blowing the whole tent with cold wind and rain.

A line appeared in Lei Yang's sight, this line originated from a harsh cold wind that cut his face like a blade, and spread to Lei Yang's eyes from outside the tent, and kept fluctuating back and forth.

And with the advent of this line......

More similar black lines gradually appeared in Lei Yang's sight, these lines came from many different places, some from the fire burning under the cauldron, some from a tiny raindrop floating in the tent, and they fluctuated in different patterns, some gentle and slow, some manic and violent.

But at this moment, they all formed similar black lines, which fell in Lei Yang's eyes!

After a while, Lei Yang found that his eyes were already covered with these black lines!

Raindrops, cold winds, and burning flames were all concrete things formed when the elements of heaven and earth were running—a glimmer of enlightenment arose in Lei Yang's heart.

They are practically the same as the essence of magic, so you can observe their fluctuating lines just as you would observe them.

What's next?

Oh, Nanshui said...... After being familiar with the laws of the movement of the elements between heaven and earth, then the next step should be to guide the elements to actively enter the body.

Last time, when he was carving the magic array, he seemed to have inadvertently almost introduced the element into his body, but in the end, he was interrupted by those guys from the Dragon Slayer Society.

But at this moment, it is obvious that he can't carve a magic circle on the spot to recreate the scene of that day - on the one hand, this kind of thing is obviously unavoidable, and on the other hand, the monster in front of him should not give him this opportunity......

Then cut it off.

To be honest, Lei Yang himself didn't know why such a thought was born in his mind, but the moment this thought was born, Lei Yang subconsciously agreed with this approach.

He trusts the knife in his hand and he trusts himself when he wields it.

So he lifted the long knife in his hand and slashed at the countless black lines in front of him.

The knife sliced through the air, cutting through countless black lines.

The black line broke silently, and Lei Yang's knife looked like it was inexplicably slashing at the air but didn't hit anything.

But just after this slash, the air in the entire camp became agitated!

All the air seemed to be frantically rushing towards the knife-wielding boy at this moment, but the air inside the tent did not become thinner.

It was as if it was not the air itself that was rushing to Lei Yang, but something invisible in the air!

The monster suddenly felt a fierce burning aura appear on Lei Yang's Zhou.

And weirdly...... This is really just the feeling of it, because the Lei Yang in its sight is still the same as just now, there is no gorgeous color on his body, and there is no flame that keeps burning.

But for no reason, it felt that the adventurer in front of it was covered with arrogance...... Covered with some kind of colorless and formless arrogance!

This kind of arrogance was burning wildly all over Lei Yang's body, it was like an inextinguishable fire, even if raindrops kept flying in and falling on his body outside the tent, the arrogance did not have the slightest intention of stopping the burning.

With the swing of the knife, the monster felt like it had an extra knife in front of its eyes.

The adventurer in front of him was turned into a knife.

If the previous adventurer only made the monster feel that the long knife in his hand was extremely sharp, now this adventurer is to make the monster feel that his whole body is full of unparalleled sharpness.

It's as if it's not a person standing in front of you, but a knife.

The monster was stunned, not knowing how to speak.

At this moment, it is inconvenient to say too much because of its identity as a villain, if it meets this adventurer on weekdays, it will definitely scratch its ears and cheeks for a while, and finally clap its hands and sigh: "What a sharp sword!" ”
