Chapter 11: Create Your Own Magic
"Well, I accept your commission, from now until I reach Solancia City, I will be responsible for your safety, then, I hope we have a good cooperation......"
While saying this, Zhu Lin also silently clicked the [Yes] option in the taskbar to ask whether to accept the task.
Judging from the conversation just now, Safili is probably not lying, so the situation she encountered this time is that she was targeted by a medium-sized chamber of commerce, anyway, Zhu Lin recalled it carefully in his mind, and he couldn't think of the memory of the bellflower chamber of commerce, as a magician who once came out of the Pan-Human Alliance, if it was really a famous big chamber of commerce in the city under the Pan-Human Alliance, he couldn't be completely ignorant.
If it's just an ordinary medium-sized chamber of commerce, then it may indeed be a behemoth that ordinary people can't afford to mess with, after all, they are rich enough...... No matter in any world, if you are rich enough, you are a real uncle, and everyone will give you some face.
But precisely because they are only rich...... That's why Zhu Lin was completely relieved.
If Safili's identity is a young lady of a noble family, this time the task will involve disputes between nobles, then Zhu Lin will turn his head and leave, at any time, a powerful opponent is definitely much more difficult to deal with than a rich opponent, no matter how down-and-out the nobles are, they are all upper-class figures, and businessmen no matter how rich they are...... He's just a civilian.
In terms of the noble status of magicians in human society, whether it is strength or power, it is not something that civilians can fight against, Zhu Lin is sure that he will definitely not be able to provoke a nobleman at present, but he is not afraid of civilians, I have to say that the identity of a magician is really easy to use.
As for the possible threats, a basic common sense on the continent at present, unless it was a time when the development of the combat profession was flourishing 1,200 years ago, under the current situation where the combat profession was greatly withered and the general average combat effectiveness was only revolving at the HR2 level, only another magician could accurately threaten a real magician.
Although Zhu Lin believes that his strength is almost at the bottom level among magicians, but normally speaking, unless it is a very large chamber of commerce, he will definitely not be able to hire a magician to help him be a thug, and even if he really has, it is at most a rookie at the HR1 to HR2 level.
Although Zhu Lin himself only has the level of HR2, with his talent bonus, there is basically no one to threaten him within the HR2 level, as for the level of HR3...... With this strength, you can directly register with the Magician Association under the Pan-Human Alliance, and you can go to the system to serve at any time, how can you go to a chamber of commerce to be a thug so cheap?
Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really encounter such a meningitis attack, you don't want to be a thug for others with a good future, Zhu Lin is not a vegetarian, equipment plus treasures and system talent bonuses, and he has enough strength to do it with all his might, who wins and who loses is really not certain, and even if he really can't beat it, he will always be able to run......
As for encountering a mage with HR4 strength, although it is certain to die, it is absolutely impossible unless God drinks high, it is not in Zhu Lin's budget at the beginning, and there are more than 100 magicians in the whole continent who have reached the HR4 level, all of them are characters with heads and faces, and they can really bump into a big guy of this level, what else can they say except to sigh that their faces are black?
Therefore, since there will definitely not be any particularly big threat, coupled with the wealth and danger, it is not a big deal to fight for talent points and task rewards.
Zhu Lin was willing to help, of course, Safili immediately looked overjoyed, to be honest, she didn't have any expectations for this, but she got Zhu Lin's help again and again, and in an instant, this magician, who should have been extremely noble, became not so mysterious and unapproachable in her eyes.
"Thank you for your generous help, I promise, as long as you can protect me to Solancia City, I will definitely pay you enough!"
After saying this, Safili also unconsciously glanced at the three dead guards, and there was a trace of unbearability in her eyes, she wanted to dig a pit on the spot to let them enter the ground, but she was afraid that this would delay time and make Zhu Lin dissatisfied, so she hesitated for a few seconds and didn't know what to do.
And Zhu Lin, who noticed her reaction, also smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, there was an extra dark brown wooden staff in his hand.
This staff looks much more rustic than the Flame Soul, the color is gray and inconspicuous, not to mention, the shape is also like a dead branch that has been broken off from somewhere, if it weren't for the staff grip inlaid with an earthy yellow hexagonal gem, I'm afraid that no one would pick it up if it was thrown directly on the ground.
This is the reward that Zhu Lin got after clearing the fifth layer of the Tower of Battles for the second time, the quality of the staff itself is not good, the effect is to be able to speed up the release of earth magic to a certain extent and slightly increase the power, the only additional ability that is still useful is to increase the maximum influence range of earth magic, but the maximum can only be increased by one-tenth, making this staff completely exploded by the soul of fury in any way.
But no matter what, it is better than casting spells empty-handed, the soul of the flame can only increase the power of fire magic, and the magic of other attributes, it is not too shabby to look at it with a staff in his hand, so Zhu Lin left this staff and threw it into the space coat of arms to cushion the bottom of the box.
Just like now, while Zhu Lin pretended to wave the staff in his hand, he silently recited a few magic bytes...... Although with his current strength, he can release this magic in his hand completely empty-handed, but this is not a battle, it is not a few seconds, Zhu Lin doesn't mind letting his behavior look more like a magician.
In the next second, the ground under the three men's corpses began to gradually soften, changing from hard soil to mud like a swamp, swallowing the three corpses little by little, and after the three corpses were completely engulfed, at the place where the corpses disappeared, three small dirt bags slowly raised, although it was indeed simple and could not be in the simple grave, it was better than directly exposing the corpses to the wilderness.
Looking at Safiri's expression beside her, sure enough, the girl was shocked by the magical scene in front of her again, in this regard, Zhu Lin seemed to have done a trivial thing, and after putting away the staff in his hand, he calmly reached out and patted the girl's shoulder.
"Let's go, it's the rainy season soon, we have to be faster......"
Safili was slightly stunned and then came back to her senses, she first quickly picked a few wild flowers from under the tree not far away and placed them on the three simple graves, and then quickly caught up with Zhu Lin's footsteps.
"Mr. Outlander, you're really good, I don't know if I haven't studied magic, but you must be a very powerful magician, right?"
“…… This"
Faced with this question, Zhu Lin instantly didn't know how to answer, to be honest, his current strength level is definitely among the best in the HR2 level, mages of the same level do not have as many treasure bonuses and system plug-ins as him, even if he encounters a mage of HR3 level, he has the confidence to fight with him, but if it is higher, the problem is a bit big.
The most critical point is that the amount of magic in Zhu Lin's hands is too scarce.
After all, the original owner of this body was only a mage of the HR2 level, and all the magic that remained in his memory was at the level of one or two stars, occasionally interspersed with about four or five three-star magic, and there was nothing else.
Relying on these magics, even if you master all of them and practice them to perfection, you can only improve your strength to the level of HR3 at most, and you can only be regarded as stepping into the threshold of HR3, and if you want to go up, it will be extremely difficult.
And this system on his body looks like a half-finished product, not to mention that only two or three functions have been unlocked, and among the remaining unlocked functions, he has not found anything like a "skill tree", that is, if he wants to learn new magic, then he really has to rely on himself to figure it out.
Regarding this, Zhu Lin naturally has already considered it early on, the simplest and most direct way, as long as the strength reaches the level of HR3, go to the magician association under the pan-human alliance to register, and then as long as the popularity is not too bad, there is a chance to learn high-level magic, which is also the most common destination of wild mages from civilian backgrounds.
However, this method is tantamount to tying himself to the Magician Association, and his freedom of action will be greatly limited, Zhu Lin wants to collect all kinds of treasures, and it is indispensable to run around the continent, but he doesn't have so much effort to be a 9-to-5 office worker.
So the easiest way to deduct this is only one more whimsical method.
The so-called high-level magic is nothing more than the creation of the predecessors on the basis of nothing, since the predecessors were able to create their own magic...... Why can't we do it ourselves?
To be honest, this idea is really a bit of a bit of a mystery in the sky, after all, those predecessors who created their own magic were all archmages or pedantic celestials who had made outstanding contributions in the magic world, and they wanted to create their own magic with an ordinary inferior mage? It's a bit whimsical.
But Zhu Lin felt that this was not an impassable road, if you want to create your own magic, the two most important things that are indispensable are imagination, one is imagination, which is not a big problem, after all, it is a person who has passed through once, a person who has lived through the era of the information explosion, and when it comes to imagination, it is much stronger than the indigenous people of the mainland who are closed to information.
The second key thing is the powerful magic control, self-created magic is not a self-created dish, you don't eat it with a shovel, if this thing is not careful, the uncontrollable magic may not be able to fight people back in minutes.
Regarding this, it's not that Zhu Lin boasts, the powerful micro-manipulation experience in his previous life and the system plug-in bonus after the crossing, just compared to the control of magic power, Zhu Lin is confident that it is enough to rank at the first-class level in this world.
Even about this, Zhu Lin has been calculating and researching for a long time, and there are some good results, although the current results are only a little basic correction and transformation on the existing magic, and there is still a considerable distance from the real self-created magic, but it is definitely a good start.
Thinking of this, Zhu Lin also lowered his head and raised his right hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger and middle finger together and rubbed it gently, and in an instant, a little flickering light flashed away at his fingertips.
(I've already had enough ideas and several trials, so let's just find a chance to give it a try!) )……
