Chapter 159: Stone Carving

Ari and Carol glanced at each other and walked together to the house Felix had spoken of.

Compared to the courtyard, the space in the house is not large, and it is even a little crowded because of the large and small stone carvings placed on it.

"What beautiful sculptures, are these really carved in stone?" As soon as she entered the house, Carol let out an exclamation, rushed in and touched left and right, and finally hugged a tiger-shaped monster stone sculpture and couldn't put it down.

"You won't think they're pretty. Ari looked at the beautiful stone sculptures in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Why?" said Carol, holding the Flame Tiger who was about to pounce, looking at Ari suspiciously.

"Are you going to choose this stone sculpture now?" said Ari, instead of answering her question.

"yes, this Flame Tiger is so cute!" Carol nodded vigorously.

Ari shook his head and said, "Large stone carvings are not the right choice. ”

"Why?"

"Large stone carvings are laborious and time-consuming, and if you want to earn a little more credits, it's better to give up. ”

As she spoke, Ari looked around, searching for a suitable target. Because the credits are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, iResearch aims for the smaller type.

There are more than a dozen stone carvings in this room, the largest of which is taller than the average adult, with lion-shaped and tiger-shaped shapes. The small ones are no bigger than a fist, but if you look closely, the scales on the stone carvings are clearly visible.

Soon, he crouched down in front of the bird-shaped stone sculpture placed in the corner and looked at it intently.

"It's kind of interesting. Ari stroked the lines of the stone carving with his palm, a look of admiration.

He gently picked up the stone sculpture in front of him, but suddenly he had the illusion that the fist-sized chick in front of him seemed to open its eyes.

"Is this the bird you're going to carve?" Carol asked curiously, seeing that Ari seemed to have chosen a target.

"Hmm. Ari nodded, glanced at her, and reminded, "You should choose a small target too." ”

"Okay. Carol glanced at the vivid Flame Tiger, reluctantly turned her head to re-select her target, and soon she chose a bulging stone sculpture of a monster that looked like a watermelon.

The two returned to the courtyard with the stone carvings they had chosen, and Felix glanced at the stone carvings they had chosen, and nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at the stone carving, Felix sighed with emotion: "According to historical records, before human beings invented writing, stone carving has existed as a means of inheriting civilization. People usually express their thoughts and wishes through stone carvings, showing the strongest emotions in their hearts. So remember that the essence of stone carving is in the spirit, not in the form. ”

"Although the stone carving is full of artistic sense, it is not the reason why we magicians need to learn from him, right? Ari asked, confused.

"Beginners naturally need to learn the form first. Felix glanced at him and explained, "You are all teenagers with a certain magical talent, and your mental power is higher than that of ordinary people.

There is essentially no difference between carving a stone sculpture and unleashing magic. The magician uses spell gestures to unleash the magic you want to unleash.

The engraver, on the other hand, uses his hands to visualize the ideas in your mind. Long-term exercise can improve hand-brain coordination, which is reflected in the specific situation, that is, the magic will be released faster than others. ”

Ari thought for a moment and said, "Saying that those theories are useless, that they can't carve is that they won't, and it won't be easier because we have a higher mental power." ”

"You don't have to do it all, you just need to get the embryos. For the sake of you being the first to complete the task, I will show you how to carve a stone carving. ”

As he spoke, Felix slapped a stone slab, and the slab suddenly split apart, splitting into dozens of stones of equal size. He picked up a stone and glanced at it casually, and the carving knife in his hand suddenly moved.

Felix's movements are not fast, but the speed at which the stone carvings are formed is still dazzling due to the simplicity and fluidity of the movements. In a few moments, a nimble chick appeared in his hand.

Felix threw the stone carving to Ari and asked expectantly, "How much do you remember about the technique you just demonstrated?" ”

Ari recalled, and every movement of Felix suddenly came to mind. Just when he was about to memorize all the answers, he was suddenly stunned.

The movements are so slow, it's not difficult to remember, so why did Felix ask again?

This is not the answer he wants to hear!

So, there is only one truth! After pondering for a moment, Ari said calmly, "I forgot everything. ”

With that, Ari looked at Felix, waiting for an appreciative look. In the past, there was Zhang Wuji, and today there is him Airi!

Did you forget about it? Did you just show it and didn't remember it at all? Felix looked at Ari in a daze, speechless for a while.

"Teacher, then I'll get started!" Ari watched Felix speak, thinking he was waiting for him to show him, so he picked up a stone from the ground and looked at it carefully.

After seeing the lines of the stones, Ari began to wave the carving knife in his hand. It wasn't until the knife sliced into the stone that Ari realized the difficulty.

Because the stone is hard, the palm-length carving knife does not use force at all. Even if Eri's strange power is amazing, he can't grasp the strength for a while.

As soon as the imaginary blade passed, the picture of stone chips flying did not appear. What is extremely easy in the mind is a hundred times more difficult in reality.

After the blade sliced into the stone, it suddenly emitted a violent friction spark, and Ari forcibly cut off a piece of scrap with his strange force, and the resulting flat surface was uneven, not as simple and elegant as Felix had shown.

Although Ari felt ugly, he was secretly amazed in Felix's eyes. Being able to hold a stone in one hand and chop with a knife in the other, this strength is probably not weaker than that of a mid-level samurai.

What surprised Felix the most was Eri's hand movements. From his professional point of view, Aeri's cutting angle is very tricky, if it is not for the holding of the stone, it is not easy to borrow, I am afraid that it will not take much time to complete the embryo.

"You've forgotten?" Felix asked, looking at Ari's movements, disbelieving.

Ari nodded in affirmation, "yes, I forgot about it." ”

Seeing Felix's puzzled gaze, Ariel looked at him puzzled: "Don't you want to tell me that the technique is not important, the key is the understanding of it?"

Felix was stunned, and suddenly grinned, "That's what I meant." ”
