Chapter Seventy-Five: The Promotion Process of the Magic Apprentice
Carl didn't hold Lucy's hand in the end, not because he felt that he would lose Lucy's respect, but because his relationship with Lucy wasn't there. Flirting with girls is also about skills and demeanor, you can flirt and tease, but you must pay attention to good proportion, you must not give people the impression of being anxious and obscene, and now this distance is just right.
"Little Lucy, which school does the magic inheritance you have obtained belong to?" Since you are a teacher, you must have the appearance of a teacher, Carl restrained his joking demeanor and asked little Lucy with a straight face.
"Seems to be the Elemental School!"
Little Lucy thought about it seriously and recalled: "In the dream, they all called me Lily, saying that I was the son of the red dragon, a natural flame master, and also taught me a meditation method called 'elemental rhythm', and I also wrote it down. ”
Little Lucy reminisced earnestly, and tried to describe to Carl how she felt when she entered a meditative state.
“...... It was a strange feeling, it was like there was a band playing, everything around me was constantly shaking, and I was playing around like I was on a string......"
“...... All around are tiny points of light, red, white, blue, yellow, all there, like stars and fireflies, constantly flashing, flying everywhere, but much denser than stars and fireflies, everywhere there are ......"
In fact, little Lucy's language is a bit poor and can't fully describe how she feels when she meditates.
In her meditative state, the world is an endless sea of splendid, bright, numerous, dense points of light. Endless points of light flickered and vibrate, rising and falling like a tide, rising and falling like a tide.
And her spirit is like a marble on a spring, constantly being bounced around, constantly capturing one element after another in the endless bounce - no, it can't even be called capture, her spirit is also a point in this endless sea of light, just by random collision, every time she touches a point of light, she absorbs a point and grows a point.
"I understand, don't worry, this is the meditation method of 'Elemental Rhythm' that is taking you to the transformation of your spiritual power!"
After all, Carl has adult knowledge and experience, although he is not a magician now, but he has never eaten pork, and he has never seen a pig run!
"In the system of the Ancient Magic Empire, there are three apprenticeship stages that need to be experienced before becoming a full-fledged mage, which is the division of third-class apprenticeship, second-class apprenticeship, and first-class apprenticeship that we know in the lineage. ”
"The biggest difference between a magic apprentice and a formal mage is not that we can only cast a level 0 trick, while a formal mage can only cast a 1-ring spell, but that the spiritual power of our magic apprentices has not yet been tempered, and it has not yet been combined with the elements, stars, runes, real names, essentia and other things in the meditation world to form a magic power that belongs to each of us......"
"The process of promotion of magic apprentices is actually the process of continuously combining our spiritual power with the original power in the meditation world to condense the true magic power......"
Carl has the memories left by the original owner of this body, and also has the insight to incarnate Princess Alicia, and after accepting the magic inheritance of the ancient magic empire, he quickly understands some differences and differences between magic practice and knight cultivation.
Whether it is the magic power of a magician or the fighting power of a knight, it is not a simple spiritual or life power, they are all born of spirit, but they are combined with the mysterious power born of the original power in the worldview philosophy in meditation and meditation, and at the same time have the dual attributes of spirit and matter, that is, there is an invisible side of spiritual thought, and there is a tangible side of life and matter.
The birth of this kind of power requires a process of refining and transformation, in the three stages where the mage is the magic apprentice, and in the three levels where the knight is the knight's squire.
But the power of the mage and the path of the knight are completely different. Mages represent human knowledge and wisdom, and value human free will, and the power of magic is more flexible and omnipotent, and is not fixed in one aspect.
Knights rely on firm conviction and practiced virtue to temper their fighting spirit, and their will and strength are as hard as rocks. The knight's fighting spirit and fighting skills are like statues carved from rock and steel parts forged with hammers, strong and powerful, but lacking in flexibility.
However, the magic of the mage is more flexible and omnipotent, the magic of the mage is composed of the original matter in the spiritual and meditative world, and it is itself a universal energy thing similar to the universal matter, which can show different powers and attributes with different magic, like water, which is ever-changing and unshaped.
The difference between the mage's ever-changing spiritual power and the knight's stubborn willpower like steel ore is so striking that it's almost impossible to mistake.
"Different schools of magic have different meditation methods, and the origin power of the meditation world is also different, for example, the origin power of the meditation space of the elemental school is the four basic elements, as long as the apprentice's spiritual power reaches the level of 20 zero-level tricks, and then integrates the four basic elements, adjusts the most suitable element ratio for himself, and finally fuses it in one fell swoop, giving birth to his own magic power, you can be regarded as a real magic apprentice. ”
"Another example is the astrological school, in addition to the requirements for spiritual energy, it requires apprentices to sense their natal stars in the meditation space, combine their will with the stars of destiny, and turn them into their own starlight magic......"
"The school of spells is to use spiritual power to outline the most basic twenty-eight rune letters, and finally write the power of spells with rune words fluently......"
"This refining process is what every apprentice of the school has to go through, the meditation method of the elemental school is actually to guide your spiritual power to constantly combine with the elements, and constantly elementalize the spiritual power, and finally make your spiritual power and the elements of the meditation world indistinguishable from each other, and even become something that can be called the fifth element......"
"Before the transformation of spiritual power into magic power, what spiritual power can do is very limited, after all, spiritual power is the power of the spiritual level, and it is very, very difficult to interfere with the material world......
"In the case of the Elemental School, many spells in the apprenticeship stage require a gem as a casting material - in the occult field, gems are considered to be the crystallization of the elements, and they are the most suitable casting medium for the Elemental School!"
