Chapter 27: The Bear Child

A magic item that can store knowledge and all kinds of information?

Ethan's requirements are not high, in fact, there are many similar methods for magicians, but Ethan mentioned an additional requirement, that is, he can continue to 'absorb' or 'copy' newly obtained books or other materials into this magic item, so that he can easily view it later.

"Oh, that's a good idea, but I need to figure out how to do it. ”

For a magician of Merlin's level, the powerful spiritual power gives them an extremely strong memory, even if they have never been exposed to knowledge, it takes very little time to remember it, and they don't even have to worry about forgetting or remembering it wrongly.

But Ethan is still far from reaching this level, and this kind of magic item is very necessary.

Because he can't have a fixed place to live, as many mages do, and then collect all kinds of books that he has collected. Judging from the environment introduced by Ethan before, the storage of books is indeed a problem - but now Ethan needs to collect and carry a large number of books, which has become the most headache for Ethan at present.

"It would be nice if there were some figurative references. ”

Of course, Ethan knew more visual references, and even knew many kinds, such as the tablet he had used in his previous life, which was a very convenient tool, and he even considered making a similar thing, and the energy supply was done with magic stones, maybe the created thing would be better to use.

It's just that I don't know anything about magic stone technology, so this is only part of the future backup plan.

In addition, the most suitable reference for Merlin is the bracelet that records his own information.

"Do you think this is okay?"

"Oh?" Merlin took the thin white strip of tape that Ethan handed him, this thing was very inconspicuous, usually hidden under the bracers, and even Merlin didn't notice it.

Now that he saw that he had touched it with his own hands, Merlin also noticed the extraordinaryness of this thing: "It's a bit interesting, with this thing as a reference, I will soon be able to have some clues." ”

Ethan suddenly remembered that he had also obtained a magic stone, and he didn't know if the attributes were the same, so he simply handed it over to Merlin for him to study.

Merlin was even happier when he saw this magic stone, and took the bracelet and the magic stone and went into his laboratory, without even saying hello to Ethan.

The legendary magician is still a magician, and when he encounters something he is interested in, he will inevitably reveal some habits that magicians have, but Ethan has been in contact with too few magicians before, and he didn't react for a while.

Arthur, who had been by his side, explained at the right time: "When Lord Merlin encounters something of interest, he will focus too much on this matter and ignore other people or things, so I hope you don't feel offended by this." ”

"Oh no!" Ethan waved his hand, "just wondering how long it would take Master Merlin to make what I wanted." ”

Arthur is very confident in Merlin's strength: "I believe it won't be long. ”

The two young people who will definitely become partners, and they will float on the ocean together in the future, and adventure in various planes, also took advantage of this time to chat for a while, so as to increase their understanding of each other.

In terms of age, Arthur was still a teenager, only fourteen years old, much younger than Ethan.

And Arthur, who has just entered puberty, seems limited and thin, and his height is not very tall, coupled with the voice that begins to change voices...... Ethan always felt that he was suspected of being a nanny.

Arthur is very smart, and he has always been very careful to observe Ethan, who will take him to various worlds to adventure in the future, learn and see all kinds of worlds and knowledge.

So when Ethan showed some wry smiles, he quickly guessed what he thought.

So, young Arthur proposes a competition between the two.

Anyway, the two of them have nothing to do now, chatting is familiar with each other, and the competition is the same, as a partner, it is also necessary to understand the combat ability of your comrades, otherwise you don't know whether you should trust your teammates' strength and let him face it alone, or should you worry about his life safety to rescue.

Ethan also understood this, so he did not refuse Arthur's proposal, and directly nodded and agreed.

Outcome......

The result was very embarrassing for Ethan!

Arthur may be very young, but he is the king's own son after all, although he was not able to bring it back to the castle directly because of his background, but he still asked the great magician Merlin to raise and teach him in all aspects.

It is even more unlikely that there will be any difficulties in food and clothing, coupled with the training method that Merlin has tailored for him since he was a child, and more than ten years of uninterrupted training, Arthur's strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Looking at Ethan, who has been malnourished since he was a child, and has not even touched the door halfway through his home, he has learned a few simple melee combat with a priest, and he has just begun to practice basic swordsmanship......

After being hit by Merlin once, Ethan was taught by the young Arthur to be a man, which made him very depressed, fortunately although Arthur's foundation is solid, but because he is young and not strong enough, he has been practicing hard so he lacks real experience against the enemy, so he was won by Ethan in the next few rounds, which is considered to save some face.

"Your foundation is good. ”

"Your foundation is too poor. ”

The two of them fought for most of the day, and inevitably showed the 'mouth escape' stunt in the competition, in order to interfere with the opponent's play, and it is precisely for this reason that the relationship between the two people has become a lot closer after the fight, and there are a little less scruples when they talk.

"I've only been learning swordsmanship for a few months, and I've been practicing it all on my own. ”

Arthur nodded, if this is the case, it is understandable that Ethan's swordsmanship foundation is poor. In addition, Ethan is a mage, so he will definitely spend a lot of time practicing magic knowledge, so he will not have much time to practice swordsmanship.

"In this way, it is not easy for you to have the strength you have now. ”

Ethan smiled bitterly, he wasn't sure about this, maybe it was just because his foundation was too poor, so the initial progress was fast, and maybe he would soon encounter a bottleneck - in close combat, he was not strong in strength, and he suffered a lot. And strength is limited by talent and living conditions, and it is not so easy to grow and improve.

Arthur, on the other hand, is only fourteen years old, and he is not much weaker than himself in terms of strength, and when he is a few years older and his body has grown completely, it is estimated that he will not even be able to resist his sword.

"Maybe you can consider finding something to improve your physical fitness?"

After all, you can't be sure what world you will go to in the future, although the Sea of Calm is fine, but you are not ready to eat and wait for death in that ocean for the rest of your life, and you will definitely have to attack the wider world - in this way, the Sea of Storms has become a chasm that you must cross, and in addition to having a better ship, a strong body can also increase the possibility of success.

In addition to this factor, there is also the point of longevity.

Now that he has the ability to travel through different worlds, it is possible to live forever, at least beyond the lifespan of ordinary people.

What's more, if you don't find a way to increase your lifespan, you may die because of old age and decay before you reach your goal.

"That's a big loss. ”

So, don't look at Ethan's seemingly aimless wandering during this time, in fact, he has always had various plans for his future in his head.

The order of these plans is then constantly adjusted according to various unpredictable circumstances.

At the beginning, improving one's strength to ensure that oneself has the power to protect oneself has been completed.

I found a method that could continue to be systematically cultivated, and now after meeting Merlin, I can be regarded as having a clue.

As for making a magic prop that can store a large amount of knowledge and materials, it belongs to the branch that needs to be solved in cultivation, and now with the help of Merlin, it can be regarded as having a direction.

After these two goals are completed, the next top position is physical fitness and longevity.

Ever since he was sure that he could travel through the plane, this thought had appeared in his mind, but his own safety was more imminent, so he had to hide this thought deeply.

Until this time, because of the physical fitness factor, I also considered the point of increasing the life expectancy.

"There are many planes that can increase a person's lifespan, and the only trouble is that I'm not sure I'll be able to go to those worlds. "At present, the most reliable way is still to take one step at a time, and at the same time work hard to become a mage one step earlier.

According to Ethan's guess, many mages have the means to increase their lifespan, which may be learned from some secret books, or they may have realized it by themselves when practicing various magics, and he believes that as long as his magic strength is improved to a certain level, he can even solve the problem of lifespan with his own ability.

Relatively speaking, on the contrary, how to improve physical fitness is more troublesome - in fact, the improvement of physical fitness can also change to increase vitality, plus it will also improve their combat effectiveness, which will make their life safety more guaranteed.

At present, the most effective way for him is to exercise consistently, and there are no shortcuts.

This time, he also has a professional teacher and the legendary king of Britain in the future: Arthur Pendragon!

The young King Arthur seemed to find the joy of being a teacher in Ethan, and almost every day at dawn, he called Ethan up, and then used the cultivation he had done back then on Ethan.

"This is all the practice you did when you were eight years old?"

After three days, Ethan, who always felt that something was wrong, opened his mouth to ask, and the sunny boy King Arthur actually magically showed an embarrassed look.

"Actually, I taught you how many times the amount of training I used to do, after all, I was too young to withstand such a large amount of training. ”

“......”

Ethan looked up at the sky, never expecting that King Arthur, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a righteous face, was actually a black-bellied bear child. It's a pity that his expression didn't last a few seconds, and Merlin, who had disappeared for a few days, finally appeared, and at the same time brought Ethan good news: what he wanted was done.
