Chapter Ninety-Nine: Success
"No, I don't understand how the belief mentioned in the book works. Diana, why don't you go back to your room first, and I'll talk to Gu Yi again to see what this is all about. ”
Although he wanted to go to the Ancient One, Clark felt that it would not be good if he left Diana alone, after all, he had asked her to come to Kathmandu to play, and now he didn't have time to spend with her.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, it's important to learn how to control the energy of that cosmic cube first, I don't want to be taken to outer space by you one day without paying attention."
Diana just smiled at Clark's proposal, telling Clark not to care about herself.
After walking out of the cafeteria, Clark made his way to the Ancient One's room. However, as he passed by the practice range, Clark saw a group of Kama Taj mages practicing various magical movements under Mordo's guidance. And among them, Clark also saw an acquaintance he had just met, and that was Casillas.
Looking at Casillas, Clarke's footsteps paused, and then an idea suddenly occurred in his head.
"Hey! Casillas. After the morning workout, Clark stopped Casillas, who was leaving.
Casillas, who was about to leave, heard someone calling him again, so he couldn't help but stop, and when he looked back, he found that the person who stopped him was actually Clark.
"Huh?! Mr. Kent, what's the matter? ”
For Clark, Casillas still has an impression. After all, he seemed to know his name when they first met, and then the attitude of the ancient one towards him also made Casillas feel that this Mr. Kent must be unusual.
Because after joining Kama Taj, Casillas knew how high the status of the Ancient One, the Supreme Mage, was. The guardian of the magical dimension of the earth, and controls the eye of Agamotto, which claims to be able to control time.
Casillas knew that the person who could make such an existence need to be taken seriously would definitely not be an ordinary person. So after discovering that it was Clark who stopped him, Casillas wondered what would happen to him when he looked for him.
"That's right, the Ancient One said that you are the most gifted person here, and your control of magic is among the best in the entire Kama Taj, so I have some questions for you."
Clark felt that since Casillas would steal the pages of the summoning Dormammu, he was certainly not a very conformist person. Clark knew that if he went to the Ancient One, the Ancient One would most likely not teach him the specific spell release process. If that's the case, then why not try it out with this Casillas?
"I don't know what the problem is? If only I knew. Although I was curious if Clark had any problems and came to him instead of looking for the Ancient One, Casillas didn't think about it that much now.
"The Ancient One told me that the basis of magic is faith, so how do you turn this faith into concrete magic?" Looking at Casillas as he cooperated, Clark asked his own question.
"If it's basic magic, it's simpler, it's to recite the spell to channel the energy you need, and then imagine what you need to do, like a shield."
As he spoke, Casillas drew a circle in front of Clark with both hands, and then a shield decorated with various runes appeared in front of him. Casillas then pointed to the runes on the shield and said to Clark.
"But according to the different sources of energy we guide, there will be some subtle differences in the form and power of these magics, for example, I am now channeling the power of the Vishandi that Kama Taj uses more.
But that's all I know, because I haven't learned much more. ”
After the demonstration, Casillas dissipated the magic shield on his chest. After all, he had only just begun to learn magic, and he didn't have much power to borrow.
"It's okay, I probably understand." After Casillas's explanation, Clark learned that the original effect of the spell was only used to borrow power.
It's no wonder that the Ancient One didn't teach him the meaning of spells, but once he knew the simple principle, Clark knew how to cast his magic. But the only difficulty now is how to believe in magic.
After saying goodbye to Casillas, Clark came out of Kama Taj. Because he was a little embarrassed to practice alone on the playground, he could even imagine that his own practice before he could get started must be the same as a psychopath, so Clark planned to find a place where no one would go to practice.
As it happens, Clark does know a good place, and no one here will definitely see him.
A few minutes later, Clark appeared at the North Pole. The Arctic is a good place, there are no people all year round, the temperature is suitable, there is plenty of care, and there are not so many flowers and plants, even if it is broken, you don't have to worry about anything.
Basically, he won't meet any people hanging out here, and no one will bother him.
After arriving at his destination, Clark looked up to make sure he didn't have a satellite on his head before starting his practice.
But as soon as he started practicing, Clark realized that things were exactly what he had thought. Although he directly bypassed the spell, he couldn't find any clue about the specific release of magic for a long time.
For example, the shield, Clark can imagine what the shield looks like. Whether it was Chinese or Western, the ancient one used it or the Casillas used it just now, Clark could imagine it all with his memory.
But being able to come up with it is being able to come up with it, but Clark didn't know how to combine his imagination with the energy in his body to produce magic.
"It doesn't matter, maybe it will be better if you practice more." Clark could only comfort himself with this.
Maybe if you practice more, it will really have an effect, after dozens of contacts, a golden magic point of light can appear in the air in front of Clark.
"That's it!" Looking at the point of light that appeared in front of him, Clark knew that he might have found the right direction.
However, it is not to mention that Clark's talent for magic is indeed low, and Clark doesn't know if this is because of Krypton's physique or his own talent.
After all, in the movie, although Doctor Strange can't use magic at first, there still seem to be points of light. And Clark only appeared after practicing dozens of times, which is a bit of a big difference in progress.
Clarke, who had seen Kama Taj's mage practice, knew that due to the physique and magic of ordinary people, most people would not be able to practice as high intensity as him at first. Most people take a break after a few practicum sessions and wait for the state to recover before starting the next exercise.
However, Clark also has an advantage over those mages, that is, his foundation is very strong, and many mages are strong enough to reach in their lifetime. And all Clark needs is a little bit of inspiration, as long as he knows how to connect his thoughts with the energy in his body, Clark will know how to release energy.
So after the point of light appeared, Clark roughly grasped this. That is, the thought in his mind is not just thinking, he has to be a feeling of belief.
It's like using a shield, you can't think about a shield, you have to think about defending against an attack. After figuring this out, Clark realized that he had misunderstood.
Recalling the feeling just now, Clark thought in his mind about guarding and defending. Then, with the movement of Clark's arm, a golden shield actually appeared in front of him.
However, Clark's shield is not the same as the shield used by Kama Taj's mages, whose shields are covered in runes. But this is not the case with Clark's shield, which is golden. So where it should have been runes, Clarke's magic shield didn't have it, and it was full of light, dazzling light.
"Otherwise, I'll call the Child of Light in the future····· Looking at the shield that appeared in front of him, Clark couldn't help but spit out his groove.
However, after being able to use the shield, Clark felt that he had a much higher control over the energy in his body. Then his mind moved, and suddenly he had an idea, he suddenly wanted to try to see if he could control the energy of the Cosmic Cube in his body.
So Clark raised his hands and waved his arms without the ring, just like in the movies.
