Chapter 12: A Sudden Encounter
"You say, you want to be a spellcaster?"
Lancelot looked down at the young man opposite, after entering the team, after washing up once, the young man who changed into new clothes looked very handsome, his eyes were full of aura, even in front of him, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and in Lancelot's eyes, he naturally had a temperament that was difficult to explain.
Unbeknownst to Lancelot, this was Arthur's unique temperament as a time-traveler.
Arthur tilted his head, pretending to be naΓ―ve and ignorant,
"Yes, Lord Knight, I want to be a spellcaster."
"It's good to be a spellcaster, it's very ambitious!"
Lancelot smiled and looked at the boy in front of him,
"So, lad!"
"What kind of spellcaster do you want to be?"
"Mage? Is it a priest, or an alchemist, or a dark wizard, you know, the knight in front of you can occasionally cast spells? β
As he spoke, Lancelot stretched out a finger, a very beautiful finger, not as thick as the usual warfighters, but as clear as jade.
Arthur watched, then looked in Lancelot's eyes in confusion, and then turned his head to look at the finger.
Then the fingers changed in front of him, a blinding light that lit up from the tips of the knight's erected fingers, and then brighter and brighter, almost filling Arthur's eyes.
Ah, Arthur couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Lancelot, who succeeded in his little trick, smiled narrowly,
"How's it going, boy, light magic, real magic!"
Arthur's eyes were about to burst into tears when he was stimulated by the magic of the unscrupulous knight, and he was full of resentment, but he didn't dare to attack. The message that leaked from Lancelot's words made him feel awe-inspiring.
He only knew that this world was a magical world, but he didn't expect that there were so many famous types of spellcasters, mages, priests, these are okay, alchemists, and wizards? Is it so complicated?
And the knight in front of him can also cast spells, which also caught him off guard.
He realized that his previous plan was too simplistic, and many things were not as easy as he had imagined.
"Of course it's not easy, little one, you first need to find a mage mentor who is willing to accept you, you must show superhuman potential, mage is a real talent class, you can't become a mage without talent. The Luolan Continent, with a population of tens of millions, only has an average of three digits of new spellcasters born every year, which is a few tenths of the new fighters born during the same period. β
The scale is so small?! Lancelot's words gave Arthur a new understanding of the alleged talent of the spellcaster.
"So, if you really want to learn spells, then go to Tasemir, who has a mage guild where there are tools to test your casting talents, and they'll test it for you. If you really test that you have excellent talents, rest assured, there are big mages vying to accept you as a disciple. The great arcane path will open to you. No one can refuse a talent with the talent of a spellcaster. β
The kind of scene described in Lancelot's language made Arthur's heart itch, but he was a time-traveler after all, and knew that things were not so simple, so he took a deep breath and asked:
"So, my lord, what do you mean by talent......"
"Haha, of course it's mental power! Do you expect you to be as muscular as Groot next to you? Mage is a profession that explores the mysteries of the world, focusing on mental power, intelligence, will, and elemental affinities rather than strength. Specifically, there are many factors that affect it, but the most important of them is mental power!
Mental power determines how far you can go on the arcane path, so if you want to be a spellcaster, then first, you must have strong enough mental power, only then you can possibly embark on the mysterious arcane path. β
Arthur pursed his lips and thought, hum, what mental power? Then you really don't know Groot, who would have thought that Groot, a two-headed ogre born and raised in the human world and not yet formed, would become the king of the ogre race - the ogre shaman?
Shaman is also one of the most powerful spellcaster classes in Loraine.
He had told Groot in every possible way not to cast spells in front of outsiders, in order to hide them from outsiders. The appearance of a simple-minded and powerful two-headed ogre will alarm the entire human kingdom and the entire mage class.
Now Groot's shamanic spell is the biggest killer weapon of the duo, so he won't let outsiders know about it easily.
Lancelot seemed to know a lot about the caster.
His words gave Arthur a deeper understanding of the world.
"There is an enemy attack ahead, prepare for battle!"
Suddenly, a loud roar from a knight on a horse interrupted the communication between the two.
What, enemy attack?
Before Arthur could react, he saw Lancelot beside him, whooshing and disappearing on the spot, and then a few seconds later, he reappeared dozens of meters away, at this time he put on his full body of completely bright silver armor, rode on the horse, and drew his great sword.
"Where is the enemy? Who and why are they attacking us. β
The knight who reported the news replied nervously,
"It's a goblin, a group of goblin bandits from the Gran Heights."
"About a thousand goblin bandits are rushing towards us."
Goblins are a ubiquitous creature on the continent, somewhere between beasts and intelligent beings, and in the human kingdom, they are often associated with banditry.
"Humph! These bandits and thieves, the temple should have exterminated them a long time ago! β
"How dare you strike at the temple team!"
Before the knight's words fell, Arthur's team, which Arthur had always thought was strange, was like a giant beast that had been hidden for a long time, and completed its transformation, those charioteers who were always lazy on weekdays became warriors and archers, and those horsemen who only fed cattle and horses on the road turned into terrible knights, and the whole team was ready for battle in a very short time.
Lancelot led a dozen equally well-armed knights with knightly spears in hand ready to charge,
Behind them, dozens of warriors in heavy armor and armed with swords and halberds lined up in a neat formation, like a wall in front of them, and behind them, the mysterious archers stuck precious magic arrows into the front of the car, ready to fire at any time.
Several priests were chanting with their staffs held alof, and the magic crystals at the top of the staff shone brightly, and a faint milky white magic fluorescence slowly descended, enveloping all the team members present.
Everyone in the team, including Arthur, felt their blood boiling and their will to fight was high, as if they were desperate to see the enemy and tear them apart to vent this anger in their hearts.
Blessing!
A wide range of blessings in war!
This kind of magic can stimulate the potential of human soldiers on a large scale in war, expand their muscles, increase their strength, and become fearless of pain and death, just like some kind of powerful stimulant in later generations, and the combat effectiveness of such soldiers on the cold weapon battlefield can be imagined.
This alone has increased the combat effectiveness of the entire army by two or three percent.
No wonder, on the battlefield, the priests of the temple are called the engine of the battlefield.
Arthur thought to himself.
Only Groot was a little uncomfortable under the blessing of the divine magic, and this bathing magic aura seemed to suppress something deep in the blood veins of the ogre, making him a little irritable, and the two heads let out an inexplicable moan and leaned towards Arthur.
Arthur knew he was afraid.
After all, he grew up in a human environment, although he has transformed into a two-headed ogre, mastered terrible magic, and climbed to the top of the natural food chain of the Loland world, but he is still a child after all.
