It's been another day and night, and the Great Forest of Yavi has been surrounded by a large cordon formed by the Demon Hunting Association and the Monster Bureau.

The ten advance points led by the Punisher and the Divine Favor were far away, and the team of 1,000 people advanced steadily.

Everywhere they passed, they dug three feet into the ground, so that the encirclement continued to shrink at a steady rate.

At this moment, Yu Dongshui, who was hiding in the cave, was still asleep, and there was still a day away from the nearest border.

But when the time comes, it will be almost impossible to find out.

As if he didn't need any sleep or rest, the old man stood on the inside of the cave isolated by illusion, looking into the distance with a blank face.

During this period, in order to ensure that Yu Dongshui could return to normal after waking up, he also hesitantly applied two magic spells to him.

This is not to ensure that before starting work, you can arrange more arrangements here, otherwise the old decay will not use this disgusting [power]······ It's called magic.

The magic applied was also something Yu Dongshui had never heard of - in fact, although Yu Dongshui was reincarnated as a great magician, his understanding of magic had not yet been introduced.

They are the [Endurance] to prevent the weakening of bodily functions due to not eating for a long time, and the [Brave Heart] to strengthen mental patience.

[Endurance] magic is a necessary primary magic that belongs to the auxiliary department, and it cannot relieve the problem of stomach hunger, but it can indeed obtain the vitality needed for action.

Even if the current goal is to make this young man stronger, there is no guarantee that he will have a good experience while becoming stronger.

Looking for food or something, the old man will not spend time doing such meaningless things.

When Dongshui woke up, the first thing he saw was the back of the old man at the entrance of the cave.

"Huh······ Hey, it hurts. Yu Dongshui wanted to say hello to the old man first, but then the pain coming from some part of his body interrupted his thoughts.

The source of this pain could not be traced to him, as if it came from within his body, but he could not be captured, as if he was not on the same plane as himself.

"If the soul base is damaged, don't move. The old man noticed Yu Dongshui, who had just woken up, and turned around and walked into him.

"It's not like it's good to get that······ Pain! What kind of power is not allowed? Hiss, why did you only get the price and not see the power?"

In order to express his meaning, Yu Dongshui endured the pain and finished speaking, and then a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This feeling is not a physical trauma, nor is it a tearing magical oppression, but a new kind of pain.

Although I didn't get the power of magic origin, I have tasted all the different pains in the world.

"It's too rare for an old man to expect this to happen. I also ask for your forgiveness. The old man bowed his head apologetically.

"Can you explain to me, what the hell is going on!!" Yu Dongshui didn't plan to pursue too much in this matter.

Because I vaguely feel that this failure is really all my own pot, the kind that can't be shaken off.

"As you wish. The old man nodded and said, "If the old man guessed correctly, it should be Xiaoyou's [Talent Magic] with two different effects······"

"Talent magic!?" Yu Dongshui was surprised without waiting for the old man to finish speaking: "What does the old man mean is that all the magic I used before was talent magic, not the magic of the great magician!?"

This word was the first professional term that Yu Dongshui understood from the old man's mouth, but understanding this one made him feel that his outlook on life collapsed.

So in a sense, I'm the same nature with those gods out there?

The interrupted old man didn't show any displeasure, but continued: "One is the function that Xiaoyou usually uses, I believe Xiaoyou knows it very well, right?"

It's referring to [Command] or something.,It's really almost clear about the purpose of this magic.。

So he nodded heavily, looking forward to the old man's follow-up explanation.

"Well, just yesterday, the old man wanted to open Xiaoyou's spiritual seat, but he didn't expect to be contained by a sudden force, resulting in a breakthrough failure. ”

The old man's finger raised slightly, pointing at Yu Dongshui: "That power comes from Xiaoyou himself." It's the negative effect of innate magic. ”

"Wait, wait, wait!" the young man listened again, "Can you explain to me what the Soul Pedestal is, and why is it a negative effect to curb the opening of the Soul Pedestal?"

"Too much explanation of this kind of thing and produce a sense of disagreement with the world, which is not good for the subsequent development, right?"

The old man greeted his confused expression and said, "Simply let Xiaoyou have a little intuitive understanding." The Great Magician and the reincarnation of the Great Magician that you speak of are all the states after the spiritual seat is opened. This way they can use a lot of magic and gain memories of the past. After all, there is no ······ here It seems to be off topic, and Xiaoyou laughs. ”

He coughed a few times, cleaned up the information, and then carefully selected a part and continued:

"And because Xiaoyou was inhibited by natural magic, even if he got the opportunity to open the spirit seat before, he was still contained. So I didn't gain the power and memory of my past life. That's understandable, right?"

Yu Dongshui nodded dizzily.

In retrospect, the path of light that I saw when I was in Crowe County before should be the magic circuit of the innate magic that the old man said.

It was at that moment that his fate changed.

But there was another question that he didn't understand: "Then since I haven't gained the power that belongs to the Great Mage, why can I use innate magic freely?"

At this moment, Yu Dongshui, who already believed that he was the reincarnation of the Great Magician, still couldn't explain that the Divine Favor obviously had to rely on some kind of external force to use innate magic, why could he use it anytime and anywhere?

"The spiritual seat is a good thing, but after all, it is a secondary product built on the soul. Even if the spirit seat is not opened, it is still possible to use the mana stored in the soul normally. ”

The old man with a natural face once again opened the door to a new world for Yu Dongshui.

I have to say that the current situation is like a child who has just entered a junior college, talking about academics with a professor at a top university.

Once it comes to nouns other than ordinary words, the former will be sanctioned by knowledge.

"So······ Uh, old-timer, what the hell is the soul? Is it really the same as the legend, or is it just a term with special meaning? What does it have to do with the spirit seat?"

At this time, Yu Dongshui is like a child who has made a mistake, after all, if he meets someone who wants to explain a few words, he will leave impatiently.

"The soul, of course, is the guy who separates you from these······ No!ahh

Although I understood all of them this time, it was a bunch of inexplicable words when put together.

Coupled with the old man's somewhat distressed tone, Yu Dongshui didn't know whether to speak out or not.

Finally, the old man made up his mind and said, "Let go of this topic! ”

What kind of secret is this mysterious old man hiding? Why does he have to wait until he explains why he doesn't care when he says it?

It seems that there are many secrets waiting for Yu Dongshui to excavate, but for now, it is better to follow the old man's wishes.

Because he had an extremely strong hunch that although some of the information was incomplete, after this conversation, he would undoubtedly have a comprehensive and abundant source of information that he had been groping for for a few years, or even decades, on his own.

Try not to end this conversation without ending it, and after several encounters with the Demon Hunting Association, he is deeply aware of the importance of intelligence.

Even if the strength is worse than the opponent, as long as the intelligence is in place, there is always a way to win.

As long as there are creatures, there will be weaknesses. The seemingly invincible punisher certainly fits this law as well.

Until then, you can't just use your own magic all the time, you have to know it better.

After all, the Demon Hunter Association's research on magic is far superior to that of Dongshui, and it would be bad if the information leaked during these battles made them prepare to defend themselves against their magic.

What you have to do is to fully understand your weakness and then make up for it.

"So, what exactly is my magic? The old-timers should know, right?"

"Don't you know what your innate magic is? ”

The old man was a little abrupt at this question.

"Being able to use does not mean understanding. Yu Dongshui embarrassedly grabbed the root of his ear, which was red from embarrassment: "Please also ask your seniors to teach you!"

"I can't say it, it's just a little bit of personal opinion. The old man didn't say it directly, but instructed him, "Use the magic once first." ”

I'm tempted to ask how to use it, but it seems like a strange question.

While all other spells have a fixed effect, one's own magic can play a different role depending on who uses it.

Let's start with the cone.

Yu Dongshui began to give orders as usual, and after a while, sharp cone of earth rose from the ground.

Before the change, the said cone was not offensive at all. But now, with the enhancement of ability, the strength of the command has also increased, and this attack has been formed that can break through the defense of ordinary people.

But the old man not far away saw a different scene.

He used the detection magic [Magic Perception], and clearly saw a stream of magic gushing out of Yu Dongshui's body, and then returned to Dongshui's body after the goal was achieved.

"That's what happened. The old man nodded thoughtfully.

"What did the old-timers see?"

Even if I don't want to admit that the old man just saw through at a glance what he hadn't understood for two months, the fact is that the old man does have this ability.

"That's right, the old man once again saw the scene where Xiaoyou was different from others. The old man greeted Yu Dongshui's expectant expression and said:

"Xiaoyou's magic can be glimpsed from the same type of magic in the [Psychiatric Department] and the [Sacrifice Department]. “

Although he didn't know what these two or what departments represented, Yu Dongshui still listened carefully.

"Xiaoyou's magic power will have a layer of directive effect attached to it after being processed by the magic circuit, which is the same as [Confusion] and [Appeal]. ”

"But the difference is that after the purpose is completed, the magic power will not be consumed like this, and there seems to be a force that pulls all the magic back. ”

The old man's words gradually slowed down, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.

Then he made a request: "This phenomenon of magic return is not enough to reach a conclusion alone, and I ask Xiaoyou to use magic again." ”

"Is it still just like just now?" Yu Dongshui can generally understand except for the sentence that the old man added with proper nouns after explaining and analyzing.

"No, if you can, use goals that make a consistent difference. ”

"Understood. ”

The two began to explore the truth about the magic of the Great Mage's reincarnation talent together.
