Chapter 5: My Own Way

It had been six months since Lin Xuan had studied magic with Baltha. Shen Yi's super high spiritual power allowed him to master any magic extremely quickly. Especially elemental magic, for Shen Yi, most of them didn't even need to use spells. Moreover, the elemental magic in Lin Xuan's hand was so powerful that it was enough to become a humanoid elemental turret. In a sense, Lin Xuan's performance made Balsa extremely unaccomplished.

But fortunately, Lin Xuan is not omnipotent. At least Lin Xuan was in potions, and his performance was quite ordinary. For months, he still couldn't distinguish the most basic potion attributes. This made Balsa sigh that there are gains and losses. As Lin Xuan burned down his Potions studio again. Balsa had to persuade him.

"Perhaps you should let go of your attachment to potions and study what interests you more. For example, elemental magic, or space magic. ”

"But I'm still trying to." As a traverser, how could Shen Yi allow himself to have such a failed side?

"But you've destroyed all my potion storage, as well as my refining tools. So, if you still want to try, figure it out for yourself. ”

Lin Xuan: "......"

"Mirror Swap is an extremely commonly used spell to trap enemies. But this magic involves much more complex things than elemental magic. We magicians believe that there is a mirror space in this world that is the opposite of the real space. Thousands of years ago, Mr. Merlin was the first to prove its existence. and developed a mirror spell from this. In fact, the mirror itself does not have any connection to the mirror plane. But with the help of mirrors, we can better imagine the existence of mirror planes, so most of the mirror magic is done with the help of mirrors. Just remember that using mirrors is better at casting spells. But you can throw them out at any time and do it independently. ”

Mirror magic was undoubtedly a spell involving space, which also made Lin Xuan feel struggling for the first time. For a mage to want to use magic, you must first believe in it. Lin Xuan has undergone the baptism of various online novels and Hollywood film and television dramas, and his ability to accept it is still relatively strong. It's just that this kind of magic obviously can't be learned by mental power or imagination. It requires repeated contact to find some kind of point of engagement that works best for you.

After much experimentation, he eventually mastered the first mirror magic. That is, in the original book, Balsa trapped Hobbes in the mirror. This is the most basic application of the mirror space, and it is also the basis for in-depth learning of mirror magic. Mirror magic gave Lin Xuan a special idea, storage space. How can you be a time-traveler without storage space?

"Why don't we use mirrored space as a means of storage?" Lin Xuan thought Balsa raised his own questions.

"There are several issues that are difficult to solve. Objects in the mirrored space are not able to move with us. So it's just a fixed warehouse for us. However, the Mirror Space can be opened by almost any magician, so it's still an unlocked warehouse. So he doesn't mean much. At most, it can only prevent ordinary people. ”

"What if we split a mirror block of space? Permanently severed. And then link it with a magic apparatus to get a locked private warehouse? ”

Lin Xuan's words made Balsa stunned. He paused for a moment and said, "There are indeed spells in the higher spatial magic that cut the space. But space is self-healing. It's like the ocean. You can quickly leave a trail in the seawater. But the rest of the water fills it up in an instant. You can't fight the whole sea. So ......"

"We don't need to fight it, we just take a little bit of water from the sea."

Lin Xuan's words made Hobbes silent for a long time, it was not that no one had put forward this theory before. It's just that no one is able to do it. But if it was the disciple in front of him, maybe it was possible.

"Maybe we can give it a try."

The magic of storage is far from what you think. But they have made some progress. Faced with this situation, Balsa undoubtedly taught Lin Xuan more wholeheartedly. But there was one thing that Lin Xuan was extremely concerned about. That is, he had never seen the magic book that was older than Merlin.

In the original plot, when Dave met Balsa for the first time, when Dave got the approval of the Ring of the Dragon, Balsa couldn't wait to get the magic book. But it had been six months since he arrived at Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan had never seen the shadow of a magic book. Lin Xuan knew where the magic book was, but he didn't dare to act rashly, you must know that Balsa was an old mage who had lived for thousands of years, how could he be defenseless on such a key item?

In the process of studying, Lin Xuan once took time to return to the real world. After doing the math, he found that the ratio of time between reality and the world of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" movie was one to six. This flow rate ratio is still acceptable, at least there will not be an embarrassing situation when he returns from school, and the reality has already passed more than ten years.

Lin Xuan restrained his desires and continued to study the lessons that Balsa had prepared for him step by step. Ice is constantly refining the theory of the magic of storage space. Lin Xuan, who has a super spiritual foundation, can be said to have mastered magic by leaps and bounds. In less than a year, Lin Xuan had completed all of Balsa courses.

"You're already a qualified mage, Lin. Now I have nothing more to teach you, you should go to the outside world. Pursue your own path of magic. Go and complete the storage magic you envisioned. You have unparalleled talent, and perhaps one day, you will be able to become a great magician like Merlin. ”

The 'evoker' hidden in the Spellbook is perhaps the strongest spell in the entire movie world. However, that kind of dark magic, summoning an army of the undead, must come at a great price. The reason why Lin Xuan had always wanted to get the magic book before was because of it. It's just that Lin Xuan forcibly suppressed his desires, he knew that his thoughts were not normal. He was so hungry for power that he always ignored the negative effects of that magic, consciously or unconsciously. It's a rather unhealthy state of mind. To paraphrase the Eastern martial arts theory, the current Lin Xuan is on the verge of going mad.

Baltha's words reminded Lin Xuan. It's time to get out and have a look. It is impossible for a person who studies with his head covered to become a real mage. And he began to feel his mental agitation. At this moment, Lin Xuan decided to leave this antique shop and go to see the magic of different factions in order to enrich his magic reserves. He wants to go out of his own magic path and create his own magic.
