Chapter 9: Gifts
Because magic is the energy of life energy and spiritual energy added to a certain amount of natural energy condensed into energy, so magic can be exercised from the inside out, constantly make the magic oscillation and compression, it will cause no less than the effect of physical exercise on the internal organs and muscles everywhere, as the frequency of oscillation continues to accelerate, the degree of compression of energy is higher, and the effect of using magic exercise is stronger, but all this needs to have the foundation of physical fitness, otherwise it will only hurt yourself. And as the oscillation frequency of the magic becomes higher, it can even be life-threatening.
The warrior's various powerful body forging exercises are like this, using magic to oscillate from the inside out to exercise the body, and there are also advanced such as Twilight Star, which has been doing internal and external initiates before, using magic power to exercise internal organs and muscles in the body, while constantly performing various physical exercises on the outside. The warmth of magic is to use the life energy and natural energy of the magic itself to slowly recover from the body's injuries, recover muscle fatigue, and slowly enhance physical fitness.
In fact, using magic to exercise the body is not only so simple, there are more powerful exercise techniques, but with Twilight's current physical fitness, it is not enough to use that kind of skill, because the load on the body is too great, if there is not enough physical fitness, it is estimated that it is "Bang!" The result of blowing itself into foam.
After resting for a while, Twilight's strength gradually recovered, and the pain in the tiger's mouth lessened, so Twilight stood up and picked up the long knife to continue practicing, but at this moment Twilight Star was stopped by Granus again.
"Your Highness, I don't know if you have noticed, when you just used the long knife to slash, you have been using only the strength of your arm, which not only makes your body unable to maintain balance when you exert force, but also limits the upper limit of your strength, you know, the strength of your arm is only a small part of the whole body." Granus's expression was serious, and he was very dissatisfied with the way Twilight had been training just now, but he didn't bring it up immediately, but observed for a while and waited until Twilight felt overwhelmed and rested before bringing it up.
"I know, but if I mobilize the strength of my whole body, I'm afraid that the knife will be bounced out, and I can't suppress this force of shock." Twilight nodded and said, after all, he had been a soldier in the previous novice mission, and he had undergone a lot of training, even if he didn't have any training and experience in hand-to-hand combat, but the basic truth was still understood.
"From now on, you must muster all the strength of your body with every swing! With the waist as the axis, the power is transmitted from the feet through the waist and then the power of the back is transmitted to the arms, and then swing hard, you must start to develop this habit now, so that the body can remember this way of exerting force, gradually turn it into instinct, and you must also carefully observe the texture of the stone while swinging the knife, concentrate your mind to find its weaknesses, its gaps, nothing in the world will be perfect, as long as it is not perfect, then there must be weaknesses, the difference is only big or small. Granus said solemnly, and set a strict demand for Twilight.
Twilight nodded, then stood in front of the stone and raised the long knife with both hands, gathering strength in the manner that Mentor Granus had said, and then slashed down hard, "Ding! After a crisp sound, Twilight's hands were shocked with numbness and pain, and the long knife flew out directly, as for the gaps and weaknesses that Granus said, Twilight couldn't even find a shadow, and the stones that Garland moved over were all washed by the torrent for many years, and the water chestnut horn had already been smoothed, and the surface seemed to be as smooth as nature.
"Come again!" Granus stretched out his hand, and the long knife flying in the air flew into his hand as if it was controlled by some invisible force, and he threw the long knife to Twilight and said coldly.
Twilight took the long knife and continued to train, the current training is just the basics, and the effect on improving strength may not be obvious, but this is a necessary basic learning. For the next few months, Twilight spent her days under the watchful eye of Granus using her training knife to chop rocks, or use her shield to practice blocking and slamming, during which she also learned a little about the use of bows and arrows, and spent a lot of time learning all kinds of basics, especially about magic.
……
"Mommy, Mommy! You see, I've been able to cast the Arrow of Light! In the soft moonlight, Twilight stood under the tree with an excited face and showed Dawn her progress in learning magic, and the smile on her face was so happy.
"That's good, Twilight has been making a lot of progress lately." Dawn said with a smile on her face, gently stroking Twilight's head.
"Because I've grown up!" Twilight happily dispersed the pure white arrow of light in his palm, and then happily plunged into Dawn's arms and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, my little twilight has grown up!" Dawn hugged Twilight in her arms and smiled.
"Mom!" Seeing Dawn so perfunctory, Twilight raised her head and shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, Mommy won't tease you, Twilight has been learning the way of warriors with the elves for nearly four years, right? The result? Dawn asked with a smile.
"It's not good, I can't help it with that stone until now!" Twilight's excitement about learning the Arrow of Light vanished, and she replied dejectedly.
"That's not good, Twilight can't be discouraged, you're still young, and you're learning the basics, so that you can grow without hindrance in the future, and only with a solid enough foundation can you reach higher heights." Dawn gently comforted.
"I understand, Mom!" After hearing Dawn's words, Twilight's slightly low mood disappeared completely, and his eyes, which had been somewhat gloomy, lit up again, shining as bright as stars, and now he felt that he was full of fighting spirit again!
Twilight is now fifteen years old, and it has been almost four years since he trained as a warrior with Granus, but Twilight's strength growth is really minimal, except for the addition of a weapon familiarity: E-level skills, and a small increase in three-dimensional attributes, it seems that there is really nothing, and the weapon familiarity mentioned here includes long knives, shields, and bows and arrows.
"That's right, my heart must always be full of hope! Twilight, Mom has a gift for you. Dawn said with a gentle smile.
"Gifts?" Hearing this, Twilight raised her head and looked at Dawn's gentle face in a daze, her bright eyes full of curiosity.
"Twilight close her eyes and don't peek, Mommy will help you put them on." Dawn touched Twilight's head and chuckled.
"Hmm!" Twilight obediently closed her eyes and waited quietly for the gift.
After Twilight closed her eyes, Dawn leaned down slightly and kissed Twilight's forehead gently, a strand of pale silver hair was gently brushed across Twilight's face by the breeze, and then Dawn grabbed Twilight's hands and put two pure white rings on Twilight's hands.
"Alright, Twilight can open her eyes! See if it fits. Dawn smiled playfully.
Twilight slowly opened her eyes and looked down at the two slender rings that she was wearing between her fingers, as pure as mutton fat and white jade, and Twilight smiled happily as she gently stood on tiptoe and kissed Dawn's cheek.
"As long as it's given by my mother, I like it, and this pair of rings is also very beautiful!" Twilight nodded happily.
"It's not just beautiful, this pair of rings is specially forged by my mother for Twilight, concentrate on it, infuse the magic into it, and then set your favorite weapons and equipment according to your heart, preferably no more than five, because the power in the ring needs to be stereotyped and grown, and if there are too many of them, it will cause a certain reduction in the growth of the weapon." Dawn said softly.
Twilight nodded her head, and according to her mother's words, she concentrated her mind and summoned the magic power into the two rings, the two pure white rings seemed to form an inexplicable resonance with the magic infusion, and Twilight seemed to naturally understand what to do.
Concentrate on pouring his thoughts and expectations into the ring with magic, and then the halo in the ring continues to flow, and finally it is shaped into two pieces of equipment, the ring in the left hand is a light shield formed purely by light, which is slightly similar to the one used by Twilight Star during training, but many details are completely different, but this shield has just condensed, and many details are still very vague and imperfect,
In the ring on his right hand was a long, straight, broad-bladed knife, almost identical to the one Twilight used in training, and there weren't many designs, and the various styles of the long straight knife were just like that.
As the setting gradually improved, the weapons in the two rings gradually took shape, and one of the biggest advantages of these weapons is growth, and growth also means that Twilight can adjust their size slightly, at least it will definitely fit in hand, and it will not feel small because Twilight is growing up.
Two pieces of equipment made entirely of light slowly appeared in Twilight's hands, a broad-bladed long straight knife, a shield large enough to protect the torso, Twilight opened his eyes and looked at the two pieces of equipment, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and then the two pieces of equipment dissipated into light chips, Twilight closed his hands in front of his chest, and parted again, and a star bow appeared on Twilight's left hand.
Twilight gathered his magic power, condensed the arrow of light he had just learned, bent his bow and arrow, and shot the arrow of light into the dark night sky, and the pure white arrow of light quickly flew out of the string, turning into a white light that pierced the night sky and disappeared. After trying on the bow and arrows, Twilight dispersed the Star Bow in his hand, and everything was back to its original state, except for the faint glow of the two rings between Twilight's hands.
"It seems that Twilight is very satisfied with her mother's gift." Dawn smiled with a smile.
Twilight retracted into Dawn's arms, nodding her head happily.
"But Twilight should also pay attention to it, this pair of rings currently has no other extraordinary power except for the weapons condensed according to your ideas, and the ring itself is very strong, and the quality of the weapon is actually very average, all of which requires Twilight to slowly collect various materials and infuse energy into the ring in the future, the biggest feature of this pair of rings is their growth, if Twilight finds any favorite materials in the future, just need to touch it with both hands, Then concentrate on mobilizing the magic and use the ring to absorb it. And because my mom and I added some special materials to it, this pair of rings may have more power than Twilight imagined, Twilight has to look forward to it, hehe. Dawn pulled a mischievous strand of silver hair behind her ear and smiled.
"I'll be sure to pay attention! And find awesome materials for them to evolve! Twilight nodded in earnest, swearing that he would take good care of the rings, whether they were strong or weak, because they were a gift from his mother.
And this pair of rings seems to be very powerful and has potential, as long as he works hard enough, this pair of rings will definitely grow into a very powerful equipment in his hands in the future.
