"How do you feel?" asked Mr. Och, putting down the steaming glass of water in his hand, turning his head to me.

"Hmm... Aches all over the body. I scratched my head and replied with an embarrassed face, knowing that it must be the silver spear that was at work.

"Manipulating magic is by no means as simple as you think, no matter what kind of magic has a counter-devouring effect on people, the more powerful the magic has a counter-devouring effect on the human body, if you don't have a good magic foundation, it is absolutely impossible to become a strong person directly in one step, that is, even if you put the superior liquid magic equipment in front of you, you will not be blessed to enjoy it, do you know what I mean?"

Mr. Auchi was very serious, but I was confused.

"Mr. Och, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"So explain to you and you will understand, magic is divided into two types: solid magic and liquid magic, the way to learn solid magic is to eat magic beads, and the way to learn liquid magic is to use magic equipment. When a person swallows the magic beads into the stomach, the magic beads will have a counter-devouring effect on the person's body, for example, the thunder beads will make people feel no pain, the whole body will be paralyzed, the fire beads will increase the person's body temperature, the epidermis will be red, the ice beads will make the person's body temperature drop, the whole body is cold, and there are water beads, sand beads, earth beads, wood beads, etc., etc., many magic beads will cause a backlash to the human body, but this kind of backlash will not endanger a person's life. ”

"Hmm—" I nodded to prove to him that I was listening.

"Earlier I was talking about the backlash of solid-state magic, and now I'm going to talk about the backlash of liquid magic, liquid magic is too powerful, and its backlash power is even more terrifying in this world, many magic shops sell equipment about liquid magic, and the price is cheaper than solid-state magic beads, but no one is willing to buy it, do you know why?"

"If liquid magic is so powerful, why doesn't anyone want to buy it?"

Mr. Oak had already guessed that I would ask such a question, and then he snorted coldly and continued: "That's because liquid magic equipment is too counter-devouring to people, and if you are not careful, you will die on the spot." ”

I frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Then why is Mr. Oak able to control the frost liquid magic but nothing happens?" When you used liquid magic to freeze the sword-bearer that day, I clearly remember that the silver spear was pinned to the ground by you, and your hand did not touch the silver spear, but you also used liquid magic to freeze the sword-bearer and his mount into a lump of ice, what is going on?"

"Who says I don't have anything?" said Mr. Och, rising from his chair and slowly unbuttoning his blue shirt.

"Oh my God, what's going on?!" I was stunned by the scene before me, no matter how I thought about it, I would never have imagined that Mr. Och's naked upper body had almost turned into crystal clear ice cubes, and the bones, blood vessels, and internal organs were naked in front of my eyes, which was really incredible.

Mr. Ochie put on his blue shirt again and said to me, "This is the reaction of the Frost Liquid Magic Equipment Ice Condensation Armor to me, it has merged with my body, and now it is only my upper body, in a few years, my arms, my hands, and my lower body will be the same as my body, and I will become a crystal clear ice cube like my body, and at that time, I will become an iceman monster covered in ice like Tofflin Mado." ”

The sparkling appearance of Mr. Och when he had taken off his clothes lingered in my mind for a long time, but my determination to become stronger did not waver in the slightest.

"Then why can Mr. Och take this silver spear, but I can't?" I still didn't give up, hoping to find a breakthrough in Mr. Och's mouth to pick up this silver spear.

"Because I've put on the Ice Freeze Armor, and both the Ice Freeze Armor and the Frozen Ice Gun come from the Ice Dragon, so if I put on the Ice Freeze Armor, I can pick up the Frozen Ice Gun, if I can pick up the Frozen Ice Gun..."

"I can't pick up this Frozen Ice Gun without wearing the Ice Condensation Snow Armor, even if I can afford it now, because I have fused with the Ice Condensation Snow Armor, this Frozen Ice Gun is the same as an ordinary spear in my hands, and it can't exert its power at all, I originally wanted to use this Frozen Ice Gun, but the anti-devouring power of this Frozen Ice Gun is too strong, and my own ice magic foundation can't control it, so I have to wear this Ice Frozen Snow Armor. ”

I looked at Mr. Och in disbelief, "Didn't you even get this silver gun at first?"

"That's right, this Frozen Ice Gun belongs to the ice attribute weapon, and the Ice Condensation Snow Armor belongs to the ice attribute weapon, who is high and who is low at a glance, if you can use this Frozen Ice Gun as a weapon to fight the enemy, I don't know how many times better than this Ice Condensation Snow Armor, the reason why I lost to the thunder and lightning liquid magician Tofflin Mado in Demon Ridge that day is because he is holding a thunderbolt liquid magic weapon, the liquid magician has the advantage when fighting with the solid magician, when the liquid magician and the liquid magician fight, the comparison is no longer magic, one is a weapon, a weapon that can cut the magic chain, and the other is reaction and speed, ToffrinMado was far superior to me in terms of reflexes and speed, and as soon as my frost arrived, he was long gone. ”

"Mr. Och, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become, what is the magic chain?"

"It's something similar to a thought wave, invisible to the naked eye, but real, the magic chain can be used as a weapon for invisible attack, and it can also be turned into a shield for invisible defense, the battle between liquid mages is a contest between shields and spears, and a liquid mage can be eliminated in the blink of an eye, which is completely non-existent. ”

"Mr. Ochie, when I took that silver spear earlier, I only felt frozen all over, was I being devoured?"

"That's right, if I hadn't taken the silver spear out of your hands in time, at this moment, both your blood and your internal organs would have frozen into ice lumps. ”

"This—" I didn't say any more, and if everything was as Mr. Och had said, it seemed impossible to rise to the top and become the strongest in one step.

"Alas," I sighed deeply, and all my previous ambitions had come to naught.

"Vig. ”

"Huh, what's wrong, Mr. Och?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any magic to teach you, as I said before, solid magic requires magic beads, liquid magic is more demanding. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Ochie, it's okay...", I forced a smile and pretended not to care, but the loss on my face couldn't hide it.

"Can I ask you something, Vig?"

"Mr. Ochie, please?" I couldn't believe it.

"That's right. As he spoke, Mr. Och reached out and took out a red lacquered wooden box from his bosom, which he held in his hand, and looked at me intently with his eyes as if hesitating.

"You say, Mr. Och. I said so, but my eyes were fixed on the small wooden box in Mr. Och's hand, and my intuition told me that there must be something extraordinary in the small wooden box.
