Chapter 4: The Treacherous Corpse
Dalaniel was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.
"That's it, the priests in the Temple of White Mancheng should be good at solving such things. Kenmore said, helping Mihart to sit down in the carriage, but looked at Dalaniel with undisguised suspicion in his eyes.
The strength of this Daraniel mage is definitely more than one level!
Mihat thought secretly in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw the first bright rays of sunlight shining on the west side of the mountain of Nukas.
Obviously last night both moons were hidden in the clouds, but today the sun miraculously came out. The cavern called "Sun" burst into a brilliant light, like the hands of a magician who performs healing magic. They flow softly on their faces.
Dalanier sat in front of him, his face gloomy, and suddenly, he looked at a rapidly withering banyan tree in front of him as if he were facing a great enemy!
He has been disguised as a coachman and has been hiding for months.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a Duosai man and had an inferior magical talent, he might have taken him in as a disciple! I still wasn't ruthless enough to be able to see death and not save him!
When he rescued that child, the energy fluctuations caused by the few intermediate magic used were really discovered by that guy!
Dalaniel's face changed slightly, and a flash of panic flashed between his brows, but he immediately regained his composure, and with a sense of his mind, he jumped decisively from the carriage, and he walked straight up to Mihat, crouched down, and said, "Come, child, give me your hand." ”
Didn't this Daraniel say that he couldn't heal spells?
Mihart looked at his father, and then at the groom, and his face was dazed.
Seeing this, Dalaniel got up and laughed loudly: "Lord Baron, in Daraniel, an Imperial person, a fourth-level magician of the Magic Guild. ”
Hmph! I already knew that this Dalaniel's strength was far more than one level!
But why did he lie?
"Master Daraniel, did you have any unspeakable secrets before?" Mihart was immersed in the satisfaction of breaking the secret, but the reason behind all this made him even more curious.
Dalaniel's answer was only half-answered: "Well, I can't help myself...... too"
Why didn't he go on?
Hell, is there any difference between saying and not saying this answer?
Mikhat was confused, and was about to ask a question, but found that his father had rolled up his sleeve and stared straight at him, and the look in his eyes clearly signaled that he should not talk too much.
Although Kenmore was a warrior, he did not read a lot of books on magic like Mihart, and he knew magic thoroughly, but he had dealt with magicians himself.
In the battle just now, the effects and power of the few spells used by Daraniel have clearly reached the level of intermediate magic!
Magicians are obsessed with the study of magic, and spend a lot of time in theoretical study and magic throughout their lives, so most of them have eccentric personalities, do their own thing, rely on their own great strength, and are above the world and even the law.
Magicians don't pursue money, and the priceless gems and crystals are nothing more than magic aids in their eyes, and magicians who specialize in the transformation system can just pick up a stone by the river, spend a few seconds and a little magic, and directly turn it into gold coins in exchange for a large amount of daily necessities.
However, history is not without powerful and evil magicians, the number one wanted criminal in the continent of Tydariel is a powerful magician, specializing in evil necromantic magic, after being wanted, and only with his attainments in illusion magic and change magic, he has escaped the pursuit again and again, and is still at large. Even the Magic Guild was at a loss, and finally simply claimed that they did not recognize such an evil mage as a mage protected by the Guild, and therefore the Magic Guild was not responsible for what he did.
The brave man who wanders the world, the strength is naturally not bad, and it is also a practice to hide his strength, no one wants to tell his team to others, right?
From the first-level magician coachman to the current fourth-level magician Dalaniel, as for how many levels of mage he is, and whether he is called Dalanier or not, God knows!
Kenmore thought so in his heart, so he glanced at Mihat.
Dalaniel tugged at Mihart's wrist so that the boy's arm was as wide as he could.
"Pain, pain, pain......" Mihart snorted in pain, only to see a faint glow of imperceptible faint light flashing from the purple crystal in the center of the ring on Dalaniel's index finger.
A wand of about half a meter was pulled out by Dalanier directly from the glitter of the crystal! The uneven thickness of the wand made it impossible to tell what material it was made of.
The end of the wand is inlaid with a milky white spherical crystal.
Dalaniel said, "I'm sorry, healing spells aren't my specialty, so I'll have to use this wand." ”
Mihart was haunted by Dalaniel's deception, but couldn't wait for him to cast his magic, so he quickly nodded in understanding.
He recalled the History of Universal Magic, which he had been researching during his travels:
Page 19, second line -
In addition to basic enchantment and alchemy, the Magic Guild divides magic into six major factions according to the principles of different magic and its effects: destruction, illusion, change, source power, summoning, and thaumaturgy.
Page 20, line 3 to page 22 -
Destruction magic, as the name suggests, directly causes damage to the object through the manipulation of the elements, destroying the physical body of the object.
Destruction magic is often the most direct form of magic that mages use in battle, with monstrous flames, howling waves, bitter storms, or deafening thunder.
Pages 23 to 26 -
In the early stages of the development of illusion magic, the caster manipulated light and shadow to affect everything that the light hits to create false illusions to confuse the opponent.
With the development of this kind of learning, powerful illusionists can not only affect the senses of the observer, but also directly affect the mind of the affected living beings by distorting the soul receiver.
Page 26, line 5 -
Transformational magic is a magician who directly changes the physical or magical properties of the object by using the most essential magical energy. At the heart of the change spell is "no attrition", which is the conservation of energy.
Pages 28 to 31, line 6 -
Source power is magic, and healing spells are included. Mages who are proficient in source power spells are undoubtedly powerful, and they are adept at using life source power to cast healing spells that promote physical growth, enhance physical functions, and repair physical damage.
If someone is stupid enough to provoke a Source Mage, his fate will be tragic, because the Source Mage can reverse healing spells and turn them into curses that destroy the tissues of the flesh and weaken the functions of the body.
Page 32, line 3 to page 52 -
Summoning magic is the most controversial of the six types of magic, and the magicians of the Magic Guild have argued more than once over whether summoning magic should be classified as a forbidden spell.
Before a summoner can perform summoning magic, he must first sign a contract with a creature from another plane. And it is the uncontrollability of the contract signing process that pushes this series of spells to the forefront of the debate among magicians again and again.
Summoners who summon creatures from other planes for the first time through spells will never obey orders, so summoners themselves must be stronger than summons in order to control summoned creatures.
This process is extremely complicated, many magicians who practice summoning have died at the hands of their own summons, and uncontrolled summons after killing the lord will naturally cause a lot of trouble, and when the situation is serious, there will even be large-scale massacres.
A mage who is proficient in summoning can control summons to work for the duration of the contract.
In addition, spells that use spells to manipulate the soul of the deceased or control the body of the deceased are in principle the same as summoning spells. However, this necromancy is seen as disrespectful to the dead and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and is therefore banned by the Magic Guild.
When people hear that a certain magician is involved in summoning magic, they feel that most of them have nothing to do with cold and rotten corpses.
Page 53, first to last -
Thaumaturgy is the oldest and most precise form of magic, capable of directly altering the laws of nature around the subject. However, due to the fact that there are too many variables to control for this type of spell, it is very troublesome in terms of effect, and after the magic of other types of spells has developed and each has the same effect, the old methods of thaumaturgy are no longer used. As a result, thaumaturgy is the most difficult of all magic to practice, and it is one that almost no one is proficient in.
For example, the suspension technique that floats into the air is completed by using thaumaturgy, the caster must first perceive the gravity around him, and then calculate the "anti-gravity" required to cancel the gravity, and finally convert the magic energy into the consumption of this "anti-gravity", and finally make the surrounding gravity ineffective;
Although the magical energy is absolutely conserved with the energy of manipulating the wind element, the wind element with the help of this is more or less overflowing.
Mihart knew in his heart that even a gifted magician, who spent his whole life on magic, could only dabble in the magic of all factions except thaumaturgy, but he could only master one or two magics.
Those who can be proficient in three or more types of magic are definitely one-in-a-million, a genius that is rare in a hundred years.
Compared to the study of martial arts, the learning of magic is more restricted by talent, and it is also more slow and difficult.
Every year, a large number of young people who are as enthusiastic as their childhood selves travel thousands of miles to the magic academy in Polestar City to undergo a magical talent test, hoping to achieve something on the magic path.
However, the number of people who leave the academy each year far exceeds the number of students who enter the academy! There are many ascetics who leave their teachers to go out to practice, but most of the rest are people with low magical talents like themselves, or dropouts who can't stand the difficulty and boredom of magic learning, and give up halfway.
When a magician is using magic that he is not very proficient in, he usually uses a wand.
The wand is made of materials that are suitable for the type of magic according to the different types and effects of the magic being assisted, and then inlaid with a variety of magic crystals to assist in the use of magic, enhance the power of magic, or reduce energy consumption.
As the mouthful and esoteric incantation came out of Dalaniel's mouth, the milky white spherical crystal at the tip of the wand began to glow with a golden glow, but it was not used for ordinary light—it flowed like the slow flow of the lower reaches of the White River due to the twists and turns of its banks, and flowed towards Mikhat's injured arm.
Michart looked at the slowly flowing golden brilliance in amazement, and almost rose to his feet in comfort.
The soft golden glow enveloped his entire arm, as if bathed in the warmth of the hot water that his father had prepared for him after each training session.
The light crept through the cracked timber of the house, scrambled through the cracks of the house, boiled by the fire of the house, and finally scrambled into his cuffs and neck sockets when he returned from his outing.
The pain was banished, and even the abrasions from the fall disappeared without a trace.
Mikhat looked at Dalaniel gratefully and thanked him sincerely.
Dalaniel put his wand away, smiled at Mihart, and said, "It's just a gesture, not enough thanks." ”
Kenmore's gaze at Dalaniel was noticeably gentler, but with his temperament, gratitude would not be superficial.
As the three of them recuperated for a moment and were about to continue on their way, Kenmore and Dalanier suddenly glanced at each other and looked behind them in unison.
Mihart moved his healed left hand, followed the gaze of the other two, and was stunned, the short sword in his hand slipped from his hand and smashed on the instep of his foot, but this did not save him from the shock!
The Holy Spirit is above!
None of this is true!
It's all a dream!
But his father didn't wake him up from the dream, and on the contrary, Kenmore was undoubtedly in this nightmarish reality with him—Kenmore's eyes were just as wide-eyed, apparently unable to believe what was happening before him.
The only one who is at ease is Dalaniel.
The three of them stared straight at the terrifying scene in front of them—a scene that even the bravest warrior would have nightmares for days on end—the bandit archer, who had been killed by Kenmore's hammer, staggered to his feet!
She—no, it should be said "it"—had even the marrow of her brain flowing slowly downward from the crack in her head, which had not yet dried, and the corpse's eyes stared straight at the three of Mihat, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets at any moment.
Even from a distance of several meters, Mishart could feel an inescapable chill enveloping him from head to toe! Kenmore softened from his surprise and stepped forward, mace in his hand eager to make another intimate contact with the head it had already smashed once.
I saw the corpse trembling and taking a few steps forward, with a sinister smile on its face?
Mihat's heart moved, and the corpse came back to life out of thin air?
What is it? It's a kind of magic that is listed as a forbidden spell.
Necromancy!
Mihat's breathing was a little disturbed, and he involuntarily pulled out the short sword at his waist and clenched it tightly in his hand, ready to follow his father's steps at any time to deliver a fatal blow to the corpse in front of him.
