Chapter 7 Introduction to the Mage I

With the harvest of this trip, the Donald four quickly returned to their home.

From the first time he brought back the prey he had hunted, in just five days, the old mansion of the Melinner family had changed its appearance.

The old yard was cleaned, and it looked brand new after spending a few silver months hiring a florist to decorate it. The house has also been largely renovated, with a simple but delicate set of furniture.

These days, Old Kod not only bought a lot of food and daily necessities, but also a few small packets of expensive spices!

And also hired a commoner woman as a cook and servant, although the aunt's cooking skills are not very good, but she is diligent in her hands and feet, and cleans the house and yard very cleanly. It's also worthy of the two silver moons paid by Old Kod.

The gods are above, and his body has not tasted such a delicious taste as salt-and-pepper lamb chops and potato bisque with lost fragrance for almost a decade!

Now that there is abundant money, some of the conditions that the nobility should have should also be provided. Power, status!

"Young Master, you're back!"

Back at home, the housekeeper Kede greeted him as soon as possible and reported today's expenses.

Donald waved his hand and said:

"Okay, Kede, you can make your own decisions about these families in the future, and you can tell me about it at the end of the month!"

Kede's grandfather and father used to be the stewards of the Merlinner family, and he can be said to be loyal servants for generations, he is only a few years older than Donald's father, but the family is in the middle, and he has suffered a lot in order to make ends meet and raise Donald as an adult, so he looks much older than he actually is.

In terms of master and servant etiquette, Kod, who was loyal to the Merliner family, has always had his own insistence, although Donald has always treated him as an elder, he has not relied on his elders to disregard his status as a servant.

"The young master has grown up and finally become a real nobleman, Ke De and I will be blind to death! In the future, when I return to the kingdom of God and meet the old patriarch and the old lady, Ke De can also be said to live up to their entrustment!"

Laughing and sending away Kode, who had been in a state of excitement for the past few days, Donald walked a few steps back to his room with some excitement.

In the new bed-changing master bedroom, Donald sat on the bed, followed by the bright crystal light on the bedside table, and carefully opened the parchment book.

Elemental and Meditation, this is a basic mage course written for elemental ** masters five hundred years ago, and many of the theories in it have been pursued by later generations of mages, especially elemental mages, who have regarded it as a classic.

Of course, the one that Donald purchased was not the original, but only a copy of the transcription of future mages, but it was comprehensive enough for him who urgently needed a mage to get started and become a full-fledged mage apprentice. If you want to learn more advanced or extensive knowledge, you need more mage books or real mage teachings.

Meditation is a way to make oneself fall into a state of emptiness and achieve the purpose of invoking spiritual power, and the rhythm of breathing and the state of visualization are very similar to those methods of refining qi and meditation in the previous life of Taoism Buddhism!"

Seeing this, Donald couldn't help but be a little excited, you must know that in his previous life, a young man of his age did not have a martial arts dream, and the education he received since childhood was even more heroic.

When I dreamed in the past, I also fantasized that I had adventures, learned peerless magic skills, punched the Quartet, punished evil and promoted good, and became a generation of heroes praised by the world!

When I was older, I was hit by game novels such as Fantasy Xianxia, and I was even more yearning for magic fairy!

Now that the real introduction to magic was in front of him, how could Donald hold back the excitement and excitement in his heart, and at that time, he didn't continue to read the overview of spell theory at the back of the book, and decided to understand the meditation first.

Donald, who was mentally prepared, put down the parchment, sat cross-legged on the bed like a cultivator in his previous life, and then closed his eyes and meditated, breathing one shallow and one deep, and tried his best to enter a meditative state.

Time passed little by little, half an hour passed, and Donald, who had not yet found a little feeling, began to feel impetuous.

"Hoo ......"

"What's going on?"

"Why can't I find that feeling?"

After holding on for another ten minutes, Donald let out a long breath and reluctantly gave up to continue the experiment.

Knowing that perhaps it was because of his limited mental qualifications, or maybe it was because he couldn't calm down to reach a meditative state, he began to seek the help of the artifact of the Book of Truth.

As an auxiliary high-level artifact, it is limited by the refiner's highest authority, although the Book of Truth cannot communicate face-to-face with its host like intelligent beings, but similar to the electronic intelligence of previous lives, the ability to detect items, logical calculations, query information, etc., actively or passively help the owner solve some problems and doubts, can still be done.

It can be said that the existence of the Book of Truth is similar to the computer in Donald's previous life, with intelligence but no autonomous consciousness.

After the communication, the Book of Truth examined Donald's body and quickly came up with its own analysis and a relative solution for Donald's inability to find the feeling of entering a meditative state.

The host Donald's mental power potential is indeed lower than that of ordinary people, and even after fusing a soul, it has not changed much of this state.

And as an otaku, his thoughts are chaotic and his thoughts are divergent and wandering, and he has not been systematically trained, so it is difficult for him to calm down his mood in a short period of time and find the feeling of meditation. It takes a long time of training and trial to be able to do this, otherwise mages would not be such a rare profession.

After learning about his qualifications through the communication with the artifact, Donald couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"I thought that I could become the pride of the sky after crossing over, and I could grasp any magic artifact! I didn't expect that in this life, I was still a waste material!"

After a moment of decadence, Donald regained his strength.

"Hehe! Fortunately, I have the anti-heaven artifact of the Book of Truth, as long as I have energy, these difficulties are not a problem! Any genius will be trampled under my feet by the young master!"

The solution given by the Book of Truth is to increase the potential of mental power, which can be exchanged for several items from the Warcraft game in the list, such as the cheapest small purification potion, which can restore a small amount of mana, that is, mental power, and can also play a role in purifying a small negative state and increasing a little spiritual cohesion.

The most obvious effect is the cultivation book that can only be bought in special stores, the Book of Wisdom. Similar to the functions of the Book of Power and the Book of Agility, after learning the Book of Wisdom, it can directly improve the user's soul potential, including the speed of thinking and mental strength, upper limit and recovery speed.

There are also high-end magic items such as energy pendants or magic pendants, which can be worn to increase the upper limit of mental power.

However, compared to the improvement brought by using equipment, Donald is more interested in the Book of Wisdom that permanently increases his strength.

Donald looked at the exchange price of the Book of Wisdom.

Book of Wisdom +1, increasing the user's mental power potential by one level, including the speed of thinking and mental strength, upper limit and recovery speed. This is equivalent to forty percent of the potential of your current level. Requires energy for both lower elemental crystals.

And there is a strict limit on the number of times this enhancement is made, according to the rules of this world, each user can only use the Book of Wisdom once in his life if his life status does not change. This is a limit given by the rules of this world and the endurance of the user's body and soul, otherwise if it can be infinitely strengthened like in the game, then you can overthrow the gods and become the creator god yourself!

When the host has the opportunity to use the Book of Wisdom for the second time to strengthen, the energy required is 10,000 times that of the previous one, and it will increase with the strength of the body, which means that the second time the Book of Wisdom is used, at least 20,000 square meters of low-level elemental spars are needed.

In addition to the Warcraft crystal nucleus, Donald spent thirty of the fifty gold soles in his hand to buy the mage introductory book, not counting the Kod steward's control, and now there are twenty gold soles left in his hand. The market price of one side of the lower element spar is five gold soles, which means that he can also buy the four lower element spars. The Quartet Lower Elemental Crystals are only enough for him to exchange for the Book of Wisdom to strengthen it once, and he can also choose to strengthen other attributes of the same level.

"It seems that the harvest of the past few days will not last long! The Book of Truth is really a big money-burner, and the key is that I still work hard to make money! Using the special ability of the Book of Truth, I should be able to earn a lot of money!"

Speaking of this, Donald suddenly remembered a thought, got up and left the bedroom, found the butler Kod, handed the Jinsol in his hand to the other party, and asked him to go to the town to exchange for elemental spars. And go buy a cart of iron ore and come back.

The butler Kode was a little confused, and asked:

"Young Master, what do you want elemental spars and iron ore for? and there is no place in our family that needs spars, do you want to abandon your noble status and become a vulgar blacksmith?"

Donald was speechless for a moment.

"Why am I going to be a blacksmith? How much does a blacksmith make?"

Thinking that some of his secrets should also be revealed to his faithful butler, Donald straightened his face and said:

"Kode, don't you doubt why I, who was originally weak, was able to enter the Green Cloak Forest repeatedly and hunt so many magical beasts?"

Butler Kod did not have the curious question reaction that Donald expected, but smiled with satisfaction.

"When the young master grows up, he naturally has to have his own secrets, Kede is just a servant, don't go back and ask if you shouldn't ask!"

Donald's heart warmed when he heard this, and he said softly:

"Kede, you are my only relative in this world, I have always treated you as an uncle, of course I need to let you know any secrets!"

Then the voice was repeated, and he said confidently and powerfully: "Not long ago, I encountered danger in the forest, and I unexpectedly awakened the potential of mages, and I am a rare summoner among mages, this is the truth about which demonic beasts I can hunt!"

Kede listened, but his tall body trembled.

"Young Master...... You've really become a mage!"

Donald nodded solemnly.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think Clinton and the other three powerful warriors would choose to follow me, they also took a fancy to my potential and quasi-aristocratic status, so they would be willing to be loyal to Melina's retainers!"

"Haha! Great, our Merlina family is going to have a mage, and my young master is also going to become a nobleman among nobles!"

With Donald's explanation, the worries that Kede had been suppressing for the past few days completely dissipated.

Seeing the always steady Cod dancing happily there, Donald couldn't help but laugh for a while, and felt the warmth of family affection in his heart.
