Chapter 155: Battle Circle
"It's a quick way to improve your strength, and it would be nice if there was such a way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info We mages will not always live and work in fear under the obscenity of the Holy Sect, and we will not always have so many troubles in this world. The old mage shook his head and said.
"Of course I know that it is very difficult to improve my strength quickly, and I want to know if there is any way to master a certain amount of power without such a strong talent. Al came up with his own idea.
"That's right. The old mage led him to a row of bookshelves, pointed to the books on them, and said, "Most of the things in this world are equivalent exchanges, and you have to pay what you want to get. For example, a powerful mage like Medea, the way she gains power is through her talent, Sheldon is through a long period of study, and if you want to gain power in a short period of time without talent, then you can only use external forces. ”
"The so-called external force is the magic circle, through the cherished materials, long-term arrangement to obtain a powerful power for a while, you have been studying with Sheldon for a while, but what you learn is basically for research, and the magic circle books here are loaded with how to release powerful spells, I think it will help you. ”
"Are you going to start a period of study in the dark again?", Al looked at the row of thick books on the shelves, many of which were as thick as the "Ci Hai" on the earth, and his heart rose to challenge the fighting spirit, and he saluted the old mage.
"Thank you for helping me, and please apologize to Mr. Sheldon for not living up to his expectations. Al knew what Sheldon had taught him so much magic research for, and he had expectations for himself, but unfortunately he had failed to live up to his expectations.
"I said to you when I handed you that book, little El, do you remember?", the old mage asked.
"The path is your choice, and you bear the consequences. Al replied quickly, the old mage's solemn expression was still fresh in his mind, and Al still remembered it.
The old mage stretched out his right index finger, drew a half circle on the dense books, and said: "Little El, you see that there are so many books, if they are all stacked, I am afraid that they will be like a small mountain, but this mountain is the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors, and it has not been able to break through the door of many truths, the more we study, the more we can feel the greatness of this world and our personal insignificance, and it is really an impossible task to explore this world alone." ”
But such a small individual also has his own side of the world, with his own joys and sorrows. For some, exploring the world is all he has, and he can give everything for it, ignoring everything around him. For some people, magic, or truth, is far from being the whole thing in his heart, and there are more important people or things in his heart. ”
"So little Al, you don't have to apologize, neither of these two people is right or wrong, and the world is not black and white, or that sentence: the path is chosen by yourself, and the consequences are borne by yourself. Think it through, and then be brave enough to do it, as long as you don't regret the decision you made today. ”
"I see. Al nodded, "Don't worry, it's a deliberate decision. ”
"Again, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time, the old man has nothing else, only a lot of free time, but Sheldon and I are not mages who are proficient in combat, I'm afraid I can't help you too much." The old mage patted Al and slowly turned away.
Al looked at the back of the old mage, and a warm current flowed through his heart, saying that "there is only a lot of free time", for an old man, isn't the most precious thing is time? Al turned his head to look at the books on the shelves, and secretly encouraged himself in his heart: "Come on, take out your strength in the college entrance examination, there are still things in this world that you can't learn?"
"How to Use Compound Magic Alone", "The Simplified Release of Thirty Fire Magics", "How to Use Magic to Save Mental Power Efficiently", "No Longer Rely on Talent, Release Techniques for Advanced Magic", Al looked at it a little bit, but was not very satisfied, most of the books talk about the release of more advanced magic through magic circles, but these skills are a bit chicken for Al.
Normally, this kind of circle is used for special purposes and special occasions, such as killing fixed targets within a limited range, or high-level magic used in warfare, etc., but Al is looking for a circle that can be used in actual combat and can adapt to most situations. For example, the book "The Simplified Release of Thirty Types of Fire Magic", it seems that there are a lot of thirty kinds, but it is only limited to fire magic, what if you have to use water magic in battle?
Al looked at the two bookshelves, estimated that most of the day had passed, and his stomach was so hungry that he screamed, and finally let him see a dazzling title: "How to Break Through the Bottleneck?
How do you get a mage to cast advanced magic that exceeds his limit? It is generally accepted that there are two methods, one is an extremely high concentration of elements, which makes the magic easier to release by increasing the activity of the elements, but the magic released in this way is more unstable and more likely to fail. Most of the books that Al had hurriedly flipped through before were all about this method.
How to attract the elements is relatively simple, but the real difficulty is how to maintain the stability of the magic cast, which is also the mystery of the different magic circles. Generally speaking, earth magic is the most stable, because it has a fixed form after release, and fire magic is the most likely to fail to release, because the form is not fixed, the external high temperature is high, and it is also destructive, so it is quite unstable, and after the release, wind magic is the most difficult to control, because the air flow is easy to escape, and the control of the air flow requires a high level of mental power, while water magic is relatively mediocre.
As a result, among the spellbooks Al has read, fire magic and wind magic are the most discussed, because most mages want to break through where they are difficult, and it is easier to innovate. And the least is not earth and water magic, but the magic of derivative factions such as electricity and ice, because to use the magic circle to release high-level derivative faction magic, it is not easy to release success, easy to fail, and it is not easy to control after release, mages recognize that this type of magic is best not to use magic circles to opportunistically, or to rely on their own strength to release, in order to ensure safety.
