Chapter XVII: The Formal Teaching of the Mage

Sitting cross-legged, Naxi began to listen to Angelo's teachings.

The teaching of the War Mage did not start directly with subject 8 as the previous time, and Angelo first explained to his students the origin of the War Mage.

"In fact, war mages have always been a very small minority of mages. For the vast majority of the time, mages don't even think about things like pure fighting. Even the toughest adventuring squads will have more than one skilled fighter to protect vulnerable mages. Even if they don't, some high-level mages rely on minions, pets, or golems as amulets. ”

"But if these warriors or pets who are responsible for protecting the mages are unable to fight for some reason, how can the weak mages protect themselves? Not every mage is one of those who have the power to the heavens, and they can overcome all difficulties with their absolute strength every time. ”

Angelo's words reminded Naxi of the dilemma he had when they had attacked the Thousand Wishes Realm together.

In the last moment, when he faced the dragon alone, he and Lidona were left alone. Even if he can survive the dragon's self-explosion, if he takes on any more challenges in the future, his life may be lost.

"It's not just this one that bothers mages, there are also things in this world that mages hate the most, such as the Demonic Lands. Angelo continued, "In the Magical Lands, mages can no longer rely on the omnipotent web as they used to. What should the magicians do if they encounter mortal danger in such an absolute place of death?"

It is precisely because of this concern that some magicians have begun to seek to strengthen and practice their combat skills, hoping to have more hope of survival when the crisis comes. Angelo has entered the lecture mode, impassionedly introducing the great sages who have changed their lives, "These are the pioneers of the War Mage, who have opened up a new path for those of us who come after us, and that is the War Mage. ”

Naxi wasn't very interested in this somewhat tedious science, and he waited for Angelo to teach him the most basic principles of a war mage. Although he had been in some trouble yesterday, he had spent a moment when he was bored in prison to wonder why Senior Malfoy was so quick to cast spells.

Of course, the final answer is still incomprehensible, and Naxi hopes that Angelo can explain to him why in this lesson.

Angelo's lecture continues: "The road is a journey, and thanks to the exploration of our predecessors, we can go further on this road." Despite this legend, it is undeniable that the mage is actually a new profession. Many of us used to be magicians, and my attainments in protection are not much worse than those of the academy. So at this point, I can give you a guarantee. A great mage is a great mage in many cases, but a great mage is not necessarily a great mage. ”

When he heard that Angelo was good at protective spells, Naxi's eyes suddenly lit up: "What?!Teacher Angelo, you are good at spells under protection?!Listening to your tone, you should know those seven-ring protective spells, why don't you teach me, I love to learn!"

Naxi will not let go of any opportunity to learn, since Angelo claims that he is a ** master who is good at protective spells, he will naturally be cheeky to see if there is any cheap money.

"Yes, I do know the protection spells of the Seven Rings, but I won't teach you magic other than what a mage needs. Angelo paused for a moment and said, "If you don't understand, I can explain it to you in more detail." Just like if you are now a junior magician, then you can only learn the magic of the four rings at the maximum limit. By the same token, if your battle mage strength can't keep up, I won't be able to teach you higher-level combat magic. ”

Naxi suddenly looked a little lost when she heard this, thinking that she could trick Angelo into happily teaching her mastery of magic to herself, but she didn't expect this trick to be unsuccessful.

However, Naxi thought about it, if he could raise the level of a battle mage with zero foundation to the level of his own spell casting level in a short period of time, wouldn't he be able to learn a higher level of magic.

After figuring this out, Naxi's fighting spirit was instantly filled, and he couldn't wait: "Teacher Angelo, then let's start the training of war mages quickly!"

"Wait, I haven't even explained the basic principles of a battle mage, do you need to be in such a hurry?" Angelo was happy to see Naxi's fighting spirit, "Those words just now are just a warm-up before class, and then I will talk about the real difference between a war mage and a mage." ”

Naxi focused all the experience of the whole server on Angelo's body, for fear that he would miss a word.

"You've also learned in your magic class that the reason why a magician can unleash spells that amaze mortals is because of his own communication with the magic web. We use the equivalent of trading to obtain superior power from the magic web, and to maintain this transaction is the greatest capital of our magicians themselves, magic power. ”

In order to make Naxi understand the war mage better, Angelo revisited the content of the magic tutorial for him.

"A lot of people think of magic as a magician's greatest talent, but that's not entirely true. Although a person is rich, but his means of making money are not very good, then he is not destined to be a brilliant businessman. Therefore, things like the understanding of the magic web, the understanding of magic, and the skills to release magic all restrict whether a person can become a real magician or not. ”

It has to be said that Angelo's teaching is much more clever than his previous teacher, Professor Angelo, and through the teaching of magic, Nasi is drawn to another realm.

"By the same token, half of the problems faced by mages are the same as those of mages, and that is how they should use magic to get more benefits for themselves. Of course, we don't rely too much on the web like the magicians, and even without the web we can convert the magic into what we want. Angelo kept waving his hands, pacing back and forth, and he deeply infected the students sitting on the floor with his enthusiastic teaching methods.

"I'm going to teach you a new concept, and that's the Magic Stream. Angelo paused, his eyes fixed on the student in front of him, "You probably haven't heard of the word demonic flow. ”

Naxi shook his head indifferently. Coming down from the magic surname, Naxi was a little dazed, and suddenly a term that he had never heard of suddenly appeared, and of course he couldn't answer.

Angelo motioned for Naxi to stand up: "Come on, I'll show you what the magic flow is." If you understand it, we can skip directly to subject 2. ”

PS: The next part will start to talk about some of the settings of war mages and magicians, which are all in the subsequent chapters.
