Chapter 7 Learning
"I still don't recommend you do this, little El, I've seen someone who did spiritual development, and that person went crazy after development. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Besides, you are only twelve years old now, and spiritual development is very likely to fail. Medea couldn't help but persuade again. After being cured of brain overuse, Al asked Medea if she had any auxiliary methods for sensing elements, and Medea mentioned a few, but Al chose the fastest but most dangerous method.
"I've already made up my mind, teacher. Al said with a smile, and then he took out a letter, "I have written all the causes and consequences in the letter, and my father and mother should not embarrass you." He then placed the letter, the Iron Thorn Badge on his chest, and a large package on the table in front of Medea, "If you're still not sure, this Iron Thorn Badge should allow you to leave the West safely." In the package are some money I have saved and some gifts from my elders, which are not very valuable, but they can represent my heart to some extent. He bowed to Medea and said sincerely: "I know that my request has caused you a lot of trouble, maybe I will be crazy and become an idiot, but please believe that whether I am sober or not, I will definitely remember your kindness to me." ”
Medea looked at Al's persistent face and sighed, she knew it was useless to say anything now. "Sit in your chair, little Al, relax, let your guard down, and stare at this pocket watch. Medea pulled out a jet-black pocket watch and swayed it regularly in front of Al's eyes, but after a while, Al's eyes lost focus, apparently he had been hypnotized.
"Al, now think back to what you feel most painful, your suffering, your anger, your grief, the heartbreaking, the painful feeling. As she spoke, Medea put a finger against Al's head, and her fingertips shimmered with electric light.
In the study of magic, mages have long discovered that electric currents have a stimulating effect on the brain, and then mages have the idea of stimulating elemental perception through electrical magic. However, in practice, it was found that the effect was weak. Until a fortuitous event happened, a person was struck by lightning after going bankrupt, and inexplicably had elemental perception. Through research, it was found that painful emotions also play a role. Thus, "mental development" was developed as an adjunct: the use of hypnosis to recall the most painful events of life, and the use of gradually increasing electric shock stimulation to accelerate brain activity and exacerbate painful feelings. Generally speaking, strong pain is the strongest emotion, and in a short period of time, people's mental power will expand rapidly, coupled with active brain thinking, can effectively improve the possibility of perceiving elements. However, mental development is also very dangerous, and it has happened to fall into agony, have a mental breakdown, or have a strong electric shock that causes brain damage.
"What is the pain of a child who is only twelve years old, and it is easy to fail in spiritual development. Besides, you are the heir of the Iron Thorn Family, the future Lord of the West, what are you afraid of, what are you carrying, what are you carrying so risky, so desperate, dear little El. Medea squinted at Al who was sleeping in a chair, and Al who was under hypnosis looked defenseless, but Medea found that she couldn't see the little boy in front of her clearly. Mages are inherently curious creatures, and Medea is a feline woman, and coming to the Westlands as a teacher was originally a whim, but Medea found that she was more and more obsessed with El.
She wanted to know him, like she wanted to know all about him, like she sought the ultimate mystery of magic.
"Pain, sorrow, anger...... Medea's voice was as hoarse and sexy as ever, but it was like a demon's whisper in Al's mind, constantly pulling Al's consciousness into the deepest part of his memory.
"Why did you get this score, are you worthy of us, we get up early and are greedy for darkness, so that you don't have to worry about food, clothing, and you don't even need to do housework, I hope you can get a good score, and that's how you repay us!"
"Young Master Al, you go quickly, we will stop the enemy, Greel, you take the young master away. This is his first rebirth, Schegeman died in Snow Maple Town in order to drag the enemy, and Grell died in front of his eyes in order to protect himself, which is an anger at his cowardice and inaction.
"El-sama, don't be sad, this is what I should do. The dead are liberated, and the living will continue to fight, and I wish you good luck. This is his second rebirth, in a battle, a guard blocked a sword for himself and fell in front of his eyes, because of the grief of his comrades who died in battle.
Consciousness wanders in memory, all kinds of painful images come one after another, and negative emotions gnaw at the heart, like the venom of a poisonous snake seeping into the soul. Al's expression was pained, and the man slumped back in his chair as if in repentance.
"Al, Perception Element, Hurry up and Sense Element!" The voice called out one after another, what is the Perception Element? Why the Perception Element?, but the confused Al couldn't care so much, it was a rope beside the cliff, a single coat in the cold winter wax moon, and a clear spring in the depths of the desert. Al's consciousness desperately fled forward, to escape the excruciating pain, to escape the boundless darkness. Fleeing, exploring, perceiving, suddenly, the eyes lit up!
The nightmare black tide receded, and Al opened his eyes. Everything was the same as before, but everything was completely different! Al clearly sensed the existence of some kind of matter. You can't see, hear, smell, or touch, but there's no doubt that they're there!
Al sat down in his chair and laughed, laughing heartily and heartily. He finally took a step forward, and although it was not far away and still a little staggering, it was indeed a crucial step.
"Congratulations, little Al. Medea leaned over and congratulated insincerely, "Little Al, your face just now is too scary, the teacher is a little curious, what painful memories you have at the age of twelve, do you want to say it and let the confidant teacher counsel her?" Medea looked at Al with sparkling eyes.
"I'm sorry, teacher, there are some things that only have two places, in my heart or in the depths of my grave," Al pointed to his chest, and then made a standard noble salute to Medea, "Although I have said it once, please allow me to repeat it again, your help to me, I El Edward engraved in my heart. ”
The excitement of being able to sense the elements slowly faded, and Al returned to his old days of studying routinely.
"The so-called spells are actually auxiliary tools for casting spells, and through long-term practice, mages have discovered that special sounds have a peculiar effect on the elements, and different sounds will affect the gathering effect and arrangement of the elements, which leads to the generation of spells", said Perfect Dia made a demonstration, "You perceive how many elements I have gathered, little El." Without making a sound, a fireball appeared in Medea's hand, and after the fireball was dispersed, Medea let out several strange tones and condensed another fireball. "I saved about half of the elements after using the spell", "That's right, that's what the spell does." ”
After explaining the spell, Medea went on to teach El the basics of magic. "The magic circle is also an auxiliary tool for casting spells, just like paving a road, using different materials to draw patterns, so that some patterns have an impact on the gathering of elements, and some patterns restrict the movement of elements, just like building a house, so that the elements gather and arrange according to their own ideas......"
Al listened quietly, a question growing in his mind. Although he was a liberal arts student before the crossing, he still knew the basics of physics. The elements in this world are very similar to the atoms on the earth, the difference is that the mages can directly perceive and use them, but why does Medea talk about it over and over again is all about application knowledge, without touching the essence at all?
"I'm sorry, teacher, I have a few questions to ask. Why can a warrior store elements? Why does the release of elements form a magic-like phenomenon instead of scattering irregularly like a primordial stone? Why do elements cause different magical phenomena when they are arranged in different ways? Divine magic is also the use of elements, so why can it directly act on the human body and human spirit? In the final analysis, what are elements? Are elements tangible or intangible? Are there only one type of elements or are there different kinds of elements? Are there any other manifestations of elements besides the various magical phenomena known? Since the elements make up all kinds of magic, much like the phenomena of nature, is everything in the world made of elements?" El asked several questions in quick succession.
Medea looked at Al in surprise, and although Al had brought her a lot of surprises, none of them shocked her as much as she did now. She stared fiery at the little boy in front of her, her eyes like a predatory cheetah.
"Dear little El, please open the holy book on the table and read the third commandment. Medea's voice was exceptionally soft.
"The elements are a gift from the gods to the world, and they should be used with reverence and not to be sought," Al muttered, Medea's voice ringing in his ears, "The vast majority of the Inquisition are held by mages who seek the elements like you. ”
Al was silent for a moment, then slowly closed the holy text, "Teacher, I am a nobleman. Opening it when you need it and closing it when you don't need it is the rule of a nobleman, isn't it?. Al smiled a standard aristocratic smile.
"And, kind, you'll help me, won't you? You have hot, wild red hair, and a woman of this color is not a conformist. ”
Medea Merlin leaned against the window, her slender body seemed to obscure the entire sky outside the window, and the sunlight could only avoid her and spill a little in the room. "Of course. She replied softly, a bright smile on her red lips.
