"It's really puzzling. Jude still has no intention of revealing the existence of Itinev, "Fortunately, we managed to banish it, and at a terrible price." ”

"Jude, do you think Roy will regret his actions?"

"Probably not. Do you mean to say that he deserved to die?" the boy was rather melancholy, "but he has endured so much pain for so many years, and I still think that he should have a better ending." ”

Let me be honest: it's good to think about others, but it's best to think about whether you have the qualifications and abilities to do so. Ruida still looked helpless, "At that time, was there any other way than the current situation? No, you and I can't do anything." In that case, there's no point in thinking too much. ”

In this way, Roy's death was still a little too weak, Jude couldn't help but think of Lucius who was killed in the battle for his cover, the disagreements of the Flower Blade team, and the icy night rain.

The tavernkeeper's words made the boy quite uncomfortable, but he could not refute it, and after a long silence he sighed: "Alas, you are right. I will continue to train and improve to become a qualified sword singer. ”

"Sword Singer? Reda finally put away her helpless expression and showed a familiar smile, "Your magic is that old fellow of Stanticom...... Ahem, I mean, your teacher taught you, right?"

"Of course. Mr. Stansho taught me all the basics of arcane magic, and left a magical notebook before leaving. Jude's almost "knowingly" question was a bit difficult for Jude to understand.

"That's right. You may not know it, but arcane magic was created by the Blue Dragons, a skill that harnesses the energy of a magic web. Talking about this topic, Ruida was a little excited, "Do you think there is an obvious problem with the content that your teacher taught you?"

"What's the problem?"

"Focus on theory and ignore actual combat. The tavernkeeper replied calmly, "Although I am a dragon, I have traveled around as a human for many years, and I have experienced many battles in human form, so I have a little knowledge of this. Jude, have you ever heard of 'Battle Mage'?"

The phrase "Battlemage?" sounded unfamiliar to the boy.

"A type of mage born for battle, I'm not sure if there are battle mages in the human realms, but it's very common in Elrosus. Elrosus, you know, the realm of the High Elves. "They focus on the study of spells for combat, and they have their own set of experience and are well versed in how to maximize the effects of spells in battle. The Battlemage has a similar mindset to the Sword Singer and may help you. ”

In the lobby of the tavern in the dead of night, the boy and the tavern owner chatted a lot. When he returned to the second-floor guest room and lay on the bed, he was still digesting the contents.

Standing still and chanting a spell is an act of utter folly in the eyes of battlemages, who value the speed, efficiency, and concealment of their spells. According to Ruida, battle mages often use super-magical techniques such as Spell Silence, Spell Fix, and Double Casting to create opportunities for surprise attacks.

Battlemages divide offensive spells into many categories, including slow and efficient damage spells such as Fireball, quick and easy damage spells such as Static Shock, slow and efficient control spells such as paralysis, quick and easy control spells such as Fear Gaze, field effect spells such as Freeze, cast counterspells such as Spell Steal, and so on.

Flexible use of different types of spells, and choosing the right spell at the right time, is the key to victory for battle mages.

Jude also realized that he had too few spells at his disposal, none of the spells Reda had yet to learn except for the Fireball technique.

In addition, battlemages often use a variety of spells to strengthen and protect themselves to compensate for their lack of physical training and armor.

It seems that he still has a long way to go, and as a mage, he may be able to clean up ordinary people, but there are many transcendent beings in this world, and he is often at a loss in the face of powerful opponents. In the future, I still have to study and exercise diligently, so I thought, and the teenager who had a busy day gradually fell asleep.

Time flies by after that.

The next day, Jude first went to visit Mejia, and looked at the girl's worried face, but he finally did not confess what Roy had done, and only said that he was safe and that the robbers would not appear again, so as to reassure the girl.

After returning to the tavern, the boy consulted with Reda about the magic of silent magic, and combined with the contents of Stanxiu's notes, he practiced this supermagic technique in the next few days.

If you are highly focused, it is not too difficult to recite a mantra in your mind, but it is obviously more exhausting than reciting a mantra aloud. When chanting silently, you still need to control the rate, rhythm and pitch, and do not break the original chanting pattern of the spell, otherwise it will not be successfully cast.

After repeated practice, Jude found that even in a calm state, silent spells were still slower than regular spell casting. In wartime, it is difficult to maintain a high level of mental concentration if you pay attention to your opponent out of nervousness or distraction.

Maybe after years of practice, you can become familiar with this technique, and you can do it as easily as Ruida. However, in addition to this, the boy also noticed that the silent spell also consumed more mana than usual.

Silent spells still need to be cast with gestures and other movements, and after noticing this, Jude turned to the spell fix. Imagining a spell in your mind is almost the same as chanting a spell silently, requiring the same mental concentration and slowing down the casting speed, and consuming more mana for a fixed spell.

Although the magic technique is magical, it also requires the same price. The teenager summed it up.

Another View：Joshua

Joshua had been noticing the girl at the table next to him for some time.

She was dressed in a strange way: even in the warmth of the room, she still wore a hood and a mysterious teal leather armor, and she looked like a ranger.

The young girl nibbled on pine nut bread and looked around nervously from time to time, like a wanted fugitive...... No, probably because she was worried that someone would harm her.

Could it be that she is a runaway lady, and this tavern called "Black Thorn Rose" is always a surprise.

Looking at the thin figure of the girl, Joshua suddenly became interested.

"Good evening...... Oh, my God. Joshua got up and sat down opposite the woman and greeted her, and was about to say something, when he saw an unusually delicate countenance and mysterious pointed ears hidden under the hood.

There was an elf sitting in front of him!Joshua was amazed that he was well-informed—in such a country town, Euchedante, a tavern with all kinds of customers.

It is difficult to determine the age of the elf based on his appearance, and since it is impossible to determine whether he is married or not, it is better to call him "Madame" for the sake of safety.

"Good evening, ma'am. Joshua hurriedly lowered his voice and pondered his words, rather incoherently, "Yes, good evening...... It's a pleasure to meet you here, I mean, is there anything I can do for you?"

Hearing her somewhat confused greeting, the other party was stunned at first, and then didn't seem very happy, she put down the pine nut bread, pursed her lips, and her expression was a little weird.

Could it be that he had accidentally touched some kind of taboo before?Joshua had heard of many traditions of the forest elves. Out of politeness, he calmly stared at the triangular area between the other's eyes and forehead.

After a moment of silence, the elf in front of her behaved a little squirming, and seemed to be a little angry, she whispered: "Madame, what Madame, people are not yet adults!"
