"For example, the lights above our heads, the furniture, or some pots and pans are the products of science and technology. We can't live without technology, we need mages to defend our homes, but our homes are built without technology, people live in buildings built by machines, and travel with the help of vehicles, ships, and spaceships. The books you see should also have some content that talks more or less about the technology of the world. Humans are smart and have invented countless things, from everyday objects to rockets and satellites. After more than 3,000 years of development, the level of human science and technology has been raised higher and higher, and the emergence of magic has accelerated this speed, and there are many fields today that are invented mixed with magic. I am telling you this for the sake of your future plans, and one day you should also go out and live in the world for a long time. ”

"Grandpa, I feel like this kind of life is pretty good. Luo Miao said suddenly.

Old Man Luo squinted his eyes and looked at him deeply, the corners of his mouth seemed to be hooked, he shook his head and said: "Hehe, how can people not blend into the crowd all their lives, and now I will tell you about it, just to get you a preventive shot." Go ahead, read your book. ”

"Oh. Luo Miao scratched his scalp in confusion and continued to read his book, with his experience that he had not yet integrated into the world, it was really difficult to understand the deep meaning contained in Old Man Luo's words.

After reading the book for a while, Luo Miao quickly became fascinated, and the words that Old Man Luo said were slowly abandoned by him.

This lasted for nearly half a month, and the rest of the day's housework was either in a daze or reading, and the other half day was repeated every day to do exercise, and from time to time I had to deal with Old Man Luo's new methods. He spent a short time in the evening under the instruction of Old Man Luo, and the rest of the time was his personal time, but he spent almost all of his time reading books.

This kind of life is very ordinary, monotonous but not boring, Luo Miao, who has continued to live like this, finally took a turn one day.

......

"Grandson, where are you going?" Old Man Luo called out to Luo Miao, who was about to go out.

"Ahh Luo Miao replied that this point was almost his daily exercise time.

"No, there's another thing to do today. Old Man Luo said with a smile, "Come back and sit on the side." ”

Looking at the expression on Old Man Luo's face, Luo Miao felt a slight sense of unhappiness in his heart, and he couldn't help but think: Grandpa shouldn't have come up with anything else weird, right?

Looking at Luo Miao, who turned back, Old Man Luo took out an item from the side and asked him, "Grandson, do you know what this is?"

Looking at a milky white crystal in front of him that was the size of a fist and a stone, Luo Miao shook his head honestly.

Old Man Luo picked up this milky white crystal and put it flat in front of his eyes: "No attribute low-level magic crystal." Before I get into this, I'm going to give you an idea of what a magic crystal is, which is a product that resembles an ore and is usually condensed in places where the magical element is strong.

It is a condensation of magical elements, a spar that has been slowly condensed by nature over a long period of time. Absorbing magic crystals of the same attribute can provide mages with more and purer magical elements, thus quickly increasing their cultivation speed. The grade of the magic crystal is divided into low-level, medium-level, high-level and extreme, and the more advanced the magic crystal, the more magical elements it contains, and the purity is also higher.

The resources of the magic crystal are very small, so its price is inevitably very high, and the non-attribute magic crystal in my hand is the most expensive existence in the type of magic crystal, because it can be absorbed by mages of any attribute; Because the Attributeless Crystal has such a strange effect, this Magic Crystal is usually not included in the list of consumables, and it can help humans create a batch of mages early. ”

Luo Miao swallowed a mouthful of saliva carefully and asked softly, "So ......"

"So grandson, are you ready?" asked Old Man Luo, shaking the ash of his cigarette.

Luo Miao immediately burst into fine sweat on his forehead, I don't know why, this kind of awakening magic should have been something that others couldn't ask for, but in front of Luo Miao's eyes, an inexplicable resistance rose in his heart, and there seemed to be a villain in his heart saying: Take it away, take it away!

Looking at Luo Miao, whose face changed, Old Man Luo continued: "Take this opportunity to explain to you by the way." The ancestors discovered from a long time ago that the younger a person is, the more difficult it is to become a mage, and this result gradually decreases with age, and after a period of research, the ancestors discovered the reason.

The magical elements floating around us seem to be calm, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, once absorbed into the body by a human who has not become a mage, it becomes as manic as a wild horse on the loose, and those who have not yet awakened their magic certainly cannot control these manic magical elements. The reason why it is difficult to become a mage is actually an autonomous protection mechanism of our human body, because the younger a person is, the more fragile the body, and in the face of the manic magic elements in the body, only the physique of an adult can support it.

After a period of exploration, the ancestors also discovered the minimum age requirement for practicing magic - sixteen years old.

Therefore, it was during this period that humans really began to practice magic, not from a young age. The exercises I have arranged for you are just to improve your physical fitness, but also to kill your time, because you are almost sixteen years old. After this period of training to build up the strength of your body, I think you should have reached this minimum standard. ”

Hearing Old Man Luo's words, Luo Miao understood, but his face immediately turned pale: He didn't want to be a mage......

Old Man Luo's pipe knocked on Luo Miao's head, "Although I don't understand why you are resistant to becoming a mage, I tell you, unless you don't have any talent, this is an irresistible result for anyone." Human beings need the existence of mages, relying on mages to fight for this place of survival on the earth, although the current era is not as cruel as before, but the desolate demons are still crisscrossing all corners of the world, useful people dedicate their strength to the society, this is a feedback to those heroes who have fought for us bloodily!"

"Grandpa, you don't have to put such a big hat on me, I didn't say no, although I don't understand how the resistance in my heart came from, but I will do as you tell me. Luo Miao said.

Old Man Luo said lightly: "It's just a wake-up call with you." What I just said is not all, in the world, only strength can be the capital of a peaceful life, no one can protect your safety at all times, and your own strength is your most solid support. The key to becoming a mage is to protect yourself! This world is much more dangerous than you think. ”

“...... Oh, I see, Grandpa. Luo Miao nodded as if he didn't understand, since grandpa said so, then he should do what grandpa said.

He looked at the milky white magic crystal in front of him, and asked, "Grandpa, what should I do next?"

Old Man Luo handed the attributeless magic crystal in his hand to Luo Miao's hand and said, "Hold this magic crystal with both hands, close your eyes and fantasize about absorbing the energy of this magic crystal from the palm of your hand." ”

"Oh. Luo Miao complied.

He clasped his hands together and closed his eyes fantasizing about absorbing the energy of the crystal from his palm.

After half a ring......

"Grandpa, no response. ”

"Time is too short, try again. ”

After another moment......

"Grandpa, there's still no response. ”

Old Man Luo: "......"

"Grandpa, am I not talented?"

Old Man Luo slapped Luo Miao's head: "My thoughts are too mixed! Close my eyes and think about it, don't think about other things." You give me the illusion that my body is falling into a bottomless abyss, and then at the same time give me the concentration to feel this crystal. ”

Luo Miao, who was slapped in the face, grinned and didn't dare to think about anything else, and honestly followed Old Man Luo's words.

Imagine that your body is falling into a bottomless abyss...... Concentrate on feeling the magic crystal......

Time passed slowly, and this feeling was stretched on Luo Miao's body at this time, and as he fantasized without distractions, his body seemed to really begin to fall, falling into a dark abyss that he couldn't see, and at the same time, his consciousness was slowly disappearing...... However, with all his mind focused on the magic crystal in his hand, he didn't notice his own situation.

After a period of waiting, just when Old Man Luo had a little doubt about whether Luo Miao really had no magical talent, a change appeared.

The milky white magic crystal in Luo Miao's hand suddenly emitted some trace fluorescent light, these white lights were very weak, but the sharp-eyed Old Man Luo still noticed it for the first time, and his eyes froze: It's started!

This is the first stage of the generation of the person who turns on the magic, and this stage means that the person who has turned on the magic has entered a meditative state.

The second stage is to determine your own department, and the department of magic is not up to you.

The third stage, the last stage, and the most difficult stage, is to absorb the energy of the non-attribute magic crystal and break through to become a first-order mage! This stage is a very painful process for people who open magic, because the energy of the magic crystal will quickly flow through their bodies, opening meridians for their bodies to provide magic flow, and this kind of shaping is definitely a huge pain for people who open magic!
