Chapter 61: Higher Apprentices
With the accumulation and talent of Elatis beyond Tongji, breaking through the higher apprenticeship was a matter of course—although in his opinion, the canal was a little too slow to complete.
Opening up the initial sea of spiritual consciousness to accommodate the existence of magic power, this is the first step into the path of magic, and in the accumulation of meditation and cultivation to improve spiritual power, open up the capacity of the sea of consciousness, at the same time, so that the thin magic power continues to condense into drops, is the process that every mage must go through, this is the transformation from gaseous magic to liquid magic, and when the magic changes again, that is, from the liquid state to the solid state, it is considered to have truly stepped into the door of magic.
The level of advanced apprentice is the transition stage to the formal magician, in this stage, reaching the overflowing sea of pure magic will condense the magic in the direction of the solid state because of the transition accumulation, the condensed solid magic power means compressing the total volume of the magic power, the advanced apprentice needs to continue to replenish the magic power at this stage, so that this pressure is maintained, so as to condense more solid magic power, when the total amount of solid magic power reaches a certain proportion, it will make the appearance of the spiritual sea of consciousness fundamentally change, and that is the time to step into the formal magician。
And this condensation speed completely depends on the capacity of the spiritual sea of consciousness and the strength of the spiritual power, that is to say, the greater the capacity of the spiritual consciousness sea, the more magic power is needed to fill the sea of consciousness, and the slower the speed of condensing and filling the liquid magic power and condensing the solid magic power, and the smaller the sea of consciousness, the faster the speed of completing this process - filling a well and filling a lake, if you compare the water and effort required to fill the two, there is no suspense at all.
Latis's spiritual consciousness undoubtedly belongs to the "very large" level, which is why he obviously has such a high talent, starting point, and conditions, and it took so long to break through to the advanced apprenticeship after the sudden explosion of spiritual power.
Thankfully, after becoming a high-level apprentice, his powerful spiritual power can also play a more efficient auxiliary role in the process of compressing mana, and the speed of condensing solid mana should be much faster.
Of course, the speed of breakthrough is indeed much faster for mage apprentices with small capacity to know the sea, but the benefits of large capacity are much greater than the former, because this is a huge difference in the foundation, the speed of breakthrough in the early stage is fast, but the road in the future will be narrower and narrower, and even a mage who has laid a deep foundation in the early stage will go wider and faster······ Even if we don't talk about the future, at the same level, the difference in strength between the two in all aspects is huge.
That's why some mages can cast a large number of high-intensity spells at hand, and can even cast spells beyond the level, while some mages can barely reach the normal standard power when they even concentrate on casting the best spells, which is completely inferior to the spells that come out of the former's hand.
The choice of carving out a narrow but quick shortcut, or enduring anguish to pave a path to the future, is actually a fork in the road that all mages must face.
Whether to go forward first to gain the power in front of you, gain more life and resources, and then spend more energy to continue to seek a breakthrough, or to prepare for the future at the beginning, these two choices are not the difference between wise and unwise, but a question to be answered according to your own conditions - if you are an older apprentice who is about to reach the best breakthrough deadline and has no time to lay a foundation for you, you will definitely break through first and then jump to a higher platform before thinking about the future, right?
Having said so much, in fact, it is to show that it is already a very rare and even envious and envious superior situation for Radis to maintain this breakthrough speed with the most solid foundation at his current age, but he himself is unaware of this, and he has repeatedly thought that his breakthrough speed is too slow, and it is not comparable to the progress speed of divine arts.
Without further ado, the next morning, Radis walked out of the room refreshed, as if nothing had changed at all, the phenomenon of the elemental activity that should have been caused by the breakthrough of the high-level apprentice had not happened, which showed that he had completely consolidated his own realm - this was one of the benefits brought by the strength of his spiritual power much higher than his own magic level.
However, Albert could see through his current state at a glance, and while enjoying a hearty breakfast, he said congratulations lightly and asked, "How does it feel to step into a new realm?"
Latis sat down in his place, took a sip of hot milk, and picked up the knife and fork: "Well, it's not bad······ Well, it's actually a bit unaccustomed, and now you can feel some magical elements in the air even if you don't exert mental power, but they don't seem to be very obedient, and there are a lot of impurities in the sea of magic - sorry, I know I shouldn't use this adjective, but they do look alike. ”
"Normal, if you can get them obediently, they're full-fledged magicians now, and as for the impurities—when they start to settle down and form land, you'll want them to be as many as possible. ”
"I can already imagine a new continent in my mind, and it's a wonderful feeling, but I don't know what will become of it in the end, will it become a whole world?"
Albert teased him rarely, "Yes, if you can become a legendary mage." ”
"Well, when I didn't ask. ”
Ladison lost his high spirits—it was a little too far for him now, anyway.
He changed the subject at the right time: "By the way, there is actually one thing I wanted to ask you a long time ago, Dad, the people from the church came to see you that day, right? It seems that you have a good conversation, in fact, I didn't expect you to help him to this extent at first." ”
Casting an enchantment over the entire outer forest for a long time doesn't seem like Albert's style, or rather, Ratis never thought his dad was such a helpful and good person.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's relying on the manor's defense system, but it just expands the scope of the external Lost Enchantment, and it doesn't take much effort, the formal professional will be lost in the forest, but he can't trap the extraordinary powerhouse. ”
"That's enough, isn't it?"
"It doesn't matter, it's better to sell a favor, after all, the other party represents the strongest force in this plane, and it's always good for you, and after I leave, it's up to you to decide the maintenance of the enchantment, anyway, I've already taught you how to control it, but since you've broken through, I think it's better for you to set off early, this trip to the troubled waters, it's okay not to go." ”
"It's okay, it's a rare opportunity for me after all, let me save more capital before studying, I guess I won't have time to collect the power of faith after I go to the academy······ Don't worry, I'll stop in moderation, don't you still have the puppet you prepared? ”
"I'm a little relieved when you say that······"
"How about some more props for me?"
"Yours are all ready. ”
"Eh, I'm just talking······ You won't ······."
"Well, it's just these two days. ”
"So fast······"
The atmosphere at the table slowly became quiet, except for the sound of knives and forks touching porcelain plates.
What's going on with this atmosphere, it's clear that neither of us is hypocritical, right?
Ratis complained, then stiffly changed the subject again: "Ah, by the way, Daddy, what do you think of the 'Son of Dawn' of the church, what do you think of others?"
"It's not bad, it's supposed to be a good person to get along with. ”
"You know that's not what I'm asking. ”
"Well, he is an ambitious man, but fortunately, he also seems to be a principled man. ”
"Ambition?"
Latis was stunned.
Indeed, he is obviously a prospective saint with a high status, and there should be no problem in whatever position he wants, the church has so many powerful armed forces, and there are obviously better options for his identity, but he prefers to start from scratch and form a new paladin order with his own hands, if he has no ambition, no one with a discerning eye will believe it, right?
"I think ambition is actually a good thing.
Now, I'm full, I'll go to town and have a look, I should be back early today, probably. ”
···········
Albert glanced at the back of Radice who disappeared in the doorway, smiled, looked at the ring on his hand, and had some nostalgia and emotion in his eyes:
Leah, although our child looks like a little adult, maybe he is a little guy who is not worrying······ However, let him decide what the future will be, you shouldn't blame me for letting it go, right?
