Chapter 7: Magic and Doglegs Must Be Useful
I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling, a cheap room made of wood, and some of the burrs under the bed had not been shaved clean, and I felt a little uncomfortable. The pillow under the head and the quilt on the body are also panicked because they are rough.
"Master Allen, wake up. A child's voice ran out of my room, and from the malnourished back, he was probably my No. 1 dog-legged mouse. Countrymen don't pay much attention to it, and when they are born, they call it what they see, and it is said that there is a dung truck that happened to be pushed out of the window when they were born... Alas, it's miserable.
A somewhat nervous woman walked in, usually scolding the rat in a sharp voice, but today she was quite nervous and didn't have time to pay attention to the rat.
"Master Allen, are you okay?, will you be hungry, I cooked a little broth..."The mother mouse said with a little nervousness, while asking the mouse who looked like it was about to drool to hand over a bowl of soup, which was basically a clear soup made of white water and a little bit of jerky, but it should already be a good treat for families with poor family backgrounds.
"Thank you, Auntie, I'm fine. Did something happen?" I said and sat up reluctantly, my head still tingling, but barely able to move. I just remember that I was practicing magic at that time... By the way, I know how to do magic! I'm a first-order magician!
The first-order mage entry standard is to be able to perform basic skills such as fire, water polo, earth wall and wind art, and the second-order mage entry standard is to be able to skillfully perform two or more types of magic. Third-order magicians are even simpler, they can cast magic that exceeds ten meters and can kill living beings, and ants do not count. That's why it's generally necessary to be third-order to be considered a strong entry, the magic you cast can't attack from a distance, and three or five big men can suppress you.
Wait, so I'm a first-order or a third-order now? Although the water polo technique I performed by myself was only a beginner-level magic, if it hit a person, even if that person was fully armored, he would probably have to lie on the bed for the rest of his life.
"I don't know what happened, but I heard from the rat that he went to the mountains to find fruit to eat, and then he saw you doing magic, and then he fell down inexplicably. He found a few children playing nearby, and together they carried you back, and they almost didn't scare me to death. The mother rat seemed to see that I was fine, and finally stopped being so nervous, and after a little relief, she told me what had happened.
"It should just be an overexertion, it's fine. It is written in the book that magic must be controlled by mental power, and using magic that exceeds the upper limit of one's mental power control is easy to cause headaches and coma, and even more serious may even cause damage, but it seems that it should not have reached this point.
I barely stood up, and I couldn't suppress the joy in my heart and laughed.
It turns out that the magic of this world is like this, although there are still some experiments to be done, but if my assumption is correct, then not to mention that I can learn magic, as long as I go through my own teaching, maybe ordinary civilians can also learn magic, without using the basic magic textbook of the cheat. Even under his own imagination, maybe the existing magic can greatly increase the power, just like others can only wash their faces with water balloons, and they can smash people away with water balloons.
After thanking myself for taking care of myself who had passed out, I rejected the mouse mother who was about to support me, and I was about to walk out.
"Mouse, I'm afraid I'll faint again on the road, you can go back with me." When the rat heard someone call him, he almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, and after swallowing it quickly, he almost choked.
"Mouse, you just go along, remember to listen to Master Allen. The mother rat seemed to be a little reluctant to speak, but she agreed to let the rat follow me back.
The mouse quickly swallowed the soup and stood nervously in front of him, with a smile on his dirty face, as if he didn't care too much about being called, but was still a little happy.
We two children walked on the street, although the clothes were a little muddy, but the temperament was noble, swaggering, the other was dirty, cowering, the two of them walked on the street attracted a lot of strange eyes.
When I got home, I reported to my mother and grandmother what happened today, there is no secret in the neighborhood, even if I want the mother of the mouse to keep it a secret today, but maybe the rumor that his son saved me in a few days... It's not a rumor, it's going to get out. The so-called confession is lenient, and the bottom of the prison ... That's not how this phrase is used.
Vessy's mother worriedly helped me make a whole body simple, probably to the extent of stripping naked and taking a shower. Grandma Emma didn't react much.
"If you want to learn magic, you will definitely go through many setbacks, and your father went into the mountains several times to fight the beasts before he stepped into the third order. However, some people cross this threshold as soon as they cross it, and some people can't enter it for the rest of their lives. Grandma has never studied magic, so she has nothing to teach you, she can only tell you a common saying, you have to suffer hardships to become a master. Grandma Emma seemed to think of Andre's father, and turned back to secretly wipe away her tears.
As a good child, of course I said yes, not to mention, after Grandma Emma beat me, her attitude towards herself was much better, is this the opposite of things?
After being bathed by the maid, I left the mouse for dinner, and the mouse nibbled on the bread with an astonishing momentum, and was pulled into his room after the mouse was lucky enough not to swallow his tongue. But I always feel that my mother and grandmother look at me a little strangely? No, maybe I am very strange.
"Mouse, did you see me using magic at that time, what did you see?" I asked earnestly as I pulled the curious mouse to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Hmm—" The mouse groaned, as if remembering what had happened.
"At that time, all I saw was you holding a black stone against the river, and then suddenly a water ball floated on the surface of the river, and the water ball smashed out. Then you fell, and it took me a lot of effort to drag you back. The mouse said bluntly.
"Mouse, can you describe it specifically, for example, did you see what lifted the water balloon?" I asked seriously. Hopefully I'm right in my guess about the magic, and if I'm right, then the rat must feel something.
"Something seems to have lifted the water balloon... By the way, the hand, it was a big hand that lifted the water balloon. The mouse clapped his hands and laughed, as if he was happy to finally remember himself.
"..."I was silent for a moment.
What I was able to guess was that the rat could feel what was lifting the balloon, but what I didn't guess was that the rat was able to describe exactly as a hand. This means that the rat is indeed gifted with magic, even if he can't use the basic magic textbook at home, but the ability to accurately sense magic is already the first step in my magic philosophy... Although I am only in the first step. However, do you want to teach magic to rats like that?
Although he hesitated, it was a fact that the rat saved himself after all, and teaching him magic was barely a reward. And I also have selfish intentions, I want to become the strongest man in the future, and I will deal with everything by myself, although the mouse is thin but obedient, it is barely a dog.
"Mouse, I ask you, do you want to be a magician? 」
"I don't want to. The mouse lay comfortably on my bed, hiding in the sheets and looking at me with only one pair of eyes, really like a big mouse.
I feel that my head seems to be hurting again, everyone else is Wang Ba's anger is exposed, and the younger brothers have come to the court, why do I want to accept a mouse as a dog's leg here It will take a few twists and turns.
"Rat, if you stay in your hometown, you will only be able to farm with your father for the rest of your life, and you will only be able to eat black bread and light broth for the rest of your life. But if you can learn magic, not only can you eat fluffy white bread and fragrant cream soup, but you can also be promoted and raised, promoted to CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and go to the peak of life, think about it, is it still a little exciting. I tried to convince the rats that there was no such thing as a dog or a dog, and that a rat could not be subdued.
"All-you-can-eat bread?"
"Yes!"
"All-you-can-eat soup?"
"What's wrong with that. 」
"Okay then. Brother Allen, hurry up and blow the candles, it's late and it's time to go to bed. 」
After saying that, the mouse turned over comfortably and quickly fell asleep, but I was stunned on the spot.
I smiled wryly, I was so excited about a little child, I knew that if I gave him more white bread for dinner, he would agree to anything. Blowing the candle and holding the emaciated mouse, I fell asleep.
