Chapter 22: A True Wizard!

Brandon said slowly, "Since the first wizard appeared on the Rasmus continent nine hundred years ago, countless wizards have been pursuing the answer to this question. At first, we thought that the sorcerer's physique, like the bloodliner, was a gift from the gods to mankind. ”

Kevin's eyes lit up, his ears pricked up, and he focused his attention, quietly waiting for Brandon to lift the veil of mystery in the wizarding world.

"Ancient sorcerers once believed that it was the gods above the stars who created the sun, moon and stars, formulated the laws of the world, and controlled the life, aging, sickness and death of human beings. Brandon had a memory in his eyes.

Kevin asked suspiciously, "But.... Is there really a god in this world?"

"That's right, there are no gods in this world at all!" Brandon glanced at Kevin appreciatively, "Ninety years ago, the great wizarding leader Douglas entered the realm of gods in the form of a mortal. He discovered that the so-called gods were nothing more than powerful creatures that existed at the beginning of the world. ”

"Douglas warned the world that the operation of the laws is not affected by the will of any living being, and that the gods are no different from us. Brandon spoke faster and faster, so much so that an unusual flush appeared on his cheeks,

Douglas once said that one day he will be able to surpass the gods, stand on top of the world, and explore the secrets of the sea of stars. ”

Kevin, who sat in his chair, had a wistful look in his eyes, and he was deeply affected by Brandon's description.

Kevin's mind came up with the image of Douglas standing in the starry sky after breaking through the layers of obstacles, setting up a bold ambition to the world.

Breaking through all shackles and gaining true freedom is the ultimate goal of Kevin's heart.

Of course, Kevin hasn't even reached the knight level now, and all this is far from him.

"Under the influence of Douglas, half of today's wizards no longer worship gods. When confronted with incomprehensible phenomena, they try to solve them with knowledge. Brandon continued.

"Like you invented the lantern tree?" Kevin unconsciously used an honorific.

Brandon nodded and said, "Yes, but it's much more than that." For example, the bloodline transplant technology is the biggest achievement in the wizarding world in the past hundred years, and wizards have successfully transplanted broken bloodlines into people who have no bloodline. ”

"Since the bloodline transplant technology has been invented, why are bloodlines and wizards still two power systems now?" Kevin couldn't figure out.

"It's not that simple, bloodline transplantation not only comes with great risks, but can only inherit the power of the bloodline part. Brandon paused for a moment, took a sip of tea,

"The Great Knight and the Legendary Knight level Bloodliners are nothing, but the First-Order Bloodliners are different. Just like the bloodline of the Fire Lin Behemoth that you have, after reaching the first level, you can obtain the innate ability of the Punishment Fire, which cannot be given by the bloodline transplantation technology. Of course, I believe that one day, wizards will be able to penetrate the full mysteries of the bloodline. ”

It dawned on Kevin that in the eyes of wizards, the power of the bloodline was a complex puzzle. Through research, wizards have solved some simple problems, but there are still many mysteries that cannot be solved.

Brandon sorted out the language and put the coffin on the topic: "So, a true wizard is a group of people who believe in themselves, constantly explore the mysteries of the world, and always have a thirst for power. ”

"Is this the real wizard?" Kevin muttered to himself, Brandon's words ringing in his ears.

"Boom. ”

A stiff cane suddenly reached over and gently struck Kevin's head.

Seeing that Kevin's whole person was immersed in his own thoughts, Brandon couldn't help but smile and said, "The above are all the opinions of me, a wizard apprentice, and they may not be correct. When you follow the path of a wizard in the future, you will inevitably have your own ideas. ”

Kevin put his crutches aside, and although Brandon said a lot, he still had a lot of unanswered questions.

"So how do you become a wizard apprentice?" Kevin asked.

"Generally speaking, when you can cast a level zero spell, you can call yourself a third-class apprentice, which requires three prerequisites. Brandon took out a black ashlar and put it on the table,

"First of all, you have to have enough mental power, secondly, each spell has its own unique magic circuit, you have to construct a complete spell model in your head, and finally you need a magic stone. ”

Kevin took the magic stone in his hand and observed it repeatedly.

The magic stone was a translucent square black stone, the size of a fist, and there was a large amount of white flocculent substance inside the magic stone, as if he had seen it on Matthew and Isaac's staff.

"Isn't it possible for wizards to cast spells themselves, and must rely on magic stones?" Kevin asked as he put the magic stone back on the table, still puzzled.

"Because of the Demon Source! A person with a wizard physique, after the age of ten, a new organ will grow on the right side of the heart, and this organ is called the Demon Source, which is the source of the wizard's power. Brandon raised his cane again, pressed it against Kevin's chest, and said loudly,

"The source of magic is not only a place to store mana, but also a place to pass through the mana circuit. However, before being promoted to a full-fledged wizard, the magic source in the wizard's body was very weak and could not store mana. Since any spell requires mana, the only way to channel the magic in the stone is to rely on the staff. ”

"Huh?" Kevin hurriedly spoke, "If someone destroys the staff of a wizard apprentice, even a first-class apprentice will lose most of their combat power?"

Brandon shook his head: "Yes, for this reason, wizard apprentices have to chant for a few seconds every time they release a spell, and they have to replenish it in time after the magic power in the magic stone is exhausted. ”

With the physical fitness of the bloodliner, a few seconds in battle can completely determine life and death, and the wizard apprentice actually has such a big drawback.

Brandon looked at Kevin as if he knew what was going on in his mind:

"It's not as bad as you think. First, the wizard's spells are hugely powerful, and the corrosion technique released by a third-class wizard apprentice can corrode the skin of the knight-level bloodliner, making the bloodline lose its combat effectiveness, of course, this is on the premise that the wizard apprentice succeeds first. ”

Kevin knew in his heart that when he was in the Cold Mountain Canyon, Isaac's fireball technique could directly damage the Hulk in his alienated state.

"Second, apprentice wizards will try everything they can to increase their combat power. Arms can be transplanted to strengthen the body, or witchcraft can be worn with variable functions to change the disadvantages in battle. However, this situation cannot be completely reversed until it is promoted to the official wizard. ”
