――――――――
At dinner, the three members of the Baruch family and the housekeeper 'Ciri' had dinner together, and little Wharton was also jubilant at the table, making the living room laugh constantly. When dinner was over, and the old butler Ciri went to bed with Wharton in his arms, Lynley began to talk to his father Hogg.
"By the way, father, magician or warrior, which one is more powerful?" Lin Lei asked.
Hogg glanced at Lin Lei, smiled, and then shook his head: "Lin Lei, a magician and a warrior, each has its own strengths. In terms of strength alone, magicians and warriors of the same level should be slightly superior to magicians. And most importantly...... The status of a mage is extremely high, one level higher than that of a warrior. For example, the eighth-level dual-line magician just now, in terms of status alone, I'm afraid that even the ninth-level warrior is slightly weaker than him. ”
"The strength is slightly superior, why is the status so much worse?" Lin Lei was puzzled.
Hogg smiled: "Before this, you must first understand the classification of magicians, magicians are divided into nine levels, the first and second levels are junior magicians, the third and fourth levels are intermediate magicians, and the fifth and sixth levels are advanced magicians. And the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels above them, these three levels are all extremely terrifying, and of course, there are also Sanctuary magicians above the ninth-level magicians!"
"The reason why mages have a high status is because they are extremely destructive. Hogg picked up a glass of juice and took a sip of it.
"Destructive power?" Lin Lei looked at his father.
Hogg put down the cup, nodded and said: "A warrior, even a dragon-blooded warrior, can only kill nearly a hundred enemies with a sword, once facing an army of millions, at most kill the commander, but if a commander dies, the enemy can change to a new commander." And what about the Sacred Magician? A forbidden magic can destroy a city, destroy hundreds of thousands of troops, and hundreds of thousands of armies are gone, so what's the use of the commander still alive? For a country, the Sacred Realm Magician is more terrifying than an army. ”
Lin Lei suddenly understood.
"Not to mention the Sacred Domain mage, it is an eighth-level and ninth-level magician, and they can exert amazing power in war. Therefore, the status of the magician is extremely lofty. Hogg said with a nonchalant smile.
Lin Lei nodded slightly.
In the 'war'-themed Magnolia Continent, it is conceivable that the status of magicians is so high.
"Oh, by the way, father, I remember reading in a book that magicians are weaker than warriors. But I saw the magician jump off the back of the velociraptor with ease...... Do you say his body is weak?" asked Lin Lei.
Hogg replied: "This question will be discussed later, Lin Lei, you should know that ordinary people on the Magnolia Continent have a lifespan of one hundred and twenty or thirty years. Most of the powerful magicians and warriors have a relatively long lifespan, generally two or three hundred years old, or even three or four hundred years old, and the highest human life span is five hundred years old. ”
Lin Lei nodded.
He had seen this in books.
"But Lin Lei, do you know that powerful magicians and warriors have a long lifespan?" Hogg then asked.
Lin Lei was stunned.
A powerful magician and warrior, with a lifespan of three or four hundred years, Lin Lei took this as a 'matter of course', and didn't think about the reason at all.
Seeing Lin Lei's expression, Hogg couldn't help laughing: "Lin Lei, first of all, I want to tell you that there are fire attributes, water attributes, wind attributes, earth attributes, thunder attributes, light attributes, The elements of the dark attribute and other major attributes, whether it is a magician or a warrior, are all absorbed from the elements between heaven and earth to cultivate, which also leads to the fact that whether it is magic or fighting spirit, it is all containing attribute differences, if you look closely, you can find that the fighting spirit of the red-haired strong man led by the four male warriors of the mercenary squad just now is the fighting spirit of the fire attribute fighting spirit. Among the other three, there are wind attribute fighting qi and water attribute fighting qi...... Fighting spirit is divided into attributes, and magic is also divided into attributes!"
From birth to the present, Lin Lei understood for the first time that it turned out to be ...... Magicians and warriors absorbed the same elements of heaven and earth.
"The reason why powerful magicians and warriors have a relatively long lifespan is that they have a long lifespan. This is because when a magician absorbs the elements between heaven and earth into his body, and when he refines them into 'magic power', those elements flow in his body and are naturally absorbed by various organs, muscles, and bones in his body. So that the magician's physique is getting better and better, and the better the physique, the longer the natural lifespan. In the same way, when warriors cultivate Dou Qi, they also absorb the elements between heaven and earth, and refine them into 'Dou Qi' in their bodies. The elements circulate in the body, which also improves the physique. The more powerful the warrior, the better the physique and the longer the natural lifespan. Hogg made it all clear.
Lin Lei suddenly realized in his heart.
According to my father, the magician's body has also been improved by the elements of heaven and earth, and the body is very good.
"Father, but why do others say that the magician is weak?" Lin Lei wondered.
Hogg shook his head and said, "I still don't understand this? Saying that the mage is weak is not that he is really weak, but that compared to warriors of the same level, his body has become a 'weakness'. For example, an eighth-level magician, although his body has not been cultivated, he can still catch up with second- and third-level warriors. However, compared to the eighth-level warriors, the body of the eighth-level magician is weak. ”
Lin Lei patted his head and smiled embarrassedly.
I didn't even think about such a simple question, and I really thought rigidly.
"However, although the mage is not good at hand-to-hand combat, the mage also has a way to deal with it, one is to cast a magic shield, such as the 'earth shield', 'ice shield', 'wind shield', 'light shield' and so on...... , first with defensive magic to resist, then with attack magic!"
"And the powerful magician, there is another way, to subdue the 'Demonic Beast'!"
Hearing this, Lin Lei's eyes lit up.
Lin Lei also wanted to subdue a magical beast in his heart, such as a powerful velociraptor dragon.
"Powerful beasts are enough to protect the mage, so that enemies can't get close to him. In this way, the magician can cast a powerful spell and kill the opponent directly. Hogg smiled.
Lin Lei immediately said eagerly: "Father, how can I subdue a demonic beast?"
Seeing Lin Lei's expression, Hogg couldn't help but smile and said, "There must be two conditions to subdue a demonic beast. The first is to make the monster willingly surrender to you, and the second is that you must arrange a soul contract magic circle to make the monster your slave. ”
"The first condition is very difficult, to make the Demon Beast surrender willingly, I am afraid that only by defeating it head-on will it be willing. For example, if you want to subdue a velociraptor or a velociraptor first, you must first defeat the velociraptor before you can do it. Father's words made Lin Lei speechless for a while.
You want to subdue the velociraptor yourself, but do you have the strength to defeat the velociraptor yourself?
"The second condition, to arrange the soul contract magic array, this magic array is very troublesome, at least you have to reach the seventh level of magician, you have enough strength to arrange it. Hogg said solemnly.
Lin Lei was stunned: "Father, according to what you say...... Isn't it only a seventh-level magician, or a higher-level magician, who can subdue a demonic beast?"
"No, not necessarily. If you have enough money, you can buy the 'Soul Contract' scroll, and then you only need to shred it to form a 'Soul Contract Magic Array'. It's just that the 'Soul Pact' scroll is expensive. Hogg laughed to himself.
"How expensive?" Lin Lei asked.
"The last time I heard about it, it was 10,000 gold coins a scroll, and it was still priceless. Hogg's words made Lin Lei smile bitterly in his heart.
The hardest thing to subdue a monster is to defeat it.
Of course, you can subdue the weak demonic beasts, but what is the use of subduing the weak demonic beasts? Do you have enough ability to defeat the powerful demonic beasts? If you use conspiracy and trickery, how can you make the demonic beasts willing?
Willing to surrender is not simple.
And the second condition, which seems to be secondary, is to arrange the soul contract magic array. This condition also determines that those who can subdue the demonic beasts are either powerful magicians or those who are rich. Spending 10,000 gold coins to buy a 'Soul Contract' magic scroll is a nobleman, and he doesn't dare to be so extravagant if he doesn't have enough money.
Lin Lei pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
"If I really want to subdue the Warcraft, with our family's economic situation, I can only become a seventh-level magician, and then go to the path of subduing the Warcraft. Lin Lei thought to himself in his heart, and Lin Lei himself knew that this road was difficult.
The first level of this path is whether you have the 'talent' to become a magician!
After all, that's only one in 10,000 hopes, and if you don't even have talent, you can't become a magician at all.
