The empire stationed troops outside the Nareg capital, nominally protecting the vassals, but it was well known to everyone that it was a means of deterring and preventing rebellions. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Of course, this army has a plan for what to do with the city after it takes over, what to do with the body of the young king in a room in the guild hall, the royal family, the magnates, and the army...... Nothing to worry about anymore from Roy or Dieter.

There is only one day of public presentations at the Master Exchange Conference, followed by several consecutive days of individual exchanges. But Rod is in a hurry to go home, and Roy has no intention of staying longer...... So the day after the coup, they set out on their way home.

What Roy had just overthrown with his own hands was really a small country - only a few days away, after a mountain pass, they were back on Midland territory. The atmosphere of the team suddenly became relaxed, and the possibility of them being attacked on a large scale on the territory of the Empire was almost zero, and even if an accident occurred, they could quickly ask for help from the nearest Imperial army, and they were safe.

Rod is still in the carriage, and Roy, who killed his first boyfriend with his own hands, is still not in a good mood. No matter how nervous he is, the boy knows that it is best for him to accompany the girl and coax her at this time...... It feels really strange that Roy, who has always been arrogant and strong since he can remember, actually has times when he is weak enough to need someone to take care of him.

＊＊＊

"Rod, there are still some days to Wenwei, and it's not good to sit in a daze all the time. Why don't I teach you something on the road, some ...... I guess it has something to do with my ability to speak at the conference. After eating and drinking for a few days in a row, Roy finally took the initiative to speak: "Although you are in distress this time, there is another important reason, that is, you are too weak, so weak that it will be difficult to protect yourself without Grom, I hope you can have more ability to protect yourself, and Yin'er can also learn together, okay?"

"Huh?" Rod immediately grimaced, if he had never thought about it, he would have refused. But now that Roy was in a low mood, he really couldn't bear to refuse her kindness at this moment, "What are you learning...... It can't have anything to do with magic again, does it?"

......

He was reluctant, but someone was very studious—the little silver fox was excited, and quickly jumped out of Rod's arms and turned back into human form, and sat on the chair opposite Roy staring at his instructor, his furry ears pricked up, and he looked eager to listen to the lecture.

"Relevant, but not totally magical. I also know that your impatience is really hard for you to learn real magic...... But my teacher and I have some special ideas for the newly discovered spellcasting gestures, which have proven to be useful after a simple experiment, which is especially suitable for you. Speaking of this, Roy's face, which had been sad for several days, also regained some anger: "You know, learning magic requires familiarity with the individual models and casting steps of each spell, which takes a lot of brain and energy, but we have now discovered the existence of gestures...... The right gestures make it easier for beginners to cast magic, but there are some more special features to it. ”

......

"With gestures, we can simplify the spell model and easily unleash a scaled-down version of the magic. Roy looked at Rhodes with a pleading look until he had to listen carefully: "Take the example of your fairly proficient fireball technique, skip the two steps of accumulating mana and condensing the fireball, and it will degenerate into a shrunken version - Flame Scorching." ”

She raised her hand and made a gesture, and a small flame immediately burst out of her hand, and then went out in an instant.

"See, if you don't condense your mana, you won't be able to form a fireball, and you won't be able to attack distant targets. But as long as the basic steps are not missing, the released flames can still be used to create high-temperature injuries or ignitions......" she patiently explained, "With the casting gesture, the difficulty of casting this shrunken spell is even lower, and it is already so simple that it can be used as long as you can sense magic, and we have given this shrunken version of magic a name - 'Dharma Seal'." ”

"A simplified and shrunken version of magic?" Rod was intrigued, he didn't want to learn magic because it was too complicated and hard to remember...... If this spell seal really made it easier to cast spells, of course he didn't mind learning it.

"That's right, a simplified shrunken version of magic. Generally speaking, power and functionality come from the two most difficult steps in the spell casting process, and if you have to skip these key steps, these two important aspects of the spell will naturally be reduced. Allowing a mage apprentice to use a simplified version of the shrunken version of the fire instead of fireballs is afraid that the fire ball created will be difficult to even light a candle...... But you, us, to be precise, are not like ordinary people. Roy looked at Rhodes and explained seriously: "Inherited from his parents and far beyond ordinary people's demonic talents and skills, we can create enough power to hurt others or protect ourselves even if we cast a reduced and simplified version of the magic...... It would be a shame if you didn't want to learn it despite your great spell talent. ”

"Okay...... Then learn. Seeing Yin'er's expectant appearance on the side, of course Rod couldn't interrupt Roy's words, so he had to pretend to be interested and continue listening.

"'Skip important steps' makes the Sigil much less powerful and functional, but it also has a corresponding advantage - it is faster to cast than a spell, and it has the ability to attack targets from a certain distance away compared to the faster Fighting Qi. As long as you practice and master, use the fighting spirit in close combat, use the magic seal when you open the distance slightly, and greet you with magic when you are further away, what kind of shock can this omnipotent appearance bring to the enemy?!" Roy tried his best to persuade his younger brother: "Think about it, you who were still swinging your fighting spirit and wielding a long sword a moment ago, but you can pull away some distance and instantly cast a magic seal attack, what a big surprise will this be for the enemy? If you knew this skill before, I'm afraid that the dozen or so assassins who chased and killed you before couldn't help you at all." ”

"Hmm...... Let's learn it first, if it's really simple, I'm naturally willing to learn more, how many seals have you found?"

"Countless of them. Roy's face was a little brighter: "Gestures and spells are similar, spells rely on a large number of corresponding syllable combinations to assist different spells, while gestures rely on a large number of different combinations of corresponding actions to play the same role. This means that by counting every single gesture that corresponds to a cast step, we can theoretically make a simplified and scaled down version of all spells...... There are a few spells in the world, and theoretically you can make a few magic seals!"
