Chapter 22: Family Legacy II
The door opens automatically after Swiftcat's death.
When Edison dragged the body of the Shadow Cat out of the Proving Ground gate, his face was not good-looking, because it was murder to have a magic apprentice and a first-class monster fight in an environment favorable to him.
But when Edison saw West's unkind face, Edison couldn't help but say nothing, but asked stiffly, "Have I passed my trial?"
West first praised loudly: "Your performance is really good~~" and then changed the conversation and said: "But it's a pity that you are not qualified to inherit the inheritance." ”
Edison suddenly became angry, and he said loudly, "Why? Is there something wrong with my trial? That situation is murder for the average magic apprentice!"
West glanced at Edison and said, "Oh, murder? I don't admit this accusation, the last moment is only a part of the trial, and the whole trial is under my surveillance, I don't think that a first-level Shadow Cat can kill someone under the nose of a seventh-order magician." ”
Edison was furious, but still asked, "Then why didn't I pass the trial?"
West looked at Edison's uneven gaze, and just said leisurely: "It's true that you successfully passed the magic trial, but did you rely on magic?"
"When I relinquish control of the water balloon, your first instinct is to reach for it, and it takes 3 seconds to finish casting, causing two-thirds of the water to flow to the ground. This means that you do not have the awareness to use magic immediately at a critical moment. ”
"When I returned, the water on the ground had just dried up, and the fire elemental you had in your hand was almost out of control at my words. This means that you will be using most of your energy to control your magic with precision, and you will neglect to observe your surroundings!"
"And when you were in the battle with Swift Shadow Cat, I also found out that you have a good grasp of the timing of the use of magic, and you have enough knowledge of the habits of magical beasts, but this only shows that your combat awareness and memory are good......; Your casting speed is a hard injury, and you mainly rely on the bonus brought by your physical fitness to play a crushing effect. ”
"To put it bluntly, your spell casting speed is not fast enough, and the magic control is acceptable, but the whole fighting style is biased towards warriors, it seems that you can easily defeat the same period when you are a magic apprentice, but it is just relying on the characteristics of the warrior's early upgrade fast, relying on the level to crush, but your understanding of magic is not in place;
"And fast casting, spell meditation compression, and elemental affinity improvement, these are the three most important things for a magician, and the last two things aside, the most critical casting speed is that you haven't reached the standard, but you are still complacent here. The most important thing is that you don't have the consciousness of being a spellcaster, you ...... Fail!"
Edison opened his mouth, but found that he was right, so he could only say stiffly: "But my magic control ......"
But before he finished speaking, he was retorted by West: "Magic control, no matter how good the magic control is, it can only be applied to potions and alchemy, how much magic power consumed by using magic is determined by the magic spell engraved in your brain, and you are not a warrior, you don't need to practice how to make magic into battle armor, shields and the like, although exercising your magic control can make you more handy when magic molding, but if you have this time, it is better to advance as soon as possible and become a magician and then exercise?" Practicing magic control as a magic apprentice was a huge stretch. ”
"At your current level, it's not that I'm exaggerating, if you meet an ordinary magician, you don't have to fight, just rely on your spell casting speed, as long as others distance themselves, how can you go up to hand-to-hand combat? If the enemy wears a magic robe with [Physical Reflection], what should you do? Or someone else directly gives you a [Fireball Technique] when you don't react, how do you carry it, think about blocking it with your hands first?"
……
Edison listened to West's count, shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay! I admit it, I think the mage's body is too weak, so I will learn the warrior's methods, but the result is not bad, isn't it? And the warrior's early upgrade speed is obviously faster than that of the mage, which can allow me to have enough self-protection ability before the magic is completed, anyway, the mage will live much longer than the warrior." ”
But when West heard this, his face sank, and he said, "How can it be good, do you think that a mage will not recognize the weakness of his own physical inadequacy, and will ignore the role of the warrior path for a mage? Do you think I am despising the warrior profession?"
"Wrong, very wrong, but have you ever thought about it? Why is it that there may be people among magicians who refer to fighting skills, but there are almost no people who directly learn to temper the flesh with magic like warriors, is this why?"
Edison was taken aback by West's serious words, but he still said stubbornly: "Isn't it because I'm afraid of being distracted and hindering my progress with [Demon Martial Extreme Wall]?" (Saying in my heart: I'm a traverser! and with such a high degree of soul mystery, what am I afraid of [Demon Martial Extreme Wall]!)
When West saw Edison's appearance, he knew that he didn't listen, but sighed and said: "Of course it's not that simple, being afraid of distraction is one thing, after all, magic is vast and profound, even if you spend your whole life, you may not dare to say that you have learned magic, but ...... You don't even know what the real [Demon Martial Extreme Wall] means!Remember, for the sake of your future, it's best that your warrior level never exceeds level 3. ”
Edison was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Instead of answering directly, West asked rhetorically, "Do you know what is the biggest difference between a mage and a warrior?"
Without thinking, Edison replied, "Life!"
The corner of West's eyes twitched, and he continued to ask, "...... What else?"
Edison thought for a moment and replied, "Magical Elemental Affinity!?"
West nodded and said: "That's right, it's the affinity of the magic element, all magicians who try to cultivate magic and martial arts, regardless of their previous level, will lose their affinity for magic elements with the increase of the warrior level, and finally become a pure warrior who can't use magic elements, this is the most unacceptable place for magicians!"
Edison said incredulously, "I've never heard of such a statement!
West looked at Edison's devastated expression with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, the level of a second-level mortal warrior is nothing, this is just a level that ordinary people can achieve through hard work, you will only feel it after breaking through level 3, and once you break through to become a sixth-order demon warrior, you will regret it!"
"When the time comes, you will find that the magical elements that were originally as easy to evoke as drinking water will be as difficult to mobilize as cement. Moreover, when you break through the 6th Order Demon Warrior, your lifespan will be lost rapidly at a rate of more than 10 times, in short, you will definitely die miserably at that time. ”
Edison was instantly shocked, and he asked a little unnaturally, "Are you kidding me? ”
West replied seriously, "You think I'm going to talk nonsense about this kind of thing?"
Edison froze and asked, "Then why didn't anyone tell me?
West shrugged his shoulders and said, "But you didn't ask, besides, how many people in the magic apprenticeship stage will try to cultivate magic and martial arts! After meditating every day, they need to rest and adjust, and then squeeze out time to exercise their bodies, wasting the magic power they have accumulated so hard to refine their bodies, what a stupid behavior is that? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to advance?"
"You must know that the best time for a magic apprentice to become a magician is before the age of 15! And a first-level magician has a lifespan of 300 years, and a warrior must live for at least 6 years or more! I don't know how you calculate this account, and the early stage of a magician is not a profession that simply depends on combat effectiveness. ”
Speaking of this, West's pause and slanted a glance at Edison before he said again: "Besides, the road of magic is rugged, and there are countless exquisiteness and taboos to reach the top, and these are the results of the hard work of the family's predecessors, and countless magicians in history have paid a heavy price for it, how can it be casually written in books and circulated everywhere?"
"That's the foundation of a magic family, but the knowledge I've just talked about is only the basics, and the family usually tells you before you become a magician, or before you go out to travel. ”
"But now, since you already know in advance, sign this confidentiality contract before you go!" After speaking, West took out a magic contract for Edison to sign.
In between, he kept muttering: "If it weren't for the fact that you are the existing magic apprentice of our lineage, and your classmates are all from a well-established magic family, and I am not afraid that you will leak secrets, even if this kind of knowledge close to common sense, I will not explain it to you now." ”
"It's such a mess, your father is too irresponsible even if he is a seventh-order demon warrior. ”
"Go back and tell your father that the warrior training has been stopped, and a good magic seedling has almost been abolished. ”
"You kid is also stupid and bold, and you haven't had an accident until now, if I hadn't seen the problem this time, you would have cried at that time. ”
