Chapter 47: The World Is Like a Tide, and People Are Like Water (Part II)
Money is not everything, but no money is everything.
Just like Edison today, the biggest problem he faced was ...... money
He didn't have to think about it for a short time, but that day in the headmaster's office, when he said that he needed a little bit of the use of the power of faith in the use of the occult arts.
John Ray, or rather the "devil's vine" that Edison was familiar with, is back.
"Devil Vine": "Boy, remember what I told you about the rules for the exchange of magicians?"
Edison said with an unhappy face: "What? Isn't it just an equivalent exchange? I'll help you get the soul stone, and you teach me how to use the power of faith, isn't it fair?
"Devil Vine": "No, no, my reputation is guaranteed, you and I have known each other for so many years, how could I lie to you? Not to mention that I don't even have a specific time to get the soul stone, how can you be relaxed? I have suffered a big loss." ”
Edison scoffed at this, and said with some sarcasm: "It seems that you have suffered a great loss, but I have mortgaged all the power of faith after my death to you, you know, if nothing else, these power of faith are enough for you to transform your soul and become a god in your body." ”
"Devil Vine" said in a treacherous tone: "You think that the use of the power of faith can be taught as soon as it is taught, and besides, many ways to use it also have to match the materials, and you have to make this thing yourself." ”
Edison said with some annoyance: "Damn, there is this kind of thing, you cheated me again, you didn't say that before, and you didn't say this thing until I signed the contract, you must have received staff training from a large communication operator, right!?"
"Devil Vine" couldn't understand what Edison was saying, but this didn't prevent him from feeling that it wasn't a good thing, so he quickly retorted: "What are you talking about!? I haven't been to that kind of suspicious place just by hearing the name, so do you want to learn the secret art of the power of faith." ”
Edison gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, of course, it's time for it, even if you can't use it for the time being, you have to see how it is." ”
When the "Devil Vine" heard this answer, he did not hesitate to pass a piece of information to Edison's mind, part of which was as follows:
[The Power of Faith Sealing Divine Technique]: A godhead pedestal is required, a number of divinities (the more divinities of the same attribute, the better), the soul mystery is top-level, more than 1 million copies of the power of faith (the more the merrier), and a religious construction plan, 1 million magic crystal coins (the more the better, you can pay in installments......
[Faith Power Divine Body Builder]: Requires at least legendary Physique...... (This pass)
[Power of Faith Feedback Technique]: A necessary skill before becoming a god, you need to ...... At least 10 or more fanatics. (Direct Pass)
......
After some choosing, Edison found that these magic skills seemed to be lofty, but in fact, most of the [divine arts] were of no use to him now.
In the end, Edison reluctantly picked three "divine techniques": one is called [The Power of Faith Divine Kingdom Pioneering Technique], which sounds high enough!
In fact, it is to open up a one-cubic meter private space, which can hold anything, even living things, but there is no so-called vacuum preservation technology for general space items, but other space items can be put into it.
In this regard, Edison was also willing to spend one-third of the power of faith and 60,000 gold coins in material costs to the "Devil Vine", asking it to help build this "god" technique.
What's more, this "god" technique also attracted Edison, that is, its growth, when the first-level magician, this space is one cubic meter, the second level is 10 cubic meters, the third level is 20 cubic meters, and the fifth level is 40 cubic meters, which seems nothing, but the point is that after reaching the sixth-order magician, the space is 100 cubic meters, and then every time you rise to the first order, you have to add a 0 to the back, and to the ninth level is 100,000 cubic meters.
Anyway, Edison chose this "god" technique as soon as he saw this introduction.
The other is the [Power of Faith Magic Displacement]: This name is very awkward, but it can't hide the essence of this "god" magic loser, in fact, in Edison's opinion, it is more appropriate to call it [Power of Faith Leapfrog Spell Casting Guide].
To put it bluntly, in the case that the natal magic power cannot quickly resonate with the external elements, this technique can provide magic resonance for the magician by consuming the power of faith, this ratio is about 1 to 100, one faith power in exchange for 100 magic power addition, and what is the concept of these 100 magic powers? This is equivalent to the magic power that Edison needed to rub out 5 small fireballs, which also involves complex energy transmission and conversion.
However, this "god" technique is an excellent life-saving technique, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a secret technique of "selling one's life with money".
This is so much that you don't need to spend money to sell materials to learn, just master a set of power transformation methods, but Edison, who knew the value of the power of faith, said that he wouldn't use it indiscriminately.
You know, according to the standard provided by the "Devil's Vine", the current Edison can only make up 500 copies of the power of faith to reach the sky, although there will be an increase in the future, but I feel a little lost! So this can only be used as an emergency means of saving life.
The last one is [Faith Power Reconnaissance]: consume a copy of the power of faith, and within ten minutes, any disguise will be seen through by you! You can know all the information under the other party's disguise.
But after learning Edison, he was told: this technique has a very important premise, after you see through the disguise, you also have to know, or have relevant memory information in your mind, otherwise you will have to see part of the other party's information or know the preciousness of the material!
Specific areas will be shown as insufficient data and cannot be analyzed. Of course, if Edison could condense the divinity in advance, then there would be no need to go so far! Even if you have never seen or known, you can also unravel the secrets behind it!
Well! Edison knew that [Divine Magic] was very pitiful! But what was even more pitiful was that the material cost of learning this "Divine Technique" made Edison's remaining 40,000 gold coins bottom out.
This made him feel his heart broken, and later the "Devil's Vine" provided 3 more life-saving leaves condensed with the power of faith, each of which condensed the power of 100 faiths, which calmed Edison's heart that felt deceived.
But at this time, Edison had just arrived, and the 100,000 gold coins that had not yet been covered were spent.
Feeling sorry for his gold coins, he simply had a good time with the "devil vine" next, and kept asking about all kinds of things in the mythological era, from the information of the gods at the beginning to the customs and customs at that time.
The name is as follows: "Gather information from scattered accounts and improve the deficiencies of investigative techniques." "Actually, it's just that: I finally caught an old monster who has lived from the mythical era to the present, and while you have a good time, hurry up and satisfy your curiosity!
After all, the information in the book is detailed, and no one who has experienced it has told the truth.
For example, the rumor that green-haired people can replenish their own energy through photosynthesis is actually because when the elves reach the 6th level, they often use their hair as the first elemental part of their body, so that the hair becomes the organ of the elves to replenish their magic power from the outside, and it looks like they are photosynthesizing.
As for the reason for the elves, they can keep their hairstyles unmessed at any time, and the typical head can be broken and blood can flow, and the hairstyle can't mess with the tsundere race
......
And in this question and answer, time flies, Edison's question has not stopped, until the "Devil Vine" is forced to say unhappily: "Boy, ask another question for 100 gold coins, and we will continue to talk about it if you take it out." That's when he stopped.
.........
Remembering this, Edison's palms couldn't help but tighten, and he thought, "Come with whatever else is ahead!" gods, sacrifices, traversers, Nikola Tesla...... Whoever it is, I'm not going to back down......"
But just as Edison recalled the past and secretly made up his mind (the second illness of the second year of secondary school), an untimely voice suddenly sounded: "Edison, your mother called you to eat." ”
It was the voice of his father, Lancer.
Edison turned his head violently, and said angrily in his study: "Dad, I know, aren't I rushing to the manuscript!"
That's right! At this time, for the sake of money, Edison not only opened a weekly magazine called "Listening to Stories from a Foreign Land", but also made a copy of his certificate of promotion to a magician and sent it to the publisher, increasing his share of the publication, and taking some tasks to make potions in his spare time, which was able to alleviate the financial crisis.
On the other end, his father Lancer was like every middle-aged person, nagging and saying, "What kind of attitude do you have, you don't send your classmates away when they leave, and you kid can't skip meals if you become a magician?" and you still don't listen to your parents anymore...... I don't even discuss the choice of magic elves with my parents.,Art elves?!Although I know that your kid is good.,But what's the use of that thing...... After two years, the level has gone up, so let's change it quickly...... I still have a little bit of savings......"
Listening to Lancer's babbling words, I remembered that I would have three months to travel at most, and this trip might be ten years, although it was not that I couldn't come back halfway, but it was also less gathering and more separation. Edison's heart couldn't help but feel melancholy!
Counting up, his father Lancer and mother Lisyi were typical old husbands and young wives in Edison's previous life. When he started his family, Lancer Tesla was 115 years old, and his mother was only 25 years old at the time.
But as a seventh-order demon warrior, Lancer did not look old at all, and his whole person was like an ordinary person in his 30s, but now the years have undoubtedly taken away their youth, and now both his mother and father are much older.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sour nose, and Edison got up and opened the door, and said in a deliberate nonchalant voice: "Okay! Don't talk about it, I'll go to dinner." After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.
Looking at Edison's distant figure, Lancer stood in place, watching him walk away a little bit, disappearing into the corner of the corridor, and muttered to himself: "Go, go, the child is older, after all, he is going to go out for a wandering......"
......
Three months later (a year after leaving elementary school), Edison consolidated his two newly learned "god" techniques, and took the money to buy a large number of potions and the newly remitted manuscript fees, and then officially embarked on his own study tour.
On the day he left, his father Lancer said to Edison: "Don't be afraid, a man has to be responsible for anything, when we go out, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble either...... But son, you remember, no matter what the situation, don't give up your life lightly, you have a home behind you waiting for you to come back. ”
At the end of the sentence, Lancer's eyes moistened slightly. It's just that out of the dignity of his father, he didn't let the tears flow.
Edison nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, I will definitely come back alive." ”
When he left, Edison didn't dare to look back, because he heard his mother Elilan already crying. With Edison's current hearing, he could clearly hear it from a hundred meters away, and his mother asked his father in a hoarse voice: "The child will come back alive, right?!"
And the father could only comfort him vigorously: "Yes, yes, I will definitely come back." ”
......
You ask us why the tears are flowing.
This is because of age.
Now we have nothing left to hand over to you.
You're going to bloom your own flowers in the future.
Non-stop, non-stop, moving towards that future.
You will also be reunited with us, however
You're still going to set sail for the sea.
Alright, the boat is leaving, wave goodbye.
......
The rocking chair shook slightly, and it turned out that I had a dream again.
Dream of the day you were born in a small blessing,
A ray of sunlight shone through the treetops.
Really, a happy day.
...... (Lyrics taken from "Sunshine in the Treetops")
The year 18,012 in the Magic Empire calendar is destined to be a year that will be remembered by history. Because in this year, the 5 people of the Western Continent Magic Academy have embarked on their own legendary road.
They are like young eagles, only in the process of falling off a cliff can they master the ability to fly.
(Mainland common sense: study tour is a hard rule left by the Magic Council for everyone who learns magic, and it is also the obligation after receiving 10 years of education in a magic primary school, aiming to improve people's understanding of magicians and magicians' own self-preservation ability.) This is not tourism, according to incomplete statistics, the annual death rate of study tours is as high as 30%. And that's not even counting the magic apprentices who are crippled or have failed to break through. So none of the magicians are casual. )
(PS: Okay,That's the end of this first volume.,There's a single chapter with a summary later.,I hope you don't miss it!There's a preview of the next volume.。 )
