Chapter Twenty-Four: Another Village
As he walked home, Edison didn't know the meaning behind the failure of the trial.
It's just that his steps are heavy now, and his heart is full of a sense of loss.
Think about it: if a person secretly goes out of the city every night for five years, just to improve his combat ability and spell casting level, but now all this birth and death, hard work has been denied, and even defined as thankless in the end, then his mood will not be much better.
So when Lancer saw Edison, his face was ugly as if anyone owed him money, and Lancer couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "...... Edison, you are ...... Are you sick?"
Edison —!!took a deep breath and said lightly, "It's okay, it's just that I applied for the family's magic inheritance trial, and I didn't pass this time." ”
Lancer frowned and said, "It's not that simple, right? I see that you have been running out every night all these years, and in terms of combat power alone, you are also the best among your peers." ”
Edison raised his head sharply when he heard this, and asked a little stammering, "Ah, you know you, you, your father?"
Lancer said as a matter of course, "Why, do you think those little movements of yours can escape my eyes?"
Edison was even more chaotic now, thinking that his father followed him silently every night, and he himself did useless work in the end, Edison's nose was inexplicably sour.
At this time, he desperately needed to find someone to talk to, and his parents were undoubtedly the most trustworthy people he had since he came to this world, so after some hesitation, Edison spoke......
This was also the first time since Edison was born, he almost let go of all his mental defenses, and allowed himself to meditate for a long time without side effects with a high degree of spiritual mystery...... Go and try the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts...... But in the end, the things that were reprimanded by West as messy were all told.
Except for the identity of the traverser and some forbidden matters, Edison told almost everything he did secretly behind his parents' back, and then he asked with a somewhat confused look, "Did I really do useless work?"
And Lancer's expression also changed with Edison's words, sometimes shocked, sometimes distressed, but when Edison finally looked up and asked.
Lancer said in a gentle tone, "No, my child, you have done very hard. You must know that no one is smooth sailing on the road of life, even if you have an enviable soul talent, it does not mean that you will not suffer setbacks. ”
And as long as you can take every setback as an experience for yourself and learn from the lessons of failure, you can go further, more stable, and more calm. If you think about it carefully, is it really useless to practice in the field in the past few years?"
"You have the survival experience that ordinary magic apprentices don't have, your will has been sharpened, your magic has been trained, and your body has become stronger, these are all your gains!"
"The most important thing is that with your soul qualifications, you are no less than your classmates in terms of meditation time and natal mana accumulation, you have such a big advantage, but why are you so depressed?"
After saying this, Edison's frustration eased slightly, but Lancer threw out the truth that shocked him even more.
"And...... Look," said Lancer, a blue ball of light appeared in his hand.
Edison stared at the ball of light in a bit of confusion, not knowing what it meant, but he soon understood, because he felt a trace of unstable fluctuations in the magic element, and then little by little, Lancer's pure magic ball of light was replaced by a layer of light elemental.
Edison was shocked, and his voice trembled a little and asked, "Is this ...... When will the Demon Warrior be able to sense magic elements and use magic?"
Lancer shook his head with a sigh, dissipated the ball of light in his hand, and said, "Yes and no!
"Do you really think that the warriors don't realize the importance of the elements and tools? Isn't the magic technique, which uses pure magic power, just a reference to the magician's magic, and the possibility of the warrior using elemental magic is actually something that we warriors have been exploring, and the magic control is the key......
As he spoke, Lancer spread out his palm, only to see a small patch of muscle on it shrink and collapse, Edison's pupils shrank, and he blurted out: "Magical erosion? No, this should be called elemental erosion? Dad, you ......"
Lancer waved his hand and said: "This injury is not in the way, I just want to prove a truth, since magic is the origin of all things, then as the accommodator of magic power, although we can't naturally communicate with the elements of magic, but there is also a way to find another way, don't underestimate the efforts and exploration spirit of the warriors!"
"In fact, for ordinary magicians, the existence of ninth-order demon warriors is already a great challenge to the status of magicians, after all, when magicians reach the ninth order, even if they are the fastest speed, our ancestor Nikola Tesla has spent 400 years, while gifted demon warriors can do this in just 300 years, if it weren't for the limitation of lifespan and the inability to break through the shortcomings of legends, how could demon warriors be willing to live under magicians. ”
Edison hesitated, but nodded in agreement with Lancer, but he was more concerned about the question at this time: "That was just ...... How the hell did you do it, and your hand ...... father"
Lancer sighed lightly and said: "Actually, this principle is very simple, since we demon warriors can't use magic elements directly, then we will try to use them indirectly, just now I first used my magic power to fill an area, and then wrapped the magic elements of the entire area, by sensing the difference between different magic elements, using magic power to continuously compress and filter the magic elements in it, and finally leaving only some kind of most and single magic element, it is daytime, and there is nothing else nearby, so it is produced [ Light Sphere]. ”
"And then maybe I just need to understand the order of magic, and then I can cast magic! It's just that it's too difficult, and it's also naturally repelled by the magic element, so my hand will hurt!"
After listening to Lancer's words, Edison nodded again and again, but unfortunately with this method, the casting of spells is too slow and too demanding, but if only one or a few spells are practiced, it will form an instinct...... Who would have thought that a demon warrior would suddenly smash a magic spell in the middle of a battle?
Think about those magicians who only opened physical defense and pure magic defense when they fought with the warriors, but while fighting, the warriors suddenly released an elemental magic, and the picture was so beautiful that I couldn't think about it!
And after thinking about it carefully, Edison realized that his father, who was usually a good man, was not simple! In just a few words, it showed that he did not know much about magicians. This kind of knowledge is not something that a mere seventh-order demon warrior can have.
But Edison didn't want to delve into the story behind this, but said: "It's a pity that this method is too tricky! It takes a long time, is greatly affected by the environment, and is not suitable for magicians to use ......" (In my heart: Could it be that the temperamental and temperamental option of the protagonist of the Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation is destined to leave me? But it is rare for my father to reveal such a skill to me...... )
Thinking about it, he still cheered himself up and said: "Thank you, father, I will continue to work hard, after all, I am much luckier than ordinary people, I really shouldn't lose my soul for this little thing, this is just a temporary fork in the road, not a dead end." It's okay, let's go home now!"
Lancer said with relief: "It's good to open it!"
On the way home, thinking of his father's injured hand, Edison paused and said, "There is still ...... I'm not going to give up on the practice of magic control. ”
Lancer's smile widened.
......
That night, Edison fell asleep early, but he was not calm in the dream, but sat in a room with a spiritual space, which was a pure land built in Edison's brain by virtue of his [Dream Returning Technique] and his own extremely high soul mystery.
The style of the room here is the same as the room in his previous life, but because of the lack of magic, although the world outside the room is also constructed, it is a gray and monotonous color, and only this room is vivid.
Whenever there was something troubled, Edison would always come here to introspect, because the time in the mental space can be faster than the outside world, so this is the best place for Edison to retreat.
It's just that even in the mental space, Edison crossed his legs and knees, holding his head and nagging: "Could it be that my efforts are in the wrong direction?
"But if I don't solve the problem of hedging between the magic element and the annihilation element, then won't I even be able to use magic?"
"Ahh
"Sure enough, I'm still an otaku at heart, and I will fail no matter what I do?"
"It's so unwilling, it's obviously hard to cross, and I haven't even found a way to go back. ”
"I really want to see the new one.,See the update!!"
......
(Amount...... Well, the building was completely crooked, hey!)
However, the unwilling mood seems to be unrelieved in a short period of time, and thanks to the talent of memorization, the motivation to re-read the novels and comics when I am irritable has disappeared.
Helpless, Edison could only look up at the sky, and his thoughts moved to collect the next cloud, to see the results of his own dissemination of the earth's novel culture in the other world, in this dream space, these clouds are the embodiment of the power of faith, but it is a pity that Edison has studied until now, except when the book review area looks, there is no other effect, there is no change in the body, and the mental space is not strengthened except for a few more clouds, whether it is magic elements or simple magic touch, there is no way to directly stimulate the power of faith, the whole cold mess, no matter how to toss it......
Wait, suddenly Edison had a flash of inspiration, "Pure magic and magic elements don't react when touched" That doesn't mean that if you use the power of faith as a separation zone between magic elements and annihilation elements, you can try to cultivate magic and martial arts?
Thinking of this, Edison sat up with a carp and hurriedly planned to start the experiment in the dream space, but ...... Only then did he realize: Damn, I'm only a level 2 mortal warrior, and I can't touch the annihilation element at all!
......
"No, that's not right! If magic is the origin of all things, why do magicians use magic to manipulate the elements, but warriors use the elements of annihilation? Why doesn't the power of faith respond to magic?"
"What's the difference between the two? magician...... Demon Warrior ...... Element...... Elemental ...... The gods are jealous...... Reduce! Reduce?"
Edison, who was pondering suddenly, thought of a bold possibility: if everything in the world originated from magic, but because of the different ways of conversion and use, magicians communicate with magical elements through their souls, while demon warriors communicate with annihilation elements through their bodies, so the two will take completely different paths, and the fear of the gods or the change of some rules has greatly reduced the annihilation elements that can communicate in the environment, which has led to the decline of the warrior profession and the rise of magicians. As for the power of faith...... He knows too little about this, he doesn't dare to guess, so he can only let it go first!
The so-called [Demon Martial Pole Wall] is the collision of different roads, which makes the body and soul unable to bear the collapse caused by it, which is just like a mobile phone running two mobile phones at the same time is easy to overload.
But people are not mobile phones, if, if it can be like Tai Chi in the previous life, so that the two can be accommodated...... Then, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to separate the power of faith from the two.
It's just that...... Why did the top warrior organizations collectively defect to the Magic Empire? Why did the divine punishment make the demon warriors unable to break through the legend? Is this related to the fact that the Abdominal Chakra and Mooladhara that I tried could not settle in the magic power? And in terms of location, the dantian is just between the Abdominal Chakra and the Mooladhara Chakra, so is it because the dantian cannot store the magic power because it is affected by the divine punishment?
There is so little information about this that it is impossible to speculate!
Edison, who couldn't figure it out, had to slowly let go of the doubts in his heart, but he also decided: [Demon Martial Extreme Wall] himself has to rush no matter what, after all, others don't have the power of faith!
But this will also be a slow, step-by-step process of exploration......
At this time, no one would have thought that a child who was only eleven years old had already vaguely guessed some of the truths behind the [Demon Martial Extreme Wall].
(PS1: Okay!How can you not even have the benefits of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts as the protagonist?,It's just a seemingly simple word to do behind it.,Otherwise, among the 18,000 magicians who appeared in front of you,None of them can double cultivate magic and martial arts.,Wouldn't they all be stupid?!)
(PS2: By the way, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, today is actually full of 10,000 words, but 9000 words is also a great challenge for me! I really want to count my 10,000 words or arrived, but that's the content of the next chapter, tomorrow will be a very important chapter in the whole book! I want to revise the idea, please don't blame it! Night, this chapter is the latest update in my chapter, go to sleep after reading!)
