Chapter 12: The Life of a Sorcerer
Living in the middle of the mountain, not only is it attacked by the mountain wind, but there are also many wild beasts and mosquitoes that are very annoying in this inaccessible place.
Fortunately, this is not a place where monsters haunt, otherwise Sean would not dare to stay here, no matter how bold he is.
As for dealing with beasts and mosquitoes, it is not very difficult for magicians.
As long as a few small traps are placed nearby, you can keep those carnivorous beasts out, as for mosquitoes, it is even simpler, there are many magic cores and magic materials on the monsters, all of which have a natural effect of expelling ordinary mosquitoes. Not to mention that the magician wears it on the body, even if it is worn by ordinary people, it can also be protected from mosquito infestation.
When the tent was set up, Sean took out the iron sheet book that Teacher Mo Lun had given him that recorded the advanced cultivation method, and taught the two of them to practice.
Kim and Ryan were moved to tears on the spot, not because they were pretending, but because they were finally in tears when their dreams finally came true after more than 20 years of hard searching.
For them, this is already the last chance to become official magicians, and to be able to catch this last train, it is naturally difficult to control their excitement.
Sean was very considerate of their feelings, and after teaching them the record once, he began to explain.
Although Sean has always been self-taught in the cultivation of magic, the basic theories and knowledge of magic are taught by Moron himself.
Morun's qualifications are not very good, and if he is not very lucky, then he will not be able to become an official magician at all. However, it is precisely because of this that he has studied the basic theoretical knowledge of magic very thoroughly, and in that magic notebook, every bit of his experience is recorded in detail.
During his years in the Magic Tower, coupled with the experience of coming here to study notes, Sean also has a deep understanding of the knowledge system of magic with the help of the establishment of the No. 1 database. Judging from the theoretical foundation of primary magic, it is not even much inferior to the magician of Morun.
It is for this reason that Sean is absolutely comfortable when teaching Kim and Ryan, two mages who have not been systematically studied.
Under Sean's unreserved guidance, Kim and Ryan feel that they have a deeper understanding of magic almost every day, and that this teacher, although relatively young, is a master with real talents.
Ten days later, the two of them had preliminarily mastered the advanced mental strength training method and began to try it.
After a few days of experimentation, Sean keenly discovered that in the process of absorbing external energy, Kim and Ryan's qualifications were far inferior to those of Doni and Benson, but they were not too bad. It's just that they are a little too old, and if they continue to train like this, then after ten years, it can only be said that they have the possibility of being promoted to a full-fledged magician.
After seeing that the two of them had basically mastered the cultivation method of high-level spiritual power, Sean called them to the front and said, "From today onwards, you will practice hard here and strive to reach the standard of a ninth-level apprentice as soon as possible." ”
Kim and Ryan said in unison, and there was a hint of joy in their tones that could not be concealed.
Sean glanced at the two of them and said, "If you become official magicians in the future, do you want to go to Jadell to become a family mage?"
The two of them glanced at each other, and Jin Lao said honestly: "Teacher, we have been good friends with Jadell since childhood, and we have been able to go so far on the road of cultivating magic, and we all rely on Jadell's support, so we ......"
Sean stretched out his hand and said, "I understand, and I have no intention of interfering with your decisions. However, if you become the family mage of the Jadell family, then you have to be careful of one person. ”
The two of them looked at each other strangely, only to hear Sean say slowly, "You have to be careful of Solomon." ”
Kim and Ryan's faces suddenly became extremely ugly, and they opened their mouths to stop talking.
Sean thought for a while and said, "This person has always been a scourge if he stays, forget it, I'll solve it for you." With that, Sean suddenly stood up.
Jin and Ryan looked at each other, and Jin hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, I'm going to take Solomon's head. Sean smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it without knowing it." ”
The faces of the two of them turned miserable, and they suddenly knelt down at the same time.
This world is not the same as the earth in ancient times, and even between teachers and students, there is no etiquette of bowing.
However, when people express absolute surrender, and when they are extremely grateful or have something extremely difficult to ask for, people will still choose to kneel and beg.
Sean's eyes swept over the two of them and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Jin and the others touched the ground with their foreheads and said sincerely: "Teacher, the disciples know that Solomon did something wrong this time, but please give him a chance and let him go this time." ”
Sean snorted coldly and said, "So, you already know what Solomon did to me?"
"Yes. Kim closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Sean was furious and shouted, "Solomon took advantage of the fact that I was fighting Milician's coma, and I wanted to kill him for money, since you have already seen it, then why do you still intercede for him?"
Jin said bitterly: "Teacher, Solomon is also a fan of money, and he will never dare to be disrespectful to you." ”
"Hehe...... Sean sneered and said, "Of course he doesn't dare, unless he doesn't want to live." ”
Jin was immediately speechless, yes, in the face of a formal magician, of course an unruly shaman like Solomon would not dare to be rude.
"Knock knock. ”
Ryan, who has never been accustomed to speaking, suddenly kowtowed a few times, and when he lifted it, his forehead was already a blood-red, and even the oily skin rubbed a layer, which showed how hard he was exerting himself.
"Teacher, Solomon is also our playmate since childhood, our brother who lives and dies together, he is confused for a while, please spare him. ”
Looking at Ryan's eager and pleading gaze, Sean's heart moved, but his face was unmoved.
"Hmph, he is on the battlefield and wants to take my surname, if he is spared like this, I will be resentful. Sean glared at the two of them and said, "Since you have become my disciple, it is unforgivable that you still have to intercede for him." ”
Kim and Ryan were shocked, but the pleading taste in their eyes was undiminished.
Sean said coldly: "The reason why I taught you the advanced exercise method is to repay you for saving your life. But if there is kindness in return and revenge in revenge, how can I easily forgive those who want to harm me?"
Jin Er didn't say a word, gritted his teeth, and also followed Ryan's example, kowtowing heavily, and after a few clicks, his head was also red and swollen, very pitiful.
Sean suddenly turned his back and asked coldly, "Solomon is your brother?"
Hearing the cold tone of Sean's words, the two of them felt that a cold air quickly spread to every corner of their bodies, and even their teeth were a little uncontrollable and wanted to fight up and down.
However, the two of them were also tough, knowing that Sean was already angry, but they still responded strongly.
Sean turned around sharply and said, "They are your brothers, so what about me?"
"Students don't dare. Jin stared at each other and solemnly swore: "Under the guidance of the teacher, the student finally saw the bright road of advancement, and your kindness will never be forgotten by the student." ”
"Okay, then between me and Solomon, which one are you going to choose?" Sean asked coldly, "Are you willing to give up my guidance for the sake of a Solomon?"
Kim and Ryan's faces became bloodless at the same time, and their eyes flashed with an extremely painful contradiction.
Sean shook his head slowly, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, for the sake of the two of you who are quite kind, I won't pursue this matter." ”
Kim and Ryan were overjoyed at the same time, and the despair in their eyes suddenly turned into ecstasy, which made their expressions even more colorful.
Sean snorted softly, although there was still a hint of annoyance in his voice, but compared to the powerful momentum just now, it already made the two of them feel like they were in heaven.
"Give you half a year to cultivate well, and you must give me the standard of a ninth-level apprentice. If you dare to be lazy and cheat, you will embarrass me in the future, hum......"
"Teacher, rest assured. Jin Suddenly his face was full of joy, and said loudly: "We will definitely not let you down." ”
Sean's gaze circled around them twice, and he muttered, "I hope you can do it, now you go down." ”
"Yes. ”
Kim and Ryan stood up, wiped a handful of blurry eyes, and grinned in pain when their fingers inadvertently touched their foreheads, but in front of Sean, they didn't dare to make a sound, so they had to hold back. It wasn't until they returned to their tents that they medicated each other.
※※※※※※※※
Sean came to Space One, looked at One, who had the same appearance as himself, and asked, "How are you monitoring?"
One stretched out his hand, and something resembling an electrocardiogram suddenly appeared in the void.
Sean frowned slightly and asked, "What is this?"
"Here's a graph of how their heartbeat, body temperature, adrenal secretion, and so on. No. 1 explained one by one, and there was a tendency to gush endlessly.
Sean's face changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "Okay, I don't understand what you said, and I don't want to figure it out, the only thing I want to know is, what are their psychological changes?"
With a regretful wave of his hand, the patterns disappeared. It seems that no one listens to him, and it also makes the self-proclaimed learning machine No. 1 very bored.
"Master, according to the changes in the data I have gathered, they have great respect for you, and under your intimidation, they are also extremely afraid of you. Number One changed his expression, like a robot.
Sean secretly screamed in his heart that it was really hell, looking at No. 1's expression, he was obviously angry, but he was just a program.
Shaking his head, he put this inexplicable thought behind him and said, "Then is there any possibility that they will betray in the future?"
"In a few decades, there shouldn't be. One analyzed: "Although the two of them are not young, they are both very affectionate people, as can be seen from their plea for Solomon's sake. ”
Sean nodded silently, thinking of Benson in Louis, if one day he was going to be chased and killed by Teacher Morun, then Benson would definitely be desperate to intercede for himself.
As soon as he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but warm up, as if he had been touched at some point in the deepest part of his heart, and he had an inexplicable great affection for Kim and Ryan.
One didn't notice Shaun's change, and continued, "According to my reasoning, if you maintain a good relationship with them during the six months you are recuperating here, and patiently teach them about magic, they should be obedient to you in a few decades. Well, I have to admit that the children who grew up in the Werewolf Empire are indeed much more honest than the old fritters who have been in the Human Empire for many years. ”
Sean's head was dripping with cold sweat, and the analogy of Number One was too exaggerated.
But to be honest, although these werewolves cannot be said to have well-developed limbs and simple minds, they are indeed much more direct and frank than humans in dealing with people and interacting with people.
Number One hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course, this is based on the fact that you have more strength than they combined. ”
Sean hesitated for a moment and asked, "You mean, if their strength surpasses mine, then it will be against me?"
"It's not necessarily bad for you, but it's certainly not going to be blindly following your words. Number One paused and comforted, "But it's not just a matter of the two of them, it's the inferior root of obedience to the strong hidden in everyone's surname." ”
"Okay, so with the qualifications of the two of them, can they surpass me?"
"Probably not. Number One said without hesitation: "Although they can use advanced exercises to absorb the energy of the outside world, as long as you can continue to exercise and maintain a certain intensity of exercise in my space, then the chance that they can catch up with you is 0.007%." ”
Sean smiled dumbly, such a probability can be ignored by anyone. Since this is the case, then it is better to be kind to them in the future, but unfortunately, the time to mix with them is only half a year.
No. 1 suddenly came up, changed his cold expression just now, and said with a flattering smile: "Hello, respected master." ”
Sean shuddered, and was not lightly affected by this thunder.
Anyone who sees a person who looks exactly like themselves has such an expression, I'm afraid they will have such feelings.
He waved his hand and hurriedly said, "No. 1, what test do you want me to do, just say it, it's less disgusting." ”
No. 1 smiled and said, "Master, I would like to ask you to teach the first three bars of the first set of the primary broadcast body to these two people. ”
Sean's expression suddenly froze, he was able to have today's achievements, in addition to No. 1, there is another very important reason, that is, the broadcast body.
If he didn't have this set of actions that could improve the quality of the human body and stimulate the potential of the human body, then he would not be able to hold a sledgehammer at all, and he would not be able to wear thick armor, so on the night of the raid, he would have been dismembered by a knife.
So Sean definitely didn't think about teaching his life-saving skills to anyone, especially these two older disciples who had just accepted it and had not had time to cultivate their feelings.
"Why?" Sean asked in a deep voice.
"Because I want to collect data. No. 1 also said seriously: "I want to know how much the broadcasting body can play a role in promoting the people of this world, and how much potential it can stimulate them." ”
"Isn't it enough to have me as your test subject?" asked Sean depressedly.
"One person's data doesn't represent everyone, and I need a lot of data to refer to. ”
"If they learn how to broadcast, will they surpass me in the future?"
"It's also not possible, because I only need the most basic data. One explained: "So, it is enough to teach them the movements of the first three stanzas of the first set of the primary broadcast body. At this level, they are absolutely impossible to pose any threat to you. ”
Sean breathed a sigh of relief, if it was only the first three bars of the first major set of beginners, then he wouldn't care too much. But if Number One asked for all of them, then he would definitely refuse without thinking about it.
Maybe the smart number one also understands this truth, so the request put forward is also very appropriate.
"Okay, I promise you. Sean is also a decisive person, and once he has made a decision, he immediately agrees without hesitation.
"Okay, thanks. Number One said sincerely.
"You're welcome. Sean said modestly, but then he despised himself fiercely, and he was so dizzy that he forgot that Number One was just a program.
No. 1 bowed slightly and said, "Master, your current fossil technique and condensation technique have made some small achievements, you can try it outside." ”
Sean's eyes lit up, and in the past ten days, he had to practice fossilization and soil condensation thousands of times every day. Both of them are Level 3 magic, and they are not very useful against enemies. However, for those magicians who are accustomed to walking freely and making their homes anywhere, they can basically play these two magic tricks to the fullest.
Fossilization: Acts on a stone block, making it as soft as mud.
Concretization: Acting on ordinary land, it can make the stone quickly harden and become as hard as a diamond.
Although both spells are earth-based magic, their effects are completely opposite. In contrast, the use of concretion is very simple, but the use of fossilization is more complicated.
This is due to the fact that when using fossilism, there must not be any magical shields within 200 meters of the stone. Once even a second-level magic shield appears, then even if the magician himself is there, he will not let the fossil technique succeed.
It is precisely for this reason that there are more or less protective shields on the walls of major cities in various countries, just for fear that any boring mage will suddenly have a nervous attack and use a fossil technique against the city wall, then the indestructible city wall will become a typical tofu scum project.
Sean, who had exited Space One, came out of the tent and called out the two older disciples who were still apologizing in another tent.
After ten days of stationing here, No. 1 had already explored the environment here clearly through mosquitoes and flies, and naturally helped Sean choose a place to build a magic cave.
Three shovels were pulled out of the necklace space and given one to each of Kim and Ryan.
These two men looked at each other with shovels, wondering what the hell this young teacher was going to do, did they want the three of them to practice fighting? As soon as they thought of the teacher wearing heavy armor and holding a two-handed sword, their hearts were full of muttering. Where did you get so much strength in this small body?
Sean led them to a pre-selected location. It is a mountainside, facing south, with excellent natural light.
After coming here, Sean took a deep breath, but after a delay of about a second or two, the fossilization technique suddenly stimulated.
The stone wall in front of him suddenly underwent strange changes within a few breaths, although it was still not visible from the outside, but the structure inside had changed greatly.
Sighing deeply, feeling the changes after becoming an official magician, Sean was also very pleased.
Sean is very different from before he came, especially after becoming an official magician, he unexpectedly found that he was particularly handy at performing magic.
Although Sean was able to achieve the level of instant silence before, at this moment he has a completely different feeling from before.
Whether it's memory, the ability to release, or the understanding of the magic circuit map, Sean has a clear feeling.
If it used to be hazy and confused, now it is like lifting the veil of mystery that covers magic, and it is beginning to officially contact the essence of magic.
Of course, his spiritual strength has also increased rapidly, and he is completely relaxed and comfortable when he casts this third-level magic.
Raising his shovel high, Sean slammed it into the mountain wall.
"Poof......
After a soft sound, the shovel was almost halfway in, which showed that the stones here had indeed turned into mud.
Turning around, he said to the two dumbfounded: "Hurry up and dig it, we have to live here for half a year." ”
"Yes, teacher. ”
Kim and Ryan said excitedly.
From the teacher's words, they have heard that Sean has forgiven them and is willing to live with them for half a year.
can keep the life of the brother who grew up together since childhood, and can continue to study with the teacher, so what is there to dislike for them?
Every time the fossil technique is used, it can turn the hard mountain wall of about three cubic meters into thin mud, but in the same way, this spell requires quite high spiritual power, and Sean, who has just been promoted to the realm of a formal magician, cannot use a hundred such spells in a single day.
So it wasn't until ten days later that the three of them really excavated a magic cave with a size of about 300 square meters.
Of course, there are no traps in this magic cave. Since Sean didn't plan to live here for long, he didn't have the heart to make it an impregnable magical fortress.
While every official mage is entitled to have his or her own magic tower, for those who are used to being self-reliant or wandering, they don't like tall towers, but rather build a magic cave in a certain mountain wall.
Anyway, for a formal magician with fossil art and earth condensation, as long as he is given a few days, he can build a magic cave as he wants.
Under Sean's leadership, the three of them finally excavated the magic cave, and then Sean performed a concretization spell on the rest of the mountain walls, turning the entire magic cave into a steel-solid state, so that the entire mountain peak would not be affected by the sudden appearance of a cave.
When all this was done, Sean also let out a long breath, and only after becoming a real official magician could Sean discover the incomparably magical power of magic.
This thing can not only be used on the battlefield, but also in life, it can also play a huge role that is difficult to achieve.
If it is on the earth in the 21st century, with three people and three shovels, then let alone a few days, even a few years, it may not be possible to dig a huge cave with an area of 300 square meters and a height of three meters in the belly of a hard mountain.
Moreover, after the cave was dug up, magic was used to solidify it, so that the entire mountain range was not affected in any way. This kind of miraculous means would have been unimaginable before.
Only a miracle can be created by being full of mystical magic.
Kim and Ryan are no less interested in digging holes than Sean, and although they can't cast these two spells, Ryan has a unique skill that even Sean doesn't have.
He mixed those mud and water with his hands, and fabricated intricately shaped stone tables, stone beds, stone benches and other things, so that Sean could perform concretion on them and arrange them in the cave.
In this way, the whole cave suddenly became a little more angry, and it was no longer empty and desolate, which made Sean also greatly appreciated.
The entire cave has seven rooms, and in addition to the private bedrooms belonging to three people, there are living rooms, storage rooms, dining rooms, and reading rooms.
Of course, if anyone wants to experiment with magic, then the only way to do so is to go outside.
After all, this is not a magic tower, and it does not have such a strong protective force, and if it causes a collapse due to magic in the cave, even Sean will not dare to say that he can escape safely.
After the cave was fully built, Sean summoned Kim and Ryan to the reading room.
Although this 50-square-meter space is called a reading room, there is not even a single book.
Sean looked at the disciple who had become a little tired from his work for the past two days, and asked slowly, "Do you understand now why I want to stay here temporarily?"
"The student understood. Kim said respectfully.
When Kim and Ryan are together, it is often Kim who speaks on behalf of the two of them, which seems to have become a fixed habit.
"Tell me about it. Sean nodded slightly, if the two of them couldn't understand it in the middle of the month, then it would be too disappointing for Sean.
"Teacher, the reason why you brought students here is because there are abundant magical elements here, which is especially suitable for us to absorb the energy of the outside world to improve our own spiritual strength. Kim said seriously.
"That's right. Sean smiled with satisfaction on his face and said, "To be honest, even I didn't expect that in this mountain range, there would be a free ...... Well, where the magical element is so active. He glanced at the two of them who were slightly excited, and said, "If it weren't for this trail, we wouldn't have come here, and it would be impossible to find this kind of natural cultivation site." ”
Kim and Ryan answered at the same time, but Kim hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher, it's a pity that this place is too far away from Nodsshire, otherwise you could have built the magic tower here." ”
Sean pointed at him and said with a smile: "You are really not greedy enough, you must know that any such place where a large number of magical elements are concentrated has basically been occupied by people for a long time, and it is already a very remarkable thing that we can find one by accident." ”
Kim and Ryan were puzzled, and under Sean's guidance, they realized that the places where the magic elements were strong in the world had long been monopolized by many magic towers. Moreover, once you have learned the advanced spiritual strength training method, if you don't have a good place to practice in the blessed world, then the progress will definitely not be too fast.
When they understood all this, they couldn't help but sigh that their luck was indeed good. If this place hadn't been discovered, then even if Sean had taught them the advanced exercise method, they would never have thought of becoming full-fledged magicians in this life.
Sean pondered for a moment and said, "This place will belong to the two of you in the future, and when you become an official magician, don't give up this place, because under normal circumstances, it will be difficult for you to find such a feng shui treasure again." ”
Sean was telling the truth, because even this place was not found by Sean, but by chance when One sent a team of mosquitoes and flies to explore the surrounding environment.
If it weren't for the fact that No. 1 itself has the ability to analyze energy components, then it would not have imagined that there would be such an abundance of free molecules here.
However, except for the number one, even if the magician is there in person, he may not be able to find this place easily. So Sean's words are not exaggerated at all.
Kim and Ryan should be at the same time, of course they understand that the reason why they can be respected is because they are magicians and have great power, so even after they become the magicians of Jadell's family, they will not forget their roots. When it comes to magic cultivation, they will definitely not relax in any way.
Sean was very satisfied with their attitude, and remembered what No. 1 had asked him to do, he slowly stood up and said, "Since you call me teacher, then I should also teach you a little unique skill." ”
Kim and Ryan were overjoyed at the same time, thanking each other without saying anything, their eyes full of hope. Even Ryan, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what are you going to teach us?"
"What I'm going to teach you is ......," Sean said word by word, "warm-up exercises." ”
"Warm up...... Sports?"
The two of them looked at each other, it had been more than twenty years since they had learned magic, but they had never heard of such magic.
"Alright. Sean's face sank slightly, and he said, "Don't ask anything now, follow me." ”
Although Sean is much younger than them, because of the strong strength he has, after the face is pulled, Kim and Ryan are suddenly submissive, and they no longer dare to resist in the slightest.
Sean didn't hesitate, and did the five movements of the first measure of the first set of the primary broadcast body, and then said: "This is the warm-up exercise, start doing it now." ”
The two of them agreed, and at the same time began to study.
"Raise your head, raise your chest, expand your chest, stretch your legs, and press down on your ......" Sean frowned and said, "You two stupid people, you can't do a leg press action, do you still want to learn magic like this?"
"Yes. ”
Jin and Ryan responded, desperately stretching out their two legs, trying to complete a figure-eight step. But the problem is that no matter how hard they try, these legs just can't be completely separated.
Sean shook his head slightly and said, "I'll help you." ”
With that, he swept his foot over one of their legs......
"Uh......"
An almost inhuman moan from the excessive pain emanated from the mouths of the two older apprentices.
Although it is only the first set of exercises, it has already involved all parts of the human body, especially with a leg press and ligament pulling action, the difficulty can be imagined.
Kim and Ryan are both middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, and as great magicians, they have given up exercising their bodies since they were in their teens and devoted themselves to the study of magic.
So when their legs were pressed against the ground as wide as possible, and the ligaments were suddenly pulled to the limit, the two of them foamed at the mouth, rolled their eyes, and almost fainted on the spot.
A white light flashed from the two of them, making the pain in their bodies much lessen. Although magic is not omnipotent, there is nothing wrong with weakening the pain nerves of the human body a little.
That night, Kim and Ryan were tossing and turning in bed with bared teeth and unable to sleep, and there seemed to be severe pain everywhere in their bodies.
Fortunately, Sean had been prepared, and the necklace he carried with him contained some medicines refined by the magician Morun, and after using these drugs, the two of them barely persevered.
In this way, with the help of Sean's magic, Kim and Ryan lived in pain and happiness for the next six months......
(To be continued)
