Chapter 115: Magic Exchange Meeting (4)
Victor made a very ordinary walking stick, which is usually used by magicians to cast spells, but Victor's work has neither obvious magic arrays, nor inlaid magic cores and gems, if you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will think that this is Victor's work.
Victor stood up, he took the cane in the palm of his hand, and then slowly walked off the platform, at this time Blair and his assistant had returned to their own platform, leaving the venue to Victor, Victor did not arrange for others to prepare any test props for him, but only used the two dummies that Blair had left.
Victor waved his cane casually, causing it to cut through the air, producing a "whirring" sound, and then a pale red halo and a light green halo appeared on the staff, and these two halos directly enveloped Victor.
The surrounding audience all held their breath and watched Victor's demonstration with expectant eyes, but to their great disappointment, Victor picked up his cane and smashed it directly on a dummy, knocking the dummy and shaking it incessantly. Victor seemed to feel that one was not enough, and swung his cane several times in succession, and the sound of each collision made the hearts of the onlookers twitch constantly, as if it made people breathless.
After Victor's demonstration, the dummy he smashed continuously was only a little tilted, which made everyone stunned, and a few magicians whispered as if comforting themselves: "Well, there must be some special effects that we haven't seen, yes, the work of the ** master must be quite good, maybe it's a legendary artifact ......"
"I think your hearts must be full of doubts right now. Victor suddenly spoke: "Just now we saw Master Blair's work, and now we see my work, everyone must wonder, why is there such a big contrast between the front and back, and what is different about my work?"
It is undeniable that Victor's words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, but he did not sell it, and he quickly solved the mystery: "In fact, this cane is no different from the ones sold in ordinary magic supply stores, of course, the only difference is that the few magic blessings on it are rare." I only blessed 3 magic spells on this work, the power of the bull, the sensitivity of the civet, and the stone skin of the body. β
As soon as Victor's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, because these magic spells are not to say that Victor is a ** master, even ordinary junior magicians can easily do it, and the whole scene has become chaotic......
Victor smiled, just stood quietly and waited for the heated discussion of the surrounding audience, the time passed minute by minute, until more than 30 minutes later, Luke couldn't stand it anymore, so he whispered to the Holy Knight Bacon and others who were responsible for maintaining the order of the scene to stop this meaningless argument, and Luke also glanced at Victor with a complicated look, hoping that he would not show weakness on this occasion, although Victor saw Luke's eyes on himself, but still only smiled faintly, and did not say muchγ
"This cane is not actually for magicians, or to be more precise, not for magicians who still have mana. Victor spoke eloquently in front of an audience of more than 10,000 people: "As long as the magician still has mana, he can cast spells and fight, a real magician will not rely on external forces, because this will make him lose the motivation to move forward." β
"When the magician exhausts his mana with all his might, this staff will give him the last protection, the power of the bull and the sensitivity of the civet cat will make the magician more powerful than usual, and his skills will become more and more flexible, as for the body protection stone skin, it is not necessary to protect the magician himself. β
"This is ridiculous!" a gray-haired magister stood up and yelled at Victor, "We are noble magicians, we have our own dignity, and those rude behaviors should not happen to us......"
"Dead people will not have dignity!" Victor's powerful words interrupted the white-haired magistur's shout: "War has never had such dignity, there are only victories and defeats, and history has always been written by the victors. Do you want to be killed by what you think is noble, or do you use all means to survive to the end?"
Seeing that his words had caused many people to ponder, Victor began to ask rhetorically: "Today, why do I make such a simple magic item? With my strength, can't I make a beautiful work?" I believe that many magicians go to the Blackstone Auction House every year to buy my work with a lot of money, right?"
"The reason why I do this is to warn everyone that if a magician wants to really grow, there will inevitably be one bottleneck after another, magic apprentices are troubled by how to gather magic elements for their own use, and junior magicians are troubled by their own lack of mana, and when they reach senior magicians, they feel that their magic power is insufficient...... After encountering this situation, some magicians choose to study both, and when their own strength is stagnant, they go back to study another line of magic, but others choose to use magic items to make up for their shortcomings. β
"I'm not against the use of magic items, but I'm adamant about relying heavily on magic items, because that will make you forget your own shortcomings, and even slowly develop inertia, just imagine, when a magician struggles and spends years to release a fireball, and another person who doesn't understand magic at all tears a scroll and releases a fireball, what will everyone choose?"
"Once everyone gets used to relying on magic items, then the overall magic level of our human race will inevitably decline, in fact, we now have people who have passed the promotion of senior magicians in the Magic Guild can make everyone talk about it for a while, how many high-level magicians do we humans currently have, and this number was only the number of promotions in a year 200 years ago!"
"I'm not saying this to anyone, but I want to warn everyone that magic items can be used, but don't rely on them so much that the strength of them is greatly reduced without magic items. What's more, when you have magical power, it belongs to you, and others can't steal it, but what about magic items? On the battlefield, even if the mana is exhausted, it can be restored after a period of meditation, but what about magic items? Do you still have to carry a team of magicians with you to make them for you?"
