"Thank you, teacher. Salin was overjoyed, and returned to his room with his money bag in his hand. He kept his money bag and Imperial Bank deposit notes in his suitcase, which contained expired IOUs, documents, and his family crest. Saleen stuffed all the money into the box, felt that it was inappropriate, and took it out again, not knowing where to put it.

After tossing for a while, Salin felt that he was a little ridiculous, with the teacher here, what thief dared to enter this house?

Thinking about Jason's time at the City Guard, he unleashed one magic after another with the movement of his fingers, without even reciting spells, and Saleen's heart was excited again. If you can do the same yourself, who else will dare to bully!

Magic is the only truth in this world, and people with magical abilities have transcended the law.

Thinking of this, Salin couldn't sit still, put the money on the bed, and came to the room where the magic books were placed.

Looking at the rows of bookshelves in the room, Salin was a little impatient to read them one by one. He walked backwards to the shelf where the Level 0 magic books were kept.

Level 0 magic is not the most numerous, but less than level 1 magic, and even so, there are four copies of the "General Outline of Level 0 Magic", each of which is as thick as death.

Salin took one from him, sat down on the spot, leaned against the bookshelf and began to flip through it.

Reading, Illumination, Incendiary, Magic Detection, Poison Detection, Invisible Shield......

Reading them one by one, Saleen was a little dazzled, and he found that he really didn't know how to choose to study when there was no theoretical system to support him. Leaning against the bookshelf for a moment, Salin felt that he was a little out of control. Even if you are in a hurry to improve your strength, you should not be too ambitious, and the teacher will definitely leave hidden dangers if you let yourself learn in order and skip the previous foundation by yourself.

Thinking of this, Salin put the "Level 0 Magic Compendium" back on the shelf, returned to the front, and looked at the basics of magic step by step.

Magic is divided into six categories according to caste, but in fact, when learning magic, it is generally classified according to its use. Attack, Protection, Healing, Alchemy, Potions, etc., in addition to the six series, there is also a summoning system, this is a real unpopular magic, the origin time is relatively short, less than 10,000 years, and it declined 5,000 years ago.

There are three stages to unleashing a spell - the preparation phase, the completion phase, and the release phase.

The preparation stage refers to the recitation of mantras, gesture assistance, elemental gathering, and magical resonance. All of this requires the spiritual power of the magician to control it. After training, the magician can shorten the time it takes to prepare for magic, can recite mantras silently, omitting gestures.

The completion phase is when the magic has been formed and can be released at any time, this phase can be extended, and the mage achieves the effect of a dense blow by keeping the prepared mana while preparing a second mana. For example, after a magician prepares a fireball, he can prepare a second fireball spell without releasing it. When the second fireball is ready, release both fireballs at the same time.

This technique is called secondary casting, and is a common means for mages to improve their striking abilities.

Similarly, the second cast also requires the mage to have strong mental power, otherwise it cannot be controlled, and if the elemental disorder occurs, the mage itself will be seriously damaged.

The release phase is not as simple as releasing the prepared magic, this phase includes locking the target, the final cutting of the element, and time control.

These three parts are all completed by mental power, and locking on to the target is the most basic ability, and if there is no tracking ability, there is no difference between a mage and an archer. The final cutting of the element is the key to the consumption of mana, without this ability, the mage's consumption will always be the maximum, and if it is not well controlled, the first-level mage may release two first-level magic spells to consume the magic strings, instead of the ordinary twelve.

Time control refers to the continued control of the released magic, so that the magic is fully released at the most suitable time. This skill is also called Level 2 casting. Advanced mages are skilled in level-2 spellcasting to control the pace of battle. Similarly, secondary spellcasting is also used in the creation of magic scrolls and in alchemy.

Only by fully mastering these abilities can you barely be considered a qualified magician.

Saleen also learns that the values in the basic caste of a magic are not fixed.

The three parts of cast time, cast range, and energy unit are all variable. The cast time of magic is not calculated in seconds, but in the unit of zhen, which is equivalent to one-sixtieth of a second.

Instant casts are not 0 zhen's speed, but 2 zhen. As the saying goes, the magic is instantaneous, but it actually means that the three stages of preparation, completion, and release consume a total of 2 zhen, that is, 2/60 seconds. No matter how powerful a magician is, he can no longer compress this time.

And what causes the illusion of 0 Zhen is the second cast. That is, the magician does not release a spell after completing it, and retains the completed magic. The first completed spell is released at the same time as the second spell is released, in fact, the release phase after the completion phase of this spell is carried out at the same time as the release phase of the second spell, which requires a lot of mental power from the magician.

This kind of skill is called high-level control, and it is a very dangerous behavior.

As Salin looked closer, he realized that he was so ignorant that he thought that magic was only a powerful means of attack. He didn't expect that the basics of magic were so complicated, and if he didn't learn them well, he was afraid that his future progress would be extremely difficult.

Without these basic knowledge, not only is the ability of the magician himself limited to a very small range, but it is also impossible to judge the ability of others.

For example, the value of cast time is minimized and maximized, the value conversion between cast range and attack damage, the relationship between energy units and elemental cuts, and so on. Advanced mages can calculate in an instant and determine what the effect of the magic they unleash, rather than resigning themselves to fate.

Control! The power of magic is control!

Saleen read patiently and began to learn the math, learning how to calculate the magic formulas. This mathematical knowledge is also the key to drawing a magic circle.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed, and Salin hardly stepped out of the room half a step except for food and convenience. The more he studied, the more depressed he felt, his intelligence and spiritual power were so perfect, but his elemental affinity was not good. Even if his elemental affinity is only the standard of ordinary people, it is enough to become an excellent magician.

It's just that I'm a waste wood in terms of elemental affinity, which makes it difficult to form magic strings. Without the magic strings, all this is a castle in the air, on paper.

A year later, Salin is still the standard of a Level 1 apprentice, and the ability of a Level 2 apprentice. He has now learned 5 level 0 magic, reading, poison detection, acid splashing, flame burning, and elemental fusion. The meditation method has been basically mastered, and through meditation, he can quickly recover the lost magic element.

The reason for this effect is that the magical elements deposited in Saleen's body are so scarce that even if he relies on natural recovery and does nothing, it only takes 10 minutes.

What can 3 level 0 magic do? Nothing can be done, if it is used for combat, it is not as good as giving Salin a knife. After at least a year of recuperation, Saleen's body is much healthier, and although he still looks so thin, he has actually gained more strength.

The food sent by the red-haired swordsman last time was gone, and Saleen had to go into the city again. Now he no longer has the ridiculous ideas of half a year ago, what beautiful clothes, popular hairstyles, decent carriages and horses. It's all so stupid and ridiculous for a magician. Only knowledge is the only reliance of a magician.

Putting on the ridiculous robe and changing into the black boots Jason bought for him, Saleen said hello to Jason and left the ancestral house. Jason gave him two bags of gold coins, 100 in total, and a list of items. Wizards' experiments require a lot of low-level materials, and Jason's lab is almost always in operation, and his basic materials are almost consumed in a year.

Ceylon City is a port city, and there are a lot of things you can order here that are not available locally. It only takes a week to get the goods. That's why Jason chose to stay here, a city that is relatively remote and can buy necessities.

Coming to Ceylon City again, this dilapidated city has become completely different in the eyes of Salin. The soldiers defending the city saw Saleen appear on the main road and stood up straight from a distance.

The soldiers at the city gate are subordinate to the city lord's mansion and have nothing to do with the city guard department, but everyone has not forgotten the lesson of half a year ago. The magician went on a killing spree, and the lord of the castle acted as if nothing had happened. The terrible magician lived just outside the city, and the Metatrin boy became a student of the magician.

The eyes of the two soldiers were very strange, envy, jealousy, and fear were mixed together, squeezing out a sneering look.

"Master Meitlin, morning!"

Salin nodded, not sure how to answer. The soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion are much better than the City Guard, and they have never embarrassed themselves when they entered the city by themselves before. At that time, I was like a ball of air, and it was tasteless air. As long as you don't come forward and beg for a fight, no one will be able to see you.

If it had been six months ago, Saleen would have been proud. After going through the affairs of the City Guard, Saleen matured a lot, and he understood that these people were afraid of the teacher, and they were afraid that the fifth-level magician would blow off their heads.

Greeted the sunshine and walked down the main road to the docks. There is a long street at the pier, full of all kinds of shops. The only equipment store in Ceylon City was here, and Saleen stepped in with his leg raised, almost hitting a teenager.

The young man on the opposite side was about the same age as Salin, as if he was frightened by Salin, and he fell under his feet, but he collided with him. Although Salin was only a magic apprentice, his mental power was comparable to that of a real magician, and he had a keen sense, and he noticed that the boy's hand was touching his money bag.

This hand is very secretive, Salin is happy, is it not good for him to go out and meet a thief.

His hand pushed lightly, and the fire flashed and pressed against the boy's hand. The boy on the opposite side felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand, as if he had been burned by a soldering iron. He looked up in amazement and suddenly shouted, "Salin, is that you?"
