The carriage sped along the wide, straight road. Ryan leaned back on the carriage with his eyes closed, looking as if he was asleep. At Ryan's side, Barbara's eyes widened as she stared at the wooden sign hanging from a string across the carriage, the target she used to practice her magic.

Although the road is flat, the carriage will still shake to a certain extent in the gallop, and what Barbara has to do is to recite a magic spell in this environment to attack the wooden card that is used as a target, and Lane's additional requirements for Barbara are to hit the target with a magic missile, but also to control the power of the magic missile, can only hit the wooden card and cannot destroy the wooden card, which is really difficult for Barbara who is still a magic apprentice.

Barbara has been practicing like this for three days, and she has an average of at least 100 magic missiles released every day, which is more mana than magic apprentices can bear, but Barbara has the amethyst ornament that Ryan made for her, as long as she wears it, she can continuously replenish the arcane energy consumed by releasing magic missiles from there.

After more than 300 exercises, Barbara was able to successfully hit the target no more than 10 times, and basically every time she hit the target, she would break or break the wooden card, which made Barbara very distressed, because although the power of the magic missile is not very large, if you can't even break a small wooden card, it is meaningless to use it to attack the enemy.

It seems that Ryan's task for Barbara is an incomplete, and Barbara must be quick and ruthless to hit the swaying wooden card on the bumpy carriage, but the magic missile that meets this requirement will inevitably break the wooden card, which makes Barbara feel at a loss.

"Why, I can't stand this little setback?" Ryan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly spoke: "Didn't you aspire to be a powerful magician, and you wanted to give up so soon?"

"I didn't!" Barbara immediately replied to her teacher, "It's just that it's too ...... It's so hard!"

"Is it difficult?" Ryan opened his eyes, smiled at Barbara, who was glaring at him, and gently extended a finger.

Barbara saw a small ball fly out of Ryan's fingertips, drawing an arc in the air, and gently hitting the wooden card that swayed from side to side, and then the wooden card flew backwards with a crisp sound, but there was a thin rope tied to it, and the wooden card flew back after the rope was tightened, and hung there and shook several times in a row, and slowly returned to its original swing frequency.

"Obviously, this request is not impossible. Ryan said with a smile.

Barbara had been practicing for 3 days, and of course she knew that it would not be easy to do this, so she said to Ryan with a look of adoration, "You are my teacher, of course there is no problem, but I, I have only been studying magic for a few months......"

"Don't weigh the strength against the length of time you study, Barbara. Ryan immediately corrected Barbara's words: "You must know that it only took me a few years from learning magic to going out on adventure alone, and Victor, the ** master who can use forbidden spell magic, is only in his 30s. ”

Barbara muttered quietly, "Isn't it just to show off that you're smarter than me?"

Since Barbara was almost squeezing this sentence out of between her teeth, Ryan didn't hear it clearly, and he asked Barbara, "What did you say?"

Barbara hurriedly replied, "I see, Teacher Fabia." But how do you manage to be as skilled as you are?"

Ryan smiled, patted Barbara on the head and said, "How many times a day do you practice now?"

Barbara tilted her head and calculated, and replied, "I haven't counted the exact number, but there are more than 100 times." ”

Ryan nodded and said to Barbara, "For ordinary magicians, it is also very hard to release hundreds of magic missiles a day......

Barbara rarely heard a word of praise from Ryan's mouth, and her face immediately bloomed, but who knew that Ryan's tone changed, and he said to her in reprimanding words: "It's just that it means that the magician consumes his own mana, and your consumption is obtained from that ornament, which does not really belong to you." ”

"yes, I see. Barbara only felt a little aggrieved, she thought she had worked hard, but Ryan was too strict with her, which made Barbara's frustration grow day by day.

"Do you think I'm being too strict with you?" Ryan asked softly, stroking Barbara's hair.

Barbara nodded involuntarily, but she immediately shook her head desperately and said, "No, no, it's me who doesn't work hard." ”

Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Barbara's cute appearance, but he soon realized that his action was really not conducive to maintaining the majesty of the teacher, so he raised his face and said to Barbara, "It's better to work hard now than to die at the hands of the enemy." ”

Barbara nodded obediently, and Ryan continued: "I remember that when I first came out on an adventure, I didn't have much confidence in my own magic, in fact, I relied more on the martial arts I learned from Teacher Galib. In other words, I use martial arts when I defend and release magic when I attack, and this fighting idea has been maintained for a long time until ......"

When Ryan said this, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the car window outside, and Barbara quickly moved her body and opened the window, but it was Vivien.

"Sister Vivien!" Barbara cried out cheerfully, and Vivien put a hand into the carriage, tapped her little head lightly, and said to Ryan, "Hey, Sophie is awake, she has something to say to you." ”

Knowing that Sophie and Julia's carriage was behind him, Ryan thought for a moment and decided to meet Sophie to see what she was up to. So Ryan tapped lightly on the carriage and shouted, "Pull over!" and the coachman replied respectfully, and then the carriage began to slow down slowly.

Ryan took advantage of this opportunity to speed up his speech and said to Barbara, "There is no shortcut to practicing magic, it is just practice makes perfect. You're just relying on a magic trinket to replenish your mana right now, and if you really use the power you've built, how many missiles can you unleash?"

"Remember, the journey of magic never ends. In pursuit of the power that seems to be within reach, it may take an incredible amount of time and energy. Ryan lovingly stroked Barbara's hair and said to her, "When the carriage rocks, your body has to adapt to it, not force it." In battle, it is the target that can only be released if you are in a good posture, the kind that the enemy likes the most. Not to mention standing or crouching, even if it is sprinting, rolling, or even heading and footing, you must be able to attack anytime and anywhere. ”

Barbara remembered. Barbara nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's experience it for yourself. Is 100 times a day a lot? I had to release at least 1,000 times a day!"

"Wow! How is that possible?" Barbara was startled, and she took Ryan's hand and asked, "Teacher, how did you do that?"

By this time the carriage had come to a standstill, and Ryan pushed the door, turned to Barbara, and said, "I don't advocate for you to do this, but I did it." It's nothing more than skipping meals and sleeping. Spend all your cranky time unleashing magic, and think when your mana runs out. ”

After saying these words, Ryan slowly stepped out of the carriage, and Vivien, who was walking closely with the carriage, also reined in her crotch and jumped off the horse.

"Why don't you get in the car?" Ryan asked Vivien, "You didn't sleep all night last night." ”

"Didn't you sleep all night? Vivien pursed her lips and said, "It's just been crazy all night." Besides, horseback riding is really fun, Adela once told me that her biggest dream is to command a knight order to charge, but it's a pity that ......"

"Of course, I don't mind being targeted by the terrifying presence of the Royal Knights. Ryan spread his hands and said, "This is an imperial ban, but it has been strictly enforced for 200 years. Even Senate, the leader of the rebels, did not set foot in this forbidden area. ”

"Got it, you're getting more and more verbose!" Vivien gave Ryan a light punch in the shoulder, then changed the subject, "The car behind is coming, you can get in the car yourself." ”

"Well, the priest, have you woken up?" Ryan nodded, then asked, "I think she's not hurt." ”

"I persevered carefully, and her body was fine. I think she can't accept that fact, so she has been subconsciously forcing herself into a coma, right? at least so that she doesn't have to wake up and face reality. Vivien said.

"Maybe. Ryan replied casually, and by this time the carriage with Sophie and Julia had stopped beside Ryan, so Ryan said, "I'll go and hear what she has to say, and will you come with me?"

Vivien had an ambiguous smile on her face, she shook her head and said, "Who knows if people are whispering to you, I'm just a little slave, let's go away obediently." ”

Ryan only felt angry and funny, he deliberately glared at Vivien fiercely, and said in a fierce voice: "You still know your identity? I thought the status of the two of us was reversed?" It's a pity that Ryan didn't pretend to be natural enough, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly when he said the end, anyone who saw him like this knew that Ryan should be in a very happy mood at the moment.

"Well, what's the matter, anyway, it's not all the same who is on top and who is down. Vivien replied casually, but she soon realized that there was a great problem in her words, but before she could explain, there was a "hee-hee" laugh from the side, and it was Barbara who poked her little head out of the car window.

Of course, Ryan knew what kind of ambiguity Vivian's words had, but he didn't expect Barbara, who was only a teenager, to hear it, he was annoyed and angrily knocked on Barbara's exposed head, and then said viciously: "Practice honestly, I want to inspect you at night, ten consecutive shots and 20-meter target shooting, and if you can't pass dinner, save it." ”

"Ahh
