"Congratulations on you, Ryan, it's really rare to be able to step into the legendary realm in just ten years!" Galib nodded at Ryan and said in a deep voice: "In my previous experience, there were very few people who could achieve this kind of achievement, and they all had better conditions. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Galib. Ryan replied respectfully.

"I said don't talk about it, in fact, I didn't help you much on your path of growth, it was nothing more than the initial enlightenment, and you finally chose another path that was completely different from mine. Galib shook his head, although he was also happy that Ryan could achieve today, but he was unwilling to take credit, after all, Draeney and Victor helped Ryan more.

"No, Mr. Galib, in my opinion, it is you who deserve the most thanks to what I am today!" Ryan hurriedly said, "I don't dare to call myself a magical genius, that's not just a title to satisfy the inner desires of some guys." It may seem like a rare thing that it took me less than 10 years to get into magic, but when I look back now, it wasn't the moment I stepped into the realm of legends, but the moment you took me on that path. ”

"This is not a compliment, Mr. Galib. Ryan said emotionally: "If all the intelligent beings on the entire continent are gathered together and taught them magic knowledge in a unified manner, I believe that countless high-level magicians will soon emerge, and that number is definitely more than dozens of times the number of magicians recorded in all magic guilds now! ”

"However, the actual situation in the mainland now is that there is a serious shortage of magicians, especially high-level magicians, the kind of powerful people who can really take charge of themselves, and there are only a few people such as Victor, Blair, and Catherine. Why? Because there are so few low-level magicians? Why? Because there are fewer apprentices who have access to magic!"

"A farmer, if he decides to stop farming and rely on mercenaries as a means of earning his own living, can sell his field and use the money to buy a weapon, and the rest is the cost of the journey. As long as he registers in the nearby mercenary guild, the farmer becomes a small warrior, and as for his future achievements, it all depends on his own efforts. ”

"But what about becoming a magician? Not to mention the artificial barriers set up by the magic guilds in various places, the cost of learning magic theory in the academy for a few years is enough to collapse the civilian families living at the bottom! Many teenagers with magical talents have lost the opportunity to change their destiny because of this. ”

"One of the things I've always been happiest and happiest about meeting you when I was young, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Dranay, and naturally I would have grown up like other children, or I would have become a hunter, or I would have simply bought a weapon and become a warrior, relying on mercenaries to support myself. Maybe I will become the best hunter in Dense Mist Town, and even hold an important position in a mercenary group with good strength on the continent, but I will definitely not have the strength that is enough to change the balance of power on the continent today, absolutely not!"

"Aren't you the person I respect the most, Mr. Galib?" Ryan said this, his eyes moistened a little, he raised his head slightly, cast his gaze to the sky, and continued, "That's why I taught magic at Cassano for free, and why I wrote that book. It's not that this world is devoid of magical geniuses, but there are no people who have discovered geniuses, and there are no means to cultivate geniuses. Now that I can change my destiny and embark on a different path, I believe that I can also forge a path that no one has ever tried or failed before. ”

"Do you know how difficult it is for you to do now?" Galib also seemed to be touched by Ryan's true feelings, he had only agreed to teach Ryan martial arts for an accidental reason, but unexpectedly changed the fate of a teenager, and now, the boy who changed his fate chose a more rugged truth, will he succeed? Galib didn't know, but Galib knew how powerful the hindrance this young man would face in the future, wasn't it because of such resistance that Galib left his hometown forever and wandered to the end of the world?

"Somebody has to do something. Ryan said to Galib in a very calm tone.

Galib took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "Many things, it's better to say it and do it than to do it well." An ordinary magic missile may not kill even an edelweiss rabbit, but when a sufficient number of magic missiles are gathered together in the form of a storm, even gods will be sideways. And all you need now is time, understand?"

Ryan nodded thoughtfully, while Galib sighed and continued: "Your current strength is almost self-preservation, if you are allowed to run into that Catherine again now, although you are still at a disadvantage, it is still no problem to escape." ”

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Galib, how did you do that?" At the mention of Catherine, Ryan immediately remembered that Galib had just ignored the effect of his time stopping magic, and the last time Catherine attacked, Galib had taken Catherine away, and opened his mouth to ask.

"Actually, it's very simple, any magic has a range of effect, such as elemental magic, fierce flames can destroy almost all living things, but for creatures living on the fire elemental plane, they are the most delicious tonic. The magic of 'Time Stop' is actually nothing, but it belongs to the spatial type of spell, and this type of magic is unfamiliar to most magicians, which makes you think that this is just a powerful spell, as if you were helpless when you encountered 'Void Protection' before. ”

"So there's a weakness in time stopping?"

"Yes, that's for sure, Ryan. Galib explained to his students: "For example, the kind of race with an almost infinite lifespan is completely unaffected by this magic, such as gods and demons, since their existence is not measured by time, then how can you, a magic that only imprisons the passage of time, affect them? ”

"I see!" Ryan nodded, and then asked curiously, "Then Mr. Galib, what kind of realm have you reached?"

"Haha, my situation belongs to the third category. Galib suddenly laughed, he patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Of course, my current strength is still a little stronger than yours, but it is not the kind that is insurmountable, after all, I am much older than you, and I have been in the legendary realm for much more time than you, and it is normal to have a little skill." ”

"Wow, that's so!" Ryan was even more curious this time, and he whispered, "Can you tell me about it, Mr. Galib, if I can master this skill, then I won't have to worry about meeting an opponent like Catherine in the future?"

"Hahahaha! Even if I tell you, it's useless, because you can't do it at all, these are two different choices, you can't give up your magic power and go back to learn martial arts again, unless you have a long enough time, otherwise the so-called Demon Martial Arts Double Cultivation is just a Demon Martial Arts Double Waste. ”

"Oh, I see. Ryan was a little disappointed, but he quickly put the negative feeling behind him, now that he had stepped into the legendary realm, as long as he moved slowly, he would definitely master more powerful magic skills, and by that time he would have found a countermeasure to the magic of 'Time Stops'.

"Well, let me ask you something. Galib hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question hidden in his heart: "What is the origin of the woman named Catherine that night?

Ryan was a little surprised by Galib's behavior, but he did not doubt his teacher, but said to Galib in a vicissitudes of tone: "Speaking of this Catherine, alas, maybe no one else in this world knows her true origin except me. ”

Ryan slowly told Galib everything he knew about Catherine in detail, from Catherine's study in the Magic Guild of Mochizuki City, to her escape from King Alexander's marriage, to being taken away by the demigod lich and transformed into a lich, after hundreds of years of practice, she was once again converted into a human being, returned to the mainland to participate in the royal competition, and then became the wife of Fernando XIII step by step, and finally became the queen of the empire, all the experiences were recounted, except for a few ambiguous contacts between Ryan and Catherine, Ryan did not hide anything。

When Galib heard the name "Alexander Andrew" from Ryan's mouth, he fell into deep thought quite unusually, and finally when Ryan finished telling the whole story, Galib sighed faintly and said to Ryan: "So although Catherine tried to kill you many times, she didn't actually cause any irreversible damage?"

Ryan felt even more strange after hearing Garyb's words, why did his teacher suddenly say good things about that lich, this doesn't seem to be Garyb's style?And Ghaleb saw Ryan's appearance, and immediately understood Ryan's thoughts, he thought about it, and then said: "Ryan, I know that your strength is not as good as Catherine's now, so I won't ask you for anything." But if you have enough strength to keep yourself safe, I hope you don't hurt Catherine's life. ”
