Chapter 137: Inheritance (2)
"I said that you have surpassed me, which is of course a compliment to you, but it is also a truth, because I am indeed inferior to you in terms of understanding the fireball technique." Draeney nodded and said, "Maybe you're no match for me in other ways, but you can command seven fireballs at the same time, and I'm going to have a hard time doing that." It's just that it's not enough for you to have this kind of magic control, you also have to have the mana to match it, otherwise you won't be able to defeat the enemy, and you can only do a magic show. ”
Draen's words made Ryan feel very deeply, which is also Ryan's biggest confusion at present, ordinary magicians are the pursuit of power as much as possible, and control and skill are not important positions, but Ryan is the opposite, his magic control ability is comparable to that of a mage, but the magic power is only at the level of an ordinary intermediate mage, fortunately, Ryan has a unique way under the teaching of Dranay and Victor, with "mental power oscillation" and "multiple spell casting" stunts, which allows him to have a number of proud records.
"Then how can I improve my own strength?" Ryan seemed to go back to the time when he was in the Dense Fog Array a few years ago, when he humbly asked the teacher for advice: "I remember Victor also said this, but his advice to me was to practice multicasting. I can now cast multiple spells at once, and the magic itself doesn't increase in power, but it has a numerical advantage. ”
"I have to say that the advice given to you by Victor is very good. Drane said to Ryan, "Of course, more importantly, you can do this, and that's the most rare thing." Looking back now, when you first learned magic from me, you were a little guy who didn't know anything. ”
"Well, now is not the time to remember the past. After a few words of emotion, Draeney left and turned the subject back: "I'll take you to a place, and I should tell you a lot of things." ”
With that, Draena took Ryan to another place using the teleportation array.
Ryan had used this internal teleportation array more than once in Victor and Blair's magic towers, so he had long been used to it, and as soon as the teleportation was over, Ryan looked around. The space is still not very large, and the furnishings are very simple, except for an altar-like platform on which a crystal sarcophagus is placed.
Ryan was stunned for a moment, because this scene was very similar to what he had encountered in the Elmida Mine, wasn't it there that Catherine had resurrected a Blood, and why did her own teacher have this hobby?
Dranay slowly walked to the side of the crystal sarcophagus, squatted down gently, and put his hand on the sarcophagus, and Ryan couldn't see his teacher's expression or see what was inside the sarcophagus, so he walked quickly around the side and stood beside the teacher.
Ryan first looked inside the sarcophagus, where lay a woman of about twenty years of age, who was not as beautiful as Catherine, but had a delicate face, and at first glance looked more like a lovely girl next door.
The woman was also wearing a very inconspicuous-looking robe, and she lay peacefully in the sarcophagus as if she were taking a nap. Ryan's brows furrowed slightly, the more he looked at this woman, the more he felt that she was very familiar, he should have seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
Drahane closed her eyes and gently stroked the sarcophagus, and from Ryan's angle, she could see him caressing the face of the woman in the sarcophagus, even though Dranay's hand was still separated from the woman by a sarcophagus. After a few moments, Draena stood up and spun around.
"Ryan, you must be wondering who this woman is. Drae spoke slowly, "She's my teacher, Jessy. ”
"Jessie?" Ryan felt very familiar after hearing this name, he must have heard it somewhere, he calmed down and recalled, suddenly remembered something, and immediately shouted: "Jessie, is that Jerhee, one of the Seven Heroes?
"Yes. Draeney said in a flat tone, "But in my eyes, she's just an ordinary girl next door, Jessy." ”
Ryan felt his teacher's love for Jess from Dranay's words, and instead of speaking, he quietly listened to his teacher tell him the story that happened many years ago.
"At that time, I was probably only a teenager, was it? Thirteen or fourteen? Alas, I don't remember exactly, after all, it was almost 100 years ago. At that time, I was just a small apprentice in a shop, toiling every day to survive. It was a cloudy afternoon, and I remember it very well......"
"'Ma'am, how can I help you?' I asked her aloud, and she turned around and smiled at me: 'Do you like magic?'
"Holding the magic book she gave me, I was so excited that I didn't sleep for several days, and whenever I had time, I read it carefully and meditated desperately. Looking back now, it was a hard time, working in the shop for more than 10 hours during the day, and meditating at night against drowsiness......"
"I still remember the joy I felt when I first successfully cast my magic, and at that moment, I finally understood my heart, I practiced magic so hard that I wanted to see her again one day. ”
"I saw her again, but that was two years later. She still remembers me and can actually call my name out there. I was so excited, I had been teaching myself magic for 2 years, and I had too many puzzles, and in the days I was with her, I almost kept asking questions, and then writing down her answers by heart, I had no money, I couldn't afford to buy magic notes, so I could only write them down in my head. ”
"Five years later, I'm 21 years old, many of my peers have married and had children, and I'm still single. All my time is spent on magic. This time, she came again, but her first words were to make fun of me: 'Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone with the strength of a junior magician still working as an apprentice in a shop. Well, by the way, have you ever wanted to see the outside world?'"
