Chapter 11: Magic and the Book of Spells

"Grandpa Vank, I want to go to Overwatch City to learn magic. The mercenary said I had a little talent for magic. ”

Luo Xue conveyed Ein's thanks to Van Ke, and cherished the brooch that Ein had given him. The brooch is in golden bloom, revealing a different luster.

"Our family has been a family of soldiers for generations, and each generation has been the best in the city of Overwatch. Until 20 years ago, the family was at its peak. Van Ke looked at the brooch and talked about his past.

"I used to be a squadron leader in the forest country, and I was ordered to go to Watch City, and my duty was to guard the border of the Demon Forest, focusing on taking care of the demonic beasts in the forest, which is a very important position. 20 years ago, during a team patrol, it was deliberately bombarded by the secret French, and the whole team suffered heavy casualties. I also suffered a blow to my leg and retired like that. "My son, Fan Zhen, accepted the appointment of the Sen Kingdom to succeed me in his position. He quickly demonstrated his talent and strength, living up to expectations and rising through the ranks until he succeeded in becoming the deputy lord of Overwatch City. Speaking of Fan Xi'er's father, Fan Ke spoke with pride.

"In the 10 years he has been in office, there have been countless wars, although there have been victories and defeats, but he has not ceded any of his territory, and the most important thing is his retreat from the Warcraft, and no wisdom of the Warcraft has dared to step further within a radius of dozens of miles from the Watch City, so it has been jointly awarded the title of 'Warrior of Demons' by all countries in the world. As for what's next...... You already know. Vank's voice became low.

"Since then, our generation has declined, and I have returned to my hometown with my granddaughter, and I just want to live a peaceful life. These days are also peaceful, but it's a pity that Fan Xi'er suffered. ”

Van Ke led Luo Xue to his room, affectionately stroking the broken sword hanging diagonally on the wall.

"The name of this sword is 'Fan', and it is just made of ordinary fine iron, which has accompanied us for dozens of generations, after a hundred battles, and has been close to psychic. It is a pity that the heart and spirit of each generation of masters are never ceaseless to pour into him, making it so pure spiritually complex. Vank's words seemed to provoke the reaction of the broken sword, and the simple hilt of the sword trembled slightly, looking for his palm, wanting to be held in his hand again.

Broken by the powerful force, it lost too much spirituality, and only this only consciousness was transmitted to the bottom of Vank's heart with this touch.

Touching the scene, he burst into tears, "Say something about the expedition, the person will be gone, how is it possible!" Suddenly, Fanke's calloused hands gripped the blade fiercely, venting his unwillingness. Although the blade was sharp, "Fan" seemed to feel the grief and indignation of the user, and the spiritual blade shook violently, as if crying, and did not cut Vank's fingers. "That was just a daily Warcraft crusade!"

Luo Xue looked at Fanke, opened her mouth hesitantly, and did not speak.

"Haha, this person is old, and he can't control his feelings. Vank turned around and wiped away his tears and snorted haha. He quickly returned to his serious demeanor and said, "Overwatch City is not a good place to stay, you must be careful about your words and actions. This is my admonition. ”

Luo Xue nodded solemnly, understanding the meaning of Grandpa Vanke's words.

"It's a good thing that you say you have the potential to learn magic! I don't know much about magic, and I only know that you don't have the talent of a warrior, but I can tell you about my understanding of magic. Van Ke pulled out a small dusty box from under the bed, rummaged through it for a while, and finally pulled out a clear crystal ball, a book, and a scroll.

"If you want to learn magic, you must first learn to perceive the elemental aura on this land, this is the precious elemental perception prop I bought when I was young and tried to perceive the elemental breath, I was expecting that kid Fan Zhen to have a magical talent, but it ended up on you. Van Ke cautiously held the crystal ball and pointed at Luo Xue to ask him to come over.

"This crystal ball increases the user's perception of the elements. And the elements of perception are manifested on it. ”

"Here, take your hand and lean on it and try it. Pay attention to the elemental aura around your body. It's a good idea to close your eyes to help you focus. He told Luo Xue the main points, and at the same time instructed Luo Xue to conduct a non-standard test.

Luo Xue approached the crystal ball, tentatively put her hand on the crystal ball, and quickly closed her eyes and began to meditate.

Under this deliberate search, I don't know if it was the psychological effect or the crystal ball that played a role, and gradually Luo Xue felt that there seemed to be smoke around her, and there was a little earthy yellow in this smoke. "Alright" It didn't take 30 seconds for the sound of Van Ke shouting to stop.

He hurriedly opened his eyes, his concentrated attention instantly dispersed, and at that moment he saw a fleeting yellow light in the crystal ball.

"That person is right, you do have an elemental affinity, and it is a solid earth element, but unfortunately this affinity is too low, and you need to use a crystal ball to feel it. With this level of elemental perception, almost no academy is willing to accept you. ”

Luo Xue's heart was depressed for a while, and most of the enthusiasm she had expected was immediately extinguished. But the confidence was regained by the next sentence.

"But it doesn't matter, the affinity of the elements is only related to the maximum number of elements that can be mobilized, that is, the maximum level of magic cast. If it's normal magic, as long as you can memorize it, there is no difference in the difficulty of casting it. And you were introduced by that person, so it shouldn't be a problem. Van Ke seemed to trust the man, and his tone was confident. He then told Luo Xue about the types of magic and the classification of spells.

"The first is to release magic, there are four ways to release magic, the first kind of magic needs to be memorized, for example, if a person's memory grid has three squares, he can only memorize three fireball magic spells a day, and the number of times each magic is released is different according to the framework of magic, for example, a memorized fireball magic can be cast six times a day. With the exception of some large forbidden spells and powerful spells, most spells only require one memory slot.

The second type of magic is a two-pronged contract with the world, in which the world replaces the releaser's memory magic, and in return, the contractor must protect the world. It's a contract that hardly hurts. Since this method of casting magic does not require memorization, it is extremely simple, and as long as the mental power allows, large-scale magic can also be easily obtained.

The third type of magic is cast through a spellcasting medium. This kind of magic also does not require memory, and the mental power consumed will also be reduced, as long as the magic casting framework is temporarily outlined in your mind, with the corresponding casting materials, and the casting materials can be released by pinching the casting materials in your hands.

The fourth type of magic, in fact, is to directly mobilize simple elements to gather and combine into simple magic without going through the framework of magic. This casting method is still in development, and I don't know how it is going. With the exception of the fourth method, all spells require chanting before they can be cast, so this fourth method is also called instant chanting. “

Looking at the young man in front of him who was listening and listening with great interest, Van Ke remembered himself when he was young for a while, and he also went to Overwatch City to find the future with dreams like he did at that time.

"Grandpa Vank, what's wrong?" "Well, it's nothing. “

Van Ke came back to his senses, forgetting that he had not introduced the classification of magic, opened the scroll he was holding in his hand, and said to Luo Xue: "This scroll is a friendship I once exchanged for in Overwatch City, it is a magic scroll engraved on it by mages who temporarily sacrificed their memory grids, and a hell flame is stored in it, but unfortunately the mage who engraved this magic is no longer there." You can take it, maybe it will be useful. “

Immediately afterwards, Van Ke showed Luo Xue a book in his right hand: "There is also this book, although it is a little old, it is a magic book handed down by a certain magical ancestor of our family, which records the casting framework and opinions of various magics. The ancestor majored in occultism and studied spiritual magic, but I think there are some records of earth magic in it. Van Ke handed the scroll and the magic book to Luo Xue.

Although Luo Xue didn't know the value of the magic book, the information he consulted in the town library in his spare time told him that it was a valuable item that he couldn't afford to sell himself. He was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say. It took a long time for two words to pop up on his lips: "Thank you." "It's all a family, whatever you thank, take it." Van Ke stuffed the magic book and scroll to Luo Xue, and looked at him with satisfaction, as if he was looking at his proud son-in-law. "It's really good to pick it up......" He stroked his big white beard with satisfaction, and inadvertently spat out such a paragraph. "What?" Luo Xue stood awkwardly, thinking that he was going to be reprimanded, indicating that he didn't understand the meaning clearly.

"It's nothing. Realizing that he had said something he had leaked, Van Ke coughed twice to hide his past. "Okay, I think I hear the sick's voices, let's take care of them. With that, she pushed him out of the room.

Sure enough, it was both grandparents and grandchildren, both of whom had a red-faced problem, this is a disease that can be cured, Luo Xue thought blankly, put the things in her hand into her room, and went out to take care of this large number of wounded, sick and disabled. "Who called me?" "No one called you, are you mentally retarded or deaf!"

To treat his patients kindly, Luo Xue smiled and said to the adventurer who scolded him: "Seeing that your injuries will not heal for a while, why don't you come to some free quick treatment, wrap it up in a day, just like being healed by a great priest." “

The unreasonable adventurer asked suspiciously, "Why are you so kind, there must be a ghost." "Say a wrong word, let the God of Light give me thunder in the sky. “

"And this kind of good thing! I want it too!"

"I, I, I still have me!" began to heckle the people around him. "Don't rob it, it's me who says heal me!" The adventurer's desire for exclusivity suddenly increased, and he didn't care about any traps in it.

So Luo Xue rummaged through the medicine cabinet and took out Naye Whisker with a smile.

So in the town, in a house with the brand name of Forest Medicine Workshop, there was a terrible howl of a patient that could be heard several miles away.
