Chapter 22: The Crystal Scepter and the Convergence of Abilities

When it comes to magic, then we must first mention a super organization, a huge organization spread across the continent that belongs only to mages - the Crystal Scepter Magic Guild. This guild has been around for hundreds of years, and it is both a club for magicians and the most authoritative department for explaining the word "magic". In addition to being wealthy, the fanatical belief in magic has attracted 95% of the magicians in the continent to join the guild. No matter which remote town it is, you can see the huge and eye-catching six-pointed star symbol on the roof of the Crystal Scepter Guild from afar.

A continental-level organization like this, with many members, deep pockets, and great power, is absolutely unwilling to define itself as a "club" that simply serves everyone. They are ambitious and large, and their influence is widespread, and the tentacles of power penetrate into all corners of social life. They attach great importance to the "right to speak", and can even do extreme things in order to maintain it. Although everyone knows about it, there is no way for anyone to take this Crystal Scepter Guild.

Extreme guilds have their own extreme members. The profession of "magician" is extremely noble and mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people. These people who like to wear ornate robes and walk with precious stones leave an image of the world, often perverted, eccentric, powerful, wise, and high-minded. The people who can become magicians are often the elites of society such as the intelligent, the rich, or the aristocratic royal family.

Magic is not something that anyone can learn if they want to, and the difficulty is very perverted. Magical words that make up magic spells, esoteric quirks, obscure. The long list of incantations was recited, slurred and laborious. There are also "Magic Array Theory", "Enchantment Theory", "Elemental Spell Theory" and "Psychomechanics Theory" that challenge the limits of mental powerIn the large library of the Crystal Scepter Headquarters, there are dozens of rooms for books on these three categories alone. It is too difficult to get started, and people who are not well educated, no matter how talented they are, will not be able to catch them. And the education of magic has always been monopolized by guilds, and schools like Warblood have been connected with guilds. The purpose of monopolizing magical education is to pay for expensive tuition.

Magic is also the prerogative of the elite. Even if you are lucky enough to be educated and want to learn more powerful magic, you are destined to go further on this path without money. Every successful middle and high-level magician is burned with a universal ticket. First of all, you have to buy magic-related books, and you can buy a few carriages at random. Then the magic scrolls have to be bought, carefully made by others, used by themselves to practice, and each scroll is expensive. In addition, there are related herbs, which are used for experimentation or refining, and money. In order to strengthen oneself, a staff with a powerful amplification and equipment that can improve cultivation are also indispensable, and the best of the elite spark is simply the price of a cabbage compared to the mage's suit. Because only magicians can make equipment suitable for magicians, and the cost of just hiring magicians is another sky-high price.

As for more, Li Te himself couldn't tell, after all, he was also a half-asser when it came to magic.

Everyone got closer to their goal, and when they all felt a little tired, they decided to stop and rest. They are not acting blindly, there has always been an inexplicable connection between Carl and his magical golden dagger "Blood Phoenix Dagger", and no matter how far away they can sense the direction and position. It is with this positioning that everyone is constantly moving towards the goal. And Carl also found that the target had never moved, either the dagger fell on the side of the road or in the lair of the phantom beast, and it was obvious that the second could be larger.

Drink water, drink water, and this magic class continues with the only light mage in the industry, "Crying God". Originally, he was an introvert who didn't talk much, but when he mentioned his major, he immediately seemed to have changed as if he had changed his profession, and he talked about it endlessly.

In order to better distinguish the strength of magicians, the Crystal Scepter Guild divides all magicians into eight levels from low to high, and subdivides them into primary, middle, high, and special four levels from level 1 to level 8. Level 123 is a beginner mage, level 45 is an intermediate mage, level 6 is a rank mage, and level 6 and above are called special mages. Like the God of Crying, he just passed the strength assessment of a first-level magician last year and became an official junior magician. And to protect everyone in the Cloud Beast Crisis, the chief Shui Zhi, who can perform large-scale healing techniques and is famous, is only a fourth-level mid-level magician. It can be seen how strict the level assessment of magicians is.

The level and level can accurately reflect the true strength of the magician, symbolizing how advanced the magician can use. On the six corners of the six-pointed star, the symbol of the Magic Guild, there are wind, fire, water, earth, thunder, and wood, and at the core of the six-pointed star, there are five and five opposites of light and darkness. These eight series of magic also cover almost all the magic in the continent, of course, there are some special situations that are not yet known. Theoretically speaking, the light and darkness at the core are stronger than the six elements on the hexagon. However, magic is like a weapon, and it is always the person who can use it flexibly to win. Eight systems of magic, eight worlds, each system of magic has its own leafy skill tree, the more you go to the "treetops", the stronger the magic is, from small increases to big destruction.

The key is that the stunt of the martial arts depends on the qi source of the dantian to be performed, and what does the dazzling magic rely on? The brain and the spiritual power! These two complement each other and are indispensable.

Only those who are smart and wise can learn magic, and learning magic can also make people wise. Indeed, it's almost a process of infinite brain development. When the brain is developed to a certain extent, it can have "mental power". This ability, which has been sleeping in the depths of the brain, is the connection and bridge between the magician and the elements of heaven and earth, perhaps more vividly than the "thread" of a marionette. The more the brain develops, the stronger the mental power, the more brain power increases, and the more mantras can be memorized and recited.

Since the brain is the source of a magician's strength, the cultivation method is also different from the training of the body. Magicians can enter a state of meditation at any normal time, which is a state of confusion and forgetfulness, and even makes the brain forget to control the body. Through meditation, the "mind" is also there, and the mental power depends on the size of the "mind", which magicians prefer to call "the Styx". How strong the spiritual power is, how strong the magic is in theory.

"But in the end, the magician became wiser, but his body became weaker. If he can't react, a small pebble flying may kill him. Therefore, magicians always like to cover half of their face with their hats to block stones. ”

"Hahahaha, no wonder the chief ...... of water governance" inexplicably poked everyone's laughter, and couldn't help laughing.

"Turns out you can tell jokes too. Okay, okay, in front of the junior, give me a chance, and I'll talk about the ability. The mad bull spoke.

Da Bang laughed and said, "You? You haven't memorized the theory of your ability yet, right? I did well in the exam last year, and you only got a passing grade." Don't show off. ”

Unhurriedly, the mad bull took out a thick book from his backpack, the color was extremely ordinary, and the four big characters "The Convergence of Abilities" were written on it.

Crazy Bull said: "Hmph, don't laugh at the big collapse." Now that I've almost finished reading this book, I'm sure I'll do well in this year's theory exam. Although my ability is only in the initial manifestation stage, my father has already told me that I will definitely enter the full form stage within ten years. ”

Li Teh said suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Crazy Bull smiled: "Haha, the boss asked well, I'll just say it." My dad is ostensibly the owner of the Eternal Tavern, but in fact he ...... Haha, let me show off my abilities first. He also realized that something was wrong and decided to change the subject.

"Ahh "You should have seen my transformation!" At this moment, the mad bull's body has become much taller, and the muscles of his upper body have also swelled to an amazing extent. Everyone looked at this mad bull who was like the two people just now, and they should be disdainful and surprised. Originally, like Lee, he was short and had a head, but now he could look down at him. Because the mad bull is wearing a set of black tights and white soft armor, the clothes are still intact, which shows that the elasticity is excellent.

Crazy Bull said: "Collapse, do you still want to fight a real ability? My ability is a rare combat beast blood ability. Da Bang just smiled and gestured to you doing what you wanted.

If money can smash a magician, then no matter how rich you are, you can't just smash a supernatural person. Compared to the number of martial arts cultivators, the number of magicians is pitifully small and precious. After all, there are not so many wise people on the mainland, and the elite class is a minority after all. The martial arts are exquisite, the master leads the door, the practice is in the individual, and the stupid bird flies first and finally has a bright day. Magic is demanding, the innate foundation must be good, and the acquired financial resources must be strong, so as to perfectly use the magic and combat art. In addition to mentors, talents, and financial resources, the most important "chance" is also needed, without which everything is empty talk. This is the reason why the Adeptus is the least rare compared to the two factions before the war.

There is a strange person in the world, who spent 50 years traveling all over the continent to complete the research and collection, and wrote a legendary book - "The Collection of Strange Abilities", which has been circulated in the world for 30 years, and has thousands of readers, and its influence will be long-lasting, and it will inevitably affect future generations. People who have seen him, from the emperor and nobles to the common people, all praise the greatness of the author and sigh at the author's hard work. Professionals want to find fault with this book, but they can't find it, and this "Summary of Abilities" contains every known ability on the continent in detail, and the introduction of each ability is exactly the same as the real ability. This book is both a gospel for the Mighty and a remedy for all who fear the Mighty. Because the ability itself is a double-edged sword.
