Chapter 13 Initiation and Acting Skills

Whether it is Mu Yan's description or Xia Duo's own understanding, the mage profession is more like a scientist before Xia Duo crossed over, except that the "scientists" of Feren can gain magical power from research.

Xia Duo may not be a qualified scientific researcher, but modern thinking is definitely the most suitable for becoming a mage.

Mu Yan paused for a moment after speaking, as if he was giving Xia Duo time to think, but soon got to the point-

"The next step is the Bard's Initiation, unlike other spell-casting professions that require contact with magic, Bard Initiation only needs to choose a poem you like, familiarize yourself with it, interpret it, and when you indulge in it without limit, call it, magic will appear from the poem."

Shado knew that there must be some tricks to obtaining magic, otherwise it would be impossible for any performer to become a bard. But the problem is that if you want to become a bard, you must have a certain level of acting skills.

Xia Duo smiled bitterly in his heart, he was not an actor before the crossing, he was just an ordinary Internet writer, so how to start enlightenment?

"You can also choose the poetry of your hometown, the most important thing is to like and identify with the emotions in the poem, let's go through it first." Mu Yan nodded.

Xia Duo can think of many poems that he likes, but the first thing that comes to his mind at this moment is the sentence - "Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival." ”

Yesterday was the Midsummer Festival in the Continent of Faeron, and the people in Savile Town rejoiced, but the excitement was theirs, and it had nothing to do with Xia Duo, on the contrary, the more lively the atmosphere, the more Xia Duo reminded of his hometown.

——[Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival to think of relatives]

Xia Duo read it in Chinese, seven characters before and after, and read it out in a subdued tone, although Mu Yan couldn't understand what it meant, but Karatu or "Da Xia" was based on the Chinese on the earth, and Mu Yan was able to appreciate the beauty of his hometown language from the intonation structure of this poem.

As a level 15 bard, he can easily distinguish the emotions contained in Xia Duo's poem.

A poem of homesickness?

did not interrupt Xia Duo, and after reading that sentence, Xia Duo did not continue the original poem, but read it again, over and over again, so that tears blurred his vision.

Bang Bang Bang –

Mu Yan's applause woke Xia Duo up, he realized that he had lost his temper in front of outsiders, and quickly restrained his emotions and looked at Mu Yan with some embarrassment.

"Very good, you are very talented!" Mu Yan praised.

The first time he was able to reveal his true feelings in enlightenment, such a sensual person is simply a natural bard.

However, Xia Duo understands that opportunities like today are becoming less and less, and he no longer expects to return to Earth, but wants to try to live in the world of Faerun, and this kind of sentimentality is not good for him.

Try your best to hide your true feelings and emotions to be more secure.

And Xia Duo wondered if Mu Yan had cast some emotional magic just now, otherwise how could he lose control of his emotions so easily, but he didn't ask Mu Yan about this.

It seemed that Mu Yan seemed to be very satisfied at the moment, "Feel the emotions and feelings just now, and I will perform a [Light Technique] later, you can experience this trick through the emotions just now, and call to it." ”

"Yes." Xia Duo agreed.

It was just a trick, Mu Yan didn't need to make any preparations, almost as soon as he thought about it, he cast the spell successfully, and a white ball of light the size of a basketball appeared in the tent, Xia Duo immediately thought of the light technique that cost him 5 gold coins on the way to Mu Yan just now.

Most of the emotions brewing in his heart immediately dissipated, but Mu Yan was still looking at him, Xia Duo had to bite the bullet and try to experience this light technique, but the very emotional word "experience" made Xia Duo really difficult to grasp.

What exactly is "experience" and praise it in the heart? Talk to it? Or is it some kind of spiritual connection? Xia Duo didn't count, he could only stare at the ball of light, shouting in his heart - move!

Of course, it is impossible for this ball of light to follow Xia Duo's instructions, this is the ball of light controlled by Mu Yan's spell, Mu Yan's purpose is only to make Xia Duo familiar with spells, so as to get a magic response, but whether Xia Duo's first spell is [Light Technique], it is impossible for him to control.

Mu Yan hovered the orb of light generated by the light technique in place, watching with interest Xia Duo's communication with magic, which reminded him of his own early years of enlightenment, when he did not have such good conditions as Xia Duo.

At that time, his adoptive father simply asked him to recite poetry and learn to act, and it was impossible to use spells to help him get started.

Now it depends on whether Xia Duo can get started, and Mu Yan is still looking forward to his people taking the path of a bard.

……

Time passed little by little, except for eating and going to the toilet halfway, Xia Duo has been "looking at each other" with the ball of light, but has never been able to get a magical response.

In fact, the concept of "magical response" is so mysterious in itself that Chado, who has tried almost a whole set, is already a little frustrated, and maybe he is really not fit to be a bard.

The next day, Old Neil and the others did not come to the door, and the results of the Mage Tower's assessment would not be known for a day, so Xia Duo could only continue to receive the bard's enlightenment here at Mu Yan.

In addition to "looking at each other" and calling for magic with the ball of light like yesterday, Mu Yan also began to teach Xia Duo the skills of recitation and performance, and Xia Duo prefers to learn the skills of acting rather than looking at the ball of light stupidly.

Performance is disguise in other words, it is not easy to survive in another world, and disguise can become a means of protecting yourself.

And Mu Yan also sensed Xia Duo's thoughts, and added a lot of content to the guidance of acting, even including some special methods of spies and scouts.

In just a day or two, Xia Duo naturally couldn't fully master these skills, but he tried to keep them in mind and keep them for him to slowly become familiar with in the future.

By the afternoon, Xia Duo had basically given up "looking at each other" with the light ball, and devoted most of his energy to learning performance skills from Mu Yan, and Mu Yan did not say anything about it, and still tried his best to guide Xia Duo.

In the evening, Xia Duo, who was "looking at each other" with the light ball, had a whim, ready to "communicate" about magic alone, and from yesterday morning to now, Xia Duo also has some new understanding of magic.

Those in Savile Town who can only perform level 0 tricks don't necessarily know more than Xia Duo, and in these two days of "eye to eye" practice, Xia Duo feels that his concentration has improved a lot.

I heard that one of the most basic elements of a mage's spell casting is concentration, and he is completely free to play with it, rather than being limited to the path that Mu Yan has planned for him.

Maybe it will be successful!
