Chapter 1 Zero: Strength

For three days before leaving, Sheldon tried to teach Merlin magic. Sheldon has been gifted since he was a child, and he has a high affinity for rune magic, so it is easy to use his own magic, and it is not difficult to release magic.

But after teaching Merlin, Sheldon was a little overwhelmed, even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him after seeing Merlin unconsciously want to blow up the desk in front of him with the pure magic light ball he released three times and twice.

Sheldon did not follow the traditional teacher's teaching method, instilling Merlin with "fake" and rigid magic principles, from simple to complex magic techniques, and all kinds of bells and whistles for spell casting. Because he knows that everything is only an auxiliary, and the most fundamental and important thing is to see the caster himself.

Thinking back then, it took him hours of practice to manifest the magic pattern engraved on his body, and he originally thought that Merlin would also try it for a little half an hour...... It seems that he was completely wrong.

Here's a memory from Sheldon's mind, which came about when he was teaching Merlin how to unleash the magic he wanted. Generally speaking, all people who have engraved the magic crest will naturally have a special affinity for the rune magic of one or two attributes. Normally, these people spend most of their time converting the magic circuits in their bodies into attributes that they are comfortable with, in order to achieve the effect of casting spells faster and releasing more powerful spells.

But Merlin doesn't seem to be like this, because he is not friendly with all attributes, but he is not repulsive...... To put it more bluntly, the magic circuits in his body don't seem to belong to humans at all.

Normally, in addition to non-attribute magic, when everyone releases magic of various attributes, they will organize the magic circuit in their body to release the same attribute of magic, otherwise different rune magic will be repulsed, resulting in all kinds of conflict reactions that will even kill people.

Merlin doesn't seem to have such limitations, and his ability to perceive magic is terrifying.

"In addition to the special magic attributes, the types of rune magic that exist within the Jar are earth, fire, wind, light, and water, and everyone is born with the ability to release the magic power of each attribute. But generally speaking, they have a special affinity for the rune magic of specific attributes, and there will be a great increase in the speed and strength of the magic released. ”

I remember that it was afternoon, and most of the mercenaries were either out on a mission or napping. This is naturally a good time for Sheldon to teach Merlin magic. This is called "preschool education".

Merlin sat in front of Sheldon, his eyes shallow on his fingertips, and a serious look on his face.

"You can try to feel the magic that you're good at." Sheldon took Merlin's warm hands, rubbed them gently, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you're my son, and you won't have a problem." ”

"Hmm." Merlin snorted quietly, and then closed his eyes.

Sheldon felt Merlin's hands tremble slightly, as if something was bouncing around his fingertips, ready to strike.

"If you want to release it, do it with your own heart. My teacher once said, 'The cornerstone of all magic is not the magic, nor the gestures, nor the outside world.' The thing that sustains you to light the flame of your fingertips is your heart. Sheldon let go of his hand, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes, "Believe in your heart, and the magic will believe in you." ”

Sheldon's teacher, Zaratul's greatest contribution in his life was not the invention of the silent moan, but the discovery of the essence of the manifestation of magic. The brilliance of mana is not created by external objects, but is triggered by the will of the caster. When a spell is cast, the caster's mind must imagine enough images to support the creation of the magic, and the magic itself is created to reinforce this concept, it solidifies the caster's consciousness, making it easier to combine the magic in the body into the desired shape.

I remember the old man who was reinforcing the doctrine he had created and said to the wizarding world: "To believe in your magic is to believe in your heart!" ”

However, this doctrine proved to be correct, and most ordinary people who used the magic as their casting standard still did not have the ability to unleash the magic they wanted. This is not only limited by their magic level, the original set has left a strong mark in their hearts, and it can never be changed back.

Now Sheldon can't completely rely on his own will to release every magic, the pre-sentence "in my name" reflex generally makes his mind highly concentrated, so as to use every spell of his own.

But Merlin is different now, he is a test subject in every way, and it must be good for him to try to do it.

Sheldon watched expectantly as Merlin would conjure something in his hand. Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail, and it's not a big deal to try again.

Kiss! A crisp sound was heard from Merlin's hand, and slender branches scurbled out from between Merlin's fingers, forming a small pale yellow flower with all kinds of organs in an instant.

"Look! I conjured up a flower! Merlin stretched out his masterpiece to a slightly surprised Sheldon, rather proudly, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

Sheldon's heart trembled slightly, and he carefully took the little pale yellow flower, and the scene in the engraving chamber returned to his eyes like Hibiscus coming out of the water.

This must be impossible, this must be impossible. He repeatedly persuaded himself not to let him think in a bad direction. Merlin has always liked flowers, and every time he sees them, he will definitely say them to him.

He leaned over to his nose and sniffed carefully, but he didn't smell anything. Generally speaking, flowers channeled by the magic of the wind attribute should give off their fragrance...... But this flower does not have any fragrance in any formal sense...... It's like it's just a flower shell, but it's filled with something terrible.

"It's pretty good." Sheldon complimented, "You seem to have a bit of an affinity with the rune magic of the wind attribute, and now, you can try to manifest the magic of all the attributes, and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised." ”

"Hmm!" Merlin nodded, "I seem to have found the trick!" ”

The little boy rubbed his hands, and his eyes burst into brilliant brilliance.

A chill ran through Sheldon's heart, and he felt that what this little guy was going to release next was going to be a problem for everyone.

The facts did not surprise him. Merlin's fingertips were hovering with magic balls the size of his fist, and the magic contained in each magic ball was faintly distorting the space around them! With just a simple attempt, Merlin's body has released such a huge amount of energy!

What shocked him even more was that the magic attributes contained in each magic ball were different! Merlin's body broke through the shackles of human flesh, and Sheldon was not surprised by this.

But the orbs were expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye, and some of the balls closest to the papers on the table had begun to tear up the paper around them.

"Stop, stop!" Sheldon looked around like a thief, he had to stop this catastrophe before it caused a commotion!

"Oh? Oh......" Merlin was still immersed in his own magic before he realized that he had gone too far.

Boom!

These increasingly large magic balls were like deflated balloons, quickly deflated, and the space that had been pulled returned to their original positions.

"Whew...... Whew...... Sheldon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glad things hadn't gotten so bad.

He looked at Merlin with a strange look, as if observing a piece of art that would bite. There is no doubt that Merlin's own magical talent is unparalleled in the world, and the act of the magic ball he just released is beyond the scope of ordinary people. And thinking back to the magic power contained in these magic balls, Sheldon felt a chill again.

Merlin is not affinity for any kind of magic attribute, and more appropriately, the magic of all attributes should be affinity with Merlin himself. He was able to unleash the magic of various attributes without restraint, which was an extremely terrifying point. The question now is not how to cast the magic, but for Merlin to learn how to control his magic and make it material.

In Sheldon's view, the difficulties of this project are visible to the naked eye. The most important thing now is to teach Merlin how not to kill people when they cast their magic.

Think of how terrible it is for a newborn baby to have a magic weapon in his hand that can kill anyone......
