Chapter 50: Learning Magic
But one thing Horn knows is that that power is not his own. Horn thought back to what had happened in the Land of Sighs. After helping Tropos get the Book of Wishes, she sealed three spatial spells on herself, and Ezreal sealed a Force on herself.
The Force that didn't belong to him should be the Force that Ezreal had sealed on him at that time. In this way, it makes sense.
When Hao Bot saw Horn wake up, he asked directly: "Who sealed the three space magicians on your body for you, and what does this magician have to do with you?"
Horn said helplessly: "I said it's okay, do you believe it?"
Hao Bote pouted and said, "Do you think that magicians are cabbage, and they are all over the streets? As far as I know, there are less than ten high-level magicians on the continent now, which is even rarer than those high-level martial artists. You said it didn't matter, it would help you seal three life-saving space magic on your body?The time of a magician is very precious, wasting magic and time on a person who doesn't matter, who do you say believes?"
Horn shrugged his shoulders and said, "As you think, it really doesn't matter anyway, since it was because I helped her that she sealed the three spatial magic for me in order to thank me." ”
Hobot was skeptical, but it made sense. Horn really didn't lie, but it was hard to say that he got these three spatial magic because he helped Tropos get the Book of Wishes. After all, this Haobot in front of him is a direct descendant of Candure, and God knows how he will react if he says it.
After a moment of silence, it suddenly occurred to Horn that he now had the sense of magic and had the necessary conditions to cultivate magic.
So, he asked tentatively, "Hao Bote, I would like to ask if someone has the ability to perceive magical power, then how can they cultivate to be an arcane or magician like you?"
Hao Bot looked at Horn thoughtfully, and said suspiciously, "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you have the ability to perceive magic?"
Since he wanted to practice magic, Horn simply admitted generously, "Yes." The magician I helped before said I had magical perceptions, so I wanted to learn from you how to become a magician. ”
Hawkbot shook his head and said, "Magical perception is a prerequisite for becoming an arcane or magician, and simply put, this world is filled with an energy that we call elementals. Magical perception is actually perceiving the elements, absorbing them into the body and transforming them into magical power. But to become a mage or an arcane, it depends on how well you have a spiritual code. And there is also a distinction between magic perception, the more elements you perceive, the faster you absorb it, and the faster your natural level increases. All in all, talent is very important when it comes to magic, and it doesn't mean that just because you can perceive the elements does it mean that you can become a magician. ”
"Psychic code?" Horn heard the term once, not understanding what it meant.
Haobot went on to explain: "The spiritual core code refers to a person's ability to control the elements. Magic is actually made up of some permutations of mentally manipulated elements. The whole world is full of elements, but these elements are uncontrollable. In order to control such an element, one must first absorb the elements into the body, and then one can manipulate these elements with the spirit. And make some of the necessary combinations of these elements before finally performing the complete magic. To put it simply, if the perception of magic is compared to a person being able to see the elements, then the spiritual code is like being able to understand the elements and be able to manipulate them, to be able to make them change according to your wishes. This is also the difference between an arcanist and a magician, an arcanist can perceive the elements, but because the spiritual core code is not strong enough, it may not be able to control the elements completely, and can only complete a small part of the arrangement, and the magic cast by the guide zhì fails or becomes less powerful. But because the spiritual core code of the magician is strong enough, he can completely arrange the elements according to his meaning, and he can send out complete magic. But the spiritual core code is innate and cannot be changed. ”
Horn probably understood what Hao Bot meant, and after a while, he said: "What you mean is the spiritual core, just like a human mind, a powerful mind can control the arrangement of more elements, right?"
Hao Bot nodded in relief, feeling that he had finally not wasted his tongue.
Horn now understood why mages were so scarce. There are really not many people who have to have both elements. However, he still did not give up, and continued: "Then how can we know how strong a person's spiritual core code is?"
Hao Bot shook his head and said, "No way, at least not now." Arcanists and mages are essentially the same. The difference is that the magician does not need to use any items at all to cast magic, while the arcanist must use some external items to perform magic due to the spiritual core, such as scrolls and the like. ”
"So that means that all Arcanists must use external objects to cast their magic, and all magicians don't need anything else to cast their magic?" Horn said.
Haobot shook his head again and said, "Not exactly. For example, a person may be a second-level arcanist and a first-level magician. Why. Because some low-level magic requires a spiritual core code that is not too high, as long as there is a spiritual core code that can cast this magic, it can be completely cast. However, the more advanced ones need a stronger spiritual core code, but he is not high enough, so he can only use external items to cast it. ”
"Oh," Horn finally understood the difference between an arcanist and a mage. He asked again, "Can the spiritual core code be enhanced through cultivation?"
Hao Bote shook his head and said, "The spiritual core code has already involved the soul realm, and until now, the entire continent has not been able to detect the strength of the spiritual core code, let alone cultivate. However, according to some magical theories, it is speculated that the spiritual core code should be able to be cultivated and enhanced, but no method has been found yet. ”
After a pause, Hobot continued, "Now that you have awakened the Force. I'd advise you not to practice magic. ”
"Why?"
Haobot looked at Horn deeply, and said with a sincere and instructive look: "You must know that whether it is the path of a martial artist based on the Force, or the path of magic based on the elements, it is full of twists and turns. Whether people practice martial arts or magic, they all aim to surpass themselves, and these two paths are actually the same path. Cultivating to the extreme, they all become gods and demons. In the beginning, the two are like two points in a triangle, far apart, but as they stretch upward, they eventually coincide. ”
Speaking of this, Hao Bote made an analogy: "Take a martial artist as an example, when he reaches the eighteenth level, he can use his own Force to perform spatial jumping, and this ability can only be used by high-level magicians. A seventh-level magician, on the other hand, can use magic to strengthen the body, and his power is no different from that of a high-level martial artist. And both paths are very difficult. The higher the level, the more time and cost each level up. And the life span of human beings is limited, and no matter how many days and talents are exhausted, they cannot step into the apex of these two paths. So I would like to advise you to focus on martial arts and not waste your time on magic. ”
Horn fully understands Howbot's hard work, and while he may be a little crazy, he is still relatively kind at heart. It's just that I have my own thoughts, and I reluctantly said, "Thank you for your teaching, but I still want to learn magic." After all, I don't have the idea that I have to reach the realm of God, I just want to do my best to strengthen my strength, and as for what I can achieve, that's not what I want to care about. ”
Seeing Horn insist, Hobot sighed and said, "You're wasting your time...... But if you insist on it. I can teach you how to practice magic, but it's up to you what the outcome is. But one thing is that I can't teach you in vain, I need you to do some exchange......"
Horn thought that Howbot wanted money, like DuPont, and needed to pay tuition. Embarrassed, he said: "I only have a thousand gold coins on me now, and this is what Adel gave me." If you want too much, I'll give you the money I can make when I get out. ”
Hao Bote's eyebrows furrowed, and he said with an ugly face: "Do you think I love money like that vampire from Dupont? ”
When Horn heard this, his face suddenly fell. Because he knew that the real yàn in Hao Bote's mouth probably meant giving him some newly invented potions to make real yàn, just like a guinea pig. Thinking of the tragic condition of being tormented by the side effects of the earthworm potion, Horn couldn't help but hesitate.
Hao Bot looked at Horn hesitating, and said comfortingly: "It's just the effect of some potions, and there is no danger." ”
After hesitating for a moment, he said weakly: "At most, it's just some discomfort, such as diarrhea and the like......
Horn thought to himself, if I believe you, there will be ghosts. It's just that he really wanted to learn magic, so he nodded and said, "Okay...... Then we're done. ”
Hobot's nervous face couldn't help but smile brightly, but in Horn's eyes, it was like the devil smiling wickedly after tempting humans to sign a contract......
After agreeing to the terms of exchange with Haobot, Haobot immediately explained to Horn some of the necessary knowledge of magic, such as terminology, construction, and how to convert elemental absorption into magic. Howbot's explanation made Horn understand that magic is also an important part of supporting magic. Some advanced magic, the more mana is required. People are the memory of magic, and it is very necessary to meditate every day and constantly expand the mental space.
Hobot also asked Horn to come to him for magic training and only a lecture on magic after the daily martial arts training was completed. He was asked to live directly in the castle.
