Although the king said so, no one did anything.

Elizabeth said expectantly, "It seems that you can only come by yourself." ”

Wang: "It's because I'm wrong, you can drink it yourself." ”

"I don't!" Elizabeth said firmly, "You're going to do experiments, and you're going to have to feed them." ”

The mage looked at everyone and shrugged, "Okay." Give me the cup, Marika, you'll be in charge of adding water. ”

Soon a cup of soup appeared in the king's hand, and he took the spoon out and brought the cup close to Elizabeth, gently holding her chin with his hand, and the cup close to her mouth.

The king was a little anxious when he fed her, and as a result, soup ran down the corners of Elizabeth's mouth and dripped on her.

Xiaobai: "Don't waste food." Can I lick it off? ”

The king made a casual gesture, and by this time the soup in the cup had been drunk by the princess, so he moved the cup to Marika again. The drow looked helpless, but scooped new water into the cup.

Xiaobai supported Elizabeth's thighs with both hands and licked the soup on her body.

"Huh? It's not venison soup this time, will the type of soup change? This time it seems to be beef soup! ”

Wang: "Is this spoon so awesome?" Can you change the taste? No, I'll have to try it. ”

At this time, the water that Marika had just poured in had turned into a new soup, and Wang took a big sip directly: "This time it has become fish soup, it's so fresh!" ”

Xiaobai swooped away, and it seemed that she really hated starch and fish.

The mage brought the soup he had tasted to Elizabeth: "Come, go on." Drink until your stomach rises. ”

The second time, both of them had experience, and the soup didn't even spill.

In the next few minutes, the king fed Elizabeth eight cups of soup, which made Elizabeth's stomach bulge visibly.

Wang also pressed it with his hand: "Well, it's good, it's indeed full." You can't eat anything else until the evening, and if you're hungry and drink soup, this spoon is placed on you first. In the evening you have to report to me how many times you have drunk soup and whether you have symptoms such as dizziness. ”

Marika asked skeptically, "Is it really necessary to test like this?" We're going to bring dry food, so we don't have to use soup to get by. ”

Xiaobai: "I can still go hunting, and I can hunt with long ears, and there will be no shortage of food during the journey." ”

Wang: "Be prepared." Well, I just wanted to study this spoon, and I love exploring the unknown, whether it's a cave left by a lich and a dwarf team, or a simple spoon. ”

Elizabeth: "I'd love to help you with your research, too." ”

Wang: "You're so good! ”

The corners of Elizabeth's mouth couldn't help but rise, and her face flushed slightly.

When the mage noticed this, he asked suspiciously, "Why is your face red?" ”

Elizabeth: "I ...... I'm radiant! ”

Wang frowned slightly: "Don't be too excited, seize the time to rest." ”

The Drow Elf put down the glass and said, "I'll be in charge of the guard, you all sleep." I'll go to sleep when you get up. ”

Nini: "I can also be vigilant, in fact, during the day when there is normal light, I am more efficient at watching. ”

King: "Then you will each be on guard for four hours." Nini looks at the first half, Marika looks at the second half. ”

After arranging this, Wang climbed into his bed, and soon after lying down, he fell into a deep sleep.

Elizabeth said enviously: "He always slept quickly and deeply, as if he had no worries at all, and he did not lose sleep at all." ”

Marika: "When even he is so worried that he can't sleep, I'm afraid the world is already doomed." ”

After speaking, she looked at her elven cousin: "Since the captain has ordered, then I will rest first." You don't need to call me, it's enough for me to rest for four hours a day and I'll wake up on my own. ”

Drow elves and elves only need to rest for about four hours a day, which is a racial advantage just like their lifespan. And they can even rest while riding, and if there are elves in the squad, the vigil will be arranged by the elves.

Forest Elves don't have the dark vision of Drow Elves, but at night when there is moonlight and starlight, their vision is no worse than that of Drow Elves.

Nini: "Yes. ”

With that, she picked up her bow and arrows, pulled over a chair and sat on the edge of the mage's bed, looking around alertly.

Elizabeth stopped talking, but finally chose to lie down - but not long after she lay down, she jumped up.

"I'm going to pick the flowers!" She said.

**

The king was awakened by a loud grunt.

He got up, looked at the source of the voice, and saw that it was Elizabeth. The princess slept soundly, but her stomach kept making a hungry sound.

The king was about to open his mouth to ask Marika, who was on duty, when he heard Elizabeth say in a dream: "No, we can't cook Xiaobai and eat it." Why don't you cut the meat from me, I'm fatter. ”

Wang: "It sounds like a dream about famine. ”

Marika: "Your experiment isn't over yet, but I don't think there's any need to continue. The soup is probably water with added illusions. ”

Wang: "It seems so. I'll wait for her to get up and see if she will faint, and if she does, it's basically certain. ”

As he spoke, he looked out the window, calculated the current time from the angle of the sun's rays, and then sat up: "I'm almost asleep." The rest will go to bed at night. ”

As he spoke, he took out the magic book left by the lich from his dimensional pouch, licked his fingers, and turned the first page.

Wang: "As soon as you come up, it's the Nine Rings." No wonder this lich said that the mages in the team would be ecstatic. This spell book can't be all nine-ring magic, right? ”

Marika: "If that's the case, it's a valuable book. You swapped a seven-ring dragon for the Duke's treasured resurrection scroll. ”

The resurrection scroll itself may not be that valuable, but the purpose of this scroll is to keep it in a state where it is basically priceless.

If it weren't for the fact that the scroll couldn't resurrect people who died naturally, the value of the scroll could have multiplied several times.

Wang Fei quickly flipped through all the contents of the magic book, and then threw it aside in disappointment: "Sure enough, there are no spells that I haven't seen." This lich is clearly not obsessed with creating new spells, or it is not good enough to create new spells. ”

At this time, Nini also turned over, and when she heard the king's words, she couldn't help but be surprised: "You actually said that a nine-ring lich is not of enough grade?" ”

Marika: "Do you know who his teacher is?" ”

After speaking, Zhuoer immediately asked and answered himself, and reported the name of Wang's teacher.

Nini was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close: "You are actually the beloved disciple of that one?" He's a publicly recognized friend of the current Elven King! ”

Wang muttered, "Damn, it's for the old guy again!" ”

Nini: "Pretend?" ”

Wang: "I mean, uh, proudly showing off what it used to be. ”

He paused and changed his tone: "By the way, we agreed before, we will only go together this time to solve the troubles of the cavemen." Now that the trouble is out of the way, you can continue your journey as well. You also know what exactly you will get out of this trip, and you can pick one of the things you want. ”

Nini thought for a few seconds and shook her head, "No, I don't have any places I want to go. Staying behind to solve the apocalyptic crisis together seems to be able to hone your skills as well. ”

Wang: "Of course you can hone your skills, and this time you performed so well, whether it was the arrows fired by the trap trap in your body, or the rescue of the dwarves in the final escape stage, you have shown your amazing ability." You must have exercised yourself during the adventure. ”

Nini: "It's all very common. My Master's words will show even better. Master has an amazing double knife skill, and my knife is very bad, and I will have a headache in the face of low-ring spells such as protective arrows, and I can only use repeated attacks to exceed the upper limit of protection of the spell.

"If it was my master, he would have drawn his twin knives and started to kill all sides."

Wang: "Why don't you practice double blades?" ”

"Because my master, after teaching me for one round, thinks that I don't have the talent to use dual weapons, and it is futile to continue learning. Actually, my double-knife skills are really not ordinarily bad. Nini sighed.

Wang: "That's right. I'm not good at this thing, I really can't force it. For example, I can't use the spells of the control system, and I can't even use very simple immobilized humans. By the way, haven't you tried using arcane? ”

Elves have an unusual talent for both art and magic, but elves are so famous for their bowing skills that they overshadow the brilliance of their magical skills.

Elves actually become more mages than forest rangers, but perhaps because of their long lifespan, elven mages often seem a little less passionate than human mages.

Elven mages are often obsessed with details, and they are keen to get the most out of a few spells they particularly like, even if they use a lot of supermagic techniques.

Human mages are more exploratory and ambitious, keen to explore unknown knowledge and create new spells.

Human mages will also find ways to extend their lifespans, and this motivation is also lacking in long-lived elves.

Elven mages rarely make themselves lichs, because their lives are already too long, and they care more about the emotions they have to give up after becoming a lich than the benefits they get from becoming a lich.

In any case, as an elf, it is impossible to be completely uninterested in the art of magic.

There are often Elven Rangers who are also mages.

That's why the king asked.

Nini shook her head, "I've tried, and I've actually always been interested in the arcane. But I didn't get the favor of the arcane, and my father found me a lot of teachers, none of whom could get me down the path of an arcane spellcaster. ”

Wang touched his chin: "This is very strange. There is no such thing as a favor for the Arcane. Some plane mages cast spells with a thing called the magic net, and the strength of the mage depends on the ability to communicate with the magic net.

"But that's just that plane, my teacher has also studied the magic web, and thinks that it may be a convenient tool for casting spells left by the developed magical civilization that that plane once had.

"He once tried to find the so-called goddess of magic in that world, but he couldn't find it. He speculated that the so-called goddess of magic might just be an intelligent being who managed this convenient spell-casting tool.

"The traveling mages who crisscross the multiverse do not rely on magic nets to cast spells, but on knowledge. The so-called mana is actually just the product of the quantitative analysis of the master's understanding of knowledge, and it is artificially set like Celsius. ”

Nini raised her hand: "Wait a minute! I'm starting to get incomprehensible. What is quantitative analysis? ”

"This is like this, I'll give you an example and you'll understand." Next, Wang took Celsius as an example and explained to Nini what quantitative analysis is.

Nini nodded thoughtfully: "So you ...... In short, mana is defined, which is used to measure a mage's understanding of the world. ”

Wang: "That's right, it's not enough to just master knowledge, to use my teacher's words, it's called thoroughness." Once you have eaten it thoroughly, you will have the 'mana' to cast the next ring of spells, which is actually a qualification after numerical quantification.

"I'm a typical example of only mastering knowledge, not understanding it. I am the chief disciple of the teacher, and I am not inferior to anyone in terms of knowledge, but I only have the ability to cast spells in the three rings. After the teacher and the professors in the tower 'consulted', they decided that the solution was to throw me out on a study tour. ”

Nini: "So when do you want to learn how to cast spells before you can improve?" ”

Wang: "I don't know. Because I don't know what it's like to have a thorough knowledge, and I think it's only by doing experiments in the tower that you can get the most out of it.

"It's impossible that we have an adventure in the fetal movement hall today, I suddenly have some new insights, and my understanding of previous knowledge has been greatly improved, right?"

Then the dwarf also got up, and he looked at the king: "How is it impossible?" You see, Kailin suddenly opened up the Four Rings Divine Technique to me. After that adventure, the god of knowledge will also open up to you. ”

Wang: "First of all, you can't personify knowledge, which will lead to cognitive bias. Secondly, I don't feel any sudden enlightenment, I don't believe that now I will start preparing magic, try to prepare the four-ring spell. ”

Dwarf: "You try, I also have to prepare the magic arts." When I'm ready, I'll use the restoration technique of the Four Rings to heal the feathers on the elves' hands. ”

Nini looked down at the piercing feather on her hand and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Wang put away the magic book given by the lich and took out his spare magic book: "It just so happens that my book has the four-ring phantom killing spell, I'll see if I can prepare it." ”

Nini: "Phantom Killer is the one, the spell that scares the target to death?" ”

"Yes, it's the spell that scares the target to death. I'm going to prepare spells, don't bother me. ”

"I'm sorry."

The mage began to prepare for today's spell with concentration.

The dwarves also took their poses and began to pray.

Seeing this, Nini decided to meditate as well—the ranger's magic also needed to be prepared in advance. She was going to copy yesterday's magic.

Marika watched as the three casters began to prepare spells, and then stood up and changed to a position more suitable for protecting everyone. When spellcasters are preparing spells, it's the best chance to sneak up.

After 40 minutes, the mage was the first to finish the preparation.

"No play." He said, "I couldn't prepare the Four Rings spell at all, and this perfect dungeon adventure didn't make me know the world any better." ”

No one paid attention to him, and the other two spellcasters were still preparing spells.

The king sighed.

At this time, the dwarf also finished preparing for today's magic technique, approached Nini while chanting prayers, and then touched the feathers on Nini's arm with his shining hand.

The feather is gone, like it never existed. The Lich is not deceiving, and this level of contamination can be repaired with restoration.

The elf opened her eyes as well, and she glanced at the mage.

Nini: "You're still the Three-Ring Caster?" ”

Wang nodded: "Yes, it's still the third ring, and there is no progress in the slightest." ”

The dwarf suddenly said, "By the way, there is a saying among us dwarven craftsmen. It is said that accepting an apprentice and teaching him to build equipment is also a means to improve the master's skills. Because in the process of teaching people, your own understanding of various techniques has also deepened. ”

The dwarf looked at Nini, "It just so happens that elves can't cast spells at all. According to your Tari's theory, she just doesn't know the world well enough. If you let her understand the world and gain the ability to cast spells, you can improve your own understanding of the world, right? ”

Wang seems to have discovered a new world: "My teacher also said something similar, and teaching students is also a part of his own improvement. At that time, we thought he was bragging, after all, he likes to brag the most, just like Uncle Shi likes to smoke, drink, and burn his head. ”

The mage turned to the elf and asked excitedly, "Would you like to try it and become my apprentice?" ”

Nini: "An apprentice's apprentice?" ”

Wang: "What's the matter, just look at the amount of knowledge mastered, I'm not inferior to any archmage. I can really teach you knowledge. ”

At this time Elizabeth also woke up, and she shouted, "I want to be your apprentice too!" ”

Wang: "You're a warlock, just wait for the bloodline to send a spell, and go aside." Go and go. ”

"You!"

Nini was still hesitating: "I ...... Can I cast arcane arts? I'm a man who was told by the elven archmage that he had no arcane talent. ”

Wang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. In our mage tower, in addition to professors and students, there are also miscellaneous servants brought back from various planes. There is a child of a handyman who has always wanted to be a mage.

"But he is so stupid, and he has to memorize the knowledge that others can remember at once, and he has to remember it for a long time. My teacher used to think that he couldn't become a mage, but he still worked stubbornly.

"His motto is: I want to be a mage, even if it's the most lame, just be a mage."

Nini asked with concern, "And then?" ”

Wang: "Then he became one of the authorities of the Tari Plastic Energy System, the nine-ring spellcaster who destroyed the world. However, he can basically only shape energy spells, and he doesn't know anything about other spells that require a wider range of knowledge. But in terms of plastic energy, he has indeed reached the peak, and even my teacher feels that he is inferior to him.

"How about it, after listening to this story, do you want to try it too?"

Nini thought for a moment and replied, "You can start by teaching me knowledge. When I can cast a ring spell, it's not too late to come back to apprentice. ”

Wang: "Yes. Anyway, you're a ranger on our team, and I'll have time to teach you later. ”

Elizabeth looked back and forth at the mage and the elf, and said, "Then I will also learn knowledge." I don't rely on this spell though, but ...... But can't I be studious? ”

Wang: "When I give Nini a lecture, you can sit in on it. ”
