Chapter 003: What Warlocks and Spellcasters Have to Say
"Warlock?"
Hearing Chen Zhou's question, the spotted cat man who used miscellaneous talk as a condiment to eat was like a rain in a long drought, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Lightning knows warlocks too well!"
Warlocks harness their innate magic, and this latent power permeates their bodies, minds, and souls, becoming an integral part of them.
However, since magic is part of the warlock, they don't need any systematic learning to perform magic, only proficiency and charm.
As a result, uneducated warlocks often use their charms in other strange ways.
"Charm? Can you cast spells if you look good? Chen Zhou was puzzled, is plastic surgery okay?
"Charm isn't just about being good-looking."
Swinging his knife and fork rhythmically, the spotted cat man explained superiorly: "It represents personality, courage, bearing, attractiveness, leadership, and physical attractiveness, and appearance is only a side matter of charm." ”
At the same time, it also measures supernatural talents.
However, most of the warlocks are very attractive, and after saying this, the other party muttered quietly.
All in all, a charismatic person can become the center of attention even with his face covered, and become a part of someone's life that can never be forgotten.
From this point of view, Tom is very "warlock".
The muscular and powerful, neat pale yellow hair that shimmered golden under an oil lamp, and the ice-blue pupils, which were so different from their own kind, resembled the endless glaciers of the Northland and the brilliant aurora in the night sky.
Speech and demeanor are full of self-confidence, and give people a sense of alienation that does not take everyone seriously.
No one can easily forget this tiger man who seems to be not in the same world as himself.
Bards who are also charismatic are different, and they often have another level of appeal.
One may fear an inconspicuous mage or a seemingly friendly warlock, but usually no bard will be rejected.
The powerful and magical ballads, deeds, and new tunes can make even the listener forget their worries and worries for a while, and let the lowest working people enjoy the dreams and splendor of kings for two hours.
"Of course, warlocks and bards have one thing in common, and that is that they can easily trick the opposite sex into getting laid."
After that, the spotted cat man looked at Tom, who was a very warlock, with a little regret: "It's a pity that the poet's charm is not like that of a warlock, and even aliens can be easily attracted." ”
Chen Zhou shrugged his shoulders, he is indeed very popular with the fish, and most of the big fish he can catch are due to this, and he doesn't know if he can catch something like a sea monster after waiting for a high level.
Or suddenly a big guy wants to rip off his belt and go back to the collection.
Regardless of the black material about the warlock, through the endless anecdotes of lightning, he roughly understood that magic in this world is not taboo, and under normal circumstances, the caster is unlikely to be picked up and burned to death by the church.
Warlocks are somewhat suspicious (and mostly due to their overly liberal style), but at least they are not as guarded by most people as mages.
Each warlock could be a self-propelled powder magazine, who could blow up a room and himself into the sky, or kidnap someone else's wife.
But at least eighty percent of warlocks are not like mages who can summon endless armies of necromancers and demons with a little forbidden knowledge, or create nightmare creations that even the most evil of gangsters will spit on, or fail an experiment that turns an entire nation into a dead realm.
And the reason why the vast majority of warlocks commit petty treachery at most is mainly due to one of their own characteristics.
"Warlocks can't choose their own magic?" Chen Zhou was a little unable to understand the explanation of the danger of lightning to the warlock, "You mean that the warlock's magic is random?" ”
Seeing the surprise that the other party's bright eyes were like jewels, the suspicion in the poet's heart about the identity of the other party's warlock gradually faded.
"It's not random, it's that the limited amount of magic a warlock has is limited by the origin of the spell."
It was magic that chose the Warlock, not the Warlock who chose the magic.
The hungry Spotted Cat Man licked the plate and said in the most popular way: "Magic is a beautiful form of calculation for the mage, a song worth remembering for the poet, a blessing from the gods for the priest, and clay in the hand of the warlock." ”
Warlocks can knead their own clay to their liking, but the magic they can concoct is limited by the material of the clay, the origin of the spell.
For example:
A warlock with a fire bloodline can't awaken a water-based spell, even if it's just the simplest water-making spell.
A Warlock of Storm Origin can summon an endless stream of thunderstorms, but he can't summon even a small cup of loess.
Because of this, the mages felt that the warlocks were unlearned, the warlocks felt that the mages were spiritual, and they all felt that the priests were not self-reliant, and that the poets could only fool the country women instead of the elementals, mud monsters, plants, constructs, or the undead.
"But Lightning thinks that the other spellcasters are idle, that the essence of the poets is music, and that sorcery is just one of its derivatives."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou nodded and thought deeply, what's wrong with not learning and not knowing, it's not the warlock's will.
If the data on the character card is true, his intelligence before and after crossing has dropped from 16 to 11, although he doesn't know the judging criteria, but it is probably no different from the mentally retarded?
*The range of all attributes of a normal human is roughly 10-11.
I'm already mentally retarded, and you still want me to use my brain?
It's not hard for me to be a fat tiger!
"Meow...... Lightning was full and thanked the Lord of Cats for the gift. ”
Putting the smooth plate back on the table, the Spotted Cat Man ended the conversation between dinner and the Warlock at the same time, and then looked at Chen Zhou with a surprised face: "Tom, let's go find the place where the legendary poet 'Pale Singer' retreats." All other treasures are yours, and lightning is only the Word of Creation! ”
"Pale Singer?" Chen Zhou was alert, this name did not sound very safe.
It's true that he is short of money, and he has only saved 5 silver coins after fishing for a month, but he does not plan to risk his life to make money.
Thanks to the existence of the "life plan", he can live a good life as long as he follows the step-by-step life.
"The Pale Singer is the most famous bard of the Northlands, and the snow and ice will be enchanted by her singing and brought to life.
"Lightning pondered, that must be the legendary Creation Word, otherwise how could a dead thing like ice and snow have life?"
The legendary poet eventually lost all news while exploring the end of the Northlands, and Chen Zhou had reason to suspect that the other party had gone to the South Pole to experience a different life after discovering that the world was a ball, but the Spotted Cat Man believed that the Pale Singer had probably died in the exploration.
"Then the question is, even the legendary poet will die in the Northlands, how can you, a thin spotted cat man, survive in the wind and snow?"
Wind and snow, snow goblins, elementals, bobos, frost giants, white dragons, the deadly threats of the Northland are too numerous to mention, and Chen Zhou's intelligence must be reduced to at least (9) before he can believe the poet's nonsense.
"Meow...... We might be able to ask for help from the Glacier Dwarves and Snow Elves? "The poet tries to pass the charm test on the well-wisher.
But Chen Zhou exempted: "Let me refuse." ”
