Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 33 The Secret of the Boiling Physique
The two of them watched Alyssa disappear into the rain, but they didn't know what her smile meant, but they just felt that there was something bitter in her smile.
"Hey, Alan, you say...... Did she mean yes or no?" asked Riel. Even though Alyssa's figure was gone, he was still looking over there.
"I don't know. Alan shook his head.
The two of them stayed there for a while, and finally Alan sighed and said, "Let's go." Riel reluctantly turned around and walked back, as if thinking about Alyssa's smile just now.
It was almost noon, their stomachs began to growl, and the rain began to gradually stop.
As he passed by the candy house again, Alan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I almost forgot to ask Mr. Adrian about something." ”
The two pushed open the door and entered, and old Adrian was a little surprised: "Yo, why are you two back again?
"We sent her home, and we were going to go back, but I suddenly remembered something, and I wanted to ask you. Allen said.
"Oh, that seems to be an important matter, then, I'm going home for dinner, so you two can come along, and let's talk while we eat...... Oh, don't worry, Kelly always has a lot to prepare. Old Adrian said with a smile.
"Awesome!" Riel agreed as soon as he heard him say this.
So the two of them immediately started to help the sign placed outside the old Adrian's store to move back to the house, and walked together along the road behind the house towards the depths of the woods.
"Well, Mr. O'Derian, may I ask if there are any other people or things in this woods besides you living here?" asked Alan suddenly, after walking a few steps.
"Oh, why do you ask?" said old Adrian, not understanding what Eren meant, and looked back at him.
"Ah...... It's fine, it's just that every time I walk down this road, I feel that this forest is quiet, and I wonder if it is really as quiet as it seems. Allen said.
"I have to say, Alan, this trait of yours is great. Old Adrian said with a smile.
"What trait?" Alan didn't understand.
"It's that you don't choose to believe immediately after seeing the surface, but continue to seek the essence. This trait, or habit, will be very helpful later in your life. Old Adrian said.
"Uh...... Maybe I'm thinking too much......" Allen said.
"No, it's a good habit to get to the bottom of it, Alan, and I hope you can keep it up. "It's something that can make you better, something that keeps you hungry for knowledge and truth." ”
"Hmm. ”
"But you may be disappointed in the truth this time, because the forest is really quiet, and there is nothing but these harmless long-eared squirrels and a few hares that occasionally get lost. Oh, and by the way, these chiming birds that are too lazy to not necessarily move all year round. "I've been here for more than ten years, and I've been too lazy to go out lately, because I have Kelly as a 'bodyguard', and because I've never seen a wild boar trespassing on my territory for so long...... Of course, it could also be that there are no wild boars in the nearby mountains at all. ”
"Oh......" Alan heard him say this and stopped talking.
By this time the small courtyard of the old Adrian's house could already be seen, and Kelly was busy preparing lunch inside.
"Hey, Alan, Riel!" Kelly greeted excitedly when he saw them coming, "I heard Mr. Audrian alone today, and sure enough, you two are here too!"
"Well, we've been looking for Mr. Adrian after our exams in the morning, and we've been in the candy house. ”
"Oh, how's it going?"
"In terms of results, it's all we want. Alan looked at Riel and smiled.
"So you both got into Krivari at the same time?"
"yes, uh, although the process is a bit tortuous. Alan looked at Riel and smiled.
"Oh, that's awesome, congratulations!"
The four of them walked into the courtyard together and sat down.
"What do you mean, you just said that the process was a bit tortuous?" asked old Adrian.
"There are so many strange things happening today, and there is one that I want to ask you. Allen said.
"Oh, tell me about the process first. "Old Adrian came interested.
"Well, that's right...... In fact, Riel performed very badly in the two exams yesterday, he only scored 5 points in the written test, and 0 points in the exam, ranking last among all candidates with a total score of 5 points......" Alan looked at Riel and said. Riel scratched his head a little embarrassed as well.
"Whew! That's funny, he only got 5 points, so how did he get his way to Crivari?"
"Because in today's mana reserve test, he was detected to have a 'boiling physique'. Alan said, "I just wanted to ask, how much do you know about the boiling physique?"
"Boiling physique!" Old Adrian exclaimed when he heard the word, "I really didn't expect Rare to have such a rare physique!" Old Audrian looked at Riel with an incredible look, "In the history of the magical world for two thousand years, there are only a few people with this kind of physique!"
Hearing old Adrian say this, even Riel himself was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of physique in his body to be so rare.
"Well, yes, it seems that every day he is energetic, as if he always has endless energy, and this is indeed one of the characteristics of a person with this kind of constitution. Old Adrian looked at Riel a few times, nodded, and then said to Allen, "But the characteristics of the boiling physique are not only manifested in such superficial places...... People with this kind of physique generally have very high mana reserves, about a hundred times that of ordinary people. ”
"A hundredfold!" both Alan and Riel were startled.
"Yes, you heard me right, I'm talking a hundredfold. "As you know, the higher the level of magic, the more mana it consumes, and therefore, people with this constitution generally have the ability to use very special or high magic. But that's not the best part...... The biggest feature of this constitution is that it can instantly acquire a large amount of magic power and use it under the control of its own consciousness, can you understand what I mean?"
"Uh...... I can understand what you said earlier, but ...... later," Alan frowned and blinked.
Old Adrian didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile on his face.
Alan thought carefully for a moment before it dawned on him: "Ah! I seem to understand......
"What do you understand? Alan. Riel on the side was in a hurry at this time, because what he said was about him, but he didn't understand it at all, like falling into a fog.
"In other words, a person with a boiling physique can not rely on a wand to a certain extent!" Alan looked excited, ignoring the confused Riel and said to Old Adrian in an inquiring tone.
"That's right. Old Adrian smiled and nodded.
"Since you can get a lot of mana from your body in an instant, a lot of magic requires even less mana than you can get directly, which makes you much less dependent on the mana carrier!" Alan quickly explained to Riel, but Riel still didn't seem to understand.
"In other words, the generation of mana in our normal people is very slow, and if we don't store our magic power bit by bit, we won't be able to perform magic at all, let alone any high-level magic...... But you can! Your body can instantly create a lot of mana and use it before it's gone!, you get the idea?" Alan explained to Riel in detail.
"Oh!" This time Riel finally understood, and excitedly looked at his hands back and forth, as if he had never known himself before, and he didn't expect that he would have such a convenient physique!
"But as far as I know, in addition to the great leaders, there are also vicious murderers who have had a boiling physique in history...... Because there are people who are easily addicted to this ability of themselves, they are addicted to power, and they lose themselves in power...... I have to say, this is a very sad thing. Old Adrian said suddenly.
This sentence undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for Ariel, and his excitement immediately calmed down.
"I hope you will cherish this special ability and make the right choice. "Always remember, Rare, never stray from the right path." ”
Rare didn't know what to say, so he nodded vigorously.
"Come and eat!" Kelly had been listening to their conversation as he prepared the meal, and when he heard them finish, he beckoned.
Probably due to his good mood, even Alan eats more than usual. Riel even eats all the food in front of him.
After eating and drinking, they went to the backyard to find Arthur, hoping to let Arthur take them out for a ride before it rained.
"Be careful all the way!" told old Adrian as they departed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Oderrian, we'll be back if it starts raining again!" said Allen, as Arthur had already taken off with them.
When they reached the top of the woods, they found that the sun was looming behind the clouds, and the sky seemed to be clearing.
