Chapter 22: The Mentor

Who says you can't achieve anything if you are distracted and multi-purpose?

Isadore's words lit a light in Xiui's heart.

He suddenly remembered Leonardo da Vinci, the most outstanding painter in the history of mankind, who was a man who made great contributions in many fields. It is hard to imagine that this man was not only a master artist, but also a great scientist, a literary theorist, a great philosopher, a poet, a musician, an engineer and an inventor. He has made tremendous contributions in almost every field. Later generations of scholars called him "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance", a "first-class scholar", and a "genius of the ages". All, and much more praise he deserved.

In science, Leonardo da Vinci was the first to propose "linking theory with practice" In astronomy, he proposed heliocentrism earlier than Copernicus, in physics, he proposed the principle of the communicator, developed the principle of levers, pointed out the impossibility of perpetual motion machines, in anatomy and physiology, he is considered to be the ancestor of modern physiological anatomy, the first to use wax to represent the internal structure of the human brain, the first to conceive of the heart and eyes made of glass and ceramics, the first to discover blood function and arteriosclerosis, he also invented flying machinery, helicopters, parachutes, machine guns, grenades, tank cars, Submarines, double-hull battleships, cranes and much more. In addition, he has also made significant contributions in the field of mathematics and hydraulic engineering.

These contributions are less known to later generations, partly because some of his theoretical works were discovered after his death, and partly because they were overshadowed by his artistic aura. But many people only know him as one of the greatest painters, but they don't know that he was also the best master of carving and building of his time.

This man's life cannot be described in any other language than "legendary".

If you explain it in today's language: then Leonardo da Vinci is a real time-traveler, and a time-traveler with a universal learning machine built by future technology.

Regardless, Izado's reminder tells Xiui that he doesn't need to worry that he may not be able to achieve nothing because he is developing in multiple fields at the same time. Many times genius is genius, we believe that hard work will definitely achieve something, but genius plus hard work, the achievement will be greater.

Huey's talent is beyond doubt, and all he needs now is time.

And Izado, he gave him confidence.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yi understood a lot.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty Issa, for giving me the courage to continue on this path. Xiui bowed respectfully to Isado.

"Oh, you don't have to be polite with me. The patriarch smiled and waved his hand: "Then let's go back to the previous topic." What do you think is it that makes a person make the same great contribution in different fields? And what is it that makes so many people unable to achieve in a single way in their lifetime? If some people can achieve more in 10 years than a country in 100 years in terms of achievements alone, what is the reason for such a gap? Is it just because of talent? What kind of talent can make such a big difference?"

As soon as he heard this question, Xiuy's head immediately grew, he had never thought of such a question before. He stammered a little: "To be honest, I don't know, His Majesty Isado." I've always believed that every field has its own characteristics, and you have to keep researching and understanding it. You have to be distracted and multi-purpose, if you practice martial arts, you can't practice magic at the same time, and when you're studying alchemy, you can't use your fighting energy to mix the potions in the crucible...... They are completely different. Not being able to put enough effort into one area makes me feel like I'm running out of time. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Isadore's eyes narrowed with laughter, "So you haven't realized the crux of the matter yet. In your opinion, the cultivation of magic and martial arts is in conflict with each other, competing for cultivation time, and incompatible with each other, right? You see them as two opposing parts, and never thought that they could also become a harmonious unity?"

Xiui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he looked at Isador in a daze: "You mean, vindictive spirit and magic...... Unified use?"

"Yes. Isadore patted Xiuyi: "Unfortunately there is something about this, I can't tell you more, I can only remind you not to be blinded by worldly opinions." Think about our explanation of magic, think about our explanation of vindictiveness, think about the differences between them, do they really have nothing in common? Maybe there is, but you just don't notice it. And if you can find out, you will know that the ability to combine magic and martial arts that you think you are now is actually only in the initial stage. ”

Huey was sweating profusely.

He suddenly remembered something: he didn't have the talent to cultivate soul spells at the beginning, and it was impossible for him to achieve much in this area at all. What made him a true soul mage?

It's alchemy, and it's the soul orb needed to make flesh puppets.

It's a pity that since his strength became strong, he gradually abandoned this aspect and didn't pay attention to research anymore.

He didn't pay attention to the possible connection between alchemy and magic, let alone the connection between vindictive spirit and magic.

But today, Isado reminded him.

He nodded, "I think I see what you mean, under the crown of Issado, there is always something in common, even if it is a completely different field, there is also a way to solve problems with the same mind. Those who are able to achieve great things in different fields are not only because they are talented and hardworking, but most importantly they grasp the essence of the problem and the core of the matter. It's as if alchemy always finds success in countless failures. But there are some alchemists, because they have a deep enough understanding of the nature of alchemy, they can minimize the number of failures, thus greatly improving their work efficiency. They are on the right path from the start, they take fewer detours, so they can go faster and farther on the road to success than anyone else. ”

"Well said. Isadore finally laughed, "Look, so you know what your problem is now, don't you?"

"I need to go back to where I started, to read a book, to go for a walk, to see the world, to see things that I hadn't paid attention to before, to reflect on my past, to find the right path that I haven't discovered yet. Huey replied.

"Congratulations, you answered correctly. ”

By the time he walked out of the room, Huey's mood had relaxed a lot.

Although Isardo didn't tell him what to do, he hung a lamp in front of Xiui to light the way for him.

It just so happened that the Church of the Scourge also had its own library, so Xiu Yi immediately offered to go there to borrow books to read. Anyway, the Church was going to be making a lot of imitations out of his artifacts during this time, and he had plenty of time to wait, and he and the Nightmare Pony needed time to build a friendship as well.

Izado readily agreed to his request.

Xiu Yi also offered to borrow the laboratory of the Church of the Scourge in order to continue his research in alchemy, and hoped that he could freely dispatch alchemy resources, and Izado agreed.

Because of the Napleton incident, Isadore's psychological guilt is at its peak, and Huey seizes the opportunity to ask for benefits at this time, basically responding to requests.

On the way to the library, Huey and Isadore gossip about some other topics. Isador was intrigued by the secrets of Nicholas's realm, and Huey unceremoniously revealed everything he knew.

"I must admit that I would not have been able to discover the secrets of Nicholas without the knowledge of the field that you told me beforehand. By the way, Crown Isa, if you run into Nicholas's still realm, is there any way to deal with him?" asked Huey.

"You're trying to ask me what my domain is, right?" asked Isado with a smile.

Xiuy's face flushed: "It's just curiosity, Your Majesty Isado." ”

Isadore waved his hand, obviously not minding this: "Actually, since you have discovered the secret of the Static Realm, then you should know that each Saint Universe Realm is actually formulated for your own strengths. To put it simply, it is to create an environment where you can make the most of your strengths as much as possible. What do you think is my greatest achievement in magic?"

"Your super control over the elements. Hue replied immediately.

The next moment, Xiu Yi suddenly figured out something, and he shouted, "Could it be that your domain is some kind of special consequence in terms of elemental control?"

Isado smiled, he didn't say anything, and directly activated the domain power.

The entire space suddenly became dark, as if dark clouds were thick, and Xiu Yi was shocked to find that the surrounding magical elements showed an abnormal state of restlessness, like rampaging creatures, extremely restless and difficult to control.

Xiu Yi tried to summon the gathering of wind elementals, but the response he received was that all the wind elementals rushed towards him as if they had discovered an enemy, forming a huge force and striking Xiu Yi fiercely. Xiu Yi hurriedly gathered the power of the Dou Qi, but he found that the Dou Qi power in his body was also in a state of imbalance, and he couldn't control his Dou Qi.

The frenzy of the wind elemental roared like a wave of the ocean hitting Xiuyi, and with a wave of one hand, Isador stopped the hurricane in an instant, turning into a gentle breeze that brushed Xiuyi's face.

"This is ......," Huey looked at Isado in amazement

"The Realm of Chaos, which you can also understand as the Realm of Elemental Fury. As Isado's voice came out, the power of the realm suddenly vanished. Domain power is not like ordinary Dou Qi magic, it cannot be restored naturally, and can only be increased through cultivation, so it only has an upper limit and no consumption value. Isadocken demonstrated his domain for Xiuyi, which can be said to have given Xiuyi a lot of face, so he took it away.

Xiu Yi only felt that the surrounding environment immediately returned to quiet, and those violent elements also settled down at the same time.

"Elemental Rage Realm? No...... No, if that's the case, why can't even my vindictiveness be controlled?"

A mysterious smile appeared in Isador's eyes, "Isn't that the answer you need to find?"

Huey understood.

He had long suspected that vindictive energy, like magic, was also related to elemental power. It's just that one is borrowing natural power to cast spells, and the other is cultivating his own body, but in the core essence of power, it is very likely that there are major similarities, but he didn't find the key for a while.

Isador can be said to have made it very clear that if he can't follow this path on his own, he won't have to study the combination of demon warriors.

So he wasn't asking Isado about it.

Suddenly remembering something, he said to Isado.

"By the way, there's one thing I don't understand. How could the Neppleton family have Sky Warriors to serve them?"

"Oh, do you mean Bicombe? It's a long story, Bicomb was born into a poor family, but this kid always wanted to be a samurai. He is very talented in cultivation, and he is very hardworking. He also became a sixth-level samurai when he was about the same age as you, and he was about to break through to become a high-level samurai, but it was at that time that he made a fatal mistake......" Isado paused slightly, and then said unhurriedly: "He fought a duel with someone. ”

"Isn't duel the prerogative of the nobility?" asked Huey.

"That's right, this boy fought a duel with a man for a girl, and in the battle he was severely maimed by the noble son, and he should have been punished with death. It was Neppelton who helped him, and it was the wisest investment this guy had ever made in his life, and Becombe had his heart set on him ever since. ”

"Even the most asshole guy has his shining side. Huey laughed. He didn't expect Neppelton to make such a far-sighted choice, perhaps because of his long-term superiority, which eventually corroded his wisdom and made him proud, arrogant, and unsightly, which finally led to today's end.

"Bicombe's Vajra is pretty good, and I thought he was one of the ones who could become a Star Samurai in the next ten years. ”

"You don't think he can be a sanctuary?"

"No, he doesn't have that qualification. I know what you're trying to say, but Xiuy, don't think about becoming a sanctuary now, it's too far away. Remember, only by grasping the power of the present can we plan for the power of the future. ”

"Only by grasping the present can we plan for the future......" Xiui savored Isado's words: "Yes, Your Majesty Isado, I understand. I'll do what I have to do first. ”

"I heard you asked Bicomb for it?"

"Yes. Although I beat Bicomb today, it was just a fluke. Bicombe's true strength is much better than mine. I think I'm still some way from actually beating Bicombe. But with your guidance, that day shouldn't be too far away. I must say that today is my lucky day, I have met a good opponent and a good mentor. ”

Xiu Yi climbed the pole and pulled Isadore directly to the position of the mentor, without asking Isador if he had the will.

Isador was slightly stunned for a moment, and let out a hearty laugh: "Okay, Xiuyi, if you have any problems with cultivation in the future, just come to me at any time." ”

Xiu Yi was overjoyed.
