Chapter 13: The Ranks of the Strong
This is the third week that Lu Xi has been on Colorful Rose Island, but he feels that in these three weeks, he seems to have exhausted all the diligence he has accumulated for more than ten years.
When you get up at six o'clock in the morning, if you want to lie in bed, you will be poured into soup by a column of water that appears out of thin air.
At half-past six o'clock for breakfast, breakfast was eaten under the supervision of the butler Gamcha. According to the old elf, breakfast is a healthy food that is high in nutrients and low calories, but Lu Xi always feels that these toys should be used to feed the cats.
Between seven and eight o'clock, this is the most important time for magicians to meditate. The magic power consumed by the magician who casts spells every day can only be used through guò meditation to resonate with his spirit and elements, so as to restore his mana. It is said that this time of dawn is the time when meditation is most effective.
At this time, the old butler Gamcha would beat the gong and drum beside him, and said that it was Orucello's instructions. According to him, this is a special training for Lu Xi's concentration.
From eight o'clock to twelve o'clock, Lu Xi finally entered his own working hours. During this period, Orucello's real yàn began, and as a real yàn assistant, Lu Xi needed to clean the test tubes, take care of the mercury lamp, prepare materials, and organize notes. It stands to reason that as a mage, participating in the magic of Orucello will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as it will open a wide door to the truth of the Occult.
It's a pity that Lu Xi, who lacks basic education, only experiences tediousness and fatigue. is like a junior high school student, even if he is inseparable from Hawking every day, it is unlikely that he will have any insights.
From twelve o'clock to half past twelve, lunch time, it is still meow food......
From half past twelve to two in the afternoon, it should be a lunch break for the other magicians.
Mages are a special group of people who need to maintain their full attention, whether it is fighting or researching, or even the most basic meditation. Concentration for long periods of time can be exhausting, so it's important to get healthy and adequate sleep.
However, this is only for other magicians......
"If you do encounter an enemy, will you wait for you to sleep comfortably? The person who I am trained by Orucello must surprise people at all times! ”
So, Lu Xi, who was tired all morning, needed to practice his spell-casting skills at this time, whether it was spells, mudras or running positions. Orucello doesn't care if you're tired or not, as long as he feels dissatisfied, a bolt of lightning will strike over, and it will definitely make Lu Xi's whole body up.
From two to five o'clock, this is free reading time. Orucello's library gave Lu Xi plenty of freedom to read as many books as he pleased. Lu Xi even found incantation scrolls on the bookshelf that were chained with lightning bolts, meteor fire showers, holy words, great splitting, and other great killing weapons, but he didn't have the ambition to learn them. He understood: with his current magic power, if he reluctantly used these strategic weapon-level destructive magic, there would be only one outcome, and he would be paralyzed or even shattered in the backlash of magic.
However, he was not a single man, and he still copied all these spells into his magic book.
From five to half past six, this is unique to Oluseiro and is known as Elemental Communication Training......
Once, Orucello buried Lu Xi in the ground, revealing only one head.
"The so-called magic is that the magician refines the magic through guò meditation, and then communicates with the six elements between heaven and earth through guò magic, and then achieves supernatural phenomena. So, most magicians think that magic is the most important, but I think that a more effective way of communicating with the elements is the most important thing. Orucello said.
"What does this have to do with burying me in the ground?"
"Now that you are almost one with the earth, don't you feel the existence of the earth element?" …,
“…… I'm running out of breath. ”
This is only one aspect, such as tying yourself to a flagpole to feel the wind, such as pressing in the lake to feel the water, such as pressing against the fire to feel the fire...... I won't list them all.
From half past six to seven, it's cat food time again.
From seven to nine o'clock, this is Orucello's evening research time, and Lu Xi must continue his morning work, record a report on the process and results of the practice, and clean up and clean up the room.
From nine to ten o'clock, it's time to wash up and have free time. Usually at this time, Lu Xi would spend half an hour recording today's learning experience, and another half hour to meditate quietly for a while.
At ten o'clock, turn off the lights and go to bed.
This cycle of life went on for three full weeks.
Lu Xi had to admit that Orucello's educational ability was still very reliable. During this time, he did not trigger new tasks, so he could not gain experience, and his level was still stuck at level 10, but through the above-mentioned series of exercises, the most important attributes of the legal profession, such as spirit, intelligence, and perception, have jumped over the 30 mark, and strength, dexterity, and body have also improved slightly.
Perhaps having had enough of the hard life of the waste wood civilians, Lu Xi is currently focusing on the most suitable for combat and auxiliary combat, the plastic energy and spirit magic, and uses the remaining experience to point these two skills into "plastic energy mastery level 2" and "spiritual foundation level 8".
The maximum level of the magic foundation is level 10, and if you level up, it will become "mastery level 1".
In addition, Lu Xi also learned some miscellaneous auxiliary skills, and there is not much left of the tens of thousands of experience points that he has accumulated over the years.
Due to Orucello's inhuman teaching methods, Lu Xi also has an additional talent "Elemental Perception", which has a magic casting speed of +8%. In this way, his comprehensive strength has also leapfrogged the Black Iron Rank and reached the Bronze 3rd Rank, which is already on par with a knight who has completed formal training.
The only pity is that although Orucello is seriously teaching Lu Xi, the B-level task "The Way of the Arcane" is still unfinished, that is, in the heart of the Great Magus, he is not his disciple.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of this day, it was time for the necessary element communication training......
"Tell me, what new tricks do you have today? If it's still a puff in the earth and a fire and a water pool or something, forget it, otherwise I'll doubt your creativity. ”
Orucello straightened his robe, took a puff of his pipe, and then asked, "Do the math first, what magic have you mastered so far?" ”
"Except for flying, it must be some very basic magic. In terms of plastic energy, there are fireball techniques, wind wheel techniques, ground stabbing techniques and dust techniques; The spiritual side can only be rudimentary intimidation and silence. However, the only thing that can do it instantly without a magic weapon is the dust raising technique. ”
"Well, that's pretty good. The vast majority of mage apprentices, before the Academy's trial exams, can only go so far. ”
"That is, it took me three weeks to complete six years of penance for someone else? Uh-huh, I'm a genius. ”
"Don't be stupid. Admission to the Wizard's Academy is generally twelve years old, but the first and second years are devoted to the study of basic and theoretical knowledge; In the third year, he will enter the real yàn room and learn to mix the simplest potions and runes; After the fourth year, you will not be able to officially come into contact with the spellcasting link. One of the most troublesome is to increase one's mental power through guò meditation. You've learned the druid way of meditation from Tifario, and while druid magic and arcane magic are completely different systems of magic, the most basic meditation is the same. Moreover, the Norda Forest is one of the most magical places in the natural world. In other words, you already have more mental power than the average magic apprentice, but you just don't know how to use it. Now, as long as you learn it effectively, mastering these basic techniques is a matter of course. Therefore, it is not you who is the genius, but me, the one who teaches you. ”…,
Orucello gave credit for all the results without changing his face, but he was secretly speechless in his heart. Even if all of the above explanations are reasonable, such progress is a bit exaggerated; He didn't know the existence of the system, and of course he could only secretly admire Lu Xi's talent.
"Is Tifario confused? It's obviously a piece of beautiful jade that hasn't been seen for thousands of years, why did it almost become a waste material? That's probably what Orucello really thinks.
“…… You're the boss, and you're right about anything. Lu Xi pursed his lips, but he didn't argue knowingly.
"However, you have grown faster than I planned. I thought it would take two months to complete the process, but now it only takes three weeks, which is considered talented. It's not as good as me......"
When Lu Xi heard the previous words, he couldn't help but be proud, and as soon as the second half of Orucello's sentence came out, he couldn't help asking, "Then when did you reach my level?" ”
"I cast my first magic when I was two years old, became a full-fledged magician at the age of twelve, and attained the title of Grand Magus at the age of thirty-two. You're at the same level, probably like when I was 10 years old. ”
“…… You just blow it. Lu Xi muttered quietly.
"I know you don't believe it. However, you will soon understand the gap between you and me. Orucello smiled and glanced at Lu Xi, "Today's training is the sparring between you and me!" ”
"Sparring? No kidding. Lu Xi shook his head vigorously, "Although you are a little out of tune (Orucello's green tendons come out), and narcissistic (he gritted his teeth), and sometimes get carried away (the archmage starts to squeak his fists), but you are also an archmagister after all. A small bolt of lightning can smash my apprentice to the ground. How dare I play against you? ”
"Don't worry." Orucello forced a smile out of his hideous expression, "I only use your magic, and I overwhelm the apprentice level with the magic output, so it's okay, right?" ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Then ...... Let's get started! Before Lu Xi's words fell, his left hand had already spread out the magic book, and his right hand had already taken out his magic staff at some point. A wheel-shaped vortex of air roared towards Orucello.
This is the simplest wind wheel technique in wind magic, and when used well, it can even use the fluctuating air flow to form an air blade that directly tears the opponent apart. Don't look at it as less powerful, it can even work wonders if used correctly.
It was the Orucello in front of him who once used an enhanced version of the large wind wheel to restrain the wings of an evil dragon, making it impossible for the opponent to fly, and creating an eternal legend that the dragon clan was thrown to death. His title of "Dragon Slayer" actually came from that.
However, before the wind wheel released by Lu Xi came into contact with the opponent, it seemed to have attracted some invisible destruction, and suddenly disappeared without a trace. At this time, Lu Xi took a few steps back, let out a long breath, and showed a palpitating expression on his face.
Just now, Orucello suddenly let out a snort. There was an endless sense of oppression in that shout, as if a monstrous invisible wave swept towards him, Lu Xi almost subconsciously took a few steps back, and his spirit was scattered, and naturally he couldn't maintain his magic.
This is the "intimidation technique" of the spiritual system, which oppresses the soul of the enemy through guò spirits. Fortunately, Orucello's men showed mercy just now, otherwise with his control of magic power, he would definitely be able to scare Lu Xi to the ground.
"You have to understand that magic is not a show of power. Choosing the most suitable spell at the most appropriate time, this is what a good magician does, and you were right to choose to use the wind wheel to attack suddenly, but it distracted the protection of the spirit, so it gave me a chance. Orusello said. …,
Lu Xi nodded, taking this lesson to heart. He raised the staff in his right hand, and a wave of sand suddenly rose and slashed towards Oruuseiro.
Orucello smiled slightly, raised his left hand, and suddenly formed an invisible air cover, blocking the sand waves from the outside. At this time, he suddenly felt: Lu Xitong guò moved and jumped in a series of movements, moving rapidly, and it was difficult for him to capture his exact location for a while.
"This looks like a magician, it's clearly a wild monkey." Orucello couldn't help but shake his head, but he was quickly relieved when he remembered Lu Xi's sixteen years of life in the Norda Forest.
At this moment, Lu Xi jumped behind Orucello, he raised his staff, and his body was already covered in a burning flame, forming the shape of a sword.
The blade of the flames crumbled before it could reach Orucello's body. The Grand Magister turned halfway around and slammed his right fist into Lu Xi's face; So, the little otaku flew two meters away like this, and his face was almost swollen and tall, not to mention maintaining the fire sword.
"Ah, it hurts," Lu Xi covered his face and shouted, "Teacher, you actually use your fists, is this also a magician?" ”
"Who told you that a magician must use magic when he fights?" Orucello tilted his head and looked down condescendingly at Lu Xi, his sneering gaze as if he was mocking a mentally retarded person, "Like this situation just now, don't you think it works very well?" However, I'm going to be impressed with you, I didn't think you even learned the Flame Sword. It's a pity that it's completely out of place, you don't know swordsmanship at all, what's the use of condensing a flaming sword that sharpens iron like clay? ”
"Well, that's right," Lu Xi nodded and thought, "It seems that I have to find a chance to learn some protective martial arts, I remember the last time I saw a copy of "Ancient Oakland Knight Swordsmanship" in the library......"
"Don't get distracted while fighting!" Orucello shouted. A flying wind wheel exploded under his feet, and then with the force of the wind, his body rushed in front of Lu Xi like lightning.
"Bang!" Before Lu Xi could react, his head had already been knocked lightly by a cane.
"It's so unfair! Why can you instantaneously cast spells so lightly, without even using a magic weapon? ”
"Then let me ask you, under what circumstances can you instantaneously cast a spell?"
"The easiest and most difficult way is to memorize the spells of the spells, and keep practicing the skills of casting spells, so that you can do whatever you want, such as using your fingers and even instincts......"
"Then why is it the hardest?"
"Of course. There are one hundred and eight letters of the incantation, and the number of arrangements that can be performed is absolutely astronomical, and there are now more than thirty thousand known orderly arrangements. It's impossible for any magician to memorize more than 30,000 kinds of magic, right? It's nice to be able to practice a limited number of them. ”
"Yes, most magicians can't do instant magic on their own in their lifetime. However, when it comes to fighting, it is not always possible for you to chant a spell, so what is the second method? ”
"Of course, it is with the help of external forces, that is, magic weapons." Lu Xi said, "No matter what kind of magic weapon, it is basically divided into two kinds - magic books and magic staffs. Spellbooks are used to keep track of spells, while staffs are used to store and amplify mana. The magic book is made of special materials, as long as it is connected to the spirit of the mage, the mage can easily put the spell on the book into the brain, which eliminates the time for chanting the mantra; Before the battle, the mage can store the prepared mana into the staff, just like the arrows prepared by the archers. With these two, there are conditions for instantaneous magic. ”
"You're right, it seems that the usual basic learning has not been in vain." Orucello nodded, "It's just a well-known method, though. ”
"Whether you practice on your own or borrow a magic weapon, to put it bluntly, you communicate with the elements through guò mantras. However, many people don't know that people themselves are the real treasure trove. People themselves are the best props to communicate with the elements. Orucello smiled and held out his right hand. A flame bloomed in the palm of his hand, and the flames danced like a dance, and the colors were constantly changing. Holy white, warm orange, warm red, seductive purple, cool cyan, serene blue and deep black, purple and red, fragrant.
The flames danced, changing shapes, and finally, slowly condensed into a strange multicolored rose.
Lu Xi couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at such a gorgeous scene.
"Spells and artifacts are necessary, but not the only. You have to learn to communicate with your body and mind and elements, and to control magic with your soul and mind. Only then, in the realm of the arcane, will you be able to step into the ranks of the strong! ”
