Chapter V: Agreements
"The upper limit of your own volume? -----β
The boy looked at his hand, pinched it, rubbed it again, and looked at the old magician
"What do you mean?"
The old magician, with his back against the wall, his staff on his staff, his eyes fixed on the boy, turned his head to look out the window, and the birds flew by the window
"As I literally mean, magic is formed by the passage of magic power through the magic circuit, and then combined with spells, flowing into the magic circle or objects that can carry magic power."
As he spoke, he stood up from the wall, walked back to the desk, sat down, casually opened the book with an iron cover on the table, closed it again, and slowly leaned back on the back of the chair
"It's like in reality, how big a container is to hold a lot of items, if you still have to stuff things into it-------"
As he spoke, he picked up the magic gem on the table, and gradually the gem emitted a faint light, gradually brightening, and suddenly the gem emitted a dazzling light
γSmackγ
Bursting, shards of gems spilled on the ground, and the old magician bent down to pick up the largest piece and threw it in front of the young man, who caught it and looked back and forth
"It's going to be like this thing, pop and explode" paused for a moment and "cough, look over here"
As he spoke, the young man on the side turned his head and looked at the old magician, but his hand quietly stuffed the gem fragment into his pocket
"Okay, Mr. Merlin," grinned
The old magician touched his forehead helplessly and continued
"If you don't control it, you'll explode like this gem," he said in an eerie tone, "[pop], blood, intestines, minced flesh, twisted limbs, cracked heads, brains slowly flowing out of the skull, hum what a curious picture-----------"
The effect seemed to be very good, but the young man opposite had a blue face, stiffness and trembling, and his nose was about to flow out with fright
"But, disgusting stinking, stinky old man, no, isn't it just a piece of fragment, you want to get this, so intimidating me?"
"Hahaha~, stinky little ghost, I'm not scaring you, master~" As he spoke, he suddenly put his face in front of the boy and said strangely, "This is true~"
"Ahhh
Merlin slowly walked in the direction of the young man, cornered him, and slowly crouched down, revealing a smile that he thought was terrifying
"Smack!~"
"Ahh-------h
"Oops, dizzy, so intimidating, hahahaha, cool!"
------------
"Well, where is this?"
Suddenly, an old face stretched out in front of him
"In My Bed"
"Ahhh β
"That's right, it's me"
"Really, I'm really sorry, please forgive me for "throwing myself to the ground" and tell me, is there any remedy and solution? β
The old magician touched his beard with great pleasure
"Of course there is, or I'll tell you?"
As he spoke, he took out a pendant from his pocket that was white and transparent, like a drop shape, and in the middle there was a small magic array that emitted a faint blue light
"That's it, the Induction Magic Crystal! -----β
"In the middle is also sealed the high-level demon ------ that I signed during my adventures when I was young."
"Remember to stop the magic when this gem glows red----"
"As for the solution---- squinting his eyes and glancing at the teenager, "cough, it's to increase the strength of the body----"
The boy scratched his head in confusion
"Is it -- constantly exercising?"
"Well, it's one of -----"
"Is there any other way?"
"There are many kinds! As you said, there is constant exercise, there is self-generated magic, and relying on magic to gradually improve one's physique, normal people are like this------"
"And the last one, alchemy------"
At this time, the young man was anxious and hurriedly interrupted
"Wait a minute, it's not going to be a piece of iron-----"
"Don't interrupt the master!" Violent trembling
"Oh" touched his head
"Alchemy, in fact, is not just about refining metal," paused, "You can also create creatures with life and mind, and it's a magic ------ that is very close to the realm of the gods."
"Yes, android?"
"Yes, just as God created the world, and animals and humans -----"
"Then why do you want to increase your physical strength?"
"Have you heard, our King Uther? , there is the power in the king's body, and he was given the power of the fantasy red dragon by God."
"Is that man like the god of war," the boy bowed his head and pondered, "is it because of him that he has protected Britain from being corrupted by Rome?" β
"Suffice it to say-----" "Got it, since the gods can infuse people with the power of dragons, then people can also gain incredible power through alchemy-----"
The boy was excited, but seemed to have thought of something
"Then if you don't get it, you'll become a monster, right?"
"That's why I gave you this crystal, which will turn red when the energy is beyond your ability to bear!"
"Oh, the function card is complete."
"Of course, this is, Avalon sent it to the Elven Queen, hahaha" "Saved me many times in the magic test!" β
Merlin Magician said he was proud
"That --------"
"Don't think about it, I don't need it anymore, besides, I'm just two disciples, you and Arthur."
As he spoke, he kindly touched the boy's head
"Arthur focuses on kendo, and you also focus on kendo, but you are the most suitable magician among them, and if you focus on magic, you may be the first magician to step into the roots in the future."
Merlin Magician shook his head a little frustratedly and looked at the boy firmly
"Ignore my last words! The sword is the path you choose, and the random suggestions of others will only distract you, and only focusing on one is the strongest way"
"Yes, Mr. Merlin!" A firm and powerful answer
"Okay, then I'll teach you how to use alchemy to strengthen your body-----

Training ground
At this time, the battle has entered the white-hot stage
Battles can no longer be carried out with the eyes of normal people
Like mad beasts, the two of them collided violently with scattered sparks, the tip of their swords slashing across the sky, emitting a bagpipe-like wail, and flying dust covering the earth
The attack is like the claws of a lion, trying to tear apart the opponent, like the spikes of fangs, which can pierce the abdominal cavity of another predator at any moment
However, under the opponent's strong swordsmanship and terrifying power, it could not have any lethal effect at all
The boy looked at the girl
"Yes, this is the feeling, it is the battle we are pursuing, the power of the engine, the speed of the flash, the incomparable swordsmanship, the heart beating fiercely in the chest, the hot blood rushing through the blood vessels, it is so wonderful, this is our fate!"
The girl's eyes flashed with battle intent and she swung her sword a few times
"I am convinced of your heartfelt statements"
"Thank you for your approval, but I'll take your real name and victory!"
The boy slowly put the sword in front of him, clenched it tightly, and the pendant on his chest emitted a strange light, slowly turning red
When the red light was full, it stopped, the wind rose, no, it was a storm of magic power, the blue lightning enveloped the boy, it was an electromagnetic storm formed by magic squeezing the air, and an extremely excited and excited mood filled his heart
Silently, the wind curled the hem of his clothes and blew the ends of his hair, and the silver knight's sword was mixed with electricity
The ground was sinking, the dust of the gravel was violently spreading in all directions, and the lawn was being rolled up in strands
Qing slowly opened her eyes, looked up, and looked at the girl
"Here comes -----"
γBoomγ
The body forms an afterimage that elongates backwards, and the ground bursts into a crater, and the hair grazes through the air
In an instant, he came to the girl, raised the long sword in his hand, and slashed it
γPing~γ
The girl barely caught the sword she had chopped, and she was overwhelmed by it, her legs pressed into the earth, the stones cracking, the earth trembling, and the sword creaking
"You lost ----"
Qing looked at the girl who was struggling to support her with her head down
"I, I won't admit defeat----" the girl said quietly
"What?"
"I'm not going to admit defeat~" The blonde girl shouted loudly
The sword was picked open, and the immense force pushed the boy backwards
The girl's breath is different from just now, and there is a frightening smell in the air, an aura that humans don't have
In the mage tower in the distance, Merlin Magician had already risen from his chair and "appeared, appeared-----------------------------------"
At this time, the training ground, sand, whirlwind, stone and soil, were all swept up into the sky, twisting and stretching wantonly in the air
The girl's eyes changed, and her cyan pupils exuded the light of an ancient giant beast
The corners of his mouth rose "I'm coming------"
Disappeared in an instant, no, not disappeared, but too quickly
The young man held the sword and looked around vigilantly, looking for the figure of the girl
βοΌβ Coming from behind!
Turn around, block
γι΅γ
Blocked! Then the incomparably huge force came!
'Knocked away', this is the message that the body transmits to the brain after blocking
The body rolled on the grass and dirt until it flew and crashed into a wall
The boy lay on his back in the ruins of the stone wall, his hair and mouth full of weeds, staring blankly at the sky
At this moment, a figure came to the boy and stretched out his hand, it was a blonde girl
"I won -----"
Hold the girl's hand and be pulled up
"Ah, I lost"
Straightened up and stood firm, smiling at the girl
The girl smiled back and gently approached the boy's ear
"My real name is Artoria Pendragon"
The young man suddenly blushed, hurriedly retreated, scratched his hot face embarrassedly, and after a while he calmed down, looking at the girl persistently
"Since you have given me your real name in advance, then I must return the courtesy" "I, in the name of Justt Qing Gungnir in this life, swear that I will use my strength as proof to defeat Artoria Pendragon, are you satisfied?" β
The girl smiled back
"Waiting for you"
Hearing the girl's answer, Qing secretly leaned against the girl's side
"So, can I call you Lily when no one is around?"
The girl stroked her head
"It's really a ----- climb down the pole" "So, okay, hum"
"Oh ~ yes yes yes yes yes ------------------- hahahaha"
The boy shouted as he ran, lying on the grass and looking up at the sun in the sky
"It's so warm-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
