Hearing the young man say this, the village chief suddenly became angry: "Kyle, don't talk nonsense if you kid doesn't understand the rules, hurry up and shut up, sit aside and stay." ”

It's no wonder that the village chief is so angry, he knows very well that for spellcasters, magic is their proudest specialty, and it is the foundation that supports their pride...... That's basically the feeling, for anyone with a little self-esteem, it's strange not to beat the person who says such brainless words to vomit blood, let alone the caster represented by the mysterious and terrifying.

Seeing that his grandfather suddenly became angry, Kyle also knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, he smiled apologetically at Liang Lidong, and then ran to the side and sat down, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

"Your Excellency the Reverend Priest, Kyle is still young and ignorant, he doesn't have a heart!" The village chief observed Liang Lidong's expression as he spoke: "Three years ago, Kyle was seriously ill and almost died, and it was a priest who saved him, and since then, Kyle has been very longing for the spellcaster, and he has always dreamed of learning magic, which is why he is so excited and contradicts you." ”

Liang Lidong waved his hand: "It's okay!" ”

The old man and the boy breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

If it was an ordinary spellcaster, when they heard the boy's previous words, they would probably get angry, and even if they didn't give Kyle a certain punishment, they would probably walk away. However, Liang Lidong is not one of those traditional nobles, a traditional spellcaster, he is just a player. On the contrary, he admires a straight teenager like Kyle, at least he understands it and doesn't hurt people casually. He looked at the boy and continued, "Your name is Kyle, right, I heard your father say that you are still practicing swords, why do you want to learn magic?" ”

"Practicing swordsmanship can strengthen your body, and learning magic can enrich your spirit!" Kyle stood up and said excitedly, "This is what our ancestor, the legendary brave Kate Reed, said, and it has always been remembered in the clan motto. I think the ancestor is right, I can practice swordsmanship according to the sword book left by my ancestors, but the problem is magic, and it is said that my ancestors also left magic books, but unfortunately they disappeared a long time ago. ”

It seems that this family firmly believes that the legendary brave is their ancestor, Liang Lidong said with a smile: "Indeed, the legendary brave is right, swordsmanship can exercise the body, and magic can enrich the spirit, but the problem is that this rule is only applicable to those geniuses, and ordinary people are extremely poor in their lives, and it is difficult to achieve achievements in one aspect, let alone two aspects." I can see that you think magic is very powerful, but in essence, swordsmanship is not bad, top swordsmanship, such as the Great Swordsman, killing efficiency, is not much worse than the legendary mage, and in terms of survivability, the Great Swordsman is much stronger than the legendary mage. ”

Kyle's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was still a little puzzled: "But I heard that when the magicians wave their hands, it is a meteor shower, and it is very simple to destroy a city, and the great swordsmen don't have such great skills." ”

"Yes, the Great Swordsmen are indeed inferior to the mages in this regard." Liang Lidong smiled: "But the problem is that ordinary large-scale spells are useless to the Great Swordsman, they have the special ability of legendary tenacity, if the magic strength is not enough, even if the magic flame burns on them for a day and a night, there is no way to hurt them half a point, if you want to deal with the Great Swordsman, you must use monolithic, high-intensity magic, such as a large fireball." It's just a pity that the speed of the great swordsman is very fast, very flexible, and he will sprint and slash, jump and slash, a magician of the same level, against the great swordsman, if there is no special ability, it is generally a failure. The two of them have different combat methods, the great swordsman is good at dealing with legendary creatures, such as dragons, and the mages are good at group combat, they are better at controlling the rhythm of battle, and let them deal with legendary creatures like dragons, there is no return. ”

Kyle's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and he is the only one in this village who is practicing his swordsmanship, dreaming of becoming a mercenary and breaking into the world. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said how many swords he had swung today, and I heard how many goblins a mercenary had eliminated and how many treasures had been unearthed in a certain place, and the other friends had picked up the most firewood today, where to graze the sheep yesterday, and whether there was bread to eat the day after tomorrow.

Due to the different circumstances and the different heights of his dreams, Kyle has no close friends in the village, and only Belin can talk to him, because Belin is willing to listen to his dreams and ideals, while others are not, and they will spend more time on filling their stomachs.

Kyle asked again, "Then if the Great Swordsman is so powerful, why are they magicians in reality, and the Warlocks are even more powerful?" ”

"First of all, magicians, warlocks have a lot of practical magic, for example." Liang Lidong waved his hand, and a certain oak bad man on the table not far away floated up in the air and floated into his hand. Playing with the cup in his hand, he smiled: "Magic is not only used to kill people, but can also be used to change the shape of the earth, change the climate, heal the wounded, create wealth, and explore the truth of the world. It can take care of every aspect of people's lives. A magician who only knows how to kill is not a qualified magician, only a person who applies magic to life can really be called a magician. And the Great Swordsman...... Although they are powerful, they are just simple executioners. Do you think the executioner is respected, or is a magician who can work for the benefit of the general population respected? ”

"And another reason is that the growth of the Great Swordsman is very difficult, he must keep fighting in the sea of blood, keep fighting, and he also needs to have talent before he can become a Great Swordsman." Liang Lidong sighed and said: "How many people have fallen on the path of their dreams without becoming a great swordsman, and how many people have fled the path of the great swordsman because of fear. ”

Kyle was silent for a moment, "No one has ever told me anything about it. ”

The village chief took the opportunity to say, "Kyle, you now know the dangers of the mercenary profession, if you are not careful, you will die in a foreign land. If something happens to you, how will you let grandpa live in the future. ”

Kyle looked at the village chief, and he suddenly said with a beaming expression: "Grandpa, it is the responsibility of our descendants to regain the glory of our ancestors, since the road of swordsmen is so difficult, then I can choose the path of magic, after all, our ancestors are also legendary warriors who know how to use magic, I have his blood in my body, I believe I can do it too." Your Excellency, can you tell me what is the most basic requirement for learning magic? ”

"First of all, the condition is to have enough intelligence." Liang Lidong saw that the topic turned back to magic, and he said: "Whether it is a magician, a warlock, or a priest, the first thing to do if you want to learn magic is to have enough intelligence. In other words, you have to be smart enough. Magicians focus on understanding everything in the world, so they require higher intelligence to learn magic, warlocks only require the intelligence of normal people, and then they require special bloodlines, and priests, although the intelligence required is slightly lower than that of magicians, but their requirements for willpower are quite strict, only people with strong willpower and can maintain devotion to God can become priests and use the power of God to perform divine magic. ”

"I don't think I'm stupid." Kyle puffed out his chest, "Or I can try to be a magician." ”

Liang Lidong also smiled, he looked at the young man rather playfully: "I know you are not stupid, I believe that your intelligence can indeed meet the minimum requirements of a magician." But before that, let me ask, you just said that you saved a lot of money, how much? ”

"Seventeen silver coins!" Kyle said smugly.

Hahahaha! Liang Lidong smiled good-naturedly, and he said, "I also know something about the profession of magician. As far as I know, if you have the minimum intelligence required for a mage, then you will have to prepare a spell book that opens spell slots, and the number of spell slots is related to intelligence. Do you know how much such a magic book costs? ”

"How much?" Kyle's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to buy one.

"One Hundred ...... Gold. Liang Lidong did not hesitate to strike at the young man's fragile heart: "This is still the basic price within the Magician's Guild, if it is sold to the outside world, the price will have to be increased by about fifty percent, that is, one hundred and fifty gold coins." ”

"One hundred and fifty gold coins!" Kyle's eyes were already starting to lose sight, and he had saved seven years of pocket money to save seventeen silver coins, and he couldn't even afford the cover of a spell slot spellbook. One hundred and fifty gold coins is already a tax revenue for a small city for about a year.

"Even if you are amazing and can condense spell slots by yourself, it will take more than ten years." Liang Lidong's expression became quite 'malicious': "The pioneer of the magician profession, when the goddess of magic was still a human, she discovered the method of condensing spell bits, do you know how long it took her to condense a spell bit?" Five years and six months, she is a genius among geniuses, and in the past 10,000 years, she has been the only super genius who can become a god in human body. Do you think you can compare to the goddess of magic? ”

Kyle's expression became unconfident, "I...... I! ”

"Well, taking a step back, after condensing the first spell slot, the faster the subsequent spell slots will come, even if you are very smart, as long as you have condensed enough spell slots in about fifteen years. Now it's time to learn magic. ”

Hearing this, Kyle's face was lit with hope again, he was only fifteen years old now, even if it was fifteen years later, he would only be thirty years old, and it was not too late to become a real magician at the age of thirty.

Liang Lidong glanced at the young man and said with a smile: "To learn magic, you need magic to construct a model, which also requires money. ”

Hearing this, Kyle had a bad premonition, "How much does it take?" ”

"Generally speaking, even the worst mage can awaken 5 level zero spell slots, 4 level 1 spell slots, 3 level 2 spell slots, 2 level 3 spell slots, and 1 level 4 spell slot. The most basic zero-level spell construction model sells for ten gold coins, and then each level of spells is twice as expensive as the spells of the previous level, and I remember that the worst mages need at least 350 gold coins to fill their spell slots. However, a mage can change the spell slot to deal with a variety of different combat environments, so a qualified mage must learn at least twice as much magic as the spell slot, which means that you have to spend seven hundred gold coins to become a qualified mage, and the worst of the mages. ”

Kyle's face had begun to turn green.
