There is a famous saying in the Faren Continent that if you haven't seen the battle between high-level mages with your own eyes, then you will never know how dangerous this world is. Strange and changeable methods, unexpected effects, even the mighty giants, the dragons that dominate the sky, they have to bow their proud heads in front of them.

In the eyes of most young people, spellcasters are a bunch of cool guys who can unleash deadly spells with a few beautiful spells and a few fancy movements with both hands. Many apprentices have seen the magnificent illusions and tricks of the circus before they finally embark on the path of magic.

After all, for most intelligent life, those beautiful things are always particularly attractive, but few people pay attention to the dangers hidden under the glossy exterior, just as the most beautiful animals and plants in nature often carry deadly toxins.

Alan remembers very well that the first time he became interested in magic was because his aunt had performed a "magic trick", and he was deeply fascinated by the brilliant and changeable colors, and he was inadvertently immersed in it. He once thought that magic was simply to create beauty, but it wasn't until he began to study the system that he realized that it was an extremely dangerous energy that would throw his life away if he was not careful.

Many mages believe that magic is a rigorous science, and that only by studying and exploring it carefully can one truly grasp the laws and make them work for themselves. But the reality is the opposite, the real primitive magical energy is chaotic and manic, and only the energy filtered by the magic net will become docile, about this. From the very beginning, Henry sued his sister and two children.

It is precisely because of this warning. Alan while studying in the High Fence Fort. I never dared to do things that were beyond my ability, for fear that I would accidentally turn myself into a chicken. On more than one occasion, Tyrantiel used the events of Merlican as a negative lesson, so his power grew slowly for a long time.

But this qiē was completely ruined after the arrival of the dark elves. In a dangerous environment, he had to seize every second to strengthen his strength, and the research and books that he did not dare to do before were all taken out and repeatedly explored, and as long as he was 50% sure, he put them into practice.

Once again, the old adage has been proven. Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. If a person does not dare to take even the slightest danger, then he will achieve nothing.

There was no doubt that Allen's adventure was successful, and in a very short period of time he quickly crossed the threshold of apprenticeship and advanced to a higher spellcasting level, and in less than two weeks, he had already achieved something that ordinary mages could not achieve in three years. But now instead of being satisfied, he is more eager for more...... More...... More power, like those who are fighting ahead. With every move, he can unleash a powerful magic unimaginable to ordinary people, causing the hard marble floor and the ground to crack in an instant.

But obviously. This is completely impossible to do in a short period of time. Because whether it is the Dark Elf Grand (Mage), the Lich, or the two Divine Servants who shimmer with positive energy, they all have the power they have today after hundreds of years of accumulation.

Perhaps in the entire main plane, only Henry can grow rapidly with the help of the system. But this is not without costs and flaws, in terms of plane exploration, life research, puppet manufacturing, etc., he has almost no achievements, because there is simply not enough time to stop and study, and the only thing he can do is the terrifying spell casting level and strong combat power.

Just look at the current battle situation, Henry only used two "simulacrums" to create a clone to beat the lich dizzy, and he didn't even make a move, just stood aside and continued to block the entire room to prevent someone from using teleportation magic to escape.

On the other side, the three high-level mages of the dark elves were under the pressure of Lunza and Kailin, and the combination of magic and martial arts was amazingly powerful, coupled with the unique flying ability of celestial creatures, they could only run for their lives, believing that as soon as the protective magic was used up, someone would die immediately.

It can be said that from the very beginning of this battle, the two sides were not on the same level, whether it was personal strength or intelligence work, Henry left the dark elves far behind. He first used the Geralt family to transfer a large number of elites from the Mage Tower, and used the wood elves to completely wipe them out on the surface.

Then he deliberately spread the news of the defeat, making the First Family the target of public criticism, causing the entire city to lose its supreme leader and plunge into unprecedented chaos. In the current situation, no family would send soldiers to reinforce the mage tower, and a few mages and a legendary lich who were less than level seventeen wanted to turn the tables? There are no doors!

The whole invasion plan was a complete conspiracy, and the calculated dark elf mages were in a state of ignorance from beginning to end, and they did not wake up until the last moment, thinking that the human mage in front of them was only out of anger, especially since the lich had been trying to negotiate.

Looking at the one-sided battle situation, Henry turned his head and asked his son, "Alan, sue me, which aspect do you think is the most important for a powerful spellcaster?" Whether it's the ability to learn, the amount of magic mastery, the speed at which spells are cast, the ability to research well, the level of spell casting, or the thoughtfulness of thought. Think carefully before answering, as it has a good chance of affecting you for the rest of your life. ”

"I ...... I don't know, father. Alan replied a little overwhelmed.

He feels that these are very important for mages, they can't improve their strength without excellent learning ability, too few spells to master means that they are not adaptable, not fast enough to cast spells means that the mage is not suitable for combat, too poor research ability to make magic items and puppet creatures, and many things can't be done without enough spell casting level, as for careful thinking, isn't it what all spellcasters should have?

For a moment, the boy fell into deep thought. He looked at the dark elves and lichs on the battlefield for a while, then at his smiling father standing aside, and finally stopped his gaze on his hand, and after half a minute, as if he understood something, those silver eyes suddenly bloomed with a strange look.

"I think the most important thing as a mage is to always be religious about magic itself. It is the source of strength for all casters, as well as faith and sustenance. No matter how powerful a mage is, if he loses this attitude, he will inevitably fail in the near future. As for what you are talking about, while also very important, it is not fundamental. ”

With that, Eren raised his head and stared at his father, eager to get affirmation from there. He just subconsciously felt that this was the right path, but he didn't dare to be completely sure, after all, for a child less than ten years old, this question was a bit too profound, and maybe even many great (mage) masters might not be able to answer it.

Hearing this answer, Henry smiled, and smiled very happily. He found that his son was better than he had imagined, and at such a young age he understood what was the most fundamental thing for a mage.

That's right, it's real magic itself, also known as primordial magic or wild magic. It doesn't belong to the web, it doesn't belong to the goddess of magic, it doesn't have any good or evil, it's just that it fills the entire main plane with an image of energy, even the multiverse. Maybe ordinary people don't feel it at all, and in their lives, these energies are everywhere.

The magic of the entire Faeron continent has many independent systems, the earliest of which is the Saruk Witch, who was the first to discover these energies, and created the "Nexriel Scroll" before the birth of the magic net, which had an immeasurable impact on the later magical civilization, and the Nesshrel era was also opened, which can be regarded as the most widely spread system.

The second is brought by the High Elves from another world, and it has a very complete theory from the beginning, so the development speed is very fast, especially in terms of large magic arrays, which are absolutely unique, and the magic lock is the most representative achievement.

As for the third type, it was born more than 10,000 years ago, during the Fifth Crown War of the Elves, and the humans in the east established an empire that was even more powerful than the Nethril civilization, Imaska. At that time, the mage was called the "Strange Mechanic", especially good at making all kinds of magic items and puppets, and could be called the pinnacle in space exploration, and could even chisel through the crystal wall, you must know that this is something that even gods can't do, and until now no civilization can surpass it.

Of course, like all vast empires, Imasca was eventually destroyed. They used the transcrystalline portal to plunder a large number of people, and as a result, the guide brought back the gods of the other world, and under the leadership of the gods, all the slaves broke out into a large-scale uprising, burying this glorious civilization.

In order to prevent a resurgence, the two gods did something that set civilization backwards, that is, to destroy all traces of the Imaska Empire, including writing, architecture, knowledge, history, and even legends. Eventually, the magical techniques that had amazed the gods disappeared, and not even a single trace was handed down.

It can be said that the reason why these three different magical civilizations have been able to reach such heights is because of their in-depth study of primitive magic, since the emergence of the magic web, spellcasters have gradually become accustomed to using spells in this way quickly, and very few people explore those elusive wild magic, so it can be said that one generation is not as good as the next.

This is also why in the future DR1385, that is, the year of the Blue Flame, when the goddess of magic dies again, why will countless mages either die or go crazy, because they rely too much on the magic web. Just like modern people are accustomed to the Windows operating system and suddenly revert to the most primitive 0 and 1 code operations, I am afraid that 99.99% of people will go crazy.

Although Henry himself enjoyed the efficiency and convenience of the magic web, he never relied on, otherwise he would not have hollowed out his mind to make a very primitive profession, the Arcanist. He knew that if he wanted to become as great as the gods, he would have to break free from his reliance on the web and start with the most primitive wild magic and take a different path from most spellcasters.
