my age of magic

Chapter 216 16. Walking on Water
Sometimes it is just inadvertently that some important things may be overlooked.

It was a green rose, which looked like a flower bud at first, and later, it slowly bloomed into a delicate rose in my hands, and the color gradually faded from thick, when the rose was completely carved out Afterwards, it turned out to be a white rose with only a green edge. In order to learn how to carve apples, I worked so hard at the beginning, just to show it off in front of girls and make the girl I like smile with a smile on her face. Will suffice.

Unexpectedly, this time, I showed my hand in front of this middle-aged water magician who claimed to be an artist.

On the contrary, the orc child stood aside and looked at us curiously. I found that his eyes became very hot when he saw the ice wall. The child was very interested in magic.I turned around and wanted to leave again. The middle-aged magician was still holding the rose in his hand and pondering over and over again. Seeing that I wanted to leave again, he hurriedly asked me, "Young man, where are you going?"

"He said he was going home!" the orc child explained to the middle-aged magician next to him in orc language.

"You don't want to save those people on the other side of the lake? You want to escape? Didn't you always want to kill them? Why did you give up now?" The middle-aged mage saw that my footsteps did not stop, so he hurriedly chased me He questioned me, maybe because he was a little eager, and in a panic, he accidentally stepped into a crevice of pebbles and wet his leather boots.

The middle-aged magician loves cleaning very much. Frowning, he pulled out his wet feet from the mud, immediately condensed a water ball, rinsed the muddy shoe, and immediately uttered a series of incantations, full of strong The water elements surrounded him, and the next moment, he was proudly standing in the shallow water by the lake, and miraculously floated on the surface of the water. When the waves rushed to his feet, they miraculously separated to the two sides, Actively avoid the middle-aged magician.

"Doesn't it feel magical? Interesting? Do you want to learn? Oh, I guess you're not old enough to go to school, you haven't participated in the awakening ceremony? Do you want to become a magician? If, I mean if... you have I have a chance to become a magician, do you want to try it?" He smiled at me triumphantly.

I didn't react immediately, so I said to the middle-aged magician: "Everyone has the opportunity to become a magician, I know it!"

The middle-aged magician looked like a demon with a golden apple in his hand, proudly standing by the well to lure the children to sell their souls.Pointing to the halo of water elements constantly spreading out under his feet, he thought I couldn't see those magic elements spreading out, so he explained to me: "Look, this is magical magic, the sages have endowed it with a very beautiful The name is 'Walking on Water'."

"Look, isn't this skill cool? Only by becoming a magician can you learn to cast spells, just like me!" He gave some simple introductions, while on the other hand he kept releasing some simple spells.

"And you, boy, you are lucky! You met me before you participated in the awakening ceremony, and I happened to have a way to make you a little bit more likely to become a magician than others. Of course, in fair exchange, as long as you teach The carving technique I just did is fine!" The middle-aged magician continued.

I began to ask her: "Isn't it up to Lady Luck to decide whether to become a magician? Are you her servant?"

After hearing this, he laughed and said: "You are right, I am very willing to be the servant of all the goddesses, but unfortunately I am not!"

I stopped and asked him curiously: "You said you have a way to improve your chances of becoming a magician during the awakening ceremony?"

The Magic Awakening Ceremony has always been a very mysterious thing to me.

The middle-aged magician saw that I was really interested in this matter, so he stood beside me and said to me: "That's right, you see, I just happened to discover a little secret in the Magic Awakening Ceremony."

"That's the real purpose of the magic awakening ceremony. One is to awaken one's own magic element carrying capacity. Generally speaking, everyone is a carrier of magic elements. Our bodies often contain magic elements of various departments, but Those magic elements cannot be stored in us for too long, only when those magic elements can be stored in our body, then we are qualified to become magicians. Of course, at the same time, we must have an affinity for magic elements in order to awaken to become a magician qualifications."

The middle-aged magician asked me to stand on the water like him. I was a little unbelievable. It felt like standing on the ice and watching the waves under my feet separate from the sides of my body. It felt very amazing.The middle-aged magician took my hand. He was letting me experience the feeling of magic. He then said to me: "Actually, those children who have been screened out all have affinity for magic elements. Build a barrier that can seal the magic elements, and such a magic barrier is called a magic pool by everyone. Whether you can build your own magic pool is also the key to becoming a magician."

The middle-aged magician withdrew his gaze and looked at my face.Then say:
"When some children's bodies are successfully piled up into a magic pool, it means that the remaining magic elements in the body can be gathered in the body's magic pool, thus completing the last step of building the magic barrier in the body, forming the initial magic pool, and then The successful magic power is gathered in the magic pool, and everyone usually calls this ceremony a magic awakening ceremony."

I actually don’t know what is going on in the magic awakening ceremony at all, but when I heard the middle-aged magician speak clearly and logically, I thought what he said was very reasonable. He told the whole process of the magic awakening ceremony, but I didn’t find anything. Can increase the chances of becoming a magician.

Then I heard the middle-aged magician say to me: "Every child is born with magical affinity, and the strength of these magical affinity directly affects whether a barrier can be built to seal the magical elements. The stronger the magical affinity , the greater the chance of building a magic pool, but if you are not a magician, you will not be able to realize your own affinity for magic elements."

He continued: "Actually, I have a way, which is to let you feel the strength of your magic affinity."

While condensing a rhombus-shaped magic crystal in his hand, he said: "As long as you stand next to my magical magic crystal every day and experience the subtle magic elements in the air, there will always be some elements that like to get close to you! After participating in the awakening ceremony Before, next to the magic crystal, feeling the magic elements in the air, the magic affinity will definitely increase."

"My method is very simple to put it bluntly. It is to artificially increase my magic affinity before participating in the magic awakening ceremony. But it is a bit difficult to do. Magicians with magic perception power need a lot of time to meditate to improve their magic affinity. Unless I help you realize the magical elements in the air..."

How can I let him explore my magic affinity? According to what he said, although I don't have a magic pool in my body at this time, I am already a container of magic elements, and the nodes in my body can store some magic. Power, and my magic affinity is also very high, how dare he know the secrets in these bodies.

According to what he said, in fact, I can understand that there are two important factors for the successful awakening to become a magician. The first is that you need to be born as a magic carrier and be able to carry a certain amount of magic power.The second point is that the higher the affinity of magic elements, the easier it is to build a magic pool. I heard that he was going to check some of my affinity for magic, so I backed away in fright, and said, "My ability to carve radish flowers is actually just to keep practicing. , there is no trick at all! Just practice!"

"Practice, yes, why didn't I think of it!" The middle-aged magician laughed.

He stared at me, as if he had realized something, and said quickly: "You are not a magician at all, so you can't use magic perception to enhance your keen senses, so you can simply rely on carving practice to make this flower The flower is perfectly carved, it is really a beautiful work of art!"

"As for me, I have always let myself fall into a misunderstanding, that is, I think that magic is omnipotent. In fact, these technical carving techniques are the real art. These cannot be solved by magic. Magic engraving Although the things that come out are beautiful and flawless, they also have no soul and no life! Only the most basic carving skills can integrate the sculptor's mood into the work..."

The middle-aged magician fell into obsession again, he kept talking to himself, and then he laughed: "Hahaha, those ridiculous inscription masters may never understand why they are stuck at the bottleneck of the first-level inscription , They have been pursuing their magic control ability, affinity and accuracy, but they have neglected the most important point, that is, every inscriber needs a solid engraver, otherwise, how can they perfectly draw Magic pattern circle? I didn't expect it to be like this..."

I asked the orc kid on the side: "Is he always like this? Are you with him?"

"My grandma believed that he could make me a magician, so she told me to stay with him before participating in the magic awakening ceremony!" The orc child sighed, looking helpless.Obviously, this self-proclaimed artist of the water magician always falls into his own space from time to time.

In fact, the shock in my heart at this moment is like a volcano erupting, but I tried my best to restrain the excitement in my heart. According to the conditions mentioned by the middle-aged magician, the awakening ceremony is equivalent to Half a foot stepped into the gate of the magician.Whether it's my body's magical carrying capacity or my own magical affinity, I've far surpassed ordinary children by a few blocks.But now, I feel that besides pretending to be stupid, doing other superfluous things is definitely killing myself. I don’t want this magic lunatic to see that I am any different, otherwise if I become the one on his test bench Rat, that would be terrible.

In fact, what I'm really interested in is actually the water magician's skill 'Walking on Water', and I want to learn it.So I told the middle-aged magician about my experience and understanding of carving, but it was all about carving radish flowers. Sure enough, at the end, when I asked to watch his 'Walking on Water' magic skill When reading the book, the middle-aged magician directly took out a magic scroll from his magic pocket, and told me that this scroll described how to use this magic skill, but he finally said to me: "Awakened Magic pool, after becoming a magician, if you want to learn this magic skill, you must prepare well, because this magic skill is not a general magic skill, and it is very difficult to master!"

After the middle-aged magician gave me this magic scroll, he couldn't wait to open a space rift, pulled the little orc boy, and walked into the space-time rift very naturally, and chattered endlessly while walking: " I think the teacher has been stuck at the bottleneck of the intermediate inscriber, stagnant because the carving skills are not solid, Li, you think if I tell the teacher directly like this, throw me into the Benma River?"

"You have to ask my grandma, how do I know?" the orc boy said in broken orc language.

"You are the teacher's most beloved son! How could you not know?" The last trousers of the middle-aged magician stepped into the crack in space. closed.

The two people just disappeared in front of me, leaving only the ice wall that was about to melt, and the exquisite relief of the fish lake scenery on it had melted beyond recognition. Cracks in time and space, how much affinity for space magic elements is needed to cross time and space so easily?

It turned out that the middle-aged magician whom I had always despised was actually what he said. I was lucky to meet him at the Magic Awakening Ceremony!

I am such a special child who was born with the gift of magic perception, but because of a burnt fruit, I was burned by fire poison for a long time, and my body slowly developed resistance to the magic power of the fire element. Because of this, my body Only then can some fire element magic power be stored in it.It was at this time that I learned 'anti-magic'. This seemingly useless magic was actually the biggest turning point for me.The body constantly possesses magic resistance, so each node in the body also begins to have magic resistance, which can store magic power. In this process, my body subtly becomes a magic container, but those many Like a starry node, there is really not much mana that can be stored.After having magic perception and magic power, I slowly manipulate these magic powers, and my own magic affinity is slowly improving.

Just like this, I stood silently on the shore of the lake, and kept flipping through the magic scroll in my hand before it got dark.

The entire sheepskin scroll is written in the ancient orc language. This is actually the magic skill of an orc shaman. Fortunately, it is a low-level skill. I can barely learn it. Probably the middle-aged magician would not have thought that I could Understand the ancient orc language.

Orc shamans and witch doctors themselves are half-war and half-law. They have strong mental power, but their magic power is average. They also have powerful power, but their agility and physique are inferior to orc warriors. However, these orc shamans are fighting Some magic skills are also used in the game.Therefore, the magic skills learned by the orc witch doctor can be cast without consuming too much magic power. The 'Walking on Water' itself is an auxiliary skill. Maybe only idlers like middle-aged magicians are interested in it. Learn such unorthodox magic skills!But he is a human magician. How did he learn the magic of the orc tribe? This makes me very puzzled!

I used the pure water elemental power in the spiritual sea again, a bolt of lightning shot out from my body, and penetrated into the ground under my feet, and the purest water elemental power was like condensed ice Yanzhihuo, following my fingertips to draw a beautiful magic circle, a light blue water elemental breath surrounds my body, and there is a water elemental aura under my feet constantly Diffusion outward, and then I experimented with stretching out my feet, taking the first step toward the lake.

A strange thing happened. I actually stood on the water surface of the fish lake just like the middle-aged magician did before. Those shallow waves separated from the sides of my shoes, and I couldn’t even move my shoes. Get wet, and the magic power consumed by this magic skill is not high, even if it is cast twenty times in a row, the magic power in my body will not be exhausted. The 'heating' magic gave me a very strong endurance. Although I can't store much mana in my body, the speed of recovering mana at 290% combined with the 'magic recovery' of the blue crystal stone drum, should be Enough for me to cast spells continuously.

A bold decision was made in my heart at this moment. I want to return to the battlefield on the other side of the lake to rescue those human warriors trapped by the lake. Maybe tonight will be the only last chance.

The setting sun has been submerged in the gray-black mountains, and in the mist on the surface of Yuhu Lake, there is a shadow running desperately. I am adjusting my breathing rhythm to make my running very regular, even on the surface of the lake. The waves are very big, but where I pass, those water waves part naturally, and I run forward desperately...
