my age of magic

Chapter 7 7. Magic Perception
I finally know what old Kuru said about the significance of vermicelli to the orc tribe, and it may slightly change the lives of some poor orc tribes.

Of course, the old Kuru thought of many other ways to improve the lives of the orcs.

For example, the hemostatic powder that can be collected and ground from the emperor's blood grass as the main ingredient, or the bone knife made from the ribs of the Gale Demon Wolf, these unique things on the Pai Plateau have rarely been noticed before, although these are things that the orcs have thousands of years ago. A tradition that has continued for hundreds of years.

Few orcs have thought that these things can be sold to outsiders besides their own use, and they can be exchanged for exquisite jade combs or glass mirrors.

Over the years, the old Kuru has found many methods, but whether it is herbs or monsters, these things are very valuable in themselves, even if they are not rare, the quantity is limited, far less than the sweet potatoes in the mountains and plains.

Even if sweet potato is given to human business groups for free, no one will want it. In the human kingdom, this food is also eaten by slaves or used for retting, but if it is turned into vermicelli and provided with a method of how to make delicious dishes, Maybe this is the way out.

It rained icy cold at night, and the water droplets that formed ice crystals rustled softly on the cowhide tent.Several bonfires in the camp outside were extinguished, and the people in the business group dispersed and prepared to rest. I heard old Kuru talking about the orcs, and it was already late at night before I knew it.

Kurtz was lying on the warm cowhide mattress, sleeping soundly. Maybe he was really tired during the day and snored.Old Kuru saw that it was not too early, so he put away the magic cover. At the moment when the magic cover disappeared, my body strangely felt the mysterious blue lines emerging, and time stood still. The lines turned into dots of starlight and dispersed like the night sky. I knew it was the power of magic.

Seeing my abnormal expression, the old Kuru asked with some concern: "What's the matter, kid? What do you feel?"

"Just like before, I saw some blue lines condense in front of you into a strange and complicated pattern, and just now I saw those lines dissipate, it's hard to describe." I tried hard to express it clearly, but I didn't know how to express it, The orc language itself is not very rich in phrases, so I stuttered a bit when I encountered such an indescribable situation.

Old Kuru's cloudy eyes seemed to become very bright all of a sudden, and his eyes also became very sharp. In the dark night, it was like two lights scanning my body back and forth, and he said in an urgent and hoarse tone: "Can you Can you see those magic symbols?"

I was stunned and nodded subconsciously.I know I'm as stupid as a chicken looking like this, but old Kuru's gaffe scares the hell out of me.

He hastily drew another hexagonal magic circle in the air in front of him. At this moment, a strange feeling came one after another. I felt that the flow of time at this moment slowed down. My body was imprisoned at this moment, and I But you can clearly see the red magic lines flowing from the tip of the old Kuru's right index finger, and continue to draw a series of mysterious symbols in the center of the six-pointed star symbol.

When the magic circle was finally completed, a scorching fire wave condensed from the old Kuru's body and ran straight into the night.The dark red fire waves crackled in the air. This early spring night was originally very cold, but the fire waves rushed into the night in the distance. It felt like wearing a down jacket and flying to Sanya in winter. , The moment I got off the plane, the heat wave wrapped my body.

The fire poison brought by the burnt fruit in my body exploded all of a sudden, and I was like a patient with burns all over my body.

There was that scorching pain in every flesh and blood place on the whole body, the pain was piercing to the bone.I was like a roasted red shrimp, "Oh!" The pain made me let out a dull roar.

"There is such a sharp perception, hey!" Old Kuru was also frightened, and quickly drew a light blue magic circle again, and the blue light spot surrounded me in an instant, making a subtle wind chime, the bell Graceful and hasty, connected into a line.My body became cool all of a sudden, and the burning pain on my body was relieved immediately.

After a while, I sat on the leather mattress and tried to calm my breathing. Kurz next to me was still sleeping like a dead dog, perhaps because the camp had warmed up, and his sleeping face had a look of ease.I began to listen carefully to the old Kuru's reasons for his surprise.

The composition of each magic can only be released by the perfect combination of the mana in the body, the drawn magic circle and the chanted spell.

People with magical power in their bodies are not all magicians, this is just one of the necessary factors to become a magician.The magic array drawn by each magic skill is different, the more complex the magic array is, the stronger the magic power will be.

All mainstream magic in the world at present is the "Magic and Time Relativity" created by His Majesty Augustus 2000 years ago.

It is because of this talented magician from ancient times and today that the originally extremely mysterious magic has flourished, and countless magicians have continued to use this theory since then.

In fact, the theory of relativity between magic and time says: before each magician releases magic, he can actually apply a time-stopping skill to himself, and how long this skill lasts depends on the level of the magician himself.

This time stop will not affect other surrounding people, it only affects the magician himself.

At the moment when magic skills are released, the magic energy in the body first draws a basic magic circle along the meridians of the body. At this moment time is stopped relative to the magician himself.

In this state where time stops, the magician needs to quickly use magic power to draw various magic circles, and form different types of magic skills with spells.

In this way, the magic circle drawn and spells issued within 0 seconds increased the success rate of magic release to more than 80%.If it is a simple low-level magic, it can even be instant.

Before this set of theories came out, magicians would spend a lot of time thinking about the issue of "Fitness between the magic circle and the spell".

Many magicians can only use a few magic skills proficiently throughout their lives. The more they know, the less time they need to practice. Once the magic circle drawn within a period of time fits too poorly with the spells uttered, then The magic will fail.

Until later, Emperor Ogula discovered the connection between magic and time. The first magic that all human magicians need to learn in their lives is the basic version of "time stagnation". This magic skill can only make the magician stop in time. In the state of maintaining 1-9 seconds, of course, the higher the level of the Master, the longer the maintenance time.

The magic circle completed in this time-stopped state and the spell chanted are 100% consistent.

After the genius magicians stopped worrying about the failure of magic release, they began to study the magic skill of "time stagnation". Later, some people used the meridians of the body to guide the flow of mana, forming the magic-specific structure of "time stagnation".

The old Kuru released the magic shield at night, which also blessed himself with a "time stagnation" for 2 seconds. It stands to reason that no one should be able to see the scene of the old Kuru drawing a magic circle in front of him. me too.In fact, I didn't see the old Kuru drawing the magic circle, but I sensed the changes in the surrounding magic elements and the formation of the magic circle.

"I think it should be 'magic perception'!" Old Kuru said with certainty. "Every magician has the opportunity to awaken their own talent skills when they awaken their magic, such as magic precision, magic perception, mana concealment, mana recovery, magic backflow, fast casting, various elemental affinity, etc.

This talent will bring many benefits, the most intuitive is that it will be more powerful than ordinary magicians.

I think that if you participate in the awakening ceremony, then the talent of 'magic power perception' will appear very likely.

Because you can now accurately feel the turbulence of the magic elements around your body, but unfortunately the awakening ceremony of the orcs is not suitable for you. You have to return to the human world and participate in your own awakening ceremony.

Before that, all I can help you is lay a solid foundation.Giga, you may be born to be a magician. "

I rolled my eyes, my ears were about to twitch when I heard this sentence.

Seeing me impatient, old Kuru slowly shook his head and said: "I have read a lot of books about 'magic resistance' recently, and the human race also has a similar skill 'magic defense'. Speaking of which, the magic core of orcs is called It is the magic nucleus, formed in the brain.

When we orc mages practiced, the magic core generated by the limbs and bones gathered in the brain.

The magic core of the elves is in the chest, and their magic power is the magic tide generated with the beating of the heart. The magic tide spreads to all parts of the body centered on the heart, and the magic power spreads throughout the body.

The magic core of a human magician is in the lower abdomen. After each human magician awakens, a magic pool will be formed in the lower abdomen. The body, limbs, and bones will generate magic power and gather in the magic pool, and then radiate from the magic pool to all parts of the body in a cycle.

The way humans gather magic power is somewhat similar to orcs, and somewhat similar to elves.So I thought you might learn some of our orc magic..."

"But teacher, I haven't even participated in the magic ceremony, I haven't awakened, I don't even have the most basic mana, how can I learn magic skills, and it's still an orc?" I complained a little about the old Kuru's whimsy, although He is solving problems for me, but I don't even have the most basic ones, so how can I talk about the future?
"Uh, actually, how should I put it! Let me think about it carefully." Old Kuru sometimes couldn't explain it, so he thought for a long time in silence, worked hard to organize his words, and then said to me: "If you are an ordinary Human child, then you will only experience the magic power circulating in your body after awakening.

It’s just that some small accidents happened before. After you accidentally ate the burnt fruit, the fire poison is actually the magic power of the fire attribute. They are formed in the limbs and bones of your body, but you happen to have no magic core or magic pool in your body. The magic cannot be gathered together, it can only stay in your body.

Then the magic power accumulated over time starts to burn your body. "

"You mean that as long as I successfully participate in the awakening ceremony, I can get rid of this damn fire poison?" I finally have a little hope, or the pursuit of coming to this world, maybe becoming a magician is the top priority.

"That's right!" Old Kuru said calmly: "But before that, I also thought of a solution for you.

That is, your limbs and bones can produce magic power, but they cannot gather into the magic pool, so it means that before you awaken to form the magic pool, you have a chance to learn the magic of our orc race.

Although the magic power you generate is very weak, anti-magic is not a powerful spell. Maybe you can learn the lowest level of anti-magic, so that you can basically get rid of the trouble of fire poison.

In fact, I still don't recommend you to learn anti-magic too early. If you maintain the current state, it will enhance your own fire resistance. Resistance is not something that can be obtained through practice, it needs opportunities.

This will be of great help to your future development..."

The old Kurubala talked a lot, and finally I understood that learning anti-magic can make fire poison, and I have a special constitution, so I can learn it.What are you waiting for?The damn fire poison will turn me into braised prawns sooner or later.

I suddenly thought of what Kuruzi said to me during the day. Old Kuru wanted to use those guinea pig skins to sew me a warm and waterproof sleeping bag. I said I didn't need it, but he said I would definitely need it.

"Son, you helped me find food that is of great significance to the orcs. Maybe I can buy them to those foreign merchants in the not-too-distant future, and maybe Pailes will also be interested in buying some back, haha , This idea is wonderful. I hope this secret is only between me, you and Kurz, can you understand?" Old Kuru finally talked about the vermicelli I made and how to deal with the vermicelli.

I think you just want me to spread the word, how dare I.

I gave a big bowl to more than 200 people in the entire caravan. They are definitely laughing and reminiscing about today’s deliciousness in their dreams, but if they know that the vermicelli is made of those damn sweet potatoes, they have to chop me into pieces and throw them in. Not in the lake.

"Teacher, I definitely won't say it! I understand." I had to make myself more mature.

Old Kuru nodded with satisfaction and said: "The creed of the orcs pays attention to repaying favors. As my return, I think about it. We can learn the art of leathermaking and skinning from Fred."

I thought he could give me a few gold coins, but he didn't mention it.But in order to learn the family skills of Uncle Fred, I brushed countless leather saddle covers for him.

"There is a shield warrior Sion in the adventure group who owes me a favor. Maybe you can learn something from him, preferably the ability to save your life. Oh, I remember I also helped a ranger heal his leg Injury, for an elf ranger, survival in the wild will be his natural ability, I hope you can learn it."

After the old Kuru finished speaking, he looked up at the Pai Plateau in the south. Under the night, the mountains were hidden.

He sighed and said: "This trip will be the last time I get out of the orc tribe. In the next few days, I will select some orc children, hoping to find potential among them. So this trip to the Pai Plateau It will be my end, and you, my child, that will be our parting time, you will return to the human kingdom with the caravan, you will try to integrate into their society, you will survive in a small town, Knowing that you can participate in the Magical Awakening Ritual and become a Sorcerer's Apprentice, you will have a new life."

"Ah, teacher, don't abandon me!" I suddenly felt a little scared, and I was a little afraid of the future, after all, I was so young.

"I will ask Pailes to take care of you. It is not good for you to grow up if you stay in the orc tribe. Our fighting skills and magic skills are not suitable for human children, so you have to find your new life. Here Before, I will work hard for you to learn some survival skills, and you must also learn to protect yourself. Before participating in the awakening ceremony, do not show your unique abilities to outsiders, which will put you in danger. In some evil In the eyes of all magicians, you will be a good furnace." Old Kuru's warning echoed repeatedly in my ears.
