The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

Countless ice blades whirled and danced in the atmosphere with a sharp whistling sound, and instantly smashed to Cavendish's side. But at this time, he was still thinking about the mystery of the two extremely pure magical auras on Juss, and he didn't find the murderous intentions close at hand at all.

Oops...Although Euses doesn’t know exactly what moves the Ice Phoenix uses, just looking at the circling and flying ice blades and the sharp whistling sound in his ears can also calculate the damage of this ice storm. The force is by no means unusual.

"Ah..." After habitually opening his mouth to remind the old man who was called the "sage" by the Ice Phoenix mother, Ulysses realized that it was too late. Besides, he was speechless.

"Hiss!" Like a crazy beast with fangs, the crazily whirling ice blade roared with cold killing intent.

At the last moment, when countless ice blades were about to stick to Cavendish like piranhas in blood, a transparent wall with a soft light appeared around him, gently accepting all the incoming attacks. Ice blade.

Just like the fish returning to the sea, those ice blades with terrifying lethal power were absorbed and merged by the wall of water that didn't seem to be very thick.

On the wall of transparent water, there are waves of ripples, like a lake dotted with countless rain when it rains.

There is no magical confrontation that shakes the earth, and there is no explosion that shakes the earth apart. The wall of water, with the softness of inclusiveness, accepted all the small-scale single-attack forbidden spell "Ice Nova" from the Ice Phoenix.

"Nice defense..." The water wall's characteristic of containing all things and softly breaking and killing made the ice phoenix, the ruler of the world of ice and snow, also appreciate it. To achieve this level, it requires more than powerful magic power. Without a deep understanding of the origin of the water element, it is impossible to form such a perfect and soft defense.

Without relying on the power of treasures, and without any preparation, being able to defend against a small forbidden spell attack equivalent to level 8 at will is enough to show how good the defensive ability of the seemingly transparent and soft water wall is. . Moreover, it was not a simple rigid defense, but a flexible defense full of resilience and elasticity, which was more than a level stronger than a tough defense wall that relied on pure magic.

"I'm rude, Lord of the Ice Sea." After being attacked by the Ice Phoenix with an eighth-level forbidden spell level, Cavendish finally recovered from the state of selfless research.

The magic he used to defend against ice phoenix attacks was not a forbidden defensive spell, nor was it supported by any super treasures. It's just the "Water Wall" after improving the simplest "Water Shield" in water magic.

However, under his research, this originally simplest water defense magic has undergone a completely reborn change. With the help of the affinity for water element and the water element's own characteristics of being good at flexible defense, the defensive ability of the wall of water he unfolded has reached an unprecedented level. It is precisely because of the improvement and re-recognition of the water magic foundation that he won the title of "Sage of Water".

It is different from the researchers who blindly pursue the powerful magic of the ancient language magic age. The things he studies are all very basic things. Among the books collected in the ancient language of the magic age, what he values ​​most is the basic magic knowledge.

These basic things have undergone countless generations of research and experiments, and have been used and tested by countless people. By now, it can be said that even if a person has devoted his whole life, he may not be able to improve these foundations.

Because of this, most people begin to ignore these basic things unknowingly. Now, there are fewer and fewer people sinking their hearts to study the basics of magic. This point made Cavendish a little bit regretful.

Unfortunately, this is not something he can change. Even if he won the title of "Sage of Water" by relying on basic research on water magic, not many people would be willing to do boring and slow-moving basic research like him.

In the eyes of the genius magicians who are pursuing the growth rate and power of power, mastering more and more powerful magic as soon as possible is the best way to become stronger. Even if countless sorcerers known as "geniuses" died in the backlash of magic beyond their control, they would not be able to dispel their desire for power.

Only by abandoning everything can it be possible to move forward. Even if you die, you have to challenge your limits without fear. Successful people get everything, and failed people lose everything. This is the common idea of ​​young and arrogant geniuses. For them, the kind of basic research that takes ten or twenty years of research to make progress is really meaningless. They would rather choose to die in a fierce battle than join this kind of boring research.

Although Cavendish felt that if he could not care about the outcome and gains and losses, it would be better if there were more magicians dedicated to research. But he didn't mean to interfere with those passionate young people. After all, this is their own choice. And neither of these two completely different roads is wrong.

Carrying out basic magic research can promote human understanding of magic, thereby making the magic system more perfect, but it may take a lifetime to get no results. Carry out self-training and challenge the limit, you can achieve self-evolution, become a super strong, gain wealth and money. The time required depends on the talent. Comparing these two paths, most young people choose the latter path for granted.

He himself chose the path of a scholar because he had obtained a huge wealth that countless people had never thought of since he was born, and because he had been interested in the source of magic from a very young age, he chose the path of a scholar. Yes, it is a scholar, not a wizard. Until now, he also felt that his main profession was a scholar, and his subsidiary profession was the magician of the water system.

For him, becoming an eighth-level wizard was just a wonderful accident.

After confirming that he had the talent for water magic, he began to study some knowledge related to water magic. During this process, he learned several water magics without knowing it. Of course, those are all very basic magic, that is, the kind of things you can learn from the "Water System Basic Magic Book" that you can buy at any bookstore.

In the process of constantly researching the basics of water magic, he completely mastered those magics unknowingly, and began to use those magics habitually to promote his research, and at the same time, he was accustomed to using magic in his life.

Such as manipulating the water ball formed by water bombs to clean the house; using the water droplets summoned by the basic water element to water the flowers; controlling the water ball to absorb the surrounding dust when walking, are all basic magic applications that he has developed a habit.

Later, the use of basic magic has become a natural thing for him to breathe. He can manipulate the water element naturally without any spells and mana-gathering actions. This has helped him a lot in the process of his research.

Because he had been studying basic magic, and he was from a noble family, he didn't need to take risks, make money or something, he never knew what his strength looked like. This situation did not end until a study of the basic form of the split water element appeared in front of him when a notebook containing all his knowledge of the water element appeared.

He confirmed that he did not have such notes. In other words, there is no such "one" notebook. Because, he started the research on the basics of water magic very early, and the recorded things are full of a bookcase, and the materials used for reference are enough to build a library.

But the notebook that appeared in front of him not only recorded all his research process, but also all the books cited. It looked like a note about the size of an ordinary notebook, but it recorded all he knew about water element magic.

Regarding the problem of the notebook, he studied carefully and carelessly for about a week, and then referenced a few books, and finally asked a few friends of the Wizards Guild, only to be a little surprised to confirm that this is his treasure. Tool.

In other words, he had only practiced basic magic and had no actual combat experience, yet he unknowingly became a seventh-level powerhouse with treasures. And about ten years after that, in a routine study of the gas formed after the decomposition of pure water elements, he inexplicably advanced to the eighth level.

The funny thing is that this incident happened during a walk. He accidentally fell into a state of thought and walked up the wall of the castle along the road, and then walked straight up to the sky before discovering it.

Although he himself didn't care much about the growth of his strength, the fact that he became one of the only eighth-level wizards on the mainland now caused an uproar in the wizards' guild. After confirming his qualifications as an eighth-level wizard, a series of draws, temptations, and invitations flooded in, making him tireless. After reluctantly accepting the elder qualification issued by the Wizards’ Guild, he freely handed over his family’s property to the family’s old butler to take care of, and then began to find a suitable place to hide.

For him, the study of the source of magic is the most important. His own magical power is just a collateral product of his research. He didn't like this kind of inverted cartels because of the incidental items that affected his research itself.

So, he came here, came to this isolated world of ice and snow, and continued his basic research.

And now, the teenager who appeared in front of him, who was almost indistinguishable from humans, happened to be the most mysterious part of his research field-about non-humans' natural use of the source of magic.
