Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 173 Influence

   "So what's your decision, Junior Colin." Lillian asked.

   Her expression was calm, and she was ready to accept Colin's decision to change her mentor.

  Colin joined Atebold's team for only four months... It would be strange if he chose to stay.

   After all, put yourself in the shoes of oneself, staying means losing the possibility of improving the quality of talent, and losing some resources in the future... Who wants to take the risk of affecting the future and stay?

   Looking at Colin's silent face, Lilian sighed in her heart and continued to add:

   "Brother Colin, you don't need to be mentally burdened. Water flows down and people go up. This is just the most common thing in the world."

   Colin was slightly startled, he was just glad he didn't participate in the Atius meeting, he was a little distracted.

   "Sister Lilian." He said quickly, "I don't plan to change my tutor, I will continue to stay."

   This time it was Lillian's turn to be stunned, her jewel-like blue eyes slightly enlarged.

After   , she smiled comfortably, and then continued to console her:

   "Brother Colin, don't force yourself... The tutor will also understand your choice."

"Sister Lilian, you misunderstood, I just don't like fighting." Colin shook his head and continued, "The Atis Society, even if you participate, you may not be able to use Atis in the end... ...As for resources, there are no tutors anywhere else to relax here."

   "Junior Colin, are you serious?" Lilian said in disbelief after hearing this.

   "It's true, I really have no idea of ​​changing mentors." Colin nodded and said solemnly.

  Lilian was stunned for a moment, and then tried to persuade a few words.

   Seeing that Colin really had no idea of ​​changing mentors, he stopped.

   "I will find a way to get you the best potion for cultivating the seeds of talent."

   After pondering for a while, Lillian stared at Colin and said solemnly.

   "Although I can't get you the qualification to participate in the Atis Society, but I can get you the best potion for cultivating the seeds of talent... I don't think there will be any problem."

  Since Colin chose to stay, no matter what the reason is, the importance of Colin in her heart has been raised.

   Colin was slightly overjoyed, and quickly thanked:

   "Thank you Lilian-senpai."

Although the   gold paper can give him an effect similar to Atis, it still lacks the best potion for cultivating the seeds of talent compared to the apprentices who joined the Atis Society.

   If Lillian can find him the best potion to cultivate the seeds of talent, then it is really no different from participating in the Atis Society and having the last laugh.

"Well." Lillian nodded, then instructed, "During this period of time, you should study the knowledge you already have as thoroughly as possible... Just don't learn new knowledge for the time being, and wait until you can't advance. At that time, you can start cultivating the seeds of talent.”

   "I see." Colin nodded.

   Next, Lillian greeted him for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

   After saying goodbye to Lillian, Colin stood in the courtyard, thinking quietly.

  The vegetation is green and the flowers and fruits are colorful.

  Under the control of Nadu, the landscape in front of him appeared to be well-organized and exquisite.

  The breeze blows and swaying.

   "Call—"

   Colin let out a soft breath and stepped into the meditation room.

   Pushing open the thick gray iron-clad wooden door, he came to sit down on the cushion in the middle of the meditation room, and then with a thought, he exhaled the golden paper.

   Pale golden particles slowly converged.

  【Name: Colin Leonard】

  [Level: Senior Wizard Apprentice (100/100); Ultimate Knight (100/100)]

  【Meditation: Tin Ring Meditation (1/100)】

  【Talent: Strong Life I (4/100)】

  [Breakpoint: 0]

  Sweeping carefully from top to bottom, Colin closed his eyes slightly.

   In the past few months, due to the time spent on meditation and other practices, there has not been much improvement in witchcraft.

  As Lillian said, what he needs to do most now is to cultivate meditation and sorcery that have not reached the limit to the limit.

   opened his eyes, and when Colin thought about it, he was about to start practicing witchcraft directly.

   But in the next second, the surging magic power gradually stopped.

   His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking of something, but instead of continuing to practice sorcery, he slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

   It is important to complete the witchcraft practice, but before that, he may need to carefully and deeply understand the seeds of talent.

   Since whether one’s own knowledge of witchcraft is thoroughly mastered will affect the quality of the talent seeds, then—

   Does the amount and type of witchcraft knowledge you master also affect the quality of the talent seeds you cultivate?

   With such a question, Colin went out and called a stagecoach and headed for the school.

  Tap Tapping——

   A tall galloping horse with the blood of a demon beast galloped on the wide road with a gray carriage, and after a while, he arrived at the Xisheng School.

   After getting off the carriage, Colin followed the main road in the school and went all the way to the very center of a dome-topped gray-white castle.

  This is one of the most heavily guarded places in the entire school——

   Tin Saint Library!

After    and Lilian finished talking, it was almost afternoon.

   Without Lilian's leadership, he couldn't go to ask for information about Atebold's talent seeds.

   So he planned to go to the school's castle library to find out in advance, and then go to ask Artbold carefully tomorrow morning.

   Of course, in his current capacity, he did not hope to find very useful information... But there is nothing wrong with learning more, the right should be to increase knowledge.

   Continuing to move forward, Colin passed the inspections with ease, and finally, stepped into the area on the first floor of the library...and the only area he could enter.

   On the high pale yellow ceiling, countless bright crystals the size of ping-pong **** are emitting a soft white light.

   Under the white light, there are neat and heavy brown-red bookshelves, densely arranged, extending to the end of the line of sight. The translucent protective witch formations above are exuding faint white fluorescent light.

   Between the bookshelves, many apprentices are walking slowly through it, carefully rummaging for books...

   'The first floor of this ancient book castle is much bigger than when you look outside...' Colin pondered to himself, 'Maybe there is a spatial transformation in it. ’

  It is worth mentioning that most of the books on the brown bookshelf are stored in the form of crystal copies, and only a few magic books are still placed outside in their original form.

   Stepping to the square short pillars standing next to the front desk, Colin stretched out his arm and touched the transparent crystal ball the size of a baby's head fixed on the short pillars.

  The information of all the books on the first floor of the Book Castle is stored in the crystal ball. You can check whether they have been borrowed and where they are.

   Talent Seeds... Talent Quality... Cultivating Talent Seeds... Mastery of Witchcraft...

  Colin sifted through the keywords one by one.

   After a while, he took a wooden tray for crystals and books from the front desk, and walked to the bookshelf.

  According to the information just checked, he spent more than ten minutes wandering among the bookshelves, and took down a dozen crystals and four or five thick physical magic books.

   These are all the books on the first floor of the entire castle library that may record the influence of witchcraft on the cultivation of talent seeds.

   Holding a wooden tray with books, Colin found a corner and sat down and started to read.

  Like the library on Earth, the ancient castle library of the Xisheng School is also very quiet, not only there is no voice, but even the sound of wizards walking... can't hear.

   Such quietness is mainly due to the constant silenced witch formation in the entire castle library.

   is different from the silent magic circle, or the soundproof magic circle.

  Sound suppression magic array does not completely eliminate the sound, but suppresses the distance that the sound travels.

   Benefited from the study of silence... Colin has a little understanding of the principle behind it.

   To put it simply, it accelerates the decay rate of sound wave energy and makes it travel shorter... Those slight noises may be inaudible even if they are one meter away.

   He quickly flipped through the books he fetched on his seat.

   At the reading speed of his current senior wizard apprentice, the first book was quickly read by him.

  The outer shell of the first book is thick brown cowhide leather, which is more than ten centimeters thick, but the content of the seed of talent is only mentioned in the middle pages, and it is unclear, and it has been mentioned...

With a    sigh, Colin moved on to the next book.

  The sound of rustling the book keeps ringing...

   After a long time, the sound turned into the clack of crystals.

   That's it, I don't know how long it took.

  Colin reached out to the wooden tray again, but suddenly found that there were no unread book crystals in it.

   exhaled a long breath, and Colin pressed his temples.

   These books are not much useful, but after reading them carefully, they still opened his eyes.

  Especially about the precautions for cultivating talent seeds and taking potions, as well as the choice of some small details, he benefited a lot.

   This knowledge is not something you can buy outside.

   Thinking about the knowledge of advanced formal wizards he bought on Bananka Island, now it seems that the above contents are all vague,

   is like describing a person who only told you that you have facial features, a head, two arms and two legs... It's not wrong to be wrong, but there are really not too many useful things.

   got up and returned the borrowed physical books and book crystals, and Colin left the castle library.

   Walking out of the door, it was already night outside, the sky was pitch black, and only a bright moon hung above it.

  'Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find much information about the type and amount of knowledge mastered, and whether it also affects the quality of talent seeds. ' He sighed softly in his heart.

  *

  *

  *

   The next day.

   Atbold Residence.

  The study on the second floor of the villa.

   "Will the type or amount of knowledge mastered affect the quality of the talent seeds cultivated, and will it affect the type and quality of future talents?"

   In front of the familiar force field floor-to-ceiling windows, Atbold sat on the reclining chair and repeated Colin's question.

   "Yes." Colin nodded and added with some doubts:

   "Teacher Atbold, if the knowledge you learn will affect the quality of your talents, wouldn't it mean that the more knowledge you learn, the worse the quality of talents you cultivate when you advance to a formal wizard?"

   "It's not like that." Atbold shook his head, denying his guess.

   "To answer this question, you first need to understand a concept-purity."

   "Purity?" Colin wondered, looking at Atbold inquiringly.

   "Yes, purity, if the learned knowledge, the part that has not been fully grasped, is regarded as the dirty part, then there is the concept of purity."

   "The more parts of knowledge that are not thoroughly mastered, the more dirty parts are, which means the lower the purity."

   Thoughts flashed like lightning, Colin suddenly realized, and preemptively speculated:

   "I understand the mentor, the lower the purity, the more it affects the quality of talent.

   But purity is actually not strongly related to the amount of knowledge learned. "

"The more knowledge you learn, it doesn't mean the purity is lower... Purity is only related to the degree of thorough mastery. No matter how much knowledge you learn, as long as the degree of thorough mastery is high, the purity will be high, and it will not affect too much. quality of talent."

   Atbold nodded and agreed:

   "There is no problem with your understanding, it is indeed the case."

   "What affects the quality of talent is not the amount of knowledge that you have learned that you have not fully mastered, but the ratio."

   "No matter how much knowledge you learn, as long as the proportion of the parts that are not thoroughly mastered remains the same, the impact on talent will not change."

  Colin nodded, wondering how many times he was fortunate to have joined the school.

   Every time he came to ask Artbold questions, he had a feeling that listening to your words was better than reading ten years of books...

   "Teacher Atbold, will the type of knowledge you master affect the type of talent you get after you advance?"

   He retracted his thoughts and continued to ask.

   "It won't work either." Atbold shook his head and explained briefly:

   "The so-called talent is a natural talent."

   "In terms of quality, talent may be weakened by acquired influences, but in terms of type effects, it will not be affected too much by acquired influences."

   Having said this, Artbold paused and added:

   "Maybe the only thing that can slightly affect the effect of the talent type is the meditation method used during breakthrough... Advanced meditation method opens up the spiritual sea and strengthens the soul."

   "And when the soul changes, the natural talent will also change... The rest are like witchcraft, as long as the soul is not involved, it will basically not have much impact on the types of talents that follow."

   "But it is worth noting that, in fact, the soul is something that is very difficult to change. Even advanced meditation methods only change the surface slightly."

After   , Atbold made another vivid metaphor.

"You can understand it this way, if talent is a fruit, there are countless reasons that can cause it to turn into a rotten fruit, but it is difficult to make it change from an apple to a pear... So it can affect the quality of talent, but it can affect the quality of talent. Kind of effect, but it's more difficult."

   "Understood." Colin nodded, his doubts swept away.

   "Thank you, Master Atbold."

   He looked at Atbold's old face, and his heart became more and more respectful.

   The update will start tomorrow! !
