Chapter 1068 The bottleneck of the epic

ten minutes later
Game time PM13:41
Inner Ring District of Academy City, the top floor of [Stars] high-end hotel chain, the living room of suite zero
Ms. Diana A. Archizolti sat in the middle of the sofa in a complicated manner without saying a word, trying very hard to put on a very serious, serious and dignified appearance, but because she was born since she was born He failed embarrassingly without making the above-mentioned expressions...

To put it simply, not only is there no majesty at all, but the appearance of biting his lower lip, hesitating to speak, blushing, and slightly erect eyebrows can be said to be cute.

It was also because of this that Futaba, who was ordered to sit opposite Diana, not only didn't run up and down like a deer, but instead looked indifferent, showing no introspection at all.

As for Frank Hughes, who was sitting next to Diana as a 'juror', he had a harmless smile on his face and looked at his lover with gentle eyes, full of pampering.

"Futaba, you...be more serious!"

Diana saw that the other party was not intimidated by her non-existent 'aura' at all, and finally broke the silence angrily, patted her knee hard (and let out an 'ouch' in pain), and said sternly : "Today I must educate you for Ana! You... Well, you are so disobedient!"

Futaba blinked her big watery eyes in a fluttering manner: "Why am I disobedient?"

"Stayed in the thirty-first section of the library for a whole morning!"

Diana patted the table hard, and said angrily: "You said you were disobedient!"

Futaba tilted her head: "I blew up a hole in the library and sneaked in?"

Diana: "..."

Futaba tapped her lower lip, "Did I see you and Frank having sex in District [-]?"

"Live erotic palace?"

Diana and Mo Tan blinked their eyes curiously at the same time. Obviously, although the Continent of Innocence has never lacked certain aspects of 'books', some of the words that Futaba casually uttered are still quite different for the couple in front of them. Incomprehensible, of course, the incomprehensible on the part of Frank Hughes needs to be put in quotation marks.

"Ah... the generation gap is really annoying."

Futaba, whose rhythm was interrupted, curled her lips. After being silent for a while, she finally decided not to continue the comparison, but said straight to the point: "In short, the one who gave me the library pass was you, Diana, right?"

Diana nodded reluctantly: "Yes."

"How many areas does this permission include, Diana, do you remember?"

Futaba raised her chin slightly and continued to ask questions.

"The... first district to the thirty-fifth district."

Diana's momentum visibly weakened, she lowered her head and muttered softly.

"Then the question is, does the area from the first to the thirty-fifth include the thirty-first district?"

Not giving the other party any room to breathe, Futaba asked again.

"Well……"

"Did you ever say that I'm not allowed to go to District [-]?"

"This……"

"Did Ana ever say that I would not be allowed to enter District [-]?"

"she……"

"Okay, I know I was wrong. I was wrong this time. If I have the chance to do it again, I will definitely be wrong next time. So Diana, please forgive me."

"Eh?!"

Facing Futaba who honestly admitted her mistake after gaining the upper hand, Diana's eyes widened.

"Sophistry is sophistry~"

The girl shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and said lazily on the coffee table: "But it is an indisputable fact that I ignored the persuasion of you, Ana, and Uncle Kenneth to study epic-level magic. Not only does Pindao not admit this, but it even puts the pot on your head."

Mo Tan couldn't help chuckling, and then secretly squeezed Diana's palm: "That's what she said, isn't it quite sensible."

"Hmm! I know I know... Frank, don't mess with me."

Diana pinched Mo Tan lightly, then sighed deeply, and after organizing her words for a while, she turned to Futaba, who was already lying on the table in front of her, and asked with a helpless expression: "You This girl, have you ever wondered why Ana and I don't let you dabble in more advanced magic knowledge?"

Futaba said without thinking, "Because you are afraid that I, a beautiful talented girl, will easily overtake you because you are too powerful...It can't be this kind of reason, right?"

"Of course it's impossible! How stingy do you think of me and Ana!"

Diana wrinkled her nose and asked again: "Then let me ask this question differently. Today, you violated our previous instructions and went to the thirty-first floor of that library to study the knowledge of the epic field for a whole morning. What is the result? ? Is there any gain?"

Futaba buried her small face in the crook of her arms, and complained moaningly: "I got a hammer... I don't understand what kind of mess it is. It's so smooth when learning high-level magic. As a result, when I was struggling with those things just now... Meow, I was stunned to fail to understand any paragraph in any book!"

"It's normal for you not to understand."

Diana folded her legs gracefully, folded her arms and said to Futaba calmly, "If you can understand, we won't stop you from studying those things."

Futaba immediately raised her head unconvinced, and said angrily: "It's normal for me not to understand! Why are you so sure that I definitely can't understand! Why do I really not understand? !"

"Because you're so good, Futaba."

Although the content seemed to be a compliment, Diana's expression was very serious when she said this, she pursed her lips a little anxiously, then took a sip of the warm water Mo Tan handed over from the side, After a long silence, he continued: "Whether it is in the eyes of me, Ana or brother Kenneth, you are a bit too good, especially when it comes to the concept of 'magic' and the various things related to it. field."

Futaba straightened up lazily, and said weakly: "So? The more excellent a person is, the easier it is to be condemned by God? For example, it is difficult to step into the epic threshold?"

"real or fake?!"

Mo Tan was taken aback, and immediately turned to look at Diana.

"Normally, it's definitely not!"

Diana, who was leaning on the opponent's shoulder, pouted, and said softly: "Don't say it's a mage, whether it's astrology, divine arts, knights, thieves, warlocks, rangers, etc. People with higher talents can break through the bottleneck faster than others, whether it is from high-level to epic, or from epic to legend."

Futaba smiled dryly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then what am I? The general situation?"

"Futaba, can't you be a little more self-conscious..."

Diana looked helplessly at her 'half apprentice' whose face was full of dissatisfaction. In the end, she couldn't hold back. She left Mo Tan's shoulder and leaned over to flick Futaba's forehead: "Although we When we met for the first time, you almost broke through the half-step high-level bottleneck, but according to Ana, you were still a crappy low-level mage half a year ago."

Futaba squinted her eyes and said angrily, "The word 'crazy' is redundant."

"As a mage of the whole series, your level at that time was indeed a bit lame in Ana's eyes, but also according to what she said, that period of time didn't last long, and soon, you seemed to be a different person. The control of one's own magic power, or the drive of external elements, has become like a finger."

Diana looked at Futaba very seriously, and said in a deep voice: "It was not long after that that Ana officially accepted you as an apprentice, and she mentioned it when she wrote to me."

Futaba twitched the corner of her mouth, and asked without emotion: "Oh, and then?"

Diana shrugged, raised her forehead and said, "Then? Then, half a month ago, brother Kenneth and I observed that you have stabilized at the peak of the high-level, and even if you face most half-step epics Will fall into the realm of the downwind, remember? The dinner that day was extraordinarily rich."

"In less than a year, I was promoted from the elementary level to the high-level peak..."

Mo Tan rubbed his chin, and muttered in a low voice: "And in actual combat, it is not even weaker than the usual half-step epic. It's not that I haven't seen this kind of story, and it's not that I haven't made it up. The only thing I didn't expect is This kind of thing can happen in reality.”

Futaba curled her lips and hummed softly, "Rare is more strange."

"Frank is not uncommon. In fact, even I didn't believe that you advanced from beginner to intermediate in less than two months."

Diana picked up the cup and took another sip of water, and said with a strange expression: "Until I witnessed with my own eyes that you have changed from intermediate level to current level in just a few months."

Futaba finally suppressed that absent-minded expression, sat up straight reluctantly, and said with wandering eyes: "I... have a special reason, Diana, you should know it? No matter how dull you are You should be able to guess a little bit, right? Uncle Kenneth must have sneaked into me a long time ago, right? The [Sage of Tuning] came here this time to study this matter with other forces, right?"

Diana took a deep look at Futaba, after all, she didn't say anything more in front of Frank Hughes, a 'local', but nodded silently.

Apparently, Futaba never felt that his identity as a player could be hidden from Diana and the others. She will never be unaware of any clues, not to mention that she is one of the three greatest astrologers in the entire continent. There is really no reason why she hasn't found any problems after getting along for so long.

As for the [Sage of the Brummoon] Kenneth A. Archizolti, Futaba was really not sure to hide it from him, because one of the members of the Council of Truth was the complete opposite of his cousin, a thoughtful and almost Because of the terrifying man, even if Futaba was confident that he didn't reveal any flaws during his temporary stay in the Kishua Spirit Tower, he still felt that the big man had definitely grasped the concept of "outsider". Now, as long as he thinks about his resume a little, he will probably be able to see some clues.

"Okay, let's not talk about those trivial things."

Diana breathed a sigh of relief, changed the topic somewhat abruptly, and said to Futaba seriously: "It's because your progress is too fast, so your foundation is really not solid. Under this premise, half a step The field before the epic is okay, but once you get involved in a higher level of power, you will fall into a serious bottleneck because the foundation cannot keep up with the promotion, and this kind of bottleneck is that most people advance step by step and step by step. It is very difficult to meet people who have reached the peak of the high level."

Futaba flattened her mouth with some resentment: "I think my foundation is very solid, Diana, think about it, not to mention basic elemental magic like those of wind, fire, water, thunder and earth, even arcane, space, I also have a complete grasp of light, dark and negative energy spells, and you have read my papers, does this still mean that the foundation is not solid?"

"of course."

Diana nodded without hesitation, and said with burning eyes, "It's the best proof that you didn't get anything in the [-]st district of the library today."

Futaba's shoulders suddenly collapsed, because she really failed to understand the content of the epic level, and she couldn't find any reason to refute Diana.

"As I said just now, Futaba, your talent is amazing."

Diana sighed, and looked at Futaba with some confusion: "It is precisely because of your talent that you can use unimaginable means to 'trick' in many places, which is not a bad thing. But precisely because of this, when you use the same method to understand those more advanced magics, you will fall into a bottleneck that most people are not qualified to fall into, so you understand?"

Futaba answered without hesitation: "I don't understand at all!"

"Well, that's why I said I'm not fit to teach people."

Diana lowered her head in frustration, and after thinking carefully for a while, she raised her index finger and said softly: "Then, let me give you an example, Futaba, do you know Nikachu?"

Having been in the Continent of Innocence for such a long time, Futaba naturally wouldn't be unfamiliar with the kind of ordinary little beasts that were almost flooded, so she nodded vigorously.

"Then, you can understand the low-level fireball technique as Nikachu's ears, the middle-level blizzard as Nikachu's head, the high-level arcane torrent as a complete Nikachu, and you, a A skilled painter."

Diana clapped her hands lightly, and began to ask: "So, can you draw its ears and head on a piece of white paper according to a Nikachu recorded in the spell book? You can follow Does the book completely draw a complete Nikachu?"

Futaba frowned slightly: "If I am indeed a highly skilled painter...Of course I can."

"Of course, you're doing very well at this, but..."

"but?"

"Can you draw Nikachu's skeleton? Do you know the distribution of its organs? Do you know the function of its various organs? Can you grasp its blood flow?"

"Clam?"

"You can't, at least you can't learn this knowledge from Nikachu in the picture book, right?"

"I see...so that's what happened."

"Well, that's what happened."
