my age of magic

Chapter 53

During the journey, most of the time left is boring time, especially when I can't meditate, even if I cast an anti-magic to consume the remaining fire magic power in my body, I have to hide in the bathroom carefully.Without the parchment scroll full of ancient orc language, and without the small clay oven that never goes out, I feel that my body is rusting. There are some things I always want to ask old Kuru, so on the second day At that time, I finally boarded the long-lost Thunder Rhino and sat on the familiar seat. At this time, I felt that the scenery between heaven and earth suddenly became vivid.Kurz patted me on the shoulder excitedly and wanted to say a lot to me.

Standing on the back of Thunder Rhino which is more than eight meters high, I want to look at the exit of the valley.The exit of the V-shaped valley is tens of kilometers away. I can even see the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau through the valley mouth. The blue sky and the earth are connected there, and there are a few cotton candy-like flowers floating in the blue sky. The same white clouds are so low that you can reach them with your hands.

"You look much better." Old Kuru nodded to me incessantly, and took his hands out of his cuffs and put them on top of my head. I felt a cool feeling pouring into my whole body from the top of my head.He went on to say: "It seems that throwing you into the human group to live is good for your growth. Staying with us for too long, your wildness and your nature are two extremes. They are in your spiritual world. Go against it, if you let them grow, one day they will tear your soul apart."

"However, your studies are a bit neglected these days. In fact, you can try to meditate. In the human world, even human children who do not have the awakening magic pool will practice meditation in order to increase the awakening magic. Chi's chance, although the effect is very small, but if you learn meditation in the magic caravan, it will not appear so obtrusive. From now on, every morning, you need to come to me to get a roll of parchment, memorize those words, I will test you every day."

I was a little disappointed and said: "But I can't come back, can I?"

"In a few more days, you and Aziz can go to the northern foot wasteland to practice, but now you need to cultivate well. There is no better place than a caravan." Old Kuru replied, and looked at it with his cloudy eyes Looking at me, facing his piercing eyes, I didn't dare to look at him and lowered my head.

"I heard that you had a conflict with the people in the adventure group yesterday?" Old Kuru patted me on the back with his big dry hands.

I thought of Mingqian's gloomy eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, maybe they will trouble me in my wasteland. But I can't beat them."

"Don't worry, my child. In the endless wasteland, no danger can hide. Do you still remember how you avoided the dwarf robber's charge?" Old Kuru's voice was calm and peaceful.

I think back to that moment, after I was knocked unconscious by the dwarf warrior, because of the disparity in strength, my body was also knocked into the air at the same time, and I was about to hit the mountain wall, and my body seemed to be unable to move. The son cast the "cloak of shadows", and I turned into a black object and hit the wall, but fortunately I survived.

"Remember, I couldn't move my whole body at the time, but I still wanted to make a last effort to cast the 'Shadow Cloak'. I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I knew that if I couldn't release the 'Shadow Cloak', I would die if I was thrown against the wall. Yes, so at that time, I entered the state of deep meditation inexplicably, and I don’t know why the magic circle drawn in my hand is not as good as it is, even just a crooked spline, but the spell casting is successful.” I carefully I recalled the scene at that time carefully, and the old Kuru was also listening carefully to every word I said.

When he heard me say that the spell casting was successful, his eyes showed a flying look, and he muttered: "It's true, it's true!"

I don't know what the old Kuru is talking about. He calmed down for a while and said to me: "Although deep meditation can't bring you into the magical state of time stagnation, it can give you the effect of mental concentration. For a long time, deep meditation is very important It is very important for the orc shaman. Especially for the more aggressive elemental shaman, every elemental shaman hopes to comprehend the powerful "Gift of Mother Earth" in his life. Earth attribute magic skills, but after all, this is a gift from the ancestors. A shaman who is lucky enough to comprehend this skill may not be able to appear for hundreds of years, so some elemental shamans have found a new way, and began to study the unconventional deep meditation. The magic effect, I came to a conclusion later, when the state of deep meditation occurs when casting a spell, there is a certain chance that the current magic skill will be strengthened, and there are several ways to strengthen it. Also increase the power of magic skills, increase the continuous effect of magic buffs, reduce the mana consumption of magic skills, gain the effect of mental concentration, spellcasting cannot be interrupted, and the success rate of spellcasting is over 90.00%. I think maybe your 'Shadow Cloak' Skills are enhanced with mental focus."

"This 'Shadow Cloak' skill was originally a dark magic of the Demon Race. The original skill only had one effect, which is to hide in the shadows. It is a simplified version of the stealth skill. But according to what you said, you have been able to fuse your body Into the magic skill, you can move slowly in the shadows with the magical mist after magic, and you won’t be visible when you move, this should also be explained by the strengthening of the magic skill under deep meditation.”

The old Kuru went on to say: "When you meditated deeply for the first time, your own spiritual power was strengthened, and when you read the magic books, you were automatically pulled into your own spiritual sea, and your memory and reading ability increased accordingly. , During that period of time, you were in the state of deep meditation, and you thoroughly understood the overall situation of the spiritual sea. But your second deep meditation was because the critical moment of life and death was stimulated, which strengthened the current situation for you The most useful magic skill, your luck is really extraordinary."

On the steep ridge on one side of the valley, there is a huge boulder lying across the peak, just like the cap on the top of Coprinus comatus.And it's surprisingly flat here.Standing on this big rock and taking a bird's-eye view of the surrounding area, I realized that there are many strip-shaped valleys like this in the mountains at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. The mountains here are like furrows in the field, arranged very neatly. However, there is such a valley near here that runs through the mountains at the northern foot, and the rest of the valleys are like closed mountain depressions, with no traces of survival at all, and everything is in a primitive state.

I was held in the arms of the old Kuru, and I didn't know what was going on. I got into the soil all of a sudden, like an earth dragon, and went straight through most of the mountains on the way. I was taken by the old Kuru to this big rock with a wide view. He stood on the big rock with his hands behind his back, and I sat on the side.This should be the product left by the glacier movement, otherwise no one would be able to place such a boulder in the shape of a strip with a length of more than 300 meters and a width of more than 80 meters on the mountain.

The old Kuru said with a serious expression: "In a few days, you and Kurz will enter the wasteland at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau to practice. Every spring, when the orc children reach your age, they will follow the older orc children to the wasteland. Experience, practice the survival knowledge you have learned in ordinary times, this is very important for orc children, I hope you can also successfully complete this experience."

"Teacher, I don't have enough confidence in myself." I lowered my head in shame.

The old Kuru was not displeased at all, and said gently: "It's good that you can recognize your true heart and bravely express your fear. That's why I brought you here, you His physique is worse than that of ordinary orc children. He has never received bow and arrow training since he was a child, and his arm strength is not enough to draw a hunting bow. Therefore, before entering the wasteland, our caravan will pass through a free market. You and Az might as well go Try your luck and see if you can find a weapon that suits you. And today I want to teach you a simple magic skill. Don’t underestimate magic skills, they are still magic.”

The old Kuru sat cross-legged across from me, and here you can clearly see the caravan moving forward along the valley, and after walking tens of kilometers forward, the caravan will enter the vast wasteland of the Pai Plateau.Those magic caravans are only as big as a matchbox in front of my eyes at this moment.

"Although you have magic power in your body, in fact, the magic power stored in your body is not much, and you can't even maintain a simple elementary magic. I found some magic powers that don't need to consume too much mana. The magic skill that can be cast, this skill is called 'Flame Tongue Weapon', it belongs to the magic power infusion skill, it can infuse the caster's weapon with the power of flame, and make the weapon get additional fire magic damage." After the old Kuru finished speaking, he Tell me this magic spell and the simpler magic circle in detail.

After listening to the old Kuru's detailed narration, I realized that although this skill is easier to learn than "Shadow Cloak", this magic skill has already involved the unique insights of the orc shaman and witch doctor on magic elements. The unique structure of the magic pattern shows the uniqueness of this magic.

Old Kuru left me here on the peak, where no one will be disturbed, and it is the best place to practice magic.But he turned into a pile of yellow sand and disappeared into the boulder.It is said that it is the advanced earth escape technique of the orc shaman, maybe I will never have the chance to learn it in my life.Old Kuru told me that he would come to pick me up before the sun went down.

I suddenly found that I have a very strong desire to learn new magic, just like now I have firmly memorized the magic spells of the 'Flame Tongue Weapon' and the structure diagram of the magic pattern circle, sitting on the boulder and began to practice tirelessly stand up.In fact, this is extremely simple basic magic, and the mana consumption is very low. The mana in my body can sustain six spellcastings.

It has been nearly two months since I learned the two magics of anti-magic and heating. During this period of time, anti-magic has been consuming the fire magic force that is constantly produced in my body, and these magical elements that originally burned me were consumed. Fuck, I've almost forgotten now what a pain it is to burn.However, the anti-magic has never been able to become stronger due to the increase in the number of uses. On the contrary, the magic skill of heating has two obvious changes in a row. The effect is also obvious, that is, the effect of gathering mana in the body is twice as fast as before.

I asked old Kuru for advice, and he told me that the two changes should be that the magic skill of heating has been successfully upgraded. If it feels that there are two obvious changes, it means that my heating skill has reached level three, level three The effect of the heating is: the mana recovery speed increased by 30.00%, which means that the mana recovery speed brought by my heating is three times faster than the previous 30.00%.Note, this is only a [-]% faster mana recovery rate based on my current mana recovery rate.In other words, in the state where I don't have a magic pool, I don't have some spiritual power, and my own concentrated magic power is still very weak.

Even so, after every 15 minutes, I had enough mana to recast Flametongue Weapon.

Casting failed!

Casting failed!

failure!

I can even feel how frustrated I am in my heart. After practicing fifty times in a row, I still haven't been able to successfully use the Flame Tongue Weapon.I carefully and repeatedly deliberated about any flaws in the spells I recited, and then repeatedly compared and compared them on the slate according to the magic pattern structure diagram on the parchment, but still did not find out where the problem was.

Sitting on the edge of the cliff, I have seen the sun sinking on the horizon of the western wilderness. The sunset in the sky is like a delicious roast chicken. I have been sitting here for a whole day, hungry and thirsty , but there is no progress in the new magic skills.At this moment, I couldn't help but took out the skinning knife in my arms, imagining that I would cut open the sunset glow like a roast chicken, put the delicious and juicy chicken leg on the plate, and cut the meat into pieces with the skinning knife, devouring the delicious food chicken, hey!I touched my gurgling stomach and sighed: I'm so hungry!
The magic power in my hand finally gathered enough to cast the Flame Tongue Weapon again. While I was chanting the spell, my fingertips were full of magic power and gathered at one point, and quickly drew a perfect magic circle. The next moment The magic pattern circle suddenly formed a fist-sized fireball in the air, and with a "huh", it got into the blade of the skinning knife in my other hand. Red, I can clearly feel that there is a strong and violent fire magic power flowing in the knife.

What the heck!
It turns out that when casting this skill, you need the weapon in your hand to be successful. I'm so confused.

"It seems that you mastered it very quickly, my child. Your magic perception is very keen. You actually learned this magic in just one day. It's getting late. I'll take you back to the caravan." Old Kuru The voice came from behind me.

I shouted in my heart with grief and anger: My dear, do you know that I am about to starve to death!

...beautiful dividing line...

Kurz, a silly kid, waited for me for a whole day, but in the end he couldn't say a word to me.

I was thrown near the magic caravan by the old Kuru. I was so hungry that I was so weak that I couldn't climb up the slow magic caravan. Is there any chance of my coming back tonight, I might be left in the wilds of the valley.

Watching me gobble up a whole sheet of wheat cake and a big bowl of broth without leaving a drop, the four girls in the dormitory all stared at me dumbfounded. It was the female ghost hanging from the roof of the shed, and then she yelled: "My God, Jia, you haven't eaten all day, have you?"

"In fact, it is true!" I patted my stomach that was about to be burst, and lay on the bed without moving, with my feet on the ground, feeling dizzy and dizzy. I felt Katerina warming my feet gently, then took off my clothes, and wiped my face with a hot towel.Not long after, I felt a soft and warm body get into the bed and hug me tightly.

She put her head on my forehead, her beautiful red hair completely covered my whole head, tried to calm down her tone, and whispered to me in aggrieved way: "You have been away all day, I thought you wouldn't come back , I thought you wouldn't come back."

I don't know what Katerina and I are at this time. There is a family relationship that is attached to each other and a friendship that experiences life and death together, but it is impossible to have love. Who would lose his mind and a five-year-old hairy man My hairy kid talks about feelings?

The crescent moon rises very late tonight, and our caravan has reached the southernmost point of the valley pass in the mountains at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. Tomorrow morning, the caravan will officially enter the Pai Plateau under the rule of the orcs. .I even imagined the giant wooden wall built by the orc tribe coalition forces at the exit of the valley.Those logs with a diameter of more than one meter are seven or eight meters high, and the tops are sharpened, and they are next to each other to form a huge wooden fence.The flag of the orc tribe flying there told me that this would be the world of orcs.
