Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 249 Study of Magic Arts

“Do you want to learn these spells?” The Teenage Mage pointed at these magic scrolls on the table and asked Claude.

“Want…” Claude nodded honestly.

“Humph! I won't learn from you...” The young wizard wrinkled her delicate nose and made a ghost face of Claude. This time she was still angry that Claude had just suddenly hugged her and kissed her. She remembered the hot kiss and the tongue sticking into her mouth, and she felt her face burning again.

“Okay, you're in charge.” Claude nodded again with a bitter smile. He is now surplus and weak. The few spells he really wants to learn are first-order spells. Even if he can't use them, he can only remember the magic character array structure of these first-order spells at most. Later on, he can be promoted as a second-ring character magician to be imprinted in the six stars of the spiritual space as his own second-ring basic spells.

In fact, Sheila's mother left behind these nineteen magic scrolls for the Junior Mage, which Claude really valued, namely those four first-order spells, energy shields, eagle glasses, undercover tracking, and lightweight flying. As for the spells of fossil as mud and cement as stone, he already has them, as documented in the diary of the Mage of Landers, and there is no need to study them with the Mage of Girls.

Six zero-order spells, Enlightenment and Vine entanglement and Sheila interchange spells have been learned. Eagle eye surgery doesn't have to be learned, you have your own eye for exploration, nothing is worse than eagle eye surgery. Wild bees don't have to learn to surround themselves with a bunch of wild bees during their military journeys. It doesn't matter if you learn about cultivation, you can't use it if you can, but you can use it with that tree rejuvenation technique.

There is also a fireball technique, the only attack spell in the six zero-order spells, and the iconic magician's spell in Claude's impression. As the Junior Mage said, when her mother rubbed a few little fireballs, she blew down the mountain a couple of big gray wolves that wanted to attack them, and that gesture was brilliant. But Claude took a closer look at the instructions behind the fireball technique and found that it was not much farther from the magic arrow that he would fly.

Perhaps the magical power of this fireball technique is also the magician level of the practitioner. The mother of the young magician was already a natural magician with more than four rings, and the fireball power she exerted was naturally extraordinary. But Claude was a cyclical grammar, and he suspected that even if he learned fireball, he wouldn't be much more powerful than a magical flying arrow.

The fireball technique is characterized by a burst, like a grenade, which produces a loud explosion sound. Magic flying arrows are like pistols, hidden and deadly. In terms of magic consumption, if you apply a fireball technique that consumes your own magic for ten, then there are only three magic powers that apply magic flying arrows. In other words, the magic of three magical flying arrows can only be applied once.

So Claude had an ill-advised attitude to learning fire balls, and he had little interest in other second-order spells, third-order and fourth-order spells. Shi Titan's summons is a fourth-order spell, which requires promotion to the five-ring grammar master to study. It is still a very distant distance for Claude, and he himself estimated that it would take at least a dozen or twenty years to have that possibility.

Three-order spells, that Niubi spell replacement has to be learned. However, like the Stone Giant summons, it takes time to accumulate, so let's just put it aside for now. There was also a tree guard, a three-order spell, which Claude was not very interested in, just like those three second-stage groups attacking the magic flame demon wall, flying straight down the stream, and the maze forest.

Because Claude feels these spells are a little too ancient, and perhaps powerful in an age when guns weren't invented. But now, with a small group of town guards, you can chase two or three five-ring magicians and jump chicken dogs. The logic is simple: as long as the mage's range of application and magic effects is less than the range of the gun, the life safety of the magician will always be under the threat of the gun.

In the case of Claude's battle magic magic flying arrow, he is now a cyclical grammar, and the best distance to cast a magic flying arrow is within ten meters, up to fifteen meters. Even if he were to become a five-ring magician in the future, the power of magical flying arrows would increase dramatically, and the distance would not exceed 50 meters. It remains in a passive position compared to the current range of precise firing rifles. Of course, there are many advantages, at least easier to load than a gun, and close range is invincible as long as you avoid the first round of firing of the gun. But as long as the musketeers keep their distance, the Wuhuan Master will have to think about running.

From a magic apprentice to a five-ring magician, it takes decades. But it only takes three months to develop a musketeer. And those who possess the gift of magic and are able to become magicians are always a very small part of that, which is the true history of the people of the entire continent more than six hundred years ago who took up guns and started an uprising against the brutal rule of magicians and eventually drove them out of the Farea continent. The simplest is the casualty swap ratio. Even a hundred musketeer casualties can be exchanged for a magician's crash, and the magician is doomed to fail.

Claude drifted his thoughts from spell thinking to guns and history, and for a moment he fell into contemplation. This made the young wizard a little upset, and she walked over and pulled Claude's clothes off: “What's wrong with you? Are you angry...”

Claude came back to God and sent the meat to the door without eating it for nothing. He hugged the young wizard with his hand and kissed her with pain. Then he answered in the shameless anger of the young wizard: "How can I be angry with you? Like you can't even make it. Actually, the magic I want to learn is first-class, and now even if you let me learn it, I can't learn it. I don't know when to wait until I get promoted to a second-ring scribe. Anyway, when I get there, I want to learn and ask you to agree..."

“Well, then, come on, be a Second Ring Mage sooner.” The young wizard leaned her head against Claude's shoulder, and she enjoyed Claude's hug: “So, don't you want to learn that fireball trick? ”

Claude shook his head and said, "I have other magic attacks, magic flying arrows, you know? Magic Flying Arrow suits me better than Fireball. Because now in the military, in case you need to use magic, the wounds of magic flying arrows are more like the wounds caused by a firearm, and it's easier to hide my identity as a magician. And the fireball technique is not easy to hide. Anyone can hear it as soon as it explodes, making people suspicious...”

The young wizard reminded me that Claude still had a soldier, so I had to. After all, the situation between the two was different, she had been hiding in the mountains with her mother since she was a little girl, and Claude had joined the army for her own family. Without this war that swept across the eastern part of the continent, she and Claude would probably never have known each other, and perhaps she would have died silently in the witch woods from too much blood being injured that night by a black bear attack.

The young wizard's emotions suddenly subsided and his eyes began to cry: "Well. Then you can stay here. How long are you staying...”

Claude lowered his head and kissed her face softly: "It's okay, it's mainly because it looks like there's going to be a military order up there to send us away. I assume it will be months before the end of the rainy season, when the Blue Feathers Corps and two second-line regiments will fight the anti-Olympic coalition forces of the Principality of Rimodra against the three southern counties, all the attention will be on the frontline, and no more reserves will be available from the rear for a while. There is no way to split up our soldier battalion and guard the checkpoints across the southern three counties, just like this triple crossing that I am responsible for guarding is important, it won't transfer me away soon...”

The young wizard did not speak, but held Claude tight and put his face on his chest and began to weep.

“Don't cry, baby, even if we split up for a while, when the war is over, I'll come for you, and I'll take you home, okay?” Claude gently caressed the young wizard's hair and asked softly.

The young wizard was stiff, but soon shook her head: “No, I'm going to wait here for my mother, who told me before she left, in case she doesn't come back, I have to wait here for ten years, at least to become a natural wizard of all circles before I can leave here to find her. Because only by becoming a natural magician of the Four Rings can I protect myself and be able to save her...”

What do you mean, Maiden Wizard's mother knew she might never make it back before she left? If that's the case, then why doesn't she arrange for the next life of the Teenage Mage, which sounds paradoxical?

"My mother and her friends went to dig up a magical relic, and if it goes well, she'll be back in about six months. But Mother was afraid of an unexpected situation before she left, because the magic relic was likely to have residual contraindications or the existence of a magic charm array, and if she was accidentally trapped in it, it would take time to decipher it. Mom said it wasn't hard to save her life, but it took a long time to get out of poverty and try to crack things, so let me wait here for her not to go out...”

Claude understood that maybe it was just an excuse for her mother not to go out and look for her, but she would not leave easily for ten years. All he could do was squeeze the girl in his arms and feel sorry for her.

“It doesn't matter, if the war is over and I have a vacation, I will definitely come back to accompany you, wait here with your mother...”

The subject was too serious. The atmosphere was too dull for flirting. Claude pulled a fine linen handkerchief out of his pocket, erased the tear marks on the young wizard's face, and beckoned: “Stop crying, it won't be beautiful if you don't cry, I won't like you if you don't.

The maiden wizard gently hammered Claude's chest and smiled: “Don't you dare...”

“Well, don't cry, I'll definitely be back with you.” Claude decided to change the subject: “By the way, Sheila, you're not worried about spell engraving now, are you? Tell me, how many basic spells have you engraved? ”

“Well, I had beast shaping, vine entanglement, poisonous cigarette trap, psychic and tree rejuvenation, and then I got six spells from you, and I only engraved the hand of spells, precise control, and the bead of light. I didn't imprint the ignition or the polyhydration or the reconnaissance. Because the ignition technique is similar to the fireball technique, I wanted to experiment with the fireball technique before engraving it. Polyhydraulics and probing, I don't think it's working yet, so I won't imprint it yet. ”

The Teenage Mage breaks her fingers and calculates her engraved spells. She is a Second Ring Nature Mage and can engrave fourteen basic spells.

“So you can now imprint six basic spells?” Claude frowned and thought: “I have to help you think, don't ruin these six basic spell spaces. Well, don't imprint that probing technique. I have a better probing eye for you. This is a probing technique for our magician, similar to the eagle eye your mother left behind. ”

Claude looked at the magic scrolls on the table: "Your mother left you six first-order spells, of which energy shields, undercover hiding and lightweight flying. You have to learn these three spells, and with the eye of exploration, there are only two magic spaces left, and I have two more combat spells, one is magic flying arrow and the other is first-order lightning shackles, which my pharmacy teacher, Mrs. Maria, left me. But I'm still a cyclical grammar, I can't use this spell, but I remember the magic array structure of this lightning shackle, and I can draw you a picture. Let's see which two combat spells you choose are better. ”

The maiden magician whispered: “I don't like the spell of diving and hiding. It sounds like a thief, sneaking and sneaking... Either remove this spell or replace it with an aggressive spell, so I have three combat spells. ”

“No, this spell is very important. You have to engrave it as a basic spell.” Claude shook his head to reject the Young Wizard's proposal: "This subtle obscurantism does not make you a thief, but keeps you alive. I fear that you will have trouble living here alone in the future, and if you encounter an invincible opponent, you can use this subtle hiding technique to hide away without having to fight the enemy to the death.

So, you choose fire balls and my bolt shackles, and these two spells will at least keep you safe. I also have several other spells to paint for you. Ice condensation allows you to make cold drinks and drinks in hot summers. Underwater breathing allows you to stay underwater in 10 different ways. Feathering allows you to drift from height like a feather in less than two minutes. There is also a breezy summons. In summer, a breezy breeze can surround you, bringing you cool... ”

Claude sighed with some regret: “Actually, I still have a cryoplasty, which should be an advanced version of ice condensation, but unfortunately because it's a first-order spell, I didn't write down its magic character array structure, which I can give you later. As for the magic flying arrow, I'll paint it for you too. If you have a blank magic scroll here, you can paint it with it around you, which can also reduce your magic consumption by half any time. ”

The Teenage Mage leaned in Claude's arms and muttered sadly: "There is no need for a blank magic scroll. My mother left me a blank magic book in this library, made of the leather of a blood-backed grey wolf. Mother said it was a gift left for me to officially promote a natural magician, but Mother wasn't there that day, and Stone Hole was taken over by the big black bear and I couldn't get in. Only now can I come and get my mother's gift. Thank you, Claude..."
