Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

"Congratulations first, Ryan. It is really rare to be able to step into the realm of legend in just ten years!" Caleb nodded at Ryan, and said in a deep voice: "In my previous experience, there can be There are very few such achievements, and they all have better conditions."

"Thank you too, Teacher Galibu." Ryan replied respectfully.

"I said you don’t talk about it. In fact, on the path of your growth, I hardly helped you much. It was nothing more than the initial enlightenment, and in the end you chose another path that was completely different from mine. "Galib shook his head. Although he was also happy for Ryan's achievements today, he was unwilling to take credit. After all, Delaney and Victor helped Ryan more.

"No, Teacher Caleb, in my opinion, I can have today's achievements, it is you who are most grateful!" Ryan said quickly: "I dare not claim to be a magic genius, that is not to satisfy some guys. It’s just the title of desire. Although it has only taken me less than 10 years from the beginning of exposure to magic, it seems to be very rare, but now let me look back, the real key step is not to step into the legend. Realm, but the moment you took me to start this path."

"This is not a compliment to you, Teacher Caleb." Ryan said emotionally: "If we gather all the intelligent creatures on the entire continent and teach them magical knowledge in a unified way, I believe it will soon emerge. Counting high-level magicians, that number is definitely dozens of times more than the number of magicians currently recorded in all magic guilds! Although this is only a hypothetical situation of mine, it has been since I taught those apprentice magic in Cassano , It has already appeared."

"However, the actual situation in the mainland now is that there is a serious shortage of magicians, especially high-level magicians, the kind of powerful characters who can really be alone, but Victor, Blair, Catherine, etc. are only a few people. Why? What about it? Because the base of low-level magicians is too small? Why? Because there are fewer apprentices who have access to magic!"

"A farmer, if he decides not to farm but to rely on mercenaries as a means of making a living, he can sell his field, buy a weapon with the exchanged money, and the rest is the travel expenses. Register in the Bing Guild, and the farmer has become a small soldier. As for his future achievements, it all depends on his own efforts."

"But do you want to become a magician? Let's not talk about the artificial pathways set up by magic guilds in various places. The cost of studying magic theory knowledge for a few years in the academy is enough to make the civilian families living at the bottom collapse! So this way, Apprentices who really have the financial resources to support them tend to come from the rich and powerful, so that the vast majority of civilians are turned away. Many teenagers with magical talent have lost the opportunity to change their destiny for this reason."

"One of the things I am most happy and happy about all the time is that I met you when I was young. If this were not the case, I would not have the opportunity to meet Teacher Delaney, and naturally I would be as slow as other children. Grow up slowly, or become a hunter, or simply buy a weapon and become a fighter, relying on being a mercenary to support myself. Maybe I will become the best hunter in Dense Mist Town, or even a certain strength in the mainland. I have held important positions in the mercenary group, but I will definitely not have the strength that can change the balance of power on the continent today, absolutely not!"

"From this point of view, aren't you the person I respect the most, Teacher Caleb?" Ryan said that the eye circles were a little wet here, he raised his head slightly, cast his gaze to the sky, and continued: "This is also The reason why I taught magic in Cassano for free is also the reason why I wrote that book. This world is not without magic genius, but there are no people who find geniuses and the means to cultivate geniuses. Since I can change myself I have embarked on another path, so I believe I can also blaze a path that no one has ever tried or failed."

"Do you know how difficult it is to do what you are doing now?" Caleb also seemed to be touched by Ryan's true feelings. He had only agreed to teach Ryan martial arts for an accidental reason, but he changed a teenager's life. Destiny, and now, the boy who changed his destiny chose a more rugged truth. Will he succeed?Caleb didn't know, but Caleb knew how strong the obstacles this teenager would face in the future. Wasn't Caleb just because of such resistance that he left his hometown forever and wandered around the world?

"Some things must be done by someone." Ryan said calmly to Caleb in a faint tone.

Jialibu took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "There are many things that are said to be done, and then they are not as good as they are done. An ordinary magic missile may not even kill an edelweiss, but When a sufficient number of magic missiles are gathered together in the form of a storm, even the gods have to look at them. And all you need now is time, do you understand?"

Ryan nodded thoughtfully, while Caleb sighed and continued: "You can almost protect yourself with your current strength. If you run into that Catherine now, although you are still at a disadvantage, But it’s okay to escape."

"Oh, yes, Teacher Caleb, how did you do it just now?" As soon as Catherine was mentioned, Ryan immediately remembered the effect that Caleb had just stopped the magic while ignoring his time, and the last time Catherine struck. Lieb opened his mouth and asked about Catherine.

"In fact, it's very simple. Any magic has a range of action. For example, elemental magic. Fierce flames can destroy almost all creatures. But for creatures living on the elemental plane of fire, they are the most delicious tonic. The magic of'stop time' is actually nothing, but it belongs to the spell of space, and this type of magic is unfamiliar to most magicians, this will make you think it is a powerful It's just a spell, as if you were at a loss when encountering Void Protection before."

"So there are weaknesses when time stops?"

"Yes, that's for sure, Ryan." Caleb explained to his students, "For example, races with a life span of almost infinite are completely immune to this magic. For example, gods and demons, since they don’t exist. Taking time as the scale, then how can your magic that only imprisoned the passage of time affect them? In addition to this, if the opponent's strength exceeds you too much, such as the gap between the legendary powerhouse and the ordinary adventurer, then you His strength is not enough to imprison the other party's time, so naturally there is no way he can be affected."

"So it's like this!" Ryan nodded, and then asked curiously: "Then Teacher Caleb, what realm have you reached?"

"Haha, I belong to the third situation in this situation." Galibu smiled suddenly, and he patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Of course I am stronger than you now, but it is not the insurmountable kind. , After all, I am much older than you, and I have spent much more time in the realm of legend than you. It is normal to have a little skill."

"Wow, it turned out to be like this!" Ryan was even more curious now, and he whispered, "Could you tell me, Teacher Caleb? If I can master this technique, I will meet another opponent like Catherine in the future. , Don’t you need to worry about it?”

"Hahahaha! It's useless even if I tell you, because you can't do it at all. These are two different choices. You can't give up your magical power and return to learn martial arts again, unless you have a long enough To the point where it is pointing, otherwise the so-called Mowu Shuangxiu is nothing more than the Mowu Shuangxiu."

"Oh, I see." Ryan was a little disappointed, but he quickly ran this negative feeling behind his head. Now that he has stepped into the realm of legend, then as long as he moves slowly, he will be more powerful. He’s magical skills, and at that time, he will surely find a countermeasure against magic like'time stop'.

"Well, I want to ask you something." Caleb hesitated, and finally asked the question hidden in his heart: "The woman named Catherine that night, what is her origin? Do you know? "

Ryan was a little strange about Caleb’s behavior, but he would not doubt his teacher, but said to Caleb in a vicissitudes of life: "Speaking of this Catherine, alas, maybe besides me in this world, No one else knows where she really came from."

Ryan slowly told Caleb about everything he knew about Catherine. From the time Catherine studied at the Magic Guild of Mochizuki City, to when she escaped from King Alexander’s engagement, she was taken away by the demigod and turned into a witch. The demon, after hundreds of years of practice, was once again transformed into a human being, returned to the mainland to participate in the Royal Tournament, and became the wife of Fernando XIII step by step, and finally all the experiences of becoming the queen of the empire were told. Apart from several ambiguous contacts between Ryan and Catherine, Ryan did not hide anything.

When Caleb heard the name "Alexander Andrew" from Ryan, he fell into deep thought. Finally, when Ryan finished telling the whole story, Caleb sighed and said to Ryan. : "So even though Catherine wanted to kill you many times, she actually didn't cause any irreversible harm?"

Ryan felt even more strange after hearing what Caleb said. Why did his teacher suddenly say something nice to the lich? This doesn't seem to be Caleb's style?When Galibu saw Ryan’s appearance, he immediately understood Ryan’s thoughts. He thought about it, and then said: "Ryan, I know you are not as strong as Catherine now, so I won’t ask you. What. But if you have enough strength to keep yourself safe, I hope you don’t hurt Catherine’s life."
