Arcane Lord

Whether it is Mu Yan's description or Sha Duo's own understanding, the profession of mage is more like the scientists Sha Duo had before his time travel, except that Faerun's "scientists" can obtain the power of magic from research.

Xia Duo may not be a qualified scientific researcher, but modern people's thinking is definitely the most suitable for becoming a mage.

After Mu Yan finished speaking, he paused for a while, as if to give Xia more time to think, but soon got to the point——

"The next step is the bard's enlightenment. Unlike other spellcasting professions, which require exposure to magic, the bard's enlightenment only requires you to choose a poem you like, become familiar with it, and perform it. When you are addicted to it without limit, Call upon it and magic will emerge from the poetry.”

Xia Duo understood that there must be some tricks to obtain magic. Otherwise, any dedicated performer could become a bard. It was obviously impossible. But the problem is that if you want to become a bard, you must have certain performance skills.

Xia Duo smiled bitterly in his heart. Before time travel, he was not an actor. He was just an ordinary online writer. So how should he start enlightenment?

"You can also choose poems from your hometown. The most important thing is that you like and agree with the emotions in the poems. Let's read it first." Mu Yan suggested.

Xia Duo could think of many poems that he liked, but the first one that came to his mind at this moment was the sentence - "I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my family even more during the holidays."

Yesterday was the Midsummer Festival in Faerun. People in Savile Town were rejoicing, but the excitement was theirs and had nothing to do with Sha Duo. On the contrary, the more lively the atmosphere, the more Sha Duo thought of his hometown.

——[Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season]

Xia Duo read it again in Chinese, with seven characters before and after, and read it out in a rhythm. Although Mu Yan couldn't understand what it meant, Karatu or "Great Xia" was based on China on the earth. Mu Yan could learn from it. The beauty of the hometown language is appreciated in the intonation structure of this poem.

As a level 15 bard, he could easily discern the emotions contained in Xia Duo's poem.

A homesick poem?

He did not interrupt Xia Duo, and after Xia Duo read that sentence, he did not continue reading the original poem, but read it again, over and over again, so that tears blurred his vision.

Bang bang bang——

Mu Yan's applause woke up Xia Duo. He realized that he had lost his composure in front of outsiders, so he quickly calmed down and looked at Mu Yan with some embarrassment.

"Very good, you are very talented!" Mu Yan praised.

Being able to reveal true feelings in enlightenment for the first time, such emotional people are simply born bards.

However, Xia Duo understands that opportunities like today are becoming less and less. He no longer expects to return to Earth, but wants to work hard to survive in the world of Faerun. Such sentimentality is not good for him.

It is safer to try your best to hide your true feelings and emotions.

And Xia Duo wondered if Mu Yan had cast some emotional magic just now, otherwise how could he lose control of his emotions so easily, but he did not ask Mu Yan about this.

It seems that Mu Yan is very satisfied at the moment, "Experience the emotions and feelings just now. I will perform a [Lighting Technique] later. You can experience this trick through the emotions just now and call it out."

"Yes." Xia Duo agreed.

It was just a trick. Mu Yan didn't need to make any preparations. Almost as soon as he thought about it, he cast the spell successfully. A white ball of light the size of a basketball appeared in the tent. Xia Duo immediately thought that he had spent a lot of time on the way to Mu Yan. The light spell for 5 gold coins.

Most of the emotions brewing in his heart immediately dissipated, but Mu Yan was still looking at him, so Xia Duo had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to experience this lighting technique. However, the very emotional word "experience" made it really difficult for Xia Duo to grasp it. .

What exactly does it mean to “experience” and praise it in your heart? Talk to it? Or is it some kind of spiritual connection? Xia Duo didn't even count, he could only stare at the ball of light, shouting in his heart - move!

Of course, it is impossible for this light ball to obey Xia Duo's instructions. It is a light ball controlled by Mu Yan's spell. Mu Yan's purpose is just to familiarize Xia Duo with spells and get a magical response, but Sha Duo was the first to obtain the spell. [Light Technique] or not, it is impossible for him to control it.

Mu Yan hovered the light ball produced by the Light Technique in place and watched with interest as Xia Duo communicated with magic. This reminded him of his own early days of enlightenment. At that time, he was not as good as Xia Duo. conditions of.

At that time, his adoptive father simply asked him to recite poetry and learn acting. It was absolutely impossible for him to personally cast spells to help him get started.

Now it depends on whether Xia Duo can get started. Mu Yan is still looking forward to his tribe taking the path of a bard.

…

Time passed little by little. Except for eating and going to the bathroom, Sha Duo kept "looking at" the light ball, but could not get a magical response.

In fact, the concept of "magic response" itself is very mysterious. Shado, who almost tried a whole set of it, is already a little frustrated. Maybe he is really not suitable to become a bard.

The next day, Old Neil and others did not come to the door, and the results of the Mage Tower assessment would not be known for another day. Sha Duo could only continue to receive bard enlightenment here at Muyan.

In addition to "looking into each other's eyes" with the light ball and calling for magic like yesterday, Mu Yan also began to teach Xia Duo recitation and performance skills. Compared to looking at the light ball stupidly, Xia Duo preferred to learn performance skills.

In other words, performance is disguise. Survival in another world is not easy, and disguise can be a means of protecting oneself.

Mu Yan was also aware of Xia Duo's thoughts, and added a lot of content to his performance guidance, even including some unique methods of spies and scouts.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xia Duo to fully master these techniques in just one or two days, but he tried his best to keep them in mind so that he could gradually become familiar with them in the future.

By the afternoon, Xia Duo had basically given up "looking at each other" with the ball of light and devoted most of his energy to learning acting skills from Mu Yan. Mu Yan didn't express much about this and still tried his best to guide Xia Duo.

In the evening, Xia Duo, who was finishing "looking into each other's eyes" with the light ball, had a sudden idea and planned to "communicate" magic alone. From yesterday morning to now, Xia Duo also had some new understanding of magic.

Those who can only perform level 0 magic in Savile Town may not know more than Xia Duo, and during these two days of "looking at each other" exercises, Xia Duo feels that his concentration has improved a lot.

I heard that one of the most basic elements of a mage's spellcasting is concentration. He can use it freely instead of being limited to the path Mu Yan planned for him.

Maybe it will succeed!
