Arcane Lord

In Faerun, if you only need to cast spells, there is actually not much threshold. Many Nether people can cast 0-level tricks as soon as they reach adulthood, and as long as they are willing to invest time, energy, and money, even an illiterate farmer can be trained to become a real wizard, although the final achievement may not be high.

Shado was not worried about whether he could enter the threshold of spellcasting. What he was worried about was that he could not get enough self-protection power.

Completely abandoning Mu Yan's guidance, Shado tried to cast spells according to his understanding of the spellcasting element-concentration. The only spellcasting element he knew for the time being was concentration, so he would concentrate to the extreme and carry it through to the end.

Shado pulled out a hair and put it on the back of his hand, stopped in front of his eyes, and focused all his attention on one end of the hair, but he didn't think about changing anything in his heart, just staring, staring again.

The light in the tent at night was not bright, it was only the light from an oil lamp hanging near the door, but Shado seemed to think that his hair was so bright because his attention was so focused.

So much so that he broke the shackles of reality.

But this is not enough for him to contact magic, and he must also use some auxiliary measures, such as meditation, pain stimulation, etc.

Xia Duo didn't know whether the mages would meditate. His meditation was just a way to sort out the distracting thoughts in his mind. Before crossing, he was a writer. When he encountered a writer's card, he often emptied himself, eliminated distracting thoughts, and started writing again.

Now it is the same. Xia Duo closed his eyes and meditated, analyzing all the current thoughts one by one, sorting out those distracting thoughts such as worrying about failure, fear of death, and longing for home, and did not want to expel them. This is unnecessary and impossible.

Infinitely magnify the mind that wants to focus on one point, then open your eyes and stare at one end of [Biquge www.biqugew.co] hair.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Duo feels that this hair seems to move. If it were on Earth, he would never think so, but in Faerun, everything is possible, and Xia Duo will not let the inherent cognition limit himself. (Cognition is different from the three views. The three views are positions and starting points. Cognition is all the content obtained from the three views. Cognition is easy to change, but the three views are difficult to change.)

"Add more fuel to the fire!"

Xia Duo knew that human energy was limited, and a highly focused state could not continue indefinitely. At this moment, he had to add more fuel to the fire and push it.

Xia Duo had heard the story of hanging his head on the beam and piercing his thigh countless times since he was a child. Here, he could not hang his head on the beam, but he could pierce his thigh with a knife. Xia Duo took out the iron dagger from his arms and stabbed his thigh fiercely.

The instant pain made Xia Duo's expression ferocious, but he smiled.

Because at the moment of pain, he felt a magnificent and energetic structure, which spread between heaven and earth, and even he himself was in this structure.

It was the magic net! Xia Duo thought of this immediately.

At the moment of severe pain, Xia Duo glimpsed the magic net, but that moment only lasted for a short time, and when the magic net disappeared from his perception, Xia Duo felt a little lost, but he soon remembered what he should do.

Still focusing on the end of the hair, when he felt his eyes were a little blurry, Xia Duo stabbed his thigh with a dagger again. This time he felt the magic net again, and more than that - the hair in front of him was actually flashing with fluorescence. Xia Duo rubbed his eyes to make sure that his eyes were not blurry. He was so happy that he jumped up excitedly and couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy. At this moment, Xia Duo thought of Mu Yan who was in the compartment on the other side of the tent. "Mr. Mu Yan, I succeeded, Mr. Mu Yan, I succeeded!" Lifting the curtain, Mu Yan was writing something on a piece of parchment. Seeing Xia Duo, his expression was a little surprised. He was just immersed in his creation and didn't feel such a weak fluctuation of the magic net. He didn't expect Xia Duo to suddenly break in and say that he succeeded. "Mr. Mu Yan, look!" Xia Duo stretched his hand in front of Mu Yan's eyes. The fluorescence of the hair on the back of his hand was so weak that it was almost invisible, but it did exist. It was the power of magic. When Mu Yan saw the glowing hair, his expression was very interesting. "You have come into contact with the magic network?!" His tone seemed a little regretful, but also relieved. "Yes, Mr. Mu Yan, is there anything wrong?" Xia Duo was a little nervous, afraid that Mu Yan would say something he didn't want to hear. "Nothing wrong, you did a good job, but you may not really be suitable to be a bard." Then, Mu Yan explained: "Usually the first spell a bard gets is [Illusion] or [Light]. These spells also come from the magic network, but we don't need to understand them. It's just that magic appears according to our hearts. "But your first spell is [Magic Tricks]. This spell is usually the first spell a mage gets. This means that you have chosen rationality. Maybe you are really suitable to be a mage. "

Xia Duo didn't understand why Mu Yan thought that making his hair glow was a [magic trick], and why he chose rationality, but he didn't need to know these for the time being, he just needed to confirm that he had stepped into the threshold of casting spells.

The long march has just taken the first step, but it is a key step from nothing to something. Originally, Xia Duo was still a little worried in his heart, whether the earthlings would be insulated from magic or something, but now this worry has been swept away.

Having just come into contact with the magic net and activating the power of the magic net, now his mood suddenly relaxed again. Xia Duo could no longer hold on and passed out.

Before passing out, Xia Duo only saw Mu Yan's mouth moving, as if he was saying something, but he could no longer hear it.

…

The next day, Xia Duo woke up from a simple folding bed, covered with a blanket. As soon as he got out of bed, he touched the wound on his thigh. Only then did he realize that the wound had been bandaged.

"Xia Duo, any spell caster needs to be cautious when dealing with magic. You are really too messy. If you cast too much spells just after coming into contact with the magic network, it will affect your soul. You'd better not try to cast spells in the past two days."

Mu Yan's voice of concern and reproach came from outside. Xia Duo stood up quickly. Mu Yan walked in, holding a lot of things in his hands, including feathers of unknown birds, dried feces, animal claws, and horns. What.

Putting these groceries on the wooden table, Mu Yan began to take out things from the inner pocket of his robe, including shiny metals, powders of various colors, and a white crystal, and placed these things on another wooden table. .

"As for the mage, I can't give you any training. It's a good choice for you to join Lord Savile's mage tower. After all, you are a descendant of the great arcanist, and you still have some background. Now, let me give you the last gift. , I’m leaving here tomorrow.”

Only then did Xia Duo remember that he had been here at Muyan for two days. Today was the third day, and it was also the day when the results of the Mage Tower assessment came out. Mu Yan also knows this and hopes that Xia Duo will join the Mage Tower.

"Mr. Muyan, you really don't need to do anything else. I have gained enough in these two days."

Xia Duo knew very well that Mu Yan treated him like this because Mu Yan believed that Xia Duo was also from Karatu, and the tradition of the Karatu people was that "we are all brothers in the four seas." With so few Karatu people in Faerun, Mu Yan As a senior, Yan Yan naturally has some responsibility to guide the younger generations.

but--

Shado is not from Karatu!
