Broad World

There is a famous saying in Faerun Continent, if you haven't seen the battle between high-level mages with your own eyes, then you will never know how dangerous this world is. Weird and changeable means, unexpected effects, even the mighty giants and the giant dragons that dominate the sky must bow their proud heads in front of them.

In the eyes of most young people, spell casters are a group of cool guys, as long as they chant a few beautiful spells, and then make a few fancy movements with their hands, they can release powerful spells that are deadly. Many apprentices finally embark on the path of magic because they have seen the gorgeous illusions and tricks of the circus.

After all, for most intelligent life, those beautiful things are always extremely attractive, but few people notice the danger hidden under the glamorous appearance, just like those particularly beautiful animals and plants in nature, usually Contains deadly toxins.

Allen remembers clearly that the first time he became interested in magic was because his aunt performed a "magic trick". He was deeply fascinated by the gorgeous and changeable colors, and he was inadvertently immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself. He once thought that magic was simply to create beauty, but he didn't realize until he started to study systematically that it was an extremely dangerous energy, and if he was a little careless, he would lose his life. Many mages believe that "Wan", "Book", "Ba". nsb.cm Magic is a rigorous science, and only through careful study and exploration can one truly grasp the laws and make it for one's own use. But the real situation is just the opposite. The real original magic energy is chaotic and manic, and only the energy filtered by the magic net will become docile. About this point. Henry told his sister and two children about it from the beginning.

It is because of this warning. When Allen was studying in High Shed Castle. I have never dared to do experiments that are beyond my ability, for fear that I will turn myself into a chicken if I am not careful. Tyran Tyr took Merikan's affairs as a negative teaching material more than once, so his power grew slowly for a long time.

But all this was destroyed after the arrival of the dark elves. In a dangerous environment, he had to seize every second to strengthen his strength. The research and books he dared not touch before were all taken out and fumbled repeatedly at this moment. As long as he was 50% sure, he would DRY put into practice.

The facts once again proved that old saying. Stretch the bold and starve the timid. If a person dare not even take a little risk, then he will accomplish nothing. There is no doubt that Alan's adventure was successful, and he quickly crossed the threshold of apprenticeship in a very short period of time, advancing towards a higher level of spellcasting. An achievement that cannot be achieved even in years. But now he is not only not satisfied, but is even more eager for more... more... more power, just like those who are fighting ahead. With every gesture, powerful magic unimaginable by ordinary people can be released, causing the hard marble ground and the ground to crack instantly.

But obviously. This cannot be done in a short period of time. Because whether it is the Dark Elf Master (Mage), the Lich, or the two god servants shining with positive energy, it is through hundreds of years of accumulation that they have the power they have today.

Perhaps in the entire main plane, only Henry can grow rapidly through killing with the help of the system. But this is not without cost and flaws. In terms of plane exploration, life research, puppet making, etc., he has made almost no achievements, because there is not enough time to stop and study, the only thing he can do is the terrifying spellcasting level and Strong fighting power.

Just look at the battle situation at this moment. Henry beat the lich dizzy with only two copies made by the "simulacrum". Someone used teleportation magic to escape.

On the other side, the three high-level dark elf mages were in a hurry under the persecution of Lunsha and Kailin. The combination of magic and martial arts was amazing, and coupled with the unique flying ability of celestial creatures, they could only be exhausted. When it is used up, someone will die immediately.

It can be said that from the beginning of this battle, the two sides were not on the same level. Whether it was personal strength or intelligence work, Henry left the dark elves far behind. He first used the Geralt family to mobilize a large number of elites from the mage tower, and then used the wood elves to completely wipe them out on the surface.

Then he deliberately spread the news of the defeat, making the first family a target of public criticism, causing the entire city to lose its supreme leader and plunge into unprecedented chaos. Given the current situation, no family would send soldiers to reinforce the mage tower. Just relying on a few mages below level 17 and a legendary lich to make a comeback? There are no doors!

The entire invasion plan was a complete conspiracy. The calculated dark elf mages were in a state of ignorance from the beginning to the end, and they couldn't wake up until the last moment. They thought that the human mage in front of them was just out of anger. Especially that Lich has been trying to negotiate.

Seeing the one-sided battle situation, Henry turned his head and asked his son: "Alan, tell me, which aspect do you think is the most important for a powerful spellcaster? It is the ability to learn, the amount of magic mastered, the speed of casting spells, Excellent research ability, extraordinary spellcasting level, or meticulous thinking. Think carefully before answering, because it is likely to affect your life."

"I... I don't know, father." Allen replied a little at a loss.

He feels that each of these is very important for a mage. Without excellent learning ability, one cannot improve one's strength. Too few spells mastered means insufficient adaptability, and insufficient casting speed means that the mage is not suitable for fighting. Research ability If it’s too bad, it’s impossible to create magic items and puppet creatures. Without enough spellcasting levels, many things can’t be done. As for careful thinking, shouldn’t all spellcasters have it?

For a moment, the boy fell into deep thought. He looked at the dark elves and liches on the battlefield for a while, then looked at his father standing aside smiling, and finally fixed his eyes on his hands. Half a minute later, he seemed to understand something. His eyes suddenly burst into a strange look.

"I think that as a mage, the most important thing is to always be devout to magic itself. It is the source of power for all spellcasters, and it is also faith and sustenance. No matter how powerful a mage is, as long as he loses this attitude, then It will inevitably fail in the near future. As for what you said, although it is very important, it is not fundamental."

After finishing speaking, Allen raised his head and stared at his father, eager to get affirmation from there. He just subconsciously felt that this was the correct path, but he was not completely sure. After all, for a child less than ten years old, this question was a bit too esoteric, and maybe even many great (mage) masters might not be able to answer it. come out.

Hearing this answer, Henry smiled, very happily. He found that his son was even better than he had imagined, and at such a young age, he actually understood what is the most fundamental thing for a mage.

That's right, the real magic itself, also known as raw magic or wild magic. It doesn't belong to the magic net, it doesn't belong to the goddess of magic, and there is no distinction between good and evil. It just fills the entire main plane with images of energy, even the multiverse. Maybe ordinary people don't feel it at all. In their lives, these energies are everywhere.

The magic of the entire Faerun continent has many independent systems, the earliest of which belonged to the Sarukh witches, they were the first to discover these energies, and created the "Netheril scroll" before the birth of the magic net , had an immeasurable impact on the later magical civilization, and the Netheril era was also opened because of this, which can be regarded as the most widely spread system.

The second type was brought by the high elves from another world. It has a very complete theory from the beginning, so the development speed is very fast, especially in terms of large magic circles, it is absolutely unique, and the magic lock is the most representative achievement.

As for the third type, it was born more than 10,000 years ago, that is, when the elves were fighting the fifth crown war, the humans in the east established an empire that was stronger than the Netheril civilization, Imasca. At that time, mages were called "artificial mechanics", especially good at making all kinds of magic items and puppets. They could be called the pinnacle in space exploration, and they could even cut through crystal walls. You must know that even the gods What cannot be done, until now no civilization has been able to surpass it.

Of course, like all great empires, Imaskar was eventually destroyed. They used the cross-crystal wall portal to plunder a large number of people, and as a result brought back the gods of another world. Under the leadership of the gods, all the slaves broke out in a large-scale uprising, burying this glorious civilization .

In order to prevent the ashes from resurging, the gods of the two pantheons did one thing that made civilization go backwards, that is, to destroy all traces of the Imascar Empire, including writing, architecture, knowledge, history, and even legends. In the end, those magical techniques that the gods admired disappeared, and not even a little bit was handed down.

It can be said that the reason why these three different magic civilizations can reach such a high level is because of their in-depth research on primitive magic. Since the emergence of the magic net, spellcasters have gradually become accustomed to using spells in such a quick and easy way, and very few people try to use magic. Explore those elusive wild magic, so it can be said that one generation is not as good as one generation.

This is also why in the future dr 1385, which is the year of the blue flame, when the goddess of magic dies again, why countless mages will either die or go crazy, because they rely too much on the magic net. Just as modern people get used to the Windows operating system and suddenly return to the most primitive 0 and 1 code operations, I am afraid that 99.99% of them will go crazy.

Although Henry himself enjoyed the efficiency and convenience of the magic net, he never relied on it, otherwise he wouldn't have racked his brains to create a very primitive profession, Arcanist. He is very clear that if he wants to become as great as the gods, he must get rid of the dependence on the magic net, start from the most primitive wild magic, and walk out a path different from most spellcasters.
