Lord of Arcane

Chapter 12 The Differences Between Different Spellcasters
Furthermore, Xia Duo didn't know what Mu Yan meant by "solving him". Old Neil was hateful, but little Neil had a good relationship with Xia Duo.

Coming from an era of peace, Xia Duo, who has only stayed in Faerun for less than a year, still can't easily kill people with peace of mind, but as long as there is a chance, Xia Duo will definitely give Old Neil a retribution in person, so that he can taste it. Taste the wrath of earthlings.

By the way, as well as his set of imitation silk pajamas and plush slippers, although they are not valuable things on earth, in Faerûn, these are the only things he thinks about the earth. The priceless treasure is not an exaggeration, but it was "bought" by Old Neil at the price of 5 gold coins, which must be taken back.

Mu Yan was a little surprised by Xia Duo's refusal, but he still respected Xia Duo's choice, "In this case, you stay with me for the past two days, and I will give you a bard enlightenment to see if you are suitable for this place. Of course, this does not affect your future development on other roads."

Xia Duo nodded and stayed at Mu Yan.

……

On the other hand, Old Neil, who got up early, was going to let his son deceive Shado out of the town, and then hand it over to the wild wolf group adventurers he contacted to be branded as a slave. Old Neil was not bold enough to do such an operation in the town. .

However, when his son shouted that Xia Duo was gone and came downstairs, Old Neil was stunned. Why was it different from what he had imagined? He knew that Xia Duo was a stranger and had no relatives in Savile Town. Only then did he dare to turn Xado into a slave.

Why did people suddenly disappear?Where did it go?

Old Neil grabbed his son who was still a little flustered, slapped him, and asked, "Stop screaming, where did Xia Duo go?"

"I don't know. I didn't see Xia Duo when I went in, but the window was open." Little Neil said aggrievedly. He wasn't beaten yesterday, and he was a little lucky, but he didn't expect to be slapped early in the morning.

Hearing his son say that the window upstairs was open, Old Neil had some guesses in his heart, but he still couldn't figure out where the rumors leaked.

Son and Xia Duo have a good relationship, but if Xia Duo becomes a slave, can you play with him!As for his wife Susan, Old Neil was confident enough to convince her.

But now that Xia Duo is gone, all his calculations are in vain, Old Neil is a little annoyed, and slaps his son again, "Do you know where Xia Duo might go?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Little Neil didn't know what happened to Old Neil looking for Xia Duo, and he just got slapped twice, so he suddenly became petty.

But at this moment, old Neil was annoyed, and subconsciously seemed to slap a few more times, but he seemed to have thought of something, and abruptly retracted his raised hand, forcibly squeezed a smile:
"Then do you know where Xia Duo may have gone?"

Little Neil thought about it seriously and said, "When I passed by Blotto's blacksmith shop yesterday, Blotto promised to make something for Chardeau—"

Hearing Bulotto's name, Old Neil felt a shudder in his heart. As one of the few master blacksmiths in Savile Town, if Bulotto protected Shado, Old Neil had nothing to do.

"No, it's impossible. I've known Blotto since I was a child. Dwarves won't identify with a human so easily!"

Old Neil still had fantasies in his heart. He was going to go to Blotto's blacksmith shop after leaving his son. At this time, little Neil finally realized that his father was in such a hurry to find Xia Duo. More likely to go to the circus outside the town", and swallowed it back.

Seeing his father rushing out the door, little Neil had a hint of worry in his eyes.

……

Outside Savile, inside the tent at Wood Rock.

Because he wanted to enlighten Xia Duo as a bard, Mu Yan did not open the door to set up a stall today. The steward of the Lion and Fire Circus even came to ask. Xia Duo saw the respectful attitude of the well-dressed steward towards Mu Yan. In my heart, I have another understanding of Mu Yankou's strength that is not inferior to that of the local mage lord.

After dismissing the steward, Mu Yan took out the piccolo around his waist, played a few syllables at will, and then told Xia Duo, "Okay, no one will bother you anymore."

Is this spellcasting?
Well, Xia Duo is a "magic blind" at the moment, even if Mu Yan casts spells in front of him, he can't tell the difference, but when he thinks that he is about to come into contact with magic, Xia Duo's heart is hot.

"Before the official enlightenment, I will tell you some common sense about magic, so that you have a basic understanding of the spell caster." Mu Yan motioned Xia Duo to sit down, and he also found a comfortable position to lean on before continuing. said:
"Both bards and wizards can be called spellcasters, and both can cast spells, but the specific principles of their spellcasting are different."

As soon as he heard this sentence, Xia Duo felt that he might not be able to complete his enlightenment. He stayed in Savile Town for more than half a year. Although he did not have access to specific magical knowledge, some common sense can be widely circulated, and it must also explain some problems. .

In the town of Savile, Shado heard the most words: the mage is the embodiment of wisdom and strength.

What is wisdom and power?According to Shado's understanding combined with the game background before crossing, it should refer to knowledge and magic.Furthermore, mages gain wisdom, magic, and power through knowledge.

The starting point of all this is knowledge.

And this is also the reason why Xia Duo chooses to pursue the path of a mage to gain self-protection power. Otherwise, he can believe in gods to gain magical power. It is not because of the disagreement of three views, but because he sincerely agrees with the teachings of those gods. .

If the casting principles of bards and mages are different, it is very likely that it is a type that Xia Duo cannot accept. Even if they can successfully enlighten, their future development will be very limited.

Mu Yan continued: "Mage's magic comes from knowledge and reality, while bard's magic comes from the heart."

"Inside?!" Xia Duo couldn't help but let out a surprised voice.

"Yes, the magic of the bard comes from the heart. As long as you are passionate about magic, the magic will respond to you, and you don't need to spend most of your time and energy on research like a mage."

Mu Yan's words were rather self-satisfied, and seemed to look down on those mages who seemed to be studying machines and didn't understand the beauty of life.

At this moment, Xia Duo's heart is even more cool. What is magic from the heart, Xia Duo can't accept such an idealistic way of obtaining magic. It doesn't mean that idealism is wrong, but Xia Duo grew up on the earth where materialistic concepts prevail. The three views have already taken shape.

Bards do not pursue the source and principle of magic, which is difficult for Shado to accept. As an earthling, "asking more about why" has become an instinct that penetrates into the soul.

Regardless of whether Xia Duo is idealistic or materialistic, Mu Yan continues to talk about the similarities and differences between different spellcasters.

At the end of Xia Duo's hearing, the common spellcasting occupations such as mage, priest, warlock, druid, bard, etc., after calculating, the most suitable for him is mage, as for arcanist, that is the advanced occupation of mage, Xia Duo does not need to think about it for the time being.
