My Magic Age

It was a green rose. It looked like a flower bone at first. Later, it slowly bloomed into a delicate rose in my hands, and its color gradually became lighter. When the rose was completely carved, Later, it turned out to be a white rose with only green edges. In order to learn how to carve flowers with apples, I worked very hard at the beginning, just to show off in front of girls and put a smile on the face of the girl I like. That's enough.

Unexpectedly, this time, I would show my hand in front of this middle-aged water magician who calls himself an artist.

The orc child stood aside and looked at us curiously. I found that his eyes became very hot when he saw the ice wall. The child was very interested in magic. I turned around and wanted to leave again. The middle-aged magician still held the rose in his hand and kept thinking about it. Seeing that I wanted to leave again, he hurriedly asked me: "Young man, where are you going?"

"He said he wanted to go home!" the orc child explained to the middle-aged magician next to him in orc language.

"You don't want to save those people on the other side of the lake? Do you want to escape? Haven't you always wanted to save them? Why have you given up now?" The middle-aged mage saw that I didn't stop, so he quickly chased me and kept chasing me. He may have been a little eager to question me, but in a panic, he accidentally stepped one of his feet into the crevice of the pebbles, making his leather boots wet.

The middle-aged magician loved to be clean. He frowned and pulled out his wet feet from the sand. He immediately gathered a ball of water and rinsed the muddy shoes clean. Then he immediately recited a series of incantations. Water elements surrounded him. The next moment, he was standing proudly in the shallow water by the lake, magically floating on the water. When the waves rushed to his feet, they miraculously separated to both sides. Actively avoid the middle-aged magician.

"Does it feel magical? Interesting? Do you want to learn? Oh, I guess you are not old enough to go to school yet. You haven't participated in the awakening ceremony yet? Do you want to become a magician? If, I mean if... you have You have the chance to become a magician, do you want to try it?" He smiled proudly at me.

I didn't react at the first time, so I said to the middle-aged magician: "Everyone has the opportunity to become a magician, I know it!"

The middle-aged magician looked like a devil with a golden apple in his hand, standing proudly by the well to lure children into selling their souls. Pointing to the halo of water element spreading out under his feet, he thought that I couldn't see the spreading magic elements, so he explained to me: "Look, this is magical magic. The sages gave it a very beautiful The name is 'Walk on Water'."

"Look, isn't this skill cool? Only by becoming a magician can you learn to cast spells, just like me!" He gave some simple introductions, while on the other side he continued to release some simple magic.

"And you, boy, you are lucky! You met me before participating in the awakening ceremony, and I happened to have a way to give you a little more chance of becoming a magician than others. Of course, as a fair exchange, as long as you teach The carving technique I just used will do the trick!" the middle-aged magician continued.

I started to ask her: "Isn't it up to Lady Luck to decide whether to become a magician? Are you her servant?"

After hearing this, he laughed and said: "You are right, I would very much like to be the servant of any goddess, but unfortunately I am not!"

I stopped and asked him curiously: "You said you can improve the chance of becoming a magician during the awakening ceremony?"

The magic awakening ritual has always been a very mysterious thing to me.

Seeing that I was really interested in this matter, the middle-aged magician stood next to me and said to me: "Yes, you see, I happened to discover a little secret in the magic awakening ceremony."

"That is the real purpose of the Magic Awakening Ceremony. One is to awaken one's own magic element carrying capacity. Generally speaking, everyone is a carrier of magic elements. Our bodies often contain various magic elements. It's just that Those magic elements cannot be preserved in us for too long. Only when those magic elements can be stored in our bodies, can we be qualified to become magicians. Of course, we must have an affinity for magic elements before we can awaken and become magicians. qualifications."

The middle-aged magician asked me to stand on the water like him. I was a little incredible. It felt like I was standing on the ice, watching the waves under my feet separate from both sides of my body. It felt very amazing. The middle-aged magician held my hand. He was letting me experience the feeling of magic. He then said to me: "In fact, those children who have been selected have an affinity for magic elements. Only a few children can Build a barrier that can seal the magic elements, and this magic barrier is called a magic pool. Whether you can build your own magic pool is also the key to becoming a magician."

The middle-aged magician withdrew his gaze and looked at my face. Then he said:

"When some children successfully build up a magic pool in their bodies, it means that the remaining magic elements in the body can be gathered in the body's magic pool. This completes the final step of building the magic barrier in the body, forming the initial magic pool, and then in The magical power of success is gathered in the magic pool, and this ritual is usually called the Magic Awakening Ceremony.”

I actually don’t know what the magic awakening ceremony is about at all, but I heard the middle-aged magician speak clearly and eloquently, so I thought what he said was very reasonable. He told the entire process of the magic awakening ceremony, but I didn’t find anything. Can increase the chance of becoming a magician.

Then I heard this middle-aged magician say to me: "Every child is born with magical affinity, and the strength of these magical affinities will directly affect whether a barrier can be built to seal the magical elements. The stronger the magical affinity. , the greater the chance of building a magic pool, but if you are not a magician, you may not be able to realize your affinity with magic elements. "

He continued: "Actually, I have a way to let you feel the strength of your magic affinity."

While condensing a diamond-shaped magic crystal in his hand, he said: "As long as you stay next to my magical magic crystal every day and realize the subtle magic elements in the air, there will always be some elements that like to get close to you! Before participating in the awakening ceremony Before, when you were next to the magic crystal and felt the magic elements in the air, your magic affinity would definitely increase."

"My method is very simple to put it bluntly. It is to artificially improve your own magic affinity before participating in the magic awakening ceremony. But it is a bit difficult to do. Even magicians with magic perception power need a lot of time to meditate to improve their magic affinity. Unless I help you sense the magical elements in the air..."

How could I let him explore my magic affinity? According to what he said, although there is no magic pool in my body at this time, I am already a container of magic elements, and the nodes in my body can store some magic. My magic affinity is also very high, how dare I let him know the secrets in my body.

According to what he said, I can actually understand that there are two important factors for successfully awakening to become a magician. The first is that you need to be born as a magic carrier and be able to carry a certain amount of magic power. The second article is that the higher the affinity of magic elements, the easier it is to build a magic pool. I heard that he wanted to explore some of my magic affinity. I was so scared that I backed away, and then said: "My ability to carve radish flowers is actually a matter of constant practice. , there is no trick at all! ”

"Practice, yes, why didn't I think of that!" the middle-aged magician laughed.

He stared at me, as if he had some understanding, and said quickly: "You are not a magician at all, so you cannot use magic perception to enhance your keen senses, so you can simply rely on carving practice to make this flower." The flowers are perfectly carved, it’s really a beautiful piece of art!”

"As for me, I have always let myself fall into a misunderstanding, that is, thinking that magic is omnipotent. In fact, these technical carving techniques are the real art. These cannot be solved with magic. Magic carving Although the things that come out are beautiful and flawless, they also have no soul and life! Only the most basic carving skills can integrate the sculptor's mood into the work..."

The middle-aged magician fell into obsession again. He kept talking to himself, and later he actually laughed: "Hahaha, those ridiculous inscription masters may never understand why they are stuck at the bottleneck of the first-level inscription. , they have been pursuing their own magic control ability, affinity and accuracy. In fact, they have ignored the most important point, that is, every inscription master needs solid carving skills, otherwise how can they draw it perfectly? Magic pattern array? I didn’t expect it to be like this..."

I asked the orc child beside me: "Is he always like this? Are you with him?"

"My grandma believes that he can make me become a magician, so she told me to stay with him before participating in the magic awakening ceremony!" The orc child sighed, looking helpless. Obviously, this water magician who calls himself an artist always falls into his own space from time to time.

In fact, the shock in my heart at this moment was like a volcano erupting, but I tried hard to control the excitement in my heart. According to the conditions mentioned by the middle-aged magician, the awakening ceremony was equivalent to me. Half a foot stepped into the magician's door. Whether it's my body's magic carrying capacity or my own affinity for magic, I'm already far ahead of ordinary children. But now, I feel that doing anything other than pretending to be stupid is definitely asking for death. I don’t want this magic lunatic to see that I am any different, otherwise if I become someone on his test bed Guinea pig, that's terrible.

In fact, what I'm really interested in is this water magician's skill 'water walking', and I want to learn it. So I told the middle-aged magician some more about my thoughts and understandings about carving, but they were all about carving radish flowers. Sure enough, at the end, when I asked to watch his 'Walk on Water' magic skill While reading, the middle-aged magician took out a magic card directly from his magic pocket. Scroll, and told me that this scroll describes how to use this magic skill, but he finally said to me: "After awakening the magic pool and becoming a magician, you must prepare well if you want to learn this magic skill, because This magic skill is not a general magic skill and is very difficult to master!”

After the middle-aged magician gave me the magic scroll, he could not wait to open a space crack, and pulled the little orc boy into the space-time crack very naturally. He kept chattering while walking: "I think the teacher has been stuck at the bottleneck of the intermediate inscription master, and the stagnation is because the carving skills are not solid. Li, what do you think if I tell the teacher directly, throw me into the Running Horse River?"

"You have to ask my grandma, how do I know?" The orc boy said in poor orc language.

"You are the teacher's most beloved son! How could you not know?" The middle-aged magician stepped into the space crack with his last trouser leg, and the space-time crack that was casually opened in front of me closed in an instant.

The two people just disappeared in front of me, leaving only the melting ice wall. The beautiful relief of the fish lake scenery on it had melted beyond recognition. I sighed in my heart, what a willful magician, who can draw space-time cracks at will. How much affinity of space magic elements does it take to cross time and space so easily?

It turned out that the middle-aged magician whom I had always despised was really as he said. I was lucky to meet him at the magic awakening ceremony!

I am such a special child who is born with the talent of magic perception. But because of a burning fruit, I have been in the burning of fire poison for a long time, and my body has slowly developed resistance to the magic power of the fire element. Because of this, my body can store some magic power of the fire element. It was at this time that I learned "anti-magic". This seemingly useless magic is actually my biggest turning point for me. My body has the ability to resist magic continuously, so each node in my body also has the ability to resist magic and can store magic power. In this process, my body has become a magic container imperceptibly, but those nodes as numerous as stars can store very little magic power. After having magic perception and magic power, I slowly control these magic powers, and my own magic affinity is slowly improving.

I just stood silently on the shore of the lake, and kept flipping through the magic scroll in my hand before it got dark.

The whole parchment scroll was written in ancient orc language. This turned out to be the magic skill of the orc shaman priest, but fortunately it was a low-level skill, and I could barely learn it. Probably the middle-aged magician would not have thought that I could understand ancient orc language.

The orc shaman witch doctors are half-combat and half-magic. They have strong mental power, but their magic power is very ordinary. They also have strong strength, but their agility and physique are not as good as those of orc warriors. These orc witch doctors will use some magic skills in battle. Therefore, the magic skills learned by the orc witch doctor do not need to consume too much magic power to perform. The "walking on water" itself is still an auxiliary skill. Perhaps only idle people like the middle-aged magician are interested in learning such unconventional magic skills! But he is a human magician. How did he learn the magic of the orc tribe? This is puzzling to me!

I used the pure water element power in the sea of ​​​​spirit again. A flash of lightning rushed out of my body and drilled into the ground under my feet. The purest water element power was like condensed ice flame fire. With my fingertips, a beautiful magic pattern array was drawn. A light blue water element breath surrounded my body. There was a water element halo under my feet that kept spreading outward. Then I tried to stretch out my feet and took the first step toward the lake.

A strange thing happened. I stood on the surface of the fish lake just like the middle-aged magician did before. The shallow waves separated from the sides of my shoes, but they didn't even get my shoes wet. The magic power consumed by this magic skill was not high. Even if I cast it 20 times in a row, the magic power in my body would not be exhausted. The "heating" magic gave me a very strong endurance. Although I couldn't keep too much magic power in my body, the 290% recovery speed of magic power combined with the "magic recovery" of the blue crystal stone drum should be enough for me to cast spells continuously.

At this moment, I made a bold decision in my heart. I wanted to return to the battlefield on the other side of the lake to rescue the human warriors trapped by the lake. Maybe tonight would be the only last chance.

The setting sun has been submerged in the gray-black mountains. In the mist on the surface of Fish Lake, a figure running desperately appears. I am trying to even out my breathing rhythm to make my running very regular. Even if the waves on the lake are very big, they will naturally separate wherever I pass. I am running forward desperately...
