My Magic Age

The time for the next departure has been set. All the guides in the caravan have returned safely. They opened a road in the swamp area ahead that is full of dangers so that even the Thunder Rhino can pass through.

When we received the news of departure, it was already the seventh day after the ice rain. The water on the Xinghu grassland had disappeared, and the whole grassland became more and more lush and full of vitality. It was a green ocean.

Master Pailes was worried about the weather change and hoped to cross the mountains on the northern foot of the Pai Plateau as soon as possible. The situation after entering the mountains is much more complicated than that of the Xinghu grassland.

It is said that the weather there is more extreme. It is often cloudless just now, and then it will rain heavily the next moment. In the morning, it is still sunny, baking people dizzy and sweating. In the afternoon, snowflakes will float, and you have to wear cotton clothes.

I was sitting in a chair and looking at the records about herbs in the parchment scroll. Since I entered deep meditation last time, I found that my memory was much stronger than before. Many difficult symbols and characters, even if I couldn't understand them, didn't matter. I could memorize them by rote and throw them into the golden lake in my mind. Of course, this can't be considered as entering a deep meditation state.

But I found a shortcut to learning because of this. I can establish a connection with the golden lake in my mind, store what I see with my eyes in the form of a video, and classify them according to my ideas.

I secretly told Lao Kuru about my strange ability, and he explained that it might be because the last deep awakening strengthened my mental power. In the orc tribe, orc wizards only have a chance to realize this ability called "fast thinking" when their mental power exceeds 25.

It's just that other orc wizards usually have obvious improvements in memory and reading comprehension, not like me who turned memory into a wonderful sense, and I didn't improve my reading comprehension of the ancient orc language on the parchment scroll. Many times, I memorized it, waited for Old Kuru's patient explanation, and then memorized it word for word, like a human tape recorder.

Old Kuru mentioned the specific numerical value of mental power, but I couldn't understand what the specific concept of mental power 25 was, so he explained it to me again.

This has to be said to be a milestone in the history of human magic. A magic scholar once put forward a view that any person (including orcs, elves, dwarves, demons, barbarians, etc.) has different attribute values, and can be roughly divided into five categories: strength, agility, physique, magic power, and mental power.

Every ability of the human body is closely related to these five attributes, and even an unarmed civilian or a child has these five attributes, and these five attributes are changing all the time.

As the body grows, gets sick, and ages, it will show a parabolic shape. At the same time, targeted training can improve various abilities.

He used the average value of the physical attributes of 100 normal adult men as a reference and set a standard:

The physical attributes of a normal adult male human with awakened magic pool: strength 10, agility 10, constitution 10, magic power 10, and mental power 10.

This is the standard attribute of a male human without awakened magic pool, which later people called the five measurements.

The magic scholar gave a brief introduction:

Strength is the comprehensive ability of each person's attack power, body weight bearing capacity, and wrist strength.

Agility is the comprehensive ability of running speed, dodge ability, balance, and attack speed.

Physical fitness is the comprehensive ability of endurance, physical defense, and recovery ability.

Magic power is the comprehensive ability of magic attack power and magic value.

Mental power is the comprehensive ability of magic resistance, mana recovery speed, magic perception, and wisdom.

And standardized a series of testing methods, which are still used today.

This is just a standard reference value. In some attributes, it is normal for some people to have more and some to have less. The physical attributes of adult women are also measured based on the physical attributes of men. Their average attributes are: strength 8, agility 9, constitution 9, magic power 10, and mental power 11.

If the magic pool is not awakened, the magic power attribute will be infinitely close to 0.

Adult wolf orcs are far superior to the average attributes of humans in terms of strength, agility and constitution. Their strength is 14, agility is 15, constitution is 13, (without awakening self-healing ability) magic power is 6, and mental power is 7.

Old Kuru just listed a few typical examples. This kind of digitalized personal ability is a bit like the physical test we took at that time. Kuz and I were very interested. We began to surround Old Kuru and asked him to predict our attributes. Old Kuru was reluctant at first, but he was finally unable to stop our entanglement. He hesitated for a moment and was annoyed. He had no choice but to say: "Without systematic testing, what I said is not accurate. I can only give you a rough idea, and it is not very accurate. Don't pester me after listening."

We naturally agreed to it happily, like two pitiful deer waiting to be fed, looking up at our little faces and waiting for Old Kuru to speak. This is much more interesting than telling stories.

"Neither of you have awakened, and you don't have much magic power. Even if Jia's body is different from others, that little magic power is less than 0.1, which can be ignored. Az's strength has grown very fast recently, and it has almost reached about 10. His agility is even higher, even if it is 11, his physical fitness is much worse, 9, and his mental power, hum! It's good to have 5."

Old Kuru was just like chopping cabbage in the vegetable field. He said to Kuz sadly, "Oh!" Not bad, Kuz and I both found it very interesting.

"Come on, talk about Jia, talk about Jia." Kuz shouted, and I was looking forward to it.

Lao Kulu looked at me thinking for a long time, and then said softly to the two of us: "It doesn't matter if my evaluation of Aziz spreads out, but Jia has something to say about Jia. After listening to it, you two will pretend that you have never heard of it. Qian You must not tell anyone, this can be said to be a matter of life and death. Kuz, you must remember that although you are seven years older than Jia, your mind is far less mature than Jia, so remember what I say."

"I got it, Grandpa!" Kurtz promised.

Old Kuru went to take out the cigarette in his pocket again, but found that only a short section was left. He finally held back and put it back with a sigh.

Licking his chapped lips, he finally lowered his voice and said, "Jia is in a young age, so his attributes will grow very quickly. As of now, his strength is about 2, his agility is almost 4, his constitution is more like 3, his magic power is 0.1, and his mental strength is 0.1. I can't say for sure, but I think it won't be lower than 25, because this line is the basic line of 'quick thinking'. I think there are three indispensable factors why Jia's mental power is so high. First, from Since two years ago, Jia's body has been continuously damaged by fire-attribute magic. The body has developed resistance to fire-attribute magic, and the fire resistance has increased, which greatly stimulates the growth of mental power. Second, continuous learning is the fastest way to increase mental power. In the past two years, Jia has learned it one after another. Orc language, Imperial language, herbalism, and pharmacy are also the reasons for the increase in spiritual power. The third point is that the meditation created by the elves can quickly restore magic power, and at the same time, it can also slowly increase magic power and spiritual power. It is very likely that Jia’s spiritual power was strengthened during deep meditation.”

After listening to what Old Kuru said, I was wondering if this was another manifestation of being biased.

In the past few days while waiting for the departure of the business group, Kuz and I have gradually become familiar with the names of the men in the business group. In the past, everyone met each other and got to know each other, but they all just regarded us as the grandsons of old Kuru. As well as his little apprentice, he usually just runs around all over the mountains and fields, having fun everywhere, otherwise he does some odd jobs in the caravan, occasionally boiling medicine for Lao Kulu, delivering medicine and other errands.

If it weren't for Old Kuru's sake, no one would take a second look at us. But recently, people have begun to discover that Kurtz and I have the secret recipe of the orcs’ food, and we can still make it in a decent way, which is amazing.

I just think about the person in front of me, and I want to make a barbecue with the two of us to satisfy our craving.

Those who think far will talk in a roundabout way about how many flowers are blooming in the human world, and ask us if we want to see them. If we want to go, just go to them and they will take us on a tour for free.

What's this, do you think it's just a trick of a weirdo using a little goldfish to deceive a girl?

Even Kurtz was unwilling to listen to this rhetoric.

In order to avoid trouble, I simply didn’t even leave the tent, and just stayed inside to read the parchment roll recording herbalism given to me by the old Kuru.

Moreover, our tent is in a remote corner of the camp. Even if we occasionally cast magic in the tent, no one will notice it. I've been a little obsessed with magic recently. It's very cool to condense magic power with your fingers and draw gorgeous symbols in the air. After all, it's good for my body, as it removes the fire poison from my body!

Later, I discovered that the "heating" magic is also very good. It can also restore energy. After reading a book after using "heating" on someone, they will not get tired easily. Although there is only a very small difference, it is better than nothing!

While I was immersed in studying, Kuz ran in from the outside with sweat on his face. Ever since I locked myself in the tent to study, this guy has been grounded by Old Kuru and is not allowed to run out of the camp.

I could only practice the basic movements of the harpoon outside the tent, and every time I was covered in sweat and smelled sour. He rushed to the wooden box next to me that was used as a desk, poked the harpoon in one side, picked up the kettle and poured a large gulp of water into his mouth, and then burped with satisfaction.

I glared at Kurtz angrily and said to him: "How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to drink a lot of water after strenuous exercise, otherwise your lungs will explode. You don't listen!"

"My brother is a werewolf. He has been drinking water like this since he was a child. It's okay!" Kurtz put down the kettle, pinched a piece of dried meat from the plate on the table, threw it into his mouth and said vaguely: "I almost forgot, I came in here to tell you that the woman from the dance troupe who took us in to cook that day, oh, is Fred’s best friend, is here, and it looks like she’s here to see you.”
