My Magic Age

During the trip, the most boring time was left, especially when I couldn't meditate. Even if I cast an anti-magic to consume the remaining fire magic power in my body, I had to carefully hide in the bathroom. Without the parchment scrolls filled with ancient orc language, and without the small clay stove that never goes out, I feel like my body is rusting. There are some things I have always wanted to ask Old Kuru, so on the next day At that time, I finally boarded the long-lost Thunder Rhinoceros and sat on that familiar seat. At this time, I felt that the scenery between heaven and earth suddenly became vivid. Kuz patted my shoulder excitedly and had a lot to say to me.

Standing on the back of the eight-meter-high Thunder Rhinoceros, I wanted to look at the exit of the valley. The V-shaped valley exit is dozens of kilometers away. I can even see the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau through the valley mouth. The blue sky and the earth are connected there, and there are a few flowers like cotton candy floating in the blue sky. The same white clouds, so low that you can reach them with your hand.

"You look much better." Old Kuru nodded and said to me, took his hand out of his cuffs and put it on the top of my head. I felt a cool feeling pouring from the top of my head into my whole body. He continued: "It seems that throwing you into a human group will be good for your growth. If you stay with us for too long, your wildness and your nature are two extremes. They are in your inner world. Go against it, and if you let them grow unchecked, one day they will tear your soul apart.”

"But your studies have been a bit neglected these days. In fact, you can try meditation. In the human world, even human children who do not have an awakened magic pool will practice meditation on a daily basis to increase their awakened magic. Although the effect is very small, if you learn meditation in the magic caravan, it will not be so abrupt. Every morning from now on, you will have to come to me to get a roll of parchment and memorize those words. I will test you every day.”

I said a little disappointedly: "But I can't come back yet, can I?"

"In a few days, you and Aziz can go to the Beilu Wasteland for some training, but now you need to recuperate. There is no better place than a caravan." Old Kuru replied, and looked at it with his cloudy eyes. Looking at me, facing his bright eyes, I lowered my head without daring to look at him.

"I heard that you had a conflict with someone in the adventure group yesterday?" Old Kuru patted my back with his big dry hands.

I thought of Ming Qian's gloomy eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, maybe they will cause trouble for me in my wasteland. But I can't defeat them."

"Don't worry, my child. In the endless wilderness, no danger can be hidden. Do you still remember how you avoided the collision of the dwarf bandits?" Old Kuru's voice was calm and peaceful.

I think back to that moment. After I was knocked unconscious by the dwarf warrior, due to the disparity in strength, my body was also knocked away. I was about to hit the mountain wall. My body seemed unable to move. At that time, I suddenly entered a deep meditation. Zi used the "Cloak of Shadows", and I turned into a black body and hit the wall. Fortunately, I didn't die.

"I remember, I couldn't move my whole body at that time, but I still wanted to make a final effort and cast the 'Cloak of Shadows'. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just knew that if I couldn't release the 'Cloak of Shadows', I would die if I was thrown against the wall. , so at that time, I entered inexplicably In a state of deep meditation, I don’t know why although the magic circle drawn in my hand does not look like it, or even just a winding spline, the spell casting was successful." I recalled the scene at that time carefully, Lao Ku. Lu was also listening carefully to every word I said.

When he heard me say that the spell casting was successful, his eyes were filled with excitement and he muttered: "It's true, it's true!"

I didn’t know what Old Kuru was talking about. He calmed down for a moment and then said to me: "Although deep meditation cannot bring you into the magical state of time stasis, it can allow you to obtain the effect of mental concentration. For a long time, deep meditation has been beneficial to For orc shaman, it is crucial, especially for those with more abilities. A highly aggressive elemental shaman. Every elemental shaman hopes to understand the powerful earth-attribute magic skill "Mother Earth's Gift" in their lifetime. However, this is the gift of the ancestors after all. If you are lucky enough to understand this skill, A shaman may not appear for hundreds of years, so some elemental shamans will be replaced by others. I found a new path and began to conduct in-depth research on the unconventional magic effect of deep meditation. Later I came to the conclusion that when a deep meditation state occurs when casting a spell, there is a certain chance that the current magic skill will be strengthened. The direction of strengthening is several aspects. It is best to One way is to increase the magic casting speed and turn it into instant magic. , as well as increasing the power of magic skills, increasing the continuous effect of magic buffs, reducing the magic value consumption of magic skills, obtaining mental concentration effects, spell casting cannot be interrupted, and the spell casting success rate is more than 90%. I think maybe yours. The 'Shadow Cloak' skill has been enhanced with mental focus."

"This 'Shadow Cloak' skill was originally the dark magic of the demons. The original skill had only one effect, which was to hide your whereabouts in the shadows. It was a simplified version of the invisibility skill. But according to what you said, you have been able to fuse your body with In the magic skills, you can move slowly in the shadows with the magic mist after the magic, and it will not show up when you move. This should be explained by the strengthening of the magic skills under deep meditation. "

Old Kuru continued: "The first time you entered deep meditation, your own mental power was strengthened. When you read the magic book, you were automatically pulled into your own spiritual sea, and your memory and reading ability were enhanced accordingly. , during that time you are in depth In the state of meditation, you can thoroughly understand the overall situation of the spiritual sea, but your second deep meditation was inspired by the critical moment of life and death, which strengthened the magic skills that are most useful to you at present. You are really lucky. It’s not that good.”

On the steep mountain ridge on one side of the valley, there is a huge boulder lying across the mountain peak, like the cap on the top of the Coprinus comatus. And it's surprisingly flat here. Standing on this big rock and taking a bird's eye view of the surroundings, I discovered that strip-shaped valleys like this are common in the mountains at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. The mountains here are like ridges in the fields, arranged very neatly. However, there is such a valley near here that runs through the mountains at the northern foot. The rest of the valleys are like closed mountain cols. There is no trace of survival at all. Everything is in a primitive state.

I was held in the arms of Old Kuru, and without knowing what was going on, I suddenly got into the soil, like an earth dragon, and passed through most of the mountains on the way. Amidst the rumbling sound of the surrounding stones, I was brought to this big rock with a wide view by Old Kuru. He stood on the big rock with his hands behind his back, while I sat on the side. This should be a product left after glaciers moved. Otherwise, no one would be able to place such a strip of boulder, which is more than 300 meters long and about 80 meters wide, on the mountain ridge.

Old Kulu said with a serious expression: "In a few days, you and Kuz will enter the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau for training. Every spring, when the orc children reach your age, they will follow the older orc children to the wasteland. Experience and practice the survival knowledge you have learned in daily life is very important to the orc children. I hope you can complete this experience successfully. "

"Teacher, I don't have enough confidence in myself." I lowered my head in shame.

Old Kuru was not displeased at all, and said gently: "It's good that you can realize your true intentions and speak out your fears bravely. This is why I brought you here, you His physique is somewhat worse than that of ordinary orc children. He has not received bow and arrow training since he was a child. His arm strength is It's not enough to draw a hunting bow, so before entering the wilderness, our caravan will pass through a free market. You and Aziz might as well try your luck to see if you can find a weapon that suits you. Today, I want it. I’ll teach you a simple magic skill. Don’t underestimate magic skills, they are still magic no matter how bad they are.”

Old Kuru is sitting cross-legged opposite me. From here, you can clearly see the caravan moving forward along the valley. After walking dozens of kilometers further, the caravan will enter the vast wasteland of the Pai Plateau. Those magic caravans are only as big as a matchbox in front of my eyes at this moment.

"Although you have magic power in your body, in fact, the magic power stored in your body is not much, and you cannot even maintain a simple primary magic. Among the many orc magics, I found some that do not require too much mana. The magic skill that can be cast, this skill It can be called 'Fire Tongue Weapon', which is a magic infusion skill. It can infuse the caster's weapon with the power of fire, causing the weapon to gain additional fire magic damage." After Old Kuru finished speaking, he combined this magic spell with the magic spell in detail. Explain the simpler magic circle to me in detail.

After listening to Old Kuru's detailed description, I discovered that although this skill is simpler and easier to learn than "Shadow Cloak", this magic skill already involves the unique insights of the orc shaman and witch doctor on magic elements. It only relies on the magic circle. The unique magic pattern structure illustrates the uniqueness of this magic.

Old Kuru left me here on the top of the mountain, where no one would disturb me, and it was the best place to practice magic. And he turned into a pile of yellow sand and disappeared into the boulder. It is said that it is an advanced earth escape technique of the orc shaman. Maybe I will never have the chance to learn it in this life. Old Kuru told me that he would come to pick me up before the sun goes down.

I suddenly found that I have a very strong desire to learn new magic. Just like now, I have firmly memorized the magic spell of the 'Fire Tongue Weapon' and the structure diagram of the magic pattern array, and I sat on the boulder and started practicing tirelessly. stand up. In fact, this is an extremely simple primary magic, and the magic value consumed is very low. The magic power in my body is enough to sustain six spells.

It has been nearly two months since I learned the two magics of anti-magic and heating. During this time, anti-magic has been consuming the fire magic force that is constantly generated in my body, causing these magic elements that originally burned me to be consumed. I almost forgot how painful it was to burn. However, the resistance to magic has never become stronger due to the increase in the number of uses. On the contrary, the magic skill of heating has undergone two obvious changes in a row. Each change is during the casting of the spell, which consumes more magic power, but The effect is also very obvious, that is, the magic power gathered in the body is twice as fast as before.

I asked Old Kuru, and he told me that these two changes should be the successful upgrade of the magic skill of heating. If there are two obvious changes, it means that my heating skill has reached level three. The effect of level three heating is: the magic power recovery speed increases by 30%, which means that the magic power recovery speed brought to me by heating is now three times faster than the previous 10%. Note that this is only 30% faster than my current magic power recovery speed. In other words, I have some mental power without a magic pool, and my own concentrated magic power is still very weak.

Even so, every fifteen minutes, I have enough magic points to cast the flame tongue weapon again.

Casting failed!

Casting failed!

Failed!

I can even feel how frustrated I am. After practicing for more than fifty times in a row, I still failed to successfully cast the flame tongue weapon. I carefully and repeatedly pondered the spell I recited to see if there were any flaws, and then repeatedly compared and gestured on the stone slab according to the magic pattern structure diagram on the parchment, but still couldn't find out where the problem was.

Sitting on the edge of the cliff, I have seen the sun sinking over the horizon of the western wilderness. The sunset in the sky looks like a delicious roast chicken. I have been sitting here for a whole day, hungry and thirsty, but I have not made any progress in my new magic skills. At this moment, I can't help but take out the skinning knife in my arms, imagining myself cutting the roast chicken-like sunset, putting the delicious and juicy chicken leg on the plate, and cutting it into pieces with the skinning knife, and wolfing down the delicious chicken. Oh! I touched my rumbling stomach and sighed: I am so hungry!

The magic force in my hand finally gathered enough to cast the Flame Tongue weapon again. While I was chanting the spell, the magic force gathered on my fingertips and concentrated on one point, quickly drawing a perfect magic pattern array. The next moment, the magic pattern array suddenly formed a fist-sized fireball in the air, and "whoosh" it drilled into the blade of the skinning knife in my other hand. The knife made of fine steel turned light red for a while. I could clearly feel that there was a strong and violent fire magic force flowing in the knife.

I'm so angry!

It turns out that when this skill is cast, the weapon in your hand is needed to succeed. I'm really stupid.

"It seems that you mastered it very quickly, my child. Your magic perception is very sharp. You learned this magic in just one day. It's already late. I'll take you back to the caravan." The voice of old Kuru came from behind me.

I shouted in my heart with grief and anger: Dear, do you know that I'm almost starving to death!

...beautiful dividing line...

The silly boy Kuz waited for me for a whole day, but in the end he didn't even get to say a word to me.

I was thrown near the magic caravan by old Kuru. I was so hungry that I was too weak to climb the slow-moving magic caravan. If it weren't for the honest boy Kong Zhen who was assigned by Katarina to see if I could come back tonight, I might have been abandoned in the wilderness of the valley.

Watching me wolf down a whole wheat cake and a large bowl of broth without leaving a drop, the four girls in the dormitory stared at me in amazement. Leah lay on the upper bunk with half of her body sticking out, like a ghost hanging on the ceiling, and then shouted: "Oh my God, Jia, you haven't eaten anything all day, have you?"

"In fact, it is true!" I patted my stomach that was about to burst, and lay on the bed without moving, with my feet on the ground. I felt dizzy and vaguely felt that Catalina gently scalded my feet, then took off my clothes and wiped my face with a hot towel. Not long after, I felt a soft and warm body crawling into the quilt and hugging me tightly.

She put her head on my forehead, her beautiful red hair completely covering my head. She tried to make her tone calmer and said to me softly with grievance: "You walked for a whole day, I thought you would not come back, I thought you would not come back."

I don't know what Katarina and I are at this moment. We have a family relationship of mutual dependence and a friendship of life and death, but there is no love. Who would be crazy to talk about feelings with a five-year-old hairy child who has not fallen out?

The crescent moon rose very late tonight. Our caravan has arrived at the southernmost end of the valley passage of the mountains on the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. Tomorrow morning, the caravan will officially enter the Pai Plateau ruled by the orcs. I even have a huge wooden wall built by the orc tribe coalition at the exit of the valley in my mind. Those logs with a diameter of more than one meter are seven or eight meters high, with sharpened heads on the top, and one by one formed a giant wooden fence. The flag of the orc tribe flying there told me that this will be the world of orcs.
