Act 40 Learning Magic
On the way, the pastor Nordiff, who received the order from Dilit Ann, bullied Bai Gang without knowing anything. He walked to Bai Gang openly and released [Detection of Evil] at him, but naturally he had no response.
Bai Gang rode a horse to the side of the mage Annu and walked side by side with him.
"Master Annu, shouldn't this be the territory of the undead? Why are there only a few skeleton soldiers?"
Annu said: "It should be that they were all pulled to the Echo Canyon by the high-level undead. After all, they don't need to guard the border like our human kingdom."
"That is, there will be no danger before reaching the portal?"
"It's almost the same. It's often the case in the Undead Kingdom, either there are only a sparse group or there are huge numbers of people gathering together."
"Since there is not too much danger, Master Annu, do you mind guiding my magic? I want to add a little more strength before reaching the portal."
Annu thought for a while and suddenly realized, "By the way, you said that you have the talent of magic. Sorry, I have always regarded you as a swordsman, and I almost forgot that you can actually use magic."
Although she did not show it on her face, Annu did not agree with Bai Gang's so-called magical talent. She is almost thirty years old and can only have a [God-given Power]. What else can she expect from such magic qualifications?
Speaking of which, although this count has a righteous heart and is willing to go on this life-threatening expedition with them, his strength is really too poor.
Magic only knows the lowest level [God-given Power], and swordsmanship does not know how to fight, this is simply not good! No matter how well you practice, you can only protect yourself in front of low-level undead.
God knows what kind of hardships this Count's magic and swordsman has experienced before.
The mage Annu was organizing the words to refuse Bai Gang in a more tactful way, but before he could speak, Bai Gang took off his mechanical watch and handed it to him.
"This is my gift, just treat it as a cost for learning magic."
The mage Annu looked at the thing in Bai Gang's hand. It was a very exquisite mechanical item, but there was no magic fluctuation on it, so it should not be a magic item.
Annu was not interested in this non-magical item, but his face changed drastically after hearing Bai Gang's introduction.
“This is a small, lightweight and accurate timing tool.”
“Timer tool?”
The mage Annu stared at the watch strangely. He knew some timing tools, but without exception, they all used magic items with very precise magic arrays. Their common characteristics are - large! Even the lightest ones are the size of a wardrobe.
But now...
Well, there are also small timing tools, such as hourglass, but there is no need to mention the precision of that kind of thing, and I don’t know how accurate this White Earl can achieve.
"The way we in China is to divide a day into 24 hours, and then each hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds. Look at the three pointers here, which represent hours, minutes and seconds respectively. This watch can walk for several years and not a second, as long as you wind it in time."
The mage An Nu was surprised, time, minute, second! He never thought that time could be divided so carefully!
Ordinary magic timers can only be accurate to this level at most, and they have to be recalibrated in less than ten days, not to mention the huge size of those magic timers, which greatly limit the use of magic timers.
But now, if everything is really as Baigang said, then this timer is the priceless treasure of alchemists! Even alchemist apprentices know the importance of precise control of time to alchemy!
The mage Annu swallowed his saliva. He wanted to hold his watch in his hand, but... the other party just wanted to learn some simple battlefield magic from him! He took several apprentice-level battlefield magic to exchange for a priceless treasure... This is too unauthentic! It does not conform to Annu's principles of being a human being!
After thinking about it, he still accepted Bai Gang's watch. Such a magical treasure is hard to come by. If he is asked to give up, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
"It's amazing to teach him more magic and help him find some magic props, if we can all survive..."
Generally speaking, mages are arrogant, and even if they are not fake, Annu is an exception.
He doesn't have the arrogant and arrogant temper of other mages, and he also understands that establishing a good relationship with the nobles can provide him with great help. Running out of the mage tower as a mage consultant to the Karaze family is proof of this.
But although Annu is willing to spend time dealing with the nobles, it does not mean that he has mastered the skills of dealing with the nobles. Coupled with the arrogance engraved in his bones, his communication is quite "straightforward". Even if he has worked hard to organize the words, it still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
But who made him a mage? Compared to other noble people who were too lazy to even give him a straight eye, listening to Annu's straightforwardness was actually a benefit for the nobles.
"Bai Earl, well... Please forgive my straightforwardness. Although you are very persevering, given that you have only learned the magic of [God-given Power] in twenty years, I have to say that your magical talent is really not good."
Bai Gang didn't know what to react to An Nu's judgment. Although this made him uncomfortable, he actually had no idea about his magical strength.
The reason why he was able to learn magic in his previous life was just because of the "Magic Mass Production Plan" of Storm Base.
At that time, researchers at the base discovered that an ancient ruin could guide people to awaken their magical talents, and began to send people into the ruins in large quantities, hoping to harvest a legion of magicians, and Baigang was one of them.
In the ruins, Bai Gang saw the illusion left by ancient people from other worlds. Under the guidance of the illusion, he felt that some kind of power in his body was stimulated, and then he learned the magic of [God-given Power] with the illusion.
The so-called magic is actually trying to control the magic power in the body to form a certain shape of magic loop, then compress and release, and finally the desired magic effect will come out.
It sounds simple, but it is far from easy.
First of all, there are very few people who can awaken magical talent, and there are only one or two out of one hundred people on average. However, talent alone is not enough. If the spirit is not stable enough and the will is not strong enough, the magic power cannot be controlled to complete the configuration of the magic circuit, and the subsequent compression is extremely energy-consuming.
In addition, the configuration of the spell circuit is a complex three-dimensional three-dimensional structure. It cannot be constructed without a certain spatial imagination. If the imagination is too poor, it will seriously drag down the casting speed. If you want to further increase the construction speed, the space geometry must not be bad.
To become a magician, you must have the will of a fighter, the imagination of an artist, and the calculation and rigor of a mathematician. Simply put, it is a master of both arts and science with a big heart...
