Lord of Arcane

Chapter 14 Magic Tricks
In Faerûn, if you just ask for spellcasting, there are not many thresholds. Many Netherites can perform 0-level tricks as soon as they are adults, and as long as they are willing to invest time, energy, and money, even an illiterate farmer can be trained. A true mage, although the final achievement may not be high.

Xia Duo was actually not worried about whether he could reach the threshold of casting spells. What he was worried about was not being able to obtain enough self-protection power.

Abandoning Mu Yan's guidance completely, Xia Duo tried to cast spells according to his own understanding of the spell-casting element - concentration. The only spell-casting element he knew temporarily was concentration, so he would focus on the ultimate and follow through.

Xia Duo pulled out a hair and put it on the back of his hand, stopped in front of him, and focused all his attention on one end of the hair, but he didn't think about changing anything in his heart, he just stared and stared again.

The light in the tent at night was not bright, it was just the light of an oil lamp hanging near the door, but Chardeau seemed to think that his hair was so bright because he was so focused.

so as to break the shackles of reality.

But this is not enough to let him contact magic, and he must also use some auxiliary measures, such as meditation, pain stimulation, etc.

Xia Duo wondered if the mages would meditate. His meditation was just a way to sort out the distracting thoughts in his mind. Before crossing the road, he was a writer. When he met Karvin, he often let himself go. Pen.

The same is true now. Xia Duo closed his eyes and meditated, analyzing all his current thoughts one by one, and clarifying those distracting thoughts such as fear of failure, fear of death, yearning for his hometown, etc., and did not want to expel them. This is unnecessary and impossible.

Zoom in on the thought that you want to focus on one point, then open your eyes and stare at the end of your hair.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, Xia Duo felt that the hair seemed to move a bit. If he was on Earth, he would never think so, but in Faerun, everything is possible, Xia Duo will not let the inherent cognition limit him. . (Cognition is different from the three views, the three views are the standpoint, the starting point, and the cognition is all the content obtained from the three views, cognition is changeable, and the three views are hard to change)
"More fire!"

Xia Duo knew that people's energy was limited, and a state of high concentration could not continue indefinitely.

Xia Duo has heard the story of hanging a beam and stabbing a stock since he was a child. He can't hang his head here, but he can stab his stock. Xia Duo took out the iron dagger from his arms and stabbed it hard on his thigh. a bit.

The instant pain made Xia Duo's expression grim, but he smiled.

Because at the moment of pain, he felt a magnificent and energetic structure that spreads between heaven and earth, and even he himself was in this structure.

It's the magic web!Xia Duo immediately thought of this.

In a moment of severe pain, Xia Duo caught a glimpse of the magic net, but that moment only lasted for a short time, and when the magic net disappeared from his perception, Xia Duo felt a little lost, but he quickly remembered what he should do.

Still focusing on the end of the strand of hair, when his eyes felt a little dizzy, Xia Duo stabbed his thigh with a dagger again, this time he felt the magic net again, and more than--

The strand of hair in front of him actually flickered with a little bit of fluorescence.

Xia Duo rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn't his eyesight. He was a little overjoyed and jumped up with excitement. He couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy. .

"Mr. Muyan, I succeeded, Mr. Muyan, I succeeded!"

Opening the curtain, Mu Yan was writing something on a piece of parchment, and when he saw Xia Duo, his expression was a little surprised. Duo suddenly broke in and said it was successful.

"Mr. Muyan, look!" Xia Duo stretched out his hand in front of Mu Yan's eyes. The fluorescence of the hair on the back of his hand was so faint that it was almost invisible, but it did exist, and it was the power of magic.

Mu Yan saw the glowing hair, and his expression was very exciting, "Have you come into contact with the magic net?!"

The tone seemed a little pity, but there was relief.

"Yes, Mr. Mu Yan, is there anything wrong?" Xia Duo was a little nervous, for fear that Mu Yan would say something he didn't want to hear.

"There's nothing wrong with you, you're doing well, it's just that you may not really be fit to be a bard."

Afterwards, Mu Yan explained: "Usually the first spell a bard gets is [phantom sound] or [light spell], these spells also come from the magic net, but they don't need us to understand, just magic obeys us emerges from the heart.

"But your first spell is [Magic Trick]. This spell is usually the first spell obtained by a mage, which means that you have chosen rationality. Maybe you are really suitable to be a mage."

Xia Duo didn't understand why Mu Yan thought it was a [magic trick] to let his hair shine, and why he chose rationality, but he didn't need to know this for the time being, he just needed to confirm that he had reached the threshold of casting spells.

The Long March of Ten Thousand Miles has just taken the first step, but it is a crucial step from scratch. Originally, Xia Duo was still a little worried about whether the earthlings would have magical insulation or something, and now this worry has been swept away. And empty.

I just came into contact with the magic net and attracted the power of the magic net, and now my mood is loose again, Xia Duo can't hold on anymore, and fainted.

Before fainting, Xia Duo only saw Mu Yan's mouth move, as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear it anymore.

……

The next day, Xia Duo woke up from the simple folding bed, covered with a blanket, and just got out of bed, the wound on his thigh was affected. Only then did he realize that the wound had been bandaged.

"Xado, any spell caster needs to be cautious when dealing with magic. You are too messy. If you cast spells too much as soon as you touch the magic net, it will affect your soul. You'd better not try to cast spells these two days."

Mu Yan's concern and reproach came from outside, Xia Duo got up quickly, Mu Yan walked in, holding a lot of things in his hands, including feathers of unknown birds, dry feces, animal claws, horns What.

Put these groceries on the wooden table, Muyan starts to dig things out from the inner pocket of the robe, shiny metal, powder of many colors, and a white crystal, put these things on the other wooden table .

"As for the mage, I can't give you any training. It is a good choice for you to join the mage tower of Lord Savile. After all, you are the descendant of the great arcanist, and you still have some background. Now, I will give you one last gift. , I'm leaving here tomorrow."

It was only then that Xia Duo remembered that he had been here at Muyan for two days, and today was the third day, and the day when the results of the Mage Tower's assessment came out.And Mu Yan also knew this, and hoped that Xia Duo would join the Mage Tower.

"Mr. Muyan, you really don't need to do anything more, I've gained enough in the past two days."

Xia Duo knew very well that Mu Yan treated him like this because Mu Yan thought Xia Duo was also a Karatu, and the tradition of the Karatu was "brothers in the four seas". There are so few Karatu people in Faerun, and Mu Yan is a karate. Yanshen, as a senior, naturally has a little responsibility for leading the way to the junior.

but--

Shado is not from Karatu!

　ps: Let’s take a look at the relationship. Xia Duo is from Earth Huaxia. There is a game on Earth with maps such as Faerun and Karatu. Karatu is designed with Huaxia as the prototype. After crossing to the real Faerun continent, Xia Duo met. To a real Karatu, Muyan, who is considered to be a Karatu, is the most direct reason for Muyan's friendliness to the protagonist.
