Chapter 4: Wake up

　　Richard sat up abruptly from the bed, opened his eyes and stared at the dim front, gasping heavily. His back was wet with cold sweat. Richard subconsciously wiped his forehead with his hand, and a moist touch came from his fingers.
　　 Is it raining outside?
　　 He looked at the window, the glass was covered with misty water vapor. The sound of pattering rain echoed in my ears, and the echo of water droplets hitting the eaves and falling to the ground. The magic tower will dispel storms in the sky and prevent flying creatures from approaching, but will not prevent wind, frost, rain, snow, and even the transformation of stars from day to night.
　　 I don't know when, the sky has dimmed, and it is night.
　　 Richard couldn't help sighing. The scene in the nightmare actually happened in reality, and it was when he first came to this world.
　　 It was Novih Rasputin who rescued him. He came to explore an ancient ruins after he got the news. As a result, he was buried in the soil on a nearby hill because of the age and the repeated visits of thieves. At that time, the young people had weak breathing, lost their will, and were dying, even unable to even call for help.
　　 If it weren't for Rasputin's appearance, he might really be about to die at the very beginning of life in another world and become the most miserable protagonist of the journey.
　　 After that, Rasputin and the youth came to the black tower. Richard learned the language of another world from the beginning, falsely claiming that he was a wanderer from a distant country, and lost all his memories.
　　 This argument is full of loopholes, but Mr. Rasputin doesn't care. He seemed to think that the youth who appeared near the ancient ruins had something to do with it, and he was not reconciled to go back with nothing, so he chose to let Richard become his apprentice, hoping to discover the secret from him.
　　 And unfortunately, he quickly confirmed and discovered that his student really didn't have any peculiarities-if this guy's magical talent can only be described as tragedy.
　　 This is what Richard worries about the most. After that, he never saw Rasputin's face again, and the other party seemed to have completely forgotten himself. It's fine if it's just that, but what if the other party thinks of himself one day and asks him to get out of here?
　　 During the time he lived in the magic tower, Richard had already seen the very bad side of the world. He didn't think he could continue to survive after he escaped the protection of the legendary wizard.
　　 The world is not like this everywhere. Richard has heard that there are rich and powerful kingdoms on earth, and cities that emphasize order and justice-at least on the surface. The reason is that it is a place that is favored and watched by the gods.
　　 There are "gods" in this world, and there is more than one. Although only a few people can witness these great men, their existence is real and beyond doubt.
　　 In short, in places where the true is worshipped and believed, if this is on the side of the "right god", order will be valued and the lives of citizens will be more stable.
However, the sight of the gods seems to seldom pay attention to the magic tower. It is not uncommon for people who are dead or even heinous to be in the tower, because it is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, it is a "free city" that allows darkness and evil to exist, and wizards are generally A group of egoists who are indifferent to others and the outside world.
　　 As a weak mortal who has just entered a different world, Richard was drawn to the Novice Village.
　　……
　　 "One year has passed since I came to the Black Tower... As for the distance to the Mayan world, it is one year and one month."
　　 It seems that the facts are already obvious. He does not have the talent to become a wizard. If this continues, I am afraid he will only be a mediocre apprentice for the rest of his life. In the past, he still had unrealistic illusions, but the reality was far more cruel than imagined. Richard stretched out his palms.
　　 "It's weird. If it's physiological structure, I am no different from human beings in this world. But the reason why the talent is so bad is that there is a deeper level, such as genetic differences?"
　　 he thought silently.
　　 Richard comes from a world where no wizards and magic exist. He is a 21st century earthling. The name "Richard" was chosen casually according to the customs of this world.
　　 He has very vague memories of how he traversed, and he is completely confused about the cause and effect. He was trekking in the wilderness with Novih the next day and only confirmed that he had really come to another world when he saw three suns hanging in the sky.
　　 But one thing is certain: he traveled through his body.
　　 "In the novels I've read before, this kind of situation is still rare...It is usually the "soul wear" of souls. If that were the case, the situation would probably be a lot better?"
　　 If Richard’s body is an aboriginal in another world, he would now doubt if there is something else in his body absorbing his own magic power, UU reading www.uukānshu. com, for example, a "ring inhabiting the soul of an ancient powerful wizard" or something-as long as the time is right, he can reach the pinnacle of life under the guidance of the other party.
　　 But unfortunately, no one knows his body better than Richard, it's a complete original product. Because of the rare feature of black hair and dark eyes, they often receive some unnecessary attention.
　　 Fortunately, there seem to be various races in this world, and there are even intelligent species outside of human beings, such as elves and dwarfs, but this has not caused trouble.
　　 Precisely because it was a physical traversal, he actually had a vague idea about the reason for his miserable talent as a wizard. This world is full of "magic elements", which is something that does not exist on the earth, and it is also the source of the wizards' extraordinary abilities.
Although Richard was only a student in the past, this does not prevent him from making certain speculations as a contemporary who has received popular education in modern science: the human beings in this world can find a career path that uses magic elements to exert their power, obviously. A performance of adapting to the environment.
Their ancestors were exposed to an environment full of magic elements for years and months, and the body naturally produced some adaptive changes. This change was passed on and accumulated through generations of blood genes, which may determine the level of magic power. The key factor.
　　 Of course, according to the law of inheritance, it is normal for the offspring to have differences in traits. This is the so-called "talent". And his own body, which has not been affected by any magic element, naturally has no talent at all.
　　 "But it’s my own body after all, so it’s fine... If I really become a'other person,' maybe there will be cognitive confusion..."
　　 He just seemed to comfort himself in his heart like this.
