Chapter 14: Magic trick

In Faerun, if you only require spells, there are actually not many thresholds. Many color-resistant people can perform level 0 tricks as soon as they are adults. As long as they are willing to invest time, energy, and money, even an illiterate farmer can be cultivated. The real mage, although the final achievement may not be high.
　　 Xia Duo didn't worry much about whether he could enter the threshold of casting spells. What he was worried about was not getting enough self-protection power.
　　 Putting aside Mu Yan's guidance completely, Xia Duo tried to cast the spell according to the element of the spell he understood-focus. The only element he knew for the time being was focus, so he would focus on the extreme and follow through.
　　 Natsuo pulled out a piece of 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 want to change 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 from an oil lamp hanging near the door, but Chateau seemed to think that his hair was so bright because of the concentration.
　　 so much that it broke the shackles of reality.
　　 But this is not enough to expose him to magic, and some auxiliary measures must be used, such as meditation, painful stimulation, etc.
Xia Duo didn’t know if the mages could meditate. His meditation was just a way to sort out the distracting thoughts in his mind. Before crossing, he was a writer. When he met Cavin, he often let go of himself. After eliminating distracting thoughts, he again Start writing.
　　 The same is true now. Xia Duo closed his eyes and meditated, analyzing all the current thoughts one by one, clarifying all the distracting thoughts of worrying about failure, fear of death, yearning for hometown, etc., and did not want to expel them. This is unnecessary and impossible.
　　 zoomed in on the mind that wanted to focus on one point, then opened his eyes and stared at one end of the hair.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Xia Duo felt that this hair seemed to move. He would never think so if he were on earth, but in Faerun, everything is possible. Xia Duo would not let his inherent cognition limit himself. . (Cognition is different from the three views. The three views are the standpoint and the starting point. The cognition is all content derived from the three views. Cognitive changes and the three views are difficult to change)
　　 "Add more fire!"
　　 Xia Duo knows that people's energy is limited, and the state of high concentration cannot continue indefinitely. At this moment, he must put more fire and push.
I don’t know how many times Xia Duo has heard it since he was a child. You can’t hang the beam, but you can stab it. Xia Duo took out the iron dagger from his arms and stabbed it on his thigh. a bit.
　　 The momentary pain made Xia Duo look awkward, but he smiled.
　　 Because at the moment of pain, he felt a magnificent and energetic structure, spreading between the sky and the earth, and even he himself was in this structure.
　　 is the magic net! Xia Duo thought of this immediately.
　　 For a moment of severe pain, Xia Duo caught a glimpse of the magic net, but that moment only lasted a short time, and when the magic net disappeared into his perception, Xia Duo was a little lost, but he quickly remembered what he should do.
　　 still focused on the end of the hair. When feeling that his eyes were a little dazzling, Xia Duo stabs his thigh with a dagger again. This time he felt the magic net again, and more than--
　　 The hair in front of his eyes actually flickered with a little fluorescence.
Xia Duo rubbed his eyes and was sure that it wasn't because his eyes were dazzling. He was a little overjoyed and jumped up with excitement. He couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy. At this moment, Xia Duo thought of Mu Yan in the other compartment of the tent .
　　 "Mr. Muyan, I succeeded, Mr. Muyan, I succeeded!"
Opening the door curtain, Mu Yan was writing something on a piece of parchment. When he saw Xia Duo, his expression was a little surprised. He was just in the process of creating, and he did not perceive such weak magic net fluctuations. Duo broke in suddenly and said it was successful.
　　 "Mr. Muyan, look!" Xia Duo stretched out his hand in front of Muyan's eyes. The fluorescence of the hair on the back of his hand was so weak that it was almost invisible, but it did exist and was the power of magic.
　　 Muyan saw this shiny hair with a wonderful expression, "Have you touched the magic net?!"
The tone of 　　 seemed a pity, but it was also comforting.
　　 "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 is nothing wrong, you did a good job, but you may really not be suitable to be a bard."
Afterwards, Mu Yan explained: "Usually the first spell acquired by a bard is [phantom sound] or [light spell]. These spells also come from the magic net, but they don’t need us to understand. It’s just that magic follows us. Appeared in his heart.
　　 "But your first spell is [Magic Trick]. This spell is usually the first spell obtained by a mage. This means that you have chosen rationality. Perhaps you are really suitable to become a mage."
　　 Xia Duo didn't understand why Mu Yan thought of making his hair shine as a "magic trick", why he chose rationality, but he didn't need to know this for the time being, he only had to confirm that he had reached the threshold of casting spells.
The Long March 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 earth’s people would be magical insulators. Now this worry is also gone. And empty.
　　I just came into contact with the magic net, which triggered the power of the magic net, and now his mood suddenly loosened, Xia Duo couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.
Before 　　 fainted, Xia Duo only saw Mu Yan's mouth move, as if he was saying something ~EbookFREE.me~ but he couldn't hear it anymore.
　　……
　　 The next day, Xia Duo woke up from a simple folding bed, covered with a blanket. Just getting out of bed, he affected the wound on his thigh. Only then did he discover that the wound had been bandaged.
　　 "Chateau, any spellcaster needs to be cautious about magic. You are too messy. You just touched the magic net and overcast the spell, which will affect your soul. You'd better not try to cast spells in the past two days."
Mu Yan's voice of concern and reproach came in from outside, Xia Duo quickly got up, Mu Yan walked in, holding a lot of things in his hands, there were feathers of unknown birds, dry feces, animal claws, and horns. What.
Put these groceries on the wooden table, Mu Yan began to dig out things from the inner pocket of the robe, shiny metal, powder of various colors, and a white crystal, and put these things on another wooden table. .
"Regarding the mage, I can’t give you any training. It’s a good choice for you to join Lord Savile’s mage tower. After all, you are a descendant of the Great Arcanist, and you still have some background. Now, I’ll give you one last gift. , I will leave here tomorrow."
　　 Xia Duo only then remembered that he had been here in Muyan for two days. Today is the third day, and it is also the day when the assessment result of the Mage Tower came out. And Mu Yan knew this, and hoped that Xia Duo would join the Mage Tower.
　　 "Mr. Muyan, you really don't need to do anything. I have gained enough in these two days."
Xia Duo knew well that Mu Yan treated him this way because Mu Yan believed Xia Duo was also a Karatu, and the tradition of the Karatu people is "brothers in the four seas". There are so few Karatu people on the Falun mainland. As a senior, Iwasho naturally has a little responsibility to lead the way.
　　But--
　　 Chateau is not from Karatu!
