Chapter 623: The Way of the Mage
【You are dead】
When the cold system prompts rang in Huang Feifan's ears, he was completely confused.
There is only darkness left in front of you, and except for the option to confirm returning to the upper interface to re-create the character in the field of vision, everything is empty. This kind of picture may make some unlucky people feel a little familiar, but for everyone from opening the server to
For Huang Feifan, who has never died once before, he is nothing but a stranger.
He is pitiful, he is helpless, he wants to curse...
【How the hell did I die?】
After coming back to his senses, Huang Feifan did not choose to immediately return to the login interface to rebuild the task, but carefully reflected on it in this seemingly endless darkness.
He at least wanted to figure out why he was so cold!
Huang Feifan fell into deep thought...
He remembered that he reacted immediately after discovering that the opponent had a mage coming to support him. He used the [Wind, Fire, and Thunder] that he had only practiced a few times in his spare time and divided it into three, selflessly switching between the main body and the clone.
Switching back and forth between them, he actually got rid of the difficult dog man, and successfully bullied the mage who was at least old enough to be his grandfather while only being dragged down by one clone.
Then……
In a trance, he seemed to see the mage hastily waving his staff and summoning a ring of resistance fire on the spot. Yes, it was a ring of resistance fire!
But it doesn't matter, even though my blood volume was not high at the time, I wouldn't be severely damaged by an ordinary mid-level magic, so I just threw a punch and blasted a gap in the round of fire.
Bully the opponent and prepare to use [Cun Jin] to finish him off.
And then……
The old mage seemed to sigh, lowered the smoky staff, raised his other arm and punched himself quickly.
God really punched himself!!
That's a mid-level mage, right? It's an old human mage, right? It's a theoretically powerless mage, right?
What's the point of punching yourself!
Forget about the punch, but after the punch, the old man not only did not die, but he, a high-level monk, was blown away by an unreasonable force. What happened?
Even if my physical fitness is a bit low, even if the skill [Inch Strength] does not have a strong judgment, it is still a bit too fantasy for a mid-level mage to knock away a monk with his fist.
?Even in this game with a relatively fantasy world view, it’s a bit too fantasy, right?
after that……
The last impression I had was a sharp pain and a 'pop' sound as my health returned to zero.
At the moment before the world went dark, Huang Feifan vaguely saw something that looked like a large step drill coming out of his chest. It was covered with bright red blood and... and he couldn't see clearly because the system prompted
The tone had already sounded, and then there was no more.
Feeling uncomfortable, wronged, unhappy, wanting to cry...
When he thought that he had completed his gaming career in the past six months, Huang Feifan was almost swallowed up by negative emotions, but he still relied on his remaining rationality to choose to return to the upper level interface, preparing to create a new character and replace his few.
The brothers' friends have returned, not to mention whether they will continue to play or not, but at least they should tell the brothers the news they just got, so that they can be careful not to suffer losses.
An extremely difficult bitch who knows how to use strange weapons, and an old mage who, although he only has intermediate strength, can blow away a high-level monk like himself with one punch!
Huang Feifan sadly and angrily left the current empty interface and went to rebuild the character...
Even if you fall into trouble, you still have to remind others to be careful not to capsize in the gutter!
It can be seen that although the conduct of these people in the world of innocence is not very good, they were not superficial brothers that are very common on the Internet. If they did not really miss the other people, half a year of hard work would be in vain in an instant.
How could Huang Feifan force himself to build a character to remind others?
It's a pity that Huang Feifan didn't know that his brothers who were still alive would face far more weird things than this.
…
"Quickly release your transformation!"
Without even looking at the body fluttering in the wind on the [Altaïr's Blade, Giant Destroyer], Jadeka rushed to the girl's side, glared and urged loudly: "Hurry up!"
The girl curled her lips and threw Huang Feihong's wide-eyed body to the ground. She frowned at Jadeka and said, "You are so annoying, old man."
"Yes, yes, I'm annoyed, my old guy, so little ancestor, please hurry up and remove one of the Wang's Claws or Madness!"
Jadeka anxiously grabbed the Giant Destroyer from Yaya's hand, which was no less heavy than a small dragon, and said anxiously: "Hurry up! Although the backlash was not that strong during the previous experiment, but
That was actual combat just now!"
Yaya rolled his eyes, shook his ears and hummed: "I know, I know, don't make such a fuss, okay?"
Then the girl took a deep breath, and the strong sense of presence and oppression in her body instantly disappeared. Her red eyes, which had quietly turned into vertical pupils at some point, returned to normal. She looked in front of her with a look of disgust and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old mage: "Okay?"
"Okay, that's fine. Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Jadeka chuckled and rubbed Yaya's hair, his eyes full of pampering and love.
Snapped!
However, the girl slapped the old man's hand away angrily, and said with bared teeth: "Old Jia, you really think of me as your daughter, right? If you want, go find an aunt and have one by yourself, don't be stupid here."
"Hey, you said this, how can I treat you as my daughter?"
Jadeka spread his hands innocently, blinked and said, "I treat you as my granddaughter."
"oh."
Yaya nodded, then pulled Jadeka's wrist expressionlessly, and then...
boom!
Arm throw!
Bang!
Avalanche style over-the-shoulder throw!
Boom!
Neck-breaking arm!
Click!
Choke hold!
Bang!
Abdominal twisting back throw!
"Old thing..."
After finishing the rather cool fighting skills just now, Yaya Feng clapped his hands lightly and glanced at Jadeka who was lying on the ground: "Are you dead?"
"it's okay no problem."
Jadeka casually used some force and bounced up from the ground. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't look at me like this, my body is actually quite strong."
Ya Ya laughed dryly and said nothing.
Although I don't know what Jadeka means by saying "Don't look at me like this", his definition of the word "tough" is definitely different from ordinary people.
It was not an accident that Jadeka was able to defeat Huang Feifan with one punch just now, but the result of his insistence on exercising during this period. As for the reason for exercising, this goes back to more than a month ago. The old gentleman was concentrating on practicing the intermediate level.
A magical afternoon.
That afternoon, there was lightning and thunder, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down...
Mr. Jadeka, who was studying the "Garland of Flames" at the Mage Guild practice ground in Anka Market, suddenly frowned after finishing a spell and found that his shoulders were a little sore.
It happened that at this moment, two high-level mages who were about the same age as him were passing by not far away, chatting very loudly...
"The pain in my legs has been unbearable for the past two days. I think I should go to the Alchemist Association to get some plaster for external application."
"What a coincidence, I happened to be planning to go there to buy two bottles of blood-activating agent. I've been feeling chest tightness and dizziness lately."
"Then let's go together. Alas, I really envy the good physiques of those warrior knights. The deputy leader of our mercenary group is over sixty years old this year. He is a human being. He can run faster than I can ride a horse."
"Hey, how are you comparing yourself to others? How many of us mages are in good shape? We study this experiment and that every day. The load of magic on the body is so strong. It would be good if we can run two steps without gasping for breath."
"But we really need to be careful. Don't forget that the higher the level of magic, the greater the load on the body. If you don't take good care of your body, you may have problems even casting spells in the future."
"That's right. By the way, it is said that Master Thasos has done some research on health preservation. Why don't we pay a visit directly after we return from the Apothecary Guild?"
"OK!"
The two of them walked up the spiral staircase slowly while chatting, not as fast as Wang Ba Guang.
Jadeka, who overheard the conversation between the two, was shocked and suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something very important!
That is, for a mage, it is very easy for his physical fitness to fail to keep up with his strength!
As we all know, compared with warriors, knights and other melee professions known for their physical strength, the physical fitness of spellcasters is often much weaker. Except for the "enhancement shaman" who is accustomed to using the power of elements to directly strengthen the body,
Regardless of the spellcasting professions such as mages, warlocks, summoners, clergy, etc., there are physical flaws in the body. Frequent research and experiments, long-term meditation, and repeated mobilization of magic power in the body will have a negative impact on the bodies of spellcasters.
It's a heavy load. Even an orc male in his prime, as long as his profession is a mage, may find it difficult to defeat an ordinary goblin rogue in hand-to-hand combat over time.
For the above reasons, as age and strength increase, the physical fitness of spellcasters tends to gradually decline. From a real-world perspective, they are like a combination of academics and nerds, although they must be physically stronger.
It is stronger than the former, but in the realm of innocence, a rather fantasy world of high demons, its physical strength is still the same as that of those abandoned houses in reality. To put it simply, it is weaker than others.
Of course, they also possess a lethality that is beyond the reach of most melee professionals. They are also legendary powerhouses. If a sword master wants to destroy a city, it will take at least several hours. But if it is replaced by a sword master,
As long as the mage can be allowed to cast spells at will, it will only take half an hour at most.
However, what troubles the majority of spell casters is that although they have elegant and powerful mystical skills, those powerful spells still require physical support. They do not need to be strong, but at least they must be healthy, otherwise they must cast an epic level.
The load that the spell needs to bear is enough to destroy a sick man who has difficulty walking normally.
The words of those two mages made Jadeka suddenly enlightened, and then he was frightened for a while!
He smiled bitterly, thinking that when he was a low-level mage, he could only use low-level magic such as fireball, flying flames, and fire wall, so the load on his body was infinitely close to zero. Naturally, he couldn't detect any clues, but
After using Ji Xiaoge's chili noodles to stand on the same starting line as everyone else, I will also encounter the problems that normal spell casters have to face, such as spell casting load, physical weakness, etc.
If it hadn't been for the inadvertent reminders from those two seniors, I might have never been aware of the problem, leading to a big mistake!
Just imagine, I have just been promoted to an intermediate mage for a few months, and I have only used intermediate magic a few times, but I already feel some pain in my shoulders. What if it takes a long time?
This must not go on like this!
Jadka, who had made it his lifelong ambition to become a Niuji mage, naturally could not tolerate this kind of thing, so he decided to pay great attention to this issue.
But how to do it?
Most spellcasters are mainly divided into two factions when it comes to improving their physical fitness.
The first is to find or collect at a high price some heavenly and earthly treasures and alchemy potions that can improve your physical condition, and use external force to improve your physical strength, blood, and energy. The advantage is that you can get immediate results, and you can replenish it after you eat it.
The Volcano Warm Sun Grass you asked for can help you grow some muscles on the spot after taking it. The disadvantage is that it is expensive. After all, they are looking for the kind of good things that can turn an abandoned house into a strong one. The price is naturally
Not much cheaper.
The second type is suitable for those relatively poor spell casters. It can be said to be almost zero cost, but the results are very slow and require perseverance. To put it simply, go to bed early and get up early every day, remember to eat on time, replenish nutrition in a balanced way, and take time to bask in the sun.
Eat a full meal in the morning, go for a run in the evening, have a glass of milk before going to bed, and drink plenty of hot water every day. This method can also play a role in strengthening your physical fitness.
However, Jadeka's choice is different from this group of people.
In his concept, there is a huge gap between the concept of 'enhancing physical fitness' and that of other spell casters.
Ever since, after discovering the importance of good health to a mage, he immediately left the Mage Guild and returned to the hotel where the Wangwang team stayed at Anka Market to do 60 sets of push-ups and 60 sets of sit-ups.
I sat down and did sixty sets of squats to warm up my body. Then I went to the East District and bought a pair of two-handed war hammers with a single handle weighing about 200 kilograms. I ran around the Anka Market while carrying the two sledgehammers.
After that, I took a trip to the Galaxy River next to Millier Avenue and swam for fifteen kilometers (carrying a hammer), and finally trotted back carrying a three-pound Galaxy River crayfish (and carrying a hammer).
Ankh Bazaar.
When Jadeka ran back to the hotel where everyone was temporarily staying, it was only three hours since he left the Magicians Guild...
"The way of a mage is really hard."
That night, after talking about the truth that "the most important thing for a mage is physical fitness", Jadeka was doing the nineteenth set of one-finger handstands in the center of the room, while inviting the stunned Mo Tan and the dumbfounded Yaya:
"Would you like to practice together?"
As a knight, Mo Tan shook his head stiffly and staggered back half a step.
And Ya Ya, who was a melee professional like Mo Tan, even shivered and ran away with a cry.
"Why don't you warm up with me? It will be good for you too."
The old mage, who was bare-chested and with gnarled muscles, shrugged his shoulders, completed the last set of one-finger handstands with a gorgeous somersault, shook his head and walked out carrying a pair of war hammers totaling 400 kilograms.
He said he wanted to run another 20 kilometers before meditating...
