Chapter 19 First Appearance
The itinerary is boring. On the road, it can be said that there is nothing except the thick trees, snow, and the occasional birds that startle. The monotonous itinerary can only be used to talk to each other to get rid of loneliness.
Shaoke casually turned the staff in his hand and inserted it into the skin on his back. In his feeling, he had the feeling of a knight walking in the world that he had imagined before. Even if some people felt quite strange, the mages often had various strange tempers that made those who had ideas dare not mention them in front of the mages.
When Master Kiya saw Shaoko's behavior, he learned with great interest. Since he did not carry a leather bag behind him, he had to put the not-so-long staff into the collar of the robe, shook his body and said, "It feels strange, Master Xueye, is there a bag on your back that specializes in using a staff? It seems that when I go back, I ask the merchants to prepare one for me. Otherwise, I am worried that the staff will fall like this."
"Haha!" Shaoke saw another mage carrying a staff on his body for the first time, and looked around strangely. With the impression that he could see other people's comments or something, Shaoke couldn't help but say, "Maybe the knights in that world are like this for the first time! Hehe!"
"Master Xueye, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly, sorry." Mater Kiya did not take off his staff, and followed the team empty-handedly. Because the freshness was circling in his heart, after hearing Shaoko's words, he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "Why does it feel so strange? Is there something missing? Mater Xueye, what do you think?"
"Well! It's a little less, Master Kia, think about it. You have been holding the staff in one hand for many years, and now you suddenly see the staff in your hand running to your back. Of course, this will make you feel that there are fewer things." Shaoke agreed with the other party's guess and explained to him in a more detailed manner the kind of thing they were missing. "Oh! I'm talking! But after a long time, I got used to it." Master Kia suddenly realized.
Master Yijia also noticed Shaoko and the others. After listening to their conversation, he asked with concern: "Master Xueye, if he was like this, could he use the staff quickly when casting spells? In that case, the power would be smaller! After all, the staff is one of our most important tools!"
"Master Yijia, what do you think the staff has? You must need the support of the staff when casting it?" Shaoko asked Master Yijia, hoping that he could give a different answer.
"The magic wand can speed up our speed when casting, the success rate when casting, and can also increase the spirit and magic control of the caster! If a suitable magic array is inlaid on the wand, it can quickly attack the enemy." Mage Yijia lowered his head and explained with his head down, "These are all basic knowledge of learning magic! Snow Night Mage!"
After hearing Master Yijia's answer, Shaoke nodded slightly: "Yes, we knew these things as soon as we came into contact with magic. These answers have been with beginners like us. They will not end until we can successfully release the first spell. However, Master Yijia, do you have any other different opinions?" Shaoke asked this shy companion jokingly.
Such a question made Master Yijia feel his shortcomings even more. He lowered his head and answered Shaoke's inquiry: "No, no, Master Xueye, I...I have no other insights, Master Xueye."
When Master Kiya saw his embarrassing expression, he couldn't help but come out to rescue him and said, "Master Xueye, I don't know what other uses of the staff. Can you explain it to us? Master Yijia and I want to know."
Seeing that it was almost noon, the misty fog had dissipated. If this continues, the team will soon find a camping place for everyone to rest, and will no longer tease their shy companions.
"Master Kia, the staff is actually of no other use, but you should look at things in a different direction. Master Iga, why do we use the staff? It is because the staff can help us, but can the staff be held in our hands to have its effect? Some of the effects of those magical jewelry are no less than those of higher-level staff. They can also be called staff. We hold the staff, which only gives us an additional prop that can help us! As long as the staff is on us, we can exert the effect of the staff. Of course, you have to get used to it to me." Shaoko explained.
"Master Xueye, is there any other use for carrying a staff like this? I...I feel like I have heard of this kind of method there." Master Yijia mustered up the courage to ask the other party.
"Haha! Yes, I remember that more than 700,000 years ago, the famous legendary wizard of freedom: The Legend of Freedom, his full name is: Aesop Yager. Shining Legend. When he was fighting against a mage who was also a legend, his high-level spells were one-fifth faster than the opponent, and those low-level spells were nearly half faster than the speed. It is said that when he released the thirteenth level spell, he was one-fifth faster than the average legendary wizard.
.At first, I thought that the legend of Aesop mastered more spell casting skills than others, but no matter how many, it is impossible to release those spells so quickly. Are the other legendary mages fake? Later, I checked his biography and found some interesting things in it." Shaoko paused for a moment, looked at the doctor Ino who was pricking his ears and eavesdropping, and did not remind him that it was impolite to do so.
Then he continued: "It has been mentioned several times in his biography that Aesop's legend released spells with his hands together. He did not carry this essential prop: the staff. The magical jewelry on his body has reached its limit. He used these magical jewelry to replace the staff, and used them to free up both hands and use them to cast spells. When he casts the spell, he decomposes the handprint into two parts, one hand, or creates a magic seal at the same time with both hands. The former method accelerates the casting speed, and the latter method increases the power of the spell. This is an important reason why he can still win after mastering the same skills as others, or even fewer things. So, I want to learn this method, but now I don't have so many gold coins to buy magic jewelry that is similar to the staff, so I use the staff first and proficient in this method in advance."
Master Yijia was surprised and said, "Oh my God! Master Xueye, have you learned this technique? It's so amazing. Many mages have learned this technique, but they have never heard of any success. Even after reaching the level of the magician, they cannot successfully use this technique! Even if they can do it, they can only break down some low-level magic. You know, this has no effect on them. Well! Maybe the holy level and divine level can learn it!"
After saying that, perhaps he felt something was wrong. Master Yijia quickly lowered his head, and it seemed that he was not planning to say something. Shaoke thought, "It seems that Master Yijia is not a small source! He is either a high-level noble or a magic family. Otherwise, how could he know that those in the magic level cannot use this skill? Will anyone secretly protect him? Confused! What does this matter to me?"
While Shaoko was thinking about something, Master Kiya asked in confusion: "Master Xueye, why have the mentors never mentioned this technique?"
"Master Kia, think about it. After creating this technique from the legend of Aesop, how many mages have learned this technique? Even if some learn it, it only has the effect of releasing low-level spells. There is no record of any mages being able to use this technique in using higher-level spells. Therefore, it is normal for those mentors to know this technique, or they don't know this technique at all." Shaoke had to explain to the other party. "And now, even the mages who know this technique have few practiced it. They would rather wait until they become mages before practicing it. That way they would not be successful! The main reason is that this spell casting technique is too difficult. It not only requires hard practice, but also requires certain talents."
After listening to Shaoko's explanation, Master Kiya touched the staff inserted on his back, hesitated for a while, and asked Shaoko: "Master Snow Night, can I... learn this technique from you? I want to try it. Although my request is abrupt, I still hope that Master Snow Night can help me and Master Yijia for the help of Master Fei and Master Loki."
"Master Kia" Shaoke is in a very unhappy mood now, okay! Use his ex to suppress me, yes! They used to help me, but aren't I helping you to adapt to this environment now? Just like before, Fei, the mage and Loki helped me, but now they are using kindness to threaten me.
"Master Kiya, are these Fei? Do you mean by the mage and Loki? Tell me the reason why you did this." Shaoke asked the other party angrily, was it Fei? The mage and Loki were unwilling to ask me in person, and now let their juniors learn this technique? But this method is not needed!
"No...yes, no, Master Xueye, it's not what you think. This is just my personal thought." Master Chia quickly explained in Shaoko's anger: "I'm sorry, Master Xueye, I shouldn't have made this request rashly. It was me that I was too much." Master Chia felt as if under the black cloak, he was staring at him like a poisonous snake used for the experiment at that time. His body, which was hot due to the march, suddenly became cold.
"No, Master Loki, shouldn't you use the fee? The help of the mage and Master Loki threatened me, don't use their kindness to ask me to help you. That's their business. Besides, I am just like they helped me before. You should reflect on what this behavior is like." Shaoke now felt quite angry, and the more he said, he couldn't suppress his anger. After all, he was a very arrogant person and never liked to be threatened by others. Now that this happens, Shaoke doesn't get angry because he is a companion now. And it's because of this relationship that Shaoke can't control the unhappiness of being threatened.
