After a normal adventurer group successfully applies, they will usually take on a few missions on the spot as a token of appreciation.
But the freedom group that Al belongs to has no such "idea".
After all, they are a guild in name, but in reality they are just a small group, a small group with only three people and only two of them with actual combat power.
Hopnos said coldly to Al: "If it were normal, we should take on two tasks now to let others know you. But considering that you are just an ordinary person, we will go back and find a way to make you a magician first."
Chris said happily: "Great, let's go to the guild headquarters."
"good!"
…
"Put your hand on this and see your magic affinity."
Looking at the seemingly similar crystal ball in front of him, Al thought for a while and then put his hand on it.
This crystal ball is very similar to the one Eric used for Al, but the level between the two is different.
Eric's Noble Phantasm can not only measure the affinity of magic power, but can even see how far away other magic powers are from him.
The crystal ball that Chris took out could only see the magic powers closest to Al within a certain distance.
If it were at the beginning, this crystal ball might not show anything, but Al's more than a year of "meditation" was not in vain.
The distance between those magic powers and himself has been shortened by half compared to before, and the dark magic power has been shortened by two-thirds.
When Al put his hand on it, the crystal ball first lit up faintly black, which showed that he was more interested in dark magic.
Just as Hopnos and Chris were surprised, the crystal ball lit up with red light, which showed that the fire magic was also very friendly to him.
As soon as the red light lit up, the yellow light also lit up, which showed that Al's affinity for earth magic was not low.
After waiting for a while, the crystal ball no longer lit up with any other light.
"It seems that you can learn fire and earth magic." Hopnos said coldly. As for dark magic, he discarded this option from the beginning.
He did not target Al because of his high affinity for dark magic. After all, one out of every twenty people had a high affinity for dark magic.
But so what?
Having a high affinity does not mean that you must learn dark magic. Let’s not mention that there are only a few types of dark magic. Just practicing dark magic alone will 90% of the body be corroded by dark magic, and there is also the risk of falling.
Not many people want to practice dark magic.
Except for the black magician.
Although the magic attributes are different, the magic performed is also different. Because of the different levels, the cost of learning magic will also increase exponentially.
But if you just learn the lowest level of magic, you don't need to pay much.
In just half a day's work, Chris brought two books, one of which recorded the basic magic of the fire system, and the other recorded the earth system.
Chris said to Al: "These are books that record magic, but you should meditate now, because only when your mental power is enough to build a magic circle in your mind, you can cast magic."
Although Al has strong mental power, since he has never cast magic, he has only a limited understanding of many basic magic knowledge.
Although Hopnos has never tried to teach anyone magic, he is a real high-level magician.
His level is here. No matter what, it should be no problem for Al to become a magic apprentice.
Al had read many books about meditation and becoming a magician before in the Tang family.
However, he was too young at that time and had no understanding of magic at all, so when he read those books, he simply read the words on them.
But things are different now. After two years of accumulation, Al's knowledge base about magic has improved a lot.
Therefore, books that were difficult for him to understand before can now be understood.
It took half a day to read all those books, and then he asked Hopnos: "To perform magic is to use mental power to build a magic circle in your mind, and use this to attract the magic power that matches you.
"
"Why do you need to chant and use a wand when you can do magic this way?"
Hopnos was stunned for a moment and said: "The purpose of chanting is actually to give yourself a special 'hint' when performing magic. After all, the magic arrays are different and the magic performed is also different. Through my own chanting, I guarantee that
You won’t build the wrong magic circle yourself.”
"Of course, if you are very in tune with magic and your mental power is strong enough, you can cast magic normally even without chanting. However, under normal circumstances, this requires casting magic many times and having a good understanding of various magics.
"
"I see." Al thought to himself.
Hopnos continued: "As for the magic wand, it is equivalent to a strengthener, which allows you to clearly feel your mental power. In this way, the speed of building a magic circle will also increase, and the speed of casting magic will naturally increase. And the mental power will also increase.
The force will also become sensitive, and the magic circle constructed in this way will be more delicate, so the power of the magic performed will also be enhanced."
"It's the same principle. If you have been performing a certain magic for a long time and are very familiar with the magic circle, you don't need to chant or use a magic wand, because you already know enough about this magic circle."
"That's the legendary mastery level." Al asked him.
"You're right. Strictly speaking, it's about brushing up on proficiency. Once the proficiency is reached, that kind of magic has become a kind of subconscious. It's completely possible to subconsciously perform magic of this level."
"Ahem!" At this point, Hopnos felt that he was going off topic, so he coughed twice and returned to the topic: "What you have to do now is meditate. When will you notice your mental power?
Come and talk to me again when the time comes."
Al originally wanted to tell Hopnos directly that he could now feel spiritual power, and even the intensity of his spiritual power had reached the level of an intermediate magician.
But considering that this kind of thing is quite shocking, even if he said it, few people would believe it.
So Al decided to wait a few days before telling him.
Al made up his mind and decided to start building a magic circle.
Before that, because Eric had never taught him, and even apart from measuring his magic affinity and mental strength at the beginning, he never took care of him again.
Therefore, building the magic circle still needs to be completed bit by bit.
Al didn't plan to chant, he wanted to build a magic circle directly.
After all, although chanting can help people quickly build a magic circle, it also tells others which magic they are casting.
Moreover, the magic circle he wants to build is only the most basic magic. If he will fail even if he has the mental power of an intermediate magician, then he should really reflect on himself.
Building a magic circle is not as simple as imagined. Al needs to condense his mental power into substance and then leave the prototype of the magic circle in his mind.
Magic apprentices are prone to failure at the beginning because their mental strength is not strong enough and their mental power is also insufficient.
But who is Al? Will he fail? Of course he will, after all, he has never been exposed to a magic circle before.
Fortunately, there is a lot about magic circles in the book, so even he, without remembering the consumption of mental energy, finally built a prototype of a magic circle in his mind.
However, although this prototype of a magic circle is useful, the effect is not obvious.
At least Al didn't feel it was of any use.
Al wondered if something was wrong, and then he continued to look through the books about magic.
After looking at it for a long time and not seeing any clue, Al decided to leave it at that for now.
While Al was immersed in training alone, Chris and Hopolos were discussing things together.
"Are you sure he really activated the magic wand at that time?" Hopenos asked him with some suspicion.
Chris said righteously: "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that those people will never dare to lie to me."
"Yes, after all, you are..." Hopnos was interrupted by Chris before he could finish his words.
"Now is not the time to talk about me. Why didn't Al just tell you that he has psychic powers?"
Seeing Chris changing the subject, he said no more, after all, what he was going to say before was almost everyone knew.
Now that the topic has shifted to Al again, Hopenos decided to evaluate this person seriously.
"As far as his style is concerned, I think he's pretty good, but it remains to be seen how talented he is."
"I think so too, and when we met at that time, he knew that I practiced magic and fighting spirit at the same time. Either he had an expert behind him to help him, or he could use the Noble Phantasm, but as you know, ordinary people can hardly use the Noble Phantasm.
"
Listening to Chris's words, Hopenos thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter, he has moved here anyway, and didn't you arrange for some people to take care of his daily life? Just let those people pay a little attention."
"That's right." Chris nodded, agreeing with what the other person said.
After spending two days alone building a magic circle, Al decided to ask professionals for this kind of thing.
After all, just reading the knowledge in books would not be of much help to him in learning magic.
"Hoporos, I feel my spiritual power. I tried to build a magic circle before, but I don't know why. The magic circle I built feels useless."
Because he and Chris had discussed Al's matter before, Hopenos felt that Al should have had mental power for a long time, but he didn't tell him at the time.
Therefore, he did not doubt after hearing Al's words, and said directly to him: "In this case, you can build a magic circle now and let me see it."
Al started colluding with the magic circle directly in front of him.
Because the magic circle was constructed in his own mind using mental power, Hopros couldn't figure out why.
A few minutes later, Al said to Hopenos: "I've built it, what do I do next?"
"You try moving it outside." Hopenos said.
This was the first time Al heard this theory. He was a little confused and asked Hopnos: "How to take it out?"
"Think with your head!"
"Uh!" Al didn't know why at all.
Then he asked Hopnos: "Since we have to move the magic circle out of the mind in the end, why not build the magic circle outside the body from the beginning?"
Hopnos looked at Al with some admiration: "I originally thought you were a brainless person, but I didn't expect that you would also use your brain to think."
"..."
"Yes, although the magic circle built with mental power must be removed from the body in the end, a magic apprentice like you does not have enough mental power to build a magic circle outside, because you can't even release your mental power.
, even if you are lucky enough to do it, when building the magic circle, your mental power will be consumed exponentially, so I will let you build the magic circle in your mind first, and finally take it out."
"..." After thinking for a moment, Al said to Hoplos: "I'll do some research."
Although he doesn't know how to put the magic circle constructed with mental power outside, since the ultimate goal is to move the magic circle out of the body, then why can't he directly use mental power to build the magic circle outside the body, which also saves him from thinking about how to build the magic circle with mental power.
The magic circle was taken out of the body.
Even Hopnos said that building magic in the mind is just a process, and it has to be removed eventually. Then I can completely build a magic circle outside my body. After all, my mental strength is completely sufficient.
After having an idea, he immediately took action. This chapter has been completed!
