() After sleeping in the forest for a night, Xia Han and the two embarked on a journey again. They left the Emerald City on the east coast for a day. After passing through the forest, they entered the endless grassland.
This grassland named Dawn stretches all the way to the west coast of Qilin Continent. Its fertile land is a paradise for countless lives and the place with the highest productivity in the Emerald Empire. The terrain of Qilin Continent is dominated by alpine forests, and the continuous mountains block the airflow from the north to the south.
At the same time, this continent has been hidden from the eyes of the world for a long time.
A thousand years ago, human civilization exploded in the Suzaku Continent, and competition became increasingly fierce. The Xia royal family, which inherited the ancient bloodline, led the people to find another place to live. They entered the Qilin Continent from the northern mountains and discovered during several years of arduous exploration.
With many treasures inside, the Emerald Empire was built.
The sun was warm, and on the lush grassland, the wild grass even covered Xia Han's head.
He carefully followed Bai Xue, peeling away the vines and staring at a white rabbit in the distance, and then swallowed nervously.
Xia Han couldn't help but tell Bai Xue the fact that he was a first-level mage in the morning. However, Bai Xue was not as surprised as he imagined. The reason was that the elves in the Magic Empire also had many children who were born with the ability to cast spells.
In order to prove that his strength is genuine, Xia Han decided to hunt a rabbit.
However, when he saw animals in this world for the first time, he felt nervous. Animals in fantasy novels and other worlds either have magic crystals buried in their bodies or flow with magic power. Will the rabbit in front of him suddenly spit out flames?
"Little guy, it didn't notice us."
Bai Xue lowered herself to Xia Han's side and reminded with a smile: "Take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward. Now is the best time to hunt."
Xia Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Well...you should set an example first!"
He didn't dare to take action casually. The only sure way to determine the rabbit's combat effectiveness was to first look at Bai Xue's movements.
"good."
Bai Xue shrugged, she quickly pulled out the dagger from her waist, and then threw it away.
"squeak--"
The white rabbit flew a few meters away with a terrifying scream and became motionless.
【It's that simple!】
Xia Han blinked. It seemed that his worries were in vain. The rabbits in this world were no different from those on the earth. Of course, they were still a lot bigger.
Bai Xue walked over and picked up the rabbit and then took Xia Han to continue looking for the next target. It didn't take long for a new rabbit to appear in the grass in the distance. This time Xia Han did not hesitate. For the sake of caution, he took a few steps forward.
Ice Arrow.
A fist-sized blue ice arrow flew over and hit the rabbit accurately. Xia Han proudly sighed at his accuracy.
It hit the target the first time I cast it!
"squeak--"
However, the rabbit hadn't fallen down yet. It jumped towards Xia Han with a piercing scream! Its sharp teeth were exposed in its wide-open mouth, and there was even some red blood left on it.
Damn it, how could there be a rabbit that eats meat! Xia Han was startled: Ice arrow, ice arrow, ice arrow!
He flew out three ice arrows in a panic, and finally killed the rabbit just as it was about to jump on his face. However, the rabbit did not forget to take revenge even before it died, spitting out a large amount of ice arrows from its mouth.
A pile of disgusting and rancid liquid poured over Xia Han's face.
Xia Han's sticky face reminded him of the snot flowing on his face from the imperial princess when he was born. He felt nauseated and almost fainted from nausea.
"Hahahaha, little guy, you deserve it...hahahaha..."
Bai Xue laughed happily, but her actions were more honest than her words. She quickly led Xia Han to find a river to wash her face.
Two rabbits were enough for lunch for the two of them. While preparing lunch, Bai Xue told Xia Han that he was not a truly qualified mage: strength and skill were two different things.
"You have only learned a few skills. However, skills are something that is quickly developed based on the results of past research. To put it simply, it is just arranging elements according to rules. This method has been around since ancient times, but it is really due to you humans that it has been developed."
Bai Xue, who was born in the Magic Empire, has a wealth of magic knowledge. She shook her head regretfully while popularizing science: "The existence of skills can popularize spells to the widest extent, but it also reduces the original mystery of spells. If you want to become a hero in the future
, then you must learn to make full use of your own power."
"Those who rely on skills will be at most an eighth-level mage throughout their lives. Our elven children will not completely rely on skills."
Bai Xue looked a little proud.
But Xia Han has no doubt that he can become a hero in the future. Anyway, his training method is different from others. Of course, this does not mean that he can live safely and only rely on skills. He can only use formulas and zi you.
', of course he chose the latter.
Immediately, Bai Xue gave preliminary training suggestions - practice spell control without using skills: no need to use ice arrows to create ice and snow... no need to use fireball to ignite flames... it's a similar method.
"If you can use your magic to attract elements to exert different effects, you will have laid an excellent foundation for the future." When it was time for lunch, Bai Xue assured Xia Han. After all, she was not a real mage, so she had no teaching skills.
There is no explanation of the meditation on magic, it just gives a direction.
But if you follow this direction, Xia Han won't go the wrong way.
Noon, lunch.
Chewing the fragrant rabbit meat in his mouth, the refreshing wind was blowing around him, and there was a stretch of undulating grass in front of him. Xia Han was thinking about Bai Xue's suggestion while eating, and when he picked up the water glass, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Make ice water... no, ice cubes!"
If he doesn't use ice arrows, can he create small pieces of ice floe? Isn't this a good way to practice spell control?
Xia Han stretched out his hand excitedly, gathering his energy to make small ice cubes and put them into the cup. But he failed several times in a row. Just like Bai Xue said, Xia Han can cast ice arrows but cannot make ice arrows.
Smaller ice cubes - this kind of mage is not qualified!
He continued to work hard without giving up, and pieces of ice appeared from the blue light in his hands.
"Little guy...take it easy..."
This shocked Bai Xue, who was next to Xia Han. Every mage's magic power had an upper limit. A first-level mage like Xia Han should not be able to cast spells a few times, but Xia Han kept casting spells until the end of lunch.
And after lunch, Xia Han had successfully created dozens of ice cubes of the same size.
【This little guy is a monster!】
Bai Xue was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Even the Magic Empire did not have such a powerful child. But on the other hand, she became happy again. With Xia Han's talent, she would definitely be very popular even after going to the Magic Empire.
, maybe those hidden old monsters will come out to fight for him.
"Finally it worked!"
Xia Han didn't know what Bai Xue was thinking. He was immersed in a sense of accomplishment, but his eyes rolled.
Why doesn't he just make ice water to please the people in the villages on the way? Anyway, he has a constant supply of magic power, so he can not only practice his spell mastery, but also gain initial recognition from others and unlock some seals.
Although it is a land of grassland, Dawn Grassland is also the main passage from other areas to the Emerald City of Di Du. There are many villages and towns here. Most of these villages are built on both sides of Zhongyang Avenue. Therefore, in addition to farmers who make a living by grazing and planting, some villages
There is also a strong business atmosphere.
Xia Han did as he was told.
But he still had to get something first: "Sister Bai Xue, lend me the cross-dressing necklace you used last time!"
Cross-dressing necklace - I forgot to mention it. This is the magic item that allowed Xia Han to transform into a silver-haired girl and escape from the city last time. According to Bai Xue, this magic item is a necklace jointly created by several advanced elf mages.
It can change its appearance within a certain range according to the wishes of the wearer, and is difficult to be seen through.
Bai Xue didn't say how she got the necklace. She hid many secrets, and Xia Han had no idea of getting to the bottom of these secrets now.
"Dress-up necklace...what are you doing here?"
Bai Xue asked Xia Han about her plan, and the latter naturally had to find a way to hide the magical power of the six-pointed star.
"I thought of a way to make money."
So Xia Han explained this. He planned to use ice cubes to make ice water and sell it for money. Someone should buy it on this hot day. Of course, he would give a very, very low price... After all, the main purpose is to practice.
"Making money..."
Bai Xue's money has all gone. She won't starve to death even if she has no money, but after all, it is convenient to hold some money in her hand, and she also wants to test how high Xia Han's upper limit of mana is!
So she agreed.
Xia Han put on the necklace and changed his height and hair color. This time it was a red-haired boy. He spent the whole afternoon in several villages on the road using his huge magic power to sell ice water at a crazy price. When he got there, he didn't charge any money.
Bai Xue, who was hiding in the dark, stared at him angrily, but Xia Han didn't pay attention. He happily felt the tickling pleasure behind him.
Although the petal of the second seal still did not open the second petal, Xia Han did not expect this action to be very efficient. Anyway, he had unlimited mana, so he could just play slowly along the way.
But extreme joy brings sorrow, and on the next day... Xia Han lay in Bai Xue's arms in pain.
He couldn't move, and the white treatment bandages wrapped him from head to toe, making him look like a mummy.
"It hurts...it hurts..."
Every time Bai Xue's steps swayed, Xia Han felt pain all over his body. The female elf covered him with several layers of soft down, but she still couldn't stop the pain.
On this day, Xia Han was cursing in his heart: "What kind of infinite magic power! Damn it, you guy is licking me again!"
The side effects of unlimited mana came out, and it was obvious that it was not as perfect as Xia Han imagined.
"Idiot master, you didn't check it carefully. Unlimited mana is a physical reward: it allows your body to quickly obtain mana from the air and void to recover the lost mana. Of course, it will cause a great burden on the body."
The illustrated artificial intelligence finally came out to speak again: "So...in order to prevent you from dying young, I strongly recommend that you exercise more!"
Xia Han's dream of being a mage who didn't have to exert physical strength was also shattered on this day.
