Chapter 12 The Differences Between Different Spellcasters
Furthermore, Xia Duo didn't know what Mu Yan meant by "getting rid of him". Although Old Neil was hateful, the relationship between Junior Neil and Xia Duo was still good.
Xia Duo, who came from the peaceful era and only stayed in Faerun for less than a year, is still not able to kill people and destroy households with peace of mind. However, as long as there is a chance, Xia Duo will definitely give Old Neil retribution personally so that he can try it.
Taste the wrath of the people of Earth.
By the way, there are also his set of imitation silk pajamas and plush slippers. Although they are not valuable things on earth, in Faerun, these are the only things he misses about the earth.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure, but it was "bought" by Old Neil for 5 gold coins. This must be taken back.
Mu Yan was a little surprised by Xia Duo's refusal, but he still respected Xia Duo's choice, "In that case, you stay with me for the next two days, and I will give you a bard initiation to see if you are suitable for this job."
road, of course this does not affect your future development on other roads."
Xia Duo nodded and stayed here with Mu Yan.
…
On the other side, Old Neil, who got up early, planned to ask his son to trick Xia Duo outside the town, and then hand it over to the adventurers of the Wild Wolf Group he had contacted to brand him as a slave. Old Neil was not bold enough to carry out such an operation in the town.
.
However, when his son shouted that Shado was missing and came downstairs, Old Neil was confused. Why was it different from what he expected? He knew that Shado was a stranger and had no relatives in Savile Town.
Only then did he dare to think of turning Xia Duo into a slave.
Why did he suddenly disappear? Where did he go?
Old Neil grabbed his son who was still in a panic, slapped him in the face, and asked, "Stop screaming, where did Xia Duo go?"
"I don't know. I didn't see Xia Duo when I went in, but the window was open." Xiao Neil said aggrievedly. He didn't get beaten yesterday, and he was a little lucky in his heart, but he didn't expect to be slapped so early in the morning.
Hearing his son say that the window upstairs was open, Old Neil had some suspicions in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out where the news leaked out. He planned to enslave Xia Duo and hide it from his wife and children, just waiting for everything to be a foregone conclusion.
His son has a good relationship with Xia Duo, but if Xia Duo becomes a slave, why can't he play with him? As for his wife Susan, Old Neil is also very confident in persuading her.
But now that Xia Duo was gone, all his plans were in vain. Old Neil was a little annoyed and slapped his son again, "Do you know where Xia Duo might go?"
"I don't know, I don't know." Little Neil didn't know what Old Neil wanted to do with Xia Duo, and since he had just been slapped twice, he immediately got into a bad temper.
But at this moment, Old Neil was feeling annoyed. He subconsciously slapped him a few more times, but as if he thought of something, he took back his raised hand and forced a smile:
"Then do you know where Xia Duo might have gone?"
Little Neil thought about it seriously and said: "When I passed by Brotto's blacksmith shop yesterday, what did Brotto promise to process for Chateau -"
Hearing Brotto's name, Old Neil's heart skipped a beat. As one of the only master blacksmiths in Savile Town, there was nothing Old Neil could do if Brotto protected Chateau.
"No, it's impossible. I've known Broto since I was a child. A dwarf wouldn't identify with a human so easily!"
Old Neil still had fantasies in his heart, so he left his son behind and was about to go to Broto's blacksmith shop. At this time, Young Neil finally realized that his father was looking for Xia Duo in such a hurry.
I thought I might go to the circus outside the town." I swallowed it.
Seeing his father rushing out the door, Xiao Neil had a trace of worry in his eyes.
…
Outside Savile Town, inside Muyan's tent.
Because he wanted to enlighten Xia Duo as a bard, Mu Yan did not open the stall today. The steward of the Lion and Fire Circus came to inquire. Xia Duo saw the respectful attitude of the steward in extraordinary clothes towards Mu Yan.
In my heart, I have a new understanding of Mu Yan's strength that is not inferior to that of the local mage lord.
After dismissing the steward, Mu Yan took out the piccolo from his waist, played a few syllables at random, and then told Xia Duo, "Okay, no one will disturb me anymore."
Is this a spell cast?
Well, Xia Duo was "law-blind" at the moment. Even if Mu Yan cast a spell in front of him, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference. However, when he thought that he was about to come into contact with magic, Xia Duo's heart felt hot.
"Before the formal initiation, I will tell you some common sense about magic so that you can have a basic understanding of spell casters." Mu Yan motioned to Xia Duo to sit down, and he found a comfortable position to lean on before continuing.
said:
"Both bards and mages can be called spellcasters, and both can cast spells, but the specific principles of their spellcasting are different."
As soon as he heard this sentence, Shado felt that he might not be able to complete his enlightenment. After staying in Savile Town for more than half a year, although he did not have access to specific magic knowledge, some common sense could be widely spread and it would definitely explain some problems.
.
In Savile Town, the sentence that Sha Duo heard most often was that a mage is the embodiment of wisdom and power.
What is wisdom and power? According to Sha Duo's understanding and the background of the game before time travel, it should refer to knowledge and magic. Furthermore, mages gain wisdom, gain magic, and gain power because of knowledge.
The starting point of it all is knowledge.
And this is why Xia Duo chose to pursue the path of a mage to gain the power to protect himself. Otherwise, he could have believed in the gods to gain magical power. It was not because of the incompatibility of the three views, but because he sincerely agreed with the teachings of those gods.
.
If the spellcasting principles of bards and mages are different, it is likely that they are types that Shado cannot accept. Even if they can be successfully enlightened, their future development will be very limited.
Mu Yan continued: "The wizard's magic comes from knowledge and reality, while the bard's magic comes from the heart."
"In your heart?!" Xia Duo couldn't help but make a surprised sound.
"Yes, the bard's magic comes from the heart. As long as you are passionate about magic, the magic will respond to you. You don't need to spend most of your time and energy on research like a mage."
Mu Yan's words were quite self-satisfied, as if he looked down on those mages who were like research machines and did not understand the beauty of life.
At this moment, Xia Duo's heart felt even colder. What does magic mean from the heart? Such an idealistic way of obtaining magic was really unacceptable to Xia Duo. It's not that idealism is wrong, but that Xia Duo grew up on an earth where materialism is prevalent.
The three views have already been formed.
Bards do not pursue the source and principle of magic, which is difficult for Shado to accept. As an earthling, "asking why everything happens" has become an instinct that goes deep into the soul.
Mu Yanke didn't care whether Xia Duo was idealistic or materialistic, and continued to talk about the similarities and differences between different spell casters.
In the end, Sha Duo heard that among the common spellcasting professions such as mage, priest, warlock, druid, and bard, the most suitable one for him was the mage. As for the arcanist, that is the advanced profession of the mage.
