His thoughts were interrupted and Xiaoqiang looked back.
"Teacher, I'm watching The Empire of God."
"Oh? Did you find anything?" Saint Garfield asked.
"I feel that this empire is very powerful."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because this empire is rich in resources, and they have recruited people with divine talents from all over the continent, its strength is by no means ordinary."
"You are right." Saint Garfield looked at the map with emotion. "This empire is not only powerful, but also has an extremely deep foundation. Even the Red Flame Continent cannot match it."
"Ah! So powerful?" Xiaoqiang said in surprise.
"Yes, in the theocratic empire, the Holy See is both their faith and the heart of their administration. When the state and religion are unified, the people's faith becomes a tool for those in power. When the spirit is controlled, this country will
Humans are just a bunch of machines that are fearless of death. No one can retreat in front of a machine that has no emotions, not even gods."
"Ah, according to the teacher, haven't the people of this country become puppets?"
"Puppet?" Santa Garfield laughed, "You will understand when you truly enter this continent."
Saint Garfield did not want to say anything more, and returned to the table. He touched the box he had just taken down with one hand and seemed to be thinking about something.
Xiaoqiang followed and walked over. Seeing that the teacher was silent, he asked.
"Teacher, what's in this box?"
Saint Garfield slowly sat down, looked directly into Xiaoqiang's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Xiaoqiang, can you tell me what level your current strength is?"
The sudden question made Xiaoqiang a little at a loss.
"Teacher, I..."
Xiaoqiang didn't know how to answer Saint Garfield. After all, the magic card's ability did not belong to him. If his true strength were to be considered, it might be almost zero, because he could not release any sacred magic at all.
The hesitation on Xiaoqiang's face was seen in St. Garfield's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and expressed his opinion.
"If my guess is correct, the combat power you showed before was achieved through magic props, but your own strength is pitifully low."
After saying that, Saint Garfield saw the surprised expression in Xiaoqiang's eyes, and immediately confirmed his suspicion.
Saint Garfield said slowly, "Xiaoqiang, relying on magic equipment can indeed unleash a very powerful combat power, but there are still many things in this world that can inhibit the use of magic items. When one day your magic items cannot be used, then
What else do you rely on to fight?"
After a brief period of surprise, Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought the teacher had discovered his secret, but it seemed that was not entirely true at the moment.
Regardless of these, Xiaoqiang felt a sense of care from Saint Garfield's words, so he humbly accepted the teacher's teachings and wanted to make some changes in himself.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Seeing the sincerity in Xiaoqiang's eyes, Saint Garfield was very satisfied. He slowly opened the box, and a magic crystal comparable to that on Vilia's magic wand suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This is a magic crystal with sacred properties. I am giving this crystal to you now."
Xiaoqiang naturally understood the preciousness of the magic crystal and hesitated immediately.
"Teacher, this crystal is too precious, I can't have it."
Saint Garfield waved his hand, "Don't refuse it yet. I'm not giving it to you for nothing. Before that, you have to agree to a condition."
"Conditions? Teacher, what do you say?"
"The college will hold a competition in a week, and I hope you can participate on behalf of the Sacred Department."
Xiaoqiang was shocked, "But, my strength..."
"You don't have to worry about this. With the help of this magic crystal, you can reach the level of a fifth-level magician in a short time. At the same time, I will also teach you some sacred magic."
"Teacher, why is this? Why do you want me, a freshman, to participate in the college competition?" Xiaoqiang asked doubtfully.
Saint Garfield said slowly, "There is no precise reason, it's just that I see hope in you."
Xiaoqiang looked confused, "Hope? I don't understand what you mean."
Saint Garfield did not continue to explain. He handed the box to Xiaoqiang, and then handed over a book on the basic theory of the sacred system.
"Take this book and go back and study by yourself. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me."
After that, regardless of whether Xiaoqiang had any doubts, he went directly to the second floor. His aloof look made Xiaoqiang puzzled for a while.
Xiaoqiang returned to the dormitory in the evening. To his surprise, he did not see Luo Lin. Instead, there was a note on the table.
After a brief look, Xiaoqiang realized that Luo Lin had gone to the city to inquire about information. Obviously, he was still a little anxious about rescuing the elf princess.
Putting aside the matter of rescuing the elf princess, Xiaoqiang opened the magic crystal given to him by the teacher. In the dark room, the light of the magic crystal suddenly illuminated the room, and the overflowing magic elements made Xiaoqiang feel better.
After a brief period of confusion, Xiaoqiang started communicating with System Novice.
"Xiao Bai, can absorbing the energy of this magic crystal allow me to condense the sixth magic card?"
Xiaobai's voice sounded in his head.
"According to calculations, the energy in this magic crystal is enough to condense the sixth card, and the remaining energy can almost condense the prototype of the seventh card."
After getting the answer he wanted, Xiaoqiang said immediately without asking about the seventh card.
"Then you start absorbing it now, the sooner the better."
Xiaobai received the order and immediately sucked the magic crystal into the system space. As the magic crystal disappeared, the room fell into darkness again.
Absorbing energy does not require Xiaoqiang's participation, so he lit a candle and prepared to read the magic book given by the teacher.
After all, for him now, practicing magic is almost a layman, and he still needs to start from scratch regarding magic.
It took about half the night for Xiaoqiang to finish reading the books given by the teacher, and then he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and carefully sensed the magical elements around him.
Maybe it was because of Xiao Bai, or maybe it was because Xiao Qiang had a very high talent in magic, but within ten breaths, he felt a faint wave of magic power.
When he sensed it carefully, he saw countless milky white light spots floating around his body. It felt like he was in the ocean.
After sensing the magic element, the next step is to absorb it into the body.
