"Yeah, fireball," Richard nodded, "like the one where you can throw a fireball with just a wave of your staff?"
He wondered why Casillas had such a strange expression, as if he thought this question was so baffling that the mage should go up and kill people with his sword.
"There are naturally fire-controlling spells, such as Simbas's Flame, Faltin's Holy Fire, etc." Casillas explained, "But those are quite high-level spells and require very high proficiency.
It requires a certain amount of talent and skills, and not just anyone can master it. If you want to get started, you still have to start with the most basic training.”
"For example, making weapons." Richard said.
"...Yes, just making weapons." Casillas answered, wondering why this newcomer seemed to have an inexplicable resentment towards the introductory spell...
Okay, sure enough, there are still fireball spells, but they are too high-end and cannot be used by entry-level novices. But Richard is still curious that since these mages can't fly kites and cast spells remotely, why do they still have to go up and do it themselves when fighting?
No. This makes people think that Asgard is obviously an advanced civilization with laser weapons, but when fighting, it still has to let soldiers wield cold weapons to chop...
Let’s not talk about that far, let’s talk about Iron Man. In the MCU, Iron Man was like a mobile turret in the beginning. In most cases, it would rely on its high mobility and powerful firepower to suppress output from a distance. However, from "Iron Man 3"
In the beginning, when he gained a certain level of experience in upgrading his armor, he began to embark on the path of no return from hand-to-hand combat...
Could it be that hand-to-hand combat is actually a symbol of strength in the Marvel Universe? Is this some kind of truth that will naturally be understood when your strength reaches a certain level?
Next, Casillas began to teach the basic spell. To be honest, the spell was a bit difficult to pronounce, and because there was no strong logical relationship between the sentences and the meaning was unclear, it was extremely difficult to memorize it.
But the spell itself is not long, and after Casillas repeated it several times, he quickly remembered it.
Casillas nodded slightly and praised him for his good memory and quick learning. Richard laughed at that time, thinking that I could memorize the entire text of "Li Sao" word for word before the college entrance examination. You are really kidding.
.
Before he had time to try it out, Master Modu rushed out of the backyard in a menacing manner.
"Casillas!" The honest man called him by his first name as if he was going to accuse him, "What are you doing?"
Casillas took a step back: "As you can see, I am teaching this new apprentice how to get started."
"Without consent." Modu added, "Do you know what mistake you made?"
"Relax, Modu, this is not a big problem. The Supreme Mage may not come back for two or three days. I think it is not good to leave others here to hang out during this period. Besides, the Supreme Mage said that knowledge is used
It’s shared, and it doesn’t involve any taboos.”
"Yes, but it cannot be shared with those who have wrong intentions. This should be decided by the Supreme Mage - and only by herself."
Casillas shrugged: "You always take the rules too seriously, Mordo. Relax, what can this be a big problem? Just let him feel it two or three days in advance, even if the mage says he won't
If it's suitable, it won't have a big impact. It's just a starting point. No one can get started in three days. Even the most talented apprentice will need at least a month to..."
The two were arguing fiercely, and they seemed to have completely forgotten the real owner. At this time, Richard suddenly said: "Sorry to interrupt, but what you said...is this true?"
Both of them turned their heads, their expressions instantly froze in place, and Casillas even swallowed back the rest of what he had not finished.
Richard opened his right hand like Casillas had just done, holding a light golden circular magic circle in his hand. Every line that made up the magic circle was burning as if attached to a flame, and the light effect was brilliant.
people......
The two were stiff for a while, and then Modu mechanically turned his head to look at Casillas.
"How long...have you been teaching him?"
"......three minutes."
"...Seriously, how long?"
"Leave aside the introduction and introduction, and just count the incantation and demonstration time? That's less than a minute."
Mordo looked at Casillas in surprise, as if trying to read the joke on his face.
In other words, at the stall where they had just exchanged words, this guy tried it once or twice... and got started right away??
Master Modu recalled that it took him a month or two when he first started practicing, and he practiced hard day and night before he managed to form the first magic circle. At that time, the Supreme Master also said that he had a higher understanding and was suitable for practicing law.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not because the mage is afraid that telling the truth will damage his confidence, so he makes random nonsense...
No, it must be just a coincidence. Magic actually involves luck when newbies get started. When Modu created the magic circle for the first time, he spent a long time and was unable to draw the second one. It was as if the first one was completely different.
It was just luck. Later, he practiced for a long time before finally mastering this basic skill.
That's right, this newcomer must be the kind of super European with lots of luck, so he can get into the soul immediately. This is the only explanation...
The two mages were still looking at each other and trying to digest this fact. Unexpectedly, this was not the end. Richard was a little confused when he saw the two of them looking so surprised. He raised his left hand and held another magic circle: "This
Shouldn’t it be difficult...?”
Modu looked at him holding a magic circle in his left hand and right hand, and his eyes almost widened.
For a moment, he really felt frustrated that he had learned all his magic skills from dogs.
Not to mention the two of them, Richard himself was actually confused. Isn't it said that magic is super difficult to learn? Strange was given such a high evaluation by the Supreme Mage and has been practicing for so long. Richard originally estimated that
No matter how hard he thought, he would definitely not be as powerful as Strange, who had the aura of the protagonist, but he didn't know that he could just try it and it would work in one go.
If someone wants to ask about his insights or experiences, he can only say that he really doesn’t think there is anything difficult...
As soon as Richard put his hands away, the two magic circles turned into sparks and dissipated. Then he looked at the two mages: "So, maybe I can go directly to the next link?"
This time, not only Modo, but also Casillas slapped his face and said: "This... we have to discuss this carefully, why don't you go back and rest first..."
"Okay." Richard nodded understandingly.
Looking at the reactions of the two mages, he also knew that his progress might indeed be a bit scary. At this rate, maybe the two masters would have nothing to teach before the Supreme Mages came out...
(p.s. Many book friends are concerned about whether the protagonist can learn magic, so here is a unified reply. It is impossible to learn magic by learning magic, and it is impossible to learn magic in this life...)
