The world of magicians is extremely mysterious, and humans have never stopped exploring the study of magic.
Magicians temper their magic power through meditation, increase their own magic power storage by mixing appropriate magic potions, and finally use magic power to activate the magic elements floating in the sky and earth to create powerful magic spells to attack enemies or amplify teammates.
However, the time and energy required to become a magician is really terrifying. First of all, you must have magic talent. This alone can defeat 90% of people in the world.
Shiloh is also a person without magic talent. In fact, no one in the entire royal family has magic talent, which shows how rare magic talent is in the human world.
And even if you have magic talent and want to become a magician, you must practice diligently day and night, store magic power through meditation, and spend a lot of money to prepare magic potions when you encounter bottlenecks to expand the storage capacity of magic power in your body.
, to put it simply, if an ordinary person with magical talent wants to become a powerful magician, he must practice hard for at least a lifetime.
However, in the long-term research on magic, there will always be some geniuses who can find another way and find a completely different path from the past.
This cultivation method does not require long-term hard training, the assistance of magic potions, or even much talent. As long as certain conditions are met, even a magician without talent can gradually grow into a magician with
A powerful mage.
Life magic is such a cultivation method.
An evil practice that releases powerful magic through vitality.
"Life magic is also called a curse in the world of magicians. In order to obtain powerful power, there will always be some lunatics willing to pay a high price, even if the price is their own lives.
The most important thing is that human vitality is always limited, use less, and magicians who experience powerful power will become obsessed with the study of life magic. After that, they become extreme, crazy, and start to use
Various ways to store vitality, including indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
Shiloh nodded. He had heard about life magic from Yale before, and even copied a meditation practice method about life magic.
He knew all these things, but he didn't know why the magic world was so taboo on life magic.
Even these magicians will collectively exclude Yale.
Thor, who was talking about magic knowledge, saw Shiloh's confused look, sighed softly, frowned and said: "The reason why we are afraid of life magic is not because it can use other people's life force to release magic.
After all, these are troubled times. Magicians who practice life magic can join the army and use the enemy's vitality to release powerful magic. In this regard, the magic world has no so-called moral standards, as long as they do not attack their compatriots.
"
Hearing this, Shiloh couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, then why is life magic listed as a forbidden technique?"
"Because...for magicians who practice life magic, when their strength is about to reach the extraordinary level, absorbing life force has become an instinct. It can be said that he will absorb it unconsciously without his own consciousness.
The most terrifying thing about the vitality of the people around them is that they need to use the magical vitality of the magician to help them complete their promotion."
Shiloh was obviously stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "You mean, if Yale keeps practicing life magic, one day he will unknowingly kill the people around him, and even attack magicians?"
Thor nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. Although life magic was rare in the past, it was still spread in the kingdom, and many life magicians joined the army to serve the country. But in the end, these life magics
All the teachers have turned into crazy murderers. They hunt not only enemies, but also compatriots, especially magicians. In their eyes, they are like a piece of fragrant steak, attracting them all the time."
"That period can be called the end of the magic world. Countless magicians in the country were attacked by living magicians, drained of their vitality and died of exhaustion. In order to fight against these living magicians, all legal practitioners in the entire Western Continent united.
We fought together and finally paid a very heavy price to win this catastrophic victory."
"Since then, life magic has been tightly sealed on the mainland. Anyone who practices life magic will be hunted down by the magic world until death."
this…
Hearing this, Shiloh couldn't help but start to hesitate. He accepted Yale before, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Judging from the style of the magic world, if the magic world knew that he had a life magician under his command, he would probably
He would drive a magic warship and ride the wind and waves to Hope Island to order him to hand over his people.
This Yale is really useless, but it is more hot than anyone else.
After a few seconds of silence, Shiloh suddenly asked: "Since the Life Magician is the public enemy of the magic world, why didn't you directly kill Yale? According to your strength, it would be easy to deal with Yale, so why do you still want to stay?"
His life, let him guard the door outside?"
Thor showed a bright smile and said: "Your Highness, although we are magicians, we do not belong to the magic world. Therefore, as long as Yale does not offend us or pose a threat to us, no one will care about him."
"But after all, we are also magicians, so naturally we will not keep a potential threat around us. Letting him visit the door is already the gentlest thing to do."
"We won't care too much about Yale in the future, unless he poses a threat to us. If that day comes, we won't mind blowing his balls."
When Thor said this, he opened his mouth and silently made a "boom" mouth shape. He also held his fist in front of his face and opened it suddenly, as if to show Shiloh how his balls exploded.
Shiloh didn't expect that the magician's words would be so vulgar, but he was amused by Thor's vivid performance. He nodded, and finally asked: "Can't the disadvantages of life magic be solved? For example, it must rely on
The magician's vitality reaches extraordinary levels, and in the later stages, he will unconsciously absorb the vitality of those around him."
Thor shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but maybe a genius will come out in the future to erase this shortcoming... But if you are interested in life magic, sir, you must do it in secret
, and we must control the life magicians well. When they cannot control themselves and start attacking people around them, they must be killed in time, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Shiloh took a deep look at Thor and realized that Thor had seen through his thoughts. He nodded and said: "In that case, everyone should have a good rest. Regarding the Mage Tower, I will give you some information later."
If you give me a satisfactory answer, I will take Yale away first."
Thor nodded and said: "Your Highness, please do so."
The two parties smiled and nodded goodbye. As soon as they walked out of the door, Shiloh saw Yale looking at him expectantly.
Shilozai looked at Yale carefully, sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a coward like you would be a taboo existence that is absolutely intolerable in the magic world. I have to say that the magic of life fell into your hands. It's really a bright pearl.
Voted."
Yale looked embarrassed, shrunk and said: "Your Highness, I, I got the life magic just by chance. I have never done anything like absorbing the life force of innocent people."
Shiloh nodded, thinking that with a character like Yale's, it would be difficult for him to be ruthless.
"Okay, pack your things and follow me from now on. I will have a good chat with you about life magic later."
Yale nodded timidly, took out a bundle from the corridor, followed Shiloh closely, and returned to the executive hall.
The power of life magic moved Shiloh's heart. He still remembered the life corrosion spell that Yale had released before.
The life corrosion technique activated by Yale's low strength can corrode even thick battle axes into pits. It has to be said that life magic is now the most suitable legal training method in Stormwind City.
Commonly known as, powerful enough to help Hilo conquer a large territory.
However, the later life corrosion technique has too many drawbacks. If it cannot be solved properly, it will inevitably become a time bomb for Stormwind City.
It is necessary to use it, but you must think clearly about how to use it and how to deal with it later.
Shiloh now has two solutions in mind. The first one depends entirely on luck, which is to hope that props with strong vitality can be extracted from the system in the future to help life magicians overcome the shortcomings of life magic;
The second one is to completely treat the Life Magician as a prop that will be reimbursed after use. Once the Life Magician is found to be in a situation that cannot be suppressed, it should be eliminated immediately to avoid causing huge harm.
After all, facing the lizardmen's attack, Hilo needs more power to defend Stormwind City.
And after setting foot on other islands in the future, they may face more and more powerful enemies. At that time, the power of life magic will become extremely important.
But until now, Shiloh is still hesitating on how to deal with such a tricky power as life magic.
After bringing Yale back to the executive hall, Shiloh arranged a room for him and asked him to live there first and not to act rashly. He would also find out more about the magic of life from Yale.
Yale nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He has been sleeping on the porch every day these days. His body is already weak and he has been tortured a lot these days. He was already touched by being assigned a good room.
It’s too much.
If Shiloh knew that Yale was so grateful for a room, he would definitely sigh again and lament that Yale is such a miserable guy.
After a simple dinner, Shiloh summoned his butler Grolo and asked him to make a good calculation of how many gold coins Stormwind City could earn from the iron ore currently stored in it. He also asked him to take a good look at Stormwind City's current situation.
Market trade, in the future, Hilo is ready to make good use of Grolo in this area of commerce.
As for now, he is just waiting, waiting for the reinforced stone mine to be delivered to Hope Island in a few days, and then he can launch a counterattack against the lizard people.
That night, Shiloh stayed up late to read, carefully reading the meditation technique of life magic again. Before using life magic, one must at least understand it.
It's just that Shiloh has read the meditation technique of life magic over and over again, but he can't think of any suitable method to solve the shortcomings of life magic. A life magician can quickly achieve it by absorbing a large amount of life force. Now they are fighting with the lizard people.
The matter of fighting and vitality is really easy to solve.
The question is how to solve the subsequent disadvantages.
Shiloh rummaged through his stored magic books, but couldn't find any ideas, let alone a solution.
In desperation, Shiloh could only list out all the ways to become a life magician.
The first thing is to have magic talent. There are thousands of people in Stormwind City, so if you can find one or two people, it will be good.
The next step is to prepare the life weapon. The life weapon is the foundation of life magicians. They absorb life force and cast magic through life force. They all use life weapon. The huge life force they usually absorb is also stored in the life weapon.
After that comes the practice of meditation.
Only by completing these three items can you be considered an entry-level life magician.
Shiloh was recording and thinking about how to implement it. When he felt a blanket being wrapped around him, he came to his senses.
"Huh? Claire, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Naturally, Claire was the only one who could enter Shiloh's room at such a late hour. Claire was wearing a set of ordinary pajamas. She placed a plate of food in front of Shiloh and said softly: "His Highness is not asleep yet. Claire is worried about His Highness's safety."
You are in poor health, so prepare a cup of hot tea and some bread for Your Highness."
Seeing the steaming tea, Shiloh felt warm in her heart and said, "Hey, I've long been used to staying up late. You go to bed early. I'll go to bed after I finish all these things."
Claire nodded, looked at the large piece of notes that Shiloh spread out on the table, and asked, "Has your highness got any new ideas? Is it something new this time?"
Shiloh shook his head and said: "It's not a new thing, but it is indeed a bit difficult to do. Even I haven't figured it out yet."
"Since you can't figure it out, it's better to go to bed early. Maybe after a night's sleep, you'll be able to figure out a solution after you're full of energy."
"Huh... It's not that simple. After all, there is too little data for reference now. It would be nice if there was an example that I could study... Hmm? An example for reference?" Shiloh was talking when he suddenly paused.
After coming down, his eyes started to get brighter and brighter, and he stood up suddenly, saying in surprise, "Yes, it would be great if I could experience the entire cultivation process again!"
He muttered to himself, and the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt. Now, shutting himself in the room to study is tantamount to working behind closed doors. If he could fully experience the cultivation process, he might be able to figure out the specific advantages and disadvantages of life magic!
"Claire, you are really my lucky star!" Shiloh was so excited that he jumped up and hugged Claire and spun around. The girl was so scared that she let out a low cry and grabbed Shiloh's shoulders tightly.
Shiloh had no other ideas at this time. After putting down Claire, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Go and rest quickly. I need to be alone for a while now, hahaha."
By the time Claire reacted, she had already been pushed out of the room by Shiloh. Her face was a little red, and her heartbeat started to become panicked as she felt the touch of being picked up by Shiloh.
Why is Your Highness so slow in this regard? Are all the previous rumors in the market false?
Claire couldn't help but blush when she thought about the rosy rumors she had heard about Shiloh. She covered her face, not daring to think too much, and trotted back to her room.
Ahem, "spring" in Stormwind City seems to have come too late.
----------------------------------------
After sending Claire away, Shiloh immediately opened the system and asked: "System, can I practice magic?"
"It is detected that the host's magic value is 0 points and cannot practice any magic. Please increase the magic value first to provide the host with magic talents."
Seeing the system's answer, Shiloh immediately understood that as long as he lit up his magic power, he would be considered to have magical talent, so practicing magic would naturally be no problem.
"System, if I practice life magic, will there be any disadvantages?"
"The system cannot answer the template or data of inanimate magic. Please upload the data first."
Upload data…
Shiloh tried to hold the meditation technique of Life Magic in his hand and asked tentatively: "What about this? Can I upload data like this?"
The system dialog box was silent for a while. After a few seconds, a large series of ellipses popped up, and then a few light blue fonts appeared.
"A special elemental power cultivation method has been discovered. Scanning for backup, please wait..."
"The backup is completed. After system identification, there are huge flaws in this practice method, and improvements and deductions are in progress..."
"The cultivation method is being perfected, the [Data Elimination] permission has been passed, [Data Elimination] has started to reset, and the [Data Elimination] scorer arrangement has been adjusted... The improvement is successful, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the special elemental power cultivation method (revised), system template
Increasing..."
"New template - Life Mage was successfully established (consuming 500 energy points)."
[Race: Human or all humanoid creatures]
【Strength:7】
[Agility: 7]
[Physique: 10]
[Magic: 1]
[Maximum vitality reserve: 40 (can be upgraded)]
[Remarks: This unit is too special. It can steal life force from living things and release powerful spells. The power of the spell has nothing to do with magic power. The more life force invested, the greater the power of the spell. 】
[Skill: Life Expansion - Injecting a large amount of life force into the target's body, the target can be cured of all injuries. Each use requires 20 life force. After the life force is consumed or 3 minutes later, the spell will expire (CD: 60 minutes)
;
Life Corrosion - Use life force to summon a corrosive mist, destroy the enemy's cells, and attack all enemies within a range of 5*2 meters. (CD: 5 minutes, at least 10 life force required)
Life trajectory - see through the strength of a person's vitality, and be able to vaguely predict the future that may happen to the target, with a success rate of 15%. (Cd: 1 month, at least 100 vitality required)】
[Comment evaluation: Look carefully, death does not come from the outside world, but slowly seeps out from the body. 】
The sudden outpouring of information made Shiloh a little overwhelmed. Then he was stunned by the sudden surprise. He originally just thought that if the system could help him perfect the flaws of life magic, then even if it was necessary
There is no problem in exchanging energy points.
But he didn't expect that this usually stingy system would directly help him perfect the practice of life magic for free, and even come up with a brand new template, which was a double happiness.
Earned it! Definitely earned it!
Hilo almost jumped up with excitement. With three skills, this is definitely the strongest unit that Hilo has seen so far. These three skills are the amplification type, the killing type and the prediction type. As for the last prediction type, Hilo still has
I don’t know what its uses are, but the amplifying and killing types are definitely worth looking forward to.
Especially this life corrosion technique. Shiloh has seen the terrifying power of this magic with his own eyes. The most important thing is that these mages are completely driven by life force, not magic power!
No matter how hard a magician practices, the magic power he cultivates is limited after all. Once it is used up, it will be difficult to recover in a short time. However, on the battlefield, life magicians never have to worry about exhaustion of vitality.
The entire battlefield is full of usable life force, which means these life magicians can use magic throughout the process!
Could this be the legendary perpetual motion machine?
Without thinking, Shiloh immediately exchanged it for a life magician template and wanted to find someone to test it out immediately.
But at this moment, he suddenly calmed down, opened the dialog box with the system, and asked again: "System, since it can redeem the template of the life magician, why does it help me perfect the life magic meditation technique?"
Since you can redeem the template, why bother to perfect another cultivation method? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort... This is what Shilode means.
The dialog box flickered for a moment, and a line of words popped up, replying: "Through the cultivation method, the system cannot limit the level you will eventually reach, but using templates, you can clarify the upper limit of the arms."
Shiloh looked at the conversation carefully and figured out what the system wanted to express.
People who practice on their own may one day break through the limits of human beings and realize extraordinary power. The progress of their cultivation is slow, but there are infinite possibilities.
And those who become system soldiers through template upgrades can instantly gain greater power than ordinary people, but their upper limit has been limited by the system. No matter how hard they work in the future, they will not be able to break through this upper limit.
Therefore, the system will give Hilo two choices.
You decide for yourself whether you want a standard warrior who can be used now but cannot improve in the future, or whether you want a future warrior who is slow in practice now but has a promising future.
