Chapter 20: Magic Missiles.
After explaining and a.n.a.lyzing several key difficulties in spells, Charlotte, with a face of enlightenment, she said goodbye to Siwei and went back to her laboratory to continue her study.
However, Siwei changed his teaching method to Meryl. Siwei always gave Meryl a new spell model, and after she studied it herself, she would go to Siwei again. Siwei would give her a simple evaluation and some practical demonstration of all his ideas and inspiration. Therefore, Meryl"s speed of learning magic was relatively slow, but she almost mastered every spell she learned perfectly.
This is to teach students according to their apt.i.tude! After Siwei stretched himself and finished guiding the two students, Siwei began to deduce the magic missile.
Siwei"s original "flurry" and "water mirror" are only simple manipulations of the four basic elements of wind and water. These spells do not have much know-how, while magic missiles are different. This is the first destructive spell a magician can master.
Attacking freezing rays and acid splashes in zero-ring spells can only cause frostbite and skin damage even when used against an ordinary person. Magic missiles have almost the lethality of bows and arrows. More importantly, magic missiles can penetrate bunkers and armor because of their energy damage, unlike arrows, which are affected by gravity.
Although 85% of the structural information about magic missiles has been obtained from Basic Magic Structure a.n.a.lysis, Siwei"s progress was not very smooth at first. With the help of zero, Siwei listed nearly ten possible structural models of magic missiles, but after three days of practice, none of these models succeeded.
Even if it fails halfway, Siwei uses between five and eight standard spells for each magic missile cast. Even Siwei, who has reached the peak of magic apprentice, can cast it only less than five times a day.
What kind of energy is magic missile?
When the sun was setting and the sky was full of red clouds, Siwei, who had run out of magic power, gently pressed his hands on some painful temples, and this problem suddenly came to mind.
It is not geomantic omen of the earth fire, light and shadow, different s.p.a.ce energy, pure spirit, divine power and evil source ...
The structural diagram of the magic missile in Siwei"s mind becomes clearer and clearer, but at this moment Siwei has overturned the part that was originally fixed to be correct!
It shouldn"t be like this!
In this way, the use of energy has gone astray!
It should be a mixture of magic energy, without purity or extraction, only drawn from nature, then integrated, spirally accelerated through the spell model, and then emitted!
The magic model in Siwei"s mind was rapidly reorganized and changed, and finally completely changed into a new model. It has greatly changed from the magic model previously obtained from "Basic Magic Structure a.n.a.lysis", but it is so simple and clear, full of natural beauty!
Excited Siwei could not wait for the night to restore his full magic power through meditation. He happily drank the third and last mini magic power recovery potion around him, urging his spirit to start surging magic power according to the latest magic power model!
All kinds of magic energy in the air are absorbed by Siwei at this moment regardless of each other, just like the colorless air after all colors of light are mixed together. The messy ground, fire, wind, water, light and dark energy eventually become colorless energy like transparent gla.s.s!
This colorless energy is flowing through the fingertip of Siwei"s right index finger, getting brighter and brighter, like a bow that has been pulled to the full moon, waiting for the last moment of shooting.
However, Siwei slowly stopped absorbing energy. The colorless energy slowly dispersed like pa.s.sive water, and everything was calm.
The timing is not right.
On one hand, Siwei"s magic has only been restored by the micro magic recovery potion and nature, but it is far from complete to cast a magic missile spell. On the other hand, the magic missile spell has very strong destructive power. If it is cast in his own laboratory, the damage caused by it is easy to expose something.
However, the biggest obstacle has already pa.s.sed and there is only a smooth road ahead.
As long as the "magic missile" is successfully casted, and the spell is finally familiar with as natural as breathing and completely engraved in one"s soul, then the promotion of a magician will follow suit!
The magic naturally overflowed, and Siwei, who reached the peak of the magic apprentice, has seen the dawn of becoming a magician in just three days.
The next step is to leave the tower!
The secret of Siwei"s upcoming promotion to a magician is related to his own life. Even to his two students Meryl and Charlotte, he did not reveal anything. Out of fear and respect for the mysterious and cunning Gatling, only leaving the tower can he completely avoid Gatling"s surveillance.
I need to find a secret place on the island to finish the final process of magic missile, and really promote into a magician!
However, the tower is like a closed cage, fulfilling the magic dreams of the apprentices and cutting off their channels of communication with the outside world.
There are only two ways for an apprentice to leave the tower: to be a magician or not to be a wizard at the age of 20.
However, the former one has been proved by Palin at the cost of his life that only death is the only destination. The latter one, Siwei, is also impossible.
Thinking here, Siwei smiled: "Zero, it"s your turn!"
Zero, activated by the familiar"s summoning spell, has her own body and can be separated from Siwei. But in order to accomplish "choke!" And "magic missile", although she have long wanted to take a look at the world outside the tower, but Siwei forced to resist this desire, and let zero a.s.sist their a.n.a.lysis of magic.
But now, magic missiles have only the part where practice makes perfect. So he can completely liberate zero to explore the island where the tower is located.
And this is exactly what she likes to do best.
The commanded zero jumped out of Siwei"s heart lake. After a few days of absence, her whole cat size grew bigger and her hair, which was made up of magical energy, was much smoother and thicker, obviously growing up.
"Ha ha, Siwei, I"ll explore the road ahead!" Zero cast her own hiding skills, and her whole cat slowly melted into the night without any sound or image.
Siwei nodded with satisfaction. The stealth technique of zero is much better than that of any thief. Even if there is infrared imaging, He"s afraid one can"t see an image of a familiar composed entirely of magic energy.
Siwei returned to his room and began his routine meditation, while the expedition of zero had just begun.
