Chapter 26 A hard but bright road
Merlin was very surprised at Ethan’s decision so quickly, and also wondered why Ethan chose such a difficult path so easily.
“You said that as long as I can walk down this road, I will have at least as much strength as you, right?”
Merlin nodded: “Yes, as long as you can go on firmly without passing away due to any accident… Although this road is difficult to follow, there is no serious bottleneck.”
Ethan was aware of this, but the reason for his decision was not just this.
“Then, if I follow the path of a common mage, where can I be guaranteed to go?”
“This…” Merlin understood what Ethan meant, and showed a clear smile: “Young man, your mind is very clear. This can make you go faster on the path of the mage. I hope you can always Keep this sober.”
The reason for Ethan’s decision is simple: one is a road that can definitely reach the level of a top magician like Merlin. Maybe this road is full of thorns, but the end is faintly visible.
The other road is full of unknowns, and even where the end point is and what it looks like is not clear. There is no need for him to take all kinds of accidents and risks to choose such a road.
The ordinary mage path may enable him to form combat power faster, but Ethan is not a pure mage from the beginning, and his methods of dealing with emergencies are not limited to the magic system.
Self-protection, after a big deal, prepare some technological equipment for yourself, which is enough to help yourself through the difficult period in the early stages of the road.
“As long as I can control the space-time energy, I have a greater chance of returning to the Marvel Universe… Then can I fudge Tony Stark to help me get some equipment?”
But Tony Stark is not a helpful character in the impression. If you want to benefit from him, you must pay enough chips.
No matter how bad, some firearms in the movie world can deal with many dangers.
So Ethan doesn’t care how difficult this path is in the early stage. The spiritual strength of the cultivation is what he has been insisting on, and then he just keeps on sticking to it.
“In fact, you don’t have to worry too much. Although it will be boring and monotonous at the beginning, after you can nurture magic power from yourself, as your mental power becomes stronger and stronger, the magic energy produced will also become more and more powerful. At this time, it’s not that you can’t extract energy from the outside world to enhance your magic power. Just be careful not to extract too much and contaminate your own magic power.”
This is the same as the sea. If Ethan has enough magic power to absorb external energy and transform it into magic power, it is like pouring some ink into the sea, and it will not have any effect on the sea at all.
If the other way round, there is only a small pot of water but half a bottle of ink is poured…
Those are all very distant things, and then Merlin explained in detail the cultivation method he proposed. Although I only introduced a few major steps in this practice, it still took a lot of time.
To put it simply, this method is divided into several steps:
Continue to firmly strengthen his mental power, and at the same time have sufficient control over his mental power. This is a natural advantage for Ethan. His control over his mental power has surpassed that of many just starting wizard apprentices.
At this stage, it is impossible to extract magical energy from the outside world, not at all, it will pollute one’s mental power.
At the same time, I have to keep learning all kinds of knowledge to broaden my knowledge. According to Merlin’s theory, the magic bred by one’s own spiritual power does not include all attributes. According to the mage’s own understanding of various energies, there is a certain bias.
For example, a mage has a very good understanding of the fire element energy, so even if he does not extract the fire element energy from the outside world, the magic power he has bred will also have a considerable degree of affinity for the fire element and can better grasp the fire attribute. magic. Many mages use this method to increase their magical attributes-with their own magical powers, they conversely ‘contaminate’ the magical powers that have been fixed in their original attributes.
If Ethan wants to have a more comprehensive magical power, then he needs to continue to work hard to learn all kinds of magic knowledge-not only can’t perform magic like a normal mage, but also constantly work hard to learn all kinds of magic related knowledge, this This feeling is really… Ethan was stunned that he couldn’t find a suitable adjective. Just thinking about it, that feeling will definitely be particularly uncomfortable.
“So, can magic circles or magic items be used?”
“Oh, there is no problem with this.”
Ethan nodded. It seems that he still has to go down the genre of’Item Stream’ firmly, coupled with the melee ability that has been practiced hard, Ethan is now not so much a mage, as it is a four-different —— I know everything, but I don’t have a mastery.
When I have passed this stage, I will get better.
The mental power is strong enough, plus enough magic knowledge reserves, coupled with the special meditation door, will make a special change in the mental power.
This kind of change is like digging a spring on the soil composed of spiritual power, and then the magic power bred by the spiritual power will slowly flow out like spring water.
At this stage, Ethan can already use his own magical power to cast magic without relying entirely on foreign objects.
Of course, at the beginning, the spring eyes were very small, and there was very little spring water that could gush out. At this time, the magic power was still very fragile, and it was very easy to be polluted by external forces, so it was still unable to absorb external energy.
After that, the spring water becomes a small stream, the stream condenses into a small lake, becomes a big lake, until it becomes the sea.
At this time, Ethan’s magic power can already be described as profound. Not only can he use himself to cast spells like a normal mage, but at the same time he no longer has to worry about the pollution of his own magic by external energy, and he can improve himself by absorbing energy. The total amount of magic power or simply restore their own losses.
From Merlin’s words, Ethan realized that in order to make his magic power into a sea that can contain all things, in addition to relying on time accumulation, he also needs to have enough magic knowledge, and even needs to learn and understand each other. All kinds of energy properties, otherwise it is unlikely to produce’attributes’ that can contain all things.
Unfortunately, Merlin did not give a clear answer.
“Unfortunately, I don’t know exactly what it is, after all, no one has really tried this kind of cultivation method.”
Ethan was suddenly curious, how did Merlin get started? Do you choose the kind of energy you are most familiar with like a common mage?
“Oh! This ah…” Merlin suddenly smiled triumphantly: “I am not a pure human being. I am born with huge magical powers.”
“Damn, pure talent!”
Only then did he remember that the legendary Merlin had the blood of a fairy, and he was born with magical talents, and he was not even comparable to this ordinary person who could not even become an apprentice.
Ethan, who was shown inexplicably, was depressed. At this time, he thought again that the profession of mage is very talented. From this point of view, the path that Merlin proposed to himself may be the only possibility Practise the path of achievement by yourself.
If he really does practice like most wizards, he will probably reach a certain level and he won’t be able to go anymore. In the best case, maybe after he has mastered the water element, his spiritual power is contaminated, and he will get stuck. There is no breakthrough in a single attribute. Because of the lack of talent, he started too late, and his total amount of magic power was worse than that of the mages of the same grade.
Of course, Ethan, who has time and space pointers, may find other means to break the bottleneck of talent, but the extent to which it will eventually be is full of too much uncertainty.
He didn’t like this, so when there was such a chance that he could achieve quite a bit before him, he just grabbed it and refused to let it go.
Although this practice method only talks about the level of the’sea’, Ethan has already opened his own brain and roughly’calculated’ the back of it the sea seems to be boundless and unfathomable enough. , But it is not the most’large’.
No matter how big the sea is, he is at most a planet. What if he can breed a galaxy containing countless planets? Let alone mass, the depth of magic alone has crushed many existences; mass is not without direction, such as stars that can serve as the core of several planets?
To go further, countless such star galaxies form a larger galaxy… Ethan even thought of using magic to create a universe in his body.
“Uh…Is this thing supposed to be called Xiaoyushu?”
Ethan, who accidentally changed his job as a Saint Seiya, put away his mind. Now that he thinks so far, there is no doubt that what he has to do next is to learn this knowledge step by step, all in his mind. , And then there is perseverance and hard work to practice.
Because of limited time, he can only stay in this world for ten days. After determining Ethan’s learning direction, Merlin is the most important instructing him on how to control space-time energy. As for the mental power training method, Merlin is going to sort out all the information. After that, let Ethan go back and practice slowly.
This means that Ethan is about to get a bunch of textbooks again.
“Speaking of books, I have an idea, I wonder if you can do it?”
Ethan suddenly thought of the piles of books on his ship, and now that he saw that Merlin was about to give him a pile, he immediately felt a little broken.
It is foreseeable that in order to learn more magic knowledge and understand more energy attributes, he will have to read more books in the future. Is he going to prepare a boat to install the books in the future?
Therefore, creating a magic item that can store learning materials has become the most important thing right now.
