Chapter 1 Mage
The thin mage was so unclear in the light white mist. The wide and long cloak not only covered the thin body, but also covered the black cloak with his entire face. In his pale hands, he held a long wooden staff that looked slightly quaint. The staff was about two meters long, the baby's arms were thin, and dozens of strange characters were carved on the staff. A faint silver-white light appeared in the characters. At the top of the magic battle was inlaid with a red gem the size of a thumb. Dozens of tiny lights could be seen flowing restlessly on the gem, which was very good.
The mage in the fog held a war in one hand and made complex marks in the other hand. From time to time, he murmured some strange language, and waves of low moans drifted around in the like environment, bringing people a strange mystery and fear of unknown things.
As the strange tone ended, the mage suddenly covered with a faint halo. If it weren't for the good vision, it was easy to find that there was a layer of halo on the mage's body. After the mage paused for a moment, he began to chant the strange syllables, and he even quickly began to chant dry and strange language.
Suddenly, a fiery red ball formed on the mage's hand that was constantly sealing, expanding rapidly from slow to fast, and began to rotate slowly. After a while, the fireball increased to the size of an adult's head, and the rotation speed increased continuously. The fireball rotated and stayed above the mage's hand. The mage's hand suddenly swung at the target he had already planned. The fireball pulled out a long flame and cut through the faint white mist with a low and mute whistling sound, and hit the snow a hundred meters away heavily.
With a "touch", a large pit half a meter deep was smashed on the frozen and hard snow. The snow on the ground suddenly melted a large area, and the pieces of earth flying everywhere were surrounded by balls of flames. After landing, it was slowly extinguished by the surrounding snow.
The mage at the scene of the scene who had caused the damage from his own hands was silent for a while, recovered from his fatigue of casting, sighed softly, shook his head slightly, brushed the cloak on his body, tightened the staff in his hand, and was not very satisfied with his casting status. Then he left here and walked slowly towards the depths of the mist until the mist completely covered his thin figure.
The mage who had finished casting the spell slowly walked into a small wood. The fog seemed much thicker here. The thick trees six or seven meters away were suddenly blocked, making people feel the illusion that they could not find the direction here.
However, our mage was familiar with the journey and slowly and twists and turns in the thick fog. It seemed that it was not disturbed by the fog, as if this place was his residence, but this little wood was indeed the mage's residence.
After a while, a lot of fog in the field of view dissipated, at least it did not block people's eyes so much. After a while, an empty, small plain appeared about a mile away. A small house made of birch wood stood in the middle of the open space. The edge of the open space was not the relatively short trees commonly found in the woods, but some tall and straight trees. These trees blocked the unopened sky tightly. In this cold north, even if there was a little sunshine, it rarely shone here. The mage's residence looked a little gloomy in such an environment.
The mage gently pushed open the wooden door and returned to his home in this world. His small wooden house was left to him by his previous generation of mages. The decorations in the house were relatively simple. There were many objects in the small room. On the left hand, there was a large wooden bed with a thick layer of animal skin on it, which occupied half of the small space at once. There were several wooden chairs in front of the wooden bed, and animal skins were also laid on it to prevent the cold.
There are dozens of wall pavilions of all sizes on the wall, with books, bags, boxes, scrolls, wooden slips, and even a few stone slabs engraved with words mixed in them. Some wall pavilions are blocked with small wooden fans, making it impossible to see what is placed inside.
Not only was there a thick animal skin mat on the bed, but a small long and short-legged table was placed at the head of the bed. There were dozens of paper and several books with opened pages on it. There was a small copper incense burner in the upper left corner of the table, and there was a piece of dense incense with pen thickness on it. There was a silver lamp stand not far from the incense burner, and a large piece of beeswax was waiting for the owner to ignite it.
There is a pen holder in the upper right corner, with various quill pens, brushes, and even several carving knives hanging or inserted on it. In front of the pen holder is a row of low glass bottles engraved with magical words, but there are special inks used for writing that are arranged with the blood of various monsters, magic powder, crystal powder, medicinal materials, etc.
The mage walked straight to the bed, took off his long leather boots and sat behind the table. After tidying up the slightly messy desk, he began his routine work after casting: shallow meditation.
At this time, the shallow meditation performed by the mage is neither to improve magic nor mental power. It simply slowly restores the mental power and magic power consumed by the caster after using magic, and maintains the ability to perceive the external environment to the greatest extent.
Meditation is divided into two categories in terms of meditation: one is shallow meditation, that is, when meditating, it can maintain the perception of the external environment to the greatest extent, and can forcefully relieve meditation without harming the meditator's spirit and body. The disadvantage is that the effect is not good. The second is deep meditation. Deep meditation is that the caster cannot maintain the perception of the external environment after meditation, nor can he end the meditation at any time. Only when the time specified by the meditator's subconscious has reached the time. If he is forced to wake up by an outsider, the harm to the meditator will be very great, and he will generally lose half of his mental power or magic power forever, and die at worst. However, the effect of deep meditation is three to five times that of the former.
Meditation is divided into three categories in terms of effect, and each category has several divisions: one is the spiritual effect, either to restore mental power, or to improve mental power, and to strengthen mental power. The second is the magic effect, some focus on recovery, some focus on increasing magic power and purifying magic power. The third is the balance of the first two categories. When meditation, practice mental power and magic power at the same time, either focus on improving mental power, or focus on condensing magic power, or focus on condensing magic power in spiritual power.
This mainly depends on the different effects of meditation methods that the mage chooses. Most general mages choose a more balanced meditation method, but some mages choose to improve mental power or magic power in the early stage, and then slowly supplement the shortcomings on the other side. Our mages are now conducting a more balanced meditation method, which can restore mental power and magic power at a faster pace. Of course, the meditation method of ordinary mages is relatively low-level, and the effect is not good. Advanced meditation methods are mastered in advanced academies, nobles, army, and royal families, and rarely spread among ordinary mages.
The meditative mage is the orphan of a warrior from the Blue Feather Empire. His name is Shaoke and his surname is Xueye. He was originally an ordinary office worker in another world, but he became a new member of the world in a daze during a car trip.
Because his family in this world was a seventh-generation military family, after his father died, he was adopted by the military orphans of the country and raised it until he was eighteen years old. The empire called him. When he was young, because he had an adult soul in his body, he was quite energetic and was sent to the Magic Academy to study magic. Our time travelers started learning magic at the age of five, until when he was eighteen years old, the military orphans of the military had no obligation to let him study freely. In order to survive, he responded to the recruitment of the empire and officially became a wizard with the army.
After becoming a military mage, he began his service career on the border of the northernmost mist forest of the empire. He was not allowed to leave this cold northern border and return to the territory to start his magical learning, or serve in the army. Of course, this is not the question that the current mage is considering.
As a time traveler, the wizard wanted to make a big move in this other world, but when he discovered that the world's business, residence, food and culture were quite developed, the knowledge he had could no longer support him here. There was no way he could only take advantage of which opportunity to start learning magic. Although he had fantasized that he would become a magic god-level figure as soon as he practiced magic, the cruel reality completely destroyed his fragile soul. He finally knew when he read novels to harm people! He didn't learn more about how to make steel and upgrade machine tools...
The mage has been in this world for twenty years and has served here for more than two years. Long-term magic learning can enable him to find out many things that civilians do not know. At least after thirteen years of study and information, he learned about the general situation of the world. After discovering this situation, he once felt that this world was much better than that of the world before. Of course, the premise that his life would not be threatened can make him feel the good. But as he began to serve on the border, he gradually re-understood the difference between this world and the previous world.
