Chapter 14 You have a talent for magic

"The goddess' gift popped out of the divine art array?" Old man Kipling held the Red Bull and rubbed his fingers on it: "What kind of metal is this? It's not like steel, nor is it silver or copper... Also, why is the goddess' gift not the lightning sign, but the two cows facing each other?"

"I think people use lightning paintings to represent goddesses, but this does not mean that goddesses can only draw lightning, right? I noticed that the patterns of these two cows are very symmetrical and the materials are special, so it is difficult for people to draw them, right?" Feiqi shrugged his shoulders, hoping to characterize this matter as soon as possible: "What else can pop out of the magic array come from, right?"

"This is right." Old Man Kipling nodded and put down the can: "Since it is a gift from the goddess, you must drink it with gratitude. Everyone will give it a penny, so don't waste it. After drinking it, take the jar back and I'll see what the ingredients are. Oh, you can leave, Fitch keep it."

The three little friends solemnly took their own "sweet sugar drink" and left with a smile, leaving Feiqi facing the old man alone. He reached out to touch his forehead and found that there was no sweat he imagined there. However, the palm of his hand was indeed wet.

"This is really a magical thing. I remember there was a similar record in "The Battle Song of King Yar", saying that devout believers will receive blessings, taste happiness, and eliminate body aging." The old man immersed in his memory for a moment, and then continued: "But I have not understood one thing yet. Although the Count Hall family is a traditional and pious Paladin inheritance, I cannot feel the holy favor from you. You are an alchemist, not a priest, right? Have you ever shown the power of magic?"

Feiqi shook his head. He didn't want to lie at all on this issue. Suddenly, as if his mind suddenly became clear, a very good explanation popped up: "Sir, these drinks given by God should not be for me, but for the entire Ice Peak Fortress. Think about it, if it was for me, a can would be enough, and there wouldn't be so much. Obviously, the goddess is praising the long-term persistence and loyalty of the Ice Peak Fortress. I might just happen to encounter such a thing."

The old man nodded and his brows stretched out: "Yes, it should be like this, and only this is reasonable. However, being able to coincide with the situation means that there is some connection between you and the great goddess, and maybe you have the potential to become a priest."

Some kind of connection with the goddess? It can only be a connection that is purified by the goddess. If the soul does not have the devil in its fusion, Feiqi may try to become a servant of the goddess. This consideration has to a large extent nothing to do with faith, but reason. The Goddess of Truth, Thunder is the largest and only god in the world that has been fully recognized. It has a complete organizational structure and a strong military power. She can also provide the believers with healing, blessings, protection and even resurrection. Even after death, the soul has the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God and continue to exist as a prayer. Why not hold such a thigh?

The devil has no future! He can be blown up by a sick alchemist and attached half-deadly to a blue-collar worker who works in IT. Even if he has various magical abilities, he will still be shrunk in the mortal world and cannot act openly and can only hide in a place that the goddess has not yet reached.

"I'm willing to try..." At this time, Fitch must not directly reject the old man, otherwise it would be too suspicious: "However, I haven't tried it when I was learning alchemy. Please don't have any hope."

"Try it first, you won't hurt anything anyway." The old man patted his thigh and said, "Even if you really can't use magic, you must have a fate with magic power, otherwise you will not be able to activate the power of the magic array."

"I'm also very interested in spells without divine power." Feiqi mentioned this matter again. "You said that you are willing to teach me some knowledge about this. After all, no matter how much my physical fitness improves, I miss the best age, so I can't reach the level of Giles. With alchemy and spells, I might be able to go out on another path."

"Do you want to learn now? Do you still have extra energy?" the old man asked with a smile.

"It's very tired, it's not fake. Teacher Kaile has definitely not been lazy. Every time I finish training, I'm almost dead. However, your relief potion works very well, and I've survived. Moreover, physical fatigue does not affect my spirit. Anyway, I still have to meditate. At this time, I read the book and do basic learning. It should be fine."

"You are full of confidence! But I still have one more question..." The old man's eyes were bright and seemed to see through Feiqi's heart. "From your performance at the Ice Peak Fortress, you are humble, friendly, tenacious, intelligent, and you have to be studious. I really can't think of how a person like you can win the title of "Capital Wave Dog" and has no good reputation in the entire aristocratic circle?"

Fitch fell silent. This was indeed a difficult but must-answer question. With the arrival of the Ice Peak Fortress as a node, he could start his new life. He could send Eddie and Giles, who were familiar with him, to purchase things together, but he could not prevent his past experience from being transmitted to the Ice Peak Fortress. Sooner or later, for example, today, he would explain this change.

"I've encountered assassination on the road, I'm dead - or I think I've died once." Feich told the truth. "I felt my soul left my body and fell all the time. I saw hell, I saw the devil, and people controlled and hurt by the devil. I think back to the things I've done, and those who are obviously wrong."

"I came back magically. Of course I have to make changes. I have not learned the qualities you praised me just now. I understand them all, but I just haven't practiced them. I... I am not my nature to some extent now, just like an actor playing a role. But I hope that the quality of this good person's character can become a part of me."

"Don't worry about children, this is the case for the world. Seeing role models and imitating them is not called acting, but learning. We are all in this process since we fell to the ground. You are good now, stick to it, I think this is why the goddess can show miracles around you."

If the goddess really showed her miracle, it would probably be a divine thunder that struck her? Feiqi dared not work the goddess to take action.

"This book is "Prayer and Ritual". You can follow the above method. I suggest you choose the body's divine grace ritual and learn this to consider other things. On the one hand, you have triggered miracles from the divine grace, and the success rate will be high. On the other hand, once you learn this ritual, you don't need to relieve the potion. The ritual eliminates fatigue and treats hidden injuries more effectively."

In addition to magic, Mr. Kipling also has a travesty about spells and general alchemy. "The room opposite the platform on the fourth floor is the library room, and the red seven-row shelf is a book related to spells. You can find a book called "Stories, Mysterious Wisdom in Proverbs", which can be used as a beginner of spells. I have to remind you that it is very difficult not to cast spells without divine power. Not everyone can succeed, and not be able to repeat this success next time. Magic is always the best choice. Alchemy is not as strong as spells, but at least it is more stable."

"You must be prepared to keep failing, but I don't want you to be trapped in failure and be incompetent for life." The old man took a key from his waist: "This is the spare key in the collection, don't lose it. If you can understand the books inside, you can read them, but don't practice them, especially before asking for my opinion. Especially those knowledge of martial arts and school secret techniques have requirements for both physical and mental health, and blind practice may lead to death."

Feiqi took the key: "I understand, I promise to be cautious."

"You are a smart and restrained person, and you can even suppress drug addiction. I believe in your self-control. Feichi, how is your withdrawal reaction now? Can you tell me what kind of addiction is?"

"When the body is still feeling a little uncomfortable, it's much better than before, and it's getting better gradually. I firmly believe that I can finally eliminate these symptoms. Oh, the medicine I took in the past is quite complicated, but the most important thing is Magic Dream."

"Mao Meng? How did you have this medicine? Where did the prescription come from? Why should I take it?"

"I can't remember. Is there anything wrong with this medicine? I only know that it has the strongest hallucination effect among all the alchemy formulas I know. Please forgive me, I don't really want to recall and describe that feeling. When I think about it, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable now."

"The magic dream is an auxiliary drug used by the caster to enhance the effect of elemental meditation. Non-casters cannot use this drug, and now even the caster does not use it as much as possible. The problem is that it is too addictive. No matter how careful the caster is and the drug technology is good, it may be hit. Its prescription is confidential and no longer spread between the casters. You... you shouldn't be able to know it."

"This is the first time I have heard of these things..." Feiqi felt that his past life was conspiracy, tired and useless. "Don't worry, I finally practiced my body a little, and I will definitely not use potions like Magic Dream. For the time being, I don't even want to touch alchemy, let alone poison myself by refining medicine."

"Well, you can leave. Don't show ease in front of Kelly, you will suffer."

Feiqi smiled and left the room with "Prayer and Rite". There was an hour before supper that belonged to him, enough for him to go to the library to find "Stories, Mysterious Wisdom in Proverbs", and maybe he could see any other books.

In Feiqi's memory, the mages are very mysterious, or in other words, "sparse in number" and "unfamiliar". The mages do have some magical powers, many stories about them, some of which are confirmed by honest knights, and have high credibility. However, the mages do not occupy any position in world history, as if they cannot be put on the table.

There is only one truly famous mage, "Marquis of Double Months" Sby Steso. But his reputation is not because of spells, but because of his romantic love history. After all, as the emperor's designated son-in-law, how could a guy who dared to face the threat of the entire imperial guards and elope with a silver dragon woman? Especially the silver dragon later killed the royal army that came to encircle and suppress it, and rushed to the palace, kidnapped the princess, and stuffed it to his husband...

This kind of thing is popular in folk novels, but it’s fine to think about it. Feiqi doesn’t think this kind of thing will happen to him. Now he is more pragmatic and improves his strength and can stay active in front of the devil.
