After a tiring day, the caravan finally arrived at their destination-Terme City. By the time everyone arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, the sky had already darkened.
"Is Abel still not awake?" Not only Winst and the others, even Loke couldn't help but worry.
"Yes, it's still the same." Alice stayed with him in the carriage for the whole day, not even coming down to eat. Unfortunately, Abel did not wake up.
"Brad, are you sure that Abel's symptoms are definitely caused by mental exhaustion?”Avril still found it hard to believe that Abel had spiritual power.
"I'm not mistaken. I had an overdraft experience before, but I woke up in less than a few hours.”
"Then we can only wait for Abel to wake up. Miss Alice, you should go back and rest. Leave this to us.”With regards to Abel's symptoms, Winst and the others had no choice but to wait.
"I want to accompany him." Alice gently shook her head, but her tone was unusually firm.
"Sigh…" Winst sighed helplessly and asked Babasa to send Abel to his room. Looking at Alice who followed him in, he and Bu Lang were speechless.
In the room, Alice sat quietly by the bed and looked at the sleeping Abel. She felt sad. It had only been one night, and yet, Abel had become like this. Why did Abel go to the bar and fight with someone last night? Is he regretting being with me? Time slowly passed in Alice's wild imagination.
"Oh! Where was this place? Hmm? Alice?" When Abel woke up and saw the strange decorations, he was stunned. When he saw Alice sleeping by the bed, he was even more shocked.
"What the hell is going on?”Abel muttered to himself as he tried to recall what had happened. Oh, right, I was so depressed that I went to drink. That damn wine had such a strong after-effect. Then, they seemed to have started fighting, but why? By the way, I think I was hit on the head, and then his head exploded. Damn it! It seemed that I had drunk too much. How could a person's head explode for no reason?
But how did I come back? And why was Alice here? Wasn't she sleeping? Abel, who had just regained consciousness, did not know that a day had passed. Alice, who was sleeping, felt that she was gently picked up and placed on the bed. After a tiring day, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Seeing that Alice was asleep, Abel walked out with a head full of questions. He wanted to find someone to ask what happened.
"What time is it now? Why wasn't there even a single person who wasn't sleeping?”Aber walked to the courtyard and looked at the dark surroundings before realizing that everyone was probably asleep. The depressed Aber paced back and forth in the courtyard, wondering if he would be beaten up by Winst if he disturbed him at this time.
"Who is it?" After many years of mercenary life, everyone had developed the good habit of staying alert while sleeping. The sound of Abel walking around the courtyard definitely woke more than one person up.
"Ah! It's me, Albert." As soon as Abel finished speaking, a few people rushed out of the house. Even Avril ran out in her pajamas.
"Albert! You're finally awake. That's great." "Are you alright now?" "Albert, you slept for a really long time.”The noisy greetings sent chills down Abel's spine. Why did it feel like he had just returned from hell? Didn't he just get drunk and sleep?
"Stop! I'm fine now. Can someone tell me what happened?”
"It's good that you're alright. Everyone, go back and rest. Albert, come in with us. By the way, Avril, your pajamas are very beautiful, but you'd better change before coming over.”As Avril cried out in surprise, everyone went back to rest. Other than Babasa, who was sleeping like a pig, and Catherine, who was too embarrassed to come out in her pajamas, the rest of the Stardust Mercenaries went to Winst's room.
"Are you saying that I killed that person with a mental attack? You even made his head explode?" After listening to Brad's explanation of what happened and his speculation, Abel was dumbfounded.
"Although this is just my guess, it is the closest possibility to the truth. The question now is, Abel, why do you have spiritual power?”
"Well... Actually, I've been meditating every day since I was eight.”
"What? You're actually a mage?" Although everyone had already guessed this result, they were still surprised to hear Abel admit it himself.
"I can't be considered a Magician. I have no attributes, so other than meditation, I can't cast any spells.”
"No attribute? There are so many strange things happening to you. What exactly happened? Tell us quickly.”Abel's words definitely aroused everyone's curiosity. Even Catherine listened attentively with her eyes wide open, afraid that she would miss out on anything.
"This has to start from when I was eight years old..." Abel slowly recounted what had happened between him and Rott.
"So you've been meditating for seven years? And at that kind of insane speed? So you should be a sorcerer now?”As a mage, Brad's eyes almost popped out when he heard that Abel could absorb seven elements at the same time.
"Actually, I only know how to meditate. I don't know that I need to condense a cyclone to advance, so I've only just advanced to become a regular mage.”
"Sigh, what a pity. If you had known the cultivation method earlier, you would have achieved something by now.”Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Then what realm have you reached now? A beginner mage?"
"Hmm…I had just advanced into a regular Magician after a month of training. I should be considered a beginner Magician. When the training ended, I should already be an intermediate Magician. But when I woke up just now, I felt that I had already reached the realm of an advanced Magician.”Abel was also in a daze.
" Although it's a little abnormal, Abel's feeling should be real. After mental power is overdrawn, there is a certain chance of it increasing after recovery. According to Abel's recovery time, it's possible that he accidentally leveled up. After all, he has been meditating for seven years." When it came to magic, the authority was undoubtedly Brad. As for Catherine, even if she knew about this, she probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
"Does that mean that Abel is now a high-level mage? And a beginner warrior? Dual cultivation?" Avril found the crux of the problem.
"Damn it! Abel, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had spiritual power? If you did, I wouldn't have taught you battle aura!”Winst shouted in frustration.
"Ah? You didn't ask me before. Besides, my mental strength can't cast magic, so of course I want to learn battle energy.”Abel felt wronged.
"Sigh... Albert, don't you know how difficult it is to dual cultivate magic and martial arts?”
"I don't know. I've been meditating after meditating recently. I don't think it's difficult.”
"Since it is called dual cultivation, it is to pursue a balance. There will not be a situation where spiritual power is much higher than battle energy, and vice versa. To put it bluntly, if you wanted to improve your realm, you had to meet both requirements. Otherwise, even if your current mental strength could become a mage god, as long as your combat energy level was not enough, you would not be able to advance to a grand mage.”
"Then I'll spend more time cultivating.”After hearing Winst's words, the only solution that Abel could think of was to suffer more.
"Your current realm is low, so you can show the effect even if you cultivate for a short time. But in the future, it'll be good if you have the energy to concentrate on cultivating one aspect.”
“..”Ai Bo opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He didn't know that there was such a thing as dual cultivation.
"Captain, it's no use worrying now. Maybe this is a chance for Abel.”Seeing the vexed Winst, Brad hurriedly comforted him.
"Brad, what good ideas do you have?”
"Although dual cultivation in magic and martial arts is a little abnormal, it is undeniable that it is indeed powerful. The reason why everyone is afraid of it is mainly because it is already difficult enough for a person to reach the peak in one aspect in their life. No one wants to have another burden. However, it wasn't like there weren't any people who practiced both magic and martial arts in this world. There were always geniuses who were confident enough to choose this path, and what they relied on was nothing more than their cultivation talent that far exceeded ordinary people.”Hearing Brad's words, everyone understood what he wanted to say.
"Looks like everyone knows what I'm going to say. Yes, what I'm trying to say is that Abel is also a genius. What he relies on is his extraordinary meditation speed and his extraordinary talent in training warrior energy. Therefore, Abel only needed to work hard on his battle energy, and his spiritual power would catch up very quickly. In the future, his achievements would also far surpass those of other people who cultivated both magic and martial arts.”Brad's words weren't really a method. The key content was still to cultivate with all their might. However, his words opened up the knot in everyone's heart, making dual cultivation no longer terrifying.
"Yes, Brad is right. I have faith in Abel.”Avril was the first to agree.
"Although I don't understand, if we're talking about suffering, Albert definitely won't be afraid.”Babasa didn't know much about other things, but Abel's hard work was clear to him.
"That... Albert... It will definitely work…" After Catherine finished, Will nodded at Abel, indicating that he had the same idea as everyone else.
"Albert, you have to train hard. Otherwise, you'll disappoint us.”Winst looked at Abel and said earnestly.
"Captain, don't worry. I didn't think that dual cultivation was anything to begin with. After listening to Big Brother Brad's words, I'm even more confident now. Isn't it just cultivation? As long as I can become stronger, I'll definitely do my best.”Abel's eyes were bright and full of confidence. Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts? That's great. This is the path of the strong that I'm pursuing.
"Then there is only one problem we need to face, and that is Abel's lack of attributes.”Brad's words pulled everyone back to reality from their visions of the future.
"Uncle Rott once told me that only death magic and mental magic are suitable for me.”Abel would never forget anything that could improve his strength.
"Don't even think about Necromagic. No one in the Haas Continent knows it. Besides, even if you learn it, you won't be able to escape the Holy Church's pursuit. As for mental magic, it was the only collection in those magic academies. Even if you were a student there, you might not be able to come into contact with it.”
"Does that mean that I've been cultivating my spiritual power without any use?”Abel felt bitter in his heart.
"You can't say that. It's said that there are still some spiritual magic inheritances scattered outside. Maybe we'll have a chance to find them. Moreover, you've already comprehended the spiritual attack, which is the most useful spiritual magic. Think about it, in a battle, if a warrior suddenly used a spiritual attack to attack the other party, who could defend against it?”Brad's eyes lit up.
"Come on, I don't dare to use that spell. I'll lie down for a day after using it.”When Abel thought about how he felt when he fell down, he felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Brad saved him, or he would have died in that bar.
"You had just comprehended it, and your emotions were too unstable at that time, so all of your mental strength was drained. Otherwise, you would have needed to be at least a sorcerer to make that boorish man's head explode.”
"You mean to say that even though I won't faint when I use mental assault again, I won't be able to kill people?”
"Don't look down on mental assault just because you can't kill people. In battle, even if you can stun your opponent for a second, it can create killing intent for you.”
"Eh? That's right, why didn't I think of that! I could totally use it as an auxiliary method. After all, I was still used to the fighting style of a warrior.”Thinking about the upcoming battle, Abel almost drooled.
