"Kloss."
"Your Highness."
"Hughie has some doubts about the cultivation of magic. He hopes that I can help him find an outstanding mentor, so I recommended you. From today onwards, you will be in charge of guiding Xiu Yi in magic while we are on Purgatory Island.”
The red-robed Great Mage Kloss was shocked."But…but Your Highness, he is just a servant. How can you let me teach a lowly servant?”
The little princess 'eyes widened.”
"No, Your Highness, but the problem is that he doesn't have the qualifications to learn magic. You also know that learning magic requires talent, and a lowly servant would never have the talent to learn magic. Moreover, a few days of teaching would not be of any substantial help to him.”
"Master Kloss, first of all, I have to make it clear that I'm now an official apprentice alchemist. I'm no longer a servant.”
"Alchemists are alchemists because they don't have the ability to learn magic.”Cross wouldn't be polite to Gong Hao.
"Yes, Master. You're right. Similarly, I don't necessarily have to learn magic. It's just that I have some doubts about magic cultivation. I think I need an expert in this field to give me an answer, so I request Your Highness to find me the most intelligent and generous master to guide me. The princess recommended you to me."
Hearing his own "most intelligent and generous" evaluation, Kloss's expression became much better."So you just want to get some pointers?”
"Yes, Master."
"Alright then. If that's the case, I can teach you a few things.”
"Alright, master. I will accompany the princess during the day and be her guide. May I ask if I can ask you for advice at night?”
"No problem."
"Then…I look forward to the arrival of night.”
Gong Hao smiled and left.
No one knew why Gong Hao suddenly became interested in magic, but after coming into contact with the soul image left behind by the Giant Demon God, he knew that he had accidentally discovered a big secret.
Elektra was not just an alchemist. He was also a mage, a very powerful mage. He was a true mage, not a half-baked alchemist.
He saw with his own eyes that Elektra had used magic to stop the meteorite from falling. At that time, there was no fluctuation of mageweath on his body, which meant that he had used his own power.
This was an astonishing secret. Gong Hao felt that he might be getting closer to this alchemy master.
For many years, countless people had been wondering what made this master alchemist so talented and create one super powerful alchemy invention after another. They had never found the answer.
If he relied solely on wisdom, there was no reason why the wisdom of countless alchemists over the past hundreds of years could not compare to his.
Now, Gong Hao saw a new path.
Elektra was not just an alchemist!
If someone else knew this, they might have thought that Elektra was a super genius among geniuses. Not only did he have achievements in alchemy, but his own cultivation had also reached the peak, enough to be worshipped by others. However, Gong Hao's thoughts were the exact opposite. He believed that this might be the true secret behind Elektra's achievements in alchemy!
At that time, he suddenly thought of the Bloody Orchid.
Yes, if you want a plant to survive, you have to try your best to create an environment suitable for it to grow.
If you wanted to achieve the same level of achievement as a Supreme Alchemist, the simplest and stupidest way was to get close to him in all aspects. This was the most likely way to find the source of his power.
Although Gong Hao didn't know how Elektra's magic achievements affected his alchemy, nor did he know what kind of magic he was good at, he was sure that this was undoubtedly a way to open the door to Elektra's wisdom.
Unlike others, Gong Hao never believed in talent and bloodline. From Lancelot, he learned one thing-diligence was the most important talent.
The meditation in the forest did not make him realize that he had the talent to learn magic, but it made him feel that he could do what others could do. He had no reason to give up, so he asked Avril for help.
Avril agreed to his request almost immediately.
This was not difficult for her.
————————————
When night fell, Gong Hao went to Kloss 'room.
"Great Wizard Kloss, thank you very much for the guidance you are about to give me.”
"You don't have to thank me. If it wasn't for the princess, I wouldn't have taught you anything. And I don't think you can learn anything in such a short time.”
"I'll do my best."”
"So, what do you want to know?”
"Master Kloss, I heard that when the elemental resonance reaches a certain level, it will produce the effect of elemental vibration. I want to ask if that's true.”
"Indeed." Kloss nodded." Elemental Resonance is a phenomenon in magic. It only shows the compatibility between a Magician and the magic elements. It represents the potential of a Magician in the field of magic. However, Elemental Shock was an upgraded manifestation of Elemental Resonance. When the resonance between a person and the elements reached a certain level, all the elements would resonate under the same beat. They would respond to the mage's summoning with the same magnitude and speed, just like the boiling effect. This was the Elemental Shock effect. Elemental Shock was a manifestation of high compatibility. If resonance was just establishing a connection, then the shock effect was equivalent to efficient command. If the range of resonance represented the range of influence of a mage's spell, then a mage with the ability to vibrate elements would be able to increase the power of their spell by several times.”
So that was the case. Gong Hao somewhat understood.
"Master, can every mage produce elemental vibrations?”
"Of course not. Everyone with magic talent has the ability to resonate with the elements, but there are very few who can cause elemental vibrations.”
Gong Hao was more and more surprised.
During the day at the Giant Demon God's place, when he used Elemental Perception on the Soul Orb and tried to establish a resonance connection with it, he never thought that he could reach this stage. However, at that moment, he felt an unprecedented degree of compatibility with the soul energy in the pearl.
After returning, he specially checked the research records of the Giant Demon God. It was not that no one had tried to establish resonance with the Giant Demon God. Even though Heinz could not succeed, there were others who had made similar efforts before him. However, no one had ever seen the final world of the Giant Demon God's soul energy.
Then how could he see it? Based on the situation at that time, he realized that he might have accidentally triggered the elemental oscillation effect. He didn't know much about Elemental Oscillation, so he couldn't wait to ask Kloss.
But he didn't expect Kloss to give him such an answer.
Could it be that he had the talent to become a mage? Furthermore, he was a rare mage who possessed the ability to vibrate elements?
He thought of the day when he was meditating in the forest, when the wind element shook in a large area, breaking through the fog and revealing the sunlight. At that time, he thought that it was a phenomenon of elemental resonance, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.
If that was the case, what about Elektra? Could he also be a mage with the ability to vibrate elements? Or did he use some other method to do this?
Gong Hao suppressed the doubts in his heart and said respectfully,"Thank you for your guidance, Master Kloss. May I ask if you have any research on the soul?”
Kloss frowned." I don't know much about soul magic. After all, it's a forbidden spell like Necromagic." But for alchemists, this isn't a taboo. I can tell you what I know. According to my understanding, the soul is actually a type of magic energy.”
" The soul is a type of magic energy?"
"That's right. Magic elements are everywhere. Don't you alchemists think that they exist and form the basic composition of this world? Since that was the case, it was not surprising that souls were formed from magical elements.”
"I see." Gong Hao understood. He had always wondered why humans had souls in the Windy Continent. After all, souls did not exist in his previous world. But now, it seemed that this was clearly caused by different material compositions. In the Windy Continent, the so-called soul was actually the elemental carrier of the human will. Just like how the human body was actually made up of various basic substances, the soul was the same. Magical elements had extraordinary magical abilities. Not only could they become physical objects, but they could also receive will and materialize them.
It was no wonder that he could resonate with the soul energy in the magic bead, because those souls were actually a form of magic elements, just like the elements of wind and earth.
Thinking of this, Gong Hao suddenly became cheerful. Could it be that the creation of flesh puppets was related to elemental vibrations and soul spells?
Wasn't the reason why the Flesh Golem used Soul Energy to establish Elemental Resonance? His heart suddenly lit up, and a door to success slowly opened in his heart.
Gong Hao kept his joy to himself and continued to ask Kloss.
As Kloss answered one by one, Gong Hao's understanding of magic gradually deepened.
He discovered that magic was actually a path of self-development built on the magic plane. It also followed the basic laws of matter and the operation theorem of everything. As long as he understood this, it would be much easier for him to walk down the path in the future.
Kloss was surprised.
Every mage was a person with profound knowledge. Their understanding of magic determined their ability to use it. Relying on powerful magic power alone could not make one truly powerful. Mages also needed sufficient knowledge.
From a person's question, one could tell how much potential that person had for learning magic. Although he hadn't tested Gong Hao before, Kloss found that the blond boy's questions were almost all targeted.
He never asked those simple and ineffective questions. Every question was to the point, and it was often something that even some high-level mages might not understand.
This kind of understanding had nothing to do with his own ability, but it was related to his understanding of magic. It was often said that the mastery of magic knowledge was the second talent of a mage, and it was not wrong. Now, it seemed that this little fellow had an extraordinary talent in understanding magic.
He just didn't know how good his elemental sensing ability was, and how much resonance he could establish.
He had the desire to test Gong Hao.
"Shuiglaire, you told me that you have been meditating for almost half a year. Are you able to establish resonance with the elements?”
"Yes, Master."
"Then meditate for a while. I'll see how compatible you are with the elements.”
"Is it here?" Gong Hao was a little hesitant.
"Yes, right here. Try to establish a connection with the earth elements first.”
Gong Hao nodded and began to meditate.
Kloss regretfully realized that Gong Hao's resonance with the earth element was less than half a room wide. In other words, his affinity for the earth element was basically non-existent.
He shook his head regretfully. Cross was an Earth Mage, and once he cast his Earth Spell, he could cover the entire castle. If he used all his power, he could tear this place into pieces.
Next, he tried Gong Hao's fire element sensing ability, but it was also nothing special.
Kloss shook his head regretfully." Forget it. There's no need to try. Just tell me which element you can sense within 20 meters, right?"”
"As long as you can cover a distance of 20 meters around you, you have the talent of this element?”Gong Hao asked.
"You can't say that. Different Elements are different, but you can understand it that way for now.”
Gong Hao thought for a moment and lowered his head to answer,"Unfortunately, Master, I don't think I can establish such a level of resonance with any element."”
"It's a pity. Your understanding of magic is very strong, and you're very smart, but your talent makes it impossible for you to establish sufficient perception with the elements. You are not made to become a mage, but you are indeed suitable to become an alchemist.”
"This is my regret, Master." Gong Hao replied calmly.
"In that case, you should leave. You're wasting my time here.”
"Yes, Master, but I still hope you can teach me some knowledge about the use of spells and some related spells.”
Kloss looked at Gong Hao strangely and thought for a moment before taking out a few books.
"I don't have much time to teach you these things. This book contained some information on how to read and use spells. The other books recorded various spells such as wind, fire, water, earth, space, light, and darkness. The magic book is not some mysterious and untouchable thing. You can read it at will. You don't have to return it to me. However, Grayer, I have to tell you that even if you learn the application of these spells and the corresponding spells, your elemental sensing ability is too low, so you can't unleash their true power. Oh, perhaps it will be of some use in alchemy. That's what you want, isn't it?”
"Yes, master. I just want to serve the castle and the empire better. That's all.”
"Then…work hard on your own."
————————————————————
After returning to his room and putting away all the other books, Gong Hao couldn't wait to open the book that recorded wind magic.
The book that Kloss gave him basically included the most important and core spells that a Wind Magician should master.
It was also at this time that Gong Hao truly began to enter the sea of magic.
What was different from Gong Hao's imagination was that in order to master magic, other than memorizing a large number of spells and incantations, it was also very important to master the basics. Even if they had enough magic power, they still needed to be familiar with low-level magic to learn high-level magic. Even a wind-type spell had many branches.
For example, as a Wind Apprentice, the basic spells that he could learn were Wind Spirit, Wind Blade Impact, Elemental Condensation, and Air Shield.
Don't underestimate these four simple spells. They represented four completely different directions of development.
The Wind Spirit Spell was a low-level auxiliary spell that could make a person's body light and agile, while the Wind Blade Impact was the most basic wind-type offensive spell. Elemental Condensation was a way for Wind Mages to improve the effects of meditation and increase their mana, while Air Shield was a protective spell for Wind Mages.
Among them, the advanced Wind Spirit Technique was Wind Soaring Technique, Wind Body Technique, Wind Wings Technique, and Flying Technique.
Wind Blade Impact was the foundation of Wind-type offensive spells. The Air Shield was the foundation of defensive spells. After becoming a Basic Wizard, one could master the defensive spell Wind Vortex, which had the ability to counterattack.
After becoming a beginner mage, he could also learn the Wind Warbler, which was the embryonic form of the Wind Summoning Spell.
Thus, even though they were all Wind Mages, they had their own specialties. People would choose to major in a branch according to their own choices and eventually develop their own way of using magic. Of course, there were also full-field studies, which meant that they had to pay a greater price and effort.
This was the reason why a mage usually only practiced spells of one type. They had a good grasp of the main and secondary spells of their own type, not to mention studying spells of other types.
For acolytes, learning all the basic spells was not a big deal. After all, they were all the lowest level spells, so they could learn them quickly. What restricted them was meditation and the accumulation of mana. However, after reaching the advanced level, the cultivation of each spell would take a long time to gradually comprehend.
In addition, to use these spells, it was not suitable to use ordinary human language. The effect would be too bad, and special spells had to be used.
These magic spells were made up of 30 special syllables, and the syllables combined to form a huge language family. There were more than a thousand incantations recorded in the book alone.
It was simply a complicated and profound foreign language.
Such a complicated and huge knowledge was filled with endless mysteries, so much so that Gong Hao almost immediately fell into it and could no longer extricate himself.
He finally understood why alchemists were so diligent in studying alchemy. Only then could he understand how great the pleasure of mastering those spells was.
