Starting From Zero

Chapter 50 Magic Tutor

"Don't worry about this." The Jade Emperor said to Taibai Jinxing: "Take Ziri to make arrangements, and then give the monster to Ziri as a vanguard. As for the power...! 90% should be sealed and 10% should be left. enough."

If the Jade Emperor can leave me 10%, I have nothing to say. Anyway, the Sky Fire Enchantress is very powerful, so even if she only leaves 10%, she should be a very powerful magic pet.

After bidding farewell to the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing took me to the Demon Slaying Platform in Heaven, which is the execution ground for dealing with high-level monsters. It was a huge square stone platform with void on three sides, and only one side was connected to the foundation of the heaven. There is a meter-high stone railing around the platform, but its ornamental value is obviously greater than its practical use. Immortals are all good at levitation, so they are not afraid of falling even if there is no railing. The monsters that can be sent here for execution are all extraordinary. Even a dog with a railing of one meter high can't stop it, let alone monsters?

There are seven stone pillars distributed in the center of the platform in the form of a fan. The stone pillars are carved with Panlong statues, and there are many of them. The column is about as thick as a person's arms and about ten meters high. There is also a cloud ear on the top of each pillar, which is somewhat similar to the top of the Huabiao in front of the palace.

At this time, there is an iron chain connected to each pillar. The other end of the chain is locked to the limbs, neck and waist of Tianhuo Shenji respectively. The two iron chains on the waist are locked together. Shen Ji lay listlessly on the ground, with a strange golden light floating all over her body. She looked very beautiful, but in fact it was a seal of suppressive power.

"This is the monster." Taibai Jinxing pointed at the Heavenly Fire Goddess Ji in the field. "I'll arrange it right away..."

"Taibai, wait a moment." Taibai Jinxing heard Erlangshen's cry before he finished speaking. As soon as I turned around, I saw Erlang Shen running over in a hurry. "Wait a minute, I have something to say to Taibai."

"What's wrong with Zhenjun?" Taibai Jinxing looked at Erlang Shen and asked.

"Take a step to speak." Erlang Shen pulled Taibai Jinxing away from me and the other gods on the demon-slaying stage, then went to a distance and started whispering to Taibai Jinxing and whispered.

When I was here, I saw that Erlangshen seemed to be begging Taibaijinxing for something. Taibaijinxing’s brows jumped when he heard this, and then he seemed a little reluctant, so he refuted a few words with Erlangshen. Erlang Shen seemed to have another trump card, and when Taibai Jinxing didn't agree, he said something else. Taibai Jinxing was obviously very angry after hearing this. She stepped back a few steps and yelled a few words with a blushing face. Because the mood is more exciting. So the sound is a bit loud. I vaguely heard something like "blackmail" or "undermining".

I was observing the changes over there, but the gods around me were all staring at me, so I didn't notice the abnormal behavior of Erlang Shen and Taibai Jinxing over there. Now that I have completely finished covering my wrist, the flames on my body are burning like a moving fire, and all the gods around me are staring at me as if they are seeing a monster. I guess if it hadn't been for the fact that Taibai Jinxing had brought me here so politely, everyone would have been ready to execute me on the spot.

When I noticed that everyone's eyes were wrong, I quickly asked: "Why are everyone looking at me like this?"

"Are you Ziri?" Only then did a god general ask in surprise.

After I nodded, the atmosphere around me suddenly relaxed. People in Heaven now know me very well. Just now they thought I was a monster because I couldn't see my face because of the flames. No one knew it was me, so the atmosphere was tense. As soon as I explained, everyone understood and came up to chat. The good emotional foundation I laid by treating wounded soldiers in Heaven last time has made me quite popular in Heaven. Even those who have not been directly helped at least have some good impressions of me.

The negotiation between Erlangshen and Taibaijinxing over there seemed to be over. When Erlangshen passed by me, he whispered in my ear: "Don't say I'm not mean, I'll help you to show my sincerity and get some benefits this time."

There are too many people around so I can’t ask what the benefits are, but since Erlang Shen said it. Then it must be there. Taibai Jinxing reluctantly walked to the field and waved to several gods to explain. Then these gods quickly went to find more gods. After a while, dozens of gods gave Tianhuo Shenji a Surrounded in the center of the field.

Taibai Jinxing read out the Jade Emperor's imperial edict, and then issued orders to the gods who had taken their positions. Each of these gods took out a red pill, swallowed it, and then began to chant spells. After a while, the yellow light belt was connected between them to form a circle. The circle flashed and suddenly the crowd gathered towards the center. Then a golden collar suddenly appeared around Tianhuo Shenji's neck, and there were a large number of runes on the collar. Almost at the moment when the light belt turned into a collar, the immortals who had initiated the method suddenly lay staggering on the ground one by one, but they quickly got up and sat cross-legged in meditation as if they were recovering.

After all, Tianhuo Shenji is not an easy existence. Even if so many people were gathered, it would not be an easy task to seal 90% of her current strength. Injuries were inevitable. But I don’t know if this is the “benefits” Erlangshen mentioned. What is the specific role of this "benefit"?

Taibai Jinxing waved to me and called me to the scene, and then said to me: "It is your own business to accept her as a magic pet. Our work has been completed. After you have completed the acquisition, inform the general over there that the key is here In their hands, I will say hello to them first. I have to go back to resume my life, so I will say goodbye first."

As soon as Taibai Jinxing left, Erlang Shen also ran away. I didn't even have the chance to ask what the benefits were. Walking into the venue, Tianhuo Shenji was still lying there motionless, as if the seal just now was not placed on her.

"Are you the executioner in charge of executions?" Tianhuo Shen Ji suddenly asked.

I suddenly wanted to make a joke. "Well. Do you have anything else to explain?"

"I don't have anyone to worry about. Who should I answer to? Besides, although my immortal body is not completely indestructible, you probably don't have this ability."

I continued: "We already know who let you out, and he will be pressed over after a while. Do you want to die first and let him watch you get killed, or do you want him to die first and you watch him get killed?" ?”

"This is none of his business." Tianhuo Shenji suddenly burst out, jumping up suddenly and startling me. The seven iron ropes collapsed instantly. The sound of "clicking" shook people's hearts and made them panic. The surrounding gods knew that these pillars and iron ropes were specially designed to suppress demons. It cannot be broken by strong force. So there was no reaction at all. But this time they miscalculated slightly. Tianhuo Shenji was pulled by seven chains and could not take a step forward. Her whole body stood up. She yelled loudly, yelling like crazy. The chain behind actually made a clicking sound, and the stone pillar also roared and was almost broken.

Just as the generals were about to charge forward, I quickly turned around to stop them. After they all retreated, they turned around and said to Tianhuo Shenji: "It seems that you are indeed a person of faith. I spent one wish to save you."

Tianhuo Shenji immediately stopped inexplicably when she heard my words. "who are you?"

"Can't you hear my voice?" I waved and Phoenix Dragon Space appeared on the side, and the little dragon girl walked out of it. "You should know me when you see her, right?"

"Are you Ziri? Why are you like this?" Tianhuo Shenji finally recognized it.

"It's not all for you." I explained: "When you were trapped in the house, the black unicorn shot a black mist at you. You should have seen it, right?"

"Well, I saw it. You seemed to have blocked it for me with your body."

I nodded: "First of all, don't blame the black unicorn. It's not an attack spell at all, so it has no damage ability. But I didn't know it at the time, so I jumped up to block the blow for you. I've been there myself. Eighteen levels of hell, carrying a lot of evil energy on the body. The mist that the black unicorn shoots is the concentrated evil energy. He may want to use these things to make you be corroded by the evil energy and become his companion, but it ends up being shot. It killed me. I originally had a wrist wheel that could block the evil energy, but this time the power was too great. The wrist wheel couldn't withstand such a high concentration of evil energy and couldn't cover it. As soon as it was put on my hand, it would explode. As a result, I It’s like this ‘touch’.”

"To be honest. This is not bad." Tianhuo Shenji looked at me again and said: "You know? It seems that your power is much stronger now than at the beginning. Although this evil spirit is entangled with you and made you like this, However, your body seems to be adapted to the evil spirit, and your strength has actually improved."

"Anyway, this new change makes Heaven owe me a favor, and the Jade Emperor promised to let me make any request. I chose to let you join my force."

"Did they agree?" Tianhuo Shenji asked excitedly.

"I agreed in principle, but there is a limit."

"What restrictions?"

"Heaven does not trust your power and is afraid that you will go out to cause trouble. They need you to be under absolute control. Therefore, they need a guarantee, and the way of this guarantee is that you become my demon pet. The blood contract has absolute constraints. No matter how powerful you are, it's useless. Heaven only believes in this ultimate power confinement method, otherwise they will not agree to release you. And even so, they have blocked 90% of your strength. The newly added one on your neck The golden collar is the seal."

"You want me to be your magic pet?" Tianhuo Shenji's voice was surprised, but there was not much anger. She lowered her head, rolled her eyes a few times and then raised her head. "Okay. It seems that our fate has not yet ended. At least you are kind to me. I believe you will not harm me."

"Okay, now I will help you with the blood ritual. The best situation is for you to take the initiative to confirm. First absorb a little of my blood, and then think about making a contract. I will open the contract and accept it and it will be completed."

Tianhuo Shenji was a little embarrassed and said: "But you are covered in fire...?"

"Oh. That's it." The flames swirling around my body were suddenly swept up into the sky by a black whirlwind. After the flames disappeared, Silver Moon appeared in place. "There will be no problem if you change to this body. However, since my level is relatively low, your power may be limited again. But don't worry, I plan to level up as soon as possible and I will be able to improve it soon."

"Understood, I will follow you until you no longer need me." Tianhuo Shenji suddenly lightly cut the back of my hand with her claws, and a few drops of blood were 'licked' into her mouth. A red magic rune flashed on her forehead and disappeared, and then I immediately felt the prompt that the contract was completed. The system requires naming.

Tianhuo Shenji is dressed in fiery red and her fighting power is so strong. I really want to name her Fire. She is so powerful that she suffers disaster wherever she goes. It would have been appropriate to call it a fire. But then I thought about it, Tianhuo Shenji is a female after all, and the name Fire is not suitable. After thinking about it, she asked for her own opinion, and got a new name - Hong Ling. This is not my name, but the original name of Tianhuo Shenji. Skyfire is her specialty, Shenji is her title, and Hongling is her real name.

After completing the magic pet contract, the general came over to help me open the chain without me calling. We were sent out of heaven under the guidance of several heavenly soldiers.

After leaving Nantianmen, Hong Ling took a deep breath. "The taste of freedom!"

"Freedom? Haven't you been able to get it a long time ago?" I said while flying towards Essinger with Hong Ling. "Actually, you shouldn't fight with them. If you leave directly, they won't be able to stop you."

"Do you really think I can run away?" Hong Ling sneered twice. "Do you know why I didn't listen to you and leave instead of continuing to fight with those guys?"

"I don't know. But I believe you have a reason."

"Don't say it so touchingly, please." Hong Ling said playfully, "No one has ever said such thoughtful words to me in so many years. I almost shed tears."

"The magic pet master is a profession that relies on the magic pet to fight, so it must be the same as the magic pet. If you don't even understand my tactical intentions, how can you fight? Wait until I return to Essinger to introduce my other You can get to know the magic pet, or you can understand it after watching our battles a few times. The magic pet and I are one, and the strongest way to fight is when everyone cooperates seamlessly. Okay. First, tell me why you didn't run away at that time? "

Hong Ling looked up at the sky and said: "You may not feel it, but I feel it. Nuwa had already arrived when we fell from the sky to the ground. She was watching near us at the time. If I chose to escape at that time, what would happen to Heaven? She definitely can’t stop me, but she will immediately stop me.”

"Nu Wa? Has she come to the lower world?"

"It's the land." Hong Ling said helplessly: "Ever since I was blocked by the four holy beasts at the gate of heaven, I have lost the chance to leave. Anyway, I will be caught as soon as I run away. I simply have to fight with those gods. If I have a good time and then get taken back, at least I can take time to reflect on it during the next sealing period. It won't be too boring."

"You really know how to enjoy yourself in hardship!" I smiled unnaturally.

Hong Ling still said indifferently: "You won't understand. After being imprisoned for such a long time, there is nothing that can be used to solve the problem. In order not to go crazy, I must learn to find some subtle things to solve the problem. Oh, by the way. . Speaking of which, after such a long time, I have actually researched a lot of things that I would never have thought about before.”

"Let's hear if you have anything special to say."

"Because it was too boring, I studied the use and collection of spells in the seal. It can be said that how to gather mana is an entry-level thing. No one will spend too much time studying this thing, but I thought deeply and used my own After thousands of years of repeated experiments with this power, I finally discovered something that no one had ever understood before."

"What is it?" I suddenly became interested in Hong Lingdi's research. Weina was also sealed for a long time at the beginning. She was so bored that she began to research various theories randomly, and as a result, she came up with a bunch of strange theories. Don't tell me yet. Later, after our guild established the Magic Research Institute, we actually used a lot of these things. It can be said that many of our guild's technologies are based on Vina's research. Hong Ling was originally stronger than Wei Na, and more importantly, she was sealed for much longer than Wei Na. After such a long time, even an idiot should have produced some results, not to mention Hong Ling is still a genius.

After hearing my question, Hong Ling wanted to explain it to me. If you suddenly hear that someone is interested in something that you have been researching for so long, no matter how deep your thoughts are, you can't help but want to show off like a child. But Hong Ling didn't seem to be good at talking, and couldn't organize a suitable explanation in words for a long time. It was best to sweat it out in a hurry. I reassured her. Only then did she think of a way: "Although I can't say it, I can do it. In this way, let's land first. I'll give you a tight grip."

"OK."

After landing on the ground, we happened to be in an uninhabited mountainous area. I released all the demon pets by the way to meet Hong Ling and introduce them to everyone. Hong Ling gave a brief introduction to everyone. But she is really not good at communicating. Despite everyone's enthusiasm, she remains the same. In the end, she was asked to demonstrate her research results to us first.

Originally Hong Ling wanted me to release the magic, but now that the magic pets are here, and Yin Yue's body releases only light magic, the effect is not obvious, so Ling is the one to release it instead. After all, he is a professional mage, so Ling is much better than me, a half-way monk like me. It's a demonstration anyway. There was no need for large-scale magic. Ling casually snapped his fingers and created a ball of black earthly flames between his fingers.

Hong Ling just glanced at it, and the Ming Yan in Ling's hand suddenly exploded with a bang. Fortunately, the flame was very small, and the explosion was very powerful. It only spattered a few sparks and disappeared. Ling looked at his hand in surprise. "What's going on? I just felt that the magic suddenly went out of control. What happened? Hong Ling? Is this the result of your research?"

Hong Ling smiled and said: "Almost. I found that magic and spells are the same. You need to gather magic power or mana before using it, and then condense the actual effect before releasing it. If you want to block a magic, you must have a power that is basically equivalent to it. Only then can we do it. This is a real head-to-head confrontation between the strengths of both sides. When encountering an opponent with stronger magic power, the one with weaker magic power will always lose."

Ling said anxiously: "We all know this! Of course, a mage has a strong magic power to defeat a weak magic power. It's a very simple truth."

Hong Ling shook her head: "It looks simple, but in fact it is not simple. I have studied these boring things for thousands of years before I discovered the secret."

"But what is your secret?" Xiaochun asked.

"This is...how do I put it!" Hong Ling began to wander around again. It's a pity that she only has this fox form. Although she can change size, she cannot change into human form. Otherwise, she would be scratching her head now to think of a solution. But she thought of it quickly. "By the way, I know how to describe it. Like this. It's like you are standing in the middle of the road, and the attack magic released by your opponent is a carriage. After the magic is released, it is equivalent to the carriage hitting you. If you want to use your own To block this car, you must have the same strength as this car, which is very difficult. But my method is not to block it hard. It is to find a way to do something to the car. For example, put a stone in front of the wheel, or Break the axle so the car falls apart or flips over before it hits me."

Everyone here is a master. Ling and Xiaochun are both goddesses. When it comes to playing magic, they are all masters. Hong Ling only came out a little bit, and everyone understood it immediately. Ling was the first to say: "What you mean is that when the opponent gathers magic power to attack, don't block the magic. Instead, input the power of different attributes into the magic to detonate it or simply deflect it."

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"The idea is very good." Xiaochun also nodded and said: "But what should we do when using it? When the opponent gathers magic power, a magic vacuum zone will appear around him. It is difficult for our magic power to penetrate!"

Hong Ling immediately said: "It doesn't require too much power. I just use a little magic power to disturb the other party."

Yeyue immediately said: "I understand. Hong Ling means that just a little magic power in the air is sent into the opponent's energy circle, and there is no need to 'manipulate' a lot of magic power. The less magic power is 'manipulated' when the magic is released, the better It’s easy to control. At our level, when we release an apprentice-level magic, we can definitely control it as we wish. Even in the forbidden magic field, we can actually light a small spark or something in it. If we just create a little magic to interfere with the other party, then our Strength can definitely do it.”

Xiao Longnu said worriedly: "Doesn't this mean that the mage has become a waste? Anyone can destroy any large-scale magic from a long distance with just a little control. How can this mage still survive?"

Hong Ling smiled and said: "When I was bored in the seal, I competed with myself. First, I studied the attack method. Then I studied how to defend, and then I thought of a stronger attack method. Then I studied ways to defend against this stronger attack. Defense method. The mana destruction I just talked about with you is actually not a panacea. If it were really that easy to use, I would use it to deal with Nuwa."

"Then how to defend yourself?"

"Actually, it's very simple." Hong Ling said: "When you use magic, you actually only borrow a few kinds of mana from nature, and the rest becomes the magic power used by the other party to interfere with your spell casting. If you put the opposite power before releasing the magic, All the attributes of the magic are dispersed, and the opponent cannot interfere. For example, if you want to destroy a light magic, you can send dark magic in, so that the light magic will explode. When using fire magic, you can send water magic to interfere with the opponent. Think about it. If you want to defend, you should disperse it first. When casting light magic, disperse the dark magic power to a distance. Even if the opponent sends earth or fire magic power, it will not interfere with your normal casting, so you can defend safely. I just looked at you, and it seems that you can be used in pairs. Especially Ling and Xiaochun, one is black and the other is white. If you use magic together, it will drain out both kinds of mortal magic, and the other party will not be able to interfere with you at all. .”

"That makes sense!" A Di Na nodded. "But I am a mermaid, and the magic I use is water. I need fire to cooperate with me to defend!"

Xiaofeng jumped over immediately: "It doesn't matter, the two of us are paired up, one fire and one water just match each other."

Lucky said proudly: "It's better for us dragons to fight with guns, no matter how proficient the opponent is in magic."

Hong Ling immediately said: "Actually, it's useless for you to be strong. My research found that the body is actually very vulnerable to trauma. Even my immortal body is still fragile, but many people don't know where the body's weaknesses are. So I always feel that they are very strong. I have not studied the giant dragons, but they should be no different from ordinary creatures, and they must have serious flaws."

I shook my head: "Halo, it seems that you have researched a lot, Hong Ling. Let's do this. When you go back, tell the people at the institute about your research results, and maybe you can come up with a lot of good things. We It’s better to go back now. If you continue to study like this, don’t think about Isengard tomorrow.”

Everyone returned to Fenglong Space, and I took Hongling on the road again. Arriving at Essinger soon, Hong Ling was dumbfounded. Although I kept telling her that Essinger was spectacular along the way, she obviously didn't take it seriously. When I actually saw it with my own eyes, I was immediately shocked.
