Chapter 236 Mediocrity? All-Rounder!

"Teacher, how do you feel?"

Chu Ming walked towards the old man, and the heavy knights on both sides hurriedly untied Aiman's shackles and moved aside.

Aiman ​​smiled so hard that his mouth was stretched to his ears. He grabbed Chu Ming's shoulders, leaned over and whispered: "What's wrong with you, kid? I clearly..."

"Well... it's normal to have some adventures."

Trina smiled and nodded: "A blessing in disguise, it seems that you have gained a lot in Thorn Flower County."

She still remembered that Chu Ming went to Thorn Flower County to find the main material of a secret medicine that could improve the knight's talent, but he didn't expect to encounter the dark beast tide attacking the Violet Principality. After twists and turns, the secret medicine was not found, but the mage's talent was improved.

"Ryan."

The law enforcer's majestic voice sounded at Chu Ming, "The seat is watching you, practice well, and work hard to become an excellent mage."

After the purple figure finished speaking, his body turned into a purple light smoke and dissipated.

Chu Ming looked back and waved to the purple figure.

After the law enforcers disappeared, the trial also came to an end. Some Mage Tower Masters either moved their fingers or rode on elemental creatures and left the Mage Conference Hall.

Most of the Mage Tower Masters had not left yet. They stared at Chu Ming and approached him enthusiastically to talk.

Chu Ming faced these Mage Tower Masters with a polite smile on his face and declined their invitations one by one.

The Mage Tower Master was not disappointed after being rejected. He just said happily that he welcomed Chu Ming to visit the Mage Tower.

Figures disappeared in the Mage Conference Hall, and Chu Ming and the other two also walked out. The purple mist hung down like a gauze curtain, hiding the entire hall in the hazy and mysterious purple.

Trina breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her posture, and said to Chu Ming and the others: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

After that, she waved her hand, and a purple-patterned brown carpet flew out from her sleeves, gradually turning into a magic flying carpet that could accommodate five or six people.

Magic carpets and broomsticks are all magic props commonly used by mages, but these props are usually very expensive. Some mages are reluctant to spend money and will learn some spells that can be used for flying.

But Trina is different. She is an epic mage and a princess of the kingdom. The magic carpet is just a toy for her.

With Aiman, the acting master of the Mage Tower, the few people were not blocked by the knights in the city when flying at low altitude, and they returned to the Mage Tower smoothly.

It was late at night, and the tired Irina had already fallen asleep. Only the tireless Mattie had been waiting silently at the door for Chu Ming and the other two.

After seeing the three people return safely, the maid finally smiled and greeted them to the hall where the lights were not turned off.

Aiman ​​saw that the magic crystal lamp hanging on the dark brown wall had not been extinguished yet, and shook his head distressedly, "How much magic power will be wasted again? It seems that this monthly magic bill will have to be increased again."

Mattie smiled unchanged and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Aiman, the magic bill is nothing to the young lady."

Trina said unhappily: "Instead of caring about this, it is better to find a way to improve your meditation level. If you don't break through the epic, things like today will continue to happen."

The old man scratched his head awkwardly like a child who made a mistake, "Isn't this a failure again..."

Chu Ming came to the rescue and said: "It is indeed difficult to upgrade the mental power to epic."

Different from the dream meditation system that Chu Ming developed in the Fengyang Empire before, the mages here developed another meditation system.

After the arrival of the magic era, most biological races gained the benefits of magic after the recovery of the magic bloodline. For example, the blood race became an immortal species, and can also use unique blood race magic, and have the potential to be promoted to legend.

Although the magic bloodline of the human race is very weak, it has benefited from the return of magic power. Not only the bloodline power, but also the upper limit of mental power has been greatly improved.

In Nalund's era, if wizards wanted to upgrade their mental power to the blue level, they also needed to assimilate dreams and expand their mental power containers outward. Now, whether it is human mages or human wizards, they will only feel the limit of mental power after reaching the deep blue level.

In addition, the substantial increase in the life span of the human race means that modern mages and wizards can spend more time on mental power cultivation.

So under this background, the previous meditation system that mainly developed dreams, which was efficient but also had a high mortality rate, was gradually abandoned. The mainstream breakthrough method of modern mages and wizards has become a new meditation system that combines mental power and magic with a magic external brain.

Compared with the dream external brain, the advantages of the magic external brain are obvious. There is almost no risk in the process of building a magic external brain. Even if there is an error in the construction model, the magic external brain will not explode in the wizard's mental sea like a bomb, but will only gradually dissipate.

However, compared with the previous dream development methods, the defects of the magic construction method are also very obvious, that is, the magic external brain model is too complicated. Just to advance to epic, the magic external brain structure has millions of units, and everyone's spiritual sea situation is different. If you want to make the magic construction synchronized with the spiritual sea, you need to constantly coordinate so that the magic external brain can be in sync with the spiritual sea.

Constructing a magic external brain tests not only the mage's knowledge reserve, but also his IQ, luck, etc. It takes a long time, and if there is a unit construction error, the entire magic module must be redone. Therefore, if an ordinary mage wants to break through the epic level, it will take at least 20 years if there are few mistakes, and 50 years if it is slow. Some mages with stupid brains and poor talents may not be able to break through to the epic level in their entire lives. Even genius mages need at least 10 years. This construction process is quite cumbersome.

But 10 or 20 years is really nothing for human mages with long lifespans. After the weak magic blood in the human body is revived, even an ordinary human farmer can easily live to 100 years old. Deep blue formal mages can live for at least 250 years, and the maximum lifespan is about 300 years. As for reaching the epic level, they can have a lifespan of 500 years.

After having a long life, the pace of life of the human race has also slowed down a lot. Although compared with the human race in the Dark Age, the human race in the Magic Age lacks radical enterprising spirit, this slow and leisurely way of cultivation also allows people to calm down and continuously optimize the rough cultivation system summarized in the Dark Age, spreading countless subdivided fields, and greatly promoting the development of extraordinary roads such as knights, mages, and wizards.

Before Aiman ​​took over the Mage Tower, he had already been a deep blue mage under the tilt of the Mage Tower's resources, but until now, more than 30 years have passed, and he still has not broken through the epic.

Although the breakthrough time of 30 years is not the bottom among the general mage group, Aiman, as the acting master of the Mage Tower, is not to compare with these ordinary mages, but with those talented epic mages in the royal city. These epic mages generally become epic at the age of about 100, and Aiman ​​is now 121 years old, but he is still hovering below the epic.

Compared with these mages, Aiman ​​lacks not mage knowledge or wisdom, but talent.

His talent is low-level fire element talent, which can fill the second magic ring of the test magic crystal, but it is still far from the third epic magic ring.

You know, the mage talent affects not only the efficiency of the mage's magic power condensation or the construction of the spell model, but also the purity of the magic power that the mage can draw from the outside world.

The fire element magic that Aiman's low-level mage talent can condense is too messy, which will affect the stability of the magic model, and it is very disadvantageous when constructing the magic external brain. Even if there is no error in the model he constructed, it may fail due to the instability of magic. This is why he has spent thirty years and cannot break through the epic.

Aiman ​​sighed slightly in his heart. At his current construction speed, even if it is faster, it will take another twenty years.

Thinking of this, the old man looked at Chu Ming and his eyes became soft.

After the mage meeting tonight, he figured out that the way to solve the abolition of Tuari Mage Tower is not just to upgrade himself to epic. As long as Chu Ming can upgrade to epic, he can take over the Mage Tower from him and become the tower master.

As for why he didn't let Trina become the master of the Mage Tower, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but Trina had always disagreed. Even if he wanted to find a talented mage apprentice to train, he couldn't compete with other mage towers at all. If the students recruited had talents like his, they would be lucky.

And what always made Aiman ​​ashamed was that the operation of the Mage Tower was maintained by his student Trina. Knowing that it was impossible to find a highly talented student, he didn't have the face to recruit students to consume the resources of the Mage Tower. Therefore, the Tu'eli Mage Tower has only Chu Ming and Trina as formal students.

Five years ago, Ryan went to the Royal City to study. Despite being blocked everywhere, he still insisted on visiting all the Mage Towers in the Royal City. His tenacious character reminded Aiman ​​of the sadness of his pursuit of the epic journey with his low-level talent. Later, Ryan visited the Tu'eli Mage Tower. Aiman ​​struggled in his heart and finally accepted him into the Mage Tower.

As it turns out, there is a reason why other mage towers don't accept him. Ryan's talent as a mage is really poor. Even a second-level deep green spell needs five years of practice to be proficient, and his mental progress is stuck at the deep green level without any sign of moving.

However, Aiman ​​was relieved that he saw Ryan's desire and diligence for the extraordinary path. Even if he didn't take the mage path, Ryan could achieve another achievement.

So he shamelessly borrowed some money from Trina to get through an officer in a neighboring country, and obtained a basic crimson law code, which he gave to Ryan to study on his own, hoping that his student could achieve success in other fields.

After tonight, Aiman's thoughts changed again... It seemed that Chu Ming no longer needed to practice the law. As long as he worked hard on the mage path, his final achievements would be epic at least.

Thinking of this, Aiman ​​felt both lost and comforted. He was disappointed because he had given up his obsession with epics. Without this enterprising spirit, his future as a mage would become even more uncertain. But with such an outstanding student, he would be proud even if he told others about it.

In the hall, Aiman ​​drank a sip of hot water and looked at Chu Ming, "What are your plans for future training?"

Chu Ming touched his chin and smiled, "I think I will be a mage for the time being."

"Hmm..." Aiman ​​put down the cup, "You still can't let go of the way of the knight?"

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I won't delay my spell training."

Aiman ​​nodded slightly, "That's about right. You were born in a knight family. I won't stop you from pursuing the way of knights, but with your outstanding mage talent, you can achieve higher achievements by focusing more on the study of spells."

"Even those arrogant knight families will respect epic mages."

In the southern border, under the influence of the Rich Soil Empire, the status of knights is not weaker than that of mages, but the situation in the Violet Principality is somewhat special. The knights walking around are almost all magic knight attendants who are attached to mages, and there are very few knights who practice the epic knight heritage.

First, these knights really can't get in touch with the epic knight heritage, and second, they don't have this talent, so they can only settle for the second best, seek the protection of the mage tower, and find another way to seek a breakthrough in the knight realm from magic.

The Brick Knight Family where Chu Ming was born is not inferior to any mage tower forces in the Violet Principality's capital, so there is no need to be humble in front of mages.

What is scary about the Violet Principality is not its epic power, but the ten powerful legendary figures who are called the ten seats of the meeting on the giant tower of the floating island.

Among the ten seats, there are human beings, mixed races, and legendary wizards of different races such as fairies and dwarves.

Among them are many ancient figures who have been active on the continent for five or six hundred years. They abandon the concept of race, jointly maintain the dignity of the Wizard Conference, and create a wizard holy land that all wizards in the southern border yearn for.

If Chu Ming becomes an epic wizard, it can also be considered a good thing for the Brick Knight Family. It is not necessary to practice the way of knights. Therefore, although Aiman ​​did not explicitly ask Chu Ming to give up the way of knights, he has pointed out the pros and cons and let him make his own decision.

Chu Ming naturally understood Aiman's implication. If it were the original Ryan, he would definitely follow Aiman's opinion, but he is different. The previous three historical writings have allowed him to accumulate extremely rich knowledge, allowing him to quickly react and understand the mysteries when facing the new things in the magic era.

It can be said that as long as his talent is not limited, before reaching the legend, his extraordinary path, whether it is a mage, a knight, or other professions, will be unimpeded.

His current behavior is just like a thousand-year-old monster returning to the novice village to level up. Everything is too easy for him.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming smiled.

The reason why Ryan is called a mediocre person is that even if he practices the three extraordinary paths of knight, mage and law-abiding at the same time, none of the extraordinary paths is outstanding.

But now it is different. Whether it is a knight, a mage, or a law-abiding person... Chu Ming has the confidence to take them to a higher level.

Maybe in the future, when others mention Ryan, they will no longer be a mocking mediocre person, but a versatile person who praises without embellishment.

Tomorrow, normal updates will resume. Today, take a break and adjust your state back...
