Sword and Magic and Taxi

If we were in China, he would definitely keep us for dinner. Zhao Mai was holding a portion of fried chicken with mashed potatoes and applesauce and eating it while walking. Li Li kept nudging Zhao Mai with his head and making humming sounds. What, you want me to buy you a hot dog? But aren't you a dog yourself?

Woof, woof woof! Reserve Liang shouted twice, blocking Zhao Mai's way.

I know you are very smart. There must be a purpose in bringing me out by teleportation, but it is definitely not for hot dogs or sausages. If you have anything to say, I am all ears.

Reserve Li raised his nose and sniffed the mashed potatoes, stuck out his tongue, and looked directly at Zhao Mai. Then it snorted, its whole body trembled, its hair stood on end, and it continued to exude natural force.

Hey, this feeling is very familiar... No, isn't this my natural force characteristic? How did you imitate it? Zhao Mai squatted down, stroked the fur of the reserve grain with his hand, and felt the force that belonged to him from the palm of his hand. of natural force. Reserve Liang took advantage of the situation and put his head on Zhao Mai's shoulder. He liked to lie there when he was very young.

The first time-traveling passenger Zhao Mai met gave him his initial strength, allowing him to recover and learn faster, and deal better with the surrounding environment. This power started Zhao Mai's magical journey, and also made the food reserve his animal companion. At first, one person and one dog shared it. Before Zhao Mai became enlightened and before he had the power of nature, this characteristic had already connected the two people.

Reserve food has its own natural force. Each creature has its own unique natural force characteristics, and there are differences even between twins. It is an innate identification system that magic uses to identify targets. When the food reserves are transferred, they rely entirely on the energy stored in their bodies, which gives their transfer capabilities a similar identity to Zhao Mai.

Zhao Mai slowly understood the meaning of storing grain. When a wizard waves his wand, he always mobilizes energy from the outside world. Zhao Mai is temporarily unable to integrate this energy into his natural force and psychic power system, so there will be confrontation and consumption. Wizards will encounter this kind of confrontation when casting Apparition, so they need purpose, determination and calmness to successfully cast the spell. Zhao Mai's own strength is too strong, and relying on these three alone is not enough to ensure success.

In other words, when I cannot fully embrace the magic system, it is best to provide the elemental power required by the magic from myself? How can this be done? Zhao Mai looked at the food reserves and the dog licked him on the back of his hand, and then exploded the hair again, releasing the natural force.

What does this mean? What I want is elemental power rather than natural force... Zhao Mai handed the food in his hand to the food reserve, sat down on the ground and began to think. The street lights slowly lit up, casting a dim light, and the faint moonlight enveloped him.

After finishing the food in the carton, he placed the square box in front of Zhao Mai with his nose, then picked up a small stone and pressed it in the middle to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Then he lay down obediently, with his chin on the ground and raised his eyes to look at the pedestrians passing by.

What a cute dog, didn't your master give you food? A kind person stopped and put some of the bread in his hand into a carton. I ate the reserved food in two mouthfuls and thanked the kindhearted people with a smile.

It's a pity that your master is stupid and didn't react at all. One after another, people threw down some things, most of them were food, and a small part were coins. Zhao Mai didn't notice this at all, and of course he was not completely defenseless. The barrier of psychic powers was always open.

His intelligence is somewhat lacking. On some simple issues, he can be distracted and do two or even three things, but as the spell he comes into contact with becomes more and more profound, he often falls into this kind of comprehensive contemplation. Elements and natural force are two interconnected systems. In most cases, they are mutually exclusive. For example, magic spells cannot be used in places where the natural force is particularly strong.

The Witch King of Athas can use the natural force to cast spells, mainly with the help of powerful psychic powers and a rare natural force environment, but after all, it has achieved the balance between the natural force and arcane magic. Transformation. Magic spells and arcane spells both use elemental power, so there should be something we can learn from. After all, elemental power also comes from the surrounding environment, and the environment is part of nature.

Zhao Mai moved. He waved his hands and muttered words, releasing the natural force and using magic spells bit by bit, trying to find a state of natural force that allowed the magic spell to be used directly. Pedestrians passing by didn't understand the curse language he spoke, so they just thought he was mentally broken or sick, so they gave him more alms and slowly covered the bottom of the carton. Reserve Liang felt Zhao Mai start to release energy, so he lay down in front of him to separate him from pedestrians.

Zhao Mai controlled his own power selflessly, and gradually discovered that the four elements required for the magic spell have their own special patterns, and they can all be found in the natural force. Constant spells require different elements. When an element is extracted, it will cause a change in the balance of the elements, and the imbalance will produce resistance. This is more and more obvious in the characteristic natural force environment, which will promote the magic. A mantra calls elements from a featureless, less resistant external environment. Therefore, if Zhao Mai wants his spell to have its own Force characteristics, he must minimize this resistance and provide just enough natural Force power.

With repeated attempts, Zhao Mai gradually found the trick. Although Soram is not a druid, he is right in saying one thing: we must rely on the system to solve problems, and we cannot rely on one method to conquer the world. With the assistance of psychic powers, Zhao Mai became more sophisticated in controlling the released natural force, and was gradually able to ensure that he was wrapped around himself when casting spells, so that the spell would only come into contact with the environment with its own characteristics.

Reserve Liang sniffed the surrounding air with his nose, hugged Zhao Mai's legs with his paws, and then held the carton in his mouth. Zhao Mai took out his magic wand and tapped on his head: Disapparate!

The power needed for the curse finally came to fruition as it all came from Zhao Mai's natural force, and was no longer restricted by Zhao Mai's own protective capabilities. The space was distorted, and Zhao Mai and the grain reserves disappeared from the streets of Oxford, leaving only a few coins that rolled to the ground due to the vibration.

Light and shadow flowed in front of their eyes, and the two of them returned to Hogsmeade Village in an instant. Zhao Mai looked at the surrounding buildings and was excited, waving his fists in celebration. Yeah, I made it!

He was about to pick up the stored grain to celebrate, but found that it was walking home with something in its mouth. Seeing the paper box and the coins inside, wouldn't Zhao Mai know what happened? He kicked the butt of the food reserve as a punishment: Don't make fun of me all day long, it's not funny at all! Want money? From now on, you will get salary and pocket money like Dojian and Barbara. how?

Woof woof, Reserve Grain is obviously unwilling. It only likes this unexpected harvest.
