Chapter 3 First Steps to Magic (Part 2)
"It's moving, it's moving, teacher, the boat moves."
Goris pulled Ah Dai in front of him, glared at him, and said, "Do you remember what I taught you yesterday?"
A Dai blinked and said awkwardly: "I, I forgot." For the past two days, Goris has been teaching A Dai some knowledge about alchemists. Unfortunately, A Dai's mind is really slow and he can't even remember the simplest terms.
"Hmph. I knew you forgot again. Forget it, I don't think you can remember anything? You sit cross-legged on the bed."
"Oh." Ah Dai responded and sat down as Goris told him. Goris stood beside him and said in a deep voice: "When you return to me, you can continue to learn. During this time on the boat, I will let you feel what magic is. The so-called magic is to use your own spiritual power to communicate with the various elements contained in the world, and use your spiritual power to urge them to do what they want to do. I don't expect you to understand now. Later, I will inject my own magic power into your physical strength. You close your eyes, feel what you see, and then tell me."
Ah Dai nodded, closed his eyes and said, "Yes, teacher."
Goris said: "I ask that within three months, you must learn the two simplest magics of Fireball and Fire Technique, otherwise I will not give you food. Okay, please concentrate your mind and use your heart to feel the power I transmitted." As he said that, he stretched out his right hand, pressed it on A Dai's shoulder and recited a few spells.
Ah Dai felt his shoulders heat up, and suddenly remembered the torture he suffered in the hotel that day, and his whole body was shocked.
"Scan the distractions." Goris said in a deep voice.
The heat flow was transmitted into the body through his shoulders. It seemed that there was no sign of increasing the heat, but it was circulating in his body. Ah Dai couldn't help but feel relieved. There were no distracting thoughts in his mind. In a while, he fell asleep in the heat flow emitted by Goris.
At first, Goris thought that Ah Dai was immersed in the ocean of magic elements, but after a long time, he had no movement. This method of transmitting magic power could only transmit the inherent magic power in his body into the other party's body, and could not summon the magic elements in the air. Therefore, even Goris felt a lot of his magic level. He slowly withdrew his right hand and said, "Tell me, what have you seen? Ah Dai, Ah Dai. Hey, okay, you guy, actually fell asleep, wasting so much energy, and you were so angry that you pissed me off."
A small water ball exploded on A Dai's face, and A Dai, who was so beautiful, suddenly shuddered and woke up, "Ah! It's snowing, it's snowing."
Goris angrily knocked on A Dai's head and said, "Don't you, what did I ask you to do just now? But what did you do?"
Only then did Ah Dai see his situation clearly, remembered some of the previous events, lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I felt so comfortable just now, so I fell asleep."
Goris barely suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Tell me, what did you see just now? Don't say you don't know anything. If you don't know, then today's meal will be gone."
When he heard the meal, Ah Dai suddenly became more energetic and scratched his head, thinking, I didn't see anything just now! How to answer. However, the temptation of food was too great. Ah Dai thought about it and decided to tell his dream just now to see if he could get away with it. Thinking of this, he looked at Goris with a serious expression and said, "I, I just felt hot all over my body, and then I was confused. Later, I saw many children coming to play with me. Each of them held a small red steamed bun in their hands, as if they wanted to give it to me. I could collect it and collect it, but I couldn't accept it. I also wanted to give it to them, but I had nothing on my body and could only give it up. Later, you woke me up."
Goris was secretly shocked when he heard it. How could he not understand that Ah Dai was talking about his dream? Although Ah Dai was asleep, what he described was actually related to the fire element. The children who played with him were completely his dream imagination, and those red balls were the fire element in the world! Why did the fire element float towards him? Unless he was born with a pure fire physique, he had already checked it, he was not! When he was learning fire magic, he could only feel the existence of fire element around him.
A Dai looked at Goris nervously. He didn't know if his lies that used dreams instead of feelings could make him eat.
Goris stretched out his right hand and said, "Follow me. The fire element that fills the world! Please give me your warm power, condense into a ball, and appear in my hand." With a puff, a fire ball with a diameter of more than ten centimeters appeared on Goris's hand, and the air around him suddenly became hot.
Although Ah Dai didn't understand what Goris meant, he still understood what terms it was. He imitated Goris and said, "Follow...ah, don't read this sentence. The fire element that fills the world! Please give me your warm power, condense into a ball, and appear in my hand." As soon as the spell was finished, Ah Dai suddenly felt something around him rushing towards his palm. With a puff, his hand lit up. A small fire ball with a diameter of only one centimeter appeared on the palm. Ah Dai was startled, for fear of being burned by the fire. At the moment his thoughts moved, the fire ball suddenly went out.
Goris looked at Ah Dai in a daze. After a while, he realized that murderous intent flashed through his eyes. He never expected that the silly boy in front of him had such a good magical talent. When he first chanted this fireball spell, his palms were just hot, but his master had already given a high evaluation. This boy who was not astonishing and a little stupid could actually release a tiny fireball, which was incredible.
Ah Dai didn't understand why a small fireball appeared on his hand. He looked at his palm in a daze, and the two of them were stunned in the room.
After a long time, Goris extinguished the fireball in his hand and said, "Okay, let's get here today. I want to take a break. You remember the spell just now. The fireball you released is floating on your hand and will not hurt yourself. When you are fine, you sit on the bed and silently think about the red balls. Do you know?"
Ah Dai nodded and tried hard to recall the so-called spell just now, and didn't bother to go to see the sea again. For him, a child who was only eleven years old, the curiosity brought by fireball techniques was much stronger than that of the sea.
Goris ignored him and lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. Fortunately, today was a rare good weather. The sea surface was calm and the hull did not have too much shock. The symptoms of seasickness were mild. He thought that if a magician saw Ah Dai's performance just now, he would definitely be happy to accept him as his apprentice. His talent is indeed good, and he is older. Should he consider letting him pass on what he learned? Goris shook his head vigorously. No, how could he break his plan because of his good talent? As long as he conducted the final experiment, the child would die. What's the use of learning more?
One day later.
Ah Dai sat upright on the bed, closing his eyes and having fun with the little red buns. Goris suddenly woke him up. "Teacher."
"Yeah, I'll try the spell I taught you yesterday."
"Oh, the fire element that fills the world! Please give it, please give it. Ouch." The only thing Ah Dai could remember was the first sentence.
Goris took back the hand that hit Ah Dai. The stupid boy's memory was really bad. "I'm telling you the last time. If you can't remember it, don't eat before getting off the boat. The fire element that fills the world! Please give me your warm power, condense it into a ball, and appear in my hand."
Eating was the best threat for A Dai. He tried hard to remember every word, "The warm power... condensed into a ball,... appears in my hand." He tried hard to remember the parts he was not familiar with later, sitting on the bed, constantly muttering, over and over again. Such a simple spell, ordinary people only need to recite for a short while to remember it completely, but A Dai memorized it for a long time before he could barely ensure that he would not forget it.
"Teacher, teacher, I, I remember." Ah Dai woke up Goris who had just fallen asleep without discrimination.
Today's storm is a little bigger than yesterday. Colisbon wants to use sleep to offset the nausea caused by dizziness. After finally falling asleep, he was awakened. He said angrily: "What are you doing?"
A Dai took a step back in fear and said stutteringly: "I, I remember that spell."
Goris snorted and said, "You are the stupidest person I have ever met. It takes a day and a half to remember a simple spell. What's there to show off? Read it and listen."
A Dai finally established a little confidence and was completely destroyed by Goris. He lowered his head, stretched out his right hand, and whispered: "The fire element that fills the world! Please give me your warm power, condense into a ball, and appear in my hand." The spell was completed, and he felt the unknown power condensed again, and it was stronger than the last time. With a puff, a small fire ball with a diameter of three centimeters suddenly appeared in his palm. With the experience of the last time, A Dai did not have it this time.
Panic, looking at the red flame carefully, the hands felt warm and not burning. A Dai held the fireball in front of him and looked carefully. Accidentally, the hair on his forehead was suddenly burned with a thigh. "Ah!" Amid the screams, A Dai's spirit suddenly lost, and the fireball in his hand was extinguished, and a bad smell filled the cabin. A Dai slapped his hair desperately, and the tiny flames were extinguished. Unfortunately, his half-length black hair was missing a piece.
Looking at Ah Dai's embarrassing look, Goris couldn't help but smile, "Water and fire are ruthless, and it doesn't mean it's okay to do anything else. That's a real fireball. You're called ignition*. Be careful in the future. Open the door and release the smell."
Ah Dai kept gasping for a while. Although the scene just now made him feel embarrassed, the appearance of the fireball also filled his young heart with joy. For the first time, a sense of respect arose for Goris, "Old, teacher, I'm sorry, I'm too stupid. I can't even use a little magic."
Goris thought to himself, "I'm not stupider than you." He hasn't seen anyone who can release the fireball to this level after practicing for only two days. "Okay, don't say it anymore, be careful in the future, don't forget the spell."
Ah Dai nodded and said firmly: "I, I will never forget it, teacher." Fireball Technique was the first magic that Ah Dai learned. He had already been full of love for the red fireball in his heart. He sat aside and continued to recite the familiar spells.
Two days later, the voyage entered the final stage. Goris has never dared to leave the room these days, for fear that he would vomit when he saw the endless sea. He asked Ah Dai to ask the waiter to send it to the room. Almost 90% of the food for each meal entered Ah Dai's stomach. Ah Dai is a very well-behaved child. In the past three days, he has not only insisted on reciting the spells of the fireball technique, but also meditated on the bed. The so-called diligence can make up for the shortcomings. In just three days, he has been able to master the fireball technique well and release fireballs with a diameter of about five centimeters. Goris occasionally advises him on some applications of fireballs, such as how to increase the temperature of the fireball, how to increase the size of the fireball, how to control the fireballs to fly in the air, etc. Unexpectedly, Ah Dai, who has always been stupid, learned these methods of application very easily, and quickly mastered it.
Ah Dai controlled the fireball to rotate around his body. He thought to himself that even if the teacher dies in the future, he will no longer have to be afraid of the cold. It feels great to have a fireball to keep warm. Fortunately, there is no such thing as mind reading in the magic that Goris knows, otherwise, the seven orifices of the qi must have bleeding.
"Teacher, I want to get some breath at the door." After a few days of getting along, Ah Dai was no longer so scared of Goris. After all, Goris had never beat him and even made him full of every meal.
Goris glanced at him and said, "Put your fireball away and just go at the door, don't go far."
A Dai said excitedly, "Yes, teacher." After that, he waved his hand, extinguished the fireball in the air, and opened the door happily and walked outside. Standing in the corridor outside the cabin, A Dai grabbed the railings, and the warm sunlight shone on his body indescribable comfort. He took a deep breath of the salty and fishy air, and looked at the intersection of the sea and sky in the distance, and couldn't help but be intoxicated.
"Huh? What is that?" A Dai, who was intoxicated, suddenly found a black dot on the sea surface moving straight towards their passenger ship from the diagonally forward. The speed seemed to be very fast, and the black dots gradually became larger.
After a while, the black dots gradually became clear. It was also a ship. The hull was black, and the size seemed to be similar to that of a passenger ship. There was only one layer on the deck. The huge black sail was painted with a huge white skull, and there were two crossed bones under the skull. A Dai thought to himself, why is the color of their ship different from his own?
As the black ship was approaching, the others on the passenger ship seemed to have noticed this situation, and screams kept coming: "Pirates, ah! It's a pirate."
