Chapter 12 More money is needed
“Not bad, not bad, I didn’t expect you to be a genius!”
Psyche pinched Frederick’s cheek with a look of satisfaction on his face.
An ice mirror was set up in the stone pavilion. Frederick looked at ten ping pong ball-sized elemental balls of different colors above his head spinning around his head. Nine of them were: There is one that I have seen for the first time.
"Driving magic elements with mental power is like tightening a screw." Psyche said from the side, "Different magic elements are like different screw caps, one with a letter, one with a cross, and one with a hexagon. Yes. Mental power is like a screwdriver. Although it can work wonders, it takes the least effort to tighten the screws that fit. ”
"Some people can only use one kind of magic, some are multi-talented, and some can be proficient in the number system. The reason is whether their mental power and magic elements are naturally matched, and whether they use technology to drive other skills through acquired practice. Magical elements."
Frederick immediately said in Mandarin: "The number '10' in this world is not written horizontally and vertically."
However, Psyche's reaction was the same as before, turning a deaf ear. .
Frederick had no choice. From time to time, this mysterious figure hinted that she knew things about another world, but he never took his doubts seriously.
This made Mr. Fei very depressed. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether the other person was also a time traveler or could use magic like mind reading.
Psyche continued to smile and said: "I didn't expect that you can not only match the nine commonly used magic elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, electricity, light, and darkness, but also be able to control the rare annihilation. This talent In the novel, only the protagonist gets this treatment."
Frederick asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, is this kind of 'annihilation' also a kind of magical element? I haven't heard of it before."< br>
Psyche folded her hands in front of her chest and said proudly: "There are many things you haven't heard of. Have you heard of the space element? You can use it to achieve anti-gravity, teleportation and open space doors."
Frederick's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. Wouldn't it be great to have such magic?
“Don’t think about it.” Psyche poured cold water on him, “Why don’t you think about why you haven’t heard of these magical elements before?”
Frederick was stunned for a moment. Indeed, even if the magic is rare, there will still be a few words left. Maybe it will be specially recorded because of its rarity, so it should also be mentioned when reading books and chatting with Ogilvy and others. But why was there no news before?
He was lost in thought, and then the magic element balls on his head exploded because they lost control.
Frederick was so dizzy from the explosion that he reached out and touched his head. He had become bald but not stronger. He cried with a cry of "Wow".
Psyche suppressed her laughter and stretched out her glowing hands to rub his head. After a while, the hair follicles were stimulated and the hair grew again.
“I told you everything.” Psyche said with a smile, “Now you have to practice keeping the ten elemental balls rotating around your head without being distracted for a moment.”

"Controlling magic elements makes you perfect with practice. It requires long-term practice. Only when you are so proficient that it is almost instinctive, you will be able to cast spells faster than others in the future, and you can also do two things at once. I generally don't tell others about this method."
"You will definitely want to learn compound magic in the future, which requires precise control of two or more magic elements at the same time. If there is any mistake, I will immediately blow it up for you."
After saying that, she took it from the sleeve of her long skirt. He took out a ring and handed it to Frederick. The gemstone on the ring was gray and there were stars inside.
Frederick's face suddenly turned red, and he said coyly: "Well... I'm only eight years old this year... it's too early... um..."
Words Having said that, he stretched out his right hand and raised his ring finger.
"You want to drive a big car, right?" Psyche kneaded this guy's face like dough for twenty minutes.
After being rubbed, Frederick burst into tears. He wiped his tears, took the ring and studied the magic crystal on it.
There are two kinds of magical elemental energy obtained from nature in the world, one is the magic crystal dug out like a mineral, and the other is the magic core grown on the skull of a monster.
According to existing theories, magic crystals and magic cores are magic crystals formed after rich magic elements have been enriched for a long time and changed the properties of the surrounding materials. After forming a crystal core, they will continue to absorb the surrounding magic elements. Gradually grow up.
The place where the magic crystal mine is located has a very high content of magic elements. For example, areas with volcanic activity are rich in fire magic crystals, and there are wind magic crystals on the tops of mountains. Fishermen can fish out water from the bottom of the water from time to time. Magic crystal and so on.
Warcraft will instinctively gather magic elements into their bodies, with the most being the heads. Therefore, magic cores formed by the crystallization of bones will appear on their skulls.
These magic cores are all formed later. For the same kind of magic beast, the position of the magic core on the skull will be slightly different. The color of the magic crystal is determined by the type and concentration of the magic element. The higher the concentration, the darker the color. The best magic crystal is almost opaque.
However, gray magic crystals and starry magic crystals are unheard of, and their elemental concentrations are frighteningly high.
"Put it on." Psyche sat on the stone bench and held a tea cup and said, "If you are able, wear it on your ring finger."
"This is a magic crystal that annihilates elements. Let's start by controlling the magic elements."
She took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "I'll leave you with a long-term assignment. Why are there so many people in the world? There are so many magical elements and the reasons for this phenomenon. If you can explain this problem, I will answer the questions you are interested in."
"I do not accept the hypothesis. I need experimental data to prove yours. Theory."
"Work hard. Many people, including Richard Nall, are studying this problem. I promised them that if they can answer it, they can become my true disciples."
Frederick put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, held up his teacup, drank tea and thought.
After a moment, he looked at Psyche, frowned and asked: "So, the entry requirement for your true ability is to master the essence of magic elements?"
"Smart little guy." Psyche He smiled and replied, "Wrong."
Frederick was stunned for a moment, and then heard Psyche say: "Among the many magics, there is a kind of magic that does not require magic elements."
"Soul magic!" Frederick shouted in surprise, "Magic driven by pure spiritual power! Are you good at this?!"
Psyche nodded and continued to drink tea.
Soul magic is no stranger to the world. The magic used by beast tamers to control beasts is a branch of soul magic.
Monoflo at Weisenberg University is an animal trainer. He now keeps a lynx as a draft animal, but it is as fat as an orange cat and has become a campus pet.
There are several types of soul magic: attack, control, auxiliary and illusion. Because the pre-casting motion does not have a marquee effect like other elemental magics, it is hard to guard against.
Frederick's face was horribly dark, and he asked her angrily: "Have you read my memory?"
Psyche gave him a roll of her eyes and said disdainfully: " Are you a mermaid or a mermaid? Is it worth watching? ”
Frederick was speechless for a moment.
The next moment, this guy put on a doggy smile and said in a flattering and disgusting voice: "Teacher Psyche, please teach me soul magic."
Soul magic is fighting It can be said that he is the first choice for Yin people. He will definitely face various battles in the future, so there is no harm in learning a few.
"Yes." Psyche agreed immediately, "But I'm here to teach you the basics of magic. If you want to learn additional soul magic, you have to pay more!"
Frederick His face instantly collapsed, and he had no money.
"Can I get credit?" He asked with a pitiful look, "I'm going to start papermaking and printing, and I'll use the profits from these two businesses as collateral."
Psyche lowered her head Drink tea and ignore him.
Frederick had no choice but to ask: "Then... meat payment?"
"Okay!" Psyche nodded and agreed, "I have to eat buckles every day Meat! ”
