Chapter 6 Third Hand and Fifth Limb

Watching Ike tossing aside, Winters indifferent expression .

With the Army's appetite for sorcerers, it is unlikely that potential cadets will be missed.

But it's very unethical to deny someone else's dreams, even with the truth.

Ike worked hard to "use magic", his face gradually got closer and closer to the stone bench, his expression gradually became hideous, and his eyes were almost sticking to the water droplets.

Considering today's temperature, the water on the slate will vaporize sooner or later, whether Ike has the ability to spell or not.

“Anything special?” Winters asked.

"Yes, my eyes are very dry."

"I just like your sense of humor."

"Water cannot be used to test potential candidates, otherwise they will be screened The sorcerer also doesn’t need specialized equipment.” Winters explains why the water test doesn’t work: “General Antoine Laurent once said that it takes more magic to vaporize a drop of water than it takes to accelerate an arrow like a 100-pound bow. More."

"But the general just mentioned it casually and didn't explain it in detail," Winters added. "But I can also feel that water is the most difficult liquid to vaporize in my training, and you now understand why. Is the accelerated spell recognized as the most lethal?"

"I don't see the use of vaporizing water, but accelerating an arrow can kill a person?" Axel answered tentatively.

"Yes, the difficulty of casting spells is not related to the spell's formidable power." Winters thought of the embarrassing status of the Fire Element spell, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Magic doesn't exist for killing, humans are just picking out The most suitable magic for killing."

"What's there to say? After practicing sword techniques for ten years, wouldn't it be more aggrieved to be shot to death on the battlefield?" Ike accepted it easily. By analogy: "The Lord didn't create steel and gunpowder for killing, right? Wasn't it used to kill?"

"en. ”

The water droplets on the stone bench are completely Disappeared, and Ike didn't have any sense of using magic, he was a little frustrated: "I really don't have the spell innate talent."

"Not necessarily, anyway, I can't measure it with water."

Winters comforted Ike: "If you want to test, I'll take you to Teacher Christian tomorrow, he should have a way."

"Which Teacher Christian?
[Christian] means Believers, there are too many people with this name in the Luyuan.

“The director of the sorcerer teaching and research section should be the most powerful sorcerer in the Luyuan. Don't worry, he is very kind, and it will be no problem to ask him for help. "

"Forget it, just try it, I don't think I'm really a sorcerer." "Winters volunteered to help Ike find someone to test, but Ike became timid.

It's the same thing for the two to take a few drops of water to test. Instruments are another matter.

"You still tell me what it's like to use magic. "Ike was curious.

"I can't describe it in words. No matter how Winters organizes the language, it can't describe it properly: "I'll give you an example, can you describe color to a person who is born blind?" "

This question also stopped Ike. He was stunned for a while, and came up with various descriptions, and finally admitted: "No, I never know what a person of color is. How to understand color? "

"It's the same feeling of using magic. How do you describe the feeling of using magic to someone who has never experienced magic before?" " Winters speak frankly , and he hastily added: "I'm just making an analogy, not saying you're disabled. "

"Of course I understand what you mean." "Ike said with a mild smile: "It depends on the standard of normal people. If the sorcerer is normal, then we are all disabled. "

"You are a normal person, but a sorcerer is an alternative." Winters hurriedly stopped the topic: "I'll try my best to describe the feeling of using magic, but it's not very accurate, and it's just my feelings. "

"Okay. ”

“Sometimes there is a very strong squeezing feeling, like the whole space is pressing towards me; sometimes there is a very strong stinging feeling, like being stabbed by a knife; sometimes it is very cold, Sometimes very hot. "Winters frowned thinks back on what it felt like to use magic.

He continued: "The point is that these feelings aren't coming from anywhere in my body, it's like someone's getting beat but I'm in pain, you know phantom pain Is it?"

"A soldier after an amputation feels that his amputated limb is still there, and will he still feel pain? "

"Yeah, like phantom pain." Winters nods. "But for me, it's not the part of the body that's been cut that creates the phantom pain, it's the part of the body that feels like it's never been owned.

The part of the body that produces the pain has no flesh, but it feels solid. It's not accurate to say it's a body, but I don't know how to describe it exactly. As I just said, color cannot be depicted to the blind. "

"I kind of understand what you're saying." "

"So the alliance sorcerers call magic innate talent the invisible 'third hand' and the 'fifth limb' beyond the four limbs. The two numbers three and five have very important symbolic meanings for the alliance sorcerer, so the alliance sorcerer association is also called the three-five association. “

Winters drew a symbol on the stone bench with his hand dipped in water. He first drew a regular pentagon, and then connected one vertex of the pentagon to the other two. The line divides the pentagon into three triangles.

“This is the symbol of the union sorcerer, you can see its shape, a regular pentagon is divided into three triangles, which can represent the first The three hands, fifth limb, and three triangles can also represent the three Great Demon types. " Winters explained to Ike the meaning of the symbol as he drew.

"So this is the sorcerer's logo? I said why you wear this badge every day, I always thought it was the logo of the Hailan Association! "

"Don't you know it's the sign of the sorcerer?" "

"You didn't say that." "

"You didn't ask. "

This chicken/egg cycle continues with no end.

Winters quickly remembers something again: "Didn't we take a counter-magic tactical class?"

"It was just listening to the descriptions of the anti-magician class instructors that I felt that the sorcerer could kill me with a finger. "Ike said with a smile, "The magic he talks about in class isn't the same as what you told me. "

"I think the anti-magic class should be talking about Richard IV's royal thugs during the Sovereign War - the court mages. " Winters understood what was going on: "The court mages were few in number and extremely mysterious. Their training content and spell implementation methods are unknown to outsiders. "

Winters recalled what he had learned about court mages in his literature class: "The Fremen scholar records that the emperor of the ancient Silk Kingdom had a meteor shower that destroyed hundreds of thousands of rebels. . A sorcerer like me who can only light a candle has no idea how to achieve such a super spell. "

"summon meteor shower? If the court mage is so powerful, can the lunatic Richard still be unable to beat Jade City? "

"So I think this part of the ancient book is mostly bragging. Anyway, it's all bragging, and it must be bragging. "Winters laughed.

"The History of the Martial Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty": At night, a meteor fell into the camp, and during the day there were clouds like a broken mountain. Tired of volts.

"Jin Shu·Xuandi Ji": I will fight with Liang at Jishi, Linyuan, and I will not be able to enter. They must be defeated. After dispatching an extraordinary army, they cut more than 500 ranks, gained more than 1,000 births, and dropped more than 600 people.

"Book of Jin·Xuandi Ji": There are long stars, white in color, There is a mane, which flows from the southwest to the northeast of Ping City, and falls into the Liangshui River. The city is shocked. Wen Yi is so frightened that he makes his minister Wang Jian and the censor Liu Fu beg to surrender. Please release the siege and be bound.
