Merlin was very surprised that Ethan made a decision so quickly, and also wondered why Ethan chose such a difficult path so easily.
"You said that as long as I can go down this road, I will have at least as much strength as you, right?"
Merlin nodded: " You're Not Wrong, as long as you can go on firmly without passing away due to an accident... Although this road is difficult to walk, there is no serious bottleneck."
Ethan also noticed this. One point, but the reason for his decision is not just that.
"Then, if I follow the path of a common mage, which step can I guarantee?"
"This..." Merlin understood Ethan's meaning at once, revealing He gave a clear smile: "youngster, you have a clear mind, which can make you walk faster on the path of the mage. I hope you can stay so clear forever."
Ethan will do The reason for this decision is simple: one is a road that can definitely reach the peak magician level of Merlin. Perhaps this road is full of thorns, but the end is faintly visible.
The other road is full of unknowns. It is not even clear where the destination is or what it looks like. There is no need for him to take all kinds of accidents and risks to choose such a road.
The path of an ordinary mage may enable him to form battle strength faster, but Ethan at first is not a pure mage, and his methods of dealing with emergencies are not limited to the magic system.
Self-protection, at worst, prepares some technological equipment for yourself, which is enough to help yourself through the difficult period of that road Early-Stage.
"As long as I can control the space-time energy, I have a greater chance of returning to the Marvel Universe...when the time comes, can you fool Tony Stark to help me get some equipment?"
But in his impression, Tony Stark is not a character willing to help others. If you want to benefit from him, you must pay enough chips.
No matter how bad, some firearms in the movie world can deal with many dangers.
So Ethan doesn't care how difficult this path Early-Stage is. The cultivation spirit strength is what he has been insisting on, but then he just keeps on sticking to that's all.
"In fact, you don't have to worry too much. Although it will be boring and monotonous at first, after you can nurture magic power from yourself, as your spiritual strength becomes stronger and stronger, There will be more and more magical energy. At this time, you are not unable to extract energy from the outside world to increase your magical power. Just be careful not to extract too much and contaminate your own magical power."
This is the same as the sea. If Ethan has enough magic power to absorb external energy and transform it into magic power, like pouring some ink into the sea, it will not have any effect on the sea.
If the other way round, there is only a small pot of water but half a bottle of ink is poured...
That's all very far away, and then Merlin explained in detail what he proposed This way of cultivation. Although it only introduces the major steps of this cultivation method, it still consumes a lot of time.
Simply speaking, this method is divided into several steps:
Continue to firmly strengthen the spiritual strength, and at the same time, have enough strength control of its own spiritual strength, this point Ethan Naturally, he has an advantage. He has more control over his own spiritual strength than many apprentices who just entered.
At this stage, it is impossible to extract magical energy from the outside world, not even a little bit, it will pollute your own spiritual strength.
At the same time, he has to keep learning all kinds of knowledge to broaden his knowledge. According to Merlin's theory, the magic bred by one's own spiritual strength is not included in all attributes. According to the mage's own understanding of various energies, there is a certain bias.
For example, if a mage has a very good understanding of Fire Element energy, even if he does not extract Fire Element energy from the outside world, then the magic power he has nurtured will also have a considerable affinity for Fire Element. Better master the magic of Fire Attribute. Many wizards use this method to increase their magical attributes-with their own magical power, they conversely "contaminate" the fixed magical power of the original attribute.
If Ethan wants to have a more comprehensive magical power, then he needs to continue to work hard to learn all kinds of magic knowledge-not only can't perform magic like a normal mage, but he has to keep learning all kinds of magic. This kind of magic-related knowledge, this feeling is really... Ethan can't find a suitable adjective. Just thinking about it, that feeling will definitely be particularly uncomfortable.
"So, can magic arrays or magic items be used?"
"Oh, there is no problem with this."
Ethan nodded, it seems that he needs to Resolutely walk on the Sect of the item Stream', coupled with the melee ability that has been practiced hard, Ethan is now not so much a mage as a four-dimension-he can do everything, but there is no mastery.
After this stage is passed, it will be better.
Spirit strength is strong enough plus enough magic knowledge reserves, coupled with the special Meditation Method door, will make a special change in spiritual strength.
This kind of change is like excavating a spring on a soil composed of spiritual strength, and then the magic power bred by spirit strength will slowly flow out like spring water.
At this stage, Ethan can already use his own magic power to perform magic, instead of relying entirely on foreign objects.
Of course, in the beginning, the spring was very small, and few springs could gush out. At this time, the magic power was still very fragile, and it was very easy to be polluted by external forces, so it still could not absorb external energy.
After that, the spring water turned into a small stream, the steam condensed into a small lake, turned into a big lake until it became the sea.
At this time, Ethan's magic power can already be described as profound. Not only can he cast spells by himself as a normal mage, but at the same time, he doesn't have to worry about the pollution of his magic power from external energy.
Rely on absorbing energy to increase the total amount of their magic power or simply restore their losses.
From Merlin's words, Ethan realized that to turn his magic power into a sea that can contain everything, in addition to relying on time accumulation, he also needs to have enough magic knowledge, and even It is necessary to learn and understand various energy properties, otherwise, it is unlikely to produce an attribute that can contain all things.
Unfortunately, Merlin did not give a clear answer.
"Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what it is. After all, no one has really tried this kind of cultivation."
Ethan was suddenly curious about how Merlin got started.
"Do you choose the kind of energy you are most familiar with like a common mage?"
"Oh! This..." Merlin suddenly showed a triumphant smile: "I am not a pure human being. I am born with huge magic power."
"You Rely on innate talent!"
He just remembered that Merlin in the legend has the blood of a fairy, and was born with magical innate talent. He is an ordinary person who can't even be an apprentice and these Bits do not have half-point comparability at all.
Ethan, who was shown inexplicably, was depressed. At this time, he once again thought that the profession of mage is a very innate talent. From this point of view, Merlin suggested this way for himself.
Maybe the only way to achieve achievement.
If he really follows the cultivation of most wizards, it is very likely that he will not be able to go anymore after reaching a certain level in the best case, perhaps after mastering the Water Attribute element, because The spirit strength is contaminated, and then stuck on a single attribute and cannot breakthrough. And because the innate talent is not good enough, it started too late, and the total amount of magic power is worse than that of the mages of the same grade.
Of course, Ethan, who has a space-time pointer, may find other means to break the bottleneck on the innate talent, but it is full of too much uncertainty to what extent.
He doesn't like this, so when there is such a chance that he can achieve quite a lot, he just grabs it and refuses to let it go.
Although this cultivation method only talks about the level of the ocean, Ethan has already opened his brain and roughly calculated the back of it.
The sea seems to be boundless deep and unmeasurable enough, but it is not the largest.
No matter how big the sea is, he is at most a planet. What if he can breed a galaxy containing countless planets? Let alone mass, the depth of magic alone has crushed many existences; mass is not without direction, such as stars that can serve as the core of several planets?
Furthermore, countless such star galaxies form a larger galaxy...Ethan even thought of using magic to create a universe that exists within the body.
"Uh...Is this thing supposed to be called a small universe?"
Ethan, who was accidentally transferred to Saint Seiya, put away his mind and now thinks so far Undoubtedly, what he has to do next is to learn this knowledge step by step and keep it all in his mind, and then he will continue to work hard for cultivation.
Because of the limited time, he can only stay in this World for ten days. After determining Ethan's learning direction, Merlin is the most important guide to how to control the energy of time and space. As for the spiritual strength cultivation method, Merlin, After preparing to organize all the information, let Ethan go back and practice slowly.
This means that Ethan is about to receive a lot of teaching materials.
"Speaking of books, I don't know if you can do it."
Ethan suddenly thought of the piles of books on his ship. When he arrived at Merlin, he was about to send himself a lot, and immediately felt a little broken.
It is foreseeable that, to learn more about magic knowledge and more energy attributes, he will have to read more books in the future. Is he going to have to prepare a boat to install the books?
So, creating a magic prop that can store learning materials has become the most important thing right now.
