Chapter 4: Seal
The principle of spellcasting for demon hunters is completely different.
Starting from childhood, every demon hunter has to take the green herbal medicine dozens of times. Most children will die the first time they take it because their bodies cannot bear the pain of mutation. This is also the most difficult thing in the green grass trial. Even with the help of a warlock, the success rate is only about 30%.
As these children grow, the organs in their bodies will undergo extremely serious mutations under the influence of the medicine, becoming more adaptable to the magic of chaos.
These mutated organs not only allow demon hunters to have a metabolic rate dozens of times higher than that of ordinary people, but also make their body functions very powerful, with physical strength, resistance, recovery, explosive power and seal speed far exceeding those of ordinary people.
In addition, these mutant organs can also convert the physical strength and spirit of the witcher into chaotic magic, which is stored in their bodies and used to cast the witcher's sigil.
This is why the impact of magic-blocking gold on demon hunters is much smaller than that of spellcasters.
Of course, this physical mutation does not bring all benefits. The years of painful torture during the Green Grass Trial have caused certain distortions in the minds of most demon hunters, and various organs in the body The mutation also seriously affects the production of various pheromones in their bodies, destroys certain functions of their bodies, and even causes many demon hunters to directly become facial paralysis.
Although their lives can be extended to hundreds of years, after becoming demon hunters, their bodies have become hugely different from humans. Not only can they no longer have offspring, but it is questionable whether they are still human.
Standing in the center of the training ground, Wayne took a breath. As a half-elf, he had slight advantages in agility and mental strength. Coupled with the spiritual blessing of being a human being for two lifetimes, once he calmed down, he would be able to understand clearly. He could feel the flow of chaotic magic power stored in his body.
Following Vesemir's instructions, he stared at the wooden dummy in the training ground, concentrated, mobilized the chaotic magic power in his body, made an Igni sign gesture with his left hand, and gave the dummy a gentle push.
For a moment, he felt that the chaotic magic power in his body, under his control, blended and rolled according to certain rules, turning into a hot energy that quickly moved up his arm and rushed out of the palm of his left hand.
In less than a few seconds, a dazzling yellow flame shot out from his palm and exploded directly into the air.
Although the fireball was only the size of a watermelon and the distance it flew was less than half a meter, it was only the first attempt to successfully cast the Igni Seal. This magical talent made Vesemir who was watching on the side feel... Somewhat shocked.
Looking at the witcher apprentice who was beaming with joy because of the successful casting of the sigil, the old demon hunter smacked his mouth, coughed slightly, and said, "Okay,
kid, don't be proud."
"Your talent for sigils is indeed very good. , but I have seen several demon hunter apprentices as talented as you hundreds of years ago." "
Now, calm down and continue to cast other seals."
After hearing this, Wayne calmed down his joyful mood. , I have been in the world of demon hunters for so long, and despite going through a painful trial, I became a demon hunter.
But so far, apart from the fact that his physical abilities have become stronger, he has not really experienced the fantasy of swords and magic.
Now that he has cast the Igni Seal with his own hands, he can truly feel the magic of magic.
After having successful experience in casting Igni's Seal, Wayne successfully completed the next four seals the first time he cast them. This made Vesemir both excited and a little worried.
As the great mentor of the Wolf School of Demon Hunters, he certainly hopes that a powerful demon hunter will appear in the school.
But as an elder who has lived for hundreds of years and experienced countless joys and sorrows, the old demon hunter knows very well that people with outstanding talents often do not represent success, but more hardships and even death.
The life of a genius is always full of twists and turns, and there are often only a handful of geniuses who can live to the end and truly achieve great achievements.
But no matter what Vesemir thought, Wayne was quite happy after successfully casting five seals.
In addition to being happy for his talent, it was also because he heard the system prompts after only five spells.
French seal proficiency +1, current progress: 1. Seal LV1: Seal strength +5%.
He found that the proficiency of seals seemed to be easier to improve than swordsmanship, and unlike swordsmanship, which was affected by age and body shape, seals not only had offense, defense, control, and traps, but were also quite simple to use.
Thinking of this, Wayne secretly made a decision. He was going to focus his training on the seal first, and try to gain enough self-protection ability in the shortest possible time.
Anyway, the demon hunter's lifespan is long enough. As long as he can survive, his swordsmanship will definitely become stronger and stronger.
However, that is something to consider later.
After successfully casting five seals, Wayne showed a smile to the old demon hunter and said with a smile:
"Teacher, I have completed your task, you can give me a reward."
Looking at this picture, the demon hunter was paralyzed. With a smile that was rarely seen among them, Vesemir also temporarily put aside his worries, with a smile of approval on his face.
He took out a simple sheathed dagger from his waist, reached out and touched Wayne's short blond hair, then handed the dagger to his hand and said, "
Kid, this is a very useful meteorite iron." The dagger was a gift given to me by a master blacksmith. It can cut those hard monster bodies." "
I originally wanted to wait until your birthday to give it to you, but you performed very well today, so I will reward you in advance. ."
Wayne accepted the reward with excitement, and at the same time, the system task completion prompt sounded in his ears.
Ordinary level, [Training Mission] has been completed.
Reward: 3 experience points and an ordinary treasure chest.
Ordinary treasure chest: You can randomly obtain a certain amount of gold or ordinary-level random items.
Although the rewards for ordinary-level missions seemed a bit shabby, with only 3 experience points, Wayne didn't mind it.
Calculating that it only takes 100 experience points to reach the second level, if he accepts a training mission from Vesemir every day, it will only take about a month to raise the level by one level, which feels pretty good.
Thinking of this, Wayne restrained his divergent thoughts, put aside the meteorite dagger given to him by Vesemir, wiped his sweaty forehead from casting the seal five times in a row, and said to the old demon hunter :
"Teacher, wait for me to meditate for a few minutes, and then let's continue practicing." "
I'm not afraid of hardship, so please don't be polite and use the strictest standards to meet my requirements."
Seeing that Wayne was not proud of his talent . , but asked himself to teach him more strictly, Vesemir nodded happily.
The smile on his face flashed away, and he immediately said in a reprimanding voice:
"Successfully casting a seal is only the foundation of the basics of a demon hunter."
"You are still far behind in terms of spell casting speed, spell casting consumption, and spell casting timing. Far away."
"Next, I will teach you strictly."
