Chapter 643: The Road to Independence (Second Change)

"Well?" said Natasha Romanoff, "it's been a while since we've had this conversation. You've been reluctant to talk to the Avengers since Ultron, so they let me Come and ask."

"How about what?"

"You're asking knowingly, Salomon." Agent Romanov rolled his eyes. Here's a guy with a talent for playing dumb, especially when someone else wants to know something from him, and he's stingy with his knowledge like a miser. But even so, he is still an indispensable magic expert and occult consultant. "Of course it's Wanda Maximoff, isn't she your apprentice?" Natasha Romanoff said, "We all know the dangers of magic, and Pietro also cares about his sister. Except she has shown After all, Captain and Stark both want to know what Wanda Maximoff is capable of today, and you should know that this is very important to the Avengers. I know you don't want to reveal magical information to ordinary people, but you Just treat it like a tape recorder, and I guarantee that no one will know what they shouldn't know."

"She is learning about the astral world."

"Don't forget you're talking to a tape recorder, a tape recorder doesn't understand what magic is."

"She's still studying theory, not spellcasting. She already knows how to cast spells, and I have taught her many spellcasting skills when I educated her in the castle."

Natasha recalled Salomon's usual performance and came to an unacceptable conclusion: "In other words, Wanda didn't do her best to deal with the Avengers, did she?"

"Of course, magic has a price, and Wanda couldn't afford it at that time." Salomon said slowly, "The simplest magic can also work against the Avengers."

"Not necessarily." She blinked.

"I never underestimate you, ma'am. I'm just stating that the Avengers know nothing about magic and can't defend against it. Also, I know that Stark secretly makes countermeasures against magic, but that only prevents the worst. Simple magic missile."

"I will pass on your ridicule. Stark will definitely jump up when he hears it. You said that Wanda is studying theory. Is there still a standard course for magic learning?" Natasha was amused by her own joke, until She saw Salomon holding a teacup staring straight into her eyes, "Really?"

"Yes, Karma Taj has it. It takes about ten years to complete the course, so the apprentices who join Karma Taj train while learning. I am quite special. I finished the basic theoretical course before I was ten years old. , and began to formally learn magic. What Wanda lacks is a correct understanding of the magical world. She needs to read a lot of books and do a lot of experiments. You can think of her as a high school student on the eve of the SAT—a private high school. Don’t go there if it’s not necessary. bother her."

"Is the class difficult? I felt her irritability when I visited her. She and I are both women, and I can understand her emotions." Natasha pretended to be indifferent, "Can you tell me about her Do you want to learn some theoretical knowledge? Let me know if it is difficult for SAT courses or magic theory."

"You're making progress, Natasha."

"I can selectively press the pause button, and no one will hear what they shouldn't hear."

The experience of embarking on the witch's road is not good. The most intuitive experience is nausea and dizziness.

This road is also the road of truth and magic, leading to the realm of gods and gods based on ideas such as wishes, desires, and wills. The source of phases and magical entities produced by religion, belief, mythology, and even folklore and fairy tales are even more Approaching another form of magic. Contacting the basic knowledge taught to Salomon by Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and the earth gods except Asgard, all the gods of the earth except Asgard first have the concept represented before they have a form. He can assert that this is the god of the earth. It is the source intention of divine power.

Not really a source of power, but a manifestation, a concept.

But in the world of magic, in the astral world, in the etheric world, mere concepts can also transform the spiritual world that can be touched.

Therefore, Salomon and Wanda entered the witch's path with their bodies, just like when they entered the etheric plane.

If one walks the path of a female deity, the power of the witch will be amplified and the power of the male spellcaster will be weakened, and vice versa. Salomon uses this feature to ensure the safety of Wanda's exploration of outer dimensions, but due to the chaotic nature of the Witch's Way, using this method is not foolproof, and danger is everywhere.

The two shadow hounds at Wanda's feet are the outermost protection.

These two tar-like creatures are very quiet, and they are the most qualified scouts.

The negative effects of the Witch's Way have no effect on Salomon, and the reason is because his essence is far beyond human. The mystics of Karma Taj do not need to explore the outer dimensions and the origin of magic in this way. The power and complete inheritance of Visandi have given them more means. Even Salomon used to call on the outer dimensions when exploring the outer dimensions. Helped by Oshutu, the mother of white magic.

Just learning spells cannot be called a qualified spellcaster. Theoretical research and exploration of the spiritual world are the beginning. Only spellcasters like Salomon who have first contacted theories can understand the importance of this knowledge. Magic is nothing but the appearance of using power, and knowledge is the wisdom of seeing the essence through phenomena. Books need time to read, and now Wanda has the time and energy to do so. Only through assiduous study, experimentation and training like the mystics of Kama Taj, can she truly become a spiritual world that ordinary people cannot understand. A qualified, independent spellcaster.

The end of the Witch's Path is the magnificent Astral Realm, and Salomon is pushing her on this independent path, which is what a responsible mage should do to his apprentices. But that's only part of the study. After finishing the most difficult lesson, Wanda stretched and yawned—the exploration of the Witch's Path this time didn't have many twists and turns, and it could even be called calm. There are no invading extradimensional beings, no deranged wizards, and no weird creatures that grow on the Witch's Way. However, leaving the Witch's Way does not mean the end of today's class. She still needs to learn alchemy, protection spells, various magical languages, the magical properties of gems, and the psionic ability to tap soul power under the guidance of Salomon. , adjust breathing to relieve spellcasting fatigue - the course Salomon arranged for Wanda is another standard course in the Magic University of the crystal wall system, something that those wild mages who do not have a complete inheritance cannot learn.

Many experiments and studies that were not possible in the castle are now possible.

"As the spells you can cast become more and more dangerous, you need to practice under the protection of the [Mirror Dimension]. This spell you cannot cast, because it is the magic from the [Trinity]. Therefore I will teach you another spell , that is, the spell to enter the [Mirror World], including a series of supporting spells such as [Mirror Teleportation]." Salomon handed Wanda an old-looking book, "This is an excerpt from my copy of the magic book, it is I wrote it when I was twelve, and it's just right for you now."

"Is my spellcasting level only twelve years old?" Wanda blinked and asked in feigned surprise.

"I'm different, dear Wanda. Since I correctly recognized my gift, magic that is extremely difficult for other people is nothing to me. You are too, and I believe in your gift."

Ask for a ticket!
