The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 58: Learning Magic through a Forceful Method

Liszt did not interfere in the selection. Although he wanted the new recruits to have discipline drilled into them, but with magic and qi endlessly magnifying one's strength, discipline could no longer complement for a lack of strength.

An elite Earth Knight like Marcus was more than enough to beat one hundred ordinary knights.

Even a rookie Earth Knight like Liszt could beat twenty to thirty ordinary retainer knights. So long as he had enough qi, ordinary retainer knights could not even come near him and could only wait for him to exhaust his qi first.

As someone who was taught in a knight college, Marcus had his own method of training novice knights.

It was too hot outside, so Liszt just stayed in the castle and trained Tremblingwoods.

Tremblingwoods, sit!

Tremblingwoods was already as big as a wolfdog. Hearing the order, it immediately sat on the ground. It looked at Liszt with its tongue stuck out. Liszt threw it a small piece of dried meat and rubbed its head.

When releasing the Magic Eyes.

He could see that magic power inside Tremblingwoods' body was already abundant.

Theoretically, Tremblingwoods is not low on magic power. It is being fed well in the castle and growing quickly. It should already be capable of releasing magic. But unfortunately, there is no Violent Dog adult to guide it. It probably doesn't know how to control the magic power inside its body. Should I be the one to guide it?

By observing magic power with the Magic Eyes, he was confident that he could guide Tremblingwoods to drain its magic power.

Just that it could be dangerous and Tremblingwoods could accidentally die if not careful.

After hesitating for only a moment, he quickly came to a decision: If I don't guide it, then once it acc.u.mulates too much magic power, it will die just the same from not being capable of draining its magic power. Instead, it is better to let it learn magic a bit earlier. Like this, even if it died, then at least less food would be squandered Most crucially, I am not too attached to it.

Before transmigrating, the dog Liszt raised had died of old age and sickness. Consequently, he had grieved for a long time.

Now, it was not easy for him to grow attached to a pet.

Half of the pain people suffered originated from their emotional investments. People whose spirits and thoughts had matured knew to stop in time.

Come here, Tremblingwoods.

After being beckoned, Tremblingwoods immediately shook its tail and moved closer.

Uh uh, woof woof!

Truth be told, Violent Dogs were just oversized dogs, with their behavior and nature being close to those of dogs. Perhaps they were called Violent Dogs because they were more violent than dogs.

Next, I will teach you magic! Liszt pacified the Violent Dog, letting it calm down. He released the Magic Eyes and observed the magic power circulating inside its body.

Magic and qi were forms of magic power.

The difference lied in that magic was magic power wizards refined from the outside world, while qi was magic power knights refined from within them. Therefore, wizards could wield magic of a variety of attributes. They could use a Fireball in one moment and then use a Water Arrow in the next one. Knights, on the other hand, could only wield qi of the attribute of their bodies.

As for magic power of magic beasts.

Half of it was refined from within them and the other half of it was absorb from the outside world. Their speed of recovery was by far faster than that of human wizards and knights.

As for the release of magic power, wizards only had to guide the elements in the air to form a variety of magic spells, while knights had to attach their qi to weapons to prevent it from vaporizing into the air.

Magic beasts definitely would not learn the wizards' complex methods of spell casting and abstruse magic teachings. Therefore, the way they release magic is more like an instinctive reaction If I guide it to drain its magic power, then it would involuntarily release Rock Thorns

It should be the same way that knights released their qi.

In general, knights released their qi through their hands. Liszt mused: Through which parts of its body should Tremblingwoods release its magic? From its claws perhaps?

Its claws should not be too appropriate, as it needed them to walk. There was never any mention of a knight releasing their qi through their legs.

Suddenly, he recalled when he had just arrived at the Flower Town, he had met a Windblade Wolf when patrolling the Thorns Ridge. The Windblade Wolf had released its magic, Windblades, from its mouth.

Judging from the structure of animals' bodies, the best place to release magic from was their mouths.

Therefore, I have to channel Tremblingwoods magic power into its mouth, and then force open its constrains. There should be no difficulty to it Although my predecessor was fairly clumsy, but according to his memories, he did not meet any difficulties the first time he released qi. As he thought this, he put his hand on Tremblingwoods and poured his qi into it, guiding its magic power.

Uh uh!

As if being burned, Tremblingwoods struggled madly. However, it was still only a few months old puppy. It was incapable of struggling free from the binds of an Earth Knight.

It could only suffer the baptism from Liszt's qi. His fire-attributed qi was scorching and explosive in nature. It was equivalent to putting Tremblingwoods into hundreds of degrees Celsius hot sauna.

The puppy's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

Its body temperature rose rapidly and it started emitting steam.

I forgot that my qi is of the fire attribute. It seems that it is not suitable for guidance But since I have already started, then it is sink or swim. He suddenly exerted his force and shouted, Tremblingwoods, release your magic power!

Burst!

Via the Magic Eyes, he saw the magic power inside Tremblingwoods gather in its mouth under the guidance and pressure of his qi. Following a bursting sound, alike a balloon filled with water being punctured, the magic power forced open a certain place inside Tremblingwoods mouth.

What followed was a miraculous scene.

On the lawn next to them, three bamboo-shoots-shaped giant rock thorns emerged with thuds. The rock thorns were as thick as an adult's thighs at the base, as sharp as needles at the top, and at least 1 meter in length.

Beautiful!

Liszt grinned: Well done, Tremblingwoods! You have learned magic! Looking at the rock thorns, he felt quite proud inside. This magic was quite powerful when used for ambushing. Imagine, Rock Thorns piercing an opponent's a.n.u.s the moment he shouted Tremblingwoods, release your magic'.

That scene was incredibly picturesque.

Suddenly, the voice of the gentleman's valet, Marcus, came from behind: Master, Tremblingwoods seems to be hurt.

Hmm? Liszt only now noticed that Tremblingwoods was lying limply on the ground and that there was a large amount of blood coming out of its mouth. Its mouth was a mess, looking as if it had suffered from an explosion.

Fortunately, Tremblingwoods seemed to only have received superficial wounds from its magic power being drained. Its limp state was more due to the excessive release of magic power.

Liszt felt relieved after figuring out Tremblingwood's condition.

He said to Thomas: This is the danger of magic Why do those mysterious wizards number so few? Is it because they are not impressive enough? No, it is because their magic experiments are always full of dangers, where explosions can occur at any time. They don't understand the meaning of science, yet furtively try to master its rules.

The previous paragraph sounded more like thinking aloud.

Thomas did not understood what he heard, so he asked in curiosity: Master, have you seen wizards?

I haven't.

You are so great. You have never seen a wizard, yet you still taught Tremblingwoods magic. Praise you, Master! Exclaimed Thomas in the tone of a mad believer.

Liszt smiled lightly.

This bit was not worth mentioning.

Liszt took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: Thomas, take care of Tremblingwoods. Tend to its wounds. Also, mash its food before feeding it.

Very well, Master!
