149: Chapter 149 Different Paths of the Mage 149: Chapter 149 Different Paths of the Mage “I’m very satisfied with the quantity of painkillers this time, so what do you need?” Ocoro became serious, although he didn’t like trading such things, previously he and Zhao Guang had only exchanged gifts. But this time was different; the painkillers were incredibly valuable. With such a quantity, Ocoro would feel guilty not trading. Even though they were friends, sometimes it was necessary to keep clear accounts. “The same as before, I need some Mage’s items. I can feel that in just over a month, I should be able to advance to the level of an Official Mage, but I don’t understand the other stuff.” Zhao Guang got more than just books from Ocoro, including some medicine for mental stimulation. These were meant to assist with magic cultivation and had no side effects. Of course, these were also very expensive, and he wouldn’t have been able to obtain them if not for Zhao Guang’s generosity. However, even with these items, Zhao Guang felt that his pace in magic cultivation was nowhere near as fast as with Combat Energy. He knew that the pace of magic cultivation was naturally slow. “That quickly?” Zhao Guang felt it was slow, but it was different for Ocoro. Normally, a Mage would take at least a year or two to advance from an apprentice to an Official Mage. Even those with less talent might take twenty or thirty years to become a Junior Mage. “Your talent is really good, good in various ways.” Zhao Guang gestured with his hand: “Where, where.” Perhaps it seemed good, but Zhao Guang felt it was probably due to differences created by different worlds. Adding to this, his recent studies in spells likely played a role. “Alright, I wouldn’t have told you so soon, but let’s talk about it now. Do you know about the different categories of Mages?” “Fire Element, Wind Element kind of categories? Or Defense system, Elemental system type of categories?” “Not these superficial categories, I am talking about the fundamental categories of Mages.” Seeing that Zhao Guang didn’t know, Ocoro straightforwardly sat down and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you. Mages are divided into different categories based on the nature of their Magic Power, including Element, Arcane, spiritual power, spells, Death, etc.” “To become an Official Mage, you first have to convert your basic Magic Power into one of these types. Once chosen, there’s no turning back. You can only stick with that type of Magic Power afterward, and your path is set.” Zhao Guang grew serious, “Then can you explain more specifically?” Ocoro turned solemn: “Let’s start with the conventional ones, then. The conventional types are Elemental and Arcane. The so-called Elemental type involves absorbing elements and merging them with one’s own Magic Power, enabling the use of various Elemental Magics. Which specific ones depend on talent and ongoing training. Elemental Mages are major powerhouses on the battlefield.” Zhao Guang understood, being able to continuously throw Fireballs made them like artillery. “Arcane-type Magic Power involves studying the essence of Magic, absorbing the power hidden deep within the world’s structure. They are mainly scholarly researchers, with varying strength levels; some are terrifyingly powerful, but most aren’t very strong.” “As for the spiritual type, it involves isolating one’s Magic Power from the external world and purely enhancing one’s spiritual power. Generally, they can use some Illusion Techniques and such, nothing noteworthy.” “Wait, is the spiritual type that weak?” Zhao Guang hesitated. “Yes, because other types of Magic Power can absorb external forces to accelerate their own growth, only the spiritual type relies on itself. Although the Magic Power is the purest and recovers quickly, theoretically the strongest, its growth is too slow.” “In the early stages, they can only use some Illusion Techniques, which are quite unimpressive.” “Hold on, you said this type doesn’t need to absorb external forces, which means even if there are no Magic Elements in the surrounding, it won’t affect their cultivation and recovery, right?” Ocoro nodded: “That’s right, as long as the thought process is active, it works.” Ocoro couldn’t understand Zhao Guang’s thinking because this type of cultivation was basically undesirable. What’s the use of only being able to use Illusion Techniques? Moreover, if other people’s Magic Power is strong enough, your Illusion Techniques wouldn’t affect them at all. Zhao Guang smiled, which might be the most suitable for him since there are no Magic Elements on Earth. He couldn’t always wait to come back here to recover, and on Earth, Illusion Techniques were already very effective. Completely silent, even undetectable by cameras, truly a necessary spell for committing the perfect crime. “Continue, what about the others?” In truth, Zhao Guang just wanted to learn more, as he had basically made up his mind already. “Next are the spells type, the spells-type Magic Power is essentially a mutation. Some Mages studying Arcane might cause their Magic Power to mutate and reverse direction, turning into spells Magic Power.” “Spells Magic Power possesses extremely strong capabilities, but is highly unstable, so their mastery of spells is very limited, yet each one is incredibly powerful.” “Isn’t that good? Aren’t they needed on the battlefield?” Ocoro looked disdainful: “They are powerful, but they don’t think straight. Those who cultivate spells Magic Power gradually become paranoid and chaotic. They are the tumors of the Empire, usually exterminated on sight.” So, it was a bad example, Zhao Guang understood. “What about the last kind, the Death Attribute? Is it about controlling the Undead?” Zhao Guang asked directly. “Yes, you know then. The Death Attribute is about controlling the Undead, and they can also use some Undead Magic. Their abilities are versatile, and their spell effects are strong, but unfortunately, they desecrate the dead, and any major Temple will pursue them ruthlessly.” “Also, I heard that this type of Magic Power has a strong negative impact on the person themselves; if cultivated for too long, the individual becomes a neither human-nor-ghost-like entity. The key is that it seems all types of Magic Power can convert into Death Attribute Magic Power, which is very domineering.” So, that was it. Honestly, Zhao Guang wasn’t repulsed by the idea of the Undead; they seemed quite the useful labor force. They work tirelessly without need for wages, food, or sleep, working 24 hours a day. Even a Capitalist would be moved to tears seeing them, but unfortunately, he couldn’t choose that. If he did, his life in this world would never be peaceful; what a pity. “Apart from these conventional types, there are also some not so common ones.” “There are more? What are they?” Zhao Guang didn’t expect there to be other types. “Those types either have too many restrictions or high requirements, usually not chosen by ordinary people.” “Tell me about them, what if I find them appealing?” Zhao Guang showed great interest.
