"Roy! Are you really not coming in?" Sasha stared at Roy with a strange expression in her big eyes. "I promised you I wouldn't knock you out again!"
"Forget it, it's almost the same anyway. It's just separated by a door, and it's convenient for both of us. You can stick the door in and don't worry about coming out and patching it up in the middle of the night!" Roy spread the blanket outside the guest room and didn't even enter the room.
"I really can't do it! I've gone against my master's words, you still don't believe me..." Sasha pouted slightly and kept muttering in Roy's ear.
"Got it! Just once today, let's talk about the town again in the future. Go to bed now. We'll be on our way early tomorrow morning, and I'll call you. Just go to bed!" said Roy, gently pressing Sasha's head outside the room.
"Okay, it's a deal! Call me up tomorrow!" Sasha gave Roy a sweet smile and gently closed the door.
Roy listened to the faint footsteps inside the room for a moment of helplessness, then pushed open the door and said, "Insert the door, little girl!"
"Oh!" Sasha agreed and ran back, "Good night, Roy!"
Roy reflexively leaned back and said, "Good night!"
Hearing the slight sound of the latch, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and was able to sleep soundly today.
In fact, Roy is not very sleepy. Since he soaked the essence of life of the vine in the old man, Roy has always been very energetic. He slept only one night yesterday, and the fatigue of these days has been swept away. He is still energetic now. Roy feels that he can sleep once every two days.
"Look, he was kicked out this time. I saw him with an eye injury this morning. That little daughter-in-law is really amazing!"
"A big man is so weak that he can't even control a woman. What a shame!"
Roy's face was lined with long black lines. The guest rooms of this inn were a two-story circular building, and he could see himself in most of the first floor corridors when he made a trip
Roy was too lazy to pay attention to the whispers coming from all around, turned over, and turned his face inside.
Lying for half a day, but not falling asleep, and counting thousands of sheep, it seemed that the more they counted, the more energetic they became. Roy sat up helplessly again.
A faint light flashed on the Space Ring, and the magic letter that the old man had given him appeared in his hand. Since bidding farewell to the old man, he has been camping in the wilderness, and almost all his mental energy has been used on the road. This book has not been opened once, and he can't sleep now. It's a good opportunity to take a look first.
Open the first page
Roy looked at it for a while and finally came to the conclusion that the old man's writing was profound enough! As a cultured person with a graduate degree, I couldn't understand a single word.
Roy, feeling a bit depressed, put away the old man's magic notebook and flipped through the thick book that Hill had given him on the basics of light magic.
What pleased Roy was that he understood this time. Hill's light magic explanation is based on light magic and explains some basic magic principles and characteristics. The book provides detailed explanations of the special feelings and even possible phenomena when perceiving certain elements, which is exactly what Roy, a novice in magic, needs to learn now.

After reading a few pages, Roy discovered a magical spell in the book, which was a restorative spell. He specifically noted that Roy should not remember this spell, just read it according to the book, mainly to feel the existence of elements and magic, and then learn to control everything on his own.
In terms of perception of elements, Roy asked himself that his current self could do it. Whenever Roy was calm and focused, he could clearly feel the various vibrant elements in his surrounding environment. These elements seemed to have life, and sometimes Roy even thought he could feel certain emotions in these elements, but they were elusive. It was even impossible to command these elements with his own willpower, as the old man said.
Roy softly recited the spell on the page, which was very short and finished in a few sentences.
This is the first time Roy has personally experienced the feeling of using a magic spell. In the moment the spell is completed, the elements in the surrounding air fluctuate slightly, and at the same time, something seems to be surging out of his body. This should be the so-called magic!
Roy saw a faint white light slowly flickering on his hand, and a small wound accidentally scraped during the day was rapidly healing. After a few breaths, the wound was no longer visible, and there were no scars left on his smooth skin.
Feeling the convergence and dissipation of light elements in the air, Roy understood what was said in the book once again.
Roy closed the book and was ready to use his own strength to try it out. To be honest, despite the few short words of those spells, they were particularly awkward. If you ask Roy to repeat them now, he really can't recite them again.
Roy closed his eyes and focused, fully sensing the light elements in the air, recalling the magical flow just now.
Halfway through, Roy opened his eyes. His hand, which had just flickered with white light, now had no trace of light!
After trying a few more times with no results, Roy couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If even such a small magic was difficult to achieve on his own, then his troubles would be huge in the future!
In a moment of anxiety, Roy suddenly slapped his forehead. Yes, how could he forget about this matter!
Roy quickly took out the scroll that had been stuck in his waist, unfolded it, and a blue and red light immediately enveloped Roy's entire body. This time, Roy did not roll up the scroll again, but closed his eyes again.
Roy now felt incredibly clear that the elements of fire and wind were tightly surrounding him. With a movement of his mind, Roy gently floated up.
Not bad, that's the feeling. Roy smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. He had been using these two magic spells on his body for almost half a month, and he was very familiar with their use. However, in the past, he had always used an instinct to drive the elemental power on his body to fly faster. He had never experienced this feeling of communication between his own deities and elements so carefully like now.
In an instant, Roy's mind became incredibly clear. The wind element seemed to brush every part of his body like a lover, while the fire element seemed to penetrate his body, and every cell had a warm feeling. On the unfolded scroll, there were bursts of vague mental waves, and the remaining mental waves from the old man's depiction of the scroll imprinted in Roy's mind. Although the last sealing magic of this scroll was completed by Roy two days ago, the remaining mental waves of the old man were already very weak. However, Roy still felt the subtle moment when the old man's spirit and elements blended together.
One law is universal, perhaps the same should be true!
Roy raised his hand again, his mind vigorously sensing the light elements around him.
One minute, two minutes... 10 minutes have passed.
When Roy was about to despair, a faint light shone on his middle finger, a light that could be ignored even if not observed carefully in the darkness.
Roy's heart was filled with ecstasy, come on! My elemental power, my path to becoming a god!
Roy's hand finally flickered white again, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
With a loud thud, Roy fell from mid air and fell heavily to the ground. A severe headache hit him, and Roy couldn't help but let out a miserable groan!
Excessive mental exhaustion!
I just saw this in Hill's foundation of magic. It's easy for beginners to suffer from this problem. Their already limited mental energy will quickly deplete under repeated practice of magic. If they don't stop in time, headaches and dizziness are normal phenomena.
Despite having a severe headache, Roy still had a happy smile on his lips. The first step towards becoming a god was finally to step out!
