Chapter 11 You are already at the title level
The steam train starts from the border and passes through three cities before reaching the royal capital.
Every time the steam train arrived in a new city, it would take a day to be inspected and maintained.
Therefore, every time he arrived in a city, Li Qi would find a place to rest.
Fortunately, Li Qi is a warrant officer, and a warrant officer who has returned from the front line, so it is not difficult to find a place to rest.
The only thing that is hard to accept is the food issue.
The food in this world is not particularly delicious, especially the food in the military and the army. The taste of the food is even more difficult to describe.
Every time he ate, Li Qi regretted why he didn't learn some cooking skills in his previous life.
If I could cook well, I wouldn't have to eat bread with other soldiers.
But apart from the food, the other treatment is pretty good.
The Principality of Uno is a country that attaches great importance to the military. Perhaps because the world situation has become increasingly worse recently and wars may break out at any time and anywhere, grassroots officers like Li Qi are even more valued.
Therefore, Li Qi was not treated unfairly in terms of accommodation.
A separate room, plus a separate toilet and bathroom, ensures Li Qi's living comfort.
After a brief rest in this city, Li Qi, whose injuries were almost healed, continued to refine his magic.
After the last battle with Crazy Axe, Li Qi felt that his magic power should have reached the title level.
But Li Qi was not sure whether he had reached the standard of the title level.
Because the knowledge taught by the military is just the basics, and among these basics, there is no mention of how to reach the tactical level or title level.
Li Qi knew the standards for the first three levels.
Level one corresponds to the former magic apprentices.
By mastering some simple techniques of using magic, you can perform some small tricks, such as cleaning, levitation, and communication.
Level 2 corresponds to the previous official magician.
Initially master the lethal magic, such as fireball, lightning, wind blade, ice blade, etc.
The third level corresponds to the great magician.
You can use spells with higher power, such as multiple fireballs, chain lightning, tornado, etc.
This is the comparison standard that Li Qi knows.
And if we follow this speculation, the tactical level should correspond to the magician of the past.
Able to use magic of higher power.
Title level... should be a former legendary wizard who can use legendary spells.
Well, it represents the magic 'Fire Meteor', which is a huge fireball that smashes across a large area on the battlefield.
Then the wizard who used this magic was shot dead.
So times have changed, Master Mages...
At least in this low-magic world, magic no longer has the powerful dominance it once did.
In the past, when guns did not appear, let alone a legendary wizard, even if there was a sorcerer, both sides would be wary.
But now, even if you have ten legendary wizards, you can’t withstand the torrent of metal shot from guns.
After all, these legendary wizards are mortals after all, and a bullet can easily break their magic shields.
In comparison, the knight's magic system is more suitable for the battlefield.
The way knights use magic is different from that of mages.
They mainly focus on strengthening themselves, starting from the apprentice level and tempering their bodies step by step.
Until the legendary knight...which is now the title level, their physical hardness and combat skills can almost withstand the previous firearms.
Of course, it is the old-fashioned flintlock rifle, not the improved bolt-action rifle of today.
However, the knight's magic usage skills learned by Li Qi's "trump cards" on the battlefield, including the opponent's Crazy Axe, should have been simplified.
Again, times have changed.
Even the legendary knight could not withstand the bullets from a revolver at close range.
Therefore, you only need to slightly increase your magic power and then match it with suitable firearms to become an elite soldier on the battlefield.
Talented people like Li Qi can even become the "trump card" that influences the situation on the battlefield.
The effort put in is not proportional to what is gained, so the magic training method is naturally simplified.
If we go by the previous legendary standards, Li Qi would obviously not be qualified. After all, he didn't think his body could withstand the bullets from the old-fashioned muskets.
"By the way, can't I just go ask Captain Wood?"
After studying in the room for a while, Li Qi finally remembered Wood who was also resting nearby.
Wood is a veteran title player and he definitely has a lot of experience.
In the past, Li Qi was restricted by his position, the rules on the battlefield and many other issues, so he couldn't ask him for advice, but now he doesn't need to worry so much.
The two of them were no longer soldiers on the front line, and their respective appointment letters had not yet come down, so they could barely be considered free men.
It wasn't considered breaking the rules for Li Qi to go to Wood for advice.
Just do it, Li Qi quickly left the room to find Wood.
Fortunately, Wood was in his room. He was surprised to know why Li Qi came to visit him:
"Have you reached the title level so quickly?"
"I was just lucky."
Li Qi said modestly.
Wood shook his head: "No, I was the one who taught you how to use magic when you joined the team. I know your level. When you joined the army a year ago, you were probably just an ordinary person.
"To be honest, I'm already surprised that you were able to reach the tactical level and even display title-level strength in just one year. I didn't expect that you're almost at the title level now..."
Wood expressed surprise.
Although magic has become outdated now, many magic refining techniques that were once treasured by magicians and knights can now be seen everywhere.
But this does not mean that refining magic power will become easy.
People with talent can improve quickly, but those without talent, even if they practice hard for their entire lives, will probably only be a second or third level magician.
Li Qi was able to reach the tactical level from the first level in just one year, and was about to be promoted to the title level. This was enough to prove that Li Qi had a very high talent in magic! Even higher than some geniuses in the royal capital!
Li Qi is a natural born magician! Wood sighed in his heart, and then said regretfully:
"It's a pity that you were born in this era. If you were born a hundred years earlier, you would definitely become a legend among magicians."
After sighing for a while, Wood began to formally answer Kevin's question.
He turned around, rummaged through his luggage, found something that looked like a kerosene lamp, and handed it to Li Qi.
"…This is?"
"Magic detection device."
As Wood spoke, he placed his hand on the kerosene lamp, and then Li Qi saw the kerosene lamp light up red.
Wood explained: "The light is red, which means your magic level is level one."
As he spoke, the red light above him turned orange.
“This represents the second level.”
Orange turned to yellow, and then to white.
"This is level three and tactical, and..."
As Wood spoke, the magic power was output at a high power, and the light of the kerosene lamp turned into a beautiful blue color.
“This is the title level.”
He handed the kerosene lamp to Li Qi.
The light on the kerosene lamp dimmed as it lost its magic power. Li Qi took it in his hand and tried to inject magic power into it.
The kerosene lamp began to burn again.
It was red at first, and Li Qi felt some resistance when inputting magic power.
Then comes orange, which has a little more resistance.
By the time it turned yellow and white, beads of sweat had already appeared on Li Qi's forehead. He felt that his magic input seemed to be completely blocked by something and he could not go any further.
Wood saw this and said:
"When you can turn the white light into blue, then you will..."
"It's done!"
"!?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Qi exclaim, and the light of the kerosene lamp changed from white to light blue under Wood's gaze.
Wood: “…”
He looked at Li Qi with a very complicated expression, and after a long time he said quietly:
“…You are already at the title level, Li Qi.”
There seemed to be a hint of bitterness in his words.
