For the first time, Russell understood what talent is.
Although the archmage who was suspected of being Johnston tried his best to hide his surprise, every time he corrected his wrong impression of a certain rune, there was a hint of meaning.
Russell's mistake is actually not that big.
Runes are actually very personal things. In the eyes of most mages, as long as they can smoothly form a rune chain in the spiritual sea, it is considered standard.
After all, only standard runes can resonate with other runes.
But the archmage in front of him didn't understand at all why Russell's runes were always a little skewed.
Yeah, it's not even a twist.
But it's a little bit slanted.
Russell didn't feel it at all, but the archmage frowned after just looking at it twice, then took out a rune table and a piece of transparent paper... and asked Russell to keep on it.
trace.
This rune will only appear one at a time. Only if the rune written by Russell on the paper meets the requirements without comparing it with the runes below will it disappear and be replaced by the next one.
Russell originally thought this was an easy thing, but reality told him that if it was crooked, it was crooked. Just because he couldn't see it didn't mean it wasn't crooked.
Although the education he had received before would not have such strict requirements on the fineness of the runes, Russell knew very well that he had never been in contact with a real archmage... When others have reached a certain height, he himself is obviously
Sometimes, a little respect for authority never goes amiss.
Knowledge is never-ending, and what you learn is your own. As for freedom and innovation... Do you want to build a magic tower without even laying the foundation?
When Russell struggled for another three days, he finally sorted out all the hundreds of basic runes.
Then he felt what it meant to be reborn.
It only took Archmage 'Johnston' to briefly explain the key points of the rune chain, and Russell quickly learned the detection magic.
Although the Archmage said that it was because he was familiar with the resistance-increasing spell that he learned it so quickly, Russell still understood how big the gap was.
Then he quickly thought of something and turned to the archmage who was lowering his head to ponder something and asked softly: "Sir, can I use this method of correcting runes for others to use?"
"Although it seems very simple, you need to learn at least most of the third-level spells to complete it." Hill struggled to control his hobby of blinking and said calmly.
"No, it's not that troublesome." Russell said a little grandly... How did this archmage learn things before?
He pursed his lips: "I wrote out the standard runes and then asked her to trace them slowly with gauze. The extent to which she can learn it depends on whether she pays enough attention to it."
"You don't need to ask me about this." Hill gently shook his head, "This is not an undisclosed secret. Many great mages teach their apprentices this way."
"The Tower of Black Mystery must be, ah, at least, common apprentices don't have it here." Russell said seriously, "Apprentices all write according to themselves in the magic book, and the magic books are all...handwritten.
"
Hill patted his shoulder: "It's not a secret here anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Russell suddenly reacted... Although this person refused to admit it, there was a 90% chance that he was Archmage Johnston!
Then how can you keep it a secret from family members?
He couldn't help laughing: "Then when I go out, I will teach Carpenter, ah...she is my sister, a very cute little girl."
Hill nodded casually: "You have to learn to detect poison first, and then you can rest temporarily.
Come back to me after you get some sleep."
Although after learning three more 0-level spells, Russell should hopefully become a high-level apprentice, the child's mental strength is almost reaching its peak.
Although he looks very energetic, in fact it is all supported by his excitement and willpower, otherwise his reaction would not be a little confusing, and his sincerity would be too much.
It seemed like he really thought Carpenter was a lovely sister... Such a normal brother suddenly made Hill feel a little confused.
This world is much crueler than Oasis.
Russell's situation is also more difficult.
Although Oasis' brother named Dieter is considered normal, he is obviously an exception. The kind of brotherhood that Ellie and Linde have is the normal one.
Hmm...could it be said that it is easier to cultivate true feelings by sharing adversity than by sharing wealth?
Hill was a little confused, but he was too lazy to think about it anymore... Although the time was not long, this teaching method actually made him a little tired.
After all, he really had to think a lot to explain this spell so that the child could understand it.
This is completely different from when he taught Bonn.
After all, the environment in Trasil is different from the outside world, and Bonn is just not sensitive enough to the elements, but the runes were actually learned from Hill behind him, so the foundation is very solid.
It only takes a little bit for him to understand, but he needs to spend a lot of time communicating with the elements.
But the child really needs to speak in very detailed and clear terms.
Hill is really a little tired.
Russell, who had no idea what the archmage next to him was thinking, felt very good. After learning the poison detection spell, he happily said goodbye to Hill... He really felt that he had made a qualitative leap.
------------------
Russell, who left the meditation room, glanced around, touched his belly directly, frowned, and drew his fingers in the air... Although he could feel that the passage of time was wrong from the state of hunger, it only passed by
The reality of the two days still made him a little surprised.
The door next to him opened immediately, and Carpenter stuck out his head with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Russell, why did you come out!
Aren't you even hungry?
You haven’t even slept, have you?”
Although she was complaining, her big eyes were full of concern: Even though they had long been accustomed to not eating during meditation, it was difficult for apprentices to absorb the magic elements of the air after two days of meditation.
Adequate nutrition.
"I came up with a good idea and learned two new spells." Russell smiled at her, "Let's go eat first, and then you come to my meditation room and I will teach you and then go to sleep."
"I'll pick up your meals for the past two days." Carpenter said slowly, "Thank you for the hospitality."
Russell smiled at her: Although it sounded like Carpenter ate it himself, she must have only given out a small portion of the food that only apprentices could eat, and the rest was packed and sent to his home.
.
He has several younger brothers and sisters in his family!
Not everyone can eat their food, even children with mage qualifications.
Before learning the first level 0 spell, apart from the nutritional potions provided by the family he was born in, the family only provided special meals three times a month.
Only apprentices can have it every day, and they will also be provided with special food purchased from the magic tower according to their qualifications.
When he returned to the meditation room again, Russell leaned on the table and began to describe the runes.
Carpenter was just about to ask a question when he pressed his shoulder in surprise and looked carefully.
For some reason, the runes Russell had just written had a different kind of temptation: delicate and perfect, as if every rune was waving to her.
Russell had the rare luxury of not only using special paper for magic books, but also writing only 10 runes evenly on each piece of paper.
Carpenter silently picked up the first piece of paper and read it carefully.
Russell finished writing the runes, and when he stood up, he saw Carpenter, who was already immersed in the beauty of the runes.
"What? Carpenter, what did you see?" he asked with a smile.
"Your runes are even more perfect than those in the magic book." Carpenter put down the paper and gently loosened his finger that had been tracing, "My brother seems to be very powerful!"
Her big eyes turned in a circle, sending a quiet signal to Russell with her eyes: Is this the secret you discovered in the library?
Russell smiled at her, blinked, and then smiled again.
Carpenter immediately understood that this was just some of the things, not all of them, but he couldn't say a word.
The benefits Russell has received will always be shared with her.
Moreover, Carpenter quickly thought of a benefit...if Russell had the ability to protect her in the Tower of Black Mystery, then she wouldn't need to think so much!
She quickly raised her head: "You learned two spells?
Then...is there any hope of becoming a high-level apprentice before the age of 16?"
Russell pursed his lips and said a little uncomfortably: "What I'm studying now are only the two majors in the prophecy department.
You should know that only by learning other spells can I become a high-level one."
"There is hope, right?" Carpenter knows Russell very well. He never likes to be too absolute when speaking. In this type of words, he basically feels that there is more than half hope!
Russell nodded: "Well, there is still hope."
"If you can go in normally...then even if I pay to go in, I won't be bullied, right?" Carpenter asked quickly.
"But there is a premise." Russell did not object as firmly as he did two days ago this time, "You must learn all the runes again before that.
I remember you had a transparent gauze scarf?
Trace it bit by bit until you can form the correct trajectory in your mind, and then write it yourself.
Even if you spit it out, you should try to write the runes as perfect as possible, okay?"
Of course Carpenter could tell that these runes were indeed the key to Russell's promotion, so she was not a fool.
Although she was very reluctant to part with her only luxury item, she never felt that it was more important than her future.
She nodded cautiously: "I will."
Russell touched her head: "Then I'm going to sleep. When I wake up, I will go back to the meditation room. We don't have much time!"
