What is magic?

This is Yi Lin's biggest concern.

Cerberus has been appointed as Yi Lin's magic instructor.

She is also very responsible.

Without any nonsense, Cerberus readily took an introductory textbook from the bookshelf and began to explain it to Yi Lin.

Yi Lin has the foundation of "magic" and "crystal pattern art", coupled with super high spiritual attributes, he has palace-level understanding ability, and he can understand it quickly.

But when he understood, he sighed secretly, and finally understood why Bartholomew Dylan agreed so readily this morning.

According to Cerberus, the so-called magic is indeed a mysterious science that can be "learned".

Magic is a phenomenon that transcends common sense.

In other words, magic is taking something that can be done under common sense and using another non-common sense method to make it happen.

In the terminology of magicians, there is also the concept of "magic".

Yi Lin became excited as soon as she heard it.

Magicians use "unconventional" means to accomplish things that "human beings can accomplish".

This is magic.

Just give a simple example.

- Make a fire.

Modern technology, a lighter, a natural gas stove, or other ignition equipment can easily be completed.

Magicians, on the other hand, do this without using modern technology.

Doesn't this sound like taking off your pants and farting?

Indeed.

At least, Yi Rin sounds like it.

And "things that are absolutely impossible for humans to accomplish" are called "magic".

The concept of magic is something that neither humans nor magicians can accomplish.

Speaking of magic, Yi Lin thought of the Supreme Mage again.

The magic that the Supreme Mage uses is serious magic.

But according to his theory, his magic cannot be accomplished by humans alone. The Supreme Mage must communicate with inhuman bosses from other planes and use their power to complete "magic".

It took a while for Yi Lin to understand the essence of "magic" literally.

"It's just a science. Well, as expected, you have to believe in science."

Yi Lin understands, understands.

In an instant, he once again acted as a great engineer, drawing inferences from one example and talking to Cerberus in the library.

As Cerberus and Yi Lin chatted, their eyes gradually showed some inexplicable changes.

For Cerberus, Yi Lin, an outsider who knew nothing about "magic" not long ago, had completed the "introductory education" of magic in less than an hour. This monster-level understanding ability,

This made Cerberus suspicious several times. She wondered if Yi Lin was a spy sent by Wandering Sea.

But it's impossible.

Magicians have a way of identifying each other. It is a unique "smell" that is almost impossible to hide.

Times are progressing.

The definitions of "magic" and "magic" are constantly changing subtly with the passage of time.

Let’s take “lighting a fire” as an example.

In the ancient Stone Age, when humans had not yet mastered "fire", "making fire" was a kind of magic. Because, in the eyes of primitive people at that time, this was "something that humans could never accomplish."

But now, it has become a kind of "magic".

Another example is to destroy a mountain. In modern times, this kind of powerful magic was also regarded as "magic". However, with the development of science and technology, it mysteriously declined. Humanity's thermal weapons emerged in endlessly, and even when nuclear bombs were invented, the sheer destructive power

, is no longer in the category of "magic".

this age.

There are fewer and fewer things that can be called "magic".

After grasping the simple definition of magic.

Of course let’s get to the point.

"I recognize your understanding." Cerberus sighed softly when he got to the point. She hesitated for a moment, but turned around and took off her clothes in front of Yi Lin.

Yi Lin stared at it carefully.

He would not be stupid enough to think that Cerberus suddenly had a fit and was craving for his body.

Sure enough, on Cerberus' exposed white back, a complex tattoo that almost filled the back skin caught Yi Lin's eyes.

"This is the 'Magic Seal'. Magic is not a technique that one generation can thoroughly study and use freely. Magic is a technique and skill that generations of magicians use to pass on their research, understanding, and experience to the next generation.

Knowledge."

"In addition, to become a magician, you must have excellent blood, excellent magic circuits in your body, and a huge knowledge reserve. These three points are indispensable. In a short period of time, you even know what is

You can’t successfully get started with magic.”

Cerberus calmly put on his tuxedo, turned around, as if nothing happened, and poured a basin of cold water on Yi Lin.

I don’t know if it was Yi Lin’s misunderstanding, but when Cerberus said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Yi Lin doesn't mind either.

He rubbed his palms, but his expression was unusually calm: "It doesn't matter, even if you can't learn it, if you understand it, it might be helpful to find the treasure next."

Cerberus' expression was stunned. She never thought that this despicable foreigner would be so concerned about that matter. Cerberus lowered his head, clenched his fists, and remained silent.

"Can I read all these books?"

Yi Lin pointed at the vast sea of ​​books and asked.

"Can."

Cerberus replied: "But I remind you that every book has related magic set on it. I know that 'you' have a 'space' that can hide anything. But once any book is removed from the collection,

Disappearing in this world will alarm the clock tower."

"A way to prevent theft, haha, I understand. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Then I'll read the book first, and I'll come back to you if I have any questions."

Cerberus looked up and down Yi Lin's body several times with strange eyes. When he saw Yi Lin's sincere eyes, he left the place silently.

After Cerberus left.

The excitement that Yi Lin had suppressed for a long time finally appeared on her face.

On the surface, this room is full of books.

But in Yi Lin's eyes, these are all precious knowledge, "treasures" whose value cannot be measured by any goods.

"I'm on fire."

Yi Lin laughed and said, like a hungry wolf, he rushed towards the bookshelf.

…

In the clock tower, there are many students who are obsessed with academic research.

They are collectively known as the Magician's Apprentice.

Apprentices have a wide age range.

The youngest is not yet an adult.

The oldest one is already gray-haired and is about to step into the coffin with a belly full of knowledge.

The library is a public area.

Every apprentice is eligible to enter the library.

It's just that usually, there won't be too many people gathering.

Gradually, many people discovered a strange thing.

In the library, I don't know when, there was a strange person.

This weirdo is not wearing a magician's costume.

He didn't bring any attendants.

He doesn't even have the "smell" that a magician should have.

But he sat at the corner of the spiral staircase every day, with a stack of profound ancient magic books in front of him, reading them with gusto.

Many times, when some veteran magician apprentices pass by a weirdo, they can't help but want to ask: Do you understand?

But whenever the magician's apprentice who wanted to ask a question saw the weirdo's face, his expression changed for some unknown reason, and he hurriedly walked away, pretending he hadn't seen him.
