"So, do you want to learn magic?" Sylvie's smile was as beautiful as the moon in the sky, bright and flawless.
But Jiang Qiao cared more about the words she said than her smile.
Let me ask, which boy has not harbored a yearning for magic and superpowers?
"Are you telling the truth? Can I really learn magic from you?" Jiang Qiao confirmed again and again.
"Of course, I am happy to bring magic to your world," Sylvie said sternly, "I just don't know what the concentration of elements in your place is and whether it can meet the conditions for releasing magic."
Then she showed a bright smile: "But, you have to try this kind of thing to know... So, are you willing to learn magic?"
Jiang Qiao nodded heavily, his eyes full of excitement.
"Okay... first, let me teach you some basic knowledge about magicians."
Sylvie put on a small face and cleared her throat, just like she remembered Mr. Bass doing.
"In Paristia, magicians are divided into nine levels. The first and second levels are magic apprentices, the third to fourth levels are junior magicians, the fifth to sixth levels are intermediate magicians, and the seventh to eighth levels are senior magicians.
, as for the remaining ninth level, he is the legendary great mage."
"Well, for the time being, I'm just a small first-level magic apprentice...hehe."
"In a country of magic, people generally live longer. Even ordinary people who have no connection with magic can live to be a hundred years old or even longer by relying on some specific magic items."
"The strength and affinity of those great magisters to elements are ridiculously strong, and their lifespan is usually five or six hundred years. I once read in a book about a great magister who majored in plant magic. It is said that he once
The medieval era has survived to this day, and that was an era two thousand years ago!"
"The most important ability of a magician is to communicate with the elements between heaven and earth. That's why it is said that the power of a magician does not lie in the high level."
"Some people with extraordinary talents can communicate with a wide range of elements since they are born," Sylvie stretched out her hand to make a big circle, "The more elements that echo you, the more powerful the magic you release."
"Magic apprentices don't have the ability to communicate with nature yet, so they can only rely on the power of the magic circle."
"The principle of the magic circle is similar to that of sacrifice. Those elemental elves are just like this."
Jiang Qiao didn't know when he took out a notebook and wrote down the key words while listening. He really knew how to take notes.
No wonder teachers like those obedient students... Teacher Sylvie is really satisfied with such studious students.
Her mouth felt dry after talking, so she took a water glass from the side and took a big sip.
"Oh, I almost died of thirst... keep talking."
"Here comes the most important point. Just wait."
I saw Sylvie lifting up her skirt again and running to the back to rummage through the boxes.
When he returned to the door again, Jiang Qiao looked at her holding a transparent glass bottle in her hand. The bottle was only about half the size of a palm and contained some kind of red powder.
"This is the magic powder I bought on the black market. You can use it to draw magic circles." Sylvie held the glass bottle and shook it carefully. "You have to be careful when using it."
Jiang Qiao nodded solemnly, such a precious thing must be used well.
However, he actually misunderstood Sylvie's intention, which was to prevent him from hurting himself when using it.
As for the money for the medicine powder, how could the princess of the Kingdom of France care about it?
"Next, I'll teach you how to use it." Sylvie said seriously.
Jiang Qiao listened more carefully, and his note-taking hand was like holding a steel gun.
"First, you need to mix these medicinal powders into a paste in proportion..."
...
"Okay, that's all." Sylvie breathed a sigh of relief after imparting the knowledge, "Next, you need to test the elemental nature of your side, and then you have to practice seriously."
Elemental properties, in layman's terms, are the concentration of elements in this world, and are the key to magical reactions.
"Here, I'll give you this bottle of powder." Sylvie said as if throwing something away.
Jiang Qiao opened his palms wide, fearing that the glass bottle would fall to the ground and crack, which would be difficult.
"Get ready, three, two..." Sylvie counted down and was about to throw it over.
At this time, Jiang Qiao's familiar voice suddenly sounded in the yard.
"Xiao Hei, are you going to piss me off to death?"
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, no, he forgot that Cheng Ruoxi said he was coming here!
"Jiang Qiao, are you in there? I'll pick up Xiao Hei." Cheng Ruoxi's voice got closer and closer.
Jiang Qiao panicked and ran out under the incomprehensible look in Sylvie's eyes.
He opened the door, got out, and immediately closed it again, leaving only a small gap.
At this time, Cheng Ruoxi was only a few steps away from him.
"What are you doing? You're so mysterious. You haven't turned on the light yet." Cheng Ruoxi curiously looked into the gap, but only saw darkness.
"No, nothing." Jiang Qiao shook his head guiltily.
"Well, let me guess, with such a tight covering... you didn't bring your little girlfriend home, right?" Cheng Ruoxi said with a bad smile.
"Where...where is that?!" Jiang Qiao was really frightened now. If he hadn't known Cheng Ruoxi well, he would have suspected that the latter was monitoring his home.
"Okay, let's see how anxious you are... I'm not interested in what you're hiding." Cheng Ruoxi curled her lips and threw a bag of things to Jiang Qiao.
"I'm leaving. Remember not to be late tomorrow, as Uncle Jiang said."
"Let's go, Xiaohei! Are you still playing? Don't run around tomorrow!"
...
Jiang Qiao stared blankly at Cheng Ruoxi's leaving figure and opened the bag.
There was a box of hot potato and chicken rice bowl inside, and the rich aroma penetrated into his nostrils almost instantly.
Why are you bringing me food so late... To be honest, Jiang Qiao even had the urge to cry at that moment.
...
"Sylvie..."
Jiang Qiao walked into the living room carrying the bag.
The door had been quietly closed at some point, and the living room had returned to its original appearance. Except for papers flying all over the floor, it seemed that no one had been there.
The glass bottle containing the powder stood alone on the floor by the door.
Next to it lay a piece of brown parchment, covered with patterns.
Jiang Qiao carefully picked up the medicine bottle and paper together, and prepared to sit on the sofa to study it carefully.
Sylvie had just explained to him that the parchment contained some magic arrays for basic magic.
Use a paste made from medicinal powder to draw a magic circle, and you can communicate with the elemental spirits in this world.
"Every element has life, they are elves born naturally." Sylvie said.
Then, all kinds of magic can be released... Jiang Qiao was filled with excitement, and his yearning for magic defeated the pervasive loneliness.
He glanced at the clock and saw that it was less than eight o'clock. He had just enough time to study how to draw a magic circle.
However, you still have to fill your stomach first.
Jiang Qiao sat on the sofa, skillfully opened the lunch box, scooped out a large spoonful of potatoes and roasted chicken and put it in his mouth.
