Chapter 73 Commitment, Return, Muddy Footsteps and Spa
In the world of magic, there is a proverb that has been widely circulated for thousands of years: A wizard can say goodbye to his life, but he can never say goodbye to his spellbook.
Some people may think that this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but in fact, for a mage, this is an irrefutable truth. In a mage's life, he may have various magic props, equipment, and even treasures, but spell books
But it can only be the only one. Since the apprenticeship, every bit of progress, every bit of growth, and every hard-learned spell of the mage has been completely engraved in the spell book. It can be said that the spell book is
The second heart and brain of the mage, and even the necromancers of Lian Dejia cannot deny this. But it is precisely based on this irreplaceable importance that once the spell book is damaged, the blow to the mage will be huge.
will be fatal.
But now, Heyna directly hands over her spell book to Moriarty, which is equivalent to putting her personal magic future and life in the other person's hands. For a young mage apprentice, such a move even requires
It is more absolute and thorough than "dedication".
Moriarty held the light blue spell book in both hands, his eyes fixed on Heyana's face, and he was speechless for a moment. Under the other person's gaze, Heyna slowly turned red.
"Okay, hurry up and start studying. I have to go back to the Mage Tower first." Finally, the girl's shyness defeated her pretense of calmness. Haiyanna stood up and hurriedly left the reading room as if running away.
Moriarty did not stop Heyana from leaving, but just looked at the back of the girl who quickly disappeared, in a daze. As if unconsciously, his index finger kept slowly rubbing the cover of the spell book, like
It's caressing the girl's sincere face.
"Promise...responsibility..." After a long time, Moriarty's deep monologue finally sounded in the silent reading room.
A few nights ago, Moriarty and Heyena quietly made an agreement about the future. From a certain perspective, it was a promise of an intimate relationship between men and women. A young girl left her father's alchemy.
To follow in the footsteps of another man instead of working in the studio not only requires courage, but also represents a very precious heart. And now, Heyana has once again fully revealed this heart to the man she loves, Moria
How could Di not be happy and moved by it?
It has been nearly two years since he came to this world, but there is still an indelible sense of absurdity and an indescribable sense of substitution lingering in Moriarty's heart. But at this moment, these strange feelings have finally disappeared.
What replaces it is the responsibility of a man and his strong love.
After an unknown amount of time, Moriarty slowly calmed down. Since she already has love, she must do her best to protect her from any harm. In this plane of sword and magic, she must do this.
These require strength, very strong strength.
With a faint breath, Moriarty slowly opened the light blue spell book. Immediately, a bright red light shined from the first page of the spell book. Through the red light, Moriarty looked intently and saw
A set of rotating magic symbols are clearly engraved on the white pages, which is the first-level spell - Fire Magic Defense (Fire System).
Moriarty stretched out his finger and lightly tapped on the set of magic symbols. Immediately, a wave of energy containing a large amount of information was directly transmitted to Moriarty's mind along his fingertips.
"So that's it." Moriarty quickly browsed through a series of spell structures, incantations, magic graphics and other knowledge received in his mind, but soon moved his fingers away, and then the energy fluctuated.
It also stopped. At this time, Moriarty looked at the set of magic symbols on the page. Although it was still shining, it was a little dimmer than before.
"Sure enough, if you learn directly from the spell book, no matter how careful you are, it will inevitably cause damage due to the loss of the energy of the spell itself." Moriarty thought, carefully closing Heyna's spell book: "So
To learn spells, you must go through the spell learning scroll, not only because the mage wants to hide his secrets, but also to protect the spell book from harm."
"Hayana, you are really..." Moriarty sighed softly again, looking at the light blue spell book that had been closed again.
Fortunately, there is a crystal book in Moriarty's soul, so there is no risk that Heyana's spell book will be damaged by reading the magic symbols for too long. With just a thought, the light blue spell book will disappear in an instant.
Moriarty disappeared from his hand and reappeared only a second later. At this time, Moriarty had already burned his third level spell "Fire Magic Defense" into the crystal book.
In the evening, Moriarty returned to the mage tower and handed the spell book back to Heyna.
"What's wrong?" Heyana looked at Moriarty in confusion, but did not take it immediately: "No matter how genius you are, you can't just spend an afternoon learning a new first-level spell, right?"
"Of course it's impossible. I remember hearing you say that the highest record held since the establishment of Hockenheim was twenty-six days and three hours; it was set by a mage apprentice named 'Nibelungen' one hundred and seventy years ago.
It was created while learning the 'Bloodthirsty Technique'. It is said that the apprentice is a half-dragon, half-elf hybrid with amazing magical talent." Although Heyna immediately told the truth, Moriarty still denied it with a smile on his face.
But having said that, even if Moriarty admitted it honestly, the girl standing opposite him might not believe it.
"Then why are you still there?" Haierna was still puzzled.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt." Moriarty slowly walked up to Heyana. Under the girl's gaze, he stretched out his hand and gently brushed her hanging black hair up to her ears that were starting to turn red: "Even if
No matter how scarce gold coins are, they are just trivial matters to me. But every bit of your contribution is a big deal to me."
"You...discovered it so quickly..." Haiyana pursed her lips slightly, her eyes were shy and sweet, and her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, trembling slightly.
"Yes, luckily I discovered it." Resisting the temptation to kiss the girl's sweet mouth, Moriarty nodded and took a step back: "So, put away your spell book."
"Yes." Haiyana nodded obediently, but still asked: "Then what should you do?"
"Of course I bought the learning scroll from my uncle's studio. The price of a first-level spell learning scroll in the academy is roughly 3,000 to 5,000 gold coins. Uncle promised to provide it to me at half price, which is already quite cheap." Mori
Artie sat down on the sofa nearby and said.
A standard first-level spell learning scroll can support a mage apprentice to learn for three months at normal intensity. However, if it is still not learned by then, the magical energy originally sealed in the scroll will be exhausted, and the apprentice will have to spend
A large amount of gold coins can be used to buy a new scroll. Under normal circumstances, spending two to three scrolls to fully master a new first-level spell is a good result.
"Then which one do you plan to learn first?" Heyna followed Moriarty and sat down.
"'Water Therapy' and 'Mud Footsteps'." Moriarty said directly, obviously he already had a case.
At present, the first-level spells Moriarty has mastered include: magic arrow, breath of wind and fire magic defense. Among them, magic arrow is used for attack, and fire magic defense is to increase fire magic resistance. As for wind,
After hearing the news, Moriarty planned to cooperate with Muddy Footsteps to form a "spell package" that combines speed and slowness. Because of the experience and lessons learned at Ford Night Market, Moriarty deeply realized that as a low-level mage, outside the battlefield
Providing key auxiliary support can bring out the value of a mage professional more than going directly to fight on your own, and is of course safer.
As for hydrotherapy, it is a rare healing spell in the magic system. Since the disappearance of the Church of Light and the sacred healing magic on the Antagrich continent, hydrotherapy has become an important tool for professionals to use when venturing in the wild, in addition to potions.
The only option is healing. This is why many adventure teams particularly favor mages who have mastered hydrotherapy when recruiting members. Because having such people is equivalent to putting a solid patch on the entire team. Of course.
, if it is only used by a mage apprentice, the hydrotherapy technique can only cure some minor injuries at most. The effect of hydrotherapy is amazing only when it is cast by a middle-priced mage or above, or even a high-level mage who has obtained the water element field.
. It is said that the Grand Arcanist-level hydrotherapy can even restore a broken heart to health in an instant. However, to achieve such a spell effect, the mage consumes a huge amount of mana and energy.
"Are you planning to learn two spells at the same time?" After hearing Moriarty's words, Heyana exclaimed softly.
"Not at the same time, but successively." Moriarty shook his head: "In my plan, the practice of alchemy and magic are parallel and balanced. So one year, if everything goes well, is enough for two first-level students.
I have learned spells. And as you know, I hope to pass the test to be promoted to a formal mage next year, but if I only rely on the minimum three first-level spells, I feel that I am not very sure of success."
Because the test for an apprentice to become a formal mage is not just about casting three first-level spells to pass, it usually also requires completing a specific task. At this point, being able to master one more spell is a blessing.
The difference between places.
"Okay, Moriarty, I respect your decision." Looking into Moriarty's eyes, Heyana finally accepted the other person's new plan.
