"I think your idea is very bold and very appropriate. I have been thinking about it for a long time. I also want to open a door to the stability of the demonic tide. You know, there can't be an endless supply of monsters in this world! I feel blocked.
It's better to open a door for it and let it release monsters all the time. Maybe there won't be any so-called demonic tide."
Being in a dark and closed space, the old woman was speaking with a kind of fanatical excitement, which seemed particularly strange.
Li Wen just looked around with his eyes.
The deep basement where the old woman took him obviously had a special layout.
A circular shape like an altar, with a diameter of about 5 meters on the protruding flat ground, was carved with two circles, one large and one small.
Inside the circle composed of two circles, there is a circle of inscriptions written in magic words.
If Li Wen read it correctly, the purpose of this formation is... to stabilize the elemental field?
So professional...
Sure enough, a mage like me who has become a monk halfway is different from those old mage who have been around for many years.
"As for how the Flash Technique opens up the connection between the two planes, this is what I think..."
Li Wen turned around, said something, and started casting spells directly.
And in the middle of casting the spell, it stopped forcibly, so that the spell reached a strange stage.
Li Wen's body loomed, like a movie cassette, and even his voice became intermittent, sounding weird as if he had lost his tail tone.
Is this...a sign of half entering the etheric plane?
Miss Pie, who was watching, opened her mouth slightly and fell into a daze.
This is not a failure of the spell...but that the control over the spell is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can freely control the progress of the spell.
Damn it! Didn’t he say that he had to learn it reluctantly?
However, the old woman was not aware of this level of proficiency, she just looked excited.
"Just wait, I'll come too."
As he spoke, he also began to concentrate on casting spells - Flash.
The two bodies disappeared on the spot and entered the so-called etheric plane.
Miss Pie was left alone in the dark basement, wanting to cry without tears.
It's obviously for three people...
"I'm coming too! Humph!"
Miss Pie also started casting spells.
Before the spell was finished, Li Wen and the old woman returned to the real world again, but they were no longer in the same position.
Woohoo~whose teacher are you?
"By the way, remind me when it's almost 4 o'clock."
Li Wen, who was having a heated discussion with the mage's old lady, did not forget his responsibilities in the temple.
Damn it! Why do you treat me like an assistant?
"Okay~"
Smiling sweetly.
…
The two of them studied and discussed together for almost the whole day, except for the time from 4 to 6 pm when they went back to check in and attend the meeting...
It wasn't until his stomach growled that Li Wen realized that it was getting late.
After leaving the basement, I discovered that the moon and stars were sparse in the sky outside, and the silver glow was sprinkled on the earth, as if everything was covered with a layer of silver gauze.
On the path leading to the house in the manor, there was a strange, fat figure shuffling over.
Li Wen looked a little creepy.
Miss Pie obviously knows her.
"It's the mage from the necromantic faction."
When they passed each other, Li Wen saw him clearly.
It turned out to be a thin old man carrying a big corpse.
The old man, shrouded in the shadow of the corpse, looked at the two of them with a sneer in his eyes, "There is another fool who was deceived by that old woman..."
After walking over, the necromancer's voice still came, as if he was speaking to the two of them on purpose...or to Li Wen.
“I’ve been thinking about doing some great research that will change the world, but I can’t even understand basic secondary alchemy. It’s so funny~”
Miss Pie glanced at Li Wen carefully, watching Li Wen's reaction.
She knew that her tutor might not be very good in the eyes of mages of the same level.
Li Wen looked forward, with a smile on his lips, as if he had never heard the old man's sarcasm.
After a day of contact, he had an idea of Miss Pie's teacher's level.
A qualified third-level mage, nothing more.
It's not outstanding, and some of the questions even seem a bit stupid. I have sought the advice of a level 6 mage like Li Wen many times.
However, he is humble enough, enthusiastic enough, and... reassuring enough.
Her modesty doesn't change the fact that she's a wonderful partner.
Li Wen often benefited a lot from the opinions put forward by an experienced scholar and master from another perspective.
In the next few days, Li Wen did not go to the library.
Miss Pie’s teacher, Julian, brought considerable progress to Li Wen’s research.
When they parted at night, Julian looked at Li Wen with his bright eyes, full of fanatical yearning.
"Master Li Wen! You are a genius! Tomorrow! Let's try to start experiments tomorrow!"
Li Wen frowned slightly, "But isn't it said that there is a lack of some formation materials?"
"It's okay! I'll borrow money from that undead old man to buy it! Leave the materials to me! Just be responsible for presiding over the formation!"
"this……"
Li Wen had nothing to say, after all, he was also a poor man.
But Li Wen always felt guilty because he contributed money and effort.
Even if all of this comes from a scholar's infinite pursuit of truth.
"Okay, okay! Go back and rest quickly. You will need to put in a lot of energy tomorrow!"
"Good night then, Master Julian."
After leaving the manor, Irene walked beside Li Wen with her hands behind her back on the cold and quiet streets.
Suddenly he ran in front of Li Wen in two quick steps, grabbed Li Wen's eyes with his eyes and said.
"Li Wen, you will definitely become the greatest mage in our Sword Wind City!"
As she spoke, Miss Pie turned and ran away.
In the dark of night, the roots of my ears turned red.
As she ran, her smooth calves were looming under the black skirt.
Li Wen still remembered the ambitions the mage apprentice had made when he first met her.
So he asked loudly.
"What about you?"
"I?"
The mage apprentice replied while running: "I will become the second greatest mage in Swordwind City!"
…
After saying goodbye to the girl, Li Wen walked back home.
There was a figure at the door, wandering hesitantly.
I couldn't see clearly the person coming in the dark, until I got closer, I realized it was someone who looked familiar.
The Minister of the Mages Association named Eric?
Li Wen searched out this cold and sinister-looking face from his memory.
"Minister Eric? Are you looking for me?"
Seeing Li Wen, the cold-faced minister forced a smile on his face.
He waited for the rabbit for a few days, but the rabbit didn't come, which almost caused him trouble.
It wasn't until today that I let go of my little reserve and took the initiative to come to my door.
"Hmm~ I was passing by...I remembered something about Master Li Wen, so I stopped by to ask Master Li Wen for his opinion."
It doesn't look smooth at all.
However, Li Wen didn't show any signs of confusion and just nodded.
"Well... come in and talk."
Entering the room, Minister Eric got straight to the point.
"It's like this. Didn't you sign a spell agreement with Master Li Wen before? Regarding the monetary benefits of the Icathia Thunder Shower... I would like to ask Master Li Wen for his opinion."
Li Wen poured him a glass of water and asked softly.
"How to say?"
"It's just that the association's funds have been tight recently. I wonder if Master Li Wen would like to let us use your gold coins temporarily. Of course, in return, the association is willing to pay some magic items in exchange."
???
So weird...
How can anyone actively exchange magic items for money?
Moreover, Finance Minister Goodkin, whom I met before, should be responsible for this matter.
