The dim yellow candlelight shines through the silver magic lampshade, illuminating the whole room extremely brightly. Annick, Leylia and Heidi are all calculating on the paper and analyzing the exercises left by Lucien.
"About the elemental equations and structural diagrams behind the apprentice-level magic of acid splashing".
This carefully selected magic can enable them to memorize some elemental symbols, skillfully use the basic theorems of magical geometry, master calculation methods and the principles of mapping elemental equations to constructed graphics.
Three children around the age of fourteen were paying full attention to the analysis, with a hint of exhaustion on their faces.
There was a knock on the door. Annick sat up straight and looked around blankly as if he had woken up from a dream.
Leielia and Heidi put down their quills half a beat slower than him, and said with a little worry and fear: "Is Mr. Evans coming back? Will there be another magic analysis question? Or will we be in the magic practice room like in the afternoon?
Release magic continuously?"
During this time, Lucien would instruct and do a set of exercises in the morning, and in the afternoon let them practice the release of magic over and over again and again, in order to shorten the casting time and better understand the basics of arcane magic through application. In the evening
It was to comment and explain the exercises during the day, as well as the magic analysis questions that required several nights of hard work to figure out, which made the three teenagers get excited when they heard the footsteps of Lucien, an official magician who was not much older than them.
Feelings of numbness, fatigue, and depression.
But when they saw the magic that they had struggled to learn and perform in the past being released in their own hands, they felt a strong sense of accomplishment and happiness and satisfaction.
Annick shook his head: "Mr. Evans will just open the door and come in."
Hearing Annick's affirmation, Leylia and Heidi both patted their chests: "Fortunately it's not Mr. Evans."
"I'm going to see who it is. Well, it seems that night has completely fallen. Why do I feel that I just had dinner and saw the red clouds like blood in the evening." Annick shook his head, feeling that after these few days of hard study, he
There is always a feeling that time is out of whack.
Opening the door, Annick was surprised to see Splinter and Katrina standing at the door who ignored him and were slightly proud. With their outstanding talents and rapid growth in strength, they have become leaders among the apprentices.
Interviewer: "Splinter, Katrina, what can I do for you?"
Whether he wanted to admit it or not, when he saw Splinter and Katrina explaining the basics of arcane magic to other young apprentices, and when he saw them releasing magic naturally, quickly and smoothly, Annick felt envious.
They don't need to practice as hard as themselves and Heidi to achieve this level, and there is indeed reason to be proud of.
When Splinter heard Annick's question, his face with clear lines at a young age showed an expression of surprise. Then he couldn't help but said in a funny voice: "Annick, are you dizzy while doing the questions? Today is our day.
When leaving for the parliament headquarters!”
"What, it's already the seventh day?" Heidi just jumped to the door when she heard the news. Her expression was extremely shocked, and then she counted on her fingers: "One set of exercises, two sets of exercises... Uh, really
It’s time to leave and I completely forgot!”
Leylia's face was a little pale due to exhaustion. She looked at the night scene outside the window, and her crisp voice became muffled due to the whole afternoon of chanting: "It's only been seven days?"
Katrina's proud face showed a little sympathy: "Annick, Heidi, Leylia, look at how you look! Mr. Evans has just come into contact with arcana, and his guidance is wrong. You have to point it out. You can't.
Let him try and torture."
"Hmph, you close the door every day and do those repetitive, simple exercises. What's the use of that?!" Splinter raised his head slightly and said. "I think your arcane foundation is still very poor."
Leylia shook her head subconsciously and said: "I think it is very useful. If I couldn't find where the arcane door was seven days ago, now I have touched the edge of the door."
"Leylia is right. Mr. Evans is an official magician. He summed up the learning sequence and the repetitive and simple exercises. I think they are very useful. At least now I can independently learn the following content in advance.
You won't feel like you can't understand it at all." Annick rubbed his painful forehead and said clearly and logically.
Heidi also put away her liveliness and said seriously with a small face: "In the past few days in the magic practice room, haven't you also seen the progress of our magic release? This is all because Mr. Evans taught well!"
After the three teenagers expressed their support for Mr. Evans, they all said silently in their hearts:
"It would be perfect if there were fewer practice questions!"
Splinter snorted: "Magic casting certainly requires extensive and repeated practice. Mr. Evans is indeed the authority in this regard, but that's not what I meant." He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed.
He turned back and said: "Forget it, you can continue to suffer. Remember to gather in the study hall at ten o'clock."
Katrina glanced at Splinter's back as he turned away, and then said: "Remember ten o'clock sharp, study hall. It is said that when we get to the council, we will be arranged to enter the magic school system to learn the basics of arcana and magic. You are delaying now,
It’s nothing.”
"Why don't they want to believe what we say? I really think there has been a lot of progress. Reading books before would have given me a headache!" Heidi looked at the other two aggrievedly, feeling that it was difficult for Splinter and the others to communicate.
Leylia also puffed her lips: "Although I also think we are tired and pitiful, our progress in the basics of arcane magic is really obvious."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. As long as we keep making progress, they will always believe it." Annick comforted them, but his face fell down as he spoke, "We haven't finished the magic analysis questions yet. Today is Evans
The deadline set by Mr.
Leylia and Heidi immediately lost their grievances, and said at the same time with anger and eagerness: "Let me defeat it!"
…………
They were once again immersed in the world of magic, only to wake up again when someone tapped them on the shoulder.
"Mr. Evans." Annick turned around and saw Lucien's handsome and gentle face, but he could not tell the fear, "I'm still a little short of analyzing it."
Hearing this name that made them admire and fear them, Leylia and Heidi stood up quickly: "Mr. Evans, I still have a lot to do..."
Lucien got the "Brook Meditation Method" and said in a good mood: "It's good to be able to achieve this level. Since we are going to set off tonight, let's postpone the time until tomorrow night."
"Really?" Heidi almost jumped up. She and Leylia said happily together: "It's really great!"
Even Annick, a relatively quiet and ordinary boy, couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Lucien reflected on himself for a moment. He smiled and said, "It's half an hour until ten o'clock. Let's talk. Tell me honestly, is it too much practice?"
After dinner, Lucien came over to take a look at them, and then returned to his room to experiment with the "Brook Meditation Method".
This meditation method treats mental power as a wave to temper and vibrate, seeking a special frequency. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the meditation environment and can be integrated into other meditation methods. It also provides different integration methods for different schools of meditation. , so there is no conflict with the astrological meditation method and elemental meditation method currently used by Lucien.
After experiments, Lucien found that the effect was indeed obvious, ten times that of the ancient meditation method before, allowing him to reach the minimum requirements for the soul and mental power of a second-level magician in more than a month. It was close to the results of the past year. I have to sigh in my heart, in this world, magic does not become more powerful as it gets older, but it has developed significantly.
Hearing Lucien's question, Leylia blushed slightly and said, "Mr. Evans, it's actually not bad. Without so much practice, I definitely wouldn't be able to master the basics of arcane magic so firmly." Then she put on her clothes. The feet of the black round-toe shoes scraped against the ground, and his face became increasingly red, "But if it can be a little less..."
"Mr. Evans, although it is very hard, I think it is worth it!" Annick replied boldly. He can clearly feel the progress in these seven days.
Heidi also followed Leylia's example: "As long as Mr. Evans doesn't want us to take out another one as soon as we finish practicing one, everything else is acceptable..."
Lucien chuckled and said: "The current purpose is to help you lay the foundation. Let you accept the arcane concept, and the number will be reduced appropriately later." My head teacher also lied to me in this way... but it will indeed be reduced, because here Theory can be directly linked to practice.
Seeing the three teenagers bowing their heads happily but shyly, Lucien continued: "Actually, when you become official magicians in the future, you will find that the basic arcane skills you are currently learning are so simple and easy, so clear and easy to understand. I think calculus and Things like the principles of magic construction should be deeply hated by many magicians."
"Is it really that difficult?" Heidi asked curiously.
"Of course. But it's not too difficult. I have a hunch that with the rapid development of arcana and magic, knowledge will become more and more difficult in the future. Maybe in one or two hundred years, magicians below high level will probably not be exposed to it. , but if high-level magicians want to be promoted, they may need to learn all kinds of terrifying... changes... non... analysis... theories, etc., as well as all kinds of unimaginable things that go deep into the micro level and macro level. Something." Lucien sighed vaguely.
Leylia's curiosity was also aroused: "Mr. Evans, how difficult do you think it will be?"
"It will probably be so difficult that those high-level magicians can't wait to travel through time and space and kill the guys who created this knowledge one by one." Lucien replied half-jokingly.
Sweat broke out on the faces of Annick and the two little girls. Then he asked in a low voice: "Among the people who may be wanted to be killed one by one by future high-level magicians, are you, Mr. Evans?"
What a terrifying existence high-level magicians are. Just like Mr. Astaire, will they be forced to this extent?
"Probably, maybe, hope." Lucien looked at them funny.
Annick subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Mr. Evans, at my current age and body, can I turn to the path of a knight..."
Leylia and Heidi also had similar expressions.
Looking at Annick's thin body, Lucien shook his head and said humorously: "You should continue your promising career as a magician. The path of a magician is lonely, lonely and difficult. Uh, no, it is
Full of glory, wealth and worship.”
The words that were obviously joking caused the three teenagers to nod in agreement: "Yes, we heard that official magicians are powerful and wealthy, and are sought after by ordinary people in kingdoms such as Holm.
It is one of the best choices for marriage..."
"Haha, okay, let's go to the study hall. It's almost ten o'clock." Lucien understood that the status of magicians in this world is very good, as long as there is no suppression by the church. Because they directly control the terrifying extraordinary power.
…………
In the dark and quiet night, two pointed boats slid in the canal and headed towards the pier.
When we arrived at the pier, the pointed boat did not stop and continued to go out to sea until a three-masted sailboat stood out in the darkness.
Tom solemnly said to Lucien: "Mr. Evans, you may have some hardships on this journey. Because of the previous betrayers, several of our routes to break through the blockade have been discovered, and now we can only activate the backup plan.
."
"What's the backup plan? How did the church get blocked?" Lucien naturally wanted to know more about it in detail.
Tom explained briefly: "The church uses precious, only dozens of magical airships to patrol in mid-air in order to find unknown ships; there are fleets affiliated with the Knights of the Helmet on the sea surface for a long time to sweep and inspect; on the bottom of the sea, there are
Some of the Kuo Tao murlocs who changed their beliefs were responsible. Originally, we bribed several murloc patrol captains and relied on the magic sailboat's ability to dive briefly to break through the blockade. However, after Brown's betrayal, those murloc partners have been burned at the stake.
Fight."
"Three-dimensional three-dimensional blockade by sea, land and air... Fortunately, there is no radar..." Lucien subconsciously thought about it, "What about now?"
Tom pointed to the sailboat: "This is a sailboat belonging to Viscount Wright's caravan. He has in-depth commercial cooperation with us and gives us the opportunity to hide you in the cabin. The environment there is harsh, and there are all coolies and sailors. There are no knights and
The pastor is willing to go down. As long as you are careful, you will not be discovered. Of course, I will be with you and be responsible for providing you with water and food."
