"Flying" was classified into the astrological system in ancient times, but in the Magic Council it belongs to both the force field system and the astrological system, because its principle of action is to use the gravity of the stars to offset the constraints of the earth.
"It feels so good to fly." Lucien closed his eyes and felt the cold wind blowing against his face. It was a feeling of freedom from all constraints. "It's just that the speed is a bit slow. You need to calculate the angle of the stars' gravity by yourself."
and direction, it really takes a lot of brainpower and energy, and it must be equipped with a magic circle to assist calculations. And before the six-ring advanced flight technique, there is no way to go as fast as a magic steam train, let alone an airplane or supersonic speed.
Well, use fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, etc. to optimize it."
Lucien, who was immersed in the beauty of flying, suddenly heard a calm male voice in his ears: "Dear fourth-level arcanist, Mr., you have violated Article 7, Paragraph 18 of the Arlinge Management Regulations: 'Unless you obtain the approval of the Magic Council
Permit, you are not allowed to fly in Arlinge. Will you pay the fine, or go to the Demonic Prison for a period of time?"
Ah? Lucien opened his eyes as if he had been awakened from a sweet dream, and looked at the young man wearing a black battle mage robe with some confusion in front of him. He had black hair and brown eyes, a serious expression, and four rings on his simple and smooth robe.
He has a magician badge, a red flame badge that symbolizes the battle mage, a black scepter badge that represents the internal disciplinary status of the magician, and a white feather badge that allows flying. However, because he is performing a security mission in Arlinge, he does not wear the arcanist badge.
Oops, I was so excited after learning to fly that I forgot that Arlinge banned flying... Lucien came back to his senses and realized that he had made a big mistake. He couldn't help but rub his forehead: "How much fine do I need to pay?"
Then he thought about the fact that he only had 61 arcane points of property. Lucien asked with a money-crazy temperament: "If I go to the Demonic Prison, how long will I be detained?"
Seeing that Lucien did not resist, the man's serious expression softened slightly: "Mr. Arcanist, this is the southwest suburb of Arlinge. The punishment is much lighter than flying in the core area of Sky City, and it is your first time.
If you violate it, the fine is thirty arcane points. If you go to the magic-forbidden prison, you will be imprisoned for a month."
"One month? Okay, I'll pay the fine." Lucien made the decision with some heartache, as if he was celebrating his promotion to the intermediate level by setting off a huge fireworks.
The man wrote a penalty note on paper with magical effects and stamped it with his identity badge: "Mr. Arcanist, just take it to the Department of Corrections and pay the fine."
Then he smiled and glanced at the dreamy and beautiful ring on Lucien's right hand: "Mr. Evans, congratulations on your promotion to the intermediate level. You have become another magician who has advanced to the third ring under the age of twenty-two.
.I think you won’t have any difficulties before the sixth ring.” The unique shape of this ring has long been known to magicians through tabloids circulated among magicians.
In fact, I am not yet twenty years old. Of course, if I count my age in my lifetime, then I am twenty-five years old... Lucien cursed and said with a gentle smile: "Thank you, you are the first to congratulate me on my promotion."
Magician. By the way, I don’t know your name yet, can you tell me?”
The battle mage smiled humorously: "Of course, I am not afraid of your retaliation, Mr. Evans. I am Yurisian from the Song of Silver Moon Alliance, and I currently belong to both the Punishment Department and the Battle Mage Department. The magic under my command just now
After the master saw through the Eye of Arlinge that the person who violated the flight regulations was a fourth-level arcanist. He didn't dare to deal with it on his own, so he reported it to me." He decided to use the Holm Crown Ring "Element" after seeing it.
The evil magic circle teleported over.
"Urisian? A genius arcanist of the electromagnetic system?" Because of his status as a genius in the eyes of others, Lucien was filled with information about this generation of geniuses in the Magic Council by friends such as Lazar and Rock. Yurisian
This fourth-level arcanist almost won the Silver Moon Medal for his discovery of the photoelectric induction phenomenon, but he was a strange fighting maniac and applied to join the Battle Mage Department and the Punishment Department.
Yurisian smiled at himself: "Mr. Evans, how dare I call you a genius? In the minds of most young magicians, there are only two true geniuses of this generation, and one of them has won the Immortal Throne Award twice.
, Mr. Felipe, who won the Holm Crown Award and was promoted to a high level, one is you, Mr. Evans. I have to say that your appearance has raised the 'evaluation standards' for geniuses.
The highest symbol of honor is not the same as a real genius. So I, Rachel, Arthur, Samantha, Larry and others have unfortunately become ordinary magicians."
He expressed his respect for Lucien tactfully with humorous words, and he was a very eloquent magician.
After exchanging a few words, Yurisian used the black scepter badge to activate the Aringe magic circle and disappeared.
Lucien looked at the penalty slip in his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Now I have sixty arcane points a month as a subsidy, which can barely cover the expenses of daily life, experiments and medicines, but if you want to be like the second to third rings,
There are enough potions every month, so there is nothing we can do about spending money on magic materials."
"Suddenly I regretted why I had to get the purification magic circle, otherwise I would have had the first monthly annuity payment starting in July. According to the current promotion and sales of Holm Minerals and Harvest Company, there should be no monthly payment in the first few years.
Hundreds of gold thalers, once it is fully promoted in these countries, it is not impossible to get 5,000, 6,000, or even 10,000 gold thalers per month, which is equivalent to a high-level magician."
Putting away the penalty note, Lucien descended slowly while looking towards the darkness to the west: "Natasha, John, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, Teacher Victor, Elena, Phyllis... I really want to find them
I’ll have a chance to go back and see them…”
When Lucien slowly descended to the second floor of the villa, a window opened with a creak. Leia and Heidi rubbed their eyes and looked out the window. They were too tired and couldn't sleep, and they wanted to see
Look at the beautiful night sky and recall the stories my mother told me in the past.
Far away from their hometown and relatives, they came to Arlinge to study magic. Apart from the heavy homework and spell-casting exercises, the feeling of longing could not be resolved. They were not like Lucien who could still communicate with Natasha of Alto.
"Huh, Mr. Evans?" As soon as Heidi opened the window, she saw Lucien floating next to him, who was about to return to the meditation room.
Lucien smiled and said: "Good evening, Heidi, Leylia. Why, can't you sleep? Do you want to do a set of arcane exercises?"
The eyes of the two little girls who were in a daze suddenly widened and they couldn't help but take a step back. They laughed dryly and said: "Actually, we are here to close the windows, otherwise it will be too cold to sleep. Mr. Evans, happy New Year. I hope you are here.
I can become an intermediate magician in the new year!"
After perfunctory Lucien with words of blessing, Heidi and Leylia slammed the window together, but after two seconds, the window opened again with a clang. Two pink and slightly freckled little faces were up and down.
They lined up and stared at Lucien, staring at his feet that were not stepping on anything:
"Mr. Evans, you, you have become an intermediate magician? Have we been sleeping for a year?!"
…………
After two weeks, Lucien constructed "Lucien's Infrared Eyes" and "Maskelin's Star" in his soul, the three-ring unique magic in the "Book of Astrology and Elements", which stabilized
With his own strength, he went to the Arlinge Magic Tower to change the magician badge.
So far, Lucien has constructed a total of twenty-seven first-ring magics, sixteen second-ring magics, and five third-ring magics in his soul. This is 20% more than the ordinary three-ring magician who has just advanced.
The most different thing is that, except for flying, Lucien's other four three-ring magics are all unique magics!
In the Magician Management Department, Eric's stiff face still had that suspicious smile. He stretched out his hand and said: "Congratulations, Evans, you have been promoted to the third ring in just one year. You are worthy of the name of a genius.
Even with the help of magic potions, it means that you have very solid abilities in mathematics and physics. Generally speaking, at this time, a high-level magician or archmage will accept you as a student."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Eric. But it's not certain. At least except for astrology and elements, I haven't determined the other directions." Lucien shook hands with Eric, and then handed over the magician badge.
passed.
Eric looked at Lucien's magician badge and reminded: "Evans, you have been promoted to the intermediate level. The magic badge can have a constant magic effect. What do you want?"
"Mr. Eric, can you choose other rewards instead of constant magic effects?" Lucien had the "Element" ring, and he didn't value the constant magic effects on this mid-level badge, so he asked directly.
.
This situation is often encountered by arcanists who have good magic items, so Eric was not surprised and asked in a formal manner: "Evans, what reward do you want? It cannot exceed the value of a constant ordinary magic effect."
"Mr. Eric, I want a super magic skill to increase the distance of spells." Lucien has already thought of the answer. This super magic skill is used in conjunction with "Lucien's Big Fire Ball", although it consumes mental power.
will be doubled, but will offset the instability of this magic.
The Magic Council has inherited and developed a variety of metamagic techniques, including "silent spell casting" that Lucien knows but is not systematic about, "spell prompting" that can offset the spell casting buffer, and "spell powerful" that increases the power of magic.
There are "spell maximum effects" that give full play to magic effects, and there are "spell range enhancements" that increase spell distance and range, etc.
These metamagic skills must have a certain level of arcanist or magician before they can be exchanged, and they are expensive. The "spell range increase" that Lucien currently wants to learn is the cheapest one among them.
Eric calculated it: "The basic value is the same, but Evans, you may have to compensate for ten to fifty arcane points."
"No problem." Lucien felt like his heart was bleeding. He had just paid the fine and only had thirty-one arcane points left in his body. Moreover, he sold the cold iron dagger that he no longer needed a few months ago.
If you drop it and wait for it to be insufficient, you can only sell the Dagger of Enfeeblement.
The magic badge and the instruction document written by Eric were put into the magic iron cage. As the bell rang, the bright silver lighted up and disappeared.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the bell rang loudly and the silver light lit up again. When everything calmed down, a silver-backed black ring badge and a rolled-up thick parchment appeared in the magic iron cage.
Eric picked up the badge and sensed it, his expression became slightly weird: "Evans, a total of thirty arcane points have been deducted from you. At the same time, you have been given a mandatory task."
Lucien has entered the intermediate level in both arcana and magic, so he naturally has to accept a mandatory task from the council every year, and it happens to be the new year.
"Mission?" Lucien was surprised that he received the mission just two weeks after being promoted. So while receiving the magic badge and the parchment with the "Spell Distance Enhancement" super magic skill written on it, Lucien felt confused and sensed the magic badge inside.
information.
"Evil Demon Mission (Easy Level): Deep in the Karpas Mountains in Karpas County, Holm Kingdom, a three-ring magician failed to summon low-level demons with his spell. He was struck and died, and several low-level demons died.
The devil has occupied his castle. Please work with other magicians who have accepted the task to clear them out. Completing the task will reward you with fifty arcane points."
