Chapter 12 The Strongest Magic Apprentice in History
The drinking buddy chuckled but did not respond immediately.
He bent down to pick up the journal on the ground, turned back a few pages, and found the improved "Illumination" spell.
"Look, Fatty Sam, this is a miracle created for us by Alan York, the most powerful magic apprentice in history! I will demonstrate it to you right away! I just hope your teeth are strong enough to be able to chew the wine jar later."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the journal and recited the mantra in a low voice.
Soon, a ball of silver light appeared in front of the two of them, bright but not dazzling, like stars falling into the world, illuminating the entire wine cellar and also illuminating the greasy faces of the two.
Sam Wall finally wakes up.
He looked at the silver light group and then at the radiant drinking companions, feeling that what he saw in front of him was unbelievable.
"Damn it, I'm not dreaming!"
He stood up suddenly, threw the wine jar aside, and pinched himself hard.
In the dreamlike silver light, he couldn't help but think of his aging mother who was waiting at home, of his wasted youth for many years, and of the supernatural power that was once far away but now within his reach, making his nose feel slightly sour and his eyes moist.
He sniffed and held back his tears.
As a grown man, he really didn't want to cry in front of his drinking buddies.
"Brother, you are not dreaming," a few seconds later, the drinking buddy retracted the spell with a smile, "You said you were going to chew the wine can, but don't go back on it!"
Hearing this, Sam Wall looked embarrassed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide.
Drinking makes things worse! Drinking makes things worse!
…………
Sam Wall is just an insignificant epitome of many magic apprentices.
In fact, a few hours after the latest issue of "Peeping into Secrets" magazine was published, all the magic apprentices in the Mage Tower entered a state of carnival.
Many of them have been in the magic apprenticeship stage for many years, and they look at the extraordinary power in the hands of magicians with envy every day, thinking about it day and night, but never getting what they want.
Therefore, when they saw the illumination spell in the journal "Peeping Secrets", they all burst into tears and were filled with emotion.
They recited the improved illumination spell with trembling voices and watched with blurred vision as clusters of bright lights appeared in front of them.
Then it gradually rose and became more dazzling.
For a time, hundreds of light clusters were like stars filling the sky, illuminating the mage tower and awakening the hope in their hearts.
"Starting today, we can finally proudly say that we are different and that we can use magic."
Looking at the beautiful stars in front of them, the magic apprentices thought in unison.
Although what Allen designed was just a trivial "illumination technique", the little bits of light were enough to rekindle the passion for magic in their hearts.
They regarded Alan York as the benefactor who changed their destiny, a genius who could not be seen in a century, and the idol of magic apprentices. They couldn't wait to see him and say "thank you" to him personally.
"Is Alan York a student of our Mage Tower?" At this moment, someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's not," the other person replied, "I heard from my instructor that he hasn't been admitted yet!"
"You can design your own spell before entering the mage tower? Are you kidding me?"
"Oh, of course this is not a joke! My idol can do anything!"
"If the idol is so powerful, he must be very handsome! When he comes to the Mage Tower, I will definitely go to him and ask for his autograph!"
"What if he looks ugly?"
"impossible!"
"What if?"
"No matter how ugly I am, I'm still prettier than you!"
"Alan York is so powerful now, maybe he can surpass Mr. Mullins in the future!"
"Hey! Can you call my idol's name directly?"
"..."
…………
The official magicians' attitude towards this is much more complicated.
With curiosity, they bought the latest issue of "Peeping into the Secret" magazine, and couldn't wait to turn to the legendary five-star evaluation paper to see who the author was.
Then they were surprised to find that the author of this revolutionary paper on magic research was just a magic apprentice!
"Today's magic apprentices are so terrifying! It's really hard to live!"
They beat their chests and beat their feet, feeling ashamed to see others.
Think about it, they have been studying magic for many years, how much hair they have lost, how many bitter tears they have shed, but in the end, they are not as good as a young man who has just come into contact with magic!
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
…………
As for reviewer Caroline, after reading Allen's paper, her thoughts have been stirring.
Talent is discovered by her.
Because of this, she wanted to take Alan as her student before other magicians.
"Alan will not refuse me," Caroline secretly assessed in her mind, "No one would refuse the olive branch extended by the Mage Tower.
"Besides, I am a sixth-level magician and a thesis examiner, and I am somewhat famous in the Mage Tower.
"If I can teach a mage who is as accomplished as Merlins, my colleagues will definitely look at me differently!"
Thinking of this, she confidently picked up a pen and paper and prepared to write an invitation letter to Allen.
However, at this moment, Mr. Merlins, the master of the Mage Tower and the chairman of the Mage Association, suddenly intervened and broke Mage Caroline's little calculation.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Caroline, such a good seedling, I want to teach him personally," Mr. Mullins said. "Only with me can he develop his full potential."
Hearing this, Master Caroline shook her head helplessly and decisively gave up her previous idea.
Steal students from the tower owner?
Please, she doesn't have the guts.
However, a few days later, Merlins seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter, not mentioning Alan York, let alone recruiting him to the Mage Tower.
Merlins didn't say anything, and no one else dared to ask.
Therefore, even if Allen complained countless times about "stingy Mage Tower" in his heart, he still didn't get the admission notice he wanted.
…………
The Master's Tower is turbulent, but the University of Cambridge remains calm.
Although Allen is well-known in the Mage Tower, he remains extremely low-key in the university.
Classroom, dining room, dormitory, three points and one line are his daily life.
In addition to preparing for the final exam, he spent almost all his time on magic research
On the one hand, try to rely on the methods in "Spell Modeling" to construct more spells that can be realized with mental power;
On the other hand, he tried to read a large number of magic books left by the original owner of the body, trying to discover the secret of the black crystal stone.
By the way, since the day Allen submitted his paper to the Mage Tower, he was also surprised to find some indescribable changes in the black spar.
It seems to be drawing strength from the outside world and growing stronger.
Those powers are mixed with many emotions: worship, gratitude, admiration...
And many blurry scenes: nearly a hundred magic apprentices reciting spells and lighting up the stars in the sky together...
It's like a long stream of water, gurgling.
Allen didn't know what this power was.
But somewhere he could feel that with this power, he could become stronger and very strong.

ps: The contract has been sent to the starting point. Although the status has not changed yet, as promised to everyone before, two updates will start today, and there will be another chapter at 12:00 noon.
However, I recently looked at the author’s backend data and found that people prefer reading during the day (Sudong is a night owl). So starting from tomorrow (5.15), we will adjust the update time to 12:00 noon and 8:00 pm. It’s better for everyone to go early.
Rest, don't stay up late like me.
Well, since there are two updates... Would you like some recommendation votes? By the way, please ask the book list boss to include it!
