Chapter Twenty-Four: The Magic Apprentice


After reading this article recorded by the witch in an excited and trembling state, Lucien also felt an indescribable shock, in fact, after crossing over and discovering that this is a world of magic and magic, he also had some of these doubts, but he quickly forgot because he had too little knowledge and too little understanding of magic.

Now, this majestic ten questions that directly point to the origin and rules of the world make Lucien believe that if he can understand these questions, he should be able to penetrate the reality of the world, understand why he can cross over, and find a way to go back.

"This great arcanist named Douglas, even if he hasn't completely figured out any of these ten questions, as long as he makes some progress in his research on these issues, then his strength will definitely be extremely strong, comparable to the ancient legendary magicians mentioned at the beginning of his article."

"There are arcane journals, there are strange magicians that witches have encountered, and it seems that there are indeed places in this world where you can learn magic in relative safety, but it seems a little strange, and even the journals have appeared."

"In the world of magicians, what strength and status does the Grand Arcanist represent?"

Lucien thought a lot of things from the witch's diary and this article, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he longed to meet the strange magician immediately, go to a place where he could safely learn magic, and when he reached a certain level of strength, he would return to Aalto and secretly help John's family.

Among them, the two questions that Lucien is most excited about, most anticipated and most puzzled are: "Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements, and if so, in what form and what laws do they form such a wonderful world, then what are they magical elements, and what should they be?"

"Why there are suns and silver moons in this world, why they rise and set every day, what are the forces that make them maintain this seemingly normal operation of the material world, if we ask more why, we will find that we still don't understand the truth, whether these truths, laws and knowledge are related to magic, whether they can be combined with magic, and whether they can help us explore the nature of the magical world."

In Lucian's view, if the first question is indeed not the basic element of earth, fire, feng shui, and the answer to the second question is to be able to apply and combine the laws of the material world into magic, it means that the main knowledge he has learned in the past ten years and a large part of the knowledge in the library can come in handy when he learns and uses magic.

If it can be used, how useful can this knowledge be, Lucien has not yet been deeply involved in the world of magicians at this time, so he can only secretly speculate: "At least I have seen things similar to silver, copper, and iron for this period of time, and it is very likely that there are really elements, and in addition to magic and magic, every move in daily life has not yet violated the laws of physics." ” "But once you add spiritual power, souls, strange and powerful magical creatures, etc., this world gives me a paradoxical feeling with the earth."

A thought suddenly flashed in Lucien's heart: "From this point of view, the reason why the part of the book in the library cannot be opened may not be what I guessed before, it is very doubtful." ” After a long time of excitement and various thoughts kept popping up, Lucien gradually calmed down, and he had matured a lot, and he understood that the most important thing at present was to learn magic steadily, and he must not unrealistically dream and chase things that cannot be confirmed yet.

No matter what world you are in, being down-to-earth is a quality worth having.

Reining his thoughts, Lucien flipped to the last page of the witch's notes: "After meditation and experimentation, I often think of him.

A man of great learning and elegant conversation, always charming. ” "He told me that he had come to Aalto on some big, secret mission, and if all went well, he might be able to take me out in a few months and go to the Continental's Magic Council headquarters, a magician's paradise."

"Tonight, he asked me to meet at the cemetery in Adjan."

At this point, the witch's magical notes came to an abrupt end, and the trail was blank parchment, apparently that she and her magician friend had been ambushed by the Church's Night's Watch.

"I don't know if that magician escaped" Lucian thought a little worriedly, he was the only clue he had found the "Continent Magic Council" so far, and he didn't know where to start with the other legendary magicians hidden in Alto.

With a few long breaths, Lucien cleared all the starry thoughts from his mind and restored his mind to a clear, serene state, ready to try meditation to see if he could learn magic.

According to the notes in the magic note, Lucien maintained a soft, long rhythm of breathing, allowing the spirit to diverge, and then slowly retract, and then slowly retract, and then slowly retract, until it entered a state of almost ethereal, blank space.

According to the witch's own experience, she was identified as having magical talent and good mental power since she was a child, and she began to try meditation for the first time, but it took two years to enter this ethereal, blank state, and her mental power increased to the level of "apprentice magic apprentice" who could sense the surrounding magical elements in this ethereal state, and another year passed.

However, after becoming a trainee magic apprentice, before advancing to a full-fledged magician, there is basically no obstacle in the cultivation of mental power, and you can temper your spiritual power and soul step by step according to the meditation method to a strength sufficient to build a spell imprint model, the difficulty is only how long it takes.

The witch began to learn meditation at the age of ten, became a trainee magic apprentice at the age of thirteen, and by the age of fourteen, she had crossed the threshold of a formal magic apprenticeship and became a high-level magic apprentice, and she was very satisfied with her mental talent.

But then, because she was not good at analyzing the structure of magic and building a model of the imprint, she had to try to increase her mental power to the level of a formal magician, so as to forcibly construct it, but unfortunately the apprentice-level meditation method, at this stage, the effect was already very poor, and the witch was unable to achieve her goal for a long time, so she hit the idea on a rare magic potion "Magic Gate", wanting to use the spiritual power stronger than most high-level magic apprentices to cooperate with this magic potion to directly promote.

Originally, after reading the witch's records, Lucian was slightly disappointed, feeling that he could not rely on magic to deal with the possible revenge of the gang in a short period of time, but Victor, as Aalto's famous, often invited by nobles, wandered in high society, after he became his official student, in the absence of more value, except for the kind of desperate guys, most of the gang members should not harass themselves anymore.

Of course, Lucien also had a vague expectation in his heart, because Lucien had already noticed that his mental power had made a great breakthrough after the incident in the sewers, and he could even vaguely sense that someone was following him, so that the time for becoming a trainee magic apprentice could be shortened to a few months, or weeks.

But the actual situation was completely unexpected by Lucian.

Because after Lucien radiated the spiritual power that spread like water waves and retracted it a few times, he found that he had smoothly entered that blank and ethereal state, and the first meditation took less than thirty seconds to succeed Maintaining this meditative state, Lucien tried to extend his spiritual power.

Everything around you is completely different from what you see, full of calm and heavy power, manic power, light and loose power, soft and continuous power.

"These are the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, and my spiritual power has reached the level of a magic apprentice," Lucien was so surprised that he almost couldn't keep his meditation state, "No wonder you can succeed in the first meditation, but that's the harvest of life and death."

I'm kind of a magic apprentice now."

Knowing why, Lucien calmed down happily, and it might not be long before he could learn his first informal magic "It's just that the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water feel closer to the state of force."

Before Lucien was ready to follow the apprentice-level elemental meditation method on the Book of Astrology and Elements and borrow earth, fire, feng shui, and temper his soul and spiritual power, he unconsciously had this question in his heart, and then thought of Douglas's question, Lucien began to doubt, "Perhaps, this is the four basic forces of the universe, gravitational force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force, but the latter three are not different manifestations of a force."

Although he is not a physics student, Lucien has vaguely heard popular science that weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force seem to have been unified by a certain theory, and they are different manifestations of the same force.

As soon as he had this thought in his heart, Lucien immediately found that the surrounding world felt by his spiritual power had changed again, there was an extra starry sky above his head, dark and bright, each star was like a small point of light, flickering non-stop, and they all had an invisible force hanging down to the ground, and the earth also exuded a heavy and calm attraction, in addition, fire, wind, and water did not seem to have changed much, but the originally clear and insurmountable distance between them seemed to have become a little blurred.

Lucien in the meditative state, his emotions were not too intense, but such a change still made him can't help but think: "Could it be that the magical element world sensed by my spiritual power is changed according to my cognition, or gradually improved and clarified?"

However, such a change does not seem to have a direct impact on Lucien's current mental power tempering or magic learning.

"Wait, Starry Sky, that's not a meditation method that can only be used after becoming a high-level magic apprentice" Lucien suddenly thought of another apprentice-level meditation method recorded in the witch's notes.

The Book of Astrology and Elements only listens to the name, and I also know that it focuses on the astrology and the elemental system, of course, there are these two factions of the meditation method, but the apprentice-level meditation method of the astrological system is not stronger than the elemental system in terms of increasing spiritual power and soul, and it is not very useful for witches.

However, as an introductory meditation method of the astrological system, it has an important ability, that is, during the first meditation, it can choose its own "main star of destiny" from the starry sky that it senses, and try to connect with it, and then slowly stabilize it, so that it can be of great help when learning various magic of astrology in the future, and more importantly, without this "main star of destiny", the astrology and other prophetic magic of the astrological system cannot be learned and used.

According to the astral view, each soul corresponds to a star in the vast starry sky, and their fate is reflected in the astrological changes.

If you don't connect to your own destiny master, you can't observe the thread of destiny in the starry sky, and you can't use astrology, etc.

It is precisely because of this that the introductory meditation methods of the astral system must have spiritual power to reach the level of a high-level magic apprentice or have enough knowledge to learn, use, and sense the starry sky, and before that, they will use the meditation methods of other non-contradictory factions to cultivate until they become high-level magic apprentices.

Lucien muttered in his heart: "When does gravity and fate be connected, it seems that many things do not necessarily correspond to previous knowledge or concepts, and of course, it may also be the reason why I can't understand it. ”:
