In the magic laboratory of the Mage Tower, Merlin was studying a notebook and several books on compound magic, and next to her, an undead warrior was wielding a great sword.

"How do you combine the two spells?" Merlin muttered to herself over and over again.

Probably annoyed by her chatter, the undead warrior (Augustus's doppelganger) said impatiently: "Spells are spells, they are already together, why should you be separated." ”

After saying that, he continued to practice his sword.

"But ......"

"No, but, think for yourself, don't talk about it anymore and affect my sword practice. ”

Augustus said impatiently.

"You ......"

Merlin wanted to say something more, but when she thought that she was comparing herself with a spirit, she felt very bored, and she couldn't help but swallow back what she was about to say.

It's harder to get an answer that you don't know than not to know the answer.

Merlin stood in the middle of the room, her brow furrowed and furrowed...... Half an hour later, a blue-purple Thor's chain appeared in her hand.

Unlike the energy body, this Thor's chain is substantial, and it is so quietly held in Merlin's hands.

"Success!

She happily held up the solid Thor Chain in her hand and shouted at Augustus.

"You really succeeded?"

When Augustus heard Merlin's cry, he immediately ran over.

"Look, am I going to lie to you?"

Merlin triumphantly threw the Thor Chain in her hand towards Augustus.

"Damn!

Augustus, who was in the body of the undead, panicked at first, but after catching the chains, he was suddenly stunned: "How did you do it?"

"It's very simple, as long as the energy fluctuation is controlled at a certain frequency, find the smoothest fluctuation frequency, so that the spell will not diverge. ”

Merlin angrily took back the Thor Chain from Augustus' hand and shook a few whiplashes.

The compound spell can only be regarded as a preliminary effect, Merlin was about to continue her research, and the servant reported that Mage Raymond, who had just returned from the front, asked for a meeting, and Merlin had to end the practice and come down to receive the guests.

Seeing Raymond's mage improve well, Merlin felt that the other party had come out of the exhaustion of the battle, which made her worry disappear all at once.

"Mage Snorr, excuse me. "Master Raymond sensed the unsettled mana fluctuations in Merlin's body, and knew that he might have affected the other party's practice.

"Welcome, Master Raymond. Merlin smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care about it, "You look much better now than you did yesterday, um!

"Huh!"

Master Raymond knew Merlin's way of speaking, so he wasn't embarrassed by her directness, and he smiled and asked, "Let's go to the tavern in a moment! ”

After speaking, he added: "If you have something to do, then I will go alone." ”

Merlin thought for a moment, she didn't want to go to the tavern now, she wanted to keep in mind some of the knowledge she heard today and the experience she had gained in practice just now, and then ponder it carefully, so she smiled apologetically: "I'm very sorry, Master Raymond, I don't think I have time to go to the tavern for some time today and now, because I have more important things to do." ”

Looking at Master Raymond's puzzled expression, Merlin sorted out her thoughts, told him what happened today, and finally laughed self-deprecatingly, "Isn't it ironic to exchange your life for the opportunity to fight on the battlefield again?"

"No, if it were me, I would only be happy. As you said before, we've become a mage, and we're always going to battle, and it's normal to die! Every mage is willing to do that. ”

Master Raymond said disapprovingly, "Being able to be guided by a fifth-level mage for a period of time is something that all low-level mages have been longing for for a long time. After all, there aren't many opportunities like this, and I can't say that after getting the other party's guidance, I can have a chance to be promoted!" Mage Raymond suddenly muttered a little sadly.

After a few more conversations about what Merlin had just said, Master Raymond took his leave, knowing that what Merlin needed most now was to calm down and figure out what the Master had to say.

After Master Raymond left, Merlin continued to take notes. Once she had finished recording, she continued back to the spell lab to practice her spells......

The next day, after having breakfast, Merlin went to the building she had been to the previous day. There weren't too many mages inside, but Mei Lin found that these mages were all looking at the fifth-level mage sitting behind the table with expectant expressions, waiting for him to signal, and ready to ask some questions about their cultivation. It seems that yesterday's answer was of great help to these third-level mages.

After the normal teaching session, the fifth-level mage motioned for everyone to start asking questions, and then slowly answered. Merlin memorized the questions and answers compulsorily, sometimes quickly jogging them down with a quill on a makeshift piece of paper to prevent omissions.

That night, when Merlin returned in the evening, she found Master Raymond waiting at the door of the Wizard's Tower...... Merlin hurriedly invited him to the mage tower.

"Master Snow, can I transcribe some of your notes for the past two days? I know it's excessive, but I ......," Raymond asked with some trepidation.

"Don't say that, Master Raymond. Merlin quickly interrupted him, "We're friends, and these records aren't alone. Of course, you don't want to transcribe the part that involves personal privacy. Merlin rarely opened a little humor, "It's just for me." ”

"Thank you!" Mage Raymond looked at Merlin excitedly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He had made a reluctant choice after feeling that he had no hope of getting guidance from a high-level mage. He knew that everything he had copied from Merlin was bought by the other party in exchange for his life. The other party just let him transcribe without any compensation, which made him feel a little embarrassed, "Master Snorr, I'...... I'll pay you enough, pay you the price of a level 3 spell for each question, and ...... more."

"Enough. ”

Merlin shook her head slightly, and loudly stopped Master Raymond, "Don't talk about this, after all, we are friends, and you have always taken good care of me. Especially in this war of unknown life and death, we don't know what tomorrow will bring. If you think I'm your friend, don't ask for any more pay. ”

Master Raymond turned his head in shame, muffled his apology, and thanked Merlin again for her generosity.
