Chapter 83: Conditions and Cultivation

The metal door closed behind the boy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The light dimmed, and there were faint lighting crystals on the walls on either side pointing out the direction of the corridor, and Maureen walked forward, and soon saw the door at the endβ€”a glimmer of light shining through the crack in the door, outlining the rectangular outline very clearly.

It wasn't until the boy walked to the door that he found that it was the most ordinary wooden door, with only simple carvings carved on the surface.

Professor Anna had only said that if the metal door was pushed open, it would be the master who was willing to teach him, but he didn't mention what happened after entering, Merlin stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked on the door with the most standard aristocratic etiquette, "Knock knock".

There was no response, and Morin didn't dare to mess around, so he stood quietly in front of the door.

For a moment silence came, and the boy gradually heard his own breathing.

Then a voice rang in his ear.

The voice seemed to come from behind the door, not loud, but the boy could hear it quite clearly.

He had expected it to be a rather old voice, after all, Professor Anna said that he was a master of magic, and that he wouldn't be too young in the future.

But what he heard was a young man's voice.

"You're Pike's son?"

"Little Pike, Daddy Pike? This master still knows Daddy Pike. Mo Lin was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and made a junior salute very respectfully: "May I ask who you are?"

"Don't care who I am, call grandpa to come. The man said.

The young man's face darkened, why did he come up and call grandpa, who are you all the time, it doesn't sound much older than me, and suddenly, the image of this "master" in the young man's mind was broken by half.

Seeing the young man's hesitation, the voice said, "My name is Ed Warlund, and you must have heard of my famous name, okay, call my grandfather to listen." ”

Mo Lin was stunned again, he hadn't heard of it...... But Ed's name sounds similar to Uncle Eddard, the butler of Port Harriet, and it is said that Ed was given the name by his grandfather?

Thinking that this "master" seems to be extremely face-saving, the boy is embarrassed to show it, and besides, Daddy Pike often teaches himself to be flexible and in a hurry, and Teacher Anna will never harm himself.

Thinking of this, he cried out, "It's your old man!

"Wowha, it's so refreshing to listen to!" I just heard the young voice laugh and said: "Not bad, yes, the child can be taught, I haven't been so cool for many years, wahahaha......"

After laughing, he seemed to calm down a little, and let out a slow, long sigh: "Whew...... It's so easy to put down......"

"How's it going, is that old Andre thing okay?"

Andrey's name is familiar...... The young man was stunned, and remembered that Andre was his grandfather's name, and he usually called his grandfather but didn't react for a while. It sounds like this "master" is the same generation as his grandfather, good boy, then he can't afford to mess with him, this "grandfather" account should be calculated by grandfather and his old man, no, don't tell grandfather, lest he get angry and tear me down......

"Grandpa went away two years ago and hasn't returned, and there's no news coming back, but Daddy Pike has never worried about Grandpa, and thinks he's coming to his old man's house to do something out there. "Since he knew his grandfather, he must be his own person, and Morin did not shy away from telling the truth.

"He's still alive, it's a good man who doesn't live long and will leave a thousand years of scourge, cough, what about little Pike, what's going on?" the young voice sighed in an exaggerated tone, but there was no malice.

"Papa Pike has been staying at home, he's a baron from Port Harriet, and he usually has a lot of big and small things. Maureen replied.

"Oh, Baron of Lothar......" Ed chuckled contemptuously, seeming to disdain the identity.

Morin said unconvinced: "Regardless of Daddy's other aspects, but in terms of governing the territory, Port Harriet and the surrounding villages and towns are the safest in the entire southern territory of Lothar. ”

"Oh, they didn't tell you much like that, forget it, let's talk about something else. Ed's voice came, "Boy, you can't use magic cards?"

Mo Lin nodded, thinking that the other party was behind the door, and hurriedly replied: "Yes." ”

"Is it because you can't draw magic from the sea of magic?"

"That's what Professor Wang Del said," Merlin recalls Wang Del's inference that day, "he said that because the magic card has a resonance structure with the Sea of Mana, I can't connect to the Sea of Mana, so I can't activate the spell model." ”

"That old profiteer Wang Del still has some knowledge anyway, but maybe you can also get some benefits from it, it's hard to say. Ed said.

Merlin was stunned for a moment, could it be that Master Ed actually knew about things like small puddles of magic power, but no matter how you look at it, this is not a "blessing", and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean ......?"

"In some areas of production, I'm not sure, but I'll have to go through more specific inspections to find out, and I'm just ...... Recovery, it's not very convenient. Ed's voice came, "Anna said you want to learn magic?"

"Yes, I wonder if you can teach me. Maureen replied.

"It's certainly okay to teach you, but there are a few conditions. Ed said leisurely.

"On what terms?"

"Here are four things: First, I can't leave here for a while, and you can't tell anyone that you've been here, let alone mention me to anyone else. ”

"And Professor Anna?" asked Morin, uncertain.

"Of course she knows what's going on with her magic tower!" Ed said angrily, "It's better to hit a tree for such a stupid question!"

The young man hurriedly shut up, thinking that he was worthy of being a person of his grandfather's generation, and this temper seemed to be similar......

"Article 2: I see that you have reached the second level, you will definitely be able to advance to the second grade, and there will be a course 'Introduction to Magic Card Making' in the next school year, and you have to obediently give me an elective. ”

I can't even use magic cards, and I still want to learn how to make them, the young man muttered in his heart, but thinking about the situation just now, he didn't dare to object, and quickly nodded: "No problem." ”

"Article 3: There is an old saying, one day is a teacher and a father is life, how to say that I am also your elder, if there is anything you need to help in the future, you can't shirk it. Ed said this slowly, and seemed to take this one very seriously.

Maureen thought about it, and seemed to have no problem, so he agreed again.

"What about the fourth?"

"Fourth, and finally, you have to call Aunt Alice on a formal occasion......"

"You'll have to call Aunt Alice ......"

"Call Aunt Alice......"

"Auntie......"

The boy was speechless, only feeling that this harsh salutation echoed in his ears for a long time.

Calculate the seniority, and then think about what Ed called Professor Anna before, Maureen can figure it out, you are always Alice's father, you are also a master, and you are so dead in a generation.

In Toddell, although the etiquette between many nobles attaches great importance to things like blood lineage, but this phenomenon rarely exists among professionals, you think, those powerful professionals live hundreds of years younger is not trivial, if you choose to raise children later, it will not be immediately several generations away, so they are generally paid separately.

Wanting to call Aunt Alice in front of the other classmates, Morin only thought that it would be better to hit the tree.

"That...... What is a formal occasion?" the boy asked cautiously.

"I don't even know about formal occasions?!, did your father teach you aristocratic etiquette?!" the voice grumbled exaggeratedly.

"Ahem...... Even if I wanted to scream, maybe Alice wouldn't be happy......" Merlin made an excuse.

"It's her business whether she's happy or not, it's your business whether you call it or not, she's your aunt and not your grandfather, and she can still control what you say?!" Master Ed said angrily.

Morin only felt that this irrefutable word was like Barron's hammer, and it was hammered on his head, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, which inexplicably had an extra aunt come out, and it was safer to go to the library to flip through the books if something happened in the future, "Okay, but only on formal occasions." ”

"Okay, then I'll take you as a student, now come in. Ed said.

Maureen let out a sigh of relief,

The door opened, and the light of holiness poured out of it, and the boy felt his body fall forward involuntarily.

He fell through the door and fell downward, surrounded by endless light.

I thought I was going to fall forever, but a hand grabbed him by the collar from behind and pulled him back from the light.

Merlin was stunned for a moment, and then he returned to the passage, and he turned his head to see that it was Professor Anna who was holding him by the back collar with her right hand, her arm a little stiff, and the brim of her hat was very low, and her face was completely unclear in the gloomy environment.

"Hey, but you said I was going to teach him, and he was not done yet...... 's voice called out Ed's voice.

Anna Goo glanced at the glowing door, and Ed's voice was as hoarse as if deflated.

"I have some accounts to settle with him, you go back first, and come back to class next week," Anna Goo said, waving her hand and nudging Maureen.

"Ahh

There seemed to be Ed's voice in his ears, and Merlin had been sent to the door of the magic tower.

"Flash Analysis", Morin recited silently, he walked to the cliff, jumped slightly, and fell quickly along the air passage, and after a while, his figure disappeared into the vast night.

……

……

To Morin's surprise, the book "Analysis of Flashing Techniques" is rare and amazing.

On Monday afternoon, Morin borrowed this book from the library, which was also the first magic book he borrowed, magic books are different from ordinary books, more similar to magic image stones, you can record a lot of content in thin magic pages, don't look at this metal book jacket wrapped in "Flash Analysis" is less than two centimeters thick, but if you use ordinary paper to record, I am afraid it will fill a whole row of bookshelves.

Because he didn't know how to cultivate magic power yet, and his mental power was not very stable, the boy didn't dare to use his special memory ability for the time being, but turned through the pages like others, and each page took a lot of time, from Monday to Saturday, he hadn't been able to finish half of it.

Flash is already the most basic zero ring magic, but its spell model is probably full of hundreds of pages if it is described in ordinary paper records, not to mention that this book also records the source and history of the magic of flash, the boy saw that in thousands of years, there are more than seventy records of the improvement of this spell model, each record details the reason and effect of the improvement, the name of the improver, and the pure model analysis and derivation.

For example, in the fifty-seventh modification, the improver xxx has increased the luminosity intensity of one unit (about one percent) while consuming the same mana, and the model is analytically derived as follows......

Magic analysis is a course that is only taught in the second grade, and at this time, the boy can't understand those analysis and derivation at all, so he casually flips through it and skips it.

This week, Emino and Marcus have completed their homework to pass the potion class, and Merlin and Barron still haven't succeeded, although Morin's potion made the bucktooth rabbit's wound heal, but the rabbit went crazy and screamed for most of the afternoon, Faith said that this was caused by the high temperature during the distillation step, and Barron's potion made the bucktooth rabbit purple, and Faith guessed that the reason was probably that the purification was not meticulous enough.

When she was pushed out of the magic tower by Professor Anna that night, Morin faintly felt that her mood was a little abnormal, and she carefully observed it for a long time in the history of magic on Monday, and found that her expression had not changed from the past, if there was any, her eyes seemed to be slightly softer, and I don't know if it was a teenager's illusion.

In Friday's basic meditation class, Wang Del gave each of the class a magic rune, similar to the pentagram communication rune, which turned into a small symbol attached to the hand, and the students could use this rune to replenish the magic power of the magic crystal card, with a conversion efficiency of about 60%, and the speed was not too fast.

After everyone successfully came into contact with the sea of magic, Professor Goatee began to teach everyone how to increase the mana capacity of the body in the meditation class: first consume the mana, such as using magic or transferring the mana into crystal cards, and at the same time draw mana from the sea of magic and let it flow through their body, in this form to wash their body and increase the mana affinity and mana capacity.

This cultivation method is also considered the most basic way for professionals to make money: absorb mana from the sea of mana, and then store it in the mana crystal card, which can be used as currency.

In addition, there is another law, the first law of mana: only professionals of the order race (those who have come into contact with the sea of magic) can transfer mana from the sea of magic to the magic crystal card, and there is no other machinery, enchantment or even magic can directly replenish the magic crystal card without going through the professional, which is also the reason why the price of mana is relatively stable.

In the beginning, there were many people who wanted to study how to draw magic directly from the sea of magic through magic machines, and if they succeeded, they could build machines that never stopped, but after many years of research, there were no results, and the Sky Ring no longer accepted research reports in this area, and proposed this first law of magic.

As for Morin, Wang Del handed him an additional rune, which is said to have been commissioned by Professor Anna to help Bland, which can draw magic from the magic crystal card into his body. According to Wang De, Mo Lin needs to hold a crystal card in one hand and replenish the magic power of another crystal card while absorbing magic power, so as to simulate other people's cultivation.

No wonder Brand said that cultivation was expensive.

Others can practice magic power by the way to the magic crystal card to recharge, earn extra money, your own cultivation of magic power has to be drawn from the crystal card, because of the conversion efficiency, the magic in a crystal card is poured like this at most forty percent, not only can not earn extra money, but also have to paste it yourself.

Fortunately, the boy still has a small puddle of magic power, and he can send the magic power to the small puddle of magic while absorbing the magic power, which can be regarded as saving the consumption of a conversion, and can save two percent of the magic power, and although the small puddle is small, it is not something that the teenager can fill for a while, so you can rest assured that you can pour it in. But in the foreseeable future, with the improvement of one's own level, this consumption will be faster, for example, now only need a second-order crystal card, and in the future, you may need a fourth-order crystal card, and you will lose dozens of gold coins once you turn it around.

Under the expensive cost of cultivation, the boy had to start thinking about how to make money.

It's not a way to rely on Daddy Pike, and the taxes of the entire barony don't have much gold in a year, Merlin thought, he has to learn something to make money quickly, otherwise he will become a poor egg in a few days after cultivating like this.

And on weekend mornings, in the library, he was looking for Ed Warlund's information while reading Elonot's "Illuvita College Student Money Guide", although he couldn't be mentioned to others, but the teenager could not violate those conditions when he consulted books by himself, he was still quite curious about this mysterious Alice's father, his future teacher, after all, Professor Anna said that he was a master, and he thought that he could find some fame in books.

But the information that the boy found surprised him.

A brief record reads: Ed Warlund, known as the youngest master of magic card making ever in Todder's history, died in the Battle of the Blood Moon at the age of 179 in the year 820 of the Quaternary Age.
