Chapter Seventy-Four: A Sudden Dilemma
The music box sounds, and Strayer wakes up from his dream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He released a soft glow with the magic card next to his pillow, got up and opened the curtains, and the night was still thick outside, and the bright starry sky fell into the smooth mirror-like lake, which was both real and illusory.
He had dreamed of this day countless times, the day he really became a professional, the day he really had the power of his own.
There was a rare hint of anticipation in Strayer's gaze, and he took a deep breath.
To be calm, he told himself.
Dressed in his most splendid robes, carefully groomed in front of the standing mirror, and holding his wand with the griffon's emblem tattooed, he walked out of the room.
……
As Aeminor held her chin and looked at the constellation of Villasis in a daze, Tilna slowly opened her eyes.
She rarely slept for a long time, and had a rare dream.
She dreamed of the city of machines in the great glacier, her hometown.
She remembered the path shown to her by the elder and prophet of the Veth Spirit, Orion, to Iluvita and become a professional. He also revealed to her how bumpy and difficult the seemingly flower-filled road could actually be, with every inch of the ground covered in blood under the flowers, but she didn't choose to back down.
Just like last night, in the face of those senior "juniors", their various eyes, playful gambling and dazzling odds, she did not flinch.
She won't back down.
……
Alice stretched and leaped from the bed.
She quickly changed her clothes and mischievously patted the sleeping Thea's head, who rolled over and muttered something like Jewel Don't Run.
This kind of opportunity to "offend" the little female dragon is rare, Alice smiled secretly.
She wore a necklace that her father had given her for her tenth birthday, and she has kept it as her lucky charm ever since.
"I'm the only one in the group to go to the Ice Crystal Hall in a flying carriage, it's so boring, why don't you find Merlin and the others to get together in a group......" Alice grabbed her wand, opened the door lightly, and ran away with a leap.
……
Maureen almost woke up with Barron
"......Whew!" the boy jumped to the ground, and just as he was about to pinch the Kadir boy's nose to get him up, he was startled when he saw two round eyes staring at him.
"Hey...... You're awake, Barron!"
The boy turned his hand and patted the black fire that was sleeping on the magic cloth bag next to his pillow, and saw that it didn't react, so he grabbed it and put it in his pocket, I had never seen anyone's elemental pet love to sleep so much.
Barron rubbed his eyes and put on his coat.
He watered the vines in the corner, and with a solemn countenance pulled out a horn of animal bones from the package, pushed open the window, hammered his chest, and then puffed out his chest and whined.
The sound of the horn was deep and passionate, and it was transmitted far away in the cold night, as if the cries of countless people echoed in the long river of history.
The Qadir people, the spirit of war is immortal, and they are indomitable!
A cold breath swept across the boy's rugged face, and Barron knew that at this moment, the same horn sound echoed across the Eternal Winter Ice Field, and at this moment, in every corner of Todder, every Kadir boy who was about to step into the sea of magic would blow the same horn.
The Qadir people, the spirit of war is immortal, and they are indomitable!
……
When the morning light scattered a misty light through the ice crystals in the hall, more than 200 first-year freshmen were already sitting on the ice table with their wands in hand, and even the students who were usually naughty and mischievous were all solemn at this time.
"Seeing your energetic faces, it's really nostalgic for your youth......" Wang Del habitually stroked his goatee, just about to remember his old days, where Alice had already taken out his money bag and shook it.
Wang Del's old face turned red and coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"Ahem...... Anyway, take it easy, don't be so nervous, you've been doing well these days, and I'm sure you'll all succeed today!"
He smacked the ice crystal ground with the wand in his hand, and a console engraved with magic passages slowly rose and stopped in front of the old man.
"We've already said that the wandering magic will eventually return to the sea of magic, and theoretically, as long as you follow the path of magic, you can always find the sea of magic. But the problem is," Wang De took out a magic crystal card, which was a dark green sixth-order magic crystal card: "We don't know how long this process will take, and it's completely unpredictable, it's likely that an entire era has passed, and the magic power we have tracked is still fluctuating around in a free state." ”
"It is said that in the earliest years, an apprentice needed not only great talent, but also great luck to come into contact with the Sea of Magic. ”
Later, as they studied further, the scholars and mages of Isain devised this magical barrier. He inserted the magic crystal card into the console in front of him, and the streams of light turned around, and countless lines appeared on the floor of the hall, and they lit up one by one, combining into an incomparably complex magical enchantment.
The students looked at their feet in amazement, and they didn't know how many tiny lines were carved on every inch of ice crystal ground, and many of them subconsciously raised their feet slightly, for fear that they would accidentally step on those seemingly fragile and delicate but complex and obscure lines.
"During the tide of mana, through a special spell structure, this magical enchantment will continuously release discrete mana and 'push' it back to the sea of mana, all you have to do is track the fluctuations of mana until you finally find the sea of mana. Wang Deer explained.
"As I say in my book, perception is contact, and the moment you feel the sea of magic, the magic starts to flow to your body, and even if it is successful, you will know it then. Wang De's cane fell to the ground again: "Precautions, you have all memorized the melons, so don't waste everyone's time, let's start." ”
A light curtain rises, separating the students in the middle......
……
Merlin closed his eyes, his wand in both hands, and spread his perception into the world of magic.
The first attempt quickly failed, the mana he was tracking fluctuated so violently and the trajectory changed so quickly that it was more difficult to track than the mana he had practiced in the previous class, and he lost it in just a few breaths.
However, the boy was not discouraged, he narrowed the scope of his mental perception to his side, re-locked a magic fluctuation, and tried again.
……
Seeing that the students in the light curtain were in a meditative state, Wang Del nodded with satisfaction, he summoned a chair to sit down, took out a carving knife and a piece of wood out of nowhere, and began to carve his wand. Because of the magical enchantment, the discrete mana fluctuates faster and is harder to track, and it takes some time for even the brightest students to get used to the new speed, and it's pretty good to succeed before noon.
……
Maureen's second attempt was similarly unsuccessful.
This time he locked onto a mana wave, and because he was prepared, he was finally able to keep up with the speed at which it transformed.
Following the wandering magic, his perception extended farther and farther, and at the beginning there were still a lot of vague fluctuations around him, and then in the boy's perception, the whole world was only left with that track, and everything else was endless nothingness.
I don't know how long it took, but the boy suddenly felt extremely lonely.
This situation is mentioned in the book "A Thousand Things", but the boy can't get rid of this feeling.
His heart became more and more flustered, and finally after a hesitation, he lost the trace of that magic power.
Maureen took a few deep breaths and thought back to Wang Deer's books.
Article 331: Focus, but don't get lost.
He patiently retracted his perception and began a third attempt.
……
It didn't take long for Wang Del to carve the wood in his hand into a rudiment, teaching meditation courses over the years, watching the students begin to get in touch with the sea of magic, he also gained some insights, which made him take another step forward in his wand making skills, whether it is a wand or a magic card, the most basic magic structure is to obtain the power of the sea of magic through resonance.
He mentions it in A Thousand Things You Need to Know When Approaching the Sea of Magic, and in fact, he was particularly pleased with the book he had written, which covered all the possibilities for a novice to encounter when they first encountered the Sea of Magic, so he felt comfortable letting his students try it.
……
"I knew that Professor Wang Del was unreliable!"
Maureen felt like he was about to vomit blood, and he hadn't talked about it at all.
It was his third attempt, and he had learned the lessons of the previous two, and this one had gone extremely well.
He pondered and followed a magical trail, not paying attention to the passage of time or the changes around him, in fact, the preoccupied boy did not notice anything else this time.
His perception followed the fluctuations of magic power and extended to the void, and his spiritual power was gradually consumed, and he was a little tired, according to the statement in "A Thousand Things", when the spiritual power was consumed to a certain extent, it meant that he had crossed enough obstacles, and he should be able to feel the sea of magic power.
It's almost a success.
But the previous mana fluctuations suddenly stopped without warning.
The original trajectory of the unpredictable and rapidly distant magic fluctuations suddenly stopped in the void, no longer moving.
The boy was dumbfounded.
Curse Wang Deer's beard! This, what is the situation? Why did he suddenly stop moving?
There is no mention of such a situation in "A Thousand Things".
He didn't dare to act rashly, and still firmly locked the magic power with his spiritual power, quietly observing, looking forward to what changes might occur after a while.
Time passed, and when the mana stopped fluctuating, the whole world lost its measure of change, and it was unknown how long it had been.
It was as if the magic had lost its soul, and it was still motionless.
The boy even vaguely sensed that there were occasional other magical trajectories in the void that flashed and disappeared into the distance
Waiting like this was not an option, and Merlin felt that his mental power was running out.
The farther the perception spreads in the void, the faster the spiritual power will be consumed, according to the theory taught in the class, the sea of magic should have been found at this consumption rate, but why doesn't it move.
You should move a little, do you just stay in the void for the rest of your life?
The moon god is above, move!
It's a pity that the moon god has never been very attentive to the prayers of our youth.
The young man looked at the still magic power, his spirit became more and more exhausted, and he had to choose to give up helplessly, okay, okay, you win, you just stay here, I don't want to spend time with you, I know that your family's sea of magic is not inferior to you, I wish you a lifetime in this void where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back!!
Probably because the number of attempts was still small, and he didn't notice what went wrong, the boy thought, after all, the book says that the best case also has to be tried six or seven times to succeed, and some people even have to try dozens of times to find the Sea of Magic.
It's just a little unwilling, no matter how you look at it, it's only a little bit of success.
The teenager slowly retracted his perception and began to prepare for the fourth attempt.
But at the moment when the young man's spiritual power sensed and left that magic power, that magic power suddenly moved.
I saw that its trajectory flickered a few times, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the void, and there was no trace to be found.
“…… Huh?"
Morin almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
"How...... How can this be? This is deliberately teasing me, right?!"
"Wow yes...... I'm so angry!" the exasperated young man didn't hesitate for a moment, and his mental perception quickly stretched out to the front.
Although this kind of behavior is like a headless fly, it is easy to lose its way, but after all, the boy still has some mental strength left, and there is no danger.
"Don't let me catch up, or I'll ...... you Forehead...... Beat you into a pie!" Mo Lin couldn't think of how he could fluctuate a magic power after scraping his head, so he couldn't help but be a little more angry: "If no one can do anything to you, you can be unruly, you can be indiscriminately still, and you can deceive the feelings of the young man?"
"The moon god is above, one day you will be punished, hmph, such a naughty magic, the sea of magic must not like you, so that you can no longer find your way home, stay in the void for the rest of your life......" The young man thought indignantly, and turned a few circles in the void as a curse, of course he knew that once he lost the trace of magic power, it was almost impossible to track the same magic power fluctuation again, so his spiritual perception chased after it angrily, and after venting, he didn't find any trace and gave up.
And just as he was about to return, he suddenly felt that something was bounced back.
The young man's surprise was really extraordinary, and his mind instantly went through Wang De's "A Thousand Things".
Unsurprisingly, there is no record.
After a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, and the boy resolutely walked around to the side, it was better not to touch this unknown thing. Daddy Pike often says that curiosity kills cats, don't move things you don't understand, and if you don't say it's good, it's a small life.
Once again, however, his perception was blocked.
Hey, why is there one here, so it's good to go around from here.
There are still obstacles.
At this time, Morin was panicked, and without hesitation, he quickly retreated to the rear.
Bounced back again.
He was trapped.
……
"Seems to be trapped......"
Confirming the current situation, Morin calmed down instead.
If his mental power is exhausted, he should pass out, and he probably won't be able to make any attempts today, and with the protection of the magic enchantment, the worst should not happen - he tried to avoid thinking about it, and he might be trapped here forever.
Case......
Merlin cautiously reached out to his senses, touching the invisible obstacles around him.
Then he noticed that the barriers did not seem to be impenetrable, but just like a viscous liquid, the resistance was so great that he would think it was impassable if he accidentally came into contact with it.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to have hope.
He mustered up his spirits and plunged forward......
