Chapter Seventy-Seven: Convergent Magic
Wang Del was in a good mood at this time, in fact, he hadn't been so happy in a while since that little devil head of Merlin had come to his shop to pick out a wand and caused him "huge" property damage for unknown reasons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As a master wand maker of excellence, he was arguably nearing the peak of his crafting, which brought him great glory and wealth, but also took a lot of pleasure away from it—it had been a long time since he had gone further, even a small step. He often reminisced about his youth, when he was just an obscure apprentice, learning wand-making skills from his mentor, and the sense of progress he made every day was so fulfilling and happy.
And now, Wang Deljue has another chance to move forward.
The wand in his hand was almost finished, and only the last and most critical steps were missing. The insights he gained from thinking during this time should be vaguely related to these steps, but he still hasn't fully understood which steps they are. As long as we solve this last problem, we can go one step further, what is that feeling......
Wang Del stopped the carving knife in his hand and thought about it with a frown.
Tilna, who was next to her, had been observing the situation in the light curtain, and she saw that some of her classmates began to show puzzled expressions on their faces, and saw that Cleo's face was pale and even his wand had fallen to the ground, and finally convinced her guess that the flow of magic in the magic enchantment was indeed abnormal. Noticing that Wang De stopped the carving knife in his hand, he hurriedly reminded:
"Professor Wang Del, it seems that the changes in the magic enchantment are not caused by the baptism of magic, can you take a look?"
Listening to what the Vesdemonic Spirit said seriously, the old man with the goatee in deep thought distracted some of his energy and glanced at the magic enchantment.
Click, the unfinished wand in his hand broke.
"What's the situation?!" Wang De exclaimed, the whole person stood up, and he didn't care about the wand in his hand, he quickly checked the magic enchantment, and exclaimed again: "Why is all the magic running towards Mo Lin?" I saw that at this time, the magic enchantment was like a huge whirlpool, and the continuous magic fluctuations should have been "pushed" by the enchantment to the sea of magic power, but now it was sucked into Mo Lin's body.
The old man with the goatee extended his perception and found that many of the magic powers that had already "walked" halfway had been pulled back, and the culprit, Mo Lin, was still immersed in meditation and did not react. Seeing that the light curtain of the magic enchantment was flickering again, he hurriedly checked the magic crystal card on the console, the magic stored in the dark green crystal card should have supported more than a day, but now it's only been a morning, and there is not much left?!
The magic in the crystal card is all money......
"It's this Maureen Calland again!Is this little devil cursed with his own wealth!" Wang De was so angry that his goatee trembled.
However, he was still angry and neatly changed another sixth-order crystal card to maintain the stability of the magic enchantment, "This was originally a ...... of teaching funds that could be freely disposed of," the old man thought bitterly.
The light curtain stabilized, but the flow of mana in it was not resolved.
Maureen was in a meditative state, and it was impossible to remove him, and it was very dangerous for beginners to have their meditation interrupted by the outside world. And it's not a way to let it go like this, just look at the few students who looked stunned, you can know that they must be chasing the trajectory of magic to Mo Lin, how can this perceive the sea of magic?
Thinking about the fact that next year's "A Thousand Things" will have to be revised and add a few more, which is another expense, and Wang De will have another pain in pain.
I've never seen anything like this before, and after thinking about it for a long time, there is no good solution, so Wang Del had to operate on the console for a while, trying to increase the magic output around Mo Lin, so that maybe the rest of the enchantment will be less affected.
You see that his body is being strengthened, it is clearly the effect of receiving the baptism of magic, but everyone else is washed by the magic in the sea of magic, and they will wake up from meditation, how can they take the initiative to absorb it from the outside, and why did the perception not come back?
"The point is, this absorption speed is too fast, and it is simply not refused. Wang Del thought depressedly.
The mana output speed has been adjusted to ten times, basically unchanged, twenty times, and the impact range is slightly smaller, thirty times, fifty times...... It was only when it increased to two hundred times that he finally barely eliminated Morin's influence on the other students around him. This is equivalent to three times the total mana output of the original enchantment, which was absorbed by Merlin alone.
Finally eliminated the influence, Wang Del breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned to a few stunned students to start meditating again, he simply stopped making a wand, and just stared at Mo Lin, afraid that this guy would have another accident.
The mana in the sixth-order crystal card on the console is also rapidly decreasing......
……
Strayer was the second to complete the meditation.
He tried five times, and he was not affected by Morin, in fact, as long as the mana fluctuation trajectory extended far enough, it would not be affected by Merlin's suction, and basically only the students who had started trying again just now chased after Morin.
When she was removed from the barrier, she was stunned to see someone faster than herself, and then found out that it was Tilna, and immediately showed a hint of relief and greeted her in a friendly manner. Seeing that Mo Lin and Marcus, who had good spiritual power and magic capacity, had not yet finished meditating, their black eyes showed a little pride.
Wang Del casually encouraged, then looked into the light curtain, his brows furrowed.
Strayer didn't take it to heart, and the praise of others meant nothing to him, but he still politely thanked Wang Deer for his teachings.
Without the talent of the Vess Spirit, Strayer could not feel the magic in the magical enchantment, nor did he know what was happening at this moment. He walked to the side and sat down, waiting for his classmates and Osmond in the group to finish meditating. Experiencing the continuous improvement of the sea of magic on him, he took a deep breath, and all kinds of strong emotions in his heart were intertwined, and an extraordinarily complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Finally it began, a power that truly belongs to me.
……
Alice was the third to succeed, and after being removed from the barrier, she didn't care about her ranking, but was very happy to take off her lucky necklace and kiss it.
"I'll go tell my mother the good news first, see you later, Tilna, and Grandpa Wang Del~" said and left the Ice Crystal Hall happily.
After Alice, there were more and more successful people, and from time to time students were removed by Wang De. Students who have completed the meditation will basically wait for their group members on the sidelines, and by the way, they will excitedly exchange ideas with other students about the feeling of magic baptism.
"I feel like my spiritual power has broken through the seventh level of apprenticeship!"
"Then you are so fast, maybe you can directly reach the first-order level, I have only just reached a little more than the sixth level, and the effect of the magic baptism is already much slower than when I first came into contact with the sea of magic"
"That's for sure......"
Equino had to finish a little earlier than Marcus, and when she came out, she saw that Tilna was already waiting outside, with a smile on her face, and she knew that Vesdemonic had finally succeeded this time, and couldn't help but hug her "warmly", although their body temperature was a little lower than that of humans......
It was slowly approaching the afternoon.
Marcus came out with a look of horror on his face.
He was the first of the students influenced by Maureen to succeed.
Speaking of which is also Marcas's bad luck, on the third attempt, he almost found the sea of magic after tracking the fluctuations of mana, but somehow the picture of Tilna's failure flashed in his mind, and after a little distraction, he fell short at the last moment. Because he spent a lot of mental energy this time, he rested for a while, and as a result, he caught up with Morin's whirlpool.
He was not as naïve and reckless as Clio, on the fourth attempt, he quickly noticed that there was a problem with the speed of mental power consumption, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and after perceiving that he suddenly hit an obstacle and lost the trajectory of his magic power, he shrank back without saying a word, how dare he hesitate for a moment. At this time, Wang De was still concentrating on carving, and Marcus looked at the classmates who could be seen around him, all immersed in meditation, and no one had a hellish expression like himself, so he couldn't help but try again.
Perception soon ran into an obstacle again, and shrank back.
When I opened my eyes this time, some of my classmates next to me finally showed a look of surprise, fear or puzzlement, because they couldn't communicate in words through the light curtain, so they could only look at each other.
Not alone, Marcas breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't dare to try again, recalled "A Thousand Things You Must Know When Touching the Sea of Magic", and found that there was no record of the corresponding situation, and cursed Wang Del's beard hatefully, thinking that the old profiteer who sold wands was really unreliable at all, and when he succeeded this time, he would ask his sister to help him get a complete set of meditation textbooks for the Royal Academy of Magic in Gesok.
What if it fails......
If it fails...... Maybe...... Maybe Tilna also failed, and he just happened to be with her...... Marcus couldn't help but wonder......
He felt a little hot on his cheeks, glanced around weakly, and quickly closed the warm magic cloak on his body. He wasn't at all curious about the obstacle that had just blocked him, just kidding, what was in the void, even if it was a treasure, could be obtained by himself as a magic apprentice?
He's still quite self-aware.
It wasn't until he heard Wang De's voice telling him that he could start meditating again, and he still cautiously observed a classmate around him for a long time, and saw that his face was relatively normal when he woke up again, so he began to meditate again.
Barron came out relatively late, generally speaking, the better the mental power and magic capacity, the easier it is to contact the sea of magic power, and the students who are ready to develop into the combat position are generally weaker in these two aspects, and among the four schools of the Iluvita Academy, only the combat and command school is considered the combat career direction, and the students are relatively few.
After becoming a professional, the war class will learn a unique meditation method, using more of its abundant life force than mental power to absorb the magic power of the sea of magic, and even then it is still less efficient than the law class.
By the time Kadir had succeeded, many of the groups had already made it and were back to the academy in a flying carriage.
"Huh, where's Morin?" Barron looked at Tilna and the others, and he didn't think Morin would have any problems.
Only the Demon Spirit could feel the flow of magic in the barrier, and she whispered, "Merlin, he should have succeeded, Professor Wang Del said that he was 'baptized by magic', but for some reason he hasn't woken up yet." ”
Marcas had no confidence in Wang Deer at this time, and he didn't feel comforted at all when he heard this, and still looked at the young man in the light curtain worriedly.
……
As it got dark, and there were fewer and fewer students left in the magical enchantment, many of them noticed that Maureen Calland, who had been the best performer in the Psychic Perception class, was still inside.
Clio was one of the last of the few students affected, and he was one of the few affected students who found out that the obstacle was Merlin, and was even more resentful because of it. Because he thought too much, his mood fluctuated too much, and his mentality was greatly affected, it took him a long time to adjust and complete the meditation.
"If it weren't for Maureen, I would have been the first to succeed. When he thought that he should have proudly waited for his companions to come out and meet their amazed eyes, but he succeeded so late, all he saw was worried and relieved expressions, and even Kailin, who had some competition with him in the same group, was unabashedly gloating, and he was angry.
However, seeing that Morin still looked meditating in the light curtain, Clio suddenly balanced a little.
"It's better to fail and stay in the first grade for a few more years, and then I'll call you junior when I see you later, hum. He thought to himself, "Just like this, you still want to challenge Senior Ryan?" He glanced at Tierna, and felt that the Vessdemonic Spirit was emitting a lot of magic fluctuations around him, and knew that she had succeeded, and snorted unhappily.
He also bet a lot on that gamble, of course, he bet on Tilna to fail, although he didn't feel sorry for those gold coins, but after all, there was one less object to laugh at, but there was also Morin.
After the last capture of his elemental pet, the contradictions between the two groups have basically become public, and they don't greet anyone when they meet. Now the group simply didn't leave, just waiting to see how Morin failed. There were also some students who wondered if Maureen would be able to stay and wait, such as Strayer and Osmond.
……
If it weren't for Mo Lin, who was still meditating, all the students in this class would have successfully come into contact with the Sea of Magic, but Wang De, who was their teacher, was not happy at all.
He had changed the magic crystal card four times today, that is, he was sucked away by Merlin a full fifty thousand gold coins worth of magic power, and the price of a hundred basic wands, Wang Del thought bitterly, and it was only now that the mana absorption slowed down.
Look at Mo Lin again, in his perception, in terms of the effect of the magic baptism, the little ghost's body has been raised a little too much, but fortunately, his magic baptism seems to have only lasted for so much of a day, if it lasts for a week like a normal person, what will others do.
"Dare to swear to the moon god that he is a fake Lothar, hmph, the moon god and her old man are not tolerant if a thunderbolt hits your head. Wang Der thought, "I have also seen many Lotha people in Sororumi, who is like you......"
But why hasn't he woken up yet, is there really something wrong?
A hint of melancholy quietly appeared between the old man's brows.
……
"Maureen Calland's Little Puddle of Magic...... Maureen Calland's Little Puddle of Magic ......"
In the bubble space, or in the world of "Maureen Calland's Little Puddle of Magic", Maureen slumped on the sand and said over and over again: "Little puddle of Magic...... Small puddle ......"
"This is too bad!" the boy wanted to cry without tears.
Why is it that everyone else is connected to the sea of magic, but this little puddle of magic is connected to me......
The black cards no longer gush out magic, look at the puddle at the edge of the space, oh no, it's a sand pit now, there is not a drop of water in it, and there is no comparison with the vast and endless sea of magic. The card had been completely manifested under the magic wash, and in addition to a few large words on the name of the card that made the boy collapse, the card also reflected the appearance of this space, and the boy could even see the small collapsed self on the ground. On the back of the black card, there are starry stars connected to each other, which is lifelike.
Merlin figured it out, he was probably born different from others, destined to only connect this small puddle of magic, and as for the black card that his grandfather left him, it was probably a door passage or something.
The reason why the magic fluctuations that he tracked suddenly stopped was because he was about to enter the sea of magic power, and the magic fluctuations with his own spiritual power attached to them were all rejected by the sea of magic power. Later, he came to the world of the Sea of Magic by mistake, and accidentally touched the black crystal card, awakening this small puddle of magic or awakening the passage, and the sea of magic drove him and the crystal card out......
Maybe maybe that's it, but I thought the moon god and her old man were upset for me......
The boy couldn't stop grieving, even if the magic baptism worked well, what could he do, and then he didn't know what it would be like to be pitted by this small puddle. He stayed here for most of the day, and at first he still had the illusion that maybe this small bubble would become bigger, thinking that maybe this small puddle could become the sea in the future, but most of the day passed, and all the magic power gushing out of the cards before seeped into the young man's spiritual body, and none of them remained in this space, and there was no trace of expansion on the edge of the bubble.
There must not be even a grain of sand, the boy thought desperately, he estimated that he would be with this little puddle of magic for the rest of his life.
Considering the time, the companions must be worried, and Maureen doesn't want to stay in this heartbreaking place anymore. He touched the card in the center, and sure enough, in the boy's perception, the fully manifested card clearly extended a trajectory pointing to the distance, which should be the direction of return.
Mo Lin's heart moved, and he slowly opened his blue eyes.
The magic in his body was as strong as a substance, his perception was as sharp as a hundred times, everything in the temple was in full view, the cries of concern from his companions, the taunts of Clio, the surprise of Strayer, the relief of Wang Del, and the dark red scattered by the sunset through the ice crystals......
Not accustomed to this feeling, the boy was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, the surrounding firelight exploded.
