Act XXV
Grandia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Professor Siegfrier's words.
The identity of a disciple is completely different from that of an ordinary student.
In ancient magic, the so-called disciple is the person who inherits the mantle of the master, not only knowledge and wealth, but even the inscriptions engraved on the body must be inherited, because most of the ancient magic will cause certain changes to the body, so this mutation will also be passed on to the disciples.
There are even some special spells that the disciples need to devour each other's bodies to fully inherit after the death of their teacher, and of course, most of such factions were wiped out by the Templar forces when modern magic was just in its infancy.
Today, arguably the most akin to ancient magicians are the Dark Wizards, but they are also more modern and have abandoned many cruel traditions.
In other words, Siegfrier meant to pass on all his knowledge to Grandia.
This is certainly not a whim.
Siegfrier had a deep understanding of the runes needed to cast spells, and when he had previously taken a peek into the inner workings of the camera, he had discovered that the arrangement of the runes was completely different from the traditional theory of magical construction.
The basic theory of modern magic is the magical language created by Lord Livingston, which can combine originally scattered runes in a certain order to achieve a specific effect, and the mages have to pay only to invoke the magic of the circle.
In contrast to ancient mages who had to rely entirely on their own magic to use spells, modern mages only need to invoke the corresponding combination of runes to cast spells, which is why mages have been able to resist the cleansing of the Templars and occupy a place in the world.
Now, however, this Grantia Ulysses has shown a completely different way of casting spells, and although the runes used are no different from normal casting, and even a little cumbersome, the effect is quite significant—Professor Siegfrier has seen firsthand how cameras differ from other magic wizards.
Although it is not yet known what kind of power is behind this student, it is obviously not a loss-making business to make friends with such forces.
What's more, Professor Siegfrier was now completely immersed in the spells he had just seen, and his mind was full of figuring out why the runes were arranged the way they were.
It's just a disciple, Professor Siegfrier has never cared about such an external reputation, he pays more attention to real strength, even if he wants to recruit a girl from a non-magical family as a disciple will be ridiculed by other mages, he doesn't care at all.
"Mr. Siegfriel, aren't you really kidding?"
Teacher Wendy seems to be a little dissatisfied with Professor Siegfrier's behavior of attacking first, in terms of rank, the two of them are considered to be equal, no matter who Grantia studies under in the future, there is no big difference, but if Professor Siegfrier speaks first, it will be difficult for Teacher Wendy to snatch it clearly.
Who doesn't know how much of a sensation this camera, and the technology behind it, will bring to the wizarding world.
"Of course not, it was a deliberate decision. ”
Professor Siegfrier said immediately.
Vice Principal Franchester smiled helplessly, on the one hand, the magic competition is a challenge for the students, and on the other hand, it is also a platform for the judges and teachers to choose their successors, in fact, Alyssa, who appeared before, made the two teachers a little excited, but it was not as outstanding as now.
It can also be seen from the side that the camera that Grantia is showing now is too unexpected, although the three judges and teachers are very principled to contain their surprise, but when they fall into the step of grabbing the students, they all ignore the original calmness.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Vice Chancellor Franchester had chosen a successor, he might have been involved in the fray.
After all, who wouldn't want to take an invention that changes the future as their own?
"Well, Professor Siegfriel, thank you very much for your kindness, but I don't think I'm new to magic right now, and it doesn't seem safe to decide where I'm going to go so early, so I hope I've had time to think about it. ”
Grantia was silent for a moment before replying.
Her words surprised the three teachers a little.
This was an invitation from a formal mage.
You must know that even now, when modern magic has become popular, there are still more than eighty percent of mage apprentices who will never become full-fledged mages, and what it means to be a full-fledged mage's disciple, and which apprentice who enters the academy to study is unclear.
If she becomes a disciple of Professor Siegfriel, then Grant will not only gain status, but also all of Professor Siegfrier's support, from various magical materials to potions that increase the affinity of the elements, plus Professor Siegfrier's best efforts to answer questions, and even his various connections in the wizarding world.
These are enough to be called a huge temptation for a person who has only just entered the wizarding world for less than half a year.
Even an apprentice like Will Sanderson from a family of magician developers would have a great opportunity to get a personal legacy from an official magician.
Grantia's decisive rejection of Professor Siegfrier's invitation has to make people speculate more about the truth about the forces behind it.
Could it be someone from the Rainbow Tower?
Vice Chancellor Franchester thought of this possibility again, thinking of the intricate and orderly runic structure of the camera earlier, and he felt more and more that this was the truth, that only someone with a deep understanding of magic and the laws could design such a magician.
If that's the case, then Professor Siegfrier's invitation would be too arrogant, you know, they are only low-level mages, and only mid-level mages in the Rainbow Tower are eligible to enter, and any person in the council can hang their entire Christine.
With such a big man as the backing, it's no wonder that Grandia was able to stay unmoved.
Vice Chancellor Franchester was even a little glad that he hadn't been involved in the competition just now, and he looked at the faces of Professor Siegfriel and Teacher Wendy, both of whom were a little gloomy, as if they were thinking about Grantia's decisiveness.
Professor Siegfrier and Vice Chancellor Franchester had similar thoughts, and both sensed the complex forces behind Grantia, but he did not retreat, but planned to wait until later to contact Grantia through private channels.
Teacher Wendy was a little lucky, Grantia directly rejected Professor Siegfrier like this, so it means that it is still possible on her side, she didn't think too much about it, she only felt a little happy.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, but the review had to continue, and according to the process, after the presentation, it should be the link to put forward opinions.
But to be honest, none of the three of them had a new idea for the camera, because they didn't know anything about the novelty and the technology behind it.
"So Grantia Ulysses, next, we're going to have some comments about your camera and hope you can improve it. ”
But as usual, Vice Chancellor Franchester said to Grantia.
"Well, then, Professor Siegfrier, tell me first. ”
