The interior of the Dark Mage's Tower is hollow, with a rotating wooden ladder spiraling up to the top, with circular corridors surrounding each floor. Six support columns extend from the base of the tower to the top of the tower. Hill followed Tik, who was immersed in the joy of magic coins, to the third floor. There was no door in the room, soft light filtered through the stone windows, a mysterious circle on a yellowed cowhide scroll, and a young man with jet-black curls was searching for it on a bookshelf.

"Found it, how magic coins are made, Ciel took the messenger on the table to summon the magic study guide and went with me to the magic practice room. The curly-haired youth turned his head, his dark eyes shining, and his cheeks became fairer in his black magic robe. is a handsome uncle. Douglas held a cowhide scroll in his hand.

"Okay, teacher. Hill picked up the leather rolls that had been placed on the table and followed Douglas to a nearby room. Empty, except for a stone table in the middle, there is no extra clutter. This is a place dedicated to practicing magic.

"I'm short on time, so now let's learn two magics, magic coin making and messenger summoning. I think you've completed your initial education in the general history of magic, how are your grades?" asked Douglas.

"It's all excellent, teacher. Hill replied.

"Good, I like smart kids. Clever and perceptive. Now open the scroll in your hand. You know, summoning messengers is inseparable from the help of magic coins. Learn how to make magic coins now. Douglas said.

"Magic coin production involves three steps: magic coordination, magic circle construction, and magic injection. I'm going to demonstrate it now. After speaking, Douglas waved his magic wand to outline a pentagram in the air, and after the pentagram was formed, it began to inject magic power, and after a while, a magic coin was formed.

"I smell magic coins. Tick floated in from outside. "Great Mr. Douglas, are you going to reward your faithful messenger Tik?"

Tick looked at Douglas with a blank eye, but unfortunately, Douglas didn't mean to reward him, and after the magic coin was fully formed, he brought the magic coin to Ciel.

"This magic coin was given to you, and now you start learning how to make it, and the instructions for making it are on the leather scroll I gave you. ”

Ciel reached out to pick up the magic coin, but he didn't touch anything.

"Haha, magic coins aren't your Imperial coins. Now let's get to practice, Tick, and don't mess with it, or I'll send you back." With that, Doras turned and walked out of the magic practice room.

Ciel tried a few more times, and the magic coin floated quietly in the air, like a phantom.

"If you give me this magic coin, I'll tell you how to get it. Tick said.

"No, I can get it myself. Ciel began to look at the magic coin making guide.

Magic is the fundamental power of a magician, and magic coins are only the result of using a delicate magic array to restrain magic power, and invisible power cannot be held with hands. You only need to feel the magic power with your hands, and the spiritual power acts at the same time, so you can naturally hold the magic coin. Thinking of this layer, Ciel immediately went into action, and finally moved the magic coin by one centimeter.

This is a good start, Hill thought, and began to work hard to move the magic coins.

The practice of moving magic coins is boring and boring, and there is no fun at all. But for a person who wants to become an apprentice in magic, the proficiency and control of magic coins determine how far he can go on the path of magic.

Hill did a great job in this matter. Tirelessly practice dragging magic coins, every time you practice until your spirit is exhausted. Just take a break. Of course, Tik is a great person to chat with, and he always has a lot of energy.

"Dick, are you a magical messenger?"

"Of course, I'm the Magic Messenger of the Year. ”

"Then why don't you deliver the letter?"

"Because Mr. Douglas has no letters lately. ”

"Do you know Teacher Betty and Uncle Tim's magic messenger?"

"You're talking about that stupid bird, aren't you Stupid Cat Bird and Dolly the Dragon? Of course we know, we're neighbors. However, the dead bird got a fat difference, but he was rich, and I heard that he had changed to the latest model of the spirit world, and this dead cat and bird turned out to be a rich man. I heard that the Dean's messenger, Dogo, was looking for him for a loan. ”

"Can you magic messengers still take out loans? what else can you do?"

"Part-time, for each of our tall magic messengers, sending letters is just a basic function. I now work part-time as Mr. Doudouglas's housekeeper and servant. ”

"Do you have any dreams, Mr. Natick?"

"Of course, it's an endless amount of magic coins, living in a mansion, and living a life where you don't have to go out to work every day to spend endless magic coins. Little Ciel, what is your dream, to become a great magician?"

"My dreams?" Hill remembered his grandfather who had to get up early every day to work, his father he had never met, the bitter smell of wild vegetables, and his grandmother, who was sick and couldn't afford to see a doctor, and finally died by the wheat field.

"I don't have dreams, my grandfather said that magicians are noble professions, and there is endless food and money to spend. ”

"You are the one who will become a magician in the future, and every magician has a great dream, such as your mentor, Mr. Douglas, whose dream is to master all the truths of magic. ”

"Mr. Douglas is great. Hill thought as he began to practice moving the magic coins again.

For the next three weeks, every day Hill came early to practice, and the caring Tik provided food, although it was only a few slices of bread and water, but it saved the trouble of going back and forth to the academy, and Ciel promised Tik another magic coin as a thank you.

Now Ciel is very proficient in manipulating magic coins. From the simple movement at the beginning, you can now use magic coins and ticks to toss. Of course, Tick gave a lot of detailed guidance, as a magic elf, Tik mastered various postures to receive magic coins, and Tik, who had participated in the elf magic coin toss competition a few years ago, was a silver medalist and was rewarded with three magic coins.

Of course, Hill also learned the detailed process of making magic coins and the messenger summoning circle, and with the encouragement of Tiktic, he tried to make magic coins, but failed without accident. Now it's time to go to Mr. Douglas and ask questions. Teacher Mara said that a magic apprentice who loves to ask questions is a good magic apprentice.

Mr. Douglas was in the only small room at the top of the Magic Tower. In fact, Mr. Douglas was there every time Hill came to practice, but except for the occasional bread and water that Tick brought up, Hill never saw Mr. Douglas come out.

It was early in the morning, and Hill was in front of the Magic Tower, Mr. Douglas's room.

"Good morning, Mr. Douglas. ”

Douglas looked busy, his flowing jet-black curls a little messy, his eyes were deep-set, he glanced at Hill and made a silent gesture to him. Back in his busy magical experiments, sometimes writing and drawing on vellum paper, sometimes sketching a strange magic circle in the air. It wasn't until noon that a deafening shout of "Tik ..............." sounded.

Tik was fully armed, wearing armor that had been conjured out of nowhere, holding a hammer, and wearing a funny helmet-like hat, and flew up from downstairs in a panic.

"Ciel, look at my latest magical achievements. Magical Samurai. Douglas pulled Hill to the floating platform of the magic tower, and began to outline a huge magic array in the air, a five-pointed star array, a six-pointed star array, an empowerment magic circle, and for a full quarter of an hour, a huge magic array floated in the air, and began to project colorful rays downward.

"Tick!"

Tik had already flown into the beam, and as the beam shone, Tik began to slowly grow larger, and the armor and weapons on his body began to fill with energy and become radiant.

When Tick became as big as Douglas, the magic circle stopped shining and then dimmed and vanished.

"How's it feeling? Douglas asked.

"It's strong, Mr. Douglas, and I feel like I can kill a dragon. Tiktik said.

"Show it then!" said Douglas.

Tik began to swing his hammer around, and each time a bolt of lightning was issued, accompanied by the bombardment of fireballs, which shook the mountains for a while, and the flames overflowed.

"It's good, it's powerful. Douglas said.

Hill looked at the huge Tik, like a god in the air, and for the first time germinated the pride of being a magician, it turned out that this is a magician, this is the power of magic.

After a long time, with the release of the last glimmers of lightning and fireballs, Tik reverted back to his original appearance, wearing a helmet with only two glasses exposed, and wielding a small hammer in the air. There were words in his mouth: "Lord Tik is now the invincible god of war, if the stupid cat and bird dare to provoke me again, you will be destroyed." ”

"Alright Tick, come down. Douglas said.

"So Ciel, do you have something to do with me?" asked Douglas.

"Teacher, I had a problem making magic coins, and I don't know why the magic coins I made didn't succeed. Hill said.

"Didn't Tick tell you?" Douglas wondered.

"Mr. Tik doesn't know why?" Hill was very respectful of Tik, especially when he saw Tik's majestic appearance just now.

"Well, show me how to make magic coins, Ciel. Douglas said.

Hill then showed off his own production process.

"Your mana output isn't stable enough and not long-lasting enough for mana coins to be freely controlled?" Douglas asked.

"Yes, teacher. Hill showed the results of the exercise. Douglas was satisfied.

"Very well, this is a magic wand that can help you control your magic very quickly, and magicians sometimes need to know how to use tools. Douglas took out a jet-black magic wand, which seemed to have been broken by lightning, and handed it to Ciel. "So, little Ciel, practice hard, remember to make a few more magic coins, the teacher has been busy lately, and this time Tik's reward will be entrusted to you." Tick, Hill is a great apprentice!"

Hill thanked Douglas for his teaching, walked down the stairs with his magic wand, and came from a distance from Mr. Douglas's voice: "This time Tick has three magic coins, don't give more, Hill." ”
