35- Formal apprenticeship
The archmage gradually fell into deep thought, and he now looked more like talking to himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info "It's entirely possible, it's entirely possible. What we see now will also become an illusion hidden around us in the future. If my tower were a clock, these visions would appear regularly and would be easy to interpret. But from the moment the Tower becomes an hourglass, the laws are broken by the distorted space-time, and each illusion appears around us with its own laws, making it even more difficult to explain them. The archmage leaned back into his chair, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. It's really interesting, I've never liked the neat, well-arranged space of the universe. Huang Huang nodded in understanding, "You've seen such special illusions, isn't there a way to predict the future through those illusions?" The archmage's mood suddenly fell again. Isn't there a way to avoid that kind of future? The archmage muttered. No, they're the kind of thing that even an astral mage has to be in awe, yes, they're that awesome thing. ”
"But—" "No," the archmage interrupted the apprentice rudely, and drank the wine from his glass.
"Now that you've drunk a lot, as my student, my apprentice, come, show me how much control you have over magic. Come, lift my glass. Huang Huang frowned, he felt a little drunk, and he said vaguely, "But we've already drunk a lot." "That's right," replied the archmage, "you should keep your state, you never know when those sands of time and space will appear. There are two ways to solve it, or you always be vigilant and avoid a sinister fate; Or you enjoy life in comfort and wait until bad luck strikes to pay the price. Don't wait for the battle to sharpen the gun, you should take precautions. Alright, cast your spell energy, quick! ”
Huang Huang didn't know how much he had drunk, he tried to stay awake, trying to make the heavy pottery cup float...... A few minutes later, he set out to look for tools to clean the fragments of the clay cup.
This was the end of his first day as an apprentice.
In the remaining days, Huang Huang's apprenticeship life officially began. Before breakfast, Huang Huang starts a one-hour mantra practice under the guidance of the archmage, and from breakfast time until dinner, Huang Huang becomes the archmage's assistant, assisting the archmage in various tasks. These include recording spells that the Archmage was aware of, or running to the library to fix books of one kind or another, or simply carrying the Archmage's toolbox while he worked. He found it a pleasure to work with this old man.
Every night, Huang Huang had a certain amount of free time to do some magic practice and research, while the archmage did some other secret work. Huang Huang was very curious about what these jobs were, and he thought they were related to a dwarf. The dwarf came to the tower in a mechanical plane, and came twice a week, each time bringing something with him, and at the same time taking something with him, which was in his bag, and Huang Huang didn't know what it was.
The archmage later visited the library after Huang Huang had tidied up, and the archmage walked into the library, then looked around the room and nodded with satisfaction, "It's really good." I'm sure I remember it vividly: no one has ever done it as well as you have done it before. ”
"I've sorted out the books," Huang Huang explained happily, "and to your left are history books, including epics. The middle section is about legends and legends, categorized by language and content. On the other side of the balcony were specialized materials - research notes on potions and potion, explanations of spells, and books on theoretical hypotheses. And the books that are so powerful that I can't look through and confirm the contents are out there, and maybe you'll need to check them out for yourself. ”
"That's right," the archmage was observant of the neat library, not listening carefully to Huang Huang's words at all, "It should be said that it is fantastic." You've done a fantastic job. It's amazing. He looked around the library again, looking like he had regained his purpose in life, "It's really good." You've done a great job. ”
From then on, the Archmage allowed the young apprentice to consult freely in the library, and even allowed him to look for any questions he wanted to know. "I have only one request," the archmage smiled, "and that is that I need to look at the area you're curious about. Huang Huang's expression became very unnatural, and the archmage saw his embarrassment and smiled, "I'm not worried that you'll hide something from me, young apprentice, but - you know my memory, and I need to know your mastery at all times, so that I can tell when I met you." ”
With the permission of the archmage, Huang Huang began to read a lot of books about time, but most of the materials he read were very ordinary and superficial, most of them seemed to regard the change of time as a kind of law, in their understanding, time is a law of order, and it is impossible and impossible to try to change anything about time. However, Huang Huang's research also has a little effect, he found that an ancient book mentions the name of a god of time, this name is only mentioned once, there is no other related description, Huang Huang does not know the meaning, the demon king seems to know or heard of this name very well, but he is reluctant to say more, as if rejecting it. And the archmage is the same, once Huang Huang asked the archmage for the meaning of the god of time, and the archmage was like a child who did something wrong and wanted to escape punishment, and then changed the topic to another issue, and advised Huang Huang that the control of time is a very delicate and complicated process, and he has not yet learned this, and the archmage promised to teach him when the time is ripe, and since then Huang Huang has not received any other information about time.
"I've got to be away for a while." One morning, the archmage was at the dining table and said to Huang Huang
"Shall I go too?" Huang Huang asked.
"No, I'm going alone this time." The Archmage strode forward and walked out the door. "I'll give you the rest of your class schedule to Bert."
"When are you coming back?" Huang Huang asked loudly, the archmage had already gone far away.
"When it's time for me to come back." The archmage's answer came from afar, and he strode towards the top of the tower, and Huang Huang seemed to see Bert standing there.
"Okay," Huang Huang looked back at the books, his hands on his hips. "I'm here to study this big hourglass."
