"You seem to have been busy lately! Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Noah sat on the opposite side of the dining table, bowing his head and laboriously cutting a piece of tender steak with a silver table knife, his soft curls soaked with fine sweat on his forehead, and sticking to his forehead softly.

He stretched out his hand and loosened his bow tie, looked up at me, and then said with some complaints: "I really can't figure out when exactly you practiced meditation, do you use it every night when you go to bed?"

"Of course not, you still have to get enough sleep. "I shoved a delicious piece of beef into my mouth and kept looking at the door of the restaurant.

It was lunchtime, there were a lot of people in this restaurant, Noah's voice was a little louder, attracting the young students who were eating around us to look at us curiously, most of the people who dined here were students of the School of Magic, this restaurant is most famous for fried steaks, the beef is tender and juicy, but the price on the price list is really expensive, only a wealthy aristocratic son like Noah would like to come here to eat.

These students of the School of Magic smile when they hear me and Noah talk about sensitive words such as 'magic' and 'meditation', and almost every student has the trouble of the conflict between 'learning magic' and 'practicing meditation', so Noah's complaint to me still makes some of the students at the meal feel a little curious.

There are still a lot of aristocratic students in the Royal Academy of Magic, and the students who can come here for lunch are a group of aristocratic sons who never lack silver in their pockets, and I turned my head to see a group of young nobles wearing robes walking in at the door of the restaurant, and the silver-haired young man led by him happened to be Lorenzo, it seems that he and his fox friends also came here to eat, and Lorenzo this guy will have a kind of arrogance on his face wherever he goes.

The waitress standing at the door of the restaurant led them to the six-person table on the other side of the restaurant, which was far away from me and Noah, so they didn't see me and Noah.

I withdrew my gaze, and Noah, who was sitting across from me, was still babbling and complaining.

He said indignantly: "Jijia, in addition to the main class every morning, you can only be seen in the club activities on Monday and Wednesday, you spend most of your spare time in the magic research institute every week, but why can you still get an A+ in the magic power assessment? ”

Seeing that I was smiling and silent, his expression was a little mysterious, he put down the silver dinner knife in his hand suspiciously, squinted at me and asked, "Do you have a magic carpet that can help you quickly recover your mana while meditating?"

"Almost!" I replied with a smile.

In the morning, our class conducted a magic power assessment, and I got an A+, which is the biggest affirmation of the magic instructor for whether the magic students are diligent in practicing 'meditation'.

In this kind of assessment, the academy does not compare the magic level of the students with each other, and does not assume that the students with the highest level are the ones who practice. Meditation's most diligent people, the magic tutor will be evaluated according to the grade at the time of admission, the magic level for each student is different, and there is a relatively objective expectation for each student, at the next assessment, the student who can reach this expectation will be regarded as a qualified person in the assessment, and the students who do not meet the expectation, the tutors will focus on marking it down, and then help them find the reason for the slow progress of magic cultivation, if it is a bottleneck in promotion, the magic tutor will impart a certain amount of promotion experience, so that the score is generally not too bad, but if it is because of the usual laziness, there is no diligent cultivation and the cultivation speed is too slow, then it is easy to fail the assessment.

This kind of magic assessment is still very important to us at the moment, if you fail the assessment too many times, don't think about getting the graduation certificate smoothly.

"Where did you buy it? Tell me! I'd like to get a magic carpet that works a little better. Noah couldn't wait to ask.

I lowered my head and pulled out the sapphire stone drum totem, which was about half the size of a pineapple, from my magic belt bag and placed it on the table.

Sapphire like this is a very common thing in jewelry stores, and there are a lot of impurities in this sapphire crystal, the quality is very poor, it is polished into the shape of a stone drum, the surface is carved with magic runes that have become a little worn, and the magic runes on it are full of the style of the orc tribe, and the lines are rough and simple.

This sapphire stone drum totem is placed on the dining table, in the eyes of others, this is a crafts full of tribal style ordinary gemstone carving, the carving technique can even be described as very clumsy, but Noah has seen me use it more than once in battle, the whole stone drum totem is in a combat state, like a light blue lantern, floating beside me, I know that he is full of curiosity about this magic prop, so I simply took this opportunity to let him take a look at these stone drum totems.

He looked at the stone drum totem carefully, trying to find some secrets he didn't find from it, and find out some unusual magic runes, so as to prove that this magic item was a priceless treasure, but after he looked at it for a long time, he still didn't understand what this extremely poor quality blue crystal artifact was for, Noah tried to input some mana into it, but those mana were like stones sinking into the sea, after getting out of the control of his palm, it suddenly seeped into the blue crystal stone drum totem, and disappeared directly。

"The rune on this is actually the 'Mana Recovery' skill, although I don't have a magic carpet with the 'Gathering Magic Array', but this one is also very good. I said to Noah.

Noah looked at it with some confusion, as if he wanted to find out if this rough gem had any hidden other mechanisms, but soon he put the sapphire stone drum totem back on the table in frustration, and no longer had any thoughts about this poor sapphire crystal, Noah exhaled softly, shrugged his shoulders and said to me: "I knew that this is a very special magical item, and only people with certain talents and bloodlines can use it, it didn't choose me!"

In fact, I also want to tell him that when I didn't awaken the magic pool, under the guidance of an orc shaman elder, and for some coincidental reasons, I cultivated a restoration magic 'heater' called 'chicken ribs' to level 30.

Now, the 'heating' passive magic skill on my body has begun to gradually show its strength, and at present, even without using the blue crystal stone drum totem, I have three to five times the speed of mana recovery for magicians of the same level, and this terrifying mana recovery speed can save me a lot of 'meditation' time.

In addition, meditation requires the consumption of some spiritual power in the divine consciousness, because I am born with the talent of 'magic perception', and this keen perception is based on a strong level of spiritual power, so my mental power is also twice as high as that of a magician of the same level, so that I can meditate for nearly twice as much time every day as a magician of the same level.

......

The reason why magicians practice 'meditation' is because 'meditation' can quickly restore the mana in the magic pool, so that in the process of mana recovery, the upper limit of the magic pool can be enhanced to a certain extent, and when the upper limit of the magic pool reaches a certain point, the magician will usher in a new round of promotion.

Of course, there is no bottleneck in the promotion of small stages. It's like in the magic apprenticeship stage, only when you are a seventh-level magic apprentice and a ninth-level magic apprentice, you will encounter two bottlenecks respectively, either you need to learn a primary magic skill, or you need a certain department's magic affinity to reach the standard.

However, the promotion of the big stage is often a barrier that many magicians cannot overcome, just like when a magic apprentice is promoted to a magician, he needs to perceive the magic vortex.

After the magician reaches the peak level of the ninth level, he needs to comprehend his 'potential' in order to be promoted to a first-turn magician, just like Morayar is now going to the rainforest of the wild swamp alone, wanting to feel his own 'potential' in the battle and extreme survival. In fact, there are many magicians who will not be able to break through this barrier in their lifetime because of their own talents, and the evil mage of the Dark Arts Retreat, Mondtroa, was not able to break through because he couldn't break through, so he traveled with the caravan all over the world to find children born with magical talents, and then used evil sacrifice rituals to plunder magical talents before he awakened the magic pool.

According to incomplete statistics, among the many magicians, those who can comprehend the 'potential' and successfully complete the first transfer will not exceed half of the total number of magicians.

When a first-turn magician reaches the peak of the nineteenth level, if he wants to be promoted to a second-turn magician, he needs to feel the elemental elves in the elemental world, sign a contract with the elemental elves, and at the same time need to have the elemental body, as far as I know, Mentor Heidi of the El-City War Magic Academy is trying to hit the bottleneck of the nineteenth level, and wants to become a second-turn magician, although he is still trapped in the peak of the nineteenth level, but Mentor Heidi is still the magician in El City who is currently most likely to successfully complete the second transfer.

And the fire class tutor of the War Magic Academy, Flender, is being tortured by his 'fire elemental body', and he is short-tempered and irritable, remembering that Dean Goldfrie once said that if Teacher Flender can successfully control his elemental body, he will have the opportunity to become another magician in the War Magic Academy who has the hope of breaking through the twentieth level mark and successfully completing the second transfer after Mentor Heidi.

If a magician who completes the first class change has a 50% success rate among magicians, then the second magician has a pass rate of less than 30% among first-turn magicians.

For the magical geniuses of the Royal Academy of Magic from various provinces, most of them can still successfully complete the first job change.

......

"That's what Mr. Sean said?" Noah held the stone drum totem in his hand, amazed.

"Actually, I practice 'meditation' every day, but our methods are a little different. In the Magic Research Institute, if you continue to carve the magic pattern circle for a long time, the mana in the magic pool will quickly dry up, I have plenty of rest time to recover the mana, and then continue to carve the magic pattern circle, during this time of rest, I usually use 'meditation' to quickly recover the mana!" I explained to Noah.

I continued: "So, speaking of which, when I engrave the magic pattern array, it will quickly consume mana, so when I 'meditate', I usually need to quickly fill up the mana in the magic pool, and this kind of cultivation should be more effective!"

"I see!" Noah said as if he didn't understand, and then sighed, "No wonder the teacher adds an A+ to your grade, probably for this reason." ”

The walnut door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a pretty face with a distinctive personality poked in from the outside, the green algae-like big wave curls were scattered, and the cold starry eyes swept through the crowd, and quickly locked on me sitting in the corner against the wall, the goose egg-shaped white face was still stained with some sweat, and her face was slightly flushed, when she saw me, her eyes suddenly brightened, she gently pushed open the door of the restaurant with her shoulder, and walked in.

Becky is the kind of body curve that is very perfect, the convex convex, the concave concave, a tight chain mail hook completely envelops her proud figure.

This set of chain mail seems to be woven with a fine and delicate black iron chain, with her slightly pure beautiful face, a wide belt of hard rhinoceros skin tied around the waist of the bee, a sharp military thorn hanging behind, when walking, the scabbard of the military spur with a unique rhythm, patting the plump and sexy buttocks, a pair of plump jade peaks exaggerated the chain mail propped up, outlining a seductive curve on the chest.

Becky's tall figure, her legs were round and strong, and every step forward gave a strong sense of oppression, which made the magicians in the restaurant turn their heads and cast amazing glances at her, while Becky still put on a cold look, and walked straight towards me past the crowd of onlookers.

And my eyes were on Becky's back, wearing a pure white robe. Ying Li followed Becky and walked in quietly, her eyes fell on me, and she smiled at me, Ying Li will not give people a very amazing feeling at first sight, but her slender eyes, when she smiles, cute little dimples will appear on her face, these always have her own little charm, and now she has gradually begun to mature, she is demure, gentle, and understanding, which has been constantly attracting me.

I got up from my seat, beckoned to Win and Becky, and got up to help them pull out the seats at the table.

"Sorry, we're late. Ying Li said apologetically to Noah and me.

"It's okay, in fact, we just came here not long ago!" Noah was literally lying with his eyes open, the plate in front of him was already a mess, the meat steak had already been eaten for almost a long time, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, this can't escape Ying Li's careful eyes, Ying Li gently pursed his lips and smiled, and looked at me charmingly, those big talking eyes seemed to say: Your best friend is really good at talking (shameless)! After a few contacts, Noah and Ying Li also began to gradually become familiar, so occasionally they would make some innocuous jokes.

I beckoned to the hostess standing aside, and then chose a fresh and tender salamander tender tail meat for Ying Li, the salamander's tail meat is the most lively, and the meat also contains a certain fire element, which is often eaten, which is very helpful for fire magicians and can improve the affinity of fire attributes. Becky is a bison rib, which is a set meal that increases physical strength. These are the restaurant's most distinctive dishes, and of course both meats are monster meats, and the price of each dish is quite expensive.

When Ying Li and I were dating, she rarely chose this kind of high-end restaurant, the reason was that she knew that my family conditions were average, and she was worried that some high consumption would cause me financial pressure, at this time, seeing that I did not hesitate to order expensive dishes, sat quietly beside me, although she did not speak, but looked at me with some doubts.

"Hey, this guy has a treat!" I said with a smile and pointed to Noah, who was sitting across from me.

Noah took over the conversation, very modest, and for the sake of my face, he explained to Ying Li very tactfully: "It just so happens that I want to eat meat steak recently, and I feel that I am bored eating in a restaurant, so I want to ask Jijia to come along, so that the atmosphere will be better, but I'm sorry to disturb your date today." ”

Ying Li smiled faintly at Noah and said, "It's okay, speaking of which, I would like to thank you for this sumptuous lunch." ”

Noah tidied up some of the sweat-soaked curls on his forehead a little, and then turned his head and asked Becky, who was sitting next to him, "Did you encounter something interesting on the way that caused you to be delayed?"

"It's not that pesky slingboot ghost yet, I've got to find a way to get rid of him!" Becky propped the elbow of her left arm on the table, took a sip of the water glass, and then felt a little helpless.

I know that the nasty hanging boot ghost in her mouth refers to Quentin, and I remember that when I first arrived in the imperial capital, when I met Ying Li at the gate of the imperial capital junior magic academy, I had some conflicts with him, and we haven't seen each other since then. Ying Li doesn't want me to get involved in too many grievances with this kind of aristocratic gentleman in the imperial capital, after all, they are the head snakes of the local forces in the imperial capital, and their family backgrounds are very strong, and if the grievances are too deep, it is inevitable that I will suffer, so I have always wanted to get rid of Quentin's entanglement before coming to the appointment.
