After Ein Rand guided him through the meditation for the first time, Loren once again experienced this strange feeling, as if all the information around him had turned into simple messages and symbols, and he could still "see" and feel it even though it was dark in front of him.

The process of constructing the magic array is similar to reconstructing one's own spiritual temple - only this time it is not the consciousness of the spiritual level, but in the real world, guiding the power of the void to "distort" the surroundings and fabricate a "range" that should not exist at all.

It was already late at night outside, and only the cold moonlight penetrated through the cracks in the window, and the sea breeze from the harbor whistled outside the window, wailing like a ghost, and it was fleeting.

Standing in the center of the room, Loren closed his eyes tightly and raised his left hand slightly, the pitch-black "spellcaster" hidden in the dimly lit room, and only the red lines on it could be faintly seen.

Loren hadn't used it since he arrived at Ebolden, after all, the "caster" was almost the hallmark of the Night's Watch - though the black-haired wizard was more familiar with it than the "heart of the tree" given to him by the little wizard.

A torrent of consciousness surged back and forth on both the spiritual and physical levels, and the black-haired wizard slowly opened his eyes, calming his restless heart. In the face of the void, any negligence and agitation can cost one's own life.

Good swimmers drowning, even if they succeed a thousand times, must still be cautious. With his usual patience, Loren gently opened his left hand, and a faint blue rune appeared in the center of his palm.

In the next instant, the runes dripped like water droplets, spreading "ripples" under Loren's feet, and the liquid that emitted gray-blue light slowly condensed into the pattern of the nine-pointed star as if it had life.

The basic choice of the nine-pointed star as the magic array was not accidental, just like the nine-pointed star wizard tower was not just because of its beauty, or because it really had some special habits, so it was regarded as a symbol of wizards.

"Nine" is the limit of change, and the nine-pointed star composed of three triangles also means endless changes and dynamics, indescribable, inexplicable, and unexplorable, which is also the essence of the void.

The ring that surrounds the nine-pointed star represents the existence of "matter" - not a linear progression, but a ring-like alternation, where everything has its own time, and it rejuvenates and declines together.

Therefore, the nine-pointed star chart itself is a perfect interpretation of the "sorcerer" being, connecting spirit and matter, and applying knowledge and power to itself.

And here, Loren made a "small" change to the nine-pointed star, in short, a second layer of rings was added to the original nine-pointed star ring, so that the whole pattern seemed to be set in the center by a hollow circle.

The black-haired wizard gently recited the obscure incantation, and the complicated runes were like lit candles, appearing in the center of the two rings one after another, and the void power that turned into gray-blue light gradually condensed, and even the rhythm in it could be clearly felt.

"Turin fire—!"

Golden-red flames poured out from the nine-pointed star at his feet, converging into the shape of a fireball like a flowing liquid, and then the gray-blue magic array disappeared.

Well...... This method of casting spells can indeed greatly reduce the erosion of the void on the body, and the consumption of energy has not increased significantly, and at the same time, the power of high-level spells has been increased, and the only drawback may be that the casting time is a little long.

However, with the help of skillful use, the time is not a problem - and more importantly, this new way to directly use high-level spells that they have not memorized is a boon for spellcasters......!

"I have a small question. ”

The young man, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly tilted his head in confusion, propped his right hand on his chin, and his ruby eyes blinked: "Why do you want to have two rings, just to put the condensed spell inside?"

"It's ...... A small change of mine. Loren shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "You must know that human beings are different from yours, and a certain degree of rules can ensure that our rationality will not be eroded by the void......"

"My dear Loren, don't explain. The young man suddenly looked at him with very "pity": "You just have an obsessive-compulsive seizure, right?"

“......”

"Or is it some particular fetish that turns you on to seeing something regular?"

“...... Well, that's OCD. ”

In the face of the forces of evil, Loren chose to raise his hands in surrender - the black-haired wizard decided not to deal with this vulgar man for Asriel, who did not understand art or beauty.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A slight knock came from outside, and Loren immediately put away the "spellcaster", walked over and opened the door as if nothing had happened, and the innkeeper who still had a slight smile on his face came into his sight:

"I'm sorry, but there's a wizard out there claiming to be your friend. May I let him in?"

.................. "I'm Peter Fasa, do you know me?"

The young wizard, who had a cheerful aura from the inside out, stood outside the door with a big smile on his face. Loren had to admit that he did have a moment of astonishment when he saw him.

"Uh...... Of course I know, what's the matter?"

"That's right, I ...... you on behalf of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower" Before he could finish speaking, Peter's round eyes suddenly turned to the side!

Asrael, who had been looking lazy on the shelf, immediately felt the gaze of someone staring at him, and turned around like a fried sparrow to fly away, but was still stopped by the figure.

"Is this your pet?" Peter, who was lying under the shelf, kept looking as if he had seen a new world, and Asrael, who was staring straight at him, turned his head desperately, but he couldn't avoid the sight of this guy.

"Questions?"

"Questions? Of course there is, and ...... I don't even know how to describe it!" the young wizard exclaimed excitedly, his words and actions exaggerated to the extreme:

"This kind of black-feathered eagle is unprecedented-!!!"

“......”

Loren, who was silent, silently let go of the left hand that had been holding the "bright silver".

"I mean, look at the color of its coat, it's so pure black that even the purest of black-feathered eagles rarely possess it, and it's almost streamlined, with its sharp hooks, its perfect feather shape...... Most importantly, these ruby-like eyes, pure and immaculate, do you know how rare this is?!"

Well, it's as rare as a vampire, Loren replied silently in his heart.

Asrael, who was desperately trying to dodge just now, slowly raised his head after listening to Peter's words, and raised his wings proudly, lazily and leisurely, as if he was a noble young master.

The "understanding" young wizard immediately took out a delicate goose feather brush from his robe and carefully cleaned the dust from his feathers.

"Although it is a bit presumptuous to ask this, may I ask which discipline you are majoring in?" Loren, who looked at it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm a herbalist major, some alchemy, and an apothecary in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower. Peter replied, his hands still concentrating on dusting Asriel, "But these animals are more interesting to me than the boring things!"

"Alas, I almost forgot that there was something important!" Suddenly remembering the purpose of his visit, Peter Fasha, who looked apologetic, quickly stood up and handed a letter to Loren: "On behalf of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, I will give you this invitation." ”

"Invitations?"

"To be precise, it's Master Robert Freiswalker's credentials to get into his house. Peter shrugged his shoulders: "Master Freiswalker is not only an expert in the occult, but also unsurpassed in the study of spells!"

On top of that, he's one of the people you're going to be in charge of the test in three days' time, so you'd like to see him first, right?"
