Rostri strode into the room, his white beard quivering slightly with his steps. After greeting everyone, he walked straight to Vane's bedside, looked at the chicken roll in Vane's hand and teased: "You are recovering well, it seems that your little friend took good care of you, and you were still in a coma when I sent you back in the afternoon." After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and a smile appeared on his face, and the wrinkles on his thin face looked even more.

"Minister Rostry, eat some too. Ace handed the vegetable platter to Rostry.

"Thank you, but I'm old and can't eat much. As he spoke, he grabbed two Chiyan raspberries on the plate and put them in his mouth, and then said, "I want to be back then...... Hey, I'm just here to see Wayne. Okay, I won't bother you young people. With that, he walked out the door.

Smelling the aroma of the chicken rolls, Vane's saliva was about to flow down after he hadn't eaten for a day, and he took a big bite hard, and it tasted really good!

When Vane woke up again in a daze, the sky was white. He moved his body, and although it was still a little sore, it didn't affect his movements. He got dressed and sat down at the table, habitually taking out the copy of "Observations of the Wizarding World". There is no writing on the cover of the book, and the title of the book was told to him by his uncle. I don't know what material the cover is painted with simple and delicate lines, and there is a circle of small gems set near the edge.

For as long as Vane can remember, the book has been sitting on the bookshelf in his uncle's room, and the myriad creatures and magic described inside hold his heart. I don't know how many times the book has been turned over, and in Vane's impression there have been many times when the pages have been torn off, but strangely enough, it is still intact and brand new.

Flipping through the pages, Vane noticed that something was wrong, he remembered that the previous description of the forest spirit was not particularly clear, after all, this kind of strange beast was difficult to see. But now there are not only more detailed descriptions of forest spirits, but also several more accompanying pictures, one of which is the forest covered with wisteria flowers, and the following description is "the residence of forest spirits".

Could it be that I am mistaken? Or is this a book that will record itself? But it seems a little hard to believe.

While he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Standing in the doorway was Minister Rostry, dressed in a wide grey linen robe, and looked good, as if the wrinkles on his face had been reduced considerably.

"Good, looks like you're pretty much recovered. He looked at Vane with a smile, paused and continued, "How about it, Vane, how about accompanying me, an old man, for a walk outside?"

Outside, the sky was slightly bright, the air was a little damp and cold, and the two of them went out from the east gate of the city all the way to an open woodland. The endless forest in the distance is even more mysterious under the mist.

"Vane, I heard you're going to the Floating City to find your uncle?" Rostry, as he walked.

"Yes, Felder and I are going to save up enough money and set off for Casali. Vane replied.

"So, Vane, do you know what the nature of magic, the Force, or mechanical power is?" said Rostry, pausing and looking into the distance.

"Is it energy?" replied to Rosetri's leaping mind, which made Wayne a little unable to keep up.

"That's right, they're all a kind of energy. The teachers of the magic academy must have told you that there are three elements to casting magic, your own spiritual power, or magic power, the source of magic around you, generally speaking, is the magic particles in the air, and various magic herbs, and you also need to chant spells to trigger magic, and use the staff to channel energy out. But actually—" Rostryy said, flipped his left wrist upward, and a flame suddenly appeared above his palm.

Vane looked at the scene in front of him and opened his mouth wide and rubbed his eyes vigorously, which was simply unheard of.

"Magical herbs are more like spices in cooking, you can make rice without spices, but it is difficult to swallow, and the source of magic is the ingredients around us, this kind of ingredients are limited, sometimes even none, the most basic and crucial is its own magic power, it is the most primitive power of magic, and it is also the soul of the magician. This is not to say that the mage's equipment and medicinal materials are not important, but to make a good dish, spices and enough ingredients are also necessary. Rostri said slowly.

Vane stood silently and didn't speak, but a storm rolled through his brain. If these words were placed in the Academy of Magic, I am afraid that it would cause an uproar. He felt as if another door had opened in his world, though it was still far from being touched.

"Magical energy can be converted into Force and mechanical force through a force guide, but not vice versa. Before the Battle of the Worlds, the mages pursued powerful magic spells and treasures while neglecting the cultivation of their own mana, which was the main reason for the final fiasco. ”

"Minister Rostry, these words of yours have indeed benefited me a lot, but what does it have to do with me going to Floating City?" Vane wondered.

"Over there, it's the Everfree Forest. Rostri continued to walk forward, pointed to the dense forest in the distance with his staff, and said in a somewhat serious tone: "The area of the entire Endless Forest is larger than that of the Kingdom of Sebeika, and no one knows what kind of beast is hidden in the deepest depths. ”

"For many years, the humans of Obohar and the beasts of the forest did not interfere with the water of the river. But in the last month or so, more and more travelers have been ambushed on their way to and from Obojar, and farmers around the forest have been repeatedly attacked. Rostri said with a frown.

After a pause, he continued: "What worries me the most is the news from the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, this situation seems to be happening in many parts of the Ralphre continent, and the alien beasts have become more ferocious, some of them are in different places, and they don't even know what killed them. Headquarters has also sent a lot of magicians to investigate. ”

Vane listened as he could, which was in little accord with what he had received from Bard Hill, who seemed to understand what Minister Rostry meant.

Suddenly, Rostry's figure froze, his right hand stretched out, and he held his staff across his chest to protect Vane.

"Rustle", something moved quickly in the grass, and the sound came from all directions.

It was a group of giant spiders, each the size of a basin, with dark red spots on their dark fur bellies, eight long legs moving alternately, and a pair of chelica in front of their heads stained with sticky venom that dripped down from time to time. If you take a bite, I am afraid it will not be very comfortable.

The circle of spiders was shrinking rapidly, and the rustling of countless spider legs made Vane feel his scalp tingle.
