After dinner, Susan's mother agreed with Ray that the class would start at eight o'clock in the evening, so that the work at the hotel should be completed as soon as possible, so that she could leave before eight o'clock.

Rein went to the inn to help entertain the guests and pack up their things. Dinner was very busy, and Rein kept running around the store, so that Phil didn't have time to pick his thorns.

At 7:45 p.m., fifteen minutes before the start of the lecture. By this time, most of the guests had already left, and only four or five tables of guests were still eating. Rein cleaned the table with a rag and thought he should be able to get to the study at eight o'clock.

At this time, the conversation of a guest who had just sat down at a table drifted into his ears, and a somewhat shrill man's voice said, "Have you heard, the crusade of the Three Kingdoms Alliance against Juejun has failed!" ”

A female voice and a deep male voice sounded: "Won't it?!" Where did you hear that, don't be scary! ”

"yes, that's no joke."

The shrill male voice said: "It is true, a relative of mine who lives on the East China Sea saw it with his own eyes, and he specially used an owl to pass the book to me!" Don't you know, the hundred warships of the Three Kingdoms Alliance that went to sea before, including the Super Magic Guided Battleship Sacred White Tree, which represents the highest combat power of the Silver Empire, the Heavenly Fire Emperor who is fully armed in the Loxia Empire, the Storm Black Dragon that has been crisscrossing the sea for decades in the Black Salt Empire, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which almost represents the highest combat power of our Nora Continent, were defeated by the Vault Dwellers on the seventh day after the start of the crusade against the Isle of the Vault Dweller, that is, the Lord County! Countless warship wrecks and countless corpses of the human coalition have floated across the sea! The sea is turning red! Tsk, that scene is scary to think about! ”

The female voice nervously asked, "It's terrifying, isn't it?" If this is true, why hasn't there been an official release yet? ”

The shrill male voice said, "Hey, how can the results of defeat be announced so quickly, the Empire is actively deploying to blockade the coastal borders, preparing for an attack by the Vault Dweller army from the sea. Look at it, soon there will be official news that the whole country will be under martial law! ”

The deep male voice said, "If that's the case, we'll ......."

Rein was listening intently to the sudden news, when a voice came into his ears: "Rein! What are you doing? Come here! ”

Phil's slightly angry cry made Rein startled, and he quickly responded, "Oh, I'll come here!" ”

Rein finished by wiping the table twice with a rag and walked briskly to Phil at the front desk.

Phil said with a cold face: "Pay attention to your behavior, don't be in a daze during work hours, you have to remember that your performance directly affects the image of our warm fireplace!" ”

Lei Yin knew that he was wrong, and was attracted by the sudden big event, and replied with a red face: "Yes." I won't next time. ”

Phil put the account book in the drawer, slammed it shut, and said, "Don't clean it up, Mother Susan told you to go to the study." ”

Rein looked at the clock hanging on the wall and replied, "Okay, I'll go over right away." Rein took the tray and towel to the backstage and put them away, exhaled, and walked to the study on the second floor.

At this time, Zhuona was holding her chin on the high platform at the front desk, watching Phil leave with interest and Rain, with a little angry expression.

Phil waited for Rein to disappear, turned his head, and suddenly saw Zhuona smiling at her at the front desk, and was startled: "You, why are you scary?!" ”

Zhuo Na smiled slightly, her eyes completed a crescent, and said, "Why are you so strict with Rein?" Where did he mess with you, Miss? ”

Phil's delicate face flushed a little, and he said in disapproval: "I, how can I treat each newcomer differently, I am so strict with every newcomer." ”

Zhuona said, "Then why are you blushing?" Oh, I see—"

"You talk nonsense, how can I blush! What do you know again?! Phil huffed, but her feigned anger was of no use to the cotton-skinned Zona.

Zhuo Na said with a teasing expression: "I heard that a girl will deliberately get angry with a boy she secretly likes and doesn't dare to confess, in order to get his attention, you won't be ......"

"Zona!" Phil was really angry and blushing now, she kicked her high heels, and was about to go out of the front desk to teach this open-mouthed woman a lesson.

Zhuo Na hurriedly dodged away, and continued while retreating strategically: "You can't chase and fight in the hotel, make noise and noise, and affect the image of the hotel - disciplinary committee, can you know the law and break the law, hehe~"

Phil looked at the guests in the inn, couldn't help but stop, no longer chased out, and stomped his feet in anger on the spot.

Dzona made a triumphant gesture towards Phil and ran to the kitchen.

Phil stood still, reacting a little strangely to himself.

Why does it make you want to be angry for no reason when you see Rein? Was it because Susan's mother let him into the inn without consulting her, or because he had dark, deep eyes that looked harmless to humans and animals? Phil didn't know the answer to his question for a while.

Naturally, Rein, who was walking on the stairs, didn't know what was happening in the hall. As he walked, he thought about the chat of the customers in the store, as if something big was going to happen in this green world, which not only reminded him of what Granny Gloria had said in the afternoon: "Green Weilan is about to usher in great changes, get ready for the challenge." "Could it be that she is referring to the fact that the Lord will counterattack?

Rein thought wildly, and after a while he was outside the study.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Rein knocked on the study door.

"Come in, the door isn't closed." Susan's mother's voice came from the study.

Rein opened the door and pushed it back into the study.

This study is not large, with five bookshelves and books, a long table against the wall on the right is full of all kinds of magic paths, and a table near the window on the left has a number of children's objects, which should be Emily's exclusive table. Susan's mother sat at a significantly larger table, looking at the open book.

In the middle of the study is a magic array painted on the ground, with a circular outer frame, and horizontal and diagonal lines are intertwined in the frame, which has an artistic sense of geometric art.

Rein came to the big table and called out, "Mother Susan." ”

Aunt Susan looked up and said, "Sit down." It's been a long time since I've taught magic to anyone other than Emily, and I'm reviewing the Beginner's Magic Tutorial. ”

Rein pulled out a chair and sat down, Aunt Susan put together the introductory magic tutorial, pushed it in front of Rein, and continued: "Keep this book well, read it carefully, it explains in detail what magic is, how to perceive and learn magic, this tutorial is enough for newcomers." ”

Rein looked at the old cover of "Introduction to Magic", resisted the urge to open it, and listened carefully to Aunt Susan.

Aunt Susan asked, "Rein, what do you know about magic?" Or rather, do you know what magic looks like? ”

Rein replied truthfully: "I'm sorry, but I really have a superficial impression of magic, just see others use it, or have heard that magic has many kinds, and it can bring people all kinds of convenience." As for what magic is, I don't know anything. ”

Aunt Susan said, "Admitting your ignorance is the first step to knowledge, and you answered it well." What is magic, I'm afraid no one can sum it up in one sentence in its entirety. ”

"Do you define magic......" Rein's heart.

Aunt Susan said, "Some people divide magic into four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire, and advocate that all magic is a variant of the four elements of magic; Some people classify magic as a kind of force, and the force of knights and the strength of mortals are classified as the realm of force; There are also people who break down magic, believing that magic is made up of "magic factors", and that all magic is a phenomenon formed by the movement and collision of magic factors. Until now, there has not been a fully authoritative body that has given a perfect definition of magic. ”

"Each statement is true and incorrect, but in general, people are divided into the three main types I just mentioned, and most people will choose one as the entry point to feel the existence of magic. Because all three ideas have guided many magicians, all three theories are supported. According to the three characteristics of learning magic, they are called: "Elemental Magic", "Magic", and "Magic Factor". ”

Rein nodded silently as he listened to Aunt Susan's explanation. Aunt Susan in front of her is completely different from her in the kitchen during the day, if she takes off her apron, changes into a magic robe, and puts on a mage hat, she is a magic teacher who can teach students, but she may be a little too tall...... Rein was a little curious about what Aunt Susan had been up to.

Aunt Susan continued, "Generally speaking, the magic test is to select the right method for a person to learn magic through special magic and mental tests. In the Green Weilan Continent, children are generally allowed to take magic tests at the age of five, and determine the path of learning magic as early as possible, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort. Some people can easily perceive magic in the form of earth, water, fire, and wind, and mobilize magic power through practice and spirit, and these people are suitable for learning magic with "elemental magic". Some people simply and directly regard magic as a perceptible force like brawnness, and simplify complex magic analysis to intuitive perception of magic, such people are suitable for learning magic with simple and crude "magic mechanics". Others microcosmic magic by slicing, like the relationship between dust and earth. I don't know much about this method, so I can't tell you too much. ”

Rein asked a little curiously, "Then Susan, which way do you use?" ”

Susan's mother smiled and said, "I like cooking, and I like simple truths, and I use a combination of fire and magic perception. ”

Rein looked like he had seen it and said, "It turns out that it can be like this." ”

Aunt Susan said: "The three ways are just the methods that people have summarized and made it easier for future generations to learn magic, and how to perceive magic and use magic depends on each person's own understanding." ”

Rein asked, "So how do I get started?" ”

Aunt Susan took a bean out of a drawer and said, "Start with this bean." ”
