Chapter 47 Pattern
Harvey went backstage at the theater, found the location of Kenneth's prop house from the staff, knocked on the wooden door and got a quick response.
Kenneth himself came to open the wooden door, still wearing a linen robe out of step with the times, and looked tired and heavy. After Harvey entered, Kenneth found something and stopped to look at him, and the old face of the gully showed a deep doubt, and asked in a trembling voice of some surprise and disbelief: "Mr. Adrian, what have you encountered during this time!?" I can feel a significant change in you and... Spell Remnant!? โ
Harvey was stunned, took off his hat and smiled: "Dear Mr. Randolph, I have been studying the knowledge you gave me about spells, and if there is any change, it is the change that magic has given me. โ
Kenneth shook his head resolutely, "You said you have mastered the basic knowledge of spell casting?" It's ridiculous, if it were that simple, the caster wouldn't be so high! He stared at Harvey until he felt uncomfortable, and then said slowly, "But you can see traces of spells on you. โ
Can you still see this thing?
Harvey was suspicious and asked, there were really spells for detecting spells and sensing spirits, but Kenneth's perception of Harvey's changes was entirely based on his personal experience, he had lived in the circle of spellcasters for decades, and this was still a human eye.
Kenneth stared at Harvey with a reluctant smile, "Mr. Adrian, can you cast a spell in front of me?" This is a bit hard for me personally, I thought it would take you at least ten years to get started, but now you can cast spells before you learn the astral script. โ
"You've helped me, of course." Harvey took a few steps back, stretched out his right hand and whispered, the emerald green light converging on the tip of his right finger, then turning into a green crystal viper spitting letters at Kenneth.
First-Order Spell [Poisonous Bite]
Without the aid of a wand and spell-casting materials, Harvey was already proficient in casting first-order spells, Kenneth rubbed his eyes, and could only express his ghostly mood with the eyes of a monster, he asked with some concern as if he thought of something: "Mr. Adrian, please forgive me for my rude question, have you ever used forbidden magic?" Only forbidden magic can make an ordinary person a spellcaster in a matter of days. โ
"Forbidden magic? What is forbidden magic. Harvey crushed the viper with a clench of his right hand, intrigued by the words that popped up and understood the meaning even if he listened to the literal meaning.
Kenneth looked at Harvey's interested look and explained with a solemn face: "Oh! I'm so rude, and I'm so suspicious because the founder of your family, Mr. Adrian, had rumours about this, and I could often hear rumors of him collaborating with the royal family to develop forbidden magic for some time before his disappearance. There is no actual term for forbidden magic, and I can't say what forbidden magic is, and many years ago there was no such thing as forbidden magic, until some high-level spellcasters realized that certain spells would have great adverse effects and began to limit the development of some spells. โ
The definition of forbidden magic is to cause great adverse consequences, Harvey thought for a moment and shook his head decisively: "I do have some secrets, but it is certainly not the result of using so-called forbidden magic. โ
Harvey thought to himself that Kenneth's statement that Adrian's family had been exposed to forbidden magic, and that his grandfather Adrian and his parents were both considered dead because of their disappearance, and that it could not be a coincidence. He didn't clearly explain the reason for his change, and Kenneth certainly wouldn't ask any more questions, which is not a good habit for a spellcaster to get to the bottom of it.
After chatting for a while, Harvey leaned over and explained his intentions: "Mr. Randolph, I have come to visit you this time to learn more about magic from you. โ
Kenneth shook his head self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a mid-rank spellcaster myself, and I can only tell you a little scratch about it. โ
Harvey smiled and bowed, "That's exactly what I was hoping for." โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Kenneth saw Harvey's sincerity and did not refuse, slowly explaining to him that there is common sense about spellcasters in this world at present, and Harvey occasionally asks some questions and will get detailed answers.
In this world, the casters of spells in ancient times were no different from gods, moving mountains and reclaiming seas, and at that time there were all kinds of intelligent life in the world, including elves, dragons, dwarves, demons inhabiting the abyss were not uncommon, and even some elemental life that was unimaginable to ordinary people often appeared. That era is called the Age of Mythology, because the deeds are so exaggerated that ordinary people have already regarded that era as myths and legends.
At present, in the eyes of the caster, the whole world is divided into two parts, one is the western continent where the Kingdom of Baron is located, where there are many kingdoms without the constraints of a powerful empire, and ordinary people are very suitable for living here. However, this place is not suitable for spellcasters to survive, as early as thousands of years ago, the aether elements of this continent continued to weaken for unknown reasons, and the spell network covering the western continent became fragile, which meant that it was impossible to complete major magic experiments and cast high-level spells in the western continent.
Because of the loss of the aether element, the overall environment of the Western Continent has become peaceful, and the slightly more powerful demonic beasts have either died or fled here over time. The same is true for spellcasters, who can count the number of high-ranking mages on one hand if they look at the entire kingdom of Barron.
There are seven levels of casters, last, lower, middle, upper, in-situ, title, domain, and monarch, and the eight levels are divided into seven levels that are common sense in the eyes of spellcasters, and the last caster is also known as a magic apprentice, belonging to the bottom class of spellcasters, and basically cannot be regarded as a spellcaster.
If some people who can play tricks are called spellcasters, the title of spellcaster is too cheap.
The division of the caster class is not entirely based on the strength of the caster, with the popularization of spell knowledge and the standardization of spellcasters, the conflict and resource competition between spellcasters is no longer as fierce as in ancient times, and now the level of a spellcaster is judged by two important factors: his personal strength and his contribution to the magic world.
There may be a caster who is identified as an in-situ caster because of his strength, there may be an apprentice magician who is recognized as a title caster because he published a paper that had a significant impact on spells, and there may be those who are not good enough to teach many excellent students and are considered monarchs.
These are far away for Harvey now, and the only place in the entire Barron Kingdom that can have a slight contact with the wizarding world is the capital, because there is a branch of the [Wizards' Guild], the largest spellcaster organization in the world.
The capital of the Kingdom of Barron is completely different from ordinary cities, as a core meeting point of the kingdom's economy, culture, and politics, where it is easy to find a spellcaster, you can buy magical magic items from the Eastern Continent and magazines and books of famous spellcasters in the store, and you can also see some sub-races that are usually difficult to contact.
Kenneth's advice to Harvey is that if you want to continue to develop in magic, you should first go to the capital of the Kingdom of Barron to open your eyes, where you can get in touch with the knowledge of papers on spells, get in touch with the formal spellcaster organization, and if you do well, you can also strive to become a royal mage, and get the magic workshop and experimental materials provided by the kingdom.
