Although he was a war officer, it took Ryan most of the day to clean up Lancedel's lab, cleaning up the lab bench that had just survived an explosion but was still intact, and Ryan's eyes were fixed on the heavy books under the desk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Introduction to Alchemy", "The History of Human Magic", "Detailed Explanation of the Magic Web", "Must Read for Spellcasters"...

Except for the top book on alchemy, which was opened, the rest were basically related to the introduction to magic, which was also necessary to embark on the path of a mage, and it was the basic knowledge that Ryan lacked now.

Ryan looked at the pile of books in a daze, he knew that no matter how boring the legendary mentor was, he would not be able to spend time on these things that he had already mastered, and it was obvious that this was reserved for his apprentice.

But when he thought of Ransdell's unkindness just now, Ryan was still a little confused. The Mentor's disgust before he left was clearly captured by his eyes, and he knew very well that this Lancedel did not like himself, or his half-elf status.

However, if you look at it, you won't get pregnant. Ryan wasn't the kind of person who let opportunities slip away in front of him, and while he couldn't guess what Lancedel was thinking, it didn't stop him from taking the opportunity to learn.

In order to prevent being misunderstood by his mentor, Ryan simply sat down in the laboratory and slowly opened the door to magic.

Once upon a time, the elves had taken over almost the entire world of Ariel, and when the short-lived humans had just established a monarchical civilization, they turned to the elves for an even more powerful ruling power, which was magic.

This mystical power soon became popular among the upper classes. In addition, the magic web at that time was not as restrictive as it is now, so that the power of arcane has long surpassed the peak of the world.

Although the power of magic was more difficult to control than it is now, there were still a large number of arcanists in the upper classes, and the political system of absolute monarchy remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Later, a group of mages found the long-sealed Ether Scroll in the ruins of the Golden Elves, and the Arcanists understood that the power of magic did not come from the gods, and it also ushered in the Ether Age, the most prosperous era of human magic, and a large number of great Arcanists with the strength of the gods emerged. The sheer power has made most of the Grand Arcanists arrogant, and they all agree that "the so-called gods are just powerful arcanists." ”

In order to reap the benefits of more magical powers, a Grand Arcanist named Casas set his sights on the web. After years of research by the arrogant Grand Arcanist, he successfully cast the Twelve Rings spell, the Casas Divine Magic. As for whether he succeeded in becoming a god, no one knows, the only thing left is the fall of a generation of magic goddess Mithrin, and the moment the magic net collapsed, and the entire Netherel Empire fell apart.

Eventually, Mystra, the second-generation goddess of magic born from the magic web, stabilized the magic web, severely restricted the mage's ability to cast spells, and completely closed the path for the mage to contact the spells above the nine rings.

To this day, the fall of Netherel has made it clear to people the power of magic. It can keep you on top or it can make you go up in the dust.

At the same time, this also made the mages understand that the goddess of magic does not exist to serve mortals, but more to balance and protect the magic web, so that many mages later left a record of exploring the magic web.

The magic net is not a tool, it is a system, and it is also the manifestation of rules. Its birth has long been impossible to study, but its benefits can be appreciated by every mage. It is a bridge between all spellcasters and magic, and even gods are difficult to bypass. It is precisely because of its importance that successfully connecting to the magic web is the foundation of proficiency that must be used as a spellcaster.

A complete spell usually goes through multiple steps, connecting to a web to obtain the required mana, transforming the mana through specific spells and materials, and then casting it according to its function, and finally completing the spell.

Connecting to the magic net is the most basic step for the caster, and its importance is self-evident, and it is also the best label to prove the identity of the caster.

If Ryan wants to become a true mage, connecting to the web is his first step.

Putting down the heavy book for a moment, Ryan rubbed the back of his neck that was a little sore, and looked up to see that the sky had become pitch black. This feeling of time like an arrow reminded him of his youthful student days, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Although it was getting late, Ryan had no intention of resting because of the excitement in his heart. The room that had just been cleaned was fairly clean, and Ryan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and slowly cleared his mind.

Except for creatures with innate spell-casting abilities, all other creatures that connect to the magic web need to be perceived through chance, or most conventionally, through meditation.

Meditation can be said to be a spellcaster's greatest asset, not only can it speed up the reset of spell slots with the help of meditation, but even powerful spellcasters can use it to achieve the same effect as an out-of-body soul. The reason why elves are rich in mages is because they are born to meditate instead of sleep, not only the quality of rest far exceeds that of humans, but their affinity between magic and nature is also exceptional.

Although Ryan has half elven blood, he is still a little confused at the moment. According to the book, meditation is the best way to communicate with all things in the world, and entering meditation is attainable by every intelligent being. But the phrase 'empty your mind and feel with your heart' is so ethereal that Ryan, a materialist, really can't find resonance.

As time passed, the chaotic thoughts in his mind became more and more, and due to the deliberate suppression, Ryan's tense body gradually could not support it, and the sweat was like a waterfall, and in the blink of an eye, his clothes were soaked.

Perhaps tired, Ryan's muscles gradually relaxed, and tiredness came to his heart like a tidal wave. Can't sleep! Falling asleep is a failure! Biting the tip of his tongue hard, under the concentration, the infinitely amplified severe pain was like a bolt of lightning, which broke out from the mouth in an instant, the exhaustion was fleeting, and the indescribable clarity filled the entire brain.

See! Different from using eyes, meditation seems to be free, but it is difficult, the surrounding space seems to be covered with a thick black veil, and there is only a piece of darkness left beyond three meters of the body, but the light blue streamer floating around makes Ryan still extremely excited! Familiar taste, familiar glow, this is, magic!

With Ryan's thoughts, his perception was attracted by the streamer of magical power, and he instantly rushed into it, and the blue streamer magnified at an extremely fast speed, and his surroundings were soon covered with blue light spots the size of rice grains.

Gentle magic seemed to sense his presence, constantly surrounding him. Although Ryan couldn't use these magic powers without connecting to the magic net, he was still thrilled by the success of the meditation.

As stated in the book, most of the magic that wanders through Ariel has become extremely gentle through the filtering of the magic web. And if you want to connect to the magic web, you only need to pass through these filtered magic powers.

Pulling out a trace of perception, Ryan cautiously approached the magic light point beside him, and as the distance between the two sides became shorter and shorter, the light point seemed to be impatient, and under Ryan's consternation, it slammed into him!

Rumble! An explosion suddenly sounded in his mind, and Ryan seemed to have embarked on a faster-than-light journey, and everything in front of him was instantly stretched! When Ryan was already feeling dizzy, he suddenly found that everything in front of him finally stopped, and he was floating above Ariel. He saw the Bright Star Fort buried in the thick fog, the farm at the foot of the mountain at the beginning of the lanterns, the prosperous and splendid Odurin, and even the city of Horncreek thousands of miles away...

As his body rose into the air, the outline of the land in front of him gradually remained, and when Ryan was about to set foot in the void, an unfamiliar message suddenly connected to his perception. Magic Web!

Just as he was excited to find out, the scene around him stretched again, and the surroundings were instantly filled with dazzling brilliant streamers.

Jecob, still dressed in a black robe, looked eerie with a black scythe, and beside him, a man bathed in golden light couldn't see his face clearly. When Ryan tried to get closer, there was a sudden fierce pull above his head, and the scene in front of him changed again in a blink of an eye.

Unable to see his face, unable to distinguish race and gender, and covered in white light, even if he didn't know anything, Ryan felt his name, God on God, AO!

"Boy, why don't you go back to the dorm?" Seeing AO suddenly turn into a middle-aged uncle with blond hair, Ryan was stunned for a long time, and with a sharp pain on the top of his head, a dazzling white light completely overwhelmed him.

"I'm finally awake." Seeing Ryan lying on the ground, Ryan finally opened his eyes, took out a silver coin from his waist and threw it at Ryan, "Go to the cafeteria and eat something, if you starve to death in my lab, it will affect my enthusiasm for production." ”

Rubbing the swollen bag on the top of his head, Ryan, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed, and after seeing the surrounding scenery clearly, he finally reacted. So I fell asleep?!

"Why are you still stunned? Get out of here and don't get in the way of my experiments. Glancing at Ryan, who was still sitting on the ground, Lancedell seemed impatient.

"Ah, oh, right now." Ryan, who originally wanted to experiment to see if he could connect to the magic net, came back to his senses, glanced at the white sunlight outside the door, picked up the silver coin and quickly left the laboratory.

Silently looking at Ryan's distant back, Lancedell picked up the heavy book he had just left behind, and slammed it shut, only to see that there was nothing on the surface, except for a strange black magic circle imprinted, and a blue light flashed from it inadvertently, but there was nothing unusual when he looked closely, as if it was just an illusion.

"It's funny, it's so fast, Philip, you really found an amazing student." An eerie smile appeared on his stiff face, and his slightly bulging pointed ears peeked out of the stray blonde as Lancedell pulled the hair back from his forehead.
