"In the process of carving the magic array, the first step for the carver is to perceive the magic power, because the carving of the magic circle is essentially to guide the magic attached to the magic stone reasonably, so that the magic power flows along the route we want."

"So before channeling the magic, we first have to perceive the flow of the magic."

Lei Yang remembered what Master Priest had said earlier—it was extremely difficult for him to do as far as his memory was concerned.

But he was still distressed.

Because he really doesn't understand...... What exactly is the flow of magic.

In fact, he didn't even know what magic was.

He is an excellent boy who has been bathed in the light of socialism since he was a child and has accepted the transformation of the materialist dialectic, so he really can't understand magic as a fundamentally illusory thing.

He is not good at thinking, and he doesn't like to think, and the things he thinks about on weekdays are basically left to his sister Ruoya to do.

But this time, because the crisis of being swept away by the master was really imminent, even he had to think about it.

Magic...... It should sound similar to wind, water, and fire, all of which are a type of energy.

But why is good energy called magic?

Is there any difference between magic and energy?

Lei Yang's intelligence is really limited, so he gets stuck when he thinks about it.

He picked up a wind-based philosopher's stone on the table and stared at the cyan stone with wide eyes.

His eyes were so wide that they were slightly sour......

But the cyan stone was still just a cyan stone when it fell into his eyes, and Lei Yang couldn't see the lines and ripples produced by the magic flow that the master said at all.

Lei Yang suddenly felt that his hands were a little itchy, and he especially wanted to start carving a magic circle.

This feeling really startled him, and he quickly put his hands behind his back.

He knew that the reason why he felt this way was because he relied too much on the ability to be tempered - when he was learning a skill, he subconsciously wanted to force a problem through a lot of practice.

In other bosses' shops before, Lei Yang had always done this.

However, the owner of the magic supply shop strictly forbade him to use the materials for practice at will.

Lei Yang made a bitter face and lifted the philosopher's stone higher, and his eyes when he observed the philosopher's stone also widened.

……

"Perceiving magic?" Lei Yang nodded as if he didn't understand after hearing the master's explanation, but as soon as he nodded, he remembered another question, "But I heard that it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to perceive magic power, if the disciple is so talented that he can't feel the flow of magic power at all, then what should I do disciple?" ”

"That's just their layman's term...... Even if you don't have the talent of a mage, with hard work and a long period of experience, you can be no different from a mage in terms of perception. ”

……

"How can you perceive the flow of magic without the talent of a magician?" Lei Yang frowned, remembering what the master had said before, ordinary people could also be no different from mages in terms of perception by virtue of hard work and long-term experience accumulation.

Isn't that exactly what you're doing?

Isn't it just trying to master the skill of carving a circle by accumulating experience?

Master, he obviously said such things, so why did he deny his own practice?

Lei Yang was very puzzled, feeling that the master's approach was tantamount to asking him to paint on a stone that was not visible at all.

The stone was placed in an invisible position, and the master also forbade Lei Yang to go over the obstacles in front of him to observe the stone closely, only allowing him to draw blindly at the air in front of him.

It sounded like he was deliberately trying to embarrass him.

But Lei Yang thought about it again, and felt that the master's tone when he reprimanded him before sounded really thinking about himself, and he felt that the master really didn't look like a person who would deliberately embarrass his disciples.

So he began to think again, racking his brain.

But thinking about this is not something he is good at after all, and he has always been focused on doing things, and he has only been thinking about it for a long time, and he is attracted by the bustle in the hall of the magic supply store.

There are two children who came to the magic supply store, and it seems that they are very familiar with Nan Shui, a half-elf who works in the store, and they are pestering Nan Shui to give them some fun things at the moment.

Nan Shui was simple-minded, and he couldn't resist two stalker children, so he took two worthless gadgets from the supply store at random, and quietly put the money in the drawer of the weekday account collection according to the original price.

Although these two things are both in the name of magic supplies, if they are really discussed, they are really gadgets.

One is a stone carved in the shape of a monster, and from time to time the monster's mouth will spew bright flames, which looks a little hideous; The other is a small bamboo windmill that can move automatically without wind even when stationary.

Maybe these two gadgets really attracted Lei Yang's attention, or maybe Lei Yang really didn't want to think about it anymore at the moment, Lei Yang, who was usually not very interested in new things, suddenly glanced at these two things with interest at this moment, and then took the initiative to walk to the hall and asked the half-elf Nanshui:

"Are these two little things made of Philosopher's Stone?"

Nan Shui, who had just sent away the two children, was startled by the sudden sound behind her, and she turned around in shock to find that it was Lei Yang who was talking behind her.

The half-elf girl patted her full chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Lei Yang...... You scared me to death. ”

"I'm sorry, I was a little absorbed by it just now." Lei Yang touched his nose embarrassedly, "Trouble Nanshui, can you answer my question?" ”

"Oooh oh!! Good good! The cute Nanshui realized that he had ignored the other party's problem, and his pretty face suddenly turned red, "Brother Lei Yang, you guessed right...... The two gadgets just now were made of Philosopher's Stone, the fire-breathing monster statue was made of the fire-attribute Magic Stone as the core, and the bamboo windmill was made of the Wind Attribute Magic Stone as the core. ”

Lei Yang thought for a while, and realized that the flames and winds generated by magic seemed to be not much different from the flames and winds in nature.

So what exactly is magic?

Since the magic of the fire attribute can give birth to flames, why can't it be called fire instead of adding the suffix "magic"?

Thinking of this, Lei Yang suddenly remembered that Nan Shui in front of him seemed to be a talented magician, such a character must have an extremely deep understanding of magic, so it was better to ask her for advice.

So he bowed to Nan Shui and asked in a tone of inquiry, "Nan Shui, I want to ask, what kind of concept is magic?" ”

Nanshui was frightened by Lei Yang's humble posture of asking for advice, and repeatedly told the other party that he was only a shallow learner and couldn't afford Lei Yang's brother's expectations.

But when she heard Lei Yang's question, she was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then replied almost without any reaction time:

"Isn't magic a form of the convergence of the elements between heaven and earth?"

Nan Shui said it extremely casually, as if he was talking about something that was perfectly normal.
