CHAPTER XIII

The industry of this world is very backward, stone phosphorus is red phosphorus, this kind of phosphorus fire that needs to be ignited at a temperature of more than 200 degrees, has become the only material for low-level magicians to perform fire burning techniques, if it is a previous life, Rowan can even find at least a dozen kinds of things that can burn at a temperature of more than 100 degrees, this world is too backward.

Fire Burning is the magic that trainee magicians can learn, but it is actually not real magic, because the power is too low, it can only ignite flames, and it may be able to kill people by chance, but it is not enough to be classified as real magic, so it is only regarded as zero-level magic, and the fire and fireball techniques that junior magicians can learn are at least several times more powerful than fire burning techniques, which is the gap between intern magicians and junior magicians.

After thinking about the essence of the fire burning technique, Rowan became energetic, poured out a sufficient amount of red phosphorus from his pocket, pinched it in his hand, and couldn't calm down for a long time, but he was also a human being in two lives, so he tried his best to calm his mood, and waited until his spirit was completely calm, and then he slowly became serious, using the ability of meditation to slowly mobilize his mental power.

Following the steps, Rowan first visualized the true meaning of the flame in his mind, burning, high temperature, etc., and waited until a certain stage, then he opened his eyes, focused his attention on his hand, and at the same time silently recited the incantation in his mouth, "Endless flame, please give me light and heat." ”

The steps of casting spells, the means to pay attention to in the middle, and the places to pay attention to the spirit, Rowan is not bad in one step.

Half a day has passed, and red phosphorus is still red phosphorus.

Failed.

Rowan thought about it carefully and continued to cast spells, he didn't believe it, and this thing could also stump him.

This time, he was more serious, and his spirit was a little nervous, "Endless flame, please give me light and heat." ”

This time, he felt it, and a wonderful reaction appeared in his hand, and the place where the red phosphorus was located had a slight temperature, but this temperature was not enough to ignite the red phosphorus, so it failed again.

"I see, this temperature is not good. The basis of the fire burning technique is to rely on spiritual power to interfere with reality, raise the temperature near the palm, so as to ignite the red phosphorus and form the fire burning technique, my spiritual power is definitely enough, but I'm afraid it's still not serious enough. ”

Rowan carefully analyzed the reason, then with a serious face, he once again visualized the flames in the sea of consciousness.

After meditating for two weeks, he was already familiar with this method of self-hypnosis, and this time, he visualized a flame in his mind that was bigger than the previous one, and then recited the entire magic spell word by word.

At this moment, he clearly felt something strange and very active in the air, which condensed into the palm of his hand along his spiritual power, and then, boom... The stone phosphorus burned completely.

A small flame burned in Luo Wen's hand, emitting a faint light and heat, and he clearly felt that the active elements in the air were entangled with red phosphorus with his spiritual power, burning violently.

The fire technique finally succeeded.

Although he succeeded, Luo Wen did not dare to slack off, the success of the fire burning technique was only the foundation, he also had to carefully use his spiritual power to sense, bit by bit of the fire burning technique, until the red phosphorus was completely burned, and all the changes in the middle needed to be in his hands.

According to his feelings, the temperature of this flame is not about three or four hundred degrees, but strangely, the temperature does not seem to have any effect on his palm.

His attention was quite focused, and he soon realized that it was not stone phosphorus that was burning in this flame, but something active in the air.

He instantly understood, "It turns out that this is the fire element. ”

Noting down the characteristics of these things, Rowan put away his spiritual power, and the red phosphorus lost the blessing of his spiritual power, and soon burned it out, and the strange thing is that after the red phosphorus was burned, there was no residue, but completely disappeared in his hands, he thought about it, and attributed this to the mystery of this world.

"The original intention of magic is to pry the ubiquitous magic elements between heaven and earth with spiritual power, and the magician during the internship period can't pry these magic elements because of the lack of mental power, so he can only use magic materials as an introduction, it seems that my goal in the future is to improve his mental power, and strive to sense the fire element as soon as possible. ”

The use of fire burning is not great, although there is only a little spell, and the activation is relatively fast, but strictly speaking, this kind of magic that can only ignite things and can be extinguished by people is not real magic, and fire magic in the real sense cannot be extinguished with conventional magic at all, which is essentially different.

Knowing this, Rowan put away the red phosphorus and began to mobilize his spiritual power to sense the fire element in the air.

Of course, these are all in vain, his spiritual power is still a little weak, but relying on his previous feelings, he has been able to catch a little sign of the fire element, and he still needs to test again and again to synchronize his spiritual power with the magic element, so that he can really sense it. Now is not enough.

Luo Wen's spiritual power was still enough, so he thought about it and began to perform the fire burning technique for the second time, carefully observing everything in the fire burning technique to buy time for himself.

However, with his mental power, he could only perform the Fire Burning Technique twice, and then his spirit felt weak and needed to rest.

Lying on the bed, Rowan tried his best to keep himself in a meditative state, not daring to relax, in the sea of consciousness, the diamond was a little illusory, as if it did not exist, but he still did not dare to give up, he had read many books, and knew that the meditation effect was the best after draining his mental power.

There was no concept of time in the process of meditation, and when Rowan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Oops, the teacher's course, it's really damn it!" Rowan was a little annoyed, but he wasn't discouraged, it was just a lesson, and he could read a book tomorrow, experiment or something, he already knew about it.

Thinking of this, he carefully sensed his spiritual power, and found that it was indeed a little more than before, and he was psychologically comforted.

In the evening, the family had a dinner, and Jossen came on time to inform him.

Rowan was still one of the last people to arrive, and he sat in his seat, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, just waiting for dinner, and as the Viscount moved, he feasted.

With the past few days, he found that as long as he was in the Viscount's Mansion, he would definitely be called here for dinner at night, and he could only get used to it silently, as for the reason, he didn't want to ask, and he didn't bother to ask, whether it was to win over or show favor, Rowan didn't care.

The Sakura Mountain family dinner, the food must be excellent, don't eat in vain.

Soon, when he was full of wine and food, Daley put down his knife and fork, took the clean towel from the servant next to him, wiped his mouth, handed the towel back, and then looked around, attracting everyone's attention.

The others also put down their knives and forks and gathered up their things in front of them, and soon everyone's attention was on the Viscount.

He coughed and said slowly, "Everyone knows that there is a magician in my Viscount's Mansion now, and tonight's council agenda is the magic laboratory. ”

Hearing these five words, Rowan was a little stunned, what is the situation?

"As we all know, any magician will have one or more exclusive laboratories, as far as I know, Rowan has become a trainee magician and already has the qualification of a separate laboratory, and the purpose of our discussion today is the laboratory. ”

As soon as the Viscount's words fell, someone raised his hand directly, "I agree." Although Rowan is not from the Sakura Mountain family, he still has a seven-year contract, and as long as Rowan improves, a laboratory is worth it. ”

Rowan turned his head and saw that it was Captain Hansen of the guard who was speaking, and he looked at him with a look of eagerness. He is also one of the few people who has the qualifications to eat at the Sakurayama family dinner.

Although it was a family dinner, everyone who was important to the family would come, including Hansen and various stewards, and it was also a dinner party and a family council.

As soon as Han Sen finished speaking, a chubby man at the end raised his hand, and Rowan took a look, this is the logistics steward, "The consumption of a magician is very amazing, it may require a lot of money every day, and you need to think carefully, but according to the long-term plan, a magic laboratory is very necessary, I agree." ”

"Seconded. This is the statement of Howard, the backyard steward.

Rowan took a look, and quickly expressed his position that they were all descendants of Lord Viscount.

Next to Lord Viscount Daley, several heads of the side family exchanged heads, and soon someone nodded, "We also agree, the magician is of great importance to our Sakura Mountain family, and I also agree, but our requirement is that the annual investment should not exceed three thousand gold coins." ”

Viscount Daley nodded slowly, his eyes blazing around the circle, "Who still disagrees?"

As a high-ranking warrior, even a high-ranking warrior who was about to be promoted to a war division, the majesty of Lord Daley's Viscount Daley was very heavy, and most of them lowered their heads when they were swept away by his gaze.

"No opinion, then it's decided, Rowan, you can come to my room in a moment. ”

Rowan has no sorrow or joy in his heart, although he has a laboratory for nothing, but he does not have too much excitement in his heart, a laboratory under the watchful eye of others, this is very unwise, although in the current situation, it is indeed beneficial to him.

"It seems that we need to learn the knowledge of the magic array, at least to achieve something that can protect ourselves. ”

The knowledge of the magic array, Luo Wen has always been reluctant to contact, this thing is too complicated, and it involves a lot, materials science, magic pattern, mechanics and other disciplines, you need to study slowly, if you want to find a teacher, it is simply wishful thinking, this thing, unless you are from a formal academy or a magic family, there is no one to teach you by hand, it is too wasteful of time, everything has to be explored by yourself.

Regarding this kind of book, there are a lot of introductory things in the magic institute, Rowan feels that he should go and read it, and if he wants to build a more rigorous and secret laboratory in the future, the magic array is absolutely indispensable, not to mention the secrecy, many experimental instruments need to use high-level magic arrays, and even some things rely on the magic array to operate.

There are many kinds of disciplines for magicians, in addition to regular elemental magicians, there are also puppet magicians, biological magicians, that is, summoning magicians, cursed magicians, etc., which involve mechanical, biochemical, space, microbial and other disciplines, even if you don't learn, at least you have to understand it, otherwise you won't know how to die when you fight other magicians, especially magicians who manipulate biochemistry, and cultivate to a high level, which is very terrifying. The legendary necromancer is the best of them, a necromancer can even wipe out an empire.

After paying attention, Rowan looked firm, and after packing up his things, he got up and followed Viscount Daley to the most central, safest, and strongest place in the Sakura Mountain Manor, the residence where each generation of viscounts lived, Sakura House, and they went with them to Howard, the housekeeper in the backyard.

Presumably in the town and in most places in Sakura City, the Sakura House building is very tall and gorgeously decorated, and there are seven or eight luxurious rooms in it, which are occupied by the other children of the Viscount's ruins, and the Viscount naturally lives in the largest place.

The outermost part of the Sakura House is where the family often studies various secret family matters, and there is a large space inside, and there is a relatively small office next to it.

With the Viscount coming to this office, Rowan didn't have the slightest envy, not even a superfluous gaze, for this world, this place is already quite gorgeous, but for him who has two world memories, this place is still a little bit simpler.

Creating a laboratory from scratch is a very important project, and Viscount Daley also has to be cautious, a Sakura Mountain family only has a net income of more than 10,000 gold coins a year, and it is definitely a big event to set aside a quarter of the income to maintain a laboratory, because of this matter, he has to consider more factors and balance all aspects in order to complete this matter perfectly.

The consumption of a magician is too great, but if he doesn't invest, then Rowan is likely to achieve nothing in these seven years and won't be able to help himself too much, which is definitely intolerable to him, at least he must promote Rowan to an intermediate magician, so that he can lead Rowan to the expedition when he is promoted to a war division. This matter is a very important matter for the entire Sakura Mountain family, and there is nothing more important than this matter for the entire Sakura Mountain family. You must know that in the entire Sakura City, and even in the Grimm Province to which Sakura City belongs, there are not many war divisions, let alone leading the team to the battle, for a family, this is definitely the supreme glory, even if it is killed in battle.

Therefore, this matter has almost perfectly won the support of everyone in the family.

Along the way, Daley was observing Rowan, so he was even more satisfied.

Entering the office, Daley waved his backhand, "Sit casually." ”

Howard plays his part, pouring a strong cup of coffee for the two.

Rowan sat down casually, looking at Viscount Daley, he spoke first, "Lord Viscount, are you sure you want to set up a laboratory for me?"

Daley sat in the main seat, and Rowan's voice just fell when his ass hit the chair, he glanced at Rowan, and his eyes showed an extraordinary look, "Yes, Rowan, I have asked everyone's consent for this matter, but, do you know why?"

Rowan shook his head, this is not something he can figure out, if he has an idea, it is that maybe Qiao Sen said that he went on the expedition, but he didn't want to make his own opinion on this matter.

Daley took the coffee, took a small sip, and said in a low voice, "My Sakura Mountain family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the first generation of the head of the family is a war master, he has made great contributions to the Holy Forest Empire, so he was named this Sakura Mountain, hereditary viscount, since then, my Sakura Mountain family has produced a total of four war masters, leading the family to help the empire go on four expeditions, this is the supreme glory of the family, and now, I will lead the family to go on the sixth expedition for the empire, you can understand the importance of it." ”

Rowan really didn't know anything about this, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Viscount Daley smiled, and then he remembered that this guy was still a child, so he nodded with a wry smile and said, " Let me explain it to you, the nobles of the empire are divided into sixth-class titles, the prince and the prince, you all know, from the baron to the viscount, not only the family needs a certain combat power, but also needs to have a certain degree of meritorious service, some people no matter how strong they are, they may not be promoted to the viscount in a lifetime, merit is one of the reasons, my Sakurayama family was a viscount back then, and it is still a viscount thousands of years later, it is because of the lack of imperial merits, if you can lead the family soldiers to participate in the imperial battle, then the Sakura Mountain family can get meritorious, you can understand the truth of this。 ”

Luo Wen was shocked, "So that's the case, then may I ask Lord Viscount, but what does this have to do with me?"

Daley lowered his body and immediately smiled wryly, " Although I am already a viscount, but this identity does not bring substantial advantages, in this world, everything ultimately depends on strength to speak, my force is enough, but lack of other means, these, all need magicians to make up, so, I need an ally of a magician, or need to recruit a magician, but the cost of recruiting a magician is too great, our family can't afford it, so, we decided, cultivate you, as long as you become an intermediate magician within a few years, then my investment is not in vain。 ”

Rowan was even more shocked, he shook his head silently, "Hey, Lord Viscount, your understanding of magicians is still too superficial, I admit it, I will soon be able to be promoted to a junior magician and master primary magic, but it is too difficult to be promoted to an intermediate magician, and the meditation method we cultivate can only be cultivated to an intermediate magician, which is too difficult, and I am not optimistic about your investment." ”

The promotion of the family is such a big deal, Luo Wen doesn't want to tie himself to the chariot of the Sakura Mountain family, his original intention is to break away from the Sakura Mountain family as soon as possible, but he doesn't want to waste his good youth here.

Daley knew Rowan's potential, especially the little faint magic fluctuation he felt last night, so he looked at Rowan's gaze very eagerly, "Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, what is the need, just bring it up, I don't say that it will satisfy you all, it is still possible to satisfy most of them, intermediate magician, as long as you are slowly promoted, you will always help me, about this matter, then please." ”
