Ophelia was also very interested, although she had excellent talent and was very efficient in guiding her blood qi cultivation with her spiritual power, it was the first time she had come into contact with the method of spiritual power solidification runes, which purely acted on spiritual power.

Mage Black once again sketched out the spiritual power solidification rune, and then said, "Runes are the language of magic, and they are one of the bases for mages to launch spells. It does not have a fixed writing pattern, and the runes will be formed as they understand the knowledge they have. ”

Mage Black paused here, probably because he was in a good mood, and then he continued: "Learn the rune combinations created by other mages, and you will be able to use his spells, and the runes of self-comprehension will be engraved in the soul, and you will form your own spells. ”

Adam thanked Mage Blake for saying that every spell is a program, and that the mage is both the developer and the user of the program, the difference is that the developer owns the source code and the user does not.

Then Master Black asked her, "And Miss Ophelia, do you have any questions?"

Ophelia was dazzled by this, immersed in the magic of mages and spells, which is far beyond that of knights, and her mind was full of thoughts of becoming a mage, and when she heard Mage Blake's inquiry, she blurted out: "How can I become a real mage?"

"The path of a mage is not singular, but it is essentially a process of detachment between the soul and the life level. Finding your own path, learning enough knowledge to sublimate yourself and mastering them completely, and then inscribed them in your soul, you can achieve the path of the mage. "Master Blake is vague about this question, because this proposition is too grandiose, and it will take a long time to explain it in detail, not to mention whether Ophelia can understand it or not, and of course, the most important thing is that the responsibility of the guide is not enough to offset the value of this answer.

"Besides, the two issues actually have something in common, and if they are smart enough, they are enough to sort out a clue. Looking at Ophelia, who was still ignorant, and Adam, who was thoughtful, Mage Black thought to himself.

"You can go and rest, tomorrow's qualification test if you want to, you can come and see it, maybe one of your companions will be born, if you don't want to, but for most mages, the search for truth should not be lonely, because one's wisdom has limits after all. With that, Master Blake left the main hall at the invitation of Earl Johnson.

Ophelia and Adam were speechless and went back to rest.

Adam stayed up all night, sitting on his bed and thinking about what he had seen tonight and every word Master Black had said, finally focusing entirely on the simple spiritual power solidification rune.

If this rune is compared to a simple program, and Adam's mental power is compared to data, then it is obvious that this program is not enough to carry too much data, that is to say, if Adam wants to continue to improve, the first thing to do is to optimize this program.

"Establish missions to develop runic structures with a larger capacity. ”

The spiral-shaped runes shown by Master Black are two distorted lines, which look a bit like an hourglass, but in the final analysis, it is only a two-dimensional plane structure, it has the concept of a figure but no concept of volume, on this two-dimensional structure of the rune, the spiritual power is turned into a line to outline the figure, and then this part of the spiritual power into a figure remains in the mind, because the spiritual power is partially solidified, so it makes room for the increase of spiritual power.

Adam silently analyzed, and at the same time at a rate of one per minute to quickly outline the runes, one night later, nearly five hundred runes were formed and left in his mind, but Adam found that this is useless, if the total amount of Adam's spiritual power is simply regarded as a hundred, then each rune can be contained even less than 0.1, that is to say, if Adam does not develop a more efficient rune structure, only with the rune shown by Master Black, even if Adam uses it to fill the memory, he will not be able to solidify all the spiritual power.

However, it is obvious that one night cannot create a more efficient structure, but Adam is not in a hurry, he is in a good state of mind now, he is not afraid of encountering problems, and when he encounters problems, he is on the road, he is only afraid that he is not even qualified to go on the road.

In the morning, the hustle and bustle outside the city lord's mansion made Adam stop the mage's practice, he walked out of the room, and the night passed by All the people in the city lord's mansion knew that the young man's identity was different at this moment, and the servant immediately stepped forward to guide him to the dining room, and served sumptuous and exquisite dishes.

Halfway through Adam's meal, Ophelia walked in and sat beside him, "Did you do a mage practice last night?"

Adam nodded.

She seemed very excited, without the previous indifference and alienation: "I have drawn nearly a hundred runes, I feel that my mental strength has increased, and the mage's practice can actually reduce fatigue, I haven't slept all night but I am still full of energy." ”

Adam didn't speak, but Ophelia was not less interested, and said mysteriously, "You know, after you left last night, I got another piece of news from Master Black. ”

Adam was still bowing his head and chewing, and Ophelia saw that he didn't react, and said angrily, "Don't you want to know?"

Adam didn't stop the knife and fork, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said softly, "Now your heart is beating 60 percent faster, and your spirit is in an abnormal euphoria. ”

Ophelia's expression froze, is this saying that she is crazy?

Adam continued: "As for what you said, if you want to say that I can naturally know, if you don't want to, it's useless for me to be curious. ”

Ophelia let out a cloudy breath, she also knew that she was a little excited, but she couldn't suppress the joy of getting out of her boring life, leaving the cold Northland and her family at hand.

And Adam, the companion who was about to enter the path of the mage with her, became even more pleasing to the eye, which is why she put aside the arrogance of the nobility and talked to Adam.

In fact, Ophelia is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and liveliness should be her nature.

Ophelia decided to ignore Adam's attitude, she was in dire need of someone to share with: "Do you know why Venerable Master Mage himself came to conduct a small qualification test, do you know why the location was chosen in the barren Northlands?"

Adam came to have some interest, which was also his question, although yesterday's Black Mage seemed to be kind, but the indifference to mortals in his eyes could not be concealed from Adam, this was not arrogance and prejudice, but from the indifference of the life level.

Perhaps in Master Black's mind, he was not the same creature as mortals at all.

So the question is, why would a high-ranking mage put down his identity to do such a thing?

Ophelia was very satisfied when she saw that Adam finally raised her head, and said in a low voice: "A year ago, the Moldor Mage Academy started to belong to the same ...... and belong to the same family" Ophelia suddenly stopped, racked her brains and thought for a while, and then continued: "Uh, the academy war with the Monte Carlo Mage Academy. Originally, the two academies were evenly matched, but just two months ago, the Monte Carlo Mage Academy suddenly broke out, defeating the Moldor Mage Academy, and finally the Moldor Mage Academy was defeated, losing most of the mage apprentices, and I heard that even the sphere of influence was greatly encroached upon, so Master Black personally selected the apprentices. ”

Adam calmed down after being slightly stunned, there were still wars between ordinary people, how could the mages who had mastered extraordinary power all love and help each other, "Is it just a war between apprentices?"

Ophelia said, "No, of course it's not just the war between apprentices, even the official mages have fallen, but these are too far away from you and me, and I have good news to say......"

I don't know when Mage Blake took over the conversation after walking down from the second floor, and said: "Due to the death of a large number of elite mage apprentices, the official mages of the Moldor Mage Academy will select disciples from the new batch of mage apprentices, this is your chance, once selected, you will have many detours on the way to the promotion of official mages." ”

Adam and Ophelia stood up and saluted respectfully, and Master Black waved his hand and said to them, "It seems that you are willing to go with me to choose an apprentice? ”

Ophelia plucked up the courage to nominate herself: "Dear Master Black, I ......"

Master Black didn't look back, and said lightly: "Formal mages are very cautious in selecting disciples, you must at least practice in the academy and initially master your own path before you can gain favor, and the path of mages is different, my path may not be suitable for you." ”

In the long life of the mage, I don't know how many amazing geniuses have been seen in the apprenticeship stage, but as he said yesterday, qualification is never the basis for determining whether or not he can advance, wisdom and knowledge are, cultivating disciples is an investment, and no one wants to invest resources in unprofitable business.

Ophelia lowered her head in disappointment, Mage Blake's attention made her think that she could succeed in her apprenticeship, but it was clear that Mage was not such a shallow person.

Adam didn't even mean to ask, Master Black was right, if the teacher couldn't show the way, simply providing resources would not play a key role, and now Adam didn't know what his path to being a mage was.

It was still yesterday's main hall, Ophelia had regained her mood before entering the main hall, her demeanor had become noble and inviolable again, she could be friendly to Adam, who was now in the same class, but she was still high to others.

Outside the main hall, there were many boys and girls waiting anxiously, accompanied by equally anxious and overwhelmed family members, this was probably the perfect opportunity for the poor to change their fate, and the rich to step into the higher classes, each of whom had made countless preparations in advance and vowed to do everything they could.
