Chapter 31: A Magician from the West

Today is the big day for me to meet the second master in my life, and I have been interested in some magical spells in the West before, so I got up early this morning, didn't even use the alarm clock, washed and changed clothes in five minutes, and then rushed downstairs to find my grandfather.

The little grandfather was not in his room, and I wondered as I walked to the living room, "Strange, is the master already here?" But the little grandfather didn't come to call me? ”

When I was about to walk to the living room, I heard a very complaining voice from a woman in Chinese with a thick foreign accent in the living room: "I thought you suddenly contacted me to relive the old dream, but it turned out that I wanted to give you that baby as a coach, and it was really a thin man." ”

"Alixia" This is the voice of the little grandfather: "I know, I broke your heart when I left suddenly, but baby, I haven't been married for so many years, isn't it all because I can't forget you?" ”

I shrank by the entrance wall of the living room and eavesdropped on them, and when I heard this, I couldn't help but secretly stick out my tongue, thinking that it was my little grandfather's old lover, but I didn't expect my little grandfather to have such a thing when he was young, hehe.

"Allah, I said, your baby is eavesdropping right now, is it really okay? I was told by my own granddaughter about my past affairs. As if sensing my presence, the woman's voice suddenly amplified several times

"Xiao Ran! If you're here, come out quickly! Who did you learn from this trick of eavesdropping on corners?! The little grandfather roared, I had to walk out slowly from behind the wall with my hands behind my back, lowered my head and said: "Little grandpa, I was wrong, I didn't want to eavesdrop, but I didn't see you in your room, I was looking for you everywhere, I didn't hear anything just now." ”

"Hmph" the little grandfather snorted coldly: "Raise your head, come and see your master!" ”

"Oh!" I quickly raised my head, and what caught my eye was a woman with long blonde hair and a very beautiful side face sitting on the sofa in the living room, and when I raised my head, she turned her head to look at me, and I saw that she had a pair of emerald eyes, she was wearing a tight-fitting fishtail, long-sleeved, low-cut red velvet fabric skirt, painted with bright red lipstick, her skin was very fair, her blonde hair lined her goddess-like appearance, and the red skirt wrapped her beautiful figure, which made me stunned.

"You're the girl who inherited Solomon's Ring and Solomon's Key?" She curled her lips at me and smiled, "Come here, let me take a good look at you." ”

As if I was obsessed, I walked over stupidly step by step, and let her stretch out a pair of hands with bright red nail polish to hold my hand, and then I suddenly felt a surge of breath in my body, and instantly seemed to be suddenly awake, I wanted to pull my hand out, but I couldn't struggle, the woman saw that I was back to my soul, so she let go of my hand, picked up a cup of black tea on the table and took a sip, and then put it down and said to my little grandfather: "Well, the qualifications are not bad, and more importantly, ......." She stood up and took a few steps closer to me, Before I could react, his hand touched my face, and after a while, he said, "It looks very good to my liking, yes, I decided!" She let go of my hand, sat down on the sofa again, crossed Erlang's legs and stared at me, and said, "I'll take you as a closed disciple, the magic power in your body, ah, it should be called spiritual power in your country!" Great! It's powerful! It is very suitable for practicing Western magic, and it is also very beautiful, like a blooming Damascus rose. ”

"Damascus roses?" Although I used to hear people say that I was very beautiful, like a thorny red rose, and described me as a Damascus rose, she was the first one

"OK, I've decided!" She pointed a finger at me and said, "From now on, you will be the Queen of Roses!" Quee

of

ose!”

β€œQuee

of

ose?” I looked at the little grandfather with a blank face, and he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the ** illness has been committed again." After that, he explained to me, "Xiao Ran, this is Alysia, who is known as the strongest witch in the Western magical world. Aldini, among the Western witches, her summoning skills and alchemy are the strongest, and she is also proficient in all kinds of magic spells, she is a teacher I invited back from abroad to teach you magic, she is an Englishman, a pure-blood witch, and the pure-blood witch will give her apprentice a code name for walking in the wizarding world in the future, your title is the Queen of the Rose, it seems that she likes you very much. ”

β€œYES,YES!” Alyssa seemed to be very satisfied with the little grandfather's explanation, and said to me with a smile: "I do like you very much, not only because you are very beautiful, but also because the magic in your body is also very strong, before I came, I thought about what kind of person can so easily let Solomon's Ring recognize the Lord, very unconvinced, but as soon as I see you, I understand, what about Solomon's Ring?" ”

I had to explain the ins and outs to her again, and after hearing how I got the ring and how I couldn't disconnect from Beryl, her pretty brow furrowed, "You said you got this ring from a vampire named Alice?"

I nodded, and she said, "Solomon's Ring and Solomon's Key will actually fall into the hands of that stinky woman, but it's okay, anyway, now its owner is also you, but I just heard you say that you can't communicate with that stupid man in Belier, presumably because of some ancient prohibition on it, it seems that I am really destined to help your little grandfather with this." ”

"Huh?" I looked confused, she looked at me, sighed and explained: "The so-called Key of Solomon, in fact, has nothing to do with King Solomon, this book that records many rules and spells for summoning, is actually a magic book written by medieval warlocks, and many of them are black magic, but I think what you got is probably only a part of this book, because the part that records black magic in the second half has long been destroyed." She took another sip of the black tea, and then continued: "And the Ring of Solomon is a magic ring owned by Solomon, the ancient king of Israel, and its real name is Seal o

Solomo

, Solomon's seal ring, engraved with the six-pointed star that drives the power of the ring, is sealed in the king of the devil A**odeus (pronounced Asmondius), and the so-called seventy-two pillars of the demon god is only because Solomon has the demon king A**odeus, so the seventy-two high-ranking demon gods in the demon world will obey the orders of Solomon who has the ring. This ring passed for many centuries after the death of King Solomon and the destruction of the kingdom, and finally fell into the hands of an antique dealer in England, who was my grandfather, who was also a great magician, but in the year of my grandfather's death, the ring was stolen, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of a vampire, and it was still in the hands of such a low-ranking vampire who was willing to fall, but fortunately you have to come back as a price, for which I have to thank you! She nodded at me as she spoke

"Since that's your family's thing, you should have a way for me to restore contact with Belial!" I asked hurriedly

"I'm afraid this won't work" Alyssa said: "Once Solomon's Ring recognizes the Lord, no one else can touch it, otherwise it will attract a terrible curse, and now the way can only be like what your little grandfather said, learn to summon and magic, and then go to the Demon Island on the Mediterranean, summon the seventy-two pillar demon gods, let them open the link channel between the present world and the Western Demon World, and then go in and accept the trial of the Demon King, and become a new generation of Solomon, before they can restore the connection with the ring itself." ”

"How do you .................," I muttered

"Nothing" Alyssa stood up, smiled and walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "I can never go wrong with anyone I watch, my rose, it won't be long before you fully master the art of summoning and all the magic spells I have taught you, and when you learn it, we can leave for the Devil's Island"

"Do you know where Alcatraz is?" I asked in surprise

"That's nature, I'm a witch anyway!" Alixia said: "Every year in the late spring and early summer, the witches from all over the world will fly to the Devil's Island, where we will hold grand transactions, sacrifices and other activities, and it is also the only few days a year when the witches hold gatherings, as well as exchange information, and there is the day of the disciples' magic competition conference, I must make you the best disciple, you have to fight for me!" ”

"But I have other things.............." I said, Alyssa waved her hand impatiently, "I heard what your little grandfather said, don't worry, I guarantee that before you finish all those things, you will be able to summon the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods and control them freely." After that, he stood up and asked my little grandfather, "The basement is still in the old place, right?" ”

"Hmm" The little grandfather nodded, and Alyssa pulled me out and said, "Okay, let's start the special training quickly!" ”

I looked at my grandfather, who nodded at me, and I let Alyssa pull me out of the living room

After coming to the basement, I saw that she didn't know where to take out a bag that looked very small, and then opened it and shook it directly to the ground, I was stunned to see a bunch of pots, all kinds of books, bottles, etc. falling to the ground, pouring these things, Alicia commanded: "Hurry up and help me pack up all these things" She waved her hand as she spoke, and there were many more things in the empty room in an instant: soft couches, bookshelves, desks, experimental tables, etc., and when she stopped, The whole basement was arranged as if it were a small study, and she turned her head to see that I was still stunned, and said in a loud voice; "Hey! Don't stand stupid! Put all those books on the shelves, put the bottles down on the laboratory table, and put the crystal ball on the mat and put it on the desk" I quickly started to put things away according to her instructions, and as I put them down, I thought to myself, why don't I use magic to tidy up? There must be such a magic, right?

"Are you wondering why I don't have to sort out the magic?" As if she could read minds, Alyssa suddenly came to such a sentence, which startled me, and hurriedly hugged a glass bottle that almost fell to the ground, and saw her walk to a small skylight in the basement, opened the skylight, and whistled into the air, and after a while, I saw a snow-white owl fluttering its wings and landing in front of the window, Alixia stretched out her hand, and it jumped on her arm and stayed, Alyssa withdrew her arm, turned her head to see me staring at the owl, and smiled: "This is my pet and messenger." , Lena, she's a female snowy owl, how is she, she's beautiful, isn't she? As he spoke, he stroked the feathers of the snowy owl and said: "Don't look at me with such envy, it's nothing, when you leave the school, I will also give you a pet, what do you like?" Snake? Cat? Mouse? What kind of eyes do you have? There are many kinds of witches' pets, okay? ”

As I continued to organize my things as she told me, I thought for a moment and said, "I actually like cats more, especially those with black eyes like gold. ”

"Wow!" Alyssa let out an exclamation, "It's worthy of my favorite apprentice, I actually like cats that are regarded as the pets of demons, and they are also the black cats that witches love the most."

"Do witches like black cats?" I put the last book away, turned to her, and asked

"Yes, because the black cat is considered to be the cat that can increase the magic power of the most, black cat, okay, I'll give you a mutated black ocelot." Alyssa said, "And it's a spirit pet, that is, you can use it as a mount, so you don't have to ride a broom like those stupid witches." ”

"Isn't the broom quite a witch?" Remembering a novel I had read before, I asked, "Don't you all talk about witches' brooms?" ”

"What's so good about that thing!" Alyssa sat down on the soft couch and waved her hand, and a hookah I had just placed in the corner floated over, she grabbed the cigarette holder and took a puff, spit out the smoke ring and said: "It's still a spirit pet, what I give you is the kind of spirit pet that you have to raise yourself since birth, and it will grow up by itself as your magic grows, and can protect your little cutie at a critical time." ”

Hearing her describe the ocelot as cute, I couldn't help but shudder when I remembered the ocelot I had seen in books and footage films

"Huh? They are indeed cuties, what are you afraid of? The leopard cat raised from childhood to adulthood will only be fierce to strangers, but it is very obedient to the owner's words, but unfortunately there is no stock now, otherwise I would like to get one for you immediately. Alyssa let go of the hookah and let it float in the air, and walked up to me and said, "Let's learn how to turn on the faucet of magic in your body today, so let's take the first step - meditation." ”

"Meditation?" I asked

"That's right!" Alyssa nodded and said, "The key to casting magic is meditation, let's start with the most basic one, the change spell today." With that, she picked up a glass goblet from the lab table, walked up to me, and said, "Let's practice how to turn this goblet into an animal today." ”

"Animals?" I stared at the cup, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be an animal.

"YES, FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE SHAPE OF THIS OBJECT, THEN CLOSE YOUR EYES, FIRST IMAGINE THAT YOU HAVE A CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE YOU, AND THERE IS A MASTER SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THEM, AND THEN YOU TURN ON THAT MASTER SWITCH, AND THE CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH THOSE CIRCUITS ONE BY ONE........." Alyssa put the cup on the desk and motioned for me to watch her demonstrate, only to see her slowly close her eyes, and then continued: "After you think of this picture, next imagine an animal, preferably your favorite, the most beautiful animal you think." .......... Then I recite the mantra according to what kind of animal you want to turn the cup into, for example, if I want it to become a bird, I need to say, 'Wings fluttering, sound crisp, turn this cup into a bird!' As soon as she finished speaking, I was amazed to see that the goblet had wings, then a head, feet, and a tail...... Eventually, the cup turned into a transparent bird that had been glowing blue, hovering in the air for a moment and then landing on Alixia's fingers, only to see that she pinched the bird's legs with the two fingers of one hand, and with one flip, the bird turned back into a cup.

Seeing my stunned look, Alyssa smirked and said, "I forgot to mention that this spell is also very suitable for being used to detect what kind of attribute you are born with in your body."

"Attributes?" I asked, puzzled

"Yes, just like you have the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, our Western magic world also has its own magic, which are earth magic, fire magic, water magic, wind magic, in addition to light magic and dark magic, you saw my bird emit a blue light just now, right?" She asked

"Hmm," I nodded

"It emits a blue light to mean that I am a water-based magic, and it should be noted here that water is inherently incompatible with fire, and it is relatively compatible with earth or wind, and it is not compatible with light and darkness," Alyssa explained

"Well, I see," I nodded

"Alright, you can try to turn this cup into an animal, as I said." Alyssa Road

I nodded, as she taught me, to memorize the appearance, then close my eyes, imagine in my mind that there is an electric current passing through my "circuit board", and then think about what I am going to conjure, and before I know it, I blurt out: "Fly among the flowers, immerse yourself in the nectar, and turn this cup into a butterfly!" Then I heard the crisp sound of the glass cracking in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the cup had really become a butterfly, but .........

"Master," I looked at the butterfly flying in the air without any color with great concern, and asked anxiously, "But why does my butterfly have no color?" Master? I saw her staring at the butterfly fluttering in the air, and ignored my question, so I couldn't help but raise my voice a little and said, "Master? Master! ”

But as if she hadn't heard, she stretched out her hand, and the butterfly flew to the tips of her fingers and stopped flapping her wings, and she sent the butterfly to her eyes, and after looking at it for a while, she turned to me in amazement and muttered, "Oh! My God, what kind of perverted apprentice am I taking? ”

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? I asked anxiously

"No, nothing." Alyssa flipped her hand and turned the butterfly back into a glass and placed it on the table, before she looked at me and said, "I was just shocked, I didn't expect you to be a genius magician with no attributes." ”

"No attributes? Talented? I wondered, "But didn't you just say that magic only has the attributes of earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness?" ”

"Hey, that's right" Alyssa seemed to be still in shock, staring at me for a long time before saying: "Indeed, in theory, magic is only these few attributes, but in fact, there is a type of magician who can use all the above attribute magic, that is, non-attribute magicians, this kind of magicians are all born, it is impossible to achieve it by late cultivation, they will have higher achievements than other magicians, and it can only be one in hundreds of years in the West, it is a genius among magicians, there was a great magician in ancient Greece before, He's attributeless magic, I just didn't expect to see living attributeless magic today, and it's such a young girl! ”

"You're saying I'm a non-attribute magic that is rare to see in a hundred years?" I was also shocked and pointed to my nose and asked in disbelief

"That's right" Alysia finally relented, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Although attributeless magic is extremely rare, you must be careful, if you don't use it well, you may go crazy and fall into the dark world, I don't want my apprentice to become a dark mage and finally be sent to the guillotine." ”

"So horrible?" I was stunned

"Hmm" Alyssa nodded, walked over and pinched my shoulders and said: "Attributeless magic has been considered to be magic that only demon kings will use since ancient times, you have to promise me, if you want to test the transformation spell at the disciple conference in the future, don't use this kind of magic, I will teach you how to use attribute magic in the future, and then you can just make a kind of attribute magic to fool the past, you are a non-attribute magician can only I tell you, even your little grandfather can't say it, understand?" ”

"Hmm" Although I couldn't understand why I couldn't even tell my little grandfather, I still nodded obediently

"Okay, let's move on to the next one" Alicia said: "This month is the last month of 2025, and after the New Year, you should be going to set off to find the Zhurong Temple, this month my teaching will be interspersed with your little grandfather's dream weaving teaching, you must fully master the use of magic within this month, as well as summoning and dream weaving, are you mentally prepared?" ”

I took a deep breath and nodded firmly, "Well, I'm ready!" Let the horses come! ”

"That's what it sounds like!" Alyssa smiled and immediately moved on to the next lesson
