Chapter Seventy-Two: Carl the Joyful and Sad
Philosophy of Magic, Principles of Spellcasting, Runes, Spells, Astronomy, Mathematics of Magic, Potions, Anatomy, Biology, Spellcasting...... After class by class, Carl felt as if he was back in college, listening to lectures from classroom to classroom, tirelessly.
The world of magic is so vast and profound that he can't help but indulge in it, forgetting reality, forgetting little Lucy, forgetting to find out if he is in a dream, just hungry and thirsty for magical knowledge, tirelessly pursuing the next lesson.
He had no idea that the next lesson was completely abnormal, until a shrill bell rang that Karl woke up.
The piercing ringing of the bell, full of infinite magic, suddenly penetrated Carl's consciousness, as if a silver needle had pierced deep into his brain, making him suddenly feel an indescribable pain.
It was not physical pain, but a kind of pain from the spirit and soul, the instant pain made Carl extremely awake, so that he clearly felt that the pain that burned every nerve like a soldering iron did not originate from the body, but from the depths of the spirit, and reacted to the nerve endings, causing irrepressible pain.
Thankfully, the pain came and went quickly, and before Carl could scream, everything was calm again. It was as if a nail had completely penetrated his brain, and the sharp pain that scorched every inch of his nerves with flames did not cause any harm to his flesh, but brought him an indescribable benefit.
Carl found himself suddenly extremely sensitive, and the world became extremely transparent as if it had been wiped out of dust. This time, he felt as if his spiritual will had substance, surrounding him like water.
With a thought in his mind, his spirit expanded like a wave of water, easily drowning himself, submerging little Lucy, drowning every inch of space around him, drowning the entire room in the darkness.
Although it was dark in the room, at this moment, Carl could see the entire room clearly, this was not the dark vision brought by the dragon vein bloodline, but the three hundred and sixty-five all-round perspective without dead ends brought by the spiritual power scan.
For he saw not only the floor under the bed, but also the inside of the closet, and the bumpy body that was beginning to take shape under little Lucy's black and white dress, and the most mysterious hills and ravines......
"Mr. Karl......"
As if sensing Carl's peeping, little Lucy's face suddenly turned red, her fair cheeks heated up like a steamer, and a hot and intense spiritual power like magma suddenly burst out from her, violently bounced off Carl's ubiquitous soft spiritual power.
"Hiss......"
Caught off guard, Carl seemed to be scalded by boiling water, and his conditioned reflex contracted back to his spiritual power.
"Mr. Karl, where are you looking!"
Little Lucy was angry and annoyed, her red face was steaming like a steamer, she was a little annoyed, and she said shyly, "Mr. Karl, how can you be like this......"
"I'm sorry!"
Carl was very embarrassed, and quickly apologized: "It's my fault, I just awakened my spiritual power, and I didn't master the ......"
Anyway, just now I did accidentally look at little Lucy's whole body inside and out (in the literal sense), whether it was an accident or an accident, I took a big advantage, and I should apologize.
Little Lucy suddenly found that her hand was still being held by Mr. Karl, pressed against the parchment scroll, and immediately became very shy, and quickly withdrew her palm, and carried it far behind her.
"Wait, this is-"
Carl was just halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed that a mysterious rune like a key suddenly appeared on the back of his and little Lucy's hands.
"This is the Magic Empire's arcane seal!"
Karl instantly remembered the origin of this rune, which was the arcane sigil of the ancient Losta Empire, and the silver key rune symbolized his apprenticeship, representing that he had just touched the door of the truth of Dao magic, but had not really pushed open the portal of magic and entered the hall of the true mage of Dao.
The Arcane Seal is not a profound magic in itself, but it is a symbol of each mage's personal identity. Just like everyone's fingerprint iris, each mage's arcane imprint is completely different, and the arcane imprint condensed by magic often contains a mage's spiritual characteristics, magical attributes, and other unique personal imprints.
As a beginner in magic, Karl didn't know how to cast the arcane sigil, but the Magic Empire of Ancient Rosta had already developed a new use for it.
In order to distinguish the Imperial Mage from other spellcasters, the Magic Empire has specially developed a unique secret imprint with the Magic Empire's Luo Seal, and every Imperial Mage has been sealed by Luo since his apprenticeship to obtain a legal identity and a unique mark.
In the era of the Magic Empire, this secret imprint was like a person's ID card, used for various information and identity verification, because it was engraved with the unique atmosphere of the Magic Empire, which could not be modified and tampered with even by legendary powerhouses, and the anti-counterfeiting mark was unique.
"it, pit it, pit pit ......"
Looking at the magic mark on the back of his hand, Carl's excitement when he had just come into contact with magic suddenly disappeared!
The Magic Empire's arcane imprint, when the Magic Empire was still alive, was naturally a status symbol, with countless benefits.
But in the glorious age after the collapse of the Magic Empire, this sigil was nothing short of a talisman. The mage who wears this mark is the street rat that everyone shouts and beats.
Over the past few thousand years, many mages with the emblem of the Old Magic Empire have been burned at the stake by the Holy See's Night's Watch - and some of them are legendary mages who are known for their children's night cries.
Almost everyone in the entire continent knows that to tell whether a mage is a remnant of the Ancient Magic Empire, all you need to do is see if he has the secret imprint of the Ancient Magic Empire on his body - for this reason, the Radiant Holy See has also specially invented a divine technique to test whether a person has the Luo seal of the Ancient Magic Empire.
Although in the past thousand years, there have been fewer and fewer mages with the Luo Yin of the Ancient Magic Empire, and the main opponent of the Radiant Holy See is not the remnants of these increasingly rare Ancient Magic Empires, so that this kind of divine art that specializes in monitoring the Luo Yin of the Ancient Magic Empire is becoming less and less studied by priests.
However, Karl didn't dare to bet that he would never meet a priest who knew this kind of magic in his life! What's more, he was fortunate not to die not long ago because he did not bow down like those devout believers during the entrance ceremony of Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song, and was noticed by the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song and the great man of the Inquisition.
Originally, he was open-minded and not afraid of suspicion and censorship. But now it's marked with magic, and it's yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and it's either dead or dead......
