Chapter XXV: Victor's Book of Apprentices

Although it was an enclosed space, he could still feel a cool and comfortable wind blowing through the room, and if Arthur could have searched closely, he would have been able to see that the wind was blowing from some corner of the southeast of the room, then went around the room, and finally disappeared from the northeast corner of the room, giving the impression that he was in the wilderness, and the scent of the earth was blowing through his ears.

This should be the magic version of the indoor air conditioner!

Obviously, because of the convenience of magic, many things in this caster's world are not as backward as Arthur and that one imagined, and the application of a large number of magic tools makes the casters enjoy many aspects of their lives at all, or even more convenient. It's not like the one he had in Taran.

It was like a primitive dwelling in prehistoric times, and now it makes Arthur feel like he has suddenly returned to modern industrial society.

As far as Arthur's own residence is concerned, the light in the house is very bright, and many places that Arthur has never thought of before, lighting, dusting, and constant adjustable room temperature...... It has it all, but the most special thing is the surrounding walls of the room, which are like a transparent screen with a projection of the landscape from the outside of the space.

That is, the city of Tathelmir outside.

The streets, pedestrians, and all kinds of chaotic streetscapes in the city make you feel alienated from the outside world even in this closed and confined space.

It's obviously a very user-friendly technology.

This is also a unique technique of Master Victor, which can project the landscape outside the space-time secret realm into the space-time secret realm through the magic guide to improve the environment here. It doesn't feel like you're in an enclosed space completely cut off from the outside world.

Of course, you can also relocate the projected scenery to other places, such as the wilderness outside the city, or the distant mountains, as long as you have a matching framing device there.

The abundance of metal, the use of magic tools, and the incredible convenience make it hard to imagine that this is a backward Middle Ages. Compared to the outside world, this place is simply paradise.

There is a world-apart between the spellcasters and mortals in this world, and even for Arthur, a time-traveler from Earth, there is a postmodern sci-fi aesthetic to it.

Compared to here, Lorain outside the secret world is simply another world from here.

The distinction between a spellcaster and an ordinary person can be seen from this, and there seems to be some kind of natural gap between the two. Rather than being like on the earth, an invention of science and technology will naturally spread to the benefit of the entire human society.

What's even more strange is that everyone here seems to be used to this, and no one thinks anything is wrong.

This may be the difference between the world of Loland and the world of Earth!

But in any case, the magic science of this world really has its own uniqueness.

Victor's Magic Hut lives up to its name.

Thinking of this name made Arthur feel like he wanted inexplicably.

Master Victor's heart doesn't seem to be what he looks like on the outside!

This Victor Master's Secret Realm is actually a castle at all, which is very wide, with more than 10,000 rooms, many alchemy workshops exclusive to alchemy apprentices, magic laboratories, species cultivation rooms, magic gardens, magic energy pools, and other places that Arthur still doesn't know much about.

But as far as Arthur knows, there are only seventy-three real alchemy apprentices in the magic hut, and three of them have been promoted to become official alchemists, that is, Arthur's senior brother. Of all the other alchemy apprentices, only nine were the descendants of Master Victor, and the others were disciples of Victor's disciples, that is, Arthur's nephews.

These seventy-three alchemy apprentices, plus Master Victor himself, were the masters of this vast spatial secret realm.

Alchemists don't have the same strict master-apprentice relationship as mages.

All the alchemy apprentices are geniuses, and geniuses are obsessed with their hearts, and they are rarely as keen as mages to win over relationships and intrigue with each other.

The alchemy apprentices here, each with their own large number of slaves, maids and various puppets, in addition, the process of alchemy also needs assistants, who are also attached to the alchemy apprentices.

Each alchemy apprentice is a walking alchemy factory, and they represent the core productivity of the entire Lorain world.

They are busy in their laboratories every day, and creation is their greatest joy, and this is all their spiritual world. In the course of their daily experiments, they will produce countless alchemy products and all kinds of magic tools, which will be taken to the outside world in exchange for various massive resources.

The hundreds of unique prop shops in the magic hut are their products.

These people, including all kinds of vassals around them, all kinds of alchemical creations, together form this huge system in the magic hut.

This entire system is creating untold wealth every hour of every day, and even the Mage Guild in Taythemir City may not be able to compare with this entire huge system.

So you can imagine the wealth of the alchemy apprentices here.

As the proverb on the mainland says, a real spellcaster, you have lost before you even see him.

The caster's wealth, followers, and vast vassal system are all included in his true strength.

As the tenth new disciple of Master Victor, although Arthur has a high status here in theory, in terms of real strength, he can only be regarded as the bottom existence.

Sitting alone in the room, Arthur was melancholy like a prince.

At this time, he was holding a palm-sized metal disc in his hand, which looked like a flying saucer with intricate patterns engraved on the surface, but in fact, this was a book, a book that only Victor's personal disciples would have - "Victor's Book of Apprentices", which was a magic guide made by the master to guide apprentices to get started.

Specifically, it is like an e-book, which is said to be all-encompassing, and can solve almost all the problems encountered by an alchemy apprentice from the beginning to the official promotion.

But at this moment, Arthur looked at the book, and what he thought about was yesterday.

At that time he asked Master Victor,

"But, master, doesn't an apprentice need to strengthen his mental strength at the beginning, I have heard people say that spiritual power is the foundation of everything."

Arthur remembered Master Victor's expression at that time, and was unusually disdainful,

"Who told you that?"

"Hmph, maybe for the mages, it's true, but for us, alchemists, spiritual power is not the most important thing. I mean, although it takes mental power to manipulate and make magic tools, mental power itself is not indispensable, and we are not those mages who don't need huge mental power to guide and manipulate magic power. ”

"But, don't alchemists need to meditate, don't they need to condense their spiritual power?" Arthur asked again.

"No, it's not."

Master Victor replied, and then, looking at Arthur's questioning face,

"Of course, it would be better for an alchemist to have strong mental power, which would make our ability to operate the magic guide stronger and more accurate, and it would make us work more efficiently. But, Arthur, have you thought about it, what is mental power? ”

Arthur was stunned.

He also often asked himself this question about what spiritual power was, but he never got a satisfactory answer.
