Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 041 Promise
Charlie didn't know how long he had been in the Dark Void, until his mental strength was exhausted and he could no longer maintain the state of chasing the stars, so he withdrew from the meditation world, and when he opened his eyes, he saw an empty classroom, and the magic clock showed that the time had passed for a day and a night.
Charlie was startled and stood up suddenly, this time had exceeded the agreement between him and Anthony, and the first time he asked for leave, he went wrong, and he was worried, not knowing if it would have any impact on the subsequent lessons.
At this time, Nar walked in, smiled and said, "Anthony, I have already greeted him, you can rest assured, it will not trouble you." ”
Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, for causing you a lot of trouble." ”
"It's all trifles. Nar took a deep breath and asked the question that had been swirling in his mind for a long time: "How much have you gained this time?"
There is only one possibility to maintain a meditative state for a day and a night, and Charlie truly understands the mystery of star meditation.
"Gain about 7 mana expansions. ”
Currently, Charlie's personal mana pool capacity is 15.73, which is beyond the traditional definition of a first-level magician: a personal mana pool with a capacity of more than 10 and the ability to cast a first-level spell. Of course, in the Arcane Ring, he can still only be regarded as an apprentice.
Hearing this number, Nar's expression was complicated, and he muttered, "For a magic apprentice, this speed is a bit amazing! It's nearly three times faster than an ordinary apprentice! Even if you are cultivated by a Haoyue-level mage, it is difficult to achieve this level."
The first stage of star meditation is a test of will, as long as there is enough time, the apprentices who participated in the course yesterday can complete it, and the difference is only a matter of time; the second stage is the real test, which tests the level, condensation and imagination of spiritual power, tests the understanding of the rules of the operation of the stars, and tests the true wisdom.
I don't know how you can understand the mysteries of the second stage as an apprentice, I completed five lessons in the first class, I have been a mentor in the Arcane Ring for decades, and I have brought so many apprentices, and I have never seen your type. ”
The evaluation is not low, and Charlie doesn't know how to praise him.
"If I complete five hours of content, does that mean I don't have to attend the next lessons?"
"Yes, you have mastered the entry-level Star Meditation. ”
The room fell silent.
After a long time, Nar broke the silence: "Do you want to learn magic from me?"
If this question had happened three days ago, Charlie might have been elated and answered "yes" without hesitation, but now that he is the apprentice of Potions Master Anthony, Charlie doesn't know whether he should say yes or not, let alone whether it is a consideration of character.
There is no doubt that if he immediately agrees to "want", anyone will think that the apprentice is disloyal and unworthy of promotion, and if he answers "no", he will undoubtedly miss the opportunity in front of him.
Seeing Charlie's embarrassed look, Nar smiled and said, "Don't be entangled, just ask your personal wishes." ”
"Do you still need to ask?" Charlie smiled bitterly and said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, of course I hope that my mentor is a more powerful mage, although I have been in the arcane ring for less than a week, but I have already felt the deviation caused by talent, the same apprentice, the difference in treatment is really too big!"
"Little slippery head! That's a beautiful thing!" Nar pointed at Charlie and said, "Yesterday, I carefully studied your talent evaluation data, and I also learned about your outstanding performance on the ship in the academy's foreign affairs department.
You are a bit weird, or rather, you are a very extreme representative, your mental strength is incredible, and your quality in other aspects is ridiculously poor, you can be said to be a serious eccentric!
However, you have mastered the Star Meditation today, and with your comprehension speed, perhaps the advanced chapter of the Star Meditation will not be difficult for you, which means that you can catch up with the cultivation speed of the average genius of the academy, and you will meet some basic conditions, which is why I am willing to accept disciples. ”
Charlie held his breath, sat with his back straight, and listened quietly.
"But you're Anthony's apprentice now, and as is the practice of the Academy, there is generally not much support for changing the master-apprentice relationship, which would cause some confusion. So, even if you say yes now, there's nothing I can do to change your status quo. ”
Charlie couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Teacher, are you kidding me?"
Master Nar smiled and said, "I mean, you need to be patient, the academy requires apprentices to follow their mentors for one year before they are allowed to submit an application for a change of mentor, so you still have to stay under Anthony for another year."
It just so happens that I have a request to you, and if you can meet the requirements, then when you submit your application next year, I will approve your request. ”
The implication is that if you are not satisfied, the door to natural apprenticeship will be closed.
Charlie asked, "What requirements?"
"You have mastered the Star Meditation, then, I hope you can become a qualified Star Mage next year, the requirements are not low, and it is not impossible to complete. ”
"Good!" said Charlie.
Nar bowed his head and said: "Now Anthony's situation is not good, I am afraid that it will slow you down, so, as compensation, I allow you to listen to all my classes for free this year, once the class starts, my assistant will notify you in advance, as long as you are free, you can come and audit." ”
Hearing this, Charlie smiled, this is the real valuable reward! It is the biggest gain for him to participate in the course! Within a year, I don't know how many points I can save for Charlie, the master is the master, and the shot is extraordinary.
"Thank you, teacher!" Charlie stood up and bowed sincerely.
"Alright, if it's okay, you can go back first!" Nar was also in a cheerful mood, and finally reminded him: "You'd better calm down, don't let others notice it yet, and besides, maintain a good relationship with your current mentor, everyone who can become a mentor in the arcane ring is not easy, and smart people should be able to become friends with everyone." ”
"Remembered. Charlie nodded, bowed to Master Nar again, and quickly left the magic tower.
In a palatial small living room, a young man dressed in fine clothes stood in front of the window, through the thin silk-like clouds outside the window, you could see that the courtyard was full of spring colors, and the lush vines climbed on the wall of a tall magic tower in the distance, blooming small white flowers, and the breeze blew, and it seemed that the sound of tinkling could be heard.
Behind the boy stood a burly figure, motionless, like a lifeless sculpture, which had not moved for two hours.
The pressure is invisible, revealing from all sides, such as a capable but extremely loyal guard, or one or two small things in his hands that are worthy of Daniel's net worth.
"So, he single-handedly defeated the pirates of St. Croix?"
Daniel took the opportunity to put down the teacup in his hand: "Yes, Your Highness, everyone on the ship said that, especially Miss Qianxue." ”
"What do you say about this, Gatun?"
As if hearing the sound of the steel machine turning, the frozen statue came to life: "Young master, it's just a group of rats hiding in a dark corner, and they don't have any combat power. ”
"That's by your standards!" the boy turned around and smiled gracefully, "What are the chances of winning if I had a glorious duel with him?"
"Your Highness, he is not your opponent, this is completely incomparable. ”
"What if you remove the equipment?" the boy persevered.
The statue solidified again.
Daniel smiled in return: "Then he is not your opponent, the talent evaluation of the day, I have read his report, the capacity of the personal magic pool is only 8, not even a first-order magician, he shows his strength on the ship, relying on equipment, if you compare equipment, who can compare to you?"
"Well said!" the young man laughed, feeling very comfortable: "It's a pity that I can't go out in person, and attack an apprentice of the Iron Medal, which is not conducive to my reputation, but I am the embodiment of handsomeness and wisdom, an honest and kind promising young man." ”
"Your Highness said yes. Daniel bowed his head in respect.
"Don't underestimate him, it seems that he has mastered the introduction to star meditation, and it is only a matter of time before he catches up. The young man thought for a moment, and suddenly raised his gaze and looked directly at Daniel: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, Daniel, it just so happens that there is a feud between you!"
I don't care what method you use, I just hope that in a year he will not be in this academy, whether he leaves alive or dead. ”
Daniel hesitated: "At the beginning of the school year, I already had an ultimatum that I would challenge him in a year, and it would be enough to beat him then." ”
"I'm afraid you're no match for him in a year's time!" the boy said unceremoniously, "You don't know the value of the Star Meditation, its entirety has been listed as the most desired secret of the Empire, and it will probably lead to the arrival of a Magister Big Bang Era." ”
Seeing Daniel in a dilemma, the boy continued: "I know you like Qianxue, but judging from the current situation, you don't seem to have any hope, even if Charlie doesn't get involved, you don't have a chance, at least you can't pass my brother's level." ”
The boy took a few steps forward and smiled impeccably: "If my brother comes to the door and asks you to quit, you don't seem to have room to refuse, but I can help you solve this problem, and I have no interest in a delicate girl like Qianxue." ”
Daniel took a deep breath and asked, "What does Your Highness need me to do?"
The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth did not change in the slightest: "It will be the first round of the freshman points competition soon, you have a chance, if you have any requirements, you can ask me, and I will help you as appropriate." ”
