Chapter 5: The Stars That Shine

Mark Sivin is very glad that his predecessor was not a gentleman, otherwise with his current situation, he would hardly see any future.

Mark Sivin's teacher is Master Tataan, a famous fifth-level magician in the Romance Empire, and in this world where magicians are scarce, fifth-level magicians are enough to become guests of the imperial royal family.

Mark Sivin was the only one of Duke Mendel's many children to have the talent of a magician, albeit poorly. For the sake of Mark Sivin and the Sivin family, Mendel did everything possible to establish a friendship with Tataan and asked him to accept Mark Sivin as a disciple.

Mark Sivin studied with Tataan for six years, and during these six years, Mark Sivin did not slack off, no matter how slow his progress was, he did not slack off for a single day. In addition to meditation, Mark Sivin also focused on magical potions. In this regard, Tataan's attainments were not high, but for Mark Sivin, it was enough.

Magical pharmacy is to integrate spiritual power into materials with magical power, and refine them by adding different materials, so as to obtain magical potions with magical functions. This discipline requires a high level of talent, and perhaps only one out of ten magicians can achieve something.

Mark Sivin's magical talent is too low, and he hopes to become a magician through other means. However, his efforts were in vain in Tataan's eyes. So, most of the time, Tataan just threw Mark Swin some books and let him read them for himself.

In this way, Mark Sivin accumulated a fairly solid foundation in magical pharmacy.

"For me right now, the Starlight Elixir is the most suitable. However, the main material of this potion is astral plants, such as astral grass, star tree, etc. I don't know if this kind of magic plant exists in the Red Clay Ridge. Hey, it's still too little strength under his hands, otherwise there is always a possibility of finding it along Honglin Town. ”

Mark Sivan was helpless, and the only person he had on hand now was Evan. Evan was okay as a dog, counting on him to find the magic plant...... Maybe he just left Honglin Town and was fed by the red-tailed wolf.

"Red Clay Ridge is very desolate, but there is no shortage of beasts, even magical beasts. Without the strength of a first-class warrior, it is almost impossible to move an inch. ”

Mark Sivin thought of finding it himself, he had eight times the mental power of ordinary people, and he mastered two magic spells at the same time: the Silt Technique and the Ring of Fire. These two, one is a support magic, and the other is an attack magic, and they are also very powerful together. However, Mark Sivin is too weak in mental power, the speed of spell casting is too slow, and his mental power can only support the release of a spell.

At night again, Mark Siwen meditated on the second floor of the stone tower against the moonlight and starlight as usual, and the mysterious stargate suspended above his head, swallowing the surrounding moonlight and starlight, and after that, a stream of spiritual power flowed into Mark Siwen's body, but only a very small part was absorbed by him.

Two hours later, Mark Sivin was about to close the stargate when a sudden change occurred. The Illusory Stargate, which was originally floating in the air, suddenly broke free from Mark Sivin's control and became an entity. The Entity Stargate was more than a meter tall and half a meter wide, like a window, and landed in front of Mark Sivin

"Bang!"

Mark Sivan was taken aback.

"What's going on?"

Mark Sivin was full of doubts, although he was carried through by the Star Gate, he didn't know much about the Star Gate. In the past three months, Mark Sivin has also tried various methods to communicate with the stargate, dripping blood to recognize the master, and spiritual power penetration, Mark Sivin has tried, but there is no change in the stargate. However, this is the first time that Stargate has been out of control like today.

The window-sized stargate stood in front of Mark Sivin, as if it had taken root, very stable. Stargate faced Mark Seevin, and a faint light shone on Mark Seevin, taking him by surprise.

Mark Sivin walked around behind the stargate, and there was no light source behind the stargate.

"This light is emitted by the star gate itself!"

Mark Sivin took a closer look at the stargate, and on the front, the originally dim carvings of stars, one of which was like a candle flame, was lit by an unknown force.

Mark Sivin could see clearly, although the brightness was not high, but there was indeed a star that lit up!

"Why is this star shining? Could it be because this door has absorbed enough starlight and moonlight? Mark Sivin had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't confirm it right now.

In fact, Mark Sivin was more concerned with the meaning of the lit stars.

Mark Sivin counted carefully, and the stars carved on the door were densely packed, and there were at least a thousand in number. However, those stars are carved in large and small, deep and shallow, and the one that lit up just now happened to be the smallest and shallowest star.

"If these stars need the stargate to absorb the moonlight and starlight to light up, then this smallest and shallowest one must need the least amount of energy. From this logic, it should be lit first. And reality, too! ”

In his previous life, Mark Swewin was a business elite, meticulous in logic and good at reasoning, and in a very short time, he came up with a realistic guess. Of course, because he has so little information, he can't be sure whether this guess is correct or not.

After hesitating for a long time, Mark Sivin slowly put his hand on the lit star.

"Click......"

When Mark Sivin's palm covered the stars, the stargate, which was as small as a window, made a continuous sound. After that, the stargate separates from the center, as if two doors were slowly opening.

When the stargate opens, a bright but undazzling light blooms through the door.

"The door is open!" Mark Sivin's eyes widened, he had been in this stargate for nearly ten years, but this was the first time he had seen such a change.

Mark Sivin looked into the door, wondering what was on the other side of the door. Unfortunately, the light in the door obscured his vision, and no matter how hard he tried, he only saw a white expanse.

After more than ten minutes, Mark Sivin withdrew his hand from the lit star, and after that, the stargate closed again. However, Mark Sivin tried to put the stargate away, but he couldn't, and the stone, window-sized stargate was there, and he couldn't shake it in any way.

"Master!" Mark Sivin was still pondering the Stargate when Evan hurried over.

"What makes you so flustered?" Mark Sivan was upset, and Evan interrupted his thoughts.

Even though it was winter, Evan's chubby face was covered with sweat. He wiped it and slowly walked over to Mark Syvin.

"Master, the guards in the house have found the trace of the red-tailed wolf, which is less than a kilometer away from the manor." Evan had a panicked look on his face, he usually relied on the power of Mark Sivin to be powerful in front of others, but if he was to face a ferocious beast, Evan would be weak to think about.

"Red-tailed wolf? How many are there? Mark Siwen couldn't help but sit up, although the red-tailed wolf is not a monster, its destructive power is also very amazing.

"How many? This, I don't know...... As soon as I heard the news of the red-tailed wolf, I immediately came over to report it to the owner. Master, what do we do now, should we go to the town for refuge? Ewen said.

A cold light flashed in Mark Sivin's heart: "Then you can avoid it." ”

Evan was overjoyed: "Yes, master......"

Immediately, Evan reacted.

"Master, what about you?"

"Of course I'm at the Baron's Court." Mark Sivin said expressionlessly.

Evan's face turned pale, and he couldn't help kneeling: "Master, if you don't leave, how can I go?" I'm not afraid of death, I'm thinking about you. I have inquired that once the red-tailed wolves are dispatched in winter, they are all in groups, at least a dozen. With our current guard strength, it is simply not enough to protect the Baron's Palace. You're here, it's too dangerous. ”

Mark Sivin snorted lightly, "Even if you react quickly, Evan, the next time I hear you like this, you won't have to follow me." How's the Guards training? ”

Ewen hurriedly said: "It's very smooth, I equipped them with spears and armor, although they are not as good as the family's guards, but in Honglin Town, they are absolutely invincible!" ”

"How's Morey?" Mark Sivin asked again.

Evan hesitated for a moment and said, "He'...... Very good. Although Morey is young, his strength grows rapidly. Now, his strength is comparable to that of a squire knight. ”

Mark Siwen nodded, in this world, a normal adult can have a strength of about five hundred catties, and if he wants to be stronger, he can only train as a warrior or knight. Below the official knight is the squire knight, whose rank is the same as that of a magician's apprentice. The bottom line of the strength of the knights of the guards is five hundred kilograms, that is, one thousand catties.

Morey is only a teenager, and he has a strength of 1,000 pounds after only three months of training, indicating that he has a high probability of becoming a full-fledged knight in the future.

"Have you taught Morey all the rules?" Mark Syvendo.

Evan nodded: "Yes, master, for these three months, I have personally taught the rules of the Morey family. ”

Evan originally wanted to embarrass Morey, but seeing that Mark Sivin valued him so much, and Morey was indeed talented, Evin, who had always been knowledgeable, gave up his hostile stance with Morey and intended to have a good relationship with him. Morey was still a child, how could he have so much thought as Evin, and he was quickly co-opted by Evin.

Mark Sivin asked Evin to teach Morey in order to brainwash young Morey into being true to him. This is not the first time Evin has done this work.

"Very well, I'll get Morey later, and I'll let him follow me later. In addition, if Morey has any needs in his cultivation, you have to do your best to meet them, understand? Mark Sivin snorted softly.

"Yes, master. But ......"

"Say!"

"Master, when we left Roland City, we took only one hundred and twenty gold coins with us, and seventy-eight were used on the way. In the past three months, eleven ...... have been used in the house."
