Chapter 16: The Mage's Path

"Nina, you're so beautiful today. With his right hand, he stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, and Alan turned sideways to praise the beautiful little maid who had just brought the coffee.

The little maid called Nina froze for a moment, and then her face turned red, and she didn't know where she had been thrown away, so she glanced at Alan shyly, and made a voice not much bigger than a mosquito: "Thank you!"

Then he ran away shyly.

Raphael, who was sitting next to him, looked stupid directly, and he stammered and asked, "This, what kind of magic is this?"

Thanks to the special sense of the High Mage and his unique emotional perception, Raphael could clearly feel the fluctuations of Ellen's magic when he spoke, and then under the wonderful effect of this magic power, the inner activities of the little maid just now became complicated all of a sudden, and then...

Then it was as if I had heard something terrible, and I became extremely shy!

Alan raised his eyebrows: "How is it, do you want to learn?"

The usual words seemed to carry some kind of special temptation, which made Raphael unconsciously think of the scene of galloping through the taverns of Bay City after learning this magic.

But as soon as the thought turned, this association was instantly suppressed, and he said in an amazed tone: "Can it arouse people's latent emotions? Where did you learn this kind of spell from your kid? As far as I know, the magic involving emotions can only be accessed by the people of the Soul Tower, are you?"

Alan smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think that if I were a member of the Soul Tower, I would need to hire you to teach me magic?"

"That's right. Raphael nodded in relief, and then asked with great interest, "Then where did you get this magic?"

"I have to say it's really amazing!"

Thinking about the image that had just come to mind, Raphael snorted with a retrospective sigh.

That kind of scene is really exciting.

To Raphael's question, Alan shrugged his shoulders and did not answer him, but said seductively: "Do you want to learn? I can teach you if you want to learn, it only takes a little price, you can learn it, and at that time, you don't have to wander around the dirty place like the tavern to find ** every day, but..."

The intriguing tone matched Allen's "lewd" expression, and what it was, it was self-evident.

However, Raphael just looked at Alan with a strange face, was silent for a long time, and finally rolled his eyes: "It seems that your magic is not omnipotent, if you say it wrong, it will have no effect, and even have the opposite effect." ”

"What?" Alan felt inexplicable.

He knew that suggestion was not omnipotent, and if Raphael wanted to, it would not be affected at all, this was a defect in suggestion, and it would only play an irresistible role for ordinary people, and when people with a slightly higher will resisted in their hearts, they would not be affected.

But what is the wrong thing?

Reaction?

Raphael didn't explain, but sighed sadly: "In the body infected by darkness, there is a pure heart, this kind of beauty is rare in the world, you people, you are too superficial, you don't understand me at all." ”

"I didn't save you. Alan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and finally said angrily: "Do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn!" Raphael nodded hurriedly, and the exclamation that had just appeared on his face was immediately put aside, but finally added: "But if you want me to use meditation in exchange, it is impossible." ”

"You know, I'm a very well-behaved person. ”

"Really?" looked at Raphael suspiciously, and Alan shook his head.

I don't know if it's really following the rules, but Alan clearly knows that Raphael really doesn't seem to be able to teach himself advanced meditation.

"Is there anything unspeakable, or?" Allen's unwilling speculation finally turned into a sigh: "Only by spreading it effectively can the magic be carried forward, and the self-isolation will only be abandoned by the times, you stupid mages." ”

Raphael smiled and didn't pick up.

This period of contact made him realize that the young nobleman's mind in front of him was really very different from others, open, and terrifying.

But while he was sometimes dumbfounded by some of Allen's thoughts, more often than not.

He thinks Alan is taking it for granted.

For example, let everyone know about magic, have the opportunity to learn magic, open a school about magic, and so on.

Does he think that all people are qualified to become mages, or does he think that mages don't need to hide secrets, and can open up their means of livelihood to their hidden enemies without any scruples?

"It's still too tender. Raphael secretly laughed at Allen, but Allen also looked down on the current mage world.

Since the wizarding era, the appearance of magic is estimated to be thousands of years, but this group of people is still only in the stage of using the four basic elements of earth, water, wind and fire?

"A group of elementalists. Alan shook his head speechlessly.

Although he is just starting out in the path, because of the existence of the six-pointed star, Alan has reason to despise this kind of dirt buns who can even cause an amazing effect with a zero-level trick.

The two were speechless for a moment, but it didn't take long for Raphael to break the silence: "Although I can't teach you meditation, at least the future direction of the mage can still tell you." ”

"Hierarchy?" Alan silently complained about the setting that appeared in the novels of his previous life, but he was still curious: "What is it?"

"Mage, Archmage, Legendary Mage, Holy Mage, Demigod, Mage, God?"

"What a thing. Raphael looked at Alan in confusion, touched his beard and subconsciously tore off several beards.

"Well, it's okay, you say it, I'll listen. Alan smiled unnaturally, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "But this is the knowledge in the course, and I won't teach you the magic just now because of this." ”

"Hmph, stingy. ”

Raphael looked at the few whiskers torn off in his hands in distress, and his tone was quite disdainful.

"You're kind enough to show me. Alan sneered and fought back.

Mr. Advisor was speechless, and then changed the subject as if nothing happened: "In your cognition, where is the end of the mage?"

"The end of the mage?" Alan thought for a moment, and hesitated to say an answer: "Death?"

Raphael: "...."

"Although your answer is correct in a sense, please listen carefully, we are talking about the direction of the mage! direction, not fate!"

"Okay"

Alan nodded sheepishly.

Raphael said, "Going back to the question just now, what do you think is the end point for a mage?"

Alan said tentatively, "Become a god?"

Raphael glared at the beard and said, "The gods are born and sacrosanct, you kid give me a little serious!"

"Okay, okay. Seeing that he was really angry, Alan nodded hurriedly, and secretly laughed again: "You still believe in God?

Raphael restrained his emotions and just wanted to ask that question again, when he suddenly said as if deflated: "Forget it, I'll tell you directly"

"You can't actually be called a mage now, in the mage world, mages who have not condensed the elemental core belong to the ranks of apprentices, and they are just getting started. ”

"What's the elemental core?"

"Well, remember the first lesson I gave you?"

"Which class?"

"Magic isn't your limbs, you have to think of it as your eyes, your nose, your ears, and even your brain. ”

"Eyes, nose, ears, brain?"

"Yes, you now have eyes, the next step, you need to get a nose!"

"The core of the element is the nose?"

"So to speak. ”

"It's a strange setting. ”

"Don't disagree, I'm not talking about the rules you resist, but the knowledge that every mage must know, it doesn't involve any other factors, it's the path that the mage's predecessors have summed up with countless hours!"

"Well, I'm sorry, you continue. Raphael's seriousness infected Allen, and he subconsciously straightened his spine and listened carefully.

Inside the castle,

The servants could not approach the long table in the center of the hall because of a mysterious force, and whenever they approached, a strange force gently but tenaciously bounced them away, and the two little maids kept trying for a long time with great curiosity, until they were scared away by the butler's serious shouting.

Raphael's voice could only be heard by Allen, and Alan listened carefully until the sudden arrival of another mage!

A short figure in a cloak suddenly broke into the castle gate, and under the vigilant gaze of countless servants, shouted at the top of his voice: "What about Alan's little cub who hangs people's appetites, come out for me!"

"Your Uncle Oliver is here!"
