Chapter 39: Boarding the Ship
The faint yellow candlelight illuminates the entire house through the silver magic lampshade, and Annick, Reilia, and Heidi are all constantly calculating and analyzing the practice problem left by Lucien, "The Elemental Equations and Their Construction Figures Behind the Apprentice Magic of Acid Sputtering".
This carefully selected spell allows them to memorize some of the elemental symbols, become proficient in the theorems of the foundations of magical geometry, master the methods of calculation, and the principles of mapping elemental equations to construct graphs.
The three children of about fourteen years old analyzed with full attention, with a faint exhaustion on their faces.
There was a knock on the door, and Annick sat up straight, looking left and right as if he had been awakened from a dream.
Reilia and Heidi were half a beat slower than him before putting down their quills, and said a little worried and afraid, "Is Mr. Evans coming back? Will there be another magic analysis problem? Or will you keep releasing magic in the magic practice room like you did in the afternoon?"
During this time, Lucien instructed and did a set of exercises in the morning, and in the afternoon let them practice the release of magic repeatedly, recovering and resuming and consuming, so as to shorten the casting time and understand the basics of the arcane through application, and in the evening, it was to comment and explain the daytime exercises, as well as the magic analysis questions that took several nights of hard work to figure out, so that the three teenagers felt numb, tired, and depressed when they heard the footsteps of Lucian, a formal magician who was not much older than them.
But when they saw the magic that had been difficult to learn and perform in their hands unleashed in their hands, they felt a strong sense of accomplishment and happiness.
Annick shook his head, "Mr. Evans will just push the door in." ”
Hearing Annick's affirmation, Reilia and Heidi both patted their chests: "Fortunately, it's not Mr. Evans." ”
"I'll go see who it is. Well, it seems that night has completely fallen, how do I feel that I have just had dinner and see the clouds red as blood in the evening. Annick shook his head, feeling that he always felt like he was out of time after a few days of hard study.
Pull back the door. Annick was surprised to see Sprint and Katrina, who were ignoring him and slightly proud, standing in the doorway, who had become the leaders of the apprentices with their outstanding talent and rapidly growing strength: "Sprint, Katrina. Is there anything you guys are up to?"
Whether she wants to admit it or not, Annick felt a sense of envy when she saw Sprint and Katrina explain the basics of arcane arts to the other young apprentices, and when she saw them release magic naturally, quickly, and smoothly. They don't need to practice as hard as they do for themselves and Heidi to do this, and there's a reason to be proud.
When Sprint heard Annick's question, there was a look of surprise on his young and already well-defined face. Then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Annick, are you getting dizzy with the questions? Today is when we set off for the council headquarters!"
"What, it's the seventh day?" Heidi had just jumped to the door when she heard the news, her expression was extremely shocked, and she counted on her fingers: "One set of exercises, two sets of exercises...... Well, it's really time to go. I completely forgot!"
Reiria's face was a little pale due to exhaustion, she looked at the night scene outside the window, and her crisp voice was already muffled because of the mantra she had chanted all afternoon: "It's only seven days?"
Katrina's proud face had a little sympathy, "Annick, Heidi, Reilia, look at you! Mr. Evans is new to the arcane. If the guidance is wrong, you have to bring it up, and you can't let him try and torture him. ”
"Hmph, what's the use of you closing the door and doing those repetitive, simple exercises every day?!" Sprint said with a slight tilt of his head, "I think your arcane foundation is still very poor. ”
Reilia subconsciously shook her head and said, "I think it's very useful." If seven days ago, I couldn't find where the Arcane Gate was, now I've touched the edge of the Gate. ”
"Reilia was right. Mr. Evans is a full-fledged magician, and the order he has come up with, as well as the repetitive and simple exercises, I find very useful, at least I can now learn the rest in advance independently without feeling completely incomprehensible. Annick rubbed his swollen and aching forehead and said clearly and coherently.
Heidi also put away her liveliness, and said solemnly with a small face: "In the magic practice room these days, haven't you also seen the progress of our magic release? This is all the reason why Mr. Evans taught him well!"
After the three teenagers expressed their support for Mr. Evans, they all silently said in their hearts:
"If there were fewer practice questions, it would be perfect!"
Sprint snorted, "Of course, magic requires a lot of practice and repetitive practice, and Mr. Evans is indeed an authority in this regard, but I don't mean that. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed back: "Forget it, you continue to suffer, remember to gather in the study hall at ten o'clock." ”
Katrina glanced at the back of Sprint as he turned to leave, and said, "Remember ten o'clock, study hall." It is said that when we get to the council, we will be placed in the magic school system to learn the basics of arcane and magic, and it is okay for you to delay now. ”
"Why don't they take our word for it? I really think it's a lot of progress, I used to have a headache when I read a book!" Heidi looked at the other two aggrievedly, thinking that Sprint was so difficult to communicate.
Reilia also puffed out her mouth: "Although I also think that we are very tired and pitiful, but our progress on the basis of the arcane is really obvious." ”
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, as long as we keep improving, they will always believe it. Annick comforted them, but his face collapsed as he spoke, "We haven't finished our magic analysis questions yet, and today is the deadline set by Mr. Evans. ”
Reilia and Heidi immediately lost their grievances, and said at the same time in resentment and eagerness: "Let me defeat it!"
............
They were once again immersed in the realm of magic, only to be awakened by a tap on the shoulder.
"Mr. Evans. Annick turned his head to see Lucian's handsome and gentle face, but he had an indescribable fear, "I'm still a little bit close to desolating it." ”
Hearing this name that made them revered and frightened, Reilia and Heidi quickly stood up: "Mr. Evans, I am still a lot ......"
Lucien got the "Brooke Meditation Method" and said in a good mood: "It's good to be able to do this." Since we're leaving tonight, we'll postpone it until tomorrow night. ”
"Really?" Heidi almost jumped up, and she said happily with Reilia, "It's so good!"
Even Annick, a relatively silent and ordinary teenager, couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Lucien reflected on himself slightly. smiled and said, "There is still half an hour until ten o'clock, let's talk." Tell me honestly, isn't there too much practice?"
After dinner. Lucien came over to take a look at them, and then returned to his room to experiment with Brooke Meditation.
This meditation method uses spiritual power as waves to refine and vibrate, seeking a special frequency and therefore has nothing to do with the meditation environment. It can be incorporated into other meditation methods, and it itself provides different ways to incorporate meditation methods for different factions, so it does not conflict with the astrological and elemental meditation methods currently used by Lucian.
Experimented. Lucien found that the effect was indeed obvious, ten times that of the previous use of ancient meditation methods, allowing himself to reach the minimum requirements of the soul and spiritual power of the second-ring magician in more than a month, close to the results of the past year. I have to sigh in my heart that in this world, magic is not getting older and stronger, but has developed significantly.
Lucien's question was heard. Reilia blushed slightly and said, "Mr. Evans, it's actually okay, without so much practice, I definitely won't be able to grasp the arcane foundation so firmly." Then she rubbed her feet against the ground in her black round scalp shoes, and her face became more and more blushing. "But if I can be a little less......
"Mr. Evans, it's hard work, but I think it's worth it!" Annick replied boldly, and the progress of the past seven days could be clearly felt by himself.
Heidi also followed Reyalia's example: "As long as Mr. Evans, you don't want us to take out another one just after we finish the exercise, the rest is acceptable......"
Lucien smiled: "At present, it is to help you lay the foundation and let you accept the arcane concept, which will be appropriately reduced later." "That's how my homeroom teacher lied to me at the beginning...... However, it does reduce a bit, because here theory can be directly linked to practice.
Seeing the three teenagers bowing their heads happily and shyly, Lucien continued: "Actually, when you become official magicians in the future, you will find that the arcane basics you are learning are so simple and easy, so clear and easy to understand, I think that calculus and magic construction principles should be deeply hated by many magicians. ”
"Is it really that hard?" asked Heidi curiously.
"Of course. However, this is not too difficult, and I have a hunch that with the rapid development of arcane and magic, it will become more and more difficult to learn in the future. Maybe in a hundred or two hundred years, magicians below the high level will probably not be exposed to it, but if the magicians above the high level want to be promoted, they may need to learn various terrifying ...... Variation...... Not...... Analyse...... and so on, as well as all kinds of unimaginable things that go deep into the micro level and the macro level. Lucien sighed vaguely.
Reiria's curiosity was also piqued: "Mr. Evans, how difficult do you think it will be?"
"It's probably going to be so hard that those high-level mages are eager to travel through time and space and kill the guys who created this knowledge one by one. Lucien replied half-jokingly.
Brush, Annick and the sweat on the faces of the two little girls broke out, and then he asked in a low voice: "Among the people who may be killed one by one by the high-level magicians in the future, will there be Mr. Evans?"
What a terrifying existence is a high-level magician, just like Mr. Astar, they will also be forced to this extent?
"Probably, probably, hopefully. Lucien looked at them amusedly.
Annick subconsciously asked in a low voice, "Mr. Evans, can I turn to the knightly path with my current age and body......"
Reilia and Heidi had similar expressions.
Looking at Annick's thin body, Lucien shook his head and said humorously: "You should continue the promising profession of a magician, the path of a magician is lonely, lonely and hard, uh, no, it is full of glory, wealth and worship." ”
The obviously joking words instead attracted the three teenagers to nod in agreement: "Yes, we heard that the official magicians are all powerful and wealthy, and they are sought after by ordinary people in kingdoms such as Holm, and they are one of the best choices for marriage......"
"Hehe, alright, let's go to the study hall, it's almost ten o'clock. "Lucien understands that the status of a mage in this world is very good, as long as there is no suppression from the church. Because they directly grasp the extraordinary power of terror.
............
In the dark and quiet of the night, two sharp boats glided through the canal towards the pier.
When they reached the dock, the skale did not stop, and continued to sail until a three-masted sailing ship stood out in the darkness.
Tom said solemnly to Lucian, "Mr. Evans, you may suffer a little on this journey. Because of the previous betrayer's relationship, several of our routes to break through the blockade line have been discovered, and now we can only activate the backup plan. ”
"What kind of backup plan, how did the church lock it down?" Lucien naturally wanted to know more about it.
Tom explained simply: "The Church uses precious magical airships, which have only a few dozen units, to patrol the air in mid-air in turn to detect unidentified ships, the sea is long patrolled and inspected by a fleet belonging to the Knights of the Holy Helmet, and the bottom of the sea is partially carried out by the converted Kotao Fishmen. Originally, we bought off a few Fishman Patrol Captains to break through the blockade with the ability of the Magic Galleon to dive briefly, but after Brown's betrayal, those Fishman partners were burned at the stake. ”
"The ...... of the three-dimensional blockade of the sea, land and air amphibious It's good that there is no radar......" Lucien subconsciously thought, "And now?"
Tom pointed to the sailboat, "This is a sailing ship from Viscount Wright's caravan, and he has a deep commercial relationship with us, giving us the opportunity to hide you in the cabin. It's a harsh environment, it's all coolies and sailors, and no knights or priests want to go down, and if you are careful, you won't be discovered. Of course, I will be with you and will be responsible for providing you with water and food. (To be continued.) )
