Chapter XVIII Inside the Library
Xiao Chen, Li Jia and Ye Zi stepped into the door of the Magic Association.
After Xiao Chen, Li Jia also quickly passed the assessment of the Magic Association and became a registered mage recognized by the kingdom. However, his assessment was not as thrilling as Xiao Chen. But in the test, he reached the twelfth layer with the realm of a low-level mage, which was enough to make people impressed. All that remains is for a high-level mage of the Tower of Alchemy to let him unleash a few spells.
The registered low-level mages can bring one entourage into the Magic Association, and the mid-level mages can bring two, but the people in the office have their own things to do, and only Ye Zi wants to find some clues about the shadow gun or the history of the god of war, so he follows them.
Each of the three had a badge pinned to his chest, and the badge was a round piece of metal, and the figure on it was made of hedrons, because of the different classes, the color and shape were also different.
Ye Zi is also a blue star mark that represents the entourage or magic apprentice, and the star is made of tranquilizer crystal, which can calm the wearer's mind. Li Jia's other is a yellow crescent moon representing a low-level mage, while Xiao Chen's other is a double moon mark representing a middle-level mage, much like the original World Chanel logo. The moon is made of concentrating crystals, which can improve mental acuity.
Magic crystals are not uncommon materials, but the source is controlled by the major mage towers, and there are very few in circulation on the market, and the price is expensive. Therefore, the magic association's handwriting is very generous.
There were two spear-wielding guards guarding the door in front of the hall, and they saw the double moon badge on Xiao Chen's chest, and bowed their heads.
"I came alone two days ago, but I didn't see them saluting. Aren't you more than me?" said Li Jia.
"At least eight of the ten mages are low-level mages, so the big road goods are naturally not taken seriously, so if you want to put on a show, you should hurry up and advance. I heard that Sasso, the Time Sage of the Sky Fracture Tower, occasionally came to the Magic Association, and several great mages, including the president, would come to the door to greet him. ”
"Sanctuary, there are only a few of them. I don't dare to think about it. ”
"Is it okay to be ambitious? Don't disgrace the traverser. Xiao Chen scolded with a smile.
The library was on the third floor, Xiao Chen and Li Jia entered the magic reading room that could only be entered by mages, and Ye Zi went to the data room open to everyone.
The magic reading room is not too big, and the square room is surrounded by bookshelves, and there are books on the shelves, as well as picture books, which are quite scattered, and the number of books is not even as large as the elementary school reading room in the original world. In the middle of the room is a set of individual tables and chairs, which can accommodate about forty or fifty people reading at the same time.
There were not many people in the reading room, except for Xiao Chen and Li Jia, there were only about seven or eight people reading books, but these people's expressions were quite focused, some were taking notes, and some were drawing in the air with their hands, as if they were experiencing the structure of the magic model.
Li Jia picked up a picture book of Wind Shield Technique that he had seen yesterday, flipped to the middle, and continued to look at it. This is not a complicated magical structure, consisting of more than seventy drawings. It includes the structure of the magic model at various points in time and from all angles, as well as local enlarged images. It's more like a mechanical drawing than a magic book. Compared to this, the scroll he consumed when he learned to fly was too simple and easy to understand.
After looking at it for a while, he felt dizzy, and when he looked at his watch, two hours had passed. looked at Xiao Chen again, but found that the latter was holding a small book and reading it with relish.
"What are you looking at?" asked Li Jia.
"What's this?" Xiao Chen saw that Li Jia's expression was not good, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get excited, this is not an idle book, the name is travelogue, it is actually an archaeological book." It tells the story of Dane Garfield, a holy magician who investigates many sources of magic. ”
"You've spent a lot of time worthy of your dues. Li Jia said.
"That's how much it is. Xiao Chen put down the book, walked up to Li Jia and patted him on the shoulder, "It's not that you don't know, the magic of this world lies in a fine word, and there is almost no upper limit to any magic." The key is proficiency and one's own perception. It's hard to chew too much. In the past two weeks, this is the third new magic you've been working on. But your first two spells are just enough. ”
"I want to accumulate some more inheritance for the school, and the magic academy and martial arts academy over there are about to open. Isn't the purpose of our visit to the Magic Association to collect as many materials as possible? ”
"That being said, after visiting the association's shops, I felt that it would be easier to buy the brochure directly. We ourselves should take advantage of the opportunity here to improve our realm as soon as possible. ”
'Hey, say it as if you're raising your realm. ”
"Of course, being well-informed can affect the realm. I'll tell you, I found something very interesting. Xiao Chen took his travelogue, "Look here, this Garfield Sage has studied several sources similar to magic. Well, for example, Flying Arts, there is a Tower of Frost Wind that has its source on the Empire's side. There is another kind of flying technique, the source of which is the Tower of the Blue Sky that has been destroyed in ancient times. But there are seven or eight other spells with similar effects, but they are not widely spread, and the magic with different principles cannot find a normal source at all. It's all picked up in the wild, taught by strangers, realized in dreams, bought scrolls at thrift markets, and suddenly found books from the library that weren't registered before. ”
"Why does it look so similar to the bloody scene in the school?" Li Jia wondered.
"Who's to say it's not! Look here...... Xiao Chen patted the book in his hand, "What's even more interesting is that Garfield found that these inexplicable spells often have their own characteristics, and they are often more subtle and refined than those spells that have been inherited normally. Proper learning can greatly improve your understanding of the nature of magic. ”
"It's weird indeed. Li Jia nodded, "It's not easy to invent a magic, many mages are eager to use their own names to name spells, and all spell manuscripts will also write down the inventors and improvers of spells to show respect for them." In general, the more subtle the spell, the deeper the inventor's understanding of magic, and it is generally impossible to be general. How could there be so many spells popping out of the blue?"
"It feels as if someone deliberately sorted out this spell and gave it to the world to learn......
"It's not a secret, many of the mages with a lineage have heard about this kind of thing to a greater or lesser extent. At this moment, a soft but slightly cold voice interjected from the side.
Xiao Chen turned his head to see that it was a very young female magician. She had short silver hair, gray eyes, very fair skin, and was dressed in a black robe, holding a black book the size of a magazine. Except for the slightly red lips, the whole person seems to have come out of a black and white photo. She was originally reading a book in the seat not far from them, as if she was attracted by Xiao Chen's discussion.
"Who are you?" Xiao Chen saw that she had a crescent moon badge pinned to her chest.
"Tarsia Alonso, the Alonso family from the city of Balva. "The female mage performed a mage salute.
"The Alonso family, as I've heard, is a family of mages with a long history. I'm Xiao Chen, this is Li Jia, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Tasia. Xiao Chen replied.
Tasia glanced at the Garfield Travels and asked, "Haven't you heard of 'The Gift of Adventure'?"
