Chapter 36: Teaching
- I saw a lot of friends asking, and the three chapters owed plus are made up on the weekend, uh, it should be the time of the Zongzi Festival.
..........................................................................................
Hearing such an answer, Tom realized that he had ignored the rebellious and stubborn psychology unique to their age, and he did not have a lot of things to say, so he hurriedly said: " There are some things I think you need to understand first, the current Magic Council is not the magic empire of the past, and the current magicians do not have the stereotypes of the magicians of the past, as long as you do not really become Mr. Evans's apprentice, even if you have studied magic and arcane with him for a period of time, it will not prevent you from becoming a disciple of a powerful gentleman in the future with your own talent and hard work. ”
"I know that Mr. Astar must have warned you that there are countless ancient inheritance magicians who have not been able to obtain the Arcanist rank until their deaths, and have not been able to make a major breakthrough in their magical prowess because they cannot accept the concept of arcane arts, and cannot accept the integration of the results of their exploration of the worldly realm into magic. The percentage of people like them who are promoted to mid-level mages or high-level mages is indeed not comparable to those of you who have received arcane magic almost from the beginning. ”
"You see, however, that Mr. Evans is a full-fledged magician who is not yet twenty years old, and that talent is in the good category even at Council Headquarters. He's so young, he's so smart, and he's got the golden conditions to embrace new ideas, unlike the old-fashioned guys. And he's got plenty of time to be promoted, and maybe you'll call him Mentor Evans in the future!"
The mentor is used to address high-level magicians, and strong people of this level are rare everywhere, such as in the Duchy of Aalto, even if you add cardinals and members of the Holy Sword Knights, there are no more than twenty powerhouses at the level of heavenly knights.
Although Tom's words are exaggerated at the moment, his importance for Lucien is still very obvious. On the one hand, because he was young enough to become a full-fledged magician, his mental talent was definitely not low, and on the other hand, he was deeply impressed by the assassination of Brown. Cleverness and calmness in key moments are essential elements for the vast majority of successful people.
These words dispel the concerns of the apprentices of magic, and show Lucien a bright future, which makes most of the teenagers eager to try, but they have the rebellious and independent characteristics of this age. has the same characteristic shyness, and is reluctant to be the first to come out.
As the atmosphere brews, Sprint, who sees himself as the boss of his apprentices, stands up again. Slightly rebellious, he replied, "Mr. Evans, I still think it's better for me to learn the arcane." ”
"Well, we all have our own arrangements for learning, and we can't disrupt it because of you. Katrina is also a bit stubborn.
Tom's face returned to gloom, he completely underestimated the rebellion of children of this age who did not admit their mistakes and the arrogance of having talent and ability, obviously for their own good, let them make friends with a young magician with great potential. It turned out to be like this.
Just as he was about to persuade a few more words, Lucien spoke: "Everyone has their own choice, and I understand you. What about the others, are there anyone who is studying arcane with me?"
The six or seven magic apprentices beside Sprint and Katrina looked at Lucian. He looked at the two of them again, lowered his head, and grinded his toes, neither of them would be the first to stand up, for fear of being accused by his companions of ignoring friendship.
Their silence infects the eager children, making them want to stand up and be embarrassed to take a step.
In the midst of this oppressive silence, someone suddenly said with respect, "Mr. Evans, I want to learn arcane art with you. ”
"Annick?!" the apprentices looked in surprise at Annick, whose hair was pale yellow and fluffy, his blue eyes dancing with a glint of hope.
Lucien looked at Annick's ordinary-looking face and smiled, "Annick, are you sure?"
"Yes, Mr. Evans. I come from a magical family, I grew up in all kinds of magical legends of magicians, and I was instilled with the powerful and noble image of a formal magician since I was a child, but our family has not had a formal magician for a hundred years. It was a dream of me to meet you, a young full-fledged magician, to be able to learn the arcane and magic with you for a while. Annick replied sincerely.
Affected by the decline of his family, although Annick has outstanding mental strength and is unanimously expected and cared for by his relatives, he still lacks confidence in whether he can become a full-fledged magician, and his arcane talent is not outstanding, unlike Sprint and Katrina, who are confident that he can advance before the age of twenty with talent, so he often tells himself to seize every opportunity, and befriending a full-fledged magician, a gentleman who is about to become a councillor, is an undoubted opportunity.
Lucien nodded slightly: "Welcome, Annick, before coming to Alinge, let's study hard together, every day, uh, make progress together." ”
In the strange and complicated gazes of the other magic apprentices, two more voices rang out.
"Mr. Evans, I want to learn arcane from you, too. With a crisp voice and a delicate doll-like appearance, Reilia looked at Lucien with two large eyes, and she looked only eleven or twelve years old because of her stunted growth.
"Mr. Evans, can I join Annick in asking you for an arcane question?" The tail note is used to rising, as if Heidi, who is always coquettish, has also followed, she is a little baby fat, and her facial features are not pretty, but they are cute. Even a little light freckles on her face add a bit of playfulness and liveliness to her.
At the same time, the two of them quietly pulled the clothes behind Laannick's back, as if to say, as friends, we have your back.
Lucien sighed at the children's pure friendship and said to them, "No problem, you can learn together." Okay, that's the end of it, just the three of them, I can't guide any more. ”
According to Tom, it was communication, but Lucien didn't think that he had a poor arcane foundation at all, and habitually said that he was a guide, but with his status as a formal magician, no one thought it was strange.
Hearing Lucian's words, several of the apprentices who wanted to stand up all had disappointed expressions, faintly complaining about the three of them.
"Hehe, congratulations to the lucky Annick, Leilia and Heidi, and I am confident that under Mr. Evans' guidance, you will make gratifying progress. Tom applauded. "Don't be disappointed, the others may have other magicians before leaving. Even if not, to Alinge. You will also be well taught. It's your own efforts that matter. ”
"Mr. Tom, we understand. Splinter glanced at the three magic apprentices who had stepped forward, and then said to the young men who were surrounding him, "We won't bother Annick, Reilia, and Heidi from asking Mr. Evans for arcane advice." Continuing our discussion. ”
The apprentices hesitated, but followed Sprint back to the blackboard hanging on the wall. Katrina didn't say anything, but she took a few of her fellow maidens to the sofa in the corner to discuss.
Tom reluctantly spread his hands to Lucian: "Children of this age are the most troublesome. Fortunately, Annick, Reilia and Heidi are all more well-behaved and obedient. Alright, Evans, I'm leaving, there's a lot to do. You can pick any empty room on the third floor, and after seven days, we will depart, and try not to go out during this time. ”
"Of course. Bear kids. Lucien sneered, then replied solemnly, "I'm looking forward to leaving in seven days." ”
Seeing Tom away, Lucien beckoned the three magic apprentices to sit on the sofa that had just formed a semicircle: "Introduce yourself, I'm Evans, from the western part of the continent. He is good at elemental and astrological magic, but he didn't choose to specialize, and he will learn arcane and magic from other departments one after another. If you have any questions, please ask me. ”
"Mr. Evans, my name is Heidi, a native of the ancient kingdom of Syracuse, because of my good mental talent, I was brought to Sturk by a Mr. Magician for assessment, hehe, after just a few weeks of study, I entered a state of meditation and became a trainee magic apprentice. The lively Heidi was the first to introduce, and she couldn't help but show off her mental power talent with the character of a child, "I am using the Four Elements Meditation Method now, and the magic of each department is being studied. ”
Little by little, Reilia in a black ponytail: "Hello, Mr. Evans." I'm Reilia, a native of the Gusta Empire, from a civilian family. Since the magician who brought me here is a council gentleman, he is learning the latest 'magnetic resonance meditation method', but Mr. Astarte said that no matter what kind of magic you learn in the future, the foundation of arcane arts is a must, and I hope you can guide me. She was polite, even though she thought Lucien was just beginning to learn the arcane, and still used the word guidance.
Annick had already introduced some of them, so he said succinctly: "Mr. Evans, I come from a small town in the Duchy of Vaorit, and like you, I studied astrology and elemental magic. ”
After introducing each other, before Lucien could ask for the arcane books, Heidi was already holding the thick stack of magic books she had placed on the round table: "Mr. Evans, can you take a look at these books? ”
"Eun, so do I. Reilia chimed in, and Annick nodded silently. Even if Mr. Evans hadn't been exposed to arcane art, he would have been able to tell what was wrong with the abilities of a full-fledged magician, right?
Lucien took Heidi's book, put it on the sofa beside him, and flipped through them one by one, the first of which was "The Symbolic Meaning of Constructing Figures", and the preface reads: " In the ancient Magic Empire, there was a general mystical idea that it was inappropriate to try to figure out the meaning of each part of the construction model, and that it was only necessary to imitate and copy the structure in the body of magical creatures, but in fact, unless the mystery did not exist, as long as it appeared, it could be explored, it could be studied, it could be described, and if not, there was only one explanation, that is, our means, methods, or ideas were wrong, not that it could not be studied and explored. ”
This book, which deals with the basics of the magic model, is the arcane knowledge that Lucien lacked, and he reads it with great relish, and agrees with the words of the author of the preface: "The knowledge of the earth is certainly different here, but the scientific method is common to every world, bold assumptions, strict verification, and rigorous deduction ......"
After reading the preface and looking at the author's name, Lucien was suddenly dumbfounded, it turned out to be Yarolan Hathaway, who forged the magic sword of "Natasha's Thunder": "She seems to be a strong arcanist?"
Lucien didn't waste time, and quickly flipped through the books and included them in the Soul Library. It's just that because the three children are in front of him, Lucien's speed is not too unbelievable, and it is within the scope of normal reading.
"Mr. Evans, what do you think of our question?" asked Heidi and Reilia in unison as Lucien put down the book.
Lucien recalled the vague impression just now, except for the things that were constructed by magic, it was basically the knowledge of the middle and high school level on the earth, so he bowed slightly: "The reason why you can't understand it is that the knowledge of many books requires the content of other books as a premise. "Fundamentals of Magical Geometry" and "Common Algebraic Problems" are the most basic books, and it is best for you to study these two books first, and then study the other books in stages and levels. After reading it, I will guide you and let you master it as soon as possible through the sea of questions tactics. ”
"Question sea tactics?" asked Reilia suspiciously, she knew all these words, but she didn't understand what they meant when they were connected, and Annick and Heidi were equally dazed and confused.
Lucien found himself in a good position and coughed, "It's a lot of practice." "Pray for yourselves, poor three children, and accept the ravages of the storm. (To be continued.) )
