Inside the shimmering metallic halls of the Magic Council headquarters.

Lazar kept laughing loudly, almost out of breath: "Lucien, Lucian, don't you see Lady Lauvet's face, it's as black as the Iron Furnace Man in the desert to the south! It's like just getting a hundred arcane points and being told that the wrong person sent them, ha, or maybe your house is on fire and your savings have been ransacked...... I'm so happy to see it! A lot of people hate her!"

"It's just something that can be done according to the laws of the mission area, but it's really hard to understand what she thinks for why she will make her like this. Lucien shook his head with a smile in his hand, holding a stack of books in his hand.

Lazar stroked his chest and stopped smiling: "Lady Lauvet is the kind of person I mentioned who is old and feels that her thinking has become dull and has no hope of promotion, so she desperately saves money to have a rich and beautiful old age and leave a valuable legacy to her children and grandchildren." When they saw the magician who was still busy improving his strength and knowledge, he always had a look on his face that someone else owed her a lot of money. ”

"Well, I can understand them, but I hope I won't be like them after sixty. ”

"It's hard to imagine that Lazar, always full of sunny smiles, would have that hateful expression. Lucien pondered for a moment, "Hehe, let's try it in advance, you lend me thirty arcane points, and then I'll pay you back in a hundred years." ”

Lazar glared at Lucian: "This is the harvest of my hard work to improve the magic, Lucian, can you bear it? Hehe, speaking of which, you actually ran into those three little ghosts again, I wonder what their expressions will be?"

Among the five schools of magic and wizardry in Alinge, the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the best, specializing in force fields, electromagnetism, astrology and elements, followed by the Alinge School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Bisancho School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The former is good at necromancy and summoning, and the latter is good at transfiguration and illusion, and the Trident School of Magic mainly teaches the latest three factions: electromagnetism, heat, and light and darkness. The Aalborg School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is all about alchemy, elementalism and heat.

However, because they are all for magic apprentices, there are teachings in each school and each faction, but with a slight emphasis.

"Happy, then painful. Lucien replied in the affirmative. "Then I had to buy a storage bag, otherwise it would be a hassle to carry so many books and a suitcase every time. ”

"Of course. Vasim's alchemy shop, a century-old reputation ......" Lazar replied casually.

............

"Ordinary storage bags, three-level magic items, constant three-ring magic 'shrinkage', which can scale and store items in a fixed ratio of sixteen to one, while reducing weight by eighty percent and masking magic fluctuations, is worth four hundred arcane points. ”

Lucien carried the black storage bag in his hand. It's really like a knife, and he feels that his life is gray, and he spent three high-quality Hailan Stones plus fifty-eight gold tales and six arcane points, and instantly turned himself from a rich man to a commoner, and it is the size of a palm. After loading the magic notes, books, and magic materials, most of the space has been consumed.

Seeing Lucian's faintly twitching face, Lazar smiled and comforted: "Lucian, don't be heartbroken, if it weren't for the standard magic items, just the third-level assessment, you wouldn't be able to buy even a thousand arcane points! Besides, storage bags are a must-have item and it's worth the cost. ”

"Hey, I didn't expect Lucien that you have so many high-quality Hailan stones. If I need it in the future, it will be cheaper to buy it from you, right?"

"Alright, alright, in another week, after the release of the "Common Arcanist Monthly", your Arcane Points will be slowly rising, and I don't know how many Arcanists want to improve the magic that has been evaluated as seriously flawed but groundbreaking. ”

"Lazar, your clothes are also standard, huh?" Lucien replied a little blankly.

Lazar replied with a solemn expression: "The meaning of my magic robe system refers to style...... Where do we go next?"

At the mention of this topic, Lucien woke up a little from the grief of near-bankruptcy: "Library, basic arcane library!"

I'm going to make up for my losses! Let the vast number of books comfort my soul!

............

"What?!Can't browse in advance?!"

Even Lucian, who had always been able to keep his calm, couldn't help but ask rhetorically when he heard the bad news.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lucien has no repressed feelings at the headquarters of the Magic Council, and the character that was suppressed by life before is slowly resurfaced, and he is no longer blindly calm and cold.

The short old man who managed the library saw Lucian's reaction and smiled: "Young man, you have too little life experience. As early as a few decades after the establishment of this basic arcane library, there were magicians who relied on the powerful memory of their souls and spiritual power to memorize the contents of the library's books, and later created all kinds of magic fluctuations imperceptible recording magic arrays, frantically recording the books here. ”

"But knowledge is equal to strength, and it is equal to wealth, how can they be allowed to obtain it for free in this way?"

His white hair is mixed with black silk, his red pupils are a little cloudy, and his appearance is slightly old, but he actually looks very energetic, very temperamental, and has no wrinkles.

However, his appearance is extremely obscene in Lucian's eyes at this time, and his heart seems to have been struck by lightning, don't let me look through how I recorded it in the soul library, those magician seniors, why don't you wait for me to come before making a stupid attempt?!

"But if I can't browse it in advance, how do I know that the Tao is what I want to learn?" Lucien tried to die.

The short and handsome old man stretched out his index finger and shook it: "Young man, the excuses you make are the same as those stupid people at the beginning. Then he patted the magic array on the counter, a puff of green smoke rose up, and the top half turned into a rough man with a bare chest, wearing a black soft hat on his head, "Alex, the manager of the basic arcane library, the djinn, tell me what knowledge you need, and he will immediately tell you which books you can borrow, where they are, and what the approximate content is." He is a special alchemical being made from a fire djinn hidden inside a lamp and some soul fragments. Focus on memory. ”

"Welcome, Alex is here for you. "Managing a djinn is much more polite than a short old man.

Lucien restrained his grief and tried to ask calmly, "How much does it cost to rent a book?"

"This library is only open to magicians within the council. A book is rented for seven days and ten silver narls. The management djinn replied with a smile on his face.

"So expensive?!" Lucien found out that this place was a robbery, Aalto only bought a thick book for one or two silver narls, and here it cost ten silver narls for a lease alone!

The short old man shook his head with a lewd expression: "Sad." Young people today don't understand the preciousness of knowledge! In the past, if they wanted to see a new magic book, they had to either exchange it for their own magic books or pay a sufficient price. At least a few dozen quintals worth of magic materials......"

Seeing that he had a tendency to keep rambling, Lazar quietly pulled himself behind his back, and Lucien rubbed his temples and said, "Except for a book of ten silver narls, there are no other rules?"

"If you pay two arcane points directly, you can borrow forty books in a month, and each book is also for seven days. Four arcane points, eighty books, and so on. Alex said it another way. "But in that case, you can't replace it with Quintal and other items, just arcane points. ”

This is half the price of the previous method, and is an obvious encouragement for mages to use arcane points.

Although Lucien wanted to exchange the remaining three high-quality Hailan Stones, he endured it considering the cost of his next experimental materials. He took out the magic badge and handed it to the short old man: "Handle the rental of forty books a month." ”

The short old man crossed out two arcane points with the magic array, handed the magic badge to Lucian, and his expression was rare and serious: "Since you want to learn magic, don't skimp on money on books and experimental materials, and magic items and so on are enough." You can ask Alex what books you want to rent. ”

"Mr. Alex, what are the papers on the most cutting-edge research on the soul and the human body?" Lucien asked, always wondering about the status of his research in this area.

Alex thought about what the front representative meant, and after a few seconds replied:

"Some Inferences on the Soul as a Carrier of Consciousness" by Vicente Miranda, Grand Arcanist;

"A Discussion of the Elements of the Soul and Special Electromagnetic Waves" by Vicente Miranda, Grand Arcanist;

......

"Analyzing the Principles of Divine Techniques such as Severed Limb Regeneration and the Source of the Great Knight's Resilience from the Memory of Cells and Trying to Simulate It", Author, Level 4 Arcanist Felipe. ”

Lucien said with a little surprise, "Felipe?"

This paper has reached the level of cellular memory?!

However, when I think about it, the ancient magicians simulated the development of magical creatures, and had a rich accumulation of body structure, coupled with the real existence of severed limb regeneration and the strong resilience of some magical creatures, when necromancy entered the cell realm under the leadership of the Grand Arcanist Vicente Miranda, it was normal to have similar discoveries.

This is where the world of magic and magic transcends the earth.

"Yes, Mr. Felipe relied on this paper to make a sensation in the entire Council of Magic, becoming a fourth-level arcanist and a magician trained by the Pale Hand, and the reputation of genius is even louder than that of Mr. Ulysses. Lazar was half afraid and half admiring.

Lucien nodded silently, when he first met Felipe, he always felt that he was too proud and confident, but now it seems that he is really capable, has the qualifications and source of self-confidence.

Coming back to his senses, Lucien borrowed two Arcane journals and one Magic journal that published several of these papers, and then borrowed three basic books in the soul realm, and continued: "Mr. Alex, please help me find a paper on the detailed properties of the various elements, all the elements that have been discovered so far are required." If there are papers that try to describe them as a whole, find them as well, such as papers that want to find connections between them. ”

"Lucian, how did you come up with the idea of borrowing these papers?" Lazar asked a little strangely before Alex spoke, if the treatise on the soul realm was to broaden his horizons and make up for his shortcomings, then the essay on the elements described by Lucian was a bit unconventional, and he should have laid a solid foundation by redefining the part of the paper.

Lucien turned his head to look at him and smiled as if he knew what he thought: "I'll borrow the paper on the foundation later." But as a magician who is good at the elemental system, if you don't even know what elements are currently there and what the properties of each of these elements are, it will be too much of a failure. ”

And it's about preparing for your own magic experiments in the future.

This explanation made sense, and Lazar didn't say much, and began to think about which magic book he should borrow to go back to study. (To be continued.) )
