Chapter 49: Principles of Magic
Magic is essentially a kind of energy, there are a large number of magic elements between the heaven and earth of the Beland Continent, and generations of magicians have studied the principles of magic and built complex and diverse magic arrays, so that the magic power circulates in a certain magic array circuit, thus producing different magical effects such as flames, storms, and lightning.
The enchanter's job is to etch the magic circle onto the equipment so that only a little magic is needed to activate the magic on the equipment in an instant.
In addition to enchanting equipment and magic arrays, you also need to build the magic medium of the array, crystal and mythril are recognized as the best magic mediums on the mainland, of course, there are better magic crystals and dragon crystals on top of this, and only forbidden spell-level magic arrays can be used.
As a beginner, the larger the equipment, the easier it is to engrave a magic circle, so Arthur bought a lot of first-class armor, shields, and a few bottles of the worst crystal powder, and then dragged Arno into the room.
The ideal is plump, but the reality is cruel, and becoming an enchanter is not as easy as the two imagined.
Arthur, on his side, mastered the "dark corrosion" to the point that he didn't encounter any trouble, and when a magic was thrown, the surface of the metal shield was corroded into pits. However, to etch the magic array through "dark corrosion", it requires subtle magic control ability, and seven or eight shields were broken in three consecutive days, and Arthur still had no way to etch a straight line on the shield surface.
On Arnold's side, the affinity for the magic elements outside the dark system is too poor, and it took three days to barely be able to release the simplest "solidification technique" of the earth magic, and the enchantment requires the enchanter to instantly etch the magic array on the equipment, and a slight pause in the middle will cause the magic array to fail to ignite.
It turns out that it makes sense to change "dark corrosion" into "enchantment", and the two of them think that the enchanter is too simple.
What pulled Arthur out of the repeated failures was a sudden magical message from the Blood Shine Order, and the academy officially opened.
......
In the horseshoe-shaped staircase classroom, more than 20 young boys and girls sat sparsely.
This is the new class of students of the Magic Department of the Blood Yao Academy, magicians are rarer than martial artists, and only 23 students have been recruited this year after the conditions have been relaxed, while the Wuyun Hall has recruited 118 students in four classes this year.
On the podium, the dwarf magician who did the first lesson was none other than the vice president of the academy, the twelfth-level great magician known as Old Harry, Halix.
"Children, welcome to the Blood Yao Royal Academy! Our Terran Race can reproduce and live on the Beland Continent thanks to the heroic battles of generations of warriors and magicians, who have defended the glory of the Terran with their lives and blood! From today on, you will take over the banner of the previous warriors and magicians, and defend the glory of the kingdom and protect the dignity of the Terran with the brilliance of blood and magic!"
The teenagers in the audience were in high spirits, and a few words from Halix inspired the teenagers' enthusiasm and sense of honor.
"From now on, forget the magic you have learned, and I will take you to a new understanding of the wizarding world. Can anyone tell me, what a magician is?" Halix asked a question that bordered on common sense.
The students in the audience fell into deep thought, except for Arthur, these teenagers are all second-level magicians who have been registered by the magicians' union, but none of them can give a precise definition of magicians.
Halix didn't wait for the answer he wanted, so he continued to talk to himself, "Magic is the energy that wanders between heaven and earth, people can't see it, they can't feel it, very few people are trained to perceive the magic element, but this is not enough, people who perceive and can use magical energy are called magicians." ”
"To become a magician requires four steps: perception, communication, guidance, and manipulation, being able to perceive the magic element, communicate with it, and introduce it into the body to become a part of one's own magic, which is only the most basic part of magic. The key to a mage's strength is his ability to manipulate magic. ”
Arthur listened intently to Halix's explanation, and the basic theories of magic that Harry Sr. talked about were completely new to Arthur. He had studied magic with Adeline, who was a powerful magician but not a professional magic teacher, who taught Arthur a lot of basic magic, but was not able to explain the principles of magic to Halix in such a systematic way.
Halix prepares to demonstrate magic manipulation.
"Somebody's going to show me how to unleash a basic fireball technique. ”
A young man standing closest to the podium stood up gracefully, dressed in the golden and red magic robes of the academy, with a handsome face and long silver hair. After about two seconds or so, a fireball the size of a watermelon appeared in his palm, causing a burst of exclamations from the surrounding students.
It took two seconds to complete the construction of the magic array and release such a large fireball, which is already the best among magicians of the same level, and if this fireball is thrown on the body of a martial artist below the rank of captain, it is enough to burn the opponent half to death.
Old Harry on the podium stretched out his hand, and a huge fireball the size of a bull's head instantly appeared on his palm, causing the audience to exclaim.
"Children, it's also a first-level magic fireball technique, mine is faster and bigger, but it's not that I'm stronger than his magic control, it's that my magic array construction is more proficient, and my magic power is more accumulated, and I'll show you what magic control is. As he spoke, the fireball in his hand shrank rapidly, and finally shrunk into a small ball of flame the size of a pigeon's egg, leaping between his fingers.
"Throw me with your fireball. Halix said to the trainee who was holding the fireball.
The trainee's nervous hand shook, and the fireball on his hand went out.
Old Harry smiled, "What? Are you worried that your fireball technique can hurt a level 12 great magician?"
The cadet blushed, re-unleashed the fireball, and threw the fireball hard at Halix.
With a flick of his finger, the small fireball in his hand flew out.
The small fireball suddenly split in two after leaving his hand, turning into two smaller small fireballs. The small fireball drew two different arcs, one left and one right, collided with the fireball towards Halix from both sides, and then annihilated at the same time as the fireball.
"How is that possible?"
"How did he do it!"
The discussion began, and the teenagers couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Kids, this is magic!" said Halix, with a faint smile on his face.
"Professor, how did you do that?" Arthur couldn't help but stand up excitedly.
All eyes in the classroom turned to Arthur......
