Chapter 01: Blood Elf Academy of Magic
"Magic is natural. Present in every corner of the world. There are in the air, in the sea, in the trees, and in the birds. Under normal circumstances, they simply wander unconsciously. But, when stimulated, it's a different story. ”
"First of all, we have to be able to perceive magic. This is different for each person, for each race. Then, we have to absorb it and become our own magic. Every mage is actually a container jar. The jar is not set in stone, though. ”
"We can forcibly enlarge the container by absorbing too much mana. After expanding, using the theorem of natural diffusion of mana, our efficiency in absorbing mana will be doubled. Of course, this will take time. Therefore, lifespan is extremely important for magicians. ”
"Okay, now we have the magic. The next thing to do is to activate the magic. That is, to release magic. This process is actually based on a 'contract'. Yes, that's right, asking the magic to fulfill the 'contract'. It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Although the magic has always wandered unconsciously, they actually have a consciousness of their own and will fulfill the 'contract' that has been made. ”
"Mentor. As the only student, Angel raised his hand: "But I've heard that magic is based on language, and use a language they understand." For example, Ancient Elves, Holy Languages, Abyssal Languages, and Dragon Languages. ”
"Ahem!" Amos coughed dryly twice, and said seriously, "You are saying this to people who have not yet started. For example, the vast majority of magic apprentices in the academy are not even a magical language. Can only recite incantations stiffly. But you're different, you've basically learned the ancient elf. In this case, language is just a tool. Further, we will explore the 'contract'. ”
Angel put his hand down and continued to listen in silence.
"There's a special discipline called 'contract' science. It's the core subject, but very few people learn it. Because it's so profound. The vast majority of people are wasting their time learning that kind of thing. Its content is the 'contract' that all kinds of magic obey. Combining it with the language of magic is the foundation of magic – incantations. Of course, there are people who call these 'contracts' 'laws', but I prefer to call them 'contracts'. Because these 'contracts' are actually subject to change, although the changes are small, but those changes have been proven over the course of a long history. And the 'law' is something that doesn't change no matter what. ”
"Mentor!" Angel raised his hand again.
You ask. Amos sighed helplessly.
"Mentor, I would like to ask, if it is a 'contract', then who are the two parties to the contract? one side we know is magic, all kinds of magic, but what about the other party? Who can make a contract with magic. ”
Amos blinked and thought for a moment, then replied, "Supreme Will." ”
"What is the supreme will?" asked Angel.
"It's something more powerful than the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord, the true Lord of the World. He is the true God, and the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord are just false gods. Although we have never seen or perceived it for sure, at least half of the magicians have guessed that he actually exists. ”
"Guess?" Angel froze.
"Yes, guess. Amos nodded.
"So, Mentor, what you just told me is all just speculation?"
"Yes, that's right, is there a problem?"
"Of course, I'm a student, I'm here to learn magic, and you're telling me something unproven?" Angel complained, "No wonder I said I hadn't read it in any books." ”
Amos was helpless: "Angel, you said you came here to learn magic? Then let me ask you, what magic do you want to learn? Throw a little fireball? As long as your mana grows normally over time, you will. Cast a more complex spell? You just have to recite the spells, and you don't even need to learn the Old Elves. Tell me what you said you were learning about magic, and what kind of magic you were learning. Angell. ”
Angel was silent, blinking his eyes and looking at Amos quietly.
"I can tell you that, Angel. In the world of magic, everything that is certain is low-level. All advanced content is all speculation. When you really touch the true meaning of magic, there are some speculations that you can't even put into words. It is up to each individual to comprehend it for himself. What do you think the development of magic depends on, what do the magicians do every day? If everything could be recorded on paper, any elf could read the valuable books in the library of the sacred tree in a thousand years. But, do you see that each and every one of us is a great magician?"
Angel was silent.
"Not really, Angel. The road to magic is countless times longer than you think. I know your thirst for knowledge, but that's the reality. You need time, not just magic, but also knowledge. It's not the knowledge you get from books, it's something you think about by chance over a long period of time, and then you feel it yourself. That's the real point. It is also a watershed moment between a good magician and a crappy magician. ”
After a day's class, there was only one student. As the only teacher, Amos spoke dryly, but Angel, who had been repeatedly corrected, listened to it with relish, and the more he listened, the more energetic he became.
To be honest, Amos had never seen such a studious student.
"Tutor, can I borrow your notebook to read?"
"My notebook?"
"yes, didn't you say you want to comprehend?"
"But I've also said that comprehension is a personal thing, and many of them can't even be expressed in words. ”
"It's okay, I can always find clues in your notebook. Of course, it may not work, but what's the point of trying?"
Amos hesitated, but finally turned around, pulled out a notebook from the bookshelf that he had been studying and handed it to Angel.
"Do you think his notebook is useful?" the devil whispered in his ear, "you already have your brother's notebook, would his notebook be better than your brother's." ”
"Who knows? The point is, my brother's notebook is very sloppy, and there are some things that I can't even read. If, according to the teacher, everyone's comprehension is different, then if I combine the two of their notebooks, maybe I can comprehend more?"
After saluting Amos, Angel left his office. Yes, office. Since there was only one student, there was no need for a classroom, and it was taught directly in Amos's office. Just an extra table and a chair.
Looking at the back of Angel leaving, Amos sighed helplessly and laughed slowly.
He is still very satisfied with this student. Eager to learn, divergent in thinking, and quick to respond. The key foundation is also very strong. Amos began to be a little curious about Angel's parents.
"What kind of parent can teach such a child? It's not just talent. Maybe I should meet his parents and talk to them about education and then spread the new model to others. Maybe I'll be a great educator. Not...... However, it doesn't seem to make much sense. Forget it, let's talk about it when we have time. ”
......
In the square, several magic apprentices were training each other, taking turns casting fireball and shield skills. This is the most basic form of magic for an apprentice magician.
The sparring was also mixed with excited laughter. Why? Because even the most basic magic is not something that a beginner can do. Normally, they've been here for more than ten years.
As a person who has been a magician since childhood, who can not be happy when he successfully casts magic for the first time?
Angel was also very happy when he first succeeded, but that was when he was thirteen.
"The cheapest new wand costs fifty silver shells, and the materials for the Sawuti experiment cost twenty silver shells. The McGill experiment I wanted to do would take eighty silver shells to complete...... Oh my God, why do I feel that after entering school, my most important content is not to study, but how to deal with money? I only help out in the laboratory for 40 silver shells a month...... You have to pretend you're already working. My mother has even started to think about letting me hand over the family. I'll have the money left for lunch after handing it over. Holding his book, Angel walked past the edge of the square.
"Angel, magicians play with money. It depends on how much money you have to burn it. The devil whispered in his ear: "Behind every result is an innumerable experiment, and behind every experiment is money." Not only silver shells, but also gold, and even gems if you want to trade with dragons. Without money, you can only lock yourself in your room and daydream every day, become a 'master of theory', and when you have your own student, you can only tell him something 'guessing'. It's like your mentor. Maybe you should find a way to make more money. ”
"I know that my brother used to be very profitable, and he always found a way to get money from various places, and then buy materials and do experiments. I even had extra money to buy all kinds of toys. ”
"Do you know how he makes his money?"
"I don't know. He never mentioned it. Possible...... It's not going to be a good thing. I kind of know what he's done. Sighing slowly, Angel said, "I wish I could recall what he said about leaking his mouth and how to make money." It's a pity he really didn't say it. All I know is that he is rich. ”
"Then think for yourself, Angel. The devil whispered, "You can't live forever in your brother's shadow." You're no worse than him, and you might even be better than him. If he can do it, you can do it for sure. Come to think of it, there's always a way, Angel. ”
"But I really didn't expect that. ”
Two magic apprentices meet and pass Angel.
"Angel!" exclaimed one of the Blood Elf maidens.
It was a girl with long black hair, black eyebrows, and a fair complexion...... Well, all blood elves are characterized by this anyway, and saying it means not saying it. If you want to talk about the characteristics, it is probably that her hair is a little curly and her face is a little big. Larger than the average Blood Elf face. Also, the eyebrows are a little thick.
In short, it is a great beauty in the human world, and a very ordinary person in the blood elves.
Angel turned his head and silently looked at the female classmate who called his name, but he didn't know it.
"Hello, Angel. My name is Mosalili. You duel with the Amos Magus...... Well, I was there during the exam. I've always wanted to get to know you. Walking up to Angel, Mosalili held out a hand towards Angel.
Hesitating, Angel bowed slightly, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand gently.
"Hello, nice to meet you. Moshalili. With that, Angel turned around and left.
Mo Sha Lili was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after Anjar to block in front of Angel: "Where are you going? We just met, shouldn't we communicate with each other?"
"But I've got something to do, and I haven't thought to talk to you yet. Maybe I can wait until I think of it before I look for you?" Angel continued to walk forward with the book in his arms.
Moshalili walked backwards on tiptoe, looked at Angel, and smiled: "You are such a weirdo, I first heard that you just met and left after saying hello." But it doesn't matter, you're a genius, and geniuses deserve privileges. If someone else had done that to me, I would probably give him a slap in the face. ”
"So what?"
"We've known each other, so we're friends. Since we are friends, maybe we can find some common ground. ”
"I had no idea what we could have in common. ”
"Yes, so look for it. ”
"Is there any use in finding out?"
"Friendships can be strengthened. ”
"And then?"
"Hmm...... I don't know how to answer that question. It's true. Probably this is a question that only geniuses ask, and it is not something that an ordinary student like me can answer. Hahahaha. Retreating, Moshalili hit the pillar behind her directly: "Whew!"
Not only did he hit it, but he also fell directly to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Angel finally stopped, but still stood with the book in his arms, not expecting to reach out to Lamoshali.
"It's okay, I'm okay. With the support of her classmates, Mosalili staggered to her feet, scrambled to her feet, slapping the dust off her body, and still smiling at Angel.
Those eyes are almost starry.
It was another female classmate who was with her, and her eyes became colder and colder when she looked at Angel. Didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After thinking about it, Moshalili said, "There's a lecture this afternoon, why don't we go and listen to it together?" ”
Angel was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard Mosharili continue, "Every magic apprentice in attendance will receive a subsidy of a silver shell. ”
"Hey, there's a subsidy, there's a subsidy for attending lectures?"
"Don't you know?" Moshalili was also stunned.
"I ...... I don't know, first heard of it. ”
"Hmm...... Lectures are generally subsidized. Of course, it's all about things that aren't particularly important. If it is particularly important, the course will definitely be offered. And something that doesn't matter...... Generally, there will be a subsidy. After all, who would want to sit there for two hours without subsidies? The auditorium might not be able to sit for a tenth of its seats, and it would be very humiliating for the magician to give a lecture. ”
"Okay, I'll go. Angel replied earnestly.
