At night, Link held a shabby parchment pamphlet and looked at it carefully, while reading the book, he listened to the noise in the oasis, the cries of the camels returning from grazing mixed with the sound of the overseers scolding the herdsmen, and the desert bats skimmed the oasis pond at night, sipping the water in the pond and making strange noises like snickering.

Link endured the strange smell of burning camel dung, and carefully reviewed the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters of the lingua franca that Niata had taught him these nights, as well as the preliminary spelling rules, these letters were similar to Link's English in his previous life, and the experience of being a human being and the pressure of survival made Link's learning progress very fast, not like in his previous life, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

Link reviewed the pronunciation of the letters and the rudimentary spelling rules, and sighed slightly. The tribe is not a lingua franca used in this body, but a language called Mid'an, and different tribes have their own unique vernacular and slang, so for Link, learning lingua franca is to re-learn a foreign language, but fortunately, through these few days of study, Link found that it may be due to the reason of crossing, his current memory and comprehension ability are much stronger than in his previous life, and it is not difficult to learn.

Next, Link began to review Dragon and High Elf again, and now Link is learning three languages at the same time, and the thought of having to memorize the pronunciation and spelling of three languages at the same time in the future makes Link feel a little numb, but the initial learning of these three languages allows Link to move on to the next step of magic learning.

In the Torrell universe, casting spells requires the preparation of spells in advance, and the tool for preparing spells is the spell book, which depicts complex arcane words and spell models, and the mage memorizes spells by interpreting arcane texts and imprinting spell models in the soul at the moment, arcane script, which is a complex language containing magical power.

The development of arcane writing is inseparable from the development of magic, in modern times, the world was first ruled by powerful dragons, and the magic of dragons is the primitive dragon magic, the elves are not willing to be ruled by the dragon, and stole the dragon's spell book from a golden dragon, so as to develop the elven high magic, and the elves invented the famous dragon madness lock, which made the dragons of all Faren go crazy and ended the rule of the dragons. Later in the day, humans learned magic from friendly elven mages and established several human empires, represented by the Netharel Empire. Thousands of years later, the most basic parts of the arcane script that are still in circulation today are still dragon and elven languages.

These basic ancient languages were endowed with magical powers by mages, and Faeron had a widespread legend that children would be blind if they peeked at the mage's spell books, but this is largely true, the arcane script is powerful, and only by learning the dragon language and elven language can you learn the arcane script, and the lingua franca is necessary to communicate with people and understand many magical works.

Link shook his somewhat groggy head and decided to move on to the next exercise, Link took out a handful of camel hair and chanted a spell in a low voice, as Link spoke, Link felt his mental power fluctuate, there were strange fluctuations, and the connection with the magic net began to tighten.

Link hurriedly changed his mental power according to the "Vertigo" spell model engraved in his soul, and a halo that was so faint that it was almost impossible to see appeared above the bonfire under Link's manipulation, and the amplitude of the flame jump seemed to increase, and then returned to normal.

"It's a pity that there are no living people to test the power. Link thought with some regret.

By borrowing Niata's spell book, Link succeeded in inscribed the spell model in his soul and memorized the spell without mastering the arcane script.

At first, Link was ecstatic, thinking that he was a legendary genius, but Nyata poured cold water on Link.

"This is normal, the spell model of the apprentice spell is very simple, you don't need many arcane words, you can build a spell model and memorize spells without learning the arcane script, which can only show that your qualifications are okay, and you can't be called a genius. ”

Then after thinking about it, he took out a sheepskin scroll and handed it to Link: "This is a magic missile scroll I made myself, since you have the ability to cast spells, I will leave it to you to save your life." ”

Although Link was slightly hit by Niata, he was still very excited, and now Link has learned the two apprentice-level magics of "Reading Magic" and "Vertigo", and can cast three spells a day.

"Reading Magic" allows Link to read arcane script, which is necessary for Link who has not yet mastered arcane script, and "Stun" is an attack spell that can stun an enemy suddenly, which is undoubtedly fatal in combat.

Link then took out the scimitar again, and practiced for a while according to the fighting skills of the warriors who peeked at the training in the past few days, and felt a little heavy, with his current strength, even if he used the "stun technique" in the battle, he was afraid that even a warrior would not be able to deal with it, and Niata had just confided in himself at night that he wanted to flee the tribe.

"You said the two of us ran away from the tribe?" Link asked, a little surprised.

Niata looked very calm: "In the desert, you can't continue on the path of magic without the teacher's teaching, I have long been a fourth-level mage, and after the teacher's death, I have not been able to become a fifth-level mage because there is no one to teach, and I can't rely on spell books alone." ”

"And the tribe does not allow mages to exist, mages are equal to plagues in the desert, whether I want to survive or go further on the path of magic, I must leave. Njata paused and said.

"It's the same for me, sooner or later I'll become a shepherd slave if I stay, and the magic tribe won't be able to tolerate me. Link thought for a moment and said firmly.

Niata nodded: "The tribe will not let us escape, I am a fertile woman, you are a quasi-shepherd slave who can work, they are all valuable assets of the tribe, and once everyone finds out that we are mages or weak mage apprentices, we will be expelled." ”

Looking at Link's expression, Niata said with some sarcasm, "Don't give us any food and water, and expel us to the depths of the desert." ”

Link was silent and looked at Niata steadily, "Do you have any plans?"

Niata shook her head: "You have to be as strong as possible first, two mage apprentices are more useful than one." Looking at Link's worried expression, Niata said again, "Zacia promised to help us, hurry up and become stronger." ”

Link sat in front of the campfire, the desert was very cold at night, and even in front of the campfire, he could feel a little cool, and the oasis had somehow returned to peace, and everything was silent.

Link thought of his body's father, Zasya, if he planned to help him escape, he would undoubtedly betray tradition, betray the tribe, as a chief, he would sooner or later be defeated by the young warrior and merge with the ancestral spirit, in this world with gods and souls, what will happen to him who betrays the tribe?

After thinking about it for a long time, Link sadly found that he had no choice, whether it was Zacia's future or his own future. "I must live. Link thought firmly.
