Mick's first systematic session lasted only a month, but it was significant for his entire magical career.

It was this month of study that opened the door to magic for him.

By the end of his studies, Mick had developed a very comprehensive understanding of the basics of magic, and had made rapid progress in the science of magical materials and the practical application of alchemy.

Especially for the magic array, with the help of the super spiritual power and insight provided by the realm, Mick can directly watch the inner workings of the magic array with his eyes, instead of touching the elephant blindly with magic perception like other magicians.

Mick found that almost all magical writings believed that magic circles were nothing more than intricate patterns in place of lengthy spells to cast specific spells, and that the principle was basically the same as that of a mage.

But he felt that this view was significantly flawed, even outright wrong.

The magic array in his eyes was by no means a substitute for spells, but a more advanced existence.

They react by controlling magical energy, thus materializing and semi-materializing pure magical energy, forming a variety of magical effects.

To put it bluntly, it's a testing ground for energy reactions.

On the basis of this understanding, Mick came up with a bold idea: since the magic circle creates magical effects through the reaction of magical energy, can he design a special magic circle that can use other energy, such as the divine power in his body, to react and cast magic?

The difficulty with this idea is that the magic circle only works on magical power, and in order for it to work on divine power, it must have the function of transforming divine power into magical power.

Prior to this, all magic arrays were flat and could only perform a single force magic reaction. Theoretically speaking, if a three-dimensional three-dimensional magic array can be created, multiple forces can be reacted to complete the conversion of the two forces.

Mick was overjoyed to find a breakthrough, and he exchanged all the gold coins he received from the sale of the "Star of Federland" for all kinds of magic materials, and then locked himself in Karl's small building and began a crazy experiment.

However, his experiments did not go very well.

The rigor and complexity of the magic array far exceeded his imagination. It took him twice as long as expected, a lot of calculations and experiments, and he gradually figured out the reaction of magical energy in the magic array.

Then, he drew thousands of sketches before he could match the details of the magic array with the reaction rules.

Exactly one month later, Mick finally succeeded in developing the first three-dimensional magic circle in history.

But to his frustration, this three-dimensional magic array did not solve the problem of energy conversion as theoretically deduced.

The three-dimensional magic array seems to be restricted by a certain law, unable to transform different energies, if it is forcibly transformed, either the magic array will not respond to the divine power, or the divine power will immediately go out of control as soon as it enters the magic array, causing a small explosion.

Explosions are heard every once in a while in the building, and Mick, a beginner, is often blown to pieces, while Carl is outside the room, sighing and feeling sorry for his possessions.

This painful and torturous process lasted for twenty days, until Mick, who was at a loss, accidentally observed a magical power with the eye of insight during an explosion.

After consulting a lot of information, he determined that this power was the law.

Mick found that based on the essential difference between the two forces, the law will limit the transformation process of the two forces, and there are only two results for forcibly breaking through the limit, either no reaction or explosion.

Fortunately, there is a conservation principle in this law. That is, when a certain unit of divine power is converted into magical power, the law will intervene, but when these converted magical power are converted into divine power again, the total amount of divine power will return to conservation, and the law will act as if nothing happened.

The backdoor of the existence of the law gave Mick, who was almost desperate, hope again.

So he put forward an even more crazy idea of magic array welding, no longer pursuing the ability to give a three-dimensional magic array and transform two kinds of energy, but connecting the two three-dimensional magic arrays in series to become a circular magic array.

One of the circulating magic arrays is responsible for converting divine power into magical power, and the other is responsible for converting the converted mana into divine power again, as long as the speed is fast enough, it can complete the cycle before the law intervenes, and circumvents the intervention of the law.

And when he wants to use magic, he can take advantage of the moment when the divine power is transformed into magic, and cast all the magic power, and then the law will stop because he can't find the object.

With the energy conversion problem solved, Mick's enthusiasm is at an all-time high.

In order to be able to cast magic with the magic power converted from the circular magic array, Mick connected three combined universal two-dimensional magic arrays in parallel on the circular magic array.

When Mick wants to cast magic, the magic power converted by the circulating magic array will enter the two-dimensional magic array, and the second magic reaction will be carried out, realizing the materialization and semi-materialization of magic energy, and finally casting more than thirty common first-level magic.

This is not the end, Mick, who was born with the attributes of Scrooge, is afraid that others will analyze his research results by cracking the magic array.

So he insidiously added a very special small magic array to the circular magic array, once someone tries to forcibly crack the mystery of the magic array, this small magic array will destroy the operation of the circular magic array, causing the law to intervene, produce an explosion, and destroy everything.

In the future, the only way to open this magic circle is to use divine power to circulate according to the route set by Mick.

Even if someone could crack Mick's prescribed route, who would have thought that a magic array would need to be unlocked with divine power?

Even if you want to get it, the divine power is not a big road commodity, and whoever wants to get it can get it.

"Whoever wants to plagiarize Lao Tzu's achievements is waiting to be blown up!" Mick, who has been bombed countless times, thought viciously.

In this way, the composite magic array composed of the circulating magic array, the secondary reaction magic array, and the secret magic array was designed, and Mick named it "Power Source No. 1". This was the prototype of the later famous "Super Kinetic Magic Core Machine".

"Power Source No. 1" has an inherent advantage, that is, to cast magic, you don't need to chant spells at all, you only need a magic array to complete the energy conversion.

This will drastically reduce the time it takes for mana to be cast, making most mana casts close to instantaneous, making up for the mage's biggest shortcoming in combat.

In addition, the appearance of Power Source One not only gave Mick the right to use magic, but also created a new history of magic applications, breaking the monopoly of magicians on magic, and promoting the development of magic into a new era.

And all this, it has only been three months since Mick has divine power.

After the design of Power Source 1 was completed, Mick began to focus on its practical application.

He chose a Blackwood wand worth twenty copper coins as a carrier. This dark wood wand is thirty centimeters long, with a thin head and a thick tail, one centimeter in diameter at the thinnest point, and no more than two centimeters in diameter at the thickest point.

On such a small carrier, Mick tried to use various materials to inscribe Power Source No. 1. This was a great test of his magic alchemy level.

With thick dark circles under his eyes, he continued to fight for nearly a month, and after blowing up hundreds of dark wood wands, he finally succeeded in inscribed Power Source One on one of the lucky ones.

In the end, he used black wood bark and dozens of high-purity magic materials he had refined to wrap the almost hollow power source No. 1 Blackwood wand, making him look like a slightly thicker ordinary wand.

Mick held the wand, which had cost nearly 10,000 gold coins and took more than three months to create, and his heart was surging.

This is his first true alchemy creation, and it is also the stepping stone for him to enter the magic hall from then on.

Before injecting his divine power into this wand, Mick's mood suddenly became extremely nervous, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. And when he really poured his divine power into it, everything went extremely smoothly.

The small dark wood wand glowed with a faint magical glow, and it looked exactly like when a normal mage casts magic.

Mick carefully controlled the power conversion and magic reaction, and a first-level fireball took shape in an instant according to Mick's vision, and with a flick of his wand, the fireball whistled into the depths of the woods, exploding a cloud of sparks. It was nothing compared to inferior magic scrolls.

"Succeeded?!"

Mick's face was ecstatic, his blood was boiling, like a poor ghost who got rich overnight, and he squandered it and cast the first-level magic lightning spell, lighting spell, wind spell, and cool spell one after another, and the effect was amazingly good.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did he not need to chant a spell when casting magic with a black wood wand, but because he was using divine power, as a higher level of power, when transforming, one unit of divine power could often transform four or five units of magical power. In other words, being a first-level magician, Mick can cast four or five times more magic than other magicians.

In the darkness of the night, Mick let out a hearty roar, he held the Blackwood wand, and shouted, "The world of magic, I'm Mick!"

In the frozen church of Snow Blue Castle, Ilona knelt in front of the statue of her father, praying reverently. The flickering candle flame reflected on her beautiful face, reflecting a struggle.

"Ilona, don't be so distressed before the Father. Father Rolf walked up behind her and said with concern.

Ilona slowly opened her eyes, her face full of exhaustion.

Father Rolf sat down and said generously: "As long as you have a sincere faith, then everything is as you please, and God will give you the right guidance." ”

Ilona frowned and thought for a moment, then made a final decision in her heart, turned to Father Rolf and said, "Father, I want to go to the Holy City of Maltis to run for the Holy Maiden of Light. ”

Father Rolf was taken aback and asked unexpectedly, "Didn't you just refuse to run for the Holy Maiden, why did you ......?"

Ilona smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I, I'm really a little stupid, I can't pass my own level......"

At dawn, Mick and Carl slowly left the Snow Blue Castle on two lean horses, and Mick looked at the still sleeping city from afar, with mixed feelings.

Carl stood quietly behind him and couldn't help asking, "I went to the imperial capital Maltis this time, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, so don't you really want to say goodbye to her?"

Mick frowned slightly, but finally shook his head: "She is a saint, what am I, why let her suffer with us?"

With that, he struck his horse forward, not glancing at the city behind him.

As soon as the two of them walked onto the official road, they saw three mercenaries with long knives on their backs approaching, and in the first rays of the rising sun, they looked extremely cold.

"Are you Master Mick?" asked the mercenary with a thick beard, standing five meters in front of Mick, respectfully.

"It's me, what's the matter with you?" Mick asked rhetorically,

"Yes, Master Pei asked me to say hello to you!" the bearded mercenary smirked, exchanged glances with his two companions, and each drew his long knife.
