Chapter 12: Rites of Passage

Andy feels happy now. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info When Andy, an orphan a long time ago, worked and struggled to study, he never thought that he would be where he is today.

He is now not only the leading magician in China, but also has tens of millions of fans. He also won the heart of the goddess he had a crush on in college, and today is the day of his wedding.

There was a secret that he hadn't even told his new wife. In fact, he returned from a wizarding world, and the magical witchcraft he learned from that world became the capital of his counterattack.

Originally, he had planned to take this secret to the grave. But this feeling of walking at night in brocade clothes really made him so uncomfortable and uncomfortable. He decided to share the secret with his wife on the wedding night, after all, he loved her so much.

"Baby, I'm going to tell you a secret"

"Darling, I'm going to tell you a secret" The new wife's voice rang out at the same time as Andy's.

"You say it first"

"You speak first" is at the same time.

"I hate it, then I'll talk about it first," the newlywed wife said with a smile.

"Actually......" She suddenly became slurred, her voice getting quieter and quieter. Andy couldn't help but lean sideways closer to her.

"Actually...... I'm Compson!Roar!" The delicate girl's head suddenly changed to the appearance of a pale, rotten Compson with round eyes and a pale face, and bit at Andy......

Andy sat up abruptly and shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw out all the memories of the unreliable dream just now.

He looked at the sky outside, and it was already slightly bright. Without any sleep, he simply got out of bed.

This evening he will have a coming-of-age ceremony at the Phillips family's estate. Of course, old Brown has already arranged everything for him, he just needs to be on time.

Andy hastily ate something and went to the meditation room to continue his research1 and the sorcery model "Arrow of Fire". Yesterday's events made him very alarming. If Bill hadn't shown up at that time, he would have had to face Capuson and John alone. Thinking about Andy was scared for a while, it was good luck that he killed Compson. He remembered that there was a saying on the earth that "those who kill will always kill", and how could he guarantee that luck would be on his side next time. Only real strength is his reliance.

Maybe he was stimulated, or maybe his good fortune hadn't run out yet, and today Andy's analysis of the Level 1 witchcraft model went unusually well. He has a clear mind and a spring of inspiration, and he can quickly understand and digest what he was previously puzzled with.

Finally, he completed the analysis of the level 1 witchcraft "Arrow of Fire" and began to simulate the construction in his mental space.

When a wizard formally builds a wizard model, if he fails, his mental power will suffer a lot of backlash damage. So they will repeatedly simulate the construction in the mental space before trying to build it to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

The so-called simulation construction is the process by which the practitioner of witchcraft constructs a model of witchcraft in the mental space by providing only a small amount of mental power output. This way, if he fails, the wizard will only take a negligible little damage. Wizards simulate the process of building to see if they have a thorough grasp of the witchcraft model, whether there are any omissions, and so on.

After two failed simulations, Andy repeatedly summed up the lessons learned and improved the way he built. The third time, Andy finally succeeded.

Then the fourth, then the fifth, and it worked.

If it weren't too early, Andy was going to change his clothes for the bar mitzvah, and he almost wanted to go into retreat right away and build a level 1 witchcraft model to become a mid-level wizard apprentice.

However, today is really not a good time, the two simulation failures have somewhat drained Andy's spirit, he is not in the best condition now, not to mention that he has to go to the bar mitzvah. And building a wizard model is rigorous, and there is no room for error. Even if the simulation build is successful 100 times, there is no guarantee that the actual build will be successful. So every time a wizard builds a model of witchcraft, the wizard will carefully adjust himself to the best state.

Of course, wizards with high-level psychic power will have a much higher success rate when building low-level sorcery. Be cautious when constructing your siblings of witchcraft.

In the records Andy has seen and heard of legends, only knights have ever been able to activate power seeds in battle to make breakthroughs, and no wizard has ever been able to break through in battle. This has to do with the different ways they are promoted.

In the afternoon, Andy arrived at Mr. Phillips' estate on time. Then he changed into an intricate gown under the guidance of old Brown. He and Mr. Phillips went to the door to greet the guests.

Most of the guests were some of Mr. Phillips's business partners and their children and relatives, and these people greeted Mr. Phillips at the door and praised Andy. Even though they didn't even know what Andy was before they were invited.

Andy's smile was wooden, and it was almost time for him to come. At this time, several people who Andy was relatively familiar with came together. It's Bill, Elena, and Catherine, the apprentices of the Wizard's Tower.

Andy had heard from Brown Sr. that he had sent invitations to Wizard Stein and all of his apprentices. Now that Stan has refused because he has something to do, Compson can't come, and as for Edward, he won't come to Andy's bar mig.

"Senior Brother Andy is so handsome today, it's really golden, haha" Bill opened his mouth as soon as they met. If it weren't for the public, Andy would have wanted to burn his pants again and let him know what Angry Birds were.

In contrast, Elena and Catherine were much more stable. They greeted Mr. Phillips politely and then congratulated Andy. Catherine was still holding her cat named Angel, and the kitten looked like she was dancing at Andy.

At this time, Geral, who had been helping old Brown and Mrs. Phillips in the manor, also ran out. She wore light makeup and a white princess dress, looking delicate and pretty. She looked like she had come out to see if the guests had arrived, secretly exchanged eyebrows with Bill, and then enthusiastically led Elena and Catherine into the manor.

Andy's coming-of-age ceremony was held as scheduled, and Mr. Phillips, who presided over Andy's coming-of-age ceremony, introduced the history of the Charles family to the guests in aria, and gave a more focused description of Andy's father, Sir Charles. Then it was announced that Andy Charles had officially reached adulthood in the presence of all of you, and would be the head of the Charles family from now on.

After Andy thanked Mr. Leafps for hosting and the guests for coming, the bar mitzvah ceremony moved on to the next step. The name of the next session is "Victoria's Man Is Conquering the Sea"

This name has been complained about by Andy, because in Dallas City, unless you are well-informed people who have been to the royal capital, most people have never seen the sea in their lives. I really don't know how this name has been passed down from generation to generation.

It is said to conquer the sea, but in fact, this ritual Andy only needs to take a deep breath and then submerge his face into a copper basin filled with water. Mr. Phillips, the celebrant of the ceremony, counted the time.

When Andy couldn't help but raise his head to breathe, Phillips loudly announced "two minutes and forty seconds" and the guests cheered. Because the average Victorian rite of passage is just over one point. Andy was able to hold his breath for so long thanks to his quasi-knight strength.

At this time, the guests began to praise Andy again as usual. After the compliments, Mr. Phillips announced that Andy's bar mitzvah began. According to the rules, the first dance party was danced by Andy.

Andy glanced down the hall, and Gera was gone. Remembering the way Gela swore when Mrs. Phillips asked Jala to be Andy's dance partner, Andy couldn't help but shake his head, but fortunately he was prepared.

Andy walked straight to the little girl in the ponytail who was talking to Elena among the guests, and it was Catherine.

"Beautiful lady, do I have the pleasure of dancing with you," Andy said to Catherine, bowing slightly. Catherine was not surprised at all, and graciously took Andy's arm and walked to the dance floor.

As the music played, Andy danced slowly around Catherine, who was more than a head shorter than him. Guests also invited their dance partners to join in. The vanished Gera also appears on the dance floor with Bill. Mr. Phillips, who saw all this, gave his wife a helpless look, and then danced to his lady's music.

"Bad brother, how can you thank me for doing you this favor" After the dance, Catherine pulled Andy into a corner, and then said with the expression of a profiteer.

"Shall I treat you to a big dinner tomorrow?" Andy was indeed grateful to Catherine. Just now, Andy took the time to reveal to Catherine that he wanted to ask her to be a dance partner at the ball, but he didn't expect people to agree in one bite.

"Hmph, don't treat me like a child. Thank you so much, I'll give me a magic stone," Catherine's little white hand shook in front of Andy

"Uh...... Magic stones, don't say I don't have a single one, even if I have this little favor, it's too dark to ask for a magic stone. How about my brother give you a goldfish? Andy let out a laugh that made Catherine furious.

Fortunately, Catherine didn't know the meaning of Andy's laughter, and she insisted that Andy had just been given 10 magic stones by his mentor, and now he was rich.

Andy was surprised, wondering how Catherine would have known that the Mentor had given him the Magic Stone. But she didn't say anything about this little girl. It just means that she has many secrets for sale: a small secret 1 magic stone, a medium secret 2 magic stones, and a big secret 5 magic stones. She also repeatedly stressed that she would not be willing to tell a secret until she had to pay first.

Andy only thinks she is a child's joke, if in her previous life on Earth, she had just graduated from elementary school at her age. The so-called secret is probably "the prank of the day before yesterday scared whoever and whom" or something like that.

Andy repeatedly explained that he didn't have any magic stones, but Catherine just wouldn't listen. So the "bad guy brother" became the "stingy ghost brother" again. When Catherine went to find Elena in a bad mood, Andy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Unreasonable, your name is a woman," Andy sighed shaking his head, a smirk still hanging on his lips that had not yet disappeared.

At this time, Andy didn't notice that Bill, who had just finished dancing with Jera, suddenly received a note handed to him by a maid, and after reading the note, Bill's face changed drastically, and then he ran out in a hurry with Jera......
