Ryan's voice echoed in every corner of this small courtyard, and the more than 100 magic apprentices present listened attentively to Ryan's speech, lest they miss any of the words. Listening to Ryan's tone now, it seems very likely that he will pass on this set of know-how to the apprentices in front of him, how can this not make them look forward to it?

"This way of training magicians has been around since humans learned magic from elves. I'm not here to judge its merits, but I want to talk about some other aspects, or parts that you have overlooked. With that, Ryan shrugged his shoulders at Freya, who had just walked in, and the latter smiled at him and stood quietly in the corner of the courtyard.

"Magic has always seemed to be the preserve of the aristocracy, because everyone who learns it is bound to spend a huge amount of money. If you want to continue your enchantment studies, a lot of Mithril powder is essential, not to mention the strange and precious ingredients. ”

"I don't know what your family is like, but I want to talk about my family. My parents are just ordinary hunters, usually young people like me, if they are not farming in their hometown or hunting in the mountains, then they will probably buy an inferior weapon and try their luck at the nearest mercenary guild, if they can break through their fame step by step, then there may be a big mercenary group that takes a fancy to them, so that they can earn more money and let their families live a good life. My companion Oz, who competed at Atlético Royale, is a prime example of this. ”

"I can't learn for years like you, so I can only choose the way to see the fastest results, which has led me to take a very different path in my magical journey than most people. You may not believe it, but when I participated in the Atlético Royale, there were only a handful of magic that I could really release proficiently, and there were no more than 10 magic that could be released. Even when it came time to defend the Imperial Capital, I probably didn't have the same basic knowledge of magic as the magic apprentices who had studied for months in any of the magic academies in the Imperial Capital and Mochizuki City. ”

Ryan's words caused an uproar among these magic apprentices, they all saw all the deeds of Ryan from leaving his hometown to the present, and naturally knew very well what a terrifying role Ryan played in several battles with orcs, and at least more than 10,000 orcs died at his hands, but now Ryan actually admitted that he was not as good as a magic apprentice at the beginning, how could this not cause everyone's psychological fluctuations.

However, these magic apprentices are all elites selected from Mochizuki City, and they naturally have good discipline, so the shock in their hearts is huge, but the entire courtyard is still quiet, which makes Ryan nod secretly in his heart, at least everyone in front of him has met the basic requirements of "combination spell casting", that is, obedience and discipline.

"Yes, I'm not talking nonsense, my 'theory of magic' at the time was very weak. Ryan repeated his words again, but emphatically accentuated the words "theory of magic." After seeing the thoughtful eyes of many magic apprentices in front of him, Ryan continued: "What I am pursuing is to be proficient in a small amount of magic, to make up for my shortcomings with faster spell casting speed and more spell numbers, which has also formed my combat style. Because if I can't defeat the other party with this only means of attack, then I will die. ”

"Having said all that, I think you understand what I mean. Ryan shrugged his shoulders again, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Although I am a legendary mage, I also have my own shortcomings, if you want to learn the theoretical knowledge of magic from me, I guess I can't teach you, maybe the best of you can be my teacher in turn." However, I also have some small experience in areas such as magic release and mana meditation, so now it's your turn to make a choice. ”

"If you are willing to learn, I will not be stingy, I will definitely teach with all my money, I only think there are too few high-level mages in the human race, and there will definitely not be too many, but once you become my students, you can only abandon most of the things you have learned in the past, which means that you must start all over again, and I can't guarantee what kind of heights you will be able to reach in the future. If you are not willing to take risks and wish to continue to increase your power in a way that has already stood the test of time, then you can still stay with me, and I can answer some of your doubts about the path of magic to the best of my ability, so as to reduce the time you spend trying to figure it out on your own. ”

Ryan smiled and said, "You don't need to make a decision now, you have enough time to think about it slowly." On the other hand, I don't really like the rotten aristocratic life, so I don't need any servants by my side, you can still follow me, but only as my students, not slaves. ”

With that, Ryan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take care of themselves, then walked quickly to Freya, who was standing in the corner. The latter has changed into elf costumes since she came to Mochizuki City, after all, her identity is the elf queen. Not only that, but Freya's side was also shrouded in a hazy moonlight, which was a protective enchantment formed by the artifact "Moon Dance" on her body, except for Ryan's strong strength to see through this enchantment, others saw Freya, they could only distinguish a vague figure in front of them, Ryan once asked Freya why, the latter gave him a blank look, and said proudly: "Because I am the elf queen, the most noble woman of the elf clan." ”

Ryan walked to Freya's side in a few steps, carefully looked at the elven queen's outfit, and today Freya was wearing the elven queen's garland crown on her head, and whispered: "I just said it casually, and there is absolutely no intention to slander." ”

Freya smiled slightly, she lowered her tone, and replied to Ryan in a mischievous tone: "It's okay, anyway, even if you really mean to slander, I can't do anything about you." ”

Ryan laughed dumbly when he heard this, and at this time, Clifford came over and saw that the two were laughing, so he said: "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Why don't you come and enjoy the famous pastries of Mochizuki City, as well as the special fruit wine of Mochizuki City, it is not intoxicating at all, although Ryan you don't drink a drop of wine, it should be fine to drink a little." ”

Naturally, Ryan and the others would not refuse Clifford's invitation, so they followed the archmage to the dining room, and the dozen or so magic apprentices who served him when Ryan got up immediately followed obediently. Ryan's apartment was only a few hundred meters away from the dining room, and he was there in a matter of moments.

The servants went back and forth to bring all kinds of food to the 20-meter-long table, and after the five of them were seated, Ryan, Freya, Clifford Flanna, and Barbara occupied a small corner. Ryan waved his hand and said to the magic apprentices standing behind him, "Sit down, since you are my students, don't be so restrained in the future." ”

The magic apprentices hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do, and turned their eyes to the two young female magic apprentices who were standing in front of Ryan's bed in the morning, and after seeing the two of them pull a chair and sit at the table, they did so, but the table was so big that even if more than a dozen people sat down, it would only occupy a normal seat.

Ryan already knew from the actions of these magic apprentices just now that the two 18 or 19-year-old girls had a high status in the hearts of these people, so when the servants were placing knives and forks and other utensils for these apprentices, he asked very casually: "You all know my name is Ryan, but I don't know your name yet, it's too unfair, why don't you tell me yourself." ”

The two female magic apprentices, aged 18 or 19, looked at each other and immediately stood up, and they saluted Ryan according to etiquette, and then said, "Isabella von Natasha" and "Isabella von Nataya".

After listening to these two almost identical names, Ryan was slightly stunned in his heart, after all, he had not received any study about nobility, and he didn't know what it meant to add the pronunciation of "Feng" in front of his surname, but Ryan didn't know it didn't mean that Freya didn't know, after listening to the names of the two girls, the elf queen said in a somewhat surprised tone: "You are Isabella's blood?"

"Yes, ma'am. The two girls respectfully answered Freya's question with a look of pride and pride on their faces.

Freya saw that Ryan still had a blank expression on his face, so she opened her mouth to explain to him: "This Isabella is the first magician in the history of mankind, she was the one who learned magic from our elves in the first place, and she is also the first magician in the history of mankind. ”

"I see, then this Isabella is amazing. Ryan nodded, such a sage definitely deserves the respect of others, and even in a sense, without this Isabella Magister, Ryan is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to contact magic, unless he can meet an elf who is willing to teach him magic and become another Isabella.

"Yes, until now, there is still a portrait of this Isabella Magister in the Moon Temple of Demon Moon City, and there are only three people like her who enter the Moon Temple as non-elves in the long history of elves. Freya knew that Ryan didn't know anything about it, so she told him all about it.
