However, Salin quickly reacted, his eyes widened, and he cried out, "Magician!

His voice was excited and fearful, and the last few words were almost choked. Saleen never imagined that a magician would appear in front of him. Ceylon City has not had a magician for more than 200 years, which does not mean that everyone does not know about the existence of magicians.

The magician represents mystery, status, horror, remoteness. Ordinary people have no access to magicians at all, and only nobles, emperors, military, and the super-rich can have the privilege of knowing magicians.

Magicians are very wealthy people who live in isolation and possess great magical powers. A single mage can destroy a city, and even in front of the emperor, the mage does not have to bow his head......

In other words, the magician is the living legend. They build magic towers and practice in them, and worldly forces cannot be restrained, and even if there is a war, the armies of any force will go around the magic tower. If a nobleman gains the favor of a magician and gets the opportunity to support a magician, the status of this nobleman will immediately increase.

Saleen's mind was in turmoil, and he was keenly aware that the appearance of this magician would change his fate. But he didn't know how to grasp it, was it going to ask for more money?

Coins!Coins!Bread......

"A hundred gold coins, okay? I'll go to the city and buy you a small house, enough for you to live in." The magician looked at the child with some pity. Salin's body is so thin that he can count the number of ribs. The ribs were still covered with black blue, and they looked even more pitiful.

Salin was overwhelmed by the amount of a hundred gold coins, and he almost immediately agreed to it. But the pain in his ribs suddenly came, and he took a breath of cold air, frowned, and bent down.

"Oh, let me see. The magician held Saleen in one hand, and unleashed a spell with the other. A cyan light shone brightly, enveloping Salin's body.

Saleen felt like he was soaked in warm water, blue light seeping through his skin, and the pain in his body vanished.

A thought crossed Salin's mind, as if it were the temptation of the devil, lingering.

"I don't want gold!" Salin straightened up and said, "Mr. Magician, please accept me as a student." ”

Salin didn't know how to salute, he looked up and looked the magician in the eye. At this moment, his mood can no longer be described as apprehensive. How will the magician react? Do you feel that you have insulted the mage profession, will you turn around and kill yourself?

The magician's black eyes were deep, bright, obsidian-like, as if they had an inner texture. He looked at Salin thoughtfully and said, "You want to be my student?"

"Yes, I'm going to learn magic. Salin's voice was firm. Despite the fear, the hurt in his ribs irritated his heart. What's the use of selling a house for more money, sitting on empty seats, and not having the same survival skills. If you encounter a thief, you may not even be able to save your life.

"It's hard to learn magic. The magician stopped Salin from interjecting and continued, "Nine out of ten people can become magic apprentices, but out of a hundred magic apprentices, only one or two may become magicians. The power of a magic apprentice is not very strong, and it can only be used as a skill to earn a living. If you become my student, you are not allowed to change careers without my permission. ”

Salin fell to his knees and bowed his head, "I am willing to be your student." He tried to make his words as vulgar as possible, and learned to use honorifics.

"Get up. The magician's voice grew cold, and he said in an unquestioning tone, "Even a magic apprentice can't bow his knees to others. You have to remember that if you want to be my student, this is the last time you kneel in your life. ”

"Yes, teacher. Salin stood up with joy, knowing that the magician had granted his request.

"What's your name, how old are you?" the magician's voice softened again.

"My name is Saleen Metatrin and I'm 12 years old. Salin replied respectfully, but his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

The magician smiled and said, "You go change your clothes and eat something, I'll wait for you in the living room." ”

"Hmm. Salin agreed, and ran quickly to the second floor. He went back to his room, put on his coat, and ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. Half a bag of old rice on the stove was still there, and he opened the oiled paper bag, grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You're going to eat this?" the magician's voice sounded in the doorway, and Salin was startled, and he stopped, embarrassed and didn't know what to say. The magician sighed, took out a piece of dried meat, and handed it to Salin. Salin's tears fell straight down and didn't even stay in his eye sockets for a moment.

He wiped it with his sleeve, and instead of eating the dried meat, he first said to the magician: "Teacher, I won't cry in the future, and I won't embarrass you." ”

The magician watched the boy gobble up his words while weeping, and didn't say anything. In fact, with his identity, even if he gives him 10,000 gold coins, he may not be able to impress him to accept a student. Just the first time he saw Salin, he felt very unbearable. There was no life in Saleen's eyes, all despair on the verge of death.

The magician didn't ask Saleen to do anything, he took out more dried meat and bread and put them in the kitchen. Saleen didn't know how these things came to be, but he didn't have any doubts, in his mind, magicians were omnipotent.

The magician told Salin to rest first, and he watched Salin go up to the chuang and cast a hypnotic spell, and Salin's eyes went dark, and he immediately fell into a deep sleep. By the time he opened his eyes, he felt hungry again. The magician's voice rang in his ears: "You first look around, familiarize yourself with the environment, and then come to the living room." ”

Magical magic, this sound is sent directly into the ear, neither light nor heavy. Salin sighed and jumped out of bed, his shoes were already dry, he put them on, and found that his room had an extra door. The room was also changed, with tables and chairs, and cabinets, on which were huge dressing mirrors.

The whole room was cleaned like it was spotlessly clean. The furniture is not new, there are extra mattresses, quilts and pillows on the beds. I slept so hard that I didn't feel anything. When I opened the door, the corridor was also very clean, several rooms were equipped with doors, and some oil paintings were hung on the walls. When his parents were still alive, Salin felt the urge to cry again, but this time, he held back.

On the second floor there are eight rooms, four large and four small. The room where Salin stayed was small, at the end of the hallway. He looked room by room, and all four large rooms had been converted into a study, and one of the other three small rooms was a bedroom, and the doors of the other two could not be opened.

To Salein's surprise, the entire second floor was resurfaced, the doors and windows were repaired, and countless mystical symbols were added to them. The walls seemed to have been repainted, and the ceiling was so clean that not a single spider could be seen.

The house became unfamiliar, and Saleen walked down the stairs uneasily, the main hall on the first floor was already furnished, and the kitchen was full of kitchen utensils. Saleen didn't look at the basement, he came to the living room, pushed the door open, and despite his mental preparation, he opened his mouth wide and looked at the completely changed living room in surprise.

In the center of the living room was a huge table, of no apparent material, and the rectangular table was filled with utensils that Salin did not recognize, all kinds of strange shapes, and a black flame burned under a crucible. There was only one chair around the table, and several cabinets stood against the wall, which were full of things.

Nothing Salin knew, he only saw mysterious symbols everywhere, crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, the light was softly sprinkled, but there was no light or shadow to be seen.

The magician looked up and said gently, "Salin, you wake up, go get food yourself, and then we'll talk." ”

"Teacher, let's talk first, I'm not hungry yet. Salin stood at the table in an orderly manner, his heart worried.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it first. My name is Jason Statham, a native of the Qin Empire, and a fifth-level magician. As my student, I can't give you much guidance because I don't have that much time. I'll teach you a reading spell first, it's a level 0 magic, and if you can master it, I'll teach you the rules of meditation. Then you can read magic books on your own and master the knowledge of magic. I won't give you any more guidance until you become a Level 10 Apprentice. ”

"Level 10 apprentice?" Salin asked cautiously, he didn't know what a level 10 apprentice was.

"There are 10 levels of magic apprenticeship, and in the magic apprenticeship stage, you can only master level 0 magic. Level 0 magic is magic that can be cast without the need for magic strings, as long as you have enough mental power and the corresponding elemental affinity. The amount of mental power determines your ability to control magic, and the elemental affinity determines how many spells you can release in a row. If you don't qualify for both, you can't be a real magician. ”

"So how do you get to the cut?"

"A Level 1 apprentice can cast two level 0 magic in a row, a level 2 apprentice can cast four level 0 magic in a row, and so on, when you can cast twenty level 0 magic in a row, I will guide you on how to become a magician. Alright, now I'll teach you the first level 0 magic. Wizard Jason said, uttering a spell with strange syllables. At the same time, his hands also made a fixed magic gesture.

"If you do this, you will be able to learn about words and magic in books. Jason repeated the incantation, and Salin followed it over and over again. After three repetitions, Saleen could already pronounce the spell word for word, and the gestures were no longer a problem.

"Okay, you can practice it yourself, and when you succeed, I'll teach you the rules of meditation. Then you can read the books I have prepared for you on your own. From the first room, don't look at the next room until you have finished reading the books in this room. ”

"Yes, teacher. Salin stooped down and saluted, as if the men of Ceylon had met a nobleman.

Wizard Jason shook his head, and then thought again, the matter of etiquette, it would be better to talk about it later. He didn't correct Salin's behavior, waved his hand, and motioned for Salin to leave.

Saleen closed the door and walked briskly to the kitchen. He found the box where the rice and noodles were stored, but he was very hungry, so Suo directly took off the hanging dried meat, and ate it happily with white bread and water.

As he ate, he recalled the magic he had just learned. Whether it's spells or magic gestures, he doesn't find it difficult. Especially the mantras, he memorized them the first time, and the last two times just corrected the pronunciation. It seems that he is still talented, at least not stupid. Thinking of this, Salin felt that the future was bright.
