Chapter 19: The Summoner
"There are some very powerful people in the Cloud Continent, they are mages! Mages will destroy their enemies with mysterious spells, and they can also use mysterious spells to make them change and fly, and they can also summon many things, and there can be many, many wind coins and magic coins. ”
The mages that Sophie knew were the privileged class of the Cloud Continent, and these people possessed great power.
All of this was too one-sided for Edward, who learned from Jacorina that the strongest man in this world was not a mage, but a traveler, a traveling mage.
Sophie didn't know much about mages, she just needed to know that mages were very powerful beings.
"I'm learning the words of the mages right now, and they're very powerful magic words!" Sophie wasn't a good commentator, and when she thought of what to say, she quickly talked about herself, "I'm about to learn a very powerful spell now!"
"A sentence?"
One day is to learn two words, and a year should not be just one sentence.
It took Edward three months to master ten elementary spells, most of which was spent learning about the world and training Fuyukawa.
"Well, magic words are very difficult! It will gradually disappear in memory, there is no fixed shape, only by locking it with your own mental power, remembering it can you master the real magic words, and I, Sophie, will soon be able to master a spell!"
Magical words really can't be remembered from shapes, which Edward got a hint from the book spirit at the beginning, and Edward's memory of those magic words is not memorized from scratch, but at the beginning, with the help of the book spirit, the magic words were memorized in a way that he could understand, and then memorized through the spells formed by the magic words.
From the starting point, Edward was much higher than Sophie, and most of the people in this world died in the first step.
"Sophie, are there a lot of mages in this city?"
"No, there are more than 1,000 mage apprentices in the city, and there are only more than 100 official mages, and among them there are mages from other places. Sophie was full of envy when she talked about the more than 100 mages.
"Sophie, are you self-taught spells?"
"Not really. Sophie put on a very frustrated expression, "The mages will only teach their students, and those of us who have no elders and have not been selected by the mages can only get a grant and information from the city lord, and if we perform well, we will be accepted by the city lord, and we can also go to those mages to complete some tasks to get some guidance, but I don't have that ability yet." ”
Judging from Sophie's performance and description, Sophie is just a low-level mage apprentice.
"Sophie, is there anyone else in your family besides you?"
Edward couldn't see anything, and the only one who could accompany him now was Sophie, but if there was anyone else in Sophie's house, Edward would leave here quietly and not cause trouble to Sophie and her family.
"Apart from me, there are only Sister Leila and Linda, who is a servant sent by the City Lord's Mansion to take care of me, and will come over every day to cook for me and do housework. Sophie explained her situation and did not hide anything from Edward, whose presence told Sophia that he was a talker.
The city lord's mansion here seems to attach great importance to the cultivation of mages, which is not normal in Edward's opinion, because the number of mage apprentices is not small, more than a thousand people are a very worthless number for a country, but for a city, it must be a large number.
The mages of this world are also a profession that burns money, not to mention the learning expenses of these people, but the monthly subsidy and the cost of a servant have been a small amount from time to time.
In other words, this city needs mages, or the entire Cloud Continent needs mages, which can be seen from the two male and female mages who hunted bugs and captured themselves.
And not only that, Edward thought that a city with such an urgent need for mages must have a place where these mages must be needed.
Edward worries about Sophie's future, the other party is the first good person he has met in this world, and the one who has stood up in his most dangerous moments.
Let's stay a little longer, and wait until we help Sophie adjust to the mage's world.
Blindness caused Edward to be inconvenienced in many things, and with the three-second distance from this world, Edward urgently needed some help to help him understand and adapt to the world.
"Sophie, where am I sleeping today, can you take me there?"
Sophie looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Edward, it's not time to go to bed yet. ”
"There is no difference between day and night for me, I want to be alone for a while, and if you have something, you can come to me and talk to me. "What Edward needs is to establish his strengths as soon as possible, to use his spark ability to perceive the world, and to give himself the power to help others, rather than living with the help of a little girl.
"Okay!" Seeing Edward say this, Sophie also stood up and took Edward's hand, slowly moved back, and said after Edward came: "Edward, you can stay in Linda's room, Linda will talk to her when she comes to cook at night, that room is just a place for Linda to rest at noon, there should be no problem." ”
Edward snorted, slowly moving forward with the other party's tug.
Even with this hand-in-hand pull, Edward still has a three-second delay in the touch when the other party lets go and stops moving, and Edward's movements should be as slow and steady as possible in order to cause problems with falls and collisions.
Otherwise, by the time I knew I had to protect my face, it would have been after the fall.
Sophie went back to study after leading Edward into the room, Edward couldn't help Sophie in this regard, he was blind, and he had a three-second delay with Sophie in perception, plus Edward was also a half-ass, so Edward had no intention of helping Sophie learn magic, that would be dead!
After quieting down, Edward sat quietly on the floor and turned to his own business.
The door was already closed by Sophie, and Edward wanted to release the Calamity Slime from his eyes, but the thought that this was Sophie's home discouraged the idea of letting the Metal Slime come out for a while.
With his hands together, Edward entered a meditative state, and only in this world that was not in the real world could Edward see things, to see elemental beings who would never betray him.
It is necessary to improve the three energies of spark, core, and spiritual power as soon as possible.
The spark allowed Edward to summon more first-tier creatures after the death of the Calamity Slime, and also helped Edward understand the world.
The core is the foundation of elemental magic, and a powerful core can allow Edward to release spells more frequently, and release more advanced spells.
Mental power is the foundation of everything, and Edward's time difference has reduced his magic ability to a minimum, so Edward has to take a different route at the beginning!
Summoner!
