Chapter 6: The City of Mages

After sleeping for a few days, Lawn and his party set off under the repeated urging of Dalt, at this time the team did not come back when it was shabby, in addition to Lawn's small team, nearly 100 rune guards were added, in Dalter's words, this is called the importance of exchanges between the two countries, and it is a guard of honor. If he didn't have a trail behind him, along with dozens of supplies that were probably purchased from the Doug Chamber of Commerce, Lawne would have been willing to believe Dalt's words!

The only thing that satisfied Rone was that the material carriage when he came was finally completely used for materials, enjoying the spaciousness of the prince-level carriage, Lawn was very comfortable and accosted Dalter who was traveling side by side, although at this time the teacher Dalter who was hugging left and right was very reluctant...

"Dalter... Teacher, what should I learn from you?"

Dalter was not very satisfied with Lawn's interruption of his life with the beautiful mage, "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, Prince, you have graduated from me!"

"Graduation!?" wailed for a month, only seeing Dalter's less than 3 hours of Lawn, and doubting the accuracy of the word graduation...

"Of course, Your Royal Highness, not everyone can use the Mage Tower for a month just after testing their talents, just like you! The number of Mage Towers is limited, and everyone who tries to enter the Mage Hall has to queue up. And for the sake of your safety, the Storm Tower of the Ruifeng Family has allowed you to use it alone for a month in a row, which is already a king-level treatment!" Dalter's tone was a little heavy.

"So, as the most important Root Circle Instructor, your role is to line up your students?" Lawn obviously didn't care about Dalt's attitude, he himself said that he had graduated from him... At this time, Lawne seems to have reverted to the domineering of some young people, and when he lives up, he is cautious with everyone.

"Damn, don't always bother me, I'll tell you everything you should know, if you want to get to the bottom of it so much, then, these are for you to pass the time!" Dalter casually took a few heavy books, threw them into Lawn's carriage, and directly urged the coachman to stagger the position parallel to Lawn, and consciously let Lawn enjoy the first treatment, "It's borrowed, return it to the royal capital!"

Raun didn't care about Dalter's attitude, and obviously didn't have the right to care... Picking up the books in front of him, "Elemental Derivation", "Elemental Symbiosis", "Introduction to Mental Power", "Spiritual Talent and Exploration", "Foundation Construction Research", and "Admission Instructions", Lawn somewhat believed that Dalter had indeed finished teaching himself, at least on the surface, his experience seemed to be in line with the names of these books. However, it is clear that the admission instructions still need to be read

Flipping through a page, the dense digital world made Lawne dizzy. It is a list of various charges... I don't pay attention to the alignment of the arrangement, just so densely written line by line... Lawn thinks it's better to look at it from the first page, but it turns out to be a price list... After flipping through it, Lawn understood that the meaning of this book was to remind himself that the money he brought might not be enough... From the first-order spell to the fifth-order spell, from a few gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins, each level will basically add a zero, and the 6th order is completely invisible here, obviously, it won't be cheap... I just thought that there seemed to be a clause in my vague memory that knowledge was free, and I was half apprehensive and half expectant, hoping that I was not mistaken. Lawn couldn't figure out how the Mage Kingdom could be so rich, and there would be so many mages, but he didn't know that Lawn had ignored the idea of exchange learning, and Lawn himself was an exchange student... As for the commoners who can't make an exchange, they either rely on the nobles with their talents, or they are like Darcy, working hard to add wealth to this huge group of mages, until one day their strength increases, and they can become the upstart of this wealth group...

It is no wonder that mages will form an aristocratic system, such an interest group, it is strange not to form an aristocratic system. On the other hand, a soldier who relies on the battlefield to complete the advancement has no dependence on knowledge, and it is bound to be difficult to accept the unearned gains of the aristocratic system.

With the slow study of several other books, Lawne gradually understood his problem, for almost everyone, the level of mental power is directly proportional to the malleability of mental power, like the state of a normal person like Dalter's congenital level 5 and extension of level 4, and Lawn's mental malleability is extremely low, it seems that a certain experience has matured Lawn's spirit, and this kind of maturity is also the most envied by all mages. The spirit is also the soul of a living being, and its state is extremely rigorous, and any change will cause uncertain consequences. Therefore, every mage will only begin to learn spells when his soul is basically finalized when he becomes an adult, and engrave a magic circle on his soul. "Spiritual Talent and Pioneering" even tells the story of a young soul engraved with a wood-based spell, and eventually as it grows, its body is covered with plants and becomes a monster! And the development of spiritual power, for tens of thousands of years, even in the era of strong spells with the strongest spells, they have been carried out carefully, and the mages who like to stay in the laboratory are also 99.99% cautious and cautious in doing mental power expansion experiments, everyone's soul is unique, like Lawn, who is born and mature, although it is not an exception, but it also makes most mages jealous. And this jealousy has already manifested itself ...

Raun was pitted by Dalt... The spirit of the 8th order of Lawn can only mobilize the power of the ten layers in the foundation circle at most, and the elemental crystals formed by the 12 layers of the foundation circle are not as effective as the tenth layer because they are too stable. Dalter made a suggestion, but did not explain Lawne's objection, a pure and solid elemental crystal could increase the power of the spell, and it would be enough for Dalter to clear himself. It's just that the increase in power outweighs the cost... Lawn, whose face was quite ugly, wanted to slap the book in his hand on Dalter's face, but he was also depressed, so he could only sigh silently: "It's all caused by blood!? It seems that since I know that I can practice spells, I am very proud of myself..."

Closed the book, quietly calmed down his feelings, the fact that it was completed has no way to change, the rest can only take one step at a time, no matter how much the art of war is read, it is not as unpredictable as people's hearts, to blame, and can only blame himself for not paying attention to the knowledge of the mage, and when he was suddenly sent to Esenbelt, he became illiterate. "Illiterate, it's better to be more restrained, and then increase your knowledge reserves!" Lawne set his future path.

Half a month later, the city of mages approached, and Raun suspected that this might be the largest city in the world! According to Darcy's introduction, the King City of Baird has 15 sub-cities, different from the unattainable satellite cities, Baird's 15 sub-cities are divided into three layers, distributed in front of the royal city, less than a kilometer between the city gates, each sub-city has a mage tower guarded, corresponding to 15 elements, plus the strongest mage tower left in the ancient strong law era in the royal city: the Star Tower, forming a powerful magic circle, ensuring the eternal survival of the inheritance of the mage kingdom. The only drawback is that it can't be moved, and it is rumored that together with all the mage towers in the mage kingdom, it is also an invincible magic circle, which guarantees the border of the mage kingdom. And all 16 city clusters, combined with Esenbelt.

Dart took the honor guard of his companions, and led Lawne and his party to the front of Flame City to complete his last mission! Flame City is controlled by the Flame Duke family, and the Frem family has been holding the spirit of fire spells for generations, and this generation of Flame Family even has a 9th-order sky mage in charge, of course, through the Lawne incident, it is claimed that it is already a 10th-order moon wheel mage...

In front of the fire tower, there was an old man with a little rickety, with fiery red hair and fiery red robes, standing in front of the tower where the fire element was extremely violent, but it looked extremely quiet. Seeing Lawn's arrival, he didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked into the mage tower with his back hand, motioning for Lawne to follow, but turned Dal away.

"The old man hasn't seen a talent like you for a long time, Dalter has worked hard for more than ten years and has not advanced to the first order, you haven't suffered in vain this month, it's already 8th order, this vague mental fluctuation can hide from that kid, but it can't be hidden from the old man!" Old Duke Frem seemed to regret that Lawn was not his own clan, "It's okay, the 1-8 level magic circle will be finished for you at one time, and it will save you from always tossing the old man me!" When he is old, those bastards in the family are not angry, and they can't become the 8th order, and the 9th-order spiritual array that the old man has spent his whole life trying to get is broken..."

The spirit circle can be directly constructed by a mage who is higher than oneself, and the soul can be directly imprinted. You can also use countless materials to engrave on the corresponding Warcraft leather, and charge yourself to engrave it on your soul. Naturally, it is convenient to engrave the spirit between methods, and it is a method engraved on the leather of the Warcraft to the civilian level, and it will only be used when there are no higher-level mages who cannot directly engrave through the soul. Lawn, who has a little knowledge, understands that this is probably the reason for the decline of spells, the success rate of leather engraving is too low, and the cost is too great. "It's all up to you!I wonder what I can do?" Raun put aside his memories and followed Frem up to the top of the Mage Tower.

"Young man, do you choose for yourself, or do you listen to the old man's advice? There are many types of spells, and there are only a few that are useful..."

"Naturally listen to you, I'm new to spells, if I choose by myself, I have no direction at all!" Lawne replied very honestly, although the best way is for Lawn to go and make up for his knowledge and then make a decision, obviously, the mage kingdom, did not give himself that chance....

"Young man, don't worry about me cheating you, you may have a lot of choices for other departments, but unfortunately the essence of the fire method is attack, unless you want to be a full-time auxiliary alchemist, but since you dare to endure that hardship, you must not give up your offensive ability, right!?" As one of the indirect participants in the Storm Tower incident, the old duke naturally knew about Lawne's crazy moves!

"Alchemist, can you give me some knowledge, I don't know about that" Lawne chose to be cautious rather than completely led by the nose.

"Oh, what a call for the elderly....alchemy is a popular career direction. In addition to the traditional spirit marking, the casting of spells is the animal skin marking, and the mage in the direction of alchemy has given up the spell in the attack direction in the soul mark, and instead pursues the direction of convenient engraving spells, such as elemental stability, elemental plasticity, mental stability, and marker balance, these directions are to improve the success rate of the scroll, and the benefit of scroll casting is that it only consumes mental power, and your elemental talent is much higher than that of spiritual talent, which is not suitable for you!"

Raun can't deny it, although he doesn't fully understand, but one thing is certain, he only has the talent of a mage, once this profession has no attack power, even if he has a high enough lifespan, he has no means to show his strength at all, of course, the most important thing is not to talk about money with a prince, the problem solved with money is not a problem, the scroll can obviously be solved with money.... "Then attack the direction, although he is not rich now, but for a prince, he must still have the strength to buy some scrolls. ”

"Well, your elemental power is relatively stable, and the alchemist is also a choice, but it's a pity that your 8th-order strength really shouldn't be wasted on those toys, 8th-order scrolls may not succeed in a lifetime. Frem gave Raun a thumbs up for his decision, and then took out a large piece of animal skin, listing hundreds of spell names on it, "That's all for the spells, I'll give you the ones I think are right for you, if you are interested, you can ask! Of course, I can tell you in advance, your fire elemental power is too stable, and it will burst out, and many directions are not suitable for you to choose." ”

Lawn is very angry about what happened to him, but he is also helpless: "I want to hear about it"

"First-order elemental aura, increase the power of spells, as for elemental collection, you are not a civilian mage, just use the magic core instead. Your fire blasting power is gone, and you must strengthen your power, and you can add a little bit to it!"

Lawn thought it was true, his ring was still stacked with countless magic cores, and he felt that the elemental collection could be solved with money...

"Second-Order Flame Burning, this is the pre-skill of the Fire Group Spell. There's another Ring of Resistance, which is an important defensive skill, but unfortunately if you use it, the power will be mediocre, so you don't have to choose. The third order is up to you, and there are ranged fire arrows and melee fire blades. "I don't have a talent for a warrior, melee combat is to find death, I choose fire arrows!"

"The 4th order has the Fire Wall Technique and the Fire Sea Technique, the Fire Wall Technique is a line attack, the Fire Sea is a surface attack, and the Fire Wall Technique has no defensive power" is very dutifully to break Lawn's illusion of increasing the defense spell....can only Fire Sea Technique, because flame burning is his pre-skill.

"You don't need to choose the 5th order.,The enhanced version of the fire arrow, the rapid fire arrow,It can only be released when it is combined with the fire arrow;The 6th order has the only defensive spell flame shield that suits you in the flame system.,I don't think you have to think about anything else!The 7th order is the reinforced version of the rapid fire arrow.,Attack the fire rain technique.,There's no other pre-position for this.,You don't have to choose.。 "There are all kinds of choices that make Raun very speechless, but looking at the other skills, the fire system has lost and bursting, and there are really not many ways to choose.

"For you, Rank 8 is your most powerful skill, do you have anything special you want to learn, I can introduce it!"

"Saving my life, I want to save my life, I only have a flame shield, and I don't have a sense of security..."

"Hahaha, young man, I like your choice, I highly recommend the body of flames, you have experienced a month of fire element scorching, the pain of this skill is definitely nothing to you, it can elementalize your body in a short time, it is a spell adapted by me based on the elementalization of the body of the 10th-order moon wheel mage, you can't advance to the 10th level, this spell can give you 10-level defense in a short time, although it will be very uncomfortable within a few days when it is used up, and the life saving is absolutely first-class!"

Thinking back on the pain of a month, Lawne was a little resistant, but compared to saving his life, Lawn felt that the pain was acceptable, so he agreed.

"There is one left, you are not strong enough, there is no way to engrave it, but it can also be handed over to you" Frem handed Raun a piece of animal skin, Raun can feel the abundance of the fire element without opening it, it is obviously a very high-grade animal skin" This, it can be regarded as compensation for what you encountered in Storm City, Flame Wings, ninth-order spells, can speed up the flight speed of ninth-order mages, it is a chicken rib for ninth-order mages who are already able to fly, but it is also a good thing to escape, and it is enough to compensate you! This is the case of Dalter, I have also heard a little about the transaction between the two countries this time, you help me pretend to be a 10th-order mage, and so on, this is enough!"

If you have to set a price for a ninth-order spell, 10,000 gem coins! Even if it's a chicken rib, it won't be lower than this price. Rauen knew that he had taken a big advantage, and the things of the 9th order belonged to the level of the guardian god of the kingdom, and things of this level were obviously not measurable by gold coins. "I didn't resent Dalter, he persuaded me, I just didn't listen, and because of him, I had the opportunity to learn the Flame Body, and my spiritual power has also advanced to the 8th level, I think it's worth it!"

Frem nodded, agreeing with Lawn's words. Regardless of the moment, he became serious again: "Young man, the spirit engraving can be completed today, however, I must remind you that as a mage, having a spirit engraving only gives you the qualification to release this spell, it does not mean that you can release this spell, among which the casting materials, the timing of the use of spiritual power, the release of elemental seeds, positioning, control and combat timing, etc., etc., this is what you really want to learn when you come to Esenbelt!" You have a good talent, and you have learned the spells I taught you to create myself, I don't want you to die on the battlefield like a rookie, let me teach you spells and become a stepping stone to the glory of others! I am the head of the flames: Hawk Frem, I am feared by the enemy for the timing and wisdom of my spells! Don't fall for me!"

I really want to tell this old man that the enemy country you are talking about may have Elsalin, but I still hold back, in case I don't agree, I burn myself, and there is no place to talk about reason...

The spirit engraving was not completed until the next morning, and when he got out of the mage tower, he only had one more book in his hand, and he had all kinds of introductions and cultivation methods about the body of flames, and Lawn, who couldn't understand the method of learning spells at all, was very speechless, and he needed a book for one skill, and it seemed that he had thought about many things simply. He handed Cassie the book and headed for his new home. During Lawn's time at the Mage Tower, Dalter had already explained everything to Cassie, and now, all he had to do was wait for the start of the new school year.

Looking at the royal family's exclusive All-House Pass in his hand, Lawne is looking forward to the day when it will be useful and the path of the mage will begin...
