"Come on, come on!" Hum Ke pointed to his head, looking extremely excited. "Isn't it going to be a dragon after a while?"

"Theoretically, so. Siegel said, "But I haven't tested it on a living person." ”

Mana's eyes widened and she took a step back, "Is this safe? it won't turn Hum into a frog or something, will it?"

"Surely not. I've instilled dwarves and elves in elemental creatures, and it's still very effective. ”

"What happened to the elementals?" Manna asked.

"It's dead. Siegel laughed and explained, "He died in battle, not because of spells. ”

Hum Ke was more interested in this: "Siegel, can you teach me martial arts by the way, I've always wanted to learn more about the skills of warriors, especially the tricks when using swords and shields together." My Yang Flame Sword is always glowing, attracting the attention of many opponents. Knives, forks, swords, and halberds are not afraid, and they hate arrows that come at them, so it would be better to have a shield. ”

"Martial arts are different from words, they also need physical coordination, which can't be done with spells. The form of the fire elemental can change constantly, so the martial arts taught to it can quickly adapt. The two of us are not the same height, weight, and arm length, and I will teach you my martial arts experience, and the most likely outcome is that you will not be able to control your body and become unable to fight. ”

"That's okay, I'm not greedy, you can teach me dragon language first. Hum sat down and looked at Manna triumphantly.

The mage placed his hands on top of the orc's head, rubbing and chanting a mantra. Humke's hair was messy, but it was clean. He closed his eyes. I look like I'm enjoying it. He still hummed through his nose.

Siegel pressed his thumbs on the back of his head. Hum rolled his eyes and fainted. Then the spell took effect, and tiny currents continued to jump across his skull.

Manna pouted, watching from the sidelines, and made up her mind not to try. By the way, if knowledge can be "instilled" into it, can Siegel also be able to read his memory? Many of the evil witches in the story can do such things, although Siegel is not evil, but with his skills, it must not be difficult, right?

If he sees something intimate in my memory. Mna bit her lip and tensed for a moment, her determination not to accept the spell even stronger.

The spell lasted less than a minute, and Hum jumped out of his chair as Siegel slapped the orc on the head. There was still a slight amount of green smoke in his hair, but he looked in good spirits.

Siegel picked up a piece of parchment from his desk, which read in dragon language, "Pinch your nose if you can read it."

Hum Ke pinched his nose. Then he reacted and shouted, "I can understand dragon language!"

He gasped for breath with excitement, his eyes rolling with bones. Then he seemed to want to say something, but he covered his chin with a groan.

"What's wrong?" Siegel and Manna hurriedly ran over.

The orc waved his hand. Signaling that it was okay, he tugged hard at his tongue. Then he pointed to his mouth. In a muffled voice, he said, "It's twisted." ”

Manna burst out laughing, then laughed uncontrollably, leaning against the wall to hold her feet. Siegel struggled to endure and handed him a bottle of healing potion.

Hum shook his head, "Max (it's okay)". He looked at Manna with some shame, and the expression sent the knight into a new round of laughter.

"It seems that there is no problem with reading, but when speaking, you still need the cooperation of the mouth and tongue, which is somewhat similar to the situation of martial arts. Siegel said to Hum, "I'll talk to you in dragon language and shake your head if you don't understand." ”

"To avoid causing damage to your mind, this spell of mine is not permanent, but will only last for six months. If you don't use dragon language, you'll forget everything in your head in about six months. So in order to really learn the language, you have to do a lot of practice, from listening, speaking, reading, writing, and using all aspects to turn temporary memories into permanent. Do you understand?"

Hum nodded, indicating that he understood.

"It's also for safety, I won't use this spell for you a second time, so you hurry up and start consolidating. "Siegel brought in a thick history book, the content is not important, the key is written in the dragon language. "There's no other good way, just copy and read aloud. ”

Hum Ke gasped, he guess he had never thought about it. When the thick book was in his hand, he felt that the paper was heavier than the hammer of his hands.

"After copying this book, I still have a lot of classics in dragon language, and some of them are quite interesting. Siegel noticed Hum's sad face, rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and ran to the top of the bookshelf.

Soon, he brought a book with a blue cover, on which was written in dragon language, "The Tales of the Argonian Maid".

"What is this?" asked Manna curiously.

"A book of poetry. Siegel hurriedly said, "I think history books will make Hum feel bored, maybe poetry will be better." ”

The orc, apparently not knowing what he was holding in his hand, still wept and left with the book in his arms.

Eventually, though, Hum learned dragon language and wrote several new books of poetry—a long time later.

A new winter has arrived, and a lot has changed in the Heim Territory. The power generated by the collective efforts of the mages is so strong that the Federation's magical training school has begun to recruit students. It's a good idea to let your children go in and learn to write and count during the off-season, especially since the lord also provides two meals a day.

The food is very simple, wheat flour and vegetable porridge is the most common thing, sometimes there is fish or smoked sausage. Learning is boring, and the teachers are still patiently looking for new ways to improve their literacy efficiency. "If only there was no such thing as Knox, some of their spells are still very interesting. Some mages couldn't help but sigh like this.

Siegel found a few clever and loyal men among his knights and knights, and then added temporary linguistic knowledge to them by means of memory indoctrination. The men were to keep the matter secret and were sent to a higher level of the federation's classes.

The first to make a breakthrough were the mages of the illusion department. Everyone had imagined that spells such as fireballs and ice storms would be powerful with an infinite supply of elementals. But little attention has been paid to illusion. In the various schools of the federation. The illusion department is not outstanding. However, after the establishment of the new federation. Hodge Dalle, the head of the Department of Illusion and a human mage, saw an opportunity.

He carefully studied the Elemental Passage spell and then created the Crystal Ball of Image.

Using the principle of continuous function of the elemental channel, he could create illusion images and sounds at a very low cost, and then replay them continuously. Although it is not of much value to be used elsewhere, it can save the mages a lot of time when teaching. The repetitive work is left to the illusions, and the mages only need to answer the questions.

Even after a long time, you can dedicate a video crystal ball to focus on answering questions.

This greatly improves the efficiency of teaching. Illusion-based image crystals are also in short supply. In addition to the Federation itself, orders from the "Bubble" bar in Myr City surprised all the mages.

The request of the halfling boss was simple, he wanted to be able to make an image of a dancer and constantly replay it in the bar every day.

Hodge the illusionist thought for a long time, undecided whether or not to serve a "lowly" bar owner. Many of the Federation's mages turned their attention to him after learning about this, which also caused him a lot of pressure.

He carefully calculated, before the Mir Energy Core, it would cost about four thousand gold coins to make such a crystal ball, and the price would be about nine thousand, which was not something that ordinary people could afford at all. Only the Starry Royals have ever customized an image crystal. Images of Barrett Stars II and his eldest son, Barrett III, are recorded. In the past, crafting an image crystal could help illusionists pay for a lot of magical research. It's a good job. Now the cost of the crystal ball is only a few dozen gold coins, and the price adjustment to a hundred will not make a few dollars.

However, it is possible that the number will increase dramatically.

Hodge thought of Siegel's words at the Federation meeting, this is a new era, the new continent represents a new hope, to make more people become mages, to let more minds burst out with sparks of wisdom.

He gritted his teeth and finally decided to take the order, and because it was the first outside order, he didn't charge anything.

This incident was written into the history books of the Mage Federation and passed down forever. The image crystal was made of two identical pieces, one of which was also included in the Federation's treasury.

Not to be outdone, the mages of the other factions showed off their ingenuity, but half of the new inventions came from the mages of the Plastic Energy system. They have been studying the basic elements for many years, so they quickly grasp the essence of the elemental channel. The fire element furnace is the first product they have launched, which can permanently solve the problem of ignition source. Soon, three furnaces were built at the stove level, the fireplace level, and the furnace level, and the history of Heim's use of wood and coal as fuel was completely ended.

They tried to keep raising the temperature, but then discovered the secret of the Elemental Passage spell. The Myr Core can provide a huge amount of energy, but only Siegel himself can fully call it. The Elemental Channel rigidly limits the energy output of the Nucleus, so no matter how much the Plasticizers try to improve the furnace, they can't raise it even higher.

"This is actually quite good, the fire of alchemy is still only mastered by mages. "It seems that Siegel has long thought of this, and he uses this method to protect the interests of the magicians. ”

At the same time, Siegel's own interests must be protected. The work to crack the Mir Energy Core has been going on in secret, and everyone knows that. Whether it is the Magic Association or the Federation, including Siegel himself, it is clear that whoever can master the energy core can occupy a very important position in the mage community.

He was a little worried, not knowing how long Siegel would be able to keep the secrets of the Myrnec Core and how much time he would have left for the Federation to develop.

Simmonton thought about it and decided to go to Master Wendy to discuss how to keep Siegel safe. Not just for Siegel himself or the Federation, but for the entire group of mages.

Not everyone wants to see the progress and rise of mages, some gods are disgusted with demonic magic, and many societies and organizations may find ways to destroy the energy core or assassinate Siegel.

This must be stopped. (To be continued.) )

PS: Happy New Year!
