Chapter 24: Potential Energy

Although he was already hungry, Leo couldn't wait to finish his dinner, left the library, and ran all the way to the area where the teachers lived, stepping on the snow left by the academy to create a New Year's atmosphere.

Although there are many employees in the academy, the area of the entire floating island is even larger, and the teachers are of course not treated the same as the students, each of them has their own residence, which looks like a row of elegant cottages, and the whole area is like a small town.

Under such conditions, even if the college does not prohibit students from communicating with teachers, it is still quite difficult to find out exactly where Larinda lives.

Half an hour passed, and several more people were asked, and Leo finally found the right place.

It was a small courtyard, and smoke was constantly coming out of the exhaust pipe on the roof, as if the owner was cooking something.

Leo looked at the door number and was sure that this was Laurinda's home, and after a little thought, he walked to the door and knocked rhythmically a few times.

"Coming, coming!" With Larinda's voice, the door opened, and the woman showed a surprised expression when she saw that it was Leo.

As a life coach, she has a lot of contact with the new students of this year's class, and there are often people who come in the evenings to ask for all kinds of help. But the boy in front of her, who had high hopes, never came, which made her inevitably a little disappointed.

Right now, looking at the other party's hurried appearance, Larinda's heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Hey, Leo, is there anything you need my help with this time?"

"Yes, Teacher Lorinda. Leo replied. He felt quite embarrassed to bother at this time, but seeing Lolinda's kind attitude, he didn't have any estimation and asked, "May I ask you are a protective faction specialist, right?"

"yes, why do you ask this?" Lorinda raised a heroic brow, didn't this guy ask for help. Why did you ask about your faction?

"Whew, I'm glad I'm not mistaken. Leo sighed secretly and replied, "That's right, today I taught myself a level 2 protection magic, and I don't understand something, so I want to ask."

You. ā€

"Oh, which one?" Yixin is this kind of thing, and Laurinda suddenly became much less interested. For her, who had reached the intermediate level a long time ago, there was really not much difficulty in level 2 magic, not to mention the protection system that she specialized in. That's even more boring.

In such cases, she prefers to mediate romantic disputes, act as a spiritual healer, or even watch others duel, because in the isolated city of Raventon, there is really no interesting entertainment except for the occasional opera and circus.

Leo certainly couldn't have known what Lorinda was thinking, so he naturally replied, "It's the Iron Mind." ā€

"Hah, that's it. Suddenly, Lorinda was interested again. "Iron Mind is indeed one of the most useful Level 2 spells, but its difficulty is almost the highest of all Level 2 spells. Because it's a rare low-level compound magic in itself, you can't teach yourself how to understand it. It's also normal. ā€

Of course, Leo knows what compound magic is, and the electromagnetic field enchantment he created himself is a compound magic. But this is really rare, but to the intermediate and advanced level. The compound process of magic will increase dramatically, and he also said in the class that there is a legendary magic. Even the level compound that belongs to the eight major factions, isn't it simply something that mortals can cast.

"Teacher......" Leo opened to ask, but was interrupted by Laurida raising her hand.

The corners of the woman's mouth curled up, and she said, "Do you want me to chat with you in the snow like this?"

"Uh, sorry......" Leo appeared, the other party was wearing a light home gauze long dress, which really didn't have any effect on keeping warm in the snow.

Lorinda shook her head, but instead of going back to the house immediately, she asked, "You shouldn't have eaten yet, have you?"

"No, directly from the library. Leo replied.

Lolinda clapped her hands happily and said, "That's right, just eat with me, the meal will be ready soon, and when it's over, I'll explain the Iron Heart to you." ā€

"This ......" Leo hesitated, it was already quite rude to disturb at this time, do you still want to eat?

"What the hell, I'm cooking delicious!" Laurinda glared at Leo and dragged him into the house.

Lorinda's cabin was warm, but Leo was wearing a magical robe that kept the temperature constant, rather than a heavy winter coat, so he avoided the trouble of having to change his clothes all the time.

At this moment, Larinda had already gone to cook, and Leo was sitting in the living room, sipping a sweet and sour aperitif, while casually looking around at the furnishings.

The pale pink walls, with a lot of decorations hanging on them, and even some plush toys, show the characteristics of a single woman, warm and cozy, so that Leo is a little impressed by the tall and hearty Laurida.

In a warm and comfortable environment, I don't know how long later, just when Leo was almost asleep, Laurinda walked into the living room with two metal plates covered with lids, and with it, the rich aroma of barbecue followed.

Leo was already hungry, and when he asked about the fragrance, his hunger immediately exploded, his stomach squirmed wildly, and his stomach made a loud "cooing" sound.

Seeing Leo's embarrassed face, Laurinda smiled happily: "How about it, it's fragrant enough, this is my best dish, polar fireworks beef ribs." ā€

"Beef ribs with fireworks?" Leo didn't understand what the name of the dish meant.

Instead of explaining, Lorinda placed the plate on the table and lifted the lid.

Leo's eyes widened when he looked over, because the whole beef ribs on the plate looked bloody, and they were probably only three or four ripe.

Compared to his parents who could only eat fully cooked things in his previous life, Leo is already good, but he has already reached the limit by eating some medium-rare meat at most, as for regenerated things...... Can you really digest it if you eat it in your stomach?

Lorinda noticed Leo's expression and said with a smile, "Ha, you think you have to eat like this? ā€

Without giving Leo a chance to react, the woman pulled out a wine bottle from her spatial ring, unscrewed the stopper, and poured it onto the beef ribs.

Then, she snapped her fingers again, and the two sparks fell on the two plates.

"Boom!"

Fierce flames burned. Wrapped the beef ribs.

"This wine burns, how high is it...... You don't usually drink this...... "Leo said, smacking his lips.

Lorinda carefully stuffed the wine, retracted the spatial ring, and then replied: "How is it possible, this bottle of 'Polar Cold' is a good wine comparable to 'Flame Silk', it is very expensive, and I can only drink it once in a few weeks." ā€

Hearing her say this, Leo couldn't help but shudder. When he was in Castle Rock, he had taken a sip of Ryan's "Flame Silk", which was not a drink at all. It's pure alcohol, and if the "polar cold" in the other party's mouth is really that good, I'm afraid it will be almost the same in nature.

This woman turned out to be an alcoholic!

Fortunately, Leo has the help of the professor, and the alcohol will also decompose after burning, so there won't be many problems if you want to come to this meal.

As the two of them sat down, the flames quickly extinguished, and the beef ribs became a little more ripe and smelled of wine.

Just smell it. Leo already felt that he was going to get drunk, so he had to order the professor to block it, which suppressed the nausea.

"So, let's get started. Hope you enjoy it. Larinda motioned for Leo to sit down, and she picked up her knife and fork and ate it hard.

Seeing the other party like this, Leo was no longer polite. Likewise wielding a knife and fork, he cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

I have to admit it. Don't look at the method of this flaming beef rib is rude, but the taste is completely preserved, the rich meat aroma fills the mouth, and can even make people feel a strong sense of satisfaction.

While eating, Leo remembered what the other party had just mentioned, and asked, "You just said that the tribe ......"

"I'm from the snowy barbarian tribe of the Far North, so you should have seen it. Lorinda stroked her golden length and said nonchalantly.

Leo did have a guess, but listening to her admit it herself, he still felt a little incredible: "I don't know, barbarians can also learn magic......"

Lorinda swallowed another large piece of meat, and then shook her head and said, "Very little, but it's not impossible." Barbarians are physically strong, but mentally poor, but there are always exceptions, and my mother is a barbarian, and my father is human, according to common belief, I am half-blood, but I left the tribe at a very young age and received formal magical training, which is why I am today. ā€

"When I was very young......" Hearing her say this, Leo suddenly remembered the place that he might never be able to go back to, and subconsciously said, "You haven't been back for a long time, right?"

"Go back?" said Lorinda with a sneer, "Why go back! That's a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, and after crossing the permafrost glacier, half of the year is always night, and the other half is always day, and you can't see anything except snow bears, snow wolves, snow cows, and snow fields." That kind of place is not suitable for survival at all. I really don't understand, what is there to be nostalgic for in that desolate and terrible snowfield?"

Leo couldn't see that the other party really thought so, or just stiff-mouthed, because now, when he said this, there was some kind of light flashing in Larinda's eyes.

Sighing in his heart, Leo said, "Perhaps, this is their faith." ā€

"Faith ......," Laurinda repeated, lowering her head and staring at the ribs in front of her, thinking.

There was a sudden silence in the room, a very pleasant silence.

After a while, Laurinda suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "Well, it makes sense, this is their belief." Now tell me about the difficulties you faced while learning the Iron Mind, and see what I can do for you. ā€

Leo knew that she was changing the subject, and immediately replied wisely: "It's the part of the influence, I can't understand it at all." ā€

"This is normal. Larinda seemed to have expected him to ask about this place, and continued without thinking, "Let me ask you a question first, do you know what potential energy is?"

It was the first time Leo had heard the word and shook his head, saying he didn't know.

"This is a special energy that necromancers present when they study souls, and it is an energy that almost all living beings have. As an assistant professor at the Ravington School of Magic, Laurinda is indeed knowledgeable in magic, and she gushes about it: "The appearance and application of this energy originally originated from the terrible anatomy of the real yĆ n, but now this kind of thing has been forbidden. In the real yĆ n, the necromancers appear, and when the person who bears the real yĆ n is confronted with a threat, they will burst out with unprecedented energy, effectively resist fear, and respond, which is the latent energy. And the iron mind is to allow you to stimulate a small amount of potential energy on a certain degree, so as to influence the soul to withstand more external influences. ā€

"Latent energy...... Isn't it a hormone?" Leo felt his mind was a little confused, and asked, "And where did this energy come from?"

"This ......," Larinda paused, then replied, "There is no clear explanation yet, because we still know very little about this energy." However, it is generally believed that it is the soul that casts this energy. (To be continued......)
