Soon, the magic ink was finished, and the slightly viscous liquid turned pale blue, and a faint cinnamon aroma could be faintly smelled.

Unfold a 30-centimeter-square Norsen sheepskin, lay it flat on a solid platform, and pour rubber ink into the magic pen. Leo recalled in his mind the not-so-complicated diagram of the promotion circle, took a deep breath, let himself pay full attention, and the hand holding the pen became unusually steady, and then began to draw.

For the promotion of the circle, there are strict standards on the meditation guide, which must be drawn on a carrier of about 1 square meter, with a radius of 42.7 centimeters, and the error is not allowed to exceed 1 millimeter. If it is too small, the effect will not be enough to complete the promotion, and if it is too large, the effect will be excessive, which will easily cause the promotion to fail.

However, Leo knows his level and can still succeed in drawing on 30 centimeters square Norzen sheepskin, and if you zoom in to 1 meter, the chance of success will not exceed 10%. So in order not to waste too much material at once, he chose to start with a small practice, and use it for a few days at most, and he will definitely be able to meet the standard.

Drawing a magic array seems easy, but in fact, the consumption of mental power and body is very huge. It is necessary not only to continuously inject magic power while drawing, but also to stay awake and steady at all times, and most of the magic arrays are irregular graphics, even the slightest deviation will lead to the complete failure of the magic array, and at the same time, it is impossible to borrow tools to draw at all.

More than ten minutes later, Leo finished drawing halfway, his mental strength was still up, and his body was fine, but his entire right arm had begun to stiffen. He didn't dare to rest, and he couldn't rest, because once it was interrupted, the magic cycle would also be interrupted, and the magic array would also fail.

"Three more minutes!" Leo gritted his teeth, keeping his arm from shaking, and continued to draw.

The pen moves slowly and steadily on the Norzen sheepskin, and the pale blue ink flows from the small holes on the nib, which are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, forming a wonderful and magical line.

Seeing that he was about to reach the starting point of the next pen, forming a magic cycle, and the most difficult first step of drawing was about to be completed, Leo felt a trace of joy rise in his heart, but the speed in his hand did not improve, and he still maintained absolute stability.

"There's still 5 centimeters left to catch your breath!" Leo continued to control himself, "4 centimeters...... 3 cm ...... 2 cm ......"

"Smack!"

A drop of sweat fell from his forehead and happened to hit the path where the pen was about to pass guò.

"I'm ......" Leo didn't catch his breath and almost suffocated to death, "It's so unlucky!"

Even if you continue to paint, the ink will definitely be disturbed by sweat, and this attempt will end in failure.

Putting the magic pen on the real platform, Leo couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw that he had completed 99% of the promotion circle. Because when you draw for the first time every day, you have the most mental energy and physical energy, so you have the highest chance of success.

Now he needs to rest for at least an hour before he can return to his previous state.

............

From ten o'clock when the old mage left, until three o'clock in the afternoon, Leo stayed in the real yàn room, trying to draw the promotion circle, but not a single one of them succeeded.

The second time I painted, because I didn't have enough time to rest, my arm couldn't hold on, and I shook and failed.

The third time I painted, because the sheepskin was not handled well enough, there was a small piece of sticky stuff on it, and the guide failed.

The fourth drawing, because the speed was too slow, the ink solidified, and finally failed.

Leo was already a little exhausted and wanted to continue tomorrow, but seeing that it was still early, he decided to do it one last time.

However, when he had just drawn less than a fifth, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and he was disturbed, and this time the attempt failed again without any suspense.

Leo opened the door with some irritability as he guessed who it would be.

Montoya, who was outside the door, immediately noticed that Leo's face was ugly, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Montoya didn't know what she was doing, so she couldn't blame anyone for her failure. Leo had no choice but to say, "No, I'm practicing drawing a promotion magic array, and it's just too much consumption." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a magic array, Montoya's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Oh, oh, how is the practice?"

Leo sighed and said, "Not good, I just tried four times and failed." ”

Seeing that Leo was a little depressed, Montoya hurriedly comforted: "You must be fine." ”

Leo wondered, "Why do you have so much confidence in me?"

Montoya said of course: "Yes, you are the one who taught me to learn, if you can't do it, no one can." ”

"What is this called? Leo smiled dumbly, "By the way, why don't you read a book in your own room?"

"I just heard that the teacher is out of the house?" Montoya remembered what he meant.

There's nothing to hide from this, so Leo nodded, "Well, the teacher went out to find something." ”

"When will the teacher come back?" it was already February, but Byron had not announced the recommended candidates for a long time, and Montoya was effectively anxious.

Leo could probably guess what he was thinking, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he replied, "I don't know about that." ”

"Oh......" Montoarten was disappointed, and when he saw the sheepskin on the platform, he became excited again, "Leo, are you going to try it later?"

On that attempt, Leo didn't consume much at all, so he nodded and said, "Well, I'll try again." ”

Montoya hurriedly said: "I guess after a while, I can also try to advance, but don't let me watch from the side, and promise not to disturb you." ”

"Okay...... bar. Looking at the other party's face full of anticipation, Leo really couldn't refuse.

The two entered the real yàn room and closed the door, and Montoya immediately stood honestly in front of the real yàn stage, without urging, waiting for Leo to start.

Because the magic ink has a short period of time, the ink just now must not be used, and there is no way, Leo has to make another one. However, when he opened the storage box, he found that all the other materials were sufficient, but there was not much glitter moss left, and he could probably use it two or three more times.

Leo hurriedly went to the material cabinet to check it again, but still didn't find any excess reserves.

Glitter moss is a material that can be used for a wide range of purposes and is not too expensive. Leo clearly remembers that the last time he went to Cape Dorne, the teacher purchased a lot, why was it gone.

Montoya saw that Leo didn't start drawing the circle, but instead went looking for something, so he asked, "What are you looking for, do you need me to help you?"

Leo replied as he continued to search, "I'm looking for glitter moss, you go to the cabinet over there." By the way, you know what glitter moss is. ”

"Look down on anyone, such an ordinary thing, how could I not know. Montoya rolled her eyes and followed.

More than ten minutes later, the two of them almost turned the real room upside down, and still found nothing.

Leo smiled bitterly: "Forget it, don't look for it." This thing is used quickly, and it is estimated that it is really gone. ”

Montoya got out from under a table and patted the dust off her body, "So what are you going to do?"

Leo thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not in a good state today, and I don't plan to practice anymore, do you know where to sell magic materials nearby?"

Montoya didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Of course it's Kaiyan City, didn't you go there last time?"

It would take at least four or five days to go back and forth to Kaiyan City, but there was no way to do it, so Leo had to reluctantly accept it. Then, he asked, "I haven't figured it out, which family does Kaiyan City belong to?"

"Ha, you don't even know that. Montoya laughed, taking the rare opportunity to teach Leo a lesson, and immediately explained, "Kaiyan City does not belong to any family, but a city directly under the Empire, and the supreme governor is also a city sent by the Empire. However, because it is relatively prosperous, many nobles will live there, and only go to their own territory for a while during the harvest season. ”

"It turned out to be a combination of feudalism and county. Leo muttered to himself, and then asked, "Then why is it not too far away, but the Joseph family does not live in Castle Rock?"

"Originally, there were many family members who lived in Kaiyan City, but later the uncle served in the imperial capital, so they all moved to the more prosperous imperial capital. Montoya replied with an envious face, apparently not wanting to stay in the country.

"Don't worry, when you can go in the future. Leo casually said, "Then let's go to Castle Rock tomorrow, and hopefully I can buy glitter moss." ”

Montoya originally wanted to say that he was going too, but just in time for Leo to invite the last arrears of the meal, but before he could say anything, his mind suddenly flashed, and he laughed: "Actually, it's not so troublesome, I know where to get glitter moss." ”
