Chapter 8: The Secret of Crystals

In addition to training during the day, Hans spends every night studying the Marlin crystal in Amanda's small house, and lately he has been figuring out how the crystal color changes. Each crystal will shine with a different color of light, and sometimes you can find a pattern by looking at one of them, and the color change is always in a certain order, but when you move the angle a little, this pattern becomes completely different.

On a whim, he went to find Amanda. He said directly to Amanda: "I have a clue about the Marin crystal recently, but I have encountered a problem, if only I could find two identical crystals." I've heard you say before that crystals need to be cut and polished before being inlaid with equipment, and the magic array is engraved, I wonder if I can find two of the same ones for me to compare the following?"

Amanda said: "I don't have two identical crystals, but it's not too difficult to find, I guess I can find them in the jewelry workshop in Fran City, I have a little relationship with Miss Ora there, let's borrow two another day." ”

So, Hans waited a few more days, and sure enough, Amanda brought back two identical crystals. They are two crystals engraved with a fire-type magic circle, which, if set on a wand, can make it easier for mages to cast fire-based magic, and are usually made in batches for beginner mages in workshops.

That night, Hans carefully studied the two crystals, and the crystals were engraved with the fire magic array, and the overall color became a little red, but the flickering shimmer would still change. He used the same angle to observe the changes of the two crystals, and as expected, their color changes the same law! But what is the secret of this law? He couldn't figure it out for a while.

The next night, Hans told Amanda about his discovery, and it turned out that Amanda had known about the problem for a long time, and began to explain magic to Hans at length.

I saw Amanda say: "The original color change of the crystal is irregular, it has nothing to do with the shape and size, but when it is engraved on the magic array, its color change becomes regular, to know the reason, you have to start with the magic array." ”

"The so-called engraving is the imprint drawn by the craftsman on a plane of the crystal using the spiritual liliang control magic, and the primary fire magic array is composed of a pentagram, and its drawing method is required, starting from the upper vertex to the lower right vertex to complete a pentagram in one stroke, and it can also add a perfect circle to make the flow of magic more consolidated. The other basic elements are drawn from pentagrams. ”

"Due to the existence of the magic array, the flow of magic inside the Marin crystal was triggered, so that its flow mode ran in the order of the strokes at the time of engraving, and it became a cycle of endless cycles. ”

"Actually, I don't teach them this knowledge in my mage training class, because I only teach them how to use magic to perform magic, such as how to use a fireball. ”

As she spoke, Amanda raised her right hand as if she were holding something, and then slowly condensed a small fireball in the air above her palm, which grew larger and larger, and the heat generated made Hans want to retreat, and then slowly shrunk again, and finally disappeared.

"Actually, you don't necessarily need a magic array to use magic, I just use the magic liliang in my body to circulate once in the order of the pentagram of fire, and it can still be formed. However, due to the load on the body due to this flow process, especially some high-level magic, it may also produce magical backlash if you are not careful. Therefore, we usually guide it to the magic array outside the body, among which the Marin crystal is a special magic array carrier, the larger the Marlin crystal, the greater the magic liliang that can be withstanded. ”

"If you're really interested in learning more about magic, you can visit the Academy of Magic in Fran City if you have the chance, but it's not easy to actually study there. Your first task is how to trigger your own mana fluctuations, without which nothing is empty words. ”

After listening to Amanda's explanation, Hans continued to go back to the room to think alone, he looked at the fire crystal, and his head had been simulating the magic array of the pentagram of fire, imagining that there was a force in his body to walk back and forth in the direction...... But after thinking about it, he was never able to find a trace of magic fluctuations.

After many attempts, Hans came up with another solution. He drew a relatively large pentagram on the ground, placed Marlin crystals at each vertex, and then walked on the pentagram in large letters himself, and then continued to imagine the flow of magic......

He was so tired that not long after the trip Hans fell asleep, and he slept in large characters until dawn, until Amanda opened the door.

Amanda was startled when she entered the door, and immediately woke Hans up: "Hurry up, do you want to kill yourself?" You draw a magic circle like this, and you are still in the middle, as long as there is a little magic from the outside world into this magic circle, you will be burned to death!"

Hans said innocently, "The doors are locked, there won't be any outside magic, right?"

Amanda said: "Some small insect monsters also have magical powers, they can fly in and roast you, don't do such dangerous things in the future." ”

As she spoke, Amanda walked over and touched Hans's head to check it. After a while, she suddenly looked at Hans with her eyes wide open.

"I really awakened a trace of magic liliang! I didn't think this stupid method would work, this is a major discovery. Can you feel the magic fluctuations in your body now? It's very weak, but it's true. ”

When Hans heard this, he immediately became refreshed and began to close his eyes and feel. Vaguely felt that there was a small ball of energy in his heart, he focused his attention on this energy, and found that he could actually command it to move, and then couldn't wait to command this energy to draw a fire pentagram, only to feel that the temperature in his body began to rise, getting hotter and hotter, and even began to feel a little uncomfortable.

The burning pain made him suddenly wake up, and suddenly found Amanda pressing a hand on his chest, as if directing the magic, and slowly the hot feeling disappeared.

I saw Amanda say: "You haven't learned how to release magic liliang yet, don't just simulate the magic array in your body." ”

Hans took a deep breath and asked, "Am I now able to learn magic?"

Amanda smiled: "Yes, congratulations, you have overcome the difficulty of starting something from nothing, maybe you can also write an article about this process and archive it in the Academy of Magic for future reference." However, your magic is still very weak enough to unleash any magic. Starting today, I can officially enroll you in the mage class, and I'll talk to Portu in a moment, and I'll teach you how to consolidate your magic and how to release it. You have to practice alone according to the method I gave you, and if you can catch up with the progress of the magician class, you can study together. ”
