my age of magic

Chapter 853 354. A Wild Duck Flies in the Lake

Near the end of the semester, I always wake up from meditation every morning and run around the square in front of the teaching building. Many times, I am like a huge bright light bulb between Noah and Shirley Newman, not only have to endure them Eye to eye, but also to have breakfast with them.

During this period of time, I have never missed the magic class in the big classroom. The quiet study and life gave me a rare time to calm down and study before the end of this semester. However, various evaluations and exams are coming soon , making the atmosphere of the academy tense and depressing before the summer vacation.

On the lawn, under the shade of a tree, or by the pool, you can always see magical students holding magic books, reciting spells, or gesticulating with a twig. Shirley Newman can't help but sit quietly with a magic book and read it carefully while I'm chatting with Noah, and there will also be three or five good friends who get together to discuss controversial magic knowledge .

Unconsciously, more than ten days have passed, and some people in the college are already preparing for the "Summer Festival" three days later. On the square lawn in front of the campus teaching building, some exquisite colorful sheds have been built one after another. It feels like preparing for a large-scale open-air exhibition. The summer festival is probably the students of the Magic Academy to show the outside world what they have gained in the past year.

Many students attach great importance to this exhibition held on the platform of the Academy of Magic. Some magic students even started to prepare two months ago, such as the future inscription masters of the empire gathered in the Inscription Club, who jointly designed and I drew a set of magic-weave suits, which has already been widely spread in the academy. This "Summer Festival" is more for those fourth-year seniors who are about to graduate from the Royal Academy of Magic. Show off your specialties at the Summer Festival.

The Royal Academy of Magic will also invite the royal family and grand dukes to come. Whether it is the royal family or the lords and grand dukes guarding one party, they are still very interested in the high-level magic students in the Royal Academy of Magic. very popular.

Over the years, the summer festival of the Royal Academy of Magic has gradually entered people's field of vision. Now, the summer festival of the Royal Academy of Magic is not only a display platform for the graduates of the academy, but also attracts other magicians from the imperial capital. Institutions, such as the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, will also present many new research results, as well as the major magic life professional guilds in the imperial capital, such as the Alchemist Guild, the Inscriber Guild, the Magic Pharmacist Guild, the Magic Tailor Guild, and the Jeweler Guild. Guilds, etc., and so on, there are many little-known small groups, as long as they have a little bit of magic, they can join in.

Anyway, among the celebrities and nobles participating in the summer festival, there are many big benefactors, who knows what kind of special preferences they have.

Scholar Yerkes also applied for a display stand at the Academy of Magic. He wants to find some buyers for the magic pattern suit leather armor of the 'Magic Serpent's Fang'. In fact, I have been persuading him to design some mainstream magic pattern structures, like It is the armor suitable for knights such as the "power of the giant chest" and the "shield of the earth" magic pattern suit. After all, the Constructed Knights are the main force in the imperial army.

The Yerkes scholar is eccentric, but not a dumb idiot, and after some thought, he still agrees with me.

For Yerkes scholars, the most available thing is the magic pattern structure with the 'Earth Shield' earth magic skill. Before that, the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure was only a single piece Constructed leather armor, now redesigned by Yerkes scholars, has become a magic pattern suit, which is ready to be displayed together with the 'Magic Serpent's Fang' at the Summer Festival.

The carpenters in the square are building the booth with wooden boards, and the fixed ropes are everywhere. Two magicians from the logistics department are holding parchment in their hands, and they are patrolling back and forth under the wooden shelves. Lively scene.

The preparations before the summer festival left the square lawn in a mess, and many magic students gathered by the fountain.

I sat leisurely on the stone platform of the pool, stretching one hand into the pool to gently stir the clear water, and holding a magic book on spatial geometry in the other hand, which gave me a big headache. This space geometry magic book contains the most basic knowledge of magic circles and the first explanation of space magic. For me, it is difficult to imagine the three-dimensional patterns constructed by the lines in the book.

With the improvement of the magic level, the affinity of water elements is also constantly increasing. My perception extends out in the pool water, and a strange scene suddenly appears in the sea of ​​spirits. The entire inner space of the pool is completely imprinted in my mind. I looked at the three-dimensional space of the fountain in the sea of ​​spirits in amazement, and Noah pushed me to pull my thoughts out of the sea of ​​spirits.

"Aren't you worried that Mrs. Whitney will fill in a 'C' on your evaluation form for the spell test in the afternoon?" Noah said to me while sitting by the pool with a smile.

For Noah, Charms is the last subject he needs to worry about. He is very familiar with the magic spells in the textbook. Consider how two different spells can be said at the same time.

But I was still within Mrs. Whitney's observation range. Mrs. Whitney could not let go of the class I missed before. She would wake me up and recite a spell at the end of each class, although I kept stuttering and couldn't satisfy her, but after all, I was able to read it completely, which made Mrs. Whitney unable to say anything.

I withdrew the hand that stretched out into the water, and the phantom in the sea of ​​spirits disappeared without a trace. Suddenly, I felt that the geometry of space opened a door for me, but at this time, I had to let Noah beside me Stop making noise, I retorted him: "Of course I mind, no one wants to become listless because of failing a certain subject throughout the summer vacation, but even under the pressure of failing a subject, I also want to study magic in my own way." Charmology, at least I am trying to make some changes, Noah, don’t you think that the current Charmology has entered a misunderstanding?”

What I said didn't make Noah realize anything, but it caused Shirley Newman, who was concentrating on reading, to look over in surprise, but she didn't speak, and she looked expectantly hoping that I could continue.

I said frankly: "Time is stagnant. It is precisely His Majesty Ogula's book "Magic and Time Relativity" that has changed the pattern of the human magic world. Time, magicians who can learn a magic skill, after possessing the time stagnation magic, this process has been greatly shortened!"

I cast a 'hydrotherapy technique' on top of Noah's head. I believe that under the cover of the 'time stagnation' magic, Noah couldn't see how I drew the magic circle and chanted the magic spell. He could only Seeing me stretch out my finger, the magic power of the water element gushed out from the fingertips, gathering on the top of his head, like a melodious wind chime, and the 'rustle' kept ringing.

Under Noah's astonished eyes, I then said to him: "There may be nothing wrong with this. When we cast a spell and enter the dimensional space, we don't need the rhythm and rhythm of the spell. We just need to recite the spell as quickly as possible." , draw the magic pattern circle, even if it can be completed in the end, it doesn’t matter, after leaving that space, just continue to read it out boldly, the success rate of casting spells is still very high.”

Seeing a trace of bewilderment appearing on Noah's face, I took the opportunity to ask him, "It's just that Noah, have you ever thought about what we learned about magic with such a mentality, and what eventually led to it?"

Noah said with some uncertainty: "Due to the stagnation of casting time, the mana is rapidly passing away, the mana in the magic pool is quickly exhausted, or something else? I don't know."

I said: "About the inheritance of human magic - we will lose some of the essence of magic skills. One day in the future, all magicians can only rely on 'time stagnation' to cast magic for granted. Everyone has forgotten magic skills. The original constituent factors: the rhythm of the spell, the fit between the spell and the magic circle, etc. This does not mean that the magic civilization is constantly improving, on the contrary, I think doing so will make us magicians slow down. A slow fall. Fall into an abyss."

"Of course, I'm not here to deny His Majesty Ogura's great achievements. When His Majesty Ogura wrote "Magic and Time", his original intention was to make low-level magic instant magic. But we can't because we have learned 'time stagnation', If you don’t understand the essence of the spell—the incomparably beautiful rhythm of the ancient elf language.” I said to Noah.

After finishing speaking, I cast the magic of 'hydrotherapy' again, this time I didn't do it in the state of 'time stagnation', but used the familiar rhythm and rhythm, singing the spell in ancient elf language, and at the same time mastered the moderate I have done this set of movements at least [-] times, and it is as smooth as flowing water, which makes people feel extremely smooth even if they are watching from the sidelines.

"Ah, it turns out that if you really master magic, you can cast it so easily!" Shirley Newman gently covered her little mouth.

I smiled, and proudly said to Noah: "So, at present, you claim that you can recite those spells very fluently, and you are trying to find the idea of ​​​​chanting two different spells at the same time, which is extremely incorrect. Want to To run, you must at least learn how to walk first, you can’t keep running with a baby walker.”

While chatting, the bell on the roof of the teaching building rang, and the magic students gathered by the water stood up one after another, holding the magic books and rushing towards the teaching building. For a moment, it was like a lake thumping and trying to fly Black Mallard.

In my panic, I was a little uncertain. Among these thumping crowds of magical students, I seemed to see a familiar figure—Mrs. Whitney.

Mana test, magician level assessment, and mental power test are always three important factors to consider a magician's growth. There are several magic tests this morning... Although I feel a little nervous, it is also some unreasonable nervousness.

……

Since Mrs. Alia met Qige at the Academy of Magic ten days ago, she was approved by Qige. Mrs. Alia has officially become my business partner with Qige. Mrs. Alia has recently changed He is extremely busy, riding a magic caravan every day, rushing between the rune plate workshop and the textile workshop, and occasionally helping me go to the blacksmith workshop to check the manufacturing progress of those light steel rails and steel nails.

The first batch of steel rails has been successfully shipped from the 'North Duisburg' blacksmith workshop and officially arrived at the warehouse at the airport.

The rune board workshop started to test the engraving printing mold today. Mrs. Alia rushed to the rune board workshop early in the morning with the gold solution. The former owner of the rune board workshop, Nick, was indeed a qualified factory manager. Or, ever since Nick saw the design concept of the golden magic rune board, he has been living in the rune board workshop for more than ten days, and has been working day and night with the thirteen apprentices left in the workshop. According to Mrs. Aliya, the red copper rune plates hoarded in the rune plate workshop have been piled up like a hill in the courtyard.

I haven't heard Mrs. Alia talk about the recent situation of her textile workshop, but I heard that she recently took a trip to the airport, probably not only to check the quality of the light steel rails, but also to go to her factory. Take some spider silk magicweave ingots from the material warehouse in the airport.

However, looking at the busy Mrs. Aliya finally rejuvenated and confident, she suddenly seemed to have become several years younger.

Recently, I have been in the magic laboratory of the Yerkes scholar every night, helping him draw a large number of 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structures. Li kept meditating until dawn, took Noah out for a morning run in the morning, sat in the lecture theater for class, and then rushed to the Academy of Magic in the afternoon, such a cycle repeated.

Scholar Yerkes paid for some very high-quality leather armor in the leather shop. According to the owner of the leather shop, these hard leather armors were the spoils brought back by the Prince of Wales from the Warsaw plane. It seems that in the Warsaw plane, The Seventh Prince of the Grimm Empire not only reaped the victory, but also gained some spoils of war. These leather armors were taken from the General of the Evil Ghost Legion. Afterwards, these hard leather armors with the physical characteristics of the evil ghosts flowed into the imperial capital. In the magic market, it was transformed into a hard leather armor suitable for imperial knights in the leather shop.

Scholar Yerkes followed my advice and has been working with me in the laboratory to make the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern suit. In order to make those magic pattern suits, I don't know my mana requirements every night. How many times have I been exhausted, anyway, when my mana is on the verge of being exhausted, I sit down and meditate. My mana recovery speed is three to five times faster than that of a magician of the same level, and my mental power is also very abundant, enough to support me to meditate anytime, anywhere every day. , Draw the magic circle like me like a demon, until the mana is exhausted, and then meditate, back and forth, almost every night can't stop.

It directly caused me to be promoted to a fifth-level magician not long after (probably less than two weeks), the magic pool in my body was full again, and the magic vortex was running at a high speed, concentrating the mana like an oil press Droplets of water fell into the magic pool. At this time, the mana in the magic pool was full. The mana in the magic pool was like a surging torrent. It fully shows that I am not too far away from being promoted to a sixth-level magician.
