Throne of the North.

Chapter 43: Mage's Notes

After Ryan saw the potatoes, he didn't pay much attention to them since they couldn't run away anyway.

"A wizard's notes are often a wizard's greatest asset. All his knowledge can be recorded in his notes."

"Moreover, a wizard's notes are different from those of a warlock. A warlock's notes are likely to be filled with curses, but a wizard's notes are the life's work of a wizard and are meant to be passed down."

"On the continent of Exner, the story that bards like to tell the most is about the protagonist obtaining a wizard's notebook and becoming a great wizard. Often, just opening the door can be exchanged for a large cup of fragrant fruit wine."

Ryan picked up the wizard's notebook on the table. The first page he opened was filled with scribbled words, and the first line revealed the wizard's name.

"My name is Melania Luna, a magic-revered person under the stars. If anyone is able to read this notebook, it means that I am afraid I have become a loser."

The female mage named Melania Luna spoke about her life in a very gentle tone, but most of it was about her days of studying in the melting pot city in the south, which were very boring and tedious.

Perhaps every magician has such a process, which allows them to transform the violent magic factors into their own gentle magic power.

The notes also record the female wizard's understanding and experience of mastering magic from the time she learned the first magic. If there were other magicians who were also practicing this kind of magic, they would probably be ecstatic.

Then comes the more boring and tedious daily life, and the subsequent gradually powerful magic learning and experiments.

The highlights of the notes begin with the first and only time this Luna mage left the Crucible City.

"I have become a great mage. If I want to go one step further and become a great wizard, I must have my own wizard tower."

"But the cold and snow brought by the winter wind submerged everything. The Crucible City relied on the underground fire to maintain the only remaining warmth on this continent. There were no more extra resources to support me in building the Mage Tower."

"But to the north of this southernmost city, in the boundless northern border, there must be a lot of wealth buried under the wind and snow. Those nobles who didn't have time to escape to the south still have a lot of gold that can be used as a medium, or even wealth like mithril and refined gold."

"This is the only way to become a great wizard, but I have never left the Crucible City..."

"I have decided that I will go to the north. Only in this way can I build my own mage tower and have my own mage academy. If I have the opportunity to become a sanctuary mage in the future, perhaps I can try to open the door to the plane and leave this world destined for death and go to a warm plane without cold."

"They all said I was well-behaved and serious, but this time I disappointed them. I am a girl full of adventurous spirit. I was not panicked after leaving the Crucible City. On the contrary, I was excited."

"Perhaps my story will be written into a book, and the bard will carry my story to distant places."

"This is not what I should be thinking about right now. I left the Crucible City and headed to the North to search for the countless buried treasures, but the first step is to survive in this cold snow."

"..."

"It's a pity that I couldn't go too far. I took the wealth back to a place close to the Crucible City. In order to prevent the wealth from being divided up by those people in the Crucible City, I couldn't go back."

"I want to build my own wizard tower in this northern territory and become a great wizard."

"In fact, my thoughts were very naive. Perhaps it was because I had never experienced anything in practice. I ignored the fact that a person's power was limited. No wonder those people didn't stop me when I left, because they knew I would bring back wealth, so they could get a share of it."

"These damn guys are so smart. I went through so much to understand these things, but none of them told me." "So, I don't plan to go back."

"The Crucible City is indeed warm, but I may not be suitable for communicating with others. If I want to build my own magic tower here, I must compromise with those nobles, such as teaching them magic."

"In the continent where the Stag Spirit has disappeared, the power of the knights has gradually become history. The once-famous Stag Knights have all been buried in the winter."

"If the nobles want to continue to maintain their status, they must possess other extraordinary powers. It turns out that they also know how cruelly they exploit their own people and slaves."

"Finally, I reached an agreement with those nobles. They arranged slaves and soldiers to help me build the Mage Tower, and I taught them meditation in return."

"In fact, I was thinking that if I could meet a suitable apprentice, maybe he could become my disciple."

"But the talents of these nobles are too poor. It takes them several days to barely feel the free magic factor. This is because I set up a magic circle at the location of the Mage Tower."

Ryan felt deep malice when he saw this.

He continued to read.

"The Mage Tower has been built. I want to become a great mage here. It will be a long process, but I have long been accustomed to loneliness."

"I still keep the cellar that I built before I built the Mage Tower to avoid the snow and wind. Back then, the potatoes that could grow in the frozen soil in the cold winter sustained my life for a long time."

"..."

"Master, this is so difficult. I seem to be failing."

"I ignored the dead silence of the magic factor brought by the eternal winter in the north. The magic factor that was once active seemed to have died in this severe winter."

"I don't have many magic materials left. Even the gold has been smelted by me. I want to build a flame furnace, but if I do this, I won't have any extra materials to become a great wizard."

"But if I don't create the flame furnace, I won't be able to activate the magic factors around me, and I won't be able to become a great wizard."

"Damn it, why has there never been any record of such a thing in the academy? Can't those ice magicians do anything in the North?"

"The only materials I have left can only support me to choose one of them, and I am unwilling to accept that."

"If I can't resist the cold, I won't be able to become a great wizard, and if I can't activate the magic factor, I won't be successful. Unfortunately, during the breakthrough process, I can't leave the wizard tower for a long time, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain."

"I knew I only had one chance, so I took the risk."

"I don't have enough knowledge to fully develop spells, but among the spells I am best at, my golem puppets are the most powerful."

"I see an opportunity, but if I fail..."
