Above the mage

Chapter 55 Understanding the Roller

Gao De shook his head, putting these irrelevant thoughts behind him.

He reached out and groped around, taking the box containing basic magic potions from the side of the wooden table.

Open the box.

"We're almost done using it up." Gao De looked at the three medicine bottles neatly arranged in the box, only one of which was intact, while the other two were empty.

He took out the last bottle of basic magic potion.

Looking at the clear liquid in the bottle, Gao De couldn't help but exclaim, "This stuff is almost as addictive as drugs!"

The astonishing training efficiency after taking basic magic potions is addictive.

Having grown accustomed to the highly efficient and exhilarating feeling of cultivation after drinking the magic potion, once they stopped drinking it, their previously familiar cultivation methods became slow and sluggish, making cultivation difficult and unpleasant no matter how they tried.

It is precisely because it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

He gently pulled out the stopper and drank the entire bottle of basic magic potion in one gulp. Only after confirming that not a single drop was left did Gao De begin his training for the day.

After completing the "Nanfu" style of practice, where "one section is better than six," Gao De did not get up immediately, but instead began to construct a magic model.

Two days have passed since he purchased the two new spell recipes.

He had been working on building a spell model for the [Reading Magic] for the past two days, but he hadn't been very lucky and hadn't succeeded for two days in a row.

"If I could really complete the recipe for the psychic potion, with the help of the magic potion, I could master any magic trick in a day," Gao De muttered to himself.

I've failed these past two days. Several times I was just a hair's breadth away from success. If I had a little more mental control, I could have succeeded.

Even with all the setbacks, they should be able to master the [Reading Magic] within the next day or two.

With this in mind, Gao De began to calm his mind and once again tried to construct a spell model in the sea of ​​spells.

Half an hour later.

Gao De suddenly opened his eyes, a faint hint of joy in his gaze.

He was silent.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow".

Suddenly, a rudimentary information interface appeared in Gaode's mind.

In the spells section, a new entry has been added after 【Detect Magic】: 【Read Magic】.

[Reading Magic] (Prophecy, 0 rings)

You can decipher magical text on items such as books, scrolls, and weapons that cannot be deciphered by other means. Such deciphering usually does not release the magic contained in these texts.

Furthermore, once this spell has been cast and a piece of magical text has been deciphered, the same text can be understood without having to resort to reading magic again.

"Finally, we succeeded!" Gao De exclaimed.

He suppressed his excitement and eagerness, opened his cabinet, took out the scroll left by the monk Seda, and spread it out on the table.

The scroll was covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand magical characters.

The time and effort required to learn a language is unimaginable.

In previous lives, it often took many years to master a foreign language.

Fortunately, magic, an inexplicable and extraordinary power, exists in this world.

With a slight thought, Gao De felt his magical power flow within him, and a star trail flashed across the newly constructed spell model of the [Reading Magic] spell in the Sea of ​​Spells.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and an invisible magical fluctuation surged within them.

Gao De gently ran his finger across the magical text on the scroll, his eyes intently following the movement of his finger.

At this moment, language is no longer a barrier.

The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand magical characters, though still appearing as gibberish to Gao De, were gradually revealing the meaning behind each character in his mind:

Cyrus Academy of Magic

I write this letter in the name of the tenth Dean of the Cyrus Academy of Magic.

The purpose of this recommendation is to grant those who possess this letter the supreme honor and privilege of direct admission to our school, regardless of their background, age, or prior experience, without requiring any form of entrance examination.

These exceptional rights are of great importance, reserved only in extremely rare moments in the history of the Academy for individuals and families who have demonstrated extraordinary potential or made significant contributions or have potential value to the Duchy and the Academy.

Although the bearer is not explicitly named here, I have confirmed his/her qualifications and hereby grant him/her this supreme recommendation.

I firmly believe that the Seres Academy of Magic, as the most outstanding magic academy in the Duchy, has the ability and the responsibility to open the door to knowledge and power for believers.

Regardless of when this letter is received, the school council must accept this recommendation and provide the letter bearer with the utmost respect and support, arranging for them to directly study under a senior tutor whose talents and aspirations are suitable for them.

May the light of magic guide the way, and may wisdom and courage forever accompany the name of Seres.

Gavin Hogg

[Official Seal]

"This is..." Gao De exclaimed in surprise.

The scroll's "true identity" was completely unexpected.

Before the interpretation, Gaode had made many guesses about the scroll:

It could be some incredible ancient secret, information about hidden treasure, or even, as some speculate, knowledge of a magic potion recipe.

I never expected it to be a letter of recommendation.

No, it shouldn't be called a letter of recommendation. A letter of recommendation is a "recommendation," and based on the content, it goes far beyond that.

"Isn't this just a qualification for postgraduate recommendation?"

Gao De murmured.

He knows this very well.

Regardless of background, age or prior experience

It is even the most effective "guaranteed postgraduate admission qualification".

"I wonder what level this Seres Magic Academy is, where it's located, and whether it still exists today?" Gao De pondered.

To be honest, he was momentarily tempted.

Having experienced the education he received in his previous life, Gao De was acutely aware of how important systematic basic learning was.

This is equivalent to the foundation of a skyscraper.

The master leads you through the door, but the practice depends on yourself.

True achievement is not taught, but the initial step of guiding someone into the field is extremely important.

Upon closer reflection, Gaode immediately recognized the reality.

He had never heard of the name "Ceres Magic Academy" before, which proved that the magic academy either no longer existed or was located far away from Hogan City.

As for the former, there's not much to say.

If it were the latter, given the current situation, Gao De wouldn't abandon the medicine garden and leave Hogan City for this admission qualification.

First, he currently lacks the ability to travel long distances.

Secondly, it would be irrational to abandon a reasonably well-functioning business just for a so-called "letter of recommendation without examination".

Although the letter stated, "Regardless of when the school council receives this letter, it is imperative to accept this recommendation," it is common knowledge that once the get-out-of-jail-free card is broken, it is broken; one can simply kowtow before the ancestors' spirits.

Whether these kinds of oaths work or not depends entirely on luck.

The expected input is not proportional to the expected return.

At least for now, this "no-exam recommendation letter" is of little value to Gaode.

Gaode was somewhat disappointed, but still carefully put it away.

"Who knows, it might come in handy someday?"

After all, the scroll clearly states that "regardless of their background, age, or prior experience, they are entitled to the highest honor and privilege of direct admission to our school."

"Try to find an opportunity to ask Pierre about it; he might know about this Cyrus Magic Academy."

"After all, it was left behind by the mage Seda, so it's highly likely to be the magic academy of the Duchy of Sien," Gao De thought to himself.

The Duchy of Sien is large enough that Gao De finds it hard to believe that the mage Seda would possess a "letter of recommendation without examination" from a magic academy in another country.

"However, if this Seres Magic Academy truly belongs to the Duchy of Sean, why didn't Mage Seda use this 'letter of recommendation'?"

However, this speculation has led to new questions that have left Gaode completely baffled.
