Chapter 24: Magic apprentice

After reading this article recorded by the witch in a state of excitement and trembling, Lucian also felt an unspeakable shock. In fact, after crossing over and discovering that this is a world of divine magic and magic, he himself also had Some of these questions are simply due to too little knowledge, too little knowledge of magic, and soon forget.

Now, this magnificent point directly to the ten problems of the origin and rules of the world, and convinced Lucian that if he can understand these problems, he should be able to penetrate the truth of the world, understand why he can pass through, and find a way to go back .

"This great Arcanist named Douglas, even if he hasn't completely figured out any of these ten questions, as long as his research on these questions has made some progress, his strength must be exceptionally strong enough. Comparable to the ancient legendary magicians mentioned at the beginning of his article. "

"There are" Arcane "journals, there are weird magicians that witches meet, and it seems that there is indeed a place in the world where magic can be learned relatively safely, but it seems strange that even journals have appeared."

"In the world of magicians, what strength and status does the Arcanist represent?"

Uh ...

Lucien thought a lot from the witch's diary and this article. The more she wanted to get more excited, she could not wait to meet the strange magician right away, go to a place where she can learn magic safely, and wait for her strength to reach a certain level before returning Aalto, secretly helping the Johns.

But here, Lucien's two most excited, most anticipated and most doubtful questions are:

"Is earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements? If so, in what form and what form do they form such a wonderful world? If not, what are they? What should be magic elements?"

"Why does this world have the sun and the silver moon, why do they rise and fall every day, what is the force that keeps them running? The physical world looks like normal things. If we ask more about why, we will find that We still don't understand the truth. Are these truths, laws, and knowledge related to magic, can they be combined with magic, and can they help us explore the nature of the magic world? "

In Lucian's opinion, if the first question is that the earth, fire and feng shui are not the basic elements, and the answer to the second question is to be able to apply and incorporate the laws of the physical world into magic, it means that he has passed the past ten The main knowledge learned in the past few years and a large part of the knowledge in the library can come in handy when you learn and use magic.

If it can be used, how useful is this knowledge? Lucien has not yet touched the magician's world at this time, and can only secretly speculate: "At least since I have seen this, similar to silver, copper, Iron things are likely to have 'elements'. Except for magic and divine magic, every move in daily life has yet to occur that violates the laws of physics. "

可 "But once you add spiritual power, soul, weird and powerful magical creatures, etc., this world gives me a paradoxical feeling."

Suddenly a thought flashed through Baluchien's mind: "It seems that the reason why the part of the books in the library cannot be opened is not necessarily what I had guessed before, it is very doubtful."

Excitement was abnormal. After a long time of various thoughts, Lucian gradually calmed down. He had matured a lot. He understood that the most important thing at present was to learn magic in a down-to-earth manner. Things that cannot be confirmed yet.

No matter in which world, down-to-earth is a quality worth having.

Converged, Lucien turned to the last page of the witch's note:

"After doing meditation and experiments, I often think of him. A knowledgeable and elegant man is always charming."

Uh ...

"He told me that he came to Aalto to perform a major, hidden task. If everything goes well, maybe he will take me away in a few months to go to the magician's paradise at the headquarters of the" Continental Magic Council ". "

"Tonight, he asked me to meet at the cemetery in Adrang."

When I got here, the witch's magic notes ended abruptly, and the back was full of blank parchment paper. It seemed that she and her magician friend were ambushed by the church night watchman.

"I don't know if the magician escaped?" Lucian thought with annoyance, but he was the only clue that he currently found the "Continental Magic Council". Other legendary magicians hiding in Aalto did not Know where to start.

I breathed a few long breaths, and Lucien eliminated all the starry thoughts in his head, restored the mind to a clear and peaceful state, and prepared to try meditation to see if he could learn magic.

According to the records in the magical notes, Lucian maintained a gentle, long breathing rhythm, letting the spirit diverge, and then slowly retracting, then diverging, and then slowly retracting, until it entered a nearly empty, empty state.

According to the witch's own experience, she was identified as having magical talents and had a good mental strength since she was a child. She started to try meditation for the first time, but it took two years to enter this empty and empty state, and her mental strength grew. To the extent that the "apprentice magic apprentice" can sense the surrounding magical elements in this ethereal state, another year has passed.

However, after becoming a probationary magic apprentice, before the advanced formal magician, there is basically no obstacle to the cultivation of spiritual power. According to the meditation, it is possible to temper the spiritual power and soul step by step to a strength sufficient to build a model of spell imprint. It is difficult. It just depends on how long it will take.

The sorceress started studying meditation at the age of ten, and became a trainee magic apprentice at the age of thirteen. At the age of fourteen, she crossed the threshold of a formal magic apprenticeship and became a high-level magic apprentice. She was very satisfied with her spiritual talent.

But later, because she was not good at analyzing the magic structure and constructing the imprint model, she had to try to increase her mental strength to the level of a formal magician to force the construction. Unfortunately, the apprentice-level meditation idea was very poor at this stage. , The witch was unable to achieve the goal, so she hit her mind on a rare magic potion, "Magic Gate", and wanted to use the magic power of most advanced magic apprentices to cooperate with this magic potion for direct promotion.

Looking at the witch's records, Lucian was slightly disappointed, and felt that she could not rely on magic to deal with the possible revenge of the gangsters, but Victor was famous as Aalto and was often invited by the nobles to walk in high society. After being a formal student of his own, he has no more value, except for those who are embarrassed and dangerous, most members of the gang should not harass himself anymore.

Of course, Lucien also had a vague expectation, because Lucien had long noticed that his mental strength had made a great breakthrough after passing the sewer event, and he could even vaguely sense that someone was following. For yourself, this may reduce the time to become a probationary magic apprentice to months, or weeks.

However, the actual situation was completely unexpected by Lucian.

Because after Lucien released the mental power that had a wave-like spreading sensation and retracted it several times, he found that he had smoothly entered the blank and ethereal state. The first meditation took less than three Success in ten seconds!

Maintaining this state of meditation, Lucian tried to extend his spiritual power.

Everything around you is completely different from what you see with your eyes. It is full of calm strength, manic strength, lightness and dissipation, softness and strength.

"This is the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water? My mental strength has reached the level of a trainee magic apprentice!" Lucian was very surprised, almost unable to maintain a meditation state, "No wonder the first meditation can be Success, but that's a gain from life and death. Am I a magic apprentice now? "

Understanding the reason, Lucien calmed down with joy, maybe it won't be long before he can learn his first informal magic!

"It's just the four basic elements of this place, fire, wind, and water, how do you feel closer to the state of force." Lucian is preparing to follow the apprentice-level elements in the Book of Astrology and Elements to meditate on the idea of ​​borrowing the fire, earth, and water. Before tempering the soul and spiritual power, I didn't realize this question in my heart. Then thinking about Douglas's question, Lucian began to doubt, "Perhaps, these are the four basic forces of the universe, universal gravity, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force. Force? But aren't the latter three a different manifestation of force? "

Although not a student of the physics department, Lucian once vaguely heard people's popular science. Weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force seem to have been unified by a certain theory. They are different manifestations of the same force.

As soon as he had this idea in his heart, Lucien immediately discovered that the surrounding world felt by the mental force had changed again. A starry sky was over his head, dark and bright, and each star seemed like a small light spot, blinking constantly , And they all have an invisible force hanging down to the ground, and the earth also exudes a heavy and steady attraction. In addition, the fire, wind, and water do not seem to have changed much, except that they were originally clear and impractical. The interval that passed seemed to be a little blurred.

Lucien in meditation was not too emotional, but this change still made him wonder: "Does the magical" element "world that I feel spiritually changed according to my cognition, or Gradually perfect and clear? "

However, such changes do not seem to have a direct impact on Lucien's current spiritual training or magic study .

等等 "Wait, starry sky, isn't that a meditation that can only be used after becoming a high-level magic apprentice?" Lucian suddenly thought of another apprentice-level meditation recorded in the witch's notes.

"Book of Astrology and Elements" only listens to the name, and also knows that it focuses on the astrology and the elementary system. Of course, there are these two factions of meditative thoughts, but only the apprentice-level meditative thoughts of the astrological system, which increase spiritual strength and soul, and No stronger than the elemental system, not so much for witches.

However, as an introductory meditation idea of ​​the astrological system, it has an important ability, that is, in the first meditation, from the sensed starry sky, you can choose your own "fate master" and try to connect with it. Then slowly solidify. In this way, you can get a lot of help when studying the various magics of astrology. More importantly, if you do n’t have this "master of destiny", the astrology of astrology and other predictive magic cannot be Learned and used it.

According to the perspective of astrology, each soul corresponds to a star in the vast sky, and their destiny is reflected in the change of astrology. Without connecting your own destiny star, you cannot observe the destiny line in the starry sky, and you cannot use astrology and so on.

Because of this, the introductory thoughts of the astrological system all require spiritual strength to reach the level of high-level magic apprentices or sufficient knowledge to learn, use, and sense the starry sky. Before that, they would use other, not contradictory Faction's meditations to practice until they become high-level magic apprentices.

He murmured in his heart: "When is gravity linked to destiny? It seems that many things do not necessarily conform to previous knowledge or concepts, of course, it may also be the reason I cannot understand."
