Mage Adam

Ophelia is also very interested. Although she has excellent talent and is very efficient when using spiritual power to guide the cultivation of blood energy, it is the first time for her to come into contact with the method of mental power solidification rune, which simply acts on spiritual power.

Mage Black once again outlined the spiritual solidification rune, and then said: "Runes are the language of magic, and they are one of the foundations for mages to launch spells. It does not have a fixed writing mode. How mages understand the knowledge they have mastered depends on What kind of runes will be formed."

Master Black paused here, probably because he was in a good mood, and he continued: "Learn the combination of runes created by other mages, and you can use his spells to engrave the runes of self-understanding in your soul, and you will Form your own spells."

Adam expressed his gratitude to Mage Black. This is like saying that every spell is a program. Mages are both developers and users of the program. The difference is that the developer has the source code, but the user does not.

At this time, Master Black asked her: "So Miss Ophelia, do you have any questions?"

Ophelia was dazzled by what she heard, immersed in the magic of mages and spells, which is far beyond knights, and her mind was full of the idea of ​​becoming a mage. When she heard Mage Black's inquiry, she blurted out: "How can I become a real mage? mage?"

"The path of a mage is not single, but it is essentially a process of transcending the soul and life. Find your own path, learn enough knowledge to sublimate yourself and fully master them, and then engrave them in your soul, you can achieve the path of a mage. "For this question, Mage Black was rather vague, because this proposition is too grand, and it will take a long time to explain it in detail, let alone whether Ophelia can understand it. Of course, the most important thing is the guide. Responsibility is not enough to outweigh the value of this answer.

"Besides, these two questions actually have something in common. If you are smart enough, it will be enough to clear up a little bit of clues." Looking at the still ignorant Ophelia and the thoughtful Adam, Master Black thought to himself.

"You can go to rest. You can take a look at tomorrow's aptitude test if you want. Maybe your companions will be born in it. If you don't want to, you can do it. But for most mages, the road to the truth is not easy. It should be lonely, because a person's wisdom has limitations after all." After finishing speaking, Master Black left the main hall at the invitation of Earl Johnson.

Ophelia and Adam looked at each other without saying a word, and went back to rest respectively.

Adam stayed up all night, sitting on the bed and carefully recalling what he saw tonight and every word Master Black said, and finally focused completely on the simple spiritual solidification rune.

If this rune is compared to a simple program, and Adam's mental power is compared to data, then it is obvious that this program is not enough to carry too much data, that is to say, if Adam wants to continue to improve, the first thing to do is Optimize this program.

"Establish missions and develop rune structures with greater capacity."

The spiral rune displayed by Mage Black is two distorted lines, which looks a bit like an hourglass, but in the final analysis it is only a two-dimensional plane structure. It has the concept of graphics but not the concept of volume. In the text, mental power is turned into lines to outline graphics, and then this part of mental power solidified into graphics is retained in the mind. Because the spiritual power is partially solidified, there is room for the increase of mental power.

Adam analyzed silently, and at the same time quickly sketched the runes at a speed of one per minute. After one night, nearly 500 runes were formed and kept in his mind. However, Adam found that this was of no use. If it is simply regarded as one hundred, then each rune can hold less than 0.1. That is to say, if Adam did not develop a more efficient rune structure, Adam would use it to fill in the rune only with the rune shown by Master Black. full memory,

It is also impossible to solidify all spiritual power.

However, it is obvious that a more efficient structure cannot be created overnight, but Adam is not in a hurry. He is in a good state of mind now and is not afraid of encountering problems. When encountering problems, it means that he is on the road. He is afraid that he is not even qualified to go on the road.

The hustle and bustle outside the city lord's mansion in the morning made Adam stop practicing as a mage. He walked out of the room. Everyone in the city lord's mansion knew that the identity of the young man was different at this moment. And exquisite dishes.

When Adam was halfway through eating, Ophelia came in and sat beside him, "Did you practice as a mage last night?"

Adam nodded.

She seemed very excited, without the indifference and alienation of the past: "I have drawn nearly a hundred runes, and I feel that my spiritual power has increased, and the practice of a mage can actually reduce fatigue. I haven't slept all night, but I am still full of energy."

Adam didn't speak, but Ophelia's interest remained undiminished, and she said mysteriously: "You know, after you left last night, I got another message from Master Black."

Adam was still chewing with his head down. Seeing that he didn't respond, Ophelia said angrily, "Don't you want to know?"

Adam didn't stop the knife and fork, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he said softly: "Now your heartbeat is accelerating by 60%, and your spirit is abnormally excited."

Ophelia's expression froze. Are you saying she's crazy?

Adam went on to say: "As for the news you said, if you want to tell me, I can know it. If you don't want to, it's useless for me to be curious."

Ophelia let out a foul breath. She also knew that she was a little excited, but she couldn't restrain her joy when she left the boring life, the cold Northland and her family.

And Adam, the companion who will enter the mage's path with her, became even more pleasing to the eye, which is why she put down her noble arrogance and talked with Adam.

In fact, Ophelia is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and her lively nature should be her nature.

Ophelia decided not to care about Adam's attitude, and now she desperately needs someone to share with: "Do you know why the honorable Master Mage personally came to host a small aptitude test? Do you know why the location was chosen in the barren North? land?"

Adam showed some interest, and this is where his doubts lie. Although Mage Black looked very kind yesterday, the indifference towards mortals in his eyes could not be hidden from Adam. This is not arrogance and prejudice, but comes from the level of life indifference.

Perhaps in Master Black's heart, he is not the same creature as mortals at all.

So the question is, why would a high-ranking mage put down his identity and do such a thing?

Ophelia was very satisfied when she saw Adam finally raised her head, and said in a low voice, "A year ago, Moldo Wizard Academy started to belong to the same family..." Ophelia suddenly stopped, twisted After thinking about it, he continued: "Uh, there is a school war with the Monte Carlo Masters Academy. Originally, the two colleges were evenly matched, but just two months ago, the Monte Carlo Masters Academy suddenly broke out and mole The Mage Academy was losing ground, and in the end Moldo Mage Academy was defeated, losing most of its mage apprentices, and I heard that even its sphere of influence has been invaded in large numbers, so Mage Black will personally select apprentices."

Adam calmed down after a little bit of shock. Even if there were battles and wars among ordinary people, how could it be possible for mages who have mastered extraordinary powers to be friendly and help each other. "Is it just a war between apprentices?"

Ophelia said: "No, of course it's not just the war between apprentices, even a few official mages have fallen, but these are too far away from you and me, what I want to say is good news... ..”

I don't know when he walked down from the second floor, Master Black took over the conversation, and said: "Due to the death of a large number of elite wizard apprentices, the official wizards of Moldo Master Academy will select disciples from a new batch of master apprentices. This is your chance. , once you are selected, you will avoid many detours on the way to become a full-fledged mage."

Adam and Ophelia stood up and saluted respectfully. Master Black waved his hands and said to them, "It seems that you are willing to choose apprentices with me? Then let's go together."

Ophelia plucked up the courage to recommend herself: "Dear Master Black, I..."

Master Black didn't look back, and said lightly: "The official mages are very cautious in selecting disciples. You must at least practice in the academy and master your own path before you can be favored. Moreover, the paths of mages are different. My path Not necessarily for you."

In the long life of a mage, I don’t know how many geniuses who were amazingly talented at the apprenticeship stage. However, as he said yesterday, aptitude is never the basis for deciding whether to advance. Wisdom and knowledge are. No one wants to invest resources in an unprofitable business.

Ophelia lowered her head in disappointment. The importance of Mage Black made her think that she could succeed as a master, but it was clear that the mage was not such a superficial person.

Adam didn't even mean to ask. Mage Black was right. If the teacher couldn't point out the way, simply providing resources would not play a key role, and now Adam didn't know what his way to become a mage was.

It was still yesterday's main hall. Before entering the main hall, Ophelia regained her mood, and her demeanor became noble and inviolable again. She could show friendliness to Adam, who was in the same class now, but she was still superior to other people.

Outside the main hall, there were many boys and girls waiting anxiously, followed by their family members who were also anxious and at a loss. This was probably an excellent opportunity for the poor to change their destiny and the rich to step into a higher class. Everyone had made countless preparations in advance , vowed to do everything in his power.
