Chapter 24 Magic Apprentice

After reading this article recorded by the witch in an excited and trembling state, Lucian also felt an indescribable shock, in fact, after traveling over and discovering that this was a world with magic and magic, he also had some of the questions, but due to too little knowledge and too little understanding of magic, he quickly forgot it.

Now, this majestic momentum directly points to the ten questions of the origin and rules of the world, making Lucian believe that if he can understand these questions, he should be able to see through the reality of the world, understand why he can cross over, 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 issues has made some progress, then his strength will definitely be extremely strong, comparable to the ancient legendary magicians mentioned at the beginning of his article."

"There is an Arcane journal, there are strange magicians encountered by witches, it seems that there are indeed places in this world where you can learn magic relatively safely, but it seems a little strange, even journals have appeared."

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

……

Lucian thought of a lot from the witch's diary and this article, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wanted to meet the strange magician immediately, go to a place where he could safely learn magic, and wait until he was strong to a certain extent, and then return to Alto to secretly help John's family.

And among them, the two questions Lucian was most excited about, looked forward to, and were most confused about:

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

"Why do there are suns and silver moons in this world, why do they rise and set every day, and what is the force that keeps them in this motion? If we ask more about the reasons for these seemingly normal things in the material world, we will find that we still don't understand whether these truths, laws and knowledge are related to magic, can they be combined with magic, and can they help us explore the essence of the magical world?"

In Lucian's view, if the first question is indeed not a basic element, and the answer to the second question is to be able to apply and combine the laws of the material world into magic, it means that the main knowledge he has learned in the past ten years and a large part of the knowledge in the library can be useful when learning and using magic.

Lucian had not yet been in deep contact with the world of magicians at this time, so he could only speculate secretly: "At least for a period of time, I have seen things similar to silver, copper, and iron, and it is likely that there are really 'elements', and except for magic and magic, there has never been anything that violates the laws of physics in daily life."

"But once I add spiritual power, soul, strange and powerful magical creatures, etc., this world gives me a feeling of being like the earth."

Lucian suddenly had an idea in his mind: "From this point of view, the reason why the books in the library cannot be opened may not be what I guessed before, it is very doubtful."

After a long time of excitement and various thoughts kept popping up, Lucian gradually calmed down, and he had matured a lot, and he understood that the most important thing at present was to learn magic in a down-to-earth manner, and he must not unrealistically fantasize and chase things that cannot be confirmed now.

No matter what world you are in, being grounded is a quality worth having.

Gathering all his thoughts, Lucian turned to the last page of the witch's note:

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

……

"He told me that he came to Aalto to carry out some major and secret mission, and if everything goes well, maybe he can take me away in a few months to go to the headquarters of the 'Continental Magic Council', the magician's paradise."

"Tonight, he asked me to meet him at the cemetery in Adjean District."

At this point, the witch's magic notes suddenly ended, followed by blank parchment, and it seemed that she and her magician friend had been ambushed by the church's night watch.

"I don't know if the magician escaped?" Lucian thought a little troubled, he was the only clue he had found to the "Continental Magic Council", and he didn't know where to start with other legendary magicians hidden in Alto.

After taking a few long breaths, Lucian cleared all the starry thoughts in his mind, restored his mind to a clear and quiet state, and prepared to try meditation to see if he could learn magic.

According to the record in the magic notebook, Lucian maintained a soft, long breathing rhythm, allowing the spirit to diverge, and then slowly retract, then diverging, and then slowly retracting until it entered an almost ethereal, blank state.

According to the witch's own experience, she was identified as having magical talent since she was a child, and she started meditating for the first time, but it took two years to enter this ethereal, blank state, and her mental power grew to the level of "apprentice magic apprentice" who could sense the surrounding magical elements in this ethereal state, and another year passed.

However, after becoming an apprentice magic apprentice, before becoming an advanced formal magician, there is basically no hindrance in spiritual power cultivation, and you can follow the meditation method step by step to temper your spiritual power and soul to the strength of building a spell mark model, the difficulty is only how long it takes.

The witch began learning meditation at the age of ten, became an apprentice magic apprentice at the age of thirteen, and by the age of fourteen, she crossed the threshold of a formal magic apprentice and became a high-level magic apprentice.

But later, because she was not good at analyzing magic structures and building imprint models, she had to try to increase her spiritual power to the level of a formal magician, so she could forcibly build it, but unfortunately the apprentice-level meditation method, by this stage, the effect was already very poor, and the witch was unable to achieve her goal for a long time, so she made the idea of a rare magic potion "Magic Door", wanting to use the spiritual power that is stronger than most high-level magic apprentices to cooperate with this magic potion to directly advance.

Originally, after reading the witch's record, Lucian was slightly disappointed, feeling that he could not rely on magic to deal with the possible revenge of the gang in a short period of time, but Victor, as Alto was famous, often invited by the nobles, and an elegant person who roamed the upper class.

Of course, Lucian also had a vague expectation in his heart, because Lucian had already noticed that his mental power had made a big breakthrough after the incident in the sewers, and he could even vaguely sense that someone was following him, which might shorten the time to become an apprentice magic apprentice to a few months or weeks.

But the actual situation was completely beyond Lucian's expectations.

Because after Lucian radiated the spiritual power that spread like water waves and took it back a few times, he found that he had smoothly entered that blank and ethereal state, and the first meditation took less than thirty seconds to succeed!

Maintaining this meditative state, Lucian tried to extend his mental power.

Everything around is completely different from what the eye sees, full of calm and heavy power, manic power, light and ethereal power, soft and continuous power.

"These are the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water? My mental power has reached the level of an apprentice magic apprentice!" Lucian was so surprised that he almost couldn't keep his meditative state, "No wonder you can succeed in the first meditation, but that's a gain that can only be obtained on the line of life and death. I'm a magic apprentice now, right?"

Understanding the reason, Lucian calmed down happily, maybe it wouldn't be long before he could learn his first informal magic!

"It's just that these four basic elements, earth, fire, wind, and water, how can they feel closer to the state of force." Before Lucian was about to follow the apprentice-level elemental meditation method in the "Book of Astrology and Elements" and borrow earth, fire and feng shui to temper his soul and spiritual power, this question arose in his heart, and then thinking of Douglas's question, Lucian began to doubt, "Perhaps, these are the four basic forces of the universe, gravity, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force? But aren't the latter three different manifestations of force?"

Although he is not a physics student, Lucian once vaguely heard that weak nuclear forces, electromagnetic forces, and strong nuclear forces seem to have been unified by a certain theory, and they are different manifestations of the same force.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Lucian immediately found that the surrounding world felt by the spiritual power had changed again, there was an extra starry sky above his head, dark and bright, each star was like a small dot of light, flickering non-stop, and they all had an invisible force hanging down to the ground, and the earth also exuded a heavy and calm attraction power.

Lucian, who was in a meditative state, was not too emotional, but such a change still made him think: "Could it be that the magical 'elemental' world sensed by my spiritual power has changed according to my cognition, or has it gradually improved and become clearer?"

However, such a change does not seem to have a direct impact on Lucian's current spiritual tempering or magic learning.

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

"Book of Astrology and Elements" only listens to the name, and also knows that it focuses on astrology and elemental systems, of course, the meditation method has these two factions, but the astrological apprentice-level meditation method is not stronger than the elemental system in terms of increasing spiritual power and soul, and it does not have much effect on witches.

However, as an introductory meditation method for astrology, it has an important ability, that is, during the first meditation, you can choose your own "main star of destiny" from the starry sky you sense, and try to connect with it, and then slowly stabilize, so that you can get a lot of help when learning various magic of astrology in the future.

According to the astrological perspective, each soul corresponds to a star in the vast starry sky, and their fate is reflected in the changes in the stars. Without connecting to your own main star of destiny, you cannot observe the thread of fate in the starry sky, and you cannot use astrology.

It is precisely because of this that the introductory meditation methods of the astrological system must reach the level of advanced magic apprentices or have enough knowledge to learn, use, and sense the starry sky.

Lucian muttered in his heart: "When was gravity connected with fate? It seems that many things may not necessarily fit previous knowledge or concepts, and of course, it may also be for reasons that I do not understand."
