Chapter 174 Getting on the ship
The dim yellow candlelight illuminated the entire house unusually brightly through the silver magic lampshade, and Annick, Leilia, and Heidi kept calculating and parsing the exercise question left by Lucian on the paper, "On the elemental equations behind the apprentice-level magic of acid sputtering and its structural shape".
This carefully selected magic allows them to memorize some elemental symbols, master the theorems of the foundations of magical geometry, master calculation methods and the principles of mapping elemental equations to structural figures.
The three fourteen-year-old children analyzed it with full attention, with a hint of fatigue on their faces.
With a bang, there was a knock on the door, and Annick sat up straight, looking left and right blankly as if he had woken up from a dream.
Leilia and Heidi put down the quill half a beat slower than him, and said with a little worry and fear: "Is Mr. Evans back? Will there be another magic analysis question? Or do you keep releasing magic in the magic practice room like in the afternoon?"
During this time, Lucian guided and did a set of exercises in the morning, and in the afternoon they were asked to practice the release of magic repeatedly, resuming consumption and consumption again and again, in order to shorten the casting time and better understand the basics of arcane through application, and in the evening, they commented and explained the daytime practice, as well as magic analysis problems that took several nights of hard work to figure out.
But when they saw the magic they had learned and used difficult to use in their hands, they felt a strong sense of accomplishment and happiness and satisfaction.
Annick shook his head: "Mr. Evans will push the door in directly."
Hearing Annick's affirmation, Leilia and Heidi both patted their chests: "Fortunately, it's not Mr. Evans."
"I'll go see who it is. Uh, it seems that night has completely fallen, how can I feel that I have just had dinner and saw clouds as red as blood in the evening." Annick shook his head, feeling that he always felt that time was out of order after studying hard in the past few days.
Opening the door, Annick was surprised to see Splinter and Katrina, who were ignoring themselves and a little proud, standing at the door, who had become the leaders of the apprentices with their outstanding talent and rapidly growing strength: "Sprint, Katrina, do you have anything to do?"
Whether you want to admit it or not, when you see Splinter and Katrina explaining the basics of arcane to the other young apprentices, and when you see them release their magic naturally, quickly and smoothly, Annick has a feeling of envy.
When Sprint heard Annick's question, his face was already well-defined at a young age, with a surprised expression, and then he couldn't help but say amusedly: "Annick, are you dizzy when you do the questions? Today is the time for us to leave for the council headquarters!"
"What, it's already the seventh day?" Heidi heard the news as soon as she walked to the door, her expression was extremely shocked, and then she pinched her fingers and counted: "One set of exercises, two sets of exercises...... Uh, it's really time to go, I completely forgot!"
She looked at the night view outside the window, and her crisp voice was already low because of the chanting all afternoon: "It's only been seven days?"
Katrina's proud face had a little sympathy: "Annick, Heidi, Leilya, look at you! Mr. Evans is new to the arcane, and the guidance is not right, you have to bring it up, you can't let him try and torture."
"Hmph, what's the use of you closing the door and doing those repetitive, simple exercises every day?!" Splinter raised his head slightly and said, "I think your arcane foundation is still very poor."
Leilia subconsciously shook her head and said, "I think it's very useful. If seven days ago, I couldn't find where the arcane gate was, now I have touched the edge of the gate."
"Leilia is right. Mr. Evans is a formal magician, and I think the order of learning he summarized, as well as the repetitive and simple exercises, are very useful, at least now I can independently learn the rest of the content in advance without feeling completely incomprehensible." Annick rubbed his swollen and painful forehead and said clearly and methodically.
Heidi also put away her liveliness, and said seriously with her small face: "In the magic practice room these days, haven't you also seen the progress of our release of magic? This is all the reason why Mr. Evans taught well!"
After the three teenagers expressed their support for Mr. Evans, they all said silently in their hearts:
"If there were fewer practice questions, it would be perfect!"
Sprint snorted: "Of course, magic requires a lot of practice and repetition, and Mr. Evans is indeed an authority on this, but I don't mean that." He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed back: "Forget it, you continue to suffer, remember to gather in the study hall at ten o'clock."
Katrina glanced at Splinter's back as she turned away, and then said, "Remember ten o'clock sharp, study hall. It is said that when we arrive at the council, we will be placed in the magic school system to learn the basics of arcane and magic.
"Why don't they want to believe us? I really feel like I've made a lot of progress, I used to have a headache when I read books!" Heidi looked at the other two aggrievedly, thinking that Sprint and the others had a hard time communicating.
Leilia also puffed out: "Although I also think we are very tired and pitiful, our progress on the basis of arcane is really obvious."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, as long as we keep improving, they will always believe it." Annick comforted them, but his face collapsed as he spoke, "Our magic analysis problem is not finished yet, today is the deadline set by Mr. Evans."
Leilia and Heidi immediately lost their grievances, and said at the same time with resentment and eagerness: "Let me defeat it!"
…………
They were once again immersed in the world of magic and woke up only after being tapped on the shoulder.
"Mr. Evans." Annick turned his head and saw Lucian's handsome and gentle but indescribable fearful face, "I'm still a little bit close to analyzing it."
Hearing this name that made them both revered and afraid, Leilia and Heidi quickly stood up: "Mr. Evans, I'm still a lot ...... away."
Lucian got the "Brook Meditation Method" and said in a good mood: "It's good to be able to do this. Since we are leaving tonight, we will postpone the time until tomorrow night."
"Really?" Heidi almost jumped up, and she and Leilia said happily: "That's great!"
Even Annick, a relatively silent and ordinary boy, couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Lucian reflected on himself slightly, smiled and said: "There is still half an hour until ten o'clock, let's talk. You tell me honestly, isn't it too much practice?"
After dinner, Lucian came over to take a look at them, and then returned to his room to experiment with the "Brook Meditation Method".
This meditation method uses spiritual power as a wave to temper and vibrate, seeking a special frequency, so it has nothing to do with the meditation environment and can be integrated into other meditation methods, and it itself also provides different integration methods for different factions of meditation methods, so it does not conflict with the astrological meditation method and elemental meditation method currently used by Lucian.
After experimenting, Lucian found that the effect was indeed obvious, ten times that of the ancient meditation method he had used before, allowing him to reach the minimum requirements for the soul and spiritual power of the Second Ring Magician in more than a month, close to the results of the past year. I have to sigh in my heart that in this world, magic is not the older and more powerful, but it has developed significantly.
Hearing Lucian's question, Leilia said with a slightly red face: "Mr. Evans, it's actually okay, without so much practice, I definitely can't grasp the arcane foundation so firmly." Then she rubbed her feet on the ground wearing black round-scalped shoes, her face becoming more and more blushing, "But if it can be a little less......"
"Mr. Evans, it's hard work, but I think it's worth it!" Annick replied boldly, and he could clearly feel the progress he had made in the past seven days.
Heidi also imitated Leilia's appearance: "As long as Mr. Evans, you don't want us to take out another one just after doing one exercise, the rest is acceptable......"
Lucian smiled: "At present, it is to help you lay the foundation and let you accept the arcane concept, which will be appropriately reduced later." My homeroom teacher also lied to me like this...... However, it will indeed decrease somewhat, because here theory can be directly linked to practice.
Seeing the three teenagers bowing their heads happily and shyly, Lucian continued: "In fact, when you become official magicians in the future, you will find that the foundation of the arcane you are learning is so simple and easy, so clear and easy to understand.
"Is it really that difficult?" Heidi asked curiously.
"Of course. But this is not too difficult, I have a hunch that with the rapid development of arcane and magic, knowledge will become more and more difficult in the future. Maybe in a year or two of the future, magicians below the advanced level will probably not come into contact with it, but if the magicians above the advanced level want to advance, they may need to learn all kinds of horror ...... Change...... Not...... Analyze...... and all kinds of unimaginable things that go deep into the micro and macro levels." Lucian sighed vaguely.
Leielijah's curiosity was also aroused: "Mr. Evans, how difficult do you think it will be?"
"It will probably be so difficult that those high-level magicians can't wait to travel through time and space and kill the guys who created this knowledge one by one." Lucian replied half-jokingly.
Brush, Annick and the sweat on the faces of the two little girls came out, and then he asked in a low voice: "Among the people who may be killed by the high-level magicians in the future, will there be you, Mr. Evans?"
What a terrifying existence is for high-level magicians, just like Mr. Astar, they will be forced to this extent?
"Probably, probably, hopefully." Lucian looked at them amusedly.
Annick subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Mr. Evans, can I switch to the path of a knight at my current age and body......"
Leilia and Heidi have similar expressions.
Looking at Annick's thin body, Lucian shook his head and said humorously: "You should continue the promising profession of magician, the path of a magician is lonely, lonely and hard, uh, no, it is full of glory, wealth and worship."
The obviously joking words attracted the three teenagers to nod in agreement: "Yes, we have heard that the official magicians are powerful and wealthy, and they are sought after by ordinary people in kingdoms such as Holm, and they are one of the best choices for marriage......"
"Hehe, okay, let's go to the study hall, it's almost ten o'clock." Lucian understood that the status of magicians in this world was very good, as long as there was no suppression by the church. Because they directly grasp the extraordinary power of horror.
…………
In the dark and quiet night, two sharp boats glided down the canal and headed towards the pier.
When they reached the pier, the sharp boat did not stop and continued to sail until a three-masted sailboat stood out in the dark.
Tom said solemnly to Lucian: "Mr. Evans, you may suffer a little on this journey. Because of the previous betrayal, several of our routes to break through the blockade have been discovered, and now we can only start a backup plan."
"What backup plan, how did the church block it?" Lucian naturally wanted to know in detail.
Tom explained briefly: "The church uses precious magical airships of only a few dozen to patrol mid-air in turn to spot unknown ships; The sea surface has long been swept and inspected by fleets belonging to the Knights of the Helm; The seabed is partially responsible for the Kotao Fishmen who have changed their faith. Originally, we bought a few fish-man patrol captains to break through the blockade with the ability of magic sailboats to dive briefly, but after Brown's betrayal, those fish-man partners have been burned at the stake."
"The three-dimensional blockade of sea, land and air...... Fortunately, there is no radar ......" Lucian subconsciously associated, "What now?"
Tom pointed to the sailboat: "This is a sailing ship of Viscount Wright's caravan, and he has a deep commercial cooperation with us, giving us the opportunity to hide you in the cabin. The environment there is harsh, they are all coolies and sailors, no knight or priest is willing to go down, as long as you are careful, you will not be detected. Of course, I will be with you in charge of providing you with water and food."
