Throne of Magical Arcana

Such a "simple" and "sincere" Lucien made Victor can't help it anymore, he laughed, and tears came out, and the rest no matter whether it was Rhein, Lot, Phyllis, etc. He was so violent that he couldn't keep his demeanor. Even the old gentleman of Xavier shook his head and smiled, but students like Anne and Colin who hadn't followed Victor to study music had laughter with a bitter bitterness and envy.

Lucien looked at everyone's reactions in a daze, probably knowing that the lack of common sense had made a joke, but seeing that they had no strangeness and doubts, it should not be too serious, so he asked out loudly, "Mr. Victor?"

Victor coughed a few times, calmed his smile, and looked at Lucien seriously: "I mean, Lucien, would you like to learn music with me? Although you are older, but this way of music, It ’s more about talent, and even if your talent is average, you can become a qualified musician after studying with me for a few years. You do n’t have to worry about your future life. The musicians that Aalto is out of, but the nobles in other countries like to invite the most. "

Then he paused and added humorously: "Of course, tuition is free."

This made Lott, Rhein and others chuckled again.

For Victor, his students are divided into three types, one is to learn words, 5 silver nars per month, if he is fancy and allowed, he can become a second student and follow him to learn music Every month, 10 silver narrs, only when they show music, show outstanding talents or talents, can they become his third student, can follow him to perform, use his relationship and reputation as a true disciple.

Victor has only one such disciple, and he has become an outstanding musician.

Lott, Phyllis, and Herodotus belong to the second category. If Lucien agrees, it is also the second category, except that the tuition fee of 10 silver narrs per month is waived.

Although Victor Professor students, there are about 7 Quintals a year, which is equivalent to the best kind of non-businessmen in the civilian class, that is, the annual income of a qualified musician, such as Anne ’s father, the secretary of the Alto City Court The official ’s salary for a year is only 15 quintals, but most of Victor ’s income comes from performances invited by nobles and other national music associations. Normally, 100 quintals a year, and this is the upper class. Here, people who do not have their own manor and do not know how to do business can achieve a higher standard.

So even if Victor pushed away all the invitations in the last year and couldn't make ends meet, there was no problem in waiving Lucien's tuition.

Lucian didn't expect Victor's gratitude. He turned out to be a student of music. He was hesitant for a while, but soon, Lucien thought of the content in the witch's notes, and he wanted to repay Uncle Joel. The thoughts of a family, secretly thinking:

"I don't know where it is yet a good place to learn magic. For a long time, I am afraid to continue to live in Aalto. After all, this is the largest and most prosperous in the west, the closest to the dark mountains, and the most privately-owned people. City, looking for magic materials and inquiring news, it is much more convenient here. In this case, it is a good choice to cover up the identity of the magician as a music student or musician and earn the money needed. This is a good choice in Aalto. Very respected profession. "

Because of his intention to start studying magic in Aalto, Lucien did not want to make money with various inventions and creation materials in the library, because it is easy to attract the attention of the church, and find a place and country where you can learn magic safely. It's not too late to do so.

The thoughts in my heart were quickly sorted out, and Lucian showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, Mr. Victor, I hope you can teach me beautiful and elegant music."

Victor nodded in satisfaction: "Lucien, your simplicity, hard work, earnestness and cleverness, I have rarely seen, I hope you will have some achievements on the music road in the future."

After this sentence was finished, even if Lucien was officially allowed to follow him to learn music, Anne, Colin and others suddenly became a little lost and unhappy.

"I'm really not simple." Lucien couldn't help refuting in his heart. Just now there was no common sense. At the same time, he felt that Colin, Renee and others looked at themselves with a complicated look.

Victor shouted Ace in, returned Lucien's five silvers to him, then invited Rhein and Xavier to the study, thanked them in private, and let Lott, Phyllis, and Herodotus stay Come down to practice in the piano room, and so on to continue to transform the harpsichord.

Lucien had no musical foundation, and after borrowing the "Universal Dictionary", he left the hall and was ready to go home.

"Hello, Lucien." The brown-haired, slim and delicate Renee suddenly caught up from behind, showing a sunny smile. "I'm Renee, Renee? Weitz, you really learn words and language Very talented. "

Lucien was busy going back to the dictionary to read the witch's notes thoroughly. How can you talk to Renee: "Hello, Renee, I'm leaving late today. I still have an emergency. I'll talk to you again someday, sorry, I'm in a hurry. "

"It's not a coincidence, you are busy with you, Lucien, bye." Renee smiled for a while, but soon recovered, full of understanding and thoughtfulness.

At this time, Anne and the noble male student SMS passed by Lucien, humming lightly, and then without looking at the two, keeping an elegant pace and walking outside the gate.

Behind them and Lucien, Renee's smile froze, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to establish a normal personal friendship with Lucien, which caused Anne to be dissatisfied. These days of deliberate approach and pleasing were completely wasted.

Colin and David glanced at Renee with a sneering look, and then looked deeply at Lucien's back and shook their heads. How could they not have such good luck.

…………

When I returned to my cabin in Adjean, it was just over five o'clock in the afternoon. Alto, who was close to the hot summer, was still bright. Lucian found an excuse to study hard and told Aunt Elisa not to go to her house to eat at night, and then herself After baking a loaf of black bread to hunger, as for the exemption of the tuition fee and the return of all eight silver narrs to Aunt Elisa, she told them the family tomorrow.

At this time, for Lucien, there is nothing more important than reading witch notes and learning magic!

After eating black bread, Lucien locked the repaired wooden door, put out paper and quill pens, and made a look of learning. Then he opened the Soul Library and quickly included the dictionary into it.

After doing this, Lucien opened the witch's magical notes and read it carefully against the dictionary.

With the experience and accumulation of the previous days, by about 10 o'clock in the evening, Lucien had read all the contents of the magic note except the last few pages, and he was relieved in his heart:

"It seems that the ancient sylvanas writing of the witch is not well learned, so the magic notes are very detailed. Some even copy the notes of the family ancestors. I can completely learn magic according to her records, but her magic notes. It only ends with how to become a formal magician, and later I need to find another way, or learn the ancient Hierfannas text from the reverse of the magic notes, and decipher the "Book of Astrology and Elements."

Regardless of how he became a formal magician, Lucien can now begin to learn magic.

According to the records of witches, in the ancient magic empire, magic was recognized as a mysterious change of the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water under the influence of spiritual power. Later, light, darkness, and soul were added, and they were able to escape from hell. , Abyss or other alien space to summon monsters, so magic is divided into eight factions: elemental system, astral system, necrotic system, illusion system, summoning system, force field system, change system, alchemy system, and "Astrology and Elements The Book of Books is based on the element system and the astral system, and contains a small amount of magic books of other factions.

Before becoming a formal magician, you cannot learn a ring of magic, you can only learn informal magic, called a magic apprentice.

The magic structure of informal magic is very simple. In Lucien's opinion, it is just a clear rune composed of standard geometric patterns of junior high school level. It is simpler than the six-pointed star. Then, by chanting its pronunciation and inspiring the corresponding magic material with spiritual power Runes can be cast.

According to the standard of mental power, that is, from full energy to dryness, the number of informal magic that can be used at one time divides the magic apprentices into three levels, apprenticeship, formal, and advanced, which are five, ten, and twenty, respectively.

After tempering mental power and soul to a certain limit through meditative thoughts, you can cooperate with the potion to construct a model of the imprint of a spell in your soul.

One that can be successfully constructed is a formal magician, and the casting of this spell will not require the cooperation of spells, casting materials, and gestures, only depending on whether the mental power is exhausted and whether it is still in the last magic buffer period.

After reading this, Lucien suppressed the eagerness to try, and continued to read the last few pages, intending to read it in full.

"I met another magician today, and actually met other magicians in Aalto! He looks a lot different from the reclusive magicians, and it's weird."

After reading a page, Lucian suddenly interpreted this important content. Aalto really has other magicians!

Suddenly, Lucien was energized and continued to interpret:

"A strange red-eyed mouse was found in the sewer, with a magical smell, I don't know where it came from, I didn't find it after a long search."

"After experiments, this red-eyed mouse reproduced extremely quickly, the blood was toxic, slightly hallucinating and paralyzing."

"With the Lapland blood vine, the effect is unexpectedly good, and the magic trap I envisioned can finally be arranged."

"Who developed them?"

Seeing this, Lucian couldn't help but glance at the ground. If red-eyed mice are not magical creatures cultivated by witches, who are they, and are there other dangers in the sewers?

So Lucian quickly read:

"Meet the magician again. His views on magic are so different. He has a profound knowledge and a fascinating charm."

"However, he actually said that ancient magic, in addition to many powerful and weird spells can be used and referenced, the other is completely outdated, is ignorant, instinctive exploration, how is it possible ?!"

"He showed me a magic book he had collected. It was not thick. It was a book called a periodical. This magic book was called" Arcane ". According to his explanation," Ao "stands for the origin of the world and Knowledge of the law of operation, arcane means the essence and principle of magic, which is very interesting. "

"This" Arcane "is the first issue released more than three hundred years ago. On the first page there is an article by a great arcanist, which was a speech of a magic conference for him."

"From his expression, he has great respect for the great arcanist, even to the point of worship."

"I read this article carefully. There is a feeling of trembling in my body. I don't even know how to get home. The brain is messed up. I want to record it. Why have I never thought about this?"

These lines of text are the same as most of the text on the last page. The letters are large and small, fluctuating, appearing messy and trembling. It seems that their owner is in a very excited mood. Lucian interpreted it doubtfully and wanted to see Look at the article that made the witch unable to calm down for so long:

"Gentlemen and ladies, many years ago, our respected ancestors of mankind learned from the dragons, from elves, from giants, from demons, demons and various magical creatures, and then analyzed them. The body structure and blood traits merged their blood veins step by step, transformed their bodies, invented many meditation ideas to enhance mental strength, and created various kinds of magic by referring to the magic pattern structures inside and outside their bodies. Gained powerful power, drove the demon back to the abyss, kicked the devil back to hell, and let the dragons, elves, and giants retreat to the remote mountains, wilderness, and alien space, or they surrendered to us. "

"The glorious victory made the ancient legendary magicians pursue the power more persistently, to the abyss, to hell, to the expedition of various degrees of space, until the god of truth became stronger, and the three magic empire was destroyed in just a few hundred years. The glory of the past has become bitter, dazed, and hopeless today. "

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, it's time to be quiet, don't be fooled by power, it's time to calm down and think about some issues, we need to figure out:"

"What is the essence of magic?"

"Why do creatures have spiritual power?"

"What is the essence of spiritual power?"

"In what form does it exist?"

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

"What is the essence of the soul?"

"Is soul and consciousness different? If different, in what form does consciousness exist?"

"Do we need 'tools' to explain and help build magic models?"

"God does not exist. If it exists, what is his essence and form of existence? What is the form of existence of the vampire ancestor Aetna? Why can't he die?"

"Why is there a sun and a silver moon in this world, why do they rise and fall every day, what force keeps them running like this? Things that seem normal in the physical world, if we ask more why, we will find out We still do n’t understand the truth, are these truths, laws and knowledge related to magic, can they be combined with magic, can they help us explore the essence of the magic world? "

"Your dear friend, Douglas."
