Throne of Magical Arcana

On the Triumph Avenue of Luntat, when the lanterns first came on, the warm wind of Twilight came at night, still with a little coolness, so that the pedestrians could not help but tighten the neckline.

Downey pressed his black top hat and got off the bright yellow public transportation bus, wandering on the bright street like the day and walking towards the "Knowledge Bookstore" near the Triumph Square.

"Did this week's Arcane and Magic Herald come?" Downey asked the bearded boss.

The boss with dark yellow hair did not lift his eyelids and said: "No, no more."

"Really ..." Downey's tone was not surprised, as if he had sighed slightly as expected, and the full of sentimental sentiment filled out.

The boss raised his head and looked at him with a pair of owl-like eyes: "What's the pity? Since the popularization of magic live screens for home TVs, Ms. Heidi's artificial intelligence has made breakthrough progress. This positioning itself has Sooner or later the newspaper in question will suspend publication. "

In his weird pupil, there was a young boy, about sixteen or seven years old, at the age of Fenghua Zhengmao, but his blue eyes were a little tired, and his expression was slightly suppressed.

Downey smiled bitterly: "I grew up watching the Arcane and Magic Herald. It led me to the arcane path of pursuing the essence of the world. For me, it is a good memory, yes A life that will never be forgotten. "

The thorough popularization of magic radios and home TVs, and the preliminary civilianization of artificial intelligence have made citizens have more channels of information sources, and their dependence on newspapers has been greatly reduced. Especially since the basic knowledge of arcane is popularized now, many ordinary people have deeper The higher-end arcane theory is greatly reduced in interest, because it seems to have nothing to do with your life. Anyway, you can get a general understanding from mainstream newspapers, radios, and home TVs. "Arcane and Magic Guide" is a special introduction to arcane. And the magic newspaper is unnecessary, so the number of subscriptions has dropped significantly.

And magic apprentices and arcanists are not likely to buy it. They have more professional academic journals, "Allinge Impressions" that better suits their tastes, and World Reality Channel. So, three years ago, that is Starting in the 21st year of the Arcane calendar, such newspapers are often closed and closed. It is unexpected that today's turn has a great reputation. It also symbolizes the "Arcane and Magic Guide" during the golden age of the arcane field and the initial establishment of the magic society.

The owner of the bookstore pointed to the row of bookshelves: "If you want to learn basic arcane, there are many professional books here. If you want to understand the latest trends in arcane research, you can subscribe to" Allinge Impressions "or watch 'Real World' every day 'There is really no need to read "Arcane and Magic Guide" for TV's arcane popularization programs. "

Under the bright magic crystal lamp, the rows of deep black or dark blue spine glowed with a fascinating light, shaking Downey's dizziness and the forehead with blue muscles beating slightly: "No need, my own books have not yet grasp."

The reason why he came to the Triumph Square by public transportation is because the Arcane and Magic Herald was no longer available near the school some time ago, and there is also a "knowledge bookstore", but who knows, this is less than a month, "Arcane and Magic Herald" can no longer support.

The boss laughed and glanced down at the magic apprentice and trainee arcan badge on the chest of the dark black long dress of Downey, as well as a black-based coat of arms with seven petals in pale green: "You are the heart of nature" 'The fifth grader of the school? Right now, there are only sixty-one days left before the' Uniform Entrance Examination for High Schools of Magic '. What else should I buy "Arcane and Magic Guide" and review carefully is what you should do. "

As soon as he heard the "Uniform Entrance Examination for High Schools of Magic", Downey's facial muscles could not help but twitch, a somewhat dazed look, a little irritable, and a little depressed: "Today is a weekend, and there is an evening class at 8 o'clock ... … "

He subconsciously explained a sentence, then smiled self-deprecatingly, I told him what to do?

After more than 20 years of evolution, under the leadership of the Magic Council, the entire continent has formed a three-level school system such as general education of citizens—primary magic schools, various alchemy schools, and other professional schools—higher schools of magic.

The former is mainly open to children and adults in need of literacy education, and has five years of basic general education. Afterwards, after passing examinations including mental assessment and basic theory of arcane skills, graduates are promoted to primary magic schools, etc. Become a magic apprentice or a dedicated alchemist and other professionals.

The junior school of magic is also a five-year course. It completes the basic education of magic and arcane, trains qualified magic apprentices and trainee arcanists, and finally, selects talents through the "Uniform Entrance Examination for Higher Schools of Magic" to enter major magic schools .

In the unified entrance examination, those who have become official magicians will have a certain amount of extra points.

Downey just turned around, and heard the bookstore owner smile: "I see you have only three badges issued by the school, no other magic items, family conditions should not be good, or use dim sum for review."

Under such a school system, all kinds of magic items and potions that restore fatigue, keep a clear head, and enhance memory are favored by many students. A "wake necklace" or a "energy ring" must be worn on the body.

Although these accessories and potions cannot be used in the real unified entrance examination, they are of great help to the efficiency of usual learning, so no one will refuse unless they can't afford it at all.

Downey's face suddenly paled, and then turned red, embarrassed and annoyed, and turned to escape this embarrassing bookstore.

"I have a 'Sober Necklace' here, which can be rented to you for two months ..." The boss's emotionless voice passed into Downey's ears, making him pause.

Then he turned sharply and looked at the boss and said, "Why?"

There was excitement and suspicion in his tone, and the afterglow of his eyes fell on the bookshelf, looking at the book "Identification of various fraudulent magic contracts"-by Lucien Evans, he speculated in his heart, Do you have to pay for your soul?

The boss laughed and said: "I am also a loyal reader of Arcane and Magic Herald, otherwise it is impossible to buy at the end, so, seeing you, I am like seeing myself in the past ... how, afraid of me having another Purpose? You can take the contract to the city hall ’s audit department for identification. "

"Me, do I have to pay anything?" Downey asked a little more relaxed.

The boss thought for a while: "The deposit of ten copper coins will come to work for me for two months after the unified entrance examination is completed."

Downey heard this condition and nodded in a hurry: "Okay! No problem! Sir, when will the contract be signed?"

A "Sober Necklace" is worth about two to five queen gold coins, and Downey is naturally excited to be able to rent one at such a cheap price.

"The necklace is not on me. Come here at this time tomorrow." The boss nodded gently.

After Donny thanked him, he saw that it was not early, so he left the bookstore and walked to the public transportation station platform. All of them were full of this "exploration" and the "Universal School of Magic" that will come in sixty-one days. examination".

While waiting for the public transport to arrive, Downey's eyes turned to Triumph Square, where a brass-colored statue stood, wearing a double-breasted tuxedo, a top hat, a cane in his left hand, and a pocket watch in his right hand.

"... Lord Evans ..." Downey muttered to himself, with admiration in his tone and a little "hate".

"Thirty-sixth public transport bus, the terminal" land of thousands of lakes ... "A mechanically cold female voice sounded, and a dark red public transport bus stopped in front of Downey.

Downey was sober from his thoughts, quickly walked into the traffic car, and placed his school badge on the induction zone.

"Rentart Seventh School of Magic, eight free rides remaining ..." The mechanical voice sounded again, without any human emotion.

"Heart of Nature" is a magic school co-organized by the Magic Council, the Elven Court, and the Holm Empire, and is the seventh elementary magic school in Luntat.

"It's convenient to have artificial intelligence ..." Downey thought subconsciously. "Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see the combination of artificial intelligence and alchemy life that Ms. Heidi said ..."

Thinking all the way, Downey returned to the school outside the city, just in time for the evening class.

"Today, I will introduce to you the contents of the special theory of relativity." Teacher Slinton with a long white beard said hoarsely on his voice. "This is the deep explanation of space and time by His Excellency. At your current level, It ’s impossible to understand, just a few key knowledge points. ”

The muscles in Downey's face twitched again, and he looked back at the words "61 days left for the Uniform Entrance Examination for Higher Magic School" written on the back of the classroom, and his expression began to become focused.

After finishing the evening class, Danny, who heard dizziness, returned to his bedroom, lit a small magic crystal lamp, and was ready to practice.

"" The Evans Syllabus "," Lucien's Secret "," Higher Magic School Uniform Entrance Examination Test Questions Detailed-Lucien Evans "..." Downey reads the questions of these test set word by word , More and more I felt a headache, "Evens, Lucien, Lucien, Evans ..."

Although he knew that these were all made by the name of His Excellency Tovans, he still gritted his teeth at the two words that appeared frequently.

After calming down, he opened one of them and decided to review and consolidate "History of Arcane and Magic" first.

"... In what year did Lord Lucien Evans propose matrix mechanics, and what significance does it have?"

"... How many times have Lord Evans received the highest honors such as the Arcane Award and the Holm Crown Award?"

...

"Lucien, Evans, Evans, Lucien ..." Downey rubbed his forehead and closed the book anxiously, opening another set of exercises.

"... please completely write down the complete periodic table proposed by His Excellency."

"... What is Lucien's constant and what equations are related to it?"

Slap, Downey slammed the book, picked up the glass, took a sip, calmed down, and decided to change it.

"... What field of equations is the Evans field equation? What do you know about it?"

"... Can the Lucien equation describe all microscopic particles?"

what!

A scream of grief, pain and resentment came out of Downey's mouth, spreading far and far in the night, and similar sounds echoed in other bedrooms.
