Throne of Magical Arcana

"Screaming like seeing a ghost." With a low, fluttering voice outside the door, the door squeaked open, and a teenager with messy hair came in. His eyelids were swollen, and his blue eyes were bloodshot, as if It has been a long time since I took a good rest.

Behind him, a pale and fuzzy figure pressed tightly against him, his feet away from the ground, wafting forward, as it appeared, the entire bedroom suddenly became cold, seeming to return to the early spring from the evening of twilight In the early morning, people shuddered.

Downey shuddered and hurriedly put on the long dress she took off next to her: "Sami, I see the ghost behind you every day, and I'm still afraid of ghosts? Besides, what evil spirits are there? The teacher must have smiled and caught it. "

This is the disadvantage of the magic school. There is no room for ghost legends. Unlike general schools, there are often similar stories. For example, when a girl was hanged in a laboratory, so when doing experiments alone at night, It is often encountered that the experimental materials are inexplicably lost, or the urgently needed materials that were originally placed far away will suddenly appear at hand.

Of course, there are also legends in the magic school. For example, it is rumored that the gloomy old mage who is in charge of the dissection room will often conduct living research, so he will live there all year round and will not be so irritable to refuse anyone to approach his room.

Sami yawned: "So why are you so miserable? You are a good apprentice in our top 20."

The ghost behind him suddenly stretched like rubber bands, grabbed the water cup and the kettle, poured a full cup and fed it to Sami's mouth.

"No matter how good the apprentice is, in the face of so many formulas, equations, concepts, principles, magic runes, and spell models, it will feel that the head is about to explode, even if it is just the simplest and easiest to learn." Downey rubbed his forehead. , Secretly whispered in my heart, especially because so many theories, formulas, equations, constants and models are prefixed by Lucien or Evans, how can it not be annoying to want to cross into the past and kill the lord, avoid These tormenting things appeared.

Thinking of this, Downey sighed: "And I don't have a 'wake necklace' nor a 'energy ring', unlike you, born with a spirit behind it, the necromantic spells are mastered very well and have been taken by Hyde Le Magic Institute is scheduled, for me, everything can only rely on myself, and do not allow failure, long-term, always tired and irritable. "

He knew quite well his mental state.

Sami bowed his head and drank, yawning again unimaginatively: "You have a good grasp of the psychoanalysis in the field of illusion, and this kind of repressed vent is just fine."

Then he fell lazily on his bed, his eyes closed, and said vaguely: "The spirit behind is very troublesome, it will absorb your energy, it will affect your state, will ... will make the girl dare not approach you If it were during the reign of Truth, I would be directly tied to the torture frame ... If it were n’t for my special natural soul and special place of birth, the spirit behind it would be difficult to get rid of without hurting myself, I ... … "

Talking, he fell asleep, breathing lightly, if there was nothing, and the spirit behind him lay under him and hugged him tightly.

Downey glanced at his roommate and sighed softly. What you dislike, I can't envy you anyway. Anyway, if you become a formal wizard, those female magicians will not be afraid of the spirit behind them.

He heard Samiti mentioned that he was originally a twin, but because of the damage to his mother's body near the gap of the Necromancer, one of the babies was dead when he was finally born.

Settling down, Downey regained his composure, set aside the review of "Introduction to Arcane Basics" and "History of Arcane and Magic", and focused on practicing the analysis of spell models.

Tomorrow, I should also have a "wake necklace"!

…………

As the hard and weird mantra sounded and a bit of crystal-clear powder slipped off, a ray of cold, tangled radioactive rays struck out, and a thick layer of hoarfrost froze on the target, just at the throat.

Downey looked at his achievements with satisfaction, and thanked His Excellency quietly in his heart. Since he initially explored the essence of magic, the functions of many incantations have been parsed out, so they have been simplified a lot, otherwise he may not be so Quickly hit a "frost ray".

"Okay, today's spell practice is over." The teacher in charge of actual combat magic clapped his hands and signaled the end of today's lesson.

Downey hurriedly stopped, collected the casting materials, and greeted Sami, who seemed to be unable to sleep for a while, and hurried to the platform outside the school.

Today is Sunday and no class in the afternoon.

Nearly forty minutes later, the 36 public transport bus arrived at Triumph Avenue, Downey quickly walked into the "knowledge bookstore."

"Good afternoon, sir." Downey greeted him, and then a little shyly didn't know what to say.

The boss with a pair of owl-like eyes and a deep yellow beard with a smile on his face laughed: "Good afternoon, I arrived on time, I am ready for the sober necklace and contract."

As he said, he took out a pale gold necklace. On top of the necklace were inlaid five gravel-sized pale blue gemstones, which exuded a touch of coolness, as if there was a clear spring inside, and each other's position It happens to constitute a mutated pentagram.

"It's an official magic item level 'Sober Necklace' ..." Although he hasn't learned appraisal yet, Downey also took a basic alchemy appraisal class in school, so the obvious fluctuation characteristics made him recognize this at a glance. The true grade of the necklace, the heart became excited and puzzled, and Lord Evans once said that the gift for no reason has a conspiracy in most cases, whether the conspiracy is good or bad.

The boss touched his beard and smiled, "It's just rented to you, not given to you."

"Actually, I am a very utilitarian person. I do good things just to get paid back. Although I rent it to you cheaply in the future, after you become a formal magician in the future, if I have something to ask you for help, within your ability, you will Do n’t agree? I am equivalent to a long-term investment that does not harm my own interests at all. "

With the improvement of infrastructure such as roads and railroad tracks, and the popularization of similar things driven by magic cars, magic steam trains, steam giant ships, aircrafts, and small fission devices, the exchange of goods around the place is becoming more convenient, and the banking industry is also booming. Many innovations.

Hearing this answer from the boss, Downey was relieved. Although he was still a bit puzzled, he seemed to be quite optimistic about himself, but he did n’t care too much about it. The investment was originally based on his vision and connections, so he quickly picked up The contract next to it looked carefully.

According to the key points of the contract in the magic school, Downey reviewed them one by one, and this contract was very simple, with no differences at all, so Downey quickly came to a conclusion, grabbed his quill, and signed his own. real name.

A light flame came out, burning the contract quickly, but at the same time, two copies were printed.

"The contract is established, take this necklace." The boss handed the necklace to Downey.

After taking control of the necklace according to standard procedures, Downey put it directly on his neck, and suddenly felt a coolness flowing all over his body. The restlessness and depression for many days were all swept away, unprecedented refreshing and comfortable.

"Donny." The boss suddenly said, "Which magic academy are you going to apply for in the" Universal Entrance Examination for High Schools of Magic "? Holt? Tower? Heidler? Or other?"

At present, there are nine higher magic schools in the entire Magic Council. Among them, Holt College is longer in the fields of microscopy and element, Gaota College is longer in the field of macros, such as astrology and cosmology, and Heidler College is longer in the fields of necrosis, genetics, medical treatment However, different colleges need to apply for different content. Therefore, more than one month before the "uniform entrance examination", students will choose the college they want to apply for, which is convenient for the final exam arrangement.

Downey subconsciously will answer Holt College, because this is the first higher school in the parliament. The arcanist he teaches is powerful and knowledgeable, and he is longer than the most wonderful microscopic field that involves the world and the essence of magic. it?

But when he looked at the boss's owl-like eyes, he suddenly thought of the painful feelings of last night. Those equations and formulas that are complicated to make people want to die if they are roughly understood, and they are so dizzy that they want to kill. According to the mathematical model, the "curses" with the prefix of Lucien or Evans made him irritable and hatred from the heart.

Thinking of going to the "Evens field" more deeply in the future, he felt that his life was dark and he could not see a little sunshine.

"I, I haven't made up my mind yet. I originally wanted to apply for Holt College, but the others seemed to be good. I was good at every course." Downey answered vaguely.

The boss laughed and sighed again: "I am actually a magician and entered the world of magic under the influence of Arcane and Magic Herald."

"I used to ambitiously want to make huge and proud achievements in the microscopic field. After all, Lord Evans just established a framework, and there are many details and foundations that are not thoroughly studied. Unfortunately, wait for me to study and study in depth It was later discovered that in this field, only those really talented arcanists can move forward. People like me can only learn mediocrely, and it is difficult to even follow. "

"What's even more terrible is that in order to concentrate on theoretical research, I completely neglected the application of magic, so that my strength was stagnant, and I withdrew from the team to the top of the pyramid early. I could only open such a bookstore to pass the time. "

Donny was startled. "Sir, why not change the direction of research?"

"I'm trying to develop towards the undead, but the foundation is not strong and the thinking is fixed. Everything is very difficult." The boss didn't say anything more and signaled that Downey could leave.

Downey walked on the street in a muddled manner, his head full of the boss ’s words and his previous thoughts, which gradually became a thought. I should not be enveloped by the halo of Lord Evans, and not be entangled by the complicated formulas and equations. All your life, don't talk about Lucien or Evans in your mouth or even dreams every day ...

Then, in what areas are there no shadows for Lord Evans?
