Mage Adam Chapter 13: A First Look at Magic
The duke himself was an apprentice from Moldo Academy. Because he failed to become a full-fledged mage, he simply gave up the path of mage and came to this island to become a nobleman. Among his heirs, a real mage can come out for him to realize his dream.
Because of his college experience, he especially understands the importance of qualifications in the apprenticeship stage. Don't look at the eyes of the official mages who think that aptitude is useless, knowledge is the most useful, it's just that their level has improved, and the angle of looking at the problem has also changed.
After the dinner, Duke Alfred told William to tell William the people highlighted by the mages one by one, and told him that befriending these people will greatly benefit your apprenticeship. Great help.
The people in the Northland were not in a hurry to rest. They excitedly gathered together to study the ring, and their strong curiosity made them impatient to try it out.
"But we haven't mastered the runes yet. Can we activate spells?" Krystal said with excitement and hesitation, with small stars shining in his eyes.
Adam has an unparalleled interest in this ring. He took the initiative to say: "It must be possible. This ring is equivalent to a crossbow with arrows already installed. We don't need to know the working principle of this crossbow. Just pull the trigger. I'm guessing the trigger pull is mental."
Sam Aiden blushed and was happy that he got such a treasure, but he still knew what was going on, and he didn't get carried away, and said actively: "Miss Ophelia, please try it out."
Ophelia shook her head and motioned for Sam to experiment on her own. At this time, Adam asked again, "Can you let me experiment?"
Probably because today that idiot named Tom mocked the Northland group, Sam had a slight sense of belonging to his identity as a Northlander. He didn't reject Adam, and generously handed him the ring, saying: : "Of course."
This ring is made of gold. Although the craftsmanship is exquisite, it is not abnormal. It is set with a red gemstone, which is emitting a very weak light under the night.
If William Alfred is not lying, there should be a set of spell runes in this ring. Adam is so active, one is to spy on the structure of the spell and rune, and the other is to ask for proof of one thing— -Whether the spell is activated by psychic power or by another energy.
"Detected the existence of No. 2 special energy fluctuations."
Adam realized clearly in his heart that mental power only exists as a transmission channel. The special energy No. 2 that can activate spells is a higher-level energy generated by the interaction between mental power and unknown external media.
"That is to say, the psychic solidification rune is equivalent to meditation, the purpose is to strengthen the psychic force until it is free enough to contact the medium and carry the higher energies that come with it."
The word meditation is derived from the broken information Adam obtained after eliminating the virus. Most of this information was classified as junk data by Adam, and he did not expect it to serve as a reference at this time.
Ophelia and the others didn't know that Adam had come to a preliminary conclusion in a short period of time. They only saw Adam rubbing the ruby with his fingers and thought he was thinking about the way to activate the magic item.
After the second question was preliminarily demonstrated, Adam tried to input spiritual power into the gemstone, wanting to spy on the rune arrangement of this zero-level spell called "Fireball".
However, he did not succeed. When the spiritual power entered the gem, an amazing high temperature appeared in front of Adam, and everyone was terrified. They felt a strong burning sensation. At this moment, they even thought that they were in the volcanic lava.
Adam hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to the sky. A second later, an orange high-temperature fireball the size of a basketball rushed into the sky, shot more than 500 meters away, and then exploded.
"The temperature is about 1,000 degrees Celsius, and it has reached the magma level."
The ruby dimmed after the fireball technique was activated. Everyone looked at the ring in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that the high-temperature fireball was actually emitted from this small ring. What's even more terrifying is that this is only the lowest level. The magic item, which is inscribed is only the zero-level fireball.
"Is this the power of magic, the power of mages? It's amazing!" This is the meaning of everyone's surprise. This is the first time they have seen magic. Flying is a dream to achieve, and fireball is intuitive. strength.
"It's no wonder that mages don't care about knights. This is just the lowest level of spells. I'm afraid knights can't resist them. If they are stronger and more numerous, great knights..." Mike Garth Te murmured to himself and stopped here, after all, there was a big knight around him.
Ophelia nodded and admitted without shyness: "It is impossible to resist, if you are hit, you will surely die."
Sam Aiden looked at the dim ruby with distress. He was afraid that this magic item was a one-time use. If it was, it would be too wasteful to use it in this kind of experiment.
"The spell rune group has been encrypted to a certain extent, and cannot be spied on without effective means." Adam took off the ring with some regret and returned it to Sam while thinking about his own business. Explained: "This ring is not a one-time item, but it should have a cooling and charging time. I speculate that mental power can speed up this process to a certain extent."
Not to mention Sam, who was so relieved and fond of playing with the ring, and the people who were envious of him, Adam turned back to the room by himself and started a new round of thinking.
"The power of fire lies in its temperature. The role of the magic rune in the ring should be to increase the temperature, but the oxygen content in the air has not changed drastically, so what is the burning medium?"
Adam feels that he has grasped the key to the problem. After analyzing the known data, the reason finally points to the special energy No. 2. The mastery of this mysterious energy may be the reason why the mage can do all kinds of incredible things. .
"The sample is too small."
Adam saved the problem and stopped thinking about it. Without enough data to support it, the analysis and judgment are just conjectures and have no real effect. Now the only thing Adam can do is to continue to optimize the spiritual power solidification rune to make it It can maximize mental strength.
The progress of this task is not bad. With the support of powerful computing power, Adam is experimenting with new structures every second. Although the currently tried forms are not stable, he believes that after a period of time, he will definitely A stable form that matches the output power of mental power can be found.
None of the apprentices in the Northland slept. After seeing magic, their already high interest was even more intense, and they used every available time to practice. Fortunately, spiritual practice could replace sleep, otherwise the next day How many people can maintain the state in the morning or two.
During breakfast, the Northland apprentices received a completely different attitude from last night. Most of them except Tom expressed goodwill, and William Alfred came to chat more ardently. The main targets were Adam and the three, but unfortunately, apart from Crystal's flattering, Adam and Ophelia responded indifferently.
"We are leaving the southern seaport today for the Mage Continent. If there is no accident, unless we become a full-fledged Mage, it will be difficult to have a chance to return to our hometown again." William ignored their attitude and said After this news, he politely said goodbye and left. He also needed to go to the other two teams to inform them of the news.
"Mr. William is really a person of grace." Crystal had a tendency to be nympho.
Afterwards, everyone came to the southern seaport. The ships from the Mage Continent had a separate dock to dock. Everyone along the way cast a respectful look at them, which made some apprentices who had suddenly changed their identities feel proud again.
What I could see in the sky last night was not real. Now, after getting close to it, Adam found that these ships were not sailing on primitive power. The shape of the ships from Moldo College was close to the level of science fiction. The alloy that constructed the hull was not Adam. Any known ~IndoMTL.com~ Obviously, the magic technology based on the extraordinary knowledge system has a development that is no less than or even beyond the earth.
Under the leadership of the mage, they boarded the magic ship called the Moldo Academy. Mage Black and the others did not apprentice at Doli, and went straight into the cabin.
After sending off the mages respectfully, the captain said: "We will arrive at the harbor where the mages mainland and Moldo College are located within three months. During this period, you can move freely on the ship. But the innermost part of the first floor The area is the residence of the Master, and I advise you not to disturb them there, otherwise you will see the wrath of the Master."
"Also, don't fall into the sea, the monsters in the sea will not be polite to you, and the Moldo Academy will not stop for anyone."
"You can find a place to stay at will. The journey is not fun. If you feel boring, there are some entertainment facilities on board for you to use for free. If you have other needs, you can tell the sailors, but there is no guarantee that they will be met."
After the captain left, several sailors stepped forward to take over the guidance task. From their eyes, they could see the deep envy of the apprentices. Adam found that the captain was a strong man at the pinnacle of the Great Knight, stronger than Earl Johnson, and the sailors were all knights.
Sure enough, knighthood is not a rare profession, and Adam even guessed that ordinary people living in the Mage Continent might be all knights.
Everyone excitedly walked towards the cabin, and each chose a room. Except for the apprentice gate in the south, which was very natural, the apprentices in the rest of the area were a little cautious, for fear of touching something or breaking something. After all For most people, this is their first exposure to magic technology.
With a low whistle, the Moldo Academy set sail.
