Mage Adam Chapter 8: Runes

Ophelia is also very interested. Although she has excellent talent and is very efficient when she uses her spiritual power to guide her blood qi cultivation, it is the first time she has come into contact with the spiritual power curing rune, which simply acts on the spiritual power. method.

Mage Black once again drew the psychic solidification rune, and then said: "The rune is the language of magic, and it is one of the foundations for the mage to cast spells. It does not have a fixed writing pattern. How do mage understand what they have mastered? Knowledge, what kind of runes will be formed."

Mage Black said that he paused here, probably because he was in a good mood, and then he continued: "Learn the rune combinations created by other mages, and you can use his spells to inscribe the self-comprehension runes in your soul. , it will form its own magic."

Adam expressed his gratitude to Mage Black. In this case, it is like saying that every spell is a kind of program. The mages are both the developers and users of the program. The difference is that the developers have the source code, and the users do not.

At this point, Mage Black asked her, "Then Miss Ophelia, do you have any questions?"

Ophelia was dazzled, immersed in the magic of wizards and spells that far surpassed that of knights. Her mind was full of the idea of ​​becoming a wizard. When she heard the question of Black Mage, she blurted out: "How can To be a real mage?"

"The path of a mage is not single, but it is essentially a process of detachment from the soul and life. Find your own path, learn enough knowledge to sublimate yourself and master them completely, and then engrave them in your soul, you can become a mage The road." Mage Black said this question vaguely, because this proposition is too grand, and if you explain it in detail, let's not say whether Ophelia can understand it, it will take a long time. Of course, the most important thing is The facilitator's responsibility is not enough to offset the value of this answer.

"Besides, these two questions actually have something in common. If they are smart enough, they will be enough to sort out a clue." Looking at the still ignorant Ophelia and the thoughtful Adam, Master Black thought to himself.

"You can go to rest, tomorrow's aptitude test, if you want, you can come and take a look, maybe some of your companions will be born, if you don't want to follow you, but for most mages, to pursue the truth You shouldn't be alone on the road, because a person's wisdom has limitations after all." Master Black left the main hall at the invitation of Earl Johnson.

Ophelia and Adam were speechless and went back to rest.

Adam stayed awake all night, sat on the bed and carefully recalled what he saw tonight and every word that Black Mage said, and finally focused his attention completely on the simple mental power solidification rune.

If this rune is compared to a simple program, and Adam's mental power is compared to data, then it is obvious that this program is not enough to carry too much data, that is to say, if Adam wants to continue to improve, he must first What is done is to optimize the program.

"Establish missions and develop larger-capacity rune structures."

The spiral runes displayed by Master Black are two twisted lines that look a bit like an hourglass, but in the final analysis it is a two-dimensional plane structure, which has the concept of graphics but not the concept of volume. On the rune of the structure, the mental power is transformed into lines to outline the figure, and then the mental power that has been solidified into a graphic remains in the mind. Because the mental power is partially solidified, it makes room for the increase of mental power.

Adam analyzed silently, and at the same time sketched the runes at a speed of one per minute. After one night, nearly 500 runes were formed and kept in his mind. However, Adam found that it was of no use. The total amount of power is simply regarded as one hundred, so each rune can hold even less than 0.1, which means that if Adam did not develop a more efficient rune structure, just based on the rune displayed by Master Black, Adam would be Using it to fill up the memory will not cure all the mental power.

But one night obviously cannot create a more efficient structure, but Adam is not in a hurry. He is in a good mood now, and he is not afraid of encountering problems. If he encounters problems, it means he is on the road. No.

In the morning, the hustle and bustle outside the city lord's mansion made Adam stop the practice of the mage. He walked out of the room. After one night, everyone in the city lord's mansion knew that this young man's identity was different at this moment. The servant stepped forward to guide him to the dining room immediately. Serve hearty and refined dishes.

When Adam was halfway through his meal, Ophelia walked in and sat beside him, "Did you have a mage practice last night?"

Adam nodded.

She looked very excited, no longer indifference and alienation: "I have drawn nearly a hundred runes, and I feel that my spiritual power has increased, and the practice of the mage can actually reduce fatigue. Full."

Adam didn't speak, but Ophelia kept her interest, and said mysteriously: "You know, after you left last night, I got another news from Master Black."

Adam still lowered his head and chewed. Ophelia saw that he did not respond and said angrily, "Don't you want to know?"

Adam didn't stop the knife and fork, swallowed the food in his mouth and said softly: "Now your heart rate is 60% faster, and your spirit is abnormally excited."

Ophelia's expression froze. Does this mean she's crazy?

Adam went on to say: "As for the news you said, if you want to tell me, of course I know, if you don't, it's useless for me to be curious."

Ophelia let out a suffocating breath. She also knew that she was a little excited, but she could not restrain her joy when she was away from the boring life, the days of leaving the icy northern land and her family were just around the corner.

And Adam, the companion who will enter the path of the mage with her, becomes even more pleasing to the eye, which is why she put down the pride of the noble and talked to Adam.

Actually speaking, Ophelia is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and she should be lively.

Ophelia decided not to care about Adam's attitude. She now desperately needs a person to share with: "Do you know why the venerable Master Mage will personally preside over a small qualification test? Do you know why the location was chosen at The barren north?"

Adam came to have some interest, and this is where his doubts lie. Although yesterday's Mage Black looked very kind, the indifference to mortals in his eyes could not be concealed from Adam. This is not arrogance and prejudice, but the source Indifference at the level of life.

Perhaps in the mind of Mage Black, he and mortals are not the same creature at all.

Then the question is, why would a high-ranking mage give up his identity to do such a thing?

When Ophelia saw that Adam finally raised her head, she was very satisfied. She lowered her voice seriously and said, "A year ago, the Moldo School of Mage started and belongs to the same family..." Ophelia suddenly stopped. He stayed, racked his brains for a moment, and then continued: "Uh, the college war with Monte Carlo Mage Academy. The two schools were originally evenly matched, but just two months ago, Monte Carlo Mage Academy suddenly broke out. In the end, Moldo Mage Academy was defeated and lost most of its apprentices. I heard that even the sphere of influence has been invaded by a large number, so Master Black will personally choose the apprentices."

Adam calmed down after being a little shocked. There are still battles between ordinary people. How can the mages who have mastered extraordinary power all love each other and help each other. "Is it just a war between apprentices?"

Ophelia said: "No, of course it's not just the war between the apprentices, even the official mages have lost a few, but these are too far away from you and me, what I want to say is good news. ....."

I don't know when I walked down from the second floor, and Master Black took over the conversation and said, "Due to the death of a large number of elite apprentice mages, the formal mages of Moldo mages academy will select disciples from a new batch of apprentice mages. Your chance, once selected, you will avoid many detours on the way to the official Mage~IndoMTL.com~ Adam and Ophelia stood up and saluted respectfully, and Mage Black waved his hand and said to them: "It seems that you are willing to cooperate with I went to pick apprentices together? Let's go together then. "

Ophelia summoned the courage to offer herself: "Dear Mage Black, I..."

Master Black did not look back, and said lightly: "Formal Masters are very cautious in choosing their disciples. You must at least cultivate in the academy and have a preliminary grasp of your own path before you can gain favor, and the paths of Masters are different. My path may not be right for you."

In the long life of the Master, I don't know how many geniuses I have seen in the apprenticeship stage. However, as he said yesterday, aptitude has never been the basis for determining whether or not to advance. Wisdom and knowledge are. A disciple is an investment, and no one wants to invest resources into an unprofitable business.

Ophelia lowered her head in disappointment. The importance of Mage Black made her think that she could succeed in apprenticeship, but it is clear that Mage is not that shallow.

Adam doesn't even mean to ask. Mage Black is right. If the teacher can't point the way, simply providing resources will not play a key role at all, and now Adam doesn't know what his path to a mage is. what.

It is still the main hall of yesterday, Ophelia recovered her mood before entering the main hall, and her demeanor has become noble and inviolable again. She can be friendly to Adam, who is now at the same level, but to others, she is still High above.

Outside the main hall, there are many boys and girls waiting anxiously, followed by family members who are also anxious and overwhelmed. This is probably a great opportunity for the poor to change their fate and the rich to step into a higher class. Everyone does it in advance. After countless preparations, I vowed to do my best.
