Chapter 13: First magic

The Duke himself is an apprentice from the Moldo Academy. Because he failed to become an official mage, he simply gave up the path of mage and came to this island to become a nobleman, and he began to do his best to train his descendants, hoping for his own heirs. A real mage can come out of him to realize his dream.
　　Because of his college experience, he especially understands the importance of qualifications in the apprenticeship stage. Regardless of the fact that the formal mages think that aptitude is useless, knowledge is the most useful. It's just that their level has improved, and the perspective of looking at problems has also changed.
After the banquet, Duke Alfred gave William a face-to-face, and informed William one by one of the few people mentioned by the wizards, and told him that friendship with these people will be of great help to your apprenticeship. .
　　 The few people in the Northland were not in a hurry to rest. They gathered together excitedly and studied the ring continuously. With a strong trend of curiosity, they were impatient to try it out.
　　 "But we haven't mastered the runes, can we inspire spells?" Kristel said with little stars in his eyes and hesitated in excitement.
Adam has an unparalleled interest in this ring, and he took the initiative to say: "It must be possible. This ring is equivalent to a crossbow with an arrow installed. We don't need to know the working principle of this crossbow, just buckle. Just pull the trigger. I guess the force that pulls the trigger is mental power."
　　 Sam Aiden's face was flushed, and he was happy to get such a treasure, but he still knew what was good or bad, and he didn't get lost. He proactively said, "Miss Ophelia, please try it."
　　Ophelia shook his head to signal Sam to experiment on his own. At this time, it was Adam who said: "May I try it?"
Probably because today's idiot named Tom mocked the Northland community, so Sam has a sense of belonging to his identity as a Northlander. He did not reject Adam, and generously handed him the ring, saying, "Of course. can."
　　 This ring is made of gold. Although the craftsmanship is exquisite, it is not abnormal. It is inlaid with a red gem, emitting a very faint light under the night.
If William Alfred did not lie, there should be a set of spell runes in this ring. Adam is so active. One is to spy on the structure of spell runes, and the other is to ask for proof of one thing-the spell in the end Is it activated by mental power or by another energy?
　　 "The existence of special energy fluctuation No. 2 is detected."
　　 Adam realized that spiritual power only exists as a transmission channel. It is the special energy No. 2 that can activate spells, which is a higher-level energy produced by the interaction of spiritual power with unknown external media.
　　 "In other words, the curing rune of mental power is equivalent to meditation, and the purpose is to strengthen the mental power until it is enough to freely contact the medium and carry the higher energy generated by the transportation."
The word 　　meditation is derived from the broken information obtained after Adam eliminated the virus. Most of this information is classified as junk data by Adam. I did not expect it to serve as a reference at this time.
　　Ophelia and others did not know that Adam had reached a preliminary conclusion in a short moment. They only saw Adam rubbing a ruby ​​with his finger, and thought he was thinking about ways to inspire magical objects.
　　 After getting the preliminary demonstration of the second question, Adam tried to input mental power into the gem, hoping to spy on the rune arrangement of this zero-level spell called ‘Fireball’.
　　 However, he did not succeed. After the spiritual power entered the gem, an astonishing high temperature appeared in front of Adam. Everyone was frightened. They felt a strong burning sensation. At this moment, they even thought they were in the lava of a volcano.
　　 Adam hurriedly raised his finger to the sky. After a second, an orange high-temperature fireball the size of a basketball rushed into the sky and exploded after shooting a distance of more than 500 meters.
　　 "The temperature is about 1,000 degrees Celsius, and it has reached the magma level."
The ruby ​​dimmed after initiating the fireball technique. Everyone looked at this ring in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that the high-temperature fireball was emitted from this small ring. What's more terrifying is that this is only the lowest level magic item. , In which only zero-level fireball is inscribed.
　　 "This is the power of magic, the power of the mage? It's amazing!" The exclamation of the people is probably the meaning. This is the first time they have seen magic. Flying is a dream achieved, and fireball is an intuitive power.
"No wonder the mages don't care about the knights. This is only the lowest level spell. The knights may not be able to resist it. If they are stronger and more numerous, the great knight..." Mike Gast murmured Talking to myself, I stopped here, after all, there was a great knight around him.
　　Ophelia nodded and admitted: "It is impossible to resist. If you are hit, you will definitely die."
　　 Sam Aiden looked at the dim ruby ​​distressedly. He was afraid that this magic item was a one-time use. If it was, it would be a waste to use this kind of experiment.
"The spell rune group has been encrypted to a certain degree and cannot be spied without effective means." While thinking about his own affairs, Adam took off the ring with some regret and returned it to Sam. Seeing him as a beloved concubine, he explained: "This ring is not a disposable item, but it should have a period of cooling and recharging. I speculate that mental power can speed up this process to a certain extent."
　　 Not to mention Sam, who is relieved and loves to play with the ring, and the people who are envious of him, Adam turns back to the room alone to start a new round of thinking.
　　 "The power of the flame lies in its temperature. The magic rune in the ring should increase the temperature, but the oxygen content in the air does not change drastically. Then, 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 wizard can do all kinds of incredible things.
　　 "There are too few samples."
After Adam saves the problem, he no longer thinks about it. Without sufficient data to support, analysis and judgment are just speculations and have no real effect. The only thing Adam can do now is to continue to optimize the mental strength curing rune to maximize it. Strengthen the mental power.
The progress of this task is pretty good. With the support of strong computing power, Adam is experimenting with new structures every second. Although the current form is not stable, he believes that he will find one after a period of time. A stable form that matches the output power of mental power.
No one in the Northland apprentices sleeps. After seeing magic, their interest is even more intense. They spend every available time for practice, but fortunately, spiritual practice can replace sleep, otherwise there will be a few the next morning. There are still two things to say about how individuals can maintain their state.
During breakfast, the Northland apprentices received a completely different attitude from last night. Most of the people except Tom showed kindness, and William Alfred came to talk more diligently. The main target was The three of Adam, but unfortunately, apart from Kristel's flattery, Adam and Ophelia reacted coldly.
"We are leaving the southern seaport today to go to the Mage Mainland. If there is no accident, unless we become a formal mage, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to return to our hometown again." William didn't care about their attitude, and after speaking the news To leave politely, he still needs to go to the other two teams to inform them.
　　 "Mr. William is really a man of demeanor." Kristel has a tendency to be idiot.
　　 After that, everyone came to the southern seaport. Ships from the Mage Continent had a separate dock. Everyone along the way looked at them in awe, which made the pride of the apprentices whose identities changed suddenly increased again.
What I saw in the sky yesterday evening was not really true. Now that he got close, Adam discovered that these ships were not sailing by primitive power. The shape of the ships from the Moldo Institute was close to the level of science fiction, and the alloys that constructed the hull were not known to Adam. Any kind of ~EbookFREE.me~ 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 this magical ship called the Moldo Academy. Mage Blake did not pay much attention to the apprentices, and went straight into the cabin.
The captain respectfully sent away the wizards and said: "We will arrive at the seaport where the Mage Continent and the Moldo Institute are located within three months. During this time, you can move freely on the ship. However, the innermost area on the first floor is the Mage. My lord’s residence, I advise you not to go there and disturb them, otherwise you will see the anger of Master Mage."
　　 "Also, don't fall into the sea, the monsters in the sea will not be polite to you, and the Moldo Academy will not stay for anyone."
　　 "You can find a place to stay at will. The journey is not interesting. If you feel boring, there are some entertainment facilities on board for you to use for free. You can talk to the sailors about other needs, but it is not guaranteed."
　　 After the captain left, several sailors took over the task of guidance. From their eyes, they could see the deep envy of the apprentices. Adam discovered that the captain was the strong man at the top of the great knight, stronger than Earl Johnson, and the sailors were all knights.
　　 Sure enough, knights are not a rare profession. Adam even guessed that ordinary people living on the continent of Mage might all be knights.
Everyone walked toward the cabin with excitement, choosing their own room. Except for the apprentice door in the south, which was very natural, the apprentices in the other areas were a little cautious, for fear of touching some mechanism or breaking something. For people, this is the first time I have been exposed to Magic Technology.
　　 With the deep whistle, the Moldo Academy set sail.
