Vol 2 Chapter 106: Discovery and Invitation (Part 2)

No color, monotone, nothingness, and blank.
After Ain Rand guided him to meditation for the first time, Loren once again realized this strange feeling, as if all the information around him had been transformed into simple messages and symbols. You can still "see" and feel it.
The process of constructing a magic circle is similar to rebuilding your own spiritual hall-only this time it is not a spiritual level of consciousness, but in the real world, guiding the force of the void to "distort" the surroundings, creating an original should not Existing "scope".
It was already late at night, and only the cold moonlight penetrated into the room through the gap of the window. The sea breeze of the port was roaring outside the window, howling and wailing like a ghost, fleeting.
Standing in the middle of the room, Loren closed his eyes tightly and gently raised his left hand. The dark "caster" was hidden invisible in the dimly lit room, and he could only vaguely see the red lines above.
Loren has never used it since he came to Ebden, after all, the "caster" is almost a sign of the night watchman-but compared to the "tree heart" that the small wizard gave him, the black-haired wizard is still right. It is more familiar.
The swift consciousness surged back and forth at both the spiritual hall and the body level, and the dark-haired wizard slowly opened his eyes to calm down the restless heart. In the face of the void, any negligence and excitement may kill you.
A good swimmer is drowning in water and must be cautious even if he succeeds a thousand times. Keeping his patience, Loren gently opened his left hand, and a faint blue rune appeared in the center of the palm.
In the next moment, the runes dripped like drops of water, splayed "ripples" under Loren's feet, and the liquid with a grayish-blue light slowly condensed into a pattern of nine stars as if it had life.
The choice of Jiumangxing as the magic circle is not based on chance. Just like the Jiumang wizarding tower is not only because of its beauty, or really any special hobbies, it is regarded as a symbol of the wizard.
"Nine" is the limit of change. The nine-pointed star composed of three triangles implies endless changes and dynamics. It is indescribable and indescribable. It cannot be explained and is undetectable. This is the essence of the void.
The ring surrounded by the nine-pointed star represents the existence of "matter"-not a linear progression, but a circular alternation. Everything has its time, and it is revived and retreated.
Therefore, the nine-pointed star map itself is the perfect interpretation of the existence of the "wizard", connecting spirit and material, and applying knowledge and power to itself.
And here, Loren made a "little" change to the nine-pointed star. In short, a second layer of rings was added outside the original nine-pointed star ring, so that the entire pattern seemed to be hollow. The circle is in the center.
The dark-haired wizard gently pronounced the obscure spell. The complex runes were like lit candles, one after another appearing in the center of the two layers of rings, and the empty power of the gray-blue light gradually condensed, You can even feel the rhythm clearly.
"Fire of Turin--!"
The golden-red flames flowed out of the nine-pointed star under his feet, condensed into the palm of his palm like a flowing liquid, condensed into the shape of a fireball, and then the gray-blue magic array disappeared.
Hmm ... this method of casting can really reduce the erosion of the body by the void, and the energy consumption has not increased significantly. At the same time, the power of the higher-order spells has been improved. The only drawback may be that the casting time is somewhat Long.
However, as long as you use it skillfully, shortening time is not a problem-more importantly, this new way can directly use high-level spells that have not been memorized, which is a big boon for the caster! This is really ...
"I have a little question."
The teenager who was always watching suddenly tilted his head in confusion, his right hand was resting on his chin, and his ruby ​​eyes blinked: "Why are there two circles, just to put the curdled spell inside?"
"This is ... a small change for me." Loren shrugged with disapproval, and shrugged his shoulders: "You have to know that human beings are different from you. A certain degree of rules can guarantee our rationality. , Will not be eroded by the void ... "
"My dear Loren, don't explain." The teenager suddenly looked at him with a very "compassionate" look: "You just had an OCD, right?"
"..."
"Or is it a special hobby, seeing regular things excite you?"
"... Well, this is obsessive-compulsive disorder."
In the face of the evil forces, Loren chose to raise his hands and surrender-for Asriel, who does not understand art and does not know what beauty is, the dark-haired wizard decided not to care about this vulgar man.
"Boom boom ..."
A slight knock on the door came from outside, and Loren immediately put away the "caster", walked over and opened the door as if nothing had happened, and it caught his sight, still with a smile on his face. 'S innkeeper:
"Sorry, but there is a Lord Wizard who claims to be your friend outside. May I ask him to come in?"
.................. "I am Peter Fassa, do you still know me?"
From inside to outside, a cheerful young wizard stood outside the door with a big smile on his face. Loren had to admit that when he saw him, he really had such a momentary consternation.
"Um ... of course, what's the matter?"
"That's it, I represent you on behalf of the Nine-Man Star Wizard Tower ..." The words hadn't been finished yet, and Peter's round eyes suddenly turned away!
Asriel, who was originally lazy on the shelf, immediately felt a certain gaze fixed on him, turned like a blown sparrow, and wanted to fly away, but was stopped by that figure.
"Is this your pet?" Peter, who was lying under the shelf, looked around like he saw the New World. Asreal, who was staring straight at him, turned his head desperately, but he couldn't avoid this guy. Sight.
"something wrong?"
"Problem? Of course there is a problem, and ... I don't know how to describe it!" The young wizard yelled excitedly, exaggerating his words and actions to the extreme:
"The black feather eagle of this appearance is unprecedented-!!!"
"..."
Silently, Loren quietly let go of the left hand that had been holding "Bright Silver".
"I mean you look at its coat color, so pure black, even the purest black feather eagle of the bloodline is rarely owned; and this almost streamlined shape, sharp hook claws, perfect feather shape ... … Most importantly, these ruby-like eyes are pure and flawless, do you know how rare this is ?! "
Well, just as rare as a vampire, Loren replied silently in his heart.
Asrell, who had just tried hard to dodge, slowly raised his head after listening to Peter's words, proudly raised his wings, and seemed to be a noble young master.
The young wizard of "Heart-to-Enlightenment" immediately took out a delicate goose feather brush from his robe ~ EbookFREE.me ~ carefully cleaned the dust on his feathers.
"Although it's a bit rash to ask this question, what subject is your main subject?" Loren, whose mouth twitched, could not help asking.
"I am specializing in herbalism and some alchemy. I am a pharmacist in the Nine-Man Star Wizard's Tower." Peter replied, still devoting himself to cleaning up dust for Asriel: "But compared Those boring things, or these animals are more interesting to me! "
"Alas, I almost forgot about the important things!" Suddenly remembering his purpose, Peter Fasha quickly stood up and handed a letter to Loren: "Only represents the nine stars Wizard Tower, give this invitation to you. "
"Invitation?"
"Accurately, it is Master Robert Freswalk's entry certificate. Only you can enter his house with this." Peter shrugged: "Master Freswalk is not just an expert in occultism. Technical research is also unmatched!
The most important thing is that he is one of the people in charge of your test three days later. Do you want to see him first? "
