Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 3: The Way of the Magician

Views:

In the lobby on the first floor of the apprentice apartment, there are three display cabinets.

There is a document in a glass cabinet, which is the handwriting of the old castellan of Griston. Inside a cabinet is a beautifully crafted sword, said to be a gift from a dwarven blacksmith. The last one is the magic bracelet, which is the legacy of a level 10 magician who left the academy two hundred years ago.

In the era when the concentration of mana in the world was low and legends did not come out, the 10th-level great magician was already the pinnacle existence in the mortal world. This is really the pride of Fleming's low magic academy.

The real value of these things is not high, and the meaning of existence is to show the historical background of the Magic Academy, so the warning magic is simply set up, and violent destruction will trigger an alarm.

But Link knows that the display case has a key, and he knows where the key is.

The lobby on the first floor is much more spacious, because it is also dimly lit in the middle of the night.

Link walked lightly until he reached the door of Mrs. Fairfax's room, and he knocked lightly on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk", in the quiet night, the knock on the door is very clear.

There was only one knock, and Mrs. Fairfax responded from inside: "Who is it?"

The old man really slept lightly.

Link said anxiously, "Ma'am, it's me, Link in room 309, I need you urgently, can you open the door?"

The old lady was kind-hearted and would never refuse the young man's request, even if it disturbed her rest.

"Hey, wait, I'm here."

There was a rustling sound from inside the door. It should be the old lady putting on clothes. Women's clothes in this world are very complicated, and the old lady's hands and feet are not very flexible. It took about three or four minutes before the sound of footsteps came from inside the door. .

Link took a deep breath, raised his crescent wand, and pointed it at the wooden door.

Soon, the lock was turned, and with a creaking sound, the door opened, revealing Mrs. Fairfax's wrinkled face behind the door.

"What happened..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the wand in Link's hand had already emitted a faint light: "Sleeping."

Sleep

Level 0 Magic

Function: Make people fall into a coma, the stronger the opponent, the worse the effect.

Sleeping spells are already real magic. Link carefully experienced the feeling of releasing magic. He found that it felt very strange and handy, just like the feeling of casting spells in the game!

'If that's the case, escaping Gerrystone is not a difficult task. 'Link had confidence in his heart.

This magic consumes 1 free point of Link, and it costs 2 points of mana to cast it, but it is worth it. For this kind old lady, Link can't roughly knock her out, he can't live with himself That level.

Mrs. Fairfax is only a level 1 magician, and has just stepped into the ranks of official magicians. Her magical talent is very, very ordinary, and the qualification of this level 1 magician is purely obtained.

Especially at this moment, she was woken up in the middle of the night, her mind was still not clear, and Link's casting speed was extremely fast, the light on the wand flashed, and the magic was completed in less than one-tenth of a second. Move, as soon as the body is weak, just fall down.

Casting spells is extremely fast, which is Link's talent for running the "Myth" game, and it is also effective in this different world.

Link quickly supported the old lady's thin body, moved her into the room, and put her on the bed.

According to his estimation, the effect of this drowsiness magic lasts at most one hour, and it is already 9:55 in the middle of the night, which is enough time.

Mrs. Fairfax is the housekeeper, and she keeps the keys to the display cabinets.

Link searched around the room, and finally found a large bunch of keys in the small drawer of the vanity mirror by the window. The old lady was a little forgetful, so the keys were clearly marked with their respective uses, which greatly facilitated Link.

After easily finding the key to the display cabinet, Link opened the display cabinet No. 3, opened it, and got the magic bracelet.

The bracelet is made of pure gold and copper alloy, exuding a lavender luster, engraved with a large number of magic runes around it, because the condensed magic energy flows in it, and these runes are shining with a misty silver streamer, which looks like Extremely Beautiful.

'Bracelet of Guardian'

Quality: excellent

Effect: After being activated, a level 2 protective barrier will be generated.

Number of uses (1/1)

(Note: The pride of the academy, the early work of the great magician Arlan, is not perfect.)

"Although it's a disposable item, it's enough!" Link put the bracelet on his wrist.

So far, he has obtained all the extra power that can be obtained in this apprentice apartment.

Turning over the pocket watch, it shows the time: 9:58, the last half hour is left, and he still has one last thing to do, which is to fulfill the young Link's last wish and take Celine away.

Stride to the second floor, without looking for it, Link's footsteps turned to the door of Celine's room.

'Tuk tuk tuk' This is Link's third knock on the door tonight.

There was no response from inside the door. The young man was in a deep sleep. Link sighed softly, pointed the crescent wand on the door lock, and activated the mage's hand.

In just a second, there was a soft 'click', and the door lock was opened. Link pushed the door and entered, then closed the door and locked it.

Then he turned around and looked at the room in front of him.

The layout in the room is very simple, except for the bed, the only furniture is a dilapidated dressing table with a mirror and a comb on it, an open book next to it, and a gnawed piece of furniture next to it. Half of dry bread.

Celine was lying on the bed. She was covered with a thin quilt with patches. The quilt was too thin and had limited protection against the cold. Because of the cold, her body was tightly curled up.

This is the difference between civilians and nobles. Although the tuition fee is reduced because of his outstanding talent, he is still struggling in life. Although Link's body is not very talented in magic, as a nobleman, he still has no worries about food and clothing. will be cold and hungry.

Link went to the chair in the dresser and sat down, quietly looking out of the dark window, waiting patiently.

It is 10 o'clock now, and there is still half an hour before there is a chance to escape. It is too much to explain, and Link is not in a hurry to wake Celine.

Walking to the dressing table, he flipped through the magic book on the lower table. The title of the book was "Analysis of Magic Energy Turbulence". It was a very profound book. Link tried to read a few pages.

"Huh?"

Link was surprised to find that he could understand this book. Not only could he understand it, but it was effortless. He even discovered several flaws in the magic energy evolution equation.

The brain becomes uncharacteristically easy to use.

He didn't believe it, thought it was a blind cat and dead mouse, and turned a few more pages, but the result was still the same. This book of magic theory, which was originally very advanced in the eyes of the young Link, was directly a book of alien magic in the eyes of Link on Earth. It turned out to be as simple as a kindergarten enlightenment book.

"By the way, the Lord of Radiance told me that in order to allow me to travel through time safely, he greatly strengthened my soul. Could this be the effect of a strong soul?"

After much deliberation, this is the only way to explain it.

Link became interested in reading it. He read it page by page, flipping through it quickly. He completely understood the book.

His mind was uncharacteristically easy to use, and he seemed born for magic.

When he quickly flipped through the book, Link already had a fairly comprehensive understanding of this different world.

According to the description in the book, Ferroman's world is an isolated island surrounded by a boundless sea of magic energy. The magic energy dissociated from the sea and spread to the world of Ferroman, nourishing the creatures in the world.

Magicians use one word to describe this state, that is 'soaked', the whole world is soaked in the sea of magic energy.

Although the concentration of these free magic energies is far inferior to that of the sea of mana energy, it makes this world more colorful. The creatures in the world use these mana energies to create a splendid magic civilization.

This is the magician's worldview.

"It's really strange. In the game, I have always been praised as a god of magic, but until today, I really understand the essence of magic."

Link looked at the magic wand in his hand, and he found that the principle of the magic wand was actually not difficult at all, it was just a clever application of the magic energy compression theory, and he could easily feel the flaws of the magic wand.

'If you give me the conditions to study and study, live for three months... no, no, one month is enough, I'm sure I can make a better wand than this! 'Link has this confidence.

In the game, Link released magic because he knew what it was, but he didn't know why. The so-called Dharma God was just a compliment from the players. Now in another world, he, who was gifted by the Lord of Radiance, really has the ability to become a Dharma God. God's capital.

"After escaping from Grystone City, I must find some magic books. After completing the game system tasks, I will learn magic. I must make myself stronger!"

If he only relies on free points to upgrade, then although he can learn a lot of magic and gain powerful power in a very short period of time.

But these magics given by the game system have a fatal problem, they can only be the magic of the public, just like in the game, the player's magic is the most common.

For the same magic, the power of the player version will never be comparable to that of bosses or even elite monsters.

"Those powerful magicians have their own unique super magic skills. The same magic in their hands can exert far more power than players. These super magic skills are based on a deep understanding of magic and are definitely not game systems. able to give."

For example, the last abyss lord Nosamas he confronted, with his super magic skills, he was able to cast a finger of death at the peak of legendary magic at level 19, and he was able to cast it instantly. Before casting the spell, there was almost no sign.

At that time, 90% of the entire combat team was killed by him with the death blow.

'The game system and free points are only auxiliary after all, I also have my own way of magic! 'Understanding his future development path, Link felt at peace, without any hesitation.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at it again. It was already 10:25, and there was not much time left.

Link turned and walked to the bed, patted Celine's smooth and slightly flushed face, and said softly, "Celine, Celine, wake up."

I have to say that this girl is indeed very beautiful, her figure, appearance, and temperament are all top choices. It is no wonder that the original Link is so fascinated.

However, for some reason, Link always felt that this girl's face was familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

'It's really strange. ' Link was a little confused.

Celine fell into a deep sleep, and muttered in a daze, "Mother, let me sleep a little longer."

With a coquettish tone, like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, Link couldn't help smiling.

However, Celine quickly realized that her body froze suddenly, and then she turned her head abruptly, staring at Link with eyes as clear as flawless sapphires, and she no longer felt sleepy at all.

"Why are you in my room?" She looked a little surprised, but not panicked.

Link has already stepped aside, with a serious expression on his face: "Get up quickly, something happened to the academy, we have to leave quickly!"

"What did you say!" Celine had a surprised expression on her face, but she still started to put on the dress that was put aside.

"Don't wear these, wear light short robes and pants!" Link immediately reminded, he glanced out of the window, his pupils shrank, and under the misty moonlight, he saw many fast-moving black shadows.

It's the Dark Elf Assassin!

They have already started to act.

In the dark corner, there were many black shadows running silently at high speed, and two of them were rushing towards the magic apartment.
