Bob thought the mood at the dinner table in the morning was eerie. It had to remind him of what happened last night after the door closed. You know, he stayed outside the door all night to make sure that Master Dilling did not come out again. And the servant who cleaned and sanitized in the morning swears that the young master and Hydeyin left the door together, so although he didn't want to think about it, he had to think about something.
…
God knows, his young master is still developing!
Thinking of this, Bob couldn't help but feel a little resentful when he looked at Heidein.
Hyde was irrelevant.
Dilling felt that his butt was hot, but his expression was calm. Except that the force was a little stronger when he made the jam, he couldn't see any difference between him and usual.
When Bob's eyes fell on him, he was immediately filled with sympathy and pity, "Master, the weather is fine today."
Dilling responded.
"Would you like to get some more sleep?" Bob asked.
Di Lin was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
Bob responded quickly, "Young master has worked so hard in the academy for so long, it's rare to come home, you should relax."
Di Lin also wanted to lie down, but he turned his head and saw Heideyin, the scene from last night was vivid in his mind, and his fighting spirit suddenly became high, and he waved his hand: "No, I have to practice in a while."
Bob tentatively said, "Are you sure you want to practice today too?"
Dilling nodded heavily.
The doorbell rang and Bob turned and walked towards the door.
Hydein glanced at Bob's back thoughtfully, then turned to Dilling and said, "Maybe it's a good idea to sleep."
When Dilling heard the word "sleep", his scalp numb, "What do you mean?"
"Rest." Hyde swept his eyes down the buttons on his clothes, "What you need now."
"No need." Di Lin said solemnly, "I only need to practice magic at the moment, and then defeat you."
With interest, Hyde looked at the young man who had followed him around and turned into a young man with high fighting spirit overnight, "I'll wait and see."
Bob came back soon with a letter in his hand, "Master, your letter."
Dilling put down the tea and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin before taking it and unfolding it.
The letter was short, and he read it with just a few glances.
"I'm going out today," he said.
Bob said, "Do you need to prepare a carriage for the young master?"
Dilling thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I'm going to Magill Town."
Hyde looked up.
He said: "One of my three major tasks. The Magic Association has already told the news to the great magician of Abner, and he wants me to rush over today."
"I think he must be happy with a labor force that is delivered to his door for free," Heiden said.
Dilling's eyes shone brightly, "It's my honor to be able to study under the world-famous master of magic circle making."
Hydein frowned.
"Teacher thinks it's not right?" Although he was regarded as his opponent, Dilling knew very well that on the road to learning magic, no one would be more suitable to be his teacher than Hydein.
"The magic circle doesn't have much effect on personal magic achievement." Heidein said.
Dilling said: "But it can assist in the advancement of magic cultivation."
"In the case of a bottleneck, yes. But it only applies to elementary and intermediate magicians. Which advanced magician have you heard of advancing by magic circle?" Heidein said, "Even if there is, then it is It shows that he cannot become a true master of magic in his entire life."
Dilling knew he was right.
"Remember. The world of magic has opportunistic tricks, but the consequences are not worth the loss. Only by truly understanding magic can you create magic. Only by creating magic can you become a true magician."
Dilling wondered, "A real magician?"
The corner of Hydein's mouth lifted slightly, "The meaning of magic is to make everything impossible possible. Repeating what others have done is just doing something that others have done possible through your hands."
"I see." From the day he became a student of Hydein, creation has been the central word of his study life. Heiden is very fond of this, not only him, but also St. Pardes College. That's why there are harsh conditions that require you to create your own magic after graduation. However, in this way, if you want to defeat Heidein, you must also create your own magic. After all, Heidein is currently recognized as the number one magician, and the existing magic obviously cannot defeat him.
Thinking of this, he was full of pride. "Let's go quickly."
Completing his studies is the first step, the second step is to walk from behind him to his side, and finally surpass him!
Magill Town is a veritable town.
Dilling and Hydein stood at the head of the town and saw the tail of the town at a glance.
"Who are you looking for?" After looking up at them for a long time, the potbellied aunt finally couldn't help talking.
"I want to find Master Abner." Dilling said.
The aunt said: "Master? The only master here is Hank, he is a carpenter. Haha."
Hydein squinted.
Auntie's laughter was frozen.
Di Lindao: "The one we are looking for is a magician who mainly studies magic circles."
"Magician? We don't have such a high-level guy here." The aunt thought for a while and said, "But speaking of what kind of array, you keep walking along this road, don't stop when you walk out of the town, you will see a Weird old man. Maybe he knows who you're looking for."
If it wasn't for Dilling and Hydein who finally saw a huge magic circle after walking out of the town for half an hour, they would have thought that the aunt's guidance was a sign that they should leave the town silently and not look back.
The strange old man in Aunt's mouth was bending over to measure with a ruler.
"Master Abner?" Dilling called tentatively.
The old man looked up suddenly, his pointy head and chin making his whole face look like a big olive.
"I'm Dilling Basseco," Dilling introduced himself. "I'm from St. Pardes. I received your letter before..."
"Why are you so young?" Abner cut him off suddenly.
Di Lin was startled and said, "Are you referring to size or..."
"It refers to the mentality, but a nanny is required to accompany him." Abner was very dissatisfied.
"Nanny" raised his eyebrows, "How did you know that I was with him?"
"Ha!" Abner shook his head, "Apart from not putting each other on your body, what else can't you see that you are together?"
Dilling wanted to find a hole to dig into. He and Hyde were used to going in and out together, so he didn't expect to look like a small child to outsiders.
Heidein said: "We are not together."
Abner glared at him, as if looking at a thief who was caught on the spot and refused to admit it.
"I'm here to find you." Heidein said.
Abner asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"Hydein."
Abner jumped up, "What are you doing with me?"
Hydein's mouth curved, "What do you think?"
Abner rolled his eyes, "Although you are quite famous, I won't accept apprentices. Also, you!" He pointed to Dilling, "You are here to work for me! Not standing Act next to what the young master showed me, hurry up, hurry up. Take off your clothes!"
Dilling said: "Undress?"
Hyde raised his right eyebrow.
Abner jumped again, "How can you work without changing your clothes? Are you going to wear this fancy thing to touch my most noble and sacred magic circle?"
Dilling looked down at his clothes. No matter what part it is, it is not bells and whistles, at best... well-crafted.
Abner kept staring at Heidein as he changed his clothes.
"Do you have to stay here?" He said badly.
Heidein said: "No."
"Then you're not leaving yet?"
"I don't have to stay here, I just stay here while Dilling stays here." He said lightly.
Abner's mouth twitched, "How can a teacher stick to students so much?"
"Who said I was his teacher?" Hydein asked leisurely.
"The whole continent knows it." Abner said aggressively, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Isn't it?"
"It's vacation time."
"… so what?"
Heidein said, "I'm just his lover."
Abner was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Aha, you said you didn't come with him?"
"Who stipulated that if I was his lover, I must accompany him?" Hydein asked indifferently.
Abner opened his mouth and found that there was really no causal relationship. He couldn't help but become angry and said: "What are you doing here?"
Heidein said: "Challenge you."
Abner's glasses and mouth open into a circle.
Dilling came out after changing his clothes and saw Abner's dull face. "Master Abner?" He looked at Heidein and asked silently.
Heidein said: "He was so excited to know that I was coming to challenge him."
Abner had to hide behind Dilling, pointed at Hydein from a distance and said, "Why are you here to challenge me?!" He is called a master, yes, but he is only a master of magic circles! Being challenged by the number one magician in the mainland... This is definitely the end of ten dead!
Hyde shrugged innocently: "I always have to find a reason to come to you."
"..." Abner looked at him, then at Dilling, and finally succumbed to the threat of his life, "Actually, I also welcome... students' families to visit and stay overnight." He must be with St. Pades Magic School cut off! In the future, they will stuff this messy task over there.
Hydein smiled and said, "Then, I'm sorry to bother you."
"..." Abner decided to ignore him. He turned his head to look at Dilling, who had already put on his special overalls, and took him to the back of the house.
It was a huge magic circle, bigger than Dilling imagined. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be all over the mountains. There are many kinds of magic potions for drawing magic circles, which correspond to the four elements. The quality of the potions is determined according to the purity and concentration of the potions. From Di Lin's eyes, the magic circle in front of him is absolutely worthless. It's not that the value of this magic circle is drawn, but the value of the potion used to draw this magic circle itself is an astronomical figure.
Seeing that he was stunned, Abner was proud, "You are the second person who is fortunate enough to appreciate this magic circle."
"The first one is you?" Dilling was flattered.
"... The first one is the president of the Magic Association, Bradley. This is sponsored by the Magic Association. I don't count!" Abner felt that their teachers and students were too tired to talk.
Dilling also found that after he knew Heidein, he became fond of words when speaking. "What kind of magic circle is this?"
"Psychedelic array. A type of space magic array." Abner paused and said, "I heard that you also produced an extremely complex large-scale space magic in Langzhan last time?"
Dilling nodded and said, "It was designed by the instructor."
Abner snorted coldly, "Isn't it a failure?"
Dilling wanted to say that it was because the enemy was too powerful, but then he felt that it was boring to make excuses, so he didn't speak.
Abner didn't mean to belittle, but was just curious about the magic. Seeing that he didn't answer, he couldn't help but ask, "How did it fail?"
"It was broken." In fact, Di Lin didn't know how it was broken. Logically speaking, based on his understanding of that space magic, there should be no exit. But at that time, the other party did indeed come out of magic.
Abner said: "That means that magic is not powerful enough. After all, large-scale magic that requires cooperation between people cannot be as precise and firm as a magic circle. You can see that this is different. It is based on seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and one. Ten new spaces created by distortions. If you want to break this formation, you must untie the 679,887 space knots created between them."
Dilling recalled that Hyde had said that the key to the space magic array was not the number of space knots, but the complexity of the space knots. But he saw Abner's proud expression and finally swallowed the words.
"Since you have learned space magic, then I will not popularize the basic knowledge. First, I will briefly tell you the principle and layout of the magic circle." Abner looked at him, "but this psychedelic circle of mine is very complicated. Distorting space, creating secondary space, but also arranging secondary space to make it a beautiful palace."
This is something Dilling has never learned. He pricked up his ears curiously.
Abner expressed satisfaction with his attitude, nodded and said: "The psychedelic array is the most complicated type of space magic array. It is not the complexity of the space knot, but the complexity of the scene. The biggest feature of the psychedelic array is that it will trap the array. The people who fell in love with the illusion, so this illusion must be beautifully arranged. I heard that you are wind and water?"
Dilling wanted to explain that his wind system was just a derivative of the water system, but Abner didn't give him a chance, and continued: "So what you have to do now is... be a transporter."
Dilling was stunned.
The transporter in Abner's mouth... is an ordinary transporter.
Dilling doubted that Saint Pardes sent him to help Abner not because he knew space magic, but because he knew wind magic and was very convenient to transport things.
Abner's palace in the sub-space is almost finished. It is mainly made of civil engineering. The exterior is painted with the most popular wall stucco. The style is very trendy, and it is indeed more beautiful than many buildings today.
Dilling couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it for the first time, "This is your own design?"
"Of course? Or do you think I'll just let the dirt stand up and the wood fall down?" Abner couldn't hide his pride.
Dilling was speechless. If Abner had not been a magician, he would have been an excellent architect.
The transportation works lasted nearly a month, and the palace was finally fully built. During this period, Hydein lived his own life without disturbing them. The only time I saw him was at mealtime.
Dilling temporarily forgot about magic and the relationship between the two, and devoted himself to the construction of the magic circle wholeheartedly.
Abner then began to teach him the real knowledge related to the space magic circle. Most of this knowledge Dilling heard from Hydein, and a small part is Abner's experience. Although the principles of the Space Magic Array are similar, in terms of details, each Space Magic Master has its own unique secrets. For example, Abner's space knot is simpler and less troublesome than Heidein's, of course, it will be slightly inferior in firmness.
"Actually, magic space doesn't necessarily need space knots." One day, after watching Dilling finish drawing the elemental spell as instructed, Abner suddenly said, "Your instructor really designed a system that only uses people to cooperate. large-scale space magic?"
After a few days of getting along with him, Dilling had a rough idea of his character, and knew that he was arrogant and arrogant on the surface, but he was actually full of enthusiasm for magic. "Yes," he replied.
Abner was silent.
"Grandmaster?"
"You said, what's the use of my psychedelic array?"
"what?"
Abner said earnestly: "This psychedelic array may take another two years to complete, but at that time, Bradley might consider it as a tourist attraction. In comparison, large-scale space magic is more useful. As long as there are enough people and a tacit understanding, it can be done anytime, anywhere.”
Dilling said: "But the space magic circle also has the benefits of the space magic circle."
"What's the benefit?" Abner was like a big kid, disgusted with his own achievements, and he was eager for the other party to refute him.
"It's… uh, beautiful," Dilling said.
Abner was even more frustrated. "It's still a tourist attraction."
"Not necessarily." Di Lin thought for a while and said, "Maybe it can be used as a... Refuge?"
"Refuge?" Abner was taken aback.
Di Lindao: "Isn't the biggest feature of the psychedelic array psychedelic? This not only allows the enemy to go in and get lost, but also allows himself to go in to avoid the enemy. Isn't it?"
Abner's originally gloomy eyes instantly brightened. He rushed over and hugged Dilling, slapped him on the back fiercely, "You are a genius, you are a genius! Why didn't I think of it? Haha, Refuge, this idea is really genius!"
Since becoming a magician, Dilling felt that his physical fitness plummeted. Just like now, after being patted on the back a few times, he has the illusion of internal injury.
"You're done!" Abner released her suddenly, exclaiming happily.
"Huh?" Dilling was dumbfounded.
Abner said: "I'm going to tear down the palace and design it into a labyrinth. Aha, make it a nightmare for all the enemies who follow!"
Dilling hesitated: "I can stay and help."
"Aren't you enough of a transport worker?" Abner blinked narrowly, "But even if you're not enough, your lover's mentor is already impatient."
Dilling's face flushed.
Heidein's impatience is hard to tell from his expression, but as long as he is within five meters of him, he can feel it from the aura. He always thought that he was the only one who felt it, but Abner also discovered it.
Abner said loudly: "You solved a big puzzle of mine and let me find a new meaning in life, so I am very happy to announce that you are free!"
"..." Dilling felt a sense of happiness in being released from prison.
Despite being declared "released", Dilling and Hydein stayed in the town of Magill for an extra night due to the late weather.
Dilling was very distressed when he watched Abner demolish the palace in a big way. Such a beautiful building, after all, has become a short-lived flower.
As if seeing his distress, Abner said: "Different stages have different meanings. If giving up is for the pursuit of higher and better, then it is not a pity at all, but you should be happy."
Hydein said coldly: "Don't take personal conclusions as truth."
Abner glanced at him. After more than a month of getting along, he has confirmed that this guy who is even meaner than himself is just mean and doesn't really mean to develop his hands, so his words have become more casual, "You are worried that your students will give up on you. , looking for a higher and better mentor and lover?"
Heidein said: "You said that Dilling passed the trial."
"Yeah, so what?"
"So, even if you disappear now, it won't have any effect on the result of his trial."
"...No, it still has an impact. I haven't reported the trial results."
"I can wait for you."
"... No, I'll wait for you. Wait until I'm sure you leave Magill Town." Abner resolutely said.
The next day, Abner really sent Heidein and Dilling away in person, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they disappeared into the space teleportation magic circle.
The aunt who had been in charge of food for a month, this time with him to see him off, looked at him and suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" Abner glared at her displeased.
The aunt said, "Let me bring you a word before the blonde leaves."
Although he knew it wouldn't be a good word, Abner couldn't help but ask, "What?"
"He said that many clever murderers left and then sneaked back to attack."
Abner: "… "
