Repairing the magic circle is a very simple matter for Beta. But for the Aristotle family, it was quite troublesome. They have lost the construction skills of the magic circle, they only know how to use it, not how to maintain it.
In case the magic circle is damaged again in the future, do we have to invite Pope Beta again
With this in mind, before Sophia returned to Winterwind City, Levin had an in-depth talk with her.
"Sophia, it can be seen that you are indeed quite familiar with the Pope. So I have something that I would like to ask on behalf of the Pope."
Sophia's expression was half a smile, "Could it be a matter of descendants again?"
Speaking of this, Levine's sulking reappeared. But when he saw the expression on Sophia's face, and thought about how she somehow became stronger yesterday, he could only endure his sulkiness: "It's about summoning the magic circle. Please ask Pope Beta to help repair it. So I think, can the Pope teach us how to maintain the magic circle and the technology of building a magic circle. The clan is willing to pay enough price."
From a common sense point of view, Levine's request is quite reasonable, but the problem is. The technology of the magic circle is not independent. It doesn't mean that you can learn it by teaching the formation diagram of the summoning magic circle. Any magic circle requires several basic disciplines.
Magic power control, inscription literature, magic modeling and array relationship, magic materials, and even advanced mathematics, etc.
To learn a magic circle, one must start with the most basic inscriptions, which is not an easy task.
In the game, almost all high-level mage players are highly educated, and almost all of them are science students. Even Beta himself was a graduate student. They have a strong self-learning ability, and there is a forum community where they can communicate without barriers. Tens of thousands of mage players communicate with each other. This is how a dozen quite versatile and powerful spellcasters like Roland, Beta, etc. were born. By.
Counting from elementary school to postgraduate, Beta has studied systematically for at least 20 years. This assembly line-like education method has been thoroughly criticized by the so-called happiness education experts on the earth, saying that the people cultivated by this exam-oriented education system are not creative.
But this is actually just a joke. Creativity, without a solid foundation, is just a castle in the air, a fantasy. Moreover, only this kind of assembly-line personnel training system can achieve relative fairness in the selection of millions of students for the college entrance examination every year.
Otherwise, children from poor families will never receive a good education.
Because the so-called happy education is actually extracurricular training, which is very expensive. Piano lessons start at 100 yuan an hour, dance lessons, painting lessons, writing lessons, and so on. Since those experts started bragging about happy education, teachers stopped talking so seriously in the classroom, and they preferred to teach in extracurricular practice classes for a fee.
Now the middle class in big cities, a month's salary is not enough for children's extracurricular training fees.
Not to mention the kids in the village.
Even in a place like Earth that focuses on education, knowledge is almost becoming a luxury. In this dark age of magic world, the monopoly of knowledge is almost outrageous.
Even for most nobles, the education they receive is nothing more than etiquette and writing, plus some skills passed down from their ancestors. In essence, the average educational level of most nobles is probably not as good as junior high school students on Earth.
Because the acquisition of knowledge is too difficult, people in the world generally have low self-learning ability. For most people, knowledge is a rather troublesome and esoteric thing. Many college students on earth can master things after studying for three to five years. In this world, even if they are learned by high-quality noble descendants, it may take more than ten or twenty years to learn.
Therefore, blood, which is rooted in instinct, is favored by all nobles.
No need to study, as long as the age is up, all kinds of abilities can be stimulated, how wonderful.
Hearing Levin's request, Sophia smiled: "You know the magic circle, why are so few people understand it?"
"Lost?" Levin raised his eyebrows.
"It's too difficult." Sophia smiled lightly.
The reason why she said this was actually because Beta had taught Barbara the magic circle for a while at the request of Kyle. As a result, Barbara gave up voluntarily after studying for three months.
Again, for these outsiders, learning the magic circle is too difficult.
Barbara could barely understand the inscription. When Beta began to teach multivariate equations, mathematical modeling, and other knowledge, Barbara felt as if he was listening to heaven.
Then just give up.
But the problem is that this knowledge is necessary in order to learn magic circles well.
Moreover, high-level magic also needs to be analyzed by mathematical modeling. If you follow the traditional way to learn advanced magic, it will take quite a long time, quite a long time.
"It may take several years to learn the most basic magic circle." Sophia said with a smile: "My daughter was also taught by Pope Beta, but she gave up very quickly."
"Barbara may not be interested in studying."
Levin laughed dryly. What he meant was obvious. He just said that Barbara might be stupid, and the people on the master's side were different.
"My daughter is almost becoming a master mage. Who do you want in the family to learn about magic circles, John?" Sophia smiled: "Or Kerrigan?"
"I'm not afraid, even if it takes decades, I'm willing to learn."
The bookshelf turned slowly, and a young man came out from behind. He looked at Sophia, and said with an air of doing his part: "Aunt Sophia, I am confident that no matter how much time it takes, I will learn the knowledge of summoning the magic circle."
Sophia smiled, with a sneer on her face: "Decades... You are willing to spend decades to learn, but is Pope Beta willing to spend decades to teach you?"
Just one sentence: 'Who do you think you are? ' up.
No mother would like her daughter to be belittled and scolded for being stupid in private. What Levin said just now has actually made Sophia quite unhappy in her heart. Now she clearly said the money back, which in itself meant to vent her anger on her daughter.
The young man was at a loss.
Levin chimed in and said, "We can pay enough. The question is, Sophia, are you willing to help your loved ones?"
Has family kidnapping started? There was a slightly cold smile on Sophia's face, she was very beautiful, but also very uncomfortable. She stood up from her chair: "Patriarch, it's hard to say something, but I still have to say it. What kind of price can your Aristotle family give?"
you!
Levin felt a little displeased when he heard this word, but now he has something to ask for, so he can only pretend not to hear it: "As long as you can persuade His Majesty the Pope to teach us the knowledge of magic circles, we are willing to pay any price." .”
Sophia shook her head bluntly: "You can't give him what he wants. Wealth? He is the Pope of the God of Wealth. Woman? The most beautiful woman around him looks exactly like Goddess Woking. Power... He is the Pope, a What power can the Pope, the Aristotle family, who owns the miracle sect give him?"
Levin said seriously: "So, Sophia, we need your help. Your friendship with His Majesty Beta, if we pay enough price, I think we can convince him."
"Yes, if I sincerely ask him, coupled with the benefits you give, I will be able to persuade His Majesty the Pope."
Both men had joy on their faces.
But Sophia changed the subject: "But, why should I destroy my friendship with Pope Beta?"
A sharp rhetorical question made Levin speechless.
"You are our relative, Aristotle..."
Sophia shook her head as she walked towards the door: "Sorry, I am the wife of the castellan of Winterwind City, the wife of Patriarch Langman. Pope Beta is my best friend, and I cannot let my friends treat me because of my personal affairs. I feel disappointed. Asking Pope Beta to help repair the magic circle is already within my power and the greatest help to the family."
After speaking, Sophia left.
Levin slammed the table hard. The young man next to him sighed and said, "Uncle, apart from Pope Beta, does anyone else understand the magic circle?"
"It is said that Frans has such talents, but I can't guarantee whether he can repair the summoning magic circle. Moreover, it is said that he only knows five or six magic circles."
The young man let out a long sigh, saluted and left. Levin leaned back on the chair and looked up at the roof with an extremely unhappy expression.
Beta teleported to the outskirts of the sanctuary, tidied up the night sky a bit, dyed her hair brown, and walked outside the city.
From a distance, you can see a large golden ball of light above the center of the sanctuary. Its brightness is comparable to that of the sun, but the light produced has no substantial temperature.
The sanctuary is also called the city that never sleeps, and this is the reason.
This thing is the legendary Heart of Light. In the game, the Goddess of Light gave this thing to her cousin Shuke, and then turned it into a golden sun pendant, which has a law-level passive ability.
After looking at the Heart of Light for a while, Beta walked to the city gate.
As the sanctuary of the Light God Sect, the sanctuary naturally has walls. The city wall here is not too tall, but there are teams of elite holy guards patrolling it, and there are also holy warriors stationed in the city. It can be said that the city with the strongest defense ability in the world is none other than the sanctuary.
Beta went to the city gate and lined up... Sanctuary is the only city that dares to let magicians line up to enter the city.
They have the confidence.
After queuing for a long time, it was finally Beta's turn. The two holy guards who were in charge of the inspection looked at Beta's outfit with disgust.
"Magician... what are you doing here?"
