13. A First Look at Magic

The Duke himself was an apprentice from Moldo Academy. Because he failed to become a formal mage, he simply gave up his mage path and came to this island to become a noble, and began to do his best to cultivate his juniors, hoping that among his descendants, a real mage could come to realize his dreams.

Because of his college experience, he particularly understands the importance of qualifications in the apprenticeship stage. Although formal mages think that qualifications are useless, knowledge is the most useful, it is just that their level is improved and their perspectives on problems are different.

After the dinner, Duke Alfred asked William to inform William one by one of the few people mentioned by the wizards, and told him that it would be of great help to your apprenticeship.

The few people from the north did not rush to rest. They gathered together excitedly and studied the ring constantly. They were eager to experiment with the strong curiosity trend.

"But we haven't mastered the runes yet. Can we activate spells?" Corriester said with excitement and hesitation in his eyes.

Adam had an unparalleled interest in this ring. He spoke for the first time: "It must be possible. This ring is equivalent to a crossbow with arrows installed. We don't need to know the working principle of this crossbow, we just need to pull the trigger. I guess the power of pulling the trigger is mental power."

Sam Aiden's face was flushed, happy that he had obtained such a treasure, but he knew it well and did not take it off and said proactively: "Miss Ophelia, please try it."

Ophelia shook her head and signaled Sam to experiment on her own. At this time, Adam spoke again: "Can you let me experiment?"

Perhaps because the idiot named Tom today mocked the group of Northland, Sam had a little sense of belonging to his identity as a Northlander. He did not refuse Adam, and generously handed him the ring and said, "Of course."

The ring is cast in gold. Although the craftsmanship is exquisite, it is not abnormal. It is inlaid with a red gem, which emits a very faint light under the night sky.

If William Alfreid had not lie, there should be a set of spell runes arranged in this ring. Adam is so active, one is to want to spy on the structure of spell runes, and the other is to ask for one thing - is the spell activated by mental power or by another energy.

"The existence of special energy fluctuations of No. 2 was detected."

Adam realized in his heart that mental power only exists as a transmission channel. The special energy that can activate spells is the second special energy, which is a higher energy generated by the interaction between mental power and unknown mediums in the outside world.

“That is, the mental solidification rune is equivalent to meditation, with the purpose of strengthening the mental power until it is sufficient to freely contact the medium and carry the higher energy generated by transport.”

The word meditation is derived from broken information obtained by Adam after destroying the virus. Most of this information is classified as garbage data by Adam. Unexpectedly, it will serve as a reference at this time.

Ophelia and others did not know that Adam came to a preliminary conclusion in just a moment. They only saw Adam rubbing the ruby ​​with his fingers, and thought he was thinking about how to inspire magical items.

After the second question was initially proven, Adam tried to input his mental power into the gem, wanting to spy on the rune arrangement of this level zero spell called "Fireball".

However, he did not succeed. When the mental power entered the gem, the 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 volcanic lava.

Adam hurriedly raised his hand and pointed it at the sky. One second later, an orange-yellow high-temperature fireball the size of a basketball rushed into the sky, shot more than 500 meters away and exploded.

"The temperature is about one thousand degrees Celsius and has reached the magma level."

After the ruby ​​was activated, the fireball magic dimmed. Everyone looked at the ring in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that the high-temperature fireball was actually emitted from this small ring. What was even more terrifying was that this was just the lowest level magic item, and the inscribed only was the zero-level fireball magic.

"This is the power of magic, is the power of a mage? It's amazing!" The amazement of everyone was probably this meaning. This was the first time they saw magic. Flying was a dream achieved, while fireball was an intuitive power.

"No wonder the mages don't care about the knights at all. This is just the lowest level spell. The knights may no longer be able to resist. If they are stronger and more numerous, the big knight..." Mike Gast murmured to himself, and stopped at this point. After all, there is a big knight around him.

Ophelia nodded without hesitation and admitted: "It is impossible to resist. If you are hit, you will definitely die."

Sam Aiden looked at the dim ruby ​​with distress. He was afraid that this magic item would be disposable. If so, it would be a waste to use it in this kind of experiment.

"The spell rune group has been encrypted to a certain extent and cannot be spyed in the absence of effective means." While thinking about his own affairs, Adam took off the ring and returned it to Sam with regret. Seeing that he was losing his parents, he explained: "This ring is not a disposable item, but it should have a period of cooling and charging time. I speculate that mental power can accelerate this process to a certain extent."

Not mentioning Sam who was relieved and loved to play with the ring and the people who were envious of him, Adam turned back to the room alone to start a new round of thinking.

"The power of flame lies in its temperature. The function of the spell runes in the ring should be to increase the temperature, but the oxygen content in the air does not change drastically. So, what is the combustion medium?"

Adam felt that he had grasped the key to the problem. After analyzing the known data, the reason finally pointed to the special energy of No. 2. The mastery of this mysterious energy may be the reason why the mage can do all kinds of incredible things.

“There are too few samples.”

After Adam saved the problem, he no longer thought about it. Without sufficient data support, analysis and judgment were just speculations and had no substantial effect. Now the only thing Adam can do is to continue to optimize the mental power and solidify the runes so that it can strengthen the mental power to the maximum extent.

The progress of this task is pretty good. With the support of strong computing power, Adam is experimenting with a new structure every second. Although the current form is not stable, he believes that after a period of time, he will definitely find a stable form that matches the output power of the mental power.

No one of the apprentices in Beidi went to bed. After seeing magic, they had already become more interested and used every time they could use to practice. Fortunately, the practice of mental power can replace sleep. Otherwise, it would be different if there were several people who could maintain their state the next morning.

During breakfast, the Northland apprentices received a completely different attitude from last night. Most of the others except Tom expressed kindness. William Alfreid came to chat with her attentively, with the main targets of Adam and the other two. Unfortunately, except for Corriester's flattery, Adam and Ophelia reacted coldly.

"We are leaving the southern harbor today to go to the mage continent. If there is no accident, unless we become a formal mage, it will be difficult to have the chance to return to our hometown again." William did not care about their attitude. After saying the news, he politely said goodbye and left. He also needed to go to the other two teams to inform them of the news.

"Mr. William is such a kind person." Corriester tends to be a little illusionate.

Afterwards, everyone came to the southern harbor. The ships from the Mage Continent only docked on their own pier. Everyone along the way cast awe-in-a-look at them, which once again increased the pride in the hearts of some apprentices who had suddenly changed their identities.

I didn't see it in the sky yesterday evening. Now that I've gotten close to it, Adam discovered that these ships were indeed not sailing on primitive power. The ship form from Moldo Academy is close to science fiction, and the alloy used to construct the hull is not any of Adam's knowledge. Obviously, magic technology based on the extraordinary knowledge system has development that is no less than or even surpasses the earth.

Under the leadership of the mage, they boarded the magic ship called the Moldo Academy. Mage Black and others did not pay much attention to the apprentice and walked straight into the cabin.

After respectfully sending away the mages, the captain said, "We will arrive at the harbor where the Mage Continent and Moldo Academy are located within three months. During this period, you can move freely on the ship. However, the innermost area on the first floor is the residence of the mage. I advise you not to disturb them there, otherwise you will see the mage's anger."

"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. The journey is not interesting. If you find it boring, there are some entertainment facilities on the boat for you to use for free. If you have other needs, you can tell the sailors, but it is not guaranteed to be satisfied."

After the captain said that, he left, several sailors stepped forward to take over the guidance mission. From their eyes, they could see their deep envy of the apprentices. Adam discovered that the captain was a strong man at the peak of the Great Knight, stronger than Count Johnson, and the sailors were all knights.

Sure enough, knights are not a rare profession. Adam even speculated that ordinary people living on the Mage Continent may be knights.

Everyone walked towards the cabin excitedly and chose their own rooms. Except for the apprentice door in the south that was very natural, the apprentices in the other areas were a little cautious, fearing that they would touch some mechanism or break something. After all, for most people, this is the first time they have come into contact with magic technology.
