Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1683 Happy Russell
For the first time Russell understood what talent is.

Although the archmage suspected to be Johnston tried his best to hide his surprise, every time he corrected his wrong impression of a certain rune, he faintly revealed a little bit of meaning.

Russell's mistake was actually not that big.

Runes are actually very personal things. In the eyes of most mages, as long as they can smoothly form a rune chain in the spiritual sea, it is considered standard.

After all, only standard runes can resonate with other runes.

But the archmage in front of him couldn't understand why Russell's runes were always a little skewed.

Yep, not even a twist.

It's a little slanted.

Russell didn't feel it at all, but the archmage frowned after just looking at it twice, then directly took out a rune table, and took a piece of transparent paper...and asked Russell to keep on it trace.

This rune will only appear once at a time, and only if Russell does not compare it with the runes below, and the runes written on the paper meet the requirements, will it disappear and be replaced by the next one.

Russell originally thought it was an easy task, but the reality told him that what is crooked is crooked, and if he can't see it, it doesn't mean there is no crookedness.

Although his previous education did not require such strict requirements on the fineness of the runes, Russell knew very well that he had never been in contact with a real archmage... When others have reached a certain height, but he clearly There is nothing wrong with respecting a little authority.

There is no end to knowledge, and what you learn is yours. As for freedom, innovation... Do you want to build a magic tower if you don't even have a good foundation?

When Russell struggled through another three days, he finally sorted out all the hundreds of basic runes.

Then he felt what it means to be reborn.

It even only needed Archmage 'Johnston' to briefly explain the key points of the rune chain, and Russell quickly learned the detection magic.

Although the archmage said that it was because he was very familiar with the spell of increasing resistance, that's why he learned it so quickly, but Russell still understood how big the gap was.

Then he quickly thought of one thing, turned his head and asked softly the archmage who was thinking about something: "Sir, can I use this method of correcting runes for others?"

"Although it looks very simple, at least you need to learn most of the third-level spells to complete it." Hill said with a calm expression as he struggled to control his habit of blinking.

"No, it's not that troublesome." Russell was a little grandiose... How did this archmage learn things before?

He pursed his lips: "I just wrote out the standard runes, and then asked her to draw them slowly with tulle. How much she can learn depends on whether she is attentive enough."

"You don't need to ask me that." Hill shook his head lightly, "This is not a secret, many archmages teach their apprentices this way."

"The Tower of the Black Mystery is sure, ah, at least, there are no ordinary apprentices here." Russell said seriously, "The apprentices all wrote the magic books according to themselves, and the magic books are also... handwritten. "

Hill patted him on the shoulder: "It's not a secret with me anyway, you can do whatever you want."

Russell suddenly realized... Although this person refused to admit it, there is a 90.00% chance that he is Archmage Johnston!

Then how can you keep it a secret from the family members!
He couldn't help laughing: "Then when I go out, I will teach Carpenter, ah... she is my sister, a very cute little girl."

Hill nodded casually: "You have learned to detect poison first, then you can take a short rest.

Come to me after you sleep. "

Although Russell should have the hope of becoming a high-level apprentice after learning three more 0-ring spells, this child's mental power is almost at its peak.

Although it looks very energetic, in fact it is all supported by the excitement and willpower, otherwise it would not be a little confused, and the truth is a bit too much.

It seems that he really thinks that Carpenter is a lovely sister... Such a normal brother makes Hill suddenly a little confused.

This world is much crueler than Oises.

Russell's situation is also more difficult.

Although Oises' brother named Dieter is considered normal, he is obviously an exception. The normal brotherhood between Ellie and Linde is normal.

Hmm... Could it be said that sharing adversity means that it is easier to develop true feelings than sharing wealth?

Hill couldn't figure it out, but he didn't bother to think about it... Although the time was not long, this teaching method actually made him a little tired.

After all, he really had to think a lot before he could explain the spell so that the child could understand it.

It's not the same as when he taught Bonn.

After all, Trasil's environment is different from the outside world, and Bonn is just not sensitive enough to the elements, but the runes are actually learned from Hill after him, and the foundation is very solid.

He only needs a little bit to understand, but he needs to spend a lot of time to communicate the elements.

But this child really needs to speak in great detail.

Hill was really tired.

Russell, who had no idea what the archmage next to him was thinking about, felt good after learning the poison detection spell, and said goodbye to Hill happily... He really felt that he had made a qualitative leap.

-

Russell, who left the meditation room, glanced left and right, touched his stomach directly, frowned, and swiped his fingers in the air... Although he could feel that the passage of time was wrong from the state of hunger, it only passed The reality of the two days still surprised him a little.

The door next to him opened immediately, and Carpenter stretched out his head with a dissatisfied expression: "Russell, why did you come out!
Are you not hungry?

You haven't even slept, have you? "

Although she was complaining, her big eyes were full of concern: even though they had long been used to not eating during meditation, it was difficult for apprentices to absorb the magical elements of the air during the two-day meditation. adequate nutrition.

"I came up with a good idea and learned two new spells." Russell smiled at her, "Let's go to eat first, and then you come to my meditation room, and I will teach you to go to sleep."

"I've picked up your meals for the past two days for you." Carpenter said slowly, "Thank you for your hospitality."

Russell smiled at her: Although it sounds like Carpenter ate it himself, she must have only divided a small portion of the food that only apprentices can eat, and the rest was packed and sent to his home .

How many younger brothers and sisters are there in his family?
Their food is not available to everyone, even children with mage qualifications.

Before learning the first 0-level spell, apart from the nutritional potions provided by the family from which he was born, the family only provided special meals three times a month.

Only apprentices can have it every day, and they will be provided with special food purchased from the Magic Tower according to their aptitude.

When he returned to the meditation room again, Russell lay down on the table and began to describe the runes.

Just as Carpenter was about to ask a question, he pressed his shoulder in surprise and observed carefully.

For some reason, the runes that Russell just wrote have a different kind of temptation: exquisite and perfect, it seems that every rune is beckoning to her.

Russell had a rare extravagance. Not only did he use special paper for magic books, but he also wrote only 10 runes evenly on each sheet.

Carpenter silently picked up the first piece of paper and looked at it seriously.

Russell finished writing the runes, and when he stood up, he saw Carpenter who was immersed in the beauty of the runes.

"What? Carpenter, what do you see?" He asked with a smile.

"Your runes are more perfect than those in the magic book." Carpenter put down the paper, and gently let go of his fingers that had been tracing. "My brother, it seems very powerful!"

Her big eyes rolled around, sending a whisper signal to Russell: Is this the secret you found in the library?
Russell smiled at her, blinked, and smiled again.

Carpenter understood in seconds, this was just one of them, not all of them, but he couldn't say a single word.

The benefits that Russell gets, and what can be shared with her will always be said.

Moreover, Carpenter quickly thought of a benefit... If Russell has the ability to protect her in the Tower of Black Mystery, then she doesn't need to think so much!

She raised her head quickly: "You learned two spells?
Then... is there any hope of becoming a senior apprentice before the age of 16? "

Russell pursed his lips, and said a little uncomfortably: "I'm only studying the two in the divination department.

You should know that only by learning other spells can I become a high-level one. "

"There is hope, isn't it?" Carpenter knew Russell very well. He never liked to be too absolute when speaking. In this type of words, he basically felt that there was more than half of hope!
Russell nodded: "Well, there is still hope."

"If you can go in normally... then even if I paid money to go in, I won't be bullied?" Carpenter asked quickly.

"But there is a premise." Russell did not object as firmly as the previous two days this time, "You have to learn all the runes again before this.

I remember you had a sheer scarf?

Use that bit by bit to trace until you can form a correct track in your heart, and then write it yourself.

Write the runes as perfect as possible even when you spit them out, okay? "

Of course Carpenter could tell that these runes were indeed the key to Russell's ability to advance, so she was not a fool.

Although she was very reluctant to part with her only luxury item, she never felt that this item was more important than her future.

She nodded cautiously: "I will."

Russell patted her head: "Then I'll go to sleep, and I'll go back to the meditation room when I wake up, our time is running out!"
