Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 117 The Nature of Magic

"Brian, I'm a little confused." Kearney sat on the hard armchair, put her hands on the table, looked at Brian who was standing opposite, and asked:
"Didn't you just say that I am a God's Blessing Warlock, because my ability to cast divine spells is an innate talent, but you plan to do tests and inspections. What's going on? I don't understand."

"Be patient, princess, this kind of test is mainly to test your spellcasting talent." Brian met the princess's confused eyes and explained in a calm tone:

"It's like, although you have powerful power, I don't know if you have the talent to control it easily."

"Okay..." Kearni expressed her understanding, but said curiously: "So, there will definitely be two situations in this test, nothing more than good and bad, so what are you going to do?"

After finishing speaking, she winked playfully at Brian, but the other party ignored him directly, which made her elongate her pretty face angrily.

"It's very simple." Brian took a stack of content for the test that he had already prepared in his hands, and his posture was like a teacher entering the examination room with papers.

"If your spellcasting talent is not very good, I will not let you get in touch with this knowledge for the time being. After all, this kind of talent can be made up for through hard work. If you have this kind of talent and are willing to learn, I can first Teach you the most basic magic knowledge, and help you get on the path of magic faster."

He was already very clear about Princess Kearney's bloodline talent.

Just like he explained to the princess, having blood talent does not necessarily mean that he can manipulate magic with ease, so what he needs to do now is to test her spellcasting talent.

Can I say that I don't want to learn?Kearney looked at Brian's calm eyes and thought.

However, she did not say it, but asked curiously: "What is 'basic' magic knowledge."

"It's the easiest," Brian replied.

"What's the difference between you talking nonsense, your answer is too perfunctory." Kearney handed Brian a beautiful white eye, and muttered in a low voice.

"Okay, then let's not waste time on these nonsense, we can start." Brian deliberately put a serious face, put a stack of test papers in front of Kearney, and threw her a charcoal pencil.

Kearni looked at Brian's serious and rigid expression, and it immediately reminded her of the Grand Master Bowen who taught her literacy and historical knowledge when she was a child.

This made her shrink her eyes instinctively, and followed suit honestly.

"What is this for?" Korni opened the first test paper and looked at the dense owls. She suddenly felt a headache, so she asked Brian.

"There is a kitten's head hidden among the 200 owls. You have to find it within 5 minutes."

"...Is this a game of peek-a-boo?" Kearney smiled mischievously at Brian: "What does this have to do with spellcasting talent?"

"This is a preliminary test of your insight, and it will have a great impact on your practice of spellcasting concentration and spell recognition in the future." Brian replied: "So, don't talk nonsense, and concentrate on finding it."

"Okay." Korni responded, and began to follow Brian's request, concentrating on finding the only cat head.

Time passed silently and unconsciously, only the blazing flame in the copper brazier was still flickering bright and warm fire tirelessly.

Brian remained silent for a long time, just staring at the princess's focused and serious look in deep thought.

The mischievous smile on the corner of Princess Kearney's mouth gradually receded as she flipped through the test papers until it disappeared without a trace.

She used the charcoal pencil in her hand to circle the head of the kitten one after another, and found eleven differences in the two identical background paintings.

Then it is to walk out of the maze composed of curved lines and spots, and layer upon layer of spatial structure, and then there is a stick figure that disappears at a glance, and then let her draw it intact with the help of memory...
In the end, after she wrote from 1 to 500 stroke by stroke, neatly, without any corrections or blemishes, she finally completed all her answer sheets.

"How is it?" Kearney rubbed her sore neck and back, looking expectantly at Brian who was seriously grading the test paper.

It wasn't until this time that she realized that Brian's serious face was also very attractive to her, which made her feel a spontaneous maturity in him.

"Not bad." Brian flipped through the entire test paper at an extremely fast speed and said calmly: "You have completed my test and you can try to learn the most basic magic knowledge."

Although he said so on the lips, he was still very surprised by Princess Kearney's perfect answer.

However, in order to prevent her little tail from sticking up, she could only choose to do so.

"Now you can tell me." Brian looked at the little depressed princess, and said solemnly, "Are you willing to learn the most basic magic knowledge in advance?"

Learning magic knowledge?

Corney was taken aback.

As the future heir of the kingdom, she knows that as she nods in agreement, it means that the little leisure time she has left will be taken up by magic subjects.

But seeing Brian attaching so much importance to magic made her faintly feel the importance of this power to the future.

Thinking of this, she put her elbows on the table, leaned on her cheek, and asked curiously: "Brian, do you know what 'magic' is?"

Kearney thinks that magic is more like an art, a great and outstanding art.Because it creates something beautiful and extraordinary.

And it is an artistic talent that only a few people can have.

As for those without talents, they can only look at the masterpieces of artists with envy and envy, and at the same time sigh in their hearts: Without these creations, without such talents, how dull the world would be.

She was undoubtedly the lucky one.

So she wanted to know what magic was in Brian's eyes and why he loved magic so much.

What exactly is 'magic'?
Brian was stunned by the princess's sudden questioning.

It's not that he doesn't know what magic is, it's just that the question is too general.

For a novice, it is difficult to answer an answer that makes them easy to understand and yearn for.

"Magic is more like a science. In order to master magic, talent and innate ability are not enough. Years of painstaking study and hard research are crucial, and patience and self-control are also indispensable." Brian according to himself With an understanding of magic, he said seriously to Kearney:

"That is to say, learning magic is equivalent to learning knowledge and learning. A smart and sound mind, coupled with rich experience, countless trials and exercises, is the key to mastering magic.

Because it plays a vital role in the progress, evolution and change of the world.Only by following the magic can we continue to discover more perfect worlds and explore the mysteries of the stars and multiverse. "

"Explore the mysteries of the stars and the multiverse?" Princess Kearney opened her mouth in surprise, looking in disbelief at the calm and sensible Brian.

From his expression, it can be seen that he is not blindly bragging like the drunken dwarves and halflings in the tavern, but he is really confiding his heart to her.

In fact, Kearney originally thought that Brian learned magic just to gain powerful power and win a higher status for himself.

She even thought that the reason he likes her is for her own identity and status, but what she didn't expect was that his goal was beyond imagination.

She could clearly feel that even her goal of becoming the ruler of the kingdom might be as small as a speck of dust in the multiverse in Brian's eyes, which made her secretly make up her mind.

"Bryan, I am willing to learn magic knowledge from you." Kearney got up from the chair and looked at Brian with a bright smile in her bright water blue eyes.

Bryan couldn't help being startled, seeing the firmness in Kearney's smiling eyes, he knew that this little girl understood the true meaning of his words, and was guided by him only from the perspective of this small world I successfully opened it for a few minutes.

This made him feel a little relieved towards Kearney.

After all, his requirements for a partner are not just as simple as a vase.

Since Ko Erni has this kind of talent, he naturally wants to guide her step by step to broaden her horizons, instead of being limited to the throne of a small world.

Brian did not reply, but walked to the princess, stretched out his hand to caress her delicate and pretty face, and gave her a smile of recognition and affirmation.

Kirni could feel the rough feeling of Brian's palm touching her cheek, but for some reason, she felt an indescribable tenderness from it, which made her lower her gaze, and a blush shyly appeared on her pretty face .

Brian chuckled lightly, pressed the princess's shoulders and asked her to sit on the chair again.

Then I picked three books from the neatly placed books and handed them to her, "These three books are the most basic knowledge of magic, and they are written in great detail. Once you understand them all, you can easily step into the path of magic."

"Didn't you teach me yourself?" Kearney looked at the books in front of her, "The Essence of Magic", "The Power of the Elements", and "Basic Magic", and looked at him puzzled.

"Bryan, I have already thought about it. If my father agrees to our engagement, I will let him rebuild a tower here for you. Then I can come to you every day to learn magic knowledge."

"Of course I know what you said." Brian gave her an apologetic look.

"But you also have to understand that I also have my own things to do, so after everything is over, I need to leave for a while before I come back to you."

"Okay... I see." Kearney replied disappointedly, flipping through the three magic books on the desk without much interest.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and raised her head to ask Brian, "Oh, by the way, Brian, Grandpa Morelle is also a wizard. If there is anything I don't understand, can I ask him?" Ask for advice."

Kearney thought that Brian would readily agree because of his idea.

However, when she looked into his eyes, she realized she was wrong.

Brian's originally calm gaze suddenly flashed a coldness when she mentioned Wizard Morele, which made her heart tremble, and she couldn't figure out why.

"Your Highness, please remember one thing." Brian reminded her solemnly:

"In some people's eyes, magic can also be the embodiment of evil, the key to open the forbidden door. That door lurks nightmares, fears and unimaginable disasters. The enemy waits behind the door-pure and evil The power of destruction will not only destroy the person who opens the door, but also destroy the entire world.

No matter what the world is, there will always be people who want to open the door, and one day, someone will make a mistake, so the end of the world is inevitable.In other words, magic is also a weapon of evil and an instrument of revenge.So, for your safety, I don't want you to learn magic from any wizard in this world. "

"But..." Kearni thought for a while, but when he met Brian's unquestionable gaze, he was defeated again. He nodded and showed a smile: "I know what to do."

The brief communication between the two of them made her realize that Wizard Morelle's magic knowledge could not be compared with that of Brian, otherwise, he would not be helpless against the sleeping self.

Therefore, she blindly believed that as long as she listened to Brian, she must be right.

"That's good." Brian stroked the princess's soft long hair, and said earnestly: "I hope you can keep this in mind."

The main reason why he spoke so resolutely was that most of the warlocks in this world were from the evil camp.

Due to the ban of the magic net, every sorcerer used simple rituals to awaken the blood and inherited the original magic power that had not been purified by the magic net, more or less had some sequelae.

Therefore, the personalities of most warlocks will be distorted due to the influence of the original magic power.

"Bryan, why are all the authors of these magic books elves?" Kearney looked through the magic books carefully and raised a question in her heart.

"Because the magic civilization of elves is much higher than that of humans." Brian replied casually.

"Their magic civilization is so high, why didn't they rule the world?" Kearni asked again.

"Because of their long lifespan, their character has become a bit lazy. The thing they like most is to be happy, not to make trouble." Brian explained:
"Although human wizards are not as good as elves in spells, they are always looking for lost spells and trying to create new powerful magic, but elf wizards just smile and say that they already know everything, but they just don't bother to do it." , and by the time they realized the crisis, it was too late."

"Because of their lazy character, they finally ushered in the end of the era, right?" Kearney expressed her opinion, "As recorded in the human chronicle, the elves have not escaped the arrangement of fate."

"It's not like that." Brian shook his head slightly, he didn't want to continue on this topic, "The so-called 'fate arrangement' is nothing but the self-consolation of obedient people. In fact, everyone can forge their own destiny. "

"Really? It turns out that fate can also be resisted." Kearney widened her eyes and said in surprise.

It was the first time she had heard such a novel statement, and it was still from Brian.

"No one can escape fate!"

A deep, firm and decisive voice came from behind the two without warning.
