Mortal Mage

He carefully calculated over and over again on sheets of rice paper for a long time, trying to get a more perfect formula to expand the power of the fire array.

"Sir, the porridge is cold. I heated it up for you."

Xun'er's voice sounded behind him, and Zhang Mingxuan nodded gently in response; "Well, okay, didn't I tell you not to come in without my permission? You should get some rest early."

"Okay, my lord."

Xun'er left the room.

"It is extremely difficult to draw the runes in this formation with just the strength of your arms."

“Its accuracy, amplitude, and fluctuations do not meet the requirements for calculation and settlement.”

Zhang Mingxuan studied it for a long time and came to a conclusion; "The rune is just a carrier. The way the spiritual power is transported inside the rune is the secret of the formation. This way of transporting spiritual power can be understood as software, and the rune is the hardware. I now have a rough understanding of the drawing method and basic logic of the hardware, but I cannot control the spiritual power arrangement structure inside the rune. In other words, I have mastered the hardware, but I don't have spiritual roots, so I can't implant software on the hardware."

"The previous imitation drawing, because it is similar to the basic control structure, does not even require software to run, just like a switch, which does not require software to drive it."

"Once it comes to advanced formations, such as designing a voice-activated switch, I won't be able to program the spiritual power inside the formation without spiritual power. So when I don't have any cultivation, it's impossible for me to do a deeper study of the formation."

Zhang Mingxuan was lost in thought, and suddenly he remembered something. It seemed that the Emperor Li Si had given him a breathing method yesterday. He hurriedly took it out from his body and opened it to have a look.

Zhang Mingxuan didn't know how long he had been thinking deeply, but when he heard the crowing of a rooster, it seemed that it was already the second half of the night.

"Sir, the porridge is cold, please drink it quickly!"

The voices of Yubin and Xuer suddenly sounded at the same time behind Zhang Mingxuan.

Zhang Mingxuan suddenly stood up and looked back, staring at the two tall and strong women; "What are you going to do!"

"Sir, the porridge is cold and it's getting late. Please drink it."

Yubin took a light step forward and handed the porridge in her hand to Zhang Mingxuan.

"I don't want to drink! Get out right now!"

Zhang Mingxuan took a step back and kicked the chair under his feet aside.

"Sir, if you don't drink, I'm afraid it won't work. We're worried that you'll get sick!"

A hint of hatred suddenly appeared in Xun'er's young eyes.

"presumptuous!"

Zhang Mingxuan shouted loudly, with an angry look on his face, and kicked the stool in front of the two women.

The two girls looked at each other, a fierce look flashed in their eyes, and suddenly pulled out two daggers from their waists; "My lord! If you don't want to drink the porridge, then you can only suffer a little!"

After saying that, the two women each held a dagger and stabbed Zhang Mingxuan at the same time. Zhang Mingxuan's pupils rapidly constricted, and he supported his body with one hand. With a "bang", he broke open the window in front of the table and jumped out of the window. At the same time, a bloody mark was cut on his left calf, followed by waves of sharp pain. He looked uneasy and fled in a hurry.

Xun'er climbed out of the window right after her, and Yubin quickly followed her out from the door of the ear room.

"I saved you two, why did you two want to kill me!"

Zhang Mingxuan bent over and covered his left calf and asked.

"You destroyed our country! Why shouldn't we kill you!"

The girl screamed hoarsely and stabbed at him at the same time. Zhang Mingxuan hurriedly retreated to the gate of the courtyard and wanted to open it, but found that it had been locked by the two women. His face turned pale instantly.

In an instant, Xun'er stabbed again with the dagger, but it was obvious that this girl was not a professional killer. The seemingly dangerous stab was actually just the level of an ordinary person. Zhang Mingxuan hurriedly turned over to avoid it, and then with a "clang", the dagger stabbed into the wooden door.
