My Magic Age

Standing in front of the rows of giant bookshelves, I felt as if I was in a sea of ​​books. The visual shock was deeply implanted in my heart.

Several magic brooms shining with magical light wander silently in the air. These brooms seem to have come to life, silently cleaning the dust on the bookshelves at high places. A huge tripod ladder can take students to the top of the bookshelves. At the bottom, the metal wheels under the wooden tripod ladder were stuck in the metal guide rails on the ground, and they turned completely silently. I saw a female magician wearing black tortoiseshell glasses, easily turning a tripod ladder. Push away.

Only then did I suddenly realize that I was in the library of the Royal Academy of Magic.

Carefully looking at the layout of the library, I saw a huge sign on the top of the bookshelf. A magic rune plate coated with a layer of mithril was engraved with huge elemental symbols: the four most basic elements of fire, water, earth and wind. Magic elements, all magic is derived from these four basic magic elements, such as ice, thunder and lightning, nature, space, light, etc. These derived advanced magic elements, for us magicians, The four basic elements are the basic structure of the magical world.

There are still many powers outside the four magics, but they can no longer be called elemental powers, such as undead magic, curse magic, summoning magic, sacred magic, poison magic, bone magic, and life. Magic, dark magic, etc. Although these heretical academics exist objectively, it is difficult to find magic books on these aspects in the first-floor library.

The bookshelves in the library are clearly divided into major parts: fire, water, earth, and wind.

Among them, the magic books about fire magic in the first-floor library occupy about one-third of the entire bookshelf, and the remaining bookshelves storing water magic, earth magic, and wind magic each occupy about one-fifth. In terms of book collection, it can be said that the fire magic inheritance in the Royal Academy of Magic is the richest, and the other three basic magic book collections are similar.

Of course, the most valuable thing about these magic books in the Royal Magic Library is that the library has collected many great works that explain and explain magic skills in detail. Of course, there are also many magic books in these magic books that introduce magic skills in detail, but these magic skills Books require a certain amount of points to be borrowed and studied carefully. In addition, points from the Royal Academy of Magic are paid. Junior magicians like us can go to the librarian to read the magic spells and spells in this magic book. The magic pattern array is printed out.

I walked among the bookshelves in the fire magic area, and I found that on the first floor of the library, most of the books were first-level magic. In these magic books, there were a large number of first-level high-level magic books, and some Magic skills improved by magicians. I randomly pulled out a book on the most basic fireball magic skill. There are many magic books in this area that explain the most basic magic 'Fireball'. But the one I pulled out at random contained dozens of pages of magic parchment. , various complicated magic runes are built on it, and it seems that the fireball spell is very detailed. All the magic runes are separated and reassembled into a brand new 'Fireball Technique'. According to the introduction in the book: the improved Fireball Technique will increase its power by about one-tenth, and it will consume less magic power. Not much at all, the only thing that needs to be paid is that the magic spells and magic pattern arrays become a little more complicated.

There are hundreds of magic books like this that are aimed at improving the fireball technique on the bookshelves. Some increase attack distance, some increase magic power, some increase spell casting speed, some reduce the need for magic power, etc. However, these magic books all have the same characteristics. After strengthening one attribute, they will Sacrificing some characteristics on the other hand, this fully proves that energy is conserved. It can be said that the basic magic 'Fireball Technique' has been studied very thoroughly by these students in the Royal Academy of Magic.

On the bookshelf under each magic book, there is a detailed nameplate with the details of the book. The librarian here is very interesting. He will rate each magic book into five stars. I took a rough look and found that the magic books on the first floor of the library usually have one star or half star, but rarely There are more than one and a half magic books. Each magic book will be marked with a specific number of pages. The number of points required to borrow this magic book is also marked on the sign.

That's right, the magic books in the Royal Academy of Magic's library are all borrowed for a fee, and each book requires a certain fee. Moreover, the library does not charge gold coins and magic crystals, but points in the magic medal that appear on the school emblem. , everyone has their own unique magic badge. I checked my magic badge and found that I actually had ten points.

There is a magic book on the bookshelf about the "Energy Amplification Theory of Fire Magic Energy Scrolls". My heart moved. Many times I will still draw some magic energy scrolls. These scrolls are cheaper than using magic crystals. Many magic items have them. , if you don’t consider the size of the item itself, there are many magic items Products all use magic energy scrolls as their basic energy source. However, this magic energy scroll also has its own shortcomings, that is, the energy on the scroll will gradually dissipate and be lost over time. This loss ratio is It depends on the amount of stabilizer in the magic ink used in the energy scroll.

So, just like the magic rune plate under the water tank in the bathroom of my dormitory room, the energy source of the final driving force chose the magic crystal fragments, also because of these reasons.

I carefully looked at the points required on the sign, and my heart sank. Just such a simple magic book actually requires five points to borrow it. It seems that the ten points in my magic badge can only borrow two magic books on the first floor of the library at best.

Then when I passed the wind magic area, I reached out and pulled out a magic skill book about "Wind Blade". I was surprised to find that such a basic "Wind Blade" magic skill book actually required ten points.

It seems that the points in the badge are really not enough to stay in the library for a whole morning.

There is one last area in the library on the first floor that does not belong to the four magics. This is the magician's life occupation area. There are many magic books here that are detailed explanations of the most advanced magic herbs or magic ores. Many of these magic books will systematically introduce the magic herbs grown in a specific area or the magic ores that exist. These books make me feel very practical. I think if I have the opportunity to go to a certain place for training, I must go to the library to read these books, so that I can know what specialties there are in that area.

Unexpectedly, just a simple stroll in the hall of the first floor library took almost a whole morning, and I didn't find a magic book about soul awakening at all. It seems that there should be no books on those aspects on the first floor of the library. I sighed softly. I didn't find any of the books on the note that Heidi gave me. Maybe I should go to the library administrator for consultation.

Seeing me walk out of the borrowing area empty-handed, the female librarians standing by the registration desk looked at me with contempt.

Looking at the bright second-year magic badges on their chests, I could feel the bursting and rich magic elements in their bodies. Only then did I realize that they should be senior female magicians in the Royal Magic Academy doing part-time jobs. Maybe this part-time job can earn some magic points!

I walked up and asked a magician who looked like she had a few light freckles on her face and a fair complexion: "Senior, please, I want to check if there are any books about water elemental spirits in the library."

The chubby girl obviously liked to laugh. She pursed her lips slightly at me, and seemed to want to tease me, but she finally held back.

She flipped her long eyelash brush, trying to make herself look more amiable, and said to me patiently: "As far as I know, there should be no books about this in the library on the first floor. Maybe there will be some in the library on the second floor. You can try it!"

After that, the fat girl held back her laughter and turned her face away as if nothing had happened. She didn't want to say another word to me. She was really proud enough.

After leaving the first floor of the library, I saw the stairs leading to the second floor from the side of the entrance, and I was about to step up.

"Hey... Hey! Please show your magic badge. You are a new student in the college, right? You can't go up from here. The second floor of the library is temporarily closed to new students. If you want to borrow magic books on the second floor of the library, you need at least 100 points." A librarian guarding the stairs stopped me directly and said to me impatiently. He widened his eyes and spoke in a very impolite tone, as if he would get angry instantly if I argued.

I didn't want to cause trouble here, so I quickly said that I just wanted to stroll around and leave immediately.

It seems that I am not the first reckless person. Just as I left, two more magic freshmen who were walking together tried to climb the stairs, and were stopped by the librarian with the same words.

I was just thinking that if I could be a librarian in the library, I might have the opportunity to borrow free magic books. Now it seems that it is not the case at all. The work here is so boring. It seems that I can't do it at all.

Walking out of the library and bypassing the main entrance of the Royal Magic Academy, I felt that the Royal Magic Academy was really big. It took a long time to walk to the living area where the Minotaur Luka lived.

Minotaur Luka lived in a circular building. The rooms on the facade of the circular building were like neatly arranged honeycombs, and in the middle of the circular building was a square as big as half a football field. There was only a well in the center of the square, and the surrounding area was flat and empty yellow earth rammed ground.

In Minotaur Luka's room, I didn't see Luka's figure. I passed the corridor and thought that Luka might go out to get food.

Even if this guy eats four meals a day, he still shouts that he is hungry sometimes. Standing in the inner corridor of the circular building in the living area, he leans on the low wall of the corridor with his hands and looks down. There are actually many people gathered in the center of the square in the center of the circle. Those people surrounded several people in the middle, and there seemed to be people fighting in the middle.

As far as I could see, I actually saw the figure of Minotaur Luka. He was surrounded by the group of people in the center, fighting with three warriors wearing metal armor.

Ignoring the surprised looks of the followers in other corridors, I supported myself on the low wall in the inner corridor with one hand and jumped directly from the building more than ten meters high. Without any buffer, I landed directly in the flowerbed, stepped on a bush that had just sprouted new buds, and strode to the center of the square.

The fighting and shouting in the center of the square came clearly into my ears. I was worried that the minotaur Luka would suffer a loss when fighting one against three. After all, the other party had armor on them, and Luka did not use his double-edged axe, but used his iron fist. The fist hit the armor and made a dull sound of "bang bang bang".

From a distance, I heard someone standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck to look inside from behind the crowd. The square here has been surrounded by many people, and the people standing behind are making a fuss. I don't know when this boring companion life will end, so as long as there is something new, the followers who seem to have nothing to do in the building will gather together to watch the fun.

At this moment, someone was shouting: "Hit him, go around behind him, this big guy must not be so flexible!"

There were several muffled groans from inside, and it sounded like someone was at a disadvantage.

"How stupid! You have armor, use your arm armor to resist a punch and knock him down. There are three of you, what are you afraid of? Go ahead, pin him to the ground and beat him!" Someone was giving advice.

I had already run to the back of the crowd and wanted to squeeze in, but the onlookers were much stronger than me, so I was blocked outside for a while and couldn't squeeze in at all.

But it seemed that these people watching the excitement Not everyone was on the side of the three warriors. There were also voices reminding Luka: "Hey, this minotaur is really powerful. Big guy, be careful behind you."

I also heard someone talking on the side: "Hey, I've never seen an orc follower before. Who signed the contract with this minotaur? An orc follower looks really impressive!"

In a hurry, I squeezed forward, then held the 'Tiger Eye Stone Drum Totem' in both hands, and generously sent a stream of pure fire magic elements into the stone drum. Then an irresistible dark red fire ring suddenly surged out of the stone drum totem, and a powerful force immediately pushed the people around me to the ground...
