My Magic Age

There was a wooden ladder in front of the bookshelf. Vice Dean Bruce slowly pushed the ladder and stopped at the corner of the wall. He looked up at it for a long time. Finally, he frowned and pointed at the thick magic book on the top. I said, "Climb up and help me bring down the magic book."

The wooden ladder looked very old. The edges and corners of the entire wooden ladder had been polished very smooth. The entire ladder was covered with a layer of patina, and the surface was smooth and discernible. I stretched out my hand to hold the ladder, and felt that it was cold in my hands. It is made of ironwood.

Climbing up the wooden ladder, I found at the top that the magic book here looked like it had not been touched for a long time and was covered with thick dust.

Pulling out the magic book, it became dusty for a while.

This book is very heavy, and there is a very hard layer of monster skin on the surface. No wonder Vice Dean Bruce asked me to take it down. I lightly dusted the dust on the book and slowly climbed down the ladder while holding the book. After stepping back, Bruce looked at the magic emblem pattern on the cover of the magic book. He stretched out his hand to fumble on the uneven texture for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Yes, this is it."

He reached out and took the book, held it in his hand, turned around and walked to the test stand, placed the magic book on the test stand, glanced at me, and then waved to me, asking me to stand opposite him. .

Open the ancient magic book, which is a book that records some ancient magic rituals. The patterns of magic altars appear many times on the parchment pages inside.

"I thought I didn't have to open it before I died!" Bruce lowered his head and said to me. He looked at the pages with a complicated expression, feeling a little tangled in his heart.

It was as if this book had some huge appeal that made him unable to control his desire to read it, but he was a little afraid to read it, as if there was a devil hidden in this book.

"What do those symbols represent?" I asked Bruce curiously, pointing to some magic patterns on the pages of the book.

"Rebirth, resurrection, reincarnation...the whole book talks about these. The sages of soul science solved the mystery of the lich's immortality. They worked together to write a strange book about resurrection. However, this book was A Lich King has cursed that anyone who gains power from this magic book will fall to the underworld and become an undead lich after death. It is said that the author of this book became a corpse witch after his death. "Bruce raised his eyebrows and looked at me before saying.

I looked stern. The courses at the Magic Academy have not yet touched on the knowledge of the soul, but there are always many things that are difficult to explain in this ancient mysterious theory.

Bruce pointed to the simplest symbol, looked at me, and then said to me: "This symbol represents death. This is the text of the undead tribe. Translated, this sentence can be understood as: In fact, when you truly gain eternal life, , death is not a relief."

After opening the magic book, I discovered that the book only had a few dozen pages, but the parchment pages were a bit thick, making the entire magic book look very heavy.

Vice Dean Bruce fixed his hand on the page of a book with a huge altar painted on it. His eyes were bloodshot, his expression was a little anxious, and the veins on his forehead popped out, as if he couldn't control himself. I can't understand Bruce's state at this moment. He should have been affected by the content in the book and became like this.

Just as I was thinking about whether to wake up Dean Bruce who was immersed in the magic book, Vice Dean Bruce finally exhaled slowly at this moment. He closed his eyes to calm his mind, and then slowly He opened his eyes, and the red threads in his eyes slowly faded.

Then he looked at me, pressed one hand on the pattern on the page, and said to me: "What is recorded here is the method of awakening the incomplete soul. However, these ancient books have been passed down to this day for who knows how many years. As for this kind of There is no way to verify whether the method is feasible, and the conditions required are so stringent that you will have to pay a high price..."

"I won't give up. Just tell me, Lord Bruce."

"Well, in that case, I won't say much else. Come and see here..." Vice Dean Bruce pointed to a line of text on the page with his old finger and said to me: "Here is something about awakening the soul. You need to bring together the three major elements, the magic weapon, the gem, and the magic circle, in order to awaken your sister's soul."

Bruce said: "First of all, you need a 'soul horn'. According to the book, this horn is made from the head of the sea monster in the endless sea. It can make the awake soul fall into a deep sleep, and it can also put the sleeping soul into a deep sleep." The soul awakens again, and I remember that the palace of the Janna Sea Clan has such a soul horn. During the battle in Haiyinsi City eighteen years ago, the Janna royal family once appeared with that horn. "

He glanced at me lightly from the corner of his eyes and continued: "Secondly, you need to have a 'soul gem'. This soul gem will become the carrier for storing souls. Those incomplete souls will be slowly repaired in the soul gem to Become a complete soul. The so-called soul gem is condensed from the soul fire in the skull of the undead lich. This thing also appeared in the Imperial City Auction House a while ago, but you'd better be mentally prepared for this kind of gem. Very expensive.”

"Finally, there needs to be an altar that can perform ancient magic rituals. The so-called soul altar is an ancient relic according to the book. This kind of altar should belong to the category of miracles. Unfortunately, I have not heard of the Green Empire. This kind of altar has appeared anywhere, so you need to look for it slowly. Maybe the adventurers in the tavern will know some information, but you have to be careful and carefully distinguish what they say. "

After listening to this, my head started to feel a little big. The soul gems were okay, at least they had appeared in the auction house, but the 'soul horn' and 'ancient altar' were things I had never heard of. Where should I look for them? ah!

There was an indescribable frustration in my heart. I finally understood why Vice Dean Bruce repeatedly reminded me to choose my own reward again. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear the underlying meaning of his words, or maybe I was too persistent. Even if it was Knowing that this matter is extremely difficult, we must move forward.

I looked at Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit beside me with dejection, thinking that the matter had come to this, and I no longer allowed any thoughts of retreat.

Maybe we should go to those taverns and the Thieves Guild to get some information about this.

When I was stunned, I heard Deputy Dean Bruce say: "If you have the opportunity to gather these together, and finally there is a small awakening ceremony, I will translate the process of the ceremony and the required magic spells into the Green Empire language And help you copy it down. The ceremony also requires you to draw a not very complicated magic pattern array on the altar, but isn't drawing magic pattern arrays your best?"

Hearing Bruce's question, I nodded, and then he handed me a large piece of magic parchment, pointed to a magic pattern array on the page, and said to me: "Come and trace this array! "

…

Coming out of Vice Dean Bruce's laboratory, he looked at the water elemental spirit of Sister Guoguo beside him with some speechlessness. He stood beside her, took a deep breath, and said to her: "Sister Guoguo, I It will definitely wake you up.”

Walking through the corridors of the Magic Research Institute, walking towards Yerkes' magic laboratory, Yerkes said he wanted me to find him.

There were many magician assistants who greeted me along the way. Most of them were assistants of other magic scholars. Occasionally, when we were resting, we could chat for a while in the garden of the academy courtyard.

Later, I learned from these young magicians that the assistants of Scholar Yerkes were once a hot spot among the assistants. The reason was that although Scholar Yerkes had unconstrained inspiration, he He is a handicapped person who cannot completely draw even the simplest magic pattern, so the assistant of Scholar Yerkes has the opportunity to come into contact with the drawing work of the magic pattern array.

This is a great opportunity for magicians who want to become inscription masters, so many young magicians with experience in making magic scrolls want to be assistants under Yerkes.

However, in the past year, more than a dozen young magicians have been scolded and run away by Yerkes scholars, and I became the ultimate beneficiary.

Climbing up to the second-floor terrace, he opened the very familiar laboratory door and stepped inside.

Yerkes was bending over, carefully wiping a piece of hard leather armor with a brush. This piece of hard leather armor was engraved with magic lines. There was a groove inlaid with magic crystals on the chest, about the size of an egg. The earthy yellow gold crystals are squarely embedded in it, and a trace of the earth magic element is constantly spreading outward from the leather armor.

Although the material and shape of this leather armor are slightly different from those of chain armor, when I saw the familiar magic patterns on the leather armor, I immediately recognized that the magic pattern array engraved on this leather armor was not the "Earth of the Earth". Shield'?

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Scholar Yerkes did not look back and continued to focus on carefully maintaining the breastplate made of magic patterns with a brush.

He asked casually: "You're back? Is everything done? Did Bruce tell you the answer you wanted?"

"Well!" I pulled a chair beside him and sat down, and then said with a wry smile: "But things are not very optimistic, and we need to prepare some things. Those things are very rare, and it will probably be difficult to find them. !”

"But there is hope after all, isn't there?" He smiled slightly and comforted me.

This sentence said by the Yerkes scholar has entered my heart. It is indeed the case. At least now I have hope and a goal to strive for.

I smiled slightly and said, "Yeah!"

"It seems that my worries are unnecessary. You don't need anyone else's comfort at all, because you know very well what you are doing!" Yerkes put down the brush in his hand, straightened his waist, and stretched his sore and numb body a little. Body, put his hand on my shoulder and said happily.

"Actually, I thought very simply. I just wanted to wake her up. She must be asleep!" I looked at Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit and said softly.

Yerkes also sat down. He took a sip of water and said, "I heard that in a few days, you will go to other planes with the academy to experience?"

I said: "In the Hierro plane, the Empire's Grand Duke of Samoyed is now responsible for opening up the territory. We are going to hunt monsters in the unknown area over there."

Yerkes took off the leather armor hanging on the shelf and handed it into my hands.

Said to me: "I said, I will give you a gift before you go to the plane to experience. Look! It is this leather armor. It is my first work, but Bruce said that this breastplate needs to be made into a A piece of metal armor, which would make the entire set of magic patterns look more heroic, so it was kept. This is a leather breastplate magic pattern structure with an 'Earth Shield', which can be used when you need to protect it. When the time comes, activate the three 'earth shields' to protect you."

"Shield of the Earth?" I thought he would give me a magic robe or something like that, but I didn't expect it to be a leather breastplate with magic patterns, and it also had very obvious defensive magic skills. This leather armor It might be more suitable to wear it on a swordsman or a ranger.

Yerkes has always been very proud of his proud work, and Vice Dean Bruce also admires the magic pattern structure he designed, but if he just draws such a magic on this leather breastplate, Skills, then there seems to be nothing strange about this magic pattern structure.

Scholar Yerkes proudly introduced to me: "Hmm~ Yes, among the four elemental shields of atmospheric shield, fire shield, ice shield, and earth shield, atmospheric shield will resist incoming attacks. External magic, the fire shield can burn the opponent when he attacks, and the ice shield will slow down the opponent, but the earth shield has the strongest defense. "

"But if this magic pattern structure is just that simple, then there is nothing strange about it. In fact, what really makes it unique is that it has a very special lining!" Yerkes The scholar unbuttoned the leather armor and showed me that the inside of this magic pattern structure was actually lined with a very soft leather.

Then, I saw a simplified 'Magic Quick Recovery' magic pattern array on the lining, and it turned out to be like this!

"If it is provided to warrior professionals, the magic pattern array on the lining of this armor will become a 'quick recovery of physical strength' magic pattern array. This is it. I let these two skills be integrated into the same magic pattern In terms of construction, it looks better than the ordinary magic pattern construction. A little bit, but it doesn't actually have much effect." Scholar Yerkes laughed at himself and added: "It's just sensationalism, but after all, there is something special about it. Now those young people from noble families. We are so poor that all we have left is money!”

"You always think of yourself as a melee mage. I heard that you are unwilling to use a staff in battle, preferring to rush forward with an ax?" Scholar Yerkes glanced at me and then asked.

I smiled and accepted it as acquiescence.

Yerkes asked me again: "And I heard that you also joined a society that advocates the 'fusion of close combat and magic skills'?"

I explained: "Sword and Rose Club, the purpose of our club is to defeat the enemy by combining combat skills during battle and spell casting!"

Finally, he put the leather armor into my hand and said: "Although I don't agree with this point of view, since this is your choice, then I will support you. This hard leather armor suitable for close combat is given as a gift." Give it to you!”
