The days of learning black magic in another world

The little duke turned his head and ran away in fright, Riemann snapped his fingers, and the door of the study closed in response.

The bear kid was lying on the closed door, which couldn't be opened at all, shivering, and could only hear the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer.

Riemann: "It is true that ordinary people cannot resist a magician, but what is the little duke afraid of? I am not a magician."

Just as the little duke was about to say angrily, "You're a liar!", he suddenly remembered that if the other party was really a magician, he couldn't afford to offend him... so he held back his words.

He could only stare at Riemann with his big blue eyes in vain.

Riemann smiled: "What I said is true. I'm really not a magician. If you don't believe me, ask Your Excellency Monroe. Mr. Monroe is a wise man of Ulan. He will not lie to you, will he?"

Achill Monroe watched with interest the students he had just accepted frighten the children, and when he heard Riemann asking him to testify, he nodded with a smile.

Little Duke: "Then why, why did you..."

Riemann: "Because I am a magician. Although a magician is not a magician, I can do what a magician can do."

He said this very softly, but loudly, with calm confidence in his eyebrows and eyes, which shocked even Rock Fernandi, a super noble n generation who had seen the king [-] times.

"Dear young duke, do you want to be a magician?"

The little duke's eyes immediately rolled up, and then he straightened his back: "Of course!"

Riemann: "Oh? But I hardly accept students..."

The little duke immediately turned to look at Duke Fernandi: "Father! Hurry up! Order him to be my tutor. Haven't you been looking for a tutor for me? Just him!"

Duke Fernandi said, "Okay, okay...", which is completely habitual. When I saw Riemann's reminder gesture, I remembered what they had discussed before, so he said awkwardly: "I also want to hire this The warrior will be your tutor, but he is a student of Mr. Monroe, so he is very busy..."

The little duke immediately became anxious: "Aren't you a duke? Didn't you say that everyone except the king and the pope will listen to you? Why are you so useless!"

Fernandi looked up at the sky, he didn't really want to lose face in front of outsiders, but when he thought that Riemann was about to become Locke's tutor, he would see this kind of scene sooner or later, alas...forget it...

Riemann pretended that he did not hear the conversation, and said with a smile: "If the little duke must learn magic with me, it is not impossible, but the skills of a magician are not easy to learn. The person who taught me magic once said that I am a magician. The most talented guy he's ever seen, but even me, it took years to get to where I am today..."

"As for you, the little duke, your talent is not bad, second only to my level, but just like a brave man has to undergo many tests to save the princess from the dragon, on the road to become a magician, There are also layers of obstacles and tests, the problem now is—"

"Dear young duke, are you willing to accept these tests like a brave man?"

Rocco Fernandi rolled his eyes and immediately felt complacent. Isn't this the beginning of a standard adventure story?The brave man (he) of noble origin met a mysterious teacher who taught him all the skills and passed away. Then he embarked on an adventure to save the princess! ——Although the king has not given birth to a princess yet, no one can be captured by the dragon, but it doesn't matter, he will go to urge the king when he turns back.

So he tried his best to recall the lines that the brave man in the drama should have at this time, and held back for a long time before he could say: "Please test me! Whether it is a dragon or a flame, I will never back down!"

Riemann: "Excellent."

It's really great, the brat is too energetic to have time to think about things, as for how to spend his energy, isn't it simple?

Therefore, on the first day of Riemann's first job as a tutor at the Duke's house, the little Duke had a good experience of what is called a variety of nonsense training.

"The magician's first lesson, using cards."

Riemann took out a deck of playing cards he made himself (the fifteen days in the carriage were too boring, in front of Monroe, he did not dare to train magic skills, and there was almost nothing to do in the interval between meditation times , he made poker, Monroe also likes this kind of game very much, and praised him for his mathematical thinking), the material used is not paper, because Wulang’s paper is too soft, if you really want to follow the tradition of playing cards, Many things can't be performed, so he chose a more elastic metal.

With a sound of "咻", the card flew out of Riemann's hand, and flew past Rock Fernandi's ear, and with a sound of "咚", it was forcibly chiseled into the wooden table behind him.

Locke stared at the card with wide eyes: "I want to learn this!"

Riemann: "Of course, I showed you just to let you learn, otherwise why would I show this?"

"This is my first test. There is no time limit. When you can practice to fly the cards into the wooden board with your bare hands, you can accept the second test."

"Take care of my movements, I only demonstrate twice."

With a "beep", another card was inserted into the wooden board at the same angle, exactly parallel to the previous one.

Riemann stepped forward and took out the two cards, and handed them to the little duke along with the other cards in his hand.

"Practice by yourself, and come to me when you are done."

Riemann has full confidence that this set of rhetoric can tie the little duke. In the era of the explosion of entertainment in the 21st century, there are children who practice playing cards because they think they are handsome after watching TV dramas. The second disease, when I was a child, I also learned hidden weapons hard, and even got a cold from punching in the waterfall in the back mountain of my hometown, so children are really easy to deceive, as long as they are given an illusory target that looks cool enough.

Riemann glanced with satisfaction at the young duke who had suddenly ignited his fighting spirit, turned and left the study. His Excellency the duke and Mr. Monroe had already left together, and it was time for him to go to his temporary residence for a rest. After a fifteen-day long journey, Almost boiled him to death as a modern man.

After entering the Duke's Palace with Riemann, Adi, who hadn't made any sound, suddenly said:

"Mr. Riemann!"

Riemann froze for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "What's wrong, Adi?"

Adi's expression was complicated, and it took a while to pluck up the courage to look up at Riemann: "Mr. Riemann... I also want to accept this kind of test, I know I am not worthy to be compared with the little duke, and I also know that I have not done it for you. It is too greedy to think about your teachings after serving for so long, but please give me a chance, I will definitely complete this test before the little duke succeeds!"

Riemann smiled, and he touched Adi's fluffy and soft hair, feeling good: "Adi, I didn't treat you differently because I valued the little duke more, and I didn't teach you anything before, and it wasn't because I wanted to first Get paid for your services."

"Actually, I wanted to teach you from the most basic content, so I spent some time making this set of cards, but... this set of cards is not as useful as I demonstrated to the little duke."

Riemann drew out one of the cards and pressed it in his palm: "The basic skill of a magician is quick hands, look."

In the blink of an eye, the cards in Riemann's hand disappeared: "This is what I want to teach you."

Adi's eyes lit up suddenly.

……

After sending the little duke and Adi to practice their basic skills, Riemann immediately began to seize the time to review magic.

And the little duke, who had been practicing hard for two days, finally figured out something was wrong - he couldn't do it!Even if he pinches the butler by the neck and asks him to find a way, the butler can't do it!When will he pass the test if this continues!

"How on earth did you do it? I've been practicing for two days, and it's simply impossible!"

The little duke was in a hurry, and Riemann had already prepared for it. Of course, he couldn't expect the pampered little duke to have the patience to practice for more than ten years and finally become a stunt. Or rather, he just waited for the little duke to ask before proceeding. One step plan.

Riemann frowned: "How can you say that this is impossible if you can't do it yourself? I can do it, so can the master who taught me magic, maybe the magician in Sydney can do it too, there are so many in this world People can do it, why can't you have one more?"

The little duke was a little discouraged: "Then I won't learn this, you can teach me how to get angry."

Riemann: "You want to run before you can walk. You can't even learn to fly cards, and you still want to control the flames. How can there be such a good thing?"

"Then what to do!"

Riemann sighed for a long time: "Forget it, your understanding is average, I don't expect you to pass the test yourself, let me give you a little hint."

The little duke doesn't mind others saying that he has mediocre savvy, he is the son of the duke, why do he need savvy, you see, he has mediocre savvy, shouldn't someone rush to give him a hint?

Riemann: "To carve a card into wood, two points are needed. The first point is sufficient strength, and the second point is the skill of exerting force. Now you are not satisfied with the two points. Of course, you need to do it. not reach."

"So what you need to do now is to exercise your strength."

Riemann stepped aside, revealing a row of stone dumbbells that the housekeeper had just ordered behind him.

"You start with the smallest one, and when you get used to it, change to a pair. When you can lift the largest one for fifty times in a row, I will teach you the second point."

Lift the iron and go, boy, I don't believe that you still have the energy to think about something.
