Robin Refaeli's Guide to Transfiguration

When in the living room, President Jacques solemnly took out a very heavy book from his magic pocket and placed it in front of Mellen's eyes, Mellen was surprised.

Robin Refaeli.

He was no stranger to this name. Not long ago, he read a copy of "Robin Refaeli's Family's Adventure Guide" and had a wonderful encounter.

Now, I saw another guide...

"Transfiguration is an elective course in major schools."

The old president didn't know what Mellen was thinking. He thought he had never heard of this knowledge, so he explained:

"Normal transfiguration is the reshaping of foreign objects, such as turning a feather into a steel needle, or turning a piece of clothing into a pair of armor. If you practice it to a high level, you can even turn a life into a piece of armor. form another life.”

"Is it permanently deformed?"

Mellen was very curious when he heard this, "Or is there a time limit?"

"Some objects can maintain their deformation for a long time, while others cannot."

President Jacques said: "Of course this also depends on whether your research in the relevant field is superb, and your own wizard level - but these are not the key points. The transfiguration in this book is not transfiguration in the traditional sense."

As he said this, seeing Meren look like he was listening attentively, the old president raised his right hand covered with age spots and opened the first page of the book.

What you see is a human body structure that looks like an anatomical illustration.

"The human body has its limits. Even those saints in the world who have practiced breathing techniques to the pinnacle, if they do not learn special skills, their destructive power cannot actually exceed the cognitive scope of us normal people."

President Jacques said: "So some wizard ancestors have developed a new knowledge based on the art of transformation, which is both life refining and self-transformation."

"Do you mean to transform yourself into a non-human being?" Mellen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"That's understandable."

The old president nodded and said: "If you observe carefully, you will find that the emblems of pure-blood wizard families are generally animals. Do you know why this is so?"

"Because members of the family are good at transforming into this animal?"

"Not that I'm good at it."

President Jacques explained: "Normally, only senior wizards of level seven or above are qualified to learn this level of transformation. If you want to master it thoroughly, you have to spend a lot of time studying, so generally pure bloods are It’s impossible to transform yourself.”

"But the answer is actually very close. Because wizard members of the same family, when they are qualified to practice self-transformation and successfully practice it, will basically turn into the animal on their family emblem. This is mainly based on blood inheritance. "

"In other words, even if this self-transformation technique is successfully practiced, it can only allow the wizard to transform into an animal."

"but--"

After a pause in speaking, the old president tapped the book in front of Mellen's eyes with his hand.

"The transformation technique recorded here is very special. It has no such restrictions, and it can be practiced during the apprenticeship."

Low-level wizards can learn the abilities of high-level wizards, and they are also optimized...

After hearing this, Mellen secretly thought to himself, isn't this cheating?

Considering the function of that storybook, he couldn't help but wonder if this ancient wizard named Robin Refaeli specialized in cheating?

"Can it transform at will?"

"It's not that exaggerated, but if you can master it, then every time you advance to a level, you can have a new transformation form."

As he said this, seeing the excited expression on Mellen's face, the old president struck back: "Don't be too happy too early. It is very difficult to successfully practice the skills in this book."

"How difficult can it be?" Mellen asked curiously.

"A wizard apprentice wants to learn the high-level transformation technique that only a seventh-level wizard can dabble in. How difficult can it be?"

The old president said: "Although its transformation effect is weakened and is not as good as the transformation of a high-level wizard in the early stage, it still has high requirements on your talent and understanding."

"It's hard to say about your understanding. Talent is mainly about the strength and sensitivity of your third hand, your control over your body, and even your luck, etc., which will all affect your learning progress."

Having said this, the old president sighed.

"With your talent, if you are given a few years to study, you should be able to learn this thaumaturgy, but soon, you will go to St. Grant's Fort..."

He shook his head and said no more.

He had already discussed the next arrangements with Melen before, which was to catch up with the beginning of this year's school season and enter Fort St. Grant for further study.

However, after entering the school, Mellen would not be able to stay in the apprenticeship stage for long, otherwise he would be "persuaded" to quit.

However, this transfiguration technique requires "laying the foundation" from the apprenticeship period. Anyone who skips this stage and learns it hard will not only fail, but will have strong backlash.

So in fact, the time left for Melen to learn this transformation technique would not exceed one year at most. “According to my estimation, with your current conditions, the chance of successfully learning this skill is no more than 10%.”

President Jacques said this very firmly.

Looking at the study tips that appeared in the book, Mellen said nothing and just nodded obediently.

"But you don't have to worry too much. This is just an auxiliary ability after all."

Seeing Mellen's face full of "disappointment", the old president comforted him:

"Even if you can't practice, you just lack some special means, but this will not affect your future path as a wizard at all."

"So in fact, I called you here mainly to talk about another thing."

"Is it about the next memory inheritance?"

"Yes."

The old president nodded and said: "After the ceremony is arranged, you will be teleported to an abandoned library, where you have to find a floating crystal ball. After finding it, you can use your wealth to exchange it for some magic knowledge."

As he said, he took out a magic pocket from his sleeve and placed it in front of Mellen.

"The apprenticeship period requires about fifteen basic wizard subjects. Some of the wealth here is enough for you to exchange them all."

A wizard apprentice can only be considered standard if he has learned all fifteen basic subjects.

Some wizard apprentices who come from excellent and wealthy families and have sufficient learning conditions will also specialize in one or two, or more basic subjects in order to widen the gap with other apprentices.

The reason for doing this seems to be that the more solid the foundation of the apprenticeship period is, the faster the subsequent practice will be.

So Melen did not refuse the old president's "cultivation", but asked again: "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"

"Normally, there is nothing special."

The old president thought for a while and said: "But if you are lucky enough, or unlucky enough, you will meet a little goblin guarding the library inside, who is a guy who likes gambling."

"If you have some balance after the exchange, you might as well gamble with it twice, maybe you can win back the principal."

"Don't be afraid of it denying it, it is imprisoned in that library and cannot lie to people or commit fraud at all."

It sounds like the so-called little goblin is not simple?

Melen thought about it after hearing this.

As for the old president's gambling, he didn't think much about it.

How did that sentence go? I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs.

As a modern time traveler full of positive energy, he certainly would not do such a depraved behavior.

However, President Jacques' words suddenly reminded Melen of something.

"Besides exchanging wizard knowledge, can you exchange for anything else?"

He asked, "I mean, things like breathing techniques?"

"It can only give you relevant memories."

The old president shook his head and said, "So although you can exchange for breathing techniques, it's useless."

Whether it's useful or not depends on the score.

My max-level hunter is still lacking skills!

Melen was excited to hear this, and said, "Since you are exchanging wealth for knowledge, can I bring in more money?"

"Of course, but you are still in the apprenticeship period, and the knowledge you can learn is basically not of high value, so don't have excessive expectations for it."

President Jacques pointed out: "You might as well keep the remaining money and wait for the start of school. There will be a lot of places to spend money at that time."

He thought Melen wanted to bring in the reward he earned from Kevin, so he didn't care much.

However, not long after, he saw Melen walking out of the bedroom with a bulging bag of things on his back.

"What are these?"

Vice President Victor, who was busy with the ceremony, was surprised to see Melen's appearance like an old farmer carrying grain.

"Are your magic pockets not enough?"

Melen thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide.

So he put the linen bag on the ground, untied it, and revealed a pile of magic pockets piled up inside.

The atmosphere in the room became a little quiet.
