Arcane Age

Although the Tower of Thousand Dharmas is located on the peak of Mount Abyss, there is a large flat land in the center of this mage city. There are a large number of low-rise buildings here for the families, workers, and servants who depend on the Tower of Thousand Dharmas. live.

At the same time, this is also the paradise for the young magicians in the Tower of Thousand Magics. When it is time to take a rare break, you can enjoy entertainment in this town after being briefly liberated from the busy life of the Mage Tower.

The Evening Star Bar is said to have been built in the most standard elven style by a mage who once entered the elven kingdom of Evermeet Island. It is full of unique exotic customs and has a transcendental atmosphere. It is deeply loved by the Tower of Thousand Dharmas. Welcome to the magicians.

Of course, the price of any product here is not that cheap, and only the best young mages who can be appreciated by their mentors can enter the Evening Star Bar.

Therefore, there are often only a few scattered customers in the Evening Star Bar on weekdays. However, on this night, the bar lobby was filled with a table of eight people. They all looked like very young magicians, five men and three women. The center of the conversation was a tall man with silver-grey hair. He was about thirty years old, wearing a magic robe with a high collar, gold trim, and special complicated patterns on the cuffs.

Chief Diesel, congratulations on successfully defeating eighty-five competitors and winning this year's 'Thousand Techniques Rising Star Award'. This is an extremely rare honor. There are only 312 Thousand Techniques Rising Stars in history. The winner of the award has at least become a master of magic! A young and beautiful blond female magician sitting opposite him raised the wine glass in her hand, which was filled with ice-blue waning moon rose wine, which is a High-end wine that helps magicians restore their spiritual power and is worth a lot of money.

That's right, Chief Diesel represents our Rune Tower. In this Qianfa New Star Competition, he defeated the chiefs of the other three towers and won the championship. This is the glory of our Rune Tower! Sitting on the left side of Diesel The man quickly followed and said: I'm afraid Chief Diesel will soon complete the promotion to master certificate, graduate from the rune tower, and go to the top of the snow mountain to receive the teachings of the legendary spellcaster, right?

The seven companions all raised their glasses. They were all men with silver-grey hair and friends of Diesel, the chief student of the Rune Tower. This time it was to celebrate Diesel’s success in the triennial “Thousand Methods Nova” that just took place. Gathering together after winning the laurels in the competition.

Diesel is usually a very calm person who never says a word unless necessary, but at this moment he also had a slight smile on his face. After he and several companions drank a glass of wine, he With a reserved expression, he said: Yes, I have reached the final moment of challenging the master certificate. Teacher Anthony approves of my spell design ideas for this competition. I will also leave the Rune Tower and go to the Scroll Tower where Teacher Anthony is. It’s time for the next step of study!”

Oh my god, 'Erudition' Anthony is the speaker of the Tirisfal Council, and the strongest magician in the entire Tower of Thousand Magics after the two legendary masters! Diesel, you really seem to be going to do it this time. Take off! Another young girl's eyes were sparkling. She looked at Diesel with admiration: Chief Diesel, you are so awesome!

I'm afraid that by the time we see you next time, you will already be a new magic master; in a few years, you will already be a legendary spellcaster!

Although Diesel was a little overwhelmed by the compliments from his friends, he did not get carried away. He waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down: I am not the best young magician in the Tower of Thousand Magics. I have a high level of omniscience. The tower has just promoted a young female magician to become a magic master, becoming the fifth magic master of the Construct School!

Ah? Who is it? The profession of magician does not require much physical strength and physical combat, but relies more on wisdom and magic. Therefore, the proportion of women among professionals is very high, but even so, in high-level and Among the above magicians, the proportion of women is only just over one fifth.

Therefore, every female magic master, even in a magic holy place like the Tower of Thousand Magics, is very popular. Every high-level magician who is expected to break through the master's certification has the eyes of countless people looking forward to and watching.

Christine Philip, the daughter of Archduke Philip, she is only twenty-two years old, and she was just promoted to the sixth-level magician a year ago! Diesel helplessly spread his hands: The news I know is that about Ten months ago, Christine left the Tower of Thousand Laws and went to the San Estamba to serve as the leader of the mage group, but I didn’t expect that she would complete the challenge of the Master’s Certification so quickly. She is really a sudden rise!”

Everyone looked at each other. Although the competition in the Tower of Thousand Dharmas was very fierce, and many magicians would fall into insomnia and find it difficult to fall asleep even without using drugs, few people would choose to leave the Tower of Thousand Dharmas on their own initiative. Even when they were forced to leave, they would reluctantly do so. Because it is difficult for them to set foot in this haunting mage city again in their lifetime.

In the view of the magicians of the Tower of Thousand Magics, except here, the entire world can be said to be a magical desert. Even the Royal Academy of Magic of France or the University of Copenhagen are nothing more than oases in the desert.

It is really strange that a person like Kristine, who voluntarily left the Tower of Thousand Dharmas, could complete the challenge of Master Certification in such a short period of time.

Hey, after all, she is the daughter of Archduke Philip. The Grand Duke is the supreme leader of the Spanya region and one of the top five figures in the empire! The last girl with a long face and a sharp chin said disdainfully: Compared to us For people who have nothing but magic and hard work, they have everything!”

The profession of magician does not depend on blood. In fact, most people with the blood of spellcasters are warlocks.

Although the spell list of a Warlock is not as wide as that of a Magician, the difficulty of casting spells for a Warlock is much lower than that of a Magician, and the difficulty of advancing to key professional levels depends more on the bloodline itself, and personal learning and hard work are secondary. .

This is also the key reason why there are many young people among high-level warlocks, while most high-level magicians are middle-aged and elderly.

Therefore, most of the noble spellcasters are bloodline magicians, and the proportion who are really willing to study and learn magic is not high. Most of the members of the Tower of Thousand Magics are from civilians, and none of the eight people at this table have surnames.

In any case, Kristen is already a true master of magic. She is ahead of us and is enough to win our respect! Diesel still made a fair evaluation: The challenge of the Master's Certificate is not If she can simply rely on external objects or others, she must have realized her own power!

The friends all fell silent. After a long time, the beautiful female magician who spoke first smiled lightly: Let's change the topic. Chief Diesel is about to leave the Rune Tower and go to the Scroll Tower to accept Anthony. Thank you for your guidance, this is great news worth celebrating!

As a result, the wine table became lively and happy again, and everyone sincerely congratulated Diesel.

At this moment, a flash of white lightning suddenly passed through the door of the Evening Star Bar and rushed directly to Diesel's head. The lightning dissipated, and a thick book with a bright star on the cover fell on Diesel's head. in hand.

This electric light attracted the attention of the entire Evening Star Bar. Diesel sensed a message on the electric light, and then explained to everyone: It's a book given to me by my mentor!

After the others turned their gazes, Diesel whispered: It was a book sent to me by tutor Anthony, and asked me to read and study it carefully during this time!

All the friends have expressions of envy and hatred on their faces. Chief Diesel has not yet gone to the Scroll Tower, but Mr. Anthony has actually started to take the initiative to deliver books. This is not just an ordinary student-teacher relationship, it is very serious. Maybe in the near future, Chief Diesel will become a disciple of Erudition Anthony!

Let's take a look too! I really want to see what this book is about! A fat magician wearing glasses stretched his neck.

Diesel was silent for a moment, and finally agreed: This book is called Arcane, a strange name, does it have anything to do with the Arcane Crystal?

Diesel unfolded the entire book, back side up, on the table.

The stars on the cover, spine and back are connected into one piece. The silver stars are dotted in the dark blue starry sky, shining brightly. And if you look closely, you can see that the stars are flowing and the stars are moving, it is like a sky. The stars are engraved on the cover of the book!

The holographic projection technology is Xi Wei's reinterpretation of magic principles in the world of Oulent, and it can be regarded as a new first. Even the top students of the Tower of Thousand Laws have never seen it before, and they are amazed.

This star map is real! The brightest thing in the center is the main material plane where the Oriente plane is located! Look, there is the Silver Moon above, and this should be the plane closest to Oriente. The kingdom of beasts!”

The fat magician came forward with an excited expression. He pointed his fingers on the star map and named almost all the corresponding stars and planes.

However, with his knowledge, he could only discover one-tenth of the stars, but even this part was enough to verify that this star map was what the real world looked like.

This is really a big deal! the beautiful girl said with emotion.

In the star map on the cover, densely packed dot-like stars form the two characters Arcana that are constantly changing slightly. Just like two real constellations, a sense of grandeur comes over you.

Diesel straightened his sitting posture, and he solemnly opened the first page of the book in his hand, and the first preface of Arcane appeared in front of him.

No one urged Diesel to skip the sequence. It was obvious that they were shocked by the generous virtual star map just now.

The second shock soon appeared, and a trembling sharp voice suddenly sounded: Victor Hugo, is that Victor Hugo?

That's right, there is only one Victor Hugo in the magic world, and he is the Lord of Change! Diesel said sternly. No matter how highly he thinks of himself, the Magician of the Tower of Thousand Magics will never underestimate him. The legendary magician who created the school of change and reached the highest peak of magicians.

In this preface, Victor Hugo spoke highly of Arcane and the concept of arcane, and he also recognized and had high hopes for the creator Xi Wei. What is written between the lines is not the kind of appreciation that seniors have for juniors. On the contrary, there is an equal appreciation of fellow road explorers.

Although Diesel was not clearly aware of this, it did not prevent him from becoming initially curious about the mage Seavey Frost.

Generally speaking, it is enough for a book to have a preface, so when Diesel turned to the second page and it was still a preface, his brows furrowed. Who else is qualified to join Mr. Fifth Law? Preface to this book?

He quickly got the answer, and a familiar name appeared at the end: Deidela, which is the name of Her Excellency Queen of Constructs. Compared with the Lord of Change, they were more interested in this person who was still in the Thousand Dharma. The legend of the tower becomes even more familiar!

The prefaces of the two title legends obviously shocked the friends at the table. When they saw the opening message written by Xi Wei, they became more serious and accepting.

Although everyone has not yet fully accepted the arcane concept proposed by Xi Wei, their chests are filled with an inexplicable excitement, and they are touched and shocked by the grand blueprint and bright future revealed between the lines.

The whole bar was silent for a while, and eight top students from the Tower of Thousand Laws gathered together and began to read and appreciate the book Arcane in earnest.

And the content of this book definitely did not disappoint them. Each of the twenty-one papers is so wonderful that people can't help but want to be amazed.

For those outsiders watching the excitement, Arcana is just a very interesting storybook that can expand people's thinking and knowledge. But for these eight high-level magicians of the Rune Tower, every paper is So thought provoking.

Moreover, the authors of these papers are all famous. Diesel also saw the names of Didera, Tutor Anthony, and several other senior magic masters from the Tower of Thousand Laws.

The reading and memory abilities of magicians are very abnormal. Diesel flipped through the book very quickly. It took him a quarter of an hour to turn to the last page, but it was enough for everyone here to read every word in this book. The words are deeply imprinted in my mind.

Sorry, I have to go back to the laboratory right away. Five Theorems of the Spell Model - An Application Exploration of the School of Protection written by Master Sylvie Frost is very inspiring for my master's proof direction! Diesel picked up the book Holding the Arcana in his hand, he stood up with a serious look on his face.

Then farewell! Everyone knows how important inspiration is to magicians. Although they really want to take a look at this Arcane in person, they can only watch Diesel leave.
