If not for the Magic Shooter's demonstration, Salin would have thought that it was impossible. Using an offensive spell to defeat an offensive spell, and a low-level spell to defeat a high-level spell.
But the truth was before their eyes. The Magic Shooter had done it.
Most people still felt that it was a pity. What the Magic Shooter could do, they couldn't. Powerful calculation ability required mental strength. A mage's mental strength was precious. It was needed to control the entire process of releasing the spell. Mental strength would grow after every meditation, but the speed of growth was almost undetectable.
Princess Rex looked at Salin from Fayern and didn't speak. Salin felt the gaze, and it was as if a fire was burning his face. This gaze interrupted his thoughts, but he heard the Magic Shooter continue on the stone platform —
"That's all for today. Salin, you stay."
This time, no one dared to exclaim. That would be disrespectful to the Magic Shooter. Everyone stood up, bowed silently, and left the school. Salin didn't move. He didn't understand why the Magic Shooter left him alone.
Princess Rex and Fayern walked side by side. After a long time, she asked, "Fayern, did you teach Figaro's Magic Formula to Salin?"
"Not yet. I only taught him some basics. He has a good foundation and realized it himself."
"Don't teach it to him yet."
"Princess, you said that I have the right to inherit magic." Fayern didn't humble himself in front of Princess Rex. He and the princess had the same teacher. Regardless of their origins, they were from the same school.
"You like him a lot?" Princess Rex asked curiously.
"Yes."
"Heh, Fayern, in the past ten years, there have been at least eight thousand mages who wanted to join me. I didn't see you being moved. Why, do you want to take him as your student? "
"It's 26,024. Only one percent stayed. These people are talented, but none of them are more hardworking than Salin. You saw his Icicle Spell. Could you do that back then? "
Princess Rex squinted her eyes and arched her eyebrows. She exhaled. The weather was getting colder, and she could already exhale white steam.
"He couldn't back then. But he can't reach level-five at my age either, right?"
Fayern laughed. The princess was still young and competitive. Fayern thought for a moment and said, "Salin should have a powerful teacher. I can't snatch him away. I just want to help such a person. "
"That's why I told you not to teach him Figaro's Magic Formula yet. Byrne's men are already on their way. Judging from Salin's accent, he should be a northerner from Scotia. In three months at the most, I will have definite information. If there's nothing wrong with him, I won't stop you from teaching him whatever you want. "
"Princess, do you think there's something wrong with Salin?" Fayern didn't participate in the affairs of the Princess' Mansion, so he didn't know how Salin had arrived.
"When he came, he brought the news of Rocky's death. Do you remember that young man?"
"I remember, he's dead?" Fayern asked with some regret.
"Yes, if he doesn't die, he can become a Sword Saint in two years at most." Princess Rex sighed and continued, "Salin brought Loki's badge. I gave it to him personally. If Loki was alive, this badge wouldn't have fallen into someone else's hands. There's nothing to be suspicious about, but Salin also brought a relic of Loki's, a Green Dragon's Magic Core. "
Seeing that Fayern was deep in thought, Princess Rex said, "Although Green Dragons are the weakest of the dragon race, the Magic Core of the dragon race is too rare. Its value is incomparable to that of a level-six magical beast. He's just a level-two Spellcaster, why isn't he tempted? "
"Maybe he's not here to rely on you." Fayern hit the nail on the head.
"Yes, he might be here to avoid trouble. We have to investigate this thoroughly. You know, I'm going to be an adult next year. Before that, I don't want to cause any trouble. If he's here to avoid trouble, I'm not afraid. The only thing I'm worried about is that he might be related to the Vatican.
"Vatican …" Fayern frowned. Although he didn't believe that Salin was from the Vatican, this concerned the safety of the Princess, so he had to be careful.
"I understand. Before Byrne's men send back news, I won't teach him Figaro's Magic Formula."
"Let's go. I want to exercise my body today. Call your men and accompany me to hunt." Princess Rex stretched her body. The eyes of the young Spellcasters who had been following behind her shone with fervent light. Although these people were attracted by magic, who would turn a blind eye to the beauty and wealth of the Princess?
When Salin returned to the courtyard, he found that no one was there. Only Sid was waving her weapon and practicing her martial arts out of boredom. The Magic Shooter didn't ask him to stay for anything special. He just showed him the incantation and hand gestures of the Ice Blade Spell. Salin was baffled. He had a memory of this spell, and it was very comprehensive. His teacher had also demonstrated it once. In fact, he could buy learning methods for spells below level-three with money. For Salin, money wasn't a problem in the short term.
"Where's Neris?"
"Sleeping." Sid replied with a pout. She didn't understand why Neris didn't feel bored. She could sleep for more than ten hours every day. Apart from eating, she never saw Neris appear again. Sid was used to running around in the mountains. No matter how big the courtyard was, she still felt suffocated.
Sid remembered that the village chief had told her that no matter how fierce a magical beast was, it would become a pig if it was kept in captivity for two years. She felt that she was about to become a pig, eating and waiting to die all day.
"Homesick?" Salin saw Sid's expression and knew that she was in a bad mood.
"I don't know." Sid was even more confused after hearing Salin's question. It was already winter. Was there enough food in the village? If not, the people from the Vatican would come to harass and trick some young people into leaving. She was considered rich now, but she found so many excuses not to go back. Would the village chief be disappointed?
"Sid, it would have been best if you and I went back to Caucasus. But we met the deacons of the Vatican. The murder will definitely be exposed. The people from the Vatican are active in Caucasus. It won't be good if we meet them. I don't want to drag your village down. And I'm worried about Ainphent. If the Baron isn't dead, we might be in trouble once we leave Kushui Prefecture. "
"Ah?" Sid had only recently learned to speak Qin Yinese. She was still not familiar with it, so of course she didn't know what had happened. She only knew that the Baron wasn't a good person. She understood. Salin's words calmed her down.
"But the princess is very smart. She … … will investigate the problem for me. When there's news, we'll decide whether to leave.
Although Salin was reluctant to part with the life of a Magic Shooter, he didn't want Sid to suffer. When he was at his weakest, it was Sid who used her weapons and beliefs to protect him. As for learning, he would go back to his teacher after he advanced to the fourth level. Count Alphonso wouldn't dare to make a move no matter how much he hated him.
Even though Jason was only a fifth level Mage, he was the strongest in Salin's heart. Jason could answer any question he asked. He never had to think. As Salin set his sights higher and higher, he understood what this meant.
Inheritance.
Only the strongest Magic Shooters could have such an inheritance. Only they could cultivate a Great Mage like his teacher.
Figaro's magic formula didn't have to be learned here.
"Salin, there's actually no need. Next year, we can just ask someone to send the money to the village. It's just that I don't have a Magical Beast Fighting Soul, so it's hard for me to practice martial arts alone. I want to buy a Magical Beast. What do you think? "
"Why not? We'll buy it no matter how much it costs. "Salin was relieved to hear that Sid was worried about this. It didn't cost much to hire mercenaries to buy a Magical Beast. The value of a Magical Beast was its magic core. As long as he didn't want the core, even a sixth level Magical Beast could be bought for a few thousand gold coins.
For other low-level Mages, this was a huge sum. Salin had gotten sixty thousand gold coins from Ainphent, and he hadn't spent it yet.
Sid was much happier to hear Salin support her. She said to Salin, "Go do what you need to do. I'm going to take a bath."
"Ah?" Salin was surprised. He was used to Sid's messy appearance. Her new leather armor was dirty. Only now did he realize that Sid's armor had been wiped clean. Her hair was combed very smoothly, giving off a faint fragrance.
Salin shook his head and went straight to Faylen's room. It was already afternoon. He still had to be Faylen's assistant. He couldn't slack off. Such an opportunity was not something that anyone could have.
Salin felt bored when Faylen wasn't in the room. He looked around and found that this room was obviously different from his teacher's laboratory. There were no magic books here. This laboratory was too clean and tidy. The tools on the table were also in good order, except for the pile of metal blocks on the table.
These metal blocks were the same as when they'd been pushed into the passage. There was no change in their positions. Salin's heart skipped a beat. He walked to the front and observed carefully.
The three thousand metal blocks were indescribably mysterious in Salin's eyes. Faylen had destroyed the formation, but not only were these metal blocks not destroyed, they maintained a strange arrangement.
Salin cast a memory spell, but it didn't work. The magic patterns on the metal blocks prevented him from completing his memory. The spell failed. Salin became even more interested.
Figaro's Formula was a strange magic problem. There were more than eight thousand of them, and every one of them was connected. There was no starting point. If a Mage could completely grasp this formula, they could derive the most primitive arrangement. And this primitive arrangement was said to contain the basic laws of magic.
But the most amazing thing about this formula was that every Mage who grasped it would derive a different primitive arrangement. This caused Figaro's Formula to be impossible to learn from books. Even if a Mage taught you his experience, you would still have to start from the beginning and learn bit by bit.
Others' guidance could only be slowly digested. There was no way to learn in one go. That was why Salin wasn't very enthusiastic about this formula. He had a teacher, so he wasn't afraid that no one would teach him.
But this pile of metal blocks was clearly a problem Faylen had left for him. It was a strange magic arrangement.
