"But —" Mara suddenly changed the topic. His eyes were filled with an unknown glint.
"Before I teach you the meditation method, I need to tell you two truths, which are the universal laws of the wizarding world.
"Firstly, both light Magi and dark Magi advocate equivalent exchange. Light Magi abided by this rule much more than dark Magi. "
"Secondly, Magi can name a price for anything. Only knowledge is priceless. Unless you have an extremely close relationship with a wizard, you must pay a price to obtain knowledge from them. "
Mara glanced at Angor.
"I can teach meditation to Aleen and Alan for free because they're my family. But I can't do that for you. You must pay a price to get the meditation method. You don't have what I want right now. "
Angor's expression did not change. He nodded. When he was very young, Jon had told him that no one in the world would be nice to you for no reason. Mara had always been nice to him. He even gave Angor a valuable magic scroll for a promise that he might not be able to fulfill. Angor did not show it on his face, but he was actually quite nervous about it. Now that Mara told him this, Angor finally sighed in relief.
Aleen looked anxious. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Mara's stern look.
"I can't teach you meditation now, but when you get to the academy and find a teacher, you can learn it. Naturally, the instructor will pass down the meditation technique to you. If you're talented enough and become a student of a great wizard, the meditation method you get will be better. " Mara saw Angor was about to leave, so he added, "You don't have to leave in such a hurry. I have my reasons for calling all of you here.
"I can't teach you meditation, but you can learn the meaning of meditation for wizards in advance." Mara did not waste time. He turned to the others and said, "Watch carefully."
Mara closed his eyes. No one knew what he was doing. After two to three seconds, the wanted poster on the table slowly floated into the air. Then, under Mara's command, the wanted poster fluttered nimbly in the air. Sometimes it would curl, sometimes it would fold, sometimes it would hover, and sometimes it would fall. The eyes of the three little ones lit up. Even though they had gotten used to seeing Mara's extraordinary power, they were still very excited.
Mo Luo only opened his eyes after the arrest warrant was slowly placed down.
"I didn't release any magic just now, but this leather scroll was still able to break away from me and come under my control. Do you know the reason? "After Mo Luo finished asking, he slapped his forehead and said," Eh, look at how confused I am! None of you have come into contact with adepts before. Why would I ask you such a question? "
Mara said seriously, "I'll get straight to the point. This is the power brought about by meditation. Wizards call it spiritual power."
"The level of mental strength is related to the efficiency of magic channeling."
"Magic power is a unique power produced when the body communicates with the world. Generally speaking, one's Mental Strength had to be higher than 10 points to be able to guide the flow of mana back to oneself. The higher the Mental Strength value, the higher the efficiency of Mana channeling. "
"Meditation techniques exist to increase the efficiency of mana channeling."
"Let's talk about mental strength. For most wizards, mental strength is the medium to channel mana. But in fact, mental strength is also useful. It can even affect the material world. For example, this leather scroll is moved purely by mental strength. However, you have to remember that mental strength is an extremely unstable power. The purpose of meditation is to build a model and stabilize mental strength. " Mara sighed and said, "Some special schools in the three major architectures also have spells that combine mental strength and mana. However, such a technique required an extremely deep foundation of knowledge. Don't even think about using them before you reach the level of an official wizard. "
Mara then explained in detail some of the matters regarding meditation, and handed a thin booklet to Alan.
"This is the basic meditation technique of the academy, Triangle Channeling. Allen, take it back and memorize it before giving it to Eirinn. "Mo Luo looked at Eirinn, whose eyes were rolling around, after giving instructions to Allen, who was more confused than clear-headed.
"You have to remember that Triangle Channeling is not to be passed on in private. After you memorize it, burn it immediately. If I find out that you taught it to someone else, not only will he die, but you will also be sentenced to death. "
Aleen was stunned by Mara's warning. Death at the slightest provocation. Aleen finally saw a small glimpse of the cruelty of the wizarding world.
"Alright, each of you can ask me a question. Once you've received your answers, you can all go back. I'm going to be researching a new spell technique in the coming days. Don't disturb me if it's not related to life or death. "The latter half of Mara's words were clearly meant for the siblings. As for Angor, Mara believed he had done his best.
Aleen and Alan always wanted to become wizards, but they were too young and did not know much about it. None of the questions raised were very constructive. Aleen's question even made Mara's expression turn cold. Mara already told her about talent a few days ago. Mara was already being merciful by not slapping her on the face.
Alan's question was about the difference between "light wizards" and "dark wizards".
This was common knowledge. Aleen and Alan would understand it when they arrived at the academy. Aleen's question to Mara now was a waste of opportunity.
Mara thought the question was too simple, but it was still better than Aleen's. So Mara added, "Light wizards and dark wizards sound like there's a difference between good and evil. Heh, there's no difference at all. Black and white are only defined by apprentices. For wizards, there's no such thing. It's just a difference in style.
"'White' wizards, as apprentices call them, tend to be gentle. 'Dark' wizards, on the other hand, tend to be violent and cruel. However, this is not absolute. When a light wizard is in a bad mood, you might get blasted into pieces if you walk past him. Black and white are only the choices of wizards under normal circumstances. Generally speaking, there's no difference. When you become a wizard, you can be a dark wizard one second and a light wizard the next. There's no problem.
"There's no such thing as black and white wizards, but there are differences between wizard organizations. "For example, our White Coral Floating Island Academy is generally a moderate wizard organization. If it's not necessary, the wizards won't kill the apprentices. Sometimes, if they see an apprentice in trouble, the wizards will even lend a helping hand. Of course, the wizards have to compensate the wizards afterwards. There are also wizard organizations on the Fey Continent who advocate for the survival of the fittest. Sometimes, apprentices are just human materials in the eyes of wizards.
"So, you're very lucky to be able to enter White Coral Floating Island Academy."
After answering Alan's question, Mara looked at Angor again.
Angor stood up cautiously and bowed. Then he asked his question, "My question is, what's the principle behind casting spells?"
"That's a good question." Mara gave Angor an approving look. "I don't think I'm qualified enough to answer this question with my current knowledge. However, I can talk about the rules of casting spells in my eyes. You can refer to it after you hear it.
"For wizards, mana is the source of energy for casting spells. However, the most important thing is not mana, but the knowledge used to construct the spell. You can say that knowledge is everything to a wizard. Search for the origin, seek the answers to all things, and seek the truth. All knowledge can be turned into immortal miracles through mana.
"For example, there's a low-level cantrip called Dog Nose. Casting this spell can temporarily increase a person's sense of smell to the level of a dog's. To cast this spell, you not only need mana, but also need to understand the structure of a dog's nose and the corresponding knowledge of smell. You also need to make minor adjustments to your own nasal cavity.
"So, for wizards, the most important thing is the accumulation of knowledge and the creativity to see through everything.
