After reading the article written by the witch, Lucien also felt an indescribable shock. In fact, when he came to this world and found that this was a world of divine spells and magic, he also had some questions about it. However, he forgot them soon because he knew too little about magic.
Now, the ten questions about the origin of the world made Lucien believe that if he could figure out the answers to these questions, he would be able to see the truth of this world, understand why he could come to this world, and find a way to go back.
"Even though this grand arcanist named Douglas hasn't completely figured out any of the ten questions, as long as he makes some progress in his research on those questions, he's definitely very powerful and comparable to the ancient legendary sorcerers that he mentioned at the beginning of his paper."
"There's a journal called 'Arcana' and a strange sorcerer that the witch met. It seems that there is indeed a relatively safe place to learn magic in this world. However, it's a bit strange that there's a journal here."
"In the world of sorcerers, what does a grand arcanist represent? What is his status?"
…
Lucien thought of a lot from the witch's diary and the article. The more he thought about it, the more excited he was. He couldn't wait to meet the strange sorcerer and go to a safe place to learn magic. When he became powerful enough, he would go back to Aalto and secretly help John and his family.
Among all the questions, Lucien was most excited, most expectant, and also most confused about them.
"Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements? If they are, in what form and what rules do they follow to create such a wonderful world? If they aren't, what are they? What are the magic elements? "
"Why is there a sun and a Silver Moon in this world? Why do they rise and set every day? What's the power that keeps them running? The things in the material world seem normal, but if we ask more questions, we will find that we don't understand the reasons behind them yet. Are the reasons, laws, and knowledge related to magic? Can they be combined with magic? Can they help us explore the nature of the magic world? "
In Lucien's view, if earth, fire, wind, and water were indeed not basic elements in the first question, and the answer to the second question was that the laws of the material world could be applied and combined with magic, it meant that the main knowledge that he had learned in the past ten years and a large part of the knowledge in the library could be put to use when learning and applying magic.
Lucien had not been deeply involved in the world of sorcerers yet, so he could only speculate. "At least I've seen things like silver, copper, and iron recently. It's very likely that 'elements' really exist. Except for magic and divine spells, I haven't seen anything that goes against the laws of physics in my daily life." Lucien thought to himself.
But when I add spiritual power, souls, and weird and powerful magic creatures, this world gives me a feeling that it's not the same as the earth.
A thought suddenly flashed in Lucien's mind. It seems that the reason why the books in the library can't be opened is not what I thought before. It's very suspicious.
Lucien was very excited. After a long time of thinking, he finally calmed down. He had matured a lot, and he knew that the most important thing for him now was to learn magic in a down-to-earth way. He could not be unrealistic and chase after things that could not be confirmed yet.
No matter which world he was in, being down-to-earth was a quality that was worth having.
Holding back his thoughts, Lucien turned to the last page of the witch's notebook.
"After meditation and experiments, I often think of him. A knowledgeable and elegant man is always charming. "
…
"He told me that he came to Aalto to carry out an important and secret mission. If everything went well, maybe in a few months, he would be able to take me to the headquarters of the Continental Magic Congress, the heaven of sorcerers.
"Tonight, he asked me to meet him in the cemetery in Aderon."
Here, the witch's notebook came to an abrupt end. All the pages were blank parchments. It seemed that she and her sorcerer friend were ambushed by the night watchers of the Church.
"I wonder if the sorcerer managed to escape." Lucien was a bit annoyed. Lucien was the only clue that he had found about the Continental Magic Congress. He had no idea where to start looking for the other sorcerers who were said to be hiding in Aalto.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lucien cleared all the thoughts in his mind and tried to meditate to see if he could learn magic.
According to the notebook, Lucien kept a gentle and long breathing rhythm. He let his spiritual power spread out, then slowly withdrew, then spread out again, then slowly withdrew again, until he entered a state of emptiness and emptiness.
According to the witch's own experience, she had been appraised as having a talent for magic since she was a child. When she first started to meditate, it took her a full two years to enter this ethereal, blank state. Another year had passed since her spiritual power had increased to the level of an "apprentice magic apprentice", where she could sense the surrounding magic elements in this ethereal state.
However, after becoming an apprentice, before becoming a real sorcerer, there were basically no obstacles in the practice of spiritual power. According to the meditation method, step by step, one's spiritual power and soul could be tempered to be strong enough to build the model of a magic imprint. The only difficulty was how long it would take.
The witch started meditating at the age of ten and became an apprentice at the age of thirteen. At the age of fourteen, she stepped over the threshold of a real sorcerer's apprentice and became a senior apprentice. She was very satisfied with her talent in spiritual power.
But later, because she was not good at analyzing the structure of magic and building the model of a magic imprint, she could only try to increase her spiritual power to the level of a real sorcerer. Unfortunately, at this stage, the effect of the meditation method of an apprentice was very poor. The witch was unable to achieve her goal, so she set her eyes on a rare magic potion called "Magic Gate". She wanted to use her spiritual power, which was stronger than most senior apprentices, to combine with this magic potion to directly advance.
Originally, after reading the witch's notes, Lucien was slightly disappointed. He felt that he would not be able to use magic to deal with the possible revenge of the gang in a short period of time. However, Victor was a famous person in Aalto, who was often invited by the nobles, and was an elegant person who wandered in the upper class. After he became Victor's apprentice, if he did not have any more value, most gang members would not bother him, except for those who took risks.
Of course, Lucien had a faint expectation in his heart. This was because Lucien had long noticed that his spiritual power had a great breakthrough after the incident in the sewers. He could even vaguely sense that someone was following him. This might be able to shorten the time he needed to become an apprentice to a few months, or even a few weeks.
But in reality, the situation was completely out of Lucien's expectations.
After Lucien sent out his spiritual power and took it back a few times, he found that he had successfully entered the state of emptiness and emptiness. It took him less than thirty seconds to complete the first meditation!
Maintaining this state of meditation, Lucien tried to extend his spiritual power.
Everything around him was completely different from what he could see with his eyes. It was full of steady and heavy power, raging and bursting power, light and scattered power, and soft and continuous power.
"Are these the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water? My spiritual power has already reached the level of an apprentice! " Lucien was so surprised that he almost couldn't maintain the state of meditation. "No wonder I succeeded in my first meditation. But that's the reward I got when I was on the verge of death. Now I'm considered an apprentice, right? "
Understanding the reason, Lucien calmed down in joy. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could learn his first informal spell!
"But why do these four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water feel more like the state of force?" When Lucien was about to train his soul and spiritual power according to the Book of Astrology and Elements with the help of the four elements, Lucien started to doubt himself. "Maybe it's the four fundamental forces of the universe, namely gravity, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force?" Lucien wondered, "Maybe it's the four fundamental forces of the universe, gravity, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force? But aren't the last three different manifestations of the same force? "
Although Lucien was not a student of the School of Physics, he vaguely heard that the weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and strong nuclear force seemed to have been unified by a certain theory, and they were different manifestations of the same force.
The moment the idea popped into his head, Lucien immediately sensed that the world around him had changed again. There was a starry sky above his head, which was dark and brilliant. Every star was like a tiny spot of light that was blinking nonstop. Also, they all had an invisible force that reached the ground. The earth, on the other hand, was also releasing a heavy and steady attraction force. Other than that, fire, wind, and water did not seem to have changed much. However, the previously clear and insurmountable gap between them seemed to have become slightly blurred.
In the state of meditation, Lucien's emotions were not very intense, but such a change still made him think, "Is the world of magic 'elements' that my spiritual power has sensed changing according to my cognition, or is it gradually perfecting and becoming clearer?"
However, such a change did not seem to have any direct impact on Lucien's current training of his spiritual power or magic learning.
"Wait, starry sky, isn't that a meditation method that can only be used by senior magic apprentices?" Lucien suddenly thought of another apprentice-level meditation method recorded in the witch's notes.
Just by the name of "The Book of Astrology and Elements", one would know that it focused on the school of Astrology and the school of Elements. Of course, there were these two schools of meditation, but the apprentice-level meditation method of the school of Astrology was not better than the school of Elements in terms of increasing spiritual power and soul, so it was not very useful for witches.
However, as an entry-level meditation method of the school of Astrology, it had an important ability, which was that during the first meditation, one could choose one's own "Host Star of Destiny" from the starry sky and try to connect with it, and then slowly stabilize it. This way, when learning various kinds of Astrology magic in the future, it would be a great help. More importantly, without this "Host Star of Destiny", one would not be able to learn and use Astrology and other prophecy magic in the school of Astrology.
According to the school of Astrology's point of view, every soul corresponded to a star in the vast starry sky, and their fate was reflected in the changes of the stars. Without connecting with one's own Host Star of Destiny, one would not be able to observe the lines of fate in the starry sky, and thus could not use Astrology.
It was because of this that the entry-level meditation method of the school of Astrology could only be learned, used, and sensed the starry sky when one's spiritual power reached the level of a senior magic apprentice, or had enough knowledge. Before that, they would use the meditation methods of other schools, which were not contradictory, to practice until they became a senior magic apprentice.
Lucien murmured in his heart, "Since when is gravity related to fate? It seems that a lot of things do not necessarily conform to the previous knowledge or concepts, of course, it could also be that I do not understand the reason. "
