Chapter 49 Principles of Magic

Magic is essentially a kind of energy. There are many magic elements floating in the world of Ireland. Generations of magicians have studied the principles of magic and constructed complex and diverse magic arrays to allow magic to circulate in certain magic array circuits. Cycle to produce different magical effects such as fire, storm, lightning, etc.

The job of the enchanter is to etch the magic circle onto the equipment, so that only a little magic power is needed to instantly activate the magic on the equipment during battle.

In addition to enchanting magic and magic arrays, enchanting equipment also requires the magic medium to build the array. Crystal and Mikhail are recognized as the best magic media on the mainland. Of course, there are better magic crystals and dragon crystals on top of this. , only generally forbidden spell-level magic circles can be used.

As a beginner, it is easier to imprint magic circles on larger equipment, so Arthur bought a lot of first-level armors, shields and a few bottles of the lowest quality crystal powder, and then dragged Arnold into the room.

The ideal is full, but the reality is cruel. Becoming an enchanter is not as easy as the two imagined.

On Arthur's side, he had no trouble mastering "Dark Corrosion". If a magic was thrown, the surface of the metal shield would be corroded into pits. However, etching the magic array pattern through "dark corrosion" requires meticulous magic control. Seven or eight shields were damaged in three days in a row, and Arthur was still unable to etch a straight line on the shield surface.

Arnold's affinity for magic elements other than the dark system was so poor that it took three days to barely be able to cast the simplest "solidification technique" in earth magic. The enchantment required the enchanter to instantly etch the magic circle on When it comes to equipment, a slight setback will cause the magic array to fail to activate.

Facts have proved that improving "dark corrosion" into "enchantment" does make sense. The two people thought of the enchanter too simply.

What pulled Arthur out of repeated failures was the sudden magical message from the Blood Glory Order, indicating that the academy had officially opened.

 In the horseshoe-shaped lecture theater, there were about 20 boys and girls sitting sparsely.

This is the new class of students from the magic department of Guano Academy. Magicians are rarer than warriors. Only 23 students were recruited this year after the conditions were relaxed, while Burundian recruited four classes this year. 118 students.

On the podium, the short magician who was giving the first lesson of the school year was none other than the deputy dean of the college, the twelfth-level magician Helix, known as Old Harry.

"Children, welcome to the Guano Royal Academy! Our human race can thrive in the Ireland Continent only because of the heroic battles of generations of warriors and magicians. They have defended the glory of the human race with their lives and blood! From then on! Starting today, you must take over the banner of the warriors and magicians of your predecessors, and use your blood and magic to defend the glory of the kingdom and protect the dignity of the human race!"

The teenagers in the audience were in high spirits, and Helix inspired their passion and sense of honor with just a few words.

"From now on, forget the magic you have learned before, and I will take you to re-understand the magic world. Who can tell me, what is a magician?" Helix asked a question that was almost common sense.

 The students in the audience were lost in thought. Except for Arthur, these young men were all second-level magicians registered with the Magician's Union, but no one could give an accurate definition of a magician.

Helix didn't wait for the answer he wanted, so he continued talking, "Magic is energy floating between heaven and earth. People can't see it or feel it. A very small number of people can sense magic elements after training, but this That's not enough, people who sense and can use magical energy are called magicians."

"Becoming a magician requires four steps: perception, communication, guidance, and control. Being able to perceive the magic element, communicate with it, and introduce it into the body to become part of one's own magic is only the most basic part of magic. What really determines magic The key to a master's strength is his ability to control magic."

Arthur listened to Harry's explanation attentively. The basic theories of magic taught by old Harry were completely new to Arthur. He used to learn magic from Adeline. Adeline was a powerful magician, but not a professional magic teacher. She taught Arthur a lot of basic magic, but she didn't have the ability to explain magic systematically to Helix. Principle.

 Helix prepares to demonstrate magic manipulation.

"Who can show me how to use the most basic fireball technique?"

　　A young man standing closest to the podium stood up gracefully. He was wearing the academy's gold and red magic robes, with a handsome face and long silver hair. First, he bowed to Helix and then started to look at Hades. About two seconds later, a fireball the size of a watermelon appeared in his palm, causing a burst of exclamations from the surrounding students.

It takes two seconds to complete the construction of the magic circle and release such a large fireball, which is already considered the best among magicians of the same level. If this fireball is thrown on the body of a warrior below the captain, it will be enough to burn the opponent half to death.

 Old Harry on the podium stretched out his hand, and a huge fireball the size of a bull's head instantly appeared on his palm, causing the whole room to scream.

"Children, it is also a first-level magic fireball. Mine is faster and bigger, but it is not that I am stronger than his magic control, but that I am more proficient in building magic circles and accumulate more magic power. Next, I will demonstrate to you what magic control is." As Helix spoke, the fireball in his hand shrank rapidly, and finally shrunk into a small ball of flame the size of a dove egg jumping on his fingertips.

"Throw your fireball at me." Helix said to the student holding the fireball.

The student's hand shook nervously, and the fireball in his hand went out.

 Old Harry smiled, "What? Are you worried that your fireball spell can hurt a level 12 great magician?"

 The student blushed, released the fireball technique again, and then threw the fireball hard towards Helix.

Helix flicked his fingers, and the small fireball in his hand flew out.

 The small fireball suddenly split into two after leaving the hand, turning into two smaller fireballs. The small fireballs drew two different arc trajectories, one from the left and the other from the right. They hit the fireballs shot towards Helix from both sides, and then were annihilated at the same time as the fireballs.

 "How can it be?"

 "How did he do that!"

Discussions arose, and the teenagers couldn't believe what they saw before their eyes.

 "Children, this is magic control!" Helix had a faint smile on his face.

"Professor, how did you do it?" Arthur was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up.

 All eyes in the classroom turned to Arthur...
