Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

In the courtyard of the El-Melloi Manor, Weber and Xia Yuan were walking and talking. time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since he arrived at Kenneth's manor.

From that day on, the group of monarchs and senior officials in the Clock Tower immediately blocked the scene and waited for him in place for three full days.

Finally, he thought that Gemstone Weng might have teleported him to other places, and then he was willing to lift the blockade and leave.

During this period, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles that would affect his study progress, Xia Yuan followed Kenneth's arrangements and did not continue to study at the Clock Tower, nor did he appear in London. He stayed in Egypt most of the time. Learn magic from the great library of the Almero School.

Relying on his current physical advantage, which is almost imperceptible to fatigue, Xia Yuan can learn as much knowledge as possible in the limited time. Coupled with the soul's absolute compatibility with magic, the learning speed of magic can be said to be rapid.

Therefore, seeing Xia Yuan studying for more than ten hours a day and never stopping, Weber felt as if he had seen a ghost, especially when he found that Xia Yuan's health and complexion had not changed at all under such circumstances. At that time, he said to him meaningfully with admiration:"You have a good stomach."

During this period of independent study, Xia Yuan was not without difficulties. But what he didn't expect was that the biggest enemy that hindered his progress was language. Although he had gone through a period of intensive training before coming, his English literacy level still had serious problems. Generally speaking, he has barely reached CET-6, and just reading some simple English newspapers and making daily calls are already his limit.

Ahadon from the Einzbern side was still considerate. Knowing that Xia Yuan's English was not very good, he summoned androids to translate the information into a language that Xia Yuan was familiar with overnight.

Now he was asked to translate and understand the dense and obscure Old English in the magic book by himself. This kind of thing would cost Xia Yuan his life. Many of the words and syllables only exist in the memory of magicians, and even translation software cannot find them. If it weren't for the theoretical genius Weber who helped him translate and explain, Xia Yuan would have sent it here directly.

When I was in Fuyuki City, the magicians followed the local customs and used Japanese to communicate with each other, but no one in London knew that.

He is not Kamijou Touma. The whole world knows that Kamijou Touma's English is very poor, so the magician who arrives will communicate with him in the same language to prevent himself from talking a lot, and Kamijou Touma will reply with"Huh?" It’s a ridiculous phenomenon that I don’t even understand.

But he doesn't have as much reputation as Touma, so he can only get familiar with English and improve his English level again.

Therefore, during this week, Xia Yuan spent the rest of the time reviewing ancient English and learning and developing his own magic knowledge, except for the necessary sleep and rest time.

This fulfilling schedule helped him dream back to the busy days of preparing for high school exams.

In fact, Xia Yuan, who has the Third Law as his core and whose body has undergone transformation, has long transcended the category of human beings. Even work, rest and sleep are just rules he imposed on himself.

Xia Yuan had not felt the so-called fatigue and hunger for a long time. He could feel that the vitality and magic power flowing and still being produced in his body could be said to be endless. Fatigue, hunger, and all kinds of negative feelings had long been combined with this body. The body has no chance. In this way, he has become a special creature beyond human beings, just like those natural elves and true ancestors.

Is such a change good or bad for me? Xia Yuan doesn't know.

But he was worried that if he lived in this state for a long time, with the gradual adaptation and obliteration, he would be separated from human beings and no longer himself, and his soul and body would also become undead like those true ancestors.

So he set many rules for himself to restrain himself from deviating too much.

More than a week has passed. After these days of crazy supplementation, Xia Yuan feels that his English level has improved a lot, and he has reached the level where he can communicate with the locals without any barriers.

Glancing at Weber, who was lying on the table next to him and was unconscious from exhaustion, Xia Yuan pulled a blanket from the wall and covered him.

During this week, Weber not only had to deal with the extracurricular homework left by Kenneth, but also tutored and explained the relevant knowledge of magic to him. He was obviously exhausted.

Although it was already dawn, Xia Yuan was not ready to wake up Weber. He stretched out his finger and tapped it in the air to draw a butterfly that landed on Weber's head.

Soon, the soothing magic on the butterfly began to work, and Weber fell into a deeper sleep, letting out a shallow snoring sound between his breaths.

"Sweet dreams." he said softly

……

……

Close your eyes and enter dreamland.

Xia Yuan once again entered the dreamland to visit his old friend, the old dream demon known as Great Britain's court swordsman and magician, the big-eared Mr. Merlin.

However, when meeting Xia Yuan this time, Merlin was obviously not as happy as before. It could even be said that he was a little scared.

Xia Yuan said enthusiastically:"Merlin, I'm here to see you again."

Merlin's face was horrified:"Don't come over!!!"

It's not that Merlin is not interested in Xia Yuan, it's just that he has seen through Xia Yuan's character.

No, or Xia Yuan's attitude towards him.

As a dandruff monster who has lived for a thousand years, he is still confident in his vision of people.

He was convinced that in Xia Yuan's eyes, he was just a poor tool.

This master is also a master who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. Every time he comes to see him, he definitely needs help with something.

Some time ago, because I helped him with something, he actually walked through the gate of hell. He was almost cut off by that person with a knife, and completely entered the Seat of Heroes.

This caused Merlin to want to run away when he saw Xia Yuan. body reaction.

This guy is here to trick me again

"You come back first. I am looking for you this time because I have something serious to ask you for advice."Xia Yuan grabbed Merlin who was trying to slip away and said

"This time it does not involve the root form, nor does it have anything to do with gods. It is just a purely academic discussion and will not trick you."

"Really?"

Merlin turned around

"real."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"I do not believe."

Merlin frowned. Sure enough, he still wanted to run away.

But after the two of them had a simple fight, Merlin still stayed.

Xia Yuan was someone he cared about very much, and one of the very few he could talk to. Human. Although he had tricked him, he had indeed helped him a lot. Before leaving, it would be best to listen to what Xia Yuan wanted him to do before deciding whether to help him.

……

"I promised you in advance that I won’t risk my life to help you do dangerous things this time."

"Okay, okay, listen to me first."

Half an hour later, after Xia Yuan's detailed explanation,

Merlin was convinced that he was not here to trick him this time. In this case, it would be okay for his smart and noble brother to help him.

He scratched his head , briefly analyzed several questions raised by Xia Yuan, and then gave answers

"In this case, it's really interesting."

"Because your own magic power and circuits are too large, it is difficult for you as the body to control the output. Even using the simplest magic will cause devastating effects, right?"Merlin touched his chin and briefly analyzed

"That's right."Xia Yuan nodded.

"This situation is very rare. The third method contained in the body can completely act as a magic perpetual motion machine. Not only that, the body also has nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine magic circuits. This combination is really terrifying."

"Although I can feel endless power now, it is difficult to control it. Even if I try my best to reduce the output equivalent, ordinary magic will be strengthened hundreds of times in my hands, and both quality and quantity will increase exponentially."Xia Yuan paused and continued.

"There are many problems involved here, so I want you to help me understand the specific solutions."

It would be okay if it was in a state that was not fully developed before. Although I can feel the increase in power, it is not such an uncontrolled expansion. It is still within a controllable range.

But since Gemstone Man appeared in the world rift After pouring several parallel world magic powers into his body, his body became more and more uncontrollable.

His power was always at its peak, and his magic power was endless, but the output equivalent was also fixed, no matter how he controlled it. The effect was devastating.

In just one week, the forest where the El-Melloi family lived had been blasted countless times.

Since he could not find a solution, Xia Yuan thought of this person he knew. The most accomplished creature in magic——Merlin

"As for a solution, the most convenient one is to seal the magic circuit, as long as it is reduced to an appropriate number."Merlin touched his chin and began to come up with the ideas he thought of.

"But this method is of no use to you"

"After all, the number of circuits in your body can already be called a magic circuit. Unless you are completely sealed, there will be no particularly significant effect."

Xia Yuan nodded. It's not like he hasn't thought of this method before.

Just as Merlin said, his entire body is covered by magic circuits. Even if it is sealed, it cannot be sealed.

"As for other methods……"Merlin thought for a while and then made his own suggestion

"All that's left is to improve your control over your own magic power."

"Are you talking about improving your control over your own magic power?"Xia Yuan shook his head and replied

"I have also thought about this method, but as you know, Merlin, control and magic are different. It does not mean that the ability can be improved by improving. If you want to improve, you need to accumulate experience in your own magic, and you have to constantly adapt. If we start now, how long will it take to master so many circuits?"

"——Control.

Merlin spread his hands,"It is true that this thing cannot be improved by improving it. You can only rely on the magician's own accumulation and perception, and no one else can help you.""

"However, you can seek help from outside objects."

"Seeking help from outside objects?"

Merlin didn't show off and gave the answer directly:"For example, a special magic costume, or a magic eye."

"There are auxiliary gifts and magic eyes that enhance the use of one's own magic power. Some magicians use such magic gifts or magic eyes in order to make the best use of their limited magic power. Although the effect improvement is usually not very significant, it just so happens that your current situation is the most suitable for using these special things."

As a British court magician, Merlin's vision is still very high. After a short period of thinking, he quickly helped Xia Yuan come up with a suitable solution.

"First find a specific gift or magic eye and equip it on your body to simply restrict and strengthen your own power, and then gradually familiarize yourself with and regain your original power."

"Even if you encounter a really tough enemy, you can take off your costume and release all your power, which is equivalent to the boss entering the second form in the game. You can scare the enemy to death with all your experience. How about this idea?"

"You mean prefetch and persist?"

Xia Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, and understood Merlin's suggestion, and thought about it carefully.

He found that Merlin's suggestion seemed feasible.

"Ah la la, that’s what it means, how about it? Big brother's idea is very good, right?"

"It is indeed possible, but……"

"Well, it's very difficult. After all, the magic power in your body is exaggerated. It is difficult for modern magicians to create a gift that can limit you."

"So can you do it?"

"Of course, who do you think I am? Merlin patted his chest and said confidently:"I'm not boasting. Although I usually prefer to use the holy sword to kill people, my magic level has definitely not fallen behind. Even that little girl Morgan Le Fay is so powerful in front of me." Not enough to see. Except for King Solomon in person, I have never convinced anyone in terms of magic skills."

"……"

The two looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.

Then Xia Yuan stretched out his hand——

"Help me Merlin, I know too little about magic and have many things to worry about. For this reason, I have to ask for your help, my friend."

Friends?

Friendship between inhuman things and inhuman things?

This surprised Merlin, because no one had ever said such words to him, and no one had ever really extended a hand to him.

Sunshine and petals entwined in the dream Holding his palm, Merlin saw his warm smile along his arm, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Forget it, I will help you again. Who made me establish a relationship with you, a nasty guy?"

As he said this, he took Xia Yuan's hand and looked at it with a smile.

"The time I have been in contact with you can be considered a rare happy time for me in this thousand years. Anyway, I have helped you so many times, and this time is not bad."

"Thanks"

"You're welcome, but I hope that next time when I'm in trouble, you will be so unscrupulous to me, my friend."

Merlin looked into Xia Yuan's eyes and said seriously.

"Of course, I assure you, grudges will be repaid"

"Ah, you look more and more like that Avenger, but... I believe you"

"Okay, that’s enough chatting. Now, relax. Before helping you make your costume, let me ask your big brother to help you see how your body is developing."

Merlin's dirty hands were already touching Xia Yuan's body.

"climb!"

With Xia Yuan's kick in the dream, the two of them fell into a moment of fun again.

……

……

On the other side, Kenneth was a little irritable in the owner's mansion.

When he saw the pile of magic letters on the table, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Just like a group of hyenas on the African grasslands will hunt them to death if they smell blood, these guys in the Clock Tower are obviously not going to give up easily.

Kenneth could also guess that they would not give up on Xia Yuan easily no matter what, even if he had clearly explained to them that Xia Yuan was his disciple and made his position clear. Even so, the group of hyenas will not give up. They will only change their method and dig their own corners more secretly.

The means justify the means, have no moral bottom line, and will do anything to achieve their goals. Magicians are such despicable creatures. Kenneth, who has been involved in high-level circles in the magic world for many years and has seen countless darkness, naturally knows this very well.

The envelopes piled up on the table were without exception the contents of the magic family's insinuations about Xia Yuan.

Although he didn't want to ignore it, he had to admit that given the status of these guys in the clock tower, it would be quite troublesome if they were all offended. Even as the monarch of the El-Melloi School, he couldn't offend them all by refusing at once. Kenneth could only reply to them one by one and deal with them.

Xia Yuan is his biggest card and must not be exposed.

Now the only person who knows that he is the third magician is himself, except for the gem man.

What pleased Kenneth was that Xia Yuan did not show any resistance to his recruitment by the El-Melloi School. This was a very good phenomenon.

As long as Xia Yuan doesn't reject him, there are ways to make him like him. He will subtly give him more favors and try to tie him to his chariot as soon as possible.

He has already asked Xia Yuan, to what extent has his control over the third magic reached?

I also learned that Xia Yuan is still in the exploratory stage of his magic. Although he can produce unlimited magic power with the third method of almost perpetual motion in his body, and can reach the maximum magic output with more than 9,000 magic circuits, although his strength is Far more than a few well-prepared monarchs joining forces.

But even so, these are only the roughest uses of the third magic. If it is just to simply produce magic power and accumulate magic power to explode, this is simply a waste of resources.

Xia Yuan was far from reaching the stage where he was able to apply the method skillfully and comprehensively to the level of Baoshi Weng. He still has doubts and confusion about the application of the third method.

So it will take some time.

The emergence of the new third magician will inevitably cause a huge sensation in the magic world, and unnecessary trouble will follow. Although Xia Yuan is confident that with his strength, he can be considered a top expert in the modern mysterious world, he is definitely not the strongest.

The hidden background of the three nobles in the Clock Tower, the most mysterious Wandering Sea, the hidden power of the Dead Apostles, Black Princess, White Princess, and White Winged Duke. There are also demonic forces in Southeast Asia such as Spiral Hall, Mountain Court, and even Atlas Academy. These demonic forces may not have the means to hurt or even kill themselves, let alone Zhu Yue, who once fought to the death with Gemstone Man. , even UOs.

The outside world of Xingyue World is never as simple as what appears to the eye. In any corner of the world, there may be dangers that could cause him to overturn.

Even a fully mastered third magician may only be able to squeeze into the first echelon of this world. What's more, it's him now, so he still needs more time to accumulate.

When he accumulates enough magic knowledge to explain the third method and uses it, it is also the time when he officially enters the high-end combat power of the moon world, and it is the time when he announces the arrival of the third magician to the world.

In Kenneth's opinion, that will also be the time when the El-Melloi school replaces the three nobles and becomes the number one school in the Clock Tower.

At this moment, the relationship between the two is in a complementary and mutually beneficial balance.

Xia Yuan has his value and ambition, and Kenneth also has his status and connections, and there is also a relationship called master and apprentice between them.

In order to win over Xia Yuan, no matter how much you pay, it is worth it. As long as Xia Yuan makes a request that he can fulfill, Kenneth will do his best to help him as a favor.

Even as long as Xia Yuan agrees to marry into the family, he can step down as the head of the family and let him become the new master of the El-Melloi School.

So the most troublesome thing now is to deal with those nobles.

"Oh yes, there is also the magic moment……"

Kenneth suddenly thought of something, and suddenly a familiar magic power suddenly broke into his range of perception, completely undisguised, as if saying to him:"I'm here." Entering his magic workshop.

As for who is coming?

Needless to say, apart from his fiancée, the only person who has the authority to enter and exit his magic workshop at will is Xia Yuan, who was given the authority not long ago.

Sora didn't like magic and would never take the initiative to enter his magic workshop. Every time he came to see him, the housekeeper would call him in advance. So it was self-evident who the visitor was.

But……

"Why did he come so quickly?"

Kenneth frowned in confusion.

He also knew that Xia Yuan could not stay in the big library for a long time, but it had only been a week. He originally planned to let Xia Yuan stay there for three months. But now He came to me so quickly. Even if he couldn't bear his temper, he wouldn't be so impatient, right? Doesn't magic learning need to be settled? Or is there something special about him?

Soon, there was a sign on the door. The restriction was broken, and Xia Yuan walked in as if nothing had happened.

Because he had the access permission given by Kenneth, Xia Yuan could pass through the entire manor at will without triggering the magic restrictions and alarms set in the mansion, even Kenneth's. He can also enter and exit the magic workshop freely.

"Teacher Kenneth, you look very busy."

Xia Yuan glanced at the pile of letters on the table and joked, then stretched out his hand and pulled out a chair and sat across from Kenneth.

"Huh, for a real monarch, this matter is nothing at all."

Kenneth snorted coldly, looked at Xia Yuan sitting opposite, and asked calmly

"What's wrong? Why did you come to see me specially? Is it a problem with the academics of magic, or are you unable to bear the boredom of staying here every day and want to leave?"

He felt a little uneasy. He was really worried that this kid would leave.

"Well, something did happen."

Xia Yuan nodded, put his hands on the table, and showed a serious look in his eyes.

"Teacher Kenneth, I have something to ask you for help."

"oh?

Kenneth raised his eyebrows, suppressed his inner excitement, and asked calmly:"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?""

Kenneth's heart is by no means as calm as he appears on the surface. It can even be said that he can't help but be ecstatic.

This is the first time that Xia Yuan has taken the initiative to seek help from him. For him, it is also an excellent opportunity to sell favors.. For this reason, no matter what Xia Yuan wants to do, Kenneth will use the power of the Archibalud family to provide him with unconditional help.

This is also the necessary principal payment when investing.

Xia Yuan does not know that Kenneth is there. What kind of calculation was he planning? I saw him pointing to his eyes, and then said:"Teacher Kenneth, as a person from a noble family, you must have some understanding of the miracles surrounding the European continent, the collection train of the Magic Eye.""

"Magic Eye Collection Train……"

Hearing this name, Kenneth's expression changed slightly, and he paused for a moment while putting down the teacup in his hand.

"Where did you hear this name?" he asked.
