Archmage Daily Research Report

The association of the future made me full of pressure, and the sense of urgency made me act immediately. I dug out the books I borrowed a few days ago, and began to copy the key words and spells as quickly as possible. These are the restricted spells I borrowed from the Central University Library The book is a precious ancient book, and I have to be an academician of the research institute to have the right to borrow it. If I am downgraded to an assistant, I will no longer be able to touch even a piece of paper.In case I become a big devil, I have to hurry up and run away, and I won't have the opportunity to take notes!

Oops, I'm out of ink!

Only the handwriting of a mage has magic power. The ink specially prepared by alchemy can perfectly record the state of magic power of a mage at that time-it is impossible to cast spells without spells. Even ordinary people can read spells more clearly than news anchors. , and still can't send out half a spark, and the archmage may not need to say it out loud, and can cast high-level spells just by thinking.

Therefore, as a mage, you need to practice thousands of times, and constantly adjust your magic power and spiritual power, in order to master the best state of casting a spell. If you don't open spell notes, you have to prepare spells in advance when you encounter important events occasionally.Photograph?video?That won't work. In this age of advanced information, those dangerous and forbidden spells are hung on the Internet openly, but why haven't they caused large-scale harm?

——The text on the Internet has not passed through the hands of a mage, it is just some useless codes, even if it is a video of a mage casting a spell, that spell is no different from the special effects of a movie, so it will not burst out of your light screen.

It took me two nights to copy this book. There is no way, the magical phenomena in it will be clearer at night, so I slept for a while during the day.

When I was resting at noon on the second day, I was woken up by a knock on the door, and it was Renault who ordered takeaway for me... I wanted to refuse, but the delivery staff said that the gentleman who ordered the meal paid a large sum of money , requesting that the order cannot be refunded anyway, if I don't want it, they will have to pay ten times the compensation.

Well, this is indeed the Renault style of doing things.

I sighed and accepted the takeaway, which was enough for me to eat for three days!They even came with cutlery, and my desk was so full of manuscripts that I had to remove the bedding to put them on the bed.

These few staff members have well-trained smiles and don't feel that my cramped hut does not match their luxurious tableware.They even stated that the tableware is brand new and made to order and does not need to be returned.

... I don't understand. Mephisto has already arrived in this city. Could it be that Renault has no confidence and is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the archmage, so he is holding on to me as a substitute?

It shouldn't be. Your Excellency, the Speaker of the Federal Magic Council, is eloquent when facing political opponents. He is not afraid of assassins in danger, and he is dexterous in receiving heads of state. I admire him for not being conceited. How could he be inferior.

He must be busy like an overloaded golem now, and he is still thinking about whether I go out for dinner.What is Renault planning?Expect me to change my mind?

Hmm...that would be ridiculous.

I ate something, picked up my books and rushed to the Central University Library. I need to read a few more restricted ancient books before my academician status is revoked!

The Central Library is located in the central urban area of ​​the capital, the Holy Light City. The name of the Holy Light City is very old, and it got its name from the Temple of Light that has been located in the hills on the outskirts of the city for thousands of years.During the "glorious years" when technology was just emerging and all traditional magic was severely damaged, the capital was once renamed Xinxing City, and then changed back. She is like a huge museum of the times, where you can find relics of various ages, Interspersed between the high-rise buildings of the new century, from time to time interspersed with aerial tracks and magic teleporters that have long been popularized by the common people——

Yes, magic teleportation, most people love to use it now, the distance of more than half a city in the blink of an eye, except for a few people who are inherently oversensitive to the quantum of magic teleportation, which will cause dizziness or even shock.

The magic teleporter and the ancient teleportation magic circle are two things in essence. Although their final effects are similar, technology and magic are after all very different.Restoring the ancient teleportation array is a project I am working on. Magic inheritance once lost a lot of precious property under the pressure of technology. The method of making and using the teleportation array was lost early, and there are almost no traces in archaeology. It is probably to avoid teleportation during the war. When the formation encountered an invasion, it was simply destroyed.I guess it may be removed as a cancer of the old age, but the bitter fruit is indeed eaten by everyone - according to the records of Fengwuzhi, before the magic technology invented the transmission device, people who couldn't afford a car suffered on the subway and bus. The documentary has also shown the surveillance video of the last Shenji subway. The carriage looks like a can of sardines. I guess if I go up for a ride, I will be a salted fish when I get down. Let alone the experiment, I can even fireball All techniques have to be forgotten.

Modern transportation is much more convenient and smooth. Public air rails and light airships are fast and not crowded; the styles of private air vehicles are changing with each passing day, and air locomotives are also very popular, and there are dedicated lanes to go; the use fee of public transmission equipment A little expensive, but still within the acceptable range of the working class.

As for the traffic problems caused by large-scale international events, this is still abnormal after all.

I have always thought of this thing as a Berserker Berserker Exchange Conference. Its correct name is "International Spell Exchange Seminar Summit". It, and even entertainment stars ready to add to the fun at the opening ceremony...

The Oslant Federation attaches great importance to magic, so this summit is led by the Federation and held regularly in the capital City of Light. In fact, I heard (Leno) that not only mages participated, but the priests in the temple sent up to two symbolic vases Well, the druid didn't speak the whole time, and was caught by the media secretly turning into a cat and sleeping on a chair, and the warlock... as long as it was the home court of the mage, they would at most squeeze in a soy sauce.

Anyone who can use spells can be called a spellcaster. Although most people think of a spellcaster as a mage, but from the correct meaning, a spellcaster is a collective term. This term includes not only us mages, but also alchemists. , magicians, druids, etc., oh... well, there are also warlocks, and there are still a lot of them.

Now many laymen can't tell the difference, not to mention the difference between the fireballs of warlocks and mages, even druids and mages are sometimes confused, and the unscrupulous media even created the word "magician" to use it Describe all the people who can use magical power in their eyes. The most ridiculous thing is that I even saw a reporter pointing at a plainclothes paladin and calling "magician". The literacy is really enough. Fortunately, they didn't call the mage a juggler or a magician, otherwise the mage would really explode in anger.

Of course, any reporter who dares to call a mage a warlock will definitely be beaten violently.Since ancient times, orthodox mages have looked down on bloodline spellcasters such as warlocks and witches. Witches are extremely rare now. As for warlocks, I admit that we just look down on them openly. Who let them rely on bloodline talent for a lifetime? They are all born, but they can't improve, their magic can't be learned, and they don't need to learn. What they are when they are born, they will still be in that state when they die. Most warlocks spend their lives throwing fireballs and chaotic arrows meaninglessly. No academic contribution!

……

A few blocks ahead gathered a lot of onlookers. Even though TV and webcasts are quite developed, many people are still willing to join in the fun. Around the Shengguang Square, flowers and red carpets are newly decorated, and the crowd is looking forward to it. All kinds of aircraft lowered their altitude along the road and drove into the square, and various dignitaries attending the meeting arrived one after another.

This is great, I watched the bustling scene from a distance, and I thought there must be no one in the library.

The facts are similar to what I guessed, especially in the area of ​​magic-related books. I know that many colleagues in the courtyard can’t wait to go to the scene to watch. Even if they can only stand on the side of the road and stretch their necks like ordinary people, they still enjoy it. Dao, as if being sprayed across the face by the exhaust of the aircraft is tantamount to participating in this so-called magic event.

The LCD screen in the library is also broadcasting live. Although the conference will be officially held tomorrow, this is enough to be an excuse to get together in advance.

"...The speech of Archmage Mephisto Madsen is the one that attracts the most attention. After the speeches of the Prime Minister and the Speaker tomorrow, Master Madsen will be the first to give a speech. At that time, he will..."

Oh...it's him again.

When I didn't know that I was Mephisto's double, I didn't realize that his name appeared so often.

I raised my head subconsciously, the camera had switched, and the screen happened to be Renault’s face, his expression was solemn yet friendly, his hair was combed back meticulously, and the gorgeous robe of the chairman of the magic council made him look extraordinary, especially when he was standing Among the many high-ranking officials with wrinkled faces, they looked like peacocks that were emitting hormones.

So it seems that my worries are superfluous, he should be ready to pursue Mephisto.That meal might count as breakup compensation?This routine is often used in the president's articles that Jasmine reads.

They should have met by now. Renault also said a little about work in the past. Before the official start of this kind of international event, the main participants will walk around the venue privately and make a string of words to avoid anything happening. It was accidentally broadcast live to the whole world——When the Dragon King of the Holy Dragon Empire visited five years ago, dozens of dragon knights took off on the dragon together before leaving. The wig of the marshal of the Magical Corps, the video of the poor marshal chasing the wig and defeating Mephisto to slaughter the orc, has occupied the number one hot search on social networks for a whole year.

I also saw that all the high-level executives of the Academy of Magic were present, ah, this is really rare and clean for me!They won't be parachuting me for a while.

The collection of ancient magic books is very remote, and the collection of books here is also very different from the regular books outside. None of them are printed, and all of them are precious ancient manuscripts. No one in the past would copy many spells or research results. The copies are scattered everywhere, so every copy here is an orphan, and many of them are even unearthed cultural relics from the ruins of the ancient mage tower, which were once the private handwriting of a legendary mage in history.

I love these tall bookshelves so much. They reach the dome in rows. I can't see the top even if I look up and my neck hurts. I have to fly up.The sun shines on these thick and simple books through the transparent dome, and the books near the top are illuminated golden and shining. They have been touched by countless pairs of hands pursuing knowledge, and I can smell the ink and dust.

The space here is very large, and the shadows cast by those huge bookshelves make the ground must be lit all the time. Walking here makes me feel quiet and comfortable. When I run my fingers across the spines of the books, it seems that I can still hear the writer's thoughts whispering among the papers. The words are spiritual. Yes, they are not just records of knowledge, they are passed down along with ideas.

Regardless of the content of the works of ancient mages, their writing attitude is absolutely rigorous and solemn. In modern times, there are still so-called mages who publish papers on the Internet, and there are also some public online lectures for grandstanding. These ancient mages who wrote spell books carefully knew that they would definitely team up with a forbidden spell to blast over it, destroying the world.

The library provides some small levitators to facilitate the selection of high-level books, but a real mage doesn't need these things to get in the way.

I floated on the top of the rows of bookshelves. The easy-to-understand introductory-level books are within easy reach, while the advanced and even dangerous books are stored in a high place, separated by magical protective barriers, and some books are more than content. Obscurity, in and of itself carries a dangerous protection against ancient black magic.

I took out a book that tried to bite my neck off, and pressed its teeth to turn a few pages. The content was not very attractive, but its teeth felt good, smooth and delicate, so I couldn't help touching it again and again until The book made a sound of crying.

After turning around, I found the target——

"Space Magic"

This book is called this general name, it is very thick, and the words are written very casually, but I feel a strong magic power. This may be written by a certain archmage during research, not a special book biography, the name The perfunctory may be because the content is extensive, and he writes whatever he researches, or, out of a certain confidence, he thinks that what he wrote is enough to explain the true meaning of space magic.

Then you have to read it to know. I think maybe I can find some experience about teleportation spells.

Immediately I flew over and reached for the book—

But at the same time, the other hand touched mine. That hand was just as slender, with well-defined joints, and the fingertips were rounded and neat. But like mine, there was still a little bit of corrosion on the skin caused by magic materials, so that it was too White and lacking in blood, well-manicured nails are bluish in color, not rosy enough.

The owner of that hand and I were stunned for a moment. We probably didn't expect that there were other mages around at this time.

Turning my head, I almost thought that this book had unleashed some kind of dangerous vision, or that I was not careful enough to get confused or even hallucinogenic.

The owner of that hand was floating in the air like me, and was also turning his head to look at me.

That turned out to be Mephisto Madsen.
