"Magic is hidden in the blood."

"Magic sees magic."

As for why blood dripped on the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone would glow. The Master Magician explained it in this way. He also said a few more words, saying that the brightness depends on whether the other party's cultivation potential is high enough. .

Bright enough is high enough.

This principle is not difficult to understand. The high concentration of magic in the blood means that learning magic will be fast in the future, which can save a lot of effort in cultivating people, but if the concentration is low, unless it is one's own blood, no one will Will cultivate patiently.

Of course, if they are from aristocratic families and don't care about magic, it doesn't matter to them if they have low magic talent, but if they don't have magic talent, it's very serious. Every year, there will be noble families who die because their children don't have magic talent. Doubt whether the origin of the other party is correct, or in other words, whether it is his own child.

Regarding this point, the church explained that there are nobles and commoners among the people of the gods. Therefore, there are children of nobles with or without magical talents.

This sentence is similar to "a dragon has nine sons, but the sons are different".

The reasoning is still passable, and it can calm the uneasiness in the hearts of the nobles, but their dislike for children without magical talent is still revealed on the surface. There is an almost unspoken rule that is aimed at such children without magical talent of.

If this kind of child is born in wedlock, the parents love it, and they may be raised to the point where they will be allocated part of the property, such as a manor or something. They can be separated from their brothers and sisters, and they can be clean, but it is inevitable. It is possible to completely become a commoner after two generations.

If it is an illegitimate child and is not favored, it may be abandoned directly.

If legitimate children are not favored and illegitimate children are favored, then they still have a choice of path, which is to enter the church and become a certain type of priest in the church. Naturally, they are not priests who must have magic.

In short, magic is a passing line. People above this line can enjoy better treatment, but below this line, even the children of nobles may not have a better future.

This is a bit cruel.

In this world, magic does not exist as a power for mortals to resist the gods, but as a power to prove that the gods love mortals. Without this kind of favor, it is difficult to be a nobleman.

Therefore, magic is sought after, but not so sought after. Many nobles with magical talents may not be able to use a few magics in their entire lives, but they will still learn, because this is the proof that they are favored by the gods, and it is also their The best proof of nobility.

As for Ji Mo, a talent with magical talents who was pulled out from the civilian inspection, the path is narrower. Unless they can successfully recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, otherwise, the blood of nobles who don't even know who their ancestors are, at best That is nothing more than an ordinary person with noble blood, and among the noble class, he is still the bottom.

If you want to change this result and the situation brought about by this result, you must show your magical talent as much as possible to win the respect you deserve.

"Can't I use magic to trace my bloodline and trace my origins, so as to find out what kind of family my ancestors were?"

Ji Mo was full of doubts about this.

"Magic sees magic, magic does not see magic."

The Master Magician's answer seemed to be inconsistent, but Ji Mo heard something. In his slightly puzzled eyes, waiting for proof, the Master Magician explained the principle to him.

There is an induction between two things that also have magic, just like the magic stone will light up when it touches the blood of a person with magic talent. When there is a special magic plant in a certain perceivable range, magic Teacher Master will also be able to sense it, this is "magic sees magic".

"Seeing" without human vision.

"Magic is invisible to magic", which explains the mystery of magic. It seems that magic can do anything. Even a blade of grass can be full of vitality because of magic, and has unparalleled kinetic energy. But magic can be traced to the source. is only superficial.

Not only is it impossible to find the source of a certain blood, but it is also impossible to find the source of a certain magical thing, which is determined by the secrecy of magic.

"I understand, it's fine if it's an ordinary thing."

Ji Mo nodded. Magic can be understood as a protective film. When any kind of thing, including people, has this protective film, its past is invisible.

Similarly, magic can also be understood as a kind of wave. When using magic to release some kind of search wave, when encountering the existence of this inherent wave, phenomena such as reflection and refraction will occur, resulting in inaccurate results.

Such words are not incomprehensible, but... If you apply the scientific method, such as genetics, genetics, blood type analysis, etc., you will find it somewhat unreasonable, but why do you have to apply it? ?

The world is different, so why do you think all the prevailing norms are the same?

Without getting too entangled in this issue, Ji Mo's life quickly returned to calm.

The arrival of the priest was temporary. He took away the two children who made the Philosopher's Stone light up. The youngest of the two children was only six years old, and the older one was ten years old. They were not brothers, but they were taken away. At that moment, they were like brothers. Perhaps even the closest brothers could not understand their friendship formed from sharing joys and sorrows together.

The people in the village watched silently, they didn't beat gongs and drums, all the joy was only when they knew that someone was chosen, at that time, the priest left two magic stones for the village, this kind of magic that is used as consumables Stones are very important items when there is a magic circle.

"This way we won't be forgotten by the priest!"

The village chief said that what he valued was not the magic stones of the magic circle. Of course, the existence of these can save some labor, but for them, the most important thing is to be remembered and know that they are here, so that they can live in the world. Beast tide or some dangerous things are remembered.

It is impossible for ordinary people to resist the tide of beasts on their own, so it is best for someone to come to the rescue.

In this world, priests are generally responsible for this kind of rescue work, so how to make priests remember is obviously more worthy of the village head's attention than having a wandering magician in the village.

As for the child taken away by the priest, maybe he will become a priest in the future, who knows?Anyway, he didn't expect them to come back when they grew up.

It is not a common thought in this world to come back to build your hometown after you finish your studies.

Ji Mo is really a little uncomfortable with this, and always feels that this kind of disregard is like a buyout transaction, completely selling the child.

I don't know if those children who left their hometown think so.

"Do it again and let me see."

The master magician glanced at Ji Mo impatiently. He just taught him a simple magic pattern. The magic that is easy to cast has only one effect, which is extraction.

The juice is extracted from the plants. This kind of extraction is so simple and rough that it can be replaced without magic. You can also get the juice by directly crushing the plants, but you need to filter it. It is not as pure as the magic extraction.

"Ah."

Ji Mo was a little nervous. He would be nervous when casting a magic for the first time, even if the magic was very simple.

He doesn't know how to mobilize that power, the vague existence is like that blurred fragrance, floating in the air without knowing its final destination, when you think you can see the direction, it disappears again.

For the first time, it seems to be out of state, without success.

"Be serious! Your magic should have recovered, don't pretend to be under the effect of drugs..."

Master Magician is not humane at all.

Ji Mo's face was slightly reddened. It has been several days, and of course it is impossible to still be under the effect of the medicine, so... luck is needed?

It's really bad. The teachers in this world are obviously not very good at lecturing, and there is no way to explain it more thoroughly in a way that I can understand. So, be more attentive, and more attentive...

When the mental power is concentrated, there will always be miracles.

A plant placed on the table seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and then, above the plant, a ball of light green juice gradually gathered, more and more, and finally condensed into a small ball like an emerald , is not a solid state, but a liquid state surrounded by invisible bubbles.

"Next step, it's time to change the magic graphics!"

The magician clicked on a piece of paper, and there was a magic figure on the paper. Ji Mo glanced at it. He actually learned it, but when he used it, he couldn’t think of it for a while. He had to concentrate and not be distracted. , and then use a similar feeling to trace the same magic figure. When the figure is completed, the magic has entered the next step, and the liquid wrapped in invisible bubbles falls into the beaker on the side.

The light green liquid in the glass beaker spread out quickly, fitting the shape of the beaker perfectly. After Ji Mo broke off the magic control, they fell on the bottom of the beaker exactly like water falling from the sky , not a lot, a superficial layer, but it makes people feel very successful.

"good."

The Mage praised it reservedly.

A smile appeared on Ji Mo's pale face, and he raised his hand to touch it, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Obviously, these two spells were not easy for him.

"Don't use magic when your energy is low, it will make your condition worse, or even die directly."

The master magician warned Ji Mo, causing him to jump back to his original place with a little joy. The coldness in those dark green eyes was like a basin of cold water, which made people's brain suddenly sober.

"Yes, I know."

Ji Mo stood up straight unconsciously, and promised that he would cherish his life very much, before the task was completed.
