Main Text Volume Chapter 55 Meeting

Among the stars, cloud whales shuttled through thin clouds.

If it weren't for the surrounding clouds and mist that kept appearing and disappearing, Angel wouldn't have felt the whale move in the clouds at all.

If he could also own a large mount like the Cloud Whale, could he travel around the world with his brother and mentor?

Angel's idea was beautiful, but he probably didn't know that the cost of feeding the cloud whales even exceeded the annual expenses of a small wizard organization.

While Angel was thinking about it, Flora had already taken him outside the gorgeous tent where Sanders was.

"Go in, the instructor is waiting for you."

Angel thought Flora would go in with him, but Flora seemed to have no intention of going with him.

Opening the tent curtain, Angel walked in politely.

The tent looked small, but the space inside was really large. Angel guessed that there might be some kind of space witchcraft inside, because he found that the black tent cloth was glittering with golden runes.

"Are you surprised?" Sanders was still dressed in a black dress, sitting at the desk with his legs crossed. He was not wearing gloves, and he crossed his smooth and slender fingers and looked at Angel through his golden unilateral glasses.

"Good evening, mentor." Angel followed the aristocratic etiquette and made an arm-in-arm salute.

"There is no need to be restrained. As a student of Sanders, you should have your own character. I don't want to train students who don't even know who they are." Sanders finished, "I'm surprised that the space here is better than what it looks like from the outside. Does it look big?"

"Well. Is this what a wizard does?"

"It's a wizard's method, but not all wizards can do it, including me." Sanders picked up his cane and pointed to the golden runes on the tent cloth: "To extend the space, it's not a simple step. It can be said that a lot of things are used in it. The material of the tent cloth is a product of alchemy, and the symbols flashing on it are magic patterns that stabilize the space. "

"Just to achieve these two steps, you need to be proficient in alchemy and magic patterns. As for how to extend space, it is another subject." Sanders: "This is a wizard. Many things cannot be summarized in a simple sentence. You Are you ready to enter the world of wizards?"

Sanders' few simple words made Angel feel like a shining golden door had opened in front of him. Behind this door was another world different from the current world, full of formulas and symbols, dangers and opportunities. , the world of beginning and end, truth and philosophy, its name is: Wizarding World.

Angel nodded heavily. He was already ready. Even if it wasn't for his mentor, he still wanted to step into the world of wizards. If the journey of life is not exciting, he would rather die!

Sanders nodded with satisfaction. Even though he accepted Angel because his talent was of great use to him, now that he has become his student, he must be responsible for Angel's future.

"I estimate that the apprentice named Moro once gave you popular science knowledge about wizards. So, what I want to tell you now is... If you want to embark on the path of a real wizard, then from today on, forget Everything that person said, wizard is not a definition, you have to see it yourself, think about it yourself when you encounter problems, and find your own path as a wizard."

Sanders led Angel to a cubicle. There were more than a dozen double-sided bookshelves filled with books. Each bookshelf was four or five meters high. There was a pulley on the aisle in the middle of the bookshelf. of push ladder.

"How to look at it, how to think about it, is another question." Sanders pointed to the full bookshelf: "Before this, you have to understand a lot of basic things. These are my private collections. After returning to the barbaric Before entering the cave, this place will be open to you around the clock. You can see and learn whatever you want. However, I want to remind you first that you only need to understand the guidance methods and some low-level tricks here. It is best not to go there rashly. study."

"Of course, if your goal is just to be promoted to a wizard, then it's up to you whether you want to learn or not."

After Sanders finished speaking, he threw him a gold coin. On the front of the gold coin was a row of universal Chinese characters: "The rose is undefeated and the glory lasts forever."

On the back is a pattern: a long sword with its wings spread out, stuck on a rose of thorns.

This was a typical aristocratic emblem. Angel looked at Sanders with some confusion, wondering why he threw this emblem to him.

"This is the tent's pass. With it, you can enter here at will. If you don't have the pass, a backlash from the magic energy array will turn you into dust."

A living person turned into dust? Angel shuddered suddenly when he thought of that scene. He didn't expect that even entering a tent would be dangerous... Sure enough, everything belonging to the wizard needs to be handled with caution, otherwise, one mistake will lead to eternal hatred!

"Okay, now you want to go back or stay here, it's up to you."

Angel saw that Sanders' words meant leaving. He came here today and his biggest doubt had not yet been solved, so he quickly said: "Tutor, can I ask a question?"

Sanders turned back and smiled at Angel.

In Angel's expectant eyes.

"Can't."

Sanders turned and walked away.

When Sanders smiled, Angel fully expected to get permission. He had even thought of the wording of the question, but he didn't expect that Sanders refused without mercy and left without hesitation.

By the way, was he being teased? ! If you don’t give me hope, you’re just smiling like a fool!

Watching Sanders leave, Angel felt filled with resentment.

"I know what you want to ask. I will tell you when you become a wizard apprentice." Sanders's ethereal voice reached Angel's ears from afar.

Sanders left. Angel thought he could get the answer today, but he got nothing.

It seems that the uneasy mood will continue. However, this time here is also a gain. It is also a pleasure to read here without a tablet. Not to mention, the books here are all books related to wizards. For Angel, who has received more than ten years of scientific education, it is definitely a feast of collision and fusion of new and old knowledge.

Looking at the rare books, Angel's mood is just like flying to the clouds.

But what makes Angel a little puzzled is that there are not many rare leather scrolls here, most of them are pulp paper bindings.

In the Goldfinch Empire, leather scrolls are a kind of record method that is particularly favored by the upper class, while pulp paper bindings are more popular among ordinary people. The price difference between the two is huge, which also indirectly proves the preciousness of leather scrolls.

But in Sanders' collection, there are very few rare leather scrolls, and they are all piled in corners. If you look closely, you can find a thick layer of dust on them, which shows that Sanders does not attach much importance to rare leather scrolls.

There are more than ten bookshelves, and 95% of them are pulp and paper bound books.

"Could it be that pulp and paper bound books are the mainstream communication medium in the prosperous continent?" Angel picked up a thick pulp and paper bound book at random.

The title of the book is "A Review of Fifteen Popular Meditation Methods in the Sleepless Country".

Meditation method is actually the guidance method. In ancient times, meditation method was more often called it. In modern times, due to the rise of the ideographic school, the "meditation method" with a hint of idealism was renamed "guidance method" by some people. Later, after it spread, the wizards thought that the guidance method was also quite appropriate and continued to use it.

There is also an interesting story about the name. There was a wizard apprentice who, perhaps unable to bear the dullness of the Guidance Method, published a rebuttal article in a small journal for wizard apprentices one day. The content was mysterious and not worth mentioning, but the follow-up led to a "war" that lasted for many years.

It was the famous name dispute between "Guidance Method" and "Meditation Method".

It was probably the wizard version of the salty and sweet tofu pudding dispute. In fact, everyone was watching the show with a joking attitude and occasionally fanning the flames.

Later, even some formal wizards were dragged into this muddy mess, making the southern wizard world laugh and cry.

The wizard apprentice who first published the rebuttal article may not have thought that it would cause such a "uproar".

...

After Angel opened the book, he found that the paper inside was white and smooth, the pulp was fine and there was no convex mark, and the black printing was clearly visible. Compared with the yellowed and grayed paper of the Goldfinch Empire, it was many times better.

After reading it for a while, Angel's prejudice against pulp paper binding was completely dispelled.

This clean and clear paper print with a scent of ink will be loved by all book lovers!

Angel felt that reading with such a book would make him feel much happier. No wonder the precious leather scrolls of the tutor were covered with dust on the bookshelf!
