After the sun had risen and set again, Austin fulfilled his promise and took Erina to the Navia estate on the outskirts. Lillian came out to open the door for him, and her brow furrowed when she saw Erina with her hand held by Austin.
"Why did you bring outsiders here?" said Lillian, in a cold tone, angry at Austen's presumptuousness.
"Hehe, she's my sister, I've been losing girls in and out of the city recently, I'm really worried that she's home alone, please forgive me. On the way here, he had already thought of an excuse, for fear that Lilian, a cold maid, would turn Erina away.
"Well, let her in first, but if you can let her stay in the manor, I'll need to ask the master. "Lillian is not hard-hearted, in fact, she has heard about the recent disappearance of the girl, and even Master Zecil has told her not to go out for the time being.
As soon as they heard that Lillian had passed the level, Austin and Irena were secretly relieved, and hurriedly followed her into the manor, and the next thing was to deal with Mage Zeciel, and the two of them couldn't help but cheer up.
In the kitchen on the first floor, Lillian brought Austin and Irena here, and as she had done last time, took out a sharp cutlery knife and a cork bottle. Needless to say, of course Austin knew what she was going to do, and the cost of the "Special Mage Bloodline Awakening Exercise Method" and learning the text had to be paid for with her own blood.
Irena turned her head in reluctance until Austin gently said to her, "Okay, you can turn back, you see, my wounds have been healed by this beautiful sister." As he spoke, he exposed his wrist, and there was only a faint scar left.
Lilian, who was praised for her beauty, hooked the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, and even her words became better, "You guys are waiting here now, I'll send the things to the master, and by the way, mention the matter of this girl." By the way, the rightmost drawer has some leftover sweets from last night, Austin that you can bring to your sister. "
"Thank you so much. Austin quickly pulled Erina and thanked her solemnly. He didn't expect to praise her, and he even got special care.
The desserts of Navia Manor are naturally not comparable to the cake shops in the ghetto, whether it is the selection of materials or the craftsmanship, it is definitely a level that can only be eaten in high-end banquets, and Irena, who has no resistance to sweets, almost devoured it, and even had no time to wipe a lot of snow white on the corners of her mouth, and Austin couldn't help but shake her head.
Lilian came back quickly this time, and brought back good news: "The master agreed to let her stay for the time being, and let you go up, he has something to ask you, as for this little girl, I will help you carry it for the time being." "
"Also, I forgot to ask, what about your robe? Speaking of this, Lilian's brows furrowed again, that robe was her most successful work, but she didn't expect this little gangster to even wear it.
"Ahem..."Austin blushed when asked about the awkward part, but still said truthfully: "Accidentally burned to ashes." "
Burned to ashes?Lillian suddenly thought that he might be in the same out-of-control situation as he had when he woke up, and if that was the case, he would definitely be a dangerous target. Forget it, this problem still worries the owner. So she waved her hand and motioned for him to hurry up and report to the study.
Knock~knock~knock~
"Come in. Master Zecier's deep, magnetic voice came from behind the door.
"Good day, Master. As soon as Austin entered, he bowed to the ground. Because there were additional requests today, he wanted to be more respectful.
"Boy, your life is so hard. Jersey even said what he had said twice before, "I have heard a little about you, hehe, I know that the Earl did it, and I dare to find it, do you want me to praise you for your bravery, or do you do things without brains?" "
"You know all about it?" Austin's face was full of surprise, how could Master Jersey know what had happened the day before yesterday.
The mage smiled mysteriously, took a crystal ball placed on the desk, and whispered a few incantations, something magical happened, and the picture began to appear in the crystal ball.
Austin wiped his eyes carefully and confirmed that the crystal ball was full of clips of the battle in the valley that day.
"The day before yesterday, I was experimenting with your blood sample, and all of a sudden, your blood exploded, and I couldn't figure it out, so I used a prophetic spell to detect you, and I happened to see this. Mage Jersey spoke. "I have to admit that your demon refining bloodline is too good, tell me quickly, how did you trigger the last spell, just looking at the power, it's almost the same as the level 4 spell 'Flame Impact'. "
Level 4 spells?Of course, Austin was willing to believe the judgment of a high-level spell, but he was only a level 1 special mage, how could he use a level 4 spell?But this doubt had to be suppressed first, now satisfying the mage's curiosity was the most important thing, and he had long wanted to share his discovery with others, so he didn't let go of any details, and told it all to Master Zecier.
"It's really interesting, the fixed spell model can still be changed, and it is a natural evolution, if it weren't for the fact that I have other topics to study now, I really want to pull you to study it in depth. Jersey couldn't help but pat his hands in admiration. "It seems that your blood sample blew up that day, because you induced the power of the blood origin, but I didn't expect that after dozens of miles, you could still sense each other. "
"Master, why can I use a level 4 spell even though I only have level 1?"
"That's a question. For example, a level 1 mage can only summon one missile when he uses the 'Magic Missile', but a level 9 mage can summon about 5 missiles when he uses the same spell, and its power and effect are similar to those of the level 4 spell 'Aiden's Minor Missile Storm'. "
"Are you saying that the caster's level will affect the power of the spell?" Austin felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't organize the words, so he could only speak a relatively superficial opinion.
Master Zecil nodded, but did not continue to explain, it is important to cultivate an apprentice's ability to think about problems, and take this opportunity to test his understanding.
Wait, he only said that the power of his spell was similar to that of a level 4 spell, that is, in fact, it was only a level 1 spell? Austin suddenly knew that he had thought of the key, and couldn't help but blurt out: "I'm still using a level 1 spell!"
Zecil nodded again, and finally spoke again, "That's right, you're still a special mage who can only use level 1 spells. As for why the power of your spells can become so great, it is because you have temporarily activated the power of the bloodline origin, in other words, at that moment, it is equivalent to your ancestors casting spells, and the natural flame master of legendary alchemy, when using low-level flame spells, the power will at least be multiplied. "
This time, the explanation was very detailed, and then in connection with his feelings when he cast the spell, Austin immediately realized and completely figured it out, it turned out that he still took advantage of the bloodline.
"That's good for special mages, as long as the bloodline is good enough, there will always be something amazing. The mage, on the other hand, must learn and accumulate knowledge step by step, and continue to explore the magic net in depth, only by deepening the perception and comprehension of the magic net, can he enhance his magic power in the process of casting spells.
But the pros and cons are always inseparable, and special mages have their own disadvantages, and if they abuse the power of the bloodline, they will one day get lost in it. Austen, you have to remember that, I don't want you to be someday dominated by mere instinct. "
Master Zecier's words were so serious that Austin also had a solemn face when he heard it, and tried to memorize every word he said in his heart.
"I'll keep it in mind!"
"Okay, that's the end of the question, let's talk about the little girl you brought over, I know you don't just don't worry about leaving her at home. Mage Jersey stared at Austin with piercing eyes, as if he had seen him through.
Austen, who was being targeted, wanted to find an opportunity to bring it up, but now he asked directly, and quickly said truthfully: "Master, I want you to agree to let her learn words from Lilian with me." "
"That's all?"
"... Then can I ask you to help her determine if she has the qualifications to become a mage's apprentice?"
For the sake of Irina's future, Austin also gave up and mustered up the courage to speak up in front of Zecill.
"Hehe, that's what you're looking forward to the most. "
"Yes. "
"No need to test, from today onwards, she is also my apprentice. Moreover, in order for you to master the writing as soon as possible and lay the foundation for becoming a mage's apprentice, from today onwards, you and her will not have to go home, but live in the manor. Master Jersey smiled and said something good that Austen couldn't even think about.
"Master, you... You've been so nice to me and Irina. Austin didn't know how to thank Master Zecier.
"But I can't let you live for nothing, you and the little girl named Erina need to share Lilian's work, and I have some errands for you occasionally. "
'Giving is rewarding' is a truth that almost all mages believe in, and even if Mage Jersey admires Austin and wants to train him, he will practice this truth.
"Willing to serve you, esteemed master. "
For Austin, he can take Erina to live in Navia Manor, leave the dilapidated little house in Oni City, let alone do this trivial work, even if it costs more. And in this way, the problem of food and accommodation has been solved, and there is no need to worry about livelihood problems for the time being, and it can also give Erina a favorable growth environment, which is simply better.
"If you really thank me, I'll use more snacks when I ask Lilian to learn to read, she is also a mage, and time is precious. And your clothes... Forget it, go find Lillian and ask for some of my worn-out pieces. With that, Mage Jersey waved his hand to signal that he could go down.
