It's a pity that although Nanali is very intelligent, she hasn't reached the level of a genius.
As for the magician, although she didn't teach Nanali the appropriate casting method, this probably wasn't the magician's fault.
Originally, the human race didn't have so many elemental magics. At most, it was only the light magic used by church pastors or paladins.
Most of the current magics of the human race were learned from the elf race by the human race in order to fight against the dark magic of the demon race.
Of course, magic is the foundation of the elf race. So the overly profound magic was never disclosed to the human race by the elf race.
If it weren't for the circumstances at that time, the elf race would probably not even teach these basic magics to the human race.
However, even for these simple basic magics, the elf race taught the human race under certain conditions.
The first condition was that they couldn't be circulated through rubbings or other methods. Therefore, those sent by the empire to learn magic from the elf race could only teach others orally.
Although there are many magic rubbings circulating in the black market now, all of these are regarded as banned books, and the discoverer will be executed immediately.
A large part of that batch of the human race sent to learn magic was divided up by the imperial dignitaries and the royal family, specifically used to teach their own descendants.
Some were put into the army and were responsible for teaching magic to the army.
There was also a small part that wandered among the people.
As time passed, the inheritance of magicians held by the imperial dignitaries gradually disappeared. The remaining inheritances were also firmly held in their own hands by the dignitaries and wouldn't be passed on to outsiders.
And with the gradual corruption within the empire, the magicians in the army were also poached by the dignitaries by various means.
As a result, most of the current armies don't even know a basic incantation. This completely goes against the original intention of the empire when it sent talents to the elf race to learn magic.
And those magicians who wandered among the people also gradually disappeared.
Whenever thinking of this, Lane couldn't help sighing. The current king is really a wimp. He could screw up such a good hand.
If it were the eldest prince...
"What are you thinking about?"
Nanali's voice pulled Lane out of his thoughts. Lane then came to his senses. After organizing his words, he said, "The things your tutor taught you are fine. Unfortunately, they aren't suitable for your constitution."
"Constitution?"
"Yes. Magic is a very profound thing. Everyone's magic guiding veins are different, and the way of casting magic is also different. The same magic casting method can't be applied to everyone."
Lane tried to explain Nanali's situation in a way that ordinary people could understand.
Hearing this, Nanali quickly understood. Her eyes slightly brightened: "That is to say, I do have magic talent?"
"Yes."
Lane nodded with a smile: "Perhaps in your view, only a few people have magic talent. Actually, it's not like that. In fact, those without magic talent are the minority. It's just that the current casting methods we teach are too single, which has led to many people with magic talent missing the opportunity to learn magic."
Listening to Lane's explanation, Nanali unconsciously sat up straight and began to listen carefully.
"In my opinion, Miss, not only do you have magic talent, but your talent is not low either."
"Really?"
Although Nanali was still trying her best to suppress her expression, her heart had already leaped for joy.
"Whether it's true or not, Miss, you can cast the magic again according to the method I teach you and you'll know."
Nanali nodded vigorously, staring straight at Lane, waiting for Lane's guidance, afraid of missing any word.
"The magic you learned, Miss, is the most basic casting method of a magician, that is, converting magic power into the elemental energy you need, and then releasing it in the most direct and destructive way." Lane explained patiently: "And according to my observation, Miss, your constitution is actually more suitable for being a summoner."
"Summoner?"
"Yes. A summoner doesn't use magic power as the simplest and most straightforward weapon, but as a tool."
As he spoke, Lane raised his palm and summoned a ball of flame again.
Immediately after, with a thought from Lane, the ball of flame turned into a little fire person and began to dance.
Seeing Nanali staring at the dancing little fire person without blinking, Lane smiled faintly: "It's very interesting, right?"
Nanali subconsciously wanted to nod but quickly reacted, stopped her movement, and her little face turned slightly red.
Seeing Nanali like this, Lane didn't tease her anymore. He turned his hand and put away the little fire person and continued:
"The way a summoner drives magic power lies in 'control power'."
"Control power?"
This was the second time Nanali was confused about the term that came out of Lane's mouth.
The moment these three words came out of Lane's mouth, Nanali seemed to catch something but couldn't quite explain it clearly.
Seeing this, Lane nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his young lady was very smart. Thus, the difficulty of his teaching wouldn't be too high.
"First of all, you have to regard the magic power you drive as a living being. Then, you have to control them, just like a monarch, and make them obey your orders."
Hearing Lane's explanation, Nanali seemed to be enlightened and immediately began to sort out the magic power in her body, unconsciously closing her eyes. Lane didn't speak and silently stood by Nanali's side, watching her sort out the magic power.
I don't know how long it took, Nanali opened her eyes and stretched out her palm.
The next moment, a cluster of flickering flames appeared in Nanali's palm.
Although the size of the flame didn't change compared to before, this cluster of flames was obviously no longer dying but extremely agile, as if it had vitality.
Genius.
Lane gave such an evaluation of Nanali in his heart.
Seeing that this cluster of flames showed no sign of extinguishing after burning for a long time, Nanali finally couldn't suppress the joy in her heart and looked at Lane with a delighted smile:
"Lane, I succeeded!"
Lane was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time Nanali called his name, and it was also the first time he saw Nanali's smile.
The childish voice seemed to have shed the initial estrangement, becoming more pleasant to hear. This heartfelt smile, in Lane's eyes, was like an angel from heaven.
Being looked at by Lane like this, Nanali also noticed her own gaffe, quickly put away her smile, and patted her little face that was gradually covered with a blush:
"Well, I wasn't... No, um... Thank you..."
After being incoherent for a long time, Nanali finally blushed and said a low thank you.
"You don't have to be polite with me. After all, you are my young lady." Lane shook his head with a smile, and then said:
"Compared to a magician, the way a summoner guides magic power is also different. I will teach you these as well. Miss, you are very smart. I believe you will learn these quickly."
"Can I... really?"
Although Lane's words were very certain, Nanali still had an unrealistic feeling.
"Of course you can, Miss. You can definitely try to trust me. After all, right now, I'm your personal butler."
Lane also felt that it was time to mention the matter of the personal butler to Nanali.
"Miss, I found that you seem to reject me a little? Is it because I did something wrong?"
"No..."
Nanali shook her head and murmured:
"It's just... When Old Lamb fell ill, you didn't come back. On the day Old Lamb passed away, you happened to return. I... couldn't trust you."
"What about now?"
Lane asked with a smile.
"Now..."
Nanali turned her slightly red little face away and said in a low voice:
"For now, I'll reluctantly try to trust you..."
