Chapter 9 Six months
Six months later.
In Dean Tunguska's residence, Locke, Patti Isa, and Cord Newman were sitting together and studying.
Since the magic teaching resources in Aurelian College are very limited, even if the three of them have to take different courses, they are taught by Dean Tunguska alone.
However, Locke couldn't say anything about this, after all, the magic stones he needed for the class were discounted.
The course that originally required the investment of more than a hundred magic stones now only requires ten magic stones, so there are some minor flaws in the teaching quality, but that's okay.
At this time, Locke had become familiar with Patty and Cord.
These two people are students of common people, and both have wizard talents. Patty has a level 2 wizard talent, and Cord only has a level 1 wizard talent.
Cord is an ordinary boy with red hair and pockmarks on his face. He is taciturn and seems to be difficult to deal with, but in fact he is just not good at words.
It only took Locke one day to successfully break the ice with him and become familiar with him.
Cord’s family background is very simple, and he is a simple person without too many things.
His parents were both serfs of a viscount lord in the Kingdom of Aaron. By chance, the viscount noticed his talent in learning, and then passed all the examinations and received education from famous teachers, and finally came to Aurelian College.
It turns out that there is a reason why his learning ability is so strong. He has the talent of a wizard, although it is only the lowest level.
According to Cord himself, after drinking the elemental emerald potion, he could see very few elemental light spots.
Patty is a girl who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Otherwise, she would not have helped Locke who asked her for help half a year ago.
After the three of them got acquainted, their relationship became very good. In the eyes of other students in the college, they have become a small group.
While Cord was studying the magic control class, he suddenly asked Locke a question. After getting Locke's answer, he said with admiration: "Locke, you are really smart."
"I have been studying for more than two years, and you caught up quickly and surpassed me." Patty on the other side also showed admiration.
Generally speaking, these two people are both civilian academic masters, so they naturally admire students with good grades and smart minds.
Locke nodded slightly and at the same time rotated the ring set with a deep sapphire on his thumb.
It only took me three months to catch up with Patty and Cord's learning progress, and then another three months to catch up with them.
There are many reasons for this.
First, Locke's own wizard talent is level three, which is a middle-to-lower talent, better than the talents of Cord and Patty.
His basic learning speed is actually at least three to four times that of Cord.
Moreover, the gap will only get wider in the future.
It's like a snowball. At the beginning, perhaps low-qualified wizards can catch up through diligence, but the gap will only get wider after that.
This made Locke understand why wizards attach so much importance to the talents of wizard seedlings.
But there is actually a second reason.
Loke looked at the thumb in his hand. Six months ago, he discovered that by synthesizing sapphire to the fourth level, he could synthesize [Dark Sapphire].
Later, he found someone to make a dark sapphire ring into a ring, and when he wore it on a daily basis, he discovered what it meant to make the fluctuations of mental power more stable.
Wearing this dark sapphire can make your daily mood stable and your concentration more concentrated. The time you can concentrate every day can more than double, and your learning speed can at least double.
It was only thanks to the deep sapphire that Locke was able to catch up with Patty and Cord's learning progress in such a short period of time.
Of course, Locke also discovered that the dark sapphire is actually a consumable item. A dark sapphire can only be used for about half a month.
Hence, he needs to continuously synthesize level 4 sapphires.
In addition, Locke has tried to synthesize other synthetic items, but other synthetic items, currently synthesized to level 4, only become more exquisite and expensive, and do not have any special effects.
This makes Locke have no shortage of worldly money.
But Locke has only discovered one useful synthesis formula for the wizard's path so far, which is to use three level 3 sapphires to synthesize a dark sapphire.
Locke is not in a hurry about this matter. He still has too little contact with the wizarding world, and he has not left the mainland of Corfu. Therefore, in this low-magic area, the resources he has access to are very limited. I believe that when he actually arrives in the wizarding world in the future, he will definitely find more useful synthesis formulas.
Hladik's Cube allows you to at least not lack resources.
Just like, he is currently using dark sapphire to increase his learning speed.
通古斯院长的住所内，帕蒂对洛克，道：「对了，洛克，我想你还不知道吧，之前那个一直缠着你的安吉尔已经死了。」
「在五个多月前就已经死了。 "
Locke was stunned for a moment. He had been immersed in the joy of learning during this period, so he really couldn't remember who Angel was for a while, but he soon thought of the girl who was tricked by Professor Alder like him six months ago.
Loke nodded slightly. "I reminded her."
"But she didn't listen to me."
Patty said: "During this period, Teacher Alder has gone too far. Those who died were also children of the great nobility. Teacher Alder was not afraid of something happening."
h "That's why he used magic to borrow life from ordinary students."
Code blushed and said, "But I don't like this."
h "How could he do this. There are many people and everything. I didn’t know, so he robbed me of my life.”
Locke nodded and said, “Let’s do our own thing, all we have to do now is study.”
“I think the academy will have its own arrangements for Alder.”
Professor Alder obviously doesn't have much life left and is on the verge of going crazy now. He doesn't dare to meddle in this matter.
Patty suddenly said: "Do you think we will become like Professor Alder one day in the future? Become what we hated the most."
Cord opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. He thought of Professor Alder's increasingly crazy look recently, and when he thought about it, he himself might become like that in the future, and he was a little scared.
Patty smiled instead. "I'm joking."
"What kind of expressions are you looking at."
Cord was already so frightened by her that she started laughing. "We are still young. When we need to worry about our lifespan, we don't know how old we will be."
Locke glanced at her and remembered that Dean Tunguska had told him that Professor Alder's original wizard qualification was Level 2.
One level lower than him, exactly the same level as Patty, and one level higher than Cord.
Locke looked at his textbook and came to his senses. After six months of peaceful study, he had already laid a certain foundation in magic, which was different from the same.
"I can already start cultivating magic vines."
"Cultivation of magic vines, and then using spells to transform the vines, synchronizing with my mana, and with gradual adjustment, I will be able to master my first sleight of hand spell model - Hand of the Vine."
"However, there are no magic vine seeds in Corfu, so I can only buy seeds from Dean Tunguska. I think since this is one of the five magic models prepared for the wizard seedlings of the indigenous people of Corfu, Dean Tunguska must have matching magic vine seeds in his hands."
Just according to the tone of the academy, it is estimated that this vine seed will not be provided to me for free.
I guess I owe another sum of magic stones.
