Celestial Mage

Chapter 14
More than ten days passed in a flash.

At noon that day, in Lilith's room, Cyrus taught Rosen spells as usual.

Thanks to the huge income from selling paintings these days, the middle-aged mage is in a good mood, and his eyes on Rosen are much softer than before.

Lilith was always watching, which greatly increased his tolerance for Rosen.

After all, if you can't get along with anyone, you can't get along with Jin Kelang.

"Teacher, I have a little understanding of the mystery of the mage's hand. Last night, I grabbed a piece of duck down."

The young Rosen was full of 'excitement', as if he had accomplished a remarkable feat.

'Pfft~'

Lilith's laughter came from the side: "Rosen, I bet you must have read it wrong. The duck down should have been blown up by your breath."

Rosen immediately argued: "No, I obviously grabbed it with the hands of a mage!"

"Why don't you catch it again?"

"No, I've run out of mana."

"Look, you just exhale and blow up!"

"you"

"All right!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Cyrus called out in time to stop.

He sighed secretly: "It's almost half a month, and I don't even have the master's hand."This little thing is really stupid! '

Back then, when the other party entered into deep meditation, he once thought he was a magic genius, and he was full of jealousy.

Now it seems that it's just because the other party's thoughts are pure and there are no distracting thoughts in his mind.

Seeing the boy's face flushed because of being questioned, he comforted him softly: "Little guy, don't lose heart, I can feel that you are not far from mastering the master's hand."

"Yes, mentor, I will definitely work hard!"

The boy shook his fist vigorously, as if to cheer himself up.

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Teacher, after I master the mage's hand, can I use this spell to catch stones and throw them out to hit people?"

Cyrus was taken aback: "Throwing stones at people? How could you have such an idea?"

Rosen smiled shyly: "A few days ago, I saw a guard outside the window shoot an arrow in the thief's leg, and I wondered if I could do the same thing with a mage's hand."

Cyrus also knew about this, so he didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said, "It's a very reasonable idea. But in practice, it's not very feasible."

Rosen looked curious: "Why?"

"This involves more profound knowledge of techniques, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment."

"I can only tell you that although magic begins with imagination, aimless and boundless imagination will only bring chaos and disaster."

"A safe and stable spell must be established in a rigorous and well-thought-out logical world"

While he was talking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a neatly dressed woman ran in quickly, and whispered something in Lilith's ear.

Lilith changed slightly, and waved to the woman: "Go and wait for me outside the door, I'll be right there."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to Sellers and said, "Mr. Mage, I have something urgent to go out, so I won't bother you."

"Go."

Cyrus didn't seem to care, but Rosen, who was sitting across from him, noticed that the middle-aged mage's eyelids twitched several times uncontrollably.

Lilith left in a hurry. After the door closed, Rosen obviously felt that Cyrus was a little distracted.

Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "Teacher, what is a rigorous and well-thought-out logical world?"

"Hmm~ This involves a subject called 'geometry'. Using geometry, we can build sophisticated spell structures. Oh, why am I talking about this? This knowledge has far exceeded the current learning progress."

Rosen didn't give Cyrus any time to think, and immediately asked: "Then Teacher, what should I do to throw the stone far away?"

"Hmm~ This requires the caster to possess mana of a special polarity, such as fire, or wind. It is best to combine the two."

"Of course, mana compounding is an intermediate-to-high-level skill, far beyond what you can master now. Ah, Rosen, I've said enough for today. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."

After speaking, without waiting for Rosen to respond, Cyrus got up in a hurry and walked out of the room quickly.

This is very unusual, whether it is Lilith or Cyrus, today's performance is very unreasonable.

The sound of the door opening next door indicated that Cyrus had entered the room.

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he immediately tiptoed to the peeping spot, staring at the mirror on the wall.

He kept changing his angle, using the adventure log to quietly observe the situation in the next room.

Soon, he saw the situation in the opposite room.

After Cyrus entered the room, he went straight to the luggage cabinet in the corner of the room, quickly opened the second drawer, and took out a crystal bottle from it.

The crystal bottle contains a dark blue liquid, crystal clear, like sapphire.

Cyrus pulled open the cork, drank the liquid in one gulp, then opened the third drawer, and took out an off-white hooded cloak trimmed with many silver patterns.

He put the cloak on his body, waited a moment, and something strange happened.

Rosen saw that the silver lines on the cloak emitted a faint white light. After a few seconds, the light around the cloak began to twist and change, just like twisting water waves.

In the air ripples, Cyrus' figure disappeared unexpectedly.

No, it didn't disappear, it became invisible.

Rosen saw that the door next door opened suddenly and then closed gently, obviously someone had gone out.

He immediately ran to the door, put his ear close to the door, held his breath and listened, and sure enough, he heard a faint sound of footsteps going away quickly.

Lilith left suddenly after receiving urgent news, and Cyrus seemed to know something inside, and quietly left the hotel using the invisibility cloak.

After a little thought, he could tell that he most likely followed Lilith out.

But what are they doing out there?
Why so hasty?

Rosen didn't know anything, and with his current ability, he didn't have the ability to investigate.

After thinking about it, he found that the safest way at present is to pretend that he doesn't know anything, just stay in the hotel room and wait and see what happens.

That being the case, Rosen put away his distracting thoughts and began to study the Mage's Hand.

Contrary to what appeared on the outside, he had used the mage's hand as early as that night, and the next day, he had enough mana to lift the teapot.

Now almost half a month has passed, and Rosen, who meditates on the singularity of creation every day between the limits of life and death, has begun to take shape in the mana in his body.

However, he didn't know how far this mana was compared to Cyrus, and he didn't know how to use this strange power, so naturally he didn't dare to act rashly.

He recalled what Cyrus had said before: "Fire or wind polarity, using geometry to build a sophisticated logical structure." '

He recalled a sentence he had peeked at in the spell notes three days ago.

'For low-level and lower-level spells, the marginal effect of mana activation is negligible.Similar functions can be achieved by simply simulating the physical structure of the objective world. '

The two are connected, Rosen couldn't help thinking.

"My mana should be flame polarity, so if I build an imaginary modern musket in the thinking world, shouldn't it be able to quickly project stones?"

If he could really do it, then he would have mastered a fairly powerful combat skill, but this idea was also extremely risky, and if he made a mistake, he might lose his life.

If there is no change today, Rosen will continue to accumulate spell knowledge and move forward steadily.

But the current situation gave him a sense of urgency.

If he doesn't take action again, when the danger comes again, he will still be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and whether he can survive depends entirely on the thoughts of others.

He gritted his teeth: "Since meditation is done once, how about spelling again?"

After making up my mind, a sudden inspiration came to my mind.

"It's not a real musket, and there's no need to imitate all the mechanical structures of a real gun. Imagine a single-opened cylindrical iron tube filled with gunpowder, wouldn't it be able to shoot?"

He's going to do it right away!
