In the slowly advancing team, Cody, Master Gan, and two teenagers were riding on one of the carriages in the middle. Opposite Master Gan, who was resting with his eyes closed, Cody was looking excitedly at the fire burning in the center of his palms. From time to time, he controlled the fire and danced it back and forth on the five hands, but it didn't last long before it slowly disappeared. Then Cody also felt tired, not physically, but mentally.
Cody didn't understand how anything that could be ignited appeared in the palm of his hand, why he could control it, and could barely feel its temperature. But it is certain that this was created by Master Gan himself using the method taught to him.
It has been fifteen days since the group left Norma City, and it will take another five days to reach the imperial capital.
At the dinner that day, Master Gan suddenly said that he would take Cody to Barton College to study magic. After being shocked, Lant and Olia immediately agreed together. Of course, Master Gan did not ask them from the beginning to the end. Opinions are just expressions of one's own attitude.
Cody was handed over to Master Gan by his parents in a daze, but he was just not used to it. After all, his mother had always asked him to enter the War College, so why did he suddenly change his mind. Anyway, Cody didn't care where he was going. He couldn't stay at home anyway, as long as it wasn't the boring War College. Moreover, Master Gan's performance all the time made him feel so cool. Not only his father and Uncle Mulan, but even the city lord and the three arrogant magicians he had seen before could only do so when facing Master Gan. Standing aside with a humble look, Master Gan's random answer can make them extremely excited.
During this time at home, Cody read through almost all the books looking for information about magicians. There were very few descriptions, but all of them talked about their nobility, mystery, and power. They were so powerful that the equally noble knights faced them. I can only lower my proud head.
Cody didn't care much about whether he was noble or not. He only knew that if he could become a magician, his father would never be able to ask him to learn the damn chivalry. Moreover, he also learned about the wealth owned by the magician, which made this child who had lived a "poor" life since childhood fall in love with the magician.
After starting to set off, Cody couldn't stand it after staying in the carriage for a long time. Master Gan closed his eyes as soon as he got on the carriage, while the other two teenagers who were also selected by Master Gan did not dare to spend too much time with Cody. After all, they were born commoners and knew the gap between themselves and the nobles. Moreover, they didn't know where they were going to be taken and what they were going to do. They only felt panic in their hearts. Cody was so bored that he wanted to go out for a walk, but Mullan told him that the team would not stop except during breaks. If he wanted to get off the car, he could only walk beside the team and not leave his sight. He was not allowed to go to the Keda trio. They were now students of the academy and must act in accordance with the rules of the academy. Cody had no choice but to return to the car.
After staring at Master Gan for a long time, he cautiously opened his mouth and asked Master Gan if he could teach him magic in advance. Master Gan just opened his eyes and glanced at him, without paying any attention to him. However, Cody found that Master Gan had a good temper besides not being talkative, so he didn’t care whether Master Gan heard him speak or not. Anyway, he would talk a lot every time. Even when he went to bed at night, he would talk in his sleep and let Master Gan teach him. Own.
For three consecutive days, the two teenagers, who were already introverted and fearful, were almost driven crazy by Cody. Just when they were about to collapse, Master Gan, who was probably also unable to bear it, finally asked Cody to shut up. Talking more about other things, he just said some incomprehensible words. Cody didn't know what Master Gan was talking about at first, but he immediately realized that it was magic knowledge, so he stared and remembered every word carefully. After talking for a long time, Master Gan hesitated, and then taught them meditation and the most basic magic. However, what elements they can sense depends on their own conditions. In the end, he was worried and told Cody that if he didn't shut up, his mouth would be sealed with magic.
Cody originally wanted to ask what elements were, but when he saw the unkind look in Master Gan's eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. Not daring to speak anymore, the idle Cody could only meditate according to the method taught by Master Gan. Two teenagers were also doing the same. Cody sat cross-legged on the carriage and soon felt numbness in his legs. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he stretched it out and moved. Then he continued, trying back and forth several times, but he still couldn't feel the feeling that Master Gan said. , planned to ask the two quiet companions, but found that they had started snoring for no reason, and one even had a trace of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth. Cody began to wonder if Master Gan was deceiving him.
After dinner, Cody planned to try one last time. If it still didn't work, it could only mean that he had no talent, or the method Master Gan taught them was wrong. With the previous experiences, Cody quickly calmed down and silently comprehended. When he was about to be defeated by his will, he suddenly got agitated, and his whole head seemed to be empty, without his own consciousness.
The next day, Cody slowly opened his eyes as if he had had a good night's sleep. He felt that he was particularly energetic, and the irritability caused by riding in the carriage disappeared. This seemed to be the meditation that Master Gan said. I was so excited that I wanted to stand up, but fell down and my legs became numb again.
After massaging with my hands for a long time, my legs regained consciousness. Only then did I realize that I was the only one in the carriage. Just as I was about to go out to see what was going on, Master Gan had already opened the door of the carriage from the outside and got in. Cody excitedly told Master Gan that he could meditate and become a magician. Master Gan said it was still early, and meditation was only the most basic. If you want to become a magician, you must be able to sense and control elements, and then display them.
element? Cody really didn't know what it was, but after thinking about it for a moment, he seemed to have some strange substances glowing around him when his mind was empty. After hesitating for a moment, Cody closed his eyes and tried hard to find the substances. After holding it in for a long time, it was still useless. Just when he was about to give up, the strange feeling appeared again, but this time he was still conscious. Excited, he began to search, and finally felt a trace of warmth and coolness. Cody stretched out his hand to hold the invisible warmth in his palm, and then suddenly felt his face getting hot. He couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw that he was raising his head. Qi's hand actually caught fire. He shrank his hand in fright, and the flame disappeared again.
Looking at his empty hands, he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating. Master Gan on the opposite side was shocked and asked him to do it again. Cody knew that he was not dazzled. His hands were really on fire just now. He had no time to find out why his hands were not burned. He followed Master Gan's words and performed the steps again. Sure enough, when I opened my eyes after feeling the warmth, my hand was really on fire. It should be said that there was a ball of flame the size of a fist floating on my palm. Just as he was about to ask Master Gan, the flame on his hand disappeared, followed immediately by a burst of intense fatigue and fatigue, as if he had stayed up all night.
Master Gan asked him to meditate immediately, and Cody had no choice but to do so. After successfully entering meditation, he felt that his energy quickly recovered, and Cody also stopped meditating on his own initiative. Knowing his doubts, tell him that this is the most basic magic, sensing elements, condensing elements, and summoning elements. Only by doing the three most basic things can you use spells and mental power to control the elements and release magic. The more powerful the magic. The stronger the elemental sensing ability and mental power are, the more powerful it is. Meditation is a way to exercise mental power. As for elemental perception, there is no way to teach it. And with Cody's current ability, he can barely be a magic apprentice.
Cody, who originally thought he had become a magician, had no time to imagine how many gold coins he would have in the future, and his enthusiasm was mostly extinguished by the words "magic apprentice". However, he was only discouraged for a second, and his mind was completely on the flame he created. .
It has been twelve days since he first successfully condensed the flame. During these twelve days, Cody has been playing with the flame in his hands whenever he has time, making it bigger and smaller, and then beating it back and forth on his fingertips. Now Cody has been able to summon the flame for more than a minute, and the flame has become larger. He also found that after controlling the flame to shrink it, he can last longer and will not be exhausted after just a few breaths like at the beginning.
After resting, he continued to play with fire, and when he was tired, he meditated to restore his mental strength. Except for sleeping time, Cody had a great time playing, especially when the other two companions looked at him with envy. Occasionally, I acted as a mentor to them and explained my little experience. Finally, I wasn’t bored during the journey. But now Cody no longer meditates. He really can't stand the numbness in his legs after every time. He tries to meditate in a normal posture. Unexpectedly, he succeeds. Not only is he physically comfortable, but he also enters meditation faster than sitting. I don't know. Why does Master Gan insist on meditating with his legs crossed? Isn’t this annoying?
I originally wanted to share it with a few people from Keda, but I was still severely rejected by Uncle Mulan, saying that it was not only the way to the academy, but also the first time to attend class and sharpen their spirits. If you can't endure the loneliness and boredom on the way, what will you do when you go to the battlefield in the future? If Cody were to disturb them now, it would most likely interrupt their persistence during this period.
Cody could only give up the idea of showing off. At the same time, he was glad that he could escape from the War College. It was a great thing. If he was controlled like a puppet like this, he would probably go crazy.
He spent the last journey on the carriage playing with fire and imparting experience to his two companions. After the carriage stopped, he heard the noise outside. Cody curiously stuck his head out, took a look and grew up. I couldn't tell whether this was a city wall or a mountain. Cody has always felt that Norma City, where he grew up, is big enough. Especially after visiting other cities for comparison, he felt that compared with Norma City, they were too small and poor. Only now that I see the imperial capital Bor City, I feel that Norma City is too small.
Now that we have entered the city, there are countless civilians waiting to enter at the city gate, as well as caravans carrying loads of goods. I am afraid that the number of people entering Norma City has not been as high as this in several days. There are many outside the city walls of Bor. It seems that I got it right this time. At least I gained some insights on the first day.
In front of the city wall, Mulan and the guarding soldiers identified themselves. After the soldiers saluted with respect, they continued to lead the team into the city. The originally slightly crowded road was filled with excitement after seeing the knight's sword logo representing the Zhan Zhan Academy in front of the motorcade. Consciously move to both sides of the single road to give way to this convoy carrying the future warriors of the empire.
Cody returned to the car and said to Master Gan: "Master, we have arrived at the Imperial Capital. Where is the Barton College we are going to?"
Master Gan opened his eyes, "Barton College is on the mountain behind Bol City. Someone will pick us up later."
"Oh." Cody was a little curious as to why the academy was on the mountain. "Master, can I say goodbye to Uncle Mulan and my friends later? I don't know if we can meet again in the future."
Master Gan closed his eyes again, and after a moment of silence, he hummed softly.
Cody felt a little disappointed, to the point where he didn't feel the point of being separated from his friends. This was all destined, and he had already prepared for this day. But Cody felt a little uncomfortable about Barton College on the mountain. I'm afraid it would be difficult to drink again in the future. Let’s not talk about wine. Living in the mountains, I’m afraid I can only eat leaves.
