Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Russell understood what talent was for the first time.

Although the archmage who was suspected of being Johnston tried his best to hide his surprise, every time he corrected his wrong impression of a certain rune, there was a hint of meaning.

Russell's mistake is actually not that big.

Runes are actually very personal things. In the eyes of most mages, as long as they can smoothly form a rune chain in the spiritual sea, it is considered standard.

After all, only standard runes can resonate with other runes.

But the archmage in front of him didn't understand at all why Russell's runes were always a little skewed.

Yeah, it's not even a twist.

But it's a little bit slanted.

Russell didn't feel it at all, but the archmage just glanced at it twice and frowned. Then he took out a rune table and a piece of transparent paper... and asked Russell to keep on it. trace.

This rune will only appear one at a time. Only if Russell meets the requirements when the rune he writes on the paper without comparing it with the rune below will it disappear and be replaced by the next one.

Russell originally thought this was an easy thing, but reality told him that if it was crooked, it was crooked. Just because he couldn't see it didn't mean it wasn't crooked.

Although the education he had received before would not have such strict requirements on the fineness of runes, Russell knew very well that he had never been in contact with a real archmage... When others have reached a certain height, he himself is obviously There's never a bad time to respect authority.

Knowledge is never-ending, and what you learn is your own. As for freedom and innovation... Do you want to build a magic tower without even laying the foundation?

When Russell struggled for another three days, he finally sorted out all the hundreds of basic runes.

Then he felt what it meant to be reborn.

It only took Archmage 'Johnston' to briefly explain the key points of the rune chain, and Russell quickly learned the detection magic.

Although the Archmage said that it was because he was familiar with the resistance-increasing spell that he learned it so quickly, Russell still understood how big the gap was.

Then he quickly thought of something, turned around and asked softly to the Archmage who was lowering his head to ponder something: "Sir, can I use this method of correcting runes for others to use?"

"Although it seems very simple, you need to learn at least most of the third-level spells to complete it." Hill struggled to control his hobby of blinking and said calmly.

"No, it's not that troublesome." Russell said a little grandly... How did this archmage learn things before?

He pursed his lips: "I wrote out the standard runes and then asked her to trace them slowly with gauze. The extent to which she can learn it depends on whether she pays enough attention to it."

"You don't need to ask me about this." Hill gently shook his head, "This is not an undisclosed secret. Many great mages teach their apprentices this way."

"The Tower of Black Mystery is definitely, ah, at least, ordinary apprentices don't have it here." Russell said seriously, "Apprentices all write according to themselves in the magic book, and the magic books are also...handwritten. "

Hill patted him on the shoulder: "It's not a secret here anyway, you can do whatever you want."

Russell suddenly realized... Although this person refused to admit it, there was a 90% chance that he was Archmage Johnston!

Then how can you keep it a secret from the family?

He couldn't help laughing: "Then when I go out, I will teach Carpenter, ah...she is my sister, a very cute little girl."

Hill nodded casually: "You learn to detect poison first, and then you can rest temporarily.

Come back to me after you get some sleep. "

Although after learning three more 0-level spells, Russell should hopefully become a high-level apprentice, the child's mental strength is almost reaching its peak.

Although he looks very energetic, in fact it is all supported by his excitement and willpower, otherwise his reaction would not be a little confusing, and his sincerity would be too much.

It seemed that he really thought Carpenter was a lovely sister... Such a normal brother suddenly made Hill feel a little confused.

This world is much crueler than Oasis.

Russell's situation is also more difficult.

Although Oasis' brother named Dieter is considered normal, he is obviously an exception. The kind of brotherhood that Ellie and Linde have is normal.

Hmm...could it be said that it is easier to cultivate true feelings by sharing adversity than by sharing wealth?

Hill was a little confused, but he was too lazy to think about it anymore... Although it didn't last long, this teaching method actually made him a little tired.

After all, he really had to think a lot to explain this spell so that the child could understand it.

This is completely different from when he taught Bonn.

After all, the environment in Trasil is different from the outside world, and Bonn is just not sensitive enough to the elements, but the runes were actually learned from Hill behind him, so the foundation is very solid.

It only takes a little bit for him to understand, but he has to spend a lot of time communicating with the elements.

But the child really needs to speak in detail and clearly.

Hill is really a little tired.

Russell, who had no idea what the archmage next to him was thinking, felt very good. After learning the poison detection spell, he happily said goodbye to Hill... He really felt that he had made a qualitative leap.

------------------

Russell, who left the meditation room, glanced around, touched his belly directly, frowned, and drew his fingers in the air... Although he could feel that the passage of time was wrong from the state of hunger, it only passed by The reality of the two days still made him a little surprised.

The door next to him opened immediately, and Carpenter stuck out his head with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Russell, why did you come out!

Aren't you even hungry?

You haven't even slept, have you? "

Although she was complaining, her big eyes were full of concern: Even though they had long been accustomed to not eating during meditation, it was difficult for apprentices to absorb the magical elements of the air after two days of meditation. Adequate nutrition.

"I thought of a good idea and learned two new spells." Russell smiled at her, "Let's go eat first, and then you come to my meditation room and I'll teach you and then go to sleep."

"I'll pick up your meals for the past two days." Carpenter said slowly, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Russell smiled at her: Although it sounded like Carpenter ate it himself, she must have only given out a small portion of the food that only apprentices could eat, and the rest was packed and sent to his home. .

He has several younger brothers and sisters in his family!

Not everyone can eat their food, even children with mage qualifications.

Before learning the first level 0 spell, in addition to the nutritional potions provided by the family he was born in, the family only provided three special meals a month.

Only apprentices can have it every day, and they will also be provided with special food purchased from the magic tower according to their qualifications.

When he returned to the meditation room again, Russell leaned on the table and began to describe the runes.

Carpenter was about to ask a question when he pressed his shoulder in surprise and looked closely.

For some reason, the runes Russell had just written had a different kind of temptation: delicate and perfect, as if every rune was waving to her.

Russell had the rare luxury of not only using special paper for magic books, but also writing only 10 runes evenly on each piece of paper.

Carpenter silently picked up the first piece of paper and read it carefully.

Russell finished writing the runes, and when he stood up, he saw Carpenter, who was already immersed in the beauty of the runes.

"What? Carpenter, what did you see?" he asked with a smile.

"Your runes are written more perfectly than those in the magic book." Carpenter put down the paper and gently loosened his finger that had been tracing, "My brother, he seems to be very powerful!"

Her big eyes turned in a circle, sending a quiet signal to Russell with her eyes: Is this the secret you discovered in the library?

Russell smiled at her, blinked, then smiled again.

Carpenter knew instantly that this was just some of it, not all of it, but he couldn't say a word.

The benefits that Russell received were always shared with her.

Moreover, Carpenter quickly thought of a benefit...if Russell had the ability to protect her in the Tower of Darkness, then she wouldn't need to think so much!

She quickly raised her head: "You learned two spells?

Then... is there any hope of becoming a high-level apprentice before the age of 16? "

Russell pursed his lips and said a little uncomfortably: "I am only studying the two in the prophecy department now.

You should know that only by learning other spells can I become a high-level person. "

"There is hope, right?" Carpenter knows Russell very well. He never likes to be too absolute when speaking. In this type of words, he basically feels that there is more than half hope!

Russell nodded: "Well, there is still hope."

"If you can go in normally...even if I pay to go in, I won't be bullied, right?" Carpenter asked quickly.

"But there is a prerequisite." Russell did not object as firmly as he did two days ago this time, "You must learn all the runes again before this.

I remember you had a transparent gauze scarf?

Use that bit by bit to trace until you can form the correct trajectory in your mind, and then write it yourself.

You should try to write the runes as perfect as possible until you spit them out, okay? "

Of course Carpenter could tell that these runes were indeed the key to Russell's promotion, so she was not a fool.

Although she was reluctant to part with her only luxury item, she never felt that it was more important than her future.

She nodded cautiously: "I will."

Russell touched her head: "Then I'm going to sleep. When I wake up, I will go back to the meditation room. We don't have much time!"
