Chapter 157: Meditation and Runes
Chapter 153 – Meditation and Runes
“There is a magic school here, the main students are witches and warlocks, in the future there will also be some ordinary students, weekdays to teach them words, math, battle skills, magic spells and potions, I plan to open the next puppetry and alchemy, so Mage Bryan is interested in part-time professor of the school?” Owen did have an idea in this regard, but he had planned to teach these two classes as a professor himself, but now with Mage Bryan joining him, he naturally chose to continue to be lazy.
Although he didn’t intend to waste time, after hearing that serving as a professor would allow him to obtain additional potions and materials, Brian nodded his head in agreement without hesitation, the big deal was that he would let his apprentice Domi substitute for the basic part of the class, and he himself would go there a few times every now and then, and then he would be able to happily receive a potion and materials, which was very cost-effective.
As for Brian’s intention to become a paycheck thief, Owen had no knowledge of it, but even if he knew about it, I’m afraid he wouldn’t say anything.
The foundation is important, not important, a senior mage apprentice is responsible for teaching is already enough, can not really let a professor to teach elementary school students multiplication tables.
Witch school renamed magic school, which can be seen Owen’s expectations and ambitions here, at the same time, all aspects of support is also not small, the overall building has long been updated, although it can not be compared with Hogwarts, but also in the ordinary level, at least Bryan can not pick any faults, after all, this is just a small town of the primary magic school.
Owen brought Brian to a stone tower, opened the door and pushed it in.
“This stone tower has a total of five floors, one underground and four above ground, the first floor is the meeting place, the second floor is the laboratory, the third floor is the study, and the fourth floor is the living area, anything you need you can give the list to Prof. Emilie, and someone will bring it to you.” Owen gave Brian a tour of the place.
“The environment is good, but there are still many equipments and materials missing, I wonder when they can be delivered?” Brian didn’t have high requirements for the quality of life, he valued the experimental conditions more, so he made his request in the first place.
After listening to Mage Brian’s needs, Owen took stock of his family’s resources and realized that only some of them could be provided directly, the rest had to be manufactured and exchanged, and there were still some that needed to be obtained through the black hand, but it wasn’t a big problem, so he gave a time.
“What about consumables?” Brian hesitated slightly, then continued to ask.
“There is a special kind of mutated kobolds here, with a form not too different from humans and a tenacious life force.” Owen said faintly.
For using humans as experimental consumables Owen had a bit of difficulty accepting it, unless it was the kind of inhumanity that would be considered cheap to kill with a single slash of a human scum.
I’m afraid there were quite a few of this kind of scum, but it was difficult to collect them, so Owen hit his idea on the Magic Horn Goblins that were numerous in the Magic Horn Tree Forest.
Although it wasn’t human, the experiment was still far from successful, so Brian didn’t continue to dwell on this aspect.
Besides, the life force of kobolds was indeed tenacious, if it wasn’t for their small size, they would actually be very suitable to be used as experiments, and the size of magic horn kobolds was comparable to that of humans, so using them for experiments wasn’t that bad.
Brian will apprentice Domi called to start setting up the stone tower, this Domi very happy, after all, this period of time the teacher’s mood is very bad, which have the time to teach him, now there is a place to stay, experiments and investment also have a landing, he hung the heart can also put down some.
And now he is the only apprentice under the teacher, even if he doesn’t teach more, at least his life can be saved, how can he not be happy.
Not to mention Bryan’s teacher and disciple, for Owen, Bryan is not counted as one of his own people, his joining can only be said to add a little bit of HYDRA family’s heritage, to fill in some of the blanks, but can only be used, but can not be reused.
This is only on the surface, but in reality, what Owen has gained is far beyond the imagination of others.
Perhaps because of carelessness, the crystal ball that Brian took out actually stored a large amount of learning materials, Owen on the surface only looked through the images and words that were put in, but in fact privately with the help of his consciousness telecontrol glasses, he downloaded all of the core materials within the crystal ball into the puppet’s intelligent core.
If Brian knew this, he would not directly turn his face away, but his heart would definitely not be happy, and he might even leave behind some hidden dangers.
But in Owen’s opinion, it was worth it, so after he came back, he couldn’t wait to start processing the information in the intelligent core. Speaking of Owen’s luck, Brian was valued by the teacher to give him this crystal ball, was treated as a treasure, the entire apprenticeship period of learning data are recorded in it, even if the later research alone, the information is also stored in it, and now by Owen a pot of end.
The first thing Owen looked at was naturally the mage’s introduction, compared to witches and warlocks who rely on magical bloodlines, mages are the way for ordinary people to truly master transcendent power, so it is inevitable to have curiosity.
After spending three days, Owen finished reading from the origin of mages to the introduction.
According to the records of mages, in the early years, the witches and warlocks were not the existence of everyone, in fact, in those years, the mixed blood with special bloodline was the real superior people, because they were naturally stronger than the ordinary people, so it was easier to get ahead, this can be seen from the empire’s great nobles mostly have non-human bloodline.
Unfortunately, time has changed, the interests have long been divided, the same bloodline has instead become a destabilizing factor, and is therefore subject to all sorts of suppression and even brutal killings.
After all, compared to the fighting knights who need a lot of resources and time to grow up, the sorcerers and warlocks who have the foundation of a strong man once they are awakened are hard to be controlled.
It was also during this period that ordinary people tried to master the extraordinary power belonging to witches and warlocks.
But at that time, bloodline fusion was a dead end, so they could only take a shortcut and use other methods to obtain transcendent power, and eventually meditation and runes appeared.
Meditation is to transform spiritual power into magic power, and runes are to transform magic power into magical effects, so the two are the core of the mage profession.
Owen’s path today was similar to that of a mage, except that his meditation was to increase his mental power and control, and the conversion into magic power was affected by mystic arts, but it could still be planned for the ranks of a mage, so the study materials recorded by Brian were equally useful to him.
Next Owen put all his energy into studying meditation and runes, as this was the foundation of a mage.
A mage’s meditation would focus on resonance, using their own spiritual power as a guide to attract the elements from the outside world, creating a qualitative change.
This way is not affected by the magic bloodline, but the disadvantage is that it needs a transformation process, so mages can’t directly recover by resting when their magic power runs out like wizards and warlocks, but they need to rely on meditation.
It may seem cumbersome and far less convenient than the magic bloodline, but the mage’s meditation has one advantage, that is, it is stable enough, fine enough, and will not be affected easily, especially with the runes that work like circuit boards, the advantage is even more magnified to the extreme.
Regardless of whether it was a sorcerer or a warlock, their magic would be affected by all sorts of things, such as their own bloodline, such as intense emotions, and so on.
Sorcerers were better because magic power was inert, able to refine magic potions and make magic items, although the level wasn’t really high, but at least it was there.
Warlocks can’t, the magic fluctuation is like a roller coaster, refining magic medicine to make magic items is pure blasting.
And mages, because there is no magical bloodline interference, as long as the spiritual power is stable enough, theoretically even able to directly affect matter.
Therefore, mages specialize in large-scale magic formations, alchemy, and research.
