Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 30: Magic Mechanics - A Further Understanding of the Fundamentals of Spells

Moreover, the entire process requires a long period of exploration to determine how to infuse spiritual energy into the process.

The degree of intensity, urgency, and duration of mental energy, as well as the trajectory of the mental energy's entry, all require exploration.

Therefore, what may seem like a simple spell is actually the result of a wizard's years of research.

Leo recalled another spell he had mastered: the Basic Physical Enhancement Spell.

This spell also follows the same principle.

This involves combining spiritual energy with one's physical body, using the physical body as material to infuse spiritual energy, resulting in a brief reaction that strengthens the physical body.

Leo was even more amazed by Nova's teaching ability.

As Leo read on, he found that the book did indeed answer his question about the differences between the three basic methods of magic and potion-making.

The different steps involved in blending, sorting, and smelting spells and potions, depending on each spell, are akin to weapons concealed on one's person.

Wizards store a certain substance on their bodies, which they can take out when needed to cast spells.

It's similar to the magical artifacts in magical artifact science. It's an independent entity, not a power that spontaneously manifests from itself.

Wizards call these substances magical mediums.

However, there was one thing Leo still couldn't understand.

Wizards' abilities all work by reacting with a certain type of substance, so the Magic Hand must have the same mechanism.

However, when Leo used the Magic Hand, he did not find that it reacted with any kind of substance.

Leo shook his head, not pursuing the matter further.

"The Magic Hand also has two quality levels in the encyclopedia: Superior and Perfect. Perhaps I'll only get the answer I'm looking for when I have both of these quality Magic Hand encyclopedia entries."

As Leo delved into the book of basic magical mechanics, he was unaware that Nova was observing him from a short distance away.

Seeing Leo so engrossed in his book, Nova couldn't help but smile slightly.

He had a good impression of Leo, regardless of Leo's achievements and talents.

Even if Leo really has a level 5 mental talent, and is among the top ten of this year's wizard prodigies, and can master mental radiation, none of that matters to Nova.

What Nova valued most was Leo's love of reading.

This is something that Nova shares.

Nova believes that people who love reading are good people.

On the deck, Eiffel's tall figure emerged, with John beside him.

Eiffel said, "John, you will be in charge of taking care of the wizard Danville's daily life for the next two days."

Upon hearing this, John's eyes widened, and he said, "Captain Eiffel, this is too difficult for me. As you should know, I used to be a nobleman, and I am not suitable for doing this kind of thing at all."

Eiffel said, "Then you'll have to learn slowly, John. I know you're unwilling, but you should get used to it. We knights are naturally a grade lower than wizards."

John retorted, "I don't agree with that view. Take Vice-Captain Carrera, for example. Didn't she maintain her knightly self-respect even when facing Danville and his men, completely disregarding them?"

"I also want to live proudly as a knight, just like Vice-Captain Carrera!"

If John's previous goal was to become the efficient and capable Eiffel, now his goal is to become Carrie.

He wanted to be a knight like Carella, who could act without restraint, not a servile lackey like Eiffel, bowing and scraping before wizards and Leo.

"Carrie is proud?" Eiffel listened to John's words as if she had heard a funny joke, and said, "Why don't you look over there?"

Eiffel stretched out his hand and pointed to one side of the deck.

John followed the gaze, then pursed his lips, his eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of resentment.

On one side of the deck, Carella, who had been speaking irritably to Leo and Hughes, was now all smiles and behaving humbly in front of Nova and the other two wizards.

"Respected wizards, here is a bottle of precious wine, made using winemaking methods from an ancient ruin, a famous wine country. I wonder if the three of you would be interested in tasting it."

While Carrera was speaking, Nova and the other two were still having a lively discussion.

They were talking animatedly, their expressions passionate.

As for Carrera and his precious bottle of wine, they seemed to pay no attention to them at all.

Even though she was being ignored, Carrera still stood aside with a humble and respectful smile.

This demeanor was completely different from his attitude when facing Leo and the other two.

Looking at John, who seemed dejected, Eiffel said, "Carilla's tone and attitude toward the wizarding budding wizard were indeed not very good, but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect wizards, nor does it mean he doesn't like to curry favor with wizards' power."

"Look at him now, there's not a trace of his rudeness and brutality from before."

"He even took the initiative to host Nova and his companions."

"His pride was only towards aspiring wizards; he was humble and subservient to established wizards. His greatest ambition in life was to become a servant of a powerful wizard."

"John, the reason I put you in charge of taking care of Wizard Danville is not because I deliberately assigned you a job that would make you lose your dignity."

"Instead, it's about cultivating good relationships with wizards, which is exactly in our knights' interest. Since you're classmates with the wizard Danville, you should make the most of that."

"That's all I have to say. If you really are unwilling, I will arrange for someone else to replace you. If you won't do this, there are plenty of knights who will. They don't consider it shameful to be a servant of a wizard."

A struggle flashed in John's eyes.

Self-esteem, future, prospects, face... a variety of words surged in my mind.

Finally, John's eyes hardened, and he said, "Captain Eiffel, I'm sorry, I won't do it!"

"I am the son of a count, a nobleman of the kingdom."

"I have my pride."

Even if attaching myself to a wizard could make my future promising.

"I will not accept a status that is obtained by groveling and serving commoners."

"I am John!"

"He is a knight with noble honors!"

John spoke with great conviction.

However, in Eiffel's eyes, he was just a pathetic wretch who clung to his aristocratic identity to the point of oblivion.

Eiffel said, "Fine, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

Eiffel turned and left.

John watched Eiffel leave, his eyes resolute.

In my mind, that mysterious voice grew ever stronger.

You made the right choice.

"The glory of knighthood, the honor of nobility, lingers in your heart."

These things will lead you down a legendary path.

"The Knight King who defeated the wizard... Don't you think this magnificent epic of knighthood is perfect for someone like you?"

Defeat the wizards and crush them under your feet!

"Let those who despise you, those who belittle you, and those hateful wizards all submit to your mighty power!"

"You...are the king!"
