Beverly is waiting at the door. When she saw Allegri, she immediately came up to him, but when she found Ranaya next to her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in surprise, "Youwhy are you here?" "I dropped out of school." Naya answered truthfully. "What?" Beverly was stunned, looking a little at a loss. "I'll put my luggage in first." Allegri walked around her and walked towards the yard. His decision was wise, because the moment he entered the door, the two sisters behind him started quarreling. "Sure enough." Allegri muttered and put the luggage on the floor. The big dog Simba came over and stuck out his tongue to lick his hand, obviously hungry. "Don't worry, I'll take you to eat in a minute." Allegri reassured, but the big dog's condition was still a little abnormal. It kept turning to the door and sniffing, as if it had discovered something. "What's wrong, Simba?" Allegri asked in confusion. He lifted the big dog's front paw and played with it for a while, but the big dog looked glum. At this moment, Ranaya pushed the door open after the quarrel, and Beverly followed behind and talked about her. But the girl's attention was instantly transferred to the big dog. She rubbed her eye sockets and shouted in disbelief, "Barmo!" The big dog barked twice, broke away from Allegri's hand, and shook it. Tail, while rushing over. Lanaya knelt down and hugged the big dog's neck. Her heart felt sour and she shed tears. "You" Beverly wanted to say more, but was frightened by this scene. She stopped blankly and glanced at Allegri, trying to make sure that her sister's crying was not because she was too nagging. Allegri made a silence gesture. He didn't understand what happened, but he waited until the girl calmed down before asking. That's right after all. After some time, Ranaya finally stood up and wiped the tears from her cheeks. The big dog leaned against her side lovingly, its tail wagging from side to side. "You just called it, Balmer?" Allegri asked proactively. ¡°Bamo is my teacher¡¯s former magic pet,¡± Lanaya explained. "But after the teacher passed away, it disappeared. Excuse me, where did you find it?" "Ask Egg. When he came here on the first day, he brought this big dog with him." Beverly said. "Mr. Egg?" Lanaya's eyes focused on him. "I met it at the Demon Pet Cemetery. It must have been discovered by the Municipal Secretary when it was wandering on the streets and abandoned there." These days. Allegri also thought about the origin of the big dog, and combined with what Ranaya said, this is the most reasonable explanation. "I see," the girl nodded, and then asked with some embarrassment, "Sir, I have a heartfelt request" "Do you want to take Simba back?" Allegri was keenly aware of it. What she meant was to refuse first. "I'm afraid not. I have already signed a magic pet contract with it." "Contract?" Ranaya asked in shock. "Sir, is he also a mage?" "It's hard to say a word. Stop standing, sit down and speak slowly." Allegri greeted. "Wait a minute," Beverly thought for a while and suggested, "It's almost eight o'clock. Why don't we talk while eating, you guys wait a moment and I'll buy some food." Allegri nodded in agreement, she Then he went to the cabinet, took out some money, and walked out the door. ? ******? The three of them sat around the wooden table. On the table lay a plate of bacon, a plate of baked potatoes, and half a basket of bread. ¡°I just moved here, I¡¯m not familiar with the place, and I couldn¡¯t find a place that sells wine.¡± Beverly said apologetically. She peeled the potatoes and sprinkled fine salt on them. "It doesn't matter, I don't want to drink anyway." Allegri waved his hand and picked up a piece of bread. He hadn't eaten for a long time and he was really hungry. Lanaya did not touch the knife and fork. She just got some food for the big dog, and then looked at Allegri, waiting for his answer. ¡°It¡¯s okay to tell you, I used to be a fire mage.¡± Being made uncomfortable by her, Allegri took the initiative to speak. "Why once?" Ranaya couldn't help but be stunned. One of the biggest differences between mages and warriors is that the latter's physical strength will decline as they age, and they may even be unable to maintain their original state, while the former can continue to Accumulate knowledge to reach higher levels. "It's a long story," Allegri thought for a moment, then said frankly, "First of all, I'm not from Seran" "What?" The two sisters said in surprise at the same time. "Sir, are you from the mainland?" Lanaya looked at him curiously, as if she wanted to find the difference in him. "Your accent is indeed a bit strange. I thought you were from the countryside in a remote place." Beverly also joined the discussion. "So, Mr. Egg, how did you cross the blue sea?" Lanaya asked again, and the two of them chattered, making the room very lively. "Just think that I came by boat. Unfortunately, the boat capsized when I was about to arrive. The place where I landed was the Demon Pet Cemetery" Allegri replied vaguely, but what happened after landing? , including how he signed the contract with Big Dog and how he came to Dover City, he answered truthfully and basically did not hide anything. The three of them ate and talked. After more than an hour, Allegri finally made it clear. In addition, he also fully satisfied the sisters' curiosity and introduced some situations on the mainland. "That is to say, your husband was once a magician. He was framed by his enemies and ended up on Seran Island?" Lanaya summarized concisely. "Yes." Allegri nodded. He also thought carefully before revealing the truth. Needless to say, Beverly, Lanaya also has some opinions on the Seran authorities, so there is no need to worry about them betraying her. "Do you still want to go back?" Beverly hesitated for a moment and asked. Allegri fell into deep thought for a long time, then sighed and shook his head, "I don't know. Besides, Selan has cut off contact with the mainland now. If I want to go back, I'm afraid there won't be a boat to cross." "Then. Don't go back," Lanaya interjected, "I heard that the mainland is still in raging war, and it would be better to stay at Seran Island." Allegri smiled noncommittally and said nothing. "Also. Why did the gentleman say that he was once a magician?" Ranaya asked again, very puzzled. "The magic power in the body has been drained and the foundation has been destroyed. Naturally, it is no longer a magician." Allegri replied casually, he was still thinking about other things. "There is a magic net. How can the magic power be drained?" Lanaya asked, tilting her head, her hair trembling. "What exactly is the Magic Network?" After all, the other party is a fourth-ring mage, and after systematic study, Allegri believes that she can give herself a correct answer. "The Magic Network is the Magic Network," Lanaya stretched out her hand and grabbed it in the air. "It is flowing magic energy. It is invisible and qualityless, but it is everywhere." Allegri frowned, but still nothing Understand. "On the mainland, when learning magic, isn't the first lesson about sensing the existence of magic nets?" Lanaya was also a little confused. "There is no magic academy on the mainland. We learn magic from our teachers. At the beginning, we learn how to meditate. Concentrate magic power" Allegri explained a few words. "Then how do you determine what everyone's talent is?" Lanaya opened her eyes wide. "Of course it depends on whether the mental power is strong or not." Allegri asked, "You?" "Of course it depends on the compatibility with the magic network." Obviously, on this issue, there is a big difference between Selan and the mainland. Difference, Lanaya lowered her head and thought hard for a moment. Only then did he suddenly realize, "I know, the mainland is still using the old system that was more than a thousand years ago I have read relevant records in the book "History of Ancient Magic". You are masters and apprentices. Cast spells At that time, you still need to go through a series of tedious steps to construct the circuit and infuse the magic power. ""When you Selans cast spells, you don't need to construct the circuit and infuse the magic power?" Allegri was shocked. He has always believed that no matter where in the world, the principles of magic are the same. "No, we directly communicate with the magic network, obtain the completed spell from it, and then infuse it with magic power to cast it. Some low-level spells don't even need magic power." Lanaya's words reminded Allegri of her casting In the "Arcane Missile" scene, you don't need to recite a spell, just call out the name of the spell, and the silver-gray missiles will shoot out. "Then you can cast any spell in an instant?" Even he himself found this inference impossible. "It all depends on your compatibility with the magic network. A mage with a high degree of compatibility will have a much higher casting speed and have extra spell grids." Lanaya knew everything. "Magic grid?" Allegri encountered a new term. "It is the upper limit of spells that can be obtained from the magic network every day," Lanaya explained. "For example, I am a fourth-level mage. According to common sense, I can cast three fourth-level spells every day, but because my magic network's compatibility is 100%. Seventy-two, so I can cast one more fourth-level spell. ""So, what about the third-level spell?" Allegri became very interested in this so-called "magic net". "The principle is to double down, I can"Place six third-level spells, plus extra spell slots, so the total is seven," Ranaya explained patiently, "Similarly, the spell slots for second-level spells are twelve plus one, thirteen." " "Well" Allegri nodded. He understood the meaning of the magic grid. Seeing that their discussion was in full swing, Beverly couldn't get a word in, so she began to clear the table silently. ***** * The magic network is a great initiative of Master Selan. With the gray tower as the center and the highest tower in each territory as the fulcrum, it is filled with magic energy all over the two islands inside and outside Selan, providing spellcasting for all the magicians on the island. Since childhood, the children on Seran Island have begun to try to sense the magic network, communicate with the magic network, and adjust their mental fluctuations to improve their relationship with the magic network as much as possible. Compatibility. By the time they reach the age of **, children whose compatibility exceeds 25% can enter the academy to learn magic knowledge. Of course, this also requires a certain amount of financial ability and compatibility. With improvement, students who have completed the preliminary courses can obtain the title of first-level mage and become an official mage after passing the cultural examination and the magic network test. In the magic academies across Seran Island, more than 90% of them can do so. Students can achieve this achievement. That's why some people say that the entire Seran Island has hundreds of thousands of mages. Although it sounds very majestic, the vast majority of them are low-level professionals in the first to second levels. "According to what you said, mainland mages are divided into five levels. Among them, the top legendary mages are also called nine-ring mages in Seran." Under the dim yellow light, Lanaya said enthusiastically, " From this, we can know that each level on the mainland is equivalent to two rings of Seran. If I were on the mainland, I should be regarded as an intermediate mage. " "Yes, if you advance to the fifth ring, you will be a high-level one," Allegri said with a smile, "On the mainland, that is a big gap. At least the remuneration as a mercenary will be quadrupled. of. " "In two days, I also want to be a mercenary," Lanaya said softly, "Four-ring mage can still find a job. " "Your sister will be worried. Allegri pursed his lips. On the surface, Beverly was cleaning the room, but her ears kept standing up. "What about you, Mr. Egg, what are your plans?" "Lanaya changed the subject. "I also want to be a mercenary. Of course, I have to wait until my martial arts skills are somewhat improved," Allegri replied, "Then I will try to restore my magic power. " "With the help of the magic network, you can recover faster," Lanaya suggested, "If sir, I can help you. "Of course I am willing," Allegri nodded, "But how can I sense the existence of the magic network?" "After so many years of development and improvement, the magic network has become more and more complex. When children sense the magic network, they must have elders to look after them to avoid getting lost in it," Ranaya realized that she had made a mistake in language. His cheeks turned red, and he quickly added, "Mr. Yi Ge, I'm not saying that I am your elder, but I am saying that when you sense the magic network for the first time, you need a guide. " "Besides you, miss, I have no other choice," Allegri waved his hand without hesitation and said with a smile, "Then it's settled, you will guide me to sense the magic network. " "anytime. "Lanaya was still blushing and nodded in agreement. "Okay. " Only then did Allegri realize that it was already late at night. He stood up and said goodbye to the two sisters. The elder sister nodded slightly and continued the work at hand. The younger sister sent him to the gate of the hospital. "By the way, someone may be up to something evil. You should be more alert," Allegri warned before leaving. "He is a thug from the dock gang, his name is Fast Fist Hank. " Lanaya nodded, indicating that she understood that her identity as a fourth-ring mage was enough to deter those reckless men. "(To be continued)
