Chapter 317 People can not live, but they can never not live
Arcane and magic.
Is it a training profession that imitates the magicians who created it after birth?
Since this matter has been mentioned in the textbooks and by the professor in class, is it possible that magician is a natural profession?
Appearing out of thin air?
No creation?
But how is this possible?
After auditing the basic courses at the Arcane Academy, Lu Wenwu explored the mysteries of magic in the library as usual.
It has been three months since he came to the Magic Wizarding Academy, but many things still trouble him.
Arcane is one of them.
In his understanding and cognition, the magic performed by these arcane magicians on the Continent of Gods is the magic he knows.
Meditation condenses the spirit, breathing refines magic power, relying on mental power to construct arcane nodes, filling them with magic power to form arcane models, and finally releasing them.
There are also arcane scrolls that are exactly the same as the classic magic scrolls!
Double casting, silent chanting and other techniques that feel extremely familiar are classics among classics.
There is even a combination of calmness and fireball!
On the other hand, the magician is just using one laser-like "spell" after another to unleash all kinds of surreal and outrageous powers.
Lu Wenwu couldn't figure it out.
Obviously other cultivation professions are very normal, why is the magician so special?
There is even no trace at all!
The same is true for the dragon language magic taught by Isidro.
It’s magical and powerful, but I just can’t parse it, I can’t understand it, and I have no idea how it works.
The dragons attributed all this to the magic of blood inheritance, the supreme power left in their blood by their ancestor, the Dragon God, which was beyond the comprehension of mortal dragons like them.
Magicians attribute all this to the favor of God, believing that magicians are the sons of heaven and earth with great talent. Every magician is favored by God's fate, and this is nature's preference for them.
Lu Wenwu could not deny this.
Shit!
I've never heard of any world where the Sons of Fortune are counted by army group!
All those spellcasting gestures and chanting of incantations are bullshit!
In the library, Lu Wenwu concentrated his will, stared at the book in front of him, and imprinted a strong mental suggestion in his mind.
“Fly!”
Then, without any spellcasting medium, spells or magic spells to guide it, the hardcover tome as thick as an encyclopedia actually flew in front of Lu Wenwu by itself and turned the pages.
Sure enough, my guess should be correct.
Lu Wenwu thought secretly, as if thinking about something.
Everything else is bullshit. The key to a magician's spellcasting lies in whether his willpower is strong and firm. He has proven this many times.
Whether it is a spellcasting gesture or a spell, it is essentially used as a spiritual anchor to strengthen and suggest the wizard's will in order to achieve the standard of "casting".
A wand is by no means necessary for casting spells, it just helps guide magic better.
This is the principle of wandless and silent casting.
When the will is in place, the spell is broken.
Otherwise, as the first magician in the world, could it be that the magic wand was born with him during the ten months of pregnancy?
The reason why Lu Wenwu can master all kinds of magic quickly is because as a spiritual chef with lofty ideals and a body refining champion who has condensed the true meaning of his own martial arts, his will has reached an extremely outrageous level.
In this way, the most important point has been achieved. Naturally, any magic will be easy to master, and you will remember everything you see and learn it in one go.
But he was not so good at arcane, as he had not practiced much in the micro-control of his mental power.
Compared to those true arcane geniuses, he seemed a little clumsy.
Lu Wenwu thought that there should be nothing wrong with his idea.
Through his own experiments and studies with Isidro, he has fully mastered wandless casting and silent casting, two extremely advanced techniques that even magicians may not be able to master.
However, his theory cannot explain one problem.
If the essence of magic lies in will, then why can we release small laser-like spells when casting with a wand, while the magic takes effect directly after the wandless spell is successfully released?
Even those lethal magics cannot be cast without a wand?
Must have that little laser polymer?
Lu Wenwu rubbed his temples and closed the book again.
There is progress in the main quest, but it is not complete.
He had a premonition that the buried past of magic was hidden in the secrets of magicians' spells.
In the evening, after finishing an afternoon of reading, Lu Wenwu went to the kitchen as usual to instruct the arcane servants to cook.
By the way, feed Maomao, Snow and occasionally old man Wood.
During these three months, he has made the entire school cafeteria look brand new, at least that's the case at the magic academy.
Those English-inspired delicacies that have been passed down locally for who knows how many years are still there, but their living space has been seriously squeezed out by the delicacies brought by Lu Wenwu, and they have been improved a lot.
Although Lu Wenwu usually looks like he can only make egg-filled pancakes, as a spiritual chef, his cooking skills for other dishes are also top-notch.
But compared to the increasingly outrageous egg-filled pancakes, these things are still within the scope of what normal people can understand.
In the process of constantly improving the academy's menu and serving as a cooking teacher for the arcane servants, Lu Wenwu even felt that his egg-filled pancake cooking skills, which had been stuck for a long time, had improved a little.
It seems that as long as he continues, he will be able to break through the realm of all things being connected to the gods and enter a higher level in a short time.
What is real food?
Remain unchanged?
Stick to tradition?
Keep it authentic?
No.
Now Lu Wenwu has gradually come to understand.
Be flexible.
Innovation does not mean conservatism, and inheritance does not mean forgetting the roots.
Food has no fixed taste, what is palatable is precious.
Even staple foods may vary in taste and ingredients due to regional reasons, and not everyone will like them.
What’s more, there are many dishes with different cooking techniques and ingredients?
Using local ingredients to make food that suits the local tastes without completely deviating from tradition is the true meaning of gourmet food.
Just like zongzi can be made with red bean paste and candied dates, or with pork and salted egg yolk.
Mooncakes can be made with lotus seed paste and double yolks, or with ham and fresh meat.
Tofu pudding can be eaten salty for breakfast or sweet as a dessert.
There is no need to distinguish who is authentic and who is evil. It is meaningless.
What people like and enjoy is good, and that is delicious.
Lu Wenwu is now working towards this direction.
It would be nice to be able to make his own favorite egg-filled pancakes with his favorite ingredients.
But if you can make egg-filled pancakes that delight those who don’t like it, that would be great too.
“Another fulfilling day!”
Snow, lying on the sofa in the public living room and combing his big tail, let out a happy wolf howl.
"When I think about the fact that next week will be the God's Birthday and I'll have a few days off, and all the study rooms and libraries will be forced to close, I feel so happy, even my tail hair has become soft."
"really."
Lu Wenwu was petting his dog and reading a book, responding absentmindedly.
In another direction, a tall silver skull with a ball of fire element on its head opened and closed its upper and lower jaws with a "clang" sound to express approval.
In his hand, he held his own white bone wand, with endless arcs of magic light jumping from the front end of the wand. It was obvious that he was also a king of curling who did not miss any opportunity to practice.
God's Birthday, one of the most important festivals on the continent of gods.
It is said to commemorate the birth of the first god, the goddess of magic, and it also symbolizes the alternation of the old and the new, and the beginning of a new year.
It is probably similar to a combination of the Chinese New Year in China on the blue planet and Christmas in the West.
It was so grand that even a place like Magick Wizarding Academy was forced to take a three-day holiday, without even being allowed to attend self-study classes.
There is absolutely no trace of the gods here, yet there are traces of the gods everywhere.
Lu Wenwu thought that in a world with real supernatural powers, the gods should not be just bragging. At least the God's Birthday and the Goddess of Magic should not be groundless.
But, if even in a top force like the Magic Wizard Academy, there is no one who is so anxious, where did all these guys go?
Lu Wenwu has already decided that if there is no substantial progress at the end of this school year, he and Isidro will go back to Dragon Island to inquire about the Dragon God.
Ding-ling-ling
Just as several people were busy with their own things, the doorbell of the public living room suddenly rang.
Lu Wenwu raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the door opened automatically.
This move obviously made the newly arrived visitor very jealous, and the word "envy" flashed in his eyes.
Snow, who was slumped on the sofa, twitched his nose, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He propped himself up on the sofa back with his mouth, stretched his neck and let out a "wow".
"Huh? Your Highness Bohenia, what a rare visitor! You actually came to visit us?"
The second prince of the Bauhinia Empire, Mende Bohenia, retracted his envious gaze, laughed awkwardly twice, and stated his purpose directly:
"Good evening, everyone. I have something I want to ask Fifth Brother."
"Looking for me?"
Lu Wenwu sat up straight and scratched Maomao's head in confusion.
It seems like I don’t have any relationship with this person?
At most, just say hello when you meet in class.
In fact, he wasn't the only one who was confused.
Even the silver skeleton raised its head, and the dark blue soul fire in its empty eyes trembled violently, revealing its extremely intense mental fluctuations.
The same thing happened to the fire element, which turned blue and white, flashing like a neon light.
Perhaps Lu Wenwu himself is the only one who doesn't pay attention to what's happening in the class.
Who else doesn't know that the Second Prince Zijing has always been extremely envious of the fact that Lu Wenwu always gets so much attention from other people in the academy no matter what he does?
Especially after Lu Wenwu and Isidro made their relationship clear, Mende often became furious after class.
If this guy had not been secretly jealous and had never taken the initiative to provoke or do anything dirty, Snow would have told Lu Wenwu about this long ago.
Mende seemed to be aware of his own character and quickly said, "I have no ill intentions! I come here with sincerity! I really have something I want to ask Fifth Brother for advice!"
"That's not important." Lu Wenwu gave him a questioning look. "I remember you are Mende Bohenia, the second prince of the Bauhinia Empire? What do you want from me?"
Other "people" were more curious.
This guy is jealous of Lu Wenwu to the point of madness. What could he ask for advice on?
Mende's face turned pale and red, like a dyeing factory, and his eyes were shy.
Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly bent down and said loudly: "Fifth brother! Please teach me how to become a person who attracts everyone's attention!"
"I've inquired about it. Fifth Brother, you like to read all kinds of strange stories and ancient books about gods. The history of our Bauhinia Empire is even older and more profound than that of the Jade Empire. Some of the books in the Royal Library are not even available in the Academy Library!"
"If Fifth Brother can give me some guidance, I can let him borrow books freely from the Royal Library of the Bauhinia Empire!"
Lu Wenwu: “???”
ah?
What's wrong with this?
Lu Wenwu looked at the extremely sincere Mende with a confused look on his face, not knowing what he was talking about at all.
Snow, who was still unable to hold back his laughter, told him everything.
Only then did he realize that there was someone in the class who had been trying to get everyone's attention, but had always failed miserably.
At once.
Just like Mr. Wang Feng who never makes the headlines.
Although it is a bit strange, it would not be a bad idea to talk a little if there are books from the college library as a thank you gift.
"Uh, I mean the Bohemia Palace."
"Fifth brother, just call me Mende!"
"Well, Mende, why do you think I'm the center of attention?"
Lu Wenwu was a little puzzled by this.
He clearly didn't do anything, and he hardly even participated in any group activities, so why is he the center of attention?
Hearing this, Mende immediately became excited. "If you, Fifth Brother, aren't the center of attention, then who is? You're the undisputed number one in the lower grades, and almost all the professors praise you highly. You're also the first freshman in the academy's history to pass the Nine Rings Magic Puzzle, and you've even improved the cuisine."
He knew all about it and reported it one by one.
Even Lu Wenwu himself was stunned.
Are you so famous?
The whole school knows about you?
Is this true or false?
After pondering for a long time, Lu Wenwu asked tentatively, "So, you want to be as good as me? To have the same level of proficiency in all subjects as me?"
"If my grades are the same as my fifth brother's, will it cause a sensation in the school? Will everyone notice me?" Mende immediately became excited.
"Not likely." Lu Wenwu shook his head decisively. "So you don't really care about grades, you just want to be noticed? To gain everyone's approval?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mende nodded like a little pecking rice.
This is what he wants, nothing else matters!
This feeling makes him extremely addicted and gives him a great sense of accomplishment!
Lu Wenwu immediately said, "Isn't this simple? Go back right now and kill your elder brother and your father, succeed the throne as emperor, marry all the concubines in your father's harem, and then declare war on those messy small countries that can't defeat you. In this way, I guarantee that the eyes of the entire continent will be focused on you."
Mende: “???”
No, brother.
Isn’t this a bit too extreme?
