Chapter 8 Teacher



"Yes, I have a letter written by Her Majesty the Queen. As he said this, a letter suddenly appeared in Edwin's hand."

"Her Majesty the Queen has written down all the issues that concern you in the letter. Lord Xingchen can read it before making any comments." After handing over the letter, he picked up the cup in front of him and slowly drank tea.

Green read the letter carefully, and then thought about it for a while before speaking: "Your Majesty is the one who thinks things through. I was too anxious."

"Don't think too much, Your Excellency Xingchen. There are not many people in the entire elf race who can unseal the seal, and I am one of them. During the time I teach magic, I will decide whether to unseal it based on his situation."

"That would be great."

"Arnold walked up to Green and whispered to him, "Master, it's almost time for dinner, and the servant came over to say that the young master has returned and is taking a bath and changing clothes."

"Sir Edwin, please go to the restaurant and taste the delicacies of my Maple Leaf Territory."

The dishes served in the kitchen today were all developed under Lin Xingchen's instructions. They were a variety of stir-fried dishes paired with various local barbecues. Although they were a bit out of place, the kitchen still invested a lot of money to prevent Edwin from feeling looked down upon.

Lin Xingchen arrived just after the few people entered the restaurant. Because there were important guests today, Lin Xingchen also wore an exaggerated and uncomfortable dress.

"Xingchen, come and greet Lord Edwin." Green was afraid that his grandson would be rude, so he reminded him quickly.

"Hello, Lord Edwin." A standard aristocratic etiquette made Green and Linda, who was responsible for teaching etiquette, nod continuously.

"Don't be so polite, little one. I believe we can get along well with each other in the future." Edwin liked the exquisite child in front of him very much.

"Little Xingchen, this is the magic teacher that Grandpa invited for you. Sir Edwin is a very powerful magician. You must learn well. Don't worry! I know the importance of this."

The following session was much more relaxed as everyone kept tasting the food on the table. What surprised Lin Xingchen was that Edwin could actually eat spicy food. Although Lin Xingchen himself did not eat spicy food, he still got a lot of peppers from the space farm.

Ever since Green and Arnold tasted it, they can't do without this kind of blood-boiling food. In Green's words, eating chili peppers can give him the same passion and enthusiasm as when he was young.

Lin Xingchen scoffed at this statement, but someone actually liked it so he also set aside a few acres of land to plant it.

Lin Xingchen's apprenticeship ceremony was held three days later. On that day, the Duke's Castle was crowded with people, and all the prominent people in the entire Maple Leaf came to watch the ceremony.

After Lin Xingchen presented Edwin with a bouquet of flowers representing study, the entire study ceremony officially began.

As a teacher, Edwin refused flowers for the first time, which meant that he did not yet approve of the student in front of him.

Once again, the servant brought the fruit to Edwin, but Edwin shook his head and refused it, indicating that he did not need to command the students to eat.

The third time the servant handed over was a quill pen, and Lin Xingchen again respectfully gave it to Edwin. This time Edwin accepted it with a smile and gave Lin Xingchen a book in return.

The whole process ended with applause, followed by a dance party and dinner, but this had nothing to do with Lin Xingchen and Master Edwin.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief as Edwin arrived in his room.

"I didn't expect that you, the Star Clan, still insist on such a study etiquette. You know, even in my elf clan, few people use such etiquette now."

"Teacher, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you. It is a bit rude but I feel uncomfortable to ask it, but I am also curious."

"Tell me about it?"

"I heard from my grandfather that you are the great elder of the forest elves, but I see that you look no different from a human!"

"Haha... these are just some little tricks. When you learn about this someday, you'll know it's actually very simple.

The reason why we maintain the human appearance is to avoid some unnecessary trouble. Little guy, you asked me a question, so I will ask you a question too.

Do you know why you gave me a pen as the gift for your study? Why should I give you a book in return? "

“Although Grandpa never told me why, I boldly guess that you didn’t accept the first two because you thought I wasn’t sincere enough.

My gift of the quill pen should mean seeking knowledge, and your gift of the book should mean that you will teach me knowledge. "

"You are very smart, that's basically what I mean. I hope you can study hard from now on, and I will teach you hard as well."

"It is my honor to study with a master of magic like you."

"Before I teach you, I want to ask you, how do you understand magic?"

"Well... magicians use their own mental power to communicate with the magical elements in the outside world, and use specific magic spells to form the magic form they need."

"That's a very standard answer. It can be said that there is no problem with your answer among human magicians, but it is still far from being right for you and me. As for why, maybe you will know it later."

"I heard from Mr. Arnold that you can now use the fireball. Show me how to use it."

I didn't expect that my first magic class would come so soon, but I still performed my little fireball for Edwin as I was told.

In order to let Edwin know his level clearly, Lin Xingchen increased his strength until the small fireball in his hand was as big as a basketball.

"Not a bad talent. The speed of element condensation is no slower than some elves. Let me ask you, which element do you feel most compatible with?"

"What do you mean by most friendly?"

When you meditate, which color element is the most abundant? After recalling for a while, Lin Xingchen answered: "Silver white and aqua blue are the most, red and cyan are slightly less, and after that there are too many and I don't pay attention."

Edwin nodded and said, "Your Star Clan is famous for space magic. It's natural that you are close to space elements."

"You can be so compatible with water, fire, and wind. You are considered a genius even among the elves."

"Then I will teach you how to learn magic and how to use it." - In a towering four-story building, Lin Xingchen stood in front of the window, looking at the busy street below with helplessness in his eyes.

After two knocks on the door, someone pushed it open.

"Master, it's almost lunch time. The lord and the others are waiting for you to return."

Let's go! The teacher is leaving today, so it's better to go back early.

The Duke's Castle is still the same as before, with basically no major changes except for some modifications inside. All the servants I met along the way saluted with respect.

After knocking on Edwin's door familiarly, Lin Xingchen pushed the door open when he heard someone calling him to come in.

"Teacher, why don't you stay for two more years? After all, I still have a lot of knowledge about magic to learn from you."

"Hmph, learning, learning how to use the most orthodox magic to do the most unorthodox things? You're lucky that I'm the one teaching you magic. If it were any other elf, I'd probably have beaten you up and sent you away, or given you a cold shoulder."

"Teacher, please don't say that. Even if you criticize me again and again, I will not change my mind about the use of magic."

"The reason why so many magicians in this world are so stubborn is that they believe that magic should be used for war or to show off. This has led to the decline of magicians from one generation to the next."

"Now I have applied magic to life and production, and you have seen the results. In just eight years, you know the changes in Maple Leaf Territory very well. Only magic that benefits everyone is good magic.

And if the teacher really didn't agree with me, he wouldn't help me when I encountered difficulties. This proves that you actually understand me in your heart, but you just feel embarrassed. "At the end of the conversation, Lin Xingchen and Edwin couldn't help laughing.

"I help you because I want to see what magic can do in your hands. I also hope that you can stick to what you are doing now and help those poor people change their fate."

The conversation between the master and the disciple was interrupted by the arrival of the servant, and the meal ended with laughter in the restaurant. Looking at Edwin who had packed his belongings, Lin Xingchen resisted the urge to keep him.

“Every magician has his own magic wand, and the purpose of the magic wand is to help the magician provide assistance in casting spells and increase the power.

I didn't want to give you a magic wand before because I wanted you to use your abilities more. Now I'm about to leave, so I'll give you a magic wand before I go.

He stretched out his hands and a wooden wand appeared in Edwin's hands. This is the wand my teacher gave me when I was young. It has accompanied me through countless storms. I now give it to you. "

Lin Xingchen quickly and respectfully took the wand. The wand was about seventy centimeters long and made entirely of wood. The strange thing was that a dull gem was inlaid on the top.

Lin Xingchen had a familiar feeling while stroking the magic wand, as if he had encountered this feeling somewhere before but couldn't remember where it was.

"This wand is made from a branch of the elves' treasure, the Tree of Life. There is no other material known to man that can compare to the Tree of Life."

"Tree...big tree...so that's why I was wondering why it felt so familiar." After figuring out the key, Lin Xingchen's face slowly showed an ecstatic look.

"Teacher, I remember you told me when you were teaching me alchemy that the Tree of Life is the elves' treasure and its leaves are the best material for alchemy. You also said that wherever the Tree of Life takes root, it will become a holy place for magic. Is that right?"

"Yes, that's true."
