Chapter 6 The Baptism Ceremony Begins

Flipping through the yellowed pages of the book, Rhine, who had mastered magic for three years, had a clear understanding of the magical structure of this world for the first time.

The magicians in this world are closer to the image of classical magicians in myths, fairy tales, and folk tales, and are quite different from modern games and animations.

Now, when most people think of magic, the first thing that comes to mind is turrets that use fireballs and lightning.

However, it was much later that the image of a magician who could throw fireballs and lightning and protect himself with a shield became widely accepted by the public.

At least we had to wait until the board game "Dungeons & Dragons" took off, and then the Japanese "Dragon Quest" series became popular.

As for more classical magicians, most of their magic lacks direct killing capabilities.

The functions of magic are often transformation, summoning, charm, curse, potion making, prophecy and divination, etc.

The Book of Transfiguration and Summoning, as the name suggests, mainly deals with two categories: transformation and summoning, but it also contains some miscellaneous magic and rich magical knowledge in all aspects.

After a quick glance, Rhine began to carefully study the memory tips and try to practice the spells.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

It's another sunny afternoon.

The loud eagle cry pierced the sky and startled the clouds.

An eagle with gorgeous feathers flew out from the window of the palace and circled in the blue sky.

The eagle swooped down and flew over the heads of the guards, attendants, princes and ministers, causing bursts of exclamations.

The court jester who was performing raised his head and failed to catch the ball thrown in the air;

The princes and ministers followed the eagle's flying path in the sky, their surprise and excitement were beyond words.

The eagle skillfully turned several times in the air and landed beside the fountain in the garden.

The eagle shook its body and transformed into a human form.

It turned out to be a handsome boy.

He was wearing a hood, had a slender and petite figure, and his robes almost dragged on the ground.

Amid the sounds of surprise and praise behind him, Rhine walked straight through the green path and returned to his bedroom without looking back.

"Is this the King's advisor, the Kingdom's wise man, and the court magician, Lord Rhine? What a miraculous power!"

"Being able to see a real magician perform magic at such a close distance is something I never dared to imagine before!"

"Wow, even after watching it several times, I still can't remember the process of Lord Rhine's transformation!"

“…”

In the garden, people were talking about the miraculous scene they had just witnessed.

Similar scenes have appeared many times in the backyard of the palace over this period of time.

When Rhine first became the sage of the kingdom, many princes and ministers could not believe that such a powerful magician was willing to serve as an advisor to the court for such a long time.

And this court adviser was granted power second only to the king!

For this, he has been subject to many doubts and gossips.

There were even people with bad intentions who spread rumors privately that the king had encountered a charlatan and that the hired magician had no magic power at all and was just a circus clown.

Even the king had to face the pressure from all sides and could only find Rhine privately and ask him to prove himself in front of his ministers.

That afternoon, Rhine performed his first "magic show" in the back garden of the palace.

When the goshawk transformed into a human form in front of everyone, all the doubts became a joke.

Since then, Rhine's "performance" when practicing magic has become the most anticipated scene in the afternoon for princes and ministers.

What Rhine didn't know was that today was different from the past, his performance was seen by a special audience.

He has a slightly round face, a slightly fat body, and is honest and amiable. He is none other than the most famous magician in the kingdom, Oz.

Oz was invited to the palace today to perform for the ministers.

But obviously, Rhine's magic attracted far more attention than his magic.

Oz watched the hooded boy disappear into the green.

In my heart, the shock kept echoing.

Half a minute later, Oz finally remembered to blink because his eyes were too dry.

"This is the magician!"

"This is magic, real magic, not some sleight of hand trick I do on stage. Powers that I will never be able to touch in my lifetime."

"A magician like Lord Rhine, who possesses extraordinary power, probably wouldn't even glance at the tricks I perform."

"Come to think of it, Lord Rhine looks so young. How could such a young child become an advisor to the court?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No, no, I heard that magicians have potions that can keep one's youth forever. He might even be older than my grandmother's grandmother!"

Oz closed his eyes, the miracle he had just witnessed lingering in his mind.

The scene of the gorgeous eagle transforming into a human form in an instant was engraved in his mind for a long time.

Even many years later, in the Emerald City of Oz, Oz, who was mistakenly regarded as the King of Wizards, still recalled the scene he saw today again and again in his dreams.

Then he suddenly woke up from a long dream, sweating profusely.

…

Rhine returned to the bedroom and evaluated the results of this Transfiguration training.

"I can now fully control my transformed body. With the help of magic, I can even fly better than a real eagle..."

The boy picked up the "Book of Transformation and Summoning" on the table and started taking notes in the book.

"According to this book, it takes at least one or two years for a novice magician to get started and be able to barely transform into an animal."

"And if you want to learn the contents of the entire book, it will take more than 30 years."

"But I got the hang of it after just a few days of study. Now, after less than a month of practice, I'm already quite proficient!"

This made Rhine excited and surprised:

"Could it be that I am a one in a million magic genius?"

Rhine estimated that at the current rate of progress, by the time the little princess Aurora was born, he might have mastered the entire magic book!

Even if something unexpected happens, he can handle it! "The king has listened to my advice and invited all 13 witches to attend Princess Aurora's baptism ceremony. I don't know how fate will develop..."

…

Time flies like an arrow.

Time passes.

More than half a year later, Aurora was born.

Just as the kingdom's sage Rhine predicted, the child was a lovely little princess.

The king set a sumptuous banquet and invited all 13 witches in the kingdom to attend the little princess's baptism ceremony.

At that time, 13 witches will join Sage Rhine in blessing Aurora!
