Chapter 6 The Baptismal Ceremony Begins
Turning over the yellowed pages of the book, Rhine, who has mastered magic for three years, has 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 folklore, and are different from modern games and animations.
Now, when most people mention magic, the first thing that comes to mind is a turret that uses fireballs and lightning.
However, it was a long time before the image of a fort magician who could throw fireballs, lightning, and protect himself with a shield was widely accepted by the public.
At least it will have to wait until the later board game "Dungeons and Dragons" starts, coupled with the popularity and popularity of Japan's "Dragon Quest" series.
As for more classical magicians, most magic lacks direct killing functions.
The functions of magic are often transformation, summoning, charm, curse, refining of potions, prophecy and divination, etc.
The "Book of Transformation and Summoning", as the name suggests, mainly involves two categories: transformation and summoning, but there are also some miscellaneous magics, and it also contains rich magical knowledge in all aspects.
After a rough browse, Rhine began to study the memory essentials carefully and tried to practice the spells in it.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
It is another sunny afternoon.
The high-pitched eagle's cry pierced the sky and filled the sky with shock.
An eagle with gorgeous feathers flew out from the window of the palace and hovered in the blue sky.
I saw the eagle swooping down and flying over the heads of the guards, attendants and princes and ministers, causing waves of exclamation.
The performing court jester raised his head and failed to catch the ball thrown in the air;
The princes and ministers followed the eagle's flight in the sky with their eyes, and their surprise and excitement were beyond words.
The eagle skillfully made several turns in the air and landed by the fountain in the garden.
The eagle shook its body, transformed into a human form.
He is clearly a handsome boy.
He was wearing a hood, with a slender figure, and his robe almost reached the ground.
Amidst the bursts of surprise and praise behind him, Rhine walked straight through the green path and back to his bedroom without looking back.
"Is this His Majesty the King's advisor, the sage of the kingdom, and the court magician His Excellency Rhine? What a miraculous power!"
"Being able to see a real magician , it was unthinkable to cast magic at such a close distance 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 what they had just seen. A miraculous scene.
Similar scenes have appeared many times in the backyard of the palace during this period.
When Rhine first became the sage of the kingdom, many princes and ministers did not believe that there was a powerful magician who was willing to serve as a consultant to the palace for a long time.
And this palace advisor was also granted power second only to the king!
For this reason, he aroused doubts and gossip.
Some people with bad intentions even spread rumors in private that the king had met a charlatan. The hired magician has no magic power at all, just a circus clown.
Even the king had to face pressure from all sides and could only find Rhine privately and ask him to prove himself in front of his ministers.
That afternoon, in the back garden of the palace, Rhine performed his first "magic show".
When the goshawk turned into a human form in front of everyone, all doubts became a joke.
Since then, Rhine's "performance" when practicing magic has become the most anticipated scene in the afternoons of princes and ministers. What Rhine didn't know was that today was different from the past. His performance was also 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 Oz, the most famous magician in the kingdom.
Oz was originally invited to the palace today to perform for the officials.
But obviously, Rhine's magic attracted far more attention than his magic.
Oz watched the hooded boy disappear at the end of the green lawn.
The unstoppable shock echoed in my heart.
After half a minute, Oz finally remembered to blink because his eyes were too dry.
“This is the magician!”
"This is magic, real magic, not the tricks I played on the stage. A power that I will never be able to touch in my life."
"A magician with extraordinary power like Lord Rhine can see I probably won’t even take a look at the tricks I perform.”
“Speaking of which, Master Rhine. He looks so young. Can such a young child actually become a counselor of the palace? "No, no, I heard that magicians have potions that make their appearance last forever." Maybe bigger than my grandma’s grandma!”
Oz closed his eyes, the miracle he just saw lingering in his mind.
The scene of the gorgeous eagle turning into human form in an instant was etched in his heart for a long time.
Even many years later, in the Emerald City of Oz, Oz, who was misunderstood by others as the King of Magicians, still recalled the scene he saw today again and again in his deep sleep.
Then I suddenly woke up from a long dream, sweating profusely.
......
Rhine returned to the bedroom and evaluated the results of this transformation training.
"I can now fully control the 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 again. ” and took notes in the book.
“According to this book, it takes at least one or two years for a new magician to get started and be able to barely transform into an animal.”
“And if you want to transform into an animal, it will take you at least one or two years. It takes more than thirty years to learn the entire book.”
“But I have already mastered it after only a few days of practice.”
This made Rhine excited and surprised:
“Can it be said that I am the one-of-a-kind magic wizard?”
Rhine estimates that according to the current progress, it will take until the little princess Aurora is born , he may have mastered the entire magic book!
Even if something unexpected happens, he can handle it!
“The king has followed my suggestion and invited all 13 witches to attend Princess Aurora’s christening ceremony. I don’t know how fate will develop...”
……
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by.
Time passes.
More than half a year later, Aurora was born.
As predicted by the kingdom sage Rhine, the child is a lovely little princess.
The king held a sumptuous banquet and invited all 13 witches in the kingdom to participate in the christening ceremony of the little princess.
At that time, 13 witches will join Sage Rhine to offer blessings to Aurora!
