Chapter 18 -

 The First Witchcraft

Carly fell into deep thought.

Lucien took this opportunity to quickly rinse his hands as well. He then picked up a glass of water and hid his discomfort by tactically drinking.

Gulp ... Lucien gulped down several mouthfuls of water before he completely suppressed the feeling of revulsion in his heart, and to keep himself from behaving abnormally, he even gently pinched his thighs a few times with his hand through his clothes.

One had to get used to it!

It wasn't just because one was a mentor, but in the wizard world, blood and darkness were everywhere. Compared to the world of witches, the 'Rolling King's Paradise' where he was before he crossed over was a utopia!

Lucien took a long breath and felt that he was almost adjusted before he turned around again and looked at Carly, waiting for her answer.

'I ... feel that it can be deconstructed by adding some special models ...' Carly's mind floated back to the time when that third-level sorcerer apprentice had cast the sorcery, and she was a little unsure when she uncertainly spoke.

Lucien looked at Carly and broke into a smile.

'Half correct. Normally, this kind of model structure topologised directly from a creature, transforming it into the sorcery we need requires three steps: topologising, simplifying, and transforming.'

'Normally, the deconstruction of the model within the bodies of these transcendental creatures would be relatively complex, which would ensure that their spellcasting organs could maintain stability for a long time. However, the mental deconstruction of our sorcerer's release doesn't need to be stable all the time, so these natural model patterns have quite a bit of redundancy for us that needs to be stripped away.'

'And after countless sorcerers' explorations, we have regularised, simplified, and categorized the natural patterns that we have already explored, and that has led to the formation of a special "rune", which is the origin of another basic discipline, Runesmithing... ...'

Lucien looked at Carly and with a wave of his hand, a visualization model made up of his spiritual power appeared in mid-air.

At first, this model was a topography of the lines at the throat of a rock fire lizard, but as it continued to be simplified, soon, it became three simple runes and some threads of mental power connecting these three sorcerer's runes.

'This is the simplest zero-order sorcery, a fire sorcery simplified from the natural spell patterns of a rock fire lizard.' Lucien smiled as he once again held a handful of sulphur powder, and with a slight explosion, the sorcery model once again transformed into a gelatinous mass floating in his hand. 'Name: blazing fire magic.'

A light shone in Carly's eyes at that moment.

[Your student, Carly, has respect for you, respect value +1]

Lucien nodded in satisfaction and looked toward Carly before pointing to the cage on the side. 'Now it's your turn.'

Carly froze, she looked at the finished product on the dissecting table, then looked at the live rock fire lizards in the cage, her mouth moved as if she wanted to say something.

'It's okay, let's take our time, I'll correct your wrong movements step by step.' Lucien looked at Carly at this moment, his heart was a little soft, but in the end, he hardened his heart and revealed a 'sunny' smile.

...

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

'Not bad.' Lucien looked at Carly, who still had some blood stains on her hands, but with anticipation written all over her small face, and gently nodded his head.

'Yay!' Carly cheered and jumped up gently.

These days, apart from meditating and doing puzzles, she spent almost all of her time with these hard lizards, and she was about to become numb to these 'lizard teachers'.

'Of course, there is one last thing.' Lucien smiled and placed a complete Pyroclastic Bag in Carrie's hands.

'Combine your research and cast your first sorcery.'

Carly looked at Lucien and nodded heavily.

She gently closed her eyes, but the deconstruction of the model that she had gradually simplified under Mentor Lucien's guidance these days emerged in her mind.

The mental power in her mind began to build, and through a special way, it linked the Fire Flame Bag in her hand.

The final mental power was stimulated!

Bang-

With a slight explosion, a small mass of sizzling gel with a flame-like glow appeared in Carly's small hand.

'I learned it! I learned it!' Carly was incomparably excited, knowing that Lucian didn't directly teach her spell deconstruction, but rather had her copy the natural patterns of the Rockfire Lizard over and over again and constantly simplify them.

And after such a process, Carly had a clearer idea about the construction of sorcery.

'Well done, then look at this, this is the sorcery model of the [Blazing Fire Art], compare your sorcery model with this standard model and get a good feel for it.' Lucien did not continue to praise Carly but instead threw the latter a crystal ball that recorded the sorcery model.

'Yes!' Carrie nodded heavily, and compared to how she looked when she had just enrolled in school, at this moment, she was clearly much more confident.

Having already understood the principles of sorcery, Carly mastered this sorcery very quickly, and in less than ten minutes, Carly returned the crystal ball to Lucien.

'Mentor Lucien, I have no more problems!' Carly slightly raised her head at this moment, with a look of 'Compliment me, quickly compliment me.'

[Your student Carly has learned the zero-level sorcery - Blazing Fire Art, congratulations on comprehending the Blazing Fire Art - Change!

At this moment, the system panel of Lucian's body also popped up with a reminder message. At the same time, in his mind, countless knowledge poured in, eventually constituting a new sorcery.

With a sweep of his mental power, Lucien quickly gained a rough understanding of the improved sorcery.

Just like the Grey Bone Meditation Thoughts - Changed to Grey Bone Meditation Thoughts, the improved sorcery had many similarities to the original, but more things had been added to make the sorcery model complex and at the same time, it also greatly increased the power of the sorcery.

Only how much the power had been increased, but Lucien needed to test it to know.

Thinking of this, Lucien couldn't help but looked at Carly on the side.

Although the little girl didn't say anything, her eyes were fluttering a little, as if she was eager to receive encouragement from Lucian.

'Well done.' Lucien naturally wouldn't discourage Carly's motivation, after all, letting Carrie branch out was much better than that unconfident look at the beginning.

Hearing the affirmation from Lucien, a contented smile appeared on Carly's face. 'Hehehe ...'

[Your student Carly has respect for you, respect value +5]

'However ...' Lucian looked at Carly, the corners of his mouth hooked and his words turned. 'Yet there is still a great deal of upside.'

Carrie froze, as she looked at Lucian with this calm and confident look, and in a trance, she seemed to see the way she looked when Lucien was teaching her to learn the Meditation Method.

'No ... it can't be?' Carrie couldn't help but give birth to a bold guess in her heart.

Tomorrow is the college entrance examination, wish the bookworms of this year's college entrance examination good luck!
