Chapter 55: Interpreting the Scroll

Gao De shook his head and threw these random thoughts to the back of his mind.

He reached out and groped, taking the box containing Basic Mana Potion from the side of the wooden table.

Opened the box.

"Running out." Gao De looked at the three potion bottles neatly placed in the box, with only one left intact, and the other two were already empty bottles.

He took out the last bottle of Basic Mana Potion.

Looking at the crystalline medicinal liquid in the bottle, Gao De couldn't help but sigh, "The addictiveness of this thing is comparable to drugs..."

The amazing cultivation efficiency after taking Basic Mana Potion is addictive.

Accustomed to the feeling of high-efficiency and smooth cultivation after drinking potions, once you stop drinking potions, the cultivation method you were already accustomed to seems slow and stuttering, and it's uncomfortable no matter how you practice.

It is precisely that it is easy to go from luxury to frugality, but difficult to go from frugality to luxury.

Lightly pulled out the stopper, drank this bottle of Basic Mana Potion in one go, and only after confirming that not a drop was left did Gao De start today's cultivation.

After the "one section is better than six sections" "Southern Style" cultivation ended, Gao De didn't stand up immediately, but took the opportunity to start constructing the spell model.

Two days had passed since he purchased two new spell formulas.

For these two days, he had been constructing the spell model for 【Read Magic】, but his luck wasn't very good, and he hadn't succeeded for two consecutive days.

"If I could really complete the Psychic Potion recipe, with the help of the potion, I could master any cantrip within a day," Gao De muttered to himself.

Failing these two days, many times it was just a little bit short; if his mental control were a little stronger, he would have succeeded.

But even if there were twists and turns, he should be able to master 【Read Magic】 within these one or two days.

Thinking this way, Gao De had already begun to calm his mind and started attempting to construct the spell model in the sea of spell stars again.

Half an hour later.

Gao De opened his eyes abruptly, his gaze revealing a trace of faint joy.

He muttered in his heart.

"Feng Ling Yue Ying."

Immediately, the crude information interface floated in Gao De's consciousness.

In the spell column, a new entry had appeared after 【Detect Magic】: 【Read Magic】.

【Read Magic】 (Divination, Rank 0): You can interpret magical script on items: books, scrolls, weapons, etc., that cannot be interpreted in other ways; such interpretation usually does not release the magic contained in these scripts.

In addition, once you have cast this spell and interpreted a certain magical script, you can understand the same script later without having to ask for help from Read Magic again.

"Finally succeeded!" Gao De sighed.

He suppressed the excitement and urgency in his heart, opened his cabinet, took out the scroll left by Master Seda, and spread it flat on the table.

The scroll was covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand magical script.

The time and energy required to learn a language is unimaginable.

In his previous life, it often took many years to master a foreign language.

Fortunately, in this world, there exists supernatural power like magic that is difficult to explain.

Gao De's mind moved slightly, his magic power flowed, and a star track flashed across the spell model of 【Read Magic】 just constructed in the sea of spell stars.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and a kind of invisible magical fluctuation surged within them.

Gao De gently swiped his finger across the magical script on the scroll, while his eyes focused and followed the movement of his finger.

At this moment, language and script were no longer obstacles.

Although the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand magical script was still like ghost symbols in Gao De's eyes, the meaning behind each character was revealed one by one in his mind:

Ceris Mage Academy, I write this letter in the name of the tenth Dean of Ceris Mage Academy.

The intention is to recommend that the holder of this letter, regardless of their background, age, or previous experience, shall enjoy the supreme honor and privilege of entering this school directly, without going through any form of entrance examination.

This exception right is no small matter and is only reserved for those individuals and families who have demonstrated extraordinary potential or have made significant contributions or potential value to the Principality and the Academy, at extremely rare moments in the Academy's history. The holder of the letter, although not explicitly named here, has had their qualifications confirmed by me, and I grant this supreme recommendation.

I firmly believe that Ceris Mage Academy, as the most excellent mage academy in the Principality, has the ability and responsibility to open the door of knowledge and power for the holder of the letter.

Please, no matter what year the Academy Council receives this letter, be sure to accept this recommendation and give the holder of the letter the most noble reception and support, and arrange for them to enter the door of a senior tutor suitable for their talents and aspirations directly.

May the light of magic guide the path, and may wisdom and courage forever accompany the name of Ceris.

Jia Wen·Hoge 【Official Seal】 "This is..." Gao De was stunned.

The "true identity" of the scroll was completely beyond his expectations.

Before interpreting it, Gao De had many guesses about the scroll: it could be some incredible ancient secret, it could be treasure information, and he also guessed whether it was some potion recipe knowledge... he never thought it would be a recommendation letter.

No, it shouldn't be called a recommendation letter; a recommendation letter is a "recommendation," and according to the content of the text, it is much more than a "recommendation."

"Isn't this a qualification for recommended admission to graduate school?"

Gao De muttered.

He was familiar with this.

Regardless of background, age, or previous experience, it is even the most effective "qualification for recommended admission to graduate school."

"It's just that I don't know what level of mage academy this Ceris Mage Academy is, where it is located, and whether it still exists today?" Gao De pondered.

To be honest, he was tempted for a moment.

Having experienced the education of his previous life, Gao De knew incomparably well how important systematic basic learning is.

This is equivalent to the foundation of a ten-thousand-foot building.

The master leads you to the door, and cultivation depends on the individual.

True achievement is not taught, but the step of leading to the door is incomparably important.

It was just that after thinking about it, Gao De immediately recognized the reality.

Before this, he had never heard of the name "Ceris Mage Academy," which proved that this mage academy either no longer existed, or its location was far away from Hogen City.

If it was the former, then there was nothing to say.

If it was the latter, under the current circumstances, Gao De would not leave Hogen City and abandon the medicinal garden for this entrance qualification.

One is that he currently does not have the ability to travel long distances.

The second is that it is too irrational to abandon the industry he owns that is still operating reasonably well for a so-called "exemption recommendation letter."

Although the letter says "Please, no matter what year the Academy Council receives this letter, be sure to accept this recommendation," it is well known that if a death-exemption gold medal is smashed, it is smashed; you just have to kowtow to the ancestors' spirits.

Whether this kind of oath-like thing works depends entirely on luck.

The expected investment and the expected harvest are not proportional.

At least for now, this "exemption recommendation letter" has no great value to Gao De.

Gao De was a bit disappointed, but still put it away properly.

"Maybe it will be useful in the future?"

After all, the scroll clearly writes "regardless of background, age, or previous experience, all enjoy the supreme honor and privilege of entering this school directly."

"Find an opportunity to ask Pierre; he might know about this Ceris Mage Academy."

"After all, it was left by Master Seda; I think it is highly likely that it should be a mage academy in the Saint Xi En Principality." Gao De thought secretly.

The area of the Saint Xi En Principality is already large enough, and Gao De doesn't quite believe that Master Seda would hold a "exemption recommendation letter" from a mage academy in another country.

"However, if this Ceris Mage Academy is really a mage academy in the Saint Xi En Principality, why didn't Master Seda use this 'recommendation letter'?"

It was just that under this guess, new doubts appeared, making Gao De completely puzzled.
