Chapter 42: Ten Thousand Times Magic Power?

In the library.

The noon sunlight fell on the thick notebook in Xia Mingyu's hand through the stained-glass window. He opened it gently, revealing hundreds of obscure and complicated black patterns.

These patterns were all magic patterns he copied in two days using a quill made of crow hair.

And not only could he write them, but he could also accurately and quickly write them down in Lise's hundreds of random questions.

There was no connection between the magic pattern designs, so the difficulty was no less than letting a person from Blue Star learn English, French, Russian, and Japanese at the same time in one day...

And according to Lise, many mages would carry a thick "Encyclopedia of Magic Patterns" with them, because they would also forget the writing of a certain magic pattern from time to time.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder Lise was beaten into a repeater. If she were in his shoes, she would definitely have had a mental breakdown.

"Language Comprehension... sorry, 1.4 Billion, I underestimated you."

Xia Mingyu apologized silently to his identity protection while flipping through the fruits of his labor over the past two days.

When learning magic patterns, his feeling was simply as if he had divine help. He could remember them in his heart after reading them two or three times. As for the problem of writing, he, a hand-disabled person, directly let his fingers move by themselves by letting his mind wander.

Now he finally had the answer to that question.

1.4 Billion + College Student = AlphaGo of the magic world.

"Lise, is the next step for me to learn to write in the void with magic power?"

Xia Mingyu asked the girl beside him who was still repeating "I am so failed," as if she had turned into a gray-white color.

"Yes, Your Highness. As long as you can learn to write in the void, and then overlap magic patterns to release magic tricks, you will be enough to promote to an Illusionist..."

Lise, who had come back to her senses, replied listlessly.

She was exhausted and just wanted to return to her room, hide in the quilt, and have a good cry.

So, her so-called unprecedented magic talent was all a lie?

Teacher, you lied to me!

"But the most important problem is that your magic power, Your Highness, is still far from the standard for writing in the void."

Lise said while trying to cheer herself up, extending her finger wrapped in white light to write in the air.

*Swish, swish, swish! *

Accompanied by the sound of magic power writing like paper being cut, a complicated pattern emitting white light appeared in the air—the basic magic pattern "Water."

After drawing, Lise poked her fingertip lightly, and the pattern turned into a clear stream of water, then fell freely downward.

*Bang! *

There was a water stain on the floor.

"Please try it," Lise said softly.

This guy, it's fortunate that I don't have to mop the floor...

Xia Mingyu muttered to himself while condensing blank magic power at his fingertip and began to write.

*Swish, swish! *

After a few sounds, the "Water Lord Mo Wen" was only completed by a tiny fraction, and Xia Mingyu could no longer write it.

Without it, the white light at his fingertip had completely dissipated, and he even felt a wave of dizziness in his head, having the illusion of playing games for several hours after staying up late.

"Your Highness, Great Mage Bai Esi once said that magic power is also a manifestation of life force. Once magic power is exhausted, it will also bring a burden to the body," Lise explained.

"Is my current magic power not even one-tenth of drawing a basic magic pattern?" Xia Mingyu asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, you have only meditated for two days. Having your current magic power can already be called rapid progress," Lise said with a wry smile.

A trace of bitterness rose on her exquisite face.

Such a meditation speed for magic power was already a bit faster than hers.

I don't know why, but hearing His Highness say this, she always felt very uncomfortable, and even wanted to be angry at His Highness.

Fortunately, she was still rational. She was just a weak, helpless, and pitiful little girl. Where could she afford to provoke the heir to the 1.4 billion citizen kingdom who was high above?

"By the way, Lise, about how many times is your magic power compared to mine?" Xia Mingyu suddenly became curious about the girl's magic power.

Lise thought for a while and extended a jade-white finger.

"One hundred times?" Xia Mingyu asked tentatively.

Lise shook her head.

"One thousand times?" Xia Mingyu's pupils shrank suddenly.

Lise shook her head again.

"Ten thousand times!" Xia Mingyu shouted in shock.

"En... it could also be eleven thousand or twelve thousand times," Lise said uncertainly.

"My god, then how long will I have to meditate to become an Illusionist!"

Xia Mingyu lay on the wooden floor, doubting life.

If the meditation speed doesn't change, calculating this way, does he have to meditate for ten thousand days, which is nearly twenty-seven years, to achieve the status of an Illusionist?

He thought he had cheated and could release magic at will, becoming a mage in three days, a magic god in five days, and throwing forbidden spells at will in ten days.

"Ah, His Highness seems to have misunderstood," Lise thought.

Although she was still an Illusionist in rank, her magic power had long since surpassed that of a Mage of the Morning Star rank.

Looking at the black-haired young man's lost look, Lise was about to explain, but suddenly remembered the blow she had received earlier.

The girl silently closed her mouth.

It's better to let His Highness feel uncomfortable for an hour... oh no, ten minutes. This is her small revenge as a weakling.

A moment later, Xia Mingyu, who had cleared up the misunderstanding, let out a long sigh of relief.

According to Lise's view, he only needed to meditate with the Moonlight Meditation Technique for about two more months to accumulate enough magic power to promote to an Illusionist.

"Lise, is there any way to quickly increase magic power?"

Although his current magic power increase speed was already very fast in this world, Xia Mingyu was still unsatisfied, because in this dangerous world, except for the "common sense" he had already acquired, power was undoubtedly the most important thing.

"Yes, one is the natural growth of magic power accompanying physical development, but Your Highness, you can no longer rely on this method," Lise said, looking at Xia Mingyu's tall figure.

"There is also relying on auxiliary things like potions and magic crystals, but these things are not only expensive, but almost priceless. Once they enter the market, they will be bought quickly."

Xia Mingyu almost understood. One is innate advantage, and the other is acquired krypton gold, but in his current situation, these two methods were obviously unusable.

*Da, da, da. *

At this moment, the oak door of the library was gently knocked.

"Your Highness, I'm here to deliver your meal," Anliya's gentle voice came from outside the door.

A moment later.

Xia Mingyu and Lise enjoyed the food sent by Anliya together.

The girl sent a pure white mushroom soup today, made by stewing wild mushrooms with cream and a little emerald green parsley.

The taste of the mushroom soup was mellow and not greasy, extremely delicious. Xia Mingyu drank three bowls in a row before he could stop.
