Celestial Mage

Chapter 19 Definitely repay your kindness!
"It's been three days, and the thief hasn't been found yet?"

When Xia Bolai asked this question, the two thick eyebrows on Xia Bolai's forehead were twisted into two barbs. It was obviously a very serious expression, but when paired with the two big eyes with soft curves below, it lost all momentum.

Lilith didn't dare to look at Xia Bolai's face, for fear of causing trouble for herself by laughing out loud.

To distract herself, she stared down at the pattern of the carpet.

"Cyrus is so cunning, he has cast a lot of fog along the way."

"Through the resonance of feather power, we can only confirm that he is still staying near White Horse Town, but it is difficult to find the exact location."

The barb on Xia Bolai's face became sharper: "He stole the feather, but still dares to hang around, what exactly is he trying to do?"

According to common sense, shouldn't he fly away immediately?
Lilith didn't speak, but turned to look at Rosen who was painting.

Xia Bolai immediately understood.

"Is it because of Rosen? Why? Even if his paintings can sell for money, it won't cost him his life, right?"

Lilith spread her hands: "From previous information, Cyrus is narrow-minded and has an extreme temperament."

"What he believes in, he will do to the end. Now, he probably believes in Rosen, so..."

Xia Bolai laughed angrily: "Ha~~ This thief is interesting!"

He pondered for a moment, then said to Lilith, "Go ahead and look for it. I'll just wait here! I want to see what tricks this thief can play!"

"Yes, Monsieur Chapple."

Lilith responded respectfully, and was about to leave the room.

"Wait, you can find me another strong bow, with a bow strength of at least 100 kilograms. Or a steel crossbow is also fine."

Lilith was startled: "Mr. Chapolet doesn't have a strong bow?"

Chapolei stared wide-eyed: "Which eye of yours saw me wearing a bow? Asshole?"

Lilith blushed with embarrassment at such a rude remark, and explained embarrassingly, "I thought you just didn't bring it with you."

Xia Bolai's complexion softened a little.

"I had a bow before. But buying the arrow requires money, and the string needs to be maintained. It's too troublesome, so I threw it away."

Lilith's face suddenly showed embarrassment: "No matter whether it is a strong bow or a steel crossbow, it is only possible in the army. It is more convenient for Mr. Chapolet to ask the baron for one."

"Looking for the baron? Forget it, I don't bother to owe that hypocrite for such a trivial matter."

"get out!"

It's just a low-level mage, even if he absorbs the power of Ash Feather, he has nothing to fear.

Lilith saluted again and exited the room lightly.

After she left, Xia Bolai calmed down completely, and asked, "Rosen, you said that Cyrus is your magic teacher, what did he teach you?"

Naturally, Rosen only picked the ones who could see the light and said, "I have taught you meditation and mage's hand, as well as some bits and pieces of general knowledge about spells."

In fact, he has not been idle for the past three days.

Taking advantage of the time to relieve his hands to visualize secretly, his mana has increased a little, and he has also mastered the new spell 'Fire Barrier'.

"Heh~~ I have taught you a lot."

Xia Bolai showed sarcasm, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Then have you learned the mage's hand?"

"I learned."

"How much have you learned?"

"Now I can pick up the teapot on the table."

In fact, it has been able to lift more than 40 kilograms of heavy objects and maintain it for 3 minutes.

"Empty or full?"

"full."

Rosen showed a little ability.

After getting along these few days, he has already understood.

Although Xia Bolai has eccentricities and looks ugly, he has an upright personality and is extremely confident, which is completely two extremes with Cyrus, who has a dark mind.

Even if he knows that he has excellent magic skills, he doesn't have to worry about causing trouble.

Of course, if the other party didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to say it.

Sure enough, Xia Bolai was shocked by his answer.

"After half a month of quiet meditation, you can lift a teapot full of water? You little guy is interesting!"

Although he is not a mage, he is a high-ranking warrior. He is a well-known figure in the entire northern border and has a wide range of knowledge.

As far as he knew, resting meditation was only for getting started, and the effect of improving mana was not obvious.

Ordinary spell apprentices usually have to meditate for one month before they can get started, and three months before they can feel clearly identifiable mana in their bodies.

And if you want to lift the full teapot on the table with the hands of a master, you need at least half a year of concentrated practice.

With only a few words of guidance, Rosen has reached this level in half a month, and the speed of progress is really amazing.

Xia Bolai looked at Luo Sen carefully, and thought to himself: "Could it be possible that I met a magical genius during my ordinary trip to Baima Town?"

But no matter how he looked at Rosen, he felt that this kid was a fool, and he didn't have the slightest resemblance to the young genius he had seen before.

"Didn't this kid tell me the truth?"

Thinking of this, his face darkened, and he stared at Rosen with big eyes: "Lawson, tell me the truth, what else have you learned?"

Rosen was secretly startled: "This guy has poisonous eyes, etc. No, he might be deceiving me."

Meditation on the creation singularity is naturally impossible, but general knowledge is no problem.

He immediately showed 'ashamedness', and he hesitated and said: "The instructor often flips through the spell books in front of me, and I peeked at some of the contents."

"you're lying!"

Xia Bolai chuckled, thinking he had seen through the other party's lies.

"Lilith told me, you can't read at all, how could you peek?"

Rosen shook his head again and again: "Actually, I can read. Although I don't know all the words, I can still understand simple content."

"Who taught you this?"

"Mr. Cyrus."

"Is he so kind?"

"I learned it secretly. When I first came to the Green Warbler Hotel, he read a copy of "Oil Painting Technique" in front of me. I learned it by referring to the words in the book."

Xia Bolai was even more shocked: "You can learn to recognize characters after reading a book once? Is this possible?"

Rosen looked 'perplexed': "What's the matter? Is it difficult?"

Xia Bolai subconsciously raised his finger and pointed at Rosen: "You, you... Do you really think this is easy?"

It took him several years to learn to read, and even now, his handwriting is still a mess.

"At least it's easier than oil painting. I've been painting this thing for more than half a month, and I still can't grasp some details well."

Rosen looked 'annoyed'.

'poof~~~'

Xia Bolai had an urge to vomit blood. If he hadn't seen Luo Sen's ability in oil painting with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there would be such a good brain in the world if he was killed!

But now he had to believe it.

He looked at Rosen carefully, up and down, left and right, wishing to see through his body and his soul.

He sighed again and again in his heart: "The God of Gold is on top, so that's what magic geniuses look like!"

Immediately afterwards, another burst of fire surged in his heart.

"Ah, madam has been worrying about not being able to find a good successor of spells. Isn't there a ready-made one right now?"

Originally, bringing Rosen back to Silvermoon Castle to learn spells was just to deal with some errands and exchange some beauties, but now, Xia Bolai began to really care about it.

When his agitated mind calmed down a bit, he hurriedly asked, "Then what did you see?"

"Sneak peek at advanced sun vision ideas. I meditate daily imagining the sun and feel my mana increase very quickly."

"Hmmm, although the concept of the sun is very common, it is indeed a very effective concept of the flame. That is to say, your mana has the polarity of flame?"

"Well, probably so."

He also couldn't tell if it was the polarity of fire, but he could only say that it was very similar.

This answer made Xia Bolai slightly disappointed, because his wife is a great moon magician, majoring in moon magic, and the mana polarity is 'exorcism silver moon'.

The mana of fire polarity is not suitable for learning the lady's spell.

But after thinking about it, Rosen only meditated for more than half a month, his magic power is not strong, and the fire polarity is not deeply involved, so there is every chance to change his practice.

He asked again, "Anything else?"

Rosen didn't hide it: "I strengthened the hand of the mage, and I can use this spell to throw things, such as throwing stones, which can be used to hit people."

"Throwing stones at people, haha, children only play like that."

Xia Bolai didn't care about this. The mage's hand was just like that, and it didn't have much power even if it was strengthened. Moreover, how deep a beginner's mana could be?

Guessing, it will only throw a dozen meters, and it will hurt a little when it hits someone's head.

"Is there any more?"

"No, that's all."

Xia Bolai estimated that it was almost the same, and said with a smile: "It took half a month to explore to this level, you are already very good."

"When we return to Silvermoon Castle, Madam will appreciate your talent very much, and maybe she will teach you personally."

"Really?" Rosen was a little happy in his heart, but he didn't have any expectations.

"I can't guarantee it, because I can't guess the mind of Da Yueshu, I can only say that there is this possibility."

After a pause, he continued: "By the way, from now on, Cyrus is no longer your mentor, but your enemy."

"This guy got the feather of the ember bird, but he still can't go away. I'm afraid he is going to take a risk. If he really does that, it will be really tricky."

Rosen's heart was dark, but his face was 'confused': "I don't understand."

"This matter is very complicated. You may not be able to understand it even if I explain it. I will teach you some common sense to protect your life. If you study hard, you may use it soon."

"I must study hard."

Xia Bolai pondered for a few seconds, then reached out his hand and took out a thin sheepskin book from his pocket. On the cover of the book was "A Brief Discussion on Spell Combat".

"This book was given to me by my wife. Although there are not many skills recorded in it, every point is very practical."

"Take it and read it. If you don't understand, ask me. Return it to me after reading it. Also, don't get the paint on the pages of the book."

"I remember."

Rosen took the booklet respectfully, carefully opened it and read it.

The first sentence reads: "A warrior and a mage have different paths, but their power comes from meditation. The former turns power into combat skills, while the latter turns it into spells."

The second sentence reads: "The power of any strong person has a limit. Once exhausted, he will be exhausted, confused, and even inferior to ordinary people."

The third sentence reads: "Any strong man has flaws. When he is caught unawares, a small poisonous dagger can end the mighty dragon."

After only reading three sentences, Rosen felt a sense of enlightenment, and most of the fear caused by ignorance had dissipated.

He looked at Xia Bolai and said sincerely: "Sir, thank you very much for your generosity. I owe you a great favor. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness with all my strength."

After hearing this, Xia Bolai laughed indifferently.

"There's no need to repay, just draw me some more beauties."
