West of eboden, the nine pointed star wizard tower.

The Midsummer Festival is approaching. On weekdays, there is peace and quiet, or there is a little commotion in the ancient castle like a pool of stagnant water, and the whole wizard tower has become much more lively.

This ancient festival can even be traced back to before the establishment of the Empire, and even the era of the origin of human civilization. It was born to celebrate the harvest. Businessmen will travel thousands of miles from the countryside, ordinary frugal families will also spend a small amount of savings on this day, and the nobles will indulge in endless banquets one after another.

From the first new moon in midsummer to the full 30 days before the next full moon, there will be countless Carnival activities, large and small activities and various performances throughout the streets of eboden. As one of the largest cities in the Empire, the Midsummer Festival of eboden will even attract the Lords of the surrounding principalities to watch the ceremony.

For the Wizards of the nine pointed star wizard tower, this year's Midsummer Festival is more special than in previous years - the Bellini family has announced that it will officially announce the research results of Alto Bellini to the whole eboden at this Midsummer Festival banquet, which can cure all diseases and even revive severed limbs!

Not only the apprentices, but also many wizards began to gather in a corner of the castle to discuss. Especially now that the festival is approaching, the Bellini family also began to distribute invitations to the banquet. Whether they can get an invitation has almost become a "sign" for wizards and apprentices to measure their respective.

Whenever an apprentice gets that precious "invitation" from the servants of the Bellini family as an "honor", he can immediately harvest countless envious, jealous and hateful eyes from around him, as if he were the winner of the laurel, and enjoy all kinds of prayers from people around him.

Of course, some "fanatical" apprentices plan to find another way to tentatively ask the servants who come to send invitations whether they still need some "waiters" - such as serving dishes, which would be better if they could be close to the banquet center.

... "ancient Rune classics? That's it!"

Peter FASA took the dusty old book from the bookshelf and piled it on the table with another pile of old books. His big round eyes looked at Loren across the desk and breathed a long sigh of relief: "this is all - if you don't count the ancient directors that have become fragments and the private collections of some Wizards."

"I'm really sorry. I need you to come and help me." the black haired wizard's face hung an invariable smile: "what can I thank you for?"

"Thank you? No, it's just a little effort!" Peter waved his hand with a completely childish smile. "Anyway, I'm too busy at the gate. I don't have anything to do. I'm just here to help!"

"Of course... If you insist." the young wizard's face suddenly turned red: "can you lend me your black feather eagle for a period of time? A day or a few quarters of an hour. Just look... Study it by the way, just a little! I won't move anything!"

"You're welcome." Loren's eyes slanted to the shelf beside the laboratory. Asriel's squeaky eyes widened, like a pet cat abandoned by his owner immediately, and then showed a considerate smile at Peter:

"No problem at all, as long as possible!"

"Thank you so much. I will repay you!" this is Peter FASA.

"It's so ruthless that I betrayed me for a little favor?!" this is Asriel.

Ignoring a "teenager" who screamed and was held aside by Peter FASA with a silly smile, Loren completely focused on the pile of old books in front of him and couldn't help sighing.

Just as at vimpal college, the only way to make progress in incantation is to look for all kinds of materials, examples and Ancient Runes.

The only difference is that I had Isaac Grantham's walking library at that time, but now I have to find it one by one - in order to improve the structure of the magic array.

If the casters in this world want to use high-level magic spells, there are two methods: the first is to completely engrave the magic spells in their own spiritual palace, which can be used at any time and place, greatly reducing the damage of void forces to the body. The disadvantage is that the space of the spiritual Palace is limited, and the engraving of magic spells will reduce the efficiency of meditation and emptiness.

The second is the ancient rune, that is, the use of magic spells by singing spells. The biggest advantage is that there is no upper limit of types. The disadvantage is that the spells are very long, and the void power will cause serious erosion to the body. At the same time, the power of magic spells will also be limited, which is very dull to use.

Of course, there is a third kind of self created magic spell. Like Loren's "Turin fire", this spell is completely a part of the spiritual hall. It is not only easy to control, but also has a lot of growth space. The disadvantage is that like the first kind, it will occupy the space of the spiritual hall.

If you make a comparison, the first kind seems to have completely learned the spell; The second is to explain the subject according to the book. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods are very obvious.

The magic array is between the first and the second. It is a product of "compromise". It also needs some space in the spiritual palace and can not change the shape of the spell itself; However, there is no need to chant a spell. At the same time, the magic array itself will increase the power of the spell and greatly reduce the invasion of void power.

What Loren has to do is find a balance between the two as much as possible - that is, reduce the space needed, but increase the efficiency of casting spells at the same time.

It's not an easy job, but it can increase your cards. It's also very cost-effective to use this reason to get in and out of the nine pointed star wizard tower and find all the information you need.

Plus a suitable identity, so that I can sneak into the Midsummer Festival banquet of the Bellini family... Of course, if I can really get an invitation.

"Have you heard about the Midsummer Festival banquet of the Bellini family?" Peter FASA, who was just playing with Asriel, suddenly turned his head and looked curiously: "mentor Baudelaire has got the invitation, but he doesn't seem to be going. What about you?"

"Me?" Loren stared and smiled. "I'm just a caster from a foreign country. They can't send an invitation to every wizard, can they?"

Peter FASA was stunned for a moment, then sighed wistfully, and his expression was dead gray:

"It's getting harder and harder for me to understand. It's unbearable for you geniuses to be modest - seriously, if you're not qualified to go, at least more than half of the witches in the whole spell school are not qualified!"

"But it seems that it is possible. After all, you made Lord vello Bellini lose so much face that day. He is not a broad-minded man, but also Alto Bellini's mentor. If he insists on opposing..."

While talking, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and a serious looking but simple young man came in with his hands behind his back: "is this your excellency ayin Rand's laboratory?"

Although it is a question, the tone alone has been extremely determined, which is an undeniable attitude.

"What can I do for you?" he got up without looking. The dark haired wizard came up to him: "I'm the person you're looking for."

"I'm here to deliver the invitation."

The expressionless servant handed Loren a well-made belief sealed with ribbon: "Miss Ariel corona of the corona family invites you to go to the theater in eboden tonight - although it's a little abrupt, please give an answer now. Do you accept the invitation?"

Ignoring Peter FASA, who was stunned behind him, looked at the invitation in his hand. Lauren's face was a little more like a smile, and took the envelope in his arms:

"It's really not a gentleman's job to refuse a lady's invitation, is it?"
