The Eternal In The Magic World
Chapter 4: No Talent but I Have Time
On the way home, Harold looked at the Silver Moon in the sky, the passing carriages, and the poor people in linen clothes. Only then did he realize that everything had changed.
“Do not be rash. We'll talk about other things when we're strong enough, ” Harold murmured while looking towards the silvery moonlight.
He had not forgotten that there was an incredible power in this world.
Soon, Harold returned home and lit an oil lamp filled with animal fat.
These are the oil lamps commonly used in this world. Not only is it bad for the eyes, but it is also accompanied by a strange choking odor. It is usually used by the poor.
However, he doesn't care about that. Under the dim light, he impatiently took out his note.
Looking at the silver-eyed book, Harold's emotions surged.
Who doesn't fantasize about mastering magical powers when they're young? It was just that the reality of his previous life did not allow it. But now, the real opportunity to master magic was placed in front of Harold, so how could he not be excited?
He opened the book.
He passed the meaningless rant from the original author, Saleen Metatrin, and arrived at the page of meditation techniques.
According to the records, Magicians and Knights were completely different. Knights relied on their physical bodies, while Magicians relied on their mental strength to interfere with reality. Natural meditation techniques increase mental strength.
As for the Mage's meditation method, it uses the Mage's mental strength to come into contact with the elemental world and then combines it with the elements to achieve the goal of increasing mental strength.
The process was simple, and all Harold had to do was complete the first step, which was to sense the elemental world.
As long as one could sense the elemental world and complete one's first complete meditation, one could be considered a novice mage apprentice or a Level-1 mage.
This process is very difficult but also very simple. I write this novel
According to what Saleen Metatrin said, the duration of witch training can be as short as a few days to half a month or as long as one to two months. Its duration will not be too long, and at most it will not exceed four months.
“I wonder how talented I am.” Harold was a little curious, hoping everything went according to plan.
His meditation method was not too long, and Harold quickly memorized it. Closing his notebook, he read it twice to make sure that he didn't forget anything. Then, Harold took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and prepared to begin his first meditation.
Two hours later.
Harold slowly opened his eyes.
He has failed.
For two whole hours, he tried to sense the elemental realm, but he could not feel anything. There was only a faint feeling, but he could not catch it.
The record had described this situation before, and it was normal.
All he had to do was turn that trail into a real entity within two months. From there, he could actually sense the elemental realm and step into the extraordinary realm.
Feeling the elemental world was part of Harold's plan. After all, even if he was the best talent, it was impossible for him to succeed on his first try. Harold also understood that his talent might not be that good.
Harold was not discouraged by his first failure, but after a while, he closed his eyes again and began his second devotional.
Results clear. The second attempt failed.
Observing the sky through the window, Harold knew it was getting late, so he hid the book and went to sleep.
It was the first day Harold arrived in this world.
‘I hope I can become a Level-1 magician as soon as possible.’
Before going to bed, Harold thought.
…
Two months later.
“Sial, I failed again.”
It had been two months since Harold's first meditation. He gradually adapted to life here, to a path full of dirt and rubbish, to hard black bread, and to work in the library.
During this period of time, Harold remained in meditation every day while learning the relevant knowledge to work hard for the upcoming exams.
Even though he was comfortable with himself, he was still much worse off than those who had learned from young. In the past two months, Kart has changed his work area, so Harold has rarely seen him, and he is very happy about it.
Of course, the most important thing was the advancement to breaking through Level-1 mages.
He was still stuck on the first step.
Thas right. He had yet to sense the existence of the elemental realm.
Harold initially thought that his talent might not be considered good, but it shouldn't be bad either, but reality told him that his talent should be at the very bottom.
“With my current speed, I'm afraid I should find another way out in a month.” Harold frowned and thought.
Being a librarian is undoubtedly a good job. If he left, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get a job with a good environment and a good salary in a short period of time.
The other option was to do manual work, which was something Harold was unwilling to accept.
Fortunately, the book provides a solution.
Harold took out a hidden notebook from the indentation on the wooden bed on the wall and opened it.
The book was very thick, and the paper was very hard. It was about a hundred pages long. Harold started flipping through it, and his strong memory allowed him to find the page he wanted to see.
“Destroy white curly flowers. The smell can help you feel the natural elements!”
White curly flowers are a valuable medicinal ingredient. For Knights, it was very effective in healing wounds, but for Mages, it was one of the important ways to feel the elemental realm at an early stage.
The reason why he had not bought it before was because he was too poor. He happened to receive his salary a few days ago, and a man gave him a tip a few days ago, which made him think of this method.
In fact, it is not a big problem that his meditation is slow.
After all, he is immortal.
As long as he continued to meditate, one day he would be able to feel the elemental realm. This was not a problem as he had never heard of an apprentice who could not even sense the elemental realm.
Harold was not too worried about his slow progress. Although he was not very talented, as long as he meditated, his spiritual power would always increase, and he would eventually reach that limit.
Although this time it could be 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, or even 100 years.
He doesn't care about any of that. After all, as long as he could advance, time was not a problem for him. Mortal species are always in a hurry, and their short lifespan is an important reason. But for him, it was just the opposite. This was also why Harold had established a common route to advance by farming.
It may not be interesting enough, but it's the path that suits him best.
The only obstacle on this path was to find a place where he could farm quietly.
Harold has chosen a library.
This was also the reason why Harold was a little anxious.
He has no choice. If she wants “bani” safely, she should have ‘ladang’ first!
The library is not bad. Not only were there many books for him to read, but the place was not as simple as it seemed. The head of the library is said to have a close relationship with the Emperor.
“So, first of all I will buy some white curly flowers and progress to the internship. Then, I will study Quick Memory and pass the exam. And then, I'll stay in the library until I can't.”
Harold detailed what to do next and immediately took out all his belongings from the groove.
Two silver tarls and thirty-four copper tarls.
This was only because he had been saving his salary for the past two months.
“I'm poor!” Harold sighed. He did not know exactly the price of the white curly flower, but he knew it was not cheap.
