What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 13 Apprenticeship
After listening to Roman's words, Colin's first reaction was not surprise or excitement, but deep doubts. After all, he was overwhelmed by a discovery of magic patterns just now, and when will this old man come to his side? He doesn't even know.

But it wasn't until he regrouped the words "Romain Sagan" and "disciple" in his head that he realized what had happened.

Roman Sagan wants to accept himself as a disciple?
Shouldn't it be Prince?
Colin, who has always been cautious, still suspects that this is a prank.

But when he was awakened by the movement behind him, he turned around and saw Donald Gall who was shocked with some joy, Prince who was angry with resentful eyes, and who was trying to pretend to be calm but could not help but smile slightly. Old Joe, who was trembling, realized that this should not be a joke when he saw Anne Heckert, whose mouth was wider than his face.

But wait for him to react.

The body was suddenly lifted by a gentle force, and flew in one direction.

As if riding a roller coaster, the huge wind and waves cut his face, and the weightlessness from time to time made him almost scream out loud. His eyes that could not be opened and ears filled with wind made him completely unable to receive information from the outside world.

After an unknown amount of time, Colin found himself in a ridiculously large room.

There are no windows in the room, and even the location of the door is unclear.

The four walls are filled with densely packed words and patterns.

Under the illumination of a light-like gemstone on the roof, it can be seen that these are all kinds of magic lines and reasoning calculations.

The old man who called himself Roman Sagan stepped out of the darkness and said in a serious voice that was completely different from before:
"4 years ago, Elf Elder Orianna understood the relationship between water elements and natural magic from the revelation of the Mother Tree of Life, and since then the Elf family has obtained druids;

"Twenty-five thousand years ago, a corpse that had been buried for thousands of years came out of the tomb. Since then, humans have slowly studied the relationship between unearthed elements and undead spells.

"1 years ago, a magician who was on the verge of death accidentally discovered the connection between the fire element and the magic of light, he was brought back to life in an instant, and then established the Church of the Holy Light, which has not completely perished until today.

"Among the four basic elements, water, earth, and fire have all been proven to have their advanced magic, but the wind element still has no clues. Although it has been speculated for a long time that the wind element has some connection with space magic, but Until 1500 years ago, Sir Laxili perfected the basic logic of most space magic in "23 Conjectures on α Surface Domain", but still could not find any connection between the two, making space magic still only exist in In theory, it’s like a castle in the air.”

The more Colin listened, the more fascinated he became.

And the last words of Roman Sagan also confirmed that what Annie heard from the magician was correct - there is no real space magic in this world.

Roman turned his eyes and looked at Colin firmly: "Tell me, what conclusion did you draw from the calculation just now?"

Ke Lin almost blurted out: "The positive value part of the single round function and the basic calculation module of the three-level score are almost the same in the three-dimensional system."

"What does that mean?" Roman asked.

"This means..." Colin swallowed hard, and continued: "There are... many similarities in the underlying logic of wind magic and space magic."

"You are too cautious." Roman laughed: "If Lobrassy's law is introduced as a reference, it can be proved that there is a certain mapping relationship between the two."

"Yes." Colin couldn't deny it.

Roman Sagan suddenly let out a long sigh, and pointed to the dense calculation process on a wall.

"These are the certification processes I completed when I was 50 years old, and it took a total of 32 years."

Roman looked at Colin: "Tell me, Colin Wayne, how long did it take you to reach the final conclusion?"

I?
Colin was taken aback.

If it is only counted after the crossing, it is only a few days, but there is no doubt that the importance of Colin Wayne's basic study in the previous year cannot be ignored.

He knew very well that Roman didn't really want to know the answer, but felt that his talent was outstanding.

While brainstorming, Colin bowed slightly to Roman Sagan:

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

It wasn't exactly a compliment, either, given the magic fountain and Roman's subsequent questioning.

Roman was obviously stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud:

"I have to admit, this is the most comfortable flattery I've heard in nearly a hundred years."

The 96-year-old old magister looked at Colin again, and asked solemnly and expectantly: "So, would you like to be the giant's disciple and complete that great and arduous task with him?"

Hearing this question again, Colin no longer had the doubts he had before, and was replaced by a surprise that was so strong that it almost burst through his chest.

As a time traveler, he was not surprised that he would become the protagonist of this era, but it was not in his plan that things happened so quickly.

But is it possible to refuse this kind of thing?
Colin recalled all the etiquettes he knew, but found that none of them were suitable for the current occasion. In the end, he could only stand upright in a well-behaved manner, and replied solemnly:
"I do, teacher."

"well."

Roman smiled and stroked his beard, took out a pipe from nowhere, and took a puff, as if trying to digest the joy in front of him.

After a long while, he said again: "This is my mage tower. I also have a disciple named Tessa. You should rest for a night first, and let her take you around to familiarize yourself with the environment here tomorrow."

Ke Lin recalled Roy's comment on another disciple of Roman Sagan, and his elegant temperament, beauty and tranquility, and was a little curious, but he still said:

"Teacher, can I stay here for a while, I still have some questions about the previous proof process."

"of course."

Roman nodded slightly in satisfaction, and urged:

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time, but the most important thing for you now is to study magic theory systematically. We still have enough time, so there is no need to rush."

"I understand." Colin was taught humbly.

"Look for yourself, remember not to miss the dinner time." Roman turned and left after speaking, without delay.

Colin memorized the location of the door, and then looked back to the lower part of one of the walls.

There is the last part of Romain Sagan's handwriting, mostly conclusive summaries.

Ke Lin looked at the past word by word, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he traced back to the calculation process. At first, he was far away, and after a while, he was almost lying on the wall. I don't know, so I have to guess.

Be sure to bring a ladder in next time.
