Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 41 Seventh Level Magician

Fenlai City's east main street, 'Champs Elysees Avenue', is bustling and noisy all day long, highlighting the extraordinaryness of the Holy City.

The avenue is paved with flat bluestone slabs, with a row of neat and tall cypress trees on both sides.

Ladies and young ladies are wearing trendy clothes, talking and laughing with each other and strolling on the street.

The window of a hotel room on the third floor next to the avenue is open, and you can have a panoramic view of the bustling and noisy scenery outside.

Rosen, who had put on the most popular aristocratic attire in Fenlai City, winked at several aristocratic ladies through the window.

After a while, he looked back and said with regret: "The noble lady from Fenlai City is more beautiful. If I had known, I should have asked my father to come here to the Warrior Academy. Alas, it is a waste of money to let a little one like you come here to enjoy the blessings."

Lu Jing couldn't do anything about this brother who had always been out of tune, and he didn't even bother to roll his eyes.

"Haha, with little Noah's incredible talent, if he is a few years older, he will definitely become a famous figure in Fenlai City. He will be more popular than you are in Otto City! Don't worry, with me taking care of you, you won't waste everything." A blond young man on the side laughed.

This blond young man looks to be about the same age as Rosen, but to be invited by Rosen to appear in this box, his status is certainly not ordinary.

His name is Bone Dawson.

He is a direct descendant of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, one of the four major chambers of commerce in Magnolia Continent. At a young age, he is the deputy general manager of the Holy Alliance affairs of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

As for why there are now four major chambers of commerce instead of three, Lu Jing can only explain that the times are different. In the more than 1000 years since Lin Lei was born, personnel changes, decline and rise, and anything can happen.

There were only four people in the box, the brothers Rosen and Lu Jing, the captain of the family guard, Calvin, and Bone Dawson. This also shows the close relationship between the Hyde family and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

Even Lu Jing was a little surprised.

The four of them had a great conversation. To be precise, the two romantic young men Rosen and Bone exchanged information about the noble ladies and ladies of the Kingdom of Finlay and the Kingdom of Otto.

After Bone left, Rosen looked at Lu Jing with complicated eyes and sighed.

"This time your kid made a scene that shocked the entire King Otto."

"Did your family reply to the letter? Is it such an exaggeration?" Lu Jing asked.

Rosen showed a hint of pride: "I just received a reply from Red Feather Eagle. Haha, I can't be overestimated as the number one genius in a thousand years rated by the Ernst Academy of Magic.

Grandpa wants you to study at the Ernst Academy of Magic with peace of mind. Don’t worry about anything else. If you need anything, just tell your family. Although our Hyde family is a family of warriors, the wealth accumulated over thousands of years is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. of. "

If Lu Jing only had magic talent, it would be impossible for the Hyde family to let him enter the magic academy.

If the talent was high enough to enter the Ernst Academy of Magic, even though the Hyde family would allow Lu Jing to follow the path of a magician, it would still be somewhat regretful.

After all, not all students at Ernst Magic Academy can practice to the level of a seventh-level magician.

Those at level seven and above are the real peaks of the pyramid in Yulan Continent.

But the magic talent is so high that it only happens once in a thousand years, which is extraordinary.

Historically, a genius with Lu Jing's talent could become at least a ninth-level great mage as long as he didn't die midway, and there were also many holy magisters.

Even if he is a ninth-level great mage, his status exceeds that of the current pillar of the Hyde family, Sigwell, the grandfather of brothers Rosen and Lu Jing. Any country or force in the Magnolia Continent will treat him with courtesy.

Thinking of this, the original emotion of a little envy and jealousy mixed with a strong sense of pride in Rosen's eyes immediately dissipated.

His carefree and flirtatious temperament instantly subsided, and his expression became solemn.

"Uncle Calvin will stay, and the family will send another team of elite guards. When I leave, I will leave the second volume of "Purple Flame Codex" to you. In addition, grandpa tells you not to leave Fenlai City unless it is absolutely necessary. , and you are not allowed to return to the Otto Kingdom without the consent of your family!"

Lu Jing frowned: "What danger will there be at home?"

Rosen said sternly: "You have been mature and steady since you were a child, and your mind is delicate. I believe you should be aware of some things.

The Hanmu family wants to obtain the throne. This is something that everyone in the upper echelons of the six kingdoms and fifteen principalities of the Holy Alliance knows! "

Lu Jingjing nodded. Although the adults in his family would not say anything about the kingdom's high-level officials in front of him, Lu Jing's mental power was incredibly strong and he could easily obtain a lot of information, but most of it was just gossip.

The Hanmu family is a great noble of the Otto Kingdom. A mithril mine was discovered in the fiefdom 200 years ago, and they became extremely wealthy. Their power began to expand rapidly, and they were also known as the 'Silver Mountain Family'.

The expansion of power and wealth also fueled the ambitions of the 'Yinshan Family'.

Rosen looked solemn: "So now the entire Otto Kingdom is divided into three forces, the royal family camp and the Hammu family camp. The third force is the bishops and priests of the Holy See in the Otto Kingdom, and our Hyde family is on the side of the royal camp. , Grandpa is the king’s assistant, so he is naturally regarded as a thorn in the side of the Han Mu family.”

"Shouldn't the Holy See support the royal family?" Lu Jing asked the doubts he had long had.

"Haha, you have to know that the supreme ruler of the entire Holy Alliance has always been the Holy See." Rosen's eyes were deep: "This means that whoever is close to the Holy See can gain favoritism and support."

“The ancestor of the Otto royal family is a powerful man from the Holy See, and only then can his descendants become the royal family of the kingdom, but now the royal family has no backing in the Holy See.

On the contrary, there is an ancestor of the Hanmu family who is a ninth-level great wizard of the light system. He is valued by the Holy See and is practicing hard on an overseas holy island. It is said that he has reached the peak of the ninth level. "

Lu Jing's heart froze. He didn't expect that his family's enemy had such a tough background?
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart that the Hyde family might as well decline like it did 1000 years later. He didn't expect the family to provide many resources.

"This is why the family sent you to Finlay City. It's not just you. Didn't you notice that other cousins ​​in the family rarely come to the manor to play with you in these years?

They have all been sent to other kingdoms, even countries outside the Holy Alliance. Once they fail, they cannot be caught in one fell swoop. They must always leave their blood to pass on. "

"Haha." Probably because he was afraid of scaring Lu Jing too much, Rosen showed a hint of arrogance: "There is no need to worry too much. Our Ziyan family has been inherited for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. We may be able to defeat us, but no one can be destroyed. us.

The Dawson Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with our family. In Finlay City, their power is not small. You also saw Bone just now. He is the deputy manager of the Holy Alliance Affairs of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. If you have any questions, just talk to him. Said, he can also protect you. "

While Lu Jing listened to Rosen's instructions, he calmly turned his head and looked in a distant direction outside the window.

"The Hanmu family..."...

Finlay City is a residential area several hundred meters away from the Champs Elysees Avenue.

A middle-aged man in civilian clothes shuddered and looked surprised: "Did he notice my prying eyes? No, it's impossible, it must be just a coincidence... I happened to turn around to admire the scenery and my eyes met... That's right. , that’s definitely the case.”

The middle-aged man who was in false alarm couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.

Even if he is a once-in-a-thousand-year-old magic genius, he is still just a child under ten years old. Why is he so indifferent?
Even an eighth-level warrior would not be able to detect his prying eyes. It is estimated that the mental power must be at least as strong as a seventh-level great magician or even stronger to be able to sense it.

Thinking of this, another layer of shadow fell over my heart.

"I didn't expect that the Hyde family could produce such a genius? Damn it, I'm afraid you're having a headache right now. If you give that kid a few decades, I'm afraid he can really become something..."

……

After bidding farewell to Rosen who was reluctant to leave and caressed his head several times before leaving, Lu Jing and Calvin returned to a mansion under the name of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in the East City.

After more than a month, Ernst Academy of Magic finally opened.

Although Lu Jing is already a well-known magic genius in Fenlai City, he does not make any ostentatious actions, and his personality is gentle and polite. He lives in seclusion every day, keeping a low profile in his dormitory, teachers, and library, and does not cause trouble.

Over time, although he was still a prominent figure, he was no longer so eye-catching.

Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye Lu Jing had been staying at Ernst College for a year and a half.

For more than a year, Lu Jing had been like a thirsty desert traveler, crazily absorbing the magician knowledge given by the library and teachers.

There was silence in the back hill of Ernst College.

Lu Jing sat cross-legged next to the stream and immersed himself in advanced meditation. The wind elements around him poured into his body from his limbs like a funnel.

If there were other magicians present, their eyes would probably pop out.

This is not at all the speed at which low-level magicians absorb the elements of heaven and earth.

Even if the elemental affinity is sky-high, it still needs mental power to sense, absorb and refine it.

Therefore, no matter how immersed Lu Jing is in his cultivation, he still has a trace of consciousness to pay careful attention to the surrounding environment. Once someone approaches, he will immediately slow down the speed of absorbing and refining the elements of heaven and earth.

A large amount of wind elements entered the body, and after being refined into magic power and stored in the 'Middle Dantian' in the center of the chest, it also slowly infiltrated and nourished the muscles, bones and even organs in the body, and the physical quality continued to improve.

This is also the reason why many high-level magicians have physical fitness comparable to that of fourth- and fifth-level warriors even if they do not practice fighting spirit.

Suddenly Lu Jing's spirit was shaken and he felt a sense of surprise.

“It’s finally time to break through.”

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"If I hadn't had to live in the dormitory and be busy with my studies, it would be difficult to spare much time to practice. I should have reached this point long ago..."

"Mimi~~"

The cyan magic power surged and rolled violently.

The mist-like cyan magic power that seemed to be able to burst the middle Dantian was compressed and liquefied into droplets during the surge, and the volume suddenly shrank.

After nearly an hour, the breakthrough was finally completed.

Lu Jing opened his eyes, unable to conceal his excitement: "I have finally entered the realm of a seventh-level great magician."

Although there is only one layer of difference between the peak level [-] and the beginning level [-], it takes a lot of effort.

Less than two years after entering Ernst Magic Academy, Lu Jing finally became a seventh-level magician.

If this were told, no one would believe it.

You must know that the number one person in the history of Magnolia Continent also became a seventh-level magician at the age of 16.

Lu Jing is less than nine years old now, although his physical development is comparable to that of a twelve or thirteen year old.

"If word of this gets out, I'm afraid I won't be praised as a genius, but as a monster..." Lu Jing muttered.

However, when Lu Jing reached the level of a seventh-level magician, it would not be as easy as before for Lu Jing to improve.

The magician's training speed is much slower than that of the warrior.

In addition to the accumulation of magic power that takes time, the most important thing is the improvement of mental power. The improvement of mental power is the most difficult.

Lin Lei was able to become a seventh-level magician at the age of 17, which was inseparable from the cheating enlightenment brought about by carving, which allowed his mental strength to increase tenfold overnight.

Lu Jing's trick was his already powerful mental power, which was at least comparable to that of a seventh-level magician.

Absorbing the elements of heaven and earth and refining them into magic power is as simple as drinking water.

Lu Jing thought deeply: "The next step is to strive to live away from school. It has been a year and a half, so it should be enough..."

If students of Ernst Academy of Magic want to apply to live away from school, they must reach the level of a fourth-level magician.

Reaching the fourth level of magic in one and a half years... the school teachers should... be able to accept it...
