Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Spirit Core and Initial Magic

The next day at dinner.

Accompanied by soothing classical music, Anvis explained his condition to the duke.

At this moment, Duke Karlos was tasting an delicious Annie cake.

It was a shortcake with berries and layered in thick, sweet white cream and was piled neatly with fresh berries that were bright in color and had a fragrant smell. It gave off the unique scent of the whipped Wyvern egg white.

The pastry chef had perfectly combined the strengths of the three ingredients and baked this dessert that had a beautiful texture and appearance.

It was said that the dessert was created in the early days of the Magic Empire in order to celebrate the Fourth Princess Annie’s birthday.

The little princess was very satisfied after tasting it. When she asked for the name of the dessert, she heard that it was a new dessert without a name, so she named it after herself.

Karlos loved the crispy outer while the inner cake was also incredibly soft and fluffy. It always reminded him of his first encounter with Alina.

She was like the cake. with different sides to her. Her actions were elegant and neat, but she also had a cute and helpless side to her. She was sour yet sweet at the same time.

“You said that you’re ready to officially advance?”

After tasting another slice of Annie’s cake, the duke set down his fork and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. Then he looked up, his blue eyes focused on Anvis’smiling face, his expression slightly surprised.

Having two legendary bloodlines gave Anvis an extraordinary talent, but it also greatly slowed down his advancement speed.

It was very simple. To fill a cup and fill a water tank, the latter required far more water than the former.

“Yes, Father. I reached the limit of my spiritual power last night. Even if I don’t take the initiative to advance, I will naturally advance tonight at midnight.”

Smiling gracefully, Anvis reached for the tray of drinks in the maid’s hand and took a sip of a cup of Forest Dream.

This fruit juice looked like a light green fog that suffused a faint glow. It tasted fresh and sweet, like drinking a mouthful of flowing fog or a soft and cool cloud.

“Haha—Good! Very good!”

At Anvis’s answer, the duke was in a good mood for a moment. He couldn’t help but laugh, a laugh filled with the joy of a father hearing his child grow up.

Alina and Fiona looked at Anvis in surprise. The difference was that Alina was impressed by her son’s talent. Fiona was just happy that her brother was about to advance.

“However, since you are prepared to advance, how much do you know about the specific process of advancing to an official mage, as well as the concepts and choices of the initial foundational magic?”

With a smile, the duke’s face hardened, and he turned the conversation to the specifics of his advancement.

Hearing this, Elena and Fiona stopped what they were doing and looked up at them.

These two problems were very crucial. A fully prepared advancement was completely different from a rash advancement that would lead to the final achievements of the mage in the future.

Putting down the goblet in his hand, Anvis raised his white napkin and gently wiped the corner of his mouth, making his expression appear more relaxed and natural.

Then, he tidied up the contents of his memory. His sky-blue eyes stared at the duke as he narrated the answer he had thought of in a clear and slow tone.

“Basic Magic Theory once mentioned that there are two conditions to become an official mage.

One: Condense a spiritual power core.

Second, construct the foundational magic spells in the spiritual sea. ”

“After the spiritual power reaches a certain standard, the caster can use a point of the spiritual sea as the center to control their spiritual power to revolve around this center at a certain frequency, and constantly compress it with their thoughts.

When compressed to a certain extent, the spiritual power core would naturally form.

The stronger the caster’s spiritual power, the higher the chances of successfully condensing the core.

Otherwise, If the total amount of spiritual power reached the limit of the spiritual sea, the caster would also spontaneously condense the mental power core within 24 to 30 hours, which was also the first method of advancement for ancient mages.

However, during the Magic Empire’s reign, the mages had basically abandoned such advanced methods.

“The reason is that even though the total amount of spiritual strength is the same, the core formed naturally is generally inferior to the core condensed by the compression method.”

At this point, Anvis took a deep breath. He picked up his glass and took another sip of the refreshing cloud juice, moistening his dry throat.

“It’s like a newborn seeing this world for the first time. The moment the core is condensed, the caster will truly open the ‘eyes’ that belong to a mage, and for the first time, ‘see’ a more real world.

At this moment, the caster would temporarily enter a special state.

In this state, the foundational spell model built in the spiritual sea before the advancement would change in an unknown direction. This was the principle behind the formation of the foundational spell.

As the rank of the mage increased, the rank of the foundational spell would also increase, and more unknown changes would occur with each rank.

Due to the limitation of talent, the spiritual power of ordinary mages before they entered the ranks was only enough to construct the simplest spell structure.

The upper limit of the foundational spells was two. Even if one could construct more than two spells before the first rank, only the first two spells would have mutated.

“According to the statistics of the Council of Magic on the continent, due to the relatively simple structure of magic and the dazzling power after the mutation, Magic Missile and Fireball are two recognized spells that most people choose.”

Anvis finished the rest of the juice in his glass and placed the empty glass back on the tray.

“I’m done, Father.”

Lord Karlos nodded in satisfaction, approving of Anvis’s knowledge. Elena smiled with equal delight.

On the side, Fiona’s lake-like blue eyes stared blankly.

She had read Basic Magic before. It was filled with tiny words! There was not even a single illustration!

Brother could actually memorize that thick and boring book! Amazing!

“So, have you chosen the initial spell you want to build upon?”

The Duke nodded in satisfaction and looked at Anvis with relief.

“Yes, Father. I am currently preparing…”

“Oh—Anvis, why can’t you call me daddy more intimately like when you were younger? You can start to use the formal title in a few years time.”

Just as Anvis was about to say his choice, the duke interrupted him with a disgruntled tone, amusing Anvis.

“Dear Karlos ~ Why can’t you wait until our children are finished before you speak? Keep talking, my lovely little Anvis. Mama is listening.”

As what she wanted to hear was suddenly interrupted. The beautiful Duchess narrowed her eyes and gave the Duke a “gentle” smile.

Then, she turned her head again and looked at Anvis with encouragement and affection in her purple eyes.

Chilled by Elena’s words, the duke shrank his neck, picked up his knife and fork as if nothing had happened, divided the remaining cake on the plate, and swallowed his dessert.
