Chapter 32: Magic Power Soars Due To The Seniors’ Conversation!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Two days finally passed.
During these two days, Marcus had been practicing his magic.
However, the Lightning Tempest Spell's progress had only increased by 9.1%.
It was too slow.
Fortunately, Wendy finally had news.
"Mr. Marcus, the Wind Temple's two seniors have agreed."
"You can take the token and directly enter the temple to meet the two seniors."
Wendy gave Marcus a wind chime. This was the token.
"Thank you, Miss Wendy." Marcus took the wind chime and said, "This kind of thing cannot be delayed. I will head to the Wind Temple immediately."
Marcus did not delay at all. He directly left the Griffin family and rushed to the Wind Temple.
Although the Wind Temple was not outside the city, the building occupied a huge area and was in a remote place on the city's outskirts.
Of course, this remote place was just a location.
This place was not quiet at all. On the contrary, it was very lively.
When Marcus arrived there, he saw a large group of people walking around and lining up.
There was even a group of peddlers selling things outside the gate.
"So many people..." Marcus sighed.
Fortunately, he had the Griffin family's help. Otherwise, it would have been challenging to meet the senior wind mages.
Marcus went straight to the temple's entrance, but two guards stopped him.
"Sir, please take a number and line up."
"Hello. I'm here to meet Senior Gauss and Senior Jed." Marcus took out the wind chime and said to them, "This is a token."
The two guards looked at it carefully and then looked up at Marcus.
"It seems that you are Mr. Marcus that Miss Wendy vouched for."
"The two grand mages have been waiting for you in the temple."
"Sir, please follow me."
Thus, Marcus followed one of the guards and entered the Wind Temple.
The temple was extremely strict and quiet. This was in stark contrast to the scene outside the temple.
Just as they were walking along the path...
"Ah!"
Marcus and the guard heard a little girl scream behind them.
The two of them immediately turned around.
A small ball of wind suddenly flew toward Marcus.
The situation was extremely critical.
"Not good! I have to protect Mr. Marcus!"
The guard was far in front of Marcus when he cast a spell to protect him. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to intercept the ball of wind in such a short period.
The little girl was also stunned. She lay on the ground in a daze and thought, 'It's over, I'm going to get into big trouble! What should I do!? I only learned how to release the ball of wind. I didn't learn how to make it disappear!'
Just as the little girl and the guard felt that Marcus was about to be hit by the ball of wind…
Marcus calmly stared at the weak ball of wind and suddenly cast a wind blade at it as it was about to hit his face.
The two collided and disappeared.
The guard walked up to Marcus and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." After saying that, Marcus walked toward the little girl. "Did you cast the earlier Wind Ball Spell?"
"Y-yes..." The little girl said, "I'm responsible for what I did. I did it. I'm sorry, Mr. Mage! If you want me to compensate you, please say it!"
Marcus smiled when he heard this. He quickly waved his hand and said to her, "I'm fine. Why should you compensate me?"
"Eh?" The little girl said thoughtfully, "That's true... but I still feel a little..."
"Alright, just correct this mistake in the future." Marcus let the little girl look at him. "I'll show you how to manipulate the wind. You'll know how to use the Wind Ball Spell with a glance."
The guard was curious after hearing that.
'What's the strength of this guest?'
Marcus closed his eyes and took a breath. Then, he opened his eyes, waved his hand, and cast a Wind Blade Spell at the falling leaves under the tree in the distance.
Marcus' casting speed was very slow, but the wind blade flew extremely fast.
"So fast!? Such a swift wind blade!"
"How is this magic? Even sword aura can be used to aid it!?"
Just as the guard and little girl witnessed the leaves being cut by the wind blade, the two wind mages in the temple also came out of the temple.
They interrupted their shock.
"Nina, why aren't you practicing?"
"Master Gauss, I..."
The little girl bade farewell to Marcus before leaving in a hurry.
Upon seeing this, the guard bade farewell and left to guard the gate.
"Greetings, Senior Gauss and Senior Jed. I am Marcus."
Marcus bowed respectfully and then entered the temple with the two grand mages.
...
Marcus and the two old men sat on chairs.
The two grand mages had white hair and white eyebrows. Their faces were full of wrinkles, and they looked very old.
However, they were very energetic.
The air in the temple was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants. It was very easy to calm people's minds.
Marcus looked around and asked in puzzlement, "Senior, why is the Wind God's statue covered with a black cloth?"
"Because today is Friday. Every Friday, we will cover the Wind God's statue with black cloth. If you really want to see it, please come here tonight after midnight."
The other white-haired old man said with a smile, "Mr. Marcus, Miss Wendy has already informed us. You are also proficient in wind magic, so you want to exchange pointers with us."
"I dare not say that I am proficient." Marcus shook his head slightly. "I've only learned the Wind Blade Spell. I recently learned it and have encountered some difficulties. Thus, I would like to ask seniors to help me solve this problem."
"Oh? Wind Blade Spell? Please do tell."
Thus, Marcus began to talk about the difficulties he had encountered in practicing the Wind Blade Spell.
Before this, Marcus had been reading through magic books every day, but he had chanced upon the Wind Blade Spell's original text of the least.
Therefore, Marcus wanted to take this opportunity to discuss with the two experts in order to seek a breakthrough for the Wind Blade Spell and his various magic spells.
As time passed, the magic power in Marcus's body began to change.
[Your Wind Blade Spell was enlightened after listening to the seniors' explanation. It began to quietly practice!]
[Your Lightning Tempest Spell was enlightened after listening to the seniors' explanation. Practice speed increased by 100%. Current progress: 100%!]
[Lightning Tempest: Level-3, (Progress: 0%!]
Marcus began to comprehend his Wind Blade Spell and seek a breakthrough.
As for the Lightning Tempest Spell, he started to practice it with all his might and had already reached level-3!
However, the two seniors were ultimately due to their age.
After two to three hours of conversation, they were unable to hold on mentally.
Thus, Marcus bade farewell to the two seniors.
But Marcus didn't leave directly.
Instead, he stayed in the Wind Temple's backyard.
His Wind Blade Spell was on the verge of a breakthrough, so he couldn't leave no matter what!
If he could discuss with the two seniors every day, Marcus's various magic spells would advance by leaps and bounds.
Of course, Marcus couldn't miss such an opportunity.
Moreover, he would see the Wind God's statue tomorrow.
