Volume 4 Chapter 58 - Phase Shifting Hurricane Array (1/2)

Four months had passed of year 3784 and even on the north of the continent, it was currently entering spring and the cold weather was leaving.

However, in the south Stantine Duchy, it was becoming a bit warm and dry.

The sweat flowed from Xu Yi’s forehead and condensed on his chin, falling down as drops of sweat. It fell bit by bit on the lab bench in front of him, creating a patch of sweat.

Evita on the side took a towel and cautiously helped him wipe off that sweat, as her eyes filled with worry and concern.

If it was normal, Xu Yi’s mind might wander from Evita’s actions, but currently he didn’t have any thought to spend on her. He was completely focused on the Magic Array on the bench, he wasn’t even blinking.

After looking at the Magic Array for a while, Xu Yi slowly reached out his hand and took the Magic Array materials that Evita had prepared.

When Xu Yi took this, he used his magic and instantly refined these materials. With the surging magic that came from him, there was a faint blue glow that appeared on the magic wand in his right hand.

Xu Yi’s hand came down and the glow touched the half finished Magic Array. The blue light flowed along every line and instantly lit up the entire Magic Array.

The wand moved along the Magic Array, creating a new line that continued to develop the Magic Array.

As Xu Yi’s hand kept moving, the lines of the Magic Array came out, making the Magic Array more and more complex.

Evita focused on watching Xu Yi as her heart filled with admiration.

Although this Wind Magic Array was only a Seventh Grade Array, so it wasn’t considered that high a level that even she could draw it at her level.

She definitely couldn’t move as smoothly as Xu Yi. He didn’t make a single mistake from the beginning and each line of the array was the same as the blueprint, without the slightest bit of deviation.

Moreover, from the magic that came from Xu Yi, his level of magic had already surpassed the normal Ninth Grade Magician.

Even if Great Magician Camilla said that he wasn’t at the level of a Great Magician, Evita thought that he wasn’t far.

Xu Yi wasn’t even thirty five this year, so at the rate of his improvement, there was no problem with him becoming a Great Magician before he turned forty.

To Evita’s knowledge, in the history of the Sines Continent, there had never been a magician who became a Great Magician before forty.

If Xu Yi really became a Great Magician before turning forty, he would be making history.

Not to mention that Xu Yi had never spent all his time on studying magic. Rather he only spent a bit of time on it, so little that even Evita felt it wasn’t right.

But even like this, his magic level was increasing this quickly.

It had to be said, this was a difference in talent.

But Evita also admitted that studying magic machines was actually very good for increasing knowledge towards magic.

Not mentioning the researchers, just Evita herself.

She was only a Fourth Grade Magician when she joined the magic research facility.

And now that she had been here for three years, she was already close to becoming a Seventh Grade Magician.

She was certain that even if she spent all her efforts and time into studying magic, she wouldn’t have been this fast.

Evita didn’t understand why this was, but a talk with Xu Yi had answered her doubts.

Xu Yi told her that in truth, magic in the end was just magicians using magic to combine magic elemental energy.

Studying magic machines meant needing finesse, logical thinking, and awareness of spatial structures. If one could grasp these, they would be able to combine the appropriate magic elemental energy and it would be easier to create spells.

Evita had thought through Xu Yi’s words and found that this explanation seemed correct.

When studying magic machines, she found that she had learned these strange things from Xu Yi.

This not only included aerodynamics, high level algebra, and basic physics that she learned when she was studying the Magic Airship, she found that she had also learned logical inference and reverse thinking which helped increase one’s thinking process.

As she studied magic machines, Evita felt that it was easier for her to study magic compared to before.
