German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 14 Limitations of Libraries
During this time, everyone else was busy going home, only Carl was wandering around, because there was a greedy Uncle Luma in his hometown, and he had lost his property and land.At present, the only place where he can stay is this single dormitory...

"It doesn't matter! I have to make good arrangements during the time I stay in school, and fully prepare for the content of the next semester." Carl tried to numb his nerves by repeating boring life.

The boring life didn't last long...

"Carl, your letter."

A veteran of the guard room came over, and he interrupted Karl who was training, with a letter in his hand.

Karl was puzzled, there should be no one who could write to him, right?Could it be that the godfather misses himself?

Until he looked at the sender—Maltida Heinm.

Karl recalled the intersection of himself and the girl. Martina was the dream lover of many boys. In fact, Karl avoided her on purpose, not wanting to get into trouble.The only contact was that time when I read the letter from her home.

Open the envelope and check, there is nothing astonishing in the content, nor the tenderness of a youth romance drama.

It said that when she got home, her mother told her that her brother had broken up with the girl, which shocked her too.Then there are some tedious inner dramas.

Carl is very speechless about girls' complicated thoughts, maybe girls of this age are like this.Putting the envelope in the backpack behind him, his task at this time is to finish training.

My own life is like this watch worth 28 marks in my hand, every gear is running according to strict regulations.But now there is one more thing,
That is to write a reply to Maltilda.

Campus life during the holidays was not as peaceful as Karl imagined, because Heidelberg is a famous historical and cultural city, an academic capital, and even an important military town.These have been mentioned before, and will be omitted.

Therefore, the Parisino Non-commissioned Officer Academy also undertakes the function of short-term training for non-commissioned officers.These advanced soldiers are all active-duty soldiers. They undergo a four-week advanced training through selection, and then they are promoted from ordinary soldiers to non-commissioned officers.

This is actually similar to those quick brushes, such as officer class, school officer class, general class...but they are lower-level, or lower-quality.

Smuggling alcohol is still a trivial matter, and a large number of people make noise in groups at night, which can be said to be a mountain cannon entering the city.Carl expressed his understanding, because all those who are capable have applied for the military academy, and most of the people who come here to study come from remote mountain villages, and they can be said to be rough.

Fortunately, the library belongs to a piece of pure land, and these people will not come to the library to make trouble, because they prefer to hang out in the pubs in downtown Heidelberg, forgetting about sage books and so on.

Carl took out the ladder to look for books on the bookshelf, and seemed to find a book that could be used,
"The theoretical research book on magic training is not bad."

Karl's only outstanding ability is his magical talent, so that he doesn't have to be cannon fodder, but can live longer as an elite.The most elite troops will be consumed at the end of the war, and Karl's goal is here.

I simply browsed through it, and there are many theories in it that are quite valuable. Karl needs to take them back and study them carefully.Take books to the front desk and ask.

"Sorry, this book cannot be taken out of the library." The librarian pointed to a blue seal of Albert with his index finger.

"What is this?" Xiaoka was a little confused.

"This seal means that they are restricted items and cannot be borrowed at will."

The administrator explained with a smile that he was willing to explain to an eight-year-old boy who didn't understand anything.

"Then I am reading here, can I take notes in the notebook?" Carl raised his head and looked at the administrator

After getting an affirmative reply from the administrator, Karl regarded this place as a resident copy.This also made him discover a point that he hadn't noticed before. Quite a few books on magic research are stamped. The previous three books were completely lucky.

Gradually, the two became acquainted, and Karl learned from his mouth why magic research books had such restrictions.

"Taboos", there are various "taboos" in this world, and the "taboos" of magic are the most.

From that period of darkness to the magic revolution until today, people's reliance on magic has shown polarized opinions.

Some people think that this is a gift from God. Magic has given humans the ability to develop and recognize the world, which is sacred and lucky.

Others think that this kind of thing is quite dangerous. Since the Dark Ages, thousands of people have died under magic. This dangerous power will plunge the world into chaos.

In fact, both are very reasonable, one adapts to the era, and the other exterminates the alien.This leads to a delicate balance for magic in any country.

If magic spreads too much, it will cause panic and confrontation. In addition, there are very few people with magical talents, so knowledge such as magic research is extremely strict.Except for specialized institutions and groups of magicians, the study of magic is strictly forbidden to ordinary people.

And there are only four schools in Heidelberg that have this kind of magic research books.The Parisino Sergeant Academy has a special training class for mages, so the library has such books.The other three schools are St. Phil's College, Imperial University and the Military Library of the Western Army.

"It seems that Mr. is very proud, that's great." Carl saw the expression on the librarian's face, which was a kind of pride from the heart.After all, in a sense, it is a very powerful thing to be tied with those three schools.

Although the holiday library is relatively deserted, of course, it is not so lively even if it is not a holiday.There is another person who frequents the library besides Carl Jr.

—Major Cary Siebel. (Old and bereaved children) Director of the Academic Affairs Office.

Since taking up the post of dean of academic affairs here, Major Hiber bought a property not far from the school.Because the Palisno Academy is in the suburbs, the house price is still acceptable.

(Due to the prosperity of Heidelberg and the three major colleges, housing prices are surprisingly high. As a major and dean of academic affairs, Siebel has to stay away.)
As a top student at the Berlin Military Academy, Major Hiber is keen on acquiring knowledge, which allows Karl to meet him often.

Although the books they read are all about history and philosophy, they are not considered "on the same road".However, he often met little Karl in the library, which made Major Hiber a little curious.

After a few conversations, the two seemed to have become friends.Whenever they have free time, they will stay in a remote part of the library and communicate for a while.

Through these contacts over time, Hiber also had some understanding of Karl.As a child from a small village, Karl was very unfamiliar with magic, so he tried his best to improve his knowledge of magic in related books.

A child with excellent talent and extremely low-key studious, Major Hiber was very happy, and told him a lot about his knowledge of army mages.By the way, it revealed a lot of training content and precautions for army mages.

It is worth mentioning that Major Siebel has a magic talent of 3 Bells, and is the most normal normal person.So I don't know much about magic research and the like, but I am still willing to provide some of my own insights.

Karl didn't care about these things. He paid more attention to Major Hiber's knowledge and training content than the pitiful mana value.Whether it was to please his superiors or to learn practical information, Carl Jr. was willing to talk to Major Hiber from the bottom of his heart.

"A spell..."

At this time, Karl was already lying on the bed in the dormitory, playing with crystals in his hands for magic exercises, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the previous conversation.

During the conversation, Major Hiber repeatedly mentioned a word - spell!
This thing is something that mages need to use repeatedly in combat, and it is also a decisive factor to measure the level of mages.

After the Magic Revolution, the previous chanting and drawing magic formations have long been eliminated, replaced by "spells", a more convenient...system.

For example, before the revolution, want to launch a fireball.Since each person has a different affinity for flames, each person's way of performing them is also very different, thus deriving the big fireball technique, fire dragon technique, continuous fireball technique...

But after the revolution, it was collectively referred to as "flame spells", and the method of use was to keep in mind the composition of the magic circle of the related spells, and then concentrate on using them.

The biggest breakthrough is that there is no attribute restriction, that is, no matter whether you have an affinity for a certain element, you can cast the corresponding "spell".
