Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 582 Necessary preparations before ritual magic
  "Thank you."

After taking the parchment and bowing seriously to thank him, Avis immediately came to the area where various auxiliary materials were placed and began to think about how to prepare for the next ritual magic.

Yes, although he had used this kind of purification and dispersion magic in the purification ceremony in Celia Town, he knew very well that the success of the magic at that time was due to the high-level purification stone provided by the senior Medicine Snow Lotus. Auxiliary.

Because the essence of that magic is actually to use the operation of the magic circle to crush the purification energy contained in those purification stones and guide that energy to flow into the right place at the right time to achieve the ultimate purification and dispersion effect.

The role he plays in it is to crush the purification stone and guide the purification power to flow into the appropriate place, rather than using his own magic level to purify.

Do you really need to temporarily conceive a magic that suits you and can achieve a purifying effect?

Recalling the complicated and uncertain methods described by senior Elliot, Avis couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth secretly, and his determination that had just been made up could not help but waver a little.

So if he doesn't adopt the strategy of temporarily constructing magic, what else can he use?
  Praying for a response from the magical element itself?
  This is a good idea, and it also meets the requirements of the word 'ritual', but in this way, the success of the magic depends on whether the magic element itself is willing to respond, rather than the user himself, which is also risky... …

Looking at the wall clock on the wall that was silently counting the time to prepare for the exam, and at the auxiliary materials in front of him that could help ritual magic succeed, Ives finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and picked up a Basket, start to choose materials that are conducive to improving the purification effect from those many materials.

First, consider the compatibility between herbs and magical elements.

The water element represents purification and dispersion, so herbs such as sunflower, miracle fruit, and rosemary that are used to enhance one's own energy can basically be excluded.

Marigolds, peony, and jasmine are more likely to clear away heat and relieve heat, which obviously do not meet his needs.

Then, you can only start with herbs that have a calming effect.

Of course, there are some naturally formed special magic crystals here, but after careful inspection, he found that the quality was very average. If you want to maximize the purification power inside, the level is obviously not enough.

Thinking of this, Avis couldn't help but take his eyes back from the magic crystals of different colors and sizes, and continued to select herbs and gems.

……

Two or three minutes later, Ives silently put the last piece of aquamarine into the basket, and then started processing the materials under the registration of the staff on the other side.

At this time, 5 minutes had passed since he had just gotten the parchment, and there were still 25 minutes before the end of preparation for the exam.

After looking at the materials in the basket that needed to be pounded into powder or cleaned, Ives immediately came to an empty table and processed the materials with the help of the utensils he had taken earlier.

During this process, he felt that there were new fluctuations of magic elements around him, and he knew that some of the candidates in the same batch had also begun to prepare their own ritual magic raw materials, but he was not affected and still carefully followed the previous instructions. The plan you make when selecting materials prepares your own materials step by step.

About 20 minutes later, Ives was satisfied and put away his analytical magic. He gently poured the powder made from blue gems into the empty bottle, and then bowed deeply to the two staff members in the examination preparation room.

After doing all this and carefully counting his materials, Ives took out the bottle containing gem powder, the magic scroll with the magic circle pattern engraved on it, and the flowers and herbs that had also been cleaned by his water magic. Reloaded the basket, turned the door handle and left the test preparation room...

[The next step is to adjust your mental state...]

He used a magic barrier to briefly create a quiet enough area around him. After confirming that the previous candidate had not finished the exam, Ives immediately readjusted his emotions and started taking deep breaths, trying to calm down his emotions.    …

At the same time, just as Ives began to calm down for his subsequent exams, the audience outside the examination room was not so calm.

"What's going on? It's been 25 minutes, why hasn't Mr. Water Begonia come out yet?"

Seeing another candidate who was not Water Begonia ascending to the core area of ​​the astrology platform, an audience member not too far away from Natalie and the others changed their sitting position slightly impatiently and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, I also heard that Master Maxwell was the first to complete the preparation for every exam before. Why is he so slow this time!"

After hearing the complaints from his companion, another magician who was a little impatient also echoed.

"Maybe it's just that Master Maxwell wasn't prepared enough..."

"How is it possible? Mr. Ives is not that kind of person!"

Another audience member also expressed his doubts, but before he finished speaking, a girl sitting nearby left her seat angrily and pulled her friends beside her to refute. .

"Then I would like to ask this lady, can you explain why Master Maxwell has not completed his preparations until now?"

After hearing the rebuttal of the girl who was obviously from the Water North District, the young man who finally expressed doubts immediately sneered and asked back without mercy.

"That's because Mr. Avis attaches great importance to this exam. As far as I know, formal ritual magic requires a lot of time to prepare. It is impossible to start so hastily!"

Seeing the condescending and contemptuous attitude of this resident of the East District of Wind, the girl only felt more and more unhappy and spoke back again.

Of course, considering that there were other candidates present here, she endured it, and finally did not say what she thought the previous candidates were too mediocre to say, and only retained the first half of the words.

"Attention? Humph, I see that other candidates have successfully completed the exam, which means that real ritual magic does not actually take that long to prepare!"

Noticing the movement here, another onlooker hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"I……"

The girl was about to say something to refute this guy who looked down upon their sage assistant in the North District of Water. At this time, the nearby crowd once again made a commotion.

As a result, everyone's attention was diverted again, and even Natalie behind them couldn't help but focus more on the direction of the crowd's commotion.

"Someone's ritual magic failed."

However, just when Natalie tried her best to look in the direction of the commotion and planned to cooperate with the [Voice Transmission] magic to understand the situation, she once again heard the voice of Qiaocelyn beside her, who took the initiative to explain...
