Dear Broom Knight

Lowry smiled noncommittally.

In that instant, he suddenly understood why the math representative in his class could exude a presence of 1.8 meters despite being only 1.5 meters tall when handing out test papers.

Wasn't it just nine curves, three of them a little smaller, two medium-sized, and the rest a bit larger?

Wasn't that something obvious at a glance?

Of course, after that momentary confidence receded like a tide, Lowry also realized why Draconic runes were so easy for him to recognize.

He had a good memory, a barely adequate deep understanding of magic, and an acute sensitivity to curves and lines – Lowry had all of these.

Draconic magic, in reality, is closer to the essence of magic, directly reshaping the magical energy permeating the multiverse, fixing it into a new form of oscillation and rotation, and then manifesting it in a specific way in a specific area.

Therefore, their so-called runes are essentially using the inflections of sound to directly call upon magical energy to reshape magic.

Dragons don't need to consider any laws; they just grab a handful of energy and mold it according to their will.

Of course, they still have to learn fixed runes; they can't possibly improvise every time.

Besides, even for food that's just a few steps away, few dragons are willing to waste their energy to walk; how can you expect them to run back and forth?

But humans are different. Mortals have no way to directly summon primal energy, so they must weave a magical model to serve as a bridge connecting their consciousness with magical energy.

The more complex the magical model, the harder it is to remember, so it must be accompanied by complex incantations that can activate these runes, as well as casting gestures to coordinate with these spells… Once a magical model is carved in the mental sea, it becomes a fish of varying sizes in the sea, but if you want this fish to summon enough magical energy, you must use mental power to light up every node on the fish's body.

A one-syllable spell like Light is naturally easy to chant.

Although this fish is the most common and worthless kind, as long as you feed it enough mental power, even a small fish can grow into a mackerel.

As you become more proficient in mastering the incantation and become intimately familiar with the rune model in your mental sea, you can use a simple abbreviation combined with a simple gesture to manage this fish clearly and distinctly.

However, this places high demands on the mage's memory, mental power, and understanding of magic.

Although Lowry had never explored the limits of his memory, he knew that even if he couldn't achieve photographic memory, he could remember something perfectly after memorizing it two or three times, without any mistakes, just from the ease with which he could complete the study of fifth-circle spells.

And his mind was clear enough to allow him to gain a deeper understanding of magical runes.

However, although Lowry remembered these runes quickly, it wasn't that easy to learn them.

The most troublesome thing was that he couldn't directly read them out like Luskaniya… Those big and small curves were essentially the length and inflections of the dragon's roar.

Lowry slightly vibrated his throat and found that he could barely vibrate three tones.

Well, that was about the level of a fourth-circle spell.

And his common-language spells could actually release most fourth-circle spells with just a few phrases combined with a gesture.

He couldn't do fifth-circle spells yet. Except for air-based spells, the best he could do was to use a whole sentence, at least a dozen runes forming an incantation, and he had to use three gestures to coordinate.

The best way to learn any knowledge is to be able to read it and understand it yourself.

Relying entirely on memorization, especially memorizing graphic files, makes a big difference.

Lowry suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong? This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" Luskaniya asked curiously.

She didn't say that Lowry should be able to cast spells with Draconic runes right now; she was just comparing the common-language runes and engraving the corresponding Draconic runes on this magic circle.

If Lowry's previous design could allow this magic circle to resist experts below level 15, then changing it to Draconic runes would mean that even the impact of two level 16 white dragons wouldn't pose any danger to Lowry's castle.

Lowry smiled slightly: "I just realized that both mages and dragons need a long time and unremitting effort."

"Um…" Luskaniya hesitated for a few seconds and still said that she couldn't agree, "For dragons, time is never a problem!

So, there's no need to work so hard.

If there's something you particularly want but don't have the strength to get, just sleep for 500 years.

Either forget what you wanted before, or your strength will definitely improve a lot, and you might be able to try to snatch it back.

Effort is really useless.

Moreover, too much effort can easily make people excited, and excitement leads to mistakes.

The dead dragons are the most hardworking dragons, you know?

Back then, if I hadn't been forced to, I wouldn't have left White Dragon Valley before level 16!

If I hadn't met Travis, I guess I would have been caught by humans to be skinned and have my tendons drawn out before long.

But for dragons, what's the difference between dying after 50 years and dying after two years?

A nap and it's probably gone.

Dragons won't go out for effort, but they will definitely go out for treasure!

The most rational dragon is the one who can see his own powerlessness in the face of great temptation and choose to go home and sleep!

But there will never be a dragon with that ability who still chooses to stay at home!

Don't try to confuse concepts.

Besides, you're not sleeping at home, you're working hard!"

Lowry smiled helplessly… Luskaniya was even more sensitive than he thought.

But why is this sensitive point so strange?

He could only shake his head slightly: "Then, let time resolve the differences between us~

I'll go solve my magic circle first."

"Um hum~" Luskaniya made a satisfied humming sound, "Time will let you gradually understand what you really want!"

The distant future is still an unknown, but the cold winter has arrived as scheduled.

In the sky full of goose feather snow, Lowry stood quietly outside the Thousand Petal Lotus Hall.

The obvious footprints on the ice he was stepping on proved that he had been standing here for at least a dozen hours, but Lowry was just listening intently… Luskaniya didn't know why she gave up the roar she had just had and unexpectedly fell silent.

The originally pink and white Thousand Petal Lotus Hall was now covered with a layer of ice as thick as twenty meters, turning it into a huge crystal lotus.

The winter sun swept across the ice crystal petals, just like Lowry's uneasy heart.

The water of the Frozen Lake rippled fiercely, crushing the falling snowflakes viciously.

Boranios was pacing restlessly by the lake, and under his huge figure, the green lace vines were already slightly white.

Within the second ring under the control of Lowry's magic circle, from the library located on the north side of the castle to 500 meters below Mrs. Yagris' southern manor, from the orchard located on the west side of the castle to the garden on the east side, it was already empty.

Everyone was given a half-month vacation by Lowry.

Even Taylor and Cheska went to Green Maple Valley to reunite with Valera and Charles.

Lowry certainly trusted them, but Boranios and Luskaniya didn't.

At this moment, the White Dragon Lady was the most sensitive and could not stand any stimulation.

Maybe even a little human smell could make her irritable.

And Boranios, who had obviously almost lost his mind, would definitely kill all the appearances that made Luskaniya dissatisfied at the first moment Luskaniya shouted.

Lowry knew that if he himself stopped them in time, the two white dragons who were overly nervous could still restrain their irritability slightly.

But, how could he let his friends be affected by this little thing?

In any case, the feeling of a pregnant woman should be the highest priority.

And it wasn't like he couldn't do it.

Lowry even activated the highest level of defense in the magic circle.

This did reassure Luskaniya a lot.

So, now, the biggest unsettling factor has become the anxious Boranios.

He was originally lying outside the Thousand Petal Lotus Hall, but at that time Luskaniya was in the most irritable stage, so she directly ordered him to get out of here.

Boranios didn't dare to disobey Luskaniya's order, but he also really wanted to know Luskaniya's condition. Helpless, he could only mess around there himself.

Fortunately, the reason why Lowry chose snowfield lace vines among so many ice magic plants was because they were strong enough to withstand pressure.

They are powerful creatures that can withstand the pressure of 30 to 40 meters of ice mountains on their bodies, and slowly turn these ice mountains into their own nutrients, and finally bloom proudly in the cold wind. There is no need to worry about the dragon's weight at all.

Lowry, who didn't know what he could do, could only think wildly, suddenly raised his head: The ripples on the lake surface disappeared.

"Luskaniya! How are you?" he shouted with concern.

Then he felt a gust of wind roll past him, and the huge white figure slammed into the ice wall with a 'bang', causing the entire hall to shake heavily.

"Boranios!" Luskaniya's cold voice sounded, "Do you want to kill your own child?"

"Ah ah ah~ I'm sorry, Luskaniya, I really didn't mean to…" Boranios was anxious, "I'm just worried about you啊啊~"

"Worried about your egg, right?" Luskaniya's voice was full of anger, "Don't worry, be careful of your other eggs!

Lowry widened his eyes slightly and silently retreated backward.
