Chapter 866 Magic Apprentice
The ultimate secret of the "Children of the Rock" that Rick possessed was actually the ultimate simplification of summoning magic, omitting all the cumbersome rituals such as spells, drumbeats, and sacrifices that were originally required, and using faith as a bridge to achieve the proactive leap and arrival of the superior.

In layman's terms, it means making a certain soul at your destination your follower; that is the only condition for achieving the leap.

Souls that are suffering or dying are most likely to take advantage of a vulnerable situation, such as the frozen Cold Plains people in front of us.

...

Milo originally thought his first stop would be the Eastern Conference penalty area.

But it seems that the survivors there are still tough on the bones, and no suitable candidates have emerged as summoners in the short term.

So we arrived at Yilan, or more precisely, the vast western Gobi Desert where Yilan is located.

“Daisy said Kay is in this city, a city created by powerful dream weavers. You should have a way to deal with it, right?”

Milo patted the petite Enid hanging from his waist.

……

...

The Thousand Pillars of Ilan.

Magic Academy.

The walls on both sides of the corridor here are adorned with portraits of magic scholars from various dynasties.

Teachers and students dressed in magical robes walked back and forth in the corridor, carrying books.

In a classroom at the far end of the corridor, the last class of the morning had just ended, and the apprentices rose to say goodbye to their mentors and leave.

Only one girl with long, gray hair was stopped by the teacher just as she was about to leave the classroom.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Oh."

The white-haired girl is Kai.

The skinny child that Milo and Rebecca picked up from the town of Ickham years ago has now grown into a beautiful young woman, almost as tall as Milo.

...

The professor sitting on the podium, leaning back in his chair, was a middle-aged man with a large bald head.

He called Kai over, but his gaze remained fixed on the book in his hands.

"I had to talk my ass off to get you out of solitary confinement. If you run off to climb over the city wall again on the very first day you're released, I'll be the one fighting with you for cockroaches to eat next time in solitary confinement."

"I didn't eat cockroaches." Kai held his books, staring down at the floor.

The bald man rolled his eyes: "Is the cockroach the point? Let me tell you, don't cause me any more trouble. There's no such thing as a shadow or a city of gloom. Get rid of all those weird ideas in your head. If you can't even resist this little bit of temptation, the academy's tolerance for you and me is limited."

“I wasn’t bewitched.” Kai maintained his bowed head posture.

Upon hearing this, the bald man seemed to be instantly provoked, closing his book and scratching his head in frustration.

But a few seconds later, he let out a long sigh, managing to calm himself down.

However, his shiny scalp was much redder than before, and the redness showed no signs of fading.

“My dear Kai, why don’t you take a stroll through the academy’s history room and see what became of those self-proclaimed superiors who wanted to control Illum? The people of Illum resolutely refuse to serve any creature that manipulates order. There are no gods here! I told you this on your very first day at the academy!”

"Why did Ilan erect that wall of separation? It was to block the intrusion of those malicious wills from the outside, and even more so to protect naive and foolish young people like you who are eager to climb out. I told the higher-ups that you are a promising talent, but even a genius cannot defy Ilan's ironclad laws. Only knowledge and truth can guide us, not any self-proclaimed deity. Don't you understand?"

"Don't mistake the academy's kindness for indulgence. You already enjoy far more privileges than your peers. If anyone else had made the same mistake, they would have been expelled from the academy long ago."

...

Kai opened his mouth as if to say something.

Before she could even finish speaking, the bald man stopped her with a barrage of "Hey, hey, hey, hey." He seemed to know that this brat was bound to say something outrageous like, "I'd love to be expelled from the academy."

...

The bald man sighed:
"Focus on your studies, Kai. Forget those unrealistic ideas. Those in power are fooling your mind. The kindness you perceive is nothing but self-deception. That shadow is no different from other so-called gods. All it sees is plunder."

Kai's tone remained as confident as ever:

"No, they are my family."

"Then why don't they come looking for you!?"

Completely enraged, the bald man finally lost his temper and slammed the books in his hand heavily onto the podium.

...

If it's family.

Then why don't they come looking for you...?

His words marked the end of the conversation.

Kai bowed his head, holding the heavy books, then turned and left the classroom.

The middle-aged mentor was left sitting on the podium, sighing softly.

……

In the college square, beneath a tall minaret, Kai found a quiet spot to sit down and study the books he had borrowed from the Great Library.

Let's pretend that conversation with the tutor in the classroom just now never happened.

...

The book records the origins of the oldest astrology. Legend has it that Ilan's magical heritage originated from these ancient astrologers. Kay's research into these things was not because she was particularly interested in the ancient origin magicians, but because she wanted to understand the formation principle of the "wall" that completely isolated Ilan from the outside world.

The reason her previous plan to cross the wall failed was because she had a misunderstanding of the wall that separated her. Now she plans to calm down and study it carefully.

Yes, Kai never gave up the idea of ​​leaving Ilan.

She is summarizing the lessons learned from her failures and preparing to try again with renewed effort.

...

Despite her efforts to avoid crowds, there were always some stubborn people who wouldn't let Kai have a proper summary.

Swish.

The book recording the origins of astrology suddenly and without warning slipped from Kai's hands, flew into the air, and eventually landed in the hands of a group of female magic apprentices dressed in blue robes.

These people were about the same age as Kai, perhaps a year or two older. Their apprentice robes had distinct star-shaped patterns, unlike Kai's. They also seemed to adhere to the ascetic image of ancient astrologers, as they were barefoot, with only bandages wrapped around their ankles and arches, a style reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino's ecstasy.

The young female magic apprentices were quite cute, but they had a strong "bitch" vibe, just like the following words they were about to say:
"Isn't this the little dog Gou that was just released from its cage? I heard you were bewitched by some evil god from the outside world. Let me see what you're researching..."

"So you were reading about the origins of astrology? Poor little dog, have you forgotten why you couldn't join the astrological institute? Hmm?"

"It's because your body is unclean. Only a pure soul and body are qualified to perform astrology. But you, poor child, your body has been defiled by evil gods from other realms, and you have even borne offspring for them. Forget about astrology, just standing in this academy is the greatest insult to all the astrological predecessors of the past."

……

"Give me back the book."

Whether it was his mentor or these strange guys in the astrology department, Kay never had the slightest desire to argue with them.

Even if some of the things they say are very hurtful.
