Arcane Age

Therese has been in a bad mood recently because his father, Viscount Vincent, just sent a letter.

The letter scolded him so much that he had not been promoted to an official knight in three years.

You must know that in his letters to his father, he always said that he was living well recently, making rapid progress, and everything was fine!

His father was obviously disappointed with himself and did not even mention his fiancée Jacqueline in the letter. Finally, he told himself not to waste time at the Knight Academy and to return to the countryside in southern France as soon as possible. His father had already begun to look for a new partner for him. Got it!

Along with the letter came a check for twenty French gold coins, which was the last money his father declared to him.

After reading this letter, Therese felt infinite sadness and anger in his heart.

A feeling of powerlessness enveloped him, and he collapsed on the bed, and the letter fell to the floor. He slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

When he first came to the royal capital Paali from the southern countryside, and when he came to Legrand Knight Academy, he was also a diligent and motivated student, working hard to be promoted to a real knight and bring glory to his family!

However, in the first test three months after entering school, his progress ranked more than 400 out of 700 in the entire grade!

"Therese, it seems you can't do it!"

"Therese, don't waste your time. The way of knighthood is not suitable for you! It is better to return to the country as soon as possible to marry a wife and have children. Maybe your son will become a real knight in the future!"

"Therese, you still want to be a knight?"

Therese gritted his teeth and struggled for half a year despite the ridicule of countless people, and finally came to the final test at the end of the semester.

This time, his ranking changed by almost 200 places, reaching over 600 places!

Therese finally accepted his fate. He had no talent for knighthood!

However, he did not want to go back to the small southern town in embarrassment, where he could dominate with the title of viscount heir. However, he really left his hometown and came to the prosperous royal capital of Paali, where he opened his eyes to the real world. World, how could I admit my fate of failure!

However, the feeling of powerlessness always hung over him. In two years, he made friends with a large number of aristocratic children with similar family backgrounds and college rankings to him, drinking and having fun all day long, wasting his life.

Although he is only nineteen years old, Therese feels that he can no longer see any light.

In the royal capital of Paali, all kinds of expenses are much higher than in the countryside. Although twenty gold coins are a lot, they are only enough for three months!

Moreover, he has to leave a sum of money as travel expenses. In this way, the time he can still stay in Paali, a royal capital with a population of two million that makes him dream, is already numbered!

After lying on the bed like a corpse for half a day, the afternoon sun shone on the window sill, giving a hint of spring to the cold winter.

His stomach growled, Therese got up and planned to go to the street to find something to eat.

Holding a donut and chewing on it, Therese would never eat something like this that only cost three copper coins and was not delicious at all except to fill his stomach!

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a signboard, which was the Bauhinia Bookstore.

Bauhinia Bookstore! Therese suddenly remembered the book "How a Magician Was Made". He had read it so many times, but after a hangover he could no longer find it!

A mysterious force drove him into this bookstore. In the bookstore was still the young clerk, still reading a book seriously!

Somehow, Therese stepped forward again to observe the spine of the book - "Meditation and the Lake of the Heart", written by Sylvie Frost.

It's that Sylvie Frost again, author of "How a Magician is Made," and this is his new book!

A burst of joy came from the depths of his heart. At this moment, Fraser forgot all his depression and sadness. He walked around the tall bookshelves with brisk steps, and finally came to the place that was very eye-catching when he first entered. I found a whole bookshelf of books. The top half was "Meditation and the Heart Lake" and the bottom half was "How a Magician is Made"!

Unexpectedly, with just one book, the author Sylvie Frost became a counter author!

Fraser is an old reader. The total number of counter writers recognized by the five largest book chambers in France is only more than 30. Each of them has written several best-sellers, and each of them can be listed on the best-seller list. The old author of the list!

I quickly took a look at the bestseller list for January 1787 in the Sacred Calendar hanging in the most conspicuous place of Bauhinia Bookstore, and found the familiar Syvie Frost and "How a Magician Was Made" in the first position!

The eye-catching bright red paint wrote a terrifying number, total sales in January: 84,459!

The sales volume in one month alone was more than 80,000 copies!

You must know that the best-selling book in the Kingdom of France in 1786 in the Holy Calendar only sold 190,000 copies!

The second bestseller this month only has over 20,000 copies!

No wonder I became a counter author so quickly!

If nothing else happens, Sylvie Frost is undoubtedly destined to be the best-seller champion this year!

Fraser felt a sense of joy in his heart. This was an author he supported and recognized.

"'Meditation and the Heart Lake', isn't this what a magician should learn during the enlightenment stage? But it doesn't seem like the title of a novel?" Fraser picked up a new book by Xi Wei with some confusion. This book is as polished as the last, far superior to other shoddy ones. The cover depicts an extremely beautiful and dreamy blue castle, which is even three points more beautiful than the French royal family’s Palace of Fontainebleau that Fraser had seen from afar!

This castle is naturally the Violet Castle, and Xi Wei has already begun subtle propaganda.

Opening the catalog, Therese looked at it slowly.

Chapter 1: What is meditation.

Chapter 2: What preparations should be made before meditation.

Chapter 3: How to enter a meditative state.

Chapter 4: Seven ways to help you enter a meditative state.

…

Therese was shocked. Is this Xi Wei crazy? He actually taught meditation techniques publicly in a book?

Therese's trembling hands hurriedly turned the pages of the book. Each page of the fine writing paper taught the secrets of meditation and the inner lake. It was also accompanied by many accurate and vivid color images, and the language was even more plain to the extreme. , even a person who has just started learning Common Language for half a year can understand it!

It's crazy!

This is the secret of enlightenment for the noble profession of magician!

You must know that on the Oriente continent, magicians are the three most noble professions on par with blood knights and Lord of Glory priests!
