"Teacher, what do you want from me?"
Under the leadership of an unknown female mage, Aaron found Erin in a room.
Erin was in a very good mood when she saw Aaron's arrival.
When she was about to speak, she subconsciously sensed Aaron's magic fluctuations, and her expression suddenly froze.
"You've become stronger again…"
"The harvest is not bad, but compared with you, teacher, it's far behind," Aaron said modestly.
"Hehe…"
Erin responded with silence.
Far behind? It's been less than a day, and you're not far behind me in illusion magic. If you directly surpass me, I'll lose all my dignity!
Of course, Erin also knew that it was only a matter of time before the other party surpassed her.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, he would overtake her in some aspects.
Before long, she would be completely left in the dust.
She took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "How are you studying the magic book I gave you yesterday?"
Aaron frowned and said, "The magic book contains too much enchanting knowledge, and I'm still in the exploratory stage…"
Phew~
That's good.
Hearing this answer, Erin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised her own idea from yesterday.
After seeing Aaron's magical talent, Erin had to resort to tricks to save her own face.
Aren't you very talented in magic?
Then it's fine if I don't teach you directly.
Let you slowly read through the entire magic book. It will take a lot of time just to read it completely.
Coupled with the study time, it can always be delayed for a while.
Well, maybe?
Although she used a trick, Erin didn't mean to harm Aaron.
As a mage, in fact, more magic learning still depends on oneself.
What others teach is only a small part, after all.
More knowledge is in the magic books located in the library.
If you want to become an excellent archmage, you cannot bypass the library.
There, more time is spent.
And on the other hand, if you learn enchantment magic, it will have considerable benefits in improving your spellcasting level.
Not only can you create powerful artifacts, but it can also help improve your spellcasting proficiency.
It's impossible for Erin to hold a thick magic book and impart knowledge page by page.
Neither she nor Aaron have that much time.
"Ahem, don't be discouraged. Enchanting magic is vast and profound. If you want to fully master it, the time required will definitely be measured in years. Even I can't say that I've mastered all enchanting magic so far."
"The real master of enchantment in Asgard is our king, God-King Odin!"
"His attainments in enchantment are admirable."
"But even he spent countless years to achieve such a high level of enchantment."
"You still have a long time; maybe you can become the strongest mage one day!"
Erin patiently enlightened Aaron, fearing that the other party would have self-doubt because of this setback.
But she was obviously overthinking it. Aaron's main focus was not on enchantment.
Otherwise, how could he start slowly studying it at the end?
"By the way, you didn't continue practicing other magic after you went back last night, right?"
Erin suddenly thought of something at this time and asked softly.
"I did!"
Aaron nodded and replied in the affirmative.
At the same time, he snapped his fingers.
The office where the two of them were suddenly turned into a familiar Gobi.
The vision was hazy, and the cold wind was biting.
There were even vague figures floating in the distance.
It made everything look unreal.
"Heim Hades!"
Erin was taken aback, and in her excitement, her body suddenly stood upright. Isn't this illusion, this scene, the same as the Hades illusion she used to show off her power to all the apprentices on the first day?
Speaking of the authenticity of this illusion alone, it's no different from the one she created.
And it was vaguely more realistic.
If she hadn't watched Aaron perform it in person, it would be difficult for her to distinguish between reality and illusion. After careful perception, Erin showed a look of despair.
It's over. In less than a day, I've been surpassed by a student…
Odin above!
Are you kidding me?
The illusion of Hades didn't last long before the entire illusion turned into smoke and disappeared.
And Aaron's face was a little pale.
This was the aftermath of severe magic power consumption.
Before coming here, he had already consumed almost all his magic power to improve illusion and space storage.
Now, maintaining the illusion of Hades for a short period was already his limit.
"Teacher, after practicing for a long time last night, I had a question."
"Where does the magical energy spreading throughout Asgard come from?"
Yes, where does Asgard's magical energy come from?
This is Aaron's biggest question.
It's also a key to improving energy reserves.
Since he's a beginner in magic, everything about Asgard's magic remains in the speculation stage.
Aaron has thought that this kind of magical energy might be a special kind of cosmic energy.
But if so, why didn't the mages of Kamar-Taj try to absorb this kind of magical energy? Knowing the huge cost, they still insist on obtaining magic power by signing contracts with ancient gods. Is it simply because absorbing it themselves is slower, and it's easier to become stronger by borrowing magic?
If not, does Asgard's magical energy come from the planet itself?
He remembered that Surtur's sword, which destroyed Asgard, seemed to trigger the energy of the star core.
And the energy source of the famous Star-Destroying Cannon Rainbow Bridge is also Asgard itself.
Of course, there are other possibilities.
That is the World Tree.
Aaron has a bold guess.
That is, the World Tree is not a special star structure, but the real energy source of Asgard!
If this is the case, then he could try to find a larger energy source.
Because the World Tree, as a communication bridge between Asgard and the other realms, is definitely not just tied to Asgard itself.
Otherwise, why did Hela's divine power weaken but not completely disappear after Asgard was destroyed, while Thor still had complete divine power?
Just a simple protagonist halo?
Or faith?
Before finding out the real answer, Aaron remained skeptical.
If this medium really exists, it might solve the most pressing problem at present.
Erin obviously didn't expect Aaron to ask this question.
The blank look on her face said everything.
Seeing this, Aaron sighed silently.
Sure enough, Erin was just a minor mage after all, and it was obviously too much to expect her to reveal deep secrets.
Maybe only Odin knows, right?
No, maybe there's another person—Frigga!
As the Queen, Frigga is also a powerful mage and has access to a wider range of knowledge!
After Erin was briefly lost in thought, she glanced at Aaron in confusion and then shared her knowledge of the source of magic.
"Isn't magical energy a special kind of cosmic energy?"
"And we, under the guidance of the God-King, can use this energy for technology and ourselves, greatly strengthening our overall strength."
"Got it, teacher." Aaron nodded, indicating that he understood.
As for his true thoughts, he didn't tell Erin.
Maybe she was right, but how could she explain the energy source of the royal family of the gods?
Why can only creatures from the Nine Realms use this kind of power?
Everything is a question.
On the other hand, Aaron's understanding of the world is still based on the analysis of the situation he has seen so far.
He doesn't even dare to guarantee that this world is just the MCU universe.
So, this issue still needs further discovery.
The two didn't dwell on this issue for long.
Erin finally started to reveal the real reason.
"Aaron, in view of your outstanding magical talent, yesterday I applied for special permission from Queen Frigga for you. In the future, you no longer need to study with other apprentices."
"You have the right to ask any teacher in the magic academy for magic knowledge."
"You can also enter the library and check information at any time."
"In fact, I'd prefer to let the Queen teach you personally, but the Queen still needs to continue observing your talents, so…"
"Try harder!"
"As long as you can show more magic talents, you will receive guidance from the Queen, and even have the opportunity to attract the attention of the God-King and receive the blessings of the God-King!"
"I believe that with your talent, you are likely to become the greatest mage in the future!"
There's one thing Erin didn't say in her heart: that Aaron has the hope of becoming the new God of Magic!
The other party's ability to learn magic is beyond her understanding.
She believes that even Odin could never match him. Aaron is destined to shine in magic.
