Section 5, Copying Runes

Lance pondered silently for a moment before asking, "I have heard that some advanced chips can directly transfer data into the human brain. Can this be done with foxes?"

His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and the voice of the main chip echoed beside his ears

Lance let out a muffled groan, spat out a mouthful of blood, and with his knees giving way, immediately knelt down on the ground

Even so, such a person needs to read the writing at least three times in order to clearly see and memorize the rune

The steward nodded and walked outside

As night falls, the candles are lit in the castle

"Sir, the wizard from Amman has arrived." An elderly man dressed in a butler's uniform slowly approached.

Then came a wave of intense pain, and Lance fell silent, losing consciousness immediately

"Please have him come in," Ryan said

His breathing became increasingly rapid, and his eyes began to moisten—sharp pangs of pain triggered a flood of tears. While wiping away the tears, he continued to focus his attention on that rune.

Lance looked very intently, and a dull pain began to throb in his head

"Young Master Lance, what is the matter with you?" Poirot noticed the situation was dire and immediately supported Lance. His concern was not for Lance's safety, but rather for his own position and life. The young viscount had a notorious reputation in the entire Cavalry Kingdom during his youth; if his utterly useless son were to die by his side, would it not reflect poorly on his ability to protect?

In an instant, it felt as if a needle had sharply pierced into Lance's head. The already dull pain in his mind suddenly intensified, and a clear and complete rune was thoroughly imprinted in his consciousness

Nothing is visible, only a silhouette

"Magic, indeed, is the most wondrous and *illustrative* thing in this world," Lance thought with a sense of longing

... ...

And outside, there is a brand new world

My situation seems to have improved significantly compared to that previous fellow. In my memory, he watched the teacher write runes at least a dozen times over the course of six months, yet he could not even see the outlines, only a chaotic piece of beast hide.

The instruction has been received, and the data organization will begin...

"Carry me back to the castle," Lance said without any courtesy, as he truly had no strength left to walk.

He declined Poirot's suggestion to see a doctor and quickly returned to his own room in the castle

Call!

It can be reproduced, and the effect will not be diminished. However, analysis indicates that this process will place a significant burden on your brain, and your current mental state is not suitable for accessing the "Secondary Meditation Rune" materials, the fox advised

The world of wizards

Lance began to break out in a cold sweat

The data has been completely stored, please provide a name

Please cease this behavior! Otherwise, it will lead to irreparable consequences!

The viscount remained expressionless, yet the servant standing behind him was already beginning to sweat on his forehead

Young Master Lance, you have come out

The rest of the people are indeed in line, except for ... ...

Three minutes later, the old wizard stopped writing, closed the parchment, and said softly, "Alright"

However, Lance currently has only one opportunity

The spell runes are indeed not so easy to memorize. Lancelot widened his eyes; no matter how hard he tried, he could at most only see an outline of the runes.

In the restaurant on the first floor, a few figures sat leisurely, engrossed in their books and pictures. Five or six servants and maids attended to the dining table, serving dish after dish of dinner brought out from the kitchen to the long table

Of course, the Fox is the latest generation of super main chip. The main chip quickly responded: "However, this process has irreversible characteristics; once the data is copied into the brain, it will never be eliminated. Moreover, this process can cause serious damage to the brain. Although it may not lead to permanent irrecoverability, it will certainly require a long period of recovery. Additionally, each person can only undergo data copying once in their lifetime, as the human brain is, after all, a very fragile biological entity, and current scientific technology cannot fully analyze it thoroughly.

Additionally, each person can only undergo data copying once in their lifetime, as the human brain is, after all, a very fragile biological entity, and current scientific technology cannot fully analyze it thoroughly. The main chip, as an auxiliary instrument for the brain, is not suitable for long-term interference with the brain's operation.

The Secondary Meditation Rune" Lance felt a bit excited as he silently asked, "If I access this information now, will I be able to recreate the previous process?"

The data has been organized and completed

Warning, warning, your brain is attempting to bear an overload of abnormal energy

Without uttering a word, he directly picked up Lance and sprinted towards the castle.

Of course. Execute the task immediately! Lance is not one to dawdle.

About five minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of Lance. Beatrice wore a look of schadenfreude, and her mother clearly shared the sentiment; Erin, on the other hand, displayed a worried expression

I have decided to copy the data, targeting the material "Secondary Meditation Rune". Lance lay on the bed, finding a more comfortable position to lie down.

An hour later, the last round of desserts had been served, yet Lance still had not appeared

Lance sat down heavily on the bed; at this moment, he was extremely hungry, yet he had no appetite at all. The only thing that shone in his mind was that magical rune.

Everyone knows that the Viscount is currently in a very bad mood. Just before the meal, the Viscount announced in front of everyone that he would give Lance another chance, allowing him to write a spell rune after tonight's banquet, which would be personally verified by the wizard Amman

No one dared to defy, and they began to enjoy the sumptuous meal of the evening

Poirot let out a sigh of relief; since Lans was still able to speak, at least the condition was not too serious

Eileen bit her lip and said

"Can it only be copied once?" Lance pondered for a moment, and ultimately decided: "Once is enough. As long as I can get past this hurdle, I will definitely become a wizard! Although the basic meditation technique is considered quite ordinary among meditation techniques, advanced meditation techniques are not so easy to find. To memorize and master such a practical spell rune, this price is worth paying."

Gradually, Lance fell into a state of confusion, as if he were asleep, yet the voice of the fox remained distinctly audible

Begin bioelectric current anesthesia of certain brain regions

The old wizard writes very slowly; for him, inscribing such a rune is actually a very skilled task. The reason he writes so slowly is to give Lance one last opportunity.

Apart from Viscount Ryan, the other four individuals at the dining table are Viscountess Nancy and the three daughters of the viscount. The eldest son, Griffin, is stationed at the Red River outpost year-round and seldom returns for meals; the second lady went back to her family home earlier, reportedly due to the passing of a wealthy elder, and it is said that she hopes to inherit a substantial fortune from this return.

The viscount let out a cold snort

At that moment, a voice suddenly emerged from the dining table: "Father, let me go see Brother Lance..."

Fox, has the previous record been completed

Lance stared intently at the strokes of the old wizard's writing, but to his surprise, although his gaze was fixed firmly on the characters on the animal skin, he could not discern what Master Anman was actually writing

"Eat." The viscount commanded succinctly.

Having served the viscount for many years, he was acutely aware that this was merely the eerie calm before the storm

The speaker is a middle-aged woman named Ciri, who has worked in the castle for over a decade, earning the favor of the viscount and viscountess. Ciri is originally a distant relative of the viscount and is currently employed in the castle, attending to several of the viscount's children

Given the current situation, it seems somewhat impossible to achieve this through normal means, after all, Lance is not a genius in magic and cannot instantly master a spell rune

He wanted to forcibly interpret the rune in his memory, an endeavor that was certainly beyond his capabilities, which immediately caused him to suffer damage from the magical rune

Is it really not possible? Lancelot shook his head, ceasing the attempt to forcibly interpret the spell runes. If even the interpretation could not be completed, then memory was out of the question, especially considering his promise to the viscount tonight to be able to write down the entire spell rune

He endured the pain in his head, respectfully bowed to Amman, and then turned to walk towards the elevator

The moment of leaving the Moonlight Tower coincided with noon

Dismounting from Polo, Lance had already recovered from his previous predicament. He had merely overexerted his mental energy, and there were no significant issues with his physical condition.

His current condition is much better than that of the original owner, which proves that Lance's mental strength is at least very sufficient. According to the teachings of Amman, he knows that if one can see a rough outline of the magical runes during the first observation, it indicates that this person's mental strength has met the minimum requirements to become a wizard

However, by the time the banquet began, Lance had not shown up at all

There are a total of five people seated at the dining table, with the Lord Viscount sitting at one end of the long table, while the others are seated on either side according to their rank

So this is what the runes of the secondary meditation technique look like... Lance suddenly understood, as if a layer of hazy paper had been pierced, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine through.

Seeing Lance emerge from between the two potters, Poirot approached him. Lance was trembling all over, his lips had turned a deep purple

The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became cold and gloomy

"Where is Lance?" The voice of Viscount Ryan slowly echoed across the table

This greatly infuriated Viscount Ryan

Lance understood that this was the teacher's final favor to him The wizards did not like to be disturbed By saying this, it was almost tantamount to issuing an eviction order

... ...

"My lord, this morning, Master Lance visited the Moonlight Tower. At noon, a guard saw that he had returned to the castle." A deep voice replied, "Master Lance is usually punctual; perhaps something has delayed him today"

Data copy, start

"Shall we proceed with the copying now?" asked the fox

Several servants exchanged glances, shaking their heads in confusion. Ever since the previous personal maid was dismissed by Young Master Lance, no one had taken on the role of the Second Young Master's servant. They were not quite aware of what had transpired with Lance.
