Chapter 21 Triangle Guidance Method
“But-” Morrow turned and his bright eyes twinkled with a mysterious gleam.
“Before I teach you how to meditate, I have to tell you two truths about the general laws of the Wizard’s World.”
“First, both white and black wizards advocate equivalent exchange. White wizards obey this rule much more frequently than black wizards.”
“Second, for most wizards, a price can be named for anything. Only knowledge is priceless. Unless there is a very close relationship, you must the pay corresponding price if you want to receive knowledge from a wizard.”
Morrow said as he looked at Angel.
“I can teach Irene and Alan the meditation method for free because they are my relatives, but for you I can’t treat you the same. If you want to get a meditation method, you have to pay the corresponding price. But right now you have nothing that I desire.”
Angel’s face did not change but nodded to his direct statement. When he was very young, Jon told him that there was no one in the world that would treat you well for no reason. Along the journey, Morrow was too good to him, even going as far as to give him the valuable magic leather scroll for a promise that might never be fulfilled. This can be seen as almost not paying any price, and although Angel does not show it on the surface, his heart was actually very perturbed. Up until this moment when Morrow had uttered these words, Angel could not stop holding his breath, after that, he finally breathed a little sigh of relief.
Irene had a worried look on her face, trying to say something, but was halted by Morrow’s stern eyes.
“Although I can’t teach you the meditation method right now, you can go to the college and worship a mentor. Naturally, your mentor will pass on a meditation method more suitable for you. If you have good talent and become a true disciple of a wizard, you can even receive a higher quality method of meditation.” After Morrow stated this, Angel felt the tendency to leave right away, but was stopped: “You do not have to rush to leave, I called all of you over not only to say this of course, but for a second purpose.”
“Even though I am unable to teach you the method of meditation, I can let you know in advance what meditation means to wizards.” After Morrow finished, he flatly said with no nonsense to the group, ”Watch carefully.”
Morrow closed his eyes while the group had no idea what he was doing. After two or three seconds, the wanted notice on the table slowly started floating into the air, and then, under the command of Morrow, the notice fluttered flexibly through the air, curling and twisting, hovering and falling. The three pairs of little eyes shone brightly, and even though they were used to Morrow’s powers, they still showed expressions of genuine excitement.
Morrow did not open his eyes until the wanted notice fell slowly back on the table.
“I didn’t release any spell craft just now, but this notice was under my complete control until I released it. Do you know why?” After Morrow asked, he patted his forehead. “Yee, how can I be so confused! You haven’t had any contact with wizards at all. How could I ask you all such a thoughtless question!”
Morrow positively said: “Let me just say, this power comes from meditation. Wizards generally call it mental force. The level of mental force is related to your magic guiding efficiency.”
“Magic is a unique force produced by the body when it communicates with the world. In general, mental force must be higher than 10 in order to guide the source of magic into the body and receive feedback from the source. The higher the mental force value, the more efficient the magic guiding will naturally be.”
“Meditation exists to improve the efficiency of guiding magic.”
“Besides, mental force, for most wizards, is the medium of magic. In fact, mental force also plays another key role, which is that it can even affect the material world. For example, this scroll is moved purely by mental force. However, keep in mind that mental force is a very unstable force, and the role of meditation is to build models to stabilize this mental force. Morrow sighed: “There are some special departments in the three major branches that combine of mental force and magic source. However, with such a technique, there is a need for extensive knowledge precipitation, which delves into a deeper level than I can explain. Until you reach that level of wizard, you don’t need to have contact with it.”
Morrow explained some of the concepts about meditation in detail and handed Alan a thin pamphlet.

“This is a basic summary of our college’s meditation method, the Triangle Guidance Method. Alan, when you take it back and remember the method, give it to Irene to remember.” After Morrow finished explaining to Alan, who looked more dazed than focused, he looked to Irene, who paced rolled her eyes in every direction around her.
“Keep in mind that the Triangle Guidance Method must not be passed around in private. As soon as you two commit it to memory, destroy it immediately. If the college found out that I had taught it to others in private, not only will I perish, but you would be put to death as well.”
Irene was stunned by Morrow’s warning. A word of discouragement laced with death, which showed Irene how cruel the Wizard’s World would be, and at this moment she caught a small glimpse at the truth of this world.
“Well, each of you can ask me a single question. When you get your answer, go back to your respective rooms. I’m going to start my study on a new magic project in the coming days. If it doesn’t involve your life or death, don’t come bothering me.” The second half of Morrow’s words were clearly directed at the siblings. As for Angel, Morrow thought he had done enough.
Irene and Alan were silent, though they yearn to be wizards, they were too young to have understanding of their current opportunity. Neither of the questions they raised were overly complex. Among them, Irene asked a question which caused Morrow to show a frigid expression, she asked the same question regarding talent that Morrow had answered a few days ago, when she mentioned it again, Morrow not smacking her on the head right then and there, was already a kind gesture.
Alan’s question was about the difference between a “white” wizard and a “black” wizard.
This kind of common sense question, in fact, will be answered when they arrive at the college, in the end, they will naturally understand it. It was a waste of an opportunity to ask Morrow such a mundane question at this time.
Morrow thought his question was too common, but at least it was better than Irene’s. After, Morrow spoke a few more details regarding the topic: “White wizards and black wizards, at first it appears to be a difference between good and evil, he-he, in fact, there is no difference at all. Black or white is just defined by a wizard apprentice. For a formal wizard, there is no black or white at all. Just a difference in style of approach.”
“The ‘white’ wizard from the understanding of a wizard apprentice acts in a milder style. As for the ‘black’ wizard, they are portrayed as more violent and cruel. However, these are not absolutes. When a white wizard is in a bad mood, you may pass in front of them and be bombed to dregs. Black or white, this only explains the choice of both kinds of wizards make in their natural state. On the whole, there is no difference. When you go through and become an official wizard, one second you are a dark wizard, the next you become a white wizard, meaning no difference at all.”
“Although there are black and white wizards, there is a difference between wizard apprentices and formal wizards. For example, our White Coral Floating Island College, which is generally a more moderate wizard organization, does not do more than necessary when recruiting. Our Wizards do not kill apprentices, or even enjoy seeing apprentices killed outside, so our wizards will help occasionally, of course it depends on the circumstances. Also the wizard must be compensated afterwards. In Big 6, there are some wizard groups that advocate a living environment of survival of the fittest, and apprentices are sometimes viewed as human test subjects by wizards.”
“Therefore, you are extremely lucky to be able to enter our White Coral Floating Island College.”
After answering Alan’s question, Morrow looked at Angel again.
Angel solemnly stood up and saluted, and asked with doubt in his heart, “My question is, what is the principle used in the release of a spell?”
“That’s a good question.” Morrow looked approvingly at Angel, “To answer this question, with my current knowledge system, even if it may not be completely authoritative. I can only tell you that the rules of spell casting are based on my own understanding. After listening, you can use it as a reference.”
“For wizards, magic is the energy for releasing a spell, but the most important thing is not the magic, but the knowledge used to structure the spell. It can be said that knowledge is the basis of everything to a wizard. To explore the magic source, to seek the answers to all things, to pursue the path of truth, all knowledge can be transformed into immortal miracles using magic.”
“For example, there is a kind of low-level spell that requires a dog’s nose. If you want to release this spell, you need not only have the corresponding magic, but also have the structure of a dog’s nose as well as the corresponding olfactory knowledge. So frankly speaking, you have to modify your nasal cavity. ”
“For wizards, the most important thing is the accumulation of knowledge and insight from all creative avenues.”
