Van Loon, as an apprentice to the Elder Mage, has embarked on a whole new life in this mysterious forest. Every day, he learns various magical knowledge under the guidance of the Elder Mage, which is both fascinating and profound to him, filled with the joy of exploration and challenge.
Early each morning, the Elder Mage takes Van Loon deep into the forest to gather various rare herbs. Not only does the Elder Mage teach him how to identify different herbs and their effects, but also how to utilize the keen sense of smell of the goat to more quickly discern the types and quality of the herbs. Van Loon discovers that his sense of smell plays a huge role in this environment, making herb collection more efficient and accurate.
During the process of collecting herbs, Van Loon is usually used as a means of transportation. He has a belt tied around his back with many pouches hanging from it, filled with various herbs collected by him and Elder Mage. Initially, Van Loon felt somewhat resigned to this role, as he still considered himself a human at heart. However, as time passed, he gradually realized that this was also part of the learning process and a necessary adaptation to living in this otherworldly realm.
After the collection is complete, Van Loon and Elder Mage would return to a small wooden house, where he would learn how to process the herbs and brew potions. Although he couldn't perform these actions as easily as a human due to his physical limitations, Elder Mage tailored a set of magical learning methods suitable for goat's body. This learning process was filled with challenges and innovation. As a goat, his movements seemed clumsy and limited, but his efforts and perseverance never wavered.
Whenever dealing with herbs, Van Loon would hold a small knife in its mouth. Although this is quite difficult, it persists. It carefully cuts the herbs into the appropriate sizes, gradually improving the agility and precision of its mouth. This process is a completely new experience for it, and each successful cut brings an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
The process of brewing potions is even more challenging. Van Loon holds a large ladle in its mouth, stirring the potion in the pot. It must control the force and speed to ensure the potion is evenly heated without burning. This is not only a physical challenge for it but also a test of mental focus and patience.
However, some more delicate tasks, such as precise measurement of herbs or fine temperature adjustments, Van Loon cannot accomplish. In these cases, Elder Mage always intervenes personally to help him complete these details. Elder Mage always encourages him, telling him that once he learns magic, these seemingly difficult tasks can be easily accomplished by himself.
In this process, Van Loon learned a lot. He not only learned to identify and process various herbs, but also learned how to adapt to his own special physical condition to complete tasks. His adaptability and learning ability amazed Elder Mage, and also filled him with new expectations and hopes for life in this different world. Every night, when he rests by the fireplace, he thinks that although he is a sheep, his abilities and possibilities far exceed the limits of ordinary animals.
Van Loon's learning journey is full of novelty and challenges. In addition to gathering herbs and making potions, Elder Mage has also begun teaching him various spells, which is undoubtedly a new exploration for Van Loon.
On the spacious ground in front of the small wooden house, Elder Mage and Van Loon began practicing magic. Elder Mage explained to Van Loon that casting spells actually does not require specific movements or language, especially for creatures like Van Loon who possess a large number of Magic node. These external forms are not necessary. What truly matters is the caster's inner thoughts and mastery of magical energy.
Elder Mage Teaching Van Loon that when casting a spell, it is necessary to concentrate and imagine the desired effect in the mind, whether it is a specific object or a certain form of energy. This process is very novel for Van Loon, as he discovers that when he focuses his attention, he can feel the flow of magic within him, as if every thought can harness this power.
Under Elder Mage's guidance, Van Loon tries to transform his inner thoughts into actual magical effects. At first, most of his attempts end in failure, but he does not give up. Whenever he concentrates, he feels a wonderful sensation, as if he is connected to the surrounding world, and every breath resonates with the rhythm of nature.
Van Loon's heart is filled with concentration and anticipation. His gaze is fixed on the open space ahead, silently recalling Elder Mage's teachings: to imagine the magical effect he desires. He takes a deep breath, feeling the fresh air flow through him, carrying the vitality of life.
He closes his eyes, focusing his mind, attempting to transform his inner imagination into a tangible magic. He envisions a blazing fireball, in his mind it is red-orange, shimmering with dazzling firelight, warm and full of energy.
With his inner focus, Van Loon felt the magic within him responding to his thoughts. This sensation was both unfamiliar and magical, as if every cell in his body was conversing with this invisible force. His heart beat faster, each throb pushing the inner magic to flow towards his horn.
Slowly, Van Loon felt a faint warmth at his horn, a signal of concentrated magic. He carefully continued to concentrate, allowing the warmth to grow gradually. He felt the magic gathering at his horn, forming a small but bright point of light.
Van Loon opened his eyes and looked at the shimmering light, feeling full of surprise and excitement. This was the first time he truly felt the power of magic, feeling a real connection to the magical world.
Carefully, he expanded the light, imagining a fireball forming at the tip of his horn. The fireball grew larger and larger, flickering with enchanting flames, illuminating the surrounding area. Van Loon felt incredibly proud and joyful as he created a fireball using his own power for the first time. The fireball floated slowly in the air, and he felt the thrill of mastering this power. The fireball was completely under his control, giving him an unprecedented sense of strength and freedom.
Elder Mage looks at the progress of Van Loon and can't help but feel amazed and gratified. He discovers that this special dragon not only possesses extraordinary wisdom but also shows remarkable talent in learning magic. For Elder Mage, Van Loon is no longer just an apprentice but a magic practitioner with unlimited potential.
