The magic book that Balthazar gave to Locke was a large tome, and the actual knowledge contained in it was many times that of a book of the same thickness, and it seemed that it was impossible to finish it.

It records a large number of magic principles, learning experiences, and various magic spells. It can be said to be the summary of Balthazar's lifelong magic knowledge.

When it was time for dinner, Peggy finally woke up and she had really forgotten what happened at the antique store.

"You said I fell asleep in the antique store and you brought me back?" After dinner, Peggy found Locke and asked.

The sudden memory gap made her confused, because with her IQ, she had the same high-definition photographic memory as Little Sheldon, and she would never forget what she had experienced. It was just what happened after entering the antique store. How could she? I can't even remember it.

"That's right, you suddenly fainted after touching the clay pot. I was also shocked." I could only bring you back.

"That's so weird. And is the story about the clay pot you told true?"

"What story?" Locke pretended to be confused: "Did you say that if you open that clay pot, you will be sealed for ten years? That is just a legend. I also read it in a book before. How can it be true? We want Trust the science.”

Like Sheldon, Peggy believes in science and is not interested in occultism, but the problem of memory problems really made her think about it for a long time.

Seeing this, Locke began to divert her attention: "It's a bit of a pity to say it. I originally wanted to bring a few gifts back."

"Who do you want to buy a gift for?" Peggy said, "I remember you are an orphan and don't have a girlfriend."

"It's the stewards I know from the orphanage." Locke said, "They all take good care of me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to grow up smoothly. In addition, I am also planning to buy some candies and small toys for the children in the orphanage."

"In that case, let's go together tomorrow afternoon." Peggy said.

Finally, Peggy's attention was diverted. Locke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He talked with Peggy about choosing a gift before returning to his room to rest.

In the next few days, whenever he had free time, Locke kept looking through the magic book he just got to see if he could learn the magic in it.

Except for the most basic ones, most of the magic recorded in the book cannot be skilled. According to the system prompts, his meditation level is too low and his magic power accumulation is insufficient to meet the conditions for learning those skills.

Locke could only be patient and raise the level of the meditation method first.

As the meditation progresses, Locke can feel pure energy constantly entering his body from the outside world. This feeling is like the most relaxing full-body massage, and people can't help but immerse themselves in it.

Unfortunately, the improvement of the meditation method is much slower than Locke imagined. It only takes half a day at most to improve skills such as boxing and judo to the intermediate level. But a few days have passed, and Locke's meditation method skills are still elementary. , the experience progress is very slow.

In the past few days, Balthazar and Locke met again. During this time, he also found out Locke's identity and all the information from his birth to the present.

It's not unexpected. Balthazar always has doubts about people who appear suddenly. After more than a thousand years of wandering and searching, Balthazar also has his own network of contacts.

But the information he found out really made him unable to understand how Locke, a guy who knew nothing before, could know the true identity of the descendant of Merlin.

Through previous contacts, Balthazar confirmed that Locke had not learned any magic before meeting him and was an ordinary person. In the end, he could only attribute everything to the revelation of fate.

This reason is considered reasonable by Balthazar. It is not scientific, but it is magical.

As for Dave, the successor of Merlin, Balthazar also found him. He was just born not long ago, and in a place as big as New York, there was more than one person with the same name.

But only one person reacted to the dragon ring left by Merlin, which shows that he is indeed the descendant of Merlin.

Now Dave can't even speak, and Balthazar can't go up and say that he wants to teach others magic. He can only pay attention silently and wait for Dave to grow up slowly.

Locke's sudden encounter with magic made Locke less enthusiastic about the Mathematical Olympiad competition.

Those who can participate in the finals are the top eight teams selected through the preliminaries, and they will compete in pairs through drawing lots until the final champion is determined.

With hard power, the five-member team led by Locke easily reached the finals. This time their opponent was Holy Trinity High School, a church school.

The name of Holy Trinity is quite resounding. It is one of the top private universities in New York, and it was the winner of the last Mathematical Olympiad. During last year's competition, Locke lost to the opponent by one question.

This time, the five Locke people were ready to avenge their past humiliation.

Before the final, Locke clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention:

"Okay, since last year's game ended, and after a year of preparation, it's up to today. Our opponent is the famous Holy Trinity Private High School. They are also our old rivals. In this battle, we must go all out , won the final championship!”

"champion!"

Everyone shouted out, "The contestants who can participate in the Mathematical Olympiad and reach the finals are all talents with high IQs."

In the previous qualifiers, most of the players needed to do simple calculations with pen and paper during the competition, but in the finals, everyone did the calculations directly mentally.

Even calculators are meaningless. For those extremely complex calculations, a master can already calculate the answer mentally if he has the time to input them on a calculator.

The rules for the start of the final eight are also different from the previous qualifiers. The question and answer mode is directly adopted.

The organizer randomly selects a total of one hundred questions from the question bank, and the questions are displayed on the projection screen. After the contestants solve the answers below, they press the answering machine as quickly as possible to qualify for the answer. The correct answer will add one point. Two points will be deducted for errors.

After all the questions are over, the party with the higher score wins, so the other team members look at Locke and Peggy.

They didn't have many opportunities to play in the semi-finals before. Not surprisingly, the most important thing is to see the performance of the two of them.

After encouraging the team members, Locke led the team one by one to the auditorium stage of North Shore High School and sat in front of the table, with a answering machine in front of each person.

Compared to the new face Peggy appeared among the five people on Locke's side, the five people on the opposite side were all old opponents from last year. Kent, the leader, looked proud.

The IQs of the four members of their team are all over 160, and Kent has even reached 174. In comparison, except for him and Peggy, the other three people on Locke's side are worse.

To a certain extent, last year, Locke lost to the opponent by one question, which was also a reflection of the gap in strength between the two sides. Even in the finals, Locke completely performed beyond his normal capabilities.

This time the instructor is full of confidence. Locke's performance is much better than last year. Now with Peggy joining the team, I have the advantage. It's hard to lose in this final.
