Volume II: The Big Lie Chapter 47: Crystallology

"Of course, I'm just a simple statement. In reality, there will be more diverse factors, which should be viewed in the context of the times. ”

Rather than directly handing over the knowledge to the girl, Qianzhou hopes to give the girl the method of understanding the world and the mature way of thinking.

"If you have the opportunity, go outside and walk more, the world is big. Qianzhou said.

In this regard, the former year just lowered his head and said "um" lightly.

"That's right, teacher. Here are some books left behind by people from Xizhou, but I can't read them. As he spoke, he put a stack of books on the table.

Qianzhou flipped through the books, most of which were in the lingua franca of Xizhou (English), but there were also small languages in other parts of Xizhou such as Latin and Caspencie.

Qianzhou looked at the printing dates of the books again—the most recent one was three hundred years away from the furthest one, but surprisingly there was almost no difference in appearance. Maybe it's because it's been well preserved?

"I can read some of them, which is the part that is written in the lingua franca. Qianzhou replied.

Fortunately, my English is good, and there is no problem with normal reading and writing communication. Or in the future, when you set it, simply the whole universe is speaking Chinese, so that everyone can communicate directly, and it is also convenient for the traverser to fellow villagers. Wait, it's not impossible to set Chinese as an ancient script with special powers......

In a moment of thought, Qianzhou opened a parchment scroll.

"This is ......" Seeing the content, Qianzhou's pupils shrank.

Most of the books that Qianzhou opened before were useless things like poetry collections that moaned without illness, old-fashioned romance novels, and diaries with running accounts, but this parchment scroll was related to transcendent knowledge.

The parchment scroll doesn't have a title, but if you were to name it according to the content, Chishu would call it that—

The Crystal School of Etroy

"Crystal" here does not refer to geological mineral crystals, but to essentia, the idealistic power that has no definite physical form.

The study of the Etroy school is "how to make essentia produce a definite form". Based on this, the Etroy school eventually developed a technology that could transform invisible essentia into crystal-like crystals, and from this extended a series of applications.

What excites Qianzhou the most is that the research of "Crystal Sect Etroy School" does not rely on a certain transcendent ladder, but directly acts on the essentia itself - in other words, this is a skill tree that can be directly plugged in without preconditions! Regardless of the effect, anyway, no money, learn a little more.

Qianzhou held the parchment roll in his hand and looked at it carefully—the handwriting on it was very sloppy, and there was a faint sense of urgency. This shows that the author did not write it in a stable environment, and that there are occasional low-level errors in the content of the parchment, which shows that the person who wrote the parchment did not understand the contents, but simply copied them.

Based on this, the novelist has already made up a "crisis moment of the collapse of the school, I can't bear the disappearance of the school's hard work." So he copied the content and fled to the white desert". Of course, it may also be a story of "stealing the secrets of the school, being hunted down and fleeing to the white desert".

In short, whatever the truth behind it, it is an indisputable fact that this parchment was left behind Enron.

"Teacher, why don't you speak. Did you see something important?" the voice of the past woke up the fascinated Qianzhou.

"This is a book on transcendent knowledge, acting directly on changes in the nature of essentia, without the limitations of the transcendent ladder. I'd like to borrow it if I can. Qianzhou didn't hide it, and directly said the value of the parchment roll.

Maybe he could just make up a lie and roll the parchment into ink. However, Qianzhou believes that morality is only precious when there is no outside supervision.

After becoming a transcendent, Qianzhou strengthened his self-restraint. Because he knows very well what kind of power is hidden in such a seemingly ordinary body—the power that is above the world, and can trample on the law and justice at will.

If you don't have any restraint and act only on desire and instinct, will it be Qianzhou herself or the beast named "Qianzhou" who drives this body in the end?

Qianzhou didn't know, but he knew that strength was not an end, and that strength should only be a part of the whole rather than the personality itself.

"Of course, no problem, just take what the teacher needs. "In the past, I was very generous, but I was too generous, so much so that it gave people the feeling that they didn't care about anything.

This made Qianzhou a little happy to accept this student, but also a little embarrassed: "I will leave the corresponding translation after I understand this parchment scroll." ”

"It doesn't matter. Shaking his head, "That kind of thing doesn't make sense even if it stays." ”

"That's right. Qianzhou patted his head, "What is the Archon Your Excellency here for today?"

"Uncle Holder?" said he hadn't hidden much from the past, "but a number of domestic animals have been missing lately, and Uncle Holder suspects that there may be wild beasts or even otherworldly species in the vicinity—I've asked Rhubarb to take a look around." ”

"That's right, ahem. As he was speaking, Qianzhou felt a dry itch in his throat again, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Teacher, are you not feeling well?" said Nian nian's watery eyes.

"Maybe it was because I slept on the floor last night, and I was a little cold. Qianzhou didn't take the cough to heart.

"You should pay more attention to your body than care about others. Looking at the girl's slender figure that seemed to break when the wind blew, Qianzhou couldn't help but ramble, "Don't always sit when you're fine, exercise more when you have time, and the nutrition of the food should be balanced, don't be picky eaters......"

Inadvertently, Qianzhou has really regarded this simple and clean girl as a student in her heart. I don't know if it's his delusion, but his face was a little paler than yesterday.

"I see. In the past, he smiled bitterly and accepted the teacher's kindness, "It's just that my physique is innate, and it is difficult to recuperate by external forces." ”

Qianzhou frowned and thought for a while, then said, "In the past, do you remember the weak-looking little white face of the other two boys who came with me?"

Although she wanted to say "Teacher, you are also quite like a little white face", but out of the idea of respecting the teacher, she still followed Qianzhou's meaning and said: "Teacher, do you mean Brother Xuan Ce?"

"It's him, he's a disciple of the Doctor after all, and it might be helpful to have him check it out for you. ”

"Wouldn't that be too much of a hassle. Former years hesitated.

"What's the trouble, we are safe thanks to your help. It should be us who is in trouble, and besides, ......" As if thinking of something, Qianzhou's face darkened, "I haven't settled accounts with him about him testing my medicine in Luntai!"

Although Qianzhou said it fiercely, in fact, he did not have Jiang Xuance's anger. After all, the situation was urgent, and there was no other way. This is more to dispel the concerns of the past.

Although he was still a little hesitant in the past, he nodded and agreed at the insistence of his own teacher.

"Slow down. After sitting for a long time, he suddenly got up, and his body couldn't help but shake a little. Qianzhou hurriedly reached out to hold the girl's shoulder.

The palm of his hand inadvertently swept over the satin-like crimson hair of the past, and the good touch made Qianzhou rise with a cat-like impulse. Qianzhou was curious about the girl's lineage—she was obviously an Oriental person, and her hair was indeed as gorgeous as the sunset. This kind of color has only been seen in anime before.

"Teacher, you can let go. The glutinous voice of the past woke Qianzhou from his contemplation.

Qianzhou hurriedly let go of his hand, he was not Lolita, and he didn't want to be misunderstood.

The two walked out the door, only to find that it was evening before they knew it. The sun clings to the horizon like a sparkling piece of rubite. The blazing light has also become gentle.

Unobstructed by clouds, the sunset erupts from the sky like fireworks, plowing the blue sky into dazzling ditches. The red and blue sky is like ink smudging open, and the two colors go from dark to light, and then from light to dark—I am afraid that only the most romantic painter would dare to paint a painting beyond reality with such a bold technique.

The glow of the sun was reflected in the satin-like hair of the past, and I don't know if her hair was woven into the sunset, or if she draped the sunset over her shoulders.

"Two or Three Theories of Essentia"

[essentia] is actually a general term, just like Reiki, mana, Yuanqi, and Qi...... It's all the same as different regions/different practices for Dayuan. The spiritual power of Taoism, the true essence of martial arts, and the magic power of magicians...... All of these can be collectively referred to as essentia.

These different forces are all essentially the same - the product of the interaction of the soul with the transcendent ladder dominated by the will of the individual. In other words, the unscientific power of essentia is actually quite idealistic.

Most of the transcendental beings' use of essentia is based on the medium of essentia, interfering with reality with their minds.

For example, it is like the most basic spell, whether it is igniting a fire out of thin air, or suddenly summoning a stream of water, or causing plants to grow wildly and the earth to freeze - the result of these is because Essentia interferes with the real world.

In the face of such abnormal interference, the world will spontaneously correct it. Therefore, the transcendent needs to constantly pay essentia to counteract the world's corrections to maintain the results of this interference. The more powerful the supernatural ability, the greater the interference in the world, so more essentia is needed to maintain it.

Until the end of the spell (or before it is destroyed), these phenomena are real. The flame can be heated, and the water stream can be drunk. However, once the use of essentia is discontinued to maintain this result, these anomalies will be corrected by the world in an instant.

It is important to note that the world is correcting the phenomena themselves, not the results of them.

It's like setting the forest on fire with a fire. When this ability is stopped, the flames created by essentia will disappear immediately. But there are burnt trees, as well as flames that arise from the wood being heated to the ignition point.
