Chapter 18: The Room to the Roots
(Thank you Mrs. Leck I love you, book friends 150***580, Quiet World, Phantom Dance Yusheng, and Tears Mu Ling for their monthly ticket support!)
After passing through the pale blue portal, Charlotte arrives in a dark room. Although the room was dark, it was difficult for Charlotte, who had dark vision, and he noticed that the house was more cramped than the study, only about six square meters, and there was a golden throne with a backrest in the center of the room, and nothing else.
There was no other way to think of it than to sit on the throne, and after taking a closer look at the empty walls on all four sides, Charlotte came to the conclusion above. So he sat down on the throne and waited for the next change.
The changes soon followed, first of all, a soft glow suddenly bloomed in the dark room, a mechanical arm stretched out from the bottom of the throne to lift the throne into the air, a writing board extended from the armrest of the throne, and the diary that was supposed to be outside was teleported to the board, and the pale blue portal was closed.
Even more shocking changes were yet to come, the four empty walls suddenly turned into holograms, and on one of the walls there was an image of the swaying of aquatic plants, and there were some huge figures hidden under the aquatic plants, most likely the legendary Sleepless Legion.
But Charlotte's mind was drawn to three other walls.
On the three walls, there are images of various books and handwritten books, and the images of spell experience notes such as "Traces of Illusion and Mind Spells", "Tracing the Origin of Time and Space Spells", and "Tracing the Origin of Necromancy and Law Spells" are vividly visible. Charlotte subconsciously clicked to the image of "Illusion and Mind Spell Origin", and the mechanical arm under the throne lifted the throne in front of the holographic screen as if it understood Charlotte's mind.
With a tap of a finger, the holographic screen rippled at the moment it was clicked, and then, the graphics and text of "Illusion and Mind Spell Traceability" dimmed, and a book with a golden cover appeared out of thin air on the writing board in front of the throne.
Sylvia seems to have sealed these precious spellbooks in secret rooms with a time-space spell, and can be accessed whenever needed by tapping on the holographic screen.
At this time, Charlotte's entire mind was already on "Illusion and Mind Spell Traceability". He spread out the book with a pilgrimage mood, Juanxiu's handwriting was indeed written by Sylvia, and in the opening chapter, the book talked about Sylvia's tracing and exploration of the principles of the faction's spells after arriving at the legend, and it was a spell note that paid more attention to theoretical knowledge.
Charlotte continued to read, and soon Sylvia was telling her own understanding of illusion and the mind. What is the inner workings of illusions, and how do mental spells affect the memories and emotions of the operator?
At the beginning, the elaboration is relatively superficial, and it seems that some of Sylvia's ideas and experiments when she first entered the legend, but the later you go, the more obscure the theory becomes. Eventually, Sylvia has begun to explore the roots of illusion and mind, and has begun to seek a way to challenge the Root King.
Charlotte's eyes were opened to those wonderful theories and ideas, such as her belief that illusion is not just a matter of shadows, but that everything can be used in the environment, psychology, language, and body movements...... Anything that causes hints or influences on the other party can be classified as illusions. According to her understanding, even some psychological warfare in street gambling falls under the category of illusion.
As she wrote, the power of the Shadow was only one of the most widely used forms of illusion. So what is the real workings of illusion and the mind? Is there something more rooted in the shadows, the body, the language, the environment? Sylvia made a series of bold guesses and elucidations.
Of course, it is impossible for Charlotte to become the king of the roots by relying on this book alone, as mentioned above, the way to achieve the king of the roots is more idealistic, and it is impossible to copy the experience of the predecessors. But this book opened up a whole new field for Charlotte, and after becoming a legend, what he lacked was the knowledge and information above the legend.
And this hidden room has everything he needs right now!
Even though the secrets of the Legion of the Sleepless were close at hand, he had completely forgotten his original intention and devoted himself to the study of these precious spells. Hungry and thirsty, he forgot to sleep and eat in his current state, he finished studying the book in one breath before going out to wash and eat, and after only three hours of rest, he couldn't wait to come to the secret room to continue studying.
After thoroughly reading one and then moving on to the next, there are not many books in the secret room, but each one is a treasure that can make the legends fight for their lives. It's like a martial arts cheat left by a peerless master, full of temptation for legendary mages.
Sylvia has a wide range of knowledge, having learned time-space spells from Rusen, necromancy and law-based spells from her teacher Iger, and a member of the Forest of Illusions to study the hidden solitary book left behind by Eleni. In addition to that, she still has a lot of research on the rest of the spell types.
This peerless genius who has a whimsical but reasonable understanding of spells, even if he has long known how powerful his sister is, but the more she learns, the more Charlotte admires her depth and breadth of knowledge. He truly realized what Sylvia said in the book, that the legend was the real beginning.
Her ideas and ideas are gradually absorbed by Charlotte, and in the process of learning, Charlotte constantly verifies her past spell system and finds many blushing loopholes. With the rapid evolution of memory processing, his spell system has become more and more solid and rounded, and the sharp and angular qi that was originally used when casting spells has been polished and rounded, gradually approaching the top realm of natural perfection.
In a flash, it was three months.
Charlotte had barely dealt with anything in the past three months, not even the Legion of Sleepless Men who were close at hand, and had just eagerly absorbed Sylvia's knowledge. He also summarized and sorted out, removed the chaff and retained the essence, and included the fields that were suitable for him into his own system, and put aside those fields that were not suitable for him or thought that he had different opinions for the time being, and left them for future exploration.
This is a very sensible move. Don't look at Sylvia's strength and knowledge far beyond Charlotte, but it doesn't mean that her theory is completely correct or suitable for herself. If Charlotte had taken all the theories as a guideline, the results would have been predictable.
He will never be the closest mage to Sylvia, and he will not be able to explore a new path.
Eventually, Charlotte, who was making rapid progress, began to build a self-consistent system of spells, and at the same time, she had a vague idea of the root domain of future challenges.
This kind of learning ability and progress is terrifying! Many people who have been in the saga for many years may not be able to make the progress that Charlotte has now, all of which is also due to the solid foundation of memory processing and starry sky meditation. In addition to the lack of accumulation of the magic energy pool, at this time, he had reached the level of spell-casting ability and theoretical knowledge that was almost no different from that of a thousand-year-old legend.
On this day, Elle's sudden message finally brought Charlottra, who was obsessed with learning, back to the real world.
"Hey, madman! Claire wants me to tell you that the core followers of the Black Lord have been found!"
Charlotte suddenly realized that three months had passed, and he looked at himself in the mirror with a scruffy beard, and had to resist the urge to stay at home for the rest of his life, and began to implement the original plan.
