The name of the next day's lesson was Moji, and Bright had only asked Paul about it to find out what it meant by the Basic Theory of Magic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The main door of the classroom was pushed open, and into it was a lean old man, who was a magician by the badge on his chest. Brody, an earth magician, is not outstanding in the entire academy, but he is not known for his magic level, but for his theoretical achievements in the magic system.

"Elemental magic, mainly the use of various elements, the four single elements are well known, the water element, the earth element, the air element, and the fire element. Different combinations of single elements derive six composite elements, the thunder element of water and fire, the fire element of fire and earth, the dark element of earth and wind, the ice element of wind and water, and the green element of water and earth. The magic element is a kind of energy that exists in space, and the use of magic is to make one's spiritual power resonate with the energy of the magic element in the outside world, so as to produce the corresponding magic effect within a certain space range. ”

In contrast, the classification of arcane magic is much more complicated, and Morcha divides arcane magic into six major systems in "Introduction to Arcane", namely protection, alchemy, summoning, soul, change and prophecy, and each major system is divided into more than a dozen sub-departments. Among them, the undead and spiritual spells are all classified into the soul system, while enchantment, space, and disintegration are all swept into the alchemy system. This classification was opposed by the highly respected academic wizard Comanche at the time, who believed that elemental magic mainly relied on magic to guide the corresponding attribute elements, and spiritual power only played the role of communicating elements. Arcane magic, on the other hand, is more dependent on the control of various spells by mental power. The soul realm should be the ultimate direction of all arcane magic, and it is obviously not appropriate to list a single soul line. However, if the soul system is removed, there is no way to classify spiritual spells, illusions, hypnots, etc. Comanche's point is that there is no perfect classification of arcane magic, and that most of the spells are interconnected and interconnected. ”

"In short, both elemental magic and arcane magic are a tool for humans to understand the world. As a small human being who knew nothing about the world at first, he has been constantly trying to understand the world with his own mind. What we call magic is the ability to use mental power to induce external forces to change the world through some kind of ritual. Nowadays, human life basically relies on magic to complete the cognition and transformation of the world, and it is clear that magic is more suitable for our needs, measurable, precisely controllable and reproducible. However, the theoretical research on fighting spirit has never reached such a high level. ”

"Here, what I want to teach you is not magic spells, since the three thousand years of magic to now, magic below the fifth level has long been written into various textbooks, of course, it is not magic skills, those things need to be comprehended by yourself in battle, not in the classroom. What I'm going to teach you is the basic theory of magic. It may seem boring, but it will determine whether your magical path will be smooth or not. What kind of magic can make the most of your own strengths? How can the syllables in spells be combined and read together to save spell casting time? How can students with talent below the D level use their expertise to squeeze out a space of their own in the dharma? After listening to my class, these problems will be solved!"

"As for this lesson, let's first learn the basic theoretical knowledge of various elemental magics. ”

Bright was in good spirits, and he had also studied the combination and use of various elemental magics by himself, but it was all his own random thinking, and it was not systematic at all, and there was no logic at all. This course allows him to understand his own shortcomings in the way of thinking through comparison, which is a very good learning opportunity.

After coordinating with Darko, Bright controlled all the time, taking notes while listening to lectures, perfecting his logical thinking skills.

……

The third day of the class was the philosophy of magic, taught by Magician Sailly, who cut straight to the point as soon as he entered the classroom.

"Before the Demonic Revolution, most mages believed that in order to release magic, one needed to recite a spell in its entirety. But it turns out that these are all prejudices from the Middle Ages, and modern magical science has long proven that the role of spells in the casting of magic is not as important as people think. However, it is not surprising that in the Amecian plane before the Demon Revolution, people who did not have access to new ideas firmly believed in the old dogmas. ”

Celestial Magus is a teaching instructor who is famous for studying curseless spell casting, and Brett has heard before that Sailly can silently cast fifth-level magic at his own level, while most other magicians of the same level as him can only silently cast third-level magic, which is enough to show Cerly's research results on curseless spellcasting, although his silent casting of fifth-level magic is based on extending the casting time, but it still can't hide the advantage in actual battle. Spellless casters have a greater advantage over spell casting, both in terms of concealment and suddenness, and are not easily interrupted.

"One of the most important achievements since the Demon Revolution was to break the superstition that spells must be recited in order to cast magic, which largely removed the burden that had been on the magician for 5,000 years, freeing more energy and creativity from the bondage. To this day, spellcasting without spells is no longer the prerogative of high-level magicians, nor is it limited to low-level magic, and theoretically, even forbidden spell-level magic can be silent. Contemporary magicians who still insist on using spells to cast first-level magic, except for some archaeologists who are not ancient, are basically inscriptionists. ”

Mentor Sailly always looks at things from a historical perspective, which makes Bright very suspicious that Selly himself is what he calls a "quaint archaeologist"? Of course, doubt is doubt, but Bright is still very interested in silent magic and instantaneous magic.

"Speaking of which, we all know that as long as you have mental power and magic power, you can cast magic and become magicians. Spiritual power is the power that comes from the soul, and magic power is the source of power for magic to be activated. We also know that the three elements of spellcasting are spells, mental power, and magic power. However, few people have thought about what kind of role the spell spell plays in the process of the magician's casting, and whether it is indispensable? Is it true that the function of the spell spell is only when the mage is reciting the spell, so as to adjust his elemental frequency to facilitate the construction of the spell model, can it be understood that the spell holding is actually self-hypnosis in disguise?

"In the years after the Demonic Revolution, countless magicians began their endless research. In the end, it was discovered that the spell was indeed a form of self-hypnosis when magic worked. In the process of sorting out the magic spells of different races, it was discovered that many magical languages had different pronunciations, but the tone remained the same, a phenomenon that was traced all the way back to the origins of magic. The magic used in the Ametsia plane first came from the demons, and later spread to the dragons and elves, transliterated into dragons and elves, and finally learned by humans through the elves. And long before the contract war, the demon race was jointly wiped out by various races. Because it is too old, people don't recognize the demon language at all, so they can only study the dragon language and the elf language, and use the homonyms in the human language to memorize. Therefore, the magic pronunciation of human beings only has meaning for themselves, and the function of the spell is to hypnotize themselves and then adjust the frequency of their own mental power to build a spell model. ”

"However, it was later discovered that there are many magics whose homonyms have long been very different from the demon language in the historical evolution, but it is still useful, and may even be more useful than the demon language. I think that this particular syllable may be more in line with the frequency of self-hypnosis, so it has been passed down, and the syllables that remain are naturally more frequent. This is not because a specific magical language is required to perform a certain spell, but because the function of these specific syllables is to slowly direct a person to a specific frequency, just like breath channeling. ”

"In my research on foreign languages, I found that there is a problem with Elven and Dragon languages, and after experiments, their languages are not as perfect as we imagined to be the triggers of magic, but are not as homophonic as humans have figured out. The reason may be that they have more powerful mental power, which is convenient for guiding the magic power in the body, and the sensing and manipulation of natural elements are more relaxed, so the elves and dragons are not so eager to explore the specific frequency of specific syllables, so the fit for the magic trigger mechanism is weaker. Humans who are not sensitive to psychic energy don't have that talent, so they need to optimize spells to increase their casting speed and efficiency. ”

"A small number of genius mages, using magic perception and fit far beyond ordinary people, can achieve the same hypnotic effect by shortening the spell, so as to complete the compression of the spell casting time. High-level magic tends to be lengthy, perhaps related to the delicate constitution and soul of human beings. Because self-hypnosis is a method of constantly adjusting people to the most suitable frequency for casting spells, in this process, the human body itself is constantly adapting to the elemental frequency. It's just that perhaps because low-level mages have not yet mastered the art of self-hypnosis, they need to use their voices to assist in hypnotizing themselves. This is the reason why it is easier for high-level magic to achieve silent and instantaneous magic than low-level magic. From this logic, if human beings have different forms of channeling, then whether or not they chant mantras is not the most important thing. As long as you get closer to a certain frequency faster in some way, spells can be discarded altogether. ”

Brett was speechless for a moment, and he realized that Sailly's so-called "few genius mages" meant himself. Finally, Mentor Sailly concluded, "What is important in the casting of magic is not the spell, but the psychic ability to sense and harness the elements. The stronger the ability to sense the elements, and the faster they approach a certain frequency and state, the faster they can cast spells. Theoretically, as long as people hypnotize themselves in their minds, adjust their mental power to a frequency suitable for issuing spells, and have enough mana, even forbidden spells can be silent, or even instantaneous!"

At the end of the lesson, Selly drew a tempting pie in front of many students, and although even he knew that it was almost impossible to do such a thing, this arrogant assumption would inspire these students to devote themselves to learning with greater enthusiasm.

……

On the fourth day, the Contract Taxonomy course, Phila Magus instilled in the students a whole bunch of various contract spells as soon as he came up.

"Contracts change the world, and contracts also affect the way we live, change the relationships between people, and reduce all complicated human relationships to the laws that can be circled by numbers and equations - transactions! Even the legendary powerhouses who have gone on solo expeditions need to return to places of their kind to trade for the resources they need after finding their treasures, not to mention the gods who trade their faith with their rituals. ”

Magician Phila is clearly a faithless mage who only worships power. They admired the legendary powerhouses without any reverence for the gods. She cleared her throat and continued, "Guaranteed justice in the trade was the law of the nation based on the large population before the age of the gods, but it was limited to the weak. The combat power of a strong man is comparable to that of hundreds or thousands of ordinary soldiers, and when many strong men are gods in the plane, the number of people can no longer be the basis for ensuring the implementation of the law, so the contract has become a common method of notarized transactions. ”

Phila released a magical projection on the podium, clearly marking the various branches of the contract, "After thousands of years of development, people's research on contracts has entered a systematic stage, and the classification of contracts is also diverse. According to the continuity of time, it can be divided into instant contract and delayed contract, which is commonly used in the ordinary currency trading system, and the two parties reach a transaction in a short time. Delayed contracts are often used as loans, promises, and summonings, and master-slave contracts, master-servant contracts, master-slave contracts, marriage contracts, and so on all belong to this category, and in fact prophecy can also be classified as delayed contracts. According to the different forms of formation, it is divided into blood contract and soul contract, which is commonly known as blood contract and spirit contract, blood contract binds the body, and spirit contract binds the soul. There are often some secret methods that can unbind the blood contract by cutting hair and washing the marrow, and even some professions with strong souls can directly change their bodies to break the contract. There is no loophole in this regard, because the shattering of the soul represents the complete end of a life. It's just that the signing of the spiritual contract requires the guidance of the spiritual power of both parties to the transaction, and it is obvious that ordinary people cannot skillfully guide their spiritual power, so generally speaking, the commonly used contracts are mainly blood contracts. From the point of view of the way to ensure the execution, the contract of the gods and the contract of the law are well known, as for the consequences of renunciation, the contract of the law is all obliterated, and the person who violates the contract is like exceeding the upper limit of the power of the plane, and will be rejected and attacked by the entire plane. The contract of the gods has its own different punishments, but it mainly depends on the mood of the gods at the time. From this, we can see that the covenant of the gods is clearly not rigorous, and that the gods will undoubtedly favor their own clergy. But the advantage of the contract of the gods is also that it is not rigorous, and the parties to the transaction can complete the steps of entering into the contract only through the words of instant promise. The legal contract needs to be written in written form and strictly in accordance with the contract format, which is obviously more troublesome for such a time-consuming and labor-intensive step, so the legal contract is usually only used in important transactions. ”

The magic bell rang, and Phila had no choice but to end the imaginative course early, "That is to say, as long as you are prepared to pay the corresponding price, you can completely break the contract." There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no pie in the sky. All we can do is to walk tremblingly between gains and losses. When you first make the choice to stick with or give up, your life really begins. And the purpose of learning the contract is to help you choose between trustworthiness and breach of trust in the future!

In the bell of the end of class, Bright was still learning all kinds of contract spells by rote. The pact spirit has no substance, and summoning the pact spirit is only a first-level summoning technique, which can be used by magic apprentices. Although it didn't have a direct effect on improving his strength, at least he learned a little more magic, he comforted himself.

……

Day 5, Humanities and Social Sciences. The sorcerer of Sariwala, who was as muscular as a samurai, stood on the podium and smashed a thick copy of the "Theory of Blood" on the lectern, directly telling the knowledge of the various bloodlines of Amecia.

"Boys, you'll all go out for trials in two or three years, and you'll be exploring the planes after you graduate. But when you walk on your own path, it will definitely overlap with other people's paths, and friction and conflict will inevitably arise. What are you going to do then? Magic and fists to speak, of course!"

After listening to the teacher's words, most of the students raised their arms and waved their fists to coax, and the classroom was in chaos for a while. The classes were very serious a few days ago, and suddenly there was such an amiable teacher, and the students were very happy.

"Fart! All of this is bullshit!" Sariwala's shout was accompanied by a mental shock, shaking the excited students dizzy, he looked at the students in the audience with a cruel smile, Darko's soul was protected by trust, but his ears were also buzzing, "The reckless man who only relies on force has long since died! Our world operates in the law, so conflicts cannot be solved by force alone, especially for some people who have a huge family power behind them." It may be easy to kill one of them, but it means that you have a feud with a large family, and if you ask for a ransom according to the unspoken rules, you can not only gain more, but also gain the respect of the opposing forces. The purpose of today's lesson is the same as teaching you the contract, which is to let you make corresponding expectations and rational judgments before you choose, so as to prevent you from doing things that you will regret for the rest of your life!"

"We mix on the mainland, we want to eat openly, or we want to live longer. First of all, we must know which families should not be provoked, and what family names should not be provoked! If we do not understand history, we will probably die without knowing how we died. Sariwala opened his heavy book and began to talk about the theory of blood, "All the great families of the world are built on the foundation of strong bloodlines, and bloodlines are divided into three categories. They are the Holy Beast Bloodline, the Divine Bloodline, and the Legendary Bloodline. The bloodline of the holy beast is popularly said to be the atavistic phenomenon, but whenever the level of the demonic beast reaches the holy level, it can change into a human form and produce offspring with humans, and such descendants will have the bloodline of the corresponding demonic beast, and the bloodline of the holy beast of the Amecia plane has three families, Phoenix, Stuart and Harris. And the Divine Bloodline and the Legendary Bloodline, as the name suggests, are the descendants of the Divine and the Legendary Strong. Although on the surface, it is stronger than a saint-level demonic beast, the stronger the bloodline, the more difficult it is to produce offspring, which is actually a balance caused by the law of plane derivation. That's why there are thirteen gods in the Amecian plane, but there are only two gods in the Lopez and Saxon bloodlines. As for the legendary bloodline, since the Demon Revolution, there has been a period of many saint-level promotion legends, resulting in multiple families with legendary bloodline inheritance, but due to some characteristics of the legendary bloodline, the bloodline decay rate is also the fastest. Until now, only the four major families of Gafreshak, Roche Clenmentin, Cappadocia, and Nike Remmons have maintained a strong bloodline, and these four surnames are the real names of the once legendary powerhouses, and they introduced the laws contained in their real names into the bloodline when they fell, thus giving birth to the legendary bloodline. In essence, it is equivalent to the decomposition of its descendants and the inheritance of those powers, and the more descendants there are, the weaker the bloodline. As a family member of the legendary bloodline, it is a little different from the other two bloodlines, that is, the bloodline power is not congenitally fixed, but will be acquired, and the higher the level, the more proportion of the bloodline power can occupy. There have also been examples in history of legendary powerhouses among the descendants of legendary bloodlines, when the bloodlines of the other members of the entire family all decayed, and most of them even fell unconscious. ”

"Compared with the powerhouses of the same generation, the Divine Bloodline is relatively weaker due to the suppression of the laws of the plane. In comparison, the descendants of the Holy Beast Bloodline and the Legendary Bloodline are stronger. There must be many heirs of excellent bloodlines here, and what I want to say is that you should not be complacent because of what I said, you are growing much faster than ordinary people, but it is not your own strength, but the power left by your ancestors. Excellent bloodline is both an advantage and a disadvantage, and when you reach the level that is limited by the purity of your bloodline, you will encounter a bottleneck and will no longer be able to eat, sleep, sit and wait for the level to increase. At that time, you have to work hard like ordinary people, think of the ancestor who left you with excellent blood! There was no bloodline to assist him before, and he also reached that height! You have to tell yourself at this time! You can too! If you want to become a strong person, you must first have a strong heart!"

Darko didn't listen to the lesson, and he had a last name wrapped around his ears, Nike Remmons! Only now did he understand what a behemoth was behind this last name.

……

On the sixth day, the math of magic is taught by the Kaku Magister, who directly unleashes the magic projection, and then begins to assign numbers to the ranks of the magicians and mages in the dazzling branches.

"Mana has the smallest unit, which is the basic element. By the amount of elements required for each magic, we were able to measure it, so that a magic apprentice could only release one level 1 magic with mana, while a junior magician could release three level 1 magic. It may seem like a triple-fold relationship, but it's not. There are slight differences in the mana required for the first level of magic in different departments, although small but not negligible, with the fireball technique consuming the least mana and the lightning strike technique the most. When the level reaches the Magister, if you don't consider the recovery of mana, you can release seven hundred and thirty fireball spells, but you can only release seven hundred and twenty-eight lightning strike spells......"

Listening to Kaku's story, Bright thought so. As he consulted the textbook, he calculated on paper in his own way that the magic power of a junior magician was equivalent to three fireball spells, the magic power of an intermediate magician was equivalent to nine fireball spells, the magic power of a senior magician was equivalent to twenty-seven fireball spells, and the magic power of a great magician was equivalent to eighty-one fireball spells. It is also a fourth-level magic, one ice cage is equivalent to twenty-four fireball techniques, and a blizzard is equivalent to twenty-nine fireball techniques. Since Bright's current body can't recover his mana by drinking medicine, he must be careful about his magic power in battle, and make a reasonable combination of magic, so that he can release more magic before squeezing out his mana to the maximum.

……

The seventh day of classes was in the dissection room, and the classroom was moved to a circular classroom. The instructor's dissection table is located in the center of the circular classroom, and a large magical image plays out the details of the dissection table above it, so that each student can see the instructor's demonstration. Each student had a three-tailed dingo corpse in front of them, and Wizard Komu demonstrated it to the students at the center.

"Whether we're fighting monsters or collecting useful materials after killing them, we can't do without understanding their physiology. Today's systematic anatomy course is to teach us the physiology of various Warcraft, through the study of this course, we can know the weaknesses of each Warcraft, and how to collect valuable things from them. Because of the large number of three-tailed wild dogs, they are a representative of small mammalian monsters, and this is what we are about in this lesson. After Wizard Komu finished speaking, he began to explain while dissecting.

Seeing a three-tailed wild dog gradually transform into a pile of tendons, internal organs, and nerves under the hands of the Komu Magister, many of the trainees turned pale, and some even vomited directly. Perhaps because he was used to seeing zombies in the hell of the dead, Bright didn't feel disgusted, but looked very carefully. He remembered the time when Darko and Phyllis hunted the Light Unicorn together, and the process of gathering materials was obviously an important step. At Darko's strong request, Brett took great care to learn the dissection steps of small mammalian monsters, and memorized the species that could harvest special materials from such monsters, after all, Phyllis said that if Darko was to be the logistics manager, these things must be studied carefully.

……

Brett and Darko learn all sorts of magic every day, most of which have nothing to do with actual combat. But they know that the discovery of magic in the future is inseparable from the accumulation of magic theory in the present. Especially after experiencing the depression of memory loss, which has nowhere to vent, this busy and fulfilling college life is like heaven for Dako.

And just like that, time passed quietly.
