Chapter 7: The Theory of Magic
Falling into the ocean of knowledge may be a happy thing, you can constantly learn new things and magical magic, but for Luo Wei, these days in the ocean of knowledge is like taking a bath in salt water, as long as one mouth will be filled with salt water until suffocation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Rowe, who was once very lost, got an important piece of news from the book the next day: about the opening of the magic circuit.
That's what a book called "Bloodlines and Magic Circuits" says: "Most of the magic circuits of a magician are inherited from the previous generation, but we cannot know what his magic circuits are like when he is born, and how many they are, and we can only teach a child how to open magic circuits and open his magic circuits when he grows up to understand the words of adults." ”
In other words, if you don't open the magic circuit, you won't feel the existence of a magic circuit in your body.
After learning this, Luo Wei's previous haze was instantly swept away. It's not that I was born without a magic circuit, but I haven't opened a magic circuit yet, although my ancestors are not a powerful magician, but my parents are also magicians, although it is the lowest level, it also means that there is a magic circuit, you can use magic, how can you not have a magic circuit?
But happy moments are always short-lived, and Rowe rummaged through books on magic circuits, spending a whole day looking for what should be the most basic thing, but couldn't find it.
In the end, Luo Wei could only conclude that this was something that only existed by word of mouth, and that the method of opening the magic circuit should have been passed down orally by magicians from generation to generation.
The problem was that Rowe's parents didn't tell him how to open the magic circuit.
So Luo Wei once again found himself in an awkward position. Knowing the method, but not knowing how to do it, makes people maddened to tear up the whole book.
However, due to the time constraints, when the time came for the Clock Tower Library to close, Rowe was kicked out by the administrator. When he got home, Rovi quickly ate the dinner that X had brought back and lay down in bed trying to fall asleep.
The next day, Rowe woke up before dawn, and X in the room didn't know where he went, and Rowe didn't pay much attention to it, just put on his clothes and left the house to the British Museum, where the Tower of Clocks is located. The doors of the library were opened early, which made it easier for Rowe to continue his swim in the ocean of knowledge.
Since the method of opening the magic circuit is not recorded in the book, I will have to wait to ask Lecturer Ermelo later. So putting that aside for a moment, reading more books about battle magic is what Rowe should be doing now.
After skipping the magic circuit, there are a large number of specialized books, and although these things can be collectively called magic, they can be subdivided into countless specialized subjects.
From alchemy, healing, curses, puppet making, elemental manipulation, magic array diagrams, interpretation of extra-elemental attributes, magic engraving some orthodox magic, to necromancy, insect magic, madness magic, gem magic, projection magic and other relatively rare magic categories, and even love magic, food magic, which don't seem to be left to magic.
The first thing that caught Luo Wei's eye was a book called "Magic Attributes", which explained the relationship between magic circuits and magic physique. The magic elements that a magician can control will change according to their own magic constitution, and generally speaking, the types of magic elements can be divided into five types: earth, water, fire, wind, and air. And in addition to this, there is the existence of the special attribute of the sword.
Different elements can create different ways to use magic, and depending on the stats, the magician will gain bonuses to his abilities in different environments.
Generally speaking, magicians will have one or two magic attributes, although the number of magic attributes does not affect how much success the magician can have, but there are also magicians who have all five attributes, this magic constitution is called "AverageOne", which means the five elements.
After that, there is the "List of Common Battle Magic", which introduces a kind of magic called Gandr, which was originally a curse magic spell derived from Northern Europe, roughly pointing a finger at the other party, it will make people sick and cursed, which is a kind of non-lethal magic, just a little interference, and when the magician cultivates this magic to a certain extent, he can turn the invisible curse attack into an entity, and cast a blow collectively known as FIN, and the powerful magician can directly damage the enemy through this move.
Luo Wei absorbed all this knowledge into his mind, and the more he understood, the more Luo Wei felt the breadth and profundity of magic knowledge, and some magic tricks could even make people live longer and break the boundaries of ordinary physical existence. However, on the other hand, no matter how powerful the magic is, the price is also expensive.
"The Magic of Life" records some things about the head of the Maqiri family of the Holy Grail War: "The head of the Maqiri family, Machiri Zorgen, later renamed Makiri, is a monster who has actually survived for more than 500 years. He called this magic of longevity the art of immortality, and by turning himself into something else that was not human, and devouring the flesh of other people when his lifespan reached the limit, he was able to survive, and he parasitized on other people's bodies like a parasite, devouring the host at the moment when it was about to die, turning it into food for his own survival. ”
"This is really excessive....." commented, Luo Wei closed the book, looked at the sky outside the window, and it was night again.
But I always feel that I haven't understood much in the past day, tracing back to the origin, magic has developed to the present at least a thousand years of history, and the amount of knowledge accumulated for thousands of years is incomparably huge, Luo Wei knows that what he knows now is not even a corner of the magic world, and even if it is the Clock Tower Library, there is magic that has not been recorded, if you want to delve deeper into magic, you may need to go to every corner of the world.
However, that is too impractical for the current Rowe.
"Rovi, are you still in the library?" Walking past Rowe was Lecturer Ermeiro, who occasionally came to the library, and the few books he was holding in his hand didn't seem to be the books here, maybe just looking for some reference materials.
"Hello lecturer. "Anyway, say hello first.
"Rovi, I have already agreed with the current head of the family, you come to my room the day after tomorrow to find me, and I will take you to meet the parents of the Ermeiro family. Ermelo II glanced at the book Rowe was reading and suggested: "If you have time, look through the books on the A-207 shelf, it will be useful for beginners." ”
Luo Wei nodded, since the lecturer gave advice, it would be best to go and see for himself. Lecturer Ermelo didn't stop long, and after making a suggestion, he slowly walked out of the library.
Relying on the label on the shelf, Rowe found the bookshelf of A-207, which did not contain many books, but the name was peculiar because they were not books about magic, but books about how to understand magic books.
"The Reasons for the Existence of Magic Arguments and Paradoxes", "Interpreting the Theory of Opposites", and "The Contradictions in Magic" are the first three books that Luo Wei singled out, which tell about some of the things that often exist in the magic world: arguments, arguments, opposites, contradictions.
Sometimes two theories proposed by the same magician are even contradictory, but sometimes when we combine these two theories with each other, new theories of magic will be created, and then new magic will be created. Different magicians have different understandings of the same theory, which leads to arguments and arguments, and the two will separate their own understandings from the same theory to form two completely different theories.
This is the development process of magic, and now it is no longer from the void to explore, but from the existing magic base, two or more magic theories of the common part of the fusion, into a new theory, and then the new theory of possible development of the direction of the layout, and then decompose it into a new number of theories, in this way, magic can continue to grow, continue to multiply.
And that's what inspired Rowe.
Most of the papers he has written are based on "Magic Transmission" and "Introduction to Magic Array" Two books to write, although it seems to be two completely different types of magic, but the theory of magic transmission can be used on the magic array, in thinking Luo Wei once made such an assumption: through the power of magic transmission, it can be said that multiple magic arrays can be combined into a magic array to use, so as to create a multi-functional magic array, and the magic power it consumes may only be the magic power needed by the magic array, so as to improve the efficiency of the use of magic power, in short, it is the effect of drawing inferences.
That's why Ermelo II would say that Rowe had a talent for magic.
A person's magic talent is not only determined by magic circuits, but also reflected in his magic understanding, mastering one or two magic tricks is not a big skill, and a magician who can understand a variety of magic tricks, and combine and separate them to produce countless new magic tricks, is enough to be called talented.
The most powerful being among the magicians is called the Crowned Magician, and this title is also inherited among the Servants, with the strongest Servants being called the Crowned Servant. And one of the crown servants, GrandCaster: Solomon has such a talent, he can use countless kinds of magic, and can also use the seventy-two demon gods as his own demons, and the power he has is unimaginable, and only such a person is qualified to challenge the most powerful title.
Rowe understood why Ermelo II recommended him to read these books first, this was to let him learn to combine different magic theories, because not all magic theories are suitable for Rovi, in the final analysis, they are other people's theories, and it is not easy to say whether they are suitable for personal use, and what Rowe should do is not to use other people's knowledge step by step, but to combine it with the knowledge he knows, turn it into new theories, and then break it down into countless new magic tricks to become his own type of magic.
In fact, the books in the Library of the Clock Tower are so varied and complex that they are not suitable for mastering them all, and the best case scenario is to combine the complex and diverse theories of magic, and to use them simply, even a great magician like Ermelo II cannot guarantee that he can memorize and use all the magic theories in the library, which is very unrealistic.
However, it was clear that today's time did not allow Luo Wei to read another book, and the caretaker with the lantern came to the library touching, so Luo Wei had to hurriedly put the books back on the shelves and reluctantly left the library.
Back at home, Luo Wei still finished eating the food that X brought back as he did yesterday, and then went to bed.
"Master, isn't there anything to do with me lately..... Do you need something for me?" looked a little bored, because the Master had been leaving early in the morning for the past few days, and when he came back, he fell asleep, as if he had forgotten his existence.
In response to X, Rowe's slight breathing sounded a little, indicating that he had fallen asleep.
The lonely girl can only squat in the corner and spend the night alone.
The night passed, and when Luo Wei woke up, it was still dark outside the window, and he got dressed and went out directly, while X, who was awakened by his movements, watched him leave, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
A refreshed Rowe arrived at the library, and as soon as he arrived as soon as he had calculated the time, the librarian opened the door so that he could enter the ocean of knowledge without wasting a single second.
However, after learning that Lecturer Ermelo will take him to meet the parents of the Ermelo family tomorrow, there is not much time left for him, and the most important thing to do now is to find a way to combine his existing knowledge. And the most abundant knowledge in Luo Wei's mind by now is historical knowledge, as well as the theory of magic transmission and the construction of some magic arrays.
It's not enough to be able to achieve a magic trick that can be fought in a real sense. The Holy Grail War is not only a battle between the Servants, but also the power of the Master, and even in the Subspecies Holy Grail Wars that are now taking place in various places, there have been cases where the Master is stronger than the Servant, and the final winner is not surprisingly the strongest Master.
And projection magic seems to be Rovi's best option right now. The so-called projection magic is to turn the things in one's mind into objective things through magic power, and become one's own combat power.
Of course, the limitations of projection magic are also quite large, one is to see it with your own eyes, know the specific form and ability value of that thing, and the second is to have a considerable amount of magic power, in order to be able to concretize things that do not exist in your mind to the present world, even if it is a small thing, it may be a cup, and the magic power it needs to consume is not a small number. These two limitations make projection magic not a very powerful category of magic.
Speaking of which, when Lecturer Ermelo was lecturing in the past, he said that one of his former students was very good at projection magic, and it seems that he also participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War in the Far East. The name is probably Emiya Shirou, a very Japanese name, but the man graduated from the Clock Tower a long time ago, and is probably practicing magic somewhere in the world.
The heavy book was slammed into the seat next to Rowe, and the man who did so didn't seem to value the important knowledge much.
"You're Lowe Hideley?"
This familiar way of questioning and the obvious female voice made Luo Wei a little afraid to turn his head to look at him.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. ”
Not to mention that Luo Wei had heard this voice, so he knew who it was at the first time, although it was only half a year in the same classroom, but it was difficult for people not to remember the girl's characteristic indifferent face and unusual life experience.
"What's the matter? Miss Miria?"
The third daughter of the Ermelo family, Milia Ermero.
The standard blonde hair is the symbol of the Ermelo family, and the girl is looking at Rowe with a haughty but cold face, her hands crossed and stopped on her chest, a pair of black lace gloves are worn on it, and she is wearing the student uniform of the Clock Tower, and the black color with the cold expression makes Rowe shudder.
"It's nothing, I'm just going to teach you. ”
