Chapter 19: Chen Luo's Conjecture
Chen Luo didn't take the matter of the fireball technique being dispelled by Andre to heart.
High-level magicians, with their strong spiritual power, can directly deprive low-level magicians of elemental control, and at this point, the greater the difference in the level of magicians, the more powerful the low-level magicians will be suppressed.
Beginner magicians may be able to resist this influence a little, and magic apprentices are almost crushed in front of intermediate magicians.
The same goes for a junior mage meets a senior mage.
Therefore, when fighting against high-level magicians, almost no one will be stupid to fight magic with the other party, and magicians who are proficient in melee combat will use martial arts to make up for this gap, and magicians who are not good at melee combat and have a low magic level can only ask for more blessings for themselves.
But for Chen Luo, no matter what level of suppression, it is all floating clouds.
Because it takes time to communicate the magic element, a high-level mage who deprives the element of control is essentially communicating the magic element, and it also requires spells and gestures.
But Chen Luo didn't need it.
If it weren't for taking care of Andre's face, then at such a close distance, Chen Luo could have smashed the fireball on his face when he made the first gesture.
Indestructible, fast and unbreakable, and the same applies to magic.
In many cases, fast is a plus.
......
Each city's magical society has its own library, which is one of their important sources of income.
The magicians came to the Magic Association, and in addition to the certification level, most of them came to the library to consult materials, just like Chen Luo.
After all, the cost of one gold coin per month was expensive, but it was far less than hiring a magical advisor, and they couldn't find a third way to access magical knowledge.
After all, not everyone gets into school.
Chen Luo found the entrance to the library in the northeast corner of the Magic Association, and after showing and mortgaging the library card at the door, he entered the library smoothly.
The borrowing room is small in size, and when you walk through the door, you are greeted by four rows of towering bookshelves filled with books.
On these four bookshelves, there are magic materials of the four departments of earth, fire, wind, and water, and there are many people in front of each bookcase, Chen Luo glanced at it and found that almost all of them were magic apprentices.
Although there is no way to tell the level of a magician at a glance, they can be identified by their magic robes, and after reaching the level of junior magicians, the magic association will embroider a silver thread on the chest of their magic robes at the same time as the certification.
And the magic robe of the magic apprentice is empty.
In addition, magic apprentices are not divided into departments, so the color of their magic robes is different from the four series, earth yellow, fire, red, water, blue, wind blue, and black for magic apprentices.
Chen Luo looked at it, there was not a trace of variegation in his eyes, it was all magic apprentices wearing black magic robes.
The four bookshelves, around the bookshelves belonging to the fire system, have the largest number of people, this is because compared to the other departments, in the early stage of learning magic, the power of fireball magic is undoubtedly the most powerful among the four apprentice magic, and it is naturally the first choice of magic for all magic apprentices.
Generally speaking, only when it is time to be promoted to a junior magician, the magic apprentices will start to learn the magic of other departments according to their own interests, so Chen Luo can simply conclude that many of the other people next to the bookshelf have already touched the threshold of a junior magician.
Chen Luo's eyes scanned the surroundings, and after a slight pause, he walked towards the bookshelf where the fire-type magic books were placed.
Although he is also very interested in the magic of the other three systems, he still understands the truth of being greedy and chewing, and he can stably control ten fireballs to be qualified to learn primary magic, and at present, Chen Luo is struggling to control two fireballs, what he has to do is to increase the number of fireballs that can be controlled first.
Fortunately, the magic information of the Magic Association is very detailed, and only one fireball technique includes fire element communication methods, fire control skills, high-level magician experience, and so on......
In addition, from a single fireball, to a double fireball, to multiple fireball magic, and even some variation magic of the fireball technique, detailed information can be found here, and these are all things that Chen Luo can't see in the textbook.
Glancing at the bookshelf in front of him, Chen Luo knew the value of his gold coin.
Whether you can control more fireballs and release more advanced magic, in addition to the corresponding magic skills and knowledge, the most important thing is mental power, and the latter is much more important than the former.
The common method for magicians to improve their mental power is meditation, there is no shortcut to the improvement of mental power, it is a long process of accumulation, in addition to personal talent, it depends on diligence.
The books and materials of the Magic Association could not be taken out, and could only be consulted in the library, so Chen Luo first chose a copy of "Introduction to Magic" and leaned on the bookshelf to read it.
Teacher Anthony has talked about the theory of magic, but the description of the principle of magic in this "Introduction to Magic" is much more detailed than in the textbook, and Chen Luo also saw some things that were not mentioned in the textbook.
Teacher Anthony once said that there are four major magical elements in the world, namely fengshui, earth and fire, and the four magical elements are the foundation of all magic.
In this "Introduction to Magic", this view is also extended, magicians believe that the four magic elements are not only the basis of all magic, but also the basis of all things, and all other elements are transformed by the combination of the four magic elements in a certain proportion.
In Chen Luo's view, this point of view is obviously nonsense.
The theory of the four magical elements is similar to the "four elements theory" proposed by a certain school of thought in ancient Greece, of course, this view was later proved wrong by science, even if Chen Luo is in a world with magic, but except for magic, everything here is no different from the world he is familiar with.
Of course, Chen Luo did not have a contempt for the scholars of this world because of this.
Some of the concepts that seemed taken for granted to him took many centuries of hard work in another world.
The four-element doctrine was considered correct until the end of the eighteenth century, and the aether was considered to be the medium of light propagation until the end of the nineteenth century, and this concept can be traced back to ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, and since then, this misconception has existed in people's minds for more than 2,000 years.
Science is constantly improving in revision and correction, and if it weren't for the fact that he had another soul in his body, his knowledge of things would not be much better than that of the people here.
The library of the Magic Association was far from being comparable to the library of the St. Donas Academy, and the vast amount of magical materials opened a new door for Chen Luo.
He stayed here until the library closed, and then returned to the academy.
Checking the information in the Magic Association, it is not as easy as Chen Luo expected, many of the things described in the book and respected as the truth by everyone are wrong in Chen Luo's eyes, he can't accept all the content he reads, but to identify it, Chen Luo needs to distinguish at all times, what the book says, which are the real laws of magic, and which are the author's wrong cognitions.
Of course, the understanding of people in this world is not necessarily backward.
Their knowledge of most of the laws of nature is not as good as that of the Middle Ages in another world, but as early as a few hundred years ago, people here realized that the composition of air is not a single substance, but composed of many different substances, you know, in another world, until the seventeenth century, people still simply regarded air as a single substance.
The reason why they have this understanding is because the people here can communicate the magic elements, although they do not recognize the essence of the air, but the basic operation of casting magic is to find various magical elements from the surrounding air, and deal with the air all day long, and they have a comprehensive understanding of the composition of the air.
In just a few hours in the Magic Association, Chen Luo accepted too many new ideas and new knowledge, which made his head swell a little, returned to his own utility room, and after a simple wash, Chen Luo lay on the bed, but did not fall asleep, but began to meditate.
The process of meditation is actually the process of communicating the magic elements, which requires the magicians to spread their mental power and devote themselves to communicating the magic elements floating in the world, which is a process of familiarizing themselves with the magic elements, with the accumulation of time, their spiritual power will be more compatible with the magic elements, which can greatly shorten the speed at which they release magic, and at the same time, their spiritual power will gradually improve little by little in the process of meditation.
Meditation may seem simple, just using mental power to perceive the magical elements around you, but in fact it is not a simple thing.
In the space around the magician, there are not only magical elements, but also impurities that are of no use to release magic.
They call them elemental impurities.
What the magician needs to do is to find the magic element from these elemental impurities that are filled with space, which is not easy for magic apprentices, after all, the magic element does not have the word magic element written on its face, and the world of spiritual perception is actually a chaos, if they treat those impurities as magic elements, they naturally have no way to release magic.
Of course, Teacher Anthony had already taught them how to communicate with the fire element in a space filled with impurities, whether it was a magic element or an elemental impurity, it had its own quality, and they could be easily distinguished according to the quality of the element or elemental impurities.
Chen Luo, who had long been familiar with the Fireball Technique, could already rely on his instinct to accurately find the fire element from the space full of elemental impurities.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He suddenly realized a problem that he had previously overlooked.
The people in this world are obviously wrong about elemental impurities, and Chen Luo knows very well that the things that fill the space and are considered to be elemental impurities are actually the various gases that make up the air.
In Chen Luo's heart, such a bold conjecture suddenly appeared.
Since the elemental impurities are gases, is it possible that the four magical elements are actually some kind of new elements that are not available in another universe?
The air element has the smallest atomic number and the lightest mass, followed by the fire element, followed by the water and earth elements, and the magic of each system is actually a series of chemical reactions based on these four elements?
As for his spiritual power, which is still difficult to understand, it is enough to think of it as a racial talent of humans in this world.
Although he still couldn't figure out what the magic spells and gestures were, Chen Luo didn't need these things to release his own magic, and if he was the object of observation, this conjecture was not without any basis.
Once the seeds of conjecture were planted in Chen Luo's mind, they quickly began to take root and sprout, making more mysteries appear in Chen Luo's heart.
What is the chemistry of fireballing, and does the combustion process require the involvement of oxygen?
What is the difference between water polo condensation and water in nature?
Soil is a mixture, isn't the earth element element?
Wind Elemental ...... , Chen Luo has witnessed Teacher Britney use the wind element to make the stone float, could it be that the wind element is a gas with a lower density than hydrogen?
