Early the next morning, as soon as the hour hand on the wall pointed to seven o'clock, Mu Shilan knocked on Liu Ye's door.

After the sleepy-eyed Liu Ye was hit on the head by the slippers, he followed her very obediently to a quiet room on the south side of the first floor.

The ashram has no windows, and its walls are made entirely of a dark blue stone, surrounded by four lampposts, all in the style of Ming Dynasty lamps, glowing with warm yellow light. On the right side of the room was a bookshelf with about a dozen books, and in the center were a few futons and a small stone table with a few cups on the table. There is a complex magic circle carved on the ground under the small table, which is different from the magic circle that Liu Ye saw in novels and movies and other places, this magic circle is composed of many geometric figures, and when he saw it, Liu Ye's first reaction was not the magic array, but the circuit board.

"Is it here today...... Anyway, there are no windows, isn't it stuffy?" Liu Ye looked around the room and muttered.

Shi Lan clenched the fist of her right hand: "Why are you asking so much-"

"No, no, let's get started, Magister. Liu Ye hurriedly smiled.

"Magister?19-year-old Magister?" Shi Lan, who heard this title, rolled her eyes and turned her back to Liu Ye with a smug smile.

"Okay, then we'll start now, you, sit there. Mu Shilan pointed to the futon closest to the door, Liu Ye nodded and walked over to sit down, while Shilan herself took out a stack of books from the bookshelf on the side and sat opposite him. Today, Shilan put on a pair of black-framed glasses, and suddenly gave birth to a literary temperament.

"First of all, I'm going to give you a little bit more basics about magic. Shi Lan opened the book at the top, "Life is the greatest miracle in the world, and the source of this miracle, we call it life force, in ancient times, people found a special way to refine the life force, the refined life force has a huge energy that can affect the outside, they call it magic." Magic, on the other hand, is the way to use this power. ”

"The basis of magic is the magic form, that is, the ritual of the magic circle, because the first magic is summed up from some naturally formed magic circle. Everything you've seen in the last few days requires a spell to be activated. ”

Liu Ye frowned, in his memory, except for Smith who had used a magic wand, he had not seen any techniques.

"Don't think that the spells are all magic arrays like this!" Seeing Liu Ye's expression, Shi Lan pointed to the ground, "Many techniques have been simplified countless times over a long period of time, a few stones, a few leaves, and even clothes with special costumes can become magic activation techniques, otherwise why do you think I would be dressed like this." Outline. Shilan stuck out her tongue. "And the most common and common technique is the spell. ”

"Enchantment?"

"Well, the spell. Before introducing spells, there is something else that needs to be introduced, the Magic Book. Shi Lan squinted her eyes and searched for it, pulling out the thickest one under the stack, "Well, this is the magic book." ”

"The magic book is a book that records magic spells, and the magic is recorded in the form of words, which is actually the process of creating new spells to replace the original natural spells, and each stroke requires a huge amount of magic power, so only magicians who have reached the pinnacle of magic cultivation can write a magic book. And it often takes decades to write about magic, and these words of magic are spells. ”

"The spells sung by magicians who don't have the ability to create magic come from these magic books. Those magic books written by magicians themselves are called original texts, and other copies are called manuscripts, only original texts have magical powers, and manuscripts are just ordinary books, so manuscripts are very common, but original texts are very precious. ”

"The power of the spell comes from the magicians who created the spell in the first place, and it is they who give the power of word magic. To chant a spell is to borrow power from the original text of the magic book. Shi Lan patted the magic guide book in front of her, "This is a copy, the number of original texts is very rare, and it is rare for ordinary magicians to see one in their lives." ”

"Since the use of the spell is borrowed from the original canon, is it true that as long as the original canon is destroyed, the spell will be invalid?" Liu Ye said.

"Hmm...... Theoretically, yes, but there has never been a case of destruction of the original texts in history. Shi Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "To destroy the original text, it is possible to do so by having more than the original author's magic power sealed in the book, which is the power of a top magician for decades! So, it seems that no one has ever broken the original text. ”

"Is the 'Flower of Heaven' that was stolen before an original text?"

"No, no, it's a magic weapon. ”

"Magic weapon?

"Well, there are many magic weapons, as long as they can carry magic power, they are all magic weapons. Shi Lan flipped her hand, and a small white wand appeared, "The magic weapon can be engraved with a magic array to directly use fixed magic, and the magic wand is the most common magic weapon made of special materials, which can help magicians better control the magic power, and some magic wands made of rare materials also have the effect of increasing strength." As for these directly activated magic, "Shi Lan's wand waved, and an apple-sized water ball was born in front of Liu Ye, "It is through training, using magic power to directly form magic to launch magic." In fact, the essence is magic, not physics. Shi Lan put the water ball on the stone table, and the water ball spread out with a snap, but the table didn't become wet, "But it does have the properties of those substances, which will teach you later." Shi Lan recondensed a water balloon and threw it into a cup on the side, forming a cup of "water".

"This is already a very modern statement, as mentioned earlier, the first magic was summarized from naturally formed arrays, and in ancient times, magicians believed that magic was the result of magic attracting the elemental power of the world, so they named those most basic arrays, 'gold', 'wood', 'water', 'fire', 'earth', 'wind' and 'thunder' in the east and 'water', 'fire', 'earth' and 'air'' in the west Electricity' and so on, are the most primitive and simple arrays, but in the follow-up exchanges, we found that there is actually no difference between these arrays, only the difference in naming, to put it bluntly, there are dozens of basic arrays, but the names are different in various places. ”

"In fact, even in the last century, magic could only be activated by the form of a physical object or the chanting of a spell. "Until sixty years ago, a great magician, known as the god of magic, appeared James J. Clauren. ”

"Prior to this, although people could direct the flow of magic and use it to depict rune arrays to launch magic, it was still very inconvenient, some advanced magic required very complex arrays, and often took a long time to channel, and Clauren proposed a new idea that the will of magicians could directly affect magic and did not have to rely on external magic to guide. This statement seemed crazy at the time, but due to his position in the wizarding world, many people began to try his methods, however, people's willpower was too weak, and a considerable number of people lost control of their magic in the process of attempting and died, and Floweron was also infamous and became a public enemy of his full name, and was attacked and slandered by many people, and he disappeared in the infamy. It wasn't until there was a magical war that swept across Europe in the third year that Floweren stood up again," Shi Lan took a sip of the "water" in the cup, and turned the book to Liu Ye's side, the page showed a magician with long white hair standing on a cliff facing the backs of countless people down the mountain, holding a magic wand nearly two meters high in his hand, and the top of the wand was a pattern of the sun and the moon. "In the war, he showed unparalleled strength, single-handedly destroying almost half of Saruman's troops, a magic that no one had ever seen before. Since then, Claura has been crowned the god of magic, and has established his own magic church 'mirror', which begins to teach how to use magic without a magical guide, and for a time has gained great prestige and attracted many extremely talented young people. But the accident happened ten years later, forty years ago, when the sky-high 'mirror' suddenly attacked the Asian Magic Federation, causing the deaths of several high-level magicians. ”

"Hmm, why?" Liu Ye raised his eyebrows, an organization founded by a great man who saved the wizarding world, and ten years later actually took the initiative to attack the Asian Magic Federation?

"No one knows why, the three attackers were killed on the spot by the Council, and the rings on their hands indicate that they are from 'mirror'. ”

"Could it be that someone is to blame?"

"No, 'Mirror' is not a mysterious organization, many of its members have seen it, and the three attackers are all Clauren's protégés. Shi Lan flipped another page, "The Board of Directors sent a statement to 'Mirror' asking them to explain the attack, but there was no response for two weeks, so the Board sent a member of the Board of Directors with a group of escorts to the location of 'Mirror' to negotiate, however, something unexpected happened. ”

"The entire crew of 'Mirror' is gone, including the god of magic. Shilan frowned, "It's not the kind of disappearance that is missing, but the real 'disappearance'." ”

"What does it mean to really 'disappear'?"

"It's that the tracking technique shows that they're there, but they're not. Shi Lan paused, "At first, magic always thought it was Crorenbu's anti-tracking technique, but no matter how hard you try, no matter how many attempts you try, the result will always be the same. They were there, but no one could see them...... The Council found Floweren's book Array of Souls at the site of 'Mirror', and the method of instantaneous magic later spread, known as contemplation. However, due to the difficulty of directly visualizing the array, this method is limited to the simplest techniques composed of basic arrays for most magicians, such as the water polo technique just demonstrated, as well as short-distance spatial teleportation, etc., but even if it is just a combination of two or three basic arrays, the difficulty of visualization is increased exponentially. You're learning the basics now, so we're basically skipping this part of our teaching. ”

"Okay, okay, the history is over, let's start quickly, start with the simplest rituals......" Shi Lan spread out the stack of books, and the corners of Liu Ye's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Boyun City East District, Tears Company Underground, Secret Research Institute

Chen Siyun sat on the hospital bed and pondered, after systematic rehabilitation treatment, he has basically recovered his physical functions, but the doctor here did not mean to let him go, the place he is staying in now is not so much a ward, but a prison cell, because he has no freedom to leave the door at all, this ghost place is even equipped with burglar bars on the windows, and only a garden can be seen outside through the gap, after many failed attempts to escape from this semi-closed metal room, Chen Siyun is a little overwhelmed.

"Mr. Chen, you seem to have fully recovered. The automatic door of the room opened, and two people in white coats walked in, a man and a woman, each holding a tablet in their hands, Chen Siyun had not seen them before.

"I don't understand, I'm going to be your employee in a few days, why do you want to force me to work for you in such a way?" Chen Siyun asked, which he had been unable to figure out.

"Mr. Chen, I think you misunderstood. The man pushed his glasses and said, "It wasn't our people who attacked you. ”

"Not you?" Chen Siyun's mind flashed with the figures of Mu Shilan and Smith.

"Then why are you putting me under house arrest?"

"Naturally, it is for the sake of Mr. Chen's safety, it seems that Mr. Chen, you don't know your value very well, this is our estimate. As he spoke, the man handed the tablet in his hand to Chen Siyun.

Astronomical numbers on the screen that I never thought of.

"And that's just one aspect. The man smiled and retracted the tablet, "Mr. Chen, your idea can easily change the political landscape of this world, and even reshape the meaning of the word 'human'." ”
