Chapter 15 Thick and Thin

Feige eagerly opened the iron door to the library and walked inside, holding a lantern. The grease-lit flame can only provide dim illumination after being blocked by the glass cover. But in a place full of paper books, fire protection is obviously more important.

The room is closely packed with bookshelves, densely packed with books of all kinds. The red ones are related to spells, the black ones are related to martial arts, and the brown ones are related to history, geography, biographies, and anecdotes. Most of these books are issued by the Church of Truth and Thunder, after all, "truth" is also an important part of the goddess, which has the meaning of spreading knowledge.

There are also some things that were collected from the time they went on a mission, including some books from the enemy. That's how many spell books came about, and even Old Man Kiplin didn't shy away from it. The divine art of the goddess is above board, with a clear context and structure, and a complete method of cultivation. The only thing that hinders people's progress is the degree of loyalty and individual effort. But among the people, especially those who do not have divine qualifications and want to use spells, they do not have a systematic learning method.

This means a great deal of difficulty, and even leads to unscrupulous learning, such as the use of living people as sacrifices, or the worship of the devil.

The evil casters should be eradicated, but the fruits of their sins have been brought back. Reproduction of these results is prohibited, but reading is permitted under controlled conditions. Evil will not disappear because you choose not to look at it, but it will converge because you are exposed to broad daylight.

Fitch walked past the red bookshelves and noticed that some of the books had a similar appearance: a silver metal cover with a particularly thick spine and a sign of the Thunder Cross carved on it. These books give people a cold feeling, and there is a tingling sensation from a faint electric shock when you put your fingers on them. These books were collected from evil spellcasters and were called "Thunder Seal Spell Books", or Silver Seal Spell Books.

"The Mysterious Wisdom in Stories and Proverbs" is leather wrapped, huge and heavy, no less than a copy of "Cihai (Miniature Print)". There are also magic circles on the book, not to warn the reader, but to prevent fire, water, insects, and damage.

"This book is used to get started? If you can't get started, you can use it to kill yourself by the way, and the design is humanized. Feige searched the shelves for a while, looking through the book's preface to get a general idea of what it was about. He found a very interesting phenomenon: the primer books for divine magic were thin and light, and none of the primers for other types of spells weighed less than ten catties.

Only one silver-sealed spell book of The Law and Language of the Devil has reached the level of portability.

It's hard to get started with spells, not because of the perverted demands on the reader's arm strength, but because of the chaotic spell system. Feige took a quick look at it, and in terms of the simplest spell to create light, in "Mysterious Wisdom in Stories and Proverbs", there are a total of 862 completely different ways to cast it. The most troublesome thing is that these more than 800 methods are all right, and everyone has successfully used them on different occasions before, but no one knows which method is right for you. A spellcaster can probably always find thirty to fifty spells that can cast a light effect, but each of them is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

The ability to repeat over and over again is the most important sign that a system can work, and sorcery is far from being able to do so. Feige designs games, and he is well aware of the importance of success rate to a system of abilities. A 1 percent failure rate will not attract attention, a 5 percent failure rate will cause irritability, a 10 percent failure rate will cause frustration, a 20 percent will cause resentment and resistance, and a 40 percent failure rate will cause people to give up.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it, you can do it and you will always do it", this is the biggest advantage of the goddess's divine art. And the spells in this world, first you don't know if it will work, and then you don't know if it will work in the future, which is maddening. Mages rack their brains to increase the success rate of their spells, and the common way is to make it easier for their spirits to enter the state of the spell when they cast it, and to synchronize it with the fluctuations and frequency of the energy to be used as much as possible. And one of the means is the "magic dream".

Now Feige will never repeat the mistakes of "Magic Dream", but he does have to think carefully about how to go down the road of magic. He wants to get his body back, he wants to get rid of the influence of the devil on him, especially the negative influences. He must at least be worthy of his life after crossing, to be independent, autonomous, happy, and successful.

All this cannot be solved by force and power, let alone money, including alchemy. In the case that the path of divine magic does not work, all he can rely on is spells.

Unlike the people of this world, Feige's starting point for thinking about things is never God, even if there is a divine art. From this point alone, he is actually a "devil". He believes in logical thinking, causality, and the simplicity and rigor of a programming language.

He quickly read the prefaces of dozens of books, and got a general understanding of spells: the goddess didn't care about spells, it was not her purview, and spells were "natural" things, imitated from spirits, monsters, dragons, and elements, and comprehended from wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Well, since natural phenomena can be repeated, spells should also be repeated. There's definitely something wrong with the current spells.

Feige wasn't the first mage to have this idea, but he was the first to try to solve the problem in a more advanced and logical way. As a programmer, knowing that there is a bug, there will be a sense of compulsion to correct the error, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable.

"In the memory of the Fork in the Road Demon, although there are only a handful of mages in this world who are more powerful than the devil, they do exist. All I want to do is increase my chances of becoming a powerful mage. He picked up "The Mystical Wisdom in Stories and Proverbs," tucked it under his arm, and then tucked "The Law and Language of the Devil" into his clothes and placed it close to his body. There was a tingle of electric shocks on his belly, but it was nothing compared to the excitement of learning spells.

He was ready to put the heavy primer on spells in the meditation room. Old man Kiprin told him to take at least 3 hours a day to meditate and get used to the stress that the geist might put on him, and he planned to study spells during this time. Since the geist has become "food" and the pressure is not there, Feige can concentrate on his studies, which has exceeded his original expectations.

He was going to carry the magic book with him. He would definitely read this book well, but he would definitely not study it, and his identity as a devil made it impossible for him to learn the magic of the goddess of truth and thunder. However, he needed to make a gesture, at least so that Old Man Kiplin could see that he had tried. The old man was genuinely good to him, and Fei Qi knew this, and he didn't want to disappoint the old man.

And the book "The Law and Language of the Devil", he was determined to memorize it as a real starting point. This is not only because the thickness of this book is the friendliest, but also because of the word "devil". Feige is very realistic, he knows that he will not lose all the abilities of the contract demon because of a good deed every day, or he will be able to change from a devil to an angel, and he also knows that he will not become a real evil devil just because he learns "The Law and Language of the Devil".

Since you are a devil, you should study from the most advantageous angle, and this will have the highest success rate.

With all this planned, Feige looked outside and saw that it was almost time for dinner, and he was going to the hall. Coming down from the library, Feige went to Old Man Kiplin to help him go to dinner, only to find the room empty. When he reached the bottom hall, he saw that the old man was there, and so were the three young men and the head of the Keley sect.

Kylie was wounded.

He stripped naked, had a bandage around his chest and abdomen, a splint on his right arm, and hung from his chest with a bandage, as well as multiple traumatic injuries elsewhere. There were tattered clothes on the floor, stained with blood. Kylie frowned and moved his upper body slightly. He frowned slightly when the pain was caused, clearly dissatisfied with himself.

Old man Kiplin was packing up his healing potions: "Come to me after three days to change the dressing, and after ten times you can remove the bandages on your body, but the injuries to your arms and ribs will not heal until at least three months." You're going to have to go into winter with these wounds. ”

"It's nothing. Kyle glanced at Feige, his gaze seemed a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Oh, one more thing. Don't shout before removing the bandage, let alone do strenuous exercise, otherwise you will get better more slowly and suffer in vain. ”

Ramsden secretly glanced at Witch Mama, and there was joy in it. Kyle can't yell or move, which means they'll be able to train incredibly easily, at least not get hurt in the fight, which is definitely a good thing.

Wu Mama understood it, wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so she could only rub the tip of her nose with her fingers to block the slightly upturned corners of her mouth.

However, this was still seen by Kyle. His eyes widened and he didn't shout, but his voice still had a strong threatening effect: "Don't do this little trick, I'll still keep an eye on you, don't want to be lazy! From tomorrow onwards, any relaxation will be whipped, and my left hand with a whip is actually as good as my right hand!"

"Okay, tomorrow's business tomorrow, let the children eat first. Kyle, come with me, and I'll prescribe you a medicine. ”

The old man led Kelie towards the tower, and when he was far away from the hall, he asked, "Kelie, why did you get hurt this time?"

"When I was climbing the mountain, the rope was too old and it broke. Oh...... I patrolled along the route and found this thing on a cliff. Kelley looked back, took a small cloth bag from his trouser pocket, placed it on the splint on his right arm, and carefully opened it with his left hand. Inside are four turmeric, fleshy plant tubers, each with three slender green branches growing from above, topped with three small red berries. After bumping, squeezing, and impacting, the berries are still intact. The crystal clear red color has a watery appearance, which looks very attractive.

"Giant fruit?" Kiplin's expression of surprise grew. "It's a rare thing. ”

"Yes, I know. But let's not hand it over to the temple this time. Kellet, holding the cloth bag, said to the old man, "I mean, the church has its own stock, and it doesn't need these things as much as the younger people. Let's make a potion, mix it in the soup, and give it to young people to drink. Don't tell them, lest you slip through and be discovered by the inspectors. Feige and Tron need to participate in the enhancement ritual, and Wumama and Ramsden need to improve their physique. With this, at least they can live a little easier. ”

The old man hesitated, pressed his chest, and nodded. "If the inspector finds out, don't make a sound, I'll deal with it. My old face is still very face-saving. And you don't want them to know, lest you ruin your image of being ruthless, do you?"

"I just don't want them to be like me. Kele put the cloth bag in the old man's hand: "It is better for them to hate me than to be turned over by the sinister world outside." ”
