Chapter 18: The Library (Part II)
"High-level spell ......" Isaac, who was still thinking, raised his head, and then he suddenly turned his gaze to Loren very alertly: "Why are you asking this?"
"As you mentioned, my method would be more effective if it were used on high-level spells. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Loren shrugged his shoulders very "innocently": "Maybe I guessed wrong, how could those mentors put such an important thing in the library for the apprentices to flip through casually?"
"That's for sure. The young wizard apprentice nodded as a matter of course, but immediately realized that Loren had something to say, "You wouldn't be implying that there is something in this library that I don't know, right?"
"Hmm...... Not necessarily. Loren curled the corners of his mouth slightly, the fish had already bitten the hook, and he had to be patient and not act rashly: "Maybe it's just because it's hidden, so you didn't find it." ”
"Senior Brother Loren, don't underestimate your senior. Loren could almost see the glint in his eyes: "All the knowledge in this library is in my mind, and there is absolutely nothing missing." ”
Isaac stood up triumphantly with his hands behind his back and said in a "regretful" tone, "And unfortunately, you guessed it wrong - this library does have knowledge about high-level spells, and only I know about it. ”
"But I must warn you that high-level spells and magic are very dangerous, not only because they will come into contact with more Void power and have a more complex structure, but also because they are extremely heavy on the body, and if you are not careful, you can blow your head off. ”
Loren nodded, he could understand this - just like the chamber of the gun may explode if it is overheated, it is normal for high-level spells to consume far more spiritual power than low-level spells.
So there was a reason why the apprentices were not exposed to high-level spells, except that the vast majority of them were not proficient in occult and spell science, and these dangerous spells were more like bombs than weapons, and for them to learn these spells was tantamount to suicide, and they would be tormented a thousand times by the pain of the power of the void and the drying up of their mental power before they died.
But "danger" can also be spelled "opportunity", at least for Loren. What's more, I don't have to worry about the Void Erosion that has minimized the risk, so what else do I need to worry about?
"Okay, but this matter can only be known to the two of us, if Mentor Dalton finds out......" Isaac suddenly shuddered, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Carefully lowered his voice: "Absolutely, never mention this to anyone, not even Ain Rand!"
It should be said, especially not to tell Ain Rand...... Loren couldn't help but say in his heart. According to his impression, if the little wizard knew about this, he would definitely tell Dalton Kander as soon as possible, lest he blow up his own head or be corrupted into a madman by the power of the void.
As for his original purpose...... It doesn't matter anymore, compared to a high-level spell, rubbing fireballs or something is like an add-on, and since you've already got something beyond your expectations, there's no need to worry about the initial plan.
Over the next few days, Loren worked through Dalton's increasingly accelerated classes, and then squeezed out more time to study advanced spells with Isaac. Although the other party's specialization is not a spell, he has a strong knowledge of occultism to decipher the structure of the spell.
In any case, magic is the way to use the power of the void, so high-level spells are at most difficult formulas for Isaac, not to the point of being incomprehensible.
However, the complexity of the high-level spell was still beyond the imagination of the two of them - for a whole month, Loren and Isaac had dark blue and purple bags under their eyes, and if it wasn't for meditation to help them regain their energy, the two of them would have collapsed long ago.
............ Late at night in the North Tower dormitory, the cold moonlight shone through the window on Loren's sleepless cheeks, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the parchment full of incantations in front of him.
After a whole month of hard work and countless deductions, I finally completed the whole process of analysis, and I also completed the foundation construction in the spiritual hall, and now I am only left with the last step - to completely complete the reverse deduction!
Needless to say, the danger of this process is needless to say, you almost need to bear twice the mental load, and there is also the danger of blowing off your head, but the benefit is even more obvious, you can completely master this spell, and strengthen the control of the power of the void, and if you are lucky, you can even reach the level of detail!
Sitting on the floor with his upper body straight, he forced his consciousness into a meditative state, and Loren calmed down with a long sigh of relief.
"At worst, it's just blowing up your head...... Let's get started!"
Layer upon layer, the looming runes gradually began to reveal their true appearance under Loren's gaze, and the pus-like void power once again invaded his spiritual hall, only this time it was far more violent than when the "Firefly Spell" was constructed, and the decomposition of the runes pierced Loren's consciousness like countless tentacles!
At first, the problem was not serious, but it was only vaguely felt. After all, he is not afraid of the erosion of the void at all, as long as he remains cautious, there will be no problem.
Really difficult, back.
One by one, the runes of the structure flashed from view, and the entire spell was presented in Loren's mind as clearly as a giant drawing, every step, every structure...... All the information is pouring in.
The only problem is that the amount of information is simply too large. He didn't hold on for long, and he felt as if his mind had been pricked by countless needles, stimulated over and over again.
It's not a physical pain anymore, it's a mental torture - if he were still awake, he would find himself meditating like an addict with an addiction on drugs, twitching violently and shaking back and forth.
But his consciousness is still in the spiritual hall, even if it hurts to the point of dying, he can't roll on the ground, desperately shouting to alleviate the pain, he can only endure desperately, and then maintain the last trace of sanity.
If you're completely driven crazy, you're really losing!
"The most powerful mantra is a sober and rational brain...... Well, I can finally understand what that means, but it seems a little late!"
As he shouted this sentence in his mind, the flickering runes in his vision still didn't stop - all of them had reached this point, and if he flinched, Loren doubted that he still had the confidence to come a second time.
It's your choice, so you won't regret it!
After the dismantled runes were parsed, the second step began, reorganization. But this time it was no longer the way it was originally mantra, but it was completely controlled by Loren's own willpower, rebuilding the spell and constructing it according to his own will and understanding.
Only in this way will you be able to master this high-level spell thoroughly, instead of reciting the spell from the script and then using it, as Isaac calls a "juggler", and make it your own completely.
The process of rebuilding is much easier than parsing, but it is far from "easy" - Loren has to resist the sharp pain that has not dissipated at all, and meticulously "assemble" the whole spell, even if there is the slightest mistake, the whole process must be restarted, he definitely does not want to do it again!
And this process is also a process of deepening understanding, and the structure must be carefully adjusted so that the whole spell is more in line with oneself than the original owner.
Since you want to do it, of course, you have to do your best, and there is no difference between a difference of one point or half a point and a clean difference, this is the first magic in the true sense of oneself, of course, to the point where you can do the best possible.
As for the previous "Firefly Spell", although it is indeed a very practical little magic, it is basically no different from changing a trick in this strange world, and it is not worth paying attention to as much as now.
The pain gradually numb, and Loren's mind became more and more blurred, maintained the last of his usual patience, and completed the final construction unhurriedly, and before his consciousness could return to his body, his mind completely turned into pitch black and he fainted.
It was impossible to feel how much time had passed, and when Loren opened his eyes again, the little wizard with a pale and anxious face was standing in front of him, shaking his upper body desperately.
"What's wrong?" said Loren, barely half-sentenced.
"I should ask you that!" Ain almost blurted out, "What the hell is it, why do you look like you are about to ......" and finally did not say anything.
"It's nothing, just a little rest. Loren propped himself up with his arms, obviously unable to speak, but smiled nonchalantly at the little wizard, "Is there anything else?"
"Mentor Dalton asked me to come. The little wizard's expression was very hesitant, but he still didn't dare to go against the will of his mentor.
He said...... There's a task for you. ”
