Chapter 17: The Magical Book of Magic
"I sense that there is a strange fluctuation in this magic book, and it should be more than that. ”
Ivan stroked the cover of the magic book, quietly feeling the strange fluctuations. I wanted to use my mental power to find out, but I felt rejection.
"Don't try it anymore, it has my spiritual imprint and will only respond to my communication. Unless there is a strong spiritual force to erase my mark. ”
Lucia took the magic book and entered a spell of power, and the magic book emitted a faint light, half floating in Lucia's hand, windless automatically, and quickly turning the pages of the book. Suddenly, it stopped on a certain page, and a surge of magic power, and a palm-sized magic circle appeared on the top of the magic book. Ivan sensed danger from the small magic array. It was supposed to be a first-order spell, and the spell dispersed before it was activated.
"This is another use of the spellbook, it can help the mage cast spells quickly, and first-order spells like this don't even need to be chanted. It's almost smooth, and it saves magic and mental power. ”
Ivan watched Lucia's performance and felt very powerful, this magic book was probably stronger than the staff he had seen.
"Why do spellbooks help with spells?"
"The magic book is also made of magic materials, and there are a large number of magic patterns recorded in it, you only need to turn to the core magic pattern of the magic, and you can quickly cast spells with the help of the magic book. Lucia closed the spellbook and handed it to Ivan.
"The magic book is not only useful for these purposes, but also for junior magicians, it can also help with meditation and magic cultivation. It's a pity that after reaching the third order, it has no effect. Lucia sighed.
Ivan was speechless at Lucia's greed, "It's already very rebellious, what else do you want, almighty?"
"This is just the simplest magic book, I heard my grandfather say that the highest magic book can indeed do something all-powerful, but unfortunately I have only heard of it. ”
"How can one prop be omnipotent?"
"Because there are high-level book elves at that level, and because they have existed for too long, the book elves themselves are equivalent to a master of magic. The magic book also has its own independent space, and there will be a special meditation and magic cultivation formation to help with cultivation. There is also a magic laboratory. ”
"Don't talk about it, teacher, that kind of thing is just a thought, you might as well talk about ordinary magic books. "Ivan doesn't want to waste his time on things that don't matter. It is still more important to know some knowledge of magic books.
"Spellbooks are all upgraded versions of scrolls, scrolls generally carry limited content, and spellbooks can carry more things. Scrolls are mostly used as consumables, and they can only be used once and are used only once. Spellbooks can be used for a long time. ”
"Magic books are also divided into different functions, the first is to assist learning, usually recording a large amount of magical knowledge. The second type is the auxiliary combat class, and there are a large number of magic array cores recorded in the magic book, and you only need to make further construction to quickly cast spells. The third type is an auxiliary cultivation, which can accelerate the growth of magicians. ”
"Teacher's seems to have all three, so powerful!"
Lucia shook her head, "I can only be regarded as laying the foundation, although all three functions are available, but each effect is very weak." It's not like a real magic book. ”
"Spellbooks must be rare. ”
"It is very rare, except for the legendary artifacts, the magic books are the most precious of the magic tools of the same level, and they are ten times more expensive than the magic wand of the same level. ”
Ten times over! Ivan thought back to the few magic staff he had seen, ranging from tens of gold coins, so wouldn't this magic book cost hundreds of gold coins? I'm a good girl! Ivan was so frightened that he clutched the magic book tightly, for fear that he would accidentally damage it.
"Don't be so nervous, the magic book is also a magic tool, and it's okay if you don't deliberately destroy it. I'm giving you to meditate and try the effect. ”
Lucia activated the magic book, Ivan quickly focused on trying to meditate, and the result was unexpectedly smooth, the second stage of meditation would always fail, but every time there was a slight deviation, the magic book could be guided to the right trajectory, which was incredible.
Using mental power to visualize the elemental flow diagram, everything went very smoothly, and soon the small amount of spiritual power was almost consumed. Ivan tried to run the scorching absorption method again, absorbing the magic power, and then using the spiritual power to transform into flames for burning, originally Ivan never understood how the magic power was converted into spiritual power, so this step always failed.
Once again, Ivan was a little apprehensive. Sure enough, when he was burning, Ivan did not feel the growth of his mental power, only the continuous consumption. A slight mental fluctuation came, and Ivan's spiritual power fire became soft and slow. Ivan paid attention to the changes in meditation, and soon Ivan felt a hint of sweet rain fall in his mind, and his mental power suddenly recovered.
I see, the name burn misleads Ivan, and the role of the spiritual fire is to refine and assimilate rather than burn out. There is a difference between magic and elements, the elements are a single magic power, and magic is actually a mixture of elements. There is a kind of life energy in the magic that can strengthen the mental power and the body. This is something that the teacher has never talked about, magic is not just an energy, what is its essence?
Ivan was immersed in meditation, feeling the growth of his spiritual power, and for a while he was a little unable to extricate himself. It wasn't until his mental power was saturated that he didn't open his eyes. Lucia was staring at the table, forcibly supporting her eyelids.
"What is the essence of the teacher's magic power, how can there be an energy to nourish the spiritual power?" asked Ivan impatiently.
"The essence of magic is sleep!"
"Huh?"
"Ah, what, you kid really don't make people worry, you have been meditating for so long! Look at what time it is? The teacher is afraid that you will have a problem with your first meditation, so you can only watch you here. Lucia roared at Ivan.
Ivan looked at the clock on the wall, the hour hand was already at one. "Why did it take so long? I felt like it was just a moment! Teacher, why didn't you wake me up. ”
"Wolf-hearted, do you know how crucial the first meditation is? As long as you succeed once, you can quickly master the meditation, the teacher doesn't want to affect your cultivation, so don't get out of here!"
Ivan hurried to the dormitory. When I returned to the dormitory building, I tragically found that the door outside was locked! Nima, who is so lacking in morality, didn't she never lock it before? Could it be that she could sleep outside? Feeling the cold of the night, Ivan shivered, and went to trouble the teacher.
When Ivan knocked on Lucia's door, Lucia's pretty face in her pajamas was frosty.
"Ivan, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, my mother will send you to the hospital, with a face like a pig's head!"
"Teacher Lucia, the door to our dormitory is locked, so I have to come to you. I really can't help it. ”
"You sleep outside, do you want to sleep with the teacher?" said Lucia teasingly.
"Beautiful teacher, can you bear to let a child sleep outside in the cold? I'll just sleep in the living room, please teacher. After saying that, Ivan bowed deeply.
"Since you have asked for this part, the teacher is merciful and does not care about you, this is my spare quilt. Lucia pulled out a stack of quilts and placed them on the couch.
"Sleep honestly, if you dare to find something for the teacher, the teacher will hang you all night!" Giving Ivan a big threat, Lucia yawned and went back.
Ivan is also sleepy, meditation can restore mental strength but not exhaustion. As soon as the quilt was wrapped upside down, he fell asleep, and if he wasn't very tired, Ivan couldn't have thought about it. This is the problem of the inferiority of the beast to the beast.
As soon as he slept until dawn, Ivan sadly found that he was late. And Lucia is probably still sleeping in the room. Sure enough, expecting the teacher to wake her up was purely overthinking, after all, Lucia didn't have classes in the first two periods.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Ivan cautiously slipped out and was relieved to find that no one had seen him. Obviously there is nothing, why do you make it like cheating. If you really get seen, you might as well go out.
How to choose between tardiness and absenteeism? Of course it's truancy! I hope Bill can make up a reason for himself to get by. But thinking of Bill's tenacious head, Ivan suddenly felt that things were not easy to fool, and he had to find a valid reason.
Turning around outside, Ivan's mind was full of valid reasons, but unfortunately they were unreliable. The second class is about to begin.
"Forget it, let's go to class first and ask Bill what the situation is. ”
"Ivan, why didn't you go back last night, where the hell have you been?" asked Bill when he saw Ivan.
"Don't ask about this yet, what did you say when the teacher asked me why I didn't come to class?" Ivan prayed that Bill didn't say he didn't come home at night.
"Huh, the teacher didn't ask anything. ”
"How could it be? ”
"Because the teacher didn't come, we had a self-study class. ”
"Thankfully!"
The second session is a meditation class.
"Actually, meditation classes and magic cultivation classes shouldn't be separated. Why? Because these two aspects of cultivation are the norm for magicians. Any free time should be put to good use. ”
"However, due to your poor self-control, the academy has to set aside time separately so that you have a certain amount of time to cultivate. Meditation is all about cultivation, and I don't have much to talk about at the moment, so from today onwards, you will try to meditate, and I will supervise and observe you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, it doesn't matter if you fail, meditation needs to be done slowly. ”
"The other students will try it on their own first, and I will guide you through the meditation one by one. When you know what you are lacking, and then you learn to fill in the gaps through the scroll, it will be very effective. The resources of the academy are limited, and I hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to use the scrolls. ”
It turns out that this is the case, no matter how complicated meditation and magic cultivation are, it is impossible to teach it for three years, after all, there is only one set of content, and this is a special cultivation time.
