Chapter Seventy-Four: Scholars
"Guardian Rune Derivative ......"
Ron groaned.
He hadn't studied the derivative runes of the guardian system yet, because it was too difficult to explore the derivative runes of the guardian system until his mental power reached 100 points.
In terms of size, the derivative runes of the guardian system are ten times larger than the runes of basic elements such as Wind and Fire, and the complex possibilities brought by them are far more than ten times.
If it is only ten times, even if it is more than a hundred times more likely, with Ron's current thinking speed and mental power, he can use the exhaustive method to forcibly explore, after all, his current thinking speed has already been far faster than ordinary people I don't know how many times.
But in fact, the size of the runes is more than ten times, and it brings much more than that, like the concept of a single digit, turning to four or five digits in a row.
At this point, what is needed is not to be rough and try the password one by one, but to have enough knowledge.
Knowledge about runes.
Ron's previous knowledge of runes was very shallow, but now, after delving into third-order magic, his research on runes has gradually changed from a superficial surface to a deeper one.
He had learned that runes were not something that had been designed, but rather a 'tool' that represented a perfect use of energy.
Yes.
Runes are tools, absolutely perfect tools.
Just like gunpowder, steam engines, generators, etc., in science, they are essentially energy conversions, but the runes are the most perfect, and the utilization rate can reach 100%.
Ron had inadvertently created flawed runes that were similar to derivative runes a long time ago, and although those runes also had an effect, they were incomparable in terms of wear and tear compared to the truly perfect runes verified by the achievement system.
If Ron uses the ability of elemental affinity to study the use of elements, then when he studies to the end and reaches the end, what he deduces must be the elemental runes given in the achievement system.
In other words, the achievement system actually allowed him to omit the most troublesome and knowledge-intensive step of self-creation of magic, and directly gave him the perfect rune that stood at the end of magic.
Otherwise, if you have no rune foundation, you have to start studying the use of elements little by little to create magic, which is definitely not something that can be completed by one person, it must be a world of magic, explored and inherited by countless dazzling magicians with countless generations of life.
After knowing that runes are tools, Ron also understands why these derivative runes have their own meanings, such as decomposition, aggregation, chaos, and so on.
It's just that he can't reverse the way around and understand the essence of a rune.
In other words, he has not yet been able to separate the rune as a tool and understand how it is composed, and what parts and functions each line and each small pattern represents.
But even so, Ron figured out what each rune as a whole meant.
Decompose, Converge, Confuse, Order, Derive, Destroy, Amplify, Weaken.
Whether it is the fire system, the earth system, or the wind system, the eight derivative runes represent these eight concepts, which revolve around the core basic element runes.
These eight derived runes can be divided into...... Disintegration and Convergence, Chaos and Order, Derivation and Destruction, Amplification and Weakening, are four sets of opposing runes.
These opposites, such as disintegration and aggregation, cannot be arranged next to each other, even if they appear in the same magic, and need to be separated by other runes, just like in a machine, things that interfere with each other, such as water and electricity, must be separated.
Previously, in the process of exploring the third-order magic of the wind system, Ron thoroughly figured out the meaning of all eight derivative runes, and obtained the fifth trait, successfully mastering the third-order magic.
And the five characteristics of magic that he understood were exactly these four sets of opposing runes, plus the fact that the basic runes must be the core of magic, a total of five.
On the basis of this knowledge, it is not difficult for Ron to explore the third-order fire system and the third-order earth magic, just like having an equation and then calculating it, and breaking his fingers to calculate the numbers one by one, the difficulty level is not the same concept.
"I don't know when Nami will be able to explore in a different direction from me, so that the knowledge of this kind of magic can accumulate at a faster rate......"
Ron couldn't help but mutter.
With Nami's current level, it should be a little early to explore magical knowledge, and Nami is still in the stage where she needs to learn, and there is still a huge gap compared to him.
Ron now roughly understands the feeling of being a top scholar at the forefront of science and technology in his previous life, and everything needs to be explored and created by himself, because he is at the forefront of the world.
Because of this, magicians are honorable, proud, and exalted.
Because in a sense, they are the top scholars in the world, working hard for the progress of the whole world, and every step forward is leading the whole world to take a step forward!
"It's a pity that this is the world of One Piece."
Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but sigh again, if it was in a world where magic had not yet flourished to the peak and perfect runes had not yet been explored, he only needed to take out a perfect rune, and he might be able to become a great magician respected and admired by countless people.
But in this world of One Piece, you still have to speak by strength, and knowledge can only be used as a tool to improve your strength, and there is no other room to play.
Thoughts return to the guardian runes.
The difficulty with the Guardian Rune for Ron is that, unlike the base elemental system, it has only six runes instead of eight, which cannot correspond to the element's runes.
"Is there a missing set of opposing runes, or is it ...... All six are different. ”
Ron pondered, he felt that in either case, there should not be all six different, at least a few, and the meaning of the representation could correspond to the eight elemental runes.
If this is correct, then if you try to do it based on this, you can directly avoid some detours, after all, in the case of knowing the corresponding meaning, Ron, who has already understood some knowledge of runes, can avoid many obvious low-level mistakes.
And Ron guessed.
The derivative runes of the eternal runes are most likely missing a group, and the group that is missing, he also has a little inference, that is, the group of 'chaos' and 'order'.
Compared with the elemental rune, the eternal rune is solidified and eternal, relying only on spiritual power and does not involve the basic elements of the outside world, so there should be no two concepts of 'chaos' and 'order', because eternity seems to be the apex of order and chaos in a sense.
