Chapter 101: Easy-to-understand Arcane Magic (Part I)
Rex was a man of great importance, and that afternoon, he took Founder and Nimfu out of the Sanctuary and then through the mage's teleportation circle to a slightly dilapidated mage tower.
"From today onwards, you two will live here."
Although the room in front of me looked a little shabby, at least it was clean. And Rex apparently doesn't care about these "little things". He clapped his hands with satisfaction, and then directly took out a book from his side that was almost as thick as Cihai and threw it in front of Fang Zheng.
"You read this first, and then start practicing, and how much you can learn depends on your own creation, and if you don't understand, come upstairs to me. But remember, if I have a sign hanging at the door, don't come in, or you'll be coke and deserve to be unlucky! β
With that, Rex turned and left, leaving Fang Zheng and Nimfu behind.
"It seems that mages are really as difficult to deal with as rumored."
Fang Zheng picked up the heavy book of "Cihai" and glanced out the window at the same time. At this moment, the window is no longer the prosperous scene of the previous capital of the Northland, on the contrary, looking around, there is a forest and snow field everywhere, and you don't need to ask to know that this mage tower must have been built in some deserted place......... Anyway, this is the routine of mages.
"Really, that guy dares to be rude to his master!"
Nimfu is obviously not as calm as Fang Zheng, if Fang Zheng hadn't asked her to obediently stop talking just now, I'm afraid the little angel would have jumped up and started with Rex.
"It's just a mere insect ........."
"Well, it's not a big deal."
Picking up "Cihai", Fang Zheng flipped through it casually, and then sat down on a chair next to him. Rex said very clearly, there is only one month, if he can't get Rex's recognition in this month, then he can't enter the White Tower, which means that he has to return to the Holy Church......... Fang Zheng was unwilling, although he didn't say it explicitly, but both parties already knew that he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Holy Church, so he almost put it out and said it. If you go back, do you want your face to be?
For the sake of face, he can't let go of this opportunity!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately began to read the "Ci Hai" in front of him carefully and carefully, while Nimfu looked at Fang Zheng, thought for a while, and then sat on another chair not far behind him, just staring at the man in front of him.
Although Rex has a unforgiving mouth, it is obvious that he still seems to have a good set of teachings, but after a cursory reading of the preface, Fang Zheng found that this book is almost a "Guide to Magic".
And according to what was written in this book, Fang Zheng finally understood how the mage used the power of the soul to fight.
Unlike melee classes such as Knights, who directly attach soul power to weapons or use it to attack, the most useful thing for a mage's soul power is to condense magic runes. According to the "Introduction to Magic", there are a total of 69 magic runes in the world, and the nature of these magic runes is a bit similar to the "Periodic Table", each rune has different properties and meanings, and the process of mages releasing spells is actually the process of condensing magic runes with their soul power, combining them into spells, and then releasing them.
In Fang Zheng's view, this is a bit like a combination of matchmaking and spelling, if magic runes are compared to blocks of different colors, then what the mage does is arrange them into a combination of the same attributes, and then eliminate them in one go.
As we all know, the more blocks you eliminate in one go, the higher the score you get.
In the same way, the more magic runes a mage can resonate with, the more powerful the magic will be.
However, this does not mean that you can play as much as you want as you can in the same leisurely manner as you can type code, on the contrary, if you use soul power to condense magic runes directly, each rune lasts for a very limited time, almost only a few seconds. And this means that the mage must construct the magic spell in the fastest speed, the smoothest posture and way in these few seconds, otherwise after a long time, the entire spell base model will collapse and the power will flow backwards. Either the spell will simply fail and will not be able to be used at all.
So Fang Zheng finally understood why Charles's casting speed was so fast when he was fighting him...... But also, if the mage released a spell that was slow to die, he would have been killed a long time ago.
And in addition to that, there is also about the characteristics of spells, the characteristics of spell factions......... All in all, as a popular book on magic, this book is quite qualified.
So Fang Zheng did not hesitate to devote himself to the study of magic.
Fortunately, with the help of the reorganized body of the Zerg, Fang Zheng can be said to be full of energy, even if he stays up for three days and three nights, he will not get tired at all. Not to mention that there is also Nimfu by his side, according to Nimfu, their artificial angels have their own source of motivation and also do not need rest and sleep.
Although the book was indeed complicated, it took Fang Zheng two days to read it by heart, and then he went to the space made by Rex at the top of the tower and knocked on the door. Soon, Rex's voice came from within.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
"Excuse me."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng pushed open the door and walked into the room, only to see Rex sitting on a chair, staring at the boiling flask in front of him. Seeing Fang Zheng walk in, Rex glanced at him and said disapprovingly.
"What's the matter, I feel troublesome and don't want to learn? If you don't want to learn, just leave, there is no extra time to waste for you here, I can go back and say to the old immortal. β
"That's right, Mr. Rex........."
Hearing Rex's words, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, and then took out the book Rex gave him earlier.
"I've pretty much got the book covered, so I'd like to ask what to .........do next."
"What?"
But before Fang Zheng's words were finished, Rex looked over with a mocking and surprised expression.
"You've got it? I said, boy, do you think it's just a book, you just have to memorize the contents? This isn't the of the temple that is used to brainwash people, you know, the mage is ............"
But Rex didn't finish his words and stopped, his eyes widened blankly, and he looked at Fang Zheng in front of himβββ to be exact, the ball of light floating in Fang Zheng's hand.
This is a zero-level spell, the Illumination Technique. For Rex, this spell is nothing unusual, in fact, any mage apprentice can master this spell. But here's the problem......... Right now, it's Founder! And since he started learning magic, it's only been three days!!
"A light spell? Looks like you're working hard......... But ........."
However, before Rex could finish his words, he saw Fang Zheng's finger lightly, and the next moment his fingertips suddenly shot out a white ray full of cold air, hitting the table not far away, freezing the candlestick above in hoarfrost.
Cryo Ray!
Seeing this, Rex was dumbfounded, he opened his mouth, completely unsure of what to say. After a long while, Rex slowly looked at Fang Zheng and asked.
"How many zero-level tricks have you mastered here?"
"I've learned it all."
This is also the reason why Fang Zheng came to Rex, after all, in his opinion, the things in this book are just beginners, and the spells recorded on it are also some lowest-level tricksβββ these things are almost not lethal, not even spells.
Next, I should be able to learn some real spells.
It's just that to Fang Zheng's surprise, Rex's face is very ugly, which makes him a little worried. Was your previous performance too stupid? You must know that Fang Zheng is the first time to contact magic after all, so he is naturally cautious, although it only took him a day to figure out the content inside, but for the sake of insurance, Fang Zheng still asked Nimfu to assist him in reviewing it again, and felt that there was nothing missing before he came to Rex, but looking at his appearance......... Did you do something wrong?
