"The mysterious language of sorcery has existed since the dawn of civilization, and you can understand it as the source code from which this world is built."

Facing Li Mo and Strange who were sitting cross-legged, the Ancient One Master slowly demonstrated a mage shield, "We collect the energy of other dimensions and release it through spells and magic circles, that is the principle of magic. ”

"Master Ancient One, I have studied the primitive runes, I have also studied the runes of Asgard, and I have also studied the phantom runes of the elves."

Li Mo asked a question that had been going on for a long time: "Why are there differences in the basic research of magic among various races, and are the rules of the world different?" ”

"You are very knowledgeable, and this is very important!" Master Gu Yi nodded appreciatively, "The rules of the world have not changed, but exploring the infinite universe with limited wisdom, there will always be various deviations, just like looking at the sun through a prism, some people say it is red, some people say it is green, but the truth is always ahead." ”

Li Mo nodded thoughtfully.

Strange was stunned, like a child who saw a rainbow for the first time, and was deeply fascinated by the magic of magic.

"Teacher, even if my hands don't get in the way, how can I go from a rookie to a master?" Strange couldn't help but ask.

"How did you become a brilliant neurosurgeon who reconnects complex nerves and bones?" The Ancient One Master asked with a smile.

"Study hard day after day..."Li Mo and Strange blurted out at the same time, looking at each other and smiling.

…

Two strange apprentices appear in Kama Taj.

A person who is dusty all day long, eats apples and goes to the library, often lies under the big tree to read, walks briskly like the wind, and has a feeling of going to college, which makes people not aware of the calendar.

But as soon as it was time to practice the spell, he was exposed, waving his trembling hands, and his face was flushed like constipation.

The other squatted in the library every day, and spent the rest of the time chasing the Ancient One to ask questions, and never saw him practice spells.

The apprentices talked a lot, but they were quickly stopped by Mordo, and slowly became strange.

Li Mo didn't care what those guys thought at all, he was completely immersed in the Kama Taj books.

There are many rare books here, and they were annotated by the ancient master himself.

For example, the "Manuscript of Rojon", there is a manuscript of it in the outside world, and its origin and origin are mysteries. There are more than 200 language systems used in the book.

After being deciphered by the Ancient One, this is simply a book of explanations of all known dimensions.

The Smithfield Decree hides the ancient Paladin's training codex.

The Codex Serafini turned out to be a travel journal of the dark dimension.

The Book of Sawyer hides some medieval magic.

And, of course, the most important ones, the Book of Cagliostro and the Book of Vishandi.

Although the book of Cagliostro has been torn off a page by Casillas, who has a bad brain, compared to the book's exposition of time and space, summoning Dormammu or something is completely inferior.

Comparing the Cagliostro manuscript in the Vatican's Confidential Archives, Li Mo seriously suspected that this item was a high-dimensional being.

In the past two days, from the discussions of the apprentices, Li Mo learned that Casillas was also a poor man, his family was all dead, and the ultimate purpose of learning magic was to resurrect his family, but he found that Kama Taj had no hope of magic and took refuge in Dormammu.

"The Book of Emperor Weishan" is even more of a treasure, it is completely the opposite of the "Book of Darkness" that Li Mo lost. There are many powerful defensive spells that are recorded, but the more powerful the magic, the greater the side effects, such as a ritual to resurrect the dead, which has a high chance of transforming into a vampire.

Li Mo remembered that President Golden Dawn wrote a passage on the Vatican's collection of "Solomon's Key": When you want to gain something, you must think about what you will lose...

To his surprise, he found a whole set of secret books of alchemy that no one had paid attention to in Kama Taj, but he had only recorded them with his detection glasses, and he had not yet had time to study them.

However, the theory of alchemy was used by him to learn magic.

The basic theory of alchemy is to fully understand the raw material, blacken it into dead matter, and finally transform it into a product.

What he's currently doing is choosing a base magic, dismantling and reorganizing, and trying to add runes from Asgard and Elves.

It's not too difficult, it's just equivalent to breaking down a 10M app into source code, and then adding some new elements to reassemble it into an app for him.

The system can't collapse, and because it's his own unique spell, he's the only one to do.

Let McQueen's superintelligence help?

No, this is a process of cognition and transformation, if you want to learn it, you can only be honest with yourself, and McQueen is very wrong to provide information retrieval and save the time of flipping through the book.

It simply cost Li Mo's life.

He chose the best energy shield, which was originally the rune module on the Asgardian Palace Guardian Round Shield, which was more inclined to alchemy, and could no longer keep up with Li Mo's footsteps, and was broken several times in battle.

The Kama Taj Mage Shield borrowed the dimensional energy of Emperor Vishan, showing the golden energy manifestation.

Easy to use and sturdy and durable, but limited by the mage's own tolerance for latitude energy, and only uses the dimensional energy of the Vishandi.

The elf's phantom rune defense circle is unpredictable and can be used as he pleases, which is more in line with his aesthetics, but it requires a huge world tree to convert and invoke energy.

Using the Asgardian defense circle as the framework, using the Kama Taj Mage Shield as the vein, and adding the Elven Phantom Rune to increase the auxiliary function, this is his basic idea for the new shield.

This is not a small project, which is equivalent to a junior high school student directly starting a graduate project.

The Ancient One Master is equivalent to a mentor, and when he is confused, he often has a feeling of clearing the clouds.

Strange also helped a lot, after all, this guy is a top medical expert, and helped him design a set of effective research routes, from the establishment of the model to the group comparison, so that Li Mo, who was originally a little confused, instantly clarified his thoughts.

Strange himself has made rapid progress, and after the Ancient One mage helped him break through his mental barrier, this guy with a sense of memory and super quick thinking has grown at an unimaginable rate.

Of course, there is also the most important Eye of Agomoto, Li Mo has never seen the shadow of this treasure since he came here.

If it was really that easy, wouldn't Casillas have already arrived, Li Mo had been to the library countless times, but he had never found that hidden secret door.

…

Once again in the library, Li Mo and Strange meet unexpectedly.

"How's your study progress?" Li Mo asked with a smile.

"You know, I have the ability to remember, and I will soon surpass yours." Strange said with some smugness.

Then he looked at the librarian Wang, "Wang, how about Beyoncé I recommend you listen to?" ”

"I didn't listen at all." Wang said expressionlessly.

"Hmm... All right. Strange was a little embarrassed, "Please help me get "Circle Construction" and "Soul Circuit Concisely." ”

The king searched for it and handed him the book.

At this time, Li Mo stepped forward and asked, "Wang, how is Jay Zhou's new album?" ”

"I love it so much." A smile appeared on Wang's face.

"That's good." Li Mo nodded, "Please help me get "Aalto's Spatial Interpretation" and "Frodo's Nightmare Spatial Analysis"..."

"It can't be!" Strange exclaimed, "Why are you progressing so fast?" ”

As soon as he heard the name of the book that Li Mo had borrowed, he knew that this guy, whose IQ seemed to be far worse than his own, had completed all the basic courses and began to study those cold manuscripts.

"I cheated." Li Mo said as a matter of course.

"What?" Strange didn't seem to believe his ears, and then cautiously asked, "How can I cheat and use your magic pill?" ”

"No, with astral projection." Li Mo shook his head and patiently explained: "In the soul state, the flow rate of space is relatively very slow, and one night will take you a month. ”

Strange swallowed, turned decisively to the librarian Wang and said, "Give me an out-of-body book." ”

"No!" Wang looked at him expressionlessly, "You are not qualified to study yet." ”

That night, Strange used the Hanging Ring to stealthily take several books on astral projection.

When the Ancient One learned about it, he didn't blame him much, but was pleased with the speed of his mastery of spells, and began to teach the spells of Strange's mirror space in order to give him a safe place to practice magic.

This magic is quite profound, and it is very difficult for Strange to learn due to the limitations of mana and the speed at which dimensional energy can be extracted.

Because this magic hardly relied on magic circles and spells, thanks to the strong sensitivity to space and the advantage of infinitely extracting dimensional energy, Li Mo rarely mastered it quickly.

As for another of Kama Taj's housekeeping skills, the Suspension Ring Portal, he couldn't do anything.

The energy he absorbed was completely incompatible with the Hanging Ring, and the very complex spells and spells needed to be recompiled, which was an even bigger project, and there was no time for it right now.

…

on the training ground.

Strange and Mordo changed into tights and began to practice, both of them looking a little serious.

Suddenly, one of them waved out the wings of the white crane, and the other used the black tiger to dig out their hearts, crackling together.

The corners of Li Mo's mouth, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help twitching, he had the feeling of watching Hong Kong martial arts movies in the fifties.

After all, these mages are not like him, all of them are mortals in the flesh, and if they extract dimensional energy excessively, their bodies will collapse, so they all practice a good martial art.

The so-called melee mages are them, holding shields and swords composed of energy to compete in martial arts, and Li Mo feels that this is an insult to the title of mage.

Just when Li Mo secretly despised it, Strange suddenly shouted: "Li, come down and play." ”

Li Mo shook his head, "No, I don't have any understanding of melee combat, so I have already given up treatment." ”

"Impossible!" Strange didn't believe it at all, "You're Chinese." ”

"Who said Chinese must be proficient in martial arts?" Li Mo was a little embarrassed, "It's all prejudice." ”

"Oh, yes." Strange sighed, "Not everyone is a genius after all. ”

Li Mo's face darkened, "Okay, I'll accompany you to practice." ”

After changing into tights, the two stood facing each other.

As soon as Strange made a gesture, Li Mo suddenly shouted.

The sound was so loud that Strange was stunned.

Li Mo rushed forward instantly, relying on his strengthened physical fitness, kicking his calves, hitting his nose, and then knocking over Strange with a punch.

Of course, he didn't dare to use all his strength, these mages were very crispy, and there was no need for tricks such as flirting with yin legs and lifting sand.

Strange had a nosebleed, "You're not martial arts at all. ”

"I call it street fighting." Li Mo snorted, "Martial arts are indeed powerful, but before you are proficient, please remember one sentence, no matter how good your kung fu is, the bricks will fall down." ”

Strange was still a little unconvinced, but Mo Du on the side shook his head and said, "What Li Mo said is right, as long as you can kill the enemy, it doesn't matter what move you use. ”

Strange looked stunned, "Why should I kill people, practicing martial arts just to strengthen my body." ”

Mordo frowned, "In the fight against evil, how can you not kill people?" ”

Strange looked at Mordo, still determined: "Although I have made many vows after studying magic. But I'll never forget that my first vow was the Hippocratic vow! ”

Mordo shook his head, a look of disapproval.

Li Mo secretly glanced at the Ancient One Master who was urging other disciples to practice not far away, although he didn't look here, his face was full of joy.

…

A month later,

Li Mo's mage shield finally took shape.

He came to the training ground with a happy face, on the one hand to show the Ancient One Master the results, and on the other hand, he wanted to test the sturdiness of the shield.

Strange and Li Mo came here to study at the same time, and after a few months of time they got along well, and took the initiative to ask to be a tester.

Li Mo pursed his lips, "As far as the few tricks you learned, you can't even beat me standing here." ”

The corners of Strange's mouth twitched, "Try it!" ”

After saying that, he suddenly condensed into a whip with a spell.

He thought that Li Mo would use the shield as soon as possible, so he directly drew it.

But Li Mo looked so tidy and didn't make any moves at all.

The golden energy whip had already been drawn towards Li Mo, and Strange thought that Li Mo was not ready, and he panicked and was about to withdraw the whip.

At this moment, a huge circular shield with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of Li Mo without warning.

The silver energy was the base, and it was covered with golden elven runes, almost forming a substance. The energy whip didn't move at all on it.

This energy shield is already far stronger than Asgard's energy shield and Kama Taj's mage shield.

What made Li Mo even more proud was that after the phantom rune of the fused elf clan, this mage shield could not only be large and small, but also had the function of independent defense, which meant that he was no longer afraid of long-distance sniping from others.

Strange was a little upset when he saw Li Mo's smug face, and used all the offensive spells he had learned, but the shield still didn't move.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows proudly, Strange's face darkened, and he instantly used all his mana to condense an extraordinarily thick energy whip.

Mo Du on the side was taken aback, "Stop, don't overdraw all your mana!" ”

And he was already too late, and the energy whip condensed by Strange collapsed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Strange turned pale, his forehead was full of cold sweat, dark circles quickly appeared in his two eyes, and he slowly bowed down...

"Stephen, what's wrong with you?" Li Mo hurriedly put away the energy shield and asked.

Strange looked weak,

"It feels... The body is hollowed out..."
