Chapter 166: I've Been Pit Again
Wan Yi and Roushui were separated in Clarence City, and Roushui naturally went offline to sleep, while Wan Yi returned to King St. Joyce in the teleportation array.
Because of the multiplier teleportation fee, there are not many players who return to St. Joyce's royal city, after all, one visit is equivalent to taking a long-distance flight, and it is also the price of first class
This is just one of the reasons why there are no players in the city, the main thing is that the vast majority of players don't have anything special to do after arriving in the city, and the tasks and social circles here are not suitable for ordinary players, and it is better to stay in the city where they were born.
Wan Yi rushed to the Magic Association in Wangcheng, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find anyone, and even Alina didn't seem to be in the Magic Association.
In desperation, Wan Yi had no choice but to ask for help from the staff of the Magic Association, and a middle-aged mage explained to Wan Yi: "A few days ago, several friends of President Claude asked him to go on an adventure in the secret realm together, and the president took Master Alina to participate in the secret realm with him. ”
Wan Yi was very speechless, you said that Claude is a little old man, how good it is to stay at home honestly to bask in the sun and drink tea! actually went on an adventure and took Alina with him
"Excuse me, when will President Claude return?"
"I don't know, the president didn't say it when he left." The middle-aged mage said, "But I don't think they will come back in a short time, the president said that the purpose of this trip is to allow Master Alina to have a good experience." ”
Wan Yi really didn't expect that Old Master Claude had attached such importance to Alina, which made Wan Yi, a genuine master, very embarrassed
In the final analysis, it's just because Wan Yi still regards Alina as a well-behaved and sensible child who is very good at making pastries
After leaving the Magic Society, Wan Yi hesitated and walked towards the Magic Tower of St. Joyce. Since I can't find a more professional mage to answer the questions in my heart, but find some relevant information and rummage through it, maybe I can also find relevant information to answer the doubts in Wan Yi's heart.
St. Joyce's Magic Tower, a landmark in King Joyce's City, shines forever. It looks sacred and majestic under the night sky.
Every time Wan Yi approached this place, he would be impressed by the handwriting and courage of St. Joyce, and the St. Joyce's Magic Tower was destined to leave a name for eternity since the day it existed!
Entering the inside of the magic tower, Wan Yi saw the magician who was already dying of old age at first glance, and today the old man seemed to be full of energy, sitting in his place and constantly writing something with a quill.
Perhaps sensing Wan Yi's approach, the old man raised his head and said with a smile: "Master Wan Zhi, we meet again." ”
"Hello old man." Wan Yi greeted: "Are you writing a diary?" ”
The old man closed the notebook and said with a smile: "People are old." A lot of things are getting more and more blurry in my memory, so it's good to remember more, anyway, I have a lot of free time. ”
"Master Wanzhi seems to be in good spirits, I don't know what the purpose of this trip is?"
Wan Yi replied, "Last time, I listened to the old man's advice and gave up the space spell and specialized in the four systems of magic. However, I encountered some confusion when casting S-rank spells, and I want to find some relevant information to solve my doubts, I wonder if the old gentleman has any suggestions? ”
The old man pondered for a moment: "The nerds of the Magic Association are obviously more aware of this question. Can the Knowing Mage know how the hierarchy of spells is divided? ”
Wan Yi didn't quite understand what the old mage meant, but he still said according to his own understanding: "The most basic spell should be the basic use of elemental power, which is divided into F-E levels depending on the degree. Then there are some basic spells that are composed of simple magic structures, which are not very strong. But the destructive power of magic has already begun to take on! It should be in the D-C order. ”
"Then there are more complex magic structures with multiple permutations and combinations, as well as large-scale spells formed by superimposing each other, and the evaluation is above the B rank."
"As for the spells of S rank and above, I can only be regarded as a beginner in the way, and I don't know much about it."
"Master Wanzhi understands very well. The first lesson that every magician learns is that in the system of spells, the elements are the basics, and the magical structure is the foundation. ”
The old man said, "All magic is made of elements, of magical structures. But just mastering these can only be a few spells within the A rank. ”
"That's where my confusion lies!" Wan Yi said respectfully: "Please also ask the old gentleman to teach me." “
The old mage laughed, "That's why I'm asking you about the grading of magic. This goes all the way back to the beginning of the world. There are gods in this world! ”
"Gods?"
"Yes!" The old mage sighed with emotion: "That is an incomparably superior clan, and everyone is the darling of the creator!" According to legend, every god has the strength to surpass the S rank as long as they are born, and once they reach adulthood, they can break through the SS rank epic! ”
"For this race, S-rank spells are the lowest level of basic magic! That's why we humans define S-rank spells as 'hero-level', which means 'people with god-like abilities'. ”
Wan Yi was really shocked by this news: "It's incredible that there is a race that can naturally cast S-rank spells!" ”
"Yes." The old mage said, "As for the previous F-A rank, that's just our own classification. In terms of the use of magic, we can never reach the sky in one step, and we can only decompose and simplify the S-rank spells mastered by the gods little by little. Eventually, it will be used within the limits of human power. ”
Wan Yi seemed to understand something: "Does that mean that as long as those spells that have been simplified to the extreme are restored again, it will be an S-rank spell." ”
"Yes and no!" The old mage said, "An S-rank super magic must contain all the qualities of the low-level spells of this system. For example, any S-tier fire magic, it must burn, it must explode, it must be hot. ”
"Only by mastering the basic spells and advanced spells of a department to the extreme can you cast a completed S-rank super magic! I'm talking about the ultimate in more than just 'will' and 'fine'! It's a kind of research that really goes to the limit! ”
The old mage continued, "For example, the magic structure of the Fireball Technique is one of the most basic of all fire-based spells, and many high-level fire-based spells have to use this structure repeatedly! But this structure is often slightly different when it appears on other spells! ”
"These differences, as small as the amount of fire element used at a certain magic node, to the overall layout of the entire magic structure, are all key!"
Wan Yi thought for a moment after hearing this, and with a move of his hand, a small fireball floated on the palm of his hand. Then, Wan Yi dispersed the fire elemental that made up the fireball, and instead injected the power of the wind element, and then this spell was instantly wiped out
"I seem to get some of it." Wan Yi said: "It's like the same magic structure used to compose the Fireball Technique, once the Wind Element is used instead, it can't form a 'Wind Ball Technique'. ”
"In the use of S-tier spells, any imperfect handling of any detail will reduce the strength of the entire spell by one point! How complex the S-rank spells are, countless small flaws have accumulated repeatedly, making the true power of the spell drop wildly! That's why I was able to cast an S-tier spell, but I always felt that this spell had a huge loophole! Even in the end, there is only about one layer of effect! ”
The old mage nodded with satisfaction: "Master Wanzhi is really good at understanding. ”
"But I still don't understand!" Wan Yi was puzzled: "It sounds like an S-rank spell is like the accumulation of countless experiences, so that the spell can be more perfect little by little!" But how did the 'gods' race possess this ability at birth? ”
"It's really a matter of talent." The old mage smiled bitterly: "For us humans, a magician who can control the power of the elements at will, come and go as soon as he is summoned, can be regarded as an extreme elemental control!" ”
"But for the god race, when they cast magic, every trace of elemental power will naturally be used in the most appropriate position, no more, no less."
"Later on, someone analyzed this ability and called it 'the power of the source.'" 'Origin' refers to 'as it is', and it is the form of existence that best fits the power of the elements into nature. ”
"The power of the source." Wan Yi muttered the word and asked without a question, "What does elemental power look like?" ”
"I don't know!" The old mage shrugged helplessly: "However, there is a special item formed by the precipitation of time, called the 'Origin Stone'!" It is the most natural structure composed of the magical elements of a certain family! When mages study the Origin Stone, they try to restore the element's 'original appearance' in an attempt to comprehend the 'power of the Origin'. ”
Depend on! Depend on! Depend on!
Wan Yi couldn't help but curse in his heart when he heard it, and he wondered why the "Origin Stone" looked inconspicuous, but the system's evaluation of it was SS rank!
I also understood why I had only been studying "Desperate Barrier" for two days, but I still used this spell to the second level!
It's all thanks to the fact that he's spent a lot of time studying the Origin Stone!
Claude's little old man me! Under his flickering, Wan Yi mortgaged this precious stone to the Magic Association in a daze, and only exchanged it for a set of ordinary general thunder-based magic textbooks!
"Master Wanzhi don't be discouraged." Seeing Wan Yi's pale face, the old man comforted him: "Although the Origin Stone is rare, the old scholars of the Magic Association still have a few pieces in their collection, and they don't mind that the mage is studying the Origin Stone with them, after all, this is contributing to the entire magic system!" ”
Wan Yi could only smile helplessly at the old man's misunderstanding, and couldn't help but think in his heart: No wonder Claude is so good to Alina! It's closer than his own master! (To be continued.) )
