098, Four Schools
For the next week, Talos spent every night explaining magic to the mages of Sidon City in his dreams, and during the day he wandered the spirit realm, looking for other possible dream-eating butterflies to collect for his own use.
Now there are more than two hundred dream-eating butterflies under his command, but even after living in the surface world for a while, they have not been polluted, mutated, or evolved.
This made Talos have to wonder if he needed to wait until his consciousness returned to his body before the Dream Eater Butterfly would change like the previous Three-Eyed Octopus and Man-Eating Flower.
On the other hand, it was only the second night that Talos discovered that the spell system of the Thumb Realm was very different from that of the main matter plane.
The main material plane, after the development of the ancient Arcane Empire and the modern Council of the Nine Rings, the spellcaster has long become an independent professional system, the magic theory is mature and perfect, and it is a system of its own, divided into 14 spell factions of positive energy (white magic), negative energy (black magic), four elements (earth, water, air and fire), prophecy, protection, spells, illusions, necromancy, mind, enchantment, and space.
In the Thumb Country, there are only four spell factions, the Oracle School, the Structural School, the Transformation School, and the Eternity School, but the information contained in them made Talos unable to calm down for a long time, and even gave birth to a feeling that the three views were subverted.
The Spiritual Oracle School is the only one of the four schools of magic that is still circulating in the Thumb Country, in fact, if it weren't for the arrival of Talos, it wouldn't be long before even the Spiritual Oracle School would have been cut off.
Its purpose is to harness and dominate magical energy, especially those spirits that manifest entities in the spirit world, from the simplest fire elemental to fire elemental elders, fire elemental trolls, and fire elemental lords, all of whom are the objects that the mages of the Spiritual Oracle School like to summon.
However, it is not the elemental lord who is the trump card of the Spiritual Oracle School, but the six divine birds that represent the four elements and two major energies, the bird of paradise with positive energy, the bird of death with negative energy, the archaeopteryx of the earth element, the arctic bird of the water element, the thunderbird of the air element, and the immortal bird of the fire element.
Above the six sacred birds is the crowning achievement of the Spiritual Oracle School, the Arcane Condor, summoned from the Spirit Realm, a special spirit composed entirely of magic, each of its feathers is a spell rune, and any creature that tries to approach it will be the first to be affected by many negative spell effects, and then turn to ashes in the torrent of magic.
According to the records in the "Illustrated Book of Oracles", the class level of the Arcane Condor is as high as 25, and it is said that there is another evolutionary form, the Shemo Condor, whose power is comparable to that of a god.
The name of the Arcane Condor, Talos, was the first time he had heard of it, and he knew three of the six sacred birds, the Death Bird, the Thunderbird, and the Immortal Bird: the messenger of the Grim Reaper usually wore the Death Bird mask, the Thunderbird was a special transformation object that only the druids of the Sky School could master, and Adelaide, the Great Knight of the Naga of the Desert, was said to inherit the bloodline of the Thunderbird, and the Undead Bird was a powerful magical creature that could be reborn in flames.
With a subtle touch, Talos continued to read the information that the mages had put together.
The main areas of the Tectonist School are golems and constructs, ranging from the most basic Gargoyles, Clay Golems, and Obsidian Golems to Rope Golems, Iron Golems, Steel Golems, Magnetic Golems, to Rainbow Golems, Shadow Golems, and Colossias comparable to the Fifth Order.
Colossus is the ace of the Structurists, they are usually 400 feet tall giant golems, they generally do not require additional weapons, their feet shake the ground, their iron fists shatter the sky, they are immune to mind, charm, virus spells, and can absorb a portion of the enemy's magical attack or spell power, as their own power or attach to the next action, increase their attack power.
Above the Colossus was the crowning achievement of the Structurists, a word that Talos was all too familiar with, Titan.
"Isn't the Titan a legendary creature on a par with a dragon, how can it appear in the works of the Tectonic School, is it based on the legendary creature Titan?"
The crowning achievement of the Tectonist School, the Titans themselves are imbued with a powerful magical energy that is visible to the naked eye, and they are clad in armor and ornaments made of Mithril and Shadowsteel.
The Titan of the Bronze Sequence is loaded with 36 conventional spells and three spells with a level of 20 or more for Gravity Aura, Earth Shock, and Meteorite Throw, which are converted into the main material plane spell level, which is a legendary spell, and the Titan of the Silver Sequence can release three legendary spells on the basis of the Bronze Sequence, Thundering Hell, Thermal Aura, and Solar Storm.
The Titans of the Golden Sequence are even more impressive, not only loaded with the Elemental Furnace - an elemental reaction mechanism, somewhat similar to a nuclear reactor, releasing enough energy to power the Titans for ten years of continuous activity - but also adding three new legendary spells: Celestial Hammer, Activated Lightning, and Extraordinary Collapse.
Looking at the list of spells, familiar and unfamiliar, Talos knew that the Titans were killing machines created with the primary purpose of conquering, fighting, and destroying.
If the purpose of the Spiritual Oracle School is to dominate summoning, and the purpose of the Constructist School is to make golems, then the purpose of the Metamorphosis School is biological transformation, and they have created many powerful magical creatures, the most representative of which is the Orcs.
"Orcs?" Talos felt his three views greatly shocked, "Orcs are one of the original creations, alongside Naga, humans, mermaids, dragons, Titans, elves, and other races. ”
But this is not the case in the history of the Thumb Realm, where the Minotaurs, Gnolls, Lizardmen, Centaurs, Harpies, and even the Rakshasa Lion and Naga's nemesis, the Rakshasa Lion, and the Naga's nemesis, are all experimental works of the Metamorphosis School.
This school of magic does not have the highest achievements that can compete with the Arcane Condor and the Silver and Gold Titans, but there are also two aces, one for the three-headed Chimera and one for Ramasu.
The three Chimera sheep have three heads, the lion and the goat's two heads on their necks, spitting sulfur flames and metal storms respectively, and the third head is a poisonous python, which grows on the snake's tail and has the ability to control acid mist and poisonous smoke.
Ramasu sphinx, human face, bat wings, scorpion tail, it is the hotbed and source of bacteria, viruses, plagues, and poison, and is born with "plague evil energy" and "** aura", and is a powerful magical creature that can fight with mages above level 20 head-on.
"There must be an error in the record somewhere, how can a mage of the Metamorphosis School have the qualifications to transform orcs, you must know that even the gods may not have this ability!"
"Capacity" does not refer to the technical means of modifying living things, but to the creation of entirely new species.
As we all know, the qualification of [Creation] has always been in the hands of the Creator, and although other strange creatures that have been operated on or transformed by mages have various magical abilities, this life form is temporary, one-time, and cannot reproduce independently, and once it dies, it needs to be re-transformed to obtain, such as the leopard girl and scorpion man transformed by the mage of the Nine Rings Council.
The three-headed Chimera and Ramasutalos don't understand and won't comment on it for the time being, but his understanding of orcs is real, the Rakshasa lionmen, minotaurs, and gnolls that make up the Northern Steppe Orc Empire, and the harpys, centaurs, and lizardmen who make up the United Emirate of Burundi all have reproductive abilities and can achieve racial inheritance, where can mages create.
This is ridiculous.
But the surprise and surprise that the materials of the four schools of Thumb Realm brought to Talos were far more than that, because the last school of magic also felt extremely familiar to Talos.
The Eternal School, the mages of this school pursued not temporary power, but eternal immortal life, they accidentally discovered a power related to [death] in their experiments, and later after a series of developments and evolutions, the undead were born.
Undead creatures!
Spider Cult!
Talos had to suppress the fluctuating mood that had begun to rise and fall because he was too surprised, and cheered up to continue watching.
The Spider Sect's undead lineage is not much different from the Eternal School's "Book of the Dead", the primary classes are skeletons, and the skeleton armor and skeleton spearmen that evolved from skeletons, then zombies, plague zombies, ghouls, rotting ghouls, ghosts, resentful spirits, and evil spirits......
Like what Talos learned, necromancers in this dimension also transform themselves through a ritual that turns them into vampires, and if they succeed, they evolve into necrowitches, a fourth-order undead creature.
Above the corpse witch is the Queen of the Weavers, a legendary creature that is a multi-armed race like the Naga.
Before today, Talos only knew that there was a metamorphosis and evolutionary route of "Corpse Witch - Weaver Spider Queen", but he didn't know that this route was limited to female corpse witches, until he read the history of the four major magic schools in the Thumb Realm.
After becoming a corpse witch, the Eternal School mages were divided into two paths according to gender.
The female mage continues to metamorphose, becoming a fifth-order undead creature called the Weaver Girl, with a human upper body and a spider on the lower body.
The best of the Weaver Girl group is qualified to grope for a higher level, that is, after the Weaver Spider, she can freely change between the spider form (half-human, half-spider) and the human form (two-legged and six-armed).
As for the males, they transformed into demigods after advancing to the Great Corpse Witch (Fifth Order).
There are not many records about the demigod corpse demon in the data, but it is known that this special undead creature can have up to six avatars: head, torso, hands, and feet, and as long as the avatar and the most critical life box are not all dead or damaged at the same time, they will not die.
"The Oracle, the Construct, the Metamorphosis, the Eternal—"
There are many overlapping similarities between the Thumb Realm and the main material plane, but they are also very strange, which makes Talos feel a little absurd.
"Wait!" Considering the fact that the other three schools of magic were now disconnected and had no proof of their deaths, Talos suddenly had an extremely bold idea, "The Thumb Realm has become a villain because of the curse of the witch, could there be a witch who has tampered with history in more distant antiquity?"
