Chapter 28: I Am a Legend (Part II)

…… It doesn't seem like so.

Richard had some regrets, but he took it for granted.

He has seized the authority of Raspuchin, in other words, his rank has indeed reached the "legendary", there is no doubt about it. Once Richard began to meditate, his mind was connected to the spirit world, and countless unheard of magical knowledge, precious spells, and unimaginable spell archetypes appeared in his mind, but he was not at all unfamiliar; And he has a sense of what Rasputin left behind, which is by no means a fake.

However, at the Legendary level, he is now unable to use a simple formal spell.

What does this mean?

Wizards cast spells, not only archetypes, but also magic......

The real name believes that the environment of the Mayan world is very different from the old world, and the high concentration of ultra-micromachinery has caused fundamental changes in the human body. He agrees with this very much, because Richard once had this consideration: the human beings in this world have been exposed to the environment full of magic for many years, and the body has produced adaptive changes, and this change is passed down and accumulated through generations of bloodline genes, which is probably the key factor in determining the level of magic power. He would lack talent in the Demon Path for the same reason.

The combination of the basics he had learned as an apprentice wizard and the ideas he had as a modern man had made a new speculation take shape in his mind: perhaps, the reason why he was unable to successfully cast spells was because although his authority had reached the peak of mortals, the magic of his body was still an "apprentice".

"Real name, people of your time, how did you use permissions in the virtual world?"

Richard pointed to his head.

"The human brain should not be able to directly bear the burden of data processing, and it needs some kind of medium."

"Essentially, they're all products from the time the chief was in," replied his real name, "but they're more powerful in terms of functionality." ”

Even in the future world with highly developed science and technology, human beings have reached the point of almost omnipotence and abandoned almost all the tools of the past, but they are still inseparable from the existence of "terminals". This includes personal terminals that you carry with you, or computer chips that can be implanted in your brain, and base stations that can only be seen in giant enterprises. The terminal is not so much a tool as it is a medium, a real tool - part of the "universal machine", which is like a front button.

In this way, terminals should be ubiquitous in the future. But just like I used to think of the Mayan world as a real fantasy world, I don't think anyone here has ever seen anything like it. ”

If things like computers, mobile phones, or even chips, or buildings like base stations were everywhere, Richard probably wouldn't have had the misunderstanding of "traveling through another world".

It is not surprising that terminal devices are rare or even disappear. Again, for the same reason, because the world is now thousands of years away. Harsh environment, weathering and erosion, natural disasters, the passage of time, man-made damage and war, etc. Unless a part of the terminal is under special environmental protection, it is difficult to have a chance of surviving.

As a result, the New World lacks the existence of a terminal, which means that the current human beings should not be able to use magic essence, and completely degenerate into an ancient civilization. But the truth is quite different.

"I'm thinking about ......"

Richard looked serious and began to discuss the problem with Miss AI.

- "Does this mean that people in the new world are using their own bodies as 'terminals'?" ”

If so, it would explain why wizards are able to unleash their power through their own medium. Unlike humans in the old world, they can directly communicate with the super-metaverse and the virtual world, and mobilize the power of the super-micro universal machine - and this power is the so-called magic.

In addition, they have also found a set of effective methods to make this ability more powerful through training, and even ordinary people like Richard from the distant past have gradually become able to connect with the spirit world, which is meditation.

"In the past, even those who didn't seem to be using a terminal on the surface had an electronic brain or computer chip implanted, and of course there were puritists who were averse to the use of bio-modification surgery and insisted on using traditional mechanical terminals. But it can be directly connected to the super metaverse ......" she shook her head slightly, "I've never heard of it, it's more like a 'superpower'." ”

"Hmm."

Richard nodded. Just then, footsteps were heard outside.

…… It's Master Peter, right?

Richard's expression became serious. He looked around to see if there were any other untreated traces that would raise suspicions. He had to hurry.

"By the way, that's ......"

As his gaze wandered, he saw "something" that he hadn't noticed before.

Richard descended from his throne and ran past the corpse to the outermost wall. He plucked from it a pitch-black object nailed into a crack in the stone.

It looks like a military prismatic thorn, with an unusually sharp tip, but without a handle. Just by looking at this amazing appearance, you know that this thing is definitely a murder weapon. However, in the Mayan world, it seems that it can only work on the flesh and blood of ordinary people.

Of course, Richard would never think so. Because it was the body of the black light that shot out of the Demon Dao Book - a terrifying killing weapon that pierced through the legendary rank spirit body and countless protective spells, and finally took the life of a wizard leader!

Richard's hands were shaking as he unplugged the thing. He is a fake and shoddy version of a legendary wizard, and he definitely can't resist the destruction of this thing, but he can't just leave it alone. Fortunately, this black prismatic spur with an unknown body seemed to be a dead object, but it was cold to the touch. When Richard pulled it off, it lay quietly in his hand without the slightest movement.

He didn't have time to look at it anymore, let alone dig into the nitty-gritty of the black thorns, so he kept it in his arms for the time being. Richard trotted all the way, picked up the magic clay tablet and the golden snake staff on the ground near the corpse, and returned to the same place.

Richard sat on the Iron Throne, adjusted his posture, and cleared his throat with another cough.

"It's so uncomfortable to sit...... I'd love to add a cushion. ”

He grunted and put the mask back on his face.

……

As the bronze door slowly opened, he saw Peter Campbell again a week later. The master who had once made Richard have to be treated with care and respect is now a servant at his service. The other party was looking up at him with fear and awe.

At this moment, a realization appeared in Richard's heart.

Yes, from today onwards, I am Novich Raspuchin -

A legendary wizard known to the world, a leader of the Magic Tower of Exalted Status.
