51. Simple trials
Everyone was speechless for a while, although Adam's body in front of him seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, but through those eyes that were truly blooming, it could be seen that he was in good shape.
"Adam, your eyes?" asked James softly.
Before Adam could reply, the catapulted devil screamed and pounced again, but it learned its lesson, and did not dare to get too close to Adam, but howled falsely two paces away: "Master, my dear, great, all-knowing and all-powerful master, it is great that you are all right, you do not know how much your humble servant worries about you these days......"
The air suddenly condensed into a hand, and the devil fan flew to the side, and Adam said lightly: "Don't become like me in the future." The devil let out an exaggerated scream, returned to his chaotic form, and stayed aside.
Adam said to James: "After the optimization of the Mindfulness Meditation Method, the quality has been greatly improved, and I can't control it perfectly for the time being, and it will take a few days for this state to last." ”
The three of them were excited, and sure enough, Frank asked anxiously, "What is the result of optimization?"
Adam handed out an information box: "The original nineteen runes are left after removing the redundant and useless parts, and the new rune group can contain more spiritual power, but correspondingly, the requirements for the control and total amount of spiritual power are also higher. ”
Adam didn't say one thing, the new rune group not only requires mental power, but also tests intelligence and calculation.
Adam's gain was great, and after coming into contact with geometry, the runes, which were originally only sketched out of thin air, had a more scientific structure.
In the first half month, Adam standardized every line in the rune according to the geometric theorem, and successfully made the rune structure more reasonable.
Half a month later, Adam began to observe the runes as a whole, trying to combine them in different ways, and found a large number of useless parts, which were successfully reduced after being removed.
After ten days, Adam found that there was a hidden overall law in the combination of runes, and he was surprised to find that there was actually a more efficient way to build, out of the primitive drawing and building block game, and finally in seven days Adam liberated all computing power, put all of it into the study of the overall law, and finally discovered the mystery, each rune can be regarded as an equation, by calculating its 'solution', the rune can be directly constructed, and finally only need to combine these 'solutions' to complete the construction of the rune group.
Not only that, Adam has a strong feeling that although each rune structure is different, there is an unknown in it, that is, spiritual power, and when he understands spiritual power more thoroughly one day, he can combine these methods into a group, and then only one 'solution' can solve everything.
But William and the three obviously did not have the same level of computing power as Adam, and in their eyes, they only found that the new rune structure was so complex that it was difficult to remember, and if the various lines crisscrossing were to be perfectly replicated with spiritual power, the control required would be amazing.
James's eyes were dejected, and he found that if he used the optimized structure, his progress would be even slower, and the time to regain his mental power after each rune outline would be desperate. The same goes for Frank, who, while slightly more talented, is not strong enough to handle.
William silently calculated in his mind, and found that if he switched to a new structure, it would take him nearly four times longer to complete a complete build than before, he smiled wryly and opened his mouth, but said nothing, after all, the contract was clearly written, and Adam was not obligated to serve their needs.
Adam was in a good mood and took the rare initiative to instruct them: "Don't treat runes as mere graphics, find their patterns, and construct them by calculation." ”
The three of them stared at him, expecting further explanations, but Adam found that he had no way to explain further, and had to admit that Adam did not have the talent to be a teacher, and he could integrate these things himself, but he could not do anything about how to make others understand.
......
Adam left the lab and walked towards the cafeteria.
Addicted to research for a month and seventeen days, the food in the carry-on space was depleted soon after a month, although Adam had the physical fitness of a great knight, but not eating for a long time still made his body close to exhaustion, and now he just wanted to eat a good meal.
Along the way, Adam saw many rookies in the same batch, most of them gathered in three or two, looking at the others vigilantly, and he remembered that the trial was about to begin, but at this time Adam no longer took the trial seriously, even if he didn't build magic, just by virtue of the upgraded version of the telekinesis, he could be sure that he could run rampant among the rookies.
The rookies looked at Adam with a greatly changed image in amazement, and couldn't believe how the legendary figure among the rookies could have become like this, and some people even maliciously thought that Adam was cursed, otherwise why would there be a gray mist behind it?
But they could never have guessed that Adam was really cursed.
Adam has not forgotten the death mark left by Clark, if what Clark said is true, there is really a direct official anti-mage behind him who will avenge him, and the trial is probably the easiest place to succeed.
"I just don't know where the trials are going. ”
However, there is nothing good to do for Adam, he is only an apprentice after all, and he can't ask a formal mage to protect him, it is not about whether he can pay the value, but he has no equivalent status.
After coming to the cafeteria, Adam ordered a table full of high-end food, drawing energy at a speed that seemed to be slow but was actually fast, and halfway through eating, Elliot came unexpectedly, sat down across from Adam, and said, "Hey, man, long time no see." You too, Mr. Devil. Look at you, aren't you doing well?"
The devil took the form of a girl and stood beside Eliot, winked at me and said, "Call me Miss Devil." ”
Elliot was kind: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Devil. ”
Adam ignored the two boring fellows, ate all the food, and swallowed the last bite before saying to Elliot, "You seem to have nothing to do all day, don't you need to refine new potions?"
Eliot lay on the table and sighed: "Do you think I don't want to? But I can't refine it! Knowledge, knowledge, my knowledge is too little." ”
Adam didn't echo Eliot's complaints, and when it came to knowledge, he remembered another guess of his own, how is the concept of knowledge defined in the mage world, can mental power be considered knowledge after becoming an equation, or can it be considered knowledge when he successfully connects all the equations?
If in the second case, knowledge is in this form, then can those magical runes also be seen as equations, and the reason why they cannot be constructed by calculation is that Adam can't understand the equation now?
"Maybe you can't try to understand them all in the form of equations, but theorems, or formulas?" said Adam softly.
Elliot didn't hear clearly, and looked up from the table blankly and asked, "What did you say?"
Adam shook his head and said, "Nothing. ”
Elliot didn't ask, he wasn't in the mood for a while, and after looking at Adam's withered body, he asked, "How did you make yourself like this?"
The devil replied in a coquettish voice: "My great master was so addicted to study and forgot to eat and sleep that he almost starved himself to death. ”
Elliot was stunned, he really hadn't heard of such a thing: "It's not good, man, you won't forget the trial in a few days, will you? In your current state, what if something happens?" Elliot had already regarded Adam as a friend, and this was sincere, he didn't want Adam to fall in the trial.
Adam said lightly: "I'm fine, I've never been better, as for the body, when does an elemental mage need to rely on the body to fight?" Adam immediately thought of Elliot's news and asked curiously, "Do you know anything about the trial?"
Elliot saw Adam's eyes, knew that he was right, and relieved, and replied, "I can't say it yet, but it's coming soon, and you'll know in a few days." ”
......
Elliot was right, and three days later, Adam received an order that all the new apprentices who were still alive should assemble in the square.
Dean Victor's doppelganger has not changed much from a year ago, still standing on a high place in a black robe, and said calmly when the scheduled time comes: "I'm glad that you have survived the first year, in various ways. ”
The rookies were slightly in a commotion, and some of them were surprised and nervous, they were all people who had not improved much in strength, and they didn't dare to go out to do tasks to improve their combat experience, so they just sat back and waited.
"Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the trial site through the teleportation array, a designated habitat for magical beasts, and your task is to destroy all magical beasts and survive for a month. ”
Adam heard a relaxed gasp around him, and it was clear that the rookies had realized that the task was not very difficult, and that the academy was not trying to kill each other, it was clearly a cooperative mission.
Adam was slightly surprised, this task seemed unexpectedly simple, since it was for the purpose of assessment, the mages obviously would not put the official mage energy level of the magic beast in it.
Dean Victor continued, "All the magical beasts in the trial site have been planted with potions, and you must carry the primers that will be sent to you later. Demonic beasts catalyzed by potions have no reason to speak of, and they will attack all apprentices who carry the introduction. ”
Dean Victor's words were brief, and he left directly. Adam realized that it was Elliot who gave the introduction, and he winked at Adam.
