Chapter 442 The Arcanist's Way
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say it looked like some evil necromancer's forbidden lab, so you didn't want to come here?"
Li Zhongman reluctantly looked away from his gaze and looked at the figure wearing a white robe who was lying on a long table writing and drawing.
The robes he had seen from Kesage's memories, and he found that the Arcanists seemed to like to wear them, presumably because the long sleeves concealed their spell gestures and made it impossible for others to guess what spells he would use.
Originally, he wanted to find a set of dark gold with the same set as Keskey, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.
"I didn't want to come and see you~ You've locked yourself up in this ...... It's been two days since the alchemy workshop, and your parents are worried that I will come to see you~"
"I'm fine~ You saw it, so let's go out~" The figure said without looking back.
"Zhuang Yu, you have changed! You wouldn't have done this to me before!" Li Zhong didn't seem to hear the other party's words, but instead approached the long table, and when he got closer, he saw that the table was painted with dense geometric shapes and various formulas, he subconsciously shrunk his neck, and now what he is most afraid of is these things.
"Can you get stronger by locking yourself up here and studying these calculations?!Come and go out for a run with me!" Li Zhong said seriously.
"Hehe~ Li Zhong, I said that your head should not be squeezed by the door, it's not good to practice your ability, run here to hinder me!" The figure lying on the table put down the pencil in his hand, and the firelight illuminated his face, which was the original owner.
"So that's why I locked myself here and deliberately made it into a wall, otherwise I wouldn't want to study the arcane at all~"
"What?Olympiad?" Li Zhong felt a headache when he heard the name of the Olympiad, he gave up reading because mathematics was too bad, and now he has a higher level, before he went to gnaw on physics books because the inheritance he obtained was full of some high formulas, and he had to go to arithmetic or something, even so, he didn't make much progress, this guy actually took the initiative to find abuse.
"I kind of understand why you can read it~" Li Zhong looked at the original owner with admiration.
"It's arcane! arithmetic! It's magic! It's not mathematical, it's not numbers!" Hearing Li Zhong's words, the original owner understood that this guy must have thought wrong, and couldn't help but touch his forehead and corrected.
He simply gave up the idea of continuing to draw the magic array, stood up and looked at Li Zhong, anyway, as long as this guy was there, he wouldn't want to study it anymore.
"Arcane is based on mathematics...... Forget it, you can just treat it as magic~ These are the crystallization of my arcane research~" He said, pointing to some of the insect beetles he had created on the ground when he was practicing.
He had previously obtained the inheritance of the fourth-level arcanist who called himself Kesqi II, although because he had broken the other party's consciousness, he had no way to directly obtain his power, making a good Yin Soul Inheritance become a Yang Soul Inheritance, but he was not for nothing.
Although Keski II's consciousness collapsed and he lost the opportunity to stand on the other person's shoulder and start his arcane journey from a good start, it also gave him no need to worry about being affected by the other person's consciousness and becoming a different person.
The essence of arcane art is to use mathematics, biology, physics and other sciences as tools to obtain truth and then power through continuous analysis of the world and rules.
So although Kesqi's consciousness is gone, his lifelong research on arcane and other systems is still there, but it has changed from a vivid memory to a book-like knowledge, which needs to be read, studied, practiced, and mastered again.
There are eight main schools of arcane: prophecy, change, plasticity, spells, protection, necromancy, enchantment, and illusion.
Each school of thought is not independent but interdependent, just like the relationship between various disciplines, just like if a student wants to learn mathematics, he must learn the language and know the words, and then he can understand the textbook, understand a concept, and understand the title of a question.
The relationship between the various schools of arcane is not very good, and while there are some extreme cases where arcanists only study one school, most arcanists will mainly study multiple schools.
The main research directions of each school can be roughly understood from their names alone, for example, the prophecy system is a class of spells that are specially used to obtain information. Powerful prophecy spells allow the mage to observe his targets from a distance, and even allow the mage to see things that he would not normally see. Probably the most common use of prophecy is divination, which is the ability to observe what is happening in a distant place - even on another plane.
The Morph system is one of the most useful and widely used factions. Transfiguration can be regarded as the signature spell of the transformation system.
Mages can use Transfiguration to transform one thing or one person into another.
This transformation effect is not permanent, and is usually determined by the ability of the caster, and can be maintained for up to 24 hours for the average apprentice and up to 120 hours for the excellent.
Of course, the only thing that deserves to be excellent here is for the apprentice, the casting effect of the real Grand Arcanist is always two levels compared to the apprentice, almost the effect of two spells, and if a Grand Arcanist wants to, it is no problem to keep the Transfiguration effect for a year. Another well-known application of the Variation system is teleportation.
The most basic teleportation spell is Flash, and it's one of the most useful. Flashing can help mages escape the clutches of their enemies and save their lives if they stumble and fall off a cliff.
On top of that, when the Arcanists' transformation skills reach a certain level, they can even affect the changes in time and space.
Since arcane users are usually more unrestrained, it is inevitable that they will encounter a slight loss of control of magic, so it is necessary for the arcanists to protect themselves, and thus the enchantment spell was born.
A protective enchantment is a spell that quickly and effectively blocks damage of a certain elemental type, which is usually caused when the caster attempts to cast spells from other factions.
Therefore, the first lesson of every Arcanist apprentice is always the protective barrier of the protection system, because you must make sure that you survive an arcane experiment in order to gain time to continue studying the arcane and gain more knowledge to continue on the path of transcendence.
Therefore, the protective department that studies protective magic is one of the important magic factions that a young mage must learn.
In addition to these eight schools, there are actually various hidden but more general schools that are the general basic arcanists have to study, such as alchemy, which fascinates the original owner, and even wants to study it forever.
Alchemy, in a sense, can be regarded as the most perfect embodiment of the characteristics of the arcane arts, she does not need to be like a magician to recite magic spells, spend a lot of time and energy to meditate, increase her affinity with various elements, and do not need to sweat like a warrior, walking on the edge of life and death, just to improve her combat skills and purify her body, and she does not need to pray to the gods she believes in every day like a sacrifice, show her piety, and then borrow power.
Different from the above bitter professions, alchemy, as long as you are willing to work hard to acquire knowledge, you can get strength by practicing knowledge, and pay the same amount of sweat, and your energy will definitely be rewarded.
Equivalent exchange is the true meaning of alchemy, the true meaning of arcane.
Alchemy is the only part of Keski II's "legacy" that can be used now, and his memory contains a large number of alchemy arrays, and all the original owner is doing now is trying to draw them.
Although the character of the original owner and Zhou Guan seem to be different, one is resolute and decisive, the other is a little soft and gloomy, but there is always a rush at critical moments, but there is one thing in common, that is, both of them can endure loneliness and can sit down and study a thing for a long time.
For example, Zhou Guan has been hiding in the original owner's sea of knowledge since he woke up and studying the "Yin Rune Sutra", and it has been more than four days now, during which there has been no other action except for borrowing a few runes from Jiang Xin to study, which almost makes people wonder if they are going to change the protagonist.
And the original owner is the same, except for the beginning of the period when he went out to the community to bring a few medicines and supplies, the rest is just to stay here to study his alchemy array, and the two of them are doing their own things, but they seem to be very harmonious.
Of course, unlike Zhou Guan, the original owner was harassed by Li Zhong from time to time and had to be interrupted for a while.
"Hurry up and say something~ When I'm done, I'll leave quickly, I'm going to continue research~" The original owner was too lazy to mess around with Li Zhong, he said bluntly, on the one hand, he felt that Li Zhong was delaying his time, on the other hand, he was originally a straightforward character (this is different from Zhou Guan, who loves to complain, although occasionally he also complains in his heart), and at the same time pulled out a sheet from the table, which was similar to the previous refining array that was refined into insect armor, except that the circle was not a six-pointed star, but a five-pointed star.
This is a pattern of a summoning circle, which is a representative spell belonging to the spell genre, including summoning creatures and devices.
Have you ever had a thought in the wilderness to drink a refreshing cup of spring water?
There's nothing more pleasant for a mage than rubbing a freshly fried chicken leg or a glass of water out in the middle of nowhere.
Some mages who are proficient in spells are able to rub out several glasses of water at a time, even a large vat. Other brave mages forgot about the cup while rubbing the water, and the technique of summoning the water elemental was born! The water elemental is a mage's best comrade (and the Demon Hound is the most feared enemy). )。
The summoned water element is a powerful ally in battle, usually a good listener, and can be used to eat at certain critical times, yes, the arcanist is so good at running a house, and the taste of the water element is similar to QQ candy, very chewy.
