23 Communication is spellcasting

"For demons, cruelty is both a virtue and a foundation for life. Therefore, all attempts to call on demons to come or worship will be crushed and destroyed by all the forces of order in human society, and the Book of Punishment warns us that ignorant people who worship demonic culture never end well unless you are still useful. ”

……

Closing the book, "The Devil Deserves to Hell," Charles sighed softly.

More than a week had passed since he sold the keel, and all he had spent studying was the three books he had purchased from the watch shop, except for the special symbols he had secretly practiced the curse of pain.

Death of Acavia

"The Devil Deserves to Hell"

Carol's Thirteen Elements of Spellcasting

And now, he has basically completely gnawed down these three books, and he has learned some of the truth of this world.

This is a world of gods, magic, demons, ghosts, and monsters.

Ordinary civilians probably can't be sure about this, but the original person who was born in an aristocratic family since he was a child still knows something about the real situation in this world.

Therefore, after getting that notebook again, the original body couldn't wait to start studying, hoping that he could squeeze into the real upper world.

Needless to say, the consequences are true, but this also fulfills the Charles, and the "inheritance" inherited from the original body, as well as the wandering of the ghost period, make him naturally have a lot of guesses about this world called the continent of Arcavia.

He thinks that this may be the world of swords and magic in his previous life, and the whole world is full of magic, magical elements, fighting spirit, and faith or something.

This thought continued until he obtained these three books, and then he left it behind like a fairy tale.

This world is indeed full of all kinds of unknown elements, but there is no so-called magic existence, and there is no fighting spirit or the power of faith or anything.

There are spellcasters, but real magic is not the same thing as what he knows.

He thought that magic was to use a unique magic called "spirit" to pry various elements of the surrounding world to cast spells, and if he wanted to improve his ability to cast spells, he had to accumulate this spirit and achieve qualitative change.

However, in fact, the so-called spirit is not magic at all, but spirituality, aura, inspiration, and even the soul.

"Once you've figured out why I am and nothing else, you have the key to the spirit world."

The cultivation of the spirit in the book of the Thirteen Elements is depicted in a hazy way, and normal people are probably confused because of this.

In addition, there are only a small number of educated people in this world, and for various reasons, the number of people who have and open the spirit is very rare.

Charles didn't know what he meant either, but after he learned about the method of probing spirits, he suddenly found that he had unknowingly "activated" the so-called spirits.

That's why the original cast failed, and he succeeded.

It's just that another question also surfaces - "The original body did not open the spirit, so naturally there was no spell casting condition, but why was he possessed by himself?" ”

Coincidental?

"I don't believe in coincidences." Muttering to himself, Charles became more and more desperate to retrieve the notebook.

Since it all came from the notebook, there's a good chance it contains something he needs to know.

It's just that this matter is not in a hurry.

As he studied the spellcasters, another thought crossed Charles' mind.

"If a Negotiator crosses into this world, can he have a big bonus for spellcasting?"

This idea is not without reason, because here, the principle of magic is actually very simple, and it only needs to be summed up in one sentence - "communication is spellcasting".

This is roughly the case when you use your own spirit to communicate with all things and get feedback to form spells.

The spell is the bridge of communication, and of course, the spell in question here is not the literal one, but the strange murmur that has been transformed by the spirit.

Mantras composed of various languages have no power at all, and only by transforming them into corresponding spiritual words by special means can you bring the corresponding elements or corresponding beings to manifest with the spells.

This also explains why the spell becomes unsuitable during the prison break - the spiritual language is formed according to the language before the conversion, and the words spoken in each language sound different, and the conversion is naturally different, so there is a question of whether they can be understood.

In other words, the incantation transformed into the Durin language cannot be understood by the corpses of the natives of the world behind the door, and naturally they do not know how to respond.

"So the premise of using a sacrifice spell is that you must learn the language of the race in which the sacrifice target is located, and then communicate with that being to negotiate terms and conditions? Elemental spells communicate with the elements of the world? Charles thought back to the Thirteen Elements, still confused.

"What kind of communication can increase the orderly combination of unconscious and inexplicable beings into the desired magic? A series of tirades? ”

"Also, since the question of whether language can be understood, how can the spellcasting elements of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire understand the language of another world? After all, according to this explanation, the command element is also communication......"

"In the end, if communication solves everything, why is there such a special symbol?" Looking at the blank paper in his hand, Charles was still puzzled.

In other words, the more you know, the more you don't understand.

"Maybe I misunderstood?"

Unfortunately, as the boss said, these three books are only the most basic, advanced knowledge and are not recorded in them.

"Also, the magic of bone resurrection doesn't seem to belong to the Hell series, but death?"

"What is the difference between death and hell?"

After all sorts of questions were not clear, Charles simply stopped pondering, and he sorted out the clutter on his desk, and began to quickly empty his brain to prepare for his subsequent actions.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a book called "The Enemy of Thorns", which made him move, and then secretly distressed.

During this time, he occasionally tried to practice this spell called purification, after all, the potential threat to the church lay out there, and he couldn't ignore it.

However, just like the first time, he had to stop every practice.

Once, he forcibly continued, and almost knocked him out.

Then after discovering that every time he dreamed of some kind of demon slaying scene that subtly affected himself, he didn't plan to cultivate at all.

It was as if the whole world was brainwashing him all the time. If you want to continue, you have to accept their ideas from the bottom of your heart. This acceptance includes being forced and taking the initiative, with active acceptance naturally learning faster and forced on the contrary.

However, you can't deceive yourself, and you want to take the initiative, unless you are really that kind of person, and you may not be able to hide it at all.

"So the church is really as high as they preach." Charles muttered to himself.

Without a noble and righteous heart, ordinary people really can't learn their spells, or what they have learned, what was not noble has become sublime.

And if you can't learn their spells, you won't be able to climb up the ranks in the church system, that is to say—the church may be pedantic, but it is absolutely not corrupt.

At least that's what Charles knows about the church; It is not excluded whether there are other cats in it.

……

The verdict was devastating to Charles, but it wasn't for nothing.

At least the cops seem to have been informed by the church that they didn't trouble him anymore, and that the conspiracy stemmed from the Cranston family never showed any more clues.

After paying off the book, he paid another investigation fee, and Charles still had a little more than 200 gold pounds in his hand, so during this time, the cleaning maid, cook, cook, handyman, and most importantly, the housekeeper, he had basically been equipped in place, counting the miscellaneous expenses such as grocery shopping, daily scheduling, and house maintenance, and the cost of maintaining life was only 20 gold pounds per month.

So the savings in his hand are enough for him to squander for a while.

"But it seems that the maintenance of the castle is expensive......"

The investigation of their territory has not yet yielded results, and the charr has begun to prepare for a rainy day.

But compared to these things, what is more important for him now is to enter the shuttle door.

Thinking of this, he casually looked down, and a line of information drifted across his eyes.
