Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 064 Bottleneck Down
After a moment of silence, Master Nar solemnly commented: "This is a new idea worth a thousand gold!"
Charlie remained silent and waited for the master's next step.
"Honestly, as a teacher, I feel guilty because it's not a particularly hard idea to think of. However, it took decades from the beginning of the discussion to the establishment of this topic, and countless people participated in the discussion.
Moreover, after the academy was approved last year, more than a dozen great mages and nearly 100 senior assistants joined the project, and they studied it for more than half a year, but no one thought of this, including myself, do you know why?"
Charlie knew that Master Nar wanted to tell him why, so he asked the question.
"Because we are entangled in the definition of weight, the weight of talent, the weight of bloodline, and the weight of magic, everyone has selfish intentions and wants to add points to their own field, so as to ensure that after the rules are formulated, their own field will be noticed by the world, and their level will be higher than others. ”
Charlie frowned and asked, "What's the point of this? ”
Nar said solemnly: "Of course it makes sense! You know that after a mage enters the realm of a magister, he will especially cherish his reputation and life, and he will not fight for his life and death without deep hatred, which means that once you fall behind, it is very likely that you will not be able to correct your name for a long time."
Competition is fierce in Arcane Ring, and you as a student should know it, and in fact the same is true for teachers, a high ranking means higher treatment, more resources, better opportunities, and for some, it means everything.
When a new standard of authority comes out, this ranking will inevitably be reset, and everyone wants to have an advantage from the start, without having to fight hard to earn honor. ”
Charlie nodded in understanding.
"For most of the past six months, almost all meetings have inevitably involved weighted topics, and each time they have been aborted because of disputes, hundreds of meetings, large and small, without many valuable conclusions, and so far, because there is no perfect balance scheme, and research has been bogged down. Master Nar showed an angry look, his face trembled slightly, and he said: "It's ridiculous! The most essential thing that everyone ignores: data! Data is the most honest! Since you have decided to quantify, you should use numbers to solve all differences!"
I think the top management definitely doesn't want to see the project shut down for a long time, and I believe that the fairness of this new idea will be accepted by everyone, because they don't have a better choice!"
Charlie sighed: "Yes, but to quantify to each field, I'm afraid it will require a lot of people to participate, and the workload will be very huge, this is a huge project!"
"Yes! a great project! a project that will give the Waglan mages and warriors a deep understanding of themselves! Now we find the right way!" Nar's voice grew more and more excited, and he stood up and paced around the room at the point of excitement.
Nar smiled and said: "Charlie, do you know the meaning of this idea, maybe you will have the opportunity to name this standard, just call it 'Charlie Standard'?
Moreover, I will contribute to the Millennium Magic Newspaper, and I am sure that soon your fame will spread throughout the empire, and your family will be happy to see that you have achieved this. ”
When it comes to the Millennium Magic Report, Charlie can't help but think of the princess with whom he has a relationship, Elsa, which is really embarrassing.
Charlie smirked, "Don't be so exaggerated! I just casually said that it would be nice if I was lucky enough to join the Teacher Program, and I am very interested in working with data." ”
Nar waved his hand and said, "You are now a participant in this project, I will write a paper, submit this idea, mark the idea from you, and list you as the second author, do you agree?"
Seeing Charlie's embarrassed expression, Nar thought that he was reluctant, so he added: "Of course, if you can state it clearly on your own, I am also willing to help you submit your paper, please believe in my character, and you will not covet this glory." ”
Charlie hurriedly explained: "Teacher, you misunderstood, I don't care about its ownership, I just think it was praised too much by the teacher, I said casually, it is my honor to be able to trigger the teacher's inspiration, if the teacher wants to use, although to use, moreover, the teacher can win the award, but also because of your personal accumulation." ”
Charlie knew one thing very well that the benefits he received from submitting his papers were far less than those obtained by Master Nar from submitting them, and that he needed the friendship of Master Nar now.
Nar nodded: "Okay, then I'll be cheeky and do it according to the first plan, this is my job, I want to break the deadlock of the project and push it forward."
You don't have to be too polite, as the second author is also rewarded with points, you don't need to save the academy, in fact, under the guise of this project, there are many tutors who cheat funds and resources.
There are some annual awards in the Millennium Magic Newspaper, and its rewards are good, and here is your contribution, I believe you will not be disappointed. ”
To be called a good reward by Master Nar, of course it is a good reward, and in the face of embarrassment and resources, Charlie did not hesitate to choose the latter.
"Okay, thank you, teacher!"
As he spoke, Nar picked up the quill and wrote hard, he was really a pragmatic man.
Charlie couldn't help but remind: "Teacher, you haven't solved my doubts yet, what's going on with my bottleneck?"
Nar sighed, smiled, and said, "I almost forgot this, but you give me a little time first, and I'll record some thoughts so that I don't forget them afterwards." ”
"Good. ”
After a moment, Nar put down his pen and said, "The reason why you are stuck in a bottleneck is simple, because the magic you have now is actually fake magic. ”
"Ah?!" Charlie was shocked, he had guessed many reasons, but he didn't think of this possibility.
Nar said: "The magic you are learning now is the masterpiece of the previous Venerable Faraday, who independently completed most of the simplification of plastic magic, and made a significant contribution to the popularization of magic, and the framework he left behind is still used by us today, and more magic is constantly simplified.
Lord Faraday named the simplified magic "Elemental Magic", and all you need to do is have a piece of equipment with a mana pool and learn the spell to cast it.
The reason why you can't comprehend level 4 magic is because none of the level 4 magic has been simplified by the framework. ”
I see.
Charlie then asked, "What should complete magic look like?"
Nar didn't follow Charlie's train of thought, and he continued: "Academically, ancient magic is divided into the following eight factions: protection, spells, prophecy, enchantment, plasticity, illusion, necromancy, and change.
Generally speaking, personal energy is limited, and the teacher will ask you to choose a faction and study deeply.
Let me ask you, has Anthony taught you magic now?"
Charlie shook his head.
Nar sighed, "You've got the wrong teacher!" Anthony can get the qualification of a mentor, which is enough to prove his talent, but he has a very serious mental illness, and the denial of his magical talent has become a pathology, which seriously affects his mentality and behavior, and now I am more and more worried about your match with Peter. ”
Charlie spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't have a choice! At that time, the talent evaluation was over, and the total score was only 26 points, if I didn't choose him, I'm afraid I would have left the Arcane Ring by now and was doing some miscellaneous work in Skyrim Harbor." ”
"Yes! The Talent Research Institute is not a shallow harm! If the new Wizard Rating Project was completed, maybe this mistake would not be made. ”
Charlie nodded.
Then, Nar began to explain the origin of magic, "A complete magic has its own unique spell model, which contains spells, gesture guidance, magic pattern construction, magic transformation, spirit locking, and finally spell activation.
Lord Faraday integrated most of the spell models of low-level magic into a spell, and subtly changed the vibration frequency of mental power through changes in pitch and rhythm to complete the construction of the spell, so magic became so simple. ”
Charlie suddenly realized, and the haze in his heart was swept away.
As he spoke, Nar took out two books from the bookshelf and handed them to Charlie, "It's not difficult to break the bottleneck, there are two books here, one is "Faraday's Elemental Magic", and the other is "Fourth-Order Spell Model Analysis".
The first book describes Faraday's research and is a must-read for Star Mages, describing many of the elementary magic spell models, which are relatively simple and you must master them well, and it will help you understand the more difficult spell models.
The second book contains some spell models that you can try to build and comprehend, and if you can comprehend 10 fourth-order spells, it means that you are only one requirement away from the title of 'Star Mage': increase the capacity of your personal mana pool to 2000. ”
Charlie smiled bitterly, "At the current pace, accumulating mana is also a difficult goal. ”
Nar smiled: "This request is made to spur you on, so that you don't settle for the status quo, and now that you have a more urgent crisis, I don't need to add this request to you, I just worry about whether you can pass Peter's pass." ”
Master Nar can see his own maintenance, and in front of Mr. Ferrinand that day, he contradicted the Dharma Zun in order to save him, and now although there is no master-apprentice relationship, he has begun to fulfill his obligations as a teacher.
Of course, Charlie is also worthy of his favor.
Anthony, by contrast, was speechless after only one rebuttal.
Charlie doesn't blame Anthony, after all, he is just a Haoyue-level mage, and the level gap is here, if Anthony says a few more words and angers Ferrinand, I'm afraid the end will not be much better than Charlie.
Charlie took the book and bowed sincerely, "Thank you, teacher! Don't worry, teacher, I won't lose to Peter!"
Nar smiled slightly, "It's good to have confidence, come on!"
