Chapter 187: A Scholar's Touch

In the silent study, Alan sat upright at the desk, his expression solemn, and his left hand, which radiated a dark blue light like stars, slowly stroked a book on the table called "The History of the Architectural History of the Stars".

The light emanated from all over his hand, spread and permeated the books, and countless words poured into the palm of Allen's hand that fit the book along the mysterious starlight, and then magically appeared in his heart, and the characters flew one after another, forming a smooth passage, and then hidden in the depths of his mind.

In about half a minute, the light on Allen's left hand dissipated, and he withdrew his hand because of this, closed his eyes and thought carefully, and the character passages appeared, and the content of this "History of the Architectural History of the Stars" appeared in his mind exactly as it happened.

And yet he didn't even open the book!

The result is a spell skill called Scholar's Touch, which he had previously extracted after being charged, and it has no lethal power, but its function is very interesting.

This spell allows the caster to read a book in a short period of time and keep it in their minds, so that they can remember it if they think about it!

If it is placed in the previous life, this spell is simply a magic skill, with the ability to read books in an instant, it can completely save a lot of time and energy spent on reading books, and there is no need to memorize anything at all.

It's a pity that Alan is not in the ordinary world of his previous life, but it's a pity that he can't use it to cheat on life.

However, relatively speaking, the scholar's touch is also a strong skill in this world, but it can't be called a divine skill.

With this experiment, coupled with the flood of memory, Eren has almost figured out this spell.

First of all, it can only be effective on non-magical books, that is, books that simply record knowledge in ordinary words, and cannot work on magical words and runes.

This is nothing, Alan has not seen a book made of magical words for so long, and he has always read these ordinary books, so this limitation cannot be called a restriction for him at the moment;

And the magic runes don't need this spell, he has a spell called reading magic, which is just the opposite of the scholar's touch, and can only read magic words, which just complements each other.

But the flaws of this spell don't stop there,

There is basically no difference between the knowledge learned by rote memorization with the touch of a scholar, and the caster can memorize this knowledge in a short period of time, but the meaning contained in the knowledge is completely incomprehensible, and if you want to understand it, you have to understand it yourself.

It's the kind of real incomprehension, there will be no understanding at all, just like a book downloaded from a hard drive, the hard drive has this kind of knowledge, and if you want to use it, you can mobilize it instantly, but the hard drive won't understand this knowledge.

This is actually nothing, compared to memorizing knowledge, it is much easier to understand knowledge, and the fun contained in it is not comparable to rote memorization, at least Alan thinks so.

However, this shortcoming has an extension flaw, or that metaphor, the books placed in the hard disk can be transferred instantly, but they can't comprehend the slightest, so the caster can't use this knowledge at all if he encounters any related problems in his life, because if you don't have it, you won't be able to remember the content of the book at all when you encounter problems, and only if you subjectively mobilize it, the knowledge in the book will appear in your mind.

This can be said to be a little worse than rote memorization, how much you can see, how much rote memorization has also read, and the result of this spell is to turn your brain into a hard drive, and then download the book in it, if you don't open it, then it will eat dust in the corner permanently, and it won't help you in any way.

"So the effect of this spell is to keep the book in your head and access it whenever you want to read it, just like the library. โ€

Alan touched his chin, thinking that this spell was still good, in case he encountered a long-term adventure, like the time he fell into the abyss a few days ago, he could also read a book anytime and anywhere, so that it would not be so boring.

"It's a pity that there are no exams in this world...."

Inexplicably a little regretful about this, Alan shook his head, and then looked at the other items on the table.

At this time, on the table, a pile of equipment is being placed.

A pair of brown leather boots with a simple and featureless shape.

A black coat, round and looking like a grenade.

a silver revolver with a beautiful shape and a sense of technology;

A blue card with a water drop on it.

Speed Boots, Goblin Bomb, Jinx's Apprentice Firearms, Cards.activated,

This is what Alan extracted when he was in the underworld, and as the husky and him escaped from the underworld, these things were also very comfortingly "escaped".

Needless to say, the effect of the Speed Boots is that when you wear them, you can speed up your running speed, so that Eren can run around like a gust of wind, and ordinary creatures can't catch his shadow at all.

The Goblin Bomb was unused, but it was clear that it was a grenade.

Alan hasn't had the opportunity to use it yet, but he thinks that this thing will definitely be able to be used in the future, so he still likes it.

However, the thought of carrying it with him made Alan feel a thrill, and he always felt that this thing was dangerous and unstable.

Jinx's apprentice firearm, although the name has the word apprentice, but the appearance of this gun is not "apprentice", it is angular and full of technology, and this silver revolver looks very handsome on the outside.

However, when you open the chamber, you will find that it only has six bullets!

What do six bullets do? Kill six people?

How lethal is it?

Alan didn't know.

Like the bomb, he hadn't had a chance to use the firearm before, and he didn't know anything about its abilities, so he couldn't figure out how much it would help.

The last item is a card, and the boxy shape, the watery and clear water drop pattern, and the feeling of precipitation like steel in the hand all prove that this thing is extraordinary.

What's even more noticeable is that a hidden magic force can be clearly felt by Allen, the white light of the cards in his hand flickered, and the magic power was secretly surging, and it seemed that there was a lot of energy inside.

It's a magic item, but Alan is shocked to find that he doesn't know exactly how to use the card.

There is no description of the six-pointed star item gift, just a simple image. At that time, the image was that the translucent magic flowing out of the card poured into the mage's body, and Alan was very lacking in magic at that time, so he didn't think much about it after seeing the image, and chose it directly.

And then he was dumbfounded now.

The card is supposed to work on the mage himself, but how does he use it?

Activated with mana?

His magic was instilled into it, and it could be called a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reaction at all.

Crush it?

Holding it in his hand, feeling how hard the card was, Alan felt as if he didn't have the strength to crush something that felt like a steel plate.

"Do you need to eat it?"

This strange thought appeared in his heart, and Alan, who was sitting at the desk, picked up the cards and gestured at them, and then gave up in despair-

His mouth wasn't that big he couldn't swallow.

After experimenting with many things to no avail, he shook his head and put the card down for the time being, waiting to be studied later

Then he began to organize the items on the tableโ€”

The boots were put on, the cards, grenades, and revolvers were all put into the inner pocket of the cloak, and it didn't take much space to get these small pieces of equipment completely contained on Allen's body, and his appearance was not visible at all.

These equipment seemed to be useful, so he chose to carry them with him, but unfortunately, the weak protective ring that he valued more had already "fallen" in the underground world, and he didn't even bring a scum, which has always made him regret.

He had thought he would have time to study the structure of the ring.

The objects that are gifted do not change out of thin air, and their internal structure is reasonable, not chaotic.

Just like when Alan dismantled the Wall-E Glitter in the Underworld, the gift items are all detachable and orderly, and all the internal structures are clearly visible-

This means that the gift item can be researched.

If it can be studied, it is naturally possible to understand the rules inside, and then mass production.

Unfortunately, Alan didn't know anything about this kind of study, whether it was mechanical engineering or magic, he was a layman, so these items in his hands could only be used.

However, just because he is a layman does not mean that all locals are laymen.

He could have taken out the gift items for others to study, such as the mage Simon hiding in the alchemy house outside the castle, who is a research maniac, or "tech nerd".

Since he was hired by Allen, the alchemist Simon has been squatting in the alchemy room all day to study alchemy and spells, and people rarely see him go out, and Alan has not even seen him.

In a sense, this kind of research dog is more suitable for owning a six-pointed star than Allen, because it will allow them to discover all kinds of new technologies and stay ahead of the times.

On the contrary, Allen's personal memory of his previous life is blank, with only a general outline and common-sense knowledge, and no deep scientific knowledge at all, and he is basically in the stage where he can only read and hyphenate words.

To put it simply, he is "illiterate", and he does not have the slightest ability and spirit to study.

At the same time, in this world, in terms of spells, Alan from the wild road can also be called a blind ruckus, and the ability in the research area is blank, although he has been taught by Raphael, but what he teaches is also only some common sense knowledge, and there is still no deeper research and development.

But those things, to be honest, are of little use to Allen, his spell learning is all based on the six-pointed star, the casting heart moves at will, and the spell can be released by secretly thinking about it, under this condition, delving into something is basically a waste of time.

With this in mind, it is better to find a way to harvest the attention of the mages, because it will allow him to grow faster.

However, Allen does not plan to study hard, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to this part, science is the primary productive force, and this rule is universal in any world.

No matter how strong a single person is, it is only a single person, and if it can guide the progress of world science, then the improvement of the overall environment is a great thing for the benefit of the world.

Of course, Alan is not ready to benefit this world, he just wants to use this kind of thing to benefit himself, the charging of the six-pointed star requires the mage to breed all kinds of emotions against him, Alan feels that the bigger the thing he does, the more it can arouse the emotions of the mage group, and the more energy he can harvest, and the more energy, the more interesting things he can extract will naturally be richer.

Yes, interesting, not of high quality.

For Allen, it's not interesting to be too powerful, and he hasn't been living in that kind of environment that is precarious, there is no need to make himself the best in the world or anything, in terms of ability, as long as he can protect himself, he doesn't need to think about how to become stronger all day long.

He loves interesting abilities and items, like that fool's touch that he can't forget....

It's a bit of an ambition, but the pursuit of fun is his goal in life, and power is relatively secondary.

"Who makes the world so boring. Looking out the window of the castle at the turquoise sea, he muttered in a low voice
