Chapter 150: The Mage's Conversation

"Have you decided what kind of magic to choose to study?"

Lu Mengyao tugged at the apprentice robe she had put on, which seemed to be a little too wide. This uniform was distributed to all the students by the mage academy in Wintercastle, and the mages did not seem to be short of money, not only did they not allow the students to pay tuition, but they also regularly sent thirty gold coins per month to the students as a living allowance. It can be seen that the enchantment work here has increased the income of the academy a lot.

"I'd like to try the summoning system...... And the recovery system. Sadako Yamamura looked a little taller than Lu Mengyao, but when she spoke, her momentum was completely overwhelmed.

"Ah, you've positioned yourself as a summoner. Very good. Lu Mengyao shook her fingers, "I have currently selected the Illusion Department, the Transformation Department, and the Destruction Department, and the two of us can just complement each other, which is great." I feel like yours and I are a natural match! How about you, would you like to team up with me? ”

"Uh...... It depends. Let's talk about it when we've passed through this world first. ”

"How's it going? How many spells have you learned? ”

“…… Well, not a lot. In the summoning department, I only learned the 'Sword of Restraint' and 'Summoning the Demon Pet', and I'm still learning 'Resurrecting the Dead'......"

"It's not bad. This progress can be said to be very fast. Lu Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

The source of the spells in The Elder Scrolls Universe is the sun, or "light". In the magic system of this worldly realm, "light" is the most basic element of magic. After Magnus, one of the three gods of creation, found himself increasingly bound by this realm of reality, he tore open the space and fled back to the "realm of light" where the Holy Spirit resides. That is, the Wizarding World, and this rift formed the sun in the sky. The sun has become a conduit between the realm of reality and the realm of light. And the infinite magical element (i.e., the light) poured down from this channel, covering the entire planet of Nain.

The same amount of force also builds the soul of life. Souls are made of light, as evidenced by the enchantment doctrine in The Elder Scrolls Universe. Any effect that manipulates the elements of magic or the soul of everything to cause the flow of energy or the change of matter is called magic.

In general, except for the divine magic obtained by praying to the Holy Spirit, the elusive dragon roar, and the "sword song" that appeared in history to shape the blade of energy with soul energy, the rest of the magic is called "logical magic", that is, magic that has a theory to follow and can be learned through systematic learning. All "logical magic" is "translated" from "non-logical magic". Generations of magical researchers have tried to find patterns in the flow of magical elements, and have repeatedly tested the possible effects. Those who succeed leave behind the magic that has matured, and those who come after it continue to improve and translate new magic...... This is what the Masters do.

In the earliest days, the logic magic in The Elder Scrolls was divided into the secret art of the Saik and the pitch magic of the Dwarves. The former uses the caster's own soul energy as a "lever" to leverage the non-life energy of the outside world through various calculation relationships, so that these energies can exert different effects according to certain principles; The latter, on the other hand, is a lost skill, and strictly speaking it is a very rigorous science. Dwarves can change the natural properties of matter according to "resonance".

On the basis of the secret art of Said, the archmage Galiland completed the classification of magical doctrines. In the beginning, magic was divided into four categories: Change, Destruction, Illusion, and Thaumaturgy, and later gradually added summoning and restoration.

The classification of magic in this world is not simply based on its effects. Rather, each type of magic has its own basic principles. For example, the core idea of the change system is to "transform one object into another without loss", directly changing the physical and magical properties of the affected object; The core idea of illusion is "to manipulate the light and then to control everything that is illuminated by the light", and this spell is not just to create illusions. After entering the deep study, this spell can even directly act on the perception of soul-possessed beings through the nature of light.

It is worth mentioning the already lost school of magic "thaumaturgy". This spell acts directly on the chain of causal logic, changing the laws of physics to achieve the desired effect. Because there are too many variables in this spell. It was a hassle to calculate, and later the various spell departments developed magic with the same effect but easier to cast, and the thaumaturgical system gradually declined.

Sadako Yamamura's current study of the "summoning system" is to make a contract with creatures in the realm of annihilation, summon them to the present world, and serve the summoner for a certain period of time. It is worth noting that necromancy also belongs to the summoning system, and in this world, the place where the soul of the vast majority of humans after death is the soul stone mound, a part of the annihilation realm, so necromancy also belongs to the "summoning system".

"That, Miss Lu, I have something I want to ask you." Sadako Yamamura suddenly asked, "You already have a ...... There are other magic systems, why do you need to learn new magic here? ”

The female mage rubbed the corners of her mouth and smiled:

"Why not?"

“……？”

"I mean...... My original spell system was a mage in the Dungeons & Dragons system, Arcane. Through the link to the magic web in space, 'download' the spell. We reshape the elemental energy with the help of nodes in the magic web, and build the effects of various spells. Lu Mengyao sat under the platform of the mage statue, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Unless it is a warlock with a special bloodline, mage is a very restricted profession. We have to re-prepare memory spells every day, and there is a limit to 'spell slots'. You can only release a fixed amount of a fixed type of magic every day, and you need to prepare all kinds of strange spell casting materials, and once you run out, you have to memorize them again...... Do you hear the drawbacks of this profession? It's powerful, but it's hard to use. ”

She unconsciously stroked the large metal-clad book hanging from her waist with her hand and continued, "You should understand that this rigid and troublesome spellcasting pattern must be improved. And the spellcasters in this world, their spellcasting system is the so-called ...... 'Blue Striped Mage'. Other words. As long as they are able to have enough magical energy, they can cast spells without restrictions. And this magical energy, or rather energy. It can be replenished with various alchemy potions. It's funny, isn't it? This kind of blue-striped mage is much more convenient than the so-called spell slot mage......"

"But......" Sadako Yamamura tried to clear her mind, "since your original series of magic still exists, there must be something more superior." For example......

"For example, there are many types, powerful and almost endless amounts of magic that have been studied. as well as a variety of powerful magic items. Lu Mengyao flicked the ashes of her cigarette, she stood up, and asked, "This involves a power system in different worlds - the question of what can be used universally." Have you thought about it? The casting of spells in our world requires the use of magic nets, but in this world - there is no magic goddess, no magic nets, but my spells can still be used. What is this for? ”

Don't wait for the other person to answer. Lu Mengyao herself explained the problem:

"Because of the center of the world, because this is the game of heaven. Why can the different forces of each world pass unimpeded? Why do I still have access to the magic web here? Because in every world it has established, there is the law of the magic net. In order to support the operation of these different abilities, each world is wrapped in dense 'laws'. This is why we can see the Gaita Robot vs. the Eastern Cultivator, or the Cosmic Monster vs. Superman vs. something like that. The various laws merge with each other and form the basis of the entire game of Heaven. ”

On this basis, all laws and forces are put on the same platform to compete, and the advantages and disadvantages must be distinguished. What I know of the Tao is that in the 'Philosopher's Country', the union of the mages, there are some people who think so. The spell slot's cast mode is superior to the blue bar, as it tests the user's intelligence, judgment, and a mess of Brabra in comparison...... But that's all fart. Lu Mengyao coldly spit out these words.

She watched the slender women's cigarette burn between her fingers and continued to make her point:

"It goes without saying. The easier it is to cast a spell, the better the magic. The reason those guys are more slot-oriented is because they're the ones who use slots. Spell slots are more difficult to cast. There are higher demands on the user, and if the spell slot is recognized as the 'correct' caster, they can continue to reside in the old tower. With a sense of superiority, he looked down at the crowd below...... The real reason they hate Master Blue Stripes is because they know the way. Someday, the blue-striped spellcasting will rip them off the sky. Then stand higher than them. They are fearing the Blue Striped Mage. It's like cars will eventually replace sedan chairs, no matter how gorgeous and beautiful the sedan chair is, or how many ways to lift the sedan chair invented by the sedan drivers over a long period of time, how to lift the sedan chair more labor-saving and convenient, use robots to lift the sedan chair, and even all kinds of black technology sedan chairs - it will eventually be eliminated. It is placed in the museum, and it is pulled out to visit during the New Year's holidays, and some of the techniques may be referenced, and some enthusiasts may continue to study it, but now, it is a more advanced era. ”

“………………”

Why is she always habitually tirade? And weren't we walking in the beginning? Sadako Yamamura couldn't help but think that in front of this somewhat strange female mage, she always couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought, which made her feel a little frustrated, as if she could never keep up with the other person's thinking speed......

"No, please don't care. It's a habit I used to get, and I can't help but gush about it. Lu Mengyao's eyes rolled, and then changed to another topic.

"That's it, let's do your main quest together now, anyway, I've already entered a lot of spell information into my phone, and then our self-cultivation is enough. Later, one of the subplots you may encounter after joining the Stormcloak is for Ufrik. Stormcloak in search of the lost Jeweled Crown. I've got the map here, and I know that it's in Kovanjond—so we can get ahead of the adventurer supporting the Imperial Army, right? ”

In the face of this sudden invitation, Sadako Yamamura urgently summoned Su Jing, and two seconds later, the reply came:

[Promise her.] I've got the Winter Castle helmet, and I'm going to go to Covanjonde. Set up an ambush there and deal with her in one go! In this way, the main task of this world realm will be basically solved. 】

"Got it......"

Sadako Yamamura's eyelids drooped, then she looked at Lu Mengyao and nodded slightly.

"Okay, then let's go together." (To be continued......)
