Chapter 22: The Method of Practice

Xiao Chen took out a space bag from his arms, this was the only space treasure in the school so far, and it was left by the temple priest who was killed.

It's not as cool as a Space Ring or a Bracelet, but it's better than an Enchanted Suitcase. And finally let Xiao Chen find the feeling that the mage in the story is a treasure that comes and goes when he is summoned.

The space bag keeps about one cubic meter of magical space in a volume the size of a money bag, unlike the legendary space ring that can be operated with only a hint of thought, and the contents of the space bag need to be picked up by hand.

And its peculiarity is that the length, width and height of the things placed in it have all shrunk to about one-fifth of the original size, and the weight is less than one percent. But after the hand reached in, it still felt like it was a 20-centimeter-long bag, and one hand could reach the bottom of the bag.

Xiao Chen felt that this was because the rules of the space bag only worked on dead objects, so his hand was immune to this shrinking effect.

He rummaged through it for a while, pulling out a mug with a handle, and pen and paper. These things grew in size in the short time they had passed through the pouch.

It's a very strange experience, and people who don't have a good grasp of it tend to lose their grip at the moment and let it fall.

He put the mug on the coffee table, and then put the pen and paper in front of Javier, "Your Highness Javier, try to think about it, from the front, back, left, right, up and down six angles, what does this cup look like? You can't move the cup, you can only rely on your imagination." Then draw them down. ”

Havel obediently began to observe the cup, and then began to draw, and it can be seen that he has learned to draw, and even the first time he used a ballpoint pen, the drawing is not bad. But after he drew for a while, Ye Zi began to snicker.

Except for drawing the side of the cup that he could see correctly, Javier made all sorts of mistakes in all directions. For example, in the view above, you can still see the round hole in the middle of the handle. Or from the side of the handle, the handle is still curved.

After he finished painting, Xiao Chen said, "You can see for yourself." ”

Javier picked up the cup and spun it around, his face quickly turning red.

"I'm sorry. But I just can't figure out what it should be like to look in these directions. Javier whispered.

Xiao Chen took the cup and comforted: "It's okay, it's not your problem, but it involves a talent, which we call spatial imagination ability." Because the magic model itself is a three-dimensional figure. If you can't understand it from the drawings, you won't be able to mentally sketch out what the model will look like. ”

Hearing his lack of talent, Javier's face turned white: "But, but I want to become a great magician, so that I can destroy the people of the empire for my father." I, can't I be a mage?"

Xiao Chen said: "Don't worry, it's just that you lack the ability to imagine space." I happen to have a set of toys here to work on this. ”

Xiao Chen took out a bag of snowflake toys from the space bag, these toys were not plastic, but made of wood, and they were smaller than the original. These snowflakes were created by carpenters in the town of Floro and were specially used to make spell models, not only flat eight-grooved snowflakes, but also two staggered, cross-shaped connecting pieces, or corner pieces bent at specific angles, which can be built more accurately than traditional snowflake blocks.

However, this kind of building block is only used for demonstration by the mages of the royal capital, and it can only express the static structure, and cannot show the dynamic changes in the operation of the model. But in any case, it's much easier to understand than the structure drawn on paper.

Xiao Chen: They used 3Ds Max software on their laptops to study the model themselves. Just like every time Li Jia comprehends a new spell, she will return to the station to build the model and make it into an animation, so that she can go back to school to popularize it.

Javier had obviously never seen such a toy, he was still a child, and picked up a few blocks and played with them in his hands.

Xiao Chen demonstrated how to build a cube and rotated it in his hand.

"Every day you try to build them into various shapes, and then you take them in your hand and look at them, thinking about the shape from each angle, and you will slowly grow. ”

"I can play with Sister Ye Zi when I have time. When you get acquainted with this, your spatial imagination will naturally go up. ”

Ye Zibai glanced at Xiao Chen, but still touched Xavier's head, "Don't worry, I'm a master at playing this." ”

"Okay. Javier quickly took on a strange shape in his hand, and the child's mind was uncertain, and his mood had long since recovered, and he asked, "What about the fire technique? If I had to practice it for many days to learn, my mother and teacher would have been disappointed." Your Excellency Xiao Chen, do you have a way to hurry up?"

"It's not hard. Xiao Chen took out dozens of snowflake building blocks, and with a thought, they floated, arranged and combined in the air, and finally plugged together, forming two models of ignition techniques, one is the starting state and the other is the end state, under the control of Xiao Chen's spiritual power, the two models rotated together in the air, "Look carefully! You need to imagine now how the model slowly changed from the left to the right." ”

Javier looked at the model in a daze, and fell into a trance.

"I've never understood why the magicians here don't develop these aids to learn magic. Li Jia said.

"I believe there must be. However, it is not necessarily used to teach children. Judging from the degree to which the mage here selects the heirs, I'm afraid that children who can't understand the graphics themselves have no educational value at all, right?" Xiao Chen maintained the rotation of the two models, and at the same time talked to Li Jia, which was the embodiment of the ability to distract oneself.

"I thought magic was something that only a few people could master. But the more I contacted, the more I found that in fact, those passes did not seem to be so difficult. Li Jia said again.

"Then why are there so few magicians?" Ye Zi asked, "I've heard those magic apprentices secretly complaining that magic is too difficult to learn several times, these people should all be qualified, right?"

"Have you ever thought about what kind of course it would be if you took magic as a course?" Xiao Chen said with a smile: "If magic is viewed from a mathematical point of view, the structure of the model is considered three-dimensional geometry, right? Like this ignition model, it is roughly a sphere with three flutes, and there are two magic characters involved in it. In other words, for an apprentice to learn this magic, he must be able to use his mental power to write two mutated forms of magic 'fire' and 'flash', combine them with some lines to form a sphere, and finally let these components move until the end. I think it is very difficult to do this without the initial level of Chinese. ”

Ye Zi nodded in agreement.

"More powerful magic is much more complicated, so how can there be more magicians in this world full of illiterates?" Xiao Chen asked rhetorically.

"But our school is different......" Ye Zi was interrupted by Xiao Chen's silent gesture as soon as he spoke. He gestured with his eyes to Javier in front of him.

Sure enough, Javier was out of that state and came to his senses.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Xiao Chen. I think...... I think I did. He held out his hand, and a glittering spark came out of his fingers.
