42 Growing pains

Shirakawa thought about it for a while, and finally picked up the book "Fundamentals of Prophecy Spells".

Three-Body Research Institute: You decided to study it first?

"That's right. Bai Hedao: "No matter what kind of spell you study in the future, you must always use this thing, the basic knowledge of prophecy spells is the most important, there are at least two contents that need to be learned: one is observation, the other is searching, there is a zero-level spell here that is very important, called energy identification, which can better help me understand the book "Fundamentals of Energy", my dear mentor probably won't teach me the knowledge of other spells, I'm afraid we have to explore ourselves." ”

Trisolar: What are your thoughts?

Bai He took out Jonker Valech's spell book and scroll from the stack of books: "There are six first-level spells in this spell book, namely Feather Fall, Magic Missile, Colorful Spray, Magic Alert, Shield Technique, and Identification Technique, two second-level spells Levitation Technique and Strong Acid Arrow, as for the scroll, including a Owl's Wisdom and a Bear's Strength, as well as a third-level Fireball Technique, and a third-level Monster Summoning Technique, that is to say, aside from the spells of the prophecy system, there are at least 11 spells of other departments here for me to learn." The foundation of magic is the individual mage, but the effect of magic and the direct object of magic are all kinds of matter and energy: for example, necromancy mainly uses soul and negative energy, plastic energy is aimed at low temperature, high temperature, thunder and other energy, change is aimed at matter and space, spells tend to create out of nothing and operate rules, illusion is aimed at light and shadow, and confusion is aimed at the mind. ”

Trisolaran: It sounds feasible, but it must be a lot of work.

"There is a lot of work to do, set a goal first, just from this spell list, we can study a lot of things, but there are very few valuable ones, for example, we don't have a soul, so just studying negative energy can't master the technique of summoning or creating undead, so we have to change the goal. Bai Long muttered: "There are also material limitations, dear mentor will not connect our spell casting material package to his own material warehouse, so we must first study the technique of casting spells without materials, how are you researching?"

It's pretty much already figured out.

Three-Body Research Institute: The materials used in the spell casting process are to draw out some special mental power or material energy characteristics, if you can fill in this part with the magic structure in the process of preparing the spell, the material will become a dispensable thing, but there are a few issues to be aware of: 1, you must re-study all the spells and rewrite the base spells in the spell book, 2, in order to do this, you also have to carefully study the role of each spell casting material in the spell process, which itself also means that you need a certain amount of materials as an experiment, 3, which will make your preparation of spells more lengthy, the requirements for spell spells and mana manipulation are also more demanding.

"In this way, materials are still needed, and there are another batch of spells that cannot be studied. ”

Bai He picked and chosen, and finally picked out a third-level monster summoning technique.

"That's it, the rest is either useless or unstudied, or it's just too simple. He sighed, "This one can at least study the plane and the contract, and maybe there will be some other surprises, even if you can't study anything, he is a powerful spell in his own right." ”

What about research methods?

"Learn first, then split the magic structure, then experiment with each part separately, if it doesn't work, then split it again, leave the data integration and analysis to you, and I will be responsible for experimenting, recording and learning again. ”

Yes.

......

A month is enough time for Bai He to study many things, his observation energy spells have been well developed, and even dragons are naturally sensitive to spells, he can quickly see the type and nature of a certain energy without casting spells, and even as long as he sees the fluctuating shape of the magic net from a distance, he knows what form the energy is going to surge, which makes him see several fierce magic battles when he observes the middle of the town from the balcony on the second floor, and he can tell that both sides are low-level wizards- At most, he has mastered the arcane arts of the 3 rings, and the techniques he uses are crude, but he is very fastβ€”probably because he is used to fighting.

The white dragon silently observed a few of these battles from the balcony, and then turned to the study of the arcane, which was crude but not small.

The spell monster summoning spell is not difficult, but the process is very troublesome - it is a spell that is divided into two stages, the first stage requires the first stage to summon a creature from the other world through a ritual and sign a contract with it, and the second stage is to summon it through the contract through space.

Through the scroll, Shirakawa can only complete the second summoning, and then re-sign a new contract with the summoned monster through the first base spell recorded on the scroll.

The summon is a small wind elemental, and it is very angry at Shirakawa's 'treachery' re-contract enslavement, but it can only succumb to the constraints of magic - even without magic, his combat power is far worse than that of the white dragon, and when the dense basic spell is copied on the spell book, the white dragon breathes a sigh of relief, and this research can continue.

The difficulty of the spell has gradually surfaced, the contract is not a complicated thing, the complicated thing is to summon this creature from the distant elemental plane, what is the principle by which it is done?

......

According to the book "Fundamentals of Prophecy", to reach this conclusion, you should try to observe the 'source'. According to our analysis, this thing seems to have a deep connection with the will of this world: it seems that the main body of the magic web is in the source, almost all spells related to the plane, time and space, and creation need to be effected through it, and the observation of the prophet must also be carried out here, it connects the entire multiverse, according to the foundation of the prophecy spell, it seems that the river of time is in the depths of the 'source' where the gods can hardly touch.

The three-body man analyzed the white dragon.

"So start studying this spell now?" Bai Long flipped through the textbook and found the spell 'Source Force Observation', which is a first-level prophecy spell, which is the basis of all prophecy spells related to observation and prediction, although few mages will prepare it during battle, but it is extremely important in magic research.

He silently recorded the spell in the book, although he had only learned it for less than a month, but the first-level spell was no longer difficult for the current white dragon, he recited the spell, and completed this spell that was not complicated among the first-level spells in just a few movements, and he immediately felt that his vision was separated from his body, and the whole world seemed to change.

What was real seemed to be a thin phantom in his vision, and a strange new world appeared before his eyes.

Like layers of painting paper, countless planes are intertwined in this strange space in an indescribable way by Bai He, when Bai He roughly glances, they are like two-dimensional pieces of paper, and when Bai He stares seriously, they seem to become a real three-dimensional world, as if stretching out his fingers to pierce the layer of painting paper can enter another world. However, when you stick your finger out, you will find that the target is far away.

The chaotic etheric plane connects the inner layer, the vast astral plane connects with the outside world, and the central material realm lies in it, making Shirakawa feel so small.

However, when he looked down, he could see that he was in a small laboratory.

Bai He saw that the magical aura emanating from his spell book seemed to be connected with a huge web shuttling between the planes in this plane, and he realized that this was the legendary magic web, an invisible but perceptible thin line poked out of the spell book, like a needle penetrating the layers of planes, and finally penetrated deep into the inner layer through the etheric realm.

The roaring storm flickered there, but it could be faintly heard by Shirakawa.

This is the connection between the contract and the elemental realm?

Bai He frowned, knowing that if he could use a contract summon in this state, he would definitely greatly improve his understanding of the magical phenomenon of plane shuttle, but at this moment, the embarrassing thing was that he no longer had a spell.

The number of times he was able to cast a level 3 spell was only once, unless he had a good night's sleep.

And something that made Bai He even more unhappy also happened about a minute after he stared at 'Dayuan' - what seemed to be a muffled whisper at first gradually amplified into a hoarse and completely inaudible shout, mixed with a piercing roar, like Dou Daxian's "Golden Mantra" in his previous life But there was no rhythm, he raised his eyes in a cold sweat, saw the distorted magic net and the unrecognizable magic text, and suddenly knew that although he had often regained his energy in the form of a short light sleep these days, delaying the erosion of the magic net on his mind, and minimizing the release of spells, but at this point in time, it was completely unsupportable.

Observing Dayuan closely, the distance between him and the magic net increased the suppression of the magic power, and Bai He fled out of the 'Source Force Vision', and the crystal magnifying glass in his hand turned into powder with a click.

The white dragon sat on the ground and gasped for breath for a long time.

......

Your mental fatigue is so bad that you need to rest!

The Trisolaranist warned.

"No, I have a hunch that once I fall asleep, I will sleep for a long time. Bai Long calmed down a little, although he was not in good spirits, he didn't look as embarrassed as he was just now.

Why?

"My formative years have arrived. Bai Long analyzed this feeling in his body, and said a little depressedly: "After this sleep, I will enter a new age group." ”

Wait a minute! According to the dragons of this world, you seem to have grown up a little too fast, you are at least two years ahead of your fellow citizens.

"Maybe it's because of learning spells. The white dragon was a little helpless: "Didn't you still reflect this problem a few days ago? Over the past few years, the magic power flowing in my body has increased fourfold. And dragons are typical magical creatures, which should be the reason. ”

...... What are you going to do?

"Crossing. Bai Long glanced at his chest: "Endure for another thirteen days, it will be 120 days." ”

You're not ready to go back to our world?

There is something strange about the Trisolaran.

"No, take a gamble in the New World. ”

You don't trust us?

"You know me too well, and you have come into contact with the laws of this world, I am really worried that what you could not decipher and study before will become decipherable, and there are many things in me that are too tempting for you. Shirakawa said bluntly: "Sleeping on your spaceship is too risky for me. ”

...... We understand you, but can you endure the thirteen days? It seems like you're running out of food from the last time.

How can you not help it?

The white dragon bared his teeth and laughed.

The body of a dragon is very durable.

Don't trust my will, at least trust your level of biomodification, don't you?
