"When the book has lost its value to you, give it to someone in need. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The truth is obliged to be preserved. ”

These were the first words Benjamin saw when he opened the title page.

Sure enough, looking further down, the next content is a mage version about the origins of magic and magic, another story of Cain and Abel.

In this story, there are no demons, only the gods of magic and light, who give them the power of magic and magic respectively. The villains of this story are the sinister natural environment and powerful magical beasts, Cain and Abel work together to open up the wilderness and lead mankind to establish their own home.

As with all stories, the good times didn't last long, and the brothers had a disagreement over the sacrifice. The god of magic liked sacrifices of grains and vegetables, so Cain insisted that all sacrifices should be grains and vegetables, and the god of light liked the sacrifices of cattle and sheep, so Abel insisted that all sacrifices should be sheep and cows. Coupled with the constant conflicts between their followers, the two brothers finally broke up and fought in a valley.

Just as the battle was at its most intense, two divine lights suddenly fell from the sky, and the god of magic and the god of light appeared at the same time. Disillusioned with this fratricidal behavior, they sent down divine punishment to kill Cain and Abel, and said that they would never come to the continent again. Since then, this continent has become the "Godforsaken Land", and the place where they fought was also named the "Godforsaken Valley".

Cain and Abel's followers suddenly became leaderless, and long-suppressed contradictions erupted, and the two factions were caught in a long strife. Abel's followers knew better how to win hearts and minds, established churches, and grew on the continent, while Cain's followers slowly became loners and dismissive of huddles.

So, the church gained the upper hand and began to massacre mages. Eventually, the situation on the continent evolved into what it is today.

After reading the mage's story, Benjamin felt that this version was more objective than the church's, and there was nothing to discredit the opponent. However, according to Rashomon's reasoning, as long as it is a person related to this story, his narrative cannot be absolutely objective. Therefore, he read the story with a spirit of inquiry and questioning.

At this moment, his mind is no longer in these messy myths and legends.

The Bible was not thick in the first place, and more than half of the story had been devoted to it, and Benjamin was a little worried about how much magic would be left.

Luckily, as he looked down, Benjamin saw one spell after another: Fireball, Water of Life, Trap...... Among them were the water polo technique he was most familiar with, and the restraint technique that frustrated him.

These spells are pronounced with homophones, which is as simple as "goodmorning" with "Goodmorning". If it weren't for the detailed analysis of the pronunciation of the spells underneath the annotations, Benjamin would have doubted the accuracy of the spells.

Coupled with the fact that Benjamin himself knew the spells of water polo and binding, and so on, he was sure that he would be able to master the pronunciation of other spells and not make mistakes or anything like that.

The rest of the book is devoted to the introduction of these spells one by one, and a total of more than fifty spells are introduced, and the degree of clutter is also visible. Moreover, from the introduction of magic in the book, these are all entry-level magic, easy to use but not very powerful, and many of them can even be called chicken ribs, such as face washing spells, and skin hydration, the person who invented this magic really didn't come from Watsons in his last life?

This made Benjamin still a little disappointed.

He had hoped that the book would explain some theories of magic, explain what the space of consciousness is, and talk about the elements, mental power, and so on. As a result, the book only knows how to put a spell on people.

It's not that the spell is bad, it's just that Benjamin expects more.

He was a little worried, what if the magic level of the entire continent had been in a state of empiricism because of the long-term suppression of the church, and he only knew how to learn spells, but he had not come up with an advanced methodology?

If that's the case, then he's already a leader in the world of magical theory......

After a brief period of disappointment, Mr. "Leader" quickly entered the consciousness space in the spirit of scholarship and began to experiment with more than fifty newly learned spells.

He started with the spells that had nothing to do with "water" and recited them one after the other: fireball, paralysis, shulker...... The result was still the same, there was a faint repulsive force in the consciousness space, and a few times, those free water elements even began to riot, as if to say, "You think of me!

There was no way, so he had to pick another spell for the water barrier, and after confirming its pronunciation, he concentrated and recited it.

A wave of volatility came from him.

The surrounding water elements fluctuated for a while, and slowly had a tendency to gather. However, halfway through their gathering, Benjamin suddenly felt a pain in his head, and the fluctuations disappeared, and the water elementals stopped gathering.

The magic failed.

Benjamin was not discouraged, he felt that this magic was still playful. So, he cast a water barrier over and over again. Finally, after more than a dozen failures, he succeeded.

A film filled with water vapor enveloped him like a bubble, and a feeling of connection made him feel fresh. He looked at this seemingly weak barrier, couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to poke it.

The bubble popped.

Damn, it's really weak......

No way, the first time you use this magic, the power will definitely not be great. Benjamin had to comfort himself with this, and then, with the same ruthlessness as the single looping spell, he began to practice the magic over and over again.

It turns out that repeating a less proficient spell can be quite laborious, especially after each failed spell and a little backlash. After numerous failures, he was kicked out of the space of consciousness again.

And in these countless exercises, only five spells were successfully cast.

Obviously, magic with such a low success rate is impossible to use in actual combat.

Benjamin was disappointed at first, but thanks to the intellectual curiosity that modern education had given him, he quickly calmed down and began to wonder why this was the case. He had used the water polo technique countless times in the space of consciousness, and the success rate was 100%, and it didn't cost much energy. The water barrier is a little more complicated than the water polo technique, but it's not that complicated, right?

What's the problem?

After comparing the casting process of the Water Polo Technique with the casting process of the Water Barrier, Benjamin discovered the answer.

It's because of the blue character that shines in the space of consciousness.

When he uses the Water Balloon technique, the characters vibrate and emit waves to channel the water elementals. And when he used the water barrier, the characters were not involved in this process, he could only rely on himself to send out fluctuations, and his control over the water element was greatly reduced.

With this in mind, an even bigger problem arises again.

Why didn't the characters respond when he recited the Water Barrier spell?

Or to put it another way, what does he have to do to get the characters to help him cast magic other than water polo?

He returned to his consciousness and tried other water magics: water of life, freezing, ice crushing, mist...... The result is much the same as a water barrier. The triangular rune is like the door of Ali Baba, and the spell of the water polo technique is its "open sesame seed". Other than that, ignore nothing.

Now he had no clue.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't know what a hyphen is, let alone how it works. As a leader in the field of magical theory, his research on magic is only to understand how it happens, and how things work is still to be explored.

To put it bluntly, he's like an ordinary person. He knew that the hands of the clock rotated by electricity, and he also knew how to change the battery when the clock ran out of power. But for more detailed things, such as a broken gear of a clock, only the watchmaker knows what to do.

Where did he go to find the magical "watchmaker"?

Benjamin sighed, feeling a little frustrated.

He returned to reality, picked up the Bible in his hand, and flipped to the end.

In addition to myths and legends and more than fifty incantations, at the end of the book, like a title page, another sentence is written:

"You're the fifty-sixth person to finish reading this book, please give it to those who need it, and pass on the magic. ”

Not long after he turned to this page, the numbers in the text changed strangely, and then "fifty-six" became "fifty-seven".

Benjamin was taken aback. However, after confirming that it was just a trivial magic trick, and that there was not even a fluctuation in mana, he was no longer surprised.

But this passage made him feel quite touched.

Under the harsh hunt of the Church, a group of mages hide in the darkness to survive, but they still do not forget to pass on the magic. So, they came up with this method, made up such a seemingly simple and crude Bible, and passed it down one by one.

Finally passed to him.

No wonder, no wonder Michelle, when talking about the equivalent exchange, was talking about exchanging the treasury for his life, but he didn't mention the book. By giving Benjamin this book, he was not doing Benjamin any favor, and Michelle was merely fulfilling a promise that fifty-six people had already fulfilled.

Call......

Benjamin shrugged helplessly.

It's just that, what do you want to do with such a sense of mission? Do you really want to make a revolution?

He has already crossed the river in the mud, and it is difficult to protect himself.

Putting the emotion aside, Benjamin's attention returned to the triangular characters again. He had to solve this problem, or even with so many spells, he would still be able to hold a water polo and shiver in the corner.

Michelle: How did they learn magic? Did he work so hard?

Could it be that he could only wait for Michelle to appear next time, and then find a way to ask her? But this is too passive, whether to say it or not, the initiative is all in Michelle's hands, and he has no patience to wait until that time.

Think about it, is there anything else he hasn't used......

"I've found out! I'm a genius! I'm a genius invincible super artificial intelligence system!"

At this moment, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly appeared, shouting in Benjamin's head like crazy, so frightened that Benjamin almost threw the book in his hand.

“...... The next time you do a surprise attack, can you turn the volume down a little bit?" Benjamin was helpless, and chased after him, "It's better to mute directly, I'm sure I'll write a thank you letter to your manufacturer." ”

The system said in a high-spirited tone: "Really? I just researched a cross-generational result, don't you want to know?"

“......”

Benjamin couldn't complain. In recent years, even the system has begun to be studied?

"Don't want to hear it? If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. "The system is tsundere.

"Don't say it, I thank you family. Benjamin almost applauded.

"Why don't you play according to the routine?" the system suddenly became furious, "No, you just don't want to listen to it! I did it for so long to make it, you listen well, cough cough ......" said, and it pretended to clear its throat.

What does a system clear its throat......

Benjamin wanted to complain, but before he could complain, the system continued:

"Do you remember when you were in the castle, Grant almost used magic to help you?"

Benjamin was helpless, so he could only nod his head and follow the system's words: "I remember, but he didn't use it in the end." I'd like to see what the magic will look like when it's used, and it's pretty powerful. ”

The system said, "Then you don't have to be curious, you've already seen it." ”

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and said, "No, at least I haven't seen the magic with my own eyes since I crossed here." Don't count what happened before I crossed over. ”

The system seemed to be very proud, and instead of answering immediately, it sold it cheaply, and only when Benjamin couldn't help but scold it did it open its mouth as if to show off.

"It's not just that you've seen it, you've used it with your own hands. The tone of the system elongated, "After my analysis, magic and magic are essentially the same thing. Magic is magic, magic is magic, you don't have to look at them separately at all. ”
