Chapter 36: Self-Created Spells (1)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Walking briskly back to the library, Link felt that his moral threshold had been refreshed once again.

This world is like the dark Middle Ages, where the aristocracy bullied the weak, only dared to bully the weaker species than themselves, ran faster than anyone else once they met the undead, and even traded with the undead for self-preservation, betraying their compatriots, just to keep their status and power.

Doesn't Malik like chaos?

Link is determined to break the old pattern and rules, and instead of passively offering a quid pro quo to free the slaves, he should take the initiative and make himself the rule-maker. Of course, this requires absolute strength, just like Frost Cold, who is obviously the enemy of all living beings, and the nobles and mages have to retreat again and again because of their strength.

Abigail knew that I was a child of nature and was still aggressive, not because he was a nobleman, but because he had a saintly sage as his backer, and he had the right to inherit second only to Gonzalez.

Servis also kills me knowing that I am a child of nature, a nobleman who has no combat power of his own, relying on the Duke of Essonne behind him, and the city has a portal to Hohenheim.

No matter how strong the Children of Nature are, they are only individuals, and they cannot compete with the huge aristocratic system and the entire Mage City. This gave rise to the idea that Link would try his best to develop a set of fighting methods that suited him.

As soon as he entered the library, he went straight to the central area where only mages were allowed to enter, and under the gaze of the apprentices, he extracted from the bookshelf the "Introduction to Mages" which was based on the five basic knowledge of perception, meditation, spellcasting, ritual, and hint

[Perception] is similar to what Girard taught, to sense the world with spirits, and the elements are actually omnipresent.

Meditation is a method in which human beings are particularly aware of their weak perceptions, and by exercising their spirits to increase the range of perception, and the larger the range of perception, the more elements can be obtained.

[Cast] varies from person to person. Because the requirement is only to release the elements or natural forces in a smooth way, the method of casting spells also varies from person to person. This is very important to Lin Keqi, and posture, language, and even incantations are not necessary. Spells, which are at the heart of a spell, are just a way to use a certain method over time and form a fixed way.

Rituals and hints are inseparable, just as perception and meditation are inseparable. The former is to obtain the power of nature through certain means, such as spell inscriptions, alchemy contracts, etc., and the summoning faction is born. The latter is self-hypnosis with language or spirit, which is used to overcome subconscious barriers.

Only pick and choose what you are interested in, and the palm-thick entry foundation was quickly finished by Link, and he aimed at another "Analysis of Spell Factions".

This book is a little thin, and the previous focus is on the existing three ** schools of magic: ancient magic based on elements, prophecy, and necromancy, new magic based on change, illusion, and summoning, and auxiliary magic based on runes, enchantment, and alchemy.

Elements from the spirits and nature, prophecies from the gods. and the most mysterious and evil necromancy, the three spells that have existed since before the exact records appeared, classified as ancient magic.

With the shift of the mage's camp, the way of communicating with the elements in the past has been changed to forcible enslavement and manipulation, and the elemental affinity of human beings has become worse and worse, and the mage has to break through the elemental-based way and change to pure spiritual power to understand the spells that have become a new school of magic.

In order to chase out magical creatures, humans have learned various ways to fill in the gaps in their own qualifications. This is where the secondary spells come in. It's also a derivative of a new school of spells.

After the rise of the Empire, the divergence between humanity and the alliance of nature became more and more severe. Coupled with the change of factions, the mages of Hohenheim shifted the two nascent spell factions, and to the rebellion of the princes, the ancient magic gradually declined.

Seeing this, Link suddenly thought of a possibility.

Couldn't the precious books hidden in Hohenheim on the upper level refer to ancient magic? This is more in line with the conditions of the invitation, how can ordinary spells be in the eyes of the children of nature.

Just thinking about it. A somewhat familiar aura leaned in from behind.

"Are you going to go hungry and read a book for the day?" was the blue-robed mage Russell.

Link subconsciously turned his gaze to the huge magic clock in the center of the library, symbolizing that the fire of the day had been half extinguished, and before he knew it, it was past lunchtime.

"I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. Link was sure that this man must have been secretly observing for a long time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that.

"I didn't eat either, are you together?" Russell clearly came to get close, and Link was about to ask him for some information about the mage, so he gladly accepted.

Like scholars, mages, including apprentices, are provided with free room and board, and a dining room for hundreds of people is located next to the Elemental Temple.

If he hadn't known that this was a restaurant, Link would have thought it was an opera hall, with a large circular dome beautified by magic to turn into a blue sky, a spacious and bright environment, and many boxy tables on the black and white lattice floor. Once seated, Russell ordered one, and he recommended the signature dish to Link, praising the chef's skills and serving many nobles.

Not interested in listening to these pompous boasts, and before the food was served, Link began the conversation with the mage's grade.

"Grading...... I don't know how much you know about mages?" Russell picked up the wine bottle on the table, uncorked it, and poured himself a full glass, the smell of honey filling his nose.

Link thought for a moment, and replied that his knowledge of mages was limited to what he had heard from his friends. Considering that the mage had some spells that could detect whether he was lying, he didn't want to remedy it after the fact, and thought twice before he spoke.

"The level differentiation of mages is the same as that of the fifth order of mortals, and it is also divided into five ranks. Raising his glass and taking a sip, Russell said to Link, "The first level of a mage is apprenticeship, which corresponds to enlightenment. After that, there is the Elemental Messenger, which corresponds to the Expert. Further up is the ** division, which corresponds to the master. Magisters correspond to legends, and sages correspond to sages. This is the basic level of mages, except for sages, each level is divided into low and high ranks, that is, there are a total of nine levels of mages. ”

It's as simple as that?Link thought that the mage's classification would be complicated: "So how do you tell the difference?"

"Look at the robes. ”

Link subconsciously glanced down at the robe on his body, there was no logo or ornamentation, only the color was different from the apprentice. Except for the good breathability, I don't think there is anything peculiar about this robe.

Looking at Russell, who is exactly the same style and color, the only difference is that he has a cross pattern on his chest, and in Edgar, the cross represents the four elements.

"The mage robe is a symbol of the mage's status, woven from magic spider silk and processed by spells in the later stage, which can resist the damage of ordinary weapons, and will not be contaminated with dust, nor will it be impregnated with sweat, oil, and potions. Even the lowest-level style is worth 5o Imperial Gold, which is a reward for promoting mages, and it has been rumored that many mages will never take it off if they wear it, and they will take it to the grave after death. Pointing to his crosshairs, Russell said, "As you guessed, the four-element crosshair symbolizes the elements. The gold and silver ring pattern on the cuffs is the ** division, and the triangle pattern on the neckline represents the Magister, no matter how strange the robe style is, these three points are unchanged. ”

"That'...... What if you want to see a higher level of books?" Link planned to probe first. His current status is only an apprentice, and there are many people in the library, and if the 'progress' is too quick for his identity to be exposed, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

"The collection is only open to mages, and as long as you have obtained the corresponding qualifications, you can enter the enchantments set for different levels of mages. You must be wondering why there are no alchemy golem guards in such an important place? Barriers restrict the movement of golems, and in case a lifetime soybeans can damage precious books. ”

Unguarded?Link decided to stay up late at night to read a book. Later, he asked how the Master would study if there was no class to be held.

"Except for the initial foundation and the bottleneck period to give guidance, the teacher will not interfere with the disciple's learning, and it is all based on personal understanding. Russell's answer was right to Link, who was worried about the need to participate in training and teaching, and thanked the mage for his laissez-faire teaching, which gave him enough free time to move.

After all that had been said and the food had finally arrived, the low-brow pleasing female dwarf tiptoed and placed the plate on the table taller than her height, and Link's mood suddenly plummeted.

"What do you think of slaves?"

Russell, who had just picked up the fork, paused slightly, then forked the food and put it in his mouth, "The weak eat the strong." ”

Seeing the disapproving expression on Link's face, he exhorted as a person who had come before, "The mage is fully capable and qualified to dominate other people, including species. ”

Even though such an answer had been expected by Link, he was inevitably a little disappointed. The mages at the bottom of the guò can know what the council is worth, and it seems that there is no need to continue this topic.

It was I who forced it, and the concept of the ancient people was influenced by the logic of the strong, advocating the law of the jungle and natural selection. The conflict between the dwarves and the gnomes and the humans deepened, only because it was their people who were bought and sold, not because they hated the slave trade itself.

He stuffed Russell's recommended food into his mouth, and no amount of delicious taste could eliminate the depression in his heart. Link left the last question to where to practice the spell. In order to create his own spells, he desperately needed a place where he could cast spells safely, preferably without the prying eyes of others.

After the meal, Russell took Link to the Spell Training Ground underground, where there were more than a dozen separate rooms similar to the Adventurer's Guild, which fully met the requirements of the Secret. The training dummy erected in the room can be recycled over and over again due to the spell that can be automatically repaired, and the whole room is the same as Dante's secret room, casting the law of cause and effect that will heal no matter what damage is taken.
