Chapter 62: All Things Are Magic
For the next ten days, Brian chose to stay in Joseph's yard.
What he does is very simple, just throw his fist again and again, close his fist, think, and then swing again, and so on.
Although Joseph said that he would help Brian do a special training, he didn't give much guidance at first, but continued to mess with the flowers and plants in his yard.
Because understanding of magic can be said to be ingrained in everyone, and trying to force it to adapt or understand other people's ideas is likely to destroy your own understanding.
But after the first few days, Joseph began to say a word or two to Brian from time to time.
"Brian, what do you understand it to be?" asked Joseph as he saw Brian retract his fist again.
"Professor, I don't really understand what you mean, do you want to talk about the six magic factions?" Brian asked rhetorically.
"Six factions?" Joseph shook his head, then smiled, "You may not know that in the era of the Old Elves, there were actually only two factions. ”
"Two, the Reinforcement and the Elemental?" Bryan naturally thought of the two most basic factions.
"It's elemental, non-elemental. Joseph held out two fingers and explained.
"Elemental so powerful?" said Brian, who was a little skeptical, as he had encountered more non-elemental magicians.
"That's because the elementals aren't as active as they were in the Old Elves now. Joseph explained: "The real magic is really the elements and the primordial matter. ”
"Element: I'm sure you know everything, but meta-quality isn't something hard to understand. Joseph said, pointing at Brian and saying, "All the tangible things that can be seen can be said to be meta-essence. ”
"A stone, mostly earthy. ”
"A tree, most of which are woody. ”
"Metaplasm?" Bryan heard this concept for the first time, he looked at his hand, didn't that mean that his body was also made up of various metaplasms.
"That's right. As if guessing Brian's thoughts, Joseph said, "In the time of the Old Elves, the highest truth of magic was that all things are magical. ”
"Everything is magic!" Brian heard these five words, and somehow, his heart jumped, as if these words had an invisible magic that attracted him.
"Look. It was at this moment that Joseph bent down and picked up a stone, put it in his palm, and said to Brian.
Brian quickly gathered his mind and looked at the stone in Joseph's palm.
"Buzz!"
After a low sound, Joseph's palm suddenly lit up with a white light, which then enveloped the stone, and in Brian's field of vision, the white light turned into a grain of earthy yellow light, and finally disappeared into the air.
"What is this for??," Brian asked, frowning.
"No, it's a conversion. Joseph smiled slightly, and then replied, "It is the transformation of the elemental essence into the elements." ”
After saying that, a white light lit up again in Joseph's palm.
In Brian's surprised gaze, the earthy yellow light points actually slowly converged, and then slowly condensed into a stone in Joseph's palm, but the difference was that the volume of this stone was one size less than the original one.
"It's also transformation, the transformation of elements into meta-substances. After Joseph finished speaking, he put the stone down and continued:
"And what you're trying to do now is actually transformation, but the transformation is much more complicated than this kind of thing. ”
"Your magic is petrified magic, in other words, it gathers the earth elements between heaven and earth into you, forming a hardness similar to that of stone. Mystery magic, on the other hand, is something much more complicated. When Joseph said this, he also frowned, because the old man found that he didn't know how to explain it at this time to make Brian understand.
"Thank you, Professor, I think I understand a little. "Brian knows that something like arcane magic can be something that can be understood and unspeakable. Maybe Joseph could understand, but he didn't know how to make the other party understand.
It's like explaining to a naturally blind man what color the sky is, because in the eyes of a blind man there is no such thing as blue.
"Well, think about it yourself. Joseph also knew that this kind of thing could only be relied on by Brian himself, and he could only hint at a little.
"I have one more question, Professor Joseph. Seeing that Joseph was about to turn around and go back to watering, Brian hurriedly called out to the old man.
"What? do you have any questions?" asked Joseph.
"How to say it, it's just a question I'm more curious about, and it has nothing to do with this mystical magic. Brian hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"Since the elements and the primordial essence can be transformed into each other, doesn't that mean that people can also be resurrected?"
"Resurrection?" Joseph was not overly surprised when he heard this question, but had a look on his face that he had already known.
"Theoretically, as long as you know that all the meta-essence of a human can be resurrected, in fact, it is not a secret what meta-essence a human contains and what is the proportion, and you can even easily find the answer from the academy's library. Joseph nodded and said.
"That's .......," Brian hurriedly said, but was interrupted by Joseph.
"But do you think that there are really only these elements in a person?" Joseph pointed to his head with a serious face: "Even if you get the most perfect proportion of the essence and collect all the elements needed to resurrect a person, I'm afraid what you resurrect is only a corpse, right?"
Corpse......
Brian was silent.
He should have guessed this answer a long time ago, but he didn't know why, and when he heard the old man's answer, there was still a trace of disappointment in his heart.
"Remember, there are two things in this world that must never be touched, one is time, and the other is life and death" Joseph walked up to Brian with an expression of seriousness that had never been more serious.
"That is the realm of the Supreme God, and if you try to get your hands on it, all that awaits you may be an endless abyss. ”
With that, Joseph turned and left, leaving Brian standing quietly alone.
Time and life and death?
Unexpectedly, Joseph's words made another ripple in Brian's heart.
If that's the case, then at that time, whose power brought Brian Beavies back to the light?
Who are the people who have brought us from other worlds into this world to become the Chosen One, and what is the purpose?
