Chapter 150: Magic
"Hands and tails are all cleaned up?"
In the bright study, Lester, dressed in a light blue mage robe, sat at the table and looked through his notes, asking in a rather casual tone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You can rest assured that it will be clean. ”
Even if the other party has his back to him, Ferrer's waist is still half-bowed, not that he is willing to be cheap, but that humility can make him live better.
"That's fine, you go down first!"
Lester waved his hand, still staring intently at the note in front of him, unwilling to even move his gaze in the slightest.
Lester's brow furrowed slightly as his well-trimmed nails scraped the obscure pages, and he pondered the secret words of the note, and only by unraveling this could he read the actual content.
The so-called secret language is a certain means used by the mage in his notes or experimental records, and the original intention is not to prevent the prying eyes of others, but it is an external manifestation called "test", but in fact, it is to show his "hypocrisy".
The notes blessed with secret words are as if they are covered with silk full of holes, and you can see a lot of the contents inside, but you are not used to reading them, and you can't really see them.
If you really want to keep it secret, there are so many spells and tricks that can be realized, even some "craftsmen" know how to smear poison on the pages of the account book, let alone the mages with more abundant means.
Just like the note in front of Lester, after blessing the secret words, it reads like a travelogue with few words, and it shows the "demeanor" of the mage to the fullest.
Unable to doubt the actions of his predecessors, Lester concentrated on calculating the unraveling cipher, and a handful of ugly folds gathered on his smooth forehead.
Of course, secret words can be deciphered by outsiders, but not easily.
"Feregna" is a language created by mages to quickly record knowledge of spells, and it has no overt pronunciation or corresponding vocabulary, just a disguise of writing.
In fact, it is not so much a language as a special spell that can only be used in writing.
However, whether it is words or spells, there is one thing that must be there, and that is grammatical logic, and this is the only way to unravel the secret language.
The grammatical logic of "Feregna" is very complex, and the correlation is often changing, which brings great difficulties to the decipherment of the secret language.
It's easier to calculate syntax and find hidden spell nodes if you're strong in logical thinking, but unfortunately, Lester's talent isn't in logical thinking.
Since the expulsion of giants in ancient times, magic has begun to circulate in human society, and after a long period of development and communication with spellcasters of other races, today's magic is like a tree with lush foliage, and many schools have developed.
Lester's logical thinking ability is not strong, so he is limited to understanding "prophecy", and in terms of "plastic energy", because of the lack of ability to build a frame thinking, progress is better than nothing.
In terms of "necromancy", there are no high requirements for talent, but for many reasons, the knowledge of "necromancy" is too difficult to obtain, and even the owner of the "Tavern of the Sleeper" can provide employees with books about necromancy, which is only some kind of introductory explanation template, and there is not even a spell on it.
As for "Psychics", this branch of magic is more demanding than other disciplines such as "Prophecy" and "Plastic Energy", if the average mage can still make some achievements in "Prophecy" and other disciplines through hard training, it is impossible to even get started in "Psychics" without a specific spiritual talent that is outstanding enough.
Lester's current focus is on "alchemy" and "elementalism", and all he can understand is that these two disciplines are more friendly to people of mediocre talent like him.
"Alchemy" has no requirement for talent, just like the alchemist Simdip said, "As long as there is enough experimental practice and knowledge accumulation, even a stupid human can become an authority in alchemy!"
(Master Schindp is a goblin, and this phrase was uttered after one of his alchemical inventions, which took decades of time and countless resources, was rebuked as meaningless garbage by a human alchemist.) )
("Hi friends, I have a great invention that comes from a small inspiration in life and is a revolution in our way of life!")
"Look at this, yes, this part of the structure is a star instrument, used to locate the position of the mouth, after my experimental calculations and improvements, the error will not exceed three microfeet. ”
"And then there's this part, which ...... it does"
......
"Look, although this set of instruments looks very complicated and bloated, as long as you have it, you won't spill it on the table when you drink sweet soup in the future. ”
- Sindepu)
("Don't you know there's something called a spoon, you idiot!")
- Gammicah)
As for "Elementalism", although Lester's elemental affinity is only average, it can barely have the talent for advanced silver.
This is also why he urgently needs more knowledge of spells in other departments, if he majors in "elementalology", he may not be able to climb the "elemental wall" in his life.
"I hope there will be more information about 'metamorphosis' in this note. ”
Writing down his calculations and techniques on the parchment at hand, Lester, who was wiping the beads of sweat from his sideburns, whispered a prayer.
Although the secret language had not yet been fully unraveled, the young mage already knew what kind of knowledge this note was about.
"Transfiguration", an academic science born less than a hundred years ago, combined with some knowledge of necromantic magic and the transformation of druids among elves, developed a special magical discipline, whose knowledge is more mysterious and rare than necromancy.
Like "Alchemy", "Metamorphosis" does not require talent, but focuses more on the accumulation of experience and knowledge.
Unlike "Alchemy", "Transfiguration" can be used by mages as a basis for advancement, rather than as a research method for some kind of cultivation.
"Fortunately, it's just a secret word to calculate the unraveling, and I can rest at any time, if I used the prophecy spell, I would have been hit hard by the backlash......"
Lester's expression was not very good-looking, although he had already known his qualifications, but the bitterness in his heart could not be alleviated by a few words.
Fortunately, the secret language was finally calculated, which alleviated the depression in Lester's heart.
Feeling a little excited, the mage pointed his right index finger at the node he had calculated, and recited in a deep tone, "You are not a travelogue, but the notes of the great mage Mr. Andris. ”
As the spring rain washed away the dust, the morning dew gathered a halo, and a pale orange, flame-like light and shadow appeared on the notes, and then, various anatomical drawings and related data were directly displayed in front of Lester.
