Chapter 160: Magic Array
In the collation of the wizard apprentice manuals during this period, some of the notes left by the apprentices on the manuals were also sorted out and extracted, and most of these texts recorded that the wizard apprentices felt that learning the meditation methods and other witchcraft in these manuals had poor or even no effect.
Thirty-one years passed between the last Wizard's Apprentice's Handbook of this period and the first of the next period, and the content of the first Wizard's Apprentice's Handbook of the Third Period did not change much, but one more witchcraft was added, which was Blood Initiation.
This is the third time Leo has seen the matter of blood, the first time is in the medical pharmacy books in the study on the second floor, the blood is not mentioned in the book, but it is mentioned that the noble bloodline can be continued with blood.
The second mention is in the words of Witzmir, where the Novitsky family's bounty for ordinary people who track down the corpse killers is the Novitsky family's blood.
According to the analysis of these two information related to seed blood, seed blood should be a gene fusion technology similar to the alien cell of the Vinylon world, which can fuse the genetic bloodlines of other races all the way to another person, thereby changing the other party's genes.
And now the blood initiation seen in the wizard's apprentice manual is a little different from the nobleman's blood transplant, it focuses on confrontation, not fusion.
After the wizard apprentice's mental power reaches a certain level, the mentor will implant a substance called blood for them, and then the wizard apprentice needs to resist the invasion of the remaining will in the blood through his own spiritual power, and transform the blood structure through his own magic power, eliminate the unfavorable factors in it, and integrate the remaining part into the body, and finally complete the blood enlightenment.
This kind of blood initiation requires very high qualifications for wizard apprentices, and it also requires strong willpower and mental strength, so there are very few wizard apprentices who can successfully survive the enlightenment in the end, and in one of the wizard apprenticeship manuals, it is recorded that less than 20% of wizard apprentices have successfully initiated. The rest of the failures were either eaten by the blood and died directly in the process of enlightenment, or their consciousness was dispersed by the residual will of the unknown species in the blood, and they became madmen, and there were very few people who could survive after the real failure.
The Third Period of the Wizarding Guild lasted for a long time, more than a hundred years, and the blood initiation in the Wizard's Apprentice's Handbook was constantly changing, and the direction of change was getting closer and closer to genetic modification similar to alien cells.
There was a gap between the compilation of the wizarding apprenticeship manuals of the third and fourth periods, and the first wizarding apprenticeship manual of the fourth period had already eliminated the initiation of blood seeding, and replaced it with blood implantation, and the method of implantation was not recorded in the apprenticeship manual.
Another change was that the Apprentice's Handbook had drastically reduced the amount of meditation by almost two-thirds, less than the usual sorcery, and replaced it with a physical exercise called Bloodline.
The content of the fourth and fifth phases of the Wizard's Apprentice Manual has not changed significantly, the main content of the manual is all around the bloodline and blood implantation two things to continue to improve and change, the last wizard apprentice manual is a year ago version, the bloodline has changed from a pure physical exercise, to a special method that integrates witchcraft, potions and exercises, and its ultimate purpose is to be able to smoothly maximize the effect of blood planting.
After carefully reading the evolution list of wizarding apprenticeship manuals compiled by the parabrain system, Leo felt that the wizards of the Wizarding Guild were now very similar to the clans, night watchmen, and priests of various churches in the world of Veron.
These people are all physically or mentally strengthened by fusing the genes of other higher beings, and have the ability to use psionic energy.
It's just that the methods of the Wizards Association of the Dream World are more clever and mature, and the success rate is not comparable to that of the alien cells in the Velen world.
Leo's situation should be similar to that of the third period, he also borrowed the high-energy gene cells in the remains of higher creatures to stimulate his own genes, so as to gain the ability to use psionic energy.
However, after the analysis of the bloodline system that appeared in the fourth period, Leo found that this method also had some benefits for him to master the unknown bloodline in his body. However, there are some things that need to be modified, such as eliminating the parts that refine the bloodline, retaining the method of strengthening the control of the bloodline, and so on.
In addition, some of the apprentice witchcraft described in these manuals were also inspiring to Leo.
Just like in the flower shop before, the middle-aged man's psionic energy level was obviously not much stronger than Leo's, but the psionic impact he released was able to form a physical impact that was almost substantial. Although Leo's psionic impact also has some physical characteristics, it is still mainly based on psychic impact, and in terms of actual combat, the two are far from the same.
This sorcery, known as the Air Hammer, is described in these Wizard's Apprenticeship Handbooks, and while it is only a very brief description of how to cast it, it is sufficient for Leo. He can use the secondary brain system, coupled with the psionic knowledge of the Earth Federation, to completely sort out and analyze the air hammer sorcery performed by official wizards.
There are also several low-level sorcery that can also be converted into psionic skills that Leo can use, but even if these skills are analyzed and sorted out, they cannot be included in the item column of the personal data interface by the secondary brain system. But with practice, Leo can still use these sorcery as naturally as activating skills, as easy as walking and eating.
After reading the list of wizard apprentice manuals that he had compiled, Leo was not happy to be able to use some witchcraft that he could use, but rather a little heavy.
Because, he found that he needed to re-evaluate the strength of the wizards of the dream world.
Prior to this, because of the strength and weakness of the people who saw the ancestral state of the people in the dream world, Leo subconsciously thought that if the wizards here appeared in the ancestral state, the degree of strength enhancement would be similar to that of other people in the dream world.
But now after reading these wizard apprentice manuals, he found that the ancestral state of wizards is completely different from that of nobles and ordinary people, and there is a big gap in strength.
In the last decade or so, there have been a large number of articles in the Wizard's Apprenticeship Handbook that explain the phenomenon of ancestry.
According to the book, human beings are not native creatures of this world, but come from a place called the other world.
It was not until later that human beings settled down here and continued to multiply, and their bodies and minds were completely integrated into this world, and human bloodlines were also changed by the power of this world, which formed the phenomenon of ancestral statehood. Therefore, all people in this world, regardless of their status, can produce ancestral state in their bodies.
It's just that after the ancestral state, each person has different powers because of their own bloodlines, and the strength obtained by those with excellent bloodlines will be very strong, and they will become the first batch of nobles. The book mentions that the Alcott family is the most powerful and special existence among them, so that their family can always be the ruler of the Ten Towns.
The intermarriage between nobles, or the blood planting ceremony in which the nobles give status to the commoners, is mainly to balance the bloodline, so that the blood-seeded party has its own bloodline, and does not help the strength of the ancestor after the transformation.
However, the sorcerer's blood implantation is a kind of enhancement, supplement or simple replacement for the ancestral stateization of one's own bloodline, usually after the successful blood implantation, the power generated by the ancestry of the wizard and the power generated at ordinary times will be drastically changed.
Just like the middle-aged man in the flower shop, in a normal state, Leo is fully sure that he can take it down with his own means and psionic weapons and psionic skills. But once that middle-aged man becomes an ancestor, then his strength will increase exponentially, and then it will not be a matter of whether he can be taken down or not, and whether Leo can survive in his hands is probably a question.
Leo still doesn't know how many wizards in the wizarding association are like middle-aged people, and how many wizards are stronger than him, according to this estimate, the wizarding association that originally felt very ordinary in his impression immediately became huge, even if he has not seen the real wizarding association, but he has already felt an invisible sense of oppression.
"It's not like you're going to be their enemy, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Leo calmed down the worry and concern that had risen in his heart, and muttered a word of self-comfort.
After letting go of his unnecessary concerns, Leo continued to flip through the other books in the study.
Of the remaining 213 books on wizarding knowledge, most of them were copied from the wizarding apprentice manuals, and then edited into a book about wizards and ordinary people, with some personal understanding and hearsay from the author.
It's okay for these books to deceive ordinary people who don't know anything and want to become wizards, after all, they have a complete meditation method and a few minor witchcraft such as ignition and have an enlightening effect, but for Leo these books are obviously too naïve.
In addition to these patchwork books, there are also a number of single books on witchcraft, almost every single book that analyzes a type of witchcraft.
Although these witchcraft are also some of the basic witchcraft recorded in the wizard's apprentice's manual, the people who wrote these books often have some fantastic ideas that cannot be completed after analyzing the principles of witchcraft. However, these whimsical ideas can give Leo a lot of inspiration, allowing him to rely on them to create basic sorcery that is far beyond ordinary power.
For example, among these basic witchcraft, there is a basic witchcraft called the Wizard's Hand, which is somewhat similar to the remote sensing object in the psionic skill, which is a psionic skill that can only be performed by a person who has reached the third level of psionic energy, and the conditions for this wizard's hand to be cast are only to master a little wizard magic and a little mental power.
In the process of interpreting the Wizard's Hand, the author of the book also recorded some whimsical ideas that extended the power and power of the Wizard's Hand, and these whimsical ideas had a lot in common with the psionic skill of remote sensing cameras. This will be of great help to Leo in mastering and wielding the sorcery of the Wizard's Hand, and may even be combined with remote sensing to obtain some unexpected psionic powers.
These books on basic witchcraft did help Leo master the witchcraft in the wizard's apprentice's manual, but there were actually only three of these hundreds of books that were really useful to Leo, and all three of them were books on the interpretation of wizards' magic circles.
The wizard's magic array is a special Turing root, in the Silver Moon Tower of the Veron world, some wizard strange objects have similar Turing roots, and this dream world is no exception, such as the middle-aged man's chest, the inner wall of the corpse cabinet, and so on.
However, the Turing root of the Viren world is very different from the magic array of the dream world, the Turing root of the Velony world feels more primitive, and the basic root of the Gamorei language relies on a certain law to superimpose and combine, and then becomes a Turing root, which is also a magic array.
The magic circle of the dream world has added some additional runes, through which the wizard can forcibly connect the basic roots of the Gamorley language together to form a variant Turing root, and even some of the basic roots have been slightly changed by the wizard to form a new variant base root.
Although they are two different magic arrays, the kernel is mainly based on the basic root of the Gamorley language, and the two magic arrays are not unrelated, more like two magic arrays from different periods.
The Turing root of the Velen world is like an ancient, primitive version, while the magic array of the dream world is like a new system and a new version formed after many years of improvement.
It is difficult to say which of the two magic arrays is superior or inferior, in terms of power, the Turing root that is the most primitive and closest to the core origin of the Vilen world is much stronger, and a few simple Turing roots can be combined to form a very powerful witchcraft, and the Turing root composed of dozens of basic roots can trap the existence of a high-level creature close to the omega level alive in a stone ball.
In contrast, although the magic array of the dream world is much weaker, even if the combination of more than two dozen basic roots can only play the role of absorbing heat, from all indications, this kind of magic array seems to be easier for people to master, and it is easier to use the basic roots of the Gamorei language.
If, using the method of the veronal world, more than 20 basic roots are directly superimposed and combined together to form a Turing root, not only need to consider the attributes of the Dao foundation root itself, but also need to consider the rejection and fusion of each other.
However, the magic circle in the dream world is different, and Leo found that the users of the magic circle here only need to consider the attributes of the basic word root itself, and do not need to consider the connection of the base word root.
Over the years, they have taken some strokes from the base roots to form a special symbol called the Magic Rune, through which various basic roots can be connected together to form a Turing-like root, which in turn produces some magical effects.
