Curiosity is curiosity, but it also stops at curiosity.

Lynn doesn't like to get to the bottom of things she doesn't like, and she doesn't check a stranger's account for no reason—even if the barrage is constantly prodding him to communicate with the other person.

For him, it's true that barrage can help, and he will follow the advice of barrage, but that doesn't mean that barrage can affect the way he behaves.

After a short period of analysis, Lynn decided that communicating with the strange girl next to him would not bring him anything in the short term, and the long-term benefits were not clear for the time being, so he rejected the coaxing of the barrage and instead focused on another, more meaningful thing.

That is, to listen to lectures.

"Hello everyone, from today onwards, I will be your counselor and teacher of the basics of magic for the next few years."

The middle-aged man, who looked ordinary, but looked very pleasing to the eye, stood on the podium and introduced himself quietly.

"My name is ......"

"Maurice Randolph!"

Before the counselor could finish speaking, someone below immediately answered excitedly.

Teacher Morris smiled gently, "It seems that many of you know me." ”

That's nature.

As one of the most famous Archmages in the Rhine Kingdom, Maurice Randolph's name is not unresounding.

Just one thing - the defensive formation of the Rhine Academy of Magic is not presided over by the dean with the title, but designed by him, and even if he is the dean, he only provides auxiliary services.

How many people can make one of the only three beings with titles in the entire Rhine Kingdom help him?

Therefore, in the Rhine Institute, in terms of fame alone, Morris is not inferior to Dean Mansfield.

And when such an existence appeared in front of the students, even though all the freshmen present were either rich or expensive, the excitement of "seeing a celebrity" still rose in their hearts.

"Alright." Mr. Morris tapped on the blackboard, smiled and said, "Everyone, be quiet, now, it's class time, this is our first class, we have to make it a good memory that we can remember for many years to come, right?" ”

"Yes!" The students answered, and the classroom was calm again.

Morris nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, although it is the first class, I will not ask you to stand up one by one to introduce yourself like other teachers - I believe that most of you know each other, right?" ”

He tapped lightly on the table: "If you don't know each other, you can go and communicate with each other after class, but during class time, you have to listen carefully, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

"Well, I won't say much else."

Morris smiled and said, "What I taught you is the basics of magic, but now, what I want to tell you is not magic, but the sea of imaginary numbers. ”

"This is something you must know before you can start in magic—for you will spend countless hours exploring it in the future."

Hearing such a serious request, the students' excited hearts gradually sank, straightened up, and prepared for the next words with bated breath.

"The Sea of Imaginary Numbers, as the name suggests, is indeed like an infinite ocean, and as we all know, there are countless creatures living in the ocean. So, what is the 'creature' in the sea of imaginary numbers? ”

"It's knowledge."

"Whether it is martial arts, magic, or even some mysterious alchemy formulas, they are all 'creatures' in the sea of imaginary numbers, and we, we will play the role of fishermen, from this endless sea, to capture the prey we need."

"But as we all know, the creatures that usually live around the sea level are not precious little creatures, and when we reach a certain level and need better nutrition to replenish ourselves, what should we do?"

"The answer is, dive."

"It's just that, like the real ocean, the pressure contained in it is not something our body can bear, and the deeper we go into the ocean, the denser the dark corners become, threatening our safety all the time."

It was like a warning that left the students stunned.

"In the sea of imaginary numbers, is there still danger?"

"Don't underestimate these creatures." Morris said meaningfully, "Knowledge is born by the wisdom of men, and the ocean of the sea of imaginary numbers is their best nourishment, and it is not impossible to cultivate some wisdom from it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Just now I just gave a brief introduction to the sea of imaginary numbers, and the next thing I want to tell you about is its structure. ”

"After you entered the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, did you observe the sky?"

"Yes!" Someone raised his hand and replied, "There is a circle of stars in the sky." ”

"That's right." Morris smiled and said, "We usually call that circle of stars an imaginary ring. ”

"According to research, some people speculate that the reason why we were able to cross reality and enter the sea of imaginary numbers was through that ring of stars, which is the 'door' we were looking for when we first linked. And through it, our soul power communicates with it and establishes a connection....... As for what's the use of a successful connection, let's leave it there for the time being. ”

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is what's under the ring."

"In terms of form, the sea of imaginary numbers is indeed like an ocean, but in terms of structure, it is not, it is more like a tall tower buried in the ground, when we first logged in, it was at the top of it, and if we want to get better knowledge, we can only explore it below."

"Generally speaking, the Sea of Imaginary Numbers is divided into four layers, and each layer has a strange attribute in the magic power it contains."

"For the first time, the layer we just logged into, its special property is called 'quantity'."

"At this point, one might ask that by 'quantity' we mean not the amount of 'knowledge' – wrong!"

"As I just said, its special properties only exist in 'magic'."

"And what is the use of these special magics?"

"The answer is, absorb, elevate yourself, and then go deeper."

"Generally speaking, after we link to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, unless there are special circumstances, the subsequent cultivation of magic power is also carried out in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers - there is no place in the world where the magic power is more abundant than the Sea of Imaginary Numbers. Here, we don't have to worry about efficiency at all. ”

"As for why the magic in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers can be transmitted to the body....... Some people say that it is because of the connection between the soul and the body, and some people say that it is because the soul is equivalent to another body, but no matter what the speculation is, it has never been truly affirmed in the end, and it only stops at speculation. ”

"Speaking of magic cultivation, at this time, we have to take out the 'Star Ring' that we just mentioned."

Teacher Morris said lightly: "The demonic power in our body will be directly reflected on the star rings in the sky. The star ring reacts with the magic we draw from the sea of imaginary numbers, and the final manifestation is to change color. ”

"The star rings you see should be colorful, and once you start cultivating in the sea of imaginary numbers and absorb enough magic power, the star rings will gradually turn into silver, and the fuller the color of the star rings, the deeper we can explore."

"When the Colorful Star Ring is completely transformed into the Silver Star Ring, it also means that the amount of magic that our body can withstand has reached its peak, and the area that can be explored will end here."

"And once the amount of mana is at its peak, how do we continue to improve?"

"- Quantity is enough, that can only improve quality."

"Therefore, the special attribute of the second layer of magic in the sea of imaginary numbers is 'quality'."

"After the Silver Star Ring overflows, we need to pass some kind of special test and enter the second layer. At the second level, we will gradually replace the original magic with better mana, and the star ring will change from mystical silver to dazzling gold. ”

"Then after completely turning into a Golden Star Ring, what should I do if I want to improve?"

"By that time, the magic in our bodies, both in quality and quantity, had reached its peak, and it was no more than a little bit and nothing less than perfect. But even so, we still want to continue to climb up, what should we do? ”

"At this time, we are bound by the rules, and if we want to improve, we can only break the rules."

"Everyone understands, the special attribute of the third layer is the 'rules'."

"After entering the third layer, the color of our star ring will be a little special - just like the world we are in, there are many clear rules, but there are also more unwritten rules, so at this time, the star ring will be given a colorless and transparent state."

Morriston paused, and continued, "As for the fourth layer, I can't explain it to you. ”

"Because, it's been a long, long time since anyone has entered the fourth layer of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and the last person who has a clear record of entering the fourth layer was the King of Gold thousands of years ago, and after that, no one has successfully stepped into that realm."

When the sentence came to an end, Morris smiled again and asked.

"I think, by this point, you should know what our mages and archmages are graded through, right?"

The students nodded in unison.

In secular cognition, the system of power consists of only three and a half classes briefly.

For example, mages are apprentices, full-fledged mages, archmages, and mages with titles.

Combined with what Morris said, the mage's apprentice corresponds to the silver star ring in the imaginary sea, the official mage is the golden star ring, and the archmage is the transparent star ring.

And the half of the class above that is because of the special "title".

In this world, not everyone is entitled to be called a "title", and in order to receive this kind of treatment, it is necessary to have outstanding merit or a pious belief in a certain existing deity, so that they can receive the "title" given by the emperor or the leader of the god's sect. ”

And after successfully obtaining the title, these people will have a ability to transcend worldly cognition.

For example, Mansfield, the dean of the Rheinland Academy, whose title of "Omenforic Outcast" comes from the fact that he was once a faithful believer in the "Omen Deity", but was abandoned by his faith and converted to the Goddess Starlight, and thus gained his approval, and finally received the title of "Aware of Your Lucky Moment".

In general, the title is equivalent to an extremely powerful buff, which can make people who are already overflowing in strength and at the same level distinguish between high and low.

"Alright." Morris clapped his hands, "You already have a preliminary understanding of the general information about the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, right?" ”

"Understood!"

"So......." Morris said in a long finale, and suddenly changed his tune, "do you think I'm going to say that it's time to talk about magic?" ”

"No, no, no." He waved his hand and said, "Now, I want you to enter the sea of imaginary numbers in search of a simple magic. ”

"It's as simple as a small water balloon, a small fireball, and it doesn't take any time to learn it right away, the simplest magic."

Morris said, "If I am the only one who speaks, the learning efficiency is far less than that of listening and practicing magic with you." ”

"Got it!" The students answered.

Morris snapped his fingers.

The next moment, there were suddenly ripples in the air, and the ripples gradually spread to the entire classroom.

When the ripples dissipated, there was no longer a single sound outside in the classroom.

"So, go ahead!"

This time, everyone didn't speak again, but just closed their eyes.

Lynn also calmed down according to the teacher's request, and prepared to communicate with the Sea of Imaginary Numbers again.

However, just as he was about to repeat his old trick and write in his hand to let him in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, an accident occurred.

.......

On the beach, Lynn sat awkwardly on the ground, full of question marks.

"I'm here, forcibly dragged in by the Sea of Imaginary Numbers?"

Just now, when he was about to communicate with the Sea of Imaginary Numbers again, the spirit suddenly felt a great suction, like a black hole, and directly sucked him in.

And then he was here.

And the reason why it is said to be "dragging" is because he can clearly feel that this suction force is more or less personal emotions in it.

That emotion is called "anger".

After recovering from his senses, Lynn immediately fell into confusion.

"Angry? A sea of imaginary numbers? How can there be emotions in the sea of imaginary numbers? The sea of imaginary numbers can actually be angry?? ”

"The sea of imaginary numbers is not a living thing, how can it be angry.......

Lynn stopped thinking.

Just now, Mr. Morris said that knowledge will gain shallow spiritual wisdom by absorbing nutrients, so is it possible that the sea of imaginary numbers as a gift from the gods will also obtain spiritual wisdom?

Yes, this is something that no one will believe when it is said, because for thousands of years, people have subconsciously regarded the sea of imaginary numbers as a storehouse of knowledge, but if no one believes it, is it absolutely impossible?

Lynn suddenly thought of something.

In the sea of imaginary numbers, once you get any kind of knowledge, it will be that type of thing.

Everyone thinks this is a very convenient function, but no one has ever thought about whether this "convenience" is a "hard and fast rule" made by the gods, or because of the spontaneous behavior of the sea of imaginary numbers observing people all the time.

"No one knows, then, it's up to me to explore!"

Taking a deep breath, Lynn writes a line on her arm and holds it high.

It was written the most primitive greeting of mankind.

"Hello!"

However, there was no response.

Lynn raised his hand and stood there for more than an hour, feeling nothing but the wind and the sound of the waves.

There is a little emotion, but it is his own "embarrassment".

“........”

Lynn silently withdrew her hand.

"It's good that there's no one else here....... That's it, how can there be wisdom in the sea of imaginary numbers, it's that I'm thinking too much......."

The words were cut off.

Lynn grimaced, bowing her head mechanically, watching a few dents suddenly appear on the beach.

The traces are connected to each other and finally form a clear and concise word.

"-Hello."
