Chapter 414: Magic Doesn't Love Talent
In addition to building houses, and of course the research and development of new brick-making techniques, Xia Duo also kept Leiden on the lookout, informing him as soon as he had news, while he himself returned to the small camp and devoted himself to the study of magic.
Before the projection plane line, Xia Duo projected into an elf again, although because of the search for the Mithril refining method, the main focus was not on magic research, and the training of the sword singer delayed time, but there was always a year.
In this year, Xia Duo combined more than a dozen spell books at the level of 4 rings to complete the study of "Advanced Arcane Geometry", and had an extremely deep understanding of the principles of spells.
The [Teleportation], [Dimensional Anchor], [Detection], and [Detection and Detection] contained in the more than ten spell books have been mastered by him, and this time back in the Tower of Time, Xia Duo borrowed more than a dozen books from the library.
Among them, there is a book "Analysis of the Structure of Fireball Technique and the Art of Use", Xia Duo has been greedy for a long time, but the 3-ring [Fireball Technique] is indeed very powerful for ordinary people, but for mages, it is not a relatively clever spell.
Pure destruction is very simple, the most direct guidance of negative energy impact, the damage is much higher than [Fireball Technique], but negative energy is such a thing, it's okay to play the game, and there is no need for personal contact in the real world.
Xia Duo didn't have much interest in pure energy manipulation, otherwise, he would have devoted himself to it as early as his apprenticeship, when he deduced the quick method of sculpting the energy mage.
At that time, he lacked the strength to protect himself, but he was still not seduced by pure power.
In Xia Duo's eyes, the role of magic is more to create, if it is just to throw out a ball of energy, just use the attributes of the energy itself, then, no matter what form this energy takes, it is actually no different from primitive people.
The strongest attack is never such a bells and whistles, it is what a good mage should do according to local conditions.
The choice of [Fireball Technique] this time was actually just to fulfill a dream in the past - if a mage can't even know the fireball technique, what kind of mage is it?
Of course, the current Xia Duo will not have such a superficial cognition, but he does not ridicule or avoid his past self, people's cognition is always constantly updated and iterative, and only by facing the past can we better look forward to the future.
In addition to the 3-ring [Fireball Technique], Xia Duo also chose a number of low-ring spells this time, mainly to enrich his case library, not only spell cases, but also element cases.
In fact, this is also a process from specialization to breadth.
In the past, Xia Duo leveled up too quickly, although he seemed to be steadily walking on the path of advancing the Arcanist, but in fact, he still lacked a lot of foundation, or common sense, which may be the so-called "genius disease".
If you want to go further in the future, you can plan now.
Xia Duo has the mature consciousness of an adult, and naturally he will not be too paranoid, and he must be almost progressable and have a deep foundation to the extreme before he will upgrade in the next step.
The magic is different from the cultivation I saw before the crossing, and there are often sayings such as "no regrets for building a foundation" and "no regrets for Yidan" in those cultivations, but here-
Power is about equal to knowledge, and any mage, as long as he wants to, he can go back on it at any time.
It's just that people's lifespan is limited, and we still have to consider a question of maximum benefit, just like on the earth, some people are willing to take tuition for one year, two or even three years, and then continue the college entrance examination, but some people are unwilling.
After basically confirming that advanced arcanists were no longer a problem, Xia Duo also had to start a more long-term plan.
Just as it is impossible to go to college and then come to cram the foundation of high school, the time efficiency cannot be drawn, the university should do the things of the university, and the high school can be completed as much as possible.
Of course, if there is really a little regret, the future is not irreparable, and knowledge is not too late to learn before you die.
Maybe you will have an "epiphany" and "soar" on the ground!
Such odds certainly exist, but for systems of magic, they are almost non-existent, as if on Earth, Chado had never heard of a person who suddenly became a famous scientist in his old age.
Knowledge needs to be accumulated, and it is difficult to have an "epiphany" at one time.
In particular, magic is a knowledge that is full of rationality and is close to natural science.
……
Next, Xia Duo's main research is "Deep Magic Web", but the essence of the magic net is actually pure theory, and the color-resistant magic system has not yet been perfected to the extent of pure theoretical derivation.
It is still necessary to use the practice of magic to verify, deduce, improve, and summarize the theory.
And in this process, Xia Duo is ready to contact the fifth layer of the magic net first, become a high-level mage, and master the real long-distance teleportation, which is also what he planned before entering the projection plane.
Of course, in the process, the focus on training does not stop.
The purpose of concentration training, in addition to improving the caster's concentration (the will is more cohesive), is to enable the caster to perceive the soul.
One of the most crucial steps for an advanced arcanist is to capture the essence of the magic web and generate arcane fire.
What is ultimately combined with the arcane fire is the extension of the soul, or the will; And if you want to seize the essence of the magic net, you also need strong will support.
If you can't perceive the soul, your will will can't be clear, and even if you succeed in giving birth to an arcane fire, you won't be able to place it in the end, let alone link it to the magic web, so that it can exist stably.
At present, Xia Duo's progress in this area is relatively slow, she has communicated with Nia before, she has been exposed to the magic net before she became an adult, and when she reaches the age of sixteen, she will begin to carry out advanced concentration training, which is much earlier than most mages.
What Xia Duo is doing now is advanced concentration training, basic concentration training, just to let ordinary people get in touch with the magic net to become mage apprentices, this step, in fact, many people automatically complete it before they become adults.
There are quite a few people in Savile Town who are able to cast spells and spells when they are just adults, but of course they are limited to [magic tricks] with very few elements.
It's a pity that magic is not interested in talent, it is more interested in wisdom.
These people had a great start, but in the end they were left out of the crowd, and playing a few magic tricks a day didn't improve their lives in any way.
Xia Duo's focus on training is slow, but he has always been unwavering in his progress.
Although there was no specific number to tell him how much his will was worth and how many percent of his soul perception progress was now, he could clearly see that he was improving through the completion of his concentration training.
Moreover, you can also roughly estimate your overall progress.
If nothing else, the main plane will be accomplished within a year.
(What enters the projection plane is only the projection of the body, which cannot play a real training role, similar to the reason why you can't level up, but it's no problem to gain knowledge, you can go in and accumulate experience.) )
