At midnight in the cold winter, the air pierced people like knives, and even in the small conference hall of Mochizuki Garden, the cold was not completely dispelled.

When you speak, you can clearly see the white vapor in the air.

But for the two mages, one old and one young, this cold stimulation made the mind more clear.

In the small chamber, Lawson's voice was a little immature, but it already showed the calmness unique to a powerful mage.

"Madam, this encounter with the Giant Bear Beast King, I saw a spell casting method that is completely different from the norm."

"The spells of the Beastmaster, the casting is smooth and the effect is exquisite, but it seems to be extremely complex. I had absolutely no idea how the spell was structured, and I had no clue. ”

In the Spell Virtual Machine, Lawson attempts to analyze the principles of the Beastmaster's spells, but all of them fail.

As soon as a recorded spell is entered, the software immediately reports an error and says, 'This spell is too complicated, the analysis failed.' ’

This is the same as trying to analyze Veronica's blood vine spells before, which causes the 'spell analysis' function to be temporarily reduced to a useless burden.

Hearing this, a smile of appreciation flashed across Sophia's face.

"The world of magic is as vast as the starry sky, and just learning the knowledge accumulated by the sages is enough to exhaust the energy of an ordinary mage's life, so that most mages' understanding of magic is superficial."

"It's great that you can always think of the principle of inquiry."

She stood up and paced back and forth a few steps.

"Rosen, to explain this clearly, it is necessary to understand the development process of spells."

Rosen's heart moved: "A master is a master, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he goes straight to the source." ’

He immediately listened intently.

Sophia began to speak.

"On the mainland, there are two major legal systems."

"The former is called the natural law system, but this is the name of the last hundred years. Before, it was called witchcraft. A mage who uses witchcraft is called a wizard. ”

Although it was just a sentence, it directly opened Rosen's vision.

He became more and more focused.

"The second is the logical legal system, which is also unique to the golden land."

"Did your mentor tell you about the difference between the two legal systems?"

Rosen nodded: "I said it, but I only said it, and I didn't talk about it in detail." ”

Sophia smiled faintly.

"Thrandis was well versed in the system of logical law, but his knowledge of the system of natural law was very limited. She is an outstanding mage with a very strict personality, and naturally she will not boast about things she doesn't understand. ”

She began to elaborate on it.

"The natural law system is a very ancient legal system with a long history, dating back to the time of our ancestors 10,000 years ago."

"The advantage is that it is smooth to cast, easy to get started, and has many uncanny, even incomprehensible abilities."

Rosen thought back to the Beastmaster sorcery, mud armor, and earth-shaking magic he had seen, but he couldn't figure out how it worked.

Sophia's voice rang out again.

"However, it has two major drawbacks."

"One is inefficiency. A lot of mana is wasted on spell structures that have nothing to do with the target. ”

Rosen agrees.

Unleashing the massive mana of Earthquake, if used to unleash a missile, would be enough to blow the entire valley to the ground.

"The second is emotional."

"Spellcasters tend to pin their personal feelings on spells."

"But mortal emotions are unstable. When you are excited, you may increase the power of the spell, but when you are frustrated, the spell will also be greatly affected, and even cause the spell to fail. ”

"That's it, it's a personal matter after all."

"But everyone's experience is different, and their emotions are different, which also leads to a serious problem, that is, thousands of people and thousands of laws."

Rosen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately came to a conclusion.

"So, natural spells are not conducive to promotion!"

The status of the student will affect the tutor.

If the student is fully focused and energetic, it will naturally ignite the teacher's enthusiasm for passing on knowledge.

Sophia looked at the teenager in front of her, and felt as if she had returned to her own youth.

For a while, she also completely let go of the shackles of being an earl, and completely forgot her tiredness.

A heartfelt smile appeared on her face and she shouted praise.

"You're absolutely right!"

As she gazed, Sophia's speech began to quicken.

"The core of the natural law system is just four words, 'concrete visualization'!"

"Those wizards not only gain mana through figurative visualization, but also cast spells through figurative visualization."

This sentence is like a candle in the dark, dispelling many doubts in Rosen's heart.

Sophia's voice continued to reach her ears.

"You must have noticed that when the Beastmaster casts a spell, he always shouts a spell. Something like 'let the frost come to the earth' or 'make your power shake the earth', right? ”

Lawson nodded repeatedly.

"Ordinary people tend to think that spells are the key to witchcraft, and even the vast majority of wizards think so. But in fact they were wrong, and the mantra was nothing more than an aid to the imagination. ”

It dawned on Rosen.

When you think of the mountains, you will naturally think of them. To pronounce the storm is to experience the storm.

It is true that language is an excellent aid to the imagination, but it is also not necessary.

"Concrete, concrete imagery is the things that already exist in the world. Like earthquakes, hailstorms, storms? ”

"That's right."

Rosen continued.

"So, the reason I can't parse the structure of its spells is because it's too complex to exceed the capabilities of a logic tool like exact geometry."

The exact geometry of the world is analytic geometry, but it is so poorly developed that even trigonometric functions are not perfected.

To describe the imagery of nature in such a geometry is bound to hit a wall.

And as soon as she heard his words, Sophia couldn't help but praise.

"Your understanding is very correct, it seems that you are even smarter than I thought!"

After saying that, she began to take the test again.

"What do you think are the major shortcomings of the natural law system?"

Rosen had thought of it a long time ago.

"The future of the natural law system is limited."

"Oh?"

Sophia's eyebrows were raised, and she looked happy: "Go on carefully."

"Because it can only imitate the concrete, but it does not delve into the principle. Without the principle, it is impossible to create out of thin air, and progress must be very slow, and it is very likely that it will stop or even regress. ”

"Hahaha~"

Sophia laughed heartily a second time.

"Little one, you're absolutely right!"

"Nature is eternal, and the magic that imitates nature will remain eternal. This is the real fatal flaw of the natural law system! ”

She went on to explain.

"In general, there is a trend in the development of magic, that is, from figurative to abstract, from perceptual to logical, from coarse to refined."

"And the culmination of this development is the current logical law system."

"This system is completely new, but because it is born out of the natural law system, all of them still retain many of the characteristics of the natural law system, such as 'figurative meditation'."

Lawson nodded repeatedly.

Visualize the sun and gain fire-based mana. By visualizing the sea, you can obtain the mana of the water attribute. Whether it is the sun or the sea, it is a concrete image.

Obviously, there are big limits to this.

Rosen thought about his current cosmic vision.

To be honest, he had never seen the whole universe, let alone the primordial singularity, everything was his imagination based on the scientific knowledge of the earth.

Therefore, this is no longer a concrete visualization, but should be called 'logical meditation'.

Sophia's voice came again.

"The disadvantages of the natural law system are the advantages of the logical law system. But the logical legal system also has its own shortcomings. Little one, what do you think are the shortcomings? ”

This archmage likes to test people.

Fortunately, Lawson was able to catch it.

"I think there are two significant drawbacks."

"Oh?" Sophia raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

Rosen came one by one.

"First, the spell is not flexible enough. The size of a forming spell cannot be modified in real time according to the needs of use. ”

Sophia laughed: "I can change it, but it's not safe. Well, to put it that way, it's really not flexible enough. ”

This can lead to many awkward situations.

For example, an apprentice with 1.0 missile mana and an apprentice with 1.9 missile mana have almost no difference in casting ability.

After releasing a missile, both of them had to wait for their mana to recover, and it was clear that the latter's mana was almost twice that of the former.

"What about the second one?" Sophia asked.

"It is too young, and the logical laws extracted from the objective world are too few and too superficial."

Sophia had a smile of appreciation on her face.

"You're absolutely right, I haven't seen such a bright child as you in years."

"It is indeed very young, the logic and law system has only been 150 years since its birth, and it is still just an infant baby."

Sophia sighed on her face, but there was a fire burning in her eyes.

"Although it is only a baby, 150 years of development has already given this baby some strength to fight against the natural law system."

"Any wise man with a discerning eye can see the deep growth potential of this baby!"

Hearing this, a doubt suddenly flashed in Rosen's heart.

Rosen immediately asked, "Madam, what level has the pure magic power of the current logical law system reached?" ”

"Intermediate or high?"

Pure magic power refers to the power of a spell that can be achieved with standard mana power and polarity. For example, the missile technique, the pure power of spells is just a low-level spell.

Sophia couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead and smiled wryly.

"This is really a question that is difficult for me, an admirer of the logical system, to talk about."

She laughed to herself: "But there's nothing to hide." ”

"To be honest, there are no pure high-level logic spells, just half-witches and half-magic. And about seventy percent of mid-level spells are in the same state. ”

"There is no master logic spell in this world, only master witchcraft."

Rosen understood that the Logic Law System had just advanced to the strength of the intermediate level.

This system is really young enough.

With a sigh, his heart jerked, and an idea emerged.

'If I were to integrate calculus into precision geometry, I wonder what kind of magic applications would it bring?' ’

Following this thought, a vague inspiration popped into his mind.

"It seems to be of great use, and it may be able to greatly solve the problem of casting flexibility."

Unfortunately, although he knew a lot of mathematics, his understanding of magic was not enough. It was much harder to incorporate this new gadget into the spell.

I had the heart to ask the earl for help, but I saw that the other party's face was full of exhaustion.

My heart moved again.

"It's true that the Earl is an archmage, but she's also the Lord of Silvermoon Castle, at the center of the vortex of interests. Even though she really values me and wants to teach me, she can't help herself. ”

So, in the face of the Count, he had to be cautious.

So who do you turn to for help?

The answer is obvious.

Mentors, of course.

The Earl is the earl of everyone, and the energy and time that can be allocated to him are very limited, but the mentor is his mentor alone.
