In short, the 'phonetic method' does seem to have made it easier to learn the new troll.

In the days that followed, Bladefang and the three witch doctors began to focus together on several things that connected to each other.

learn about the tribal heritage;

The content of the inheritance is changed into text and burned on the clay tablet;

Enrich the grammar of the troll language according to the language habits.

As mentioned earlier, Troll lacks the grammar of complex sentences, they speak as if they were spitting words, and many words are not formed. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, the witch doctors, who recognized the deficiency of expression skills, began to try to enrich their grammar system.

The results are there, and the dialogue between the witch doctors has indeed gradually become coherent, enriching their expressive abilities to a considerable extent.

But this is not enough, it is clear that it will be a gradual 'change' that will last for a long time and will not even stop.

During this period, the blade teeth did not seem to carry too much, but occasionally unconsciously put some simple structures similar to 'subject-verb-object' when speaking, which was quickly learned by the witch doctors.

~~~~~~~~

The years passed gradually, and when the blade teeth grew to the height of the butt of a troll in the prime of life, the activities of 'making words' and 'grammar' began to bear fruit.

Bladefang also took this opportunity to escape the huge 'labor' of sorting out the inheritance by himself, and distributed it among all the witch doctors.

The clay tablets in front of him, which were piled up with several 'treasury', and the relatively complete oral skills of the witch doctors, were the marks of his achievements over the years.

And when these things are over, Bladetooth can finally start doing things that interest him. For example, the study of magic crystals, and the study of 'witch doctors'.

Of course, this is not to say that he has not done relevant things these days, but his energy has been seriously distracted before, resulting in little progress.

However, during the class, the ability to distinguish between various magic crystals has matured, and I believe it will also help in the future.

In the middle of the witch hospital, in a hut assigned to Blade Fang, he is sitting on a simple table and chair made of animal skeletons and meridians, combing through the 'achievements' of the past few days.

"Magic crystal casting is still a 'black box' operation, and if there is no way to figure out the internal structure of the magic crystal, studying 'magic' is a delusion."

"However, even the witch doctor seniors who have mastered the ability of 'spell casting' do not seem to have the ability to directly observe the internal structure of the magic crystal..."

"What is known is that witch doctors can feel the energy in their bodies.... And by inputting this energy into the magic crystal, 'magic' can be formed. ”

"And after this energy is exported, the feedback given to the body is the loss of 'life force'."

"Then, the problem arises, the so-called 'vitality' should be a kind of 'energy' shared by living beings, which is necessary for carrying out life activities. Take the trolls as an example, the warriors are obviously strong, but they can't induce this 'energy'.... The witch doctor, who was not stronger than the warriors, or even inferior in terms of physique alone, was able to do it. ”

"Is it possible to assume from this that the crux of the matter is not the 'life force' itself, but the means of 'being able to feel and even manipulate the life force'?"

"Since there is a need for 'perception, manipulation', there has to be a medium involved.... Although it feels a bit unreliable to use fantasy novels from previous lives as a reference, it is quite appropriate to introduce the concept of 'spiritual power' here..."

"Through the experience of their ancestors, when testing the qualifications of witch doctors, witch doctors do not pay attention to physical fitness, but to consider memory.... It also seems to be used as a corroboration. ”

After a series of thoughts, Bladefang decided to assume that there was a medium called 'psychic power', and saw it as the key to potentially unlocking the door to magic. Although it is somewhat arbitrary, it is also a thing that cannot be helped, rather than aimlessly allowing the mind to diverge, it is better to set a possible direction to focus on thinking.

"Then, the next job is to find a way to artificially accelerate the growth of mental power.... Today's witch doctors are just waiting, which is too passive. ”

"Let me think about how to start researching....."

After a little thought, Blade Tooth decided to first come up with a set of logical and self-consistent theoretical systems to quantify the mental power values of each stage to facilitate the subsequent work.... Even this system is composed of brain supplements.

"The old witch doctor told me that after testing the witch doctor's qualifications, he waited for two more prime chakras (Note 1) before the day of awakening... This means that..."

"Mental power can grow, and its growth does not stop with the end of physical development."

"But it's been a long time for ordinary trolls to grow old from prime to old age, but they still haven't woken up...."

"There are a lot of possibilities for the difference between the two..."

"1. Only those who have the qualifications of witch doctors have the spiritual power to grow; The spirit power of ordinary trolls is fixed. ”

"2, mental power qualification will affect the growth curve of mental power, those with witch doctor qualifications have a fast growth rate, ordinary trolls have a slow rate, and their rate difference is large enough."

"3, the growth rate of both sides is the same, but the level of the initial base determines the order of reaching the awakening point.

Wait......"

"The spiritual growth of ordinary trolls can be left alone, and the script of 'The Rise of the Trolls of the Crossing' is not yet staged.... Let's just act as an average for now... Let's assume an interval from 1 to 10. ”

"The average value of newborns is 1, and the value of the awakening point is 10;"

"Suppose the average of the peak race is .... em... Troll warriors are generally stupid, so let's set 2-4...."

"The scope of qualifications.... It is assumed to be 5-9 according to the level of qualification. ”

"I should be considered to have better qualifications, so it's good to be humble and set an 8... That's only 2 growth points away from the awakening point. ”

"But the awakening point is not the goal for me.... Even if the witch doctors awakened, they still couldn't figure out what was going on inside the magic crystal. ”

"After awakening, you have to at least cross the ladder to succeed.... em... If there is indeed a step that can be crossed. ”

(Note 1: The so-called prime-age wheel is a method of remembering the age that was discussed with the old witch doctors after the introduction of the concepts of numbers and age by Blade Fang.) Trolls' bodies reach their peak in the prime of life, and this peak will remain at that peak for a long time, until one day they reach old age. Therefore, they divide the life of a troll into three stages, namely 'growth', 'prime', and 'aging'; And one prime-age ring is equivalent to the entire time it takes for a troll baby to grow into a warrior. In addition, growth targets such as 'calf height and thigh height' have also been improved, and the 'growth period' of trolls is divided into five stages, namely 'calf height' in early childhood, 'thigh height' in adolescence, 'lower abdomen height' in adolescence, 'chest height' in adolescence, and 'shoulder height' in adulthood. ）
