Chapter 14: The Witch Doctors' Troubles (Minor Repair, Change Dialogue)
A new spellcasting system has been born, and Bladefang begins to figure out what to do next. Such positivity does not mean that he has evolved into a qualified 'social animal', but that these countless days and nights have formed a habit based on fun.
Therefore, this is far from something that can be simply summed up by the so-called 'social animal'.
Thinking about it, he came to a conclusion.
Today, the framework work on meditation and the study of spells has been completed. From now on, research will be based on some work within the system for a long time, at least until the research methods are innovated; For example, the study of the expansion and universality of mantras and gestures, and the continuous analysis of new rune structures, the change of ideas of meditation, and so on.
And these jobs, Blade Tooth didn't plan to take on all of it. There are still three witch doctors in the tribe, and witch medicine disciples will also appear more frequently in the days to come. Whether from the perspective of the development of the tribe or the growth of the magic system as a whole, it is beneficial to divide the content of these non-groundbreaking studies appropriately.
Therefore, it is no longer advisable to continue the research, and the first priority is to show the witch doctors the results and explain the principles.
With this in mind, Bladefang rested for the night before knocking on the doors of the witch doctors.
"Bladefang, you haven't been out for a long time? Why? ”
The three witch doctors, who had not seen him for a long time, were quite surprised by his appearance after a long absence.
In fact, Bladefang, who has completed the witch doctor course and has the magic crystal casting ability, is already a qualified witch doctor at this time. Despite the relative shallowness of experience, the time has come for the Conservative Calendar to assume intra-tribal responsibilities.
However, on the one hand, he is still young; On the other hand, it was also Bladefang's consistent performance that made the rest of the witch doctors expect more from him in terms of 'research', so there were no trolls to urge him to fulfill his duties.
Not realizing that he was being absent from work for a long time, he happily showed the witch doctors his latest results and explained them.
"Meditation method..... Meditation .... In between....."
“.... Such.... That.... Meditation space...."
“... Inside the Magic Crystal.... Runes.... For example, pyromy.... Such... That.... It worked...."
After a fragmented and scattered narrative that almost went anywhere he wanted, Bladefang looked at the three witch doctors with serious eyes, expecting them to respond.
However, this time, the witch doctors failed to respond in the first place....
There was a saying in my previous life, 'Half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman.' ’
Now, although Bladefang may not have become a madman in the eyes of the witch doctors, it has brought a lot of shock.
Magic crystal + lifespan = spell, this truth that has been maintained for an unknown number of years, has become a thing of the past in the hands of this underage troll, and he not only changed his 'lifespan' to 'physical strength', but even the magic crystal was also given up.
The theoretical part, which is full of imagination and exploration spirit, makes the witch doctors even more dizzy, and even lose the ability to think.
"It's... This... I don't understand, it's not as smart as you.."
The old witch doctor, who was the first to come to his senses, picked up the crutch that had fallen to the ground in shock earlier, and said with emotion.
Then, he said with some shame,
"Actually, I don't understand... What are you? ”
The other two witch doctors were awakened by his question, and they all shook their heads, saying that they had not been able to sort out their thoughts for the time being.
"Ahh This...."
Scratched his fangs helplessly, feeling a little distressed, there are still a lot of follow-up studies counting on everyone's collective efforts, if this initial popularization can't be done, wouldn't it be to continue to be a stand-alone?
It's not going to work, we have to find a way to fix it." ’
He only pondered for a moment before he made a decision, and said,
"In this way, it is easier for me to turn words than to say."
Hearing this, the mood of the witch doctors is a little complicated. This kind of complexity is not out of jealousy of geniuses, relatively pure they just feel guilty for 'dragging their feet';
And I have the heart to shirk it, but the new world is in front of me, and I am not willing to miss it like this.....
After looking at each other, they nodded helplessly and accepted what they thought was a 'gift'.
Bladefang wasn't an emotionally delicate troll, and he didn't get the witch doctors in the mood, so he left in a hurry.
Looking at his hurried back, the old witch doctor cleaned up his mood, threw up his crutches and knocked them on the thighs of the other two a few times, and said,
"Spirit! Disgrace? Feeded? Go! Go! Think deeply! ”
The old witch doctor didn't mention how to cheer up the juniors, and then Blade Fang returned to the house and began to think about how to proceed with the follow-up work.
"It's not just the witch doctors, if you want the latecomers to 'study' something, and make a summary of the content of their research all along, it's time to include it in the agenda.... Why don't you take this opportunity to do it together? ”
So, he took the spare clay tablets, dissolved the surface, and began to think of a suitable title.
Eventually, he carved the words 'Principles of Magic' as a summary of his research so far.
In this 'work', he plans to start with 'Conjecture on Spiritual Power', followed by 'Principles of Constructing Meditation Methods', 'Principles of Constructing Meditation Ideas', and 'Combining Meditation Methods and Contemplation Thoughts', followed by the finale, 'Analysis of the Symbolic Culture of the Magic Crystal Structure', 'Casting Spells Without Materials', and finally 'Forward-looking Thinking on the Study of Magic'.
After all, it was all self-researched and had already come to a conclusion, so I didn't think it was too challenging to write it other than it took time. But when it came time to actually put pen to paper, Blade Tooth realized that it was not an easy task to summarize it into a tome that others could understand.
First of all, his poor research habits have become an obstacle, because he has not the habit of recording and sorting out trivial ideas during research at any time, and he wants to complete it systematically in one go, which has become delusional, and the thinking work of the nature of recollection is destined to take up a considerable part of his time.
Second, as a book for all future researchers, it is inevitable to make a considerable degree of compromise in terms of language usage and details. Many words and phrases that he took for granted would be replaced; Some of the content that can be mentioned in the eyes of later learners may be quite necessary in the eyes of later learners, and how to choose between them must also be carefully grasped.
Thirdly, based on the fantasies and insights of his previous life, the succession between many points of view during the study has a thinking sequence and establishment logic that he takes for granted. But now, in the absence of those fantasies and insights, these 'taken for granted' are not necessarily understood. Therefore, between many chapters, the logic of many contents has to be reorganized, and the links between each other need to be clearer.
Finally, a considerable part of his sorcery research is based on the relatively vague part between reality and illusion. Whether it is 'runes', 'spiritual power', or 'meditation methods' and 'contemplation thoughts', if the latecomers cannot have a relatively accurate understanding of the 'foundation' on which they stand, and just blindly worship them as the immovable 'ancestral law', it will undoubtedly become a huge hidden danger that is even enough to destroy the entire system. Therefore, how to accurately express it has also become a rather troublesome kind of thinking.
Based on these difficulties, Blade Fang decisively gave up the delusion of completing the work at once, and began to prepare for a long battle.
