Chapter 23: The Principles of the Iron Mind
"Count this guy as acquaintances, know I'm very good, hum. Lothas's heart was secretly happy, but his face remained as cold as ever, and he casually handed the magic book to Leo.
Leo didn't expect the other party to be so happy, and he was a little stunned for a while.
"Why? don't?" Lothas tilted his head, and although he was sitting and Leo was standing, it didn't affect his condescending attitude.
"Yes, of course!. Leo hurriedly took the spell book, as for the other party's attitude...... Only the neurotic will have a theoretical attitude with the elves.
Holding the "Detailed Explanation of Iron Mind Casting" in his hand, Leo showed a sincere smile, thanked Lorsas, and left in a hurry, it was already afternoon, he had to hurry up and study, the difficulty of level 2 magic is not something that can be learned in a moment.
Lothas looked at Leo's speeding back, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and quickly lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.
............
Finding a quiet corner, Leo flipped through the books in his hand.
The Iron Mind Casting Explained looks thick and old, with broken edges, apparently read countless times, and is a sought-after level 2 magic, which makes Leo happy with his decision.
After flipping through it at first, he realized that the real book was actually only more than ten pages, and the reason why it seemed thick was because the book was completely written on magic paper. Magic paper, on the other hand, is made from the slurry of the magic plant magic vine, which has excellent magic-carrying and conductive properties, so it is often used to make low-level magic scrolls, but because of the thickness of this paper, few people will use it to write books.
Putting aside the cranky stuff in his head, Leo was going to go through it first, and then focus on copying. Turning to the first page, there is an introduction to the Iron Mind, which is similar to what is described in the Encyclopedia of Magic. Therefore, it can be skipped.
The second page is the main point, the principle of casting the iron mind, not only to memorize, but also to understand clearly, this part alone, stands half of the entire book.
Continuing to look at the back, there is the explanation of the incantation, which is only twenty-two syllables, and the high-level magic with hundreds of syllables at every turn must be very simple. But don't underestimate these twenty-two mantra verses. Because the sound of magical words is inherently awkward, the different pause intervals between each syllable must be completely accurate, and even the slightest error makes magic impossible to complete.
In the end, there is no exception to the interpretation and analysis of the magic components. Not surprisingly, this magic book, which is collected by the Academy, is also not a large road item collected by the Joseph family library, and the content behind it is completely written in magic ink. Under the probing, Leo felt the magic coming out of the paper. It forms a three-dimensional structure, so that people can clearly grasp the direction of magic and the drawing process of components.
Such a well-developed guide is like having a teacher in front of you to demonstrate the process of casting the Iron Heart, no, it's better than the teacher. Because Leo can watch and learn over and over again.
............
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, the sun had set.
Leo still underestimated the difficulty of this magic. Not only is it far more than the O and Level 1 magic copies, but it is even more than the few Level 2 spells that Leo has already learned, if there is no certain foundation. Can't learn at all.
Fortunately, Leo has made up a lot of basic magic content in the past six months, combined with the knowledge of the day in his previous life, at this moment, he has read the whole book and has an overall concept, even if he can't successfully cast it in a short time, it doesn't prevent him from being able to understand the principle of its effect.
This magic is made up of two most important parts, one for protection and one for influence, and this is the core of Iron Mind's magic, and Leo spends most of his time on these two parts.
At first, he inevitably took some detours. Because according to the view of the previous life, the cause that affects human emotions and minds comes from the secretion of hormones. And this magic, which can resist fear and charm, is likely to rely on the power of magic to make the human body actively secrete a certain high-performance hormone, so as to achieve the goal of heart like steel.
However, Leo ignores the fact that the world of Gaia is a world of natural forces, and the mages here believe that it is the soul that determines the fluctuations of human emotions.
In fact, in the age of ancient magic, the study of the soul was a very dangerous thing, because almost all gods, including false gods and evil gods, believed that the soul was never within the reach of mortals, and this was the basis for their superiority over the mundane.
They are able to control the soul, instantaneously transfer a soul from one place to another, torture it, play with it, and destroy it. The gods can also create zào souls, and they are in their own divine domain, which is conducive to the power of the souls of believers after death, create zào new heroic spirits, and then let these souls enter the material plane and become more loyal believers.
And they believe that this is the great power given to the Supreme by the rules of the cosmic plane, and mortals will never be allowed to touch it.
But is that really the case?
Leo knew, and the mages were brave enough to say: No!
Even if they were intercepted, killed, and burned at the stake, there were still countless mages, studying souls one after another.
In the end, they relied on a series of great realities to fully prove that the birth of the souls of the vast majority of living beings had nothing to do with God, but that the creatures came into being naturally after the fusion of gestation factors and the magical fluctuations of the rules of the universe.
As for what this fluctuation is, there is no universally accepted theory yet, and many mages are not hopeful that the secret of whether or not it will be revealed, because it is like why the universe exists, you may never find the answer, but it is the existence of zài. With the deepening of the study of the soul, the mages have realized that many human emotions are directly conveyed to the body by the soul, including fear, joy, sadness, and so on.
Once the soul can be surrounded by some kind of power, it can greatly reduce the interference of these emotions on itself, which is one of the functions of the "Iron Mind" magic, which protects the soul from external influences, so as to maintain stability.
And when it comes to researching the second part of the Iron Mind, the influence, Leo also has a hard time. Because this part is very strangely presented, and there are many words inserted that he can't understand, or have never seen before. Leo didn't understand the meaning of those magic components, but he guessed that their purpose was probably to induce hormone secretion!
Although they are two very different worlds, Leo really can't see how much difference there is between the humans in this world and the humans in the previous life, both of them also need to breathe air, drink, eat, sleep, and have the same internal organs, with blood flowing throughout the body.
Even if the soul affects a certain amount of mind, it does not prevent hormones from being saved.
Leo knew that if he wanted to learn this magic, he had to figure it out, and the mages of the Necromancy School who studied life science the most.
Those who spend their days with corpses and ghosts are eerie and scary, but all mages have to admit that a large part of the appearance of souls and human bodies comes from the Necromancy.
"But this magic is obviously a protective ......," Leo thought with some embarrassment, because he didn't know any powerful necromancers.
Leo didn't know if there was really such a thing as hormones in this world, and on the earth, hormones were only discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century, and his strong desire for knowledge made him uncontrollable to find someone to ask if there were hormones in this world, and how the iron mind took effect.
"Whom are you looking for, who are you looking for, who are you looking for?"
Muttering silently, a tall figure soon appeared in Leo's mind.
"Laurinda, I think she seems to be a protection specialist!" Leo suddenly closed the book in his hand and put it back in its original position as quickly as possible. As for the content, it has already been saved in the professor's memory and can be accessed at any time. (To be continued......)
