About a year ago, when Cyck asked to see Anthot's graduation thesis, Axett dug out a large white book ten centimeters thick from his desk and gave it to him, and placed it on the dining room table with a heavy "bump".

"It's so thick!" Xi Ke was stupid just by looking at the thickness, "Do you have to write so many words to graduate from Mage University?"

Xi Ke studied spell revising, and did not have to write a thesis and defense.

"I'm exaggerating, but there are still classmates who surpass me. Ampaert said in the form of a dragon, with a sense of pride.

Nick opened the paper and immediately became obsessed with it.

The paper mentions: "...... Paladins and Innate Mages exist on all continents of the Earth, but they are called differently in different places, and in some regions, Paladins and Innate Mages are considered to be the same kind of people, or they are divided into two or more different people by different standards......

「...... As mentioned earlier, analysis of historical records has confirmed that the creation of paladins and innate mages has nothing to do with heredity. Paladins and Innate Mages have the same genes as ordinary people, and they will not appear more often in excellent knight and mage families, and their descendants will not have a high proportion of Paladins and Innate Mages......

「...... However, research has also confirmed that paladins usually have the personality to become a knight. When not severely distorted by external forces, paladins usually embark on the path of maintaining fairness and justice, just like ordinary knights. Compared to paladins, it is not easy to find common points in the personality of innate mages, but the "understanding" of a mage usually overlaps with their innate spell types. 」

Xi Ke stared at the same page for five minutes, then flipped back and forth for another ten minutes, then held the book and ran to bury his face in Ampat's hair and pester him: "Master—look—I don't understand. 」

Ampaert licked his nose: "What can't you understand?"

Rick pointed to the "Innate Spell Type" paragraph.

"Meaning, you're a congenital necromancer, but you also have necromancy credentials. 」

Xi Ke's eyes were wide open, but he didn't understand here: "What is the difference between the qualifications of an innate necromancer and a necromancer?"

"You will be an innate necromancer because you can awaken the dead with your voice. 」

Rick nodded.

"But a qualification in necromancy means that you can learn necromancy. This is the difference between the theory of "results" and the theory of "potential". 」

"It's like riding a bicycle and the balance haode difference?"

"Almost. I'm going to give you a quiz. This is a test that the whole school takes when the students of Evon Sal University are in their third year, and it has become popular, and students from all schools have taken the initiative to do it. Ampaett took on human form and pulled out a large box from a large wooden box with a stack of old paper cards inside. On the back of the card is the glowing staff logo of the Staff of Light.

Anpaite shuffled the cards, pulled them out one by one, and placed them in the palm of his hand face up. Immediately he felt a steady stream of magical energy emanating from the card.

"Guess what kind of energy this is. Describe it?" Anpaitt said with a laugh.

Rick closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations intently: "-Hot, is it light?"

"Wrong. Ampaert flipped to the front, where a magic symbol was drawn: "The answer is 'flow.'" Try one more. 」

"Phantoms, not ghosts, not caused by light and shadow, psychogenic apparitions?"

"Correct answer. This is the illusion standard symbol for psychic spells. Ampaert smiled happily.

After guessing all the way like this, Ampaert put aside what he guessed correctly and put aside what he guessed wrong, and only after reading it all did he explain to Rick: "This test can test the range of your 'understanding'.

"Just as there are various differences in vision, such as dynamic shili and visual range, there are also differences in the 'feeling' of a mage. In fact, the problem of perception is very complex, it will be affected by innate and acquired, but also the influence of interest and brainpower, it is not fixed, this test is just a rough test, to see which areas are easier for you to enter the situation now. 」

Based on his understanding of the role of standard spell symbols in the magical system, Rick speculated, "Does the guessed symbol mean that I have a better idea of what type of energy nature?"

"Yes. It means that you have a clear understanding of the nature of this type of energy, not just in the written descriptions of the book, but in grasping the "common name". A big difference indicates that it has not yet been enlightened.

"My quiz cards only have basic symbols, and the Staff of Light publishes booster packs every year based on a new standard symbol table. Let's take a look at your quiz results. Ampaert picked up the stack of cards that Xi Ke had answered correctly: "Ghost Symbols, Cascading Shijie Symbols, Plant Nature Symbols, Intricate Medicinal Symbols......" He pulled out three of them and pointed them out to Xi Ke: "Ghost Existence, Silent Voice, Cascading Shijie." With these three concepts, you'll learn spiritism very quickly—" Ampaert pulled out another card: "This one is rarely answered correctly: Cut through shijie." 」

Rick remembered his answer: "A crack? not a crack in matter, not a crack in existence that allows it to open for some things and not for others. It will be worn in different places. It's different, even the laws of physics are different. It's like connecting 1D and 2D. Instead of seeing one dimension from two dimensions, it connects so that one thing exists on both sides. 」

"Let me assume your necromancer's ability structure. Since neither you nor you are licensed to study necromancy, we can only talk about it like a layman. Thousands of years ago, the innate necromancer Yesawa, he didn't hear the voices of the dead like you do. The dead do not speak in the manner of the living, and he cannot hear them. 」

Rick's eyes widened in surprise. He also thought that all necromancers would be able to communicate with the dead.

"Let's clarify first, what is 'necromancy'?"

"A spell that can wake up the dead and move?"

"Yes. Therefore, "being able to communicate with the dead" is not necromancy, it is classified as spiritism. So, the taboo question: how do you call the dead up for activity?"

Rick was silent, he knew what to do, but he couldn't explain it to anyone else.

"Keep it that way, don't say it. Ampai nodded, "Let's use other spells to discuss it, 'Heating' is a good example. You can use it to make tea at night or take a bath in the morning. Heating can be subdivided, right?"

"Heat-ray heating, microwave heating. Rick replied quickly.

"It's all heating again, and it can be done in several different ways, and the last time I saw you conjure up a fire. That's combustion, but it can also be used to boil hot water. When you throw the fireball at the kettle, you're also performing the "Heating Technique". 」

"It's also necromancy, but it can be done in different ways?"

"Yes, necromancy, like the Heating Technique, is a 'result-defined' spell, and it can contain a lot of magic jishu that is not directly related to the result. Both Jesava and you can awaken the dead, but I think you and he are completely different types of innate mages. You're going on different paths, but you just happened to meet at one point. 」

Rick's mouth was half-open in surprise. He's not the same as Jesahua? He never thought of it.

"Yesawa's necromancy is based on the art of manipulating the necromancy. 」

"That's the necros, let the corpse stand up and walk home on its own. Rick said, curling his neck. Necrophilia is a very old spell in the Ethero region, formerly known as "corpse chasing", which is a spell that can manipulate corpses as puppets.

"Yes. I haven't seen your necromancy, but I guess the starting point is closer to spiritism. Your true ability should be to call on the 'other' who is not in this shijie, and awakening the dead is just one of the ways to use it. 」

Xi Ke had never thought about such a thing before, and after Ampaert said it, he immediately realized, "That's right, that's right!" When he shouted, he was never calling for the dead, but for someone who wasn't on this shijie to come back. For him, whether the object is dead or alive is not a consideration. It reminded him of one thing: he couldn't intuitively distinguish between the living, the inhuman, and the dead, as long as he looked the same. Except intellectually they are not the same, they are all the same to him.

"Here's the point. Ampaert took a maltose and stuffed it into Rick's mouth, adding sugar to his head so that it could run at high speed. "Weishenme, do you have this ability? It has nothing to do with your bloodline, where did it come from?"

"I just know what to do to get my voice out there. He replied, "Just like a man speaks." 」

"No, do you really know how people talk?"

If you think about it, he hasn't been an ordinary person, and he probably doesn't really know.

"Ordinary people don't talk to other shijies, so you don't talk like ordinary people. You will think that you are talking like a normal person, because you learned to speak before you can remember, just like the average person. Ampett gushed on difficult professional topics: "If you look closely at the voices of ordinary people, you will find that they are also divided into throat pinching pronunciation and dantian pronunciation, the sound produced is different, and the distance that can be transmitted is also different. There must be something different about the way you and them make your voice different to have that effect.

"So, without special training, some people can only use their throats to make sounds, while others use louder dantians?

"This is the difference in 'understanding'. Some people can 'comprehend' a more haode pronunciation without being instructed, some people will only follow along after watching the demonstration, some people need to go through systematic training, and some people need to work hard to 'understand'.

"Innate mages are genetically the same as ordinary people. Dantian is usually present in everyone as well, but not everyone can use it. Although the layman often uses the term "innate mage's ability", you don't have any special abilities, you just understand a few more spell casting methods than others.

"There are a lot of spells that have been developed that started with the study of the way innate mages cast spells. The reason why I was able to replicate the spell-casting experience of the Innate Mage was because the spells cast by the Innate Mage were not 'special abilities', they were just 'superb skills' beyond the scope of existing spells!"

"weishenme, I'll know how to cast spells that don't exist yet?" asked Xi Ke in surprise.

"That's my reasoning from here. Annpaitt opened the paper and pointed out a passage for Rick to read.

The treatise says, "We call it the 'River of Night and Day,' the 'Dragon Vein,' or what the Venerable Tara called the 'Heavenly Path'...... The river of magic, which has many names, sometimes produces fleeting fountains of magic on the earth. It is known that coming into contact with the presence of a fountain while it is present tends to produce a change in its magical properties. New varieties of Warcraft, Magic Books, and so on are often created as a result. However, as a species that is already a magical creature in the first place, it will not have any effect if it touches the Magic Fountain.

"Humans can be said to be magical creatures, but most people don't use magic...... If we of the Atarorosaurus come into contact with the Magical Fountain Point while sleeping, we will enter what our race calls the "Dream Realm", which was originally a realm that we only wandered in when we were still dreaming in the egg. Our clan learns our dragon's liliang in that shijie, so that the dragon clan becomes a race with innate spell-casting ability......

Seeing the words "innate ability to cast spells", Xi Ke paused for a moment before continuing to read. This description is very similar to that of an innate mage.

「...... I think that when human children are still a blank slate, before their perception of this shijie is not limited by experience and five senses, if they come into contact with the magic fountain, they may also enter the dream realm. Adults will treat it as an incomprehensible dream, and subconsciously distort it into a worthless appearance, and only children can accept the original message of Shijie like my race. In the dream domain, there is everything that the heaven and earth have just opened, and that is also the appearance of Shijie before all the truths are hidden......

「...... Therefore, just as our compatriots show different dragon abilities based on the difference in individual understanding, human children also learn different things from the dream domain based on the difference in individual understanding...... The so-called paladins and innate mages are children who come into contact with the magic fountain during the mother's pregnancy, after the emergence of self-consciousness and before childbirth. This is more like the result of nature's "prenatal education" than "talent". 」

When Nick saw this, he looked up and suddenly found that he had been watching for three hours, and it was dark, and Ampaert turned on the light for him. The smell of roast pork wafted out the window, and Rick remembered that Ampaert said that he was going to roast miso pork today. The house was already full of incense, and he didn't even notice it.

Paladins and Innate Mages are not a new race that is different from ordinary people, they have just seen another side of this shijie and learned something from it.

All of this they know, others can learn, but they learn it before they are born.
