Chapter 35: The Tower of Reflection

After a while, the girl whom Anthony called Celine walked in, holding a book in her hand.

After putting the book aside, he walked out again.

Anthony picked up the book and said to Adam, "The profession of sorcerer is one of the transcendent professions, and its main practice is the interference of the soul with material power, spiritual power. ”

"The ultimate goal is to discover the mysteries of the soul. ”

"There are many ways to use spiritual power, such as enhancing momentum, such as directly controlling the mind to turn it into direct power, but this is too low for the utilization rate of spiritual power, which is a great waste. ”

So people developed a magic method to show extraordinary miracles by studying the forces in the natural environment, so that their spiritual power could be linked with these forces. ”

"It's just that most spells can't be cast right away, so there's a spell book. When Anthony opened the book, he could see that each page was not paper, but a hard piece of unknown material.

"The pages of the book are forged from rare ores that can retain spiritual power, and the spiritual power is used to leave a simplified ritual on the pages in advance, and when it is used, it can be directly activated and the spell can be released. ”

Anthony was holding the book, only to see a circle suddenly appear on the first page, and it was imprinted.

"I have reserved a spell on it, you can use your own spiritual power to hook and cast, although because the spiritual frequency does not match, there will be a penalty of halving the power, but it can also provide you with a dustless shield that lasts for about three minutes. ”

"Now this one is yours. Anthony put it in front of Adam, causing Adam to feel some kind of shock.

To tell the truth, Adam has been reincarnated in this world for almost thirteen and fourteen years, and he basically has nothing valuable in his hands, and today he was directly given a spell book that is extremely valuable just by looking at it.

Think about it, on Alva's side, the apprentice can only do coolies, but on Anthony's side, the teacher immediately sent the spell book, and even thoughtfully left the protective spell on it.

At this moment, Adam was a little confused, but he still quickly took over the spell book, he is a different species, this kind of background cannot be changed, if he is really an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will really be able to concentrate on practicing here with peace of mind.

"You should have parted your hair a little bit. Anthony said with a smile, glancing at the scar on Adam's face, shaking his head and saying, "People need to be confident, it's just a scar." ”

"......" Adam smiled, lowered his head slightly, and said, "I'm used to it." ”

"Come with me. Anthony stood up and walked out the door, and Adam immediately got up and followed.

"I opened up an internal counterpart space by the reflection of the clock tower, which I call the reflection tower, and we are actually hanging upside down now. Anthony walked ahead, turning from time to time and speaking to Adam with a hint of ostentation.

"I live at the top of the twelve-story tower, which also houses my lab. Little by little, Anthony introduced Adam here.

"There are twelve floors and twelve rooms, and that place just now is the reception floor. Anthony waved his hand on the door, and an I. appeared on it: "It's a pity that there are not many guests." ”

Along the way, Anthony taught Adam how to use the chained gold coin to reach the corresponding layer.

Each of the twelve floors of the entire Reflection Tower has its own role, but Anthony has only opened the one, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth floors to Adam.

As for the other floors, Anthony said there was something threatening and not suitable for Adam.

Their ultimate destination is the tenth floor, where there is a library, where most of the future classes will be held.

Anthony waved a book and placed it in front of Adam.

Unlike Kim's teaching style of pursuing practicality and breaking down all the basics to Adam, Anthony first told Adam about the history of the sorcerer.

The three sons gave birth to a pair of men and women, named Di and Yi respectively. ”

"Di and Yi were united and gave birth to forty-nine sons. ”

"When he gave birth to the fiftieth son, he continued to bleed until his stomach was shriveled and no fetus was born. ”

Agony, Yi gathered the blood-stained dirt and, despite Di's dissuasion, began to study how to give birth to the fiftieth son. ”

On the first day, Di brought forty-nine people, and Yi Wei opened the door. ”

The next day, Di brought forty-eight sons, and Yi Wei opened the door. ”

Until the first son and his father Di knocked on the door together, and Yi did not open the door, the father and son broke in, and Yi, who was like a dry bone, had already lifted the fiftieth son who was crying. ”

When the first son took over his brother, Di found that Yi was dead. ”

"One life, one death. - "The Prophet: The Chronicle of the Son of Man"

Anthony read this passage lightly, a little lonely between his words, and then said to Adam.

"Letting the unborn die, Yi's actions have been interpreted by the Church in later generations, some believe that she should be canonized as a virgin, and others think that she is a sinner. ”

"But for the sorcerer, Yi is considered to be the origin of the sorcerer. ”

"The fiftieth son of man is considered to be the sorcerer as a whole. ”

"So the answer is the deceased?" Adam remembered the question Sirin had asked when he came to the Tower of Reflection.

"Pretty much. Anthony closed the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Sorcerer is the common name for this profession that has developed to this day. ”

"In fact, in ancient times, the professions of sorcerer and witch doctor were not separated, and all those who practiced spiritual power or studied the power of resurrection claimed to be the deceased or the fiftieth son of man. ”

"And that's where the earliest meditations came from. Anthony patted the prophecy and said: "Di and his children knock on the door every day to let Yi open the door, but he has not been able to succeed." ”

"From here, the most important element of a sorcerer is concentration. ”

"The same is true of meditation, which blocks out the other senses of oneself and focuses only on the senses derived from the soul, so that one is aware of the existence of spiritual power little by little. ”

"Our brain is the house, our heart is the door, close it, and open it when the results are achieved. ”

"It's just that this step is dangerous, and although Yi has achieved results, he has died because of it. ”

On the basis of this meditation method, future generations have continued to improve and extend, and there are various advanced meditation methods today. ”

"However, if you have awakened your spiritual power on your own, you don't need to practice meditation, but you can start directly with advanced meditation. ”

"Next, I will teach you the advanced meditation method of my practice, the Underworld. Anthony was not stingy at all, and slowly spoke the mystery of his meditation method.

It is still an extension of Yi's deeds, and later generations believe that the fiftieth son of man is a stillborn child, which has long been turned into blood and water, and the soul that has not yet died has returned to the arms of God.

This is also the most controversial point of the churches about Yi, who believes that Yi's magic is a kind of disrespect to God by bringing back dead souls.

Of course, some people say that the soul of the fiftieth Son of Man is still with God, and Yi has only summoned it by projection.

Later, the body of the fiftieth Son of Man was made of blood-stained soil, which was also called the underworld.

The Underworld Meditation is an extension of this, and its essence is the study of the soul and life.

"Sorcerers have developed to this day, and with the continuous enrichment of content, the entire profession has gradually been subdivided. Anthony explained some of the main points of the Underworld Meditation Method to Adam, and then talked about the subsequent development of this meditation method.

"After the practice of the Underworld meditation method, the spiritual power derived from it is biased towards the control of the soul and the transformation of life. ”

"From this point of view, it can involve the types of spells such as generation, summoning, curse, and necromancy in the sorcerer, but curses and necromancy are rejected by the church, and it is best not to use them. ”

"The spells I used to build the Reflection Tower belong to the creation category, and the spells I will teach you in the future are mainly creation and summoning. Later, Anthony explained to Adam the method of meditation in the underworld, and warned him not to be anxious in his practice, and to come to the Reflection Tower in time to find him if there is anything unusual.

"I see, Mr. Anthony. Adam nodded, full of respect for Anthony, who was undoubtedly worthy of his respect.

"There's one more thing. Anthony hesitated for a moment before saying, "After you go out, you don't have to hide your identity as a magician, but don't tell others that you are studying with me. ”

"Don't even mention I'm alive. ”
