Chapter 28
If Ophelia did not see the gaze cast by everyone, she would have let go of worry in her heart. For one year, three magics, no matter how you say it, the standard is not high. Even though her learning speed in elemental magic is not fast, she has no worries about being retired.
In fact, this is only a minimum standard, and very few apprentices in the past have been removed for this reason. The real reason for the decrease in the number of apprentices is the pressure of multiple course assessments.
Mage Blake talked eloquently: "The elements are all-inclusive, your naked eye, the perception of mage, the touch of spirit strength, everything discovered through these methods exists outside the plane. The phenomenon is all elements."
"Fire." Mage Blake spread out his palm, and a cluster of flames burned above his palm.
"Water." The flame disappeared and replaced by a ball of water.
"Ice." The water ball solidified and turned into a piece of ice.
"Soil, light, dark..." Mage Blake one after another showed, as if drunk and stupefied, immersed in the magic of magic.
"And, wind." Mage waved his hand, and everyone felt a faint wind whirling past their ears.
"these all are elemental phenomena you can see intuitively with naked eye, elemental magic is the magic of applying them."
Mage Blake continued: "In the ancient age of mage, The ancient mages used the observation of day after day to transform phenomena into magic in a very crude way. This method is inefficient, because even if they comprehended magic from it, they didn’t understand the principle, which also led to , The inheritance of magic is extremely difficult. A kind of magic is often immutable and unstable. Mage's magic is even dangerous to backlash itself."
Everyone listened to Mage Blake's words attentively, before stepping into it. Before the road to mage, everyone's intuitive experience of mage and magic came from elemental magic, and the great power of manipulating nature was their original source of worship.
The optical projection behind Mage Blake lights up, and three familiar runes appear in the projection.
"Fireball Technique, everyone should be familiar."
Everyone is nodded, especially the apprentices from deserted islands. The reason why they can reach the Academy alive is because of Fireball Technique. power.
"This is the first magic that mage has mastered. In the ancient times of the plane of mage, humans were slaughtered by various demonic beasts. When they were on the verge of extinction, it was precisely because of the creation of Fireball Technique that they could barely reproduce."
Fire is the source of civilization. This seems to be the same no matter which world you are in. The same is true for Earth. It is because of the application of fire that weak individuals like humans can escape from barbarism. Adam thought of it.
"The Fireball Technique at that time was different from now. You should know that as long as you master these three runes proficiently, then the Fireball Technique you used is successful and stable, but in ancient times, Mages use magic to be much more dangerous."
Mage Blake paused, holding his hands in the air, and then a simple, nearly one-person staff appeared in his hand, and Mage Blake took it out. A Fire Element Energy stone was placed on the top of the staff, and then said to the apprentices,
"The first mages relied on energy stones and magic wands to cast their spells. They oscillated their spirit strength through sound, and inspired them with spirit strength. The low-level energy stored in the energy stone uses magic in this way."
Mage Blake signaled the apprentices to pay attention, then opened his mouth to say a few simple syllables, and then waved the staff, the energy stone was bright Immediately, a burning and unstable Fireball appeared on the tip of the staff.
Adam noticed that although those syllables sounded simple and meaningless, they were able to extract energy from the ore because of the change in pitch and resonance with the spirit strength.
The cast of ancient mage seems to have nothing to do with ether and magic.
Mage Blake put away the wand, and held up the unstable Fireball with one hand: "This is probably the original Fireball Technique, because the age is too old to be verified, and modern mages also There is no way to completely restore it. You can see its state, unstable, and the possibility of breaking at any time. This magic may even dissipate before it hits the enemy."
Mage Blake rose up in front of him A target, he waved and threw Fireball Technique onto the target. The target was completely motionless, and then a value-0.25 was displayed on it.
Mage Blake spread his hands and said: "The formidable power is very low. This kind of magic can't kill even an ordinary person now."
Adam looked at the target, It is guessed that it is an alchemy product similar to the principle of crystal ball. This data-based approach is undoubtedly advanced and intuitive. The precise value can accurately show the data, out of possibility, probably, this vague description.
Adam was still thinking about this, and he heard Mage Blake say: "Next, is the improved Fireball Technique."
There is no magic cast at this time, an orange Fireball Appear out of thin air and hover firmly in front of Mage Blake.
"I only mobilized the spirit strength of the apprentice phase, this Fireball is no different from what you did, pay attention."
Peng sound, the Fireball exploded on the rake, this The value displayed for time is 1.
"Modern magic supported by knowledge, rune structure, the lowest formidable power is one, the same low-level magic, formidable power is four times that of ancient magic."
" This is the power of knowledge." Mage Blake concluded.
Most people didn’t know the meaning of the word'knowledge' that has been stalked by mage before. They don’t understand it now, but this doesn’t affect their vision of knowledge from now on. It turns out that mage is not a mysterious and weird profession. As long as they have'knowledge', they can do the same thing.
"The essence of Fireball Technique is burning, and the source of formidable power is temperature. It is an exothermic reaction produced by the action of combustibles and combustion agents. In Fireball Technique and most Fire Element magic, combustibles It’s ether, and the burning agent is magic. The magic spurs ether to release magic."
Adam felt that Mage Blake did not fully explain the principle of Fireball Technique. At least he did not do anything with ether, a mysterious and great substance. According to the statement on Earth, combustion is an exothermic reaction between combustibles and oxidants. In the mage world, ether obviously replaces these two conditions.
So, that is to say that the power of mage comes from knowledge rather than ether?
Adam listened to what Mage Blake said while recording them in a way that he could understand. Obviously, there is no essential difference in the basic physical quantities in this plane form of the world. It is also the reason that this kind of world possesses extraordinary power, which is the mysterious ether.
"No, spirit strength must be added. In other words, in addition to the four fundamental forces that do not yet know how to exist, there are also the fifth fundamental strength spirit strength and the sixth fundamental strength ether . The six great powers jointly built the high magic world."
Mage Blake did not show other magic and teach other knowledge. He is still introducing based on the Fireball Technique, and ether is constantly mentioned by him, even more so. Adam determined the importance of ether.
"So, can we say that everything in this World is created and integrated by ether? Mage are just exploring ether through knowledge?"
Adam knows that he is right now The shallow understanding of this World is not enough to study this kind of problem that reaches the essence of the world. He doesn't even know whether the problem itself has practical significance, but he can completely determine one thing now.
That is, the value of the broken knowledge obtained from the'virus' has once again been reduced. Due to the existence of ether, the magic science and Earth science unique to this World have taken different paths from the very beginning. , It is uncertain whether those knowledge can be established in this World, maybe there is only a little reference meaning?
At the end of the course, Mage Blake released three sets of rune groups consisting of three runes, namely the water curtain of Water Element, the defensive magic, and the wind blade of Wind Element. William used the magic item on the ship to stimulate The magic, the ground thorn of the Earth Element, the attack magic.
"The elemental knowledge in the free phase of the first year will not teach you profound content. Your task in this year is to learn the three element magics. You can also choose to pay for the study in the library The other low-level element magic rune groups, but three are the minimum requirements."
"In the next course, you can consult me about the problems encountered when constructing rune. Of course, don’t use it. Stupid questions are delaying my time. I bet you won’t want to endure the consequences."
Mage Blake left the classroom after speaking. The apprentices’ enthusiasm grew even more this time. The Meditation Method is different, seeing the power of magic intuitively makes them more excited, especially when they have the opportunity to master this power.
This kind of simple magic seems to be no difficulty in Adam's view. He found the common points in the rune group, including Fireball Technique. One of them is similar or even the same. That is The one that guides the magic.
"Sure enough, ether is the source of magic."
In the next week, the apprentices listened to all the free courses, and every instructor had their requirements. The unsuccessful results are all retreats. Although it is not difficult, it is still a huge test for some unwise apprentices.
For Adam, there is no difficulty, but he discovered the meaning of the first year of learning. This method is similar to the preparatory class on Earth, and it is used to select from the qualified apprentices of spirit strength. Good seedlings that are enough to adapt to mage cultivation, and then return the defective products.
Because of the pressure, the apprentices became nervous, and the learning atmosphere was unprecedentedly high. With everyone learning, Adam became a stranger again, and the apprentices thought that he had no desire to improve.
