Mage Adam Chapter 28: Element (2)

Ophelia turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, but she let go of her worries. In one year, three magics, this standard is not high, even if she is in elemental magic. The speed of learning is not fast, and there is no worry of being dismissed.

In fact, this is only the minimum standard. Few of the previous apprentices were dismissed for this reason. The real reason for the decrease in the number of apprentices was the pressure of multiple course assessments.

Mage Black talked eloquently: "The elements are all-encompassing, your naked eyes, the perception of the mage, the touch of spiritual power, all the phenomena that exist in the planes and outside the planes found through these methods are all elements. "

"Fire." Mage Black spread out his palm, and a cluster of flames was burning above his palm.

"Water." The flames disappeared, replaced by a ball of water.

"Ice." The water balloon solidified and turned into a piece of ice.

"Earth, light, darkness..." Master Black showed them one by one, and everyone was fascinated and immersed in the magic of magic.

"And, the wind." With a wave of the mage's hand, everyone felt a faint wind whirling past their ears.

"These are elemental phenomena that you can intuitively see with the naked eye, and elemental magic is the magic that applies them."

Mage Black continued: "In the days of the ancient wizards, the ancient wizards transformed phenomena into magic in a very crude way through day-to-day observation, which was inefficient because they even understood from it. Magic, and I don't understand its principles, which also led to the extremely difficult inheritance of magic in that era. A kind of magic is often immutable and unstable, and the magician casts even the danger of backlash."

Everyone listened attentively to the words of Mage Black. Before they entered the path of Mage, everyone's intuitive feeling about Mage and magic came from elemental magic. The great power of manipulating nature was their original Worship source.

The optical projection behind Mage Black lit up, and three familiar runes appeared in the projection.

"Fireball, everyone should be familiar with it."

Everyone nodded, especially the apprentices from the desert island. The reason why they were able to reach the academy alive was because of the power of the fireball technique.

"This is the first magic master mastered. In the Mage plane, humans were slaughtered by various monsters in ancient times. When they were on the verge of extinction, it was because of the creation of fireball that they could barely reproduce."

Fire is the source of civilization, which seems to be the case in any world, and the same is true of the earth. It is because of the application of fire that a weak individual such as human beings can escape from barbarism. Adam thought so.

"The fireball technique at that time was different from now. You should know that as long as you master these three runes, the fireball technique you use will be successful and stable. In ancient times, mages used Magic is far more dangerous."

Mage Black paused, holding his hand in the air, and then a staff with a simple shape and a height of nearly one person appeared in his hand. Mage Black took out a fire energy stone and placed it on the top of the staff. and said to the apprentices,

"The original mages relied on power stones and magic wands to cast spells. They vibrated their spiritual power through sound, and used their spiritual power to stimulate the low-level energy stored in the power stones, and used magic in this way."

Master Black signaled the apprentices to pay attention, then opened his mouth to say a few simple syllables, then waved his staff, the power stone lit up, and a flaming and unstable fireball appeared at the tip of the staff.

Adam noticed that although those few syllables sounded simple and meaningless, because of the change in pitch, they resonated with the spiritual force, so that energy could be extracted from the ore.

The ancient wizard's spellcasting does not appear to have anything to do with aether or magic.

Mage Black put away the staff and held up the unstable burning fireball with one hand: "This is probably the original fireball technique, because the age is too old to be verified, and modern mages have no way to fully restore it. . You can see its state, unstable, and may break at any time. This kind of magic may even dissipate itself before it hits the enemy."

A target was raised in front of Mage Black. He waved his hand and threw the fireball technique on the target.

Master Black spread out his hands and said, "The power is very low. At present, this kind of magic cannot kill even an ordinary person."

Adam looked at the target and guessed that it was probably an alchemy product similar to the principle of a crystal ball. This data-based approach is undoubtedly advanced and intuitive, and precise numerical values ​​can accurately display the data, which is out of the possibility, probably, this vague description.

Adam was still thinking about this when he heard Mage Black say: "Next, is the improved fireball technique."

Without any casting action this time, an orange fireball appeared out of nowhere and hovered steadily in front of Mage Black.

"I only mobilized the mental power of the apprentice stage. This fireball is no different from the one you used, pay attention."

With a bang, the fireball hit the rake and exploded, this time with a value of 1.

"Modern magic, which is supported by knowledge and constructed from runes, has the lowest power of one. The same low-level magic is four times more powerful than ancient magic."

"That's the power of knowledge," concluded Mage Black.

Most people didn't know the meaning of the word 'knowledge', which was always talked about by mages, and they don't understand it now, but this does not affect their longing for knowledge from now on. It turns out that mages are not What a mysterious profession, as long as they have 'knowledge', they can do the same thing.

"The essence of fireball is combustion, and the source of power is temperature. It is an exothermic reaction generated by the action of combustibles and incendiary agents. In fireball and most fire magic, the combustibles are ether, incendiary It is magic power, and the magic power pulls the ether to release magic."

Adam felt that Master Black did not fully explain the principle of fireball, at least he did not introduce the mysterious and great matter of ether. According to the saying on earth, combustion is an exothermic reaction of combustibles and oxidants. In the wizarding world, ether obviously replaces these two conditions.

Then, rather than saying that the power of the wizard comes from knowledge, it is better to say that it comes from the ether?

Adam listened to Mage Black's narration and recorded them in a way that he could understand. Obviously, in this world in the form of planes, there is no essential difference in the basic physical quantities. The reason why the world possesses extraordinary power is the mysterious ether.

"No, we also need to add spiritual power, that is to say, in addition to the four basic forces whose existence is unknown, there are also the fifth basic force spiritual force and the sixth basic force ether. A world of high magic has been constructed."

Mage Black did not show other magic or teach other knowledge. He was still introducing based on fireball. Ether was constantly mentioned by him, which made Adam determine the importance of ether.

"So, can it be said that everything in this world is created and unified by the ether? The mages are just exploring the ether through knowledge?"

Adam knows that his shallow understanding of the world is not enough to study the problem of reaching the essence of the world, and even he does not know whether the problem itself has any practical significance, but he can now be completely sure of one thing .

That is, the value of the broken knowledge obtained from the 'virus' has been reduced again. Due to the existence of ether, the magic science and earth science unique to this world have taken different paths from the beginning. It is uncertain whether the world can be established, maybe there is only a little reference?

At the end of the course, Mage Black released three sets of runes composed of three runes, namely the water curtain of the water system, the defensive magic, the wind blade of the wind system, and the one that William on the ship used to inspire with magic items. Magic ~IndoMTL.com~ Earth thorns, attack magic.

"The elemental knowledge in the first year of the free stage will not teach you advanced content. Your task in this year is to learn three elemental magics. You can also choose to go to the library to pay to learn other low-level elemental magics. The rune set, however, three is the minimum requirement."

"In the next lesson, you can ask me about the problems you encountered when constructing the runes. Of course, don't waste my time with stupid questions. I bet you won't want to suffer the consequences. ."

After Mage Black left the classroom, the enthusiasm of the apprentices was even higher this time. Unlike the morning meditation, they were more excited to see the power of magic intuitively, especially when they had the opportunity to master this power. .

This kind of simple magic seems to Adam without difficulty. He found the common point among the rune groups, including fireball, and they all have a rune that is similar or even the same, that is, to guide magic the one.

"Sure enough, ether is the source of magic."

In the next week, the apprentices listened to all the free courses. Every tutor has their own requirements. The results that cannot be achieved are all dismissal. Although it is not difficult, it is not difficult for some apprentices who are not smart. It's still a huge test.

Naturally, it was not difficult for Adam, but he discovered the meaning of the first year of study. This method is similar to the preparatory classes on Earth. It is used to select from the spiritually qualified apprentices enough to adapt to the practice of masters. good seedlings, and then return the defective products.

Because of the pressure, the apprentices were all tense, and the learning atmosphere was unprecedentedly high. Under the circumstance that everyone was studying, Adam became an anomaly again, and the apprentices thought he had given up on himself.
