Main Text, Chapter 155: So-Called Magic
Butler Goode was responsible for the order on the periphery of Phantom Island, so Angel left with him.
"Master Pat, the reason why I don't teach you the magic is actually for your own good, as Flora said." Butler Goode said in a low voice.
Angel didn't say anything, but looked at Goode with doubtful eyes, waiting for his next words.
"Master Pat should know about the 'Path of True Knowledge', right?"
Angel nodded. The so-called path of true knowledge is actually walking your own path along the path of wizards. According to Sanders once said: "If you are not trapped by the predecessors and continue to work tirelessly for decades, even if the future is uncertain, it is a unique scenery. This kind of wizard is also called a real wizard ”
But Angel still doesn't understand, doesn't every wizard follow his own path? If you can successfully advance by copying the methods of your predecessors, then the number of wizards will not be so small.
"My lord wants you to embark on the path of true knowledge as soon as possible, so naturally he won't take the initiative to teach you techniques at this time." Good paused and then said, "Only you decide what you want to learn and understand why you want to learn it. When you get there When the time comes, adults will give you some appropriate advice on the path you choose, rather than actively guiding you to follow a predetermined route. This is the result of adults’ painstaking efforts.”
Goode's words cheered up Angel's depressed mood a little. Whether it is the path of a wizard, the path of magic, or something else, what others choose may not be suitable for you. Only you know what you want. Sanders didn't teach him any technique, because he actually didn't want to guide him deliberately...
However, the reason why Angel wanted Sanders to teach the technique was actually to save a fortune in contribution points! If you go to the cloud library, no matter which technique you learn, you will have to spend money! He is very poor now!
"Even if you want to guide me on the 'path of true knowledge', you can let me go to your study to have a look! It will also save me a lot of expenses." Angel cursed in his heart, Although he knew that Sanders's study seemed to have a lot of books, it was completely incomparable to the cloud library.
Walking all the way to the outskirts of Magic Island, when Angel was leaving, Good glanced at the eager wizard apprentices around him, and whispered in Angel's ear: "Master Pat, the Witching Garden will be opened in about a week. Completely accomplished, you should come as soon as possible, maybe you can also experience some opportunities. "
After Goode finished speaking, he hurriedly returned to the Black Demon Shadow Servant's army.
When Angel stepped onto the Sky Bridge again, he saw the three people who came from a distance, but they did not block the way this time.
The journey back to the Luoyunye platform went smoothly.
Angel was still thinking about the "path to true knowledge" as he left on the airbus.
He was still a little confused in the past and felt that Sanders's description of the path to true knowledge was too general, but after being pointed out by Goode, he suddenly gained some insights. The road to true knowledge may be a road full of personal imprints. On this road, there are personal thoughts, personal experiences, and personal insights. It will not change because of anyone. It is firm and independent and walks alone.
Angel suddenly remembered an incident from his childhood.
There is an Aunt Ruili in Pat's Manor who likes to take advantage. Everyone hates her because she always steals something from the kitchen, even Angel's milk. Therefore, Angel also hates her. Later, he talked about Aunt Ruili to his mentor Jon, but Jon smiled and said to him: "In the world you see, she is hateful, ugly, and annoying. But after she was adopted, In the eyes of the children, she is gentle, beautiful and trustworthy.”
As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. The disgust in the eyes of others always comes from other people's perspective. Just like a beautiful woman, everyone can reach the consensus that "she is a beautiful woman", but some people think she is beautiful because of her face; some people think she is beautiful because of her breasts, her waist, and her legs. , think she is beautiful; some people think she is beautiful because of her soul and character.
There is no distinction between high and low in this kind of comparison, whether it is based on looks or careless, in fact, the final conclusion is "she is beautiful".
The same is true for the road to true knowledge. Others' things may be able to achieve the current goal; but if you follow them blindly, you will lose your own judgment.
From the beginning, make firm self-judgment and think about your personal future direction alone. Perhaps this is the meaning of the road to true knowledge.
However, Angel was still a little confused. If the road to true knowledge is really as he imagined, it doesn't sound difficult. Why are so few wizards actually taking this step? Are there any other key points?
Angel got off the airbus and did not return to the Apprentice Town immediately. Instead, he headed to the central area of the Tree Spirit Garden.
After being promoted to a wizard apprentice, you must register. Only after registering can you go to the mission hall to receive missions.
After the registration was complete, Angel went to the resource allocation hall again. When he came out of the resource distribution hall, Angel had an extra package in his hand. There are two things inside, one is a burqa painted with simple magic patterns, the style is like the "sheet" worn by Sarum and Teutonia, but Angel's is a black "sheet"; the other is A communicator with the appearance of a crystal ball.
…
On the way back, Angel wanted to go to the cloud library and look for some books recording spells. But after thinking about it, I gave up.
Back then on the Cloud Whale, he recorded a lot of books from Sanders' library. He went to see if there were any books worth studying in depth.
After returning home, Angel let Toby go out to play by himself, and he went to the balcony alone.
Lord Shuling seemed to be very fond of the 8th Apprentice Town recently, and the sun was very bright today. When Angel left, he put the holographic tablet on the balcony to charge it, and now it is full.
Taking the holographic tablet back to the quiet room, Angel began to flip through the books he had recorded one by one.
The books recorded in the holographic tablet were very diverse. Angel spent most of the day roughly classifying them before he officially started reading.
To learn magic, you must first understand what magic is.
Magic is a way of expression with magic source as the core, magic power as kinetic energy, and knowledge as the structure. Specifically, it is: prying and interfering with the material world.
In other words, magic source, magic power, and knowledge are the three parts of magic.
For example, the O-level magic cleaning technique is a magic technique that combines water and wind to clean dirt.
Its release principle is to understand a certain combination and arrangement of water and wind elements, simulate it into a formula structure, and finally use magic to express it. It becomes this lowest-level magic.
The general meaning is to use magic to form a magic model with "formula structure" as the core, and then use it to pry the material world. However, the cleaning technique is only an O-level magic technique, so there are not many steps to perform it. But if you become a formal wizard, some advanced magic techniques actually require external assistance, such as ** transformation, gland changes, spell materials, etc.
For the cleaning technique, the predecessors have long summarized the model formed by this "formula structure". Later generations don't actually need to understand the "arrangement of water and wind elements" in detail. They can release it by directly applying the magic model.
At this time, Angel looked at a magic model on the holographic tablet that looked like "Jade standing on a plane", and his heart moved slightly.
The magic source outputs magic power, and the model of the cleaning magic trick is generated in the heart. Under Angel's control, the magic power slowly changes into this magic model.
The next second, a strange feeling is generated in the heart, and Angel releases this feeling from his fingers according to his heart.
Then, a humid wind blows through the quiet room, and all the scum on the ground and the dust on the wall are cleaned up.
"... Is this the cleaning magic? It seems a bit unreliable." Angel's attention is on the cleaning magic itself, so he doesn't know that he can succeed in performing the magic for the first time, which is simply against the sky. This is the benefit of the magic power after being refined by the singularity. Not only is it extremely pure, but its toughness and controllability are also greatly improved, so that he can perform the magic model accurately for the first time.
Angel continues to read down.
Similar low-level magic tricks, their magic models have been completely routine. Many wizard apprentices only memorize this model, but do not delve into its principles. They know it but don't know why. Although he was able to release the corresponding tricks in the end, he was actually just following the path of his predecessors.
When Angel saw this, his heart moved slightly.
He did not want to follow the path of his predecessors and just copy the trick model. He decided to start from scratch and deduce the process of the creation of the cleaning technique.
He found the specific principles of the cleaning technique and then read it carefully.
A day later, Angel began to calculate the arrangement and combination of Feng Shui elements. It only took half a day, and a 20-page book was filled with dense formulas. Even because the amount of calculation was too large, he did not deduce a single combination.
"No wonder everyone directly applies the trick model summarized in the book. If you calculate it yourself, it will take too much time, and the calculated combination may not be the best combination." Angel thought to himself, but he did not give up. He wanted to see the scenery of the way of magic from the root.
Angel spent another day and finally derived a combination.
Then according to the corresponding formula, it was constructed into a new trick model.
The final appearance of this magic model is: "A magatama cut by several planes."
It is very different from the model of "magatama standing on a plane" recorded in the book.
This time, Angell slowly released the magic power according to the cleaning magic model he derived:
-After a while, there seemed to be a breeze blowing on his face, and his collar shook slightly.
Angel took out a pen and paper to record: "The cleaning magic derived from this combination method has not achieved a balance between the Feng Shui elements, the water element is almost imperceptible, and the wind element seems to be there. It cannot be called a cleaning magic, not even a breeze magic."
Angel put away the pen and paper and prepared to derive another permutation and combination.
However, this time he chose to use the calculation function of the holographic tablet to achieve his goal quickly.
-When he first derived the cleaning magic, he used paper and pen to calculate just to understand the principle of the cleaning magic so as to "know why". Once he "understood", Angell naturally didn't want to derive one combination after another. With a holographic tablet, why waste time.
Ingres set the two elements of Feng Shui as a and b, and then input the formula, variables, and data.
Then, the system began to calculate automatically.
However, in just ten minutes of calculation, more than 30 permutations and combinations were listed.
