Chapter 144 The Emerald Form of "Dream Art" (seeking follow-up)

"Experimental project: Research on the operating principle of "Magic Trick" and its magical structure.

The purpose of the experiment: to verify the spell structure of Siris magic, and realize the complete scripting of the magic (similar to the complete oracle bone culture of the "Light Art" scroll).

Experimental means: multiple spellcasting, gradual replacement of runes, spells.

Control group: traditional spellcasting, oracle bone culture, gold culture, seal characters..."

With a soft rustling sound, the magic quill floated on the table, diligently writing the words that emerged in Roland's mind.

Roland lay comfortably on the rocking chair, playing with the ears of the fox-eared lady who was kneeling beside him, checking for gaps and making plans.

Not long after, he patted Fox Er Niang and ordered: "Go and pour me a cup of hot coffee."

Then, quickly began to experiment.

Since the 0-level spells are so simple, the experiment was completed quickly.

At this time, the coffee offered by Fox Er Niang was still warm.

Roland took a sip from the cup, did not stop to rest, but continued to study non-stop.

"The next step: to refine the common casting elements of "Magic Trick" and "Limited Wish". "

The difficulty here has suddenly increased a lot, because most of the wishing spell information he has at present is related to the level 9 "wishing spell" published by Master Watson.

Don't talk about research, just understanding that paper is already quite strenuous.

Fortunately, Roland had cast the "Limited Wishing Spell" and had discussed this spell with Hodolf of Rune City, so he had some experience with it.

Now, this experience will come in handy.

As these were completed one after another, Roland's attempts gradually came to the core part.

"Reform "Magic Trick" to simulate other spell effects, for example, "Light Art"..."

"~~~,~~~~~~~~!"

After a magic reform, a bright brilliance rose up in the room.

Suddenly, like an incandescent lamp failing, the ballast not working well, the light flickered.

It was about to go out immediately.

Roland mobilized the divine power of Tinyara deep in his mind and injected a trace of dream into it.

"With dreams there is everything.

Light up for me! "

The brilliance flourished, and the entire room was illuminated by white light like daytime.

And, as imagined, extremely stable.

"It seems to be successful?"

Roland looked happy.

Although this is just an effect similar to "Light Art", in essence, it is cast through the magic components and magic structure of "Magic Trick".

And the incantation also contains the verbal elements of the "wish technique".

This is modified by using the principle of wishing to simulate other spells.

After having this successful experience, it is possible to eliminate the influence of divine power and conduct a thorough analysis of its spell structure.

There is a prerequisite here, that is, Roland has actually clarified most of the spell structure and casting elements, leaving only a few unknown parts.

That is the "black box" that his cognition has never reached.

The next step is to conquer the "black box" and make everything transparent to the eyes, which is understandable.

This requires some down-to-earth efforts, but even if you can't completely conquer it in the end, you can still shrink the "black box" to reduce the consumption of divine power and increase the effect of spells.

This is the same reason as using "Language Proficiency" in the past. First use the effect of the spell to experience the state of achieving the goal, and then go back and analyze it.

Get twice the result with half the effort.

Roland was not busy proceeding to the next step, but instead made an experiment plan and prepared to disassemble the "black box".

It wasn't until a long time later that I felt my brain was exhausted, so I stopped and said, "Al, I'm going out for a while!"

Al soon appeared, bowed and said: "Master, I will prepare a carriage for you immediately."

Immediately came to the stairs, and shouted to the two cat-eared girls who were playing downstairs: "Nicole, Rilla, stop playing, and go out with the master."

The two cat-eared girls quickly changed into their luggage and followed Roland downstairs, and walked out from the gate of the mage tower on the first floor.

On the square at the entrance, there was a ready-made carriage, loaded with Roland and Cat-Ernix, and headed towards the east mountain peak.

He went out this time to visit the Green Dragon Trina at the Dragon Palace on the opposite hill.

He couldn't leave the green dragon Trina here alone.

Whether it is showing concern or regular monitoring, in the end it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of contact.

……

Just when Roland and Trina were pretending to be in love.

Laputa in the Sky, Nevis.

In the private laboratory of Master Watson.

"Success!"

Accompanied by a slightly excited voice, Archmage Watson laughed and stood up.

His hair was fluffy, his eyes were swollen, and his eyeballs were bloodshot. He looked haggard after suffering day and night and working overtime for a long time.

But the spirit is full, and the face is full of ruddy luster.

Master Watson held a stack of thick manuscript paper in his hand, and announced loudly: "I have finally completed the re-deconstruction of the "Prayer Technique"! "

"Congratulations, teacher, in this way, the threshold for masters of Alteraine to master this kind of spell will be even lower.

This will inevitably lead to a new wave of learning and research, and even completely change the application of this spell. "

Next to it, a high-ranking mage said with a smile on his face.

That was his student, Master Minx of the Autododox School.

"It's just a continuation of the last result. Let's sort out this result and publish it in "Magic"."

Master Watson rubbed his messy hair, only to suddenly realize that he had not had a haircut for a long time after retreating and studying for a long time.

"Teacher, you are finally out!"

Not long after, Jia Luo and the group arrived after hearing the news, but they were somewhat worried.

"Currently, the Seris School has initially taken shape, and many people are joining it. If this paper is published, won't it be a building block for them?"

"Absurd, the school is a man-made division. If the arcane achievements of the Siris school are studied carefully, they can also be used by the people of the Autodox school. Do you think the name of this school is important, or the actual members? ?”

"But, teacher..."

Gallo couldn't help moving his lips, but he could only stop knowingly when he saw that Archmage Watson quickly focused his attention on the research manuscript.

Not long after, someone distributed a copy of the transcribed manuscript to him, and Gallo became more surprised and chilled the more he read it.

They have already realized the complete oracle bone culture, which can almost be called "Seres wishing technique"!
Master Watson's research and mastery of this kind of magic is very deep, and his attainments in this field are unmatched by anyone in the entire Atlas.

Among the Seres languages, at least one item of oracle bone inscriptions is extremely compatible with the "wish technique". The brand-new form modified by using this language has the characteristics of being simpler and easier to learn.

No wonder teachers are determined to study this language with great concentration!

At this time, Master Watson was also looking at the materials.

"A new script has come out during this period of time? Let me see... it is a seal character that is in line with oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions? This kind of script has added many new words and has become more complete!"

He suddenly discovered that it made up for some shortcomings of oracle bone inscriptions, and many meanings that could not be expressed could be expressed smoothly.

This is a sign of the gradual maturity of the writing and article system, because the period when seal characters were widely used, the national administrative system had developed to a relatively mature stage.

This is not like the tribal period, where you only need to record how much food is stored in the warehouse, when prisoners of war were captured, and the Qiang people were "appropriate".

Beginning with bronze inscriptions, the content of written records has already included a large number of things about the emperor, praising the achievements of ancestors and princes, and also recording major historical events.

It led writing systems into more complex and richer realms of meaning.

As the administrative system developed and matured, national laws, administrative documents, poems, songs, etc. emerged together.

Even, folk letters began to circulate.

The most famous family letter that Roland knows is the letter written by "Jing" and his brother "Hei Fu" to "Zhong" during the Qin Dynasty.

"Use the Yuanbai money, and the family will send it away, and you will die. Hurry up..."

The trivial matters of life are communicated and expressed in words.

Although it is ghostwriting, it also proves that it is popularizing downwards.

Later generations may regard these things as inevitable, but the fact is that characters, as high-end applications in the language system, were not designed for the general public at the beginning, but for kings and wizards, and for managers.

Throughout the ages, there were not a few "illiterate" people, and spoken language became popular, but writing did not necessarily become popular.

Even in the modern age where Roland lives, there are many "illiterate" people, and long-form writing is still not a skill that ordinary people can master.

This way of expression is not available in oracle bone inscriptions, because the writing system at that time was not so perfect, and the language and written expression ability of the primitive ancestors were not so powerful, and they could not use so many functions.

The sacrificial inscriptions in oracle bone inscriptions are the earliest literature in our country, but the original function of the characters was not to record events, but to divination and sacrifice.

Archmage Watson didn't understand these historical and cultural backgrounds, but only vaguely felt them. Roland "fabricated" the complete development process, showing a complete set of text evolution process.

From scratch, from high-tech to downward popularization...

"What an incredible masterpiece! At this point, the 'Arcane Star' award is also worthy of it!"

This kind of ability to create (transfer) made the highly visionary Master Watson sigh repeatedly and was shocked in his heart.

He said to his disciples: "You study this language carefully, I dare to assert that it must be the mainstream of the future rune school."

"Teacher, how do you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

Gallo was a little dissatisfied, but in front of the always strong teacher, he didn't dare to be too tough, he just expressed it with a bit of grievance.

Master Watson glanced at him and said: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with what we think, because the development of arcane art is objective and inevitable. There are better things, and everyone knows how to choose."

When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked.

Even the teachers admit, is this "better"?
"Teacher, our phonetic alphabet scheme of Oss can also magically change this spell, so as to obtain an effect not inferior to that of Seres.

If our runes and incantations can still surpass Celesian in this respect, then everything is fine, but if we can't, it means that this achievement is simply building a step for others.

For the sake of the school, please don't publish this paper publicly for the time being, at least wait until our phonetic symbols of the Ous alphabet are applied to related spells! "

Gallo couldn't bear the violent remarks of Master Watson, gritted his teeth, and spoke courageously.

"What are you talking about? The paper is here. If you want to cite it, you can refer to it at any time. What does this have to do with whether it is public or not?
The system of Alteraine determines that only by publishing papers publicly can one obtain related arcane achievements, and this achievement also means the benefits of intellectual property rights.

The interior of Alteraine is a whole, and there is no need to build a high wall with schools to prevent arcane communication and the popularization of magic technology! "

"Having said that, we are in competition with the Siris School after all."

"Nonsense, where does the competition come from, Gallo, you are too obsessed with different schools!"

Master Watson managed to understand the meaning of what Gallo said before, his complexion darkened, and he reprimanded him severely.

"The establishment of the school was originally a natural diversion of arcane arts. Someone organized the members of the school and set up an organization to better communicate and share results among arcanists.

These have never been aristocratic or class, and no one has stipulated that arcane art can only be defined by a certain school! "

"But..." Jia Luo was so anxious that he was a little speechless.

"I said, why do you people idle around all day long and don't do business? It turns out that you spend all your time on these fussy things.

If you have time to think about it, you might as well put more effort into the arcane itself! "

Master Watson growled with a bit of annoyance.

"Teacher, we are perfecting the phonetic alphabet scheme of Oss and magic spells..." Gallo argued in a low voice.

"Bullshit plan, this is originally based on the Atlasian language, what's the use of it!
Look at what you all look like now. The new arcane direction has come out. I don’t know how to chase it, and I’m still messing around here all day. Is it impossible to pretend to be slime? "

Seeing that the teacher lost his temper, everyone was obedient and did not dare to breathe too much.

After waiting until he left, Gallo was still dazed and stuck in a daze.

"Am I really wrong? Arcane arts shouldn't have boundaries. If everyone is selfish and blindly hostile, the entire civilization will not develop.

But I am also doing it for the school, for the glory of Autodox...

No, I'm just doing it for vanity, for my own personal gain!

I never dared to admit that I was actually jealous of Roland, and I dared not face the fact that he was younger than me but took away my coveted Morning Star Award?

But arcanists have schools. For the benefit of schools, shouldn't I be hostile to him and his schools?

As the leader of the Autodox School, the teacher spends all day studying the magic of Siris, that's the real nonsense!
Roland also got help from his teacher and classmates, and even the papers published by the teacher can be used by him, which will benefit him in the research progress of "Praying Technique"! "

His heart fell into the entanglement of the battle between heaven and man.

Righteousness, self-interest, country, school of thought, cooperation, barriers...

All kinds of conflicts of reason and interests made him extremely painful.

Jia Luo's expression gradually became ferocious, and a bit of inexplicable resentment floated in his pupils.

"teacher……

I am obviously for the school!

Why would you rather add bricks and tiles to his theory than take a second look at my results and say that they are useless and useless?

I want to prove it to you, and I want to prove it to everyone...

The Autodox rune is the real authentic, the leader of the rune school! "

……

"Important news: Master Watson successfully deconstructed the "Prayer Technique", officially announcing the completion of the complete oracle bone culture of level 9 "Prayer Technique"! "

In early March, inside the Orvisto Mage Tower.

Roland saw the news published in newspapers such as "Arcane Newsletter" and "Arcane Review", and learned about the recent arcane achievements of Archmage Watson, and he couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised.

"It actually made him succeed in the research!

This is only seven or eight months since the last preliminary deconstruction, right? "

After thinking for a while, Roland quickly wrote a congratulatory letter and sent it to Archmage Watson.

At the same time, he also asked the other party about seal characters, and explored the use of such characters to deconstruct the "wish technique" and complete the entire system.

Master Watson was obviously taken aback: "That's exactly what I mean!"

"Oh? Is this what heroes see and agree with?"

Roland did not expect that the research directions of the two overlapped.

But this is not surprising.

Because the reason why he came up with the idea of ​​exploring this field was inspired by some research results of Master Watson.

And Archmage Watson has been trapped here for many years, and suddenly achieved results, and he also got inspiration from the Seres language.

The two can be said to be like-minded and complement each other.

"In my opinion, human beings have always controlled arcane and psionic powers. The former can be said to be various laws in nature, while the latter is the unique soul and spiritual power of intelligent beings, which can be used to distort reality and transcend nature.

Of course, there are overlaps between the two. "Prayer" is such a special spell that involves the essence of both. "

The content of Archmage Watson's email reminded Roland of the two fundamental technologies of human technology, boiling water and throwing stones.

How to boil water more quickly and economically, collect energy and make full use of it, how to transform these energy from mechanical energy into other energy, and how to use this energy to understand and transform nature...

Then hit the enemy with stones, how to be faster and farther, heavier and stronger, able to turn, track, and intercept...

The magic of this world also has a similar fundamental technique, that is, the wish technique.

Wishes can change reality, transform energy, shape shapes, and change nature.

It has always been known for its omnipotent spells, and one of the most classic application scenarios is to simulate the effects of various spells.

Of course, it is too advanced and complicated to learn, and few people can really master it.

A typical example that Roland knew was that the president of the Mages Guild of Rune City, the seventh-rank battle mage Hodolf, wanted to learn "Limited Wishes".

Lunifers and Orvisto, as archmages, also did not master the level 9 "Prayer", and even had a little understanding of the level 7 "Limited Wish".

When Orvisto suggested that Roland choose this spell as a reward, he didn't expect him to master it.

Due to the small number of people who can use it, coupled with the characteristics of danger and high consumption, the research progress is even slower.

This is the dark cloud that has shrouded the building since the Arcane Building was built, and it has never dissipated.

"Frankly speaking, I studied the wish technique to become a legend, and I didn't intend to do more research on this aspect. So if I study the level 10 legendary wish technique in the future, my first wish is 'I hope, I will be promoted to a legend!' !"

During the exchange, Archmage Watson told Roland his plan.

"'I hope, to be promoted to a legend!'?" Roland was amazed. "This way of using it is actually a good idea, but the traditional wish-making must be done within the scope of one's ability, which is really not good. Will you be limited by your own body or magic power?"

Master Watson said: "There is no need to worry too much about this. If I can succeed in my research, it means that my understanding of arcane arts and mastery of magic have met the conditions for promotion to legend. After making a wish, I will definitely be able to succeed. If it can be successful, it means that this spell has not been fully researched, and we need to continue to work hard."

Isn't this going back around?

He was promoted to legend because he used a legendary level 10 wish technique.

And being able to use this spell is because he has been promoted to a legend?
Logic closed loop?

But it is true that, as Master Watson said, this is a good bridge to advancement.

If you find a good entry point, theoretically, it is possible to succeed.

"Maybe I can give it a try, for example, "Limited Wishes", which should allow me to be promoted to a sixth-level mage. "

"If you can cast this spell with mana and know enough about its directional constraints."

The status and status of the two are very different, but they have a common language in terms of using the "wish technique" to improve the mage level.

At the same time, the support of the Seres language for the effect of "words follow" is also maintaining their communication and discussion.

In order to avoid project crashes, repeated research, and unnecessary losses, Archmage Watson took the initiative to express that he is specialized in the transformation of level 9 "Prayer".

As for Roland, he naturally continued to develop the low-level wishing technique.

"Since you have contracted the dream fairy, and you have confidence in your soul, you might as well try to use it in the dream world.

This can lead to special ritual magic, through dream simulation promotion, step by step to achieve their goals in reality. "

At the end of the email, Master Watson gave him a crucial piece of advice.

"This is the same as virtual reality training!"
