Arcane Linguist

Chapter 380: Promotion to the eighth level, projection of the Book of Wisdom

"Your Excellency Roland, welcome back to Nevis City. The magic materials you need have been prepared. How should they be disposed of?"

"Just put it in the warehouse. I will pick it up myself later."

"Okay, I'll get it done for you within an hour."

A few months later, Roland returned to Nieves City, and staff immediately came to greet him and inquire.

He was preparing to carry out his long-prepared promotion ceremony.

Eighth level dream technique!

This is a prayer spell transformed from a low-level dream spell. Its functions are a breakthrough in history.

The Siris School's research on this spell has been very mature, and other mages have even conducted experiments.

But in recent years, Roland, in addition to governing and taking care of the development of the school, has been busy improving his extraordinary characteristics and studying soul resonance thoroughly.

This is fundamental to me.

The key is to explore it clearly first.

"The most important thing I have done in the past few years is to refine a core similar to the godhead, and my sense of the divine tree and the universe has become stronger.

The beliefs of all living beings and their perception of the Seris language are all reflected in my soul to some extent, becoming a force similar to faith.

This is the prerequisite for the road to becoming a god..."

Roland was walking and thinking silently.

At this moment, he already possesses something that can be called divinity.

If you go to a low-demon world or even a medium-demon world, you can pretend to be a god.

In fact, among high-level spellcasters, there are always people who do this.

Those high-level monsters or devils often dominate other worlds and claim to be gods.

This belongs to the category of false gods or demigods.

……

At Lain Mage Tower, the meditation room where Roland applied.

A huge magic circle is carved on the floor. It looks like a multi-ring concentric circle with a radius of more than ten meters long.

But this is not all of the magic circle, but only the indoor part.

Outside this mage tower, the entire floating city "Nieves City" is connected to the ground with a huge city array, which is like an antenna, amplifying the special fluctuations guided by Roland's spirit.

Many magic runes symbolizing language symbols are scattered throughout the circle, symbolizing sounds, shapes, and meanings, as well as floating imprints of thinking, consciousness, personality, self, etc.

As the spiral formation spreads outward, these things all show patterns similar to nautilus.

Objective reality, epistemology, signifier chain, psychological mapping...

One after another, magic runes related to linguistics, psychology, information theory and other disciplines were embodied, shaped, and emerged above the magic circle.

"The ladder of ascension, the road to leap...

This should be the most suitable promotion path for the Rune School so far.

Its principle, traced back to the essential level, should be similar to the cognition of reading and thinking.

In fact, even in a world without magical power, there is a saying... books are the ladder of human progress! "

"Books are the ladder of human progress?"

Atali repeated his words, somewhat unclear about his meaning.

"I seem to have heard similar statements."

“The essence of this sentence actually means that words are the carrier of experience and wisdom, and words carry the Tao.

In the magical world, there are many beings with extraordinary bloodlines, so this sentence is not taken seriously.

But in fact, reading more and thinking more are the foundation of the arcane world. Most arcane achievements and magical traits are inherited through magical language, not through extraordinary blood. "

Even Atali, the female knight, had to agree with this statement: "Those who rely on extraordinary blood are warlocks, not mages!"

Roland said: "You can understand it this way, every time you read and understand, every time you think and debate, it is a transformation of your own thinking and will.

It can slowly shape people's cognition, character, ideas, thoughts, and consciousness under a subtle influence...

Most soul-related things can be transformed in this way. "

Atali said: "Why do I remember the chip carving technology of magic cards, and the manufacturing of those magic crystals and puppet cores?"

"Haha..." Roland laughed, "Actually, it's almost the same.

If human beings who are born and bred can also be regarded as machines, the transformation of these souls can of course also be called carving.

Having said that, my promotion ritual is to use the carrying capacity of language and words from the perspective of runes to collect many divine and extraordinary elements to replace the mortal part of my soul.

According to the information collected in the past, this kind of thing can enhance divinity to a certain extent, but the side effect is that it will weaken emotions..."

This statement is actually the concept of concentration and purity.

As divinity increases, humanity must weaken.

Roland needs to carefully control the proportions and maintain what he considers to be a relatively perfect state. The higher the purity, the better.

In addition, there are different substitution methods for the same purity.

For example, blindly strengthening the desire part is taking the Slaanesh route.

Roland said: "I am not like those mages who blindly pursue power and take it for granted. Therefore, I have not rashly used such promotion rituals in these years. Instead, I pursue a certain sense of power from the perspective of expanding the capacity and moderate harmony. Perfectly compatible.

This is also thanks to the voluntary practice of several high-level mages before me, which finally allowed me to slowly master these techniques.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the intelligence-conferring spell of Archmage Xia Gensi..."

In the past few years, the Seris School has gradually stepped out of the circle of the Rune School, and has continued to communicate with other schools and powerful people.

This improved and successful promotion ceremony more or less brought together the leaders of hundreds of schools.

Roland checked the magic circle while silently adjusting his condition.

After all the preparations were completed, Atali walked to the outside of the meditation room and waited outside.

……

"The promotion ceremony begins.

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

(I hope to be promoted to the eighth level!)

Along with the roar of dragon roar, the magic formation was activated.

Huge power acted on Roland, transforming his spiritual will and soul essence.

Over the years, Roland's body and magic power have already reached beyond the ninth level.

There is no need to improve this point.

Now Roland is focusing on the transformation of spiritual power and soul characteristics.

In the final analysis, just like the three elements of essence, energy and spirit in the way of cultivation, they must meet the corresponding standards.

The entire ceremony only lasted for more than 10 minutes, and his soul characteristics completed the transformation and quickly reached the critical conditions required for advancement.

Then, he crossed over without any stagnation.

Eighth-level magical creature, done!

At the moment when he reached the eighth level, Roland suddenly felt that there was suddenly an existence in his soul that he could clearly sense.

That feeling is similar to the crystallization of Warcraft. Also like...

Golden elixir?

In fact, this kind of thing should have already existed when he was promoted to the seventh level, but the cultivation systems of the East and the West are completely different, and Roland could not sense it until now.

Humans are not like Warcraft, who can develop inner elixirs or crystallized things in their bodies.

Therefore, this is actually a reflection of the need for mental strength to be strong enough to a certain stage to turn the imaginary into reality.

But when Roland really concentrated his mental power on it, he suddenly discovered that it was not the round and golden inner alchemy, but a book.

A thick prop similar to "Antonia's Magic Book" appeared.

"Soul Arms...Book of Wisdom!"

Roland had already seen a lot and immediately recognized the nature of this kind of thing.

There was a look of surprise on his face: "This is an extraordinary quality of high quality!"

This is the embodiment of spiritual power, the soul weapon between spirit and matter.

Its essence is the same as the godhead. It can be said that anyone who can condense this kind of thing before the legendary realm has the "possibility" to condense the godhead in the future!

The godhead is the crystallization of the soul. Just like mussels need certain gravel to stimulate the secretion of nacre, the formation of the godhead also requires a large amount of divinity to condense.

The essence of divinity is the secretion of soul characteristics, a combination of spirit and thoughts.

When they are strong enough to a certain extent, they will turn into reality and appear in the form of such soul weapons.

Roland stretched his hand forward, and like light and shadow condensing, an illusory projection appeared.

This is somewhat like a prop that condenses elemental power.

Roland tried to touch it with his other hand, only to feel a smoke-like texture.

“Sure enough, it’s just a phantom and has not yet become a reality.

But it stands to reason that I can condense it when I reach the eighth level, and I can definitely turn it into matter when I reach the ninth level!

This is also somewhat like the projection of angels and demons from other realms in the material world. "

Just like Succubus Al, her essence is actually spiritual. When she came to the main material world, her true body was shaped by the rules of heaven and earth, and she took on a material form.

This involves not only the transformation of matter and energy, but also the transformation of time, space and spirit.

Creatures in the outer world are born with such transformation rules, which are the functions of the great avenue of heaven and earth.

But now, my own existence in the material world can also condense such a projection on its own.

Roland immediately thought of many ways to control himself by condensing his spiritual power and combining it with external elements...

"Those high-level monsters, devils and the like, are pretending to be gods and ghosts in the world of medium and low monsters...

This is what those false gods call coming and projecting! "

However, Roland has no interest in those methods of pretending to be magical and has no intention of studying them.

He focused more on the book itself.

As expected, page after page inside were filled with spells and spell models condensed from Siris runes.

"Soul memory!

Every page here is a memory engraved deep in my soul, with its own spell slot effect! "

Roland flipped through the book and was very pleased.

In other words, even if he now lives in another world and loses the support of Atrein's spell system, he can still cast all the spells he masters through this piece of equipment.

High-level mages originally have the ability to "mana cast", but the spells are often lengthy and the prelude to casting is slow, which is not suitable for actual combat.

But through this soul-armed effect with its own spell slots, you can cast spells on your own as if you have the quota support of a mage tower.

This is the spell slot.

This is very close to the essence of the source of magic power, and those high-level monsters are like this.

Although high-level monsters rely on things like magic crystals or inner elixirs, the essence is really not much different, but the form of expression is different.

However, compared to the ability to cast spells, this book of wisdom has another more important function, which is to retrieve one's own spell understanding and magical secrets.

Roland found many runes scattered among them.

Those whose structures are not rigorous and cannot be well integrated into the pages of the book are the supernatural properties that I have not fully understood and mastered.

Roland flipped through it briefly and found that he had relatively perfect control over the "Power Word Series" and "Prayer Series".

There are sets of rune projections embedded in it, each set has its own effect.

Metamagic Feat: Spell Empowerment

Effect: All variable values ​​of the spell are increased by 1/2.

Metamagic Feat: Increased Spell Range

Effect: Doubles the range of close, medium, or long range spells. Spells whose range is not determined by length and spells whose range is not near, medium, or long do not have their range increased.

Metamagic Feat: Spell Delay

Effect: When paired with this feat, the spell lasts twice as long. Spells with concentration, immediate, or permanent duration are not affected by this feat. The delayed spell needs to occupy a spell slot of one level higher than the original one.

(Part of the text refers to the DND setting, and some free words will be added in this chapter)

……

These words are not innate, but are the embodiment of human spiritual thoughts.

Most "things" and "concepts" need to be transformed into words in order to be transformed into something that humans can understand.

Those mysterious and mysterious feelings of "holding a flower and smiling" are relatively abstract concepts and are not conducive to communication.

In most cases, especially in low-demon and non-demon worlds, words and language are relied upon.

Needless to say "in a sense"...

Language and writing are magic in themselves!

As Roland's thoughts flowed, the Book of Wisdom also had corresponding records. This is a manifestation of advanced thinking.

In other words, these superb magical mysteries were analyzed by him using words and language.

"As expected, it is indeed a super high-quality and extraordinary trait. The legendary God of Magic and the God of Wisdom seem to have followed this path...

Rune masters, as well as the vast number of art workers and literary workers who pursue the pursuit of literature to convey the Tao, are all among them. "

Wenyizidao not only has the function of text output, it also has many other features.

Roland tried it immediately.

I saw that he used his spiritual thoughts to condense words in the air, and copied them in his book of wisdom in the form of golden runes.

Immediately, his thoughts became clear and the corresponding words appeared in his mind.

"Eternal memory!"

According to legend, the wisdom of ancient wizards and gods can be passed down and inherited.

One of the most important carriers is the words of magic.

If we can find those treasures that carry "eternal memories", any magic, skill, secret technique in this world...

You can learn it instantly!

Similarly, there are ways to use this extraordinary characteristic to create bloodline memory or the spread of other extraordinary characteristics!
