Chapter 436 Word Games and Prophecy Dominoes

The frontline battlefield, Yelan Fort.

The quartermaster led Carola and others through the camp and came to a tent.

There were already staff there carrying supplies and setting up several tables on the open space.

Dozens or hundreds of magic wands that are about a foot long are arranged neatly, and under the sunlight, they glow like sparkling magic auras.

Carola's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, getting closer to the wands.

"These are new models that have been successfully developed recently!" When Corolla gently touched the smooth surface of these wands with his fingers, the quartermaster introduced him with a hint of pride in his voice, "They use the latest magic from the Royal Academy. Technology, combined with ergonomics…”

Carola actually didn't understand those so-called technologies very well, but there was one sentence that he understood clearly.

These new products are more powerful and stable than the old models.

A prop casting mode more suitable for the "Domination of Demons" spell.

If you have all kinds of sophisticated methods, it will definitely involve a lot of costs, and when these costs get higher, the cost advantage of summoning and controlling demons will no longer exist.

Aurelio shrugged: "It's economical, isn't it?"

"It seems that the application of "Demon Control" is indeed entering a new stage. "

But what I'm worried about is that if this spell is really useful, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good spell if the mages have no one to control?

Carolla said: "The development potential of this spell is very huge, and it can even spawn a specialized demon control profession. It is natural for it to be taken seriously."

Carolla said: "Then you still..."

Carola's expression changed slightly: "That's an illegal operation!"

There is no big problem with the magic crystal used in the head of the staff, but the resistance to the transmission of magic power in the middle seems to be very high, which often wastes more magic power..."

There are many documents, wands, quills and other miscellaneous items scattered on the nearby table and ground, which are messy and complicated.

Of course, the latter is too dangerous, and it may cause him to become a demon, overriding and dominating in the manner of a high-level demon. "

Is there any way to make the dominance effect permanent?

There is such a thing, which is enough to popularize it.

Corresponding to "Dominating Demons", those summoning spells will also be greatly developed. "

How is it possible to solve them all?
Aurelio, who came with him, didn't say much and just signed and received it happily.

But conversely, it can also be said that if the equipment is not sophisticated enough, low-level mages will suffer a lot.

Aurelio said: "I am considering whether to control some fixed demons as my familiars."

Forget it, your Excellency the Archmage must have foreseen these pros and cons, so it would be better for us not to worry about them so much. "

Wands are commonly used auxiliary tools for low-level mages to cast spells. With the help of these tools, spell casting efficiency and spell casting success rate can be effectively improved.

Aurelio continued to elaborate on his thoughts: "Either use the magic constancy technique to fix it with some artifacts or the like, or transform your own bloodline...

"So, we can finally replace the old guys?
What you may not know is that those previous experimental wands were recycled from nowhere, and the handle and body were all spliced ​​together...

Aurelio said: "That's true, demons never give birth to any loyalty. If they dominate for a long time, variables may arise.

Aurelio was slightly startled: "That's it..."

He had to admit that there were indeed many immature aspects of his ideas.

But as the revision of their respective lesson plans was completed, once the "Reduction Technique" was used, the paper flew away, the debris returned to its place, and it immediately became neat and tidy again.

The quartermaster listened to Corolla's complaints and nodded: "Of course, sir, now that all these problems have been solved, you will be satisfied."

The quartermaster's mouth is a liar.

Carolla said: "What you mean is that in a place where there are no demons, you can forcefully summon demons, control them, and use them as cheap and easy-to-use summons..."

Carolla said: "Then even if you can solve all the problems, what about the devil's pollution of the material world?
The summoned demon may still become a new source of pollution...

Soon after, the two of them were sitting by the fire pit in the camp tent, revising their lesson plans on the small wooden table they could find nearby.

After all, I have to be promoted to intermediate level or above, and then we can talk about improving spells or creating a career.

In that case, it may not be as practical as the necromancy spells used by the necromancers. "

This natural dominance is achieved through self-transformation or spiritual contract.

I'm wondering whether chaotic evil demons can also use similar means to incorporate artifacts into them for control. "

However, general summoning spells are either controlled by a summoning contract, or they are used to intimidate the opponent through blood or mental coercion.

Carolla couldn't help curling her lips when she heard this.

Carolla remembered the suffering she suffered from those experimental wands during her special training, and couldn't help but pour out her bitterness.

In particular, Carolla and others were from academic backgrounds and did not have as much practical experience as the wild mages.

What Aurelio was thinking about at this moment was a question that many mages would naturally raise.

After cleaning the tent, Aurelio said to Carolla privately: "Otherwise, the military would not have been able to come up with a new type of wand for us to use so openly..."

Aurelio said: "Isn't there the former? Many high-level mages have the means to extract the devil's soul and bind it to certain artifacts.

This kind of dominance spell that can convert chaotic units into friendly units is economical in many situations.

……

While the outside world is promoting magic improvements in full swing, in another part of the world of Sinvela, in the Malebar Valley.

Roland held a long staff, and the huge "Antonia's Magic Book" floated in front of him, opening it automatically like a spirit.

Dots of brilliance emerged from it, forming shadows of runes.

The next moment, the spell was recited and the tip of the wand flashed.

The magic power gathered into a fist-thick laser light, which began to shoot outward. In a moment, it was as thick as a human waist, and then transformed into a powerful torrent, roaring and knocking down the oncoming skeleton soldiers.

One after another, the skeleton soldiers made a muffled crackling sound, and as they raised their swords or tried to dodge, they fell over or exploded one after another.

In the smoke and dust, bone fragments scattered in all directions along with the remains of soldiers and armors, and within a short time, most of them were wiped out.

However, the "shock wave" from the tip of Roland's staff did not stop. In the blink of an eye, this arcane torrent continued to move towards the other side of the field.

Following his pointing, this shock wave swept across the entire battlefield, like a high-pressure water flow, washing away several huge monsters with human bodies and snake tails and falling backwards, until the last giant basilisk also lost its fighting power.

Its body was washed away by the high-pressure magic power with terrible honeycomb-shaped holes, and almost half of its flesh and blood was eroded. It was weak and limp on the spot, and fell down with a plop.

Roland did not focus on the enemies he had eliminated, but turned his head and looked around: "Finally solved, there are really a lot of insects here!" Professor Anglando said: "Maybe it's because Because of the holes in the outer realm, snake demon monsters have begun to appear.

I hope the murals on the mountain wall have not been damaged. "

After a while, everyone was on guard and dispersed to investigate, and successfully recovered many objects.

"Now it is basically certain that this is where Finedites left traces. For some reason, he lived here temporarily...

Wait, this seems to be something He left behind on purpose! "

Roland found an iron box the size of a human head in an inconspicuous small cave.

There is no complicated mechanism in this iron box, but after opening it, some bone fragments are revealed, which are many mahjong-sized oracle bones carved from animal bones.

"There's another letter in here!"

Professor Orlando discovered something else with his sharp eyes.

"It's not a letter, it's a word puzzle game similar to Sudoku or Idiom Solitaire...

No, it seems to be a palindrome? "

Roland unfolded the paper inside, looked at it, and came to a conclusion.

Because of the special combination of Chinese words and sentences, a relatively unique genre called palindrome poetry was born in our country's classical poetry.

This is a kind of poem that goes back and forth, reading forward and backward into chapters. It is essentially a form of word play.

Looking at its style, there are general palindromes, sentence palindromes, sentence palindromes, text palindromes, loop palindromes, etc., each of which is connected and reused in different ways.

Similar word puzzle games exist, such as Idiom Eliminator.

Combined with some secret marks and mechanism spells of this world, it is possible to create exquisite and complex arcane mechanisms.

With some interest, Roland paired up the dominoes in the iron box and pieced together many sentences similar to poems and songs.

While doing this, he couldn't help but have some inexplicable thoughts.

This feeling seems familiar, as if...

It was as if I was playing a puzzle game with myself in another time and space.

In fact, if Finedites is really a time dragon that can travel through time and space, it is very likely that the Seris language and the form of word games he mastered were also learned from himself.

It is unlikely that this kind of gameplay can be developed with the phonetic characters of the combination of letters. Most of the magical languages ​​​​in the world are based on letters, and spells are based on phonetic notation.

There is no condition for playing this word game.

Sure enough, just as Roland was thinking this, the dominoes in his hand gradually spelled out a line of comments that seemed to be a prophecy but not a prophecy. Even the grammatical habits were exactly the same as his own.

"If you want to find immortality, you can't find it anywhere, so you can only borrow the secrets from the future..."

"What does it mean?"

Professor Orlando also saw what Roland was holding, but he didn't know much about this Chinese syntax and couldn't help but ask.

"nothing."

Roland came back to his senses, and quietly broke up the puzzle piece, and added other words to change it to another meaning.

……

In fact, Roland not only understood the prophecy, but also became more certain and understood the opportunity.

It was indeed because the Siris language he brought had a large enough impact on the magical universe and attracted the attention of gods and divine creatures that he gradually changed his destiny and gained opportunities.

Among them, the goddess of light formed a deep connection with her because she condensed her incarnation and established the new religion.

Legendary succubi may also benefit from certain opportunities in later generations.

They have more or less intervened in the path of their own destiny, and have made contact and guided them at specific nodes.

But the one who is really responsible for leading him on the road to legend is probably the light dragon at this time.

In this world, whether an ordinary life can realize the legend is closely related to "destiny" and "fate".

In a sense, it is a destiny that has been decided since birth and cannot be changed.

But until the cards of this fateful game are truly revealed and the winner is determined, even the gods may not necessarily be able to predict the future of a living being.

This is another level of "unknown".

This statement sounds a bit complicated at first, but in fact, it is very easy to understand in the form of program code.

This is similar to the equipment generation and strengthening mechanism of some games. The moment the server produces a piece of equipment, all its attributes, including the value after strengthening, are determined.

However, these decided things will not be displayed immediately, and they are invisible to the user.

So when will it be visible?

Of course, it will be gradually revealed during the strengthening process.

This will give people the illusion of gradually increasing values ​​and adding new attributes.

The so-called fate is actually like this. It puts the future results in the past, which gives people living in it the illusion of reversed cause and effect.

The moment he truly understood this, Roland immediately understood that he had indeed seen the future now, and that even his future achievements and answers must be found in the future.

If there was some way to reveal his future destiny, he might be able to fulfill his own prophecy and instantly find an opportunity to truly become a legend.

But without becoming a legend, it is impossible to transcend time and see the future.

Even if you practice the "Prayer Technique" to the extreme, it is impossible to do it.

This may have to be revealed to you by some immortal beings who already know the answer.

Phenidites, will it be that immortal existence?
If so……

Was He arranged by his future self?
For the first time, Roland noticed the essence of Finedites beyond existence. Perhaps, Finedites was just a facade...

Behind His appearance and guidance, something more essential is your future self!

When Roland thought of this, he suddenly became thoughtful and once again turned his attention to the things left by Finedites.

The dominoes were closely related to the oracle bone writing and rune language he brought to this world, and the combination of them also gave him a lot of inspiration.

"Perhaps, we can make some improvements like this..."

Roland murmured softly, suddenly having some inexplicable insights.
