Chapter 98 Invariant Law Equivalent Exchange
"Any living body can use magic when its mental power exceeds its limit. However, the fundamental principle of magic is not to create something out of nothing by delusions in the mind, but rather a directed equivalent exchange."

"Isn't it such an idealistic concept? It sounds like modern alchemy."

"Of course! People discovered from the beginning that their will can be used to change reality in a certain way, but their first thought was not to explore why this phenomenon occurred, but to reduce the cost of casting spells to zero. ."

Keira opened the book. Lauren couldn't understand any of the words written on it, but he could feel that there was definitely a lot of magic-related knowledge in the book.

"People could not reduce the consumption of magic. When they removed all spell-casting media, gave up all spells, and even isolated the magical energy they could observe, they could still use magic. At that time, people thought This is what gods can do.”

"Is it time to say no?"

"But these magicians who tried to enter the divine realm quickly ran out of life. It was not until much later that people finally determined that magic is not the creation of divine power out of nothing, but the process of replacing something with something else."

This statement makes sense, but these histories will not be discussed in the current magic crash course. After all, magic is just a tool and skill that ordinary people use in life, and is not an ability worth boasting about.

"Well, for example? If Luo Lun wanted to create a flame, what method would he choose?"

"Ignite combustibles, right? Use chemical reactions to produce combustion."

"Yes, in fact, this process can also be classified as magic. It's just that such equivalent exchange is so common that people no longer regard it as a mysterious phenomenon."

The common material rules of the multidimensional world can also be included in the framework of magic. This view is indeed rare.It would be better to say that he is the sixth most talented magician in the academy. I am afraid that Keira has put as much effort into magic research as those famous magicians in the multi-dimensional world.

"It's just that magicians use their own will to create magic, and materials have always existed in the world, the dark matter that supports the existence of visible matter, or the unobserved concept called 'ether'."

"...I'm sorry I can't understand this anymore."

"Ah, I'm sorry, to put it simply, human beings use their own mental power, that is, life force, to observe things without characteristics, and use their own will to change their way of existence." Keira's statement is still difficult to understand. "To put it more simply, it is the process in which characters in the game use HP to release certain skills."

So this girl is the type who likes video games?No, it turns out that using magic consumes human life force?

"However, under normal circumstances, although the mental power used to release magic is converted from the life of the caster, it can be replaced by consuming various media, so magicians will not lose their life due to releasing magic... Of course there are still of."

If you want to create a certain phenomenon, you have to pay an equal price. This is the basic rule of magic.Lauren suddenly thought of the mist in his body. Can these things also be interpreted using the concept of magic?Do they pay some price for repairing their bodies?

What price did you pay for them?

"After establishing this system, magicians began to study the rules of various magics. However... until now, there are still some taboos that cannot be broken."

"Can't all the magicians in the world solve it?"

"Yes, the first is to release magic at an unequal cost. This theory has been studied by people for a long time, but after so many epochs, there have been no successful examples."

This is easy to understand. After all, people have been trying to do things like small and large since the birth of primitive world civilization. However, those who do this always pay more than they get.Even if someone feels that he has taken advantage for a while, he will still suffer more losses in the end.The same goes for anything, let alone magic.

"The second thing is...life."

"You mean resurrection?"

"Yes, no one can determine the cost of resurrecting a dead life form. Even if people now know that the soul after death will fly to the void and enter reincarnation, they also know how to pause the passage of time. But still no one can resurrect any dead life, not even at the cost of the life of another similar individual."

Therefore, the Space and Time Administration developed soul solidification and body reconstruction technology, while the former genius Yolong was exploring the reincarnation of the soul.No one can truly avoid death, and no one can reverse death.

"It's so profound." Lauren wanted to raise his hand to pinch his face, but he couldn't bend it too much because his arm was wrapped in a bandage. "But these things are too far related to me. Is there a simpler magic theory?"

"Ah, sorry, I talked too much."

Kayla finally realized that she had been immersed in her own world for too long. She clasped her hands together to apologize to Lauren, then got up and went to the bookshelf on the side to get a book with a hard cover but not very thick cover. of old books.It seems that she is already quite familiar with this library, and may have even memorized where all the books are.

"This is a magic notebook left by a magician from a level 3 magic civilization. Although it may be a little difficult, it should be very suitable for Mr. Luo Lun to get started."

"Level 3. I remember that the level set by Infinite City is only level 2."

After the establishment of Infinite City, the setting was biased towards technology. Overall, it was about the level of a level 4 technological civilization, but it was relatively lagging behind in the application of magic.It's not that the Space-Time Management Bureau is not good at magic, it's just that this is how this world-class city was designed when it was built.

Therefore, what you can see every day in Infinite City are more machines than mystery.

"Exchange of equal value... I don't know how it is possible to violate the rules."

Dean sighed casually, but Lauren's mind was not on them.He has always been thinking about what the mist in his body is, and Keira's explanation today also allowed him to get a little bit of the outline.

These things should not be able to violate this rule, so as long as you know what price they cost you, you should be able to understand their nature.

Where did the life force of the two snakes that was so excessive that it crystallized on the outside come from?
