Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Learning While Copying
The banquet was only when Dagon started learning how to copy Just coming to an end. The so-called epilogue means that there is no steaming food to serve in the kitchen, only drinks (effort) are enough. If you really want to eat, you have to do like the bear lizard, eat some plant roots, eat some weird mushrooms, or eat some warm quesadillas.

The banquet hall was in disarray, with people lying on the ground hu hu sleeping. Some Jiangu clansman are fighting the sleeping man to try to get undefeated. The lords and representatives of the clan council have all left, and they are all satisfied, so this is a perfection's banquet, a banquet to remember.

Tormond and Corona hid two steaks on a skewer for Dagon to bring back to the room, and when Dagon comes back, they serve him hot again. Both of them saw Dagon's chalk message and felt very relieved to know that he was now able to take the initiative to learn.

"There is an old master of Cardo in the library, Dagon will definitely be left to work by him, it is impossible to come back very early." Tormund said while disassembling the prosthesis: "Hurry up and sleep for a while. , don't wait for it. This banquet is exhausting me."

Can you not be tired? As the only weapon Master in Jiangu City, Tormund was toasted by many people, and his compliments made his ears calluses.

"Then go to sleep first, I want to calculate how much money I've earned recently. Myniris is so far away, it's still in the north, and it will snow in winter, so I think I need to prepare something for him. "

"Don't be in a hurry. Dagon is going out as a member of the Neil family, and his things will be ready."

"What about the people in the Neil family?" Do you understand Dagon? Don't worry, I'm not tired anyway, I'll talk about it for a while. You hurry up and sleep!"

Tormund whispering, didn't know what to say, but it soon became clear snoring. Corona went to the toilet in the room and pulled out a small leather pouch behind a loose wall panel with coins clinking inside. More than a dozen gold coins and a lot of Silver Coins, this is the money that husband and wife two people have recently earned.

The salaries of the weapon masters and consultants are quite high, but the arrears have to be paid first, so that's all that's left. In times of financial hardship, former students of Tormund and their neighbors down the street helped a lot. None of us are rich, and the Steelcast couple hurriedly repaid the money when they had it.

"We already have the weapons, but the armor... can't handle it. The lord must have equipped Dagon with armor and clothing with Neal's crest. Well, prepare him some comfortable underwear, and then prepare him some groceries." Corona smiled as she counted the money. "Hey, I've got a great idea! Tormund, how about we get him a pot?"

"Huh... gu lu lu lu..."

"I Just knew you'd agree." Corona counted the money, cautiously hiding it again.

In the basement of the Lord's Mansion, Dagon is learning how to copy books. It never occurred to him that there were many tricks to copying the work, and following a certain method would indeed save a lot of time.

For example, the overall overall planning, there are university questions. Take "Turn gas into stone" as an example. This is a book explaining the cultivation method. The main content is towards research and exploration. The final step books vary widely in how they are presented. The book involves a lot of calculations, there are a lot of drawings, and there are many annotations and corrections, so it is not suitable for copying as it is. Therefore, the 1st Step of transcribing is to sort out the context of the book, and clarify the relationship between the context, cause and effect, and total score.

"This time is not to restore the ancient book, so the first thing to remember is not to completely copy." Cardo master said: "You write down the content, and write it down in a way that is easy for you to understand, That is success. Therefore, you are not only copying the book, but also taking notes. The content, layout, arrangement order, you can follow your own understanding and habits, not exactly the same."

"Master Cardo, How do I feel that you really want me to win?"

"You can't copy books, and besides, I teach, I can't hold back my old face." Master Cardo shook his head and said, "Come on, I I'll show you how to arrange the order, and you need to learn the method when you remember the result. I will only tell you a small part of the previous part, and you need to do more work yourself."

Master Cardo It starts with a quick read-through, how to extract the most important features of the article, then shorthand tags and reorganization of the table of contents, and finally the estimation and overall arrangement of the copying workload. There are reading skills, core refinements, and some math-related. Dagon heard as if drunk and stupefied, and it felt as if a door had opened in front of him.

When learning martial skills with the father, Tormund was physically disabled and could not be his opponent, so Dagon developed a set of ability to learn and practice by himself after listening to others, and put it in the transcript here. The same thing can come in handy. After the Master Cardo finished speaking, he first redid the finishing work of Master Cardo in the first tenth of the content in "Turn into Stone". During the review, he tried to restore the operation of Master Cardo to see if he would forget it. Knowledge points, will there be deviations in actual operation. If there is a deviation, then where is the problem, there is still not enough proficiency in understanding, which is conducive to summarizing experience.

From learning to learning, from learning to mastering, Dagon has its own rhythm. This set of rhythms gave him a martial skill that surpassed the level of his peers, and more importantly, gave him good study habits and methods. Dagon reviewed it very patiently, and found a lot of details that were overlooked before. He was very focused and finally finished all the details on the seventh pass, exactly like the Cardo master. At this time, Master Cardo had already returned to work in the library, and Dagon didn't know it.

I felt my belly. I was full at the banquet before, but I am not hungry now, so I can continue to work. He found that his appetite was very similar to that of predators. He could eat a lot, absorb it very well, and basically extract nutrients and convert them into body reserves. If it weren't for such a good digestion and absorption ability, he would not be able to develop strength and endurance when he was hungry all the time. Now, I am finally full, and I can even say that I have lasted for a while, just to try how long I can last.

Before meditation, cultivation and staying in the room for too long, I was in good spirits, so I could sleep well; Dagon focused on "Turn Qi into Stone", not only for the knowledge in it, but also to lay a good foundation for future study in Elite Academy. After going there, he has to learn the cultural history of elves, and he has to learn a lot of things in books other than martial skills. The key points extraction and overall planning in the transcription can be of great help.

While reading quickly and thinking about the contents of the book, the author of "Turn Air into Stone" shares some of his ideas for speeding up the cycle of mana. Based on his own cultivation experience, he started from the most basic single-element mana cycle, and listed in detail the changing trend of the cycle speed of several elements in different environments, trying to summarize the rules. He believes that the best way to circulate is that the five natural elements promote each other in sequence, that is, aquatic wood, wood creates fire, and fire creates earth. If you can find the static balance in it, you can continue to accelerate until you reach the limit of the surrounding natural elements.

Some of the methods in it are still in use today and are commonly used, such as the cultivation trick that Dagon also knows to use Fire Element stimulate Earth Element to grow. A set of methods is given in the book, which can greatly improve this catalytic effect. But Dagon took a closer look and felt that the numbers given in the book were too large, and it was simply not so good in reality.

"Hmm... now I feel a little unreliable, other theories seem more exaggerated." Dagon scratched his head, somewhat understanding why this book was shelved and no one cared about it. "Forget it, the original goal was to learn from it, to see where the predecessors have carried out research, which can inspire ideas. Even if the predecessors were wrong, it is a gain to be able to recognize where the mistake is. Even if you take a step back and talk about it. , it's definitely not a loss if you finish copying this book first, and you won the bet and learned a new method."

Dagon began to copy, in his own way. In the original book, pictures and calculation methods were mixed with notes and notes, and Dagon rearranged them according to the method taught by Cardo. He does not pursue the same page number, even if it is doubled or doubled, it does not matter, as long as it is clear and easy to read. Some drawings, which can be made into small labels and pinned to the parchment, are better than in the past.

The actual work started like this, and Dagon also had some new ideas, methods that the Cardo master didn't teach. He felt that putting everything in one book would be better than dividing it into two. One to record thoughts, one to record operations. In this way, when transcribing, the workload of page arrangement is reduced a lot, and it is enough to write a sentence "see chart XX page".

While focusing on transcription, Dagon noticed a phenomenon: in this book there are some rune strokes that do not exist in the Jiangu script. The Jiangu language is like a knife and an axe. It does not include such things as circles, continuous horizontal strokes, and first up and then down turns. In the book "Turn Qi into Stone" written by the predecessors of the Jiangu tribe, these exist in small amounts. . After asking Cardo and making the analogy myself, the strokes are likely from Elvish, or some other script that Dagon doesn't know about yet.

In other words, rune incantation is the invention of Jiangu clansman, but it may also draw on the writings of other races and civilizations, and the purpose is likely to try to deepen the overallness and comprehensiveness of the depiction of natural forces . Some of the research in "Breathing Breath to Stone" was before the "rune Breathing Technique", because the strokes of these other races were all discarded in the rune period, and only the essence that was most suitable for Jiangu clansman was retained.

This trade-off is beneficial for Jiangu clansman to combine his own characteristic cultivation mana, but in "Turn gas into stone", the researcher's goal is to make the mana cycle faster, and what needs to be accommodated is that the elements are in their natural state If the feature is below, then the importance of taking care of Jiangu clansman should be adjusted backwards. Dagon thought about it, and so did the author of Turning Gas into Stone, but in this book, he doesn't seem to be able to fulfill that vision.

The book records 80 ideas and more than 300 experiments with them, some detailed, some abbreviated, but the final result is failure. The spontaneous acceleration cycle of the five elements can start but cannot be maintained, as if some force is always holding back. The closest experiment to success is a spiral elemental composition. There are already prototypes of array and ceremony, but the most basic elemental power is still running inside. The author tries to turn the five elements into an eternal grinding wheel, while absorbing the external elements, while pushing himself to purify, turning the elements into mana. But this mill can only run for a short time, then it will be interrupted when the user's mana is depleted. Yes, from the user's point of view, it still cannot produce net output and is a money-losing model.

The final conclusion of the entire book is simple: this road does not work. Because there are a lot of experiments, future generations can't come up with a better plan, so it becomes a consensus that it doesn't work. While transcribing and studying, Dagon was unconvinced and felt that something was not quite right.
