"You... you... do you want to learn my magic?"
What did Ciri hear? A demon who believes in chaos and darkness wants to learn the magic possessed by the god of order.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Joshua didn't know why Ciri was so surprised, even though the lady magician had been in a state of panic and anxiety since just now.
"Not really."
Except for the gods of a few factions, many magicians in the world believe in gods with more than one figure, so as to make the magic they learn more diverse.
The firmness of belief has nothing to do with one's own strength. What the gods give is only the seed of magic power. If you want to take root and sprout, it all depends on the magician's own learning.
Therefore, most people in the world only regard "gods" as a tool for learning magic, not real worship, and Ciri also belongs to this category.
If there is anything that magicians really worship, it must be something called "knowledge".
Ciri took out a wooden statue from her robe pocket and placed it on the ground, her fingertips flashing pale white.
After stroking her fingers on the ground a few times, with the wooden statue at the center, a magic circle composed of pale white light spun around the wooden statue.
"Just touch the wood carving with your hand."
In Ciri's world, everyone will experience this ritual at the age of six. Regardless of their talent, seeds of different magical properties will be planted in their bodies.
This is also a necessary procedure to survive in the human world, just like an ID card on earth, only with an ID card can you become a citizen.
It was also the first time for Ciri to preside over this kind of ceremony. She is a super rookie who has not even obtained a second-level magic certificate. Even if she presides over this kind of ceremony, the object of the ceremony is still a demon!
If the god of order really exists, I hope that the punishment will not fall on her.
This was Ciri's first prayer since she believed in the God of Order.
"like this?"
Joshua didn't feel the danger in the magic circle drawn by Ciri, and the magic power filled in the magic circle was pitiful, just like the illumination technique just now.
So Joshua touched the wooden statue with his hand as Ciri said.
Pale white light began to gather at Joshua's fingertips, and then poured into Joshua's body along the wooden statue.
The brilliance became more and more, and the whole room was filled with this kind of shimmering particles. When all of them poured into Qiao Xiu's body, Qiao Xiu found that there was something more in his field of vision.
There are hundreds of complex text symbols that Qiao Xiu can see as soon as he opens his eyes. The text symbols do not belong to any language system that Qiao Xiu knows, but Qiao Xiu understands the meaning of these words.
The first literal symbol represents 1, the second is 0, and the meanings of A and B.
"These symbols that appear in my eyes are... inscriptions?"
Qiao Xiu waved his hand and found that these symbols disappeared in the air, and when he thought about it, they appeared in front of Qiao Xiu again.
These symbols Joshua had seen before, and a large number of symbols of the same style were engraved in the invention of the Third Prince. These inscriptions replaced the mechanical gears to support the operation of those magic-driven machines.
"Inscription, inscription of order."
It worked... Ciri did not expect a demon to successfully receive the seed of magic power.
This gave Ciri a sigh of relief, but at the same time there was a small sense of accomplishment.
She is the first person in the world to let the devil accept the magic of order! This kind of achievement... even her rich older sister couldn't do it.
"How many inscriptions can you see? Two are passing, three are excellent, and four are geniuses."
Ciri said what her first magic teacher, the one who once helped Ciri awaken her magic power, said.
You must know that she was a super genius who could see five inscriptions just after awakening!
"number?"
Qiao Xiu once again opened his eyes and glanced at a large number of dense symbols in front of him, roughly estimated to be more than 200.
"More than two hundred." Joshua said.
"what?!"
Ciri, who managed to use the two emotions of complacency and pride to dilute her fear, fell into a sluggishness when she heard Joshua's answer.
There are two criteria for measuring the strength of a magician. The first is the amount of magic power contained in the body, and the second is the number of inscriptions it has.
Inscriptions are the most basic elements for constructing magic. If you want to use a powerful magic, you need a lot of magic support, and at the same time, you need to sing hundreds or even thousands of inscriptions.
The acquisition of the inscription depends on the magician's own understanding of the world, which is the so-called "knowledge"!
Now Ciri has only mastered more than 20 magical inscriptions, which was only awakened by her traveling around in five or six years, but what happened to this demon in front of her
More than two hundred? !
If he doesn't lie, this guy has more knowledge than even the archmages in the Nolan Council of Seven!
"This is… "
Ciri, who had suffered a strong impact on the three views of life, had forgotten that he was in danger of being "kidnapped by the devil", and focused on the series of inscriptions that appeared in front of Joshua.
Among them, there are several inscriptions that Ciri knows, meaning "air", and she just constructed a magic called "Shock Technique" through this inscription.
"The Periodic Table of the Elements," Joshua said.
"Yuan... what?"
"nothing."
With a wave of Qiao Xiu, the pale white words in front of him disappeared.
This is just a part of the periodic table of elements composed by Qiao Xiu from more than 200 inscriptions. The inscriptions are like the pinyin of Chinese characters. Different combinations and arrangements can form different meanings.
And from the experiment just now, Qiao Xiu determined that these inscriptions can be set so that only oneself can see them, and if they want, they can also be seen by others.
But compared to using these things to construct magic, Qiao Xiu found that the essence of the inscription was surprisingly similar to a thing he was familiar with.
That is... computer languages.
Or which advanced version of C language with language library!
Thinking of this, Joshua, who is a game designer and a part-time programmer on Earth, has a bold idea.
It seems that Qiao Xiu can use these inscriptions to compile a system! Anyway, Qiao Xiu's memory is so good right now, and Qiao Xiu also worked at Microsoft for a while.
After crossing, it doesn't matter if there is no system to be the golden finger! Qiao Xiu can make one by himself, regardless of WIN98 or WINXP system, Qiao Xiu will knock it!
Although it will take a long time, Qiao Xiu thinks that there is no problem in knocking out a simplified version.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xiu suddenly realized that the magic of this world is such an interesting thing.
"Ciri, are you happy to learn magic?"
This new discovery led Joshua to ask such a question.
"… "
Happy, very happy, Ciri will definitely answer this before meeting Qiao Xiu, after all, she has no talent for learning magic, but...
Ciri looked at the series of magic inscriptions in front of Qiao Xiu that she had never seen before, and instantly had the urge to "learn some magic, let's pack up and go home and get married!".
But this premise is that Joshua is willing to let her go.
