A week later.
A strange-looking windmill stood behind Richard's palace. When a gust of wind blew, the turret on the top of the windmill automatically adjusted, making a "squeaking" sound. The main blades installed on it were aligned with the direction of the wind and began to rotate. .
Mechanical energy transfer.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe!"
The rotating blades pass through the gear and crankshaft, driving a magnet rotor below to rotate. A metal coil around the rotor is continuously generating current, which is connected to the bottom of the metal wire.
Mechanical energy becomes electrical energy.
At the bottom, a simple and practical lead-acid battery is fixed, absorbing current and storing it, waiting to be released when used.
Electrical energy is converted into chemical energy.
…
night.
Richard's palace, bedroom.
Richard sat cross-legged on the bed with a fully charged lead-acid battery in front of him.
With his eyes closed tightly, Richard, who was in deep meditation, felt his body vibrating rapidly, and then like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, his consciousness rushed out of his body.
Looking at the physical body with the eyes of his conscious body, Richard tried to use his spiritual power to gain control of his physical body. I had done this many times before, so I was familiar with it, so soon, the body sitting cross-legged on the bed started to move, and my hands slowly lifted up, touching the two external leads of the lead-acid battery.
"Crack!"
The moment the physical hands touch the wire, the physical body itself acts as a conductor and forms a closed circuit with the lead-acid battery. The current flows out of the lead-acid battery and flows rapidly within the human body. The feeling of electric shock spread throughout the body, and passed through the transparent belt on the back of his neck to Richard's conscious body, numb and hot.
The biological current in the body begins to increase significantly, and the cells of the body enter a "highly activated state."
Richard recalled the contents of "The Chapter of Monroe", while recalling, he mobilized his mental strength to concentrate.
When the spiritual power is condensed to the extreme, it becomes a semi-entity, small in size, like a particle of dust. Control this mental dust to float towards the center of your heart, fix it, and then condense another mental dust to stick together.
This process, similar to that of swallows building nests, is a time-consuming process.
According to the "Chapter of Monroe", "opening up the source of magic" is crucial for wizards, and it often takes dozens of days or even months.
The longer it takes and the larger the magic source is constructed, the more mana (energy) is stored, allowing a greater number of spells to be released.
Of course, since the source of law can be constructed, it can also be transformed. Many wizards only open up a small magic source at the beginning. Later, they feel that it cannot meet their own needs, so they then transform and expand the size of the magic source.
However, the process of transforming the source of magic is not much easier than opening up a new source of magic. Therefore, wizards who do not want to transform the source of magic will continue to open up new sources of magic as their strength increases. It is said that the most powerful wizard has more than ten magic sources, and his magic power is almost never exhausted.
Of course, with more than ten magic sources, how to perfectly utilize the magic power in each magic source without causing it to conflict is also a big problem. However, for wizards and wizard apprentices who have not yet started, it is obviously a bit early to consider this.
While thinking about it, Richard continued to gather spiritual dust and slowly built his first source of magic. As a result, after working all night, it was only an area less than the size of a fingernail, which was far from a complete Dharma source.
However, Richard was not in a hurry, and continued to build his patience for a long time.
So as time passed day by day, the source of the law took shape little by little, and finally formed a standard diamond shape in the middle of Richard's chest.
Then, what Richard had to face was the third life reshaping of becoming a wizard - energy smelting.
According to the explanation in "The Chapter of Monroe", the function of energy smelting is to transform the energy absorbed by astral projection into the purest standard energy, that is, mana.
Simply put, because the stars are different, the energy projected by the stars is mixed and of different types. Even if this energy is stored in the magic source, it is difficult to call it. They can only be "smelted" and turned into unified magic power, which can be used to release spells.
In order to carry out the third life reshaping of "energy smelting", the body must be in a "high energy state".
Regarding this "high-energy state", in the process of opening up the source of the law, Richard also made many guesses, among which he felt that the most likely one was the "magnetic field".
"The Chapter of Monroe" describes: The second life reshaping and the third life reshaping both have energy covering the whole body, which has certain similarities, but they are not exactly the same.
Considering the relationship between electricity and magnetism, this third reshaping of life can basically be determined.
Once it's determined, it's easy to solve. It's simpler than the first life reshaping and the second life reshaping. Because of electromagnetic induction, electromagnetism is indistinguishable - magnetism can generate electricity, and electricity can also generate magnetism.
A metal coil is arranged around the bed in the bedroom. When the current in the lead-acid battery flows along the coil, a magnetic field is naturally formed.
Richard, who was in it, clearly felt that the energy stored in the mana source was being refined bit by bit, and finally turned into mana.
So far, the three obstacles to becoming a wizard, the so-called three life reshapings, have all been solved through scientific methods. The door where the spell was released suddenly opened.
…
A month and a half later.
late at night.
The entire Blue Lion City has gone to sleep, and the palace is also quiet.
Richard's palace, bedroom.
Tonight, Richard did not meditate, but stood in front of the window, not knowing what to think.
After a while, he turned his head and his eyes fell on the "Chapter of Monroe" lying on the bed. He was turning to a certain page, which recorded a zero-level spell.
Zero-ring spell.
According to the records in "The Chapter of Monroe", spells can be divided into zero-level spells, one-level spells, two-level spells, three-level spells, etc., corresponding to different wizard levels.
Among them, the wizard apprentice can release zero-level spells, and occasionally can release less powerful one-level spells.
A first-level wizard releases first-level spells, and in an explosive state, can release some second-level spells.
A second-level wizard usually releases second-level spells, but when desperate, he can also release some third-level spells.
So on and so forth.
Each level of spell is divided into three small levels: low-level, intermediate-level, and high-level.
Obviously, the higher the level of a spell, the more powerful and difficult it is. In fact, the power of the first-level spells alone is terrifying. The most powerful first-level spells, the high-level first-level spells, are as powerful as missiles on modern earth.
Zero-ring spells are the lowest level among spells. Most of them have no destructive power and can only play some indirect roles, such as lighting, opening doors, repelling enemies, warning wild beasts, etc.
The weakest among zero-level spells, low-level zero-level spells, are often called tricks by wizards.
The spell that Richard was looking at at this time, even if it was such a trick, was called - Phosphorus Candle!
"Coret... Er... Plath... Turk... Enize..."
An obscure spell came out of his mouth, and Richard slowly stretched out a hand.
The next moment, the source of magic in the body shook, and magic power surged out, running along the blood vessels at high speed, and undergoing certain changes during the operation.
When the operation reaches a certain speed, the mana becomes active, like boiling water. When it passes through the blood vessels, there is an obvious burning feeling.
Richard's palm shook, and the active mana followed the radial artery, entered the palmar vein, reached the fingertips, and then rushed out.
The five fingers of Richard's right hand shook violently, and five blue flames appeared with a pop, burning quietly.
The five fingers were pressed together toward the middle, and the five flames merged into one flame, which burned even more fiercely and illuminated the entire bedroom. In the forest blue light, the atmosphere of the whole house became gloomy, and the sultry summer night became a bit colder, as if the air suddenly dropped several degrees.
"Phosphorus candle, does phosphorus burn? So the color of the flame is blue?" Richard said to himself, holding the flame and walking to the window, looking outside, there was no one.
With a throw of his hand, the flame was thrown out of his hand and flew into the air. Then the size quickly expanded, from the original size of a fist to the size of a washbasin, and then the size of a bathtub.
The flames with a diameter of more than half a meter turned the ground in front of the palace into a faint blue, which was extremely strange. Just when it was about to continue to expand, it went out with a "pop", as if it had never existed, and disappeared without a trace. Without a trace.
Edward, the guard captain who was standing guard at the palace gate, suddenly raised his head and his eyes flashed. It felt like I had just seen something extraordinary out of the corner of my eye, but when I looked around, there was nothing.
"Did you read it wrong?" Edward shook his head, lowered his head and returned to the palm-sized book in his hand, reviewing the "knowledge" he had learned.
"Countess Elizabeth smiled charmingly, put her white and tender right hand on her lover's shoulder, and slowly touched her lover's lower body with the other hand, inch by inch... Suddenly the lover's body started to move violently... Gudong... "
…
In the bedroom, Richard felt a special energy wave dissipate outside the window. He looked at his hands without any burn marks, his eyes brightened: "Spells, real spells? Is this pseudoscience that cannot be explained by science, or is it modern science?" Is there any hidden science that has not been explored on earth? But no matter what, in this world, the legend of wizards seems to be true. In this case, I want to find out the truth of this world and how I came to this world. Interesting .”
He closed his eyes as if savoring something. After a while, he opened his eyes. Richard nodded and said seriously: "Well, it's really interesting."
