The Truth of Magic

Chapter 26: A wise spellcaster

Views:

Looking at the incantations of those zero-level spells floating in his mind, Zhao Xu finally experienced the legendary feeling of a martial arts master who came out of the mountain after ten years of hard training.

He is no longer a fragile ordinary person, but has extraordinary abilities.

Without weapons, a simple "freeze ray" can seriously injure an ordinary civilian with average physique.

Even if it can only be reflected in the game, it doesn't matter, because a year later they will be the most real and incomparable abilities.

Looking at the descriptions of the spells, Zhao Xu was completely like a person with super powers.

He can move anything weighing no more than 4 kilograms with a "mage hand".

A "fatigue touch" can make an opponent who has not failed the save fall into a fatigued state.

A "magic trick" can act as a magic master.

In the category of zero-level spells, technology can still barely reproduce the same phenomenon, unlike the later spells, which are completely beyond the scope of human technology.

But what Zhao Xu has done since then is that he can no longer rely on external objects.

That is to say, put him in the end of the world when resources are scarce. As long as he learns the corresponding spells, he can create his own resources and live well.

Thrown into the deep mountains and old forests, other professions may have to look for food and water sources, but the mage can rely on the real ingredients created by spells to have a delicious meal before moving on.

This is why mages are mythical.

At this moment, Zhao Xu really relaxed and succeeded in copying the book spell. This biggest obstacle that hindered countless mage apprentices had been passed by him, and the remaining first-level spells were no longer a concern.

wrong.

He copied the spell, but where were his spell slots

A level 1 mage rests for 8 hours and can cast 3 level 0 spells and 1 level 1 spell every day.

At the same time, because of his intelligence adjustment value, he also has an additional first-level spell slot. As for the second- and third-level spell slots, he has to wait until he reaches the corresponding level before he can cast them.

It was as if he had finally practiced shooting, but found out that he had no bullets.

"Teacher, where is my spell slot?" Zhao Xu asked quickly, not wanting to make any mistakes.

"What spell slot?"

"My level 1 mage's spell slot."

"Are you a level 1 mage?" Antinoya asked.

Zhao Xu was suffocated immediately. This sentence sounded reasonable. It was the joy he felt after learning the zero-level spell that made him drift away.

"Don't worry, after you complete all the necessary requirements for a level 1 mage and perform another 'triggering ritual', you will be able to obtain the spell slot."

Zhao Xu nodded awkwardly after hearing the words.

Fortunately, even if he does not have a real 16 points of intelligence, the system will still assign him 16 points for things like spell slots.

However, after Zhao Xu calmed down, his thinking became sharp again, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

These days, countless mage apprentices on the forum are stuck on transcribing zero-level spells.

Some players even succeeded in copying one, but were stuck on the second one for a long time, because even he didn't know how he succeeded.

One chance of luck doesn't mean anything. Only by successfully copying nineteen consecutive zero-level spells can it be proved that the other party has really mastered the spell.

This is why Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel proud in his humble heart after breaking the game record and completing all zero-level spells at once.

He's way better than a lot of mage players.

But here comes the problem.

For thousands of years, countless mages have worked tirelessly to study magic, but no one can think of this step

Antinoya's seemingly simple two sentences are actually just like directly pointing out the next step in Go, with the support of profound professional nine-dan skills.

However, taking this move is just one step after all, not a continuous game of chess.

For thousands of years, there will always be blind cats and dead mice, people who take the same step in the same situation.

They may not think of this reason, but it always happens.

How come this method has not been directly popularized until now

Looking at Zhao Xuruo's bright and dark expression, Antinoya walked over gently and said, "Are you wondering why others can't do this?"

Zhao Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that his thoughts had been guessed.

However, if the other party's intelligence value exceeded fifty, he would be suspicious if he didn't expect it.

"So it is really troublesome to teach you players. Through offline comparison, you can know a lot of discordant places. Sometimes you have to work hard to fool them."

"Forget it, let me explain to you. The act of copying spells according to the trend is the privilege of the 'wisdom spell caster'."

When Zhao Xu heard this, four or five guesses suddenly flashed through his mind.

It's not that he's emotionally blown up, it's his 'wisdom heart spellcaster' that's blown away.

Antinoya saw that Zhao Xu had entered the state and continued.

"Actually, novice mages who have been studying for several years will definitely be familiar with zero-level spells. So you players will be stuck on the utilitarian quick route."

"The 'intelligent spell caster' is able to copy spells without actually mastering them. Many mages only realize this in the later stages when they encounter spells that are difficult for them to understand."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel strange, "Teacher, don't those words you said apply to the copied spell book?"

"If the transcription in the spell book follows the trend, it will be discontinuous due to broken writing. If the trend is broken, how can you continue to copy. But the wise caster will not copy the spell because the spell is copied deep in the closed and self-protective heart. There is a problem of discontinuous trends.”

Zhao Xu suddenly realized that if someone else copied one stroke of the spell book, it would be broken if he copied it again.

Therefore, you must understand the entire spell and then continue it without moving forward.

But what he had just done was to disassemble one part to copy, then disassemble another part to copy, and rely on the ability of the "intelligent heart caster" to continue, so the difficulty is naturally different.

"Then why not promote this ability?" Zhao Xu asked.

No matter how powerful this method is, it can directly produce miracles.

If Arthur is released, as long as he has enough intelligence, he will be able to mass-produce countless mages immediately.

He even promoted this method to players, so that the forces of the earth are not allowed to go to heaven.

"Haha, anyone who uses this method is a mage's gravedigger." Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu's face almost turned pale when he heard this, "It's not that exaggerated."

"If you don't master the spells, you can just copy them. Naturally, you won't have the motivation to study them carefully. The research on magic has naturally stagnated since then, and even if you can cast ninth-level spells, you can't break through the legendary barrier."

"One day, the spell that is no longer understood will disappear."

I see.

Zhao Xu's heart was deeply shocked.

This is a kind of behavior of directly copying the answer. The question is done, but I don’t know why.

If all students rely on copying answers to get into college, naturally a country's scientific research will be in ruins.

Moreover, it is a homework for students to copy the answers, and it is basically a source of money for them to copy the answers.

To be more realistic, this is a risk-free opportunity to cheat on the college entrance examination.

Therefore, this kind of cheating device can only be known to a few people and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

Even if there is a mage who likes to do research, he will not be as powerful as the cheater, causing resources to be squeezed by the other party, and bad money will chase good money.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu felt that his character card was a bit hot to deal with.
