Things are being planned by the dark department of the academy, and the plan to liberate the Mages Guild is also being prepared... During this period of time, Benjamin has been staying in the Magic Academy. Apart from occasionally teaching those people the skills of disguise, he is also concentrating on meditation.
He could feel that his strength had reached a level that was beyond the reach of most mages. Perhaps meditation was not that important to him. But... there are people outside, and he doesn't know how many difficulties he will have to face in order to truly overthrow the church.
Therefore, he cannot relax.
Although meditation cannot extend the duration of "Water's Coming", it can increase his water element reserves and mental power. Moreover, from quantitative change to qualitative change, who knows if he continues to meditate, will there be another drastic change in the space of consciousness like before
Thinking this, Benjamin looked at the looming rune star map above, full of expectation.
The space of consciousness is full of infinite possibilities.
After probably meditating for more than half a month, he thought someone from the Foer family would come to the academy and call him out of his solitary state. But what he didn't expect was that the person who called him out was the older mage who was studying runes in the academy.
"Dean Benjamin, I have made some new discoveries."
Outside the door of the dean's office, Benjamin couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the other party's slightly excited tone.
Is it a rune?…
There are only four runes he can use now, and the control is very rough. There is obviously a lot of room for improvement. But after all, he was preoccupied with many things and didn't have much time to think about it, so he had to use these four runes first.
However, he was obviously not the only one in the academy who was interested in runes. Like the old mage in front of me, his magic has reached a bottleneck and he can only seek a breakthrough from runes. Therefore, his enthusiasm for runes is obviously higher than Benjamin's.
During this period of time, he stayed in the academy and even recruited a few powerful old mages from outside to join their research team. After Benjamin learned about it, he also supported their research and invested a lot of money in it.
He just didn't expect that the money invested would pay off so quickly
"What did you find? Are there any new runes?" Benjamin asked immediately.
"That's not true." The old mage shook his head and said, "Currently the runes can only be found from various ruins. With our current research, it is difficult to deduce new runes by ourselves."
Benjamin frowned: "Then what did you find?"
The old mage replied: "We found that these runes seem to be able to be connected into sentences and play a different role than a single rune."
… oh
Benjamin's heart moved.
Is there such an operation
When he practiced the four runes before, it was not that he had never tried using several runes together, but the results he obtained were unsatisfactory—only one rune could be effective at the same time. For example, he cannot use the Destruction Rune to attack while using the Affinity Rune to speed up the gathering of water elements.
At that time, he thought that the rules of runes were like this, but now that he heard what the other party said, could there be a way to make several runes work at the same time
"How to connect them together?" So he asked immediately.
"If runes are to be connected into sentences, they must conform to their grammatical rules." The old mage said slowly, "In order to facilitate research, we now divide the runes into two categories. One category is the original runes, which represent various Of the six runes that are related to elements, the other type is action runes, such as instructions for destruction and defense. If you want the runes to be connected into sentences, you must first have both original runes and action runes."
Benjamin nodded when he heard this and said nothing.
From the old mage's perspective, he seemed to be in a daze, but in fact, Benjamin had entered the consciousness space and started his experiment.
According to this classification, the four runes used by Benjamin are all action runes. As for the origin runes, there were actually three in the consciousness space before, and now they have been merged into a new one. Benjamin didn't know if this would have any impact.
But... he couldn't wait to start trying.
Stretching out his right hand, Benjamin condensed the water element on his fingertips and began to draw in the void. He first drew the triangular character for "water" and then immediately followed it with the character for "destruction."
At the end, the two characters were connected together, like one word, and lit up at the same time.
Benjamin was shocked.
With the gathering of water elements, the same elemental turbulence as before gradually formed. Densely packed ice blades, water bombs... They were raging in the empty darkness, and the whole scene seemed no different from before.
However, Benjamin had a different feeling in his heart.
He... seemed to be mentally connected to this turbulent flow of elements.
Realizing this, Benjamin immediately used his mental power to try to control the out-of-control turbulence in front of him. Suddenly, the elemental turbulence suddenly became concentrated, no longer spontaneously expanding without limit, and no longer throwing ice blades everywhere outside.
Benjamin was pleasantly surprised. Even the system that was hiding far away breathed a sigh of relief and jumped back cautiously.
"You can finally control this thing." It couldn't help complaining, "How many times have I told you, the conscious space is such a precious place, you should not throw things here all day long that you cannot control, it is very dangerous. .”
As soon as it finished speaking, there was a whoosh, and an ice blade flew past its yellow-orange cheek.
"!"
The system was trembling at that time.
Seeing this, Benjamin scratched his head innocently and said, "I'm sorry... This kind of control seems to be relatively limited, so I can't use it very smoothly."
“…”
I don't know whether he was frightened or angry, but the system didn't even say anything, turned around and disappeared again.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
He really didn't mean it. After connecting the runes into short sentences, although he could control the turbulent flow of elements with his mental power, this control was indeed quite limited.
He can turn all the magic coming out of the turbulent flow into ice blades, or he can control the turbulent flow to move slowly, but... this consumes a lot of mental power, and if you are not careful, you may lose control like just now. .
There is really no way to be as arbitrary as his previous water polo skills.
Still, Benjamin felt good. The rune is a powerful weapon. Even if it is only slightly controlled, the effect will increase exponentially. Not to mention, they have just begun to study this method of connecting runes into sentences.
Maybe... they will make more progress in the future.
Benjamin was full of expectations.
