"As for this... I don't know either."
Suddenly, Benjamin became angry and complained with his mind: "Then why are you pretending to be a big shot? You act like you know everything, but after asking a few more questions, you immediately can't answer the questions."
"No, you don't understand." The system was still nagging, and continued, "Through this body, the amount of information I received is very terrifying, most of which cannot be converted through language. What element? Things like magic and magic are just the most one-sided understanding of the world by humans."
“…”
Benjamin didn't know what to say, but he could clearly feel that the system was pretending to be cool and had no intention of answering the question properly.
have no choice.
Regarding its series of explanations of the elemental plane, Benjamin had quite a lot of doubts in his mind. If this world is the source of magic, what about the unknown life that exists here? Moreover, according to the theory of high-dimensional world and low-dimensional world, can the unknown will living in this world be called God
Thinking so, Benjamin felt a shudder.
If that were the case, wouldn't those so-called "higher-dimensional creatures" have been watching him for a long, long time, and maybe they were even angered by him
- He still remembers that when the fourth pope entered the elemental plane, the will here used the elements to give him a "Hello". But after he came into contact with the runes of the pure blue world, the runes sent him a "go away" message.
Therefore, he immediately asked the system:
"But... this world doesn't seem to welcome me very much. If I really piss them off, will they do anything bad?"
"You are thinking too much." The system said in a disdainful tone, "Like, dislike, anger, attack... these are just your human ways of thinking. If you feel that they do not welcome you, that is just a huge amount of information that you have misinterpreted. A shadow, don’t try to use your mind to guess what they might do.”
"...That means they won't mess with me?"
The system was speechless for a moment and said angrily: "This is simply playing harp to a cow."
Benjamin laughed.
The profound and mysterious elemental planes were certainly attractive, but he was still more concerned with practical issues. Besides, didn't the system say that it's impossible to understand the world with human thinking, so he wouldn't force it.
He decided to ask more practical questions.
"I want to know, what is the correct way to use runes?" He asked with his mind, "Don't talk to me about those crazy things, anyway, I can't understand the true form of runes in this world. I just I want to know if there is any way to use them flexibly after they have been misinterpreted by human thinking."
"… have."
Benjamin suddenly became energetic: "What is it?"
"The meaning of runes to the elemental plane is very special. It can be a carrier of consciousness, a language of communication, and it also carries the laws of the plane..." The system talked eloquently, "However, using human beings' narrow-minded Thinking to understand it, it can serve as a key.”
"key?"
"Yes, just like the rune in your consciousness space, it can help humans communicate with the elemental plane and temporarily break the shackles of form. From your point of view, it is the enhancement of magic ability."
"Is there a more universally applicable method?" Benjamin asked immediately, "Should every mage open up a consciousness space to construct runes? Impossible."
"Then we can only turn to spiritual power." The system said, "In fact, the human beings in this world have mutated spiritual power, probably because they have been exposed to radiation from the elemental plane. Therefore, from a certain perspective, Generally speaking, mental power is not an ability that originally belongs to human beings. In the normal world you were in before, there was no such thing as mental power."
Mental strength…
After listening to so many words, Benjamin was still very confused.
There are many studies on mental power, but no theory can fit into the systematic thinking. And, to talk about something more practical, how do they use mental power to construct a rune
Spiritual power has no entity and can only resonate with the spiritual power of elements or other people to complete some key steps in performing magic. Therefore, the existing magic system does not pay special attention to mental power, but elemental affinity is a more important indicator.
"To make a rune, you need a carrier." He said in his heart, "Like what the people in the research team did, they also drew the runes on various materials so that they can be effective. Mental power can be There is no way to become this carrier.”
The system casually said: "Oh, really? That's your problem."
“…”
It's a pity that we are in the elemental plane now, otherwise, Benjamin would have stepped on those funny things under his feet and kicked the system as far as it would go.
Simply...
He was too lazy to deal with the system anymore. Anyway, no matter how reliable it suddenly seems, it will still be disappointing in the end. That being the case, he shouldn't have any hopes for it.
Attention returned to the surrounding light mist, and Benjamin tried to move himself again. Before, for the sake of safety, he made an affinity rune, but now, after enduring rounds of cynicism from the system, he felt calm and decided to just put a destruction rune and see what would happen.
However, just when he was about to do so.
"Oh...it's time."
Along with the system's insulting tone, Benjamin suddenly heard a buzzing sound, as if coming from his soul. The whole world flashed with white light, and then the scene in front of me was completely different.
The colorful light mist disappeared, and the feeling of turning into smoke and floating freely also disappeared, and everything became real. The bright sunlight fell on his face, making him unable to recover for a moment.
Was he... kicked out again
"Dean Benjamin? Dean Benjamin? Are you... what's going on?"
Voices kept calling him, and finally, he shuddered and returned his eyes to the front. This is the real world. In a certain laboratory of the Magic Academy, there seem to be many people around, all staring at him in stunned silence.
At that moment, Benjamin was a little confused.
When he slowly came to his senses, he realized that this was the laboratory of the rune research team. Several old mages whom he had just met before were now surrounding him, as if they had seen a ghost.
Okay... why are you here
Before entering the conscious space, he was obviously lying on the bed. Don't tell him that he suffered from sleepwalking again this time.
"What's wrong? Why am I here?" Therefore, he waved towards the old mages and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this? What did I... do?"
Then, he suddenly glanced at his feet.
etc…
Only then did he realize that the position he was in didn't seem simple. His feet were engraved with all kinds of characters, scattered and arranged in a circle. The blood of the monster flows through the groove below, and it seems to be another rune formation that has never been seen before.
At the same time, some very low voices from the side also reached Benjamin’s ears from afar:
"...How did you summon the dean?"
