Master Tongtian

Perhaps because he heard Rosen's thoughts, after dinner, the dignified Thrandis appeared again.

She was sitting upright on the back chair, with a serious face, stern eyes, and an unquestionable tone. At first glance, she was a serious magic instructor.

"The first lesson is the basics. You mastered it very well."

"Second lesson today."

"In this lesson, I will explain to you a formal low-level spell. And in the process of explaining the spell, I will let you realize the true meaning of the spell."

‘Okay, it’s full of useful information again! ’

Rosen's spirit was concentrated as never before, and he was ready to enjoy this delicious feast of knowledge.

Thrandis was very satisfied with Rosen's condition, and a smile of approval appeared on his solemn cheeks.

"Don't rush yet."

She handed the three manuscripts to Rosen.

"It records some preliminary knowledge, such as the classification of spells, the meanings of various advanced spell symbols, etc."

"You take it and read it first. When you finish reading it, tell me."

Rosen took the manuscript with both hands and read it carefully.

‘Neutral and polarity, natural and logical, standard and extraordinary, as well as spell stars. Well, they are divided quite finely. ’

‘These symbols turn out to mean this, and I’m so stuck. ’

He watched carefully and committed it to memory.

Even without the assistance of an adventure journal, Rosen's memory is quite good.

I can't have a photographic memory, but after reading it carefully a few times, I can remember it firmly.

Three pages of manuscript were not much, and after about half an hour, he had it firmly in his mind.

He said respectfully: "Teacher, I have finished reading."

Thrandis glanced at him and asked, "What is the difference between natural spells and logical spells?"

"Natural magic uses real objects as the driving core of the magic. Logical magic uses pure logical images as the carrier of mathematics as the driving core."

"Where's the spell star level?"

"Referring to the requirements for multi-line operations, one line equals one star."

"Are the more stars the better?"

"Usually, the star number only represents the complexity of the spell, but high-star spells are often more powerful."

"Where's this mana formula?"

"That's what it means."

"good."

Thrandis stopped investigating.

"Now, I will start from the lowest principle and explain to you the structure of a neutral, logical, three-star spell 'Missile Technique'."

"You have to listen carefully and master it as soon as possible, because I don't want to waste too much time on such a simple spell."

"Yes, mentor."

Rosen was a little excited.

After months of pursuit, and many lives and deaths, I finally got to see the true face of the first formal spell.

Thrandis entered a state of concentrated explanation. As soon as she thought about it, a ball of light emitting silver light appeared in the air around her.

The ball of light is about the size of a date, very bright, with clear boundaries, and has the texture of a solid crystal.

"This is a standard missile. Official mages can purchase the relevant spell books from the Mages Guild, which cost about 20 crowns each."

"It appears silver because it is dyed by my silver moon mana."

Rosen immediately recalled the three missile attacks that Cyrus had unleashed.

It was dark red at first, but after absorbing the ash feathers, it turned gray-white.

As a result, he had an intuitive understanding of neutral magic.

Thrandis continued to explain.

"Imagine there is a small ball with a diameter of one centimeter. The ball is filled with extremely concentrated power. Control the small ball to completely release the inner power at the moment it hits the target."

It's very intuitive and easy to understand.

It was only slightly more complicated than his self-created flying technique, and he couldn't help but feel like it wasn't difficult at all.

Thrandis had been paying attention to the apprentice's expression, and smiled faintly when he saw his appearance.

"Missile is indeed the simplest formal spell, but it is not one that a spell apprentice can despise."

"Just follow the principle I mentioned and try to condense a missile. Remember, just condense it, don't throw it out."

Rosen nodded.

He tried to imagine it in principle.

When thoughts arise, magic power follows.

A perfect sphere with a diameter of one centimeter slowly appeared in the air one meter in front of him.

At first, the sphere was just a slightly twisted mass of air.

Gradually, this twisted air began to shimmer, the light gradually became brighter, and the texture of the small ball gradually became solid.

However, when the brightness and texture reach a certain level, abnormalities appear.

No matter what Rosen imagined, no matter how he activated his mana, the sphere in the air could never achieve the expected effect.

It's like a pool.

He was filling water on one side, but there was an outlet leaking on the other side. The water was flowing in and out, so the pool was never full.

But the principle of missile technique is obviously very simple, how could it fail?

"Okay, don't waste your mana, just give up."

Rosen gave up his imagination, and the light spots in the air dissipated into a heat wave, making a soft pop sound, like a deflated balloon.

"Why?" he asked immediately.

Thrandis smiled slightly.

"Because mana is also an objective entity with its own unique operating rules, and the mage cannot do whatever he wants."

"It's like a big iron ball weighing one thousand kilograms. Of course you can try to lift it, but if you only rely on brute force without the correct method, then trying for a hundred years will be in vain."

Rosen's eyes lit up.

Thrandis raised a finger, and the silver-white ball of light flew over, flying rapidly around her finger and making a whistle-like sound.

"The ball is mana, and the force inside the ball is also mana. What drives the ball to fly is still mana. The essence is the same."

"How to let one part of the mana restrain another part of the mana, and how to let a part of the mana control all the remaining mana. And how to ensure that the various parts of the mana do not interfere with each other. This is the meaning of the existence of the spell structure."

"So this is ah!"

Rosen was fascinated by what he heard.

At this time, when I think back to the original creation of the Mage Musket, it was a complete mistake.

No matter how crazy Thrandis acted and how disregarded the worldly etiquette, at this moment, she was Rosen's most respected magic guide.

Next, Thrandis began to explain the spell structure of 'Missile Technique' to Rosen in detail.

To be honest, her class was not very good.

It's not that she's irresponsible, but she's not very good at expressing herself.

She has difficulty expressing a subtle concept accurately, so she likes to use a lot of obscure words.

Occasionally, I will sink into my own thoughts and be unable to extricate myself, so that I will remain silent for a long time.

Fortunately, Rosen was smart and knowledgeable, and he didn't have the shyness of a young man.

He dared to ask.

Whenever he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will ask to the end to ensure that he understands it correctly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Rosen heard two streams of information flashing through his mind.

'Master the spell: Missile Technique, which has been included in "Rosen's Spell Book". ’

‘Acquire all knowledge of a formal low-level spell, the new program "Spell Virtual Machine" has been activated. ’

The first news was normal, but the second news made Rosen's heart skip a beat. Just as he was about to check, he heard Thrandis's voice in his ears.

"have you understood?"

Rosen looked down at the floor, silent, as if he was thinking, but in fact, he was looking at the table in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Sure enough, there is a new gear-shaped icon on the desktop, called "Spell Virtual Machine", but now is obviously not a good time to check it.

Suppressing the strong curiosity in his heart, he opened "Rosen's Spell Book" again.

There is an extra page in the spell book, and the title is 'Missile Spell'.

Missile (standard neutral logic three-star spell)

Spell Power: 10.1 (Intermediate Elementary)

(Note: Because the spell caster masters quantitative techniques, the power of the spell will also be calculated quantitatively.)

Spell evaluation: The most basic but most practical formal spell, very easy to master, and its power cannot be underestimated. Because of the caster's high mana strength and high polarity, the power of the spell is greatly enhanced.

Maximum casting time: 0.5 seconds.

(Note: This limit is determined by the upper limit of mana flow rate and spell structure, and cannot be optimized by improving spellcasting proficiency.)

Maximum casting distance: 50 meters.

Mana cost: super high.

(Note: The user's current mana can only release up to two missile spells.)

After taking a few quick glances at the spell book, Rosen nodded.

"Teacher, I understand."

Enlightenment flashed through my mind.

'Sellers was at a low level at the beginning. After using three missiles in a row, he still had the energy to cast other spells, but I could only throw two missiles, which shows that he was not at a low level yet. "

At this time, Thrandis's voice came again.

"We've finished talking about the missile technique. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Rosen has accumulated many problems for a long time.

"Teacher, can I try to release a missile now?"

Thrandis refused without hesitation.

"Not now! You must wait until you fully master the three mage hands before you can safely release the missiles."

Three-star spells require the ability to master three-line fine operations.

And without the assistance of the spell book, Rosen's current level is about 2.5 lines, which is indeed a bit worse.

In this case, he didn't force it and asked the second question.

"Why is the diameter of the imaginary small ball one centimeter? Can half a centimeter work? Or ten centimeters?"

Thrandis narrowed his eyes: "Good question."

"The spell can be modified, but it must be done very carefully."

"Because there are countless bones buried under every formal spell."

"If you fail to change it, you will probably become a new skeleton. But when you successfully improve a formal spell, you will have an extraordinary spell that is unique to you."

Speaking of which, it was almost nine o'clock.

Thrandis said: "Okay, that's the end of today's class. Go and rest."

"Teacher, I would also like to ask, to what extent does the concrete image of the sea of ​​consciousness need to be clear enough to be considered a low-level person?"

Thrandis narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."

The answer didn't quite satisfy him, but Thrandis was already yawning.

Rosen was also very curious about the new functions of the desktop, so he bowed, turned and went downstairs.

Approaching the door, Thrandis' words came from behind again.

"Rosen, the most taboo thing in learning magic is to rush for success and make steady progress. You must remember this!"
