Chapter 7 Review
After doing these things, Shaoke took a new candle and replaced it, and then leaned against the table to read the book. Of course, the books I read this time were not books like novels in my previous life. Well, at least the novels in this other world are not that interesting. Most of them are love novels such as knights saving the princess, and they are struggling to survive by men. These are quite unattractive to those who have read a large number of novels in their previous life.
Now, what Shaoke is holding is a large theoretical book "The Structure and Structure of Magic and the Possibility of Split". This book and the books in his hut were brought in by a few of them at the Magic Academy, most of the rest were purchased by those merchants after they arrived here, and a small part was copied by two other mages.
The book I am reading now is the work of a legendary mage in the Empire tens of thousands of years ago. Now it has become one of the must-read books for mages. Of course, it is not just a legendary mage who has published his own magic theory and cognition. As long as he reaches the legendary level, even if he does not want to write those magic theory, the empire will ask these strong men to write some of their understanding of magic, such as their understanding of magic, which can improve the level of low-level mages. Most powerful men at the legendary level will agree, and then the empire will copy their books in a large manner so that more mages can read it, and even go to other empires to copy some of their legendary mages.
These books are generally obscure and difficult to understand. The book "Structure, Structure and Possibility of Split" that Shaoke reads now is copied by Dragon Word, which contains the understanding and annotations of the powerful mages of all generations. The theory of tens of thousands of words is originally a theory of tens of thousands of words, and there are hundreds of thousands of comments. It is said that this book is written in a Yanier text that is even older than the ancient magic language. The lines are filled with the legendary wizard's understanding and understanding of magic. It is said that the book was originally collected in the Royal Academy, but now the copy copied by Dragon Word thousands of years ago is popular.
In addition, the Empire will also copy some works of the magic god level and promote them vigorously in order to improve the quality of the mages. Of course, some magicians will also specialize in some works of understanding and understanding of magic. These works are generally not promoted by the Empire, so their spread is very small. However, most mages pursue books written by these magic ranks. The reason is not legends, but the bad Dharma god level is too difficult to understand.
, while the former works are relatively easy to understand. Until now, none of Shaoke's books are works by mages of the magic level, which has to be said to be a pity. Sometimes Shaoke would think: "Why not copy more magic-level works?" Later, I learned that the copying of these magic books consumes a lot of time. For so many mages of the magic level, the Empire did not have enough people to copy, and even legendary works are not copied in large quantities.
When a person concentrates on doing something, time always passes silently and quickly, making people unable to catch their traces. The original text of more than 300 pages of animal skin book is only tens of thousands of words. Shaoke reads it for the most part of the night and only reads more than a dozen pages. The main reason is that there are too many annotations in the original text, and it takes time to read it in combination.
Most of the candles on the silver lampstand were burned. They looked up at the magic timer of the hanging person opposite. Shaoke found that it was almost three o'clock in the morning, so he quickly sorted out the objects on the table and made the bookmarks, and began to meditate. This is a deep-level meditation, mainly to restore the energy consumed, the mind should not be too long at a time, and it is usually kept at three or four magic times, and it is lower than the normal eight magic times of ordinary people. Moreover, most of the mages use these methods to leave more time for themselves to study and study in disguise. However, such meditation cannot be carried out for a long time. After all, it only restores the human spirit and mind, and cannot eliminate physical fatigue caused by activities. Therefore, the mages usually sleep normally once every four or five days apart.
Shaoko's meditation lasted until seven o'clock in the morning. In the north of the foggy forest, the sky was still dark at this time, but the residents here began to get up to prepare a simple breakfast. Then, after dawn around eight o'clock, the town became lively again. Shaoko washed it, baked a cold bread slice in the brazier, and then cooked a small cup of oatmeal to serve as his breakfast.
Although I was busy in the morning, the mage was ready for everything. First, I pulled out my own magic book from the bookshelf and started to recite it. I remembered the spells, spells, handprints, and meditation routes that had been copied on it. Although the low-level mages did not have the chance to copy too many low-level spells and high-level spells in their magic books, and I had already memorized them. However, most mages still took some time every day to remember the spells copied before, commonly used and not commonly used spells, because they knew that if they had the chance to successfully advance to a higher level mage in the future.
After the master, he had no chance to remember the spells that were not used for the past low-level spells, because at that time there were new spells waiting for them to experiment and remember them. After all, no one wanted to lose his life because of a spell from a side in the future. This has not happened in the history of the Blue Feather Empire, and it happened from time to time. This has to be paid attention to by young mages, including Shaoko. Although sometimes he thought: he was a member of the time travel army, he would not be so unlucky, but he did not have the courage to experiment.
Through more than two years of practical experience, Shaoke learned some things taught by the teachers before, and he learned that the battles of mages were not what he had imagined before. It was not about who had the power of spells and who was the winner. Shaoke discovered that fighting was more mental power, and if the magic was not said to be, it would turn defeat into victory. Besides, when fighting against the enemy, especially those powerful enemies, when the warriors in front of you could not protect you, you did not chant those spells and outline those complicated handprints for a long time. If you encounter a monster alone and a mage enemy, the only choice is to quickly release spells before the enemy reaches the body. In this way, among the many low-level spells, you can always find spells suitable for combat under various circumstances.
Shaoke remembers that when he was studying in the academy, the mage mentors often said: "Among the hundreds of zero-level spells, none of them is useless spells, but the caster will not use them or encounter them. I think of the environment where some of these spells are used, but the situation is just for the situation!"
The memory of the spells in the morning is not a difficult task for Shaoke. His spell book has recorded dozens of zero-level spells, but there are only so few first-level spells, seven or eight, and the few seven or eight first-level spells are copied by the other two mages, and there is not a single one at the higher level. This is not to say that Shaoke is lazy to copy; in other words, the transcription of the spells is at least because of the spells, handprints, and meditation routes.
In addition, the copying of spells requires a lot of money. The copying of a zero-level spell requires thirty blue feather gold coins, and the first-level spells require 100 blue feather gold coins. Moreover, spells above the first level, including the first level, are not circulated. If you want to copy, you can only go to the library of the Mage Union and pay for copying in the Empire Library. However, in that case, you still have to charge different gold coins according to the level of the copied spell. Ten blue feather gold coins are collected, and the first-level ones are collected to thirty gold coins, and the second-level ones need to pay for the copying rights of 100 gold coins. As for the higher-level spells Shaoke, you don’t know so much now.
In addition, there is another way to copy it by borrowing other people's magic books, but this feasibility is very low. Unless there is a special relationship, the other party will ask you to copy it. I don't know that the first-level magic in Shaoke's magic books were passed down by those resident mages. Generations of resident mages help each other and work hard in the hope of successfully promoting the mage level.
Another reason is that spells that exceed their own level cannot be successfully copied. The mages can only copy low-level spells with their own level. Shaoke is now a trainee mage, equivalent to a first-level mage, so he can only copy first-level spells and zero-levels. Because the Mist Forest is too desolate, the Mage Union and the Empire Library have not established a subordinate here, and Shaoke is in service and cannot leave his post to copy spells in large cities thousands of miles away.
The memory of spells is actually not simple, especially for advanced spells. Many mages accurately remember a third-level spell. It takes seven or eight days to remember it for the first time, and then they have to be constantly reviewed so that they do not accidentally forget a certain handprint. Moreover, the practice of spells requires a lot of time, so I won’t mention it here.
As the spell level increases, the time spent in memory increases exponentially. Shaoke has complained more than once, why does he have no other time traveler's most basic advantage: super memory. Is it the reason why he has been through it in a daze? But he didn't complain for long, because as his mental power increases, his memory clearly begins to strengthen, so that Shaoke will not be too depressed.
Shaoke lay on the small table, constantly reviewing the casting conditions of those spells. Soon, when time passed, Shaoke decided to stop temporarily and go outside to practice spells. This was the habit he had after successfully releasing the first spell.
