Chapter 102 Simple and Easy-to-Understand Arcane Magic (Part 1)
Rex was a vigorous and decisive person. That afternoon, he took Fangzheng and Nymph out of the temple, and then came to a slightly dilapidated mage tower through the mage's teleportation array.
"From today on, the two of you will live here."
Although the room in front of me looked a bit shabby, it was at least clean. And Rex obviously didn't care about these "little things". He clapped his hands in satisfaction, and then directly took out a book that was almost as thick as Cihai from his side and threw it in front of Fangzheng.
"You read this first, and start practicing after reading it. How much you can learn depends on your own good fortune. If you don't understand, come to me upstairs. But remember, if there is a sign on my door, don't come in. Otherwise, if you are beaten into coke, you deserve your own bad luck and nobody cares!"
After saying this, Rex turned and left, leaving Fangzheng and Nimfu alone.
"It seems that mages are really as difficult to deal with as rumored."
Fang Zheng picked up the heavy "Ci Hai" and glanced out the window at the same time. At this moment, the outside of the window is no longer the prosperous scene of the previous capital city of the Northland. On the contrary, if you look around, there are forests, seas and snowfields everywhere. You don’t need to ask, this mage’s tower must be built in a deserted place... Anyway, mages are all this way.
"Really, that guy, dare to be rude to the master!"
Nimfu is obviously not as calm as Fangzheng. If Fangzheng told her not to speak just now, the little angel would have jumped up and started fighting with Rex.
"It's just a mere worm..."
"Well, it's really not a big deal."
Picking up "Ci Hai", Fangzheng flipped through it casually, and then sat down on a chair next to it. Rex made it very clear that there is only one month, if he cannot be recognized by Rex within this month, then he will have no way to enter the White Tower, which means that he has to return to the Holy Church... ...Fang Zheng was unwilling. Although he didn't say it clearly, both parties already knew that he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Holy Church, so it was just a matter of showing it. If I go back, do I still want my face?
For the sake of face, he can't let go of this opportunity!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately began to carefully read the "Ci Hai" in front of him, while Nimfu looked at Fang Zheng, thought for a while, and then sat on another chair not far behind him, just staring at the man.
Although Rex was not forgiving, he was obviously good at teaching. After reading the preface briefly, Fang Zheng found that this book was almost a "Guide to Getting Started with Magic".
And according to the content written in this book, Fangzheng finally understood how the mage uses the power of the soul to fight.
Unlike melee professions such as knights who directly attach soul power to weapons or use it to attack, the greatest use of mage's soul power is to condense magic runes. According to the "Guide to Getting Started with Magic", there are 69 magic runes in the world, and the nature of these magic runes is somewhat similar to the "Periodic Table of Elements". Each rune has different attributes and meanings, and The process of wizards releasing spells is actually the process of them using their soul power to condense magic runes, combine them into spells, and then release them.
In Fangzheng's view, this is a bit like a combination of Xiaoxiaole and spelling. If magic runes are compared to squares of different colors, what the mage does is to arrange them into a combination of the same attributes , and then disappear in one go.
As we all know, the more blocks you eliminate in one go, the higher the score you get.
In the same way, the more magic runes the mage resonates with, the more powerful the magic will be.
However, this does not mean that you can freely type as much as you want like typing codes. On the contrary, if you use the power of the soul to directly condense magic runes, the duration of each rune is quite limited, almost Only a few seconds. And this also means that the mage must construct the magic spell with the fastest speed and the smoothest posture and method in these few seconds. Otherwise, the entire spell basic model will collapse and the power will flow backward after a long time. Either the spell will simply fail and be unusable at all.
So Fangzheng finally understood why Charles cast spells so fast when he was fighting with him... But yes, if the mage cast a spell so slowly, he would have been killed by someone.
In addition, there are also the characteristics of spells, the characteristics of spell factions... All in all, as a popular book on magic, this book is quite qualified.
So Fangzheng devoted himself to learning magic without hesitation.
Fortunately, with the help of the reorganized body of the Zerg, Fang Zheng was full of energy, even if he stayed up for three days and three nights, he would not feel tired at all. Not to mention that there is Nimf by his side. According to Nimf, their artificial angels have their own source of power, and they don't need rest and sleep either.
Although this "Introduction to Magic" was really complicated, Fangzheng spent two days reading it thoroughly, and then he came to the space where Rex was located at the top of the tower again, and knocked on the door. Soon, Rex's voice came from inside.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
"Excuse me."
While speaking, Fangzheng pushed open the door and walked into the room, only to see Rex sitting on the chair with a big sword, staring at the boiling flask in front of him. Seeing Fangzheng walking in, Rex glanced at him and said indifferently.
"What, you find it troublesome and don't want to learn anymore? Just leave if you don't want to learn. There is no extra time for you to waste here. I can just talk to that old man when I turn around."
"That's right, Mr. Rex..."
Hearing Rex's words, Fangzheng rolled his eyes, and then took out the book Rex gave him earlier.
"I have almost mastered all the contents of this book, I would like to ask what should I do next..."
"What?"
But before Fangzheng finished speaking, Rex looked over with a mocking and surprised expression.
"Have you mastered it? I said boy, do you think this is just a book, and you just need to memorize the contents? This is not the shit that is used to brainwash people in the temple. You have to know, The mage is..."
But Rex stopped before finishing his words. He stared blankly at Fang Zheng in front of him—to be exact, it was the ball of light floating in Fang Zheng's hand.
This is a zero-level spell, light. For Rex, this spell is nothing unusual, in fact, any apprentice mage can master this spell. But the problem is... Fang Zheng is the one casting this spell right now! And it's only been less than three days since he started learning magic! !
"A light technique? It seems that you are working hard...but..."
However, before Rex finished speaking, he saw Fangzheng's finger tap lightly, and the next moment his fingertip suddenly shot out a white ray full of cold air, which hit the table not far away, smashing the The candlesticks were frozen in hoarfrost.
Freeze Rays!
Seeing this scene, Rex was stunned, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at all. After a while, Rex slowly looked at Fangzheng and asked.
"How many of the zero-level tricks recorded above do you know?"
"I've learned it all."
This is also the reason why Fangzheng came to find Rex. After all, in his opinion, the things in this book are just beginners, and the spells recorded on it are all low-level tricks—these things are almost harmless, even Spells don't even count.
Next, I should be able to learn some real spells.
But what surprised Fangzheng was that Rex's complexion was very ugly, which made him a little worried. Was it that my previous behavior was too stupid? You must know that Fangzheng is the first time to touch magic, so he is naturally cautious. Although he only spent a day to figure out the content, but just to be on the safe side, Fangzheng asked Nimfu to help him review it again. Rex came to look for him after he felt that there was nothing missing, but judging by his appearance... did he do something wrong?
