Chapter 178 The Most Painful Episode

"The release of magic and the success of magic invocation depend on the four heavenly places... After passing the four heavenly places..."

"Um……"

Bel Xi pondered, reading the contents of the book word by word, and looked at the mage girl beside him: "The four heavenly positions... what are the heavenly positions?"

In response to this, the mage girl who was also reading and studying answered smoothly: "The heavenly position has two meanings. If it is the [Four Heavenly Positions], then it can also be called the Four Certainties..."

What the hell?

Bel Xi still looked confused.

Sebu Belia, who was also flipping through the book, added what the mage girl said: "The release of magic requires the passage of all four affirmations."

"They are - 1. Is there magic power to support the release of spells?"

"2. Has the correct spell model been created?"

"3. Whether the chanting was performed correctly."

"4. Whether the heaven pointed by the spell responds."

…

Belsey:? ? ?

No, what is [the pointing heaven]? Is it the target of the spell release? Does it mean the enemy?

Or the pointing star? Astral magic?

Under Bel Xi's confusion, Sebu Belia rubbed her brows, feeling that her new course was becoming more and more obscure.

So he looked in the direction of Bel Xi and began to answer Bel Xi's doubts first: "The [Heavenly Position] pointed by the spell is the name of the person being eulogized."

"If it is elemental magic, then the heaven is the element itself or the various famous elemental lords. This is not only true for magic, but also for divine magic."

"..."

Belsey nodded with a vague understanding, and then continued to chew on the "Basics of Introduction to Magic (1)" in his hand...of course, in the sense of learning.

Yes, this is a relatively basic textbook, but for the Abyss Dragon and Bel Xi, it is very obscure and difficult to understand.

"In the process of filling the magic power, there are many different filling methods according to the different spell models and different types of spells."

"Uh...Lyndesa Stuffing...Frank Stuffing...um...Chris Pate Stuffing."

"..."

Please forgive me... Belsi is actually not the kind of person who reads aloud while reading, but he can't help but do so at this moment.

Because, if he didn't read it out loud, his eyes would almost close.

"MS=(M/0.75)*(LV+1)"

Bel Xi thought and took a breath of cold air, making some insignificant contribution to the greenhouse effect in the other world.

"Excuse me, what does MS mean? It's not written in the book..."

In response to Belch's question, Morris, who seemed very idle for the time being, answered on behalf of others: "That's the spell filling efficiency."

With that said, Morris, who knew which formula Belch was talking about, continued: "M refers to magic affinity, and LV refers to the level of the caster."

"The thing that determines these specific values ​​is called [a unit]. The standard of affinity is based on the first generation White Demon..."

"And for the final calculated spell filling efficiency, divide that number by ten, which is the casting time of the Anonymous Fireball spell, excluding chanting."

In response, Morris held up the book while sitting next to Belsi, and looked at Belsi with a slight sigh, whose scales exuded a beautiful luster.

The dragon... this was really the first time he saw it up close in reality.

Belxi, on the other hand, was reading a book with his chin propped up, looking like he had a headache.

"..."

[Brother...you...can you see it? 】

Nanajima Semu's voice sounded a little broken, and her trembling tentacles turned the pages in front of her.

[I know every word, but why can’t I understand them together? 】

Said Nananoshima Semu, the whole slime seemed to melt, and collapsed into a blue-green pie.

[There are many, many formulas... Those who don't know may think I'm learning advanced mathematics... Introduction! I must enlighten you immediately! 】

Regarding the already crazy Nanajima Semu, the smiling Bersi shook his head: "By the way, you said that your grades in these subjects are very poor?"

[Yes, haha... My grades in math, physics, and chemistry are all very poor! It's basically just a little below average. 】

"Oh, what about the creature?"

[Neon does not take the biology test, and there is no comprehensive science...]

Nanajima Semu responded casually, then put the book in his hand aside without hesitation, and twisted back to Belshe's body.

[Ah, I can’t see anymore... I’m dead. 】

"..."

Bersi, who was a little speechless, looked up at Nananashima Semu who was back on his head... Nananashima Semu was actually a poor student.

"Do you hate studying so much? Or are you not good at studying?"

Bel Xi said, sighing and turning his attention to the book in his hand, guessing: "Is it because of Neon's happy education? It's really harmful."

[No, I play Genshin Impact. 】

"WOC, (__)!"

"..."

No one around them understood the meaning of the two people's complaints and conversations, but this did not prevent them from finding it interesting.

In particular, such dialogue comes from dragons and slimes respectively.

It is almost the pinnacle of the ecological niche, and only high-level angels and high-level demons can rival it among common races.

The other one is almost at the bottom of the ecological niche. It’s hard to even think of any race that would be killed by a single slime...

Of course, it's only of the same level here... Otherwise, a second-level thunder slime or something like that can easily kill a goblin or a jackal.

This kind of forbidden love (Bershi, Nananoshima Semu:???) makes people feel very interesting.

【Ouch! I really can’t stand it anymore... Can I skip these theoretical knowledge and learn while practicing? 】

Nanajima Semu said this, she felt it for a moment, and then said: [For example, help me awaken a magic power first! Meditate or something! 】

Saying this, Semu Nanajima quickly jumped into the arms of instructor Zaina, and squeezed her chest: [Teacher! I want to learn magic! 】

Zaina was a little surprised at first, and then hesitated... After all, most mages need to master some basic knowledge first.

But...since Ms. Slime said so.

"Okay... to awaken magic power, you need to learn [Meditation]. After learning it, as long as you consume magic power and refine the spell, the quality and quantity of magic power will slowly increase."

So that’s the case, no wonder Sebubelia wakes up early every time to practice magic... Is she actually practicing magic at the same time?

It feels different from the kind of magician that Belsi knew [meditating instead of sleeping, meditating in seclusion and practicing asceticism].

Oh, that's cultivating immortality...I'm sorry.

"..."

【Um? Want to learn magic first? Meditation? But how can I use meditation if I don’t have magic power? Do you guys have any clues? 】

Semu Nananoshima felt something was wrong... What should I do if I don't have magic power?

Then go learn meditation!

Meditation requires magic power to release...

Then go get the magic power!

…

Isn't this an endless cycle?

"Meditation does not require magic power. To be precise... meditation is a unique [constant], but the target is the caster himself."

The one who said this was the female classmate named Qinko who had been reading her book. She leaned on Nananoshima Semu's tentacles and answered.

After that, Siba, who was leaning on the stack of books, also added an explanation: "Ah, it's the same as the spells that are fixed on the staff and rings... After all, it's a slime, and it doesn't even know this... …ah!!!!"

Halfway through Xiba's sarcasm, he felt as if his butt was poked by something, and a numb, sore and itchy feeling immediately came over him.

While she was shouting, she turned her head in panic, and then saw a black, thick, and sharp tentacle that seemed very proud.

That was the tentacle that Semu Nananoshima transformed into the form of a demonic insect.

"It's just a slime! How dare you... ow!!"

"..."

Ignoring Xiba who was being stabbed and running around, Nanajima Semu poked Zaina Wu Seyu: "I understand, then teach me! Meditation!"

In response to her words, Zaina, who was looking at Siba with an expression that she couldn't bear to look at, turned her head away.

"Okay, come with me."

Saying this, Zaina hugged Semu Nananoshima who had retracted her tentacles, and walked around in this huge classroom.

Bel Xi also followed curiously.

Like other [classrooms], this [classroom] is more like a huge library than a classroom.

Moreover, there are escalators that continuously extend upward, and densely packed bookshelves around it form a layer-by-layer collection of books.

With such a collection of books, it may be just a classroom, and the royal library in the previous life would already be ashamed.

But this is normal. After all, according to the third sister, this is one of the two highest schools for the Kingdom's mages.

The books here are not books, but the power itself...

In a world where knowledge represents substance and can become power without layer upon layer of transformation, the more [knowledge] you master, the more powerful you become.

The more powerful it is, the easier it is to plunder books as the carrier of [knowledge], and then become more powerful.

Therefore, it is rather biased to only think of the academy as [school], and even [military academy] seems almost meaningless.

Belsey thought so, searching for the right words in his mind.

…

"Let me find out where the meditation books are placed... Strange, the most basic books should be placed in the most conspicuous place..."

"..."

In Zaina's voice, Belsi suddenly thought of a word... that was [Arms Factory].

It seems a bit retarded. After all, schools and factories seem to be out of reach, but... he just thinks it's very suitable.

Even he himself couldn't explain why.

"Ah, I found it...it is indeed over here."

With that said, Zaina pulled out a book from a bookshelf in the principle teaching area and handed it to Semu Nananoshima.

At the same time, he looked at Bel Xi, glanced at the mage girl who was following, and said, "First memorize the original text of [Meditation]."

Original text? what is that?

[Original scripture? What does it mean? 】

Voicing questions similar to those in Belch's mind, Semu Nanajima took the book and read the contents:

[If the song of the soul is chanted to form the foundation of the devil, the dream can also infuse the soul into bliss... What is this? 】

Saying this, Semu Nananoshima flipped back a few pages and found that the parchment was full of sentences like this, which had no punctuation and did not know how to break them.

Looks like some kind of chant?

"This is the original book... Ah, second sister, if you read the introductory book before, you will understand what the release of spells consists of."

The mage girl said this, and Nanajima Semu immediately answered: "I remember the four heavenly positions... magic power, model, chanting, and the response of the heavenly positions, right?"

Indeed, Bel Xi had asked just now, and she also remembered the answer.

"Yes, but each part can be subdivided into many things, such as the [original canon] in front of the second sister."

As the mage girl spoke, she introduced what the so-called [Original Code] was to her eldest brother and second sister, who did not know anything about similar knowledge.

"This is [chanting]. The chanting when we cast the spell is actually omitted. The brief chanting of a dozen syllables is a simplified version."

"In fact, all chants are these long and irregular [original scriptures]. Only by memorizing the original scriptures can we use chants to summarize them when casting spells."

"The degree of memory of the original text determines whether a person needs to read every syllable completely and strictly when singing..."

"If the original canon is thoroughly understood and the other three heavens are perfectly in place, then a short chant can greatly speed up the process."

"On the contrary, in chanting, even the fallacies of [of] and [of] will lead to the failure of magic release."

The mage girl said, while Nanajima Semu flipped through the book in his hand in panic: [So... I have to memorize this book verbatim? 】

Belsi was covered in cold sweat... The magicians in this world worked harder than he imagined. They felt very different from the magicians in RPG games.

Did you say that if you slap the skill book on your face, you will learn the skill?

…

"No, second sister, what are you thinking about?"

However, the mage girl's words made both of them breathe a sigh of relief... It's okay, otherwise, they would really want to die if they were asked to memorize the [original classics] that were piled up with illogical words.

"The [original classics] of meditation are at least in this row of books."

The mage girl who said this, under the stiff gazes of her eldest brother and second sister, slid her fingers from the first book on the first row of the bookshelf to the last book.

"Just write down all these words verbatim... But as long as you remember them completely, you won't forget them in the future."

Wow, that’s really nice…

"..."

That’s weird! ! !

Although there are not many words on each page of the parchment book and the pages are somewhat thick, there are thirteen lines on one page and thirteen words on each line...

How many words does it take to memorize one column of bookshelf? ! !
