Chapter 233 Jomon Empire

"So this is the development of spells. I didn't expect that the 15 ancient characters actually hid such a mystery."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Qi's cram school has been in session for 4 days.

According to the schedule set by Caroline and others, Chen Qi and others can only stay in the Sea Kite for five days, and then they have to go to the outer ring to perform tasks.

In the past four days, more than 30 seniors took turns to answer all questions and provide one-on-one tutoring.

Of course, the most important part is of course explained by Caroline and other three examiners.

This includes the most important spell development in the controller stage.

······

In the past, the spells that Chen Qi and others learned were basically ready-made.

It can be said that they know the reason, but not the reason.

But at the controller stage, due to the large number of spiritual energy types, the special spiritual energy that everyone smelts is also different.

Using general spells is not enough to bring out the true strength of the controller.

If the controller wants to truly exert his own strength to the extreme, he must adjust the spell according to his own understanding to make it fit his own spiritual power.

This can only be regarded as spell transformation.

The truly talented people rely on their spiritual knowledge to tailor spells for themselves.

This is spell development.

The key is to have a deep understanding and study of 15 ancient characters.

······

[Jomon], [Divination], [Dou Mu Snail].

[Cloud], [Flame], [Mud], [Gold], [Sleeping], [Inscription], [Erosion], [Ghost], [Void], [Elephant], [Scale].

These are the 15 ancient characters recorded in the "Ancient Civilization Basic Knowledge Encyclopedia".

Chen Qi has always been curious about the tens of thousands of ancient civilizations discovered by humans.

Why are these 15 ancient characters used as teaching materials for the extraordinary stage?

Why do these 15 ancient characters have special powers and can construct spells.

All the above questions were answered in the tutorial class.

According to Caroline, or the explanation of the Tianwu Spell Academy, these 15 ancient characters are so special that they can enjoy special treatment.

Because they are the "remnants of civilization", carrying and recording 15 disappeared human civilizations.

Remember, it is just [disappearance], not extinction.

······

When humans first discovered these ancient characters, most of them were engraved in the ruins of civilization relics.

They may be carried by a stone tablet or a clay tablet.

In short, when they were first discovered by humans.

They were just some ordinary scratches, without any other special features.

But as humans completed their interpretation, especially after knowing the civilization that created these characters.

These characters began to gradually become special and have various magical effects.

For this extremely magical phenomenon, the explanation of the major sects in the inner world is that the civilization that created these characters has not disappeared.

After humans recognized these characters, they established a connection with them, and those disappeared civilizations once again projected their power into the world.

The more widely humans use these characters and the more they understand the history behind them, the stronger the power of these ancient characters will be.

One day, those disappeared ancient civilizations will come back with the help of this connection.

The major sects in the inner world even agreed on an exclusive name for this kind of civilization, [God's Civilization], or [Ascending Civilization].

It is a very special form of civilization, and its power is enough to rival that of gods.

In the ancient cultivation era, there were many sects that worshipped this kind of civilization.

They promoted the use of ancient characters with special power and spread the civilization behind them.

Those things that originally recorded these ancient characters were called "sacrificial vessels" or "sacred artifacts" by them, and they were offered for sacrifice and worship.

And these sacrificial vessels or sacred artifacts were also regarded by them as coordinates for welcoming the arrival of [God].

Or they were used to find the existence of God in the endless void.

For example, the [Mother Conch of All Things] of the Life Sect is such a sacrificial vessel.

······

According to historical records, the [Mother Conch of All Things] of the Life Sect was originally just a small conch found by a fisherman in the sea, and then accidentally fell into the hands of a scholar.

After the scholar completed the interpretation of the text on the conch, the [Life Sect] was born.

The legend of the artifact [Mother Conch of All Things] also appeared at that time.

And with the continuous expansion of the Life Sect, the Mother Conch of All Things became more and more magical and powerful.

Even in the other world at that time, all sects believed that the Life Sect was very likely to "find the existence of God first".

Unfortunately, "the work failed"!

······

"Before the birth of the World Government, there were not only 15 ancient characters with special effects circulating in the inner world."

"On the contrary, there are hundreds of such ancient characters."

"The reason why those ancient characters have disappeared now, at least no longer appear in the inner world, is because the World Government believes that the civilization that created those ancient characters does not belong to human civilization."

"Only the 15 ancient characters we use now, the civilization behind them is recognized by the World Government as human civilization."

"So if you encounter other special ancient characters in the future, you must not learn or use them."

"Those sects that wantonly spread other ancient characters are defined as [cults] by the World Government. Don't be soft-hearted when you encounter them."

"Since you want to join the top ten super magic schools, you must always stand on the side of human civilization and support the World Government."

This is Caroline's "earnest teaching" after a class, and Chen Qi was really impressed.

He finally knew why the Spirit World Declaration No. 5, [Never betray human civilization].

And No. 7, [Agree with the World Government's definition and division of humans] exist.

This is really saying that if you are, you are, and if you are not, you are!

If you say you are not, you are not, and if you are, you are not.

If you don't accept it, you must beat V5 first.

According to Caroline, there are only 14 [orthodox religions] recognized by the World Government.

Corresponding to the 14 sects that control the "source of ancient characters" sacrificial vessels.

The reason why there are only 14 is that the sacrificial vessels recording Jomon fell into the hands of the [Jomon Empire], the second largest country.

They are not willing to lower their status and be mixed up with the sects.

Except for these 14 orthodox religions, other sects are only legal.

As for those who have other ancient characters, they are definitely cults.

The kind that everyone wants to kill.

It can be said that after Caroline's "teachings", Chen Qi finally saw the strength of the world government. It is really "only my reason is the reason."

Fortunately, those cults are all hanging out in the outer ring world, and Chen Qi and his team can't get in touch with them at all.

As for those strange ancient characters, Chen Qi has completely extinguished the idea of ​​studying them.

He is a good citizen.

And the 15 ancient characters in front of him are enough for him to spend his mind.

Especially [Jomon], it is the core of the construction of the spell law, and it can even be said that almost all spells in the future cannot get rid of it.

The energy knowledge involved after the expansion of this kind of text is a bit difficult to learn even for Chen Qi, who claims to be a genius.

Of course, this is also because the time is too short.

In just a few days, Chen Qi wanted to catch up with others who had made more than ten years of progress. How could he do that without killing some brain cells?

······

Fortunately, there are still skills in spell construction, and there are even ready-made templates and formulas.

The new method was born three thousand years ago, so there is still some accumulation and foundation.

Chen Qi and his friends were directly indoctrinated.

Caroline didn't expect them to be able to construct spells now. She just hoped that these candidates could adjust the common spells and enhance their combat effectiveness.

Five days passed quickly, and Chen Qi and his friends left the Sea Kite reluctantly.

There was no way to stay away, as their points were all used up.

Without the lottery, they could not gain new knowledge, and they could only stare blankly here.

It would be better to go to sweep and hunt orcs and accumulate points again.

Speaking of the lottery, Chen Qi's 5,000 points successfully made 50 consecutive draws.

As for the result, it can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Excluding those shared knowledge, only three memories were hidden by Chen Qi.

······

The first memory was a unique spell of a controller who had sublimated spirituality four times.

The spell was called [Pulling Silk and Unraveling Cocoon], which was a very peculiar spell.

The effect of this spell was to extract [the thread of life] from a living being.

Once the silk thread in a living being was exhausted, the living being would quickly age and die.

The first time Chen Qi saw this spell, he felt that it was meant for him.

Isn't this just stealing vitality!

It's a pity that the person who created this spell had a low level of attainment. This spell can only extract the thread of life from ordinary lives, and the other party can't resist.

It can't be used in actual combat at all.

If this spell fell into the hands of other candidates, they could only use it to kill lab mice at most.

But Chen Qi had other ideas.

He still admired some of the ideas of the creator of this spell.

He might not be unable to achieve the effect that the other party couldn't achieve.

······

The second memory that Chen Qi kept privately was a reading memory called [Tongyoulu].

The word "You" refers to the "Youwen" among the 15 ancient characters.

Tongyoulu is a book that introduces "Youwen" in detail.

It is different from the frequently used ancient characters such as "Yunwen" and "Yanwen".

Chen Qi has never seen any spells used in the last few of the 15 ancient characters.

This is really a very strange thing.

It's as if they are incompatible with other characters and form a separate system.

But since the world government also defines those ancient characters as human civilization, they must be usable. It should be that Chen Qi has not been exposed to enough spells.

The biggest feature of "Youwen" is that it can lower the spiritual frequency of life.

Tongyoulu records that humans can even use "Youwen" to infinitely reduce their own spiritual frequency and then contact another world.

It's a pity that Tongyoulu does not have any specific secret method, but only hastily introduces and popularizes science.

Otherwise, Chen Qi really wants to see a world with negative spiritual frequency.

To be more precise, it is a world where life with negative spiritual frequency lives.

That should be an extremely incredible level.

······

As for the third memory that Chen Qi kept privately, it is not so precious, but it is too unsuitable to share.

It seems to be a picture of a man studying bodybuilding.

Under the heavy rain, the man who attracted lightning resisted with his body, and then half of his body turned into charcoal.

The only lesson Chen Qi learned from this scene is not to fly kites on rainy days.

The memory fragments that Chen Qi and others won in the lottery are actually stored in the box of knowledge.

As long as they want, they can project them through the jade talisman.

This is no different from the movie scene, it is not immersive at all.

The reason why Chen Qi did not share this scene is that the dead are the greatest, and you can't publicize the embarrassing things after someone's death.

Another important reason is that this person imprinted some "special ancient characters" on his body when he was forging his body.

This is a bit taboo, and Chen Qi doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

It seems that even if the world government has banned it, there are still many people who secretly learn other ancient characters.

······

"Brother Chen, are you really not going to join us?"

"It will be safer for the five of us to form a team and explore and search abandoned laboratories."

Outside the Sea Kite, Chen Qi was saying goodbye to several friends.

During the five days of study, Chen Qi made several friends because he was willing to share knowledge.

At this time, they returned to the outer ring to perform the mission, and Yang Jichang and others who had met before planned to invite Chen Qi to join the team.

After all, although the outer ring has a higher safety factor, that only refers to the situation that they do not commit suicide.

Now they have to search for abandoned laboratories and find clues to Changshou Village.

The risk is unpredictable.

Maybe many laboratories are empty and there is no danger.

But who knows what experiments those evil people have done here. As long as there are some strange things left in the laboratory, it will be enough for them to be unlucky.

Don't you see that the examiner Wei Qingran also suffered a great loss in the laboratory.

For the kindness of Yang Jichang and others, Chen Qi could only decline.

He has his own plan, and it would be more convenient for him to act alone.

The most important thing is that there are outsiders, so it is not convenient for Chen Qi to "go all out".

Compared with other candidates, his current strength is a bit too incredible.

For example, the few people in front of him, combined, are not enough for Chen Qi to kill in one move.

If he encounters trouble during the exploration, he can't just stand by and watch him die.

But if his true strength is exposed, Chen Qi is unwilling.

One foot beyond others is a genius, but one foot beyond others is a monster.

Chen Qi thinks he should not undermine others' self-confidence.

······

Yang Jichang and others don't care about Chen Qi's refusal.

Everyone met by chance, and at this time they just huddled together for warmth.

Since others have other plans, they will naturally not be ignorant.

To be honest, there are quite a few people who choose to act alone like Chen Qi.

After all, although Shengxian Island is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities.

The candidates who can come here are all full of confidence in their talents and luck.

To act in a group is to be a cowardly weakling.

How long have you known each other for? You can be so open and honest, trusting each other with life and death?

If the treasure is in front of you, who can guarantee that there will be no one to stab you in the back?

Of course, there are people who plan to "be lazy" and take a stroll in the major human settlements.

Anyway, they are also completing the task to help the senior sister search for the three little girls.

To be honest, Caroline did not expect them to find clues to the longevity village.

On the contrary, the task assigned by the senior sister requires more efforts from this group of candidates.

······

After parting with everyone, Chen Qi sneaked all the way and returned to the outer ring.

After staying in the 62-fold concentration of spiritual energy for a long time, Chen Qi was a little uncomfortable when he returned to the outer ring.

No wonder these monsters on the island are so comfortable. If it weren't for the blood moon, it would be really safe to stay at the seaside.

"I don't know what happened to Coleman's camp?"

"Let's go check it out!"

Although Yu Haonan and Selina did not appear on the Sea Kite, Chen Qi had already determined that something must have happened to the camp.

But after all, he still needed to conduct a field survey.

Otherwise, when the prophecy in the wind appears again next time, will he believe it or not?

······

After Chen Qi deliberately avoided some laboratories, he arrived at the seaside smoothly.

Now all candidates have a distribution map of all laboratories in the outer ring.

There are more than 70 abandoned laboratories in the entire outer ring.

Most of them come from the biochemical and animal paths, and some come from other unknown forces.

It can be said that with this map in hand, if they really want to be lazy, the survival rate of these candidates in the outer ring is still quite high.

But people are always striving for progress, just like Chen Qi.

He must show a little bit, otherwise how to settle the account with the Youquan Spell Academy?

······

"Hey, is it really destroyed?"

Chen Qi made a judgment before reaching the camp.

After all, the entire coast was quiet, and not even a single person could be seen.

And before this, this was absolutely impossible.

After all, the scale of Coleman's camp had reached thousands of people, and the entire beach was full of people just to search for food.

Now, the entire coast is simply dead silent.

······

"Strange!"

"There are obviously traces of a battle here, but where are the bodies of the orcs?"

"Did they get taken away by the sand crabs?"

Chen Qi approached the camp carefully. He found many traces of orcs around.

Obviously, on the night when the blood moon appeared, this camp must have also welcomed a tide of orcs.

But if the orcs really won, this place should not be so clean!

Orcs don't have the habit of cleaning the battlefield.

······

"What is this?"

"A human skin?"

The camp had already turned into ruins. As soon as Chen Qi stepped in, he saw a dried human skin on the ground.

Chen Qi thought it was a sin committed by an orc, but as he went deeper, things were not right.

The camp was covered with dried human skins everywhere. The number made Chen Qi's scalp numb.

Not only humans, Chen Qi also saw a lot of orc skins.

Obviously, both sides of the war were wiped out by something.

What kind of existence could do such a crazy thing.

Isn't that prophecy of destruction referring to the tide of orcs, but describing the scene in front of him?
