Chapter 563 Chapter 560 Time Flows Like Water

The Stone Pillar Hall stores all the magic knowledge collected by the Lich Master. He said that these seventy-two stone pillars are the greatest achievement and pride of his life. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’ Although Zhuang Xuteng had been able to come in here at any time, he was not allowed to browse the contents on the stone pillars at will. He simply equates the knowledge of stone pillars with other people's memories. A basic courtesy is "don't pry into other people's memories without consent."

It wasn't until the Lich Master explicitly allowed Zhuang Xuteng to view the catalog and find the knowledge he wanted to learn by himself that Zhuang Xuteng officially stood in front of the stone pillar, focused his eyes, concentrated on his thoughts, and let the words on the stone pillar present the answer he was searching for.

The knowledge on the stone pillars is vast, which is the result of time - and life. Zhuang Xuteng gently touched the heavy knowledge with his slowly moving eyes, and out of the corner of his eye saw the Lich Master sitting upright on the high platform. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, is it true that as long as you are a recognized mage, you can access this information?"

"You don't have to be a mage." The Lich Master's answer was beyond Zhuang Xuteng's expectation. He said: "Although everyone can cast spells, there are differences in spell casting qualifications between people. It doesn't matter if there are differences, as long as you find someone who is good at it. If you do it well in things and things you like, it will all be successful. As for spells, some people use them. Some people may not have the corresponding spell-casting abilities, but they are good at planning spells, combining them, and constructing spell projects. It’s like directing a battle: the person who directs is often not the best at archery.”

"I understand. If people know what spells there are, everyone can better apply the spells in various aspects - that's great. Under the control of the company, shadow spells and implants are kept strictly confidential and organized into a system The knowledge that can only be gained by working for a company is better for you, Master.”

"Hey, Master, why don't you speak up and agree?" Zhuang Xuteng poked his head out from behind the pillar, looked at Master Lich, and asked, "You're not going to be angry with me, are you? When I enter the Stone Pillar Hall, am I going to kill you?" His consciousness was also involved?"

"My body can still move outside, and it won't delay his work. It's just that the huge difference in time flow between the two sides makes me a little uncomfortable. In addition, it doesn't matter if my world is good or not, it's over, that's all."

"Perhaps there is an opportunity to build a new one?" Zhuang Xuteng's mind has always been fast. When he raises a question, he will start thinking about how to solve the problem. How to recreate the past - he was browsing the catalog of stone pillars, so his ideas were regarded as items that needed to be retrieved, and their spell classifications were also presented.

"Wow, Master, there is also a time travel spell here! Can you go back to the past?"

"Time travel is possible, but you cannot go back to before the disaster." The Lich Master said: "The destructive power sweeping everything is like a dam across the river of time. It only allows one-way passage. Forcibly breaking through the blockade will cause the collapse of the time spell. , wherever the Breakthrough goes, it will be destroyed at any point in time. The conclusion is obvious: I cannot reverse the result of the destruction of the world."

"But you can actually travel through time?"

"Under some limited conditions and after spending considerable resources - yes, I can travel through time." Master Lich waved his hand, looking a little impatient: "I have infinite life, don't you? Something irrelevant like this There are enough questions to fill you up for a lifetime - and you haven't even read the table of contents yet."

"I won't talk nonsense." Zhuang Xuteng then covered his mouth and focused again, focusing his thoughts on the void annihilation ball spell. After a while, the corresponding directory was displayed on the stone pillar. The relevant knowledge and experience records about the void annihilation ball spell were stored on six stone pillars. Zhuang Xuteng wrote down their relationships and positions, and then began to study.

Since the souls of Master Lich and Zhuang Xuteng are bound together, when Zhuang Xuteng is in the Stone Pillar Hall, Master Lich must also be here. Considering that he was quite boring sitting motionless on the high platform, Zhuang Xuteng chatted with him while studying. Most of them are magic-related issues, such as the meaning of some professional vocabulary, the specific content of magic skills, and the inner meaning of some common sayings cited by researchers. During this period, he asked insinuatingly about the destructive power of the Shadow Realm, especially the special phenomenon that would lead to death if not isolated.

The Lich Master named this phenomenon "anecrosis". Its principle is similar to disintegration, but it only takes effect on things in different worlds, just like the body's rejection reaction. Since Zhuang Xuteng is mixed with the soul of the Lich Master, he is considered to be part of the "current world". In addition, Zhuang Xuteng always uses necromancy to wrap himself. Although this necromancy spell has been modified according to the rules of shadow magic to adapt to the corporate world, it is still considered to be in line with the rules of the shadow world.

"Anecrosis poses basically no threat to you." The Lich Master said: "Even if there is, it will not have an effect without several years of accumulation. Considering that you cannot live in the outside environment for many years, I judge that you are not Something will happen."

"What if your judgment is wrong?" Zhuang Xuteng felt that Master Lich was somewhat irresponsible.

"Wrong, then die. Don't ask me such a simple question in the future."

Zhuang Xuteng was choked and was about to refute that his life was short but still important, but he immediately thought: the Lich Master was with him and took the same risk. Besides, isn't it irresponsible to expect a dead spirit to respect the lives of others? Forget it, let's study the Void Annihilation Sphere quickly. Zhuang Xuteng had a strong premonition: if he learned this thing, it would be his trump card against the company's enhanced people.

From the appearance description, the Void Annihilation Sphere is a rotating black sphere. Not only can it not emit light, but it will also capture all the light approaching it and completely swallow it, so it is actually impossible to "see" its true core. The "rotation" of the Void Annihilation Sphere is summarized from some phenomena of its interaction with the surrounding environment, especially when it is close to objects such as dust and flowing water, they are not directly sucked into the center of the annihilation sphere, but enter along a spiral line that is shrinking and accelerating. This spiral line is the "rotation" of the Void Annihilation Sphere.

The spell is essentially a short-term disintegration effect. Compared with the disintegration that Zhuang Xuteng currently has, its power is more concentrated, more powerful, and it must leave the body. The most important point is the third point: leaving the body. According to the spell description, the void annihilation ball will destroy objects of a certain mass with extremely high efficiency, and it will die if it touches or touches. If it does not leave the body, the caster will be killed first, and the spell will be meaningless.

"It's so straightforward, it seems like you are teaching a child..." Zhuang Xuteng looked at the text presented on the pillar and couldn't help but complain.

"The content presented on the pillar will change according to your knowledge of spells, unless it cannot be further simplified." The lich master interrupted and poked Zhuang Xuteng's heart. "It thinks you are a child, so it says so. And from the performance of your random experiment of the disintegration effect, I think its judgment is very accurate."

Why does the lich master like to confront people recently? Is he in a bad mood? Did something provoke him?

Zhuang Xuteng really guessed it right. The Lich Master was in a bad mood recently because the magic array project he had always wanted to complete was going very smoothly recently. The overall progress was only a visible gap from being able to destroy the company world. When the magic array is completed, the Lich Master will activate it and transmit the power of destruction through the shadow world channel. The same disintegration power will sweep across the company world and destroy everything there, thus completing his ultimate revenge.

It's just that he is a little reluctant to let Zhuang Xuteng go.

Zhuang Xuteng will definitely survive, and the Lich Master will not kill him. Moreover, the two of them merged together, and in fact the Lich Master could not kill him, but he would definitely lose him. Although the two of them were completely forced to get along day and night, a dead spirit should not have feelings casually. But Zhuang Xuteng's soul affected the Lich Master, and the degree of influence has exceeded the scope that can be offset by absolute rationality. He regards Zhuang Xuteng as an apprentice, even higher than an apprentice, more like a disciple and a friend. He feels irritated when he thinks of facing Zhuang Xuteng after successfully taking revenge.

The Lich Master originally planned to self-destruct after completing his revenge, and let the two final silent worlds be his grave. However, he had already promised in his heart that he would let Zhuang Xuteng live, which meant responsibility, and he had to find a new home for him. While taking on this responsibility, he would definitely have to face Zhuang Xuteng's "torture".

When he thought of this problem, the Lich Master felt that Zhuang Xuteng was "very troublesome", so it would be better to just kill him. His thoughts jumped back and forth between "protect him", "take care of him", and "kill him", and it would be strange if his emotions could be stable.

From Zhuang Xuteng's eyes, the Lich Master believed that he had revealed too many emotional problems. He couldn't make a final decision immediately, so he chose to solve the current problem first. The method is very simple, just "shut up, talk less, and only use declarative sentences".

Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand the Lich Master's troubles, and he didn't know that as he became more and more focused on learning spells, he became more like a spell researcher than before, and the Lich Master liked him more and more, and was more reluctant to kill him, and naturally became more entangled. For Zhuang Xuteng, whatever problems he encounters, he will solve them. If he thinks that the Void Annihilation Sphere is very useful, then he will learn it well first.

Speaking of the Void Annihilation Sphere spell, as a rare fish that slips through the net among the lich master's spell abilities, it is indeed very unique. The disintegration effect comes from the protective spell, and the Void Annihilation Sphere is the 100% strongest offensive means. From defending everything to destroying everything, the beauty of this drastic change can arouse the endless reverie of any philosopher, and will also make a young man sigh at the magic of spells.

The Void Annihilation Sphere is extremely dangerous, and the disintegration effect is not much less. Therefore, when practicing this spell, all mages must be cautious and dare not speed up the progress at will. Generally speaking, it is impossible to complete the Void Annihilation Sphere spell without one or two years from the discovery of the disintegration effect. But the young man Zhuang Xuteng "dared" to use the disintegration effect on himself, and he would not be damaged, which allowed him to perceive and control the disintegration effect more easily than other mages.

Controlling spells requires a good feel, and the same is true for the Void Annihilation Sphere spell, but for other mages, the sense of control of the Disintegration effect is extremely difficult to obtain. For example, a chef wants to use salt to cook a dish, and the recipe says "appropriate amount", so you have to taste it to see if it is appropriate. Sometimes it is just salt, sometimes it is sour, sometimes it is spicy, and at worst there is unwashed large intestine... Most of the time, mages have to face this kind of situation, and at most they can just bear it, but the Disintegration effect is equivalent to potassium cyanide in this recipe.

Zhuang Xuteng was the cook who was fine even if he tried potassium cyanide. Of course, he would know what "appropriate amount" meant faster. He passed the most difficult level like this, but things that were very simple to others stumped him.

"Spell out-of-body control." Zhuang Xuteng stumbled upon this "little trick." Although he practiced a lot according to the relevant knowledge on the stone pillars, even though he read almost all the relevant experience and experience, and it can be said that he was not devoted or attentive, the progress could not be said to be gradual, but could only be said to be standing still.

"It's strange. Why doesn't my magic want to leave me?" After a long period of torture, Zhuang Xuteng had to admit that he couldn't figure out this technique on his own, so he had no choice but to go to the Lich Master. He admitted honestly: "I originally wanted to complete the entire spell by myself to prove my strength and improve my evaluation with you, but I also know that vanity is useless. It is useful if you can actually learn the spell. Master, this out-of-body spell control technique what's going on?"

The Lich Master first asked about the ins and outs of the whole thing. Seeing that "his apprentice" could encounter such weird problems, he sighed that the world is so big and full of wonders, and that if you go long enough, you can encounter any weird things.

After trying to control his emotions, he raised his hand to create a fist-sized ball of light, then controlled it to revolve around his body, and finally returned to his palm and gradually dissipated. "This is the magic out-of-body control technique. Every mage should master this technique, but you don't need to."

"Why?" Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head, his eyes so innocent that Master Lich wanted to slap him.

Control your emotions...talk less...declarative sentences...Master Lich spread his hands flat and summoned the ball of light again. This time, he also created a vengeful tentacle and asked the tentacle to circle around him several times with the ball of light. The tentacle finally carried the light ball back to the palm, and then crushed it, completely imitating the movement and ending of the previous light ball.

"You have established a powerful perception field that no other mages have. Your wraith spells can be precisely controlled within this range, as if they were inside your body. The out-of-body control technique... You want this technique to take off, and you can compete with other mages in this field. Technically, the difficulty of graduation is the same. Anyway, the disintegration effect will not hurt you, and after forming the annihilation ball, it will only eat part of the tentacles, so there is no need to practice out-of-body control skills. "

Zhuang Xuteng opened his mouth wide, and after a while he took a sharp breath, finally regaining his breathing. "I'm so stupid!" He patted his head and said, "Can't I practice out-of-body control skills if I stop the Wraith Jelly?"

"If you really want to learn that skill, this is the way to go."

"We'll talk about it later. I've spent too much time on my skills. Master, it's been three months since we came in this time, right?"

"Five months and four days." Master Lich said. "Don't be surprised. Learning spells will make people lose their sense of time. This has nothing to do with memory. Some mages die of old age while learning. This kind of thing is also common."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "Then I will complete the void annihilation ball in half a month, and then we will leave."
