Lord of Arcane

Chapter 414 Magic doesn't love talent

In addition to building houses, of course there is also the research and development of new brick-making techniques. Xia Duo also asked Layton to pay attention at all times, and immediately notified him whenever there was news, while he himself returned to the small camp and devoted himself to magic research.

Xia Duo was projected into an elf again in the projection plane before. Although he did not focus on magic research because of the search for mithril refining methods, and there was a delay in the training of swordsingers, it still took a year.

During this year, Xia Duo completed the study of "Advanced Arcane Geometry" by combining more than a dozen spell books at the 4th ring level, and gained a very deep understanding of the principles of spells.

The [Short-Distance Teleportation], [Dimensional Anchor], [Detection], and [Detection Detective] contained in the more than ten spell books have been mastered by him, and this time when he returned to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo borrowed them from the library. More than ten books have been written.

Among them is "The Structure Analysis and Application Art of Fireball Art". Xia Duo has been coveting it for a long time, but the 3rd ring [Fireball Art] is indeed very powerful for ordinary people, but it is not a good book for mages. Relatively clever spells.

Pure destruction is very simple, the most direct way to guide the impact of negative energy, the damage is much higher than [Fireball], but such things as negative energy can be played in games, there is no need for personal contact in the real world .

Xia Duo didn't have much interest in pure energy manipulation, otherwise, he would have devoted himself to it as early as the apprenticeship stage, when he deduced the quick method of evocation mage.

At that time, he lacked the power to protect himself, but he was still not seduced by pure power.

In Xia Duo's eyes, the role of magic lies in creation. If you just throw out a mass of energy and use the properties of the energy itself, then no matter what form the energy takes, it is actually no different from primitive people.

The strongest attack is never such a fancy thing, and it is what a qualified mage should do according to local conditions.

The choice of [Fireball] this time is actually just to fulfill a dream in the past-if a mage can't even know how to fireball, what kind of mage is he?
The current Xia Duo certainly does not have such a superficial cognition, but he does not laugh at or evade his past self. People's cognition is always updated and iterated. Only by facing the past can we look forward to it better. future.

In addition to the 3rd level [Fireball], Xia Duo also chose a number of low-level spells this time, mainly to enrich his case library, not only spell cases, but also elemental cases.

This is actually a process from specialization to broadness.

In the past, Xia Duo had upgraded too quickly. Although he seemed to be steadily walking on the path of arcanist advancement, he still lacked a lot of foundation, or common sense. This may be the so-called "genius disease".

If you want to go further in the future, you can make plans early now.

Xia Duo has the mature consciousness of an adult, and naturally he will not be too paranoid. He must be close to progress and deeply rooted to the extreme before he can upgrade to the next step.

Magic is different from the comprehension novels I read before time travel. In those comprehension novels, there are often sayings such as "building a foundation without regrets" and "one pill without regrets", but here——

Power is approximately equal to knowledge, any mage, as long as he wants, he can repent at any time.

It’s just that people’s lifespan is limited, and we still have to consider the issue of maximum benefit. Just like on the earth, some people are willing to study for one, two or even three years, and then continue the college entrance examination, while others are not willing.

After basically confirming that advanced arcanists are no longer a problem, Xia Duo will also start to make longer-term plans.

Just like it is impossible to go to university and then remediate the basics of high school, it is not worthwhile in terms of time efficiency, the university should do the work of the university, and finish what can be completed in high school as much as possible.

Of course, if there are some regrets, the future is not irreparable. Knowledge is such a thing, theoretically, it is not too late to want to learn before dying.

Maybe you will "enlighten yourself" once and "fly up" immediately!

Of course there is such a chance, but for a system of magic, it hardly exists, just like on Earth, Xia Duo has never heard of anyone who suddenly became a famous scientist in his later years.

Knowledge needs to be accumulated, and it is difficult to "enlighten oneself" all at once.

Especially the knowledge of magic, which is full of rationality and almost natural science.

……

Next, Xia Duo's main research is "Deep Magic Net", but the essence of the magic net is actually pure theory, and the Nether magic system has not yet been perfected to the extent of pure theoretical derivation.

It is still necessary to use the practice of magic to verify, deduce, perfect, and summarize the theory.

In this process, Xia Duo is going to contact the fifth layer of the magic net first, become a high-level mage, and master the real long-distance teleportation. This is what he planned before entering the projection plane.

Of course, in this process, focus training will not stop.

Concentration training is included under the theory of "Soulology". The purpose of concentration training is not only to improve the concentration of the caster (the will is more concentrated), but also to enable the caster to perceive the soul.

One of the most critical steps for an advanced arcanist is to capture the essence of the magic net and generate arcane fire.

In the end, it is the extension of the soul, or the will, that is combined with the Austrian fire; and to seize the essence of the magic net, it also needs the support of a strong will.

If the soul cannot be perceived, the will will not be clear, so even if the Austrian fire is successfully born, it will have nowhere to rest in the end, and it will not be able to link it with the magic net so that it can exist stably.

At present, Xia Duo's progress in this area is relatively slow. I have communicated with Niya before. She has been exposed to the magic net before she became an adult. Most mages are much earlier.

What Xia Duo is doing now is advanced concentration training, basic concentration training, just to allow ordinary people to contact the magic net and become mage apprentices. In fact, many people have completed this step automatically before they reach adulthood.

There are quite a few people in Savile Town who can cast spells as young adults, but of course they are limited to [magic tricks] with very few elements.

It's a pity that magic doesn't love talent, it loves wisdom more.

These people have a good start, but in the end they are lost to everyone, and playing a few [magic tricks] a day will not improve their lives in any way.

Although Xia Duo's current concentration training is relatively slow, he has been making unswerving progress.

Although there is no specific value to tell him how much his will is worth now, and what percentage of his soul perception progress, but by focusing on the completion of training, he can clearly see that he is making progress.

Moreover, you can roughly estimate your overall progress.

If there is no accident, there will be achievements in the main plane within a year.

(Entering the projection plane is only the projection of the main body, which cannot play a real training role. It is similar to the reason why you cannot upgrade, but it is no problem to acquire knowledge, and you can go in to gain experience.)
