Twenty Sided Dice

The other students glanced at each other and walked to their rooms one after another. --Siegel took two steps back, but stopped for some reason. He looked at the black bugs still wriggling on the ground, and curiosity prevailed. He turned around and walked back again, picking up a worm in the wizard's hand and placing it in front of him to observe.

The worm kept squirming, and the spiral mouthparts opened and closed, making a small but sharp sound. This bug is obviously different from the one that burrows into the body of the bald mage. It has neither the ability to hide nor the ability to damage. It can only keep struggling in Siegel's control, delivering an angry message.

All worms have magically formed psychic connections that intertwine in a complex web. This is very similar to the sub-brain system of the Star Cable, which integrates the basic intelligence of elemental creatures and improves their ability to deal with problems through division of labor and cooperation. Following this line of observation for a while, Siegel was surprised to find a fact: every bug is equivalent to a sub-brain, although the ability of a single unit is not as good as that of an elemental sub-brain, but their number is too large, tens of thousands of bugs bring The computing power is beyond imagination.

No, if that's the case, then the masked elf mage's mind will be extremely smart, all the secrets don't exist in his eyes, so there must be something wrong. Siegel dug a few more worms from the ground and observed them together. It turns out that the efficiency of information exchange between bugs is not high, and a large part of the computing power is wasted on mutual coordination. Coupled with the disadvantages of chain interaction, the final level of intelligence of the entire bug colony should be similar to that of most humans.

Right in front of Siegel. The few bugs began to divide and grew rapidly. Each newly spawned bug interacts with other bugs. Just make sure they belong to the same cluster. At this time, Siegel already understood what bugs are for: this must be a way to prolong life and regenerate, transfer his memory to the swarm, and as long as there is one bug alive, then the mage can Stand up again.

In addition to being able to respawn, with the increase of bugs. The mage's memory and calculation ability can be improved. This is very important for a spellcaster who is constantly learning. Siegel believes that in addition to the lack of efficiency, there must be other reasons that prevent the insect mage from exerting all the abilities of the sub-brain. Although this topic is interesting, he does not want to involve energy in it.

Whether turning into a bug or turning into a lich, these changes will ultimately affect the original character of the mage. Siegel has a deep understanding of this, and he is definitely two kinds of people in normal form and skeleton form. I don't know what kind of way of thinking will be after becoming a swarm, maybe I have a soft spot for the black soil of **? Thinking of this, Siegel fought a cold war. There are many ways to be a mage, but getting weirder is never a good way out. Fortunately, my own research is cloning. rather than any other way of resurrection.

He crouched on the ground to study the bugs, and some students looked at him strangely. "This new man is dead." They all maintained this attitude. Judging from the magical fluctuations escaping from the ground, the Mask Mage is definitely still alive, he is just waiting for the reorganization of his body. The new old man did not know the power of the mask mage. He will be cleared soon, as the Mask Mage will never allow anyone to study his body.

No one would help the old mage, not even the elf Anna left the room. Just like what she said before, reminding me that you have shown good intentions. If others don't listen to the persuasion, what can you do? Several mages are secretly observing, because every battle between other students is a good learning opportunity, because no one knows whether they will face the same battle situation in the future.

Siegel didn't think much about it. He simply wanted to study this rare phenomenon in front of him. Since the bugs aren't congregating now, the mutual induction between them is not very complicated and is within Siegel's analytical abilities. If the Mask Mage completes the rebirth, the highly concentrated bugs will block Siegel's detection, and even psionic vision will not be able to detect flaws.

Time passed slowly, and some bugs avoided danger in the soil, having completed their division and rebirth. They slowly crept out and began to gather into clumps of worms after another. Each coil increases their intelligence and now behaves differently than before. The single black bugs only know how to stay as far away as possible from the place of death, and scatter in droves. Now these strange black clumps of yarn can sense the danger around them, at least know how to avoid Siegel as much as possible, roll away a certain distance, and then slowly gather.

The increase in numbers also made the network of telepathic communication between the bugs strong and complex, gradually changing from the state of fishing nets to some kind of diffuse field effect, a phenomenon that caught Siegel's attention. He released a large number of elements, all over the space area. He will never interfere with the actions of the insect mage, but all changes will be transmitted to his mind through the change of elements.

If you think of each bug as a small spell, the combination of thousands of bugs is very complicated. The process of the insect mage's reorganization will not be deliberately slowed down, and each reorganization will be different due to different starting conditions. The process is ever-changing and may never be repeated. A large amount of information that changes at a high speed cannot be memorized and analyzed, and the huge variables make repeated experiments impossible, so no one has been able to analyze any information from this process in the past. The method of becoming an Insect Master has always been a very secret knowledge, and even the Insect Master himself can't explain it clearly. If you want to become an Insect Master, you must obtain "protozoa" from another Insect Master, and then raise it yourself to be successful.

As long as hidden knowledge exists, there is always a way to learn, and the twenty-sided dice is made for this. Although tens of thousands of spell nodes are complex, they are not comparable to the circuit technology of goblins. The analytical powers that the dice gave Siegel played a key role in this, making Siegel the first mage able to track the entire process of change.

From the line to the surface, the mental link also changes from the net to the field. At this moment, the will of the insect mage was resurrected, he could feel the outside world and control himself, and his magical ability gradually recovered.

This is a critical moment, the moment when wisdom is born. Siegel thought of Xing Suo, if the power of the sub-brain can be enhanced to achieve the same effect, maybe Xing Suo will be a real living soul. Likewise, there is a larger swarm intelligence than the worm mages known as the Goblin Network of the Star Gods. Massive data and complex structures have made it self-aware. Although it is the most elementary one, it is a qualitative change from a network to a field.

"Let go of my body." The Insect Master, who had already formed a basic outline, spoke. He had no vocal cords and other organs, and his voice was more like being squeezed out of an insect's body. "Old guy, if you want to be hostile to me, I can accompany you to the end."

Siegel shook his head and let go of the force field to let the last few bugs go. If you want to destroy the insect mage, you need to destroy all the insects one by one while defeating him. But even with area spells that deal large damage, it's inevitable that you won't miss a bug or two. The reorganization this time was on the ground, but that didn't mean he couldn't reorganize elsewhere.

This is a very difficult enemy to deal with, like Siegel with cloning. Besides, he has already learned the most crucial information by observing the insect mage, and he can leave contentedly. So he turned around and left without waiting for the insect mage to fully recover.

But at this moment, a force field blocked the entrance of Siegel's room, preventing him from passing. When Siegel tried to disarm the force field, the Djinn spoke up: "You need to pay 100 points to destroy someone else's magical barrier. Please confirm."

A student's door slowly closed, and the man who cast the force field wall retracted his hand into the room, but Siegel had already caught it. Casting a non-destructive spell to an unclaimed location doesn't cost any points, and the force field wall doesn't cost the caster at all. However, it managed to isolate Siegel from safety, forcing him to face the possible wrath of the bug mage.

The account is down, Siegel thought. He turned around and faced the insect mage. He only has about 200 points now. If the opponent attacks, he has the means to counterattack. Before he fully recovered, Siegel had cast protective spells on himself, drawing his sword and staff, and getting ready for battle.

The Insect Mage got into the past clothes and jacket, twisted a few times and put on the clothes. Since his entire body is composed of worms, and there are various worms crawling on his face, his expression cannot be read at all. Whether it is war or peace, now needs to be decided by the insect mage.

He slowly picked up the mask from the ground, put it on his face~www.readwn.com~ and then began to put on gloves and organize his clothes. He showed no sign of releasing magic, and the fluctuations of the surrounding elements were normal. Even the communication field between those bugs could not be felt because of their restraint, but Siegel never dared to relax.

The Insect Mage stood still, staring at Siegel without saying a word. Behind the mask is a terrifying face, completely devoid of human form, but the mask has a serious face drawn, with raised eyebrows and a slightly parted mouth as if to say something.

"Today is your lucky day, and I don't want to fight with you anymore." The mask mage's voice was as sticky as ever, "But you can't be lucky all the time, especially when you're hanging out with Anna."

"It's not Anna who is blocking me with the force field wall, and in my opinion, if the elf and the insect mage choose one as an ally, I will definitely choose the elf." He said, "Can you tell me how you died just now?"

"This is a piece of information worth a thousand points," said Insect Master, "but in my opinion, this piece of information is not for sale."

After he finished speaking, he turned around quickly and walked to his room. When the door closed, Siegel realized that he was worried that he would break him up again! (To be continued.)
