Chapter 9 Promotion
In that maze-like corridor, Xiao En has regained consciousness.
“Destiny is a concept.”
“If this concept is taken away by people, then the part of the world that belongs to this concept will be polluted, such as the human lost Knowledge, the distorted reproduction method of human beings, and even the normal birth, aging, illness and death of human beings."
Xiao En didn't get much information at the moment, because the last spell casting was interrupted, and he only read the black book. one-half of.
"Knowledge is contaminated. Knowledge is a living thing."
"Mysterious knowledge is even more dangerous, hiding madness and disorder, just like a virus."
While using reading magic When he mastered the mysterious knowledge, Xiao En felt madness and pain in his heart, as if the mysterious knowledge wanted to corrode his brain, and there was a risk of insanity if he was not careful.
His current situation is very dangerous.
Because of his amazing inspirational talent, all the 'indescribable illusions' want to get him.
Now Xiao En must learn to use his own knowledge to re-understand this weird world.
Because this is the first step to becoming a spellcaster.
"Understand the world in my own way."
"Complete the promotion."
Xiao En murmured to himself: "Then in my eyes, What is this world like? ”
Lady Hecate was very generous.
As a teacher, if others are still teaching apprentices how to master a certain spell or ability, then Ms. Hecate has already handed Xiao En the general outline of the promotion of extraordinary people, that is, recognition Know this world and know where the source of extraordinary power lies.
Use your own knowledge to re-understand the world, and finally obtain the caster's original magic power in the promotion ceremony.
“Don’t know too much, because you will go crazy and die.”
“But don’t know too little, because you will be blind and foolish.” Many of Ms. Hecate’s words are mysterious and obscure.
So you need to guess by yourself?
As a flash of light appeared in front of him, Xiao En saw the butcher waiting outside the door, like a mountain of meat.
"Let's go." The butcher nodded slightly.
When passing the long air corridor again, the butcher said solemnly: "From now on, you will work in the morning every day, and you can come to Ms. Hecate in the afternoon."
"Generally She is always free in the afternoon.”
"If you need anything, you can tell me and I will prepare it for you."
"Of course, the cost will be deducted from your salary."
Xiao En nodded lightly and said: "Yeah."
The two people returned to the original place again, and the butcher prepared another small room for Xiao En.
“You can go about your business now.”
"Let's have dinner in an hour and a half." The butcher took off the blood-stained apron on the wall. On the iron shelf not far away, there was something covered with black cloth, like a huge mountain of meat.
He needs a job now.
Inside the room.
Shaun is still thinking about how to be promoted to a real spell caster, or he is trying to re-understand the world in his own way.
Ms. Hecate gave him a lot of things, but unfortunately he cannot fully grasp them yet.
"Knowledge will teach you magic."
Just this sentence is enough for Xiao En to ponder for a long time.
“The first step for a spellcaster to gain power is to re-understand the world and then get feedback from the world.”
“This is the original magic.”
“ The closer everything is perceived to the essence of the world, the more dangerous it is, but the stronger the feedback is.”
Xiao En groped around in the room and found a piece of white paper, a quill pen, and ink. He scribbled something on the white paper and murmured: "Understand the world."
"This world should have been normal."
He began to recall the knowledge he read in the black books. Those words were engraved in his mind and could be recalled at any time.
This way of learning is very convenient, but the process is not easy.
At least for now, the magic that Xiao En sees in this world is not something that can be accomplished by chanting a spell loudly and then consuming some magic power.
"A mysterious world with relatively high civilization. In addition to humans, there are other races."
"Well, it's a bit like a mysterious fantasy country."
Xiao En was aware of the restlessness of knowledge, because the scribbles he scribbled, the symbols representing knowledge, swam on the white paper, like tadpoles gathered in ink, possessing their own life and spirituality.
But when he looked at it again, the graffiti was still the original graffiti.
"Mysterious knowledge." Xiao En's expression gradually became solemn.
Once mysterious knowledge is written down, it will be endowed with life and spirituality. Xiao En just murmured to himself, and the words that flashed through his mind are all mysterious knowledge.
This knowledge is the secret of the world and can only be read by extraordinary people.
For example, in the eyes of ordinary people, these random graffiti by Xiao En are just messy graffiti, but in the eyes of extraordinary people, they are the words that flashed in Xiao En's mind. This is very idealistic.
Because the mysterious knowledge that Xiao En understands cannot be understood from the text symbols that can be seen with the naked eye.
They are obscured by blindness and ignorance.
"Then."
"The indescribable ancient being knew this world."
Xiao En felt that he needed a little imagination now, and Ms. Hecate only told He recognized the world and gained primitive magic power, but he didn't tell him how to recognize it. He just threw him a book and let him think about it on his own.
Is this a crazy world with supernatural powers?
This understanding is obviously not enough.
It is not enough to support Xiao En to become a transcendent and obtain the original magic power to cast magic.
“They descended into this world.”
“In other words, their will entered this world, and then the turbulent era began.” Xiao En began to recall what he had read with reading magic. I was looking for information about the turbulent times, but unfortunately there was not much.
The graffiti written by Xiao En is changing again.
"In the turbulent era, due to the advent of these ancient indescribable things, the order of the world gradually collapsed, and civilization moved towards decline and madness."
Xiao En could only use conjectures to fill in the missing content as much as possible.
He always has a feeling now that his promotion ceremony may be different from others, because Ms. Hecate seems to be asking him to do a history question, asking him to complete his understanding of the world from history. .
It’s a pity that I didn’t finish the book.
“The Dark Ages are coming, and the ancient ones have further entered this world. They have taken away the destiny of this world, or some corresponding conceptual laws. The old world is gradually heading towards destruction, and other The race was wiped out, and humans were the only survivors.”
"The world was transformed into a crazy country suitable for the settlement of evil things, so they said that the world had fallen."
"The weird country was born."
Xiao En felt it.
In the slight numbness of his scalp, he felt a little cold and smooth breath, as if invisible tentacles brushed his body, giving him a layer of goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't explain it clearly. What it was, but it entered his body bit by bit.
This may be the original magic power that Ms. Hecate said, the feedback the world gives to the caster, and the source of all supernatural powers.
But it feels a little gross.
"The power of all extraordinary beings is stolen. The warrior steals the source of life from the filth of flesh and blood, and the caster steals the original magic power from the illusion of knowledge."
This is the original magic power. !
Xiao En feels very sick now, because the original magic power gives him the feeling like an invisible spiritual tentacle, sweeping across his body unconsciously, as if the mysterious knowledge and Xiao En are interacting with each other. The knowledge of the world attracts it.
“This is definitely not the magic that a fantasy country should have!”
"At least the magic power shouldn't be like this!"
The original magic power has entered Xiao En's body. It has life, but it has no spirituality. Compared with the living knowledge, the original magic power should be used. To describe it, it is not active and does not feel any emotional awareness.
When Xiao En read the black book, he felt pain and madness. Those were the emotions left over by the person who wrote the book when he recorded mysterious knowledge.
But there is no original magic power, and its thinking consciousness seems to be that of a single-celled animal.
The original magic power is extremely huge!
Chaos, disorder, madness, ignorance, weirdness, Xiao En didn't know what words to use to describe this behemoth.
It has no entity.
Xiao En could only feel the vague existence of original magic power, as if it were a huge unconscious spiritual body covering the entire world.
“We are thieves.”
Xiao En now understands what Ms. Hecate said. He needs to steal his own extraordinary power from this behemoth.
ceremony.
Xiao En began to arrange the ceremony. He used torn pieces of paper to arrange a net around himself, a large net with a diameter of about three meters. Xiao En stood in the center of the grid. . Ms. Hecate said that the first ritual for a spellcaster's promotion is the simplest. It only requires the use of an ancient ritual called the 'Magic Web' to weave materials containing mysterious knowledge.
The graffiti Xiao En just wrote is mysterious knowledge.
Buzz!
As the ceremony arranged by Xiao En was completed, the torn pieces of paper began to ignite with deep purple flames, and pieces of mysterious knowledge swam like tadpoles. They gathered into woven black runes. It was like a huge dark spider web, catching and cutting the invisible tentacles that brushed across Xiao En's body.
"Touch of immortality."
"Detect emotions."
"Hand of secret magic."
Xiao En finally understood Ms. Hecate's knowledge Will teach you what magic means, because in the invisible tentacles cut by the 'net', he gained knowledge, new mysterious knowledge, and the extraordinary power imprinted in it.
The melted original magic power poured into Xiao En's body. The magic power seemed like a gray mist, wrapped in mysterious knowledge, and poured into the depths of his brain with his breathing.
——"The hand of secret magic!"
The quill in front of Xiao En's sight was picked up, as if an invisible hand appeared. When he moved slightly in confusion, he saw a big black hand exuding a ghostly aura stretching out from his back. The invisible hand was holding the quill on the table. , drew a five-pointed star on the blank paper.
