Arcane Lord

In addition to building houses, there was of course the research and development of new brick-making techniques. Chateau also asked Leiden to pay attention at all times and notify him immediately as soon as there was any news. He himself returned to the small camp and devoted himself to magic research.

In the previous projection plane, Sha Duo projected into an elf again. Although he did not focus on magic research because of the search for a mithril refining method, and the training as a swordsinger was delayed, it still took a year.

During this year, Sha Duo completed the study of "Advanced Arcane Geometry" by combining more than ten 4-level spell books, and gained an extremely deep understanding of the principles of magic.

He has mastered all of the [Short-distance Teleportation], [Dimensional Anchor], [Detection], and [Detection and Detection] contained in the more than ten spell books. This time when he returned to the Tower of Time, Shado borrowed them from the library. Wrote more than ten books.

Among them is a book called "A Brief Analysis of the Structure and Usage of Fireball Technique". Xia Duo has been coveting it for a long time, but the third level [Fireball Technique] is indeed very powerful for ordinary people, but for mages, it is not a A relatively clever spell.

Pure destruction is very simple. The most direct method is to guide the impact of negative energy, which is much more damaging than [Fireball]. However, negative energy is okay when playing games, but it is not necessary 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 was deducing a quick method like the Plasticization Mage.

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

In Xia Duo's eyes, the role of magic lies more in creation. If you just throw out a ball of energy and just 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 something fancy like this. Adjusting measures to local conditions is what a qualified mage should do.

The choice of [Fireball] this time is actually just to fulfill a dream I had in the past - what kind of mage is a mage if he can't even do fireball?

Of course, Xia Duo does not have such a superficial understanding now, but he does not laugh at or avoid himself in the past. People's cognition is always updated and iterated. Only by facing the past can we have a better future. future.

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

This is actually a process from specialization to broad knowledge.

In the past, Xia Duo upgraded too quickly. Although he seemed to be steadily on the path to advance as an arcanist, 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 now.

Xia Duo has the mature consciousness of an adult, so naturally he will not be too paranoid. He must be almost advanced and have a deep foundation before he can upgrade to the next step.

Magic is different from the cultivation novels I read before time travel. In those cultivation 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 can go back on his word at any time if he wants.

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

After basically confirming that becoming an Arcanist was no longer a problem, Sha Duo was about to start making longer-term plans.

Just like it is impossible to go to college and then remediate the basics of high school, it is not worthwhile in terms of time efficiency. College should do college things, and try to complete what can be completed in high school.

Of course, if you really have some regrets, they won’t be irreparable in the future. In theory, it’s not too late to learn knowledge before you die.

Maybe you will have an "epiphany" and "ascend" instantly!

Of course there is such a chance, but for systematic magic, it is almost non-existent, 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" it all at once.

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

…

Next, Xia Duo's main research is the "Deep Magic Network". However, the essence of the Magic Network is actually pure theory, and the Nese 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, improve, and summarize the theory.

In this process, Xia Duo was preparing to first contact the fifth level of the magic network, become a high-level mage, and master real long-distance teleportation. This was also his plan before entering the projection plane.

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

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

The most critical step in becoming an advanced arcanist is to seize the essence of the magic network and generate arcane fire.

What is ultimately combined with the arcane fire is the extension of the soul, or will; and if you want to seize the essence of the magic network, you also need the support of a strong will.

If the soul cannot be sensed, the will cannot be clear, and even if the arcane fire is successfully born, it will ultimately have nowhere to place it, let alone connect it to the magic network to stabilize its existence.

At present, Xia Duo's progress in this area is relatively slow. She has communicated with Niya before. She had been exposed to the magic network before she became an adult. When she reached adulthood at the age of sixteen, she began to undergo advanced concentration training. This is better than Jue Most mages start much earlier.

What Sha Duo is doing now is advanced concentration training, basic concentration training, just to allow ordinary people to come into contact with the magic network and become mage apprentices. In fact, many people complete this step automatically before they reach adulthood.

There are many people in Savile Town who can cast magic as soon as they reach adulthood. Of course, they are limited to [magic tricks] with very few elements.

It's a pity that magic doesn't favor talent, it prefers wisdom.

These people have a good start, but in the end they are lost to everyone. 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 is still progressing unswervingly.

Although there are no specific values ​​that tell him how much his will is now and what percentage of his soul perception progress is, he can clearly see that he is making progress through the completion of focused training.

Moreover, you can also roughly estimate your overall progress.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be achievements in the main plane within a year.

(What enters the projection plane is only the projection of the body, which cannot play a real role in exercise. It is similar to the reason why it cannot be upgraded, but there is no problem in acquiring knowledge and you can go in to gain experience.)
