Chapter 121 119. A preliminary exploration of magic
Landen still remembers that Gleia is engaged and does not dare to show too much initiative for fear that others or Gleia will misunderstand. For Landen now, the most important thing is to explore Night-Kirin City and let thousands of Territory Residents who originally lived on Gallop Plains be settled.
Genius classmates like Gleia are just like Liel·Arbor Great Fairy on Dragon Terrace Mountain. Although they look beautiful, they have little to do with themselves.
On the morning of Thursday, December 22, Landen arrived at the library early in the morning. He wanted to spend some time learning more about the magic of this world. He asked the administrator on the first floor for books on the principles of magic, and the administrator asked him to go to the fourth floor.
In his previous life, Landen lived for more than 30 years. He had read several novels and watched dozens of movies. In this life, he became Mana-Wielder, who could faintly detect magic and Battle Qi through his senses. However, his two lifetimes of life experience and knowledge could not tell him what magic was and what its characteristics were.
The fourth floor of Blue Dragon's library is very similar to the fifth floor that Landen visited. The outermost bookshelf is filled with ordinary books about magic. These books include ancient stone slabs, booklets made of animal skin paper, and exquisite printed books that Landen has seen before. Landen found almost 20 books.
In Landen's original expectation, these books could bring a general definition of magic, and in the future he could continue to verify the concepts in the books through his own practice.
However, what makes Landen incredible is that he found 20 books that gave him no less than 30 definitions of magic.
For example, the most dizzying carvings on the oldest stone tablet are described in the introduction paper on the side. The stone tablet records Demigod and "The Unique One"'s discussion of magic: Magic comes from the will of the Lord God, and all the gods in the world are the manifestations of the Lord God.
For example, the animal skin book of the Witch Sect records the oracle of Goddess of Witches. The entire world is composed of wind, fire, water, earth, wood, light and dark elements.
For example, a manuscript, based on the Magic String Demigod Leo oracle, believes that magic is the resonance of the soul's strings with the world's strings.
There is even a withered yellow leaf that says that the entire world is one life "Dominator", and every individual is "part of Dominator".
It can be said that the source of magic is the source of the world and the source of the power of gods. Therefore, every book that introduces magic is based on the oracle of a god or Demigod, and clearly explains the origin and composition of magic at the beginning.
In this world, gods really exist and can appear in the world, and their oracles are not only words, but also reflect the attitude of gods.
After briefly flipping through a few books with oracles, Landen felt that his head was swollen and painful, and his nose, eyes and ears were full of blood.
"Classmate? Are you okay?" A boy reading on the side suddenly shouted, "Come here quickly, this classmate has fainted."
Landen was in great pain at the moment. There was congestion in many parts of his body, which even made it difficult for him to breathe. In a daze, he could only see that the fourth-floor roof was getting farther and farther away from him, getting deeper and deeper, and the surrounding area was getting brighter and brighter.
The students gradually gathered around, calling themselves, but at this moment the only sounds that could be heard were breathing.
The distant sky seemed to be filled with endless murmurs, waves, smoke, lightning and thunder, as if countless powerful forces were constantly entangled and quarreled.
"His Majesty, please save the believer in front of you, point him in a new direction, and dispel the haze in front of him." When Landen was about to fall to the ground, he felt himself being caught by a pair of big hands, followed by a soft voice.
Immediately afterwards, Landen seemed to see a ray of light, his soul was surrounded by the holy light, and his body became warm.
"Go back." A warm current fell from the sky, as if a big hand was supporting him.
Amidst the bursts of sounds, Landen opened his eyes.
"Landen Viscount? Are you awake?" The first thing Landen saw was the concerned expression of Gleia·Blue Dragon.
As soon as she arrived at the library to read a book, she heard someone calling for help. She originally thought it was a student who lost control while casting a spell, but she didn't expect to see Landen fall to the ground.
"Mr. Viscount, I still recommend that you stay in school for one year. Even students who have just enrolled for half a year know that these books should not be read at the same time." Dragon Girl glanced around casually and roughly understood Landen's current situation.
How can a mortal define the origin of magic? Even Archmage can only allow himself to connect to Magic Web and feel the magic elements.
Those who truly understand magic are naturally those gods, especially the Witch God, God of Wizards and even Goddess of the Magic Web. The definition of Magic Web by these gods itself is their most fundamental doctrine. Therefore, opening the works of multiple gods in a short period of time is equivalent to one Temple on the front foot and another Temple on the back foot.
If it were an ordinary Mana-Less, it wouldn't actually have much impact. However, Landen's soul is particularly sensitive to Gao Wei's gaze.
Fortunately, Landen is not the first daredevil to compare two or two copies of the oracle. In order to protect these students who are most thirsty for magic, the school library has also installed a large number of requiem and concentration Magic Array in the library just in case.
"Even Archmage probably wouldn't dare to think of reading the oracles of the gods like this." Gleia said with a smile, "For the gods, magic is magic, but they put their own perspective on the oracles and become a channel for their followers to understand magic.
Just like the observation hole opened on a door, the scene in the magic Mage house, the location of each hole is different, but the content after the hole is the same.
Now you just want to see the hole at the bottom of the door with one eye, and the other eye wants to see the hole at the top of the door, and you are screwing yourself up."
Landen understood what Gleia meant, so he borrowed a metaphor from a previous life, "I saw several huge tubes in the holes under the door, a pair of huge white teeth in the holes next to the door lock, and a slender tail in the hole near the hinge. If I didn't look at the holes in different parts, how would I know there was an elephant behind it?"
"Hahaha, your metaphor is very vivid." There is no allusion to the blind man touching the elephant in this world, but there is a very similar proverb, "You are just a beginner now, it is good if you can see the inside of the door through the small hole, don't be too greedy.
When you connect to Magic Web and feel the magic firsthand, you will understand today's metaphor."
Landen has nothing to do now, so Gleia naturally has to leave. Before leaving, Gleia gave Landen a textbook called <Record of Famous Mages>, is a book that enlightens Magic Apprentice. It also mentions the definition and origin of magic, but it does not trace it back to gods, but lists the views of various magic schools and sects in the form of schools.
Landen was very grateful, but the book was not thin. Landen felt that he might not be able to read it today, so he went to the first floor to check out the book.
Fortunately, as Landen is a court noble of the Royal Palace, it is very convenient to borrow an ordinary book. He can return it at any time within a year. Even if he cannot exchange it, he can pay some money to the Blue Dragon Family as compensation.
