"Long time no see, Teacher Serophi."
Seeing this teacher who had been absent for more than two years, Sylutia respectfully bowed and saluted to express welcome.
"Long time no see, Tia." The elegant scholar nodded and looked at the surroundings with curiosity.
"The air here is very good, the environment is elegant, and it is a good place to do research."
"Thank you for the compliment, teacher. It would be even better if you stayed here. I would welcome you very much."
"Haha, I'll probably trouble you for a while. I'm indeed very interested in this area." He nodded with a smile.
"Sit down, don't be too restrained, Tia is a big shot now."
"The teacher is teasing me again." Sylutia smiled and shook his head, then sat down opposite the other party.
"How have you been studying during this time? As far as I know, you have been quite busy in the past two years."
"It's true as you said, I'm afraid I missed a lot of courses." Sylutia replied slightly embarrassed.
"I also want to ask you to make up some extra lessons for me this time."
"Haha, no problem, feel free to ask for it. As long as I know how to do it, I will definitely give it to you."
Afterwards, the two discussed the progress of Sylutia, as well as the subsequent study plan and time schedule.
"Since you are here this time, I remember that I promised you before that if you enter the third level, I will teach you a spell called "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power. This time I will teach you the spell "False Bouquet." Serophi said about the encouragement at that time.
"Teacher still remembers it." Sylutia was slightly surprised.
"Of course, I am a scholar of "Secret Speech"Aspect Power. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I couldn't remember this." He commented that Sylutia had forgotten the characteristics of each Aspect Power profession.
"Secret Speech" Aspect Power's concepts and abilities are mostly related to "knowledge", "history", "memory", "writing" and "code". Their memory will be strengthened when Aspect Power is upgraded. At high levels, they almost all have instant memory and photographic memory. They can be said to be walking humanoid libraries.
After hearing Serophi talk about teaching "False Bouquet" the spell, Sylutia gradually became curious about this spell ability and began to ask.
"What is the difference between spells and the abilities we commonly use?"
"You are very keen. Spells are indeed very different from abilities." The knowledgeable scholar began to introduce Sylutia.
"Even based on the main direction of attack, we can roughly divide it into three major systems: "Wizard", "Mage" and "scholar"."
"Most of the spells used by Wizard have an ancient history, and their earliest origin may be the ability of some powerful creatures."
"For example, the ancient Wizard met "Phoenix", a powerful creature born in flames and capable of wielding monstrous flames."
"Envious of Phoenix's power, Wizard began to try to obtain this power. Their initial thought was to transplant blood and make themselves "Phoenix", but this was extremely difficult and impossible."
"Later, they imitated the body structure of Phoenix, conducted anatomical research on Phoenix, and recorded the blood veins and veins in it."
"If you copy this blood vein pattern onto human flesh and blood, even if the effect is less than one percent of Phoenix, you will still gain power. This method was very popular in the early days. Even now, you may have heard that Shaman in some remote areas would use a knife to carve the battle patterns of beasts on their warriors to gain powerful power."
"After initially gaining this power, Wizard gradually became familiar with it, discovered and summarized the rhythmic principles, and further refined it. This is the ancient rune engraving."
"The descendant Wizard went a step further and used these rune engravings as a basis to build a spell model that did not rely on entities at all, and obtained a spell prototype."
"The prototypes of such spells are often very rough and must be continuously studied and improved through the ages before they are finally promoted. The imprints of these spell models are often the secrets of various schools in that era and will never be taught to the outside world." Serophi explained in detail.
"Up to this point, it should be easy to understand." Serophi looked at Sylutia, saw her nodding, and then continued to talk.
"However, there is no limit to man's pursuit of power. The ancient Wizard people gradually began to have differences in the subsequent development of the spell."
"Some people hope that the power of spells will be as powerful as possible, and even hope to create spells that are more extremely powerful than the original ones. The casters under this idea are the "Wizard" and "Witch" that you and I are familiar with."
"Another group of people have different ideas. They believe that a single powerful force often cannot adapt to complex survival and combat. If they can flexibly switch combinations, they can achieve unexpected effects and create brand-new abilities that have never appeared in the world."
"Following this line of thought, they continued to delve into the secrets of runes and built more complex and sophisticated spell models. They also began to discuss the standards of runes, which meant that the size, shape, and specifications of all runes were completely determined so that spells from different schools could learn from each other. This is just like the standard scale of the craftsman industry."
"Compared to Wizard, their spells are often less powerful, but they are particularly flexible and can be switched easily. The caster with this idea is the "Mage" you occasionally hear about."
"Although the last group of people are also spellcasters, they do not focus entirely on spell models. They only need a few spells with specific effects, so they also create spell templates and can switch to a certain extent. However, the flexibility is not as good as Mage, and the power is not as powerful as Wizard. It is a compromise between the two."
"This kind of compromise brings many disadvantages. For example, it is difficult to improve the spell model and cannot be easily iterated like the other two. However, the advantage is that it only needs to learn specific knowledge, takes up less slots, and consumes less energy. It is very suitable for "scholars" who need a certain ability to protect themselves, but are unwilling to invest a lot of slots."
"The spells you learned in the Woodland are basically the secrets of each school, that is, the spells of the "Wizard" system. They are not related to each other, cannot be used universally, and are powerful."
"Powerful?" Sylutia tilted his head.
"Yes, as a gardener, you have also studied "Vine Overgrowth", right?" Serophi asked with interest.
"Yes."
"Then can you crush the stone with the vines?"
"I can do it at level three." Sylutia nodded.
"Do you think this is abnormal?" Serophi responded with a smile.
"If you think about it again, since your vines can crush rocks, wouldn't it be that difficult to strangle a Knight of the same level to death?"
"Like, yes."
"Don't you find this strange? Knight is often at the forefront of the same level of power, a powerful individual that can compete with the same level of beasts, but it can be tied up with vines by a gardener of the same level and incapacitated."
"They focused on improving their strength and combat skills, but they were defeated by your single ability. Don't you think this is unfair?"
"There are so many." Sylutia thought thoughtfully.
"Of course, your own talent is also an exception. Other gardeners of the same level will definitely not be able to do it as easily as you." Serophi completed.
"But this does not affect the overall situation. As a gardener of the same level, being able to tie Knight with vines is actually quite extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, since you focus on gardening, other aspects are definitely not as good as Class who focuses on this."
"But surprisingly, you can indeed do it. This is the effect of continuous iteration of spell abilities and specialization, which is powerful."
"For Mage of the same level, it will be very difficult for him to directly trap a Knight. The spells he casts such as "Binding Ring" are often violently broken by Knight of the same level, and can only last for a short time."
"However, Mage often has many methods. He can flexibly change it, such as creating an extremely smooth surface, making this Knight difficult to move and fall down repeatedly, achieving the same purpose of trapping people."
After listening to Serophi's narration, Sylutia nodded slightly and gradually understood.
"But how do they change their spells flexibly?" the girl was curious.
"I will give you another metaphor, and you will understand it soon." Serophi faced the smart student with a smile on his lips.
"Wizard is like an exquisite scepter carved entirely from tree roots. Sturdiness is durable and powerful."
"Mage is like a scepter made of hundreds of building blocks. It is flexible, fragile and omnipotent. He can also turn the building blocks into swords, shields, houses, armor, tables and chairs, etc."
"A scholar is like a scepter made of six parts. It is more reliable than the Mage used by Wizard, but not as good as the Sturdiness used by Wizard. However, the six parts can be assembled into a chair for resting. It can be used for two purposes, which saves money and materials."
"When Wizard enters the third level, it will condense its own spell according to Core Secret Art. When this spell is used, it will often obtain powerful effects that exceed those of the same level."
"For example, "Dead Ember", "Aspect Power" and "Dark Wizard", some choose "Wailing Lament" as the core secret spell. When this spell is cast, it can tear the souls of creatures of the same level. It is astonishingly powerful."
"But some Mage of "Gold Steam" Aspect Power choose "Spell Furnace" as the core secret method. During combat, you only need to reproduce the spell model recorded in the spell book in "Spell Furnace" to cast the spell."
"Spell Furnace is the box full of building blocks, and the spell model is the installation guide. When Mage casts a spell, just stack the blocks according to the guide to achieve the effect."
"As for the scholar "Castle" Aspect Power, he only has three fixed-shaped stones, and the spells he can splice are extremely limited, but the effect is indeed better than Mage."
"Now you understand the specific differences between the three." Serophi finished talking about the differences between the three major systems of magic.
"Now I understand." Sylutia nodded clearly.
"Very good, now I can start teaching you the spell "False Bouquet". It is a spell under the scholar system. It is not as powerful as the spell under the Wizard system. But the advantage is that you can adjust the effect type according to the use of "flowers", and you can also convert the blessing effect into a curse later..."
In the empty classroom, Sylutia listened carefully to the teacher's teachings and began to learn a brand new spell.
