Chapter 7 The Wizarding Field
Putting down the "Summary of Basic Occult Knowledge", Quins once again picked up the "Overview of the Wizard Apprentice". As a wizard apprentice, what he needs more is the mysterious knowledge of wizards.
For an hour, Quins read the "Overview of the Sorcerer's Apprentice" in detail. In addition to some overlap with the "Outline of Basic Occult Knowledge", "The Overview of the Sorcerer's Apprentice" also introduced many common meditation methods.
, rituals, secret medicines, rare objects and some knowledge in practice. The last part also introduces several secrets, elementalists (feng shui fire and earth), steam program, golden touch, secret medicine master, and the power of alchemy.
It is a very common school of esotericism.
Four of the elementalist secrets are pure wizard secrets, the Steam Program, the Midas Touch, the Mystic Alchemist, and the Power of Alchemy. Five of them are wizards, general secrets on the bloodline side.
The Midas Touch, Mystic Medicine Master and Alchemy Power are purely auxiliary professions. If you choose these three secrets, the combat power of the extraordinary person will be relatively low.
Among them, the Midas Touch is even jokingly called a money-making profession. It doesn’t even have the slightest bit of combat effectiveness. The secret skill of level 1 is called the Midas touch, and the magic of levels 2 to 3 can turn all kinds of waste stones into various forms.
Rare minerals, gems, etc. that are worth far more than gold.
In fact, none of these secrets have content beyond the 4th level. It is not incomplete, but no one created them at all later. This kind of secrets is the most common in the mysterious world. It is the secret that can truly be practiced from the 1st to the 9th level.
Except for the secret transmission of truth and the secret transmission of myths, only a few of the top secret transmissions among the schools of secret transmission can practice to level 7 or above.
There are even some rubbish secrets that only have 2 rings. The most famous one, which is even semi-public in the mysterious world, is the secret secret of fireball. The first ring is small fireball, and the second ring is large fireball. The two rings increase each other, and can even make big fireballs.
When it is emitted, multiple small fireballs will condense around it, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary 3-ring fire witchcraft.
Anyone who has a little bit of pursuit will practice this kind of esoteric teaching, occupying the 1 to 2 level esoteric skills. If you can get a good esoteric skill in the future, it will be too late and you can't practice it from scratch.
, the power of the incomplete secret message will naturally be greatly reduced.
In addition, Quines also compared the advantages and disadvantages of his six-crystal pillar meditation method and traditional meditation method in detail.
He found that the six-crystal pillar meditation method had many shortcomings compared to the traditional meditation method. First, because the spiritual core was divided into six, the size of a single spiritual core was far smaller than that of an ordinary wizard. Therefore, when carving witchcraft, each
The core can only be engraved with one witchcraft. In other words, each level of the six-crystal pillar meditation method only has 6 witchcraft slots, neither more nor less.
What's slightly better is that both the core witchcraft and the ordinary witchcraft in the esoteric tradition are only counted as one witchcraft position. As far as the witchcraft position is concerned, it is in an awkward situation of being more than the upper, less than the lower.
Due to the six-crystal column meditation method, Quines does not have to practice only one secret tradition like traditional wizards. However, since each spiritual core can only be engraved with one witchcraft, he is destined to be unable to practice it.
Of the complete secrets, this one is the most disadvantageous to him. In the best case, he can only complete 6 incomplete secrets, if he can get 6 secrets.
Let’s talk about advantages. The biggest advantage of the six-crystal pillar meditation method is also the biggest feature of the six-crystal pillar meditation method, that is, each ring can generate 8 witchcraft cards. This alone overshadows all other meditation methods.
Disadvantages. Moreover, the six-crystal pillar meditation method has one more link than the ordinary meditation method. It can
At the apprentice level of level 0, one can also break rings and condense them. For ordinary wizards, this is just a matter of a few more witchcraft slots for level 0, and there is nothing remarkable about it. But when it comes to the six-crystal pillar meditation method
, it’s not just a matter of 6 witchcraft slots, but 8 more witchcraft cards.
After comparison, Quins felt that if the six-crystal pillar meditation method was practiced properly, it would be far beyond the expected traditional meditation methods and esoteric teachings. It would not be a problem. As for the esoteric teachings of truth and esoteric myths, he had never seen them before.
, there is no way to compare it with it.
In general, the six-crystal pillar meditation method that came with him is still very promising, and currently he only understands the apprentice-level part, and it is not clear what greater advantages it will have in the future.
Let's put it aside for now. From this day on, Quins devoted himself to three months of study. Among the two underground floors, the second floor has a specially set up small shooting range, trial ground, public alchemy room, etc.
In addition to learning occult knowledge from old Schmidt every once in a while, Quins would spend time at the shooting range on the second floor practicing marksmanship. In the past, the Investigation Department would have specially sent people to teach Quins fighting skills and marksmanship.
.And now, only on the first day, old Schmidt went down to the second floor to teach him some basic points of gun training. As for fighting skills, he didn't even hand them in. He threw away a book on military fighting skills and a book on steam firearms.
Give it to Quins and that'll be it.
However, this is at Quince's whim. He has practiced secret sword skills and will more or less reveal some traces during the fight. Now no one cares about him, which makes it easier for him to hide his identity.
After reading the Encyclopedia of Steam Guns, Quins couldn't help but admire the steam technology developed in this era. In the past, he was only trained as an assassin, and steam firearms were not among his training subjects. After replacing Quinn,
, as a patrol police officer, I can only use batons, and I have at least a rough understanding of steam firearms.
After actually getting his hands on it, he realized that steam firearms were different from the gunpowder guns he knew. Their bullets actually used a special method to compress a large amount of vapor and fix them in the bullets. This was completely unparalleled.
The craftsmanship of gunpowder bullets. After triggering the firing pin, the sound emitted by steam firearms is also different from that of gunpowder guns. It is dull and powerful, and the recoil force is slightly greater than that of gunpowder guns.
Ordinary steam bullets have little effect on extraordinary creatures, but the Investigation Section distributes extraordinary bullets to each member of the department every month. This is one of the reasons why Quins practices steam firearms.
However, those who can truly maximize the power of steam firearms must be extraordinary people who practice the secret tradition of steam style. The secret steam program is a secret tradition owned by the Investigation Department that specializes in the practice of extraordinary steam.
In addition to allowing the power of one's own blood to have steam properties, it can also exert the extraordinary power of various steam-like wonders.
Quins heard from old Schmidt that the member of the Gerst station who was still performing tasks abroad was practicing the secret secrets of the Steam Program. Almost all steam equipment can be used to practice the extraordinary secrets of this secret.
In the hands of those who exert extraordinary power.
Outside of training, Quins eagerly absorbed all the occult knowledge thrown at him by the old Schmidt. "Basic Encyclopedia of Monsters", "Basic Occult Medicine", "Overview of Common Professions and Esoteric Traditions", "Good and Evil"
"The Mystery of Witchcraft", "Basic Meditation Method - Water Drops", "Summary of Analysis Methods of the 0-ring Witchcraft Model", "Witchcraft Geometry" and the most important to Quines, "Initial Interpretation of 0-ring Witchcraft".
There are only 4 0-ring witchcraft models in "First Interpretation of 0-ring witchcraft", including specific model analysis methods, geometric deformation techniques, engraving methods and key points to note, etc.
Therefore, the two witchcraft enlightenment books "Summary of Analytical Methods of the 0-Ring Witchcraft Model" and "Witchcraft Geometry" are particularly important. Originally, the other water drop meditation method was more precious than other books, but it was placed under the guidance of Quinn.
This is just a reference. After reading the water droplets, Quines gained a little more confidence and affirmation in his previous conclusions about the lack of traditional meditation methods and the six-crystal pillar meditation method.
There are 4 witchcrafts recorded in the first explanation of 0-level witchcraft, namely witchcraft vision, reading, witchcraft and identification.
Among them, witchcraft spiritual vision can give the wizard a psychic vision in his eyes, which is similar to the psychic induction that Quines can use instinctively after awakening. It is just that it is clearer and more controllable than psychic induction. It can see some things that ordinary people cannot.
Things you see, such as ghosts, weirdness, etc.
This witchcraft is a must-have for novice wizards. After careful consideration, Quines decided to choose witchcraft clairvoyance as the first witchcraft model.
The next reading skill, this witchcraft allows practitioners to read text faster and understand the meaning of various runes and inscriptions.
Witchcraft tricks, this witchcraft is the most practical among 0-level witchcraft. It can do all kinds of things that are incredible to ordinary people. It is similar to the effect of magic. In fact, it is true. The only difference is that witchcraft tricks are not
Props are needed.
The final identification technique is a witchcraft that can initially identify item information. It is a good auxiliary witchcraft in the early stage of the wizard. All things are spiritual. This saying is widely spread in the mysterious world, which can better explain the operation of the identification technique.
principle.
Generally speaking, there is a consensus in the mysterious world that whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, the greater the spirituality contained in its core, the more powerful it is. As far as living things are concerned, the top level of spirituality is undoubtedly God, whether it is a good god or an evil god.
If this is the case, then there are extraordinary intelligent creatures, then there are extraordinary creatures, then there are ordinary intelligent creatures, and finally there are non-intelligent creatures.
In terms of items, the legendary artifacts are spiritually powerful and deeply hidden, not inferior to intelligent creatures. Next are various levels of strange objects, then antiques that have accumulated over time, and finally mortal objects. The principle of identification is
It can collect the spiritual information naturally emitted by objects, organize it in a certain way, and present it to the wizard in a way that the wizard can understand.
From this point of view, the identification technique is simply a heaven-defying witchcraft, but unfortunately, the spiritual information that can be collected by the 0-level identification technique is only the surface layer of spirituality, and the spiritual information in it is all superficial. Those who want to go deep into the core of the collection
Spiritual information is simply impossible.
There are even some items that contain powerful spirituality. Their surface is covered with layers of spiritual information, and there is a lot of junk information attached to them by the minds of the world. Even if some false information is collected, it is very common.
Therefore, in the field of wizards, those who believe in the identification technique are all fools. They cannot go far in the profession of wizards. Even after the identification technique, there are a series of advanced witchcraft identification techniques, identification techniques, and authenticity identification techniques.
You can’t trust all the magic. The wizard will only say that as the identification system of witchcraft becomes more and more advanced, the information collected by the witchcraft becomes more and more comprehensive, and it goes deeper and deeper into the core of the item. As for the authenticity of it,
It can only be discerned by the wizard himself.
After deeply understanding the principles and functions of the four 0-ring witchcraft, Quines determined the order of learning the four witchcrafts. The first is naturally the witchcraft and spiritual vision. As a person with some background as a time traveler, he naturally knows the importance of information acquisition.
Sex, if he wants to hit someone, he must first see the other person. After entering this mysterious world, he will encounter more and more enemies that are invisible to the naked eye in the future. Then there are witchcraft tricks, the most practical witchcraft.
Naturally, we cannot let go of the art of identification, and of course the art of identification is also very important.
The analysis and engraving of 0-level witchcraft is very easy compared to 1-level witchcraft. According to old Schmidt, the analysis of 1-level witchcraft model is exponentially more difficult than that of 0-level witchcraft. It is completely a matter of heaven and earth.
differences in land.
After understanding this, Quines became more determined to analyze and engrave witchcraft in the future, even if he wastes some time on it. If he wants to go long on the path of witchcraft, the beginning is very important. He has to do it for
After that, a solid foundation will be laid for the learning of 1st level witchcraft. If you suddenly switch from 1st level witchcraft to
Starting from the difficulty level, Quines, as a novice, will definitely pay more in the world for this. After all, there are only 6 opportunities to engrave 0-level witchcraft, and they are unique 6 times. Such a precious practice opportunity, in
