Eric explained: "The so-called basic rune is the rune that represents the most origin and essence of a certain element. It can be regarded as the ultimate expression of a certain element. Currently, we have found four in total."
"Their birth is very accidental, but it may also be a certain necessity for our Arcane Empire!"
"Many great arcanists have speculated that each element should have a corresponding basic rune, but so far, except for the four types of fire, water, wind, and earth, we have been unable to find other basic runes.
"
"Because this knowledge involves the most fundamental mysteries of the world, it is absolutely forbidden to be transmitted to outsiders. This is why you need to sign a strict contract before learning."
After listening to Eric's explanation, Lando had been fully aroused in his interest in the basic runes, and he waited expectantly for Eric to start teaching.
Eric smiled slightly, opened the small box he carried with him, and four faint waves of elements immediately rippled out.
These four strange crystals are impressively stored in the small box. There is a symbol in each crystal that shimmers with elemental light.
Eric clicked lightly, and four crystals appeared in the air at once.
"These are the four known foundation runes. You can take a closer look at how they differ from other runes."
Lando first looked at the four runes, and then focused on the first rune representing fire.
It's not gorgeous and complicated, and it's completely different from the basic runes he knows, but just looking at it, there's a perfect feeling, as if it represents the 'fire' itself in the world.
Suddenly Lando was stunned for a moment. He closed his eyes. The Fire Foundation rune that had been clearly engraved in his mind suddenly began to become blurry and soon disappeared. Only then did he notice that the other three
I only took a look at it, and the basic runes that I didn't have a deep impression on had long since disappeared from my mind.
"What is this?!" Lando asked doubtfully.
"The foundation runes represent the origin of the universe. They are not allowed to be born in the world. Once they appear, they will be erased by the instinctive power of the world. Only blank crystals like this can preserve them." Eric said.
"Then how do I learn them?" Lando asked curiously.
"This is actually very simple. After the third stage arcanist completes the third mental construction, the solidity of the mental space can be comparable to that of the new world, and the basic runes engraved in it will not be discovered by external rules and erased.
Before the third spiritual construction, arcanists need a special arcana to learn. It is called the spiritual world. It can condense a small space in the spiritual space and play the same role as the third spiritual construction.
The spirit builds the same effect as the arcanist." Eric explained.
Lando nodded, indicating that he had no doubts.
Seeing this, Eric said: "Then let's get started!"
…………
"...The basic rune is one of the most original expressions of elements. Owning it means that you can mobilize the most essential aspect of this element, and at the same time, this element in heaven and earth will be completely used by you."
"As for their specific use methods, I won't go into details so as not to disturb your thinking."
During the learning process, Eric's voice kept coming, telling Lando the special features of this basic rune.
The arcana of the spiritual world was very simple for Lando, and it didn't take long to learn it. After that, the process of inscribing the basic runes went on step by step, without any surprises.
After an unknown amount of time, the four elemental runes stabilized in Lando's mental space, which meant that he successfully completed the inscription.
"Do not remove the spiritual space arcana before you complete your third mental construction, otherwise the foundation runes you have engraved will be discovered and erased by the world, and the school will not use the empty crystal for you again," Eric reminded.
Lando looked at the four empty crystals floating in the air. The foundation runes in them seemed to be much darker than before. It seemed that some kind of consumption had occurred due to his study.
Lando nodded solemnly, indicating that he would definitely pay attention, and then Lando couldn't wait to test the function of the foundation rune.
Opening his palms, the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth suddenly condensed into a ball, twisting and rotating above the palms. Surprise flashed in Lando's eyes, because this was just the result of his thoughts, and he did not use himself at all.
The power, as Eric said at the beginning, after mastering the foundation runes, this element between heaven and earth will be completely used by him.
Close your eyes and connect your spirit to the four foundation runes in the spiritual space. In an instant, your spirit and thinking transcend the limitations of the physical body and enter a vast world composed entirely of elements.
In this world, Lando can obviously feel that the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth are closely connected with him. He can easily mobilize their power and show infinite power, while other elements are extremely alienated from him.
, although it is possible to influence them, the process is extremely obscure.
At this moment, Lando had a strong feeling. If he could master all the basic runes of all the elements in the world, then it might be feasible to change the world and reshape the universe like the saints in the fairy novels of previous lives!
Opening his eyes, the four balls of elemental light in his hand were still attracting the power of elements from heaven and earth. In a short period of time, extremely terrifying energy had been gathered, and the speed of gathering was still growing faster and faster.
A little energy would naturally have no effect on Eric, so he just looked on with a smile and did not bother Lando.
The palm of his hand trembled slightly, and the four elemental light balls that had condensed terrifying energy suddenly dissipated as quickly as deflated rubber balls.
Lando asked impatiently: "Mr. Eric, does our Arcane Empire really only discover the basic runes of the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth? Are there no other basic runes of the elements?!
"
Eric shook his head in a funny way. He was not surprised by Lando's question, because this was a question that almost every arcanist who learned the basic runes would ask repeatedly out of reluctance, including him back then.
"At present, the Arcane Empire only masters the basic runes of the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth. Didn't I say this before? It is said that they were discovered because of an extremely accidental accident, which involved
World Laboratory No. 3, if you are interested, you can learn about it yourself when you become a Grand Arcanist." Eric responded casually.
Accident?! World Laboratory Three?!
Although he was very interested in the accident mentioned by Eric, the other party obviously did not intend to explain it to him. It seemed that if he wanted to know more information about this, he could only go through other channels, or wait until he becomes a Grand Arcanist in the future.
As for whether Lando can become a Grand Arcanist, he will never doubt himself on this!
Thinking of this, Lando saluted Eric and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Eric!"
Eric yawned and waved his hand: "No need to thank me, this is the opportunity you earned through your own efforts."
Even though Eric said this, Lando was still very grateful to him. After all, the former taught him very carefully during this period without any perfunctory meaning.
The two walked out of the secret room, Fraser was still sitting in his seat drinking tea and didn't seem to move at all.
Eric shook his somewhat groggy head, drank a cup of tea on the table and asked, "How long has it been?"
Frazier smiled and refilled Eric's glass and said, "Three days, that's very fast. How do you feel?"
The latter sentence is for Lando.
Lando responded: "A lot of benefit!"
Frazier nodded with satisfaction and said, "I see you can't wait to go back and sort out this harvest. Go ahead!"
Lando said with some embarrassment: "Principal, Mr. Eric, I will take my leave now."
Fraser nodded with a smile, while Eric waved to him casually.
After leaving the principal's office, Lando immediately returned to his dormitory, then closed the door tightly and entered the inner world.
Lando needs to refine his thoughts to determine the importance of the foundation runes.
One day later, the center of the mind.
Lando looked at the orange-red fire ball the size of a baby's fist burning in his hand and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the power of the foundation rune was indeed a bit beyond Lando's expectation. At that time, Instructor Odo told him that the great arcanists of the Evocation School accounted for about 40% of the empire's total strength. This data was indeed well-founded.
Throwing the fire ball casually, this arcane bursting fireball that seemed very ordinary to Lando now showed extremely amazing power. It directly flattened a mountain in the distance, and the subsequent burning and high temperature made it even more intense.
The air nearby was distorted and lingered for a long time.
Waving his hand, the flames in the distance disappeared, and the mountain top was restored to its original state. The power of this exploding fireball arcane spell was at least doubled compared to the original. This was a temporary spell he learned casually in order to verify the effectiveness of the basic runes.
If we do a little more in-depth research on the relationship between arcane magic, I believe its power can be easily increased by one or two times based on the current level!
How about I also switch to the Shaping School?!
This thought flashed through Lando's mind, and he skipped it with a dumb smile.
Let’s not talk about whether all his current research and his own talents are suitable for the Evocation School. Simply speaking, everything he has gained now does not mean that he can leave the Conjuration School at will.
Mentor Odo, Mr. Simon, Principal Fraser, and the senior leaders of the Conjuration School who spent resources and costs to train him, from the original Silver Tower School to the current Gastro Academy, unknowingly Lando has already
He is deeply imprinted on the school of conjuration. Even if he really leaves the school of conjuration and wants to join the school of evocation, there is no way they will accept him.
Moreover, the knowledge of basic runes does not improve other schools of conjuration as much as the school of evocation, but it may not necessarily improve him!
He raised his head slightly and stared at the entire heart world. At this time, Lando's perspective had reached outside the heart world. The entire heart world floating in the book of dimensions was like a toy in his palm, which he could play with at will.
Deep in the heart world, many runes, including the four-element basic runes, are in the core of the dimension. Their existence not only brings many different powers to the heart world dimension, but also accelerates the heart world dimension to a certain extent.
's growth.
Lando doesn't know if anyone else in the Arcane Empire can completely control one dimension like him, but as the pioneer of the inner dimension and the full authority controller, what he can do may be far beyond what everyone else can do.
Imagine!
In the core of the dimension, under the control of Lando's thoughts, runes began to collapse and be annihilated. Among them were the death runes that were first integrated into the mind space in the world of Astraea. These runes
The deepest connection with the heart world, their disintegration even caused the entire heart world dimension to start shaking continuously, and countless cracks spread throughout the world.
Lando's expression remained unchanged. With the current size of the Heart Realm Dimension, these labor pains were within the tolerable range, even if their shattering and disintegration caused considerable losses to the Heart Realm Dimension.
As time went by, what disintegrated were the many versions of runes that Lando found through various channels after leaving the world of Astraea. Among them, the more 'useful' ones were also engraved in the mind space.
At that time, it seemed that I wanted to create the [Sword of the Heart], but now that I think about it, my idea at that time was really a bit naive and ridiculous!
Finally, there are the four-element basic runes learned at Gastro Academy and other better versions of runes found in Xiao Kong in the library.
Looking carefully at this time, it seems that the shadow of the foundation rune can be found on every four-element basic rune. Perhaps they themselves extend from the foundation rune, or they were born because of their existence.
In short, the basic runes of the four elements are indeed quite excellent knowledge, but how many arcanists can really discern the key to it?
Even Lando only paid more attention to them after making corresponding guesses after being reminded by his mentor Odo.
Looking at the 'clean' Heart Realm dimension and the talent of [Heart Realm (Orange)], Lando suddenly felt light all over. Although the existence of those runes did bring a lot of convenience to the Heart Realm, it also accelerated the speed.
The growth of the inner dimension, but their existence itself also brings an imperceptible burden to the inner dimension and [Heart (Orange)] talent.
Because these runes were all engraved before the birth of the heart dimension, when it was still in the heart space, Lando didn't realize this until after they were cleared.
However, knowing this has no impact on Lando's next actions. He plans to engrave the foundation runes into the core of the heart dimension, even if this will put a slight burden on him.
At the core of the dimension of the heart world, Lando's figure appeared. At this time, the energy generated by the broken runes was still reverberating in it.
Opening his palms, four illusory and fragile runes suddenly appeared. Because this place can also isolate the power of the outside world, these four basic runes will not be noticed by the rules of the outside world and can exist safely in the inner dimension.
in the core space.
With their appearance, the core of the Heart Realm dimension and even the entire Heart Realm dimension undergo earth-shattering changes!
