Lu Xiao is very aware of the reason why tall buildings rise from the ground. If he wants to learn more powerful spells at Kama Taj, he must first consolidate the "spell programming language" as the foundation.
Spell programming language is Lu Xiao’s personal name for the basic knowledge of constructing spells.
Just like what Gu Yi said, it is difficult for modern people who have received scientific education since childhood to quickly abandon the inherent understanding in their minds and look at unscientific things like magic from the perspective of a mystic.
Instead of affecting the learning progress due to conflicting concepts, it is better to convert the introductory learning of secret arts into a way that is easy for you to understand.
Lu Xiao is not a programmer, but as a social worker who has been working on the Internet for a long time, under the influence of colleagues and friends around him, he is more or less exposed to some common sense related to programming.
In the book that Ancient One handed to Lu Xiao, he first systematically explained the origin of the mystics, the history of the establishment of Kama Taj, and the record of protecting the earth in the long history of the past.
This part is similar to ideological education, aiming to show the lofty status of Kama Taj, the holy land of occult arts, so that newcomers who have just joined will have a sense of belonging to Kama Taj, which has a long history and glorious deeds.
Lu Xiao knew Gu Yi's intention, but he did not skip this part. After all, these seemingly ancient records might contain knowledge related to the secrets of certain worlds.
'really.'
These historical books mention the founder of Karma Taj, the ancestor of the occult and a member of the ancient Avengers - Agamotto, the Omniscient Eye.
Since it can be called the all-seeing eye, Agamotto naturally has the performance to match it.
As the oldest owner of the Time Stone, Agamotto, who was active in the ancient times of the earth, relied on the ability of the Infinity Stones to gain insight into some of the mysteries of the universe, and served as a think tank among the Ancient Avengers.
It is said that Agamotto can easily see through the past and future, and there is no secret in his eyes. It is for this reason that he is called the Omniscient Eye.
Perhaps out of the idea of hiding the existence of the Infinity Stones, although the Eye of Agamotto is recorded in the history book of Karma Taj, it does not connect it with the Time Stone.
According to book records, the Eye of Agamotto is a powerful magic weapon made by Agamotto, the ancestor of the secret art, and has only been passed down in the hands of the Supreme Mage of the past generations.
There are only a few relevant records. It should be that Lu Xiao's current level is not yet able to fully understand the powerful magical weapon possessed by Kama Taj.
Putting down these history books, Lu Xiao officially began to study the theoretical knowledge of occultists.
From the perspective of expression, the spellcasting process of secret magic is indeed similar to code programming, but it is hugely different in origin.
The mystics of the ancient Karma Taj believed that the so-called spells were to intercept the "source code" that builds the world, and freely weave many spells with different uses using a compilation method inspired by Agamotto.
Judging from the presentation in the movie, the low-level mystics of Karma Taj are not so much mages as they are magic swordsmen who enchant their weapons and then become ruthless.
But after actually starting related studies, Lu Xiao found that the form of expression in movies was still limited.
Waving magical weapons for close combat is just one of the many magic schools of Karma Taj. This is simply because the contemporary Supreme Mage Ancient One likes to use this fighting method, and most of the apprentices she taught also imitated it.
Although Gu Yi has extremely profound magical attainments, as a descendant of the Celts, one of the three major barbarian tribes in Europe, she has inherited the "reckless" nature in her blood, and she often subconsciously fights close to the enemy.
He doesn't act like a mage at all.
Judging from the plot of Avengers 4, Doctor Strange Stephen Strange can cast a variety of magical and cool spells remotely.
If Thanos wasn't too powerful as his opponent, he could defeat him with his numerous clone skills alone.
Lu Xiao has developed his own fighting style in the Assassin's Creed world.
Although he has no intention of following Gu Yi like other mystics, the school of magic that Lu Xiao plans to choose is indeed in the same line as contemporary Kama Taj.
The reason why Ancient One can become the supreme mage of Kama Taj, who is respected by millions of people, is not just because of her great strength.
Most of the mystics of Kama Taj have received more or less personal instruction from her, and Ancient One's education is not limited to improving personal strength.
With the ability of the Eye of Agamotto to see through the past and the future, she can easily play the role of a good and intimate elder in front of her apprentices, enlightening those confused mystics and leading them on the right path.
However, just as the Buddha saves those who are destined, it is impossible for Gu Yi to really rely on the time stone to gain insight into everything in the world.
Lu Xiao has always believed in the rules of the world where there are gains and losses.
Although the Time Stone has powerful power, its use will never be without loss, and it is impossible for Ancient One to use this omniscient and omnipotent ability all the time.
During the period when Karma Taj was studying quietly, Gu Yi would take the initiative to come to Lu Xiao's house from time to time to answer her questions.
Lu Xiao knew well that although the Supreme Mage accepted him on behalf of Kama Taj, it did not mean that Gu Yi would completely trust him easily.
It takes time to see people's hearts. Acting skills can hide them for a while, but they can't hide them forever.
In more than a month of contact, Gu Yi gradually understood Lu Xiao's character from his unabashed behavior.
He acts calmly and well-organized, and rarely has unbridled ideas, but he will not take the initiative to die due to excessive curiosity.
Just like all spellcasting professions, among mystics with ancient heritage, individuals who are willing to study (and seek death) will appear every once in a while.
With luck, these radical mystics will develop something beneficial to the community as a whole.
When they are unfortunate, their failed experiments will not only affect themselves, but also the unlucky people around them.
In the process of studying with Kama Taj, Lu Xiao gradually became familiar with the mystics in the Holy Land.
In addition to the black man Daniel, whom he had known for a long time, there were also several mystics with different personalities who left a deep impression on him.
The first one is named Casillas... When Lu Xiao heard this name for the first time, he unconsciously linked it to a certain football goalkeeper.
Cama Taj Casillas is also a Spaniard, but his life experience is not even remotely similar to that of the football goalkeeper next door.
In order not to poke anyone's pain, Lu Xiao did not delve into Casillas' past. He only learned from other mystics that he had lost his wife and children a long time ago, and it was Gu Yi who took him in.
Teach him magic and soothe his mind.
Casillas' talent is outstanding. In just a few years, he became the senior mage of Karma Taj, and his strength is quite impressive.
However, his gloomy and withdrawn character kept most of the mystics around him at arm's length. Only Gu Yi would often communicate with this disciple who still couldn't get rid of his sorrow and pain.
Lu Xiao, who has watched the movie many times, is very clear that Casillas will go astray in the future because of his obsession with pursuing eternal life and join the dark lord Dormammu, posing a huge threat to Karma Taj.
But at the moment, Casillas behaves quite normally. Although he and Gu Yi quarrel from time to time over academic issues, it is not yet apparent that he has any intention of betraying Karma Taj.
The other two senior mystics are also characters active in the Doctor Strange movie. One of them is a black man named Mordo, one of the most trusted disciples of Ancient One, and the other is Lu Xiao's fellow countryman, Wang.
