Cerberus has been appointed as Yi Lin's magic instructor.
She is also very responsible.
Without any nonsense, Cerberus readily took an introductory textbook from the bookshelf and began to explain it to Yi Lin.
Yi Lin has the foundation of "magic" and "crystal pattern art", coupled with super high spiritual attributes, he has palace-level understanding ability, and he can understand it quickly.
But when he understood, he sighed secretly, and finally understood why Bartholomew Dylan agreed so readily this morning.
According to Cerberus, the so-called magic is indeed a mysterious science that can be "learned".
Magic is a phenomenon that transcends common sense.
In other words, magic is taking something that can be done under common sense and using another non-common sense method to make it happen.
In the terminology of magicians, there is also the concept of "magic".
Yi Lin became excited as soon as she heard it.
Magicians use "unconventional" means to accomplish things that "human beings can accomplish".
This is magic.
Just give a simple example.
- Make a fire.
Modern technology, a lighter, a natural gas stove, or other ignition equipment can easily be completed.
Magicians, on the other hand, do this without using modern technology.
Doesn't this sound like taking off your pants and farting?
Indeed.
At least, Yi Rin sounds like it.
And "things that are absolutely impossible for humans to accomplish" are called "magic".
The concept of magic is something that neither humans nor magicians can accomplish.
Speaking of magic, Yi Lin thought of the Supreme Mage again.
The magic that the Supreme Mage uses is serious magic.
But according to his theory, his magic cannot be accomplished by humans alone. The Supreme Mage must communicate with inhuman bosses from other planes and use their power to complete "magic".
It took a while for Yi Lin to understand the essence of "magic" literally.
"It's just a science. Well, as expected, you have to believe in science."
Yi Lin understands, understands.
In an instant, he once again acted as a great engineer, drawing inferences from one example and talking to Cerberus in the library.
As Cerberus and Yi Lin chatted, their eyes gradually showed some inexplicable changes.
For Cerberus, Yi Lin, an outsider who knew nothing about "magic" not long ago, had completed the "introductory education" of magic in less than an hour. This monster-level understanding ability,
This made Cerberus suspicious several times. She wondered if Yi Lin was a spy sent by Wandering Sea.
But it's impossible.
Magicians have a way of identifying each other. It is a unique "smell" that is almost impossible to hide.
Times are progressing.
The definitions of "magic" and "magic" are constantly changing subtly with the passage of time.
Let’s take “lighting a fire” as an example.
In the ancient Stone Age, when humans had not yet mastered "fire", "making fire" was a kind of magic. Because, in the eyes of primitive people at that time, this was "something that humans could never accomplish."
But now, it has become a kind of "magic".
Another example is to destroy a mountain. In modern times, this kind of powerful magic was also regarded as "magic". However, with the development of science and technology, it mysteriously declined. Humanity's thermal weapons emerged in endlessly, and even when nuclear bombs were invented, the sheer destructive power
, is no longer in the category of "magic".
this age.
There are fewer and fewer things that can be called "magic".
After grasping the simple definition of magic.
Of course let’s get to the point.
"I recognize your understanding." Cerberus sighed softly when he got to the point. She hesitated for a moment, but turned around and took off her clothes in front of Yi Lin.
Yi Lin stared at it carefully.
He would not be stupid enough to think that Cerberus suddenly had a fit and was craving for his body.
Sure enough, on Cerberus' exposed white back, a complex tattoo that almost filled the back skin caught Yi Lin's eyes.
"This is the 'Magic Seal'. Magic is not a technique that one generation can thoroughly study and use freely. Magic is a technique and skill that generations of magicians use to pass on their research, understanding, and experience to the next generation.
Knowledge."
"In addition, to become a magician, you must have excellent blood, excellent magic circuits in your body, and a huge knowledge reserve. These three points are indispensable. In a short period of time, you even know what is
You can’t successfully get started with magic.”
Cerberus calmly put on his tuxedo, turned around, as if nothing happened, and poured a basin of cold water on Yi Lin.
I don’t know if it was Yi Lin’s misunderstanding, but when Cerberus said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Yi Lin doesn't mind either.
He rubbed his palms, but his expression was unusually calm: "It doesn't matter, even if you can't learn it, if you understand it, it might be helpful to find the treasure next."
Cerberus' expression was stunned. She never thought that this despicable foreigner would be so concerned about that matter. Cerberus lowered his head, clenched his fists, and remained silent.
"Can I read all these books?"
Yi Lin pointed at the vast sea of books and asked.
"Can."
Cerberus replied: "But I remind you that every book has related magic set on it. I know that 'you' have a 'space' that can hide anything. But once any book is removed from the collection,
Disappearing in this world will alarm the clock tower."
"A way to prevent theft, haha, I understand. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Then I'll read the book first, and I'll come back to you if I have any questions."
Cerberus looked up and down Yi Lin's body several times with strange eyes. When he saw Yi Lin's sincere eyes, he left the place silently.
After Cerberus left.
The excitement that Yi Lin had suppressed for a long time finally appeared on her face.
On the surface, this room is full of books.
But in Yi Lin's eyes, these are all precious knowledge, "treasures" whose value cannot be measured by any goods.
"I'm on fire."
Yi Lin laughed and said, like a hungry wolf, he rushed towards the bookshelf.
…
In the clock tower, there are many students who are obsessed with academic research.
They are collectively known as the Magician's Apprentice.
Apprentices have a wide age range.
The youngest is not yet an adult.
The oldest one is already gray-haired and is about to step into the coffin with a belly full of knowledge.
The library is a public area.
Every apprentice is eligible to enter the library.
It's just that usually, there won't be too many people gathering.
Gradually, many people discovered a strange thing.
In the library, I don't know when, there was a strange person.
This weirdo is not wearing a magician's costume.
He didn't bring any attendants.
He doesn't even have the "smell" that a magician should have.
But he sat at the corner of the spiral staircase every day, with a stack of profound ancient magic books in front of him, reading them with gusto.
Many times, when some veteran magician apprentices pass by a weirdo, they can't help but want to ask: Do you understand?
But whenever the magician's apprentice who wanted to ask a question saw the weirdo's face, his expression changed for some unknown reason, and he hurriedly walked away, pretending he hadn't seen him.
Until someone reported this to Cerberus.
Only then was the identity of the weirdo confirmed: he was a "specially recruited attendant" of Cerberus, and with the approval of Lord Bartholomew, he came here to read and gain knowledge.
"It turns out that it is to make the boring and ordinary life so serious, intoxicated and focused because after arriving at the Clock Tower, the magician's holy place, I finally got bragging rights!"
Someone understands.
The above words, in short - don't know how to show off.
…
Yi Lin is focusing on reading.
He was deaf to what was going on outside the window.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
In three days,
He never left the library.
Work day and night.
On the way, Cerberus seemed to be curious whether Yi Lin died suddenly in the library, so he came to take a look.
With a dark face, she cleaned up the fruit peels, melon seed shells, and drink cups near the spiral corridor.
Finally, she saw that Yi Lin was really paying attention, shook her head secretly, and left silently without disturbing him.
She has seen too many people like this.
Being a magician is not a profession where you can succeed as long as you "know", "work hard", "persevere" and "struggle".
Soon he will hit a wall and become aware of the vast gulf between magicians and non-magicians.
Yi Lin was indeed fascinated by it.
Several times, he was even discovered when he was ten steps away from Cerberus.
Seeing Cerberus gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and silently cleaning up the trash for himself, Yi Lin closed his eyes every time and pretended not to notice.
After three days of intense reading, Yi Lin had a better understanding of "magic".
"Every human being has the potential to become a magician. Huh? What if you're not a human? Can a dog do that?"
Yi Lin pointed to one of the sentences in a book called "On the Beginning of Magicians to Their Death" and felt that something was wrong.
Not rigorous enough.
never mind.
It doesn't matter.
Knowledge and insight are closely related.
Maybe the magician who wrote this book has never seen a dog holding a tablet while watching "Animal World" while going to the toilet, nor has he seen a dog that can take care of a baby. Yi Lin gently closed the door
For this book, "On the Journey of a Magician from Entry to Death", I looked at the author's name - David Copperfield.
"But what I said above is correct. Everyone has the potential to become a magician."
Yi Lin nodded.
According to the magician's theory, everyone has an "origin".
The origin of each person determines the magician's potential, and also determines the magician's "magic attributes" with a high probability. With a high probability, the magician's attributes can be divided into: earth, water, fire, wind, and space. In addition, there are
Two rare properties: imaginary numbers and none.
The first five kinds of magic books have similar descriptions in many magic books. But regarding "imaginary numbers" and "none", most magic books are unclear, and Yi Lin cannot fully understand them.
Among them was a mathematician and magician named Descartes who imagined and speculated on "imaginary numbers" and "nothing".
"Imaginary property" refers to something that exists in theory but does not exist in practice.
"Attributeless" refers to something that does not exist in theory but does exist in practice.
So complicated!
This illusory conjecture, which is more inclined to idealistic theory, is the reason why Yilin cannot fully understand these two attributes.
"Magic and crystal patterning, and even magic, have similarities."
"The three most basic elements in magic: base, technique, and magic circuit."
"The so-called foundation is similar to the most basic language environment of magic. These include all cultures, religions, histories, and languages in the world. These environments constitute the magic itself. No wonder the Magicians Association once had branches all over the world, because language
In itself, it cannot be an obstacle to magic, but different languages give magic more possibilities."
"In other words, everything can be magic? Well, maybe our 'ancient martial arts' are also a type of 'magic' in the eyes of magicians."
Yi Lin silently recalled the power of Mo Rendi's fist.
If Mo Rendi comes here and punches these buildings, will this group of magicians be shocked and call the great magician Mo Rendi the leader?
"As for the spells, it's easier to understand. Similar to a 'program' programmed in advance, different spells play different roles in the same language environment. This is similar to 'Crystal Pattern Technique' and 'Magic'.
', there are similarities."
As for the third element, the magic circuit, this really opened Yi Lin's eyes.
In crystal grain physics, a loop can be simply understood as a channel of energy. It is completed with various lines and nodes.
But in magic, the magic circuit is "an organ" that exists in the magician's body. This organ is similar to blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels that circulate inside the body. It is precisely because of the magic circuit that
Only then did Cerberus firmly believe that Yi Lin could not learn magic in a short period of time.
Because the magic circuit is truly the essence and secret of a magician. Different magic families have techniques for cultivating magic circuits using drugs, etc., and these techniques are kept secret. To cultivate a magician's magic circuit, it may be difficult to
It takes several years, more than ten years, decades, or even the accumulation of one generation after another before it can be completed.
This is why some magician families do not rely on bloodline for inheritance, but only on talent. Some magician families will even take the initiative to send their beautiful daughters to their homes because someone has a certain magic circuit talent, and try every means to conceive the other person.
The blood of the family, and then secretly brought it back.
Or, when you see someone on the roadside who has a talent, you slap them on the forehead, take them back as your adopted son, and treat them as your own sons.
In the world of magicians, it doesn't matter whether you are green or not, nor does it matter whether you are your own child. What matters is whether you have the talent to become a magician.
Magicians are really a strange group of people.
Even if the blood cannot be passed down, knowledge must be passed on in a way. It is difficult for Yi Lin to understand this almost pathological persistence. What is it that has attracted countless magicians for more than two thousand years?
Put out the fire, take the initiative to ask for help a hundred times, a hundred times?
The fourth night.
Being highly concentrated for seventy-two hours straight, even Yi Lin was a little overwhelmed.
Yi Lin yawned. It was already late at night. He leaned on the fence of the spiral staircase and closed his eyes to take a nap.
He has been immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate himself.
Although Yi Lin was unable to master the subject and technology of magic, he used it to open a new door.
The limitations of magic are even more outrageous than the crystal pattern technique, but Yi Lin vaguely seems to have grasped some kind of pattern.
Yi Lin had a hunch that as long as he could fully understand the true meaning of "magic", the completion of his "free method" would be further advanced.
Yi Lin's "Free Method" was born out of crystal pattern science and advanced from magic. However, the theory involved is limited by Yi Lin's knowledge and cannot be completely completed. This may be the reason why Yi Lin's "Free Method" has not yet been evaluated. The most important reason for [strengthening].
Because of this "free method" itself, Lian Yilin still has doubts about it. How can it be recognized by the tower if it is only half-understood?
"There's not enough time."
Yi Lin rubbed his eyes and took out another book of interest from the bookshelf.
"Yo? It's so thick. "New Edition of Astronomy"? The author is Bartholomew G. Dillon. Lord Bartholomew? That kid? Isn't he in charge of the 'All Basics Department'?"
Yi Lin was curious and opened the obscure heavenly book.
As she watched, Yi Lin's eyelids began to tremble.
Tired, difficult to understand, boring, boring, and various reasons made Yi Lin take a nap.
"correct!"
While taking a nap, Yi Lin suddenly remembered a kind of magic.
A kind of magic that he has mastered for a long time but has never had the chance to use on himself.
"Give it a try."
Yi Lin took out more than fifty books in one breath that he had read but failed to understand before, selected the most boring and difficult page among them, and spread them out step by step on the stairs.
After completing this "feat", Yi Lin nodded with satisfaction, and while no one was around, he put on the [Apprentice Ring] on his index finger and middle finger.
Circles of magic texture appeared on her wrist, and then, Yi Lin slapped her chest hard.
Men, you have to be tough on yourself!
There was a "bang" sound.
Before my eyes, the world seemed to be at a standstill.
