From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 14 The Troubles of Witch Doctors (minor revision, changed dialogue)

A new spellcasting system has been born, and Blade Ya begins to think about what needs to be done next. Being so motivated does not mean that he has evolved into a qualified 'social animal', but that during these countless days and nights, 'research' has formed a

Fun-based habits.

Therefore, this is far from something that can be simply summarized by the so-called "social animals".

While thinking, he came to a conclusion.

As of today, the framework work on meditation and magic research has been declared completed. From now on, research will be based on this system for a long period of time, at least until the research methods are innovated.

Work that contributes to building blocks; such as the research on the expanded versatility of mantras and gestures, the continuous analysis of new rune structures, changes in meditation methods, etc.

And Banya does not intend to bear all of these tasks on himself. There are still three witch doctors in the tribe, and witch doctor apprentices will appear more frequently in the future. Whether it is from the perspective of the development of the tribe, or from the perspective of

From the perspective of the growth of the entire magic system, it is beneficial to properly distribute these non-pioneering research contents.

Therefore, it is no longer advisable to continue researching in isolation. The most urgent task is to show the results and describe the principles to the witch doctors.

With this idea in mind, after resting for the night, Blade Ya knocked on the doors of the witch doctors' houses one after another.

"Banya, you haven't been out for a long time? Why?"

The three witch doctors, who had not seen each other for a long time, were quite surprised by his long-awaited appearance.

In fact, Blade Ya, who has completed the witch doctor course and has the ability to cast magic crystals, is now a qualified witch doctor. Although his experience is relatively shallow, according to the old calendar, it is time to assume responsibilities within the tribe.

Looking at his hurried back, the old witch doctor regained his composure, swung his cane and knocked the other two men on the thighs a few times, teaching them a lesson,

"Spirit! Shame? Being fed? Go! Go! Go and ponder!"

The other two witch doctors were brought back to their senses by his question, and they also shook their heads, saying that they could not figure things out for the time being.

After all, it was all researched by myself and the conclusions had been drawn. I thought it would not be too challenging except that it would take time to write it down. But when it came time to actually write it, I realized that I wanted to summarize it for others.

Being able to read large books is by no means an easy task.

"Meditation contemplates thoughts. It is between the two."

Magic crystal + life span = spell, this truth that has been maintained for countless years has become a thing of the past in the hands of this underage troll. Not only did he change 'life span' to 'physical strength', but even the magic crystal was discarded.

".Meditate space this way and that way"

Blade Ya, who did not realize that he was absent from work for a long time, happily showed his latest achievements to the witch doctors and explained them.

'This is not possible, we must find a way to solve it.'

Hearing this, the mood of the witch doctors was a bit complicated. This complexity was not due to jealousy of the genius. They were relatively pure and just felt guilty that they had "held back";

And I have the intention to shirk it, but a whole new world is right in front of me, and I am not willing to miss it like this.

After looking at each other, they nodded helplessly and accepted what they considered a 'gift'.

However, on the one hand, it is because he is still young; on the other hand, it is also the performance of Blade Ya that has made the other witch doctors have more expectations for him in their 'research', so there are no trolls to supervise him.

He performs his duties.

The theoretical part full of imagination and spirit of exploration dazzled the witch doctors, and they were so overwhelmed that they even lost their ability to think.

"I don't understand this, I'm not as smart as you..."

Nowadays, although Blade Ya may not have become a madman in the eyes of the witch doctors, the shock he brought is no less than a little bit.

First of all, his poor research habits became a stumbling block. Because he did not keep records at all times, his habit of sorting out trivial thoughts during research made it a delusion to complete the system in one go. Reminiscence-type thinking work was destined to take up a considerable part of his time.

I left aside how the old witch doctor encouraged his juniors, and Blade Tooth returned to the house and began to think about how to proceed with the follow-up work.

Denya scratched his fangs helplessly, feeling a little troubled. There are still many subsequent studies that rely on everyone's collective efforts. If the initial popularization cannot be achieved, shouldn't it be necessary to continue to work alone?

The old witch doctor who was the first to come back to his senses, picked up the crutch that had fallen to the ground in shock, and said with emotion.

So, he took a spare clay tablet, melted away the surface, and started thinking about a suitable title.

"Not only witch doctors, if you want those who come after you to 'research' something useful, you should also make a summary of the research you have been doing. It is also time to put it into the agenda. Or else take this opportunity to do it together?

"

Blade Ya was not a troll with delicate emotions. He could not understand the mood of the witch doctors, so he left hastily.

In the end, he carved the four characters "Principles of Magic" and prepared to use this as a summary of his research so far.

"Ah this."

Then, he said with some shame,

In this 'work', he plans to start with 'Conjectures on Spiritual Power'; and then use 'Construction Principles of Meditation Methods', 'Construction Principles of Visualization Methods', and 'The Combination of Meditation Methods and Visualization Methods' to connect the past and the future.

; Then comes the finale, 'Analysis of Runic Culture of Magic Crystal Structure' and 'Material-Free Spellcasting'; and finally, 'Forward-Looking Thoughts on Spell Research' is the summary.

"In this way, it is easier for me to translate words than to speak."

". There are runes in the magic crystal, such as fire spells. This and that will be successful."

"Really, what don't I understand about you?"

However, this time, the witch doctors failed to respond immediately.

There is a saying in the past life that goes, 'If you are half a step ahead, you are a genius; if you are one step ahead, you are a madman.'

After giving a piecemeal and scattered account, basically talking about whatever came to mind, Blade Ya looked at the three witch doctors seriously, expecting their response.

He only pondered for a moment before making a decision and said,

Secondly, as a book for all future researchers, a considerable degree of compromise must be made in terms of usage habits, details, etc. Many words and phrases that he uses for granted will be replaced; some of them will be replaced by him as a researcher.

It seems that the content that can be briefly mentioned may be quite necessary content in the eyes of subsequent learners, and the choice between details must be carefully grasped.

Thirdly, based on his fantasies and insights in his previous life, the continuity between many viewpoints during research has the order of thinking and establishment logic that he takes for granted; but now that he lacks those fantasies and insights, these 'taken for granted' are not necessarily

Be understood. Therefore, among many chapters, the logic behind a lot of content needs to be reorganized, and the linking ideas between each other need to be clearer.

Finally, a considerable part of his research on magic is based on the relatively vague part between reality and illusion. Whether it is 'runes', 'spiritual power', or 'meditation', 'contemplation'

If the latecomers cannot have a relatively accurate understanding of the "foundation" on which they are based, and just blindly regard it as the "ancestral law" that is immovable for all eternity, it will undoubtedly become huge and even be enough to destroy the entire system.

hidden dangers. Therefore, how to express it accurately has become a very troublesome thought.

Based on these difficulties, Ben Ya decisively gave up the dream of completing the work at once, and instead began to prepare for a long-term struggle.
