From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 7 Conjecture about mental power (overhaul, still a text bug)

In short, the 'phonetic phonetic method' does seem to reduce the difficulty of learning the new troll text.

In the days that followed, Blade Ya and the three witch doctors began to focus on several interconnected things.

Learn about tribal heritage;

Convert the inheritance content into written form and burn it on the clay tablet;

Enrich the troll language grammar according to language habits.

As mentioned before, Troll language lacks the grammar of complex sentences. Their speech is like pronouncing words, and many vocabulary words are not formed. Therefore, taking this opportunity, the witch doctors who recognized the shortcomings in expression ability began to try to enrich

own grammatical system.

The results were effective, and the witch doctors' conversations gradually became coherent, enriching their expressive abilities to a considerable extent.

But this is not enough. This will obviously be a progressive 'change' that will last for a long time and will not even stop.

During this period, Blade Ya didn't have too many thoughts, but occasionally he would unconsciously incorporate some simple structures like 'subject, predicate and object' into his speech, which the witch doctors quickly learned.

~~~~~~~~

The years gradually passed by like this, and when Saberya grew taller and almost as tall as a mature troll's butt, the activities of 'creating words' and 'creating grammar' began to bear fruit.

Blade Ya also took this opportunity to escape the huge amount of 'labor' of sorting out the inheritance on his own and shared it among all the witch doctors.

"The average value of newborns is 1, and the awakening point value is 10;"

In the Witch Hospital, in a small room assigned to Blade Ya, he was sitting on a simple table and chair made of animal skeletons and meridians, combing through the recent 'results'.

"2. Mental power qualifications will affect the mental power growth curve. Those with witch doctor qualifications will grow faster, while ordinary trolls will grow slower, and the difference in speed is large enough."

"However, even the senior witch doctors who have mastered the ability to cast spells do not seem to have the ability to directly observe the internal structure of the magic crystal."

"Then, the next task is to find a way to artificially accelerate the growth of spiritual power. Today's witch doctors are just waiting. This is too passive."

However, my ability to distinguish various magic crystals has become increasingly mature during the class, and I believe it will be helpful in the future.

The clay tablets with several "storehouses" piled up in front of him, as well as the relatively complete oral skills of the witch doctors, are the marks of his achievements during this period.

"Since we need to 'perceive and control', then there must be a media involved. Although it seems a bit unreliable to use fantasy novels from previous lives as a reference, it is quite appropriate to introduce the concept of 'mental power' here."

"Through the experience of their ancestors, witch doctors do not focus on physical fitness when testing the qualifications of witch doctors. Instead, they have to consider memory. It seems to be a kind of evidence."

"1. Only those with witch doctor qualifications can grow their mental power; the mental power of ordinary trolls is a fixed value."

And when these things came to an end, Blade Ya could finally start the things he was interested in. For example, the research on magic crystals, and the research on 'witch doctors'.

"Magic crystal casting is still a 'black box' operation. If there is no way to figure out the internal structure of the magic crystal, studying 'magic' is a delusion."

"Can we assume from this that the key to the problem is not the 'vitality' itself, but the means of 'being able to feel and even control the vitality'?"

"Assuming that the peak average of the race is em. Troll warriors are generally stupid, so let's set it at 2-4."

"But it takes a long time for ordinary trolls to go from prime to old age, but they still haven't awakened."

"Then the question arises. The so-called 'vitality' should be a kind of 'energy' shared by living things, which is a necessity for life activities. Taking the trolls as an example, the soldiers are obviously strong, but they are unable to activate this kind of energy.

'Energy'. The witch doctor, who is not stronger than the warriors, and may even be inferior in terms of physical strength, is able to do it."

"There are many possibilities for the difference between the two."

etc……"

"3. Both sides have the same growth rate, but the initial base determines the order in which they reach the awakening point.

"After this energy is exported, the feedback given to the body is the loss of 'vitality'."

"We don't need to worry about the mental growth of ordinary trolls for now. The script of 'The Rise of the Time Travel Trolls' has not yet been staged. Ordinary trolls will act as averages for the time being. Let's first assume an interval and take the value.

1-10.”

After a brief thought, Benya decided to first formulate a logical and self-consistent theoretical system to quantify the mental power values ​​at each stage to facilitate subsequent work, even if this system is composed of brain supplements.

After a series of thoughts, Blade Ya decided to assume that there is a medium called "spiritual power" and regard it as the key that may open the door to magic. Although it is somewhat arbitrary, there is nothing that can be done. Instead of aimlessly

Instead of letting your thoughts wander, it is better to first set a possible direction and focus your thinking.

"Mental power can grow, and its growth will not stop with the end of physical development."

"What is known is that witch doctors can feel the energy in their bodies and by inputting this energy into the magic crystal, they can form 'magic'."

"Let me think about how to start researching"

Of course, this does not mean that he has not done relevant things these days, but his energy was severely distracted before, resulting in little progress.

"The old witch doctor told me that after he tested his witch doctor qualifications, he waited for two more growth rings (Note 1) before the day of awakening came. This also means"

"The range of qualifications is assumed to be 5-9 based on the level of qualifications."

"I should be considered to have relatively good qualifications. If I am modest and set it to 8, then I will only have a growth value of 2 from the awakening point."

"But the awakening point is not the goal for me. Even if the witch doctors are awakened, they still can't figure out what's going on inside the magic crystal."

"After awakening, you must at least cross another level to succeed. If there is indeed a level that can be crossed."

(Note 1: The so-called growth ring is a method of counting years that Blade Ya discussed with the old witch doctors after introducing concepts such as numbers and age. Trolls’ bodies will reach their peak in their prime, and this peak will remain for a long time.

For a long time, until one day they age. Therefore, they divide the troll's life into three stages, namely the 'growth period', 'maturity period' and 'senescence period'; and a growth ring is equivalent to

It is based on the entire time it takes for a troll baby to grow into a warrior. In addition, the growth targets such as "calf height, thigh height" have also been improved. With reference to the growth cycle of dragons in previous novels, the "growth period" of trolls has been changed.

It is divided into 5 stages, namely "calf height" in childhood, "thigh height" in adolescence, "belly height" in adolescence, "chest height" in adolescence, and "shoulder height" in adulthood.)
