Greece brings evildoers

Circe gathered some energy, pulled out an old language parchment manuscript from the magic book, and threw it to Lorne opposite.

"Today, we'll talk about the rest of Hermes."

"I've finished reading it already."

Lorne took the manuscript and threw it back into Circe's arms without looking at it.

Hermetic script, also known as Hermetic symbols, is an ancient symbol system believed to have originated in ancient Greece. Hermes, the messenger god in Greek mythology, is said to have invented this system of symbols and taught it to mankind.

This linguistic symbol was widely used in ancient Greek and Roman times for recordkeeping, communication, and mystical rituals.

Typically, they consist roughly of a series of lines and geometric shapes, with each symbol representing a specific letter, word, or concept. These symbols are often carved into stone, pottery or paper and can also be used as amulets or magical charms.

In addition, the shape and arrangement of Hermetic symbols have a certain symbolic meaning and are believed to be able to convey hidden information and power. Therefore, this thing is often one of the required introductory courses for learning magic and witchcraft.

Circe scratched her head, confusion appearing in her pink eyes.

"Huh? Didn't I remember there are still a few pages?"

"I taught myself. By the time you finish talking, I don't know how old the monkey is."

Lorne couldn't help but rolled his eyes and snorted with a dark face.

Since it is a compulsory course similar to that of an introductory course, it is naturally not too difficult.

But it was such a book with dozens of pages. Circe had been talking about it for half a month and still had a third left. Lorne suspected that this woman was not an eagle, but a dove spirit. He knew it every day. Show off and fuck him.

While he was cursing, Lorne's purple eyes looked at the Eagle Witch opposite, with a hint of disdain flowing.

"So fast? Then let me test you."

Circe opened the parchment manuscript doubtfully and drew five different styles of symbols on the stone slab with branches.

Lorne glanced at them and answered them one by one without thinking.

"The triangle represents fire, which represents energy and passion; the square represents earth, which represents stability and solidity; the circle represents water, which represents flow and change; the semicircle represents air, which represents thought and communication. And fire, earth, water, and air are also The four elements that are often said in magic to form the basis of the world.

As for the last one, the spiral represents the soul, representing growth and evolution…

The above is a single usage, and these symbols can also be combined to form a more complex matrix. Depending on the shape, size and arrangement of each symbol, the effect of the matrix will also change accordingly. This is the so-called magic circle. . "

After he explained the meanings of the five Hermes words according to the script, he paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and his eyes gradually became deeper.

"The essence is to use [elements] as the [foundation], [symbols] as the [medium], and [soul] as the [master], delineate the [rules] according to your own [will], and reconstruct a miniature 【world】!"

"Who told you this?"

"Guess..."

"...?!"

Circe's pink eyes gradually widened, looking at the traitor in front of her with a strange expression, and then a trace of sourness filled her expression.

"Do you know that it took me decades to figure this out?"

"It was just a fluke."

Lorne's face didn't make many waves, and his tone remained calm.

Words and symbols are not only carriers of language communication, but also represent the creator and a civilization’s views and understanding of the world, which must contain complete philosophical speculation.

This level of insight is not something to be proud of, but it is just because when designing those game texts and structures, I examined the operating logic of more than one ancient language and understood the general commonalities among them.

And if you understand one thing, you can understand everything.

Seeing that her rebellious disciple performed so well, as a teacher, Circe had no choice but to give up her plan to get through the test, steeled herself, and pulled out another book from the pile.

"Now that you have almost understood Hermes, let's learn about Potions."

"I finished talking about it last year."

Lorne reminded him expressionlessly, looking faintly at his unreliable teacher.

Circe coughed in embarrassment and quickly changed her target.

"What about this book "Alchemy"?"

"Three months ago."

""Summoning" and "Transformation"?"

"The summoning technique is okay. You said that the transformation technique is not suitable for my physique. It seems that it requires a unique bloodline. This is a course that I just completed last week..."

"..."

Under the students' increasingly subtle eyes, Circe's face turned slightly unnaturally red. Looking at the useless magic books lying on the ground, she couldn't help but feel depressed and whimpering in her heart.

What are you doing so diligently? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?

The magic books she finally collected have been basically used up. What should she teach next?

A certain lazy teacher worked hard to turn his legendary walnut-sized brain, looking at the outstanding student in front of him from time to time, his eyes becoming increasingly resentful.

Therefore, she hates going to class the most!

Finally, after thinking about it for half an hour, Circe weakly threw out today's study task.

"How about taking a meditation class?"

Lorne put down the old textbook he was reading and nodded calmly.

For sixteen years, although he had lived on the island of Aiyo and lived a stable life isolated from the rest of the world, the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head always filled his heart with a sense of crisis.

Therefore, in order to improve his self-protection ability, Lorne spared no effort in learning magic and witchcraft, and even took the attitude of sprinting for the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Over the years, he had almost emptied the magic knowledge in the head of this great witch.

At present, compared with Circe, what he lacks is probably only in magic power, experience, and skills.

As a basic course for wizards, meditation is the main way to stabilize the spirit and improve magic power.

Instead of wasting time on this inefficient and poorly taught lesson, it would be better to spend more time meditating and accumulate more magic power.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll prepare something!"

With the tacit approval, Circe jumped up from her seat and rushed out of the temple.

Lorne glanced at the back of the stupid bird teacher who was almost running away, shook his head helplessly, reached out to pick up the Hermes manuscript, picked up a branch and traced the runes written by Circe on the stone slab. .

Although my theoretical knowledge is already perfect, it is still quite difficult to reproduce the perfect charm of each Hermes text.

The only way to make up for this is through long and boring practice.

After Lorne had traced it about thirty times, Circe finally returned to the temple. With a clang, he placed a large bubbling soup pot between the two of them, and then placed the two thick soup pots he had brought with him. Pottery bowls are placed on the floor.

With a sticky sound of turning, the two pottery bowls were filled to the brim.

Lorne looked at the black and green soup in the bowl in front of him, and couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes, with a "You're kidding me" expression on his face.
