Master Tongtian

Chapter 84 Young Logic System (210)

At midnight in the cold winter, the air was as sharp as a knife. Even in the small conference hall of Wangyue Garden, the cold air was not completely driven away.

As he spoke, he could clearly see the white vapor in the air.

But for the two mages, one old and one young, this cold stimulation made their minds clearer.

In the small conference hall, Rosen's voice was a little childish, but it already showed the unique calmness of a powerful mage.

"Madam, in this encounter with the Giant Bear Beast King, I saw a very different way of casting spells."

"The Beast King's spells are smooth in casting and have exquisite effects, but they seem to be extremely complicated. I can't imagine the structure of the spell at all, and I have no clue at all."

In the magic virtual machine, Rosen tried to analyze the principles of the Beast King's magic, but all failed.

As soon as the recorded spell is input, the software will immediately report an error and prompt, 'The spell is too complex and the analysis failed. ’

This is the same as the previous attempt to analyze Veronica's blood vine spell, which caused the 'spell analysis' function to temporarily become a useless burden.

Hearing this, an appreciative smile flashed across Sophia's face.

"The world of magic is as vast as the starry sky. Just learning the knowledge accumulated by the sages is enough to consume an ordinary mage's lifetime energy, so that most mages' understanding of magic is superficial."

“It’s great that you’re always thinking about the principles of inquiry.”

She stood up and took a few steps back and forth.

"Rosen, to explain this problem clearly, we must understand the development process of magic."

Rosen's heart moved: 'A master is a master, and he goes straight to the source as soon as he opens his mouth. ’

He immediately listened intently.

Sophia began to talk.

"On the mainland, there are two major legal systems."

"The former is called natural law, but this is the name in the last hundred years. Before, it was called witchcraft. The magicians who use witchcraft are called wizards."

Although it was just a sentence, it directly opened Rosen's horizons.

He became more focused.

"The second type is the logical legal system, which is also unique to the Golden Land."

"Did your instructor tell you the difference between the two legal systems?"

Rosen nodded: "I've said it before, but I just mentioned it briefly and didn't go into details."

Sophia smiled lightly.

"Thrandis is proficient in the system of logical law, but her understanding of the system of natural law is very limited. She is an outstanding mage with a very strict personality, and naturally she will not boast about things she does not understand."

She began to explain in detail.

"The natural law system is a very ancient legal system with a long history, which can be traced back to the ancestors' era thousands of years ago."

"The advantage is that it is smooth to cast, easy to get started with, and has many incredible and even incomprehensible abilities."

Rosen thought back to the Beast King's witchcraft he had seen. The mud armor and earth-shaking magic were okay, but he couldn't figure out how the dwarf and the giant bear shared vision.

Sophia's voice sounded again.

"However, it has two major disadvantages."

"One is inefficiency. A lot of mana is wasted on spell structures that have nothing to do with the target."

Rosen feels the same way.

If the huge mana used to release the earth-shaking technique is used to release missiles, it will be enough to blow the entire valley to the ground.

"The second is sensibility."

"Spellcasters often attach personal feelings to their spells."

"But mortal emotions are unstable. When you are excited, the power of the spell may be increased, but when you are depressed, the spell will be greatly affected, and even cause the spell to fail."

"Forget it, it's a personal matter after all."

"But everyone has different experiences and emotions. This also leads to a serious problem, that is, thousands of people have different methods."

Rosen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately came to a conclusion.

"So, natural magic is not conducive to promotion!"

The status of the student will affect the tutor.

If students are fully attentive and energetic, they will naturally ignite the instructor's enthusiasm for passing on knowledge.

When Sophia looked at the boy in front of her, she felt as if she had returned to her youth.

For a moment, she completely let go of the shackles of being a count and completely forgot about her fatigue.

A heartfelt smile appeared on her face and she praised loudly.

"You're absolutely right!"

Under concentration, Sophia began to speak faster.

"The core of the natural law system is just four words, 'concrete visualization'!"

"Those wizards not only obtain magic power through concrete visualization, but also cast spells through concrete visualization."

This sentence was like a candlelight in the darkness, dispelling many doubts in Rosen's mind.

Sophia's voice continued to reach her ears.

"You must have noticed that when the Giant Bear Beast King casts a spell, he will shout a spell. It is similar to 'let the frost come to the earth' and 'let your power tremble the earth', right?"

Rosen nodded repeatedly.

"Ordinary people often think that spells are the key to witchcraft, and even most wizards think so. But in fact, they are wrong. Spells are just an aid in imagining concrete things."

Rosen suddenly understood.

When you think of mountains, mountains naturally come to mind. To pronounce the storm is to experience the storm.

Language is indeed an excellent aid to imagination, but it is not necessary.

"Concrete images are things that already exist in the world. For example, earthquakes, hail, storms?"

"That's right."

Rosen continued.

"So, the reason why I cannot analyze its spell structure is because it is too complex and exceeds the capabilities of logical tools such as precise geometry."

The precise geometry of this world is analytic geometry, but its level of development is very low, and even trigonometric functions are not perfected.

Using such geometry to describe the image of nature will definitely hit a wall.

And as soon as she heard his words, Sophia couldn't help but praise him.

"Your understanding is very correct. It seems that you are smarter than I thought!"

After saying that, she started to test again.

"What do you think are the other major shortcomings of the natural law system?"

Rosen had already thought of it.

“The natural law system has a limited future.”

"oh?"

Sophia raised her brows high with a look of joy on her face: "Go on and tell me carefully."

"Because it can only imitate concrete objects, but does not delve into the principles. Without understanding the principles, it is impossible to create out of thin air, and the progress will be very slow, and it is very likely to stall or even regress."

"Hahaha~"

Sofia laughed heartily for the second time.

"Little guy, you are absolutely right!"

"Nature is eternal, and magic that imitates nature will remain unchanged forever. This is the real fatal flaw of the natural law system!"

She went on to explain.

"In general, there is a trend in the development of techniques, from concrete to abstract, from perceptual to logical, and from rough to refined."

"And the ultimate development of this is the current logical legal system."

"This legal system is brand new, but because it is derived from the natural legal system, it still retains many characteristics of the natural legal system, such as 'concrete meditation'."

Rosen nodded repeatedly.

Visualize the sun and gain fire-based mana. By visualizing the ocean, you can gain water-based mana. Both the sun and the sea are concrete images.

Obviously, this has great limitations.

Rosen thought again about his current idea of ​​the Lord of the Universe.

To be honest, he has never seen the whole universe at all, let alone the original singularity. Everything is his imagination based on the scientific knowledge of the earth.

Therefore, this is no longer concrete visualization, but should be called ‘logical meditation’.

Sophia's voice came again.

"The shortcomings of the natural law system are the advantages of the logical law system. But the logical law system also has its own shortcomings. Little guy, what do you think are the shortcomings?"

This great mage likes to test people very much.

Fortunately, Rosen could catch it.

"I think there are two significant shortcomings."

"Oh?" Sophia raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

Rosen came one by one.

"First, spell casting is not flexible enough. The scale of a formed spell cannot be modified in real time according to usage needs."

Sophia laughed: "It can be changed, but it's not safe. Well, to put it this way, it's really not flexible enough."

This problem can lead to many embarrassing situations.

For example, an apprentice with 1.0 missile mana and an apprentice with 1.9 missile mana have almost no difference in spellcasting ability.

After releasing a missile, both of them had to wait for their mana to recover, and it was obvious that the latter's mana was almost twice that of the former.

"What about the second one?" Sofia asked.

"It is too young, and the logical laws extracted from the objective world are too few and too superficial."

Sophia's face was filled with an appreciative smile.

"You're absolutely right. I haven't seen a child as smart as you in many years."

"It is indeed very young. It has only been 150 years since the birth of the logic system, and it is still just a baby in its infancy."

There was a sigh on Sophia's face, but there was a fire burning in her eyes.

"Although it is only a baby, 150 years of development has given this baby some power to fight against the natural law system."

"Any wise person with discernment can see the profound growth potential of this baby!"

Hearing this, Rosen suddenly had a doubt in his mind.

Rosen immediately asked: "Madam, what level has the pure magic power of the logical law system reached at present?"

"Intermediate level, or high level?"

Pure spell power refers to the spell power achieved under standard mana intensity and polarity. For example, the missile spell is just a low-level spell in terms of pure spell power.

Sofia couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead and smiled bitterly.

"This is really a question that makes it difficult for me, an admirer of the logical legal system, to talk about it."

She laughed at herself: "But there's nothing to hide."

"To be more serious, there are no pure high-level logical spells, only half-witches and half-laws. And about 70% of the mid-level spells are in the same state."

"There is no master logic spell in this world, only master witchcraft."

Rosen understood that the logic system had just advanced to the middle level.

This legal system is really young.

While sighing, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

‘If I integrate calculus into precise geometry, I wonder what kind of magical applications it will bring? ’

Following this idea, another vague inspiration popped up in his mind.

"It seems to be of great use. It may be able to significantly solve the problem of spell casting flexibility."

Unfortunately, although he knew a lot of mathematics, his understanding of magic was only basic. It is extremely difficult to integrate this new thing into the magic.

He wanted to ask the earl for help, but saw that the other person's face was full of exhaustion.

Another move occurred in my heart.

"It's true that the Earl is an archmage, but she is also the lord of Silver Moon Castle, and she is at the center of the whirlpool of interests. Even if she really values ​​me and wants to teach me, she can't help herself."

Therefore, he must be cautious when facing the count.

So who should you ask for help?

The answer is obvious.

Mentor, of course.

The earl is everyone's earl, and the energy and time that can be allocated to him are very limited, but the mentor is his own mentor.
