Chapter 74 Scholars
"Guardian-derived runes..."
Ron pondered for a moment.
He has never studied the derivative runes of the guardian system, because it is too difficult to explore the derivative runes of the guardian system before the mental power reaches 100 points.
The size of the derivative runes of the guardian system is ten times that of the basic element runes such as Fenghuodi, and the complexity possibility it brings is far more than ten times.
If it was only ten times, even more than a hundred times the possibility, with Ron's current thinking speed and mental power, he could use extreme methods to forcibly explore. After all, his current thinking speed has long been so fast that it is far more than that of ordinary people.
But in fact, the size of the runes exceeds ten times, which brings far more than those, just like single digits, which are continuous to four digits and five digits.
At this level, what is needed cannot be rough, try one by one with the same password, but have enough knowledge.
Knowledge about runes.
Ron had a shallow understanding of runes before, but now, after exploring the third-level magic, his research on runes has gradually become deeper from the shallow surface.
He has learned that runes are not something designed, but represent a "tool" that reaches a perfect level of energy use.
Yes.
Runes are tools, absolutely perfect tools.
Just like the scientific gunpowder, steam engine, generator, etc., it essentially converts energy, but runes are the most perfect, and the application rate can reach 100%.
Ron accidentally created flawed runes that were similar to derivative runes a long time ago. Although those runes also have effects, they are incomparable in terms of loss and roughness than those that are confirmed by the achievement system.
If Ron now uses the ability of element affinity to study the method of using elements, then when he reaches the end of his research, he will definitely think about the element runes given in the achievement system.
In other words, the achievement system actually made him omit the most troublesome and most knowledge-required step, and directly gave him the perfect rune standing at the end of the magic.
Otherwise, starting from the foundation of runes, one should start to study the use of elements little by little and create magic, which is definitely not something that one person can accomplish. It must be a world of magic, which is explored and inherited by countless dazzling magicians with countless generations of life.
After knowing that runes are tools, Ron also understood why these derivative runes have their own meanings, such as decomposition, aggregation, chaos, etc.
But now he can't reverse the nature of a rune.
In other words, he cannot separate the rune tool and understand how it is composed. What parts and functions does each line and each small pattern represent.
But even so, Ron still figured out the meaning of the whole runes.
Decomposition, aggregation, chaos, order, derivation, destruction, increase, weakening.
Whether it is the fire system, the earth system, the wind system, and the eight derivative runes represent these eight concepts, which revolve around the core basic element runes.
These eight derivative runes can be divided into... decomposition and aggregation, chaos and order, derivation and destruction, amplification and weakening, and are a total of four groups of opposing runes.
These mutually opposites, such as decomposition and aggregation, cannot be arranged adjacently even in the same magic, and need to be separated by other runes, just like in a machine, things such as water and electricity interfere with each other must be separated.
In the process of exploring the third-level wind magic, Ron completely figured out the meaning of all eight derivative runes, obtained the fifth feature, and successfully mastered the third-level magic.
The five characteristics of magic he understood were exactly the four groups of opposing runes, plus the basic runes must be the core of magic, totaling five.
With this knowledge, it is no longer difficult to let Ron explore the third-level fire system and the third-level earth-level magic. It is like having equations to calculate, and calculating numbers one by one by one with your fingers is not the same concept.
"I don't know when Nami can explore in a different direction from me, so that this kind of magic knowledge can be accumulated at a faster speed..."
Ron couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
With Nami's current level, it should be a bit early to explore magic knowledge. Nami is still in a stage where she needs to learn, and there is still a huge gap compared to him.
Ron now roughly realized the feeling of a top scholar who was at the forefront of technology in his previous life. Everything needs to be explored and created by himself, because he is at the forefront of the world.
Because of this, the magician is noble, proud, and noble.
Because in a sense, they are the top scholars in the world, working hard for the progress of the whole world, and every step forward they can lead the whole world to a step forward!
"It's a pity that this is the world of One Piece."
Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but sigh again. If it were in a world where magic had not yet flourished to its peak and the perfect rune had not yet been explored, he only needed to take out a perfect rune, and perhaps he could become a great magician respected and admired by countless people.
But in this world of One Piece, you still have to speak based on your strength. Knowledge can only be used as a tool to improve your strength, and there is no other room for development.
The thoughts return to the guardian runes.
The difficulty for Ron is that it is different from the basic element system. It has only six derivative runes, not eight, and cannot correspond to the derivative runes of the element.
"Is it missing a set of opposing runes, or... all six are different."
Ron thought, and he felt that no matter what the situation was, all six should not be different. At least there were a few, and the meanings represented could correspond to eight of the element runes.
If this is correct, then if you try this based on it, you can directly bypass some detours. After all, Ron, who has understood some knowledge of runes, can avoid many obvious low-level mistakes when he knows the corresponding meaning.
And Ron guessed.
The derivative runes of the Eternal Runes are very likely to be missing one group, and the one group is less. He also has some inference, that is, the group of "chaotic" and "order".
