Feiqi couldn't wait to open the iron door of the library, and then walked in with a lantern. The grease-ignited firelight could only provide dim lighting after being blocked by the glazed cover. However, in places full of paper books, fire protection is obviously more important.
There are many bookshelves in the room, and there are densely packed with books of various colors. The red ones are related to magic, the black ones are related to martial arts, and the brown ones are related to history, geography, biography and anecdotes. Most of these books were published by the Truth and Thunder Church. After all, "truth" is also an important part of the goddess, which means spreading knowledge.
Another part was collected when going out for a mission, including some books and materials from the enemy. This is how many magic books come from, and even Mr. Kipling did not dare to do this. The goddess's magic skills are open and upright, with clear context and structure, and a complete method of practice. What hinders people's progress is only the degree of loyalty and personal efforts. However, among the people, especially those who do not have divine skills qualifications and want to use magic, they do not have a systematic learning method.
This means a lot of difficulties, which may even lead to unscrupulous learning, such as using living people as sacrifices or worshiping devils.
Evil casters should be eradicated, but their sinful achievements are brought back. These achievements are forbidden to reproduce, but are allowed to be read under control. Evil, which will not disappear because of choice not to see it, will converge because of exposure to broad daylight.
Fitch walked past the red bookshelf and noticed that some books on it had a similar appearance: a silver metal cover, a very thick spine, and a thunder cross on it. These books gave people a cold feeling, and there was a numbness and itch caused by a faint electric shock when placed on it. These books were collected from the hands of evil spellcasters and were called "Thunder Shroud Book" or Silver Shroud Book.
"The Mysterious Wisdom in Story, Proverbs" is leather packaging, huge and heavy, no less than a book "Cihai (Shrinking Seal). There are also magical arrays in the book, not to warn readers, but to prevent fire, water, insects, and damage.
"This book is for getting started? If you can't get started, you can use it to kill yourself and make the design realistic." Feiqi searched on the shelf for a while and learned about the content through the preface of the book. He found a very interesting phenomenon: the introductory book of magic is thin and light, and none of the introductory book of other types of magic weighs less than ten kilograms.
Only one silver-sealed spell book, "The Laws and Language of the Devil", has reached the portability level.
It is difficult to get started with spells. It is not that it has abnormal requirements for the reader's arm strength, but a very chaotic spell system. Feiqi took a rough look and took the simplest spell to create light as an example. In "Stories, Mysterious Wisdom in Proverbs", there are 862 completely different casting methods. The most troublesome thing is that these 800 methods are correct. Previous people have successfully used them on different occasions, but no one knows which method is suitable for you. A spell caster can always find thirty to fifty spells that can make him cast the effect of light, but each of them cannot be guaranteed to work under any circumstances.
Repeatable continuously is the most important sign that a system can work, and spells are still far from this. Feiqi designed the game and he is very clear about the importance of success rate to the system in a ability system. A failure rate of one percent will not attract attention, five percent will cause anxiety, ten percent will cause setbacks, twenty percent will cause disgust and resistance, and forty percent will cause failure rate of forty people will give up.
"If you don't work, you won't work. If you can, you can do it and you will always do it." This is the biggest advantage of the goddess magic. For spells in this world, first of all, you don't know whether it works, and then you don't know whether it works in the future, which is crazy. The mages rack their brains to increase the success rate of spell casting. The general method is to make your spirit more likely to enter the state of casting, and synchronize as much as possible with the fluctuations and frequency of the energy you want to use. One of the methods is "Demon Dream".
Now Feiqi will never repeat the mistakes of the "demon dream", but he does have to think carefully about how to go on the magic path. He wants to find his body, and he wants to get rid of the influence of the devil on him, especially the negative impact. He must at least be worthy of his life after traveling through time, be independent, autonomous, happy and successful.
All this cannot be solved by force and power, nor can it be solved by money, and there is nothing he can do, including alchemy. When the path of divine art cannot be understood, all he can rely on is magic.
Unlike people in this world, Feiqi's starting point for thinking about things is never a god, even if there is a magical magic. From this point of view alone, he is actually a "devil". What he believes in is logical thinking, causal relationship, and simplicity and rigor similar to program languages.
He quickly read the prefaces of dozens of books and gained a general understanding of spells: the goddess does not care about spells, which is not her territorial power; spells belong to "natural" things, imitated from monsters, dragons and elements, and are understood from wind, rain, thunder and lightning. So, since natural phenomena can be repeated, spells should be repeated. There must be something wrong with the current spells.
Feiqi is not the first mage to have this idea, but he is the first person to try to solve problems in a more advanced logical way. As a programmer, even though he knows that there is a bug, he will "naturally" create a sense of compulsion to correct errors, otherwise he will be really uncomfortable.
"In the memory of the Forward Demon, there are only a handful of mages in this world that are more powerful than the devil, but they do exist. What I want to do is to increase the chance of becoming a powerful mage." He picked up "The Mysterious Wisdom in Story, Proverbs", clamped "Prayer and Ritual" under his arm, and then stuffed "The Devil's Laws and Language" into his clothes and put them in close proximity. The numbness of electric shocks came from his belly, but compared to the excitement of learning spells, it was nothing.
He was preparing to put the thick introductory book on the spells in the meditation room. Old man Kipling asked him to take at least 3 hours a day to meditate and adapt to the pressure that the wandering soul might bring to him as soon as possible. He planned to learn spells during this period. Since the wandering soul became "food" and the pressure did not exist, Fitch could study wholeheartedly, which was beyond his original expectations.
He was going to carry the divine art book with him. He would definitely read this book well, but he would definitely not learn it. The devil's identity made it impossible for him to learn the divine art of the Goddess of Thunder. However, he needed to make a gesture, at least to let the old man Kipling see that he had tried it. The old man was really kind to him, and Fitch knew this, and he didn't want to disappoint the old man.
As for the book "The Laws and Language of the Devil", he was determined to memorize it and use it as a real introductory choice. This is not only because the thickness of this book is the most friendly, but also because of the word "devil". Feiqi is very realistic. He knew that he would not lose the various abilities of the contract demon because of doing good every day, or could turn from a devil into an angel. He also knew that he would not become a truly evil devil just because he studied "The Laws and Language of the Devil".
Since you are a devil, you should start learning from the most favorable perspective, and the success rate is also the highest.
After planning all this, Feiqi looked at the time outside and found that it was almost time for supper, so he was going to the hall. After getting off the library, Feiqi went to the old man Kiplin to help him with dinner, but found that the room was empty. When he arrived at the bottom hall, he saw the old man there, and three young men and coach Karel were there.
Kelly was injured.
He took off his shirt, bandages were wrapped between his chest and abdomen, his right arm was fixed with a splint, and he hung it on his chest with a bandage. There were many injuries in other places. Some torn clothes were thrown on the ground, with blood stains on it. Kailey frowned and gently moved his upper body. When it caused pain, he frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with himself.
Old man Kipling was packing the treatment potion: "I asked me to change the medicine three days later. After ten times, you can remove the bandage on your body, but the wounds on your arms and ribs will only heal at least three months. You have to go into winter with these injuries."
"It's nothing." Kelly glanced at Feichi, his eyes seemed a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Oh, there is another point. You can't yell before removing the bandage, and you can't do vigorous exercise, otherwise you will be more slowly and suffer in vain."
Ramsden secretly gave Wumama a wink, with joy inside. Kelly could not yell or move around, which meant that their training would become extremely relaxed, at least they would not be injured in the fight, which was definitely a good thing.
Wumama understood it, but she wanted to laugh but didn't dare. She could only rub the tip of her nose with her fingers to block the slightly raised corner of her mouth.
However, this was still seen by Kelly. He glared at him and did not shout, but his voice still had a powerful intimidation effect: "Don't use such a trick, I will still stare at you, don't be lazy! From tomorrow, any relaxation will be whipped. My whip with my left hand is actually as good as my right hand!"
"Okay, tomorrow says, let the children have dinner first. Kaile, come with me, I'll prescribe you a medicine."
The old man walked towards the tower with Kelly. After he got away from the hall, he asked, "Kelly, why did you get injured this time?"
"When climbing the mountain, the rope was too old and broke. Oh... I patroled along the route and found this thing on the cliff." Kelly looked back, took out a small cloth bag from his pants pocket, placed it on the plyboard on his right arm, and then opened it carefully with his left hand. Inside were four ginger-colored meaty plant tubers, each with three slender green branches growing from above, topped with three small red berries. After bumping, squeezing and impact, the berries were still intact. The crystal clear red has a watery appearance and looks very attractive.
"Giant Fruit?" Kipling looked surprised. "This is a rare good thing."
"Yes, I know. But we won't hand it over to the temple this time." Kelly held the cloth bag and said to the old man: "I mean, the church will have its own inventory, which is not as much as the young people. Make it into potions, mix it in soup, and drink it for the young people. Don't tell them, so as not to let it go and be discovered by the inspector. Feich and Tron need to participate in the enhancement ceremony, Wumama and Ramsden need to improve their physical fitness. With this, at least they can live more easily."
The old man hesitated for a moment, pressed his chest, and nodded. "If the inspector finds out, don't speak out, I'll deal with it. My old face is still very respectful. Moreover, you don't want them to know, so as not to destroy your ruthless image, right?"
