Chapter 26 The Name of Magic

After Weilin Ernst's simple explanation, Shuge finally understood how dangerous it would be to abuse magic without "knowing the name of magic".

"The so-called magic is actually the way to use magic power... It is like a sharp sword or a powerful crystal gun. As long as anyone can hold it in his hand, even if he uses it randomly, he can always create something. Huge damage came out."

"But whether you hurt yourself or others, it all depends on luck."

While explaining, Wei Lin cast her gaze over. After looking at Xiuge twice, she said: "At least from the current point of view, you are very lucky."

Xiuge was shocked by Wei Lin's gaze. After all, he had been casting spells without understanding his own magic ever since he completed the magic inscription. Although he didn't know why he was able to remain unharmed, when he thought of the possible consequences, , Xiuge felt waves of fear.

He swallowed, and then asked: "If you hurt yourself, what will you usually do?"

"Depending on the school to which the magic belongs, the negative effects it causes on the caster will also change."

Wei Lin said: "For example, the two magics you used are very likely to belong to the school of summoning spells, and the negative effects of summoning spells are often that the summoned magical creatures are seriously out of control... and The location where it is summoned will also be completely outside the control of the caster."

Wei Lin paused for a moment, and then added: "In Delan's magic academy, there were cases where students' stomachs were burst by the sharp-eared rabbits they summoned."

"..."

The examples Wei Lin gave were a little too vivid, so that Xiuge's mind immediately showed the image of his body being torn apart by those black tentacles, or being chewed through by a three-tailed mouse.

In view of the fact that most of the magic "exchanged" from the dream world brought him unprecedented "novel experiences", Xiuge immediately decided to nip these potential risks and threats in the cradle. He adjusted his expression, He instantly turned into the most studious student in class and asked seriously: "So, Miss Weilin, what should I do in this situation?"

Wei Lin was a little surprised by Shuge's rapid change of attitude. She shrank back slightly, and then said, "There are three different strategies that can be adopted based on the school type and danger of magic itself."

"The first one is very simple. Give up these magics for the time being and don't use them again without having enough knowledge about them. This is the safest and most stable method... But judging from the current situation , Mr. Shuge, you will definitely not choose it."

Wei Lin raised a second finger: "The second one is to find a way to communicate with these magics at the magic level. After all, magic can actually be regarded as a condensation of knowledge and rules. As long as you invest enough magic power, , then their patterns will become clearer.”

"In fact, this is also the method that most spellcasters will use when encountering this situation. It is also very reliable and safe, but depending on the magic, the time and energy required will vary. .”

Wei Lin tilted her head: "However, for beginners of magic, this method will be particularly difficult. There is a standard magic ritual process in the Legal Committee to assist, but unfortunately, you can't use it now. Up."

After listening to the first two suggestions given by Wei Lin, Xiuge's brows could not help but frown. Time was his most scarce resource. He did not have time to find a small room to hide and slowly start from scratch. Learn those basics of magic.

So, with the last glimmer of hope, Shuge asked: "So, what about the last one?"

"The last one is the fastest and most risky."

Wei Lin put away her fingers, obviously she did not recommend this third method: "This method can only be used by casters who have completed the magic inscription, that is to say, the mage who uses it must at least reach the Stream level' and above."

Hearing this, the expression on Xiuge's face became a little unbearable: "It sounds like this method also has strong requirements for magic knowledge..."

"Wrong, Mr. Sugar."

Wei Lin shook her head: "The reason why those mages who have completed the engraving choose this method is precisely because they cannot understand the magic they are exposed to, and this type of magic is often called 'evil magic'."

Xiuge once again heard this word that was literally extremely dark and evil, so he asked: "I remember that Miss Weilin mentioned before that my magic has traces of evil?"

"Well, yes, you should have noticed it yourself, right? The magic you have accepted is different from the conventional magic and tricks used by mages. Their power is even more amazing, but their appearance and properties are different. More sinister."

As she spoke, Weilin pointed to the kitchen and then to the damaged decorative cabinet: "Sorcery and magic have always been an important issue that has troubled the Legal Committee. It is difficult to explain it clearly here, but the Legal Committee Scholars here generally believe that evil magic is magic created by a group of ancient gods who once occupied Van En, and it is precisely for this reason that they are difficult to analyze with the knowledge of today's magic schools."

This should be a very common explanation, so Wei Lin said it very casually, but these words carried considerable weight in Xiuge's ears.

The moment he heard these words, he remembered the figure he saw when he first entered the dream world.

The silent figure wearing a black dress whose face was indistinguishable.

Wei Lin didn't know what Xiuge was thinking now. She continued: "So, if you think that the magic you have engraved comes from gods that no longer exist, you can try this last method... With your With your intuition and understanding of these magics, you add your own spirit and will to them, and when you completely 'conquer' these magics with your own will, their true names will naturally appear in front of you."

"Conquer a...magic?"

"It sounds barbaric, but in the face of existences that cannot be guessed by common sense, this can be regarded as a method."

At this point, the female mage finally became a little tired. She pushed up her glasses slightly and said, "Mr. Shuge, although the Legal Committee has existed for a long time, our exploration and research on magic has never stopped. Even the most knowledgeable magic masters are like children in front of its mysteries, so sometimes, some bold attempts are necessary."

Her voice was very soft, but Xiuge could clearly hear a sense of fanaticism in it.

Wei Lin's attitude towards magic is very much in line with his imagination of the magic scholars in the Legal Committee. Without this spirit of inquiry and adventure, she might not be able to become a lake-level magic consultant at this age.

"How about... let me try?"

With the idea of ​​"giving it a try", Xiuge sank his attention into the spiritual world. Weilin, who was sitting opposite, immediately realized what Xiuge was thinking at the moment. She did not stop her, but kept quiet. He opened the magic book in his hand and pressed his finger on one of the pages, ready to tear the page out quickly.

At this time, Xiuge had no idea what was happening in front of him. All his energy had been concentrated on the slowly rotating magic disk. Just like before, when he started to look at the grooves on the disk , the magic pattern located in the groove also began to move, but this time, Xiuge changed his strategy. He tentatively mobilized his magic power and slowly probed towards the magic engraved on the disc.

Perhaps his intention was too obvious. This time, the tentacles and mouse patterns located in the grooves were much restrained. They were like wild beasts that sensed the approach of the hunter, twisting and twisting in their own grooves. It started to move, and when Xiuge's magic power reached the edge of the groove, entanglement and confrontation broke out.

The first ones to launch the "attack" were those black tentacle patterns. At this moment, they seemed like beasts that were forced into a blind corner, and they took the initiative to pounce when there was no way to retreat.

The tentacle pattern active in the groove of the disc took the lead in launching an "attack". Those black tentacles hit the edge of the groove hard. This action caused the metal disc to tremble slightly, and the three tails The mouse became restless immediately. It showed its claws and began to scratch in the grooves. Then a slight sting and a series of annoying noises immediately filled Shuge's brain.

"That's enough."

The veins on Xiuge's forehead popped out. As the metal disc continued to tremble, his magic power quickly flowed into the center area of ​​the metal disc, and the dark green magic crystal was reflected by his actions. A brighter light emitted from underneath, the dark dark green light and shadow mixed with Shuge's magic power, and rushed like running water towards the groove where the tentacles and the three-tailed mice were "incarcerated".

At the moment when the magic power covered the metal groove, the rotation speed of the central disk began to increase, and the groove that bound the tentacles and mice like a cage also stopped trembling. Under the suppression of the magic power and the metal disk, the restless magic pattern was very It soon calmed down completely.

It seemed like something had changed, but it seemed like nothing had happened.

Shuge withdrew his attention from the spiritual world in confusion, and at this moment, two distant and unfamiliar messages echoed from the depths of his consciousness, as if they were slowly rising from the bottomless abyss. The bubbles floated up precariously, and finally transmitted their weak voice into Xiuge's mind.

"Charron's touch is the manifestation of the sea god's will. Wherever the tentacles reach, there is the boundary of the sea."

"The running rat is the chariot of the Mother Earth, and the gorgeous three tails are a symbol of fertility and blessing."

At this moment, Xiuge finally knew the names of the two magics he had mastered.

"Charron's Touch, Running Rat..."

Xiuge silently recited the strange names of these two magics in his mind. He tried to search for information related to them in his memory, but the names of the gods mentioned in those two messages were extremely vague.

Shuge can be sure that the god "Charron" is not included in the information he knows about this world. In today's Van En, the sea god worshiped by the seaside area and its residents is named "Shiron". ", is the brother of Mel, the goddess of magic who controls the water in the world.

As for the "Earth Mother Goddess", this title does not have a specific reference in Van En. Many powers related to the earth, fertility, and reproduction are scattered among several gods, and these gods are also widely believed by farmers, hunters and other groups. .

"That doesn't sound good. What kind of Earth Mother God would choose a swarm of running rats as her chariot...and a rat with three tails is not a sign of fertility no matter how you think about it."

Just when Xiuge was about to observe his two magics again, a sudden palpitation interrupted his train of thought. He forcibly escaped from the trance, and the moment he woke up, Xiuge's spiritual world The magic disk immediately began to rotate.

This time, its rotation speed is much faster than before. Countless metal gears are constantly meshing during the rotation, and the magic patterns of "Charron's Touch" and "Running Rat" that have obeyed Shuge are even more... Restless, but now they no longer dare to collide with the metal disc that contains them, and they just keep turning and hovering in that small space.

"Something is wrong."

Xiuge stood up suddenly. Only then did he realize that the female mage sitting opposite him had already taken action. She tore out three pages from the magic book with a dark face, and her magic luster emerged from between her fingers. , and quickly lit up the magic patterns in these papers.

Wei Lin's cold voice floated over: "Do you have anything else to take?"

"No more, it's all on me."

"Then go quickly, someone is coming."

As she spoke, Weilin quickly flicked her wrist, and three pages with different magics engraved on them flew out. One page landed in front of where the two of them were sitting, one fell in the hall, and the last one was picked up by the mage. He caught it in the air and took it to the door.

At this time, the sense of urgency coming from Shuge's spiritual world had become more and more obvious. He didn't bother to confirm the situation with Weilin, picked up his windbreaker and ran towards the empty storage room directly opposite the kitchen, where There is a basement that has never been completed, which is connected to the abandoned courtyard behind the old house.

The moment Wei Lin followed Shuge into the storage room, the closed door of Ernst's old house cracked on the spot under the impact of an invisible force, and the door turned into fragments that ran across the entire place like blades. In the foyer, before these "visitors" could step into the room, a densely textured page from the Legal Committee's special book fell just right from above their heads.

In the center of the page, a dazzling red fire spread rapidly.
