Chapter 709 The Soul Out of Body (4600 words, July monthly ticket plus 23)

What is magic?

This is what Yi Lin is most concerned about.

Cerberus has been appointed as Yilin's magic mentor.

She is also very responsible.

Without any nonsense, Cerberus quickly took an entry-level textbook from the bookshelf and began to explain it to Yi Lin.

Yi Lin has the foundation of "Magic" and "Crystal Pattern Technique", coupled with super high spiritual attributes, he has a hall-level comprehension ability, and he understands it very quickly.

But when he understood, he sighed secretly, and finally understood why Bathomelo Dylan agreed so readily this morning.

According to Cerberus, the so-called magic is indeed a mysterious science that can be "learned".

Magic is a phenomenon beyond common sense.

That is to say, magic is to make something that can be done under common sense, and make it happen in another non-sense way.

In the terminology of magicians, there is also the concept of "magic".

As soon as Yi Lin heard it, she became excited.

Magicians use "unconventional" means to accomplish things that "humans can do".

This is magic.

Just give an example.

— light a fire.

Modern technology, a lighter, a natural gas stove, or other ignition equipment can be easily completed.

Magicians, on the other hand, do not use modern technology to accomplish this kind of action.

Does this sound like taking off your pants and farting?

Indeed.

At least, Yi Lin sounds like it is.

And "things that humans can never accomplish" are called "magic".

The concept of magic is something that neither humans nor magicians can accomplish.

Speaking of magic, Yi Lin thought of the Supreme Mage again.

What the supreme mage uses is serious magic.

But his magic, according to his set of theories, is indeed beyond the reach of human beings. The supreme mage must communicate with the non-human bosses from other planes, and use their power to complete the "magic".

It took a while for Yi Lin to literally understand the essence of "magic".

"It's a science.

Well, sure enough, trust the science. "

Yi Lin understood.

In an instant, he once again, as a great engineer, drew inferences from one instance and talked with Cerberus in the library.

As Cerberus and Yi Lin chatted, there was an inexplicable change in their eyes.

For Cerberus, Yi Lin, an outsider who knew nothing about "magic" ten minutes ago, had already completed the "introductory education" of magic in less than an hour. This monstrous comprehension ability made Cerberus suspicious several times. She wondered if Yi Lin was a spy sent by Wandering Sea.

But impossible.

There are ways for magicians to recognize each other. That's a distinct "smell" that's almost impossible to hide.

Times are advancing.

The definitions of "magic" and "magic" have undergone subtle changes over time.

Still take "lighting a fire" as an example.

In the ancient stone age, when humans had not mastered "fire", "fire" was a kind of magic. Because, in the eyes of primitive people at that time, this was "something that human beings absolutely cannot accomplish".

But now, it has become a kind of "magic".

Another example is to destroy a mountain. In modern times, this kind of powerful magic was also regarded as "magic", but with the development of science and technology, mysterious decline, human thermal weapons emerge in endlessly, and even when nuclear bombs are invented, pure destructive power is no longer "magic". category.

this age.

There are fewer and fewer things that can be called "magic".

After mastering the simple definition of magic.

Of course it's getting down to business.

"I approve of your understanding." When Cerberus got to the point, she sighed softly. She hesitated for a moment, but she still turned around and took off her clothes in front of Yi Lin.

Yi Lin stared at it seriously.

He wouldn't be so foolish as to think that Cerberus had a sudden convulsion and licked his body.

Sure enough, on Cerberus' exposed white back, a complex tattoo that almost filled the back skin came into Yi Lin's eyes.

"This is the 'Magic Imprint'. Magic is not a technology that can be thoroughly studied and used freely by one generation. Magic is a technology that generations of magicians pass on their research, understanding, and experience to the next generation in this way. Knowledge."

"Besides, to become a magician, you must have an excellent bloodline, an excellent magic circuit in your body, and a huge reserve of knowledge. These three points are indispensable. In a short period of time, you will know what is Even magic can't be successfully introduced."

Cerberus calmly put on his tuxedo, turned around, as if nothing had happened, and lightly poured cold water on Yi Lin.

I don't know if it was Yi Lin's illusion, but when Cerberus said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Yi Lin didn't mind either.

He rubbed his palms, but his expression was strangely calm: "It's okay, even if you can't learn it, if you understand it, it may be helpful to find that treasure next."

Cerberus was stunned, she never expected that this despicable outsider would be so concerned about that matter. Cerberus lowered his head, clenched his fists, and remained silent.

"Can I read all these books?"

Yi Lin pointed to the vast sea of ​​books and asked.

"Can."

Cerberus replied: "However, let me remind you that every book has relevant magic set on it. I know that 'you' have a 'space' that can hide anything. But once any book is removed from If it disappears in this world, it will alarm the clock tower."

"A way to prevent theft? Hehe, I understand. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Then I'll read the book first, and I'll come to you if I have any questions."

Cerberus looked Yi Lin up and down several times with strange eyes, and seeing Yi Lin's sincere eyes, he silently left the place.

After Cerberus left.

The excitement that Yi Lin had suppressed for a long time finally surfaced on her face.

On the surface, the room is full of books.

But in Yi Lin's eyes, these are all precious knowledge, "treasures" whose value cannot be measured by any goods.

"I'm on fire."

Yi Lin laughed, like a hungry wolf, she rushed towards the bookshelf.

...

In the Clock Tower, there are many students who are obsessed with academic research.

They are collectively known as the Magician's Apprentice.

Apprenticeships span a wide range of ages.

The youngest is underage.

The oldest one was even gray-haired, and he was about to step into the coffin with a stomach full of knowledge.

The library is a public area.

Every apprentice is eligible to enter the library.

It's just that usually, there won't be too many people gathering.

Gradually, many people discovered a strange thing.

In the library, at some point, a strange person appeared.

This strange man is not wearing a magician's costume.

There was no attendant either.

There is no "taste" that a magician should have.

But he sits at the corner of the spiral staircase every day, with a pile of profound magic books in front of him, which he reads with gusto.

Quite a few times, when some veteran magician apprentices passed by weird people, they couldn't help asking: Can you understand?

But every time the apprentice magician who wanted to ask a question saw the strange man's face, for some reason, his expression changed, and he hurried away as if he hadn't seen it.

Until someone reported the incident to Cerberus.

The identity of the weirdo was confirmed: he was Cerberus's "specially recruited attendant", and he was approved by the monarch, Barthemelo, to come here to read books and increase his knowledge.

"It turned out to be so serious, intoxicated, and focused in order to let the boring and ordinary life, because I finally got bragging capital after coming to the clock tower, the holy place of magicians!"

Someone got it.

The above words, for short - don't know how to pretend.

...

Yi Lin is concentrating on reading.

He was deaf to what was going on outside the window.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

for three days,

He never took a step away from the library.

Work day and night.

On the way, Cerberus seemed to be curious whether Yi Lin died suddenly in the library, so he came to have a look.

With a dark face, she cleaned up the fruit peels, melon seed shells, and drink cups near the spiral corridor.

In the end, seeing that Yi Lin was really paying attention, she shook her head secretly, and left without making a sound, without disturbing her.

She has seen too many people like this.

A magician is not a profession that can be successful as long as you "know", "work hard", "persist" and "struggle".

Soon, he will hit a wall, and will perceive the great gulf between the magician and the non-magician.

Yi Lin was really engrossed in watching.

A few times, he didn't even notice until Cerberus was ten steps away.

Seeing Cerberus gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, silently cleaning up the trash for himself, Yi Lin closed her eyes every time, pretending not to notice.

After three days of intense reading and hard work, Yi Lin has a better understanding of "magic".

"Every human being has the potential to become a magician. Huh? What if it's not a human being? Can a dog do it?"

Yi Lin pointed to a sentence in the book "On Magicians from Beginning to Burial", and felt something was wrong.

Not rigorous enough.

never mind.

It doesn't matter.

Knowledge is closely related to insight.

Perhaps the magician who wrote this book has never seen a dog watching "Animal World" on a tablet while going to the toilet, nor a dog who can take a baby. Yi Lin gently closed the book "On Magicians from Beginning to Burial", and looked at the author's name - David Copperfield.

"But the above is not wrong, everyone has the potential to become a magician."

Erin nodded.

According to the magician's theory, everyone has an "origin".

The origin of each person determines the potential of a magician, and also determines the "magic attribute" of a magician with a high probability. Most likely, the attributes of a magician can be divided into: earth, water, fire, wind, and air. In addition, there are two rare attributes: imaginary number and none.

For the first five types, there are similar descriptions in many magic books. But about "imaginary numbers" and "nothing", most magic books are vague, and Yi Lin can't fully understand them.

Among them, a mathematician and magician named Descartes imagined and speculated on "imaginary numbers" and "nothing".

An "imaginary property" refers to something that exists in theory but does not exist in practice.

"Non-property" refers to something that doesn't exist in theory but does exist in practice.

So complicated!

This kind of illusory conjecture, which is more inclined to idealism, is the reason why Yi Lin can't fully understand these two attributes.

"Magic and crystal patterns, and even magic, have similarities."

"The three most basic elements in magic: the base plate, the technique, and the magic circuit."

"The so-called foundation is similar to the most basic language environment of magic. These include all cultures, religions, histories, and languages ​​in the world. These environments constitute magic itself. No wonder the Association of Magicians used to have branches all over the world. Because language In itself, it cannot be an obstacle to magic, but different languages, on the contrary, make magic more possible."

"That is to say, everything can be magic? Well, maybe, our 'Guwu' is also a kind of 'magic' in the eyes of magicians."

Yi Lin silently recalled the power of Mo Rendi's fist.

If Mo Rendi came here and punched these buildings a few times, would this group of magicians be astonished, calling the great magician Mo Rendi to lead people?

"As for the spells, it's easier to understand. Similar to the 'programs' compiled in advance, different spells play different roles in the same language environment. This is different from the 'crystal pattern', 'magic' ’, there are similarities.”

As for the third element, the magic circuit, this was an eye-opener for Yi Lin.

In crystallography, a circuit can be simply understood as a channel of energy. It is done with various lines and nodes.

But in magic, the magic circuit is "an organ" that exists in the magician's body. These organs, similar to blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels, circulate inside the body. Among them, it is precisely because of the magic circuit that Cerberus firmly believes that Yi Lin cannot learn magic in a short time.

Because the magic circuit is truly the essence and secret of a magician. Different magic families have technologies such as drugs to cultivate magic circuits, and these technologies are kept secret. To cultivate a magician's magic circuit may take several years, ten years, decades, or even a generation The cumulative superposition of successive generations can be completed.

This is also why, in some families of magicians, inheritance does not depend on bloodlines, but only on talent. Some families of magicians even take the initiative to send their beautiful daughters to their door because of someone's talent in magic circuits, trying to find ways to conceive with the blood of the other family, and then secretly hugging them back.

Or, if you saw someone with talent on the side of the road, you just slapped him on the head, took it back as an adopted son, and treated him as his own son.

In the world of magicians, it doesn't matter whether they are green or not, and it doesn't matter whether they are their own children or not. What matters is whether they have the talent to become a magician.

Magicians, what a bunch of weird people.

Even if the blood cannot be passed on, one must find a way to pass on the knowledge. It is difficult for Yi Lin to understand this kind of almost pathological attachment. What exactly is it that has attracted countless magicians, like moths to a flame, who have voluntarily begged for greenery a hundred times for more than two thousand years?

night of the fourth day.

Rao Yi Lin couldn't stand the high concentration even for seventy-two hours.

Yi Lin yawned, it was already late at night, he leaned on the fence of the spiral staircase, closed his eyes and took a nap.

He has been immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate himself.

Although Yi Lin was unable to master the subject of magic, he used it to open a new door.

The limitation of magic is even more outrageous than the crystal pattern technique, but from it, Yi Lin seems to have grasped a certain pattern.

Yi Lin has a premonition that as long as he can fully understand the true meaning of "magic", the degree of completion of his "free method" will be further improved.

Yi Lin's method of freedom was born out of crystal patterns and advanced to magic, but the theories involved in it were limited by Yi Lin's knowledge and could not be fully completed. This may also be the most important reason why Yi Lin's "Freedom Law" has not yet been rated as an [Enhancement].

Because of this "freedom law" itself, Lian Yilin still has doubts, and she has only a half-knowledge, so how can it be recognized by the tower?

"There's not enough time."

Yi Lin rubbed her eyes, and took out another interesting book from the bookshelf.

"Yo? It's so thick, "A New Edition of Astronomy"? The author is Barthelmelo G. Dylan, Lord Barthelmelo? That kid? Isn't he in charge of the 'General Basics'?"

Curious, Yi Lin opened the obscure book from heaven.

Looking at it, Yi Lin's eyelids began to twitch.

Tired, incomprehensible, boring, boring, all kinds of reasons made Yi Lin doze off.

"correct!"

While taking a nap, Yi Lin suddenly remembered a kind of magic.

A kind of magic that he had already mastered, but never had the chance to use on himself.

"Try it."

Yi Lin took out more than 50 heavenly books that she had read but didn't understand in one breath, selected the most boring and difficult page among them, and spread them out step by step on the steps.

After accomplishing this "feat", Yi Lin nodded in satisfaction, and while there was no one around, put on the [apprentice's hanging ring] on her index finger and middle finger.

Circles of magical textures emerged on the wrist, and then, Yi Lin slapped her chest hard.

Men, you have to be tough on yourself!

"Boom".

In front of my eyes, the world tends to stand still.

"Soul out of body!"
