Chapter 742 Additional Fallacy
My name is Yu Cang, and I come from Lan Village, a small village near the Arcane Corridor.
Although he was born in a humble family, he was appreciated by the mythical wizard Joan King who lived in seclusion here, so he was accepted as a disciple and became a wizard.
Become a mage... In the Roland Sky Realm, mages are the most respected group. Even the lowest-level mage apprentice cannot be insulted by the nobles.
Joan King likes a staff called "Soul Card", which is different from the mainstream magician system, and he also inherited this.
For a child from a small village, all this could naturally be called an adventure.
But my secrets don't end there.
I am a time traveler. When I became an adult, I awakened my own plug-in, the "Spell Recorder", which allows me to extract spells from all things and ignore the existing rules of the spell system and freely combine these spells into new spells!
With the help of this ability, I created countless spells. Those theoretically contradictory and irreconcilable spells were easily combined by me to create all kinds of impossible miracles.
Later, I heard about the prophecy left by the half-human, half-god wizard Vaughn, and by chance, I learned that... I was the savior who would save Roland Sky Realm as predicted.
This burden is a bit too heavy, but I have no other choice.
Later, my village was invaded by the demons from the abyss, and even Joan King said it was very difficult.
However, the legendary archmage Stardust who lived in Heggrasev learned of his identity as the son of prophecy and invited him to his mage tower, claiming that he had a way.
That's a true legend! A true disciple of the First Creator, Saint George!
He even has his own seat in the Parliament of Offa!
This means that Stardust has the right to veto any major decisions other than those related to the basic operation of the world!
Of course, this right is rarely used... After all, the voting process can only be started when all seats simultaneously believe that a vote is necessary, and most seats trust the decisions of the Council of Olympians and generally will not waste their secluded time on this.
Moreover, the voting result is not a majority decision, but a unanimous veto. As long as there is one vote in favor of the Offa Parliament's approach, it will not change its mind.
But even so, it is enough to show how powerful Star Dust is.
To go to Hegrasev, one must first verify his identity as a mage... This is quite simple for him.
Although he had never tested it, his own mage realm had already far surpassed that of a mage apprentice.
Just wait.
I will definitely get Stardust's help to save my hometown, bring the mage's education back home, and help the people in my hometown become mages...
Then, with everyone's help, he faced the prophecy of world destruction, became the savior, and saved Roland Sky Realm.
For the mage...for Roland!
…
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Yu Cang took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasy emotions in his heart.
Although I always feel something is strange, but... it must be because it is my first time in a big city and I am not used to it.
This also shows that he still has a long way to go and cannot give up easily.
Pushing open the door, Yu Cang arrived at the third level.
This level is also one of the nine subjects, and it is the most basic one.
Plastic energy department!
Getting this subject in the mage test is neither good nor bad.
No matter which tutor you choose, this subject is a compulsory subject and will basically be the one you are most familiar with.
Its characteristics are the calling and shaping of energy to carry out elemental attacks and destruction.
This subject represents the most basic ability of a wizard. Spells that manipulate fire and lightning to attack belong to this subject, and many other subjects are based on it.
Therefore, if you are chosen for this subject, it means that at least you will not start the test unprepared, but the downside is... the difficulty of this subject will also be increased accordingly.
But for most mages, there is definitely an idea to solve the problem.
Buzz!
It was still the familiar space, with a gray sky and endless stone ground.
Yu Cang stopped on the ground. He looked in front of him and saw a towering white stone pillar with many iron chains wrapped around it, and a golden "holy grail" tied to the stone pillar.
In front of the stone pillar, there is a small platform with a crystal ball on it.
He began to recall the rules of the third level test.
There is pre-prepared magic power in that crystal ball. What he needs to do next is to call upon this magic power and use it for the energy-shaping spell to break the iron chains on the stone pillar.
Get the Holy Grail and get the problem of this level from it.
The difficulty is obvious - the crystal ball is not a professional energy storage device, there will not be much magic power in it, and the resistance is very high. There is a high probability of failure when calling on the magic power, and even if it succeeds, it will cause waste.
This step tests the mage's energy perception and mental strength.
Then, observe the materials of the chain and the Holy Grail, use the most appropriate spell to cut the chain... and do not affect the Holy Grail.
This tests the mage's decision-making and control.
The material of the Holy Grail is very sensitive, and the slightest contact with magic will cause the golden color to dim, so Yu Cang must concentrate all his strength on the iron chain.
For other mages, this level is obviously very difficult, but Yu Cang's strength has long exceeded the standard of a mage apprentice, so it is very easy.
The only difficulty lies in the energy mobilization... Yu Cang inherited Joan Jin's unique school of thought. The way he obtained magic power mainly came from the direct exploitation of mental power, rather than from the outside world, so he basically had no idea how to mobilize external magic power.
At this time, he needs to use his plug-in.
Spell recorder!
Yu Cang walked to the crystal ball, raised his hand, and a blank soul card staff appeared in his palm.
Next, he would write a spell on the spot to deal with this situation!
Yu Cang's spell library appeared before his eyes, and he began to select a suitable spell.
Hmm... [Spell], [Energy], [Absorb], [Slash], [Invisible]...
He had already memorized all the spells in the spell library, so it didn't take long for him to select the appropriate spell combination, striving to ensure the success rate and the most suitable one for the current situation.
Hmm... 51%? It's high, but still a bit shaky... Is it because of the addition of a legendary item?
If it fails, then even if you combine other spells, you may not get a spell that is suitable for the situation.
In that case...
Yu Cang picked up the blank staff, stretched out his hand, and the array writing pen was already at his fingertips.
Let him add some details first.
rustle……
Yu Cang began to draw on the staff.
But he did not draw it to complete this soul card, but to add some relevant rhythms to increase the success rate.
It has been a while since he got the spell recorder, so Yu Cang naturally has a lot of experience in how to increase the success rate.
Starlight shone in his eyes, and he began to analyze the crystal ball and holy grail in front of him through his starry vision, in order to add some corresponding rhythm - this was also to guide the direction of spell implantation, weaken randomness, and ensure that he could get the spell he wanted.
Not long after, Yu Cang had modified and completed this blank soul card according to his own ideas. Now, although this blank soul card has not yet become a card, if it is implanted with the same spell formula, it already has a 91% success rate.
Looking at this data, Yu Cang raised his brows slightly.
It has improved so much?
Even he hadn't expected this situation... But, it's a good thing after all.
Yu Cang snapped his fingers and activated the spell implantation.
Buzz!
Light lit up above the blank soul card staff. Obviously, the implantation was successful!
Yu Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
As expected.
…
Spell Name: Enchantment
Category: Plastic Science
Quality: Heirloom
Attributes: Empty
ability:
[Energy Shapeshifter]: If there's a usable energy source, this ability can be activated without consuming mana. Draws energy from it, creating a single slash.
…
Perfect.
Yu Cang sensed it briefly and found that this spell's ability to call upon energy was exaggerated.
Even though what was before him was just a low-quality crystal ball, this card could fully draw out the energy within it, with the loss rate perhaps being less than 1%.
After all, it is a spell of the legendary level. Putting it in such a test is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
"good."
Yu Cang nodded with satisfaction.
This soul card can be used even after testing.
The advantage zone is simple and crude. It can mobilize the energy in the environment to supplement the damage and weaken the opponent when appropriate... and the death cooldown is very short, so it can be used frequently.
If it is activated directly with one's own magic power, its power will be very weak.
It is a means of damage with almost zero usage conditions.
However...what he didn't notice was.
The back of this "staff" card back pattern doesn't seem to be the default card back like the other soul cards, but... it has become the shape of a giant dragon's head...
In Soul Card Staff, card backing is generally not important.
Joan Jin did teach Yu Cang how to use special card backs to enhance the power of spells, but to be honest, it was a bit of a long way around. Spending more time on drawing soul cards would have the same effect.
Today's universal card backs are the best card backs after countless years of experimentation, and they are far superior in this field.
Therefore, Yu Cang usually doesn't pay attention to the card back of the new card, and thus... he didn't notice the changes this time.
He simply raised his hand and used the staff to cast the spell.
Click!
The staff shattered, and the crystal ball in front of him quickly dimmed. The color in it continued to flow into the air and gathered beside Yu Cang's hand.
Shaping energy!
laugh!
A short tearing sound flashed in the air, and the next second, the iron chain on the stone pillar broke!
Yu Cang's control ability was also quite amazing. He accurately cut off all the chains without damaging the stone pillars at all, not to mention the Holy Grail next to it.
The Holy Grail slowly fell from the sky intact, and then stopped beside Yu Cang's hand.
Yu Cang seemed to have noticed something, so he reached out, took the holy grail in his hand, and looked at the rim of the cup.
Well... at this moment, the cup was filled with golden unknown liquid, without a drop spilling out.
When Yu Cang looked at the liquid, a layer of ripples suddenly spread across the surface of the liquid. Then, those ripples on the water surface seemed to suddenly turn into some kind of solidified wrinkles, and then...
A crack suddenly appeared on the water surface, and the wrinkles turned into eyelids. In the cup, an eye opened, filling the entire rim!
This eye looked like a dragon's pupil. After spinning for a moment, it looked straight at Yu Cang.
This is the "Dragon Cup", a sacred object in the legend of Roland Sky Realm. What is in front of us should be just a replica.
Obviously, if a lot of liquid in the cup spills out when the chain is cut, the Dragon's Eye will not be able to open, and this level will naturally be declared a failure.
"Mage."
A dull sound came from the cup, as if it was made by some huge creature in very deep water.
The dragon's pupils in the cup just shrank slightly, and it was unknown which part of the body was making the sound.
"Let me ask you this question: What is the sixty-seventh fallacy?"
Yu Cang calmed himself down, the relevant knowledge flashed through his mind, and he began to answer.
…
Yu Cang answered the first two questions smoothly.
But for some reason, when it came to the third question, the Dragon Cup suddenly stopped.
Yu Cang waited for a while before he heard a faint voice.
"Master... do you think that the history of Roland Sky Realm only has 99 fallacies?"
When this question came out, Yu Cang was slightly stunned.
How should I answer this?
Just like the old man’s question in the first level, this is obviously also a subjective question.
But the difference is that the answer to this question seems to be obvious.
History is written by humans, and humans cannot be selfless.
Even if the history recorded after the rise of the Council of Offa could be considered accurate, what about before that? That history couldn't possibly be objective.
Including the truths that have long been covered up, there are definitely more than 99 fallacies.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Cang said, "There should be more."
"So, what is the 100th fallacy?"
“…”
A confused look flashed across Yu Cang's eyes.
100?
This number shows that it is definitely at the end of history, not before.
The information he read from the two books flashed through Yu Cang's mind, but no matter how he compared the contents of the two books, the number of fallacies was only 99.
But… for some reason, as he continued to ponder this question, a slight sense of unreality arose in his mind. The world before him seemed to be constantly distorting, as if it were an illusion about to shatter…
What is it, what is it...
Did he overlook something important?
Yes, yes...
Suddenly, a line of words flashed before his eyes.
This line of words came from both books given to him by the doorman:
...In the year 192807 of the Etheric calendar, "Huang" appeared and ravaged the Roland Continent. ...
!
Yes, it's you!
Roland Sky Realm should have been deserted long ago... Ugh!
Buzz!
Suddenly, I don’t know what happened, the distorted world in front of me returned to normal, and the confusion and struggle in Yu Cang’s eyes gradually faded.
He opened his mouth and said, "...There is no 100th fallacy, sir."
Long Tong said nothing, but just looked at Yu Cang deeply.
"You passed," he said. "Go back, but remember—knowledge cannot be trusted completely."
