Chapter 30 The Price of Knowledge
Byron grabbed the rough draft of the painting that Thor had just explained, and stuffed the pen in it, including the absorbent pen, into his disguised big mouth.
He nodded to Thor, said "hmm" again, and then left Thor's dormitory.
As for Keli, she has been standing there without saying a word since Thor began to explain his three-dimensional model analysis rune method.
She stared at the table and did not come back to her senses even when Byron took away all the draft papers.
After a long time, Thor became a little worried.
Could it be the aftereffects of some parasite from the mutual aid society?
Although Senior Byron said that parasites are not life-threatening, he did not say that they would not harm the brain.
Judging from the appearance of those apprentices who were parasitized, there seemed to be something wrong with their brains.
Suddenly, Keli moved.
She opened Thor's door and rushed out like the wind. Before Thor could come to his senses, she rushed back like the wind with a bunch of things in her hands.
He kicked the door shut.
“Crash!”
A bag fell on the table, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
Then there was a book and something that looked like a grenade.
"These are all the magic crystals I have. These two are the most valuable things I brought with me. They are all yours!"
Keli clasped her hands together and bowed.
"Please tell me again, I didn't quite understand it just now!"
Thor didn't hesitate. He opened Kelly's purse, reached in with both hands and took out a handful of money.
But a lot of magic crystals were exposed from between Bai Gu's fingers.
It looked a bit regrettable, but Thor didn't feel like picking it up again.
Otherwise it would be a bit uncool.
"What is this?" he pointed to the thin booklet on the table.
"This is a spell book about the 0th-level magic of the fire element, Scorching Breath."
It’s actually a spell book?
Sol picked up the book but refrained from opening it.
"I have a copy of this book. This is the original. It also has the original owner's practice experience at the back."
Seeing Thor's excitement, Kelly felt proud, and her usual pride returned to her words.
"However, because it is a relatively powerful spell among the 0th-level spells, you need to learn two composite runes of the fire element when constructing the spell model."
"This spellbook alone is worth everything I taught you." Thor sighed.
A first-level apprentice can learn two witchcrafts from a mentor for free, and any more will require credits.
And the more powerful the witchcraft, the more credits are required.
Thor really didn't expect that Kelly had such a good thing in her hand. It seemed that the magic crystals she just took were a bit too much.
But Kelly didn't think that Thor had taken advantage of her at all. She even took the initiative to introduce the third thing.
"This is called Iron and Fire. It's a witchcraft tool. To use it, unscrew the lid at the back, pull out the cotton rope inside, and then throw it out within five counts. It will explode when it is hit hard or after the five counts are completed. There are sharp iron fragments inside that can penetrate the tough outer skin."
Wow, it’s really a grenade!
Keli's identity in the outside world should not be simple, otherwise it would be impossible for her to carry so many magic crystals with her, and even have a spell book and a witchcraft prop in her hand.
"I just taught you a rune."
The other party was so generous that Thor felt a little guilty.
"No, what you taught me is a method, a way of thinking." Keli said seriously, "Unfortunately, I don't have equivalent knowledge to exchange with you now, so I can only give you these mundane things."
Thor just shook his head.
It doesn’t matter, I like vulgar things.
…
When Keli returned, no one was hanging around in the corridor. Even if they were relaxing, they would not forget to continue studying.
Thinking about the strange laughter coming out of the freshmen who joined the mutual aid group, Thor secretly reminded himself that dangers were everywhere in this wizarding world and that Sid was not the only one who could threaten his life.
So no matter where you are, you must remain vigilant and alert.
Thor sometimes misses his previous life. Although the pressure of being a corporate slave is great, it is not life-threatening.
However, even his sleeping time was compressed, and the time he could use to recall the past was only a few seconds when he occasionally lost focus while studying.
In the next few days, Thor completely mastered the dark attribute compound rune and obtained the first level 0 witchcraft from mentor Kaz.
Learning the first two 0th-level witchcrafts does not require magic crystals or credits, and is equivalent to compulsory education by the instructor.
But if you want your tutor to fulfill his obligations, you can only wait until he is relatively satisfied with you or when he is in a good mood.
Otherwise, you may just get a cold response.
"How can you learn witchcraft if you haven't even learned the basics?"
And Thor's choice of the first witchcraft once again surprised Kaz. He chose organ preservation.
There is a determination to work in the morgue until death.
However, it made Teacher Kaz very satisfied, as he learned this witchcraft without spending much effort.
In addition to learning runes, Thor has also been training his mental strength these days.
The props used for exercise were the puppet dolls he borrowed.
Every time Thor exercises his mental power, he can still hear the puppet's cry for help.
The fragmented, whispering, and surrounding cries for help make people dizzy, and when the fierce and crazy "Kill me" appears, Thor will immediately sever the connection between himself and the puppet.
After being able to initially control his own mental power, the puppet's influence on Thor was limited.
"Sure enough, becoming stronger can solve the weirdness."
Thor let go of the puppet, placed her face down on the table, and continued to analyze the level 0 witchcraft to preserve the organ.
"If according to the view of the past life, the decay of corpses seems to be caused by the death of immune cells and the continued metabolism of microorganisms, then what is the principle of using witchcraft to preserve organs?"
Saul took out a new blank book and began to record his research on the preservation of organs in witchcraft.
When thinking about some knowledge about past lives, he would use words from past lives and deliberately write some typos that have the same pronunciation or similar characters.
Although he might be overthinking, Thor was still afraid that his thoughts might be deciphered.
The wizarding world can really slice you into pieces and study you!
"Could organ preservation be a microscopic magic similar to dehydration and sterilization? Just like food, if it is sealed and sterilized, it can be preserved for a long time."
Combined with the description of Mentor Kaz, Thor felt that he had a preliminary understanding of this witchcraft.
Next, he put down all his notes, took out three pieces of fresh organs that had been cut from the guests yesterday from the cabinet, and brought them to the table.
Thor stared at the first piece, and his mental power began to depict the runes that made up the witchcraft.
Raise your hands to the air and start dancing.
The hand gesture is the spellcasting gesture taught by mentor Kaz, which is necessary for newcomers.
Casting gestures serve as a guide that can reduce the possibility of spell failure and reduce the lethality of the backlash of failure.
Once you are proficient in casting spells, you can guide with one hand or without gestures.
Before Thor officially cast the spell, he had practiced the gesture hundreds of times, making the gesture a subconscious reaction of his body.
He also activated the corresponding basic runes in his spiritual body over and over again.
As compound runes consume too much magic power (after many adjustments, a compound rune will no longer consume all of Thor's magic power), Thor only dares to draw them with a pen to increase his familiarity.
But even after a lot of preparation, Thor's first spell still failed.
The magic power in his body fluctuated a little, and Thor had to calm down for a while before he could continue thinking.
“When building multiple runes together, it’s easy to get distracted, leading to a failed build or a lack of proficiency.”
After failing the first time, he did not get discouraged. Instead, he took out his crystal ball and immediately began to meditate to restore his magic power.
One o'clock, two o'clock,
Three o'clock,
When the candlestick above the teleportation platform lit up, Thor finally succeeded! Level 0 witchcraft, organ preservation, proficiency +1!
