Chapter 38 038: Graduation Thesis
"Avaloda Kenda."
The obscure tone echoed in the room.
Different from the spells Luo Xi had come across before, although both were rune languages, the pronunciation and combination of this spell were more disordered, and seemed to be more inclined to the ancient witchcraft template.
The wizard civilization at that time was still relatively backward, and the spells were not as organized and orderly as they are now. Many spells were quite confusing and sounded strange when recited.
“Hoohoo~”
As the spell was chanted, strange symbols suddenly appeared on Luo Xi's body surface. These symbols were like a greedy mouth, sucking towards Luo Xi continuously, and he could clearly feel his mental power draining away bit by bit.
On his first attempt, Luo Xi didn't dare to seal too much on himself, and only let them devour him for a short while before stopping.
As the spell stopped, these symbols also stopped at the same time like soldiers hearing orders on the battlefield. Then, under Luo Xi's control, they quickly gathered and shrank inward, finally forming a six-pointed star magic mark on the back of his hand, which quickly disappeared.
Luo Xi opened the system and took a look at the current properties.
Mental power: 8.6.
He then moved his mind, and the symbol on the back of his hand suddenly lit up. The dissipated mental power surged back again, and the numbers on the panel also changed rapidly.
Mental power: 8.8.
Luo Xi was very happy to feel the changes in his body. There were no side effects or adverse reactions. He was able to control his mental power freely with just a short spell. It was really great.
"Finally, I don't have to drink those nasty-smelling potions anymore!"
After trying a few more times and confirming that there was no problem, Luo Xi continued to seal his mental power.
He did not seal it randomly, but specially sorted out the improvement of his mental power in the past three years, dividing it into two parts, one is obtained by his own practice, and the other is quickly obtained through the system.
What he sealed was the part of mental power that was quickly obtained through the system, while the mental power obtained from his own cultivation was not processed much. Luo Xi calculated this part and it was about 3.7.
During these three years, he spent most of his time learning magical knowledge, and not that much time practicing to improve his spiritual power.
After some tossing and turning, Luo Xi's mental power quickly dropped to 5.1. This was the mental power he had obtained in the past three years purely through his own practice without the help of external forces.
“5.1, not bad.”
He has barely reached the level of 5 runes, which is outstanding among the apprentices of the same period. Take the chief apprentice Jeffrey for example, his mental power is only 5.5.
Luo Xi took a look at his spiritual sea of consciousness. The eight will runes inside had also changed as his strength decreased. Three of them had turned completely gray, and the magic patterns and rune tracks on them dimmed as if there was a power outage.
"Now I don't have to worry about exposing myself." Watching the mark on the back of his hand disappear little by little, a big stone in Luo Xi's heart fell to the ground.
The unusually rapid improvement in strength has always been a point of concern for him. After all, being one step ahead of others is a sign of genius, but being too far ahead is worth studying carefully. Although this is the White Wizard Realm, not every wizard is upright.
In the face of a great enough temptation, rules and laws are not that binding. Over the years, there are many people who have committed crimes and turned into dark wizards for the sake of their treasures.
After solving the problem of mental power, Luo Xi picked up the notebook and continued reading.
Demonology is actually a relatively ancient branch of knowledge in the wizarding world. Strictly speaking, its history is even longer than the wizarding world itself, and can be traced back to 10,000 years ago, when wizards were born.
Ten thousand years ago, the wizarding world began.
It is said that there were no wizards in this world at that time, and it was ruled by gods and demons.
In front of these powerful creatures, humans are very weak and can only allow the gods and demons to slaughter and devour them at will, just like they are easily accessible food on the table.
Such dark days lasted until a man named Merlin, who accidentally awakened his spiritual force field by chance and discovered the elemental energies that were omnipresent between heaven and earth.
These elemental energies are extremely powerful. They can change everything at will, and can also change themselves to make themselves more powerful.
Through repeated attempts, he finally mastered the skills to control the energy of these elements, and through it, he gradually became stronger and stronger, thus having the capital to resist gods and demons.
This is the original wizard, Merlin Douglas.
After that, the first wizard tower was built, and under the leadership of Merlin, humans rebelled against gods and demons.
In the face of the mighty power of magic, the once high and mighty gods and demons are no longer so invincible. They are defeated and slaughtered one by one, and even become experimental subjects on some wizards' experimental tables.
Some wizards control their power by studying them, transplanting their organs, etc. This is the origin of demonology in witchcraft.
By now, both gods and demons have almost disappeared from this world, and due to the lack of appropriate experimental materials, demonology, the once popular witchcraft discipline, has also declined, and now few wizard organizations still teach it.
"So that's how it is. The power of the devil comes from within, just like eels are born with the ability to discharge electricity and birds are born with the ability to fly."
"But the essence of this power is still the operation of rules and laws, just like a bird can fly because of the power of its wings flapping the air, and an eel discharges electricity because of the operation of its internal organs."
"The same is true for the source of the demons' powers. Their organs are born to conform to the rules of the world and the laws of power."
"So by transplanting these organs into one's own body, one can master these rules and laws to a certain extent, just like giving humans big enough wings so that they can use the aerodynamics of the wings to fly into the sky."
After reading this magic notebook carefully, Luo Xi has a certain degree of understanding of this ancient witchcraft knowledge. He feels that it has many similarities with the current bloodline studies. Both are of a regressive nature, tracing back to the power possessed by powerful creatures.
However, the two seem to be connected and have the same origin. After all, the sources of many powerful bloodlines can be traced back to these gods and demons at that time.
"This is a good topic for a 'graduation thesis'."
Before the internship officially ends, they have to submit a diary of their experience on the wizarding journey to the castle, which is similar to a graduation thesis in college, and they can choose the topic themselves.
Luo Xi hasn't decided what to write in this note, mainly because he doesn't want to write the same thing as others.
Apprentices of the same period took the same classes and learned the same things in three years. Over and over again, what they wrote was either the explanation of the structure of elements, or the combination and arrangement of spells, etc. There was a serious degree of homogeneity.
After reading this note, Luo Xi feels that he can start from this aspect. Demonology, there is no course in this area in the castle. It is impossible for someone to collide with him, right? (End of this chapter)
