Chapter 16 Magic and **

After learning about the history of magic, I saw that it was still early, and continued to look at the principles of magic. In the beginning, the arcanists of Netheril didn't need to prepare spells in advance. Most of them didn't need magic spells and gestures to cast magic. They are different from modern mages, but once they fail to learn this spell, they cannot learn this spell again for life. Casting magic needs to consume something called arcs, and the amount of magic they mastered was small at that time. The number of casts is not as many as modern mages. However, since the goddess of magic in the Netheril era has not closed the direct connection between mages and magic sources, their super magic is stronger than it is now.

Later mages cracked the secret called "arc" through research, which is the speed and concentration of brain operations. Magic is prevalent in modern times. Mages calculate the entire trajectory of magic in their brains, then lead them into the magic through gestures and singing, and finally release it by concentrating. Most of the magic is complicated and precise. In order to protect the brain from being burned after each calculation, the magic will remove the structure of the spell from the memory every time the magic is cast. This is why it is necessary to prepare again after casting a spell. Therefore, the more intelligent people master the more spells. From this point of view, the magic protects the brains of the mages so that they will not stop dying from overload. Magic has become easier to learn and safer since the age of magic, of course this is only relative.

Seeing this, Henry understood that the mage is equivalent to a sophisticated humanoid computer in the process of casting spells. Gestures are equivalent to data transmission, and chants are equivalent to special passwords. Enter the password only when the computer operation result is correct and the data is transmitted safely. Finally, the magic will be finally cast through concentration. Through in-depth study and memory, mages have found that all magical structures have similarities or similarities. They cleaned out the repetitions from their brains and gained the ability to record more spells at once. This is the reason for the upgrade of the mage level.

In Henry's view, it was nothing more than a humanoid computer optimizing the storage unit. The original hard disk has a new space, which can store more files, that's all. After learning what magic was, fatigue inevitably began to affect him. It's time to sleep Henry thought of putting down the book in his hand. After lying down for a while, the snoring sounded. He is very tired today.

For the next ten days or so, Henry kept going back and forth between the library and the bedroom. A large number of books are read, understood and memorized by him at a rate of 30 per day. Fortunately, most of the books do not have many words. In addition to buying hundreds of blank scrolls and two bottles of ink from Ta Ling, he copied the spells into scrolls before going to bed. Just as he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, Tarling Freeman informed him that tomorrow would be July 1st. At 1:00 pm tomorrow, the owner of the Mage Tower in the lobby on the first floor, Tyrantyr, will answer his questions.

Henry woke up after hearing the news. It turned out that he still had ten free questions to ask this month. After thinking about it for an hour, he took a piece of parchment and wrote down the questions with a pen to prepare for his tutor to answer them tomorrow afternoon.

At 1:00 p.m. the next day, Henry came to the lobby on the first floor with paper and pen on time. As soon as he came down, he saw a young man waiting for the master with a pen and paper just like him. Seeing Henry, the young man smiled at him, bowed slightly, and said in a hasty tone, "Hi, I'm Merican, a student of Mentor Tyrantier's. You must be his new student Henry."

Henry returned the gift immediately. "Hello, Mage Merikan. I'm Henry. Nice to meet you."

After greeting each other, Merikan stared at his notes in a daze. Henry began to look at this "strong man" carefully. His brown eyes were full of passion, and his hair was messy and already curling up. A magic robe was riddled with burnt holes and various oil stains. This is a rather easygoing and somewhat slovenly fellow. Of course, after excluding the disaster caused by his reckless personality and experiments. Henry's first impression of Merikan was not bad.

A few minutes later, Archmage Tyrantir came to the hall. And sat down in front of the two students. "Now let's ask questions, first of all you Merikan."

"Mentor, I exploded again when I made the flame protection ring recently. I checked the magic pattern carved on it carefully and found that there is no problem."

"Damn! Melican, I have warned you many times, don't do things beyond your ability. You think you can make some magic items with your poor spellcasting ability. What you should do now is to learn, you see Henry has never done a magic experiment since he entered the magic tower. He stays in the library every day to learn knowledge." The archmage stood up angrily and yelled at Merican.

Merikan blushed and said loudly to his mentor, "I will succeed! The future of magic lies in adventure and creativity, you old stubborn old man." Then he turned and ran upstairs.

Tyrantier sighed. "I'm good friends with his grandfather, and I was sent here to study when he showed his magical talent. Maybe I didn't pay much attention at the beginning, and it was too late by the time he formed this character. Alright, let's Don't think about it, now ask your questions."

Henry thought for a while and asked the first question: "Mentor, what is the bottle of ** that I drank in the maze."

"Oh, that's a special mixed drug invented by the dark elves to torture and torture slaves. It can greatly stimulate the body's nerves and make it sensitive. I added a new one A little bit of scorpion venom from Ennook Desert. This amount is not enough to be fatal, but it can strongly stimulate the internal organs. Why are you interested in this? Are you a believer in Lauvita?" The archmage saw the gossip immediately Here comes the interest.

Henry gave a wry smile. "No, I'm not a believer in abusing women. It's just that I found that after being tortured by that bottle of **, my focus is more focused and my internal organs are stronger. Think of the side effects of this ** stimulation."

Tyran Tyr thought for a while. "Don't tell me I didn't pay attention, but there are really few people who can survive this kind of physical torture. During the experiment, most of the bears passed out the first moment after taking it. Many will not The determined ones will be tortured to the point of shock. If you want, I can give you some for free, but I need to record your physical changes."

"As you wish, mentor." Henry agreed happily when he saw the item in hand. In the following time, Henry asked the teacher about some puzzles he had read these days, and Tyrantier answered them one by one. Forty minutes of conversation was over.

Henry returned to the library to continue reading. During dinner, the Golem sent a large bottle of alcohol. After Henry checked and found that there was nothing wrong, he opened the bottle and poured out a small cup.

"Freeman, prepare to monitor my physical condition." After speaking, he drank it in one gulp. The sour taste hadn't dissipated yet, and the severe pain came as expected. This time he didn't need to worry about monsters and labyrinths, he just carefully felt the changes in his body. The muscles twitch violently, and the heart beats three times faster than before. The internal organs began to contract and release strongly due to stimulation. Every cell is releasing energy.

Henry found that the pain not only did not put his brain into a protective coma, but instead made him concentrate more, his mind was spinning fast now. Enduring the severe pain and struggling to stand up, he began to cast a first-level spell, Grease. After successfully casting the spell, Henry thought: "At least half the time faster than usual. Maybe it's because the heart beats faster, and a lot of nutrients and oxygen are brought to the brain and other parts of the body." After an hour of torture, Henry was sweating profusely lying on the ground. A quick breath of fresh air. Then he stood up slowly, and the effect of the medicine finally passed.

"Freeman, report in detail about my physical condition after drinking the drug." Henry ordered Ta Ling as he took off his clothes and prepared to take a bath.

"Reading the records, your body's heart rate gradually speeds up when you drink alcohol, and when it reaches the peak, it is 3.53 times the usual rate. All the muscles and internal organs in the whole body are in motion, and the cell activity is also 5 times higher than usual. The brain The calculation ability and concentration of your brain have also been temporarily strengthened. But this consumes a lot of your physical strength, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of 4 hours of long-distance running. After the effect of the medicine ends, your whole body is in a weak state, but your strength, endurance, and intelligence will all be in a state of weakness. Slightly strengthened after the break."

Hearing this, Henry lay in the bathtub and took a deep breath. Finally, the torment was not in vain, it seems that this drink will continue to drink in the future. "Report these situations to the mentor." After remembering his deal with the mentor, he ordered Ta Ling to hand over the body change information to the archmage.

On the top floor of the Magic Tower, Master Tyrantiel was having dinner. This is Ta Ling's voice: "Master, apprentice Henry asked me to pass this record to you." After speaking, a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air.

"Huh?" The nurse took a look and was taken aback and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect this kind of massage made when I was bored to have such an effect of improving physical fitness. But what I didn't even expect was that Henry This little guy really drank it. It’s a pity that he doesn’t become a believer of the Goddess of Abuse. Otherwise, maybe he will become a voter in the future. It seems that I have to study this potion in depth. It’s best to get rid of the painful side effects Weaken or remove it. Otherwise, not many people can endure this kind of torture." The archmage threw the parchment away, and the paper started to ignite spontaneously in the air. It was a pinch of ashes when it fell to the ground.

Henry doesn't know now what ** is about his beliefs. After soaking in the bath, I felt a lot more comfortable, and I was very hungry. At dinner, I ate four times as much as usual to feed my stomach. After reading for a while, I began to feel that my upper and lower eyelids were fighting. It seems that ** not only consumes physical strength, but also spirit. Thinking of this, he put down his book, turned around and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
