Chapter 470 - Your Interests Decide Your Stance (1/2)

Roland began to note down his findings after he returned to his stone house.

Although the discussion with Montasisa in the cla.s.sroom wasn’t of any substantial help, some of Montasisa’s opinions were quite insightful for Roland. They could help enlarge Roland’s database.

In data processing, even wrong data could be useful. If they were recorded, it would be possible to avoid making the same mistake later.

Also, in many cases, while the data might be wrong in a certain project, they could be right in another project or environment.

Therefore, a big database was very important.

But a database could not be filled and expanded without being worked on bit by bit every day.

Roland was rather busy in the coming days. He went to school during the day and conducted magic experiments at night.

The advantages of a Golden Son were too obvious. Leaving aside his critical thinking brought by twenty years of systematic education and his abilities in self-learning, he made progress much faster just based on the fact that he didn’t need to sleep.

After only one month, neither Roland nor Betta had cla.s.ses with the other students anymore.

They spent most of their day in the library.

Now, Roland was mainly working on magic arrays and spatial magic.

The greatest problem for Roland was that he couldn’t teleport anyone else apart from himself.

In terms of magic arrays, neither Montasisa nor Triton could teach him anymore.

As for the mentors of a higher level, Roland and Betta didn’t have access to them yet.

Those mentors would always go home for experiments or to learn new knowledge when their cla.s.ses were over. It was hard to meet them.

Therefore, Roland simply read the books in the library and took photos of them with the system camera.

Betta, on the other hand, was studying Enchantment and fundamental magic theories.

A Warlock only had limited spell slots. They couldn’t learn too many spells.

However, they could still “manufacture” spells with scrolls.

That was not a bad idea. For a regular Warlock, they couldn’t carry too many magic scrolls even if they had a huge backpack. Also, they wouldn’t be given time to search their backpack for the scrolls they needed when they were caught in a battle.

But the players were different. They each had an eight-cubic-meter system Backpack, and they could out take whatever they wanted with their minds. It was even faster than taking things out of their pockets.

If they knew enough spells and made enough scrolls, a Warlock could be treated as a half-Mage.

That was a trick that Betta had thought of.

After all, there were too many useful spells out there.

On this day, when Roland was reading in the library, a young elven Mage came to him and asked him a few questions regarding nodes.

After his questions were answered, the elf left in delight and reflected on what he just learned.

There were a few, but not too many, elven Mages in the Red Magic Tower.

Although the elves were adept at natural magic, they didn’t think it was bad to learn human beings’ neutral elemental magic.

The neutral elemental magic was available for all intelligent creatures, unlike the natural magic that only the elves could learn with the highest efficiency.

With his elven bloodline, Roland was naturally amicable to the elves.

This elven Mage didn’t just ask questions. He also taught Roland two very interesting elven spells.

One of the spells was Blossom Acceleration, which could make flowers blossom faster, and the other one was Tranquilization, which could calm one’s mind.

They didn’t sound very useful, but Roland noticed something wrong, especially about Blossom Acceleration. At first, he thought that the spell would make flowers grow faster by providing more nutrition for them.

But then, Roland realized that it wasn’t the case at all!

After casting Blossom Acceleration, a bud would grow within a minute and bloom into a flower.

It wasn’t nutrition addition at all, but making an object appear as what it would look like a long time later.

Also, Roland found that the life expectancy of the plants that he cast Blossom Acceleration upon was shortened.

It made Roland even more curious about the significance of the spell.

Time couldn’t be reversed or accelerated.

Then, how did Blossom Acceleration make flowers blossom in advance?

Any regular researcher would have such questions.

It was just like when water turned into ice, ordinary people would only think that it was because the weather was cold, but the physics researchers would have lots of questions, like why liquid would turn into solid, why the weather was cold, what “cold” meant, etc.

They almost had infinite questions.

In the eyes of the regular Mages and most elves, Blossom Acceleration was just a spell that made flowers blossom. They didn’t sense anything wrong.

But for Roland, this spell involved many magic principles that he had never gotten in touch with before.

Unfortunately, due to his lack of expertise in elven magic, he had a strong headache when he saw the overlapping circular nodes on the spell model.

As for Tranquilization, it was a mental spell in natural magic.
