Chapter 15 (1/2)
”Spell learning? I can't believe you chose to focus on spell learning - was your brain kicked by a donkey?!”
Isaac Grantham's incredible scream filled all corners of the library in an instant. He stared at Lauren who was still smiling at him, as if he was convulsed with anger: ”no, I take back what I just said, your brain is kicked by a donkey!”
”It's just a last resort, Isaac.” Loren chose to automatically ignore what the other party said later. In the face of such people, he needs to be patient: ”if I have a choice, I certainly want to choose mystics. But I don't have time. The college will give me a task at any time. I must have the ability to protect myself in front of some monsters as soon as possible.”
”Then you can also choose alchemy. This subject is easy to understand and can be used as soon as you get started!” Isaac asked loudly, ”look, our ain Rand has been on the same level with me since taking alchemy!”
The little wizard on one side turned his eyes, his shoulders trembled, and tried his best to restrain the impulse to kill the bastard next to him: ”let me remind you, the great Isaac, even mentor Dalton, must admit that incantation is an extremely useful subject, especially in the face of many complex situations, a spell can solve many problems.”
”Oh... Yes, yes, that is, even a fool can wave a magic wand and turn the fool away!” Isaac shook his head to ”agree”, and then couldn't help spitting: ”it is because of these magicians that the image of the wizard has deteriorated and degenerated into what it is today!”
Some embarrassed Loren could only smile bitterly, shrugged his shoulders, looked at the little wizard on the side, and then ignored Isaac who was still talking.
But of course he didn't have to - it's true that Loren needs to master some skills as soon as possible and be able to cope with the upcoming task, but these are secondary. From the beginning, Loren didn't intend to be led by the nose.
So he needs strength, and the most direct and practical way is spell learning. This is a course full of structure and analysis, which is much more helpful to him than other disciplines.
To put it simply, the spell is like a formula that has been listed. Using magic is to fill in numbers into the formula, and then everything will take its course. For the novice wizard apprentice, this is the most convenient and safe way to contact the void.
But just knowing the ”formula” but not understanding it is like knowing its nature but not knowing its reason - unable to understand the reason behind those precise structures, just waving the wand mechanically, which is the origin of ”magic tricks” in Isaac's mouth.
However, all this is based on ”ordinary wizards” - they dare not touch the void too much, so they can only slowly understand and contact until their spiritual palace grows to a certain extent, so they can understand the principles behind those magic and understand its structure.
But all this is unnecessary for Loren.
He is not a native of this world, so as long as he learns magic, he can forcibly push out his original appearance according to the mantra, without worrying that his consciousness will be swallowed up by the void together with the spiritual palace, because he is not a member of this dual world, and his spiritual material is completely integrated.
Ordinary spell mages have to stop at those low-level spells because they dare not touch the void too much. At the same time, they can't bear too many spells because of the fragility of their spiritual palace. In front of Lauren, these so-called difficulties are like jokes. There is no need to worry about these problems.
But of course, Loren would not tell others this secret, even if it was Ayn Rand, who trusted him 100%, who recited it in his heart - the more he understood his ”talent”, the more Loren knew what it meant to other wizards.
They will break themselves into pieces for this secret, and then study them piece by piece until they find out.
”This is just selecting subjects.” looking at the little wizard who is still worried about his future, Loren shrugged his shoulders as if he doesn't care: ”with our talented Isaac Grantham and ain Rand, what else should I worry about?”
”Well... This sentence is really reasonable. I can't refuse my younger brother's request.” Isaac nodded seriously, and then glanced triumphantly at ain beside him: ”don't get me wrong. He said genius is me!”
