Chapter 30 (1/2)
It's never easy for any wizard to compile spells, let alone an apprentice. There's no way to start.
Also, what Loren needs to complete is not a magic spell, not even magic. His goal is only to maintain some unstable void energy for a short time, at least in the shape of a ”sword”.
According to Isaac's calculation, if everything goes well, the so-called ”lightsaber” can last for a few seconds at a time, and then it will certainly disappear. And because it has the characteristics of a magic spell, every use consumes Loren's own spiritual power. The more times it is used, the heavier the burden will be.
Void, this is the key word that Loren really cares about - although this weapon sounds like an energy weapon maintained by its own ”power supply”, what really makes it work is the power of void.
Loren, sitting in the corner of the library, constantly searching for information in various documents, kept thinking about what he had experienced during this period of time.
The reason why this world is different from the world where they were before is not only because of the existence of emptiness, but also because the people's spirit and material in this world are separated binary existence. Their consciousness can not only exist in the real world, but also let their spirit enter another level after their body enters the dormant state.
Even now, Loren can't really understand what void is.
This is not an energy, but it can have an impact on reality, so that there will be mutant monsters, alchemy compounds and magic. It can even affect people's consciousness and make things completely contrary to common sense true.
It exists because it does not exist, but it is so accessible to wizards; While tempting everyone who yearns for this power, it also makes all those who pursue it fear from the bottom of their heart.
In a strict sense, Loren has experienced emptiness twice - the first time is in the cellar, and the guy named Asriel completely distorts the whole cellar space with the power of emptiness; The second time is in the process of meditation, the spiritual palace built by yourself is, to some extent, its own ”emptiness”.
But in comparison, the spiritual palace is much more harmless and much simpler.
Maybe I really should find a chance to really enter the void... When I think of what Dalton said before, Loren hesitated.
He has always hated such uncertain things, but his mental load intensity is completely lower than that of a real wizard. If he really wants to be a caster in the future, I'm afraid he doesn't have much choice.
But at least for now, I still have time - Loren is not in a hurry to leave vimpal college. Here, I can slowly get more knowledge and continue to understand the world until I am fully prepared.
No matter in any world or era, knowledge is power.
Of course, money is also power, but considering that the probability of bumping into the treasure is infinitely close to zero, the old knight Leonardo doesn't seem to have any rich relatives - otherwise he doesn't have to wander around. I was basically insulated from the ”rich” in a short time.
Reluctantly, he sighed and held the parchment he had copied in his arms. Loren, who was already familiar with the way, turned and walked in the direction of Isaac.
When he walked behind him, Lauren noticed something wrong - according to his previous understanding of this conceited guy, even if he was alone, he would jump up and down and keep talking to himself. It's like there are countless spectators looking at him with adoring eyes, waiting for others' cheers every minute.
But now Isaac Grantham seemed paralyzed, sitting motionless in front of the painted blackboard, quiet as if he had become a squirrel in a tree.
”Are you having a problem?” Lauren asked tentatively.
”No, what we have encountered is not a problem...” Isaac Grantham couldn't see any confidence on his face, and his face was a little dark muttering: ”I, maybe I'm too self righteous.”
