[You chose the black magic inheritance. 】
Mu You is not yet sure what form the reward of this inheritance will be, so he first clicked on the black magic inheritance he needed most, and at the same time held his pocket watch, ready to say 'I want them all' again whenever there is a chance.
[Inheritance is being distributed...]
As this new prompt popped up, Mu You suddenly felt like there was something in the back of his mind.
It was a pitch-black cube with a surface like a circuit board, with countless luminous lines engraved on it, and the lines were filled with a large number of mysterious star spirit runes.
At the same time, a memory flooded into his mind. During a period of dizziness and hesitation, Mu You quickly understood a lot of things.
A long time ago, the earliest magicians in the star world discovered that they could control the 'ether' in their bodies to change the world. This energy is also called spiritual power, spiritual energy, magic power, etc., so magic was born. . But all the magic at that time was not very powerful, at least within the scope that humans could understand and safely control. This type of magic was called 'white magic'.
Until one day, a genius magician with a spirit of exploration discovered that he could also control the 'ether' in the air to release magic. Human beings' own ether is limited, but the ether in nature is infinite. The magic released by this method, The power is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary magic!
Thus, black magic was born!
However, people soon discovered that black magic has its drawbacks. The result of allowing unlimited natural energy to flow into the body is that it is extremely easy to lose control!
The vast majority of spellcasters immediately lost their minds and permanently transformed into some kind of monster after using black magic for the first time.
Only a handful of black magicians who were cautious, careful, and talented enough were able to temporarily escape this bad luck, and through constant attempts, they gradually figured out the rules: black magic must be cast according to a specific energy operation method. , once there is any deviation in any step, it will immediately lead to out-of-control results.
This is like walking a high-altitude tightrope with twists and turns. Every step must be done carefully and with extreme precision, otherwise it will be a doomed end.
It is precisely because of the extremely difficult control of black magic and the huge cost of losing control that countless wizards spontaneously began to resist black magic, classifying it as a forbidden technique, and strictly prohibiting anyone from using it or trying it.
This situation lasted until seven hundred years ago, when a talented young magician, together with eleven other black magic enthusiasts, developed a way to overcome the curse of black magic: they stripped away all the black magic and removed the cocoons from it. The most core underlying logical runes of black magic were analyzed, and a pure black magic source framework without any side effects was constructed.
As long as the natural magic power passes through this 'framework' first, and then the magic is output, it will become absolutely safe and black magic that will not get out of control! This kind of black magic that has been 'safely processed' is named 'pure black magic', also called 'secret magic', and the framework of black magic is called 'secret magic'...
After reading these memories, Mu You understood everything. The genius magician who created pure black magic was obviously Anseni Vivian. At this moment, the Rubik's Cube-like thing in his mind was inherited from A secret crystal of Vivian.
Although it is only such a small piece, it is the hard work of Vivian and eleven other scholars who spent their entire lives researching it, and its value is immeasurable!
It only took Muyou two or three seconds to digest the above complex memories.
After confirming that he had acquired the inheritance of black magic, he immediately pressed his pocket watch and retraced time without having time to think about it.
[Time goes back, you go back to before you made the choice. 】
[Please choose one of the following three inheritances left by witches to obtain. 】
"He's really back!"
Mu You was overjoyed that he could actually 'want them all'. He hurriedly chose the second item, the inheritance of potions.
As a result, the prompt that popped up next gave him a basin of cold water in an instant.
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, don’t be greedy! 】
"What?"
Mu You was dumbfounded. This witch could actually see through his time regression?
This is the first time he has encountered this situation since he got the time pocket watch.
Seeing that five seconds were about to pass, Mu You hurriedly pressed his pocket watch again and chose the potion inheritance again.
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, you can’t bite off more than you can chew! 】
The result is still the same, the rejection text pops up again.
But this time the statement has changed. 'Insatiable' has become 'more than one can chew', and the tone has softened.
This small change sparked a glimmer of hope in Mu You's heart: maybe if you continue to persevere, it's possible for the witch to change her mind?
Thinking about it, he pressed his pocket watch and chose again.
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, don’t be distracted by anything else! 】
"Backtrack!"
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, you can’t bite off more than you can chew! 】
"Backtrack!"
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, and the result of distraction is mediocrity! 】
…
Next, Mu You started to compete with the witch with obsession.
The witch's tone would occasionally change slightly, but the general idea was that she didn't want her successor to be multitasking.
Perhaps she herself has suffered a disadvantage in this regard. In short, she believes that a person's time is limited, and black magic and potions are both subjects that require a lot of time. If you are distracted, you will most likely waste your talent. Achievements in both areas are reduced to mediocrity. Only those who focus on one of the paths can reach the extreme!
Mu You could understand what the witch said, but he also had his own ideas.
He believed that Potions and Dark Arts were not incompatible. Potions is a very useful tool. Whether it is used for making money, fighting or even daily life, those magical potions can bring various conveniences to the study of black magic.
Besides, there is a more important point: Mu You has no shortage of time!
With a time pocket watch, he can theoretically gain infinite time by going back infinitely.
Therefore, only in his case, there is no saying that learning potions has slowed down the progress of black magic.
It's a pity that these thoughts cannot be conveyed to the other party through the game. He can only rely on constant backtracking, hoping that the witch can feel his sincerity...
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, don’t be distracted by anything else! 】
"Backtrack!"
[You have chosen my black magic inheritance, you can’t bite off more than you can chew! 】
"Backtrack!"
…
Mu You went over and over again, looking back on time impatiently. He couldn't even count how many times he had gone back. Anyway, he gradually felt the same nausea he had when he pried open the door of the witch's house that day.
"well……"
Just when Mu You felt a little desperate, suddenly, a slight sigh sounded in his ears.
Mu You instinctively thought that someone had entered his home, and subconsciously looked back.
As a result, there was nothing behind me! Except for Coca-Cola, which was sleeping soundly in a large shape on the bed in the distance, there were no traces of other living things in the whole house.
At this moment, the cold hairs on Mu You's back stood up, and he almost thought he had hit a ghost.
Fortunately, the next changes in the game eliminated his doubts.
[Your persistence impressed the witch, and she decided to give you a chance. 】
[I won't waste my time on a stupid person. Within ten days, prepare a sophisticated or higher level 'Spirit Summoning Potion' and complete the Soul Summoning Ceremony, which proves that you have the talent to learn potions. If you can successfully summon me to that realm, there's no harm in me teaching you potions. 】
