In the exchange between the two colleges, Wang Qi finally got to the topic he was looking forward to: the college library.
There are some differences from the previous agreement. The academy's large library does not have a collection of magic learning books that exceed the fifth ring. The sixth and seventh ring books on enchantment requested by Wang Qi are said to have to be discussed internally.
He is not in a hurry. Reading other books counts as knowledge gain.
As for whether he will be put in a group, I can't care about it for the time being. If he can't even pass the Fountain of Youth Magic Academy, other academies are even less likely.
For example, the second ring of the Fountain of Youth has a circular city wall. Directly opposite the Fountain of Youth Academy, there is also a magic academy, the Academy of Life. Just by looking at the name, it is easy to think that it is an educational institution mainly open to those within the church.
Anyway, let’s see what comes first.
Wang Qi and Li Xiang specially brought Natasha with them so they could see more.
During the exchange, none of the Eight King Kongs entered the academy building. At most, they only stood in front of the building door. This time, considering that Natasha had also learned some magic, she was asked to follow them in casual clothes.
The three people divided the tasks. Li Xiang was in charge of the history of magic, Wang Qi was in charge of endorsement, and Natasha was in charge of whatever she wanted.
It seems that the tasks of Li Xiang and Wang Qi are a bit reversed. This is a decision made out of special considerations.
Since Li Xiang met Wang Qi, he has almost never stopped studying in the past thirty years. Going out to fight and walk bears are only occasional adjustments. In this state, you have to recite a lot of books suddenly. Even if you have super high basic attribute support, it is easy to get confused.
Wang Qi is different. He reads a lot of things, but rarely touches magic books. The content in this direction is easier to distinguish clearly.
With the help of the student representatives sent by the college, Wang Qi quickly went through the first, second and third ring magic notebook collections, focusing on books above the third ring.
For this type of enchantment, the kingdom has its own knowledge system. The previous classics can provide very little help. In the future, newly researched magic will be the main focus.
Among the major categories other than enchantment, the Conjuration system, as the largest faction, has a large proportion of mages. Evocations are also steadily spread due to military needs. There is no need to collect information separately. Wang Qi is personally more interested in creation, summoning, and transformation. Three departments.
Creation and summoning often appear together, and are two closely related factions, similar to the case of conjuration and evocation.
Generally speaking, when creation and summoning appear together as magical prefixes, it means that the summoned object "used to exist" but the caster only found the remains.
As a magic faction, the creation department ranks only behind the prophecy department in learning difficulty. Naturally, it not only has compound magic with the summoning department, but also involves golems, synthetic creatures, subspace equipment production, spiritual space shaping, etc.
It can even be said that the modern alchemist system is a branch derived from the creation system. However, because it is too difficult, existing alchemists rely more on conjuration in magic, and their relationship with the creation system is far away.
Interest in the summoning system mainly focuses on the summoning process itself.
Most summoning magic requires a designated target. Even if you summon a fire element lord, you have to know its name. There is also a contract process with exchange of benefits.
Wang Qi is concerned about what form of power and channels project the summoned objects into the material world.
Probably because summons below the third level are not enough for mixed-race farmers, there are very few mages who use summoning spells in the exile, and the literature is extremely expensive.
After reading the book about Fountain of Youth Academy, I found that the main world is not much better.
The demons are again to be blamed.
The Three Realms War will last for a long time. Sometimes the demons will get mad and specifically target the summoned objects to attack the nests of those species. This happens even if it happens once every ten or twenty years. A round of the Three Realms War will come several times, and the war will happen again and again. Coming down, there are fewer and fewer branches of the route left.
For example, among the three summoning lines recommended in the Fountain of Youth Academy's collection, the three rings are all of the same species, the Wind Muntjac and the Fire Bumblebee.
There are others that can be used as third-ring summons, but they are too hard to find. Even if this kind of thing is popularized, the magic that has been learned will suddenly become invalid at any time due to species extinction.
Speaking of which, the reason why Wang Qi decided to bring Bai Xiaojiao to the main world stems from a branch of the summoning system that emerged in response to the extinction of species, the breeding summons.
This type of summoned object will not be sent back to its original ecological circle. The relationship between people and summoned objects is more similar to that of owner and pet, but how much stronger can they become if they are both pets?
Just like Bai Xiaojiao, is it willing to be a pet? It can't defeat Li Xiang, and it also provides food and accommodation, so it has no choice but to admit it.
In short, the overall state of the summoning system is very poor. It will be better to be able to summon elemental creatures after reaching the fifth level.
However, elemental creatures have another pitfall, will.
Elemental creatures have names, and their names actually come from place names. For example, there is an active volcano called "Tyudive". If there are enough residents nearby, one or more people named "Tyudive" will be produced. If there are more fire elements, a fire element lord with the same name will appear.
The book collection is very detailed about the relationship between the surrounding residents and the fire element. It puts forward two theories, one is that human spirits have seized the power of the elements and become elemental creatures, and the other is a memetic concept, "People believe in volcanoes." There is an element of fire in it” and so it exists.
In this world of magic and "gods", it is difficult to judge which one is more correct before being able to communicate face to face.
The elemental "will" problem that the summoning system faces comes from these names.
"Thyudivers" will remember the summoner. If the fire element summoned by a summoner dies in battle... and is unable to be aggregated and formed, then he will no longer be able to use this name to summon the fire element in the future and will have to find another one. .
It’s so easy to find the problem. There are only a few fire elements in an area. Let’s not mention how many peers will be attracted by the “appearance of a new element”. Even if one name can sign a hundred summoners, the elemental creatures You have to be busy.
Maybe using elemental summons in the penal colony will change things?
The steam clouds several kilometers thick below the floating island in the penal colony can prove that the bottom is basically a volcano, and everyone lives not far away from each other in a straight line. Can elemental creatures also be produced?
If there are millions of them, it’s not a bad idea to give the summoning system a try. At worst, the first four levels will only be purely theoretical, and don’t make any shabby summons.
…Wait, that doesn’t seem right.
Wang Qi suddenly realized that before becoming a floating island, Phoenix City was only about ten kilometers away from the lava flow area, and he had not heard of rumors of fire elements for more than ten years after settling there.
Maybe it's because he won't be informed of the rumors, or maybe it takes tens or even hundreds of years to form one.
No matter what the situation is, there are still too many uncontrollable factors.
The creation system is more reliable, and the creation summons that combines the two is probably derived from these unreliable situations.
Finally, there is the Change Department, a relatively niche faction.
Typical spells of the change system, such as transfiguration, are similar to the plasticity system, and there are also a series of spells that change living and non-living things, such as enlarging and shrinking.
However, since alchemy comes from the creation system, it is enough to prove that the transformation system still has some shortcomings.
The basic particles of this universe are very stable. The evidence is that the process flow of many metallurgical and chemical industries has very little difference.
This situation means that even if some magic can really change the size and quality, it will not last too long. It cannot be cast for a lifetime like enchantment.
But the potential is still huge. For example, if the reduction technique can be maintained for half an hour, even if the mass reduction ratio is smaller, bombers and transport vehicles can carry more ammunition, and there will be huge changes in combat and logistics.
The premise is that it can be used at scale.
Wang Qi didn't know if it was feasible, so he just endorsed it.
Simply memorizing it is definitely not as good as writing it down, but in order to avoid disputes, I went back to the mansion to write it down at night, recorded it with a magic image crystal, and then destroyed the paper.
...This person is doing the job of a spy.
