Chapter Three: Learning Magic from Scratch
He casually picked up a stabbing sword that shone with cyan elemental aura. After looking at it for a moment, he unsheathed the sword and drew a sword in the air.
A green translucent wind blade extended from the sword body. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the cave wall in the dragon's nest, leaving a shallow scratch after making a sound of gold and iron clashing.
"Is this a magic item?"
The power of the wind blade attached to this stabbing sword obviously made Su An a little dissatisfied.
"Sir, the space in my dragon's nest has been reinforced by my magic. The wind blade of this sword can leave marks on it, which is already very good."
The somewhat ashamed Xiaobai explained.
"Really? What magical effects does this sword have? Isn't there just one that releases the wind blade?"
There was some disgust on the pale face. The decoration of this bayonet sword was a bit too gorgeous, and the cyan element was blinding. It didn't look like a weapon for killing, but rather like a noble art collection.
In short, flashy.
"Of course it's more than that."
Xiaobai retorted weakly, and then explained.
"This sword is called the Wind Mark Sword, and it has many magical effects such as lightness, sharpness, agility, and wind blades. Although it is not as good as a legendary item, it is still a rare and exquisite item."
"Yeah……"
Bai Bai shook the stabbing sword in his hand slightly, and it seemed that it did feel a little light and nimble. But it didn't seem to be of much use, which made the sword lighter and easier to use.
As for the other special effects he mentioned, for the time being, he has tried adding a wind blade, but the power is average.
Then I searched the treasure pile for a while and found that most of the magic items here were just gorgeous and sparkling in appearance, and their abilities were useless to Bai Wan.
There is no way, maybe this is the aesthetics of the dragon.
"Forget it, let's forget about it for now. Do you have any magic secret books or anything like this that records magic knowledge?"
Putting down the magic items in his hands, Bai Wan turned to ask about magic. Since he had come to another world, of course he also wanted to learn some cool magic. However, there were differences in rules and civilizations in different worlds. Whether he could learn it or not was a question.
"You mean the magic book that records magic?"
Black Dragon didn't understand the meaning of the word secret book and was a little unsure.
"Yeah, that's right. Do you have any?"
"Of course, sir, I have three magic books with legendary spells here. They are all treasures that I have collected over the past thousand years!"
As soon as he mentioned his collection, a certain black dragon couldn't help but feel complacent and show off. He never thought that these treasures would soon leave him.
"Not bad, bring it to me to see."
Bai Bai's words undoubtedly made Heilong's originally complacent expression freeze instantly. Looking at the man's outstretched hand, he wanted to refuse, and wanted to say that his private property was sacred and inviolable.
Can……
"Okay...sir."
After being timid once, there will be countless times. Faced with the man's orders, the black dragon has become more and more afraid to disobey. He can only reluctantly dive into his pile of treasures, scratching with his front paws inside.
Rummaging around.
While Xiaobai was rummaging through the legendary magic book, Baiwan was not idle. Although most of the magic items piled up here were of little use to him, he might still be able to find some interesting gadgets if he looked carefully.
.
A storage ring? It's worthless to him. He can create a different space for storing items by himself.
Magic weapon? It's not as powerful as what he can suppress with his bare hands, so it's dispensable.
Space boots? Can you step into the void and stay in the air for a long time?
This is also...well, this is still somewhat useful. Space spells are what Wanwan is interested in. He really wants to study the craftsmanship of this shoe and learn how to enchant specific space abilities to items.
…
"Found it! Found it! Sir!"
Not long after, the black dragon and the little white dragon came over excitedly with a sheepskin scroll in their mouths.
"Um?"
Bai Wan took the sheepskin scroll and looked at it carefully. The scroll looked simple and shabby, with a sense of age. There was a fiery red elemental aura flashing on it, and it was obvious that it was a legendary fire-based spell.
"Just this volume? Didn't you say there are three legendary spells?"
"I haven't found the other two yet..."
"Then go quickly and continue looking."
While opening the parchment in his hand, the white man seemed to be transformed into a landlord who oppressed the slaves, constantly urging Xiaobai to work.
However, what is somewhat surprising is that, strictly speaking, this parchment scroll is not a record of information. It is an item that carries information, probably similar to a magic version of a USB flash drive.
The moment he opened the scroll, he seemed to feel a burst of violent heat. The few characters on the parchment were separated from the scroll at this moment, turning into a torrent of information and pouring into his pale eyes.
Black Dragon Xiaobai didn't lie to him, this was indeed a legendary spell. The legendary fire spell: Pyroblast!
Judging from the introduction of the spell, it is to detonate the energy in the burning flame at once. In principle, the stronger the burning flame, the greater the power of the explosion. It seems that the upper limit is quite high.
This reminds Wanwan of the bombs in the modern world.
'It turns out that magic is recorded like this... Although it is not scientific, it is indeed very magical.'
The vast amount of information that emerged in his mind made Wanwan instantly understand the principle of this scroll. This is a function similar to spiritual power transmission. Opening the scroll can activate the magic characters on it and transfer the information stored in the scroll into memory.
However, the amount of information you can accept is also linked to your mental strength.
Take the contents of this volume of legendary spells as an example. The element sequences and spell models contained in it would probably fill a room if recorded in ordinary books.
If someone who is not mentally strong enough wants to read such a volume of legendary spells, I am afraid they can only divide the information into many paragraphs and study it again and again.
Although Bai Bai doesn't have any trouble with mental strength, he also faces another shortcoming.
That is, it is difficult to understand the content of the spell. After all, he is not from this world, and has not specifically studied the basics and principles of magic in this world. It is difficult for him to fully understand many professional terms and nouns in the content.
Fortunately, when he was learning the language of another world, he had memorized the characters, symbols, etc., otherwise he might not even be able to understand the introduction to this spell now.
'Is it possible that I still have to find a teacher to learn magic from scratch in this world?'
Thinking of this, Wanwan has a headache. This kind of gap in civilization is also difficult for him to deal with. He can't directly read the world's timeline?
This is similar to an ancient person traveling to modern times. He must have no understanding of modern civilization, technology, etc. Without studying for a few years of compulsory education, it would be so easy to understand the development of modern civilization.
In the same way, the same is true for Wanwan. Without several years of basic education in magic from another world, he knows the magic of a hammer. Of course, with his learning ability, it definitely won't take that long. He can even learn by himself if he is literate and has books.
.
'I wonder if this stupid dragon...can teach me magic?'
After realizing that he was unable to learn magic for the time being, Wanwan set his sights on a certain dragon who was still digging in the treasure pile.
It's just that when he thought about it, he felt it was unrealistic. It wasn't that he thought the other party was stupid and couldn't teach him. The idea was because of species differences. In Western legends, dragons seem to all use dragon language magic?
It is probably equivalent to another magic system similar to that of human beings. Moreover, most of the magic advantages of the dragons seem to come from their own blood and racial talents. Even if they learn dragon language, they may not be able to use it.
'But you should still understand some basic principles, right? If he says he can't, then beat him until he does... Well, that's it!'
Black Dragon Xiaobai, who was happily looking for treasures, had no idea that he was being taken care of by someone again and was in danger of being beaten.
Later, Black Dragon rummaged through the magic books for the remaining two legendary spells. Unlike the parchment scroll of "Pyroblast", the other two legendary spells were serious magic books.
Yes, it looks like a normal hard-cover book. It may be due to the different historical eras. The sheepskin scroll is obviously older and may come from an earlier era.
However, in terms of the function of spiritual transmission of information, it is obvious that the magic book is better. Not only is the mental burden on the reader smaller, but the speed of transmitting information content is also faster.
The most important thing was that Su An discovered that whether it was a parchment scroll or a magic book, they were all worn out after "reading" them, and the aura of the elements became much dimmed.
In terms of this kind of wear and tear, the magic book is also superior. It can obviously be read more times and wears less. Unlike the parchment scroll of "Pyroblast", I am afraid it will be scrapped after two or three more readings.
Closer to home, the other two legendary spells collected by Black Dragon are both of the ice type.
Legendary Ice Spell: Ice Crystal Meteor! Legendary Ice Spell: Ice and Snow!
Very common names for Western magic. I'm afraid there are already countless magics with these two names in the world of fantasy novels. However, as legendary spells, their power is pretty good.
Ice Crystal Meteor: It can be called the ice version of "bolide", summoning a huge ice crystal meteorite to hit the ground. The power of throwing such a large ice cube at high altitude can be imagined.
Ice and Snow: The effect of this spell is very simple, it is just a range of freezing cold air, AOE damage. The outstanding point is that the low temperature and the range of the spell are very large. How big is it specifically? The introduction does not say it, and we don’t know.
…
Okay, that's it for the legendary spells collected by Black Dragon. For Wanwan, just write down these legendary spells. For the time being, they are completely of the type that can be seen but not used.
In the final analysis, having zero basic knowledge of magic is really a disadvantage. Although I am very coveted for the three legendary spells in my mind, I should not aim too high in my practice. It is better to start from the basics and learn step by step.
"What? Sir? You want the lowest entry-level magic book?"
When Heilong heard Wanwan's request, Heilong almost thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong. Isn't this the same as someone leaving a hundred-dollar bill and asking for a fifty-cent one instead?
"Yes, you also know that I am not from your world. I have zero basic knowledge of magic in your world. Even if you give me a legendary spell secret book, I won't be able to practice it. So I have to learn it from scratch."
Wanwan seemed to have no intention of keeping his identity as an outsider secret, and he did not shy away from speaking to Xiaobai.
"this……"
It has to be said that Wanwan's request is really difficult for the dragon. After all, as a proud dragon clan, the treasures here are not just based on appearance. At the very least, they must have a certain value before they will be collected by him.
