Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 587 -

Chapter 587: Circulation and Sharing Are the Embodiment of Knowledge's Value

After gaining some understanding, I finally roughly understood the category of sealing spells known as the Self-Sealing Spell.

Simply put, this unpopular spell category was not initially classified according to the sealing target.

It wasn't until that Soul Truth Witch completed the puzzle piece of the Self-Sealing Spell that this field of sealing spells had a most complete categorical division, which is the "Self-Sealing Spell Category".

I heard from Big Sis Natalie that rumor has it this Truth Witch found [Transcendent Knowledge] related to the "Self-Sealing Spell" and subsequently gradually perfected it.

But regardless of the speculations, one category within the Self-Sealing Spell is indeed very popular, and that is the "Self-Awareness Sealing Spell".

Which is exactly the type of spell I need very much.

When chatting with Big Sis Natalie about information in this regard, I had also confirmed it within the library information organized by the Great Tree of Knowledge.

Just as Natalie said, there are very few records regarding this aspect inside the library.

Although it isn't completely without records, it can only be said that the length is not much.

It can only be used for reference.

"By the way, asking out of curiosity, what do you want this kind of sealing spell for? I have tested this kind of sealing spell; it can seal distracting thoughts in the brain, and even discordant voices, but this type of spell is mostly used for incurable schizophrenia and the like, hmm... this method is generally quite extreme. Little Han, do you look like you need this very much?"

"Oh, I actually want to see if this kind of thing can be applied to the Great Tree of Knowledge. I want to carry out the construction of something like a Cognitive Firewall. This idea has persisted for a long time without a very good lead. Natalie should also know that some information, or rather knowledge, carries cognitive hazards, or is even transmissible pollution, right?"

"Cognitive Firewall... Oh!"

Hearing my explanation, Natalie immediately reacted, and likewise understood the importance of this matter, "So it is such an important matter! You should have told me earlier. It makes a big difference compared to me telling you verbally like this. I thought you were just purely curious... I will go look for the notes I recorded when I was studying sealing spells back then."

"I remember there should be records of a portion of information related to the Self-Sealing Spell back then. After all, this kind of thing can also be applied to the sealing of self-owned items, abilities, techniques, etc. It is really too abstract."

"Huh?"

Hearing Big Sis Natalie say this, I also felt it was very abstract.

Self-Sealing Spell... isn't this practically a conceptual god?

Conceptually a sealing spell of the self, then if I consider the entire world to be a part of me, wouldn't I be able to seal the entire world?

However... I feel this should be unlikely.

After all, achieving this point is really too difficult, and even if one wanted to do such a thing, there should be more direct ways.

Why go in such circles?

"Very abstract, right? I'll go dig through my stash. After all, that period of studying sealing spells was quite some time ago. I'll try my best to find it for you, it'll be ready in a while."

"Un."

I also nodded and didn't say anything about it being too much trouble, but quietly waited.

During this period, I also incidentally went to see those three students Natalie brought along.

After all, I also have mastered some simple alchemy methods, just in time to learn a bit.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

From the moment Stacy could swallow her pride and request me to let her enter my laboratory, I understood that if one truly wants to learn, status cannot become an obstacle.

Not to mention that I am separated from Stacy by a Transcendent level, while between me and the three of them, there is only a gap in status.

After chatting with them for a bit, I also presented them with three Seeds of Great Knowledge as a thank you.

Currently, because of its terrifying effects, the Great Tree of Knowledge only circulates among the group of Transcendent Mentors.

At present, it hasn't spread on a large scale in the student community yet; only some students with connections have obtained it, such as those few from Wan Shi Wu, and a few I gave out myself.

I estimate that I will have to wait for the completion of the Seed of Great Knowledge Information Grading work, and after my seed condensation technique breaks through again, before carrying out small-scale testing, and finally promoting it to the whole school.

I haven't even given this Seed of Great Knowledge to those few in my former dormitory.

At that time, I remember thinking that I would give it after the Seed of Great Knowledge completed its updates and iterations, that is, after completing the Information Grading.

However... thinking about it now, there is actually no need.

Life has its own opportunities everywhere.

I estimate that I won't have many chances to have contact with them in the future, but I also promised that I wouldn't forget them.

At least... I value this promise very much.

In any case, this dormitory was something I pulled together with great effort back then.

From Dongli Yiren who was taken over from that senior, to the tamed Guan Qiuling, then to the "pure love" Hong Chenyi, and finally the Ascetic Yu Yetian who believes in the Holy Light.

Every single one of them is an interesting fellow.

At this moment.

After teaching the three of them a bit on how to use the Seed of Great Knowledge, I left them first.

After all, they still had the homework assigned by Natalie, so it wasn't quite appropriate for me to continue disturbing them.

During the waiting period, I was also attempting to understand materials related to the Self-Awareness Sealing Spell from the academy library.

Although the content wasn't much, it was helpful in letting me understand just what kind of spell this Self-Awareness Sealing Spell is.

And the more I understood, the more I discovered that this kind of spell seems indeed very suitable to be incorporated into the Cognitive Firewall system of the Great Tree of Knowledge!

Moreover, I discovered that not only the Self-Awareness Sealing Spell, but some other sealing spells are also very interesting!

For example, there is a very typical case within the Self-Sealing Spell, which is how to define an external object as belonging to the "self" category.

However, the book did not record how the experimental witch achieved it, but she "classified" a Transcendent item into the domain owned by the self, and subsequently used the Self-Item Sealing Spell to seal the "side effects" of that Transcendent item, making it a Transcendent item that could achieve effects without paying a price!

Then I turned the page only to discover that this case was fake...

She couldn't achieve classifying an external object into the self category, but she sealed the side effects the Transcendent item exerted on her body, which was equivalent to sealing the side effects in a disguised way.

Alright... indeed a very brilliant shift in thinking.

Sure enough, there are no real difficult problems in this world, only solutions one hasn't thought of oneself.

I really admire this witch who would use any means to achieve her goal.

She was not confused by the essence of the problem, but pointed directly at the root of the distress the problem brought her, solving the problem by combining the two dimensions of her own needs and the abilities she mastered.

Subsequently.

I waited for close to over an hour again.

It looks like Big Sis Natalie really has a lot of collected books.

This made me think of a rumor I heard somewhere before.

Most of the Witch Academy's libraries are open to students; even the so-called graded sections are not for Transcendent Mentors to read.

Every Transcendent Mentor has their own mobile library, collecting mysterious knowledge that students cannot touch.

I'm afraid Natalie should be in this kind of situation.

I can sense that Natalie is no longer in the alchemy lab at this moment; she has probably entered another space.

Witches have very long lifespans.

In their lifetime, they will experience many things, learn a lot of knowledge, and witness many events.

So travel observations, learning handbooks, rare or out-of-print publications, or even the self-narratives of a civilization after a world's destruction, etc.

These might all become their collections.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized the necessity of maintaining good relationships with those Transcendent Witches, because every one of them is a treasure trove of knowledge waiting to be developed!

If I could enter their book collection areas to take a look with my own eyes, I really don't know what kind of scene that would be.

Just as I was pondering, Natalie also came up dragging a large box.

"Little Han, this is roughly it."

With a clang, Natalie placed the large box on the ground, then cast a spell to undo the sealing spell on it and opened the lid.

"Inside these are the notes I left behind when I taught myself sealing spells back then."

Natalie couldn't help but pat the dust on top, then used a Cleaning Spell to clear away all the dust.

"There's a bit much. At the time, for convenience, each notebook was simply recorded according to category. Now I'm about to forget what was recorded in which book. How about we look for it together?"

"Sure."

I also nodded and agreed to Natalie's proposal.

Actually, with so many books, I could directly use the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to complete the collection of all book information.

However, this is Natalie's painstaking effort after all.

Such "hasty" behavior would also represent disrespect for Natalie's hard work.

Of course, there is also the point that the feeling of holding actual notebooks and books in hand is really quite different.

Moreover, I am not in a hurry right now.

Slowing down the pace of life might not be a bad thing.

So Natalie and I, two little witches, spent quite a lot of time sorting out the contents from this large box.

"Sigh in the blink of an eye, so much time has passed."

Natalie picked up a notebook, patted off the non-existent dust, and then lamented.

In order to preserve paper items like these ordinary notebooks and books for a longer time, every single one here has spell runes maintaining them, ensuring the quality of the paper so they won't oxidize, weather, or be eaten by worms over time.

"By the way, Big Sis Natalie, have you thought about backing up these notes and books you've saved to the Tree of Knowledge?"

"Backup? That's so troublesome. I might have even more books than you anticipate. Most are notebooks or research materials I recorded myself, and... never mind, mainly it's just too troublesome."

Natalie originally wanted to say that the feeling of holding paper books and notebooks in hand is far from what these simple databases can compare to.

However, thinking that Little Han was just suggesting a backup, she didn't say too much.

But internally, she was also thinking of giving it a try; maybe she could backup those books and notes that were about to become impossible to keep or even on the verge of damage.

Even if she didn't need them anymore, she would still feel heartache just letting them rot away like that.

"Too troublesome? Big Sis Natalie can directly use the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell. The books being appraised can have their content information obtained from the Earth Vein, and the obtained information can be directly organized using the Shadow of Knowledge. It saves a lot of time."

"Can the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell be used like this? Wait... you have this ability... then why did we waste so much time organizing these broken books!"

Natalie was first stunned by the suggestion I proposed.

After all, she indeed hadn't thought of obtaining book content directly through the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell.

But thinking that Little Han clearly had this ability yet accompanied her to waste so much time organizing these books she had long since discarded.

Simply making trouble out of nothing!

Little Han doesn't look like someone so, so idle either.

Not to mention that these books only have collection and commemorative significance to her now.

She also doesn't mind including them in the Great Tree of Knowledge to share with Little Han.

Knowledge can only realize the value of its existence when it is shared; she never minds sharing her knowledge.

"Uh... maybe, I respect Natalie's labor results and the value of the knowledge in these books?"

"Knowledge can only be considered value when it is circulated and shared!"

Natalie educated me and said, "But it's good that you didn't use the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to obtain this knowledge rashly. After all, not every witch is as selfless as me. Many witches view that knowledge as their own wealth. If you rashly go and obtain that knowledge, it is equivalent to stealing her wealth, and you will be liquidated. You have to be a bit careful with other witches."

"Un, I understand. Actually, I was also acting out of this consideration just now. At least if I don't do it, I won't be wrong."

I also hurriedly echoed.

"Since that's the case... then there's no need to waste so much effort. You just collect it directly."

Obtaining Big Sis Natalie's permission, I also hurriedly carried out the collection processing of the content of these books, while Natalie tirelessly narrated the stories related to these notes from the side.

"I still have some impression of this one. Because I was testing a sealing spell, I directly took this notebook to try it. As a result, I didn't remember the unsealing key well, and eventually broke it open with brute force. There are still some marks from the repair spell on it."

"This one... wow the things recorded in this book's content made me go completely astray on the path of sealing spells. A very evil sealing spell, a crooked path of reverse usage. At that time, I read it with great gusto."

But not long after, I had already finished collecting all these books.

"Hm? Is your speed that fast?"

"Indeed quite fast. After all, for many things, what's needed is efficiency."

"True, efficiency... is indeed better the faster it is. Since I've given you what you wanted, presumably there won't be that much trouble anymore. I hope these studies of mine can play a role in you perfecting the Great Tree of Knowledge. I have to say, your Great Tree of Knowledge's ability... is really amazing!"

Natalie couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

After all, the information obtained by the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell is sometimes an excellent tool for data recording and observation.

The main thing is that it is convenient!

Moreover, it doesn't carry subjective influence, and adds an observation dimension during observation, which can be used for more data comparison.

The most main point is that the Great Tree of Knowledge's Earth Vein Appraisal Spell bypasses the process of "dominating Earth Vein energy" and directly observes to obtain information.

The impact caused to the Earth Vein from the outside is extremely low, so the obtained data is naturally more precise.

Natalie believes that not only herself, but any witch who has experienced the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell has surely personally experimented and compared.

This kind of cross-era technique is simply a sharp weapon born for Transcendent experiments!

Wait until this Seed of Great Knowledge is popularized throughout the entire Alchemy District; I estimate that this area of buildings in the Alchemy District might need a major overhaul.

Perhaps new Earth Vein stabilization related techniques will need to shroud the entire Alchemy District.

After all, the more stable the Earth Vein in this area is, the higher the precision of the information obtained by the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, and the lower the interference rate.

No one would question just how important a significance this kind of ability has for the technique of alchemy.

"Let's go, there's still quite a bit of time left. Today, coordinate with me to finish testing the basic characteristics of your Power of Knowledge first, so I can carry out the first stage of the Book in the Casket modification in the time following."

"Un, okay."
