Chapter 13 The Law of the Stars
"Why do we say that the magic we learn is the version after being severely castrated?"
On the way, Liliana seemed a little unconvinced and asked.
"Because according to what you said before, the foundation of today's magic is based on the laws of the stars, right? Then as long as this is the case, you learners are destined to not be exposed to true and complete magic."
"Why? As someone who claims to have been asleep for more than a thousand years, can you still understand how the laws of the stars work?"
"I can."
William looked at Liliana and replied.
"Because the prototype of the law of the stars, the astral circuit, was the idea proposed by me and a few friends of the Master's Union back then."
he answered lightly.
The other party's understated answer caused an uproar in Liliana's heart.
This is impossible.
This was an idea that popped into her head.
"The formulation of the laws of the stars is a huge project completed by Ye Zhi, the great sage of the court of Terra I, which took nearly 50 years to complete eight hundred years ago. It's more than two hundred years behind when you were active. "
Liliana said in disbelief.
"The basic theory was put forward in my time, but there were no conditions for this project to be realized on the Vic Continent at that time."
William replied.
"The original idea of the astral circuit was to build multiple star lighthouses across the continent by imitating the distribution and arrangement of constellations, and guide the magic of the astral into a magic net covering the entire Vic continent. Everyone can resonate with them through their own numerology constellations, so that ordinary people who have no affinity for magic can also feel the magic.”
William looked at Liliana expressionlessly, and the latter was a little flustered.
"Understood, it is to let ordinary people without magic affinity can feel magic, not to let those of you who have magic affinity follow only those spells stipulated by numerology constellations, and let those who don't do this follow suit. called heresy."
William still remembers that in the last chapter of the Mage Guild questline "Magic Dawn", he chose to disclose all the information about the technology of the Astral Circuit. I hope that future generations can complete this great project completely, so that magic is no longer the privilege of a few lucky people, and completely break the monopoly of magic on the mainland.
As a result, this is how they fulfilled his expectations for the past thousand years?
"Even so... the law of the stars has greatly lowered the threshold for learning magic. The magic path from the astral world to the personal ether is established directly through the numerology constellation, replacing the long and tedious meditation process in classical magic practice, so that all mages can More time to study the nature of magic..."
Liliana was reciting the contents of "Introduction to Modern Magic", but her tone didn't sound so confident.
"What you call the study of the nature of magic..."
William raised his hand with a sneer, and an illusory raven was outlined on his palm.
"It's just dividing magic into nine stages, and then learning to start is just mastering spells in the legendary domain?"
The raven in his hand quickly changed from empty to real, then jumped out of William's hand with a "quack" scream, flew around Liliana's head twice, and finally stopped firmly on her shoulder.
"This, this, this...Is this an illusion?"
Feeling the real weight falling on her shoulders, Liliana stammered and asked.
William nodded.
"But it's obviously real."
Liliana stretched out her hand and stroked the shiny raven feathers on her shoulders as she spoke. The touch was exactly the same as the raven feathers she used in the alchemy class, and it was true.
"God-level illusion [Shadow of Reality]."
William snapped her fingers as she spoke, and the raven parked on her shoulder instantly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
"This raven is just the simplest demonstration. With my ability, I can even visualize a real dragon fighting for five minutes... So now you can understand why illusion is the most extensive and profound spell type?"
William continued to Liliana, who was stunned.
"Illusions learn the realm of the realm of the gods, which is to use illusions to cover reality. From this perspective, it can even be considered that all spells in the world are variants of illusions. After all, the essence of magic is to replace reality with the illusion of the caster. So. What are you studying now, trapped in the ninth-order thirteen-series spells defined by the law of the stars to explore the essence of magic?"
To this, Liliana replied in a low voice.
"We have learned the construction of the spell model, and the control of the rhythm of the magic singing..."
"Understood? The magic you are learning now is simply a tree without roots, water without a source. You have put all your energy on how to better please that system. You have never thought about the essence of magic at all. what, and…”
William closed his eyes.
"And even your lifeline is in the hands of the operator of this system. He only needs to adjust this system one day, and he can make all your magic misfire. Through this method, you can completely The uncontrollable power of magic is firmly in his own hands."
His words reminded Liliana of the rumor: heresy mages who have turned their back on the laws of the stars will not be able to obtain magic from the astral world.
William opened his eyes and looked at her and asked.
"I ask you, can people without magic affinity use magic?"
"Of course that's impossible..."
"Then there is no need for this system to exist."
William said lightly.
"One day, I will destroy it myself."
…
When they were about to reach the City of Thorns, William dispersed the two zombie horses that had brought them along the way.
The zombie horse whose soul was almost burned out turned to ashes the moment it was dispersed. William carefully collected the ashes and buried them in the ground.
"After the corpse pulled up by the undead spell is finished, the corpse must be burned to return it to the cycle of the world, so as to maintain the balance between life and death."
Probably sensed Liliana's puzzled gaze, William explained.
"Otherwise, the undead that cannot be degraded naturally will become a runaway rot, which belongs to the domain of the rotten lady Camilla, which will potentially strengthen his power"
Liliana nodded with a vague understanding. During this time, she had become accustomed to this person expressing theories she had never heard of with a face of course.
The two walked along the gravel-paved avenue, and William was silent along the way, as if thinking about something. And Liliana silently prayed to the Seven Holy Spirits in her heart, praying that this person would never do anything as exaggerated as his previous words in the City of Thorns.
It was not until the gate of Thorns City was visible in the distance that William finally broke the silence.
"We have arrived."
