Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 272 Mastery and Application

Foundation... runes? !

There was doubt in Lando's eyes.

Eric explained: "The so-called root rune is the rune that represents the most original and essential element of a certain element. It can be regarded as the ultimate expression of a certain element. We have found four of them so far."

"Their birth is very accidental, but it may also be a certain necessity for our Arcane Empire!"

"Many great arcanists have speculated that each element should have a corresponding root rune, but so far apart from these four, fire, water, wind, and earth, we have not been able to find any other root runes. "

"Because this knowledge involves the most original mysteries of the world, it is absolutely forbidden to spread it to the outside world. This is why you need to sign a strict contract before learning it."

After listening to Eric's explanation, Lando had been fully aroused in his interest in the basic runes, and he waited expectantly for Eric to start teaching.

Eric smiled slightly, opened the small box he carried with him, and suddenly four faint elemental waves came out.

There are four strange crystals stored in the small box, and a symbol in each crystal is faintly shining with elemental light.

Eric clicked lightly, and four crystals appeared in midair at once.

"These are the four known root runes. You can take a closer look at how they are different from other runes."

Lando first looked at the four runes in turn, and then set his sights on the first rune representing fire.

It wasn't gorgeous and complicated, and it was completely different from the basic runes he knew, but just looking at it, there was a feeling of perfection, as if it represented the world's 'fire' itself.

Suddenly Lando was stunned for a moment, he closed his eyes, the root of fire rune that was clearly engraved in his mind suddenly became blurred, and soon disappeared, and only then did he notice that the other three I only saw it once, and the basic runes that I didn't have a deep impression on had long since disappeared from my mind.

"This is?!" Lando asked suspiciously.

"The root rune represents the origin of the universe. It is not allowed to be born in the world. Once it appears, it will be erased by the instinctive power of the world. Only empty crystals like this can preserve them." Eric said.

"Then how do I learn them?" Lando asked strangely.

"This is actually very simple. After the third-stage Arcanist completes the third spiritual construction, the degree of solidification of the spiritual space can be compared to a new world, and the root runes inscribed in it will not be discovered by external rules and be erased. And before the third spiritual construction, the arcanist needs a special kind of arcane art if he wants to learn it. It is called the spiritual world. The mental construction Arcanist has the same effect." Erik explained.

Lando nodded, indicating that he had no doubts.

Seeing this, Eric said, "Then let's get started!"

…………

"...The root rune is one of the most original expressions of an element. Having it means that you can mobilize the most essential side of this element, and at the same time, this element in the world will be fully used by you."

"As for their specific use methods, I won't say much, so as not to interfere with your thinking."

During the learning process, Eric's voice kept coming, telling Lando the special features of this basic rune.

The arcane art of the spiritual world was very simple to Lando, and it didn't take long to learn it. Afterwards, the inscription process of inscribing the basic runes also proceeded step by step, without any accidents.

After an unknown period of time, the four elemental runes stabilized in Lando's mental space, which meant that he successfully completed the inscription.

"Don't cancel the mental space arcane before you complete the third spiritual construction, otherwise the foundational runes you engraved will be discovered and erased by the world, and the school will not use the empty crystal for you again." Eric reminded.

Lando looked at the four empty crystals floating in the air, and the foundational runes in them seemed to be much dimmer than before, presumably because of some kind of consumption from his study.

He nodded solemnly, expressing that he would definitely pay attention, and then Lando couldn't wait to experiment with the role of the basic rune.

Opening his palm, the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth suddenly condensed into a ball, twirling and spinning above the palm, Lando's eyes flashed surprise, because this was just the result of his thoughts, and he didn't use any of himself at all. As Eric said at the beginning, after mastering the basic rune, this element between heaven and earth will be completely used by him.

Close your eyes, and connect your spirit to the four fundamental runes in the spiritual space. In an instant, your spirit and thinking will break free from the limitations of your body, and enter a vast world composed entirely of elements.

In this world, Lando can clearly feel that the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth are closely connected with him. He can easily mobilize their power to display infinite power, while other elements are extremely alienated from him. , although they can be affected, but the process is extremely obscure.

At this moment, Lando had a strong feeling that if he could master all the basic runes of all the elements in the world, then it might be feasible to change the world and reshape the universe like the saint in the fairy tales of the previous life!

Opening his eyes, the four balls of elemental light in his hands are still constantly attracting the power of the elements between the heaven and the earth. In a short period of time, he has gathered extremely terrifying energy, and the speed of gathering is still growing faster and faster. A little energy naturally has no effect on Eric, so he just watched with a smile and didn't disturb Lando.

The palm trembled slightly, and the four elemental light balls that had condensed terrifying energy immediately dissipated like deflated leather balls.

Lando couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Eric, did the Arcane Empire really only discover the basic runes of the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth? Are there no other basic runes of the elements?! "

Eric shook his head amusedly, and he was not surprised by Lando's question, because it was a question that almost every arcanist who had learned the foundation rune would ask repeatedly out of unwillingness, including him back then.

"Currently, the Arcane Empire only has the basic runes of the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth. Didn't I say this before? It is said that they were discovered because of an extremely accidental accident involving World Laboratory No. [-], if you are interested, you can find out by yourself when you become a Grand Arcanist." Eric responded casually.

ACCIDENT? !World Lab Three? !

Although he is very interested in the accident that Eric said, the other party obviously does not intend to explain it to him. It seems that if you want to know more about this, you can only go through other channels, or wait until you become a great arcanist in the future.

As for whether Lando could become a great arcanist, he never doubted himself!
Thinking of this, Lando saluted Eric respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Eric!"

Eric yawned and waved his hands and said, "You don't need to thank me, this is an opportunity you won through your own hard work."

Even though Eric said so, Lando was still very grateful to him. After all, the former taught him very carefully during this period of time, without any perfunctory meaning.

The two walked out of the secret room, and Fraser was still sitting on the seat drinking tea, seemingly not moving at all.

Eric shook his drowsy head, drank the cup of tea on the table and asked, "How long has it been?"

Fraser smiled and refilled a glass for Eric and said, "Three days, soon. How do you feel?"

The latter sentence was for Lando.

Lando responded: "A lot of benefits!"

Fraser nodded in satisfaction and said, "Seeing that you can't wait to go back and reorganize this harvest, go!"

Lando said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Principal, Mr. Eric, then I will take my leave first."

Fraser nodded with a smile, and Eric waved at him casually.

After leaving the principal's office, Lando immediately returned to his dormitory, then closed the door tightly and entered the mind world.

Lando wanted to refine the thoughts in his mind to determine the importance of the root rune.

One day later, the center of the mind world.

Lando looked at the orange-red fireball the size of a baby's fist was burning in his hand, lost in thought.

To be honest, the power of the foundational rune was indeed a bit beyond Lando's expectations. At that time, Otto's mentor told him that the great arcanists of the evoking school accounted for about 40% of the total strength of the empire. This data is indeed well-founded.

Throwing the ball of fire casually, this exploding fireball arcane technique, which is very common in Lando's eyes now, displayed an astonishing power, directly blowing up a mountain in the distance, and the subsequent burning and high temperature made it even more terrifying. The air in the vicinity was distorted and deformed, lingering for a long time.

With a wave of his hand, the flames in the distance disappeared, and by the way, even the top of the mountain was restored to its original state. The power of this Explosive Fireball Arcane Art has at least doubled compared to the original. As for the relationship between arcane arts, if a little in-depth research is done, its power can be increased by one or two times on the current basis. I believe it will be easy and normal!
How about I switch to Evocation school too? !
This idea flashed in Lando's mind, and he skipped it with a dumb smile.

Leaving aside whether all his current research and his own talent are suitable for the Evocation School, just talking about everything he has gained now does not mean that he can leave the Conjuration School at will.

Instructor Odo, Mr. Simon, Principal Fraser, and those high-level conjurers who spent resources and costs to train him, from the very beginning of the Silver Tower School to the current Castro College, Lando has unconsciously He was deeply imprinted by the school of conjuration, even if he really left the school of conjuration and wanted to join the school of evocation, it would be impossible for him to be accepted there.

Moreover, the knowledge of the foundational rune is not as great for other conjuration schools as the improvement of the evocation school, but it may not be for him!

Raising his head slightly, he stared at the entire heart world. At this time, Lando's perspective had gone beyond the heart world. The entire heart world floating in the Book of Dimensions was like a toy in his palm, and he could play with it at will.

In the depths of the heart world, many runes, including the basic runes of the four elements, are in the core of the dimension. Their existence not only brings a lot of different powers to the heart world dimension, but also accelerates the heart world dimension to a certain extent. growth.

Lando doesn't know if there is anyone else in the Arcane Empire who can completely control a dimension like him, but as the pioneer of the inner dimension and the master of complete authority, what he can do may far surpass everyone's imagine!
In the core of the dimension, under the control of Lando's thoughts, one after another runes began to shatter and annihilate. Among them were the death runes that were first integrated into the mind space in the world of Astrea. These runes The deepest combination with the heart world, their disintegration even makes the entire heart world dimension start to vibrate continuously, and countless cracks spread all over the whole world.

Lando's expression remained unchanged. With the current size of the heart dimension, these pains are within the tolerable range, even if the loss of the heart dimension is not small due to their shattering and disintegration, it doesn't matter.

With the passage of time, what disintegrated was the many versions of runes that Lando found through various channels after he left the world of Astrea. At that time, it seemed that I still wanted to create a [Sword of the Heart Realm]. Now that I think about it at that time, it is a bit naive and ridiculous!
Finally, there are the four-element basic runes learned at Gastro College and other better versions of runes found in Xiaokong in the library.

Looking carefully at this time, it seems that on every four-element basic rune, the shadow of the root rune can be found. Perhaps they themselves are extended from the root rune, or they were born because of their existence. In short, the basic runes of the four elements are indeed quite excellent knowledge, but how many arcanists can really see the key to them?
Even Lando, after being reminded by his mentor Odo, had corresponding guesses, and only paid more attention to them.

Seeing the already 'clean' dimension of the heart world and the talent of [Heart (Orange)], Lando suddenly felt light all over. Although the existence of those runes did bring a lot of convenience to the heart world, it also really accelerated The growth of the heart dimension, but their existence itself also brings an imperceptible burden to the heart dimension and [Heart (Orange)] talent.

Because these runes were inscribed before the birth of the mind dimension, when it was still the mind dimension, Lando didn't realize this until after they were cleared.

However, knowing this will not affect Lando's next actions. He intends to engrave the foundational rune into the core of the heart dimension, even if it will cause him a little burden, it doesn't matter.

Lando's figure appeared in the core of the heart dimension, and the energy generated by the broken runes was still reverberating in it.

Open your palm, and four illusory and fragile runes suddenly appear, because this place can also isolate the power of the outside world, so these four basic runes will not be noticed by the rules of the outside world, and can safely exist in the dimension of the heart in the core space.

With their appearance, the core of the dimension of the mind, and even the entire dimension of the mind, undergoes tremendous changes!
