Chapter 16: Magic and Poison

   After learning about the history of magic, it was too early to look at the time, so he continued to look at the principles of magic. In the beginning, Netheril's arcanists didn't need to prepare spells in advance, most of them did not need to use magic nets to perform magic only by relying on spells and gestures. They are different from modern wizards, but once they fail to learn this spell, they will not be able to learn this spell for a lifetime. Casting magic needs to consume something called arcs (Arcs), at that time the amount of magic they mastered was very small. The number of casts is not as much as that of modern wizards. However, since the goddess of magic in the era of Netheril had not closed the direct connection between the mage and the source of magic, their super magic was stronger than it is now.

   Later, the mage solved this secret called "arc" through research, which is the speed and concentration of the brain's calculations. The magic net is prevalent in modern times. The wizards calculate the entire magical trajectory in the brain, then use gestures and singing to lead them into the magic net, and finally release it through concentration. Most of the magic is complicated and precise. In order to protect the brain from being burned after each calculation, the magic net will remove the structure of the spell from the memory every time the magic is cast. This is why it is necessary to prepare a new spell after casting the spell. Therefore, the smarter people have more spells. From this point of view, the magic net protects the brains of the wizards so that they are not only overloaded to death. Magic has become easier to learn and safer since the era of the magic net. Of course, this is only relative.

   Seeing here, Henry understood that the wizard is equivalent to a sophisticated humanoid computer in the process of casting spells. Gestures are equivalent to data transmission, and chanting is equivalent to a special password. Only when there is no error in the computer calculation result, the password is entered after the data is safely transmitted. In the end, the magic of concentration will be finally displayed. Through in-depth study and memory, the wizards found that all magic structures have similarities or similarities. After sorting them out, they remove the duplication from the brain, thus gaining the ability to record more spells at a time. This is the reason for the upgrade of the mage level.

   In Henry's view, it is just a humanoid computer that optimizes the storage unit. The original hard disk has new vacancy and can store more files and nothing more. After understanding what magic is, fatigue inevitably began to affect him. It's time to sleep Henry thought of putting down the book in his hand. After lying down for a while, the snoring sounded. He is too tired today.

   Henry kept going back and forth between the library and the bedroom for the next ten days. He reads and memorizes a large number of books at the rate of 30 books per day. Fortunately, most of the books do not have many words. In addition to purchasing hundreds of blank scrolls and two bottles of ink from Taring, he copied the spells into scrolls before going to bed. As he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and couldn't help himself, Taring Freeman informed him that tomorrow was July 1. At 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the master of the mage tower in the hall on the first floor, Tylan Tier, will answer his questions.

   Henry woke up after hearing the news. It turned out that he still had ten free questions to ask this month. After thinking for an hour, I took a piece of parchment paper and wrote down the question with a pen, and prepared for the tutor to answer him tomorrow afternoon.

   At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Henry brought paper and pen to the lobby on the first floor on time. As soon as I got down, I saw a young man who was waiting for the great mage with pen and paper just like him. Seeing Henry's youth smile at him, he leaned slightly and said in a hasty tone: "Hello, I'm Merlican, a student of Tyrante's tutor. You must be his new student Henry."

  Henry immediately replied, "Hello, Master Merlican. This is Henry. I am glad to meet you."

   After greeted each other, Merikan stared at his notes in a daze. Henry began to look at the "strong man" carefully. His brown eyes were full of passion, and his messy hair was beginning to curl up. A magic robe was covered with burnt holes and various oil stains. This is a pretty easy to get along with and a bit rough. Of course, after eliminating the disaster caused by his reckless character and experiments. Henry's first impression of Merlican was pretty good.

   A few minutes later, the Archmage Tylan Tyr came to the hall. He sat down in front of the two students and said, "Now start to ask questions, first of all you, Merlican."

   "Teacher, I exploded again when I made the flame protection ring recently. I carefully checked the engraved magic pattern and found that there is no problem."

"Damn! Merikan, I warned you many times, don’t do anything beyond your ability. What do you think you can make with your poor spellcasting ability. What you should do now is to learn, you see Henry has never done a magic experiment since he entered the magic tower. He stays in the library every day to learn knowledge." The archmage stood up angrily and shouted at Melikaan.

   Mei Likan blushed and said loudly to the instructor: "I will definitely succeed! The future of magic lies in adventure and creation, you conservative old stubborn." After that, he turned and ran upstairs.

Tyrantyr sighed and said to Henry: "My grandfather and I are good friends. He was sent here to learn when he showed his magical talent. It may be that I didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, and waited until he formed this. It’s too late to grow a personality. Well, we don’t want this anymore. Let’s ask your question now."

   Henry thought for a while and asked the first question: "Teacher, what is the bottle of poison I drank in the maze."

"Oh, that's a special mixed poison invented by the dark elves when they used to torture and torture slaves. It can stimulate the nerves of the body to the greatest extent and make it more sensitive. I have added a little more innovatively. The scorpion venom of the Ennook Desert. This measure is not fatal, but it can irritate the internal organs severely. Why would you be interested in this? Are you a believer in Lauvita?" The archmage suddenly came upon seeing the gossip. interest.

   Henry gave a wry smile and said, "No, I am not a believer in torturing ladies. It's just that I found that after the bottle of poison, my concentration became more concentrated and my internal organs strengthened. I want to see the side effects of this poison."

Tyrantir thought for a while and said, "If you don't say I really didn't pay attention, but really few people can survive the torture of this poison. During the experiment, most of the bear goblins fainted the first time after taking it. It's over. Many people who are not determined will be tortured by pain to shock. If you want, I can provide you with some for free, but I need to record your physical changes."

   "As you wish, mentor." Henry happily agreed when he saw something in hand. In the next time, Henry asked the great mage about some of the puzzles he had read these days, and Tyrantil answered them one by one. The conversation was over for forty minutes.

   Henry returned to the library to continue reading, and the golem sent a large bottle of poison during dinner. Henry checked and found that there was nothing wrong, then opened the bottle and poured out a small cup.

   "Freeman, prepare to monitor my physical condition." After speaking, he drank it. The sour taste has not disappeared, and the severe pain is coming as expected. This time he didn't need to worry about monsters and mazes, he just felt the changes in his body carefully. The muscles twitched violently, and the heart beats three times faster than before. The internal organs began to shrink and open strongly because of the stimulation. Every cell is releasing energy.

   Henry found that the pain not only didn't make his brain enter a protective coma, but instead made his attention more concentrated, and his brain was turning fast now. Enduring the pain, struggling to stand up, began to cast a first-level spell greasy spell. After successfully casting the spell, Henry thought: "At least half the time faster than usual. Perhaps because the heart beats faster, a lot of nutrients and oxygen are taken to the brain and other parts of the body." After an hour of torment, Henry was sweating profusely. Lying on the ground. Breathing fresh air quickly. Then he stood up slowly, and the effect of the medicine finally passed.

   "Freeman, report in detail on my physical condition after drinking the poison." Henry told Taring while taking off his clothes to take a bath.

"Reading the record, your body's heartbeat gradually accelerates when you drink the poison, and when it reaches its peak, it is 3.53 times the usual. All the muscles and internal organs in the body are in motion, and the cell activity is 5 times higher than usual. The brain's Calculation ability and concentration have also been temporarily strengthened. But this consumes a lot of your physical energy, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of 4 hours of long-distance running. After the effect of the drug, your whole body is in a weak state, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com, but no strength , Stamina, and intelligence will be slightly strengthened after the rest."

   Hearing here Henry lay in the bathtub and took a deep breath. After all, I didn't suffer in vain, and it seemed that I would continue to drink this poison in the future. "Report these to the mentor." After thinking of his deal with the mentor, he ordered Taling to hand over the information on the changes in his body to the archmage.

   On the top floor of the Magic Tower, Master Tailan Tier is eating dinner. This is the voice of Taring: "Master, the apprentice Henry asked me to forward this record to you." After speaking, a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air.

"Huh?" The archmage took a look at it and murmured in surprise: "I didn't expect this kind of poison made when I was boring and the effect of improving physical fitness. But what was even more unexpected was that Henry, a young man The guy really drank it. It's a pity that he doesn't become a believer in the abuse of the goddess. Otherwise, maybe he will become a voter in the future. It seems that I have to study this medicine in depth. It is best to reduce the painful side effects or Remove it. Otherwise, few people can endure this torture." The archmage dropped the parchment and the paper began to spontaneously ignite in the air. When it fell to the ground, it had become a pile of ashes.

   Henry doesn't know that Dafa is his view of his beliefs. After taking a bath, I felt much better, and I was hungry. At dinner, I ate four times the usual amount before filling my stomach. After reading for a while, I started to feel that my upper and lower eyelids were fighting. It seems that the poison consumes not only physical strength, but also energy. Thinking of this, he put down the book and turned around and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
