Chapter 153 Mathematics of Mage
Green didn't know the progress of the teaching in Yoder Village, but the entry requirement of the Lisbon Junior Academy of Magic is to master any spell before the age of 13.
According to Green's thinking, no matter how "salted fish" the children in Yoder Village are, the gap with those "elites" should not be too big.However, the results were very bad.
Not to mention solid geometry, not even plane geometry and algebra!
The children with the best grades are only able to add, subtract, multiply and divide two-digit numbers. This result is unexpected, but it is also reasonable-after all, it is just a group of elementary school students in their early ten years old, and even the oldest among them can't do it. But it is equivalent to a junior high school student on Earth.
But in this way, Green was a little bit blind: "If you don't know spatial geometry, how do you draw the spell model?" Green couldn't help but look at the old mage at the end, "Old Tom, don't you need to be in the middle when you cast a spell?" Draw a magic model in your head?"
Old Tom recovered from his contemplation: "Of course it is necessary. If there is not even a model, the magic power cannot be gathered at all."
Green: "But these children have never learned the geometry of space. How do they build models in their heads?"
Old Tom said with embarrassment: "For the spell model... as long as the shape is similar, as long as the casting gestures and spells are correct, the model only needs to look similar."
Hearing Old Tom's words, Green frowned: "It's almost enough?"
"Yeah." Old Tom nodded, "It's almost enough."
Green looked back at the model on the blackboard, lowered his head and thought for a while, then took out the phosphorous moss from his pocket and began to cast the spell.
Gestures...perfect.
Models... sketches.Just have a rough shape.
The spell...perfect.
"Light Art!"
The mana was consumed, but there was no response at all.
"Sure enough, is the error of the spell model too big?"
Green bowed his head and thought for a while, then started to cast the spell again.
This time, Green slightly improved the accuracy of some models.
"Light Art!"
A small ball of light appeared in Green's hand.
"It's really almost enough?" Green used to draw the model with a ruler and a pen, and the accuracy was extremely high, but now he directly uses a pen to draw quickly, and the accuracy error is much higher. It is possible The spell casting failed, but the casting speed has also increased a bit.
Obviously, carefully sketching with a ruler takes far more time than this kind of sketching, and using this method can save Green a lot of time.
Suddenly, a light flashed in Green's mind!
etc!Could it be said that [Spell Instant Cast] is also like this?
Green took out a piece of boiled leather from his pocket, ready to cast his best spell—mage armor.
The gesture... perfect!
Models...sketches...I'll wipe it! ?I haven't drawn yet, how come the model is built! ?
Green's mind was in turmoil, and the spell failed instantly.
calm down.
Green began to cast spells again.
The gesture... perfect!
The model... was copied in an instant.
Mantra... streamlined.
"Mage Armor!"
As Green's voice just fell, a transparent armor appeared on Green's body.
Green carefully recalled the previous spell-casting process: "So that's it. The instant spell is a 'copy and paste' type of quick modeling, rather than slowly drawing manually. I just started, and the model was pasted. I didn't know it before. Take note of that."
"I have figured out the principle of instant spell casting. Let's try fixed spell casting next."
After canceling the mage armor on his body, Green began to cast spells again.
Gestures... omitted.
Model...perfect.
The spell...perfect.
"Mage Armor!"
nothing happened...
"Strange, can't the gesture be omitted? What is the problem?"
Just when Green wanted to continue the experiment, Old Tom finally couldn't help waking Green up.
Old Tom: "That...Mr. Green."
"Huh?" Green looked up.
"Still in class now..."
Green rubbed his head: "Ah, I'm sorry. I forgot about myself for a moment because I thought of something."
"It's okay. Mr. Green, can you please explain to us what you just said..." The old mage looked at the blackboard, "Is there a three-dimensional coordinate system?"
"This..." Green looked back at the blackboard, "This is beyond the standard. These children should be learning algebra and plane geometry now, right?"
"No, that..." The old mage hesitated, "I hope you can explain it a little bit, so that I can follow along and learn."
Green was shocked: "You don't know solid geometry, do you?"
"Haha." The old mage smiled awkwardly, "My spells are wild and I learned them randomly by myself, so... well, I don't quite understand some of the high-end theories of your academy."
Green looked at the old mage delicately: "I see."
The average architect learns to draw first, and then learns to build houses.And the old mage in front of him is the kind of "old craftsman" who can't understand architectural drawings at all, but can still build houses with experience.
When building some simple houses, the "old craftsman" can still make do, but once the house structure is too complicated, the "old craftsman" is a bit blind.
This principle also applies to mages.Due to the lack of sufficient theoretical support, the early stage is fine, and you can rely on experience to cope with it, but in the later stage, you are a little bit blind.And the old mage seemed to be aware of this, so he took the initiative to ask Green for advice.
And Green didn't hide his secrets, and took the initiative to explain the relevant rules.
The children in the classroom were confused, but Old Tom's eyes became brighter and brighter!
Old Tom: "So that's it. With this three-dimensional coordinate system, it's much easier to understand the spell model! But although this can accurately outline the spell models of the zero-level and first-level spells, but... what about the second-level spells? "
"Just add another variable to the three-dimensional coordinate system and turn it into a four-dimensional coordinate system."
"Four-dimensional coordinate system?" Old Tom looked at his fingers and frowned. "Three-dimensional? Variables? Four-dimensional? Is there a fourth dimension in space?"
"The second-level spells do involve the concept of four-dimensional space. If you can't understand it, even if you are an advanced extraordinary mage, you may not be able to learn the second-level spells." Green paused, "Come on."
"Extraordinary mage..." The old mage suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance in this life."
"Huh? Could it be that you have failed to advance?"
"Yes." The old mage smiled bitterly, "Not only did the advancement fail, but my familiar also died."
"Sorry." If you fail to advance, you will lose attributes and magic power. If the familiar dies and loses some magic power, the success rate of the advancement will become very ugly.
The old mage looked at Mona who was following Green: "Is your familiar a man-made familiar? It looks quite special. Not only does it have a certain amount of wisdom, but it also seems to be able to split and proliferate."
The corner of Green's mouth twitched slightly, without explanation.
Familiar?Green didn't know where his familiar was. The only thing he could be sure of was that it was still alive, and its location was changing every day, so there was no way to locate it.
