Chapter 150

The spell model of 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 is a standard ten-node cantrip model.

Gao De took paper and pen, spent a few minutes establishing a coordinate system, and converted the ten nodes into corresponding ternary array coordinates.

After spending some time memorizing these ten ternary arrays, he began to try to build the 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 spell model.

As one of the three compulsory courses of Sairisi Academy, "Spell Application and Combat" is extremely rich in content and form.

The first few courses were purely theoretical classes.

And after the theoretical classes ended, the teaching venue changed from the classroom to the outdoor spell experimental field.

The spell experimental field was established by the academy specifically for students and instructors to test spell power.

After all, the destructive power of spells is generally very great, and there will be various additional special effects, such as the corrosiveness of acid splashes, etc.

If a venue is not specially set up for magic users to test spells, and magic users are allowed to cast spells everywhere, the academy will be dismantled sooner or later. The spell experimental field is naturally built in the most remote location of the academy, away from the crowd, so as not to disturb the people.

And it covers a huge area, surrounded by a circle of gray and solid granite, and some complex composite runes were drawn on the walls.

Gao De, who has been studying Rune Studies for more than a month, can recognize that there are zero-level basic runes such as "Solidification," "Magic Gathering," and "Isolation" among them.

This is to prevent some magic users whose accuracy is open to question from blowing spells out of the field, and some powerful magic users from failing to hold back their hands, causing the aftermath of spell power to rush out of the experimental field and accidentally injure passersby.

The spell experimental field has a public large field and separate private rooms.

The public large field has the advantage of cheap usage fees, and the disadvantage is that it has to be used with others, which may not only be disturbed but also expose the spells you have mastered.

Most magic users attach great importance to the three principles of magic users and are unwilling to expose their spells.

So instead, private rooms with expensive usage fees and relatively small space are more popular.

Of course, since it is a class, it can only be carried out in the public large field.

In addition, it is free.

It may be that the usage fee of the spell experimental field is included in the course fee.

The public large field is very spacious, and the area is about the same size as a comprehensive track and field stadium in Gao De's past life.

Dozens of spell-testing puppets manufactured by the Alchemy Department were placed in the center of the field.

Yes, they are spell-testing puppets made with the gold ore mined in the freshman entrance task as raw materials.

The puppet is pale gold in its entirety, made of gold ore, and fine patterns are carved on the surface.

The eyes embedded on the left and right are black modules like electronic screens, but the surface is not completely smooth, but covered with tiny runes and grooves; it is not known what use they have at present.

"The same spell, not to mention that the power difference between a magic user apprentice and a 1-circle magic user is huge, even in the hands of magic users of the same level, there will be huge differences..."

"The application, control, and understanding of spells can make the same spell completely different in the hands of different magic users..."

"Mastering a spell does not mean that it is over after building a spell model... Building a spell model successfully is just the starting point for mastering this spell; how to apply it specifically is a more profound and long-term learning."

Instructor Falong of "Spell Application and Combat" spoke with spit flying.

Gao De listened very seriously and quite agreed.

It's like the same Tai Chi, in the hands of Zhang Sanfeng, it is four ounces to move a thousand pounds, hitting one if one comes, and hitting a pair if a pair comes.

In the hands of the old man in the park, it is that if you dare to come, you have to pay a thousand gold.

Of course, this comparison is relatively extreme, but that's what it means.

"You may not be able to understand yet, I'll give you an example." Seeing that everyone was listening very seriously, Falong nodded with satisfaction.

He decided to demonstrate it on the spot to deepen the students' impression, so as to be more attentive to the subsequent practical operation.

"Mage Hand should be a cantrip that all of you have mastered..." While speaking, Falong had already cast Mage Hand.

He controlled the Mage Hand to approach one of the spell-testing puppets.

"As you know, Mage Hand can replace our hands to manipulate, carry, or move objects in most cases, and it is a cantrip with a very high frequency of use."

"However, Mage Hand also has limitations; one is that it cannot carry objects exceeding 10 pounds."

"Of course, this limitation can be improved with the improvement of your magic user level; for example, my Mage Hand can now carry objects exceeding 30 pounds."

"Another limitation is that Mage Hand can only perform some simple actions, and complex instructions cannot be completed..." "And this limitation can be broken through with practice and the improvement of your understanding and mastery of it."

"Watch closely."

Under the gaze of everyone, Falong manipulated the Mage Hand to operate on the chest of the spell-testing puppet.

Those are several metal parts, connected in a very clever way, so that a thin shell similar to a crab shell is seamlessly fitted to the chest of the puppet.

And what Falong has to do now is to disassemble these metal parts.

This job is not difficult, but it is very delicate.

Mage Hand can perform a certain degree of operation, but it is not competent for this kind of highly delicate operation.

But after some effort, Falong actually controlled the Mage Hand to really disassemble the metal parts.

Then, he took advantage of the situation to remove the shell on the chest of the puppet, revealing a groove on the chest of the spell-testing puppet.

A magic crystal was placed in the groove, but it was already gray, which means the energy in it had been exhausted.

Falong temporarily placed the metal parts on the ground, and then took out the magic crystal with exhausted energy from the groove.

Immediately after, Falong controlled the Mage Hand to take out a brand-new standard magic crystal from a box on the side and put it into the groove.

"The use of spell-testing puppets requires magic crystals for power." While demonstrating, Falong also introduced the spell-testing puppet to everyone.

Seeing that the magic crystal had been installed, Falong nodded with satisfaction and lifted the Mage Hand, "When you can use Mage Hand to replace magic crystals for spell-testing puppets like me, your mastery of Mage Hand will have entered the hall."

"Of course, it is impossible for you to reach my level in a short time, but don't be discouraged..." While speaking, Falong's eyes scanned the faces of the students and finally stayed on the face of a student.

"You try it."

"Me?" Gao De, who was randomly picked by Falong, was a bit stunned.

"Yes, you use Mage Hand to try my operation just now." Falong nodded and pointed to another spell-testing puppet on the side.

Letting students experience it personally and then comparing it with his demonstration just now can better reflect that "the application, control, and understanding of spells can make the same spell completely different in the hands of different magic users."

Gao De was slightly embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and stood out.

His heart moved, and he had already triggered the 【Mage Hand+】 spell model in the spell sea, summoned the invisible ghost hand, and moved to the chest of the spell-testing puppet.

Falong smiled slightly, already anticipating what would happen next.

He bent down calmly, picked up the metal parts on the ground, and assembled them on the chest of the spell-testing puppet with both hands.

—Compared to disassembly, assembly is more delicate and is no longer something Mage Hand can handle; it must be done by hand.

It was just that Falong had just installed the shell when he heard a crisp click.

This was the sound of the mechanism on the chest of the spell-testing puppet being unlocked... Hmm?!

Falong widened his eyes and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

It came from the spell-testing puppet he designated for Gao De to try; I saw that the shell on its chest had already been opened.

In Falong's astonished gaze, Gao De controlled the Mage Hand to take out the magic crystal with exhausted energy just like he demonstrated just now, and replaced it with a new magic crystal.

"How did he disassemble the metal parts of the spell-testing puppet?" Falong, who missed the previous disassembly process because he was busy assembling the parts, couldn't help but think.

But Gao De wasn't finished yet.

After replacing the magic crystal for the spell-testing puppet, he focused on controlling the Mage Hand, picked up the metal parts temporarily placed on the ground, and operated them on the chest of the puppet clumsily.

Assembly is much more difficult than disassembly.

And Gao De didn't want to expose that his Mage Hand had two hands, so he could only control one Mage Hand to operate, so he also felt a bit arduous.

But fortunately, after some effort, he still managed to cover the "shell" on the chest of the spell-testing puppet.

Seeing that everything was done, Gao De breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and recovered from the focused state.

"Instructor Falong, is it like this?" He looked at Falong and asked.
