Chapter 431: Genius and Involution

"Tsk, this basic magic knowledge is indeed as simple as ever, not difficult at all. I almost understand it."

Inside the church on the dragon's back, Dorothy closed the book pages in her hand and nodded.

As a genius witch who started creating magic spells at the age of one and a half, this "crude" magic of mortal mages naturally couldn't stump her.

She easily finished reading and learned these witchcraft magics that she considered very primitive.

"Alright, it's indeed the power of mortals. The highest magic in this is only two or three rings in the witch's magic system; it's all low-level magic."

Dorothy judged so.

Although the rules of the Witch's Night sealed the witches' occult knowledge, specifically speaking, it only sealed the specific spellcasting knowledge. Memories about spell names and rough spell effects still remained.

Perhaps for others, this empty spell knowledge lacking a core had no value. After all, playing a game only gives you the icon and description of a skill upgrade, but doesn't give you the most critical skill points, so no matter how good the skill tree is, it's useless; it's just a showpiece anyway.

But this knowledge was very precious to the Home Witch. After all, this gave her a clear research direction.

People engaged in scientific research are mostly not afraid of high difficulty, but are afraid of not having a clear research direction. That feeling where everything in front is black, and you can only grope forward in the dark, not knowing whether a treasure chest or a deep pit is waiting for you, is the most uncomfortable.

If there is a role model at the beginning, and someone has already told you that as long as you keep moving in this direction, you will definitely achieve something, then the days of groping in the dark with light in your heart won't be so hard to endure.

"Hmm, as long as you give me ten days or half a month, then not to mention high-level magic above the seventh ring, it's not a big problem to come up with some mid-level magic from the 4th to 6th ring."

Dorothy thought confidently in her heart.

People's memories can be sealed, but inspiration won't be.

As a magic spell master who once created the Witch series of magic, traces of inspiration from when she created these magics in the past still remained in Dorothy's mind.

It's like a river that has temporarily dried up due to drought, but even after a long time, the traces of the riverbed washed by the water are still there. After the rainy season arrives, these dried-up riverbeds will regain their vitality.

Now this mortal magic knowledge is the sweet rain from the sky. Or perhaps it's just a drizzle now, but many drops make a river, and one day it can flow into a river.

Then...

The Home Witch extended an index finger. She didn't even chant a spell, just magic power burst out, and a wisp of flame ignited at her fingertip. Then the flame quickly rose, and in an instant, it expanded into a scorching fireball spell.

Hmm, the magic book she just finished reading was the most classic magic of the Mage, the first-ring magic—Fireball Spell.

Although this is basically a basic magic that every Mage knows, normally, a Mage apprentice learning the Fireball Spell for the first time would need at least a month or two to learn it. After all, just the principle of the Fireball Spell written into a book is as thick as a dictionary. A normal person would take a long time just reading the book, let alone applying this knowledge to practice.

Such a high learning difficulty is also one of the important reasons why the Mage has become a noble profession that only smart people can hold.

In short, if other mortal mages saw Dorothy learn this Fireball Spell in less than two hours, and could even cast it instantly without a wand or spell, that mortal mage would probably be so surprised that their chin would drop off.

Of course, Dorothy was too lazy to do this kind of showing off in front of mortals. She just changed her gesture from only extending her index finger to opening her palm completely. In the next instant, that originally crimson fireball spell started to change color, and finally turned into a state where there was only a slight wisp of purple in the middle, and the other parts were almost colorless.

And with the change in the color of the fireball spell, the surrounding temperature also started to rise rapidly.

Fortunately, in the next instant, Dorothy clenched her fist and directly crushed the fireball spell that was ready to go in her hand.

She had just made a small optimization to this mortal fireball spell, gradually raising it to the level that a witch's magic should have, and even further upgrading it from a mass-market fireball spell to an exclusive secret technique.

This is the Witch's Fireball Spell.

"Hehe, this way of sealing memories and relearning basic knowledge seems quite good. Although I still can't remember how I cast the Fireball Spell before, this version of the Fireball Spell seems not exactly the same as the previous version. If so, after the Witch's Night ends and I recover my memories, combining the two, maybe my magic attainment in the Fireball Spell can go a step further."

Dorothy thought happily.

Hmm, before on the magic web's enthusiast forum—the Fireball Spell God Sect, her saint-level Fireball Spell could only be a Cardinal, but she felt that after going back this time, she might be able to try challenging the Pope.

"Wonderful, wonderful, this way of sealing memories and relearning is even better than simple reviewing. Why didn't I think of this method before?"

The Home Witch felt happy about finding a brand new and efficient learning method for herself.

However, after the joy, feeling the magic power in her body that had instantly lost more than half, her whole person turned into a bitter melon face.

Although the witch's magic is powerful, the consumption is also high, especially since she is not using the witch's original magic power now, but the mortal mage's degraded magic power, which leads to higher consumption.

According to the witches' consumption, the magic power consumption of a standard 0-ring trick is 1 Mana, and the consumption of low-level magic from 1-3 rings ranges from 10 to 1000 Mana. Occasionally, some special magic or special spellcasting techniques can exceed the limit, but those special situations are not calculated.

And the consumption of mid-level magic from 4-6 rings is about 1000 to 10,000 Mana.

Finally, there is high-level magic from 7-9 rings, with a consumption of 10,000 to 100,000 Mana.

As for forbidden spells, that's not mentioned. There is no lower limit to consumption, and no upper limit. Every forbidden spell can be regarded as a special magic, and can only be analyzed specifically, unlike ordinary magic that has rules to summarize.

Of course, this kind of consumption is all based on the foundation of standard unevolved witch magic power, so the consumption is for reference only. After all, the witch's original magic power will undergo a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change with the increase in the amount of magic power, leading to the upgrading of magic power quality.

A Great Witch's 1 Mana magic power can be used as 10 Mana or even 100 Mana of a Little Witch. These also need to be analyzed specifically.

And because the inferior magic power controlled by human mages is far less powerful and efficient than the witches' original magic power, this leads to the fact that although human mages are not unable to learn witches' magic, even if they learn it, they are often difficult to bear the high consumption.

After all, the total magic power of a normal human mage is only about 1000 Mana, plus the consumption penalty faced when using degraded magic power to release witch magic, their spellcasting consumption is often several times that of a witch. Calculating this, they can at most play with the witch's mid-level magic.

In short, in one sentence, humans are not worthy of playing with witches' magic, and they can't afford to play with it.

Dorothy doesn't know about others, but her father Adam, who is a mortal mage, is also a legendary figure in the human world and the ceiling among human mages. His magic power has an astonishing 20,000+ Mana. But Adam used various spellcasting means, spellcasting materials, and auxiliary materials, and his final limit of spellcasting still only stayed at the witch's 7th-ring magic.

Relying on this, he barely passed a senior mage title in the witch world, which is equivalent to the junior high school graduation level of the witch world. Now he has become a wage earner under his stepmother Annie, a standard soft-rice man supported by a rich woman.

Even though Annie has been trying to improve Adam's magic power, thinking about whether he can go further, there is no way. Humans really can't be carried. Even if witches have many good things in their hands, mortals' fragile bodies are prone to being unable to bear the supplement. Forcibly strengthening them really might kill them.

This made Annie so anxious that she almost hardened her heart and bit Adam, turning him into a vampire. But Adam refused to die, and has been persistently retaining his human identity.

Anyway, the husband and wife have quarreled a lot because of this, but in the end, it is usually the stepmother who yields first, which makes Dorothy very envious. She really wants to learn her old man's skill of "no one can teach me how to do things" and forcibly eating soft rice hard.

So the problem comes now. Her father Adam has already proven the lagging upper limit of humans, and now Dorothy...

"No matter how high the skill level is, what's the use if the blue bar can't keep up? I fall..."

The Home Witch felt very tired. She has been tortured by the length of the blue bar all her life. Now even playing a game has to suffer this kind of crime.

It's just that there's no way. It's the path she chose herself, so what else can she do? Even if it's bitter and tired, she has to finish walking with tears.

Dorothy cast her gaze toward Dinisha opposite.

If this God King succeeds in awakening, then using her natural authority as the first original witch, she can convert others into witches. The witch clan in history came from this.

If Dorothy can be converted, then naturally she won't be troubled by this lagging mortal identity.

But who let her not have the heart to light that fire?

"Sigh, forget it. If the blue bar doesn't work, isn't there still a life-spending option?"

The Home Witch cast her gaze toward another magic classic in her hand.

Its name is "Life and Magic Power."

And if you want to give this book a popular and easy-to-understand name, it should actually be "Blood Magic Conversion," which can convert human life force into magic power.

After all, the essence of a mortal mage's magic power is degraded life magic power, and life magic power is the product of the second-level degradation of original magic power, which is at the same level as the moon magic power of the Moon Rabbits.

Mortal mages accumulate magic power in their daily lives by collecting the life force naturally lost from their own natural loss, converting it into magic power. Besides that, it is by relying on eating and eating to convert the life force of other animals and plants into magic power.

Because of this, there is this witchcraft secret method of "Life and Magic Power." This book was originally taught to mages how to accumulate magic power more efficiently through eating, but when necessary, you can also use it as a life-spending method, burning your own life to forcibly increase the blue bar.

"Pah pah pah, what am I thinking? It's really unlucky. Even if you sacrifice life force, it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your own. Can't you sacrifice the enemy's? I'll directly magic-modify it into 'Sucking Star Dafa'."

The Home Witch got up and looked at a bunch of fresh flowers in front of the church statue. She walked up and extended her finger to touch those flowers that were still fresh. In the next instant, the whole bunch of flowers withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pile of rotten mud.

"Hmm, the effect is okay. In the future, I will suck people's lives with my left hand and slap people's faces with fireballs with my right hand. It can be considered as having some self-protection power."

Dorothy nodded quite satisfactorily.

She didn't continue to look at other magic classics afterward, but cast her gaze again toward Miss Dinisha opposite who was still frowning and studying hard.

It's also true. This future God King is after all a mortal now, and it's also the first time she has come into contact with witchcraft magic knowledge. It's really a bit difficult for a layman to learn magic like this. If magic were really so easy to learn, then everyone would be a mage, and the Mage would be worthless directly.

"How is it? Can you understand it? If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Dorothy tried hard to keep a straight face and said seriously.

There's no way. If she didn't keep a straight face, she was really afraid that she would collapse directly. After all, look at what she is doing now. She is actually trying to teach the God King, this true ancestor of all laws, to learn magic.

This is no longer dancing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong; it's directly showing off literacy in front of the legendary inventor of Chinese characters.

You must know that the original eight systems of witches were all created by the God King herself. Giving a lecture to the ancestor is truly a bit stressful.

But there's no way. In order to let this ancestor who hasn't awakened yet obtain combat power as soon as possible, she can only pretend to be bold and try to pull up the seedlings to help them grow.

It's just...

"Most of it is quite simple, but I think some places are too cumbersome and complicated. It could clearly be simplified. And some places seem to be able to be modified, just like this."

Miss Dinisha opposite heard the inquiry, looked up, and she extended her hand somewhat embarrassedly. Then a ball of light rose from her hand just like that.

This is the 0-ring trick Light Spell. Besides being able to be used for lighting, it has no lethality.

Dorothy threw this book of magic to her before just to take care of Dinisha, who was a newcomer who had just learned magic. This is the most friendly magic for newcomers to get started.

It's just that such a simple Light Spell started to deform in the hands of Miss Shepherd Girl at this moment. The magic that was originally just a little starlight turned into a cross light sword just like that.

"Dorothy, I just tried it casually. You see if it's right."

Dinisha waved the light sword in her hand casually, and then said to Dorothy somewhat embarrassedly.

Home Witch: "???"

Good guy, directly upgraded the 0-ring trick to a 1st-ring Swift Light Sword. Although it still looks a bit crude, the basic structure has indeed taken shape.

Mom, is this the talent of the God King level? It's truly terrifying. Compared to her, I...

Oh, it seems I am still more powerful, then it's fine.

"Hmm, not bad, Dinisha, you have a talent for being a mage. It's just a little bit worse than me. Come on, keep working hard, I am very optimistic about you."

In order to maintain her dignity as a former scholar, Dorothy tearfully consumed a bit more of the little magic power left in her body, modified the originally ordinary Fireball spell into a Great Flame Sword, then performed a few beautiful sword flourishes, and only then said this so calmly.

And to this, Dinisha, who was actually still a little proud, looked at the mighty and domineering Flame Greatsword in the hands of the sister opposite, and then looked at the starlight one-handed sword in her hand that was actually not sharp, and immediately felt ashamed and dissipated the starlight sword, then continued to read.

Miss Shepherd Girl's face was a bit flushed. Originally, she felt that she might have some talent in magic, but now looking at it, it was she who was floating. She was still far away. How embarrassing.

However, Dinisha was not too depressed. At this moment, she was full of motivation. After all, Dorothy also said that her talent was not bad.

Hmm, keep working hard, work hard to become stronger, strong enough to at least be able to help Dorothy in the future. And if the talent is not good, then rely on double the effort. She can always slowly catch up with Dorothy.

After all, she is the sister, how can she always be protected by the younger sister?

Dinisha, who was a few months older among the sisters who grew up together, thought so in her heart.

And on the other side, Dorothy, who had originally slacked off a little because she had self-protection power, also continued to lower her head and picked up a new magic classic to read.

Mom, there is no time to slack off anymore. Otherwise, she will be caught up by Dinisha soon.

Although there is really no need to compare with this future God King, if another witch were here, she would definitely not try to compare talent with the Witch King, but Dorothy just didn't want to lose. She didn't know where this groundless heart of comparison came from.

In short, open the book.

And just when the sisters started to compete secretly, the fingers of Adam lying on the bed beside him moved slightly. Subsequently, the giant dragon that had been flying also seemed to have finally reached its destination, and it started to descend.
