Vol 3 Chapter 67: "Spell"

Sensing the terrifying power, Ace made a decisive decision to abandon the entire mental tentacles.
The abandoned mental tentacles were quickly burned to ashes by Chen Hui's power, and Ace's face was pale and very ugly.
"Random positioning is almost inevitable with security risks, but if I don't explore, I am afraid I will never be able to obtain more useful coordinates and discover various alien creatures.
Don't give up food because of choking. Improve the magic circle and set up a magic circle to interrupt the summoning ceremony in advance. "
A week later, Ace added a new magic circle to the compound magic circle of the non-directional summoning ritual, interrupting the ritual magic circle.
This magic circle is equivalent to a safety valve. When necessary, the consciousness and mental tentacles of the summoner can be forcibly retracted, or the mental tentacles can be cut off and destroyed, so as to prevent the handle from being discovered.
Ace stood on the magic circle and started the non-directional summoning ceremony again, hum!
The space barrier quickly broke through, and the unique coordinate rune quickly formed.
Ace looked at this coordinate rune, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. This coordinate rune was very similar to the coordinate rune at his location. The only difference was that the strange symbol structure formed in it was reversed.
It is like a mirror, reflecting two symmetrical coordinate runes.
It was completely different from the previous feeling, it was like jumping into the river in a trance. Instead of entering the river, it entered the reflection of the river.
This is a dark world, almost only gray and white.
If you want to compare it, the world is like a pencil sketch. When the creator created it, he seemed so busy that he forgot to paint.
Dark and cold, this power made Ace feel as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Lord of Darkness!"
The name of him suddenly popped out of his mind. Everything here is so similar to gray and shadow. The only difference is that there is no chaotic will everywhere, only bitter cold and gloom.
"There must be something to do with the Lord of Darkness." Ace thought involuntarily.
He looked around and found that the environment here was very similar to the valley in the High Tower Domain, and the reflection of the gray-white Luminous City was under his vision.
Looking further away, here is the reflection of the valley, the whole world is strange and landy, some mountains are upside down, some ground is like water waves, some hills disappear instantly, and some places look like the real world.
At this moment, Ace began to notice the creature he was positioning. It was a peculiar crow, composed entirely of shadows, perhaps called the shadow crow.
The crow looked at Ace's spiritual tentacles and the ceremonial fog with smart eyes, flying up and down around him, gently pecking at Ace's spiritual tentacles.
According to Ace's observations, the strength of this crow is estimated to be equivalent to that of the ordinary blood crow in the Lal Mountains, but the shadow creature can directly touch the spirit body, which is unexpected for Ace.
Different from the dependents created by the Lord of Darkness, with the chaotic atmosphere of the abyss, this crow is a pure shadow composition, a primitive shadow creature, and has high research value.
Ace inspires the contract magic circle, the ritual fog is surrounded, and the soul spell "Charm Monster" is excited, enticing this smart shadow crow to sign a master-slave contract with him.
The Shadow Crow seemed to feel bad, but the ceremonial fog and the "charming monster" both tempted it, and it finally concluded a master-slave contract with Ace.
Along with the contract rune structure leaving a master and slave mark on its shadow body, the ritual fog was also absorbed by it, and it grew a lot in almost an instant.
Ace inspired the Summoning Magic Array, and the coordinate rune in the Summoning Array appeared, connected with the reflection coordinate rune, and formed a space transmission channel under the magical rhythm of the Magic Array.
The space around the shadow crow began to twist, and while breathing, it moved from the reflection world to the real world, the third floor of the West Tower of the Magic School Castle.
A month later, at the East Tower of the Magic School Castle, an academic journal was brewing.
Standing on the high platform, Ace was wearing a dark magic robe, the six-pointed star badge was shining, and the shadow on the sole of his feet was twisting from time to time, and occasionally a few shadow crows appeared.
Eleven intermediate wizard apprentices sat in the seats under the stage, looking at Ace on the stage, staring at his shadow curiously.
Ace did not explain the meaning of his shadow to the apprentices, he said to the apprentices:
"You have met all the graduation requirements, except for publishing an academic paper. Today, I will teach you how to write an academic paper. Many of you have actually researched the corresponding results, but you need to transform the results into a unified standard Papers!
Papers and journals will be a powerful way for wizards to collide with high-level thought sparks. We follow the principle of equivalent exchange, but if some knowledge can be shared, it will be more beneficial to all of us.
I think that we should share basic runes, the principles of magic, mathematics and even the principles of magic, and these guiding knowledge will be published in the form of papers.
All published papers should have one characteristic, that is verifiability..."
After listening to Ace's speech, the intermediate apprentices gradually gained an understanding of the format of papers and journals, but their purely theoretical understanding left them a little confused.
At this time, Ace took out eleven scrolls of parchment from the space around his waist, and the shadows beneath him surged, and eleven shadow crows sprang out, clutching the scrolls with paws, and handing them to every wizard apprentice present. .
Bayern took the scroll handed by the Shadow Crow, and he slowly opened it with the icy touch.
A line of title came into view, "Five Common Applications of the Activation Series Spells", evaluation: found the magic path of the activation of dead objects and plants, laying the foundation for the activation of dead objects, it is extremely pioneering, discussing and important Sex.
"You just graduated from the elementary school of magic. You don't need to explore the mystery of magic too deeply, as long as you can innovate a certain spell, or improve a certain rune structure, or even a rune, and propose a new rune or rune structure. The application of, or some very imaginative magic technique, can be a paper.
At the end of the thesis, you should indicate the source of reference, such as the article I published in the magic book, the textbook you studied, etc. In the future, if other people publish papers, if they refer to your papers, they also need to indicate the source of reference.
This form ~EbookFREE.me~ I call it a citation.
The publication of the thesis will reward certain magic stones, and the citation of the paper will generate academic points. I will open a magic shop. Magic stones can be used to purchase various common magic products.
Academic points can be used to exchange various precious existences, such as rituals, magic materials, magic items, magic potions, contract monsters, etc.
For example, 100 academic points can be exchanged for a senior apprentice promotion ceremony. "
Ace looked at the apprentices studying the demonstration essay he had sent them, and said softly.
Two months later, all the apprentices in the castle learned of the news that the magic journal "Spell" will be officially launched next month, and the submission conditions will be announced on the inaugural issue. Everyone can read and learn the articles on "Spell" for free. .
All this has caused apprentices to discuss that knowledge is valuable. This concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although it is said that graduation papers must be published, many apprentices are a little unwilling to share their research results for free.
In the castle hall of the magic school, Eddie spit out and said to the apprentices at the next table: "I, Eddie, don’t want to share my research for free. Even if my magic research cannot be improved or graduated, I have to maintain knowledge. price!"
