Sixth Ring Wizard-Chapter 608: The Toad Departs
Chapter 608: Chapter 608: The Toad Departs
After some contemplation, Herag chose the category of books about rules to supplement his current lack of understanding in this area.
"In-depth Understanding of Rule Principles"
"Exploration of Rule Principles"
"Introduction to Rules"
"Exploring the Principles of Enchantment Starting from Succubi"
...
Herag borrowed thirty-two books at once, all of which were research works on rules.
These books arrived quickly, packed together in a small wooden box.
In the following month, Herag shut himself away to focus on studying these books.
Though these books were also recorded in Shenlan’s database, Herag still needed to learn and comprehend them fully by himself.
After skimming through these books, Herag’s understanding of rules improved by leaps and bounds.
These books were authored by particularly outstanding wizards from ancient times to the present who appeared in the Boundary Land, containing their thoughts and reflections, which were incredibly helpful to Herag.
If Herag were to explore and summarize these experiences by himself, it probably would take him thousands of years.
This is the significance of knowledge inheritance; the wisdom of the predecessors allows the successors to stand taller and walk faster.
Rules are an exquisitely intricate and marvelous existence; these books merely allowed Herag to see beyond the surface of the rules, lifting a layer of the veil.
However, deeper aspects of rules are still beyond Herag’s reach and some are even incomprehensible to him.
Originally, Herag didn’t consider himself to be overly ignorant, but after reading these books, he realized how little he understood about rules.
Truly the more you learn, the more you feel ignorant and recognize the inadequacy of your knowledge.
Herag now feels that a Level 2 Wizard is like a child who has just opened their eyes and can see the world.
But he does not understand this world completely, as a Level 2 Wizard merely takes the first steps on this path.
While Herag was reading, the Toad emerged.
"Back so soon?" Herag asked.
The Toad and Andres had not seen each other for a long time; Andres should want to spend more time with Toad.
Furthermore, Toad’s memory had not yet recovered, and indeed Andres might be trying to help Toad restore its memories.
The revival time for Toad was still too short. It hadn’t been many years since Herag came into contact with the pocket watch, which, for an existence like Toad, was actually a very short time; many memories not returning was entirely normal.
The Toad said, "I’m here mainly to tell you that I am going to a place with Andres, which might take a few or several decades. During the time I’m away, you should be careful on your own. However, as long as I have time, I can still project myself over."
"Alright, you two be careful as well." Herag said.
He and the Toad share a Messenger Contract, enabling him to summon with just a thought.
Upon receiving Herag’s summons, Toad would sense it immediately and project itself over whenever it could.
Herag didn’t ask Toad where it was going, as a place that Toad and Andres would both visit together couldn’t be ordinary, possibly involving many secrets, which would be inconvenient for him to inquire about.
The Toad nodded, "Mhm, strive to grow as much as possible during this time; I’ve already informed Andres, the Sixth Ring Tower will give you a bit more support."
"Take care." Herag said.
Typically, Toad’s true form exists within the Abyss Plane, and projections can be in any plane.
The true form and projections can act independently, yet the Toad still came to inform Herag, indicating that the place it was headed to might be dangerous.
The level of danger might be high enough that it wouldn’t have the leisure to project itself.
Herag considered this, cautioning the Toad to be extra careful.
He suspected that Andres might be entering the Abyss Plane to act alongside the Toad’s true form.
Even though these two are strong, there are still dangers in the Abyss Plane.
The Toad nodded and then slipped into the void.
After the Toad left, Herag looked at the towering stack of books beside him, realizing that from now on he’d have to rely entirely on himself.
If not for the Toad’s presence, he might have died several times by now.
The spells he purchased also arrived a few days later, and because they came from the second-hand market, the delivery was a bit delayed.
Herag spent over thirty thousand magic stones in total, purchasing seventeen second-level spells.
Apart from the four newly comprehended rule powers, Herag also supplemented with some spells from the Spatial Element and the Time Element.
The spell model books here were also very inexpensive, at least far cheaper than on the Wizard Plane.
...
Two months later.
During this time, besides mastering all the newly-purchased spells, Herag also spent a substantial amount of time studying the books he previously bought.
His understanding of rules has once again improved significantly, and there were some things Herag felt he could attempt.
That being the self-creation of second-level spells.
Herag’s initial attempts at creating second-level spells were mainly in preparation for the future.
He knew that for a Level 3 Wizard to ascend to a Level 4 Wizard, it was necessary to create a rule.
However, as to how to create a rule, Herag currently had no concept or clue.
Second-level spells are about utilizing rules, perhaps he might gain some inspiration from them.
The most crucial aspect is that with Shenlan, he can accomplish some spell creation according to his needs.
After careful consideration, Herag commanded Shenlan, "Shenlan, propose some second-level spell plans. This spell needs to be able to monitor any movement and change in the surrounding rules."
"Task documented. Analyzing and calculating, estimated to take 7 hours."
Herag had been pondering over this issue, which was that upon reaching the level of a Level 2 Wizard, they predominantly utilize rule power.
Rule power is incredibly potent, and the slightest carelessness could result in serious harm.
Rules are inherently formless, extremely hidden.
Ordinarily, without intentional awareness, or without a deep mastery of rule power, it is difficult to detect the subtle changes in these rules at any given time.
If the wizard has a high level of control over rule power, they can allow the rules to operate silently without the enemy being aware.
Herag has always lacked means in this regard, and even after searching within the Wizard’s Mark, he found no such spell.
It’s at least not available on the market, or perhaps Herag hasn’t found it.
He inquired with the Acorn, but the Acorn couldn’t think of any similar spells either.
The Acorn said Herag’s concept was good, but actually implementing it was quite difficult.
This is because rule power is ubiquitous, and various types of rules intertwine, with these rules constantly flowing and operating.
