“Zhang Bo, Mage, you can come and sit down now. Pick a spot you like.” James saw Zhang Bo still in a daze, so he spoke up, motioning for him to come and sit.
After all, the library didn't like too much noise, and Zhang Bo, standing alone at the entrance as if he were a new student who was somewhat at a loss, indeed attracted some attention.
It would be better to have him come and sit down quickly, and then quietly discuss some magical knowledge together.
“Thank you, thank you very much, it is also an honor for me.” Zhang Bo nodded and quickly walked towards James, then sat down in an empty seat next to the Eden Guard Believers.
However, when he sat down in this empty seat and saw the Eden Guard Believers next to him who all had notebooks, quills, and inkwells, Zhang Bo felt a bit awkward.
He hadn't brought anything; he hadn't expected that studying magic here would require him to bring his own paper and pen, just like going to school.
“Prepare a set of quills, parchment, and an inkwell for Zhang Bo, Mage.” James saw his predicament, so he waved his hand, signaling to an Eden Guard Believer leaning against the wall to bring him a standard set of study supplies.
“Thank you very much.” Zhang Bo still nodded his thanks, then took the set of study supplies with both hands.
However, at this moment, he also noticed that James and the Eden Guard Believers seemed quite easy to talk to. His heart seemed to muster courage, and he softly asked James, “I apologize for disturbing you at this moment, but I am a Prophecy-type Mage. I wonder what type of magic you practice? And what kind of magic structures do you study?”
In his mage inheritance, there were eight major mage schools.
These were Evocation, Transmutation, Abjuration, Conjuration, Prophecy, Enchantment, Illusion, and Necromancy.
Each school had different functions based on its specialty.
However, with Zhang Bo's question, James and the Eden Guard Believers in front of him did not answer him directly. Instead, they exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
After all, they were not truly Mages of the Spiritual Realm, and they were completely unfamiliar with the so-called eight major schools of the Spiritual Realm.
They did not understand what the mage schools of the Spiritual Realm were like.
They were even more ignorant of the knowledge and magical structures within them.
However, since they had already mastered the spell structures in the Spiritual Realm and the Mount & Blade World, which were essentially the same thing, they did not say much. Through their previous tacit understanding, they formed a consensus.
That was to first let Zhang Bo explain the Spiritual Realm mage schools and related knowledge he understood, and then they would categorize their learned spells into schools.
This way, there would not be too much misunderstanding.
This would also gain Zhang Bo's trust, and then they could extract more knowledge from Zhang Bo's mouth.
“Zhang Bo, Mage, we are just ordinary mage apprentices here, and we mostly study knowledge and structures related to Mages. We don't have too profound research.”
At this moment, James suddenly smiled and smoothed things over: “The most crucial thing is that the main reason we came to this Torch Tower to study is to maintain the magic array of this mage tower, ensuring that it can continuously release the power of light to dispel death spirit rules.”
As he spoke, James shrugged his shoulders and said very sincerely, “Perhaps we are not as knowledgeable as you in terms of magic inheritance. After all, the crucial magic inheritance you obtained is a miraculous power evolved from the rules of the crystal wall system.”
“Is that so?” Zhang Bo also nodded, because what James said was indeed true.
After all, he also knew that the Prophecy-type Mage inheritance he received after obtaining the spiritual realm mark inheritance was actually a miraculous power evolved from rules. As long as he came into contact with it, it would directly merge into the depths of his soul, transforming him at the soul level and making him a Prophecy-type Mage.
This was also why he became a Prophecy-type Mage even before he had a soul, simply by coming into contact with this spiritual realm mark inheritance. It was a direct infusion from the crystal wall system rules.
It was an incredibly powerful and miraculous force.
He didn't need to learn too much theoretical knowledge, or even practice. As long as he could come into contact with more spiritual realm mark fragments and absorb more spirit world rules, he would continuously gain professional level advancements and acquire various spellcaster skills, knowledge, and even spells.
This was a kind of help and enhancement brought by the rules.
Moreover, this was a unique advantage that only Blue Star Humans could access and absorb the power of rules.
Zhang Bo didn't know the specific reason, but perhaps Shen Mu understood, because Blue Star Humans had no souls, which allowed them to withstand the impact of the spirit world rules.
The native creations of the Spiritual Realm, precisely because they had souls, were unable to bear the power of these rules. A slight mistake would cause them to be shattered by the power contained within the rules, their souls extinguished, and they would utterly perish.
After all, it was like a flood: an empty reservoir, no matter how much water was poured into it, would be fine.
But for a reservoir that was already full, if more water was poured in, a dam breach could occur.
Perhaps this was also an advantage of Blue Star Humans.
“In that case, perhaps Zhang Bo, Mage, could explain some of the related Spiritual Realm mage inheritances you have obtained, and let us broaden our horizons with that knowledge.” James spoke at this moment, looking at Zhang Bo and asking very sincerely, “You have obtained a complete inheritance system. For us ordinary Mages who still need to learn, perhaps you are the advanced scholar with more academic knowledge than us.”
“I cannot claim to be an advanced scholar. In that case, I will explain some of the most basic magic knowledge.” Zhang Bo thought for a moment, looking at these guys who were clearly Spiritual Realm Human Race Mages. He had already had the idea of making them his followers, so of course, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to show off now.
Before, he hadn't felt much about those ordinary Human Race soldiers. Although he knew that those Human Race soldiers were relatively strong in combat, if extraordinary power descended, there might even be extraordinary-level Human Race soldiers among them.
But for him, these were useless.
Zhang Bo was a Mage, and a Prophecy-type Mage at that.
He cared more about the help that those little monsters, who seemed to have no advancement or protection capabilities, could provide in his mage research.
In terms of combat power, spellcasters didn't personally enter the field to fight others with swords, spears, or bows and arrows.
Solving enemies from afar using various spells was what Mages, these noble spellcasters, were best at.
“Welcome, Zhang Bo, Mage, to explain some of the specific knowledge he has mastered.” James, seeing that Zhang Bo had agreed to explain, then called on the ten Eden Guard Believers to applaud and welcome his addition.
At the same time, he also had Zhang Bo come to the podium, which was the main seat in the library.
“In that case, I will start with the basics. As a Prophecy-type Mage, I know quite a lot about the eight major schools of Mages.”
Zhang Bo was not polite at this moment. Instead, because he wanted to bridge the gap and get closer, he went to the podium and began to explain to James and the ten young men dressed as mage apprentices.
“From what I understand, Mages have eight major schools: Abjuration, Conjuration, Prophecy, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, and Transmutation.”
“Of course, because Necromancy is so deeply intertwined with death spirit rules, in my inherited knowledge, those Necromancy Mages instantly transformed into Necromancers among the Undead Monsters the moment the death spirit rules fully expanded. They can no longer be viewed as regular normal people; they are also a type of Undead Monster.”
“In that case, I will talk about the other seven major schools.”
“For example, Abjuration focuses on protection and can create barriers to counteract harmful effects. These Mages can effectively provide corresponding defensive power for themselves and their comrades during adventures or legion battles.”
“Conjuration Mages are involved in the teleportation of objects and creatures, including summoning and determining planar coordinates, and even Mages involved in some spatial aspects.”
“Next are our Prophecy-type Mages, who are used to reveal information, such as what will happen in the future, or where precious treasures exist, or where there are magic fluctuations. It can be said that they are involved in some special powers of the time dimension.”
“And Enchantment Mages affect the mind, changing or controlling the behavior of others. They are basically a special type of Mage focused on the mind, and they can also enchant different objects with special magical power.”
“As for Evocation Mages, they can generate various effects by shaping magical energy, such as fire, lightning, ice, etc., to kill enemies. This mage school is basically the strongest destructive Mage school in terms of combat power.”
“Next are Illusion Mages, who primarily deceive the senses or minds of others, capable of creating different illusions to bewilder opponents. If they reach the strongest legendary level, they can even turn illusions into true entities, possessing the power of creation.”
“Finally, there are Transmutation Mages, who can change the properties of creatures, objects, or environments. They can transform into different types of creatures, plants, and even buildings. This is a very useful mage system, and it has a considerable following in adventures and legions.”
Zhang Bo explained the eight major mage schools he understood one by one.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. No wonder my previous mentors all said we belonged to the Evocation school.” And as soon as Zhang Bo finished speaking, the Eden Guard Believers all whispered to each other as if suddenly enlightened.
After all, the Solar Ray in their hands was itself a spell that created fire to kill enemies. In that case, weren't they equivalent to Evocation Mages?
“So you are Evocation Mages.” Zhang Bo was also slightly stunned at this moment, but thinking of the bright power appearing above his head, and the pure mana fluctuations required to maintain this Torch Tower, he also nodded thoughtfully: “No wonder. Evocation Mages indeed require considerable tempering, and in some special magical buildings, Evocation Mages are also dominant.”
“Then, Zhang Bo, Mage, could you introduce some of the related spells you have mastered? We would also like to learn.” At this moment, James did not let Zhang Bo ponder deeply; instead, he spoke up again, requesting.
After all, he needed to quickly understand what Spiritual Realm mage knowledge Zhang Bo possessed.
Then, they could use Zhang Bo to demonstrate their origin from the Mount & Blade World and their lack of knowledge regarding the Spiritual Realm.
After all, if they exposed that they were not actually born in the Spiritual Realm, it would be a very serious problem for them.
And James also had a corresponding understanding of why Shen Mu would allow this Zhang Bo to come to their Holy White Council's Holy Light Torch Tower to supposedly learn spells. Perhaps Shen Mu wanted them to seize the opportunity to master some knowledge and theories about the Spiritual Realm.
Therefore, James would act according to the situation, asking Zhang Bo to introduce some of the spells he had mastered in detail, and then integrate the spells possessed by these spellcasters from the Mount & Blade World into the Spiritual Realm's mage system.
This would kill two birds with one stone: not only could they successfully resolve their origin issue from the Mount & Blade World,
but they could also extract some of the spell knowledge Zhang Bo possessed, which would also be helpful for these Mages from the Mount & Blade World.
This was what James thought.
Of course, Zhang Bo also had his own plans. He saw that these Mages had accepted him so naively and even allowed him to temporarily take the lead.
Zhang Bo also felt that these Mages of the Human Race Empire were really a bit too innocent and naive.
So, he began to explain the mage knowledge he understood even more seriously.
After all, he really wanted to incorporate these Human Mages into his follower system.
If he could truly incorporate them into his follower system, it would be of enormous help to him in the future. After all, while the little monsters were skillful and could help him complete many magic experiments, no matter how skillful they were, could they compare to the greater help these true Mages of the Human Race could provide?
Moreover, even if he took them out, these Human Mages would give him more prestige than those little monsters.
Furthermore, Prophecy-type Mages were notoriously bad at combat. If there were some Evocation Mages to help him in battle, the effect would definitely be better.
