"You … You … You want to learn my magic?"
What did Hiri hear? A demon who believed in chaos and darkness actually wanted to learn the magic of the God of Order?
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Josiah didn't know why Hiri was so surprised even though she had been in a state of panic since a while ago.
"Indeed there isn't."
Other than a few sects of Gods, many Magicians in the world believed in more than one God. This was to increase the variety of magic they learned.
The strength of one's faith had nothing to do with one's own strength. The Gods only gave the Magician seeds of magic. If they wanted to germinate, it all depended on the Magician's own learning.
Thus, the majority of people in the world only treated the 'gods' as a tool to learn magic. They didn't really worship them, and Ciri was one of them.
If there was anything that mages really worshipped, it would be something called "knowledge."
Hiri took out a wooden statue from her robe pocket and placed it on the ground. Her fingertips glowed with a pale white light.
She moved her finger on the ground a few times. With the wooden statue as the center, a magic circle formed by the pale white light began to revolve around it.
"Just touch the wood carving with your hand."
In Hiri's world, everyone would go through this ritual when they were six years old. No matter how talented they were, the seeds of different types of magic would be planted in their bodies.
This was also a necessary procedure to survive in the human world. Just like the identity card on Earth, only with an identity card could one become a citizen.
It was also Hiri's first time hosting this kind of ritual. She was a super newbie who didn't even have a Level 2 Magic Certificate. Not only did she have to host this kind of ritual, but the target of the ritual was a demon!
If the God of Order really existed, she hoped that he wouldn't bestow divine punishment on her.
This was the first time Hiri prayed since she believed in the God of Order.
"Like this?"
Josiah didn't feel any danger from the magic circle drawn by Hiri. The mana in the magic circle was also pitifully low. It was almost the same as the Illumination spell.
So, Josiah touched the wooden statue according to Hiri's instructions.
The pale white light began to gather at Josiah's fingertips, and then flowed into Josiah's body through the wooden statue.
There was more and more light, and the whole room was filled with this kind of shimmering particles. When all of them rushed into Josiah's body, Josiah found that there was something extra in his vision.
Josiah could see some complicated characters and symbols as soon as he opened his eyes. There were more than a hundred of them. The characters and symbols did not belong to any language system that Josiah knew, but Josiah could understand the meaning of these characters.
The first symbol represented 1, the second 0, and the meaning of A and B.
"These symbols that appear in my eyes are … inscriptions?"
Josiah waved his hand and found that these symbols disappeared in the air. When he thought about it, they appeared in front of Josiah again.
Josiah had seen these symbols before. Among the inventions of the third prince, there were a lot of symbols in the same style. These inscriptions replaced the mechanical gears to support the operation of those magic powered machines.
"Inscriptions, the inscriptions of Order."
Success … Hiri didn't expect that a demon could successfully accept the seed of magic.
Hiri let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a small sense of accomplishment.
She was the first person in the world to let a demon accept the magic of Order! This kind of achievement … Even her rich sister couldn't do it.
"How many inscriptions can you see? Two is a pass, three is excellent, and four belongs to the level of genius. "
Hiri said the words of her first magic teacher, the teacher who helped Hiri awaken her magic.
One must know that she was a super genius who could see five inscriptions when she just awakened!
"Numbers?"
Josiah opened his eyes again and glanced at the large pile of symbols in front of him, roughly estimating that there were more than two hundred.
"More than two hundred." Josiah said.
"What?!"
Hiri, who had finally used the two emotions of pride and self-satisfaction to dilute her fear, fell into a sluggish state when she heard Josiah's answer.
There were two standards to measure whether a magician was strong or not. The first was the amount of magic contained in the body, and the second was the number of inscriptions.
Inscriptions were the most basic element of building magic. To use a powerful magic, it required a lot of magic support and hundreds or even thousands of inscriptions to chant.
The acquisition of inscriptions depended on the magician's own understanding of the world, which was the so-called 'knowledge'!
Hiri had only mastered more than twenty magic inscriptions, which she awakened after five or six years of traveling around. But what was with this demon in front of her?
More than two hundred?!
If she was not lying, this guy's knowledge and understanding of the world was even more thorough than the archmages in Noland's Council of Seven!
"This is …"
Hiri, who had suffered a strong impact on her life, had forgotten that she was in danger of being kidnapped by the demon. Instead, she looked at the series of inscriptions that appeared in front of Josiah.
Hiri recognized a few of the inscriptions, which meant 'air'. She had just used these inscriptions to build a magic called 'Impact'.
"Periodic table of elements." Josiah said.
"What …?"
"Nothing."
Josiah waved his hand, and the pale white words in front of him disappeared.
From the experiment just now, Josiah confirmed that these inscriptions could be set to only be seen by him, or he could let others see them if he wanted.
But compared to building magic with these things, Josiah found that the nature of inscriptions was surprisingly similar to something he was familiar with.
That was … a computer language.
And it was an advanced version of C language with a language library!
Thinking of this, Josiah, who was a game designer and programmer on Earth, had a bold idea.
Josiah seemed to be able to use these inscriptions to make a system! Anyway, Josiah's memory was now explosive, and Josiah had also worked in Microsoft for a period of time.
After transmigrating, it was okay without a system as a cheat! Josiah could make one himself. Whether it was Win98 or Winxp, Josiah could make them all!
Even though it would take a long time, Josh was confident that he would be able to come up with a simplified version.
Thinking of this, Josiah suddenly realized that magic in this world was such an interesting thing.
"Hiri, are you happy learning magic?"
This new discovery made Josiah ask such a question.
"…"
Happy, very happy. Before meeting Josiah, Hiri would definitely answer like this. After all, her talent in learning magic was one in a million, but …
Looking at the series of magic inscriptions in front of Josiah that she had never seen before, Hiri suddenly had the urge to "learn magic, pack up and go home to get married!"
