Ten days later, Ryuga once again came to the teaching building of the [Modern Magic Course] and found Ermero II.
After all the questions about magic that had accumulated over the past few days were all answered, Ryuga asked him one last question.
"Magic that replays past memories in one's mind?"
Ermero II raised his eyebrows. "It's easy to learn this kind of magic. Although it's simple, you still need to build a magic base. So, I suggest you make a magic engraving first, or inherit a branch of the engraving."
Magic engraving had a variety of functions. Not only could it be used as a fixed mystery to pass on to one's descendants, but the engraving itself was also a fixed magic base.
The so-called [Magic Base] referred to a system that was engraved in the world in advance. Only through this system could magicians use all kinds of spells.
For example, if magic was compared to electricity, then the [Magic Base] was the various apps on a mobile phone. Only through these apps could the mobile phone display all kinds of functions.
Magicians used the magic circuit to extract mana and inject it into the magic base plate. Through actions such as chanting, they could activate the spells within the magic base plate. This was the entire process of a magician activating a magic spell.
Without the magic base, every time a magician used a magic base, they would have to build it from scratch. It would take a long time to prepare, and if they didn't store it immediately after using it, the base would be scrapped on the spot. It wasn't worth it.
The [Magic Engraving] had the same effect as the [Magic Base]. Under the condition that the magic base was prepared in advance, magicians only needed to inject magic into it to be able to activate magic at an extremely fast speed.
"I understand. Thank you, teacher."
Ryuga nodded to thank Ermero II and then left the building of the [Modern Magic Course].
Although she met a few students of the [Modern Magic Course] along the way, Ryuga only nodded to them and didn't have much interaction with them.
"Magic Engraving … In terms of efficiency, it's better to find a branch."
Ryuga thought. "But the type of engraving I want is very rare even in the Clock Tower, and it's best if it's a solo magician's engraving."
The production of magic seals was very tedious.
The initial Magic Engraving was mainly done by burying fragments of Fantasy Breed or Magic Attire that no longer existed in the body. After a long period of adaptation, the Magic Engraving would be created. However, burying a foreign object in the body would result in a strong rejection reaction. Furthermore, this rejection reaction would probably last for several generations, which was close to a hundred years. If one was not careful, they would die. Not only would it take too much time, but the gains would not make up for the losses.
Therefore, almost no one would use this primitive method anymore. Instead, they would obtain the [Branch Plant] from famous families.
A part of the magic seal of a large family was separated and given to a small family to establish a new magic seal. This part of the seal was called the [Branch], and the magic seal that separated the Branch was called the [Source Seal].
Although the [Origin Flow Seal] that was separated from the branch would suffer some damage, it could be restored to its original state after a year or so with a [Mediator].
This was also the most common practice in the magic world. A small family would rely on a large family, and the large family would use this to develop branches and expand their power. Both sides would hit it off.
This was the main reason why those large families could have so many branches and form such a powerful family.
Among magicians, the loyalty relationship formed by the magic seal was the most reliable. As long as it was a family that obtained the [Branch Plant], all of them would gather around the [Source Seal] family and form a strong cohesive force.
However, in other words, the loyalty of such a family was completely based on the [Source Seal]. Once the [Source Seal] was damaged or destroyed, the family would fall apart in an instant.
For example, the Ermero Faction that Monarch Ermero II was in.
Before the [Source Seal] was destroyed, the Ermero Faction was strong enough to be ranked fourth in the Clock Tower. It was only below the legendary three noble families.
However, since the [Source Seal] was destroyed ten years ago, the power of the Ermero Faction had been declining day by day. Today, ten years later, they could only barely maintain the position of the monarch. Their ranking in the Clock Tower had long fallen to the lowest of the twelfth place. Even so, they were still stronger than many families that couldn't even squeeze into the ranking.
What was important to note was that although the [Branch Plant] was separated from the [Source Flow Seal], the [Source Flow Seal] did not have any control over the [Branch Plant]. What was separated from the [Source Flow Seal] was their own, and there was no possibility of it being controlled by the [Source Flow Seal].
The reason why they could establish a unique loyalty was only because the path to the [Source Seal] was the same. When the path to the [Source Seal] was the same, the branch family would naturally obey the will of the main family.
In view of this, Ryuga planned to find a magician and get a [Branch Plant] from him.
The reason why he didn't directly seize the [Source Seal] was because there was a 90% chance that there would be a rejection reaction. Although it wouldn't hurt his body, it would undoubtedly affect the original function of the seal, causing him to be unable to smoothly activate the magic.
It was like transplanting an organ into the body. In the situation where the organ rejected your body, could you still expect it to work well?
However, if he went to find a big family, not to mention whether he would be chosen by the other party, even if he was chosen, he would need to join the other party's family. Even if it was only a temporary and fake joining, with his identity as a 'Death Apostle,' he would definitely be taken by the other party. The other party would definitely request for one or two limbs or organs.
This was something Ryuga couldn't accept. He wasn't a Death Apostle, he was a ghost. As a 'Death Apostle' who entered the Clock Tower, he was already surrounded by a lot of trouble. Once this matter was exposed, the trouble would be even bigger. It wouldn't be good for him to focus on learning magic.
Moreover, whether it was the [Branch Plant] obtained from a solo magician or from a big family, they were all essentially [Branch Plants]. When it was obtained, it was in the state of an 'embryo'. There was no difference in size, so there was no difference in using it.
Since this was the case, Ryuga was more inclined to find a solo magician and get the [Branch Plant] from the other party's magic seal. It would be easier this way.
However, he didn't have any connections in the Clock Tower. To find a solo magician who was suitable for him, he still needed to go through people who were more well-informed.
In view of this, that night, Ryuga went to a television station in downtown London for the second time.
When Mario saw him, the expression on his face suddenly became very interesting.
