Hearing Roland's words, Alfred asked curiously, "You'd rather have Lesser Benediction than learn about Mystra's Mansion? You're quite talented in spatial spells, and you even know Long-Distance Teleportation. You should be very interested in this spell. "
"Mystra's Mansion is too high-level for me to learn, so I might as well ask for a spell that I can learn." Roland smiled.
In fact, the other reason was that he already had Mystra's Mansion.
Thanks to Schuck, he had gotten it from the Grand Library of Light and saved it as a photo.
Also, this spell, known as the strongest escape and survival spell, wasn't very meaningful to him.
If he weren't a player but a native of this world with only one life, he would've been very interested in this spell.
However, players could be resurrected after death, and while they would lose a lot of experience and even equipment, those were just worldly possessions. Everything was easy as long as they could live.
So, Mystra's Mansion wasn't so urgent for him.
Even though he had the spell model, he wasn't in a hurry to learn it.
Lesser Benediction, on the other hand, was more practical for him at his current level. If he could learn it, it could provide a lot of magic ideas and experience to enrich his database.
"You're very self-disciplined." The Great Elder looked at Roland in satisfaction. "I wasn't even half as good as you when I was at your level. The Red Magic Tower does have the spell model of Lesser Benediction, but few people have learned it … After all, most of us here major in evocation, and prophecy spells are still quite difficult for us. "
He paused for a moment. "If you want someone to teach you, you'll have to go to that old woman Circe. She's an evocation and prophecy master. However, she's very naughty and hates young men, so it'll be very difficult for her to teach you. "
"Actually, I think I can learn it on my own." Roland smiled.
"Young people should have some confidence." The Great Elder nodded in agreement. "Then try it yourself first. If you really can't learn it, don't be stubborn. Come to me, and I'll find a way to ask Circe to teach you."
"Thank you, Great Elder."
"You can go and take a rest." The Great Elder waved his hand and said, "I'll have the spell model delivered to your manor."
Roland bowed slightly to the Great Elder and left.
When he returned to the manor, he didn't find the cat girl playing in the garden. She must've gone out to play again.
Now that everybody in the Red Magic Tower knew that Roland was back, those who spied on the catgirl stopped thinking about it.
The catgirl, who had a natural instinct for danger, immediately sensed that the 'environment' was better, and she began to run around again.
Roland had no objections to this.
Personally, he didn't care too much about the catgirl. He considered her an acquaintance, but not a good friend.
The other party was temporarily staying in his house, and could be considered as half a guest … That was probably how it felt.
He studied magic in the manor for half a day, and then a Mage delivered the spell model to him.
Benediction was a level-three spell.
But this was only the casting level. In terms of learning difficulty, prophecy magic was actually two levels higher than normal magic. In other words, wishing was about the difficulty of learning a level-five spell.
It was also the reason why few people in the Red Magic Tower knew Lesser Benediction.
For these violent maniacs who would blow up at the slightest disagreement, the difficulty was too high.
Spreading the thick blueprint of the spell model on the desk, Roland felt that his head was dizzy as he looked at the dense magic nodes on it.
Not only were there a lot of nodes, but many of them were represented by "shadows."
It was a special symbol to indicate that the specific function of the node was unknown. It was even unknown whether or not it was needed and could be used.
"This is troublesome."
Although his head was dizzy after he looked at it, Roland held back his thoughts and slowly began to analyze the nodes on it.
Roland looked at it carefully, quite seriously.
His mind was completely devoted to the world of data. Time meant nothing to him.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye under such circumstances.
Half a day passed quickly. Roland had finished analyzing all the data nodes. Then, he felt that something was wrong.
Lesser Benediction had many nodes that overlapped with those of Language Proficiency.
His sense of deja vu was getting stronger and stronger.
After recalling for a while, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly retrieved the elven spell, Blossom Acceleration, from the memo that came with the system.
He converted the circle nodes into the nodes of the human spell model and compared them.
Then, Roland found that a small part of the nodes of Lesser Benediction overlapped with Blossom Acceleration, and a small part of the nodes of Language Proficiency too.
To be more precise, the three divination spells shared a special core node.
That was interesting.
Roland imported the data into the database and ran calculations and deductions for four hours. Then, he came to a conclusion that even he found hard to believe.
These three spells of divination were the different results of the same "core" that had been expanded.
To put it more simply, their seeds were exactly the same.
It was just that they grew different things.
What was even more amazing was that, according to Roland's calculation, none of the three divination spells had to pass through the core node.
As a result, the core node was not noticed by other people.
Even if people saw it, they would treat it as useless nodes.
Roland estimated that few people could figure out the secrets of the special nodes like him.
If he could understand the functions of the core nodes, would he be able to add or compile other nodes on the core nodes like a programmer in order to create a new divination spell?
It was exciting to think about it.
Roland had thought that Lesser Benediction would be hard to learn. After all, Language Proficiency left a deep impression on him.
Also, Blossom Acceleration was very difficult to learn.
But now, he found that Lesser Benediction wasn't difficult, at least not for him.
It was probably because he had deciphered the spell model of Language Proficiency on his own without borrowing anyone else's help. Then, he learned how to make magic swords. After all, this skill was also related to divination spells. Many magic swords were based on divination spells.
On the other hand, the learning of magic and the making of magic swords provided Roland with a lot of data.
He imported the data into the database, deduced and compared them, and applied them to the spell model of Lesser Benediction. Soon, Roland understood the functions of most of the nodes of Lesser Benediction.
Except for the small "core."
Now that he understood it, Roland could already use Lesser Benediction.
Then, he did a well-known experiment in the world of Mages.
He slightly closed his hands and activated Lesser Benediction. White light beamed out of his palms.
"I need drinkable water."
After saying that, Roland immediately opened his Magic Shield.
Then, he waited in silence.
About twenty minutes later, the catgirl suddenly appeared at the window. She squatted and said to Roland excitedly, "Master, look, I bought you a cup of fruit tea. It's delicious. The moment I drank it, I wanted to give it to you, Master. Master, I'm nice to you, right? "
Roland looked at Marilyn and then at the jar in her hand.
He was relieved.
Both the Lesser Benediction Spell and the Greater Benediction Spell had a small flaw. That was, when Xu Luo's wish was ambiguous or not clear enough, it would fulfill his wish as soon as possible in a reasonable way.
For example, Roland's "I want drinkable water" could lead to a lot of results, and the catgirl returning with the fruit tea was just one of them.
If Roland dared to make such a wish in the wild, chances were that a bison would pass by, pee on him, and then leave.
The pee was the result of Benediction.
Drinkable water … counted as cow's pee.
After all, the people of a certain country were particularly fond of it.
If they didn't drink cow's pee for one day, they would be spiritless for three days. You couldn't say that Benediction was wrong.
You could only blame yourself for making a wish that was too ambiguous.
That was why Roland opened his Magic Shield just now.
He was scared that he would run into fatal situations.
The correct way to make a wish was to describe one's wish in a straightforward, intuitive, and clear language before the Wishing Spell lost its effect.
For example, "I want a glass of harmless clean water."
That would be much better. Although the way to get it wasn't certain, it could at least ensure that the water you drank was clean.
Another minor drawback of Benediction was that you couldn't add the way and process of getting the "result" to your wish.
That was, you couldn't describe the variable "cause."
You could only describe the features and effects of the "result."
For example, you couldn't wish for the angel Nia to bring me a glass of clean water.
That was impossible. You could only say, "I need someone to bring me a glass of water."
Even the Grand Benediction Spell couldn't describe the "cause."
Lastly, the effect of Benediction wasn't instantaneous. It took time for magic power to construct and find the right "cause."
It could only do it as quickly as possible.
It was like when you were dying of thirst in the desert and wished for clean water.
If there was no water source nearby, then the Wishing Spell would expand its range and use a mysterious effect to urge a person or animal far away, for some reason, to coincidentally walk to the Wishing Person's side and bring him clean water.
But the problem was … there was no telling if the wisher could survive in the desert until someone brought clean water to save him.
Therefore, both Grand Benediction and Lesser Benediction were very taboo to make wishes that didn't fit the environment or the common sense of society.
Because you didn't know when the wish would come true.
Also, Benediction had a time limit. If the wish couldn't be achieved in three months, it would automatically disappear because of the dissipation of magic power.
Roland took the fruit tea that the catgirl gave him and had a cup.
He was considering what wish to test next.
Very soon, he had an idea. He reactivated Lesser Benediction and said, "I want to pick up ten gold coins."
The catgirl looked at Roland, trying to laugh but not daring to. In the end, she pursed her lips and said in a strange tone, "Master, have you become an idiot?"
