"Then, if magic power and authority are different things, and magic power is the energy that supports the operation of magic, then what is authority?"
Lin's question, and from the looks in Halumi and Kaya's eyes, was also the question of the two girls. Fen did not intend to keep them in suspense and directly said, "The so-called authority, in my era, is the right to use words to command everything in the world. Only when you are not qualified enough will you have to pay other prices in exchange. "
This … was really concise to the point that it could not be more concise.
It was like being an official. As long as the official was high enough and had enough power, he could do whatever he wanted with just a command or even a look, and there would naturally be lackeys to do it well without paying any price. If the official was not high enough and did not have enough power, of course he would pay people to do things. The amount of money spent was related to whether the matter was done properly or not.
Since when was playing with magic the same as being an official?
But thinking about it seriously, this was indeed the case. Because for those long-passed down magic spells, although the pronunciation of the spells was difficult to pronounce, when the content was translated into common language, it was nothing more than:
"After listening to my instructions, immediately, or when or if any conditions are met, do it. "If I want you to go east, if you dare to go west, I will teach you a lesson," or something like that.
Of course, in this era, that "I" was no longer "I", so the content was mostly changed to:
"Because someone is very powerful, I use his name as the command, and then sex, sex, sex." The last sentence became: "If I want you to go east, if you dare to go west, I will teach you a lesson," or something like that.
Simply put, after the content of the spell was translated, it was nothing more than command, coercion, temptation, and so on. Strangely, these words could form some kind of pattern, some kind of law, so that later generations could do the same thing by following the pattern.
If you did it, but you did not succeed. Most of the seniors on the path of magic would tell you that this was because you did not have enough magic power and authority, so you had to work harder.
Perhaps in this age, they were referring to a lack of payment, but in the Old Age before the Dark Age, created by Finn, the same was true, only in a different direction.
Now that he thought about it, using magic really did have that kind of flavor.
However, even though what Fen said was understandable, there were still many things that he didn't understand. Forget about the two disciples for now. Their levels were too low, and there was no way for them to think about the underlying factors from the clues they had. Lin naturally asked about the things he didn't understand.
"If we meditate every day, what kind of … um, energy do we accumulate? Something didn't seem right either. Magical power is fine, but what about Authority? "
"What you have accumulated through the meditation rituals of the eight gods, based on my observations during this period of time, should be a medium that possesses the characteristics of Authority and Mana at the same time. Or rather, it should be a mixture of two different, but only similar, powers accumulated in the body. When you use it, it will still be converted into Mana, but there will still be Authority in your body, accumulating bit by bit. "
From a certain point of view, Fen's explanation also explained why the eight gods could not use their Authority to directly set fire to the magicians' bodies after angering them. Just like how the gods dealt with the traitors in the churches, they directly burned the divine power that the traitors borrowed and accumulated from the past prayers. They could only prevent the magicians from accumulating further.
Seeing that Lin was still thinking, Fen added some of her own opinions, saying, "From my point of view, using the meditation rituals to obtain more Authority is much faster and more convenient than in my past age. But shortcuts always come with a price, and what is obtained through the gods will also be controlled by the gods. But the magicians of this age don't seem to care about this. "
"Or rather, everyone's vision is too narrow, and they don't realize that they need to care about such things." Lin smiled bitterly and sighed with emotion. However, there was no need to think too much about it, as Lin now had more questions that he wanted answers to. "Then how do I use the Authority and Mana that you mentioned? Presumably, there will be some differences from the way I cast spells now. "
"There is a difference, but not a big one. There is no such thing as using Authority or not. Once you say it, as long as you are qualified, it will come true. As for Mana, that is, the energy stored in Magic Stones, in the previous age, it was used for fixed magic arrays, runes, and scrolls. For some magic traps and excessively long prayers, it is quite annoying to have to repeat them every time. Therefore, foreign objects will be used to achieve the desired goal easily. This is also why I have the purple one. "
Fen said, while pointing to the 'head coffin' placed to the side. And 'the purple one' was presumably referring to the Purple Change grade Magic Stone placed in the head coffin. "I am very surprised. I have seen Magic Stones and Magic Towers' energy pools. Most of the energy stored inside mimics the eight Authority and maintains a balanced ratio. However, the purple orb contained true authority. If this thing was discovered in the previous age, even the magic props I mentioned before wouldn't be regarded as a good use of the Authority hidden in the Magic Stone, until today. "
"Until today? What do you mean? "
Fen didn't answer immediately, but rather gave Lin a rather profound look, and said: "Programming the eight Authority. The first thing that surprised me was that before this, I always thought that magic arrays, or any spells that had to be cast with foreign objects, could only use converted Mana, and couldn't directly use the Authority. However, the programming language built on the basis of the eight authorities had broken this understanding. The Tower of the Great Sage that you previously remodeled undoubtedly used the eight Authority to drive the magic effects. As for the second thing. "
Fen didn't continue. Instead, she concentrated and chanted an incantation in a low voice.
Although he hadn't seen the Lich cast spells many times, but the few times he had seen her cast spells, she was relaxed and at ease. He had never seen her show such a serious expression. Was she going to cast a large-scale Forbidden Spell?
However, Fen only set up a Water Mirror Screen in front of her and opened the forum. Then, Lin was shocked!
The reason why he was shocked was because Fen didn't use the Browser Magic Stone to build the framework of the program. Instead, she cast the spell from scratch. The complexity of the Browser Magic Stone couldn't be compared to the entry-level Hello World. At the very least, as the creator, he couldn't do something like this.
But Fen didn't stop casting. The sound of the incantation continued, and a second Water Mirror Screen was quickly built. She wasn't doing something as meaningless as opening two forums. Instead, she placed the two Water Mirrors opposite each other. Then, a fingernail-sized ball of light shot out from one Water Mirror and entered the other Water Mirror.
What was she trying to show? Just as this question arose in Lin's mind, he saw the two balls of light follow the same trajectory, shooting out from one side and entering the other. Then, there were three, four, and the more the balls of light there were, the faster they moved. In the end, it was almost impossible to tell the line between the balls. Compared to the original fingernail-sized balls of light, now it was almost like a large block of light was smashing from one side into the other.
Vaguely guessing the magic principle displayed in front of him, the block of light suddenly turned into a ball of light in astonishment, and a new cycle began. Lin was now convinced. He asked in a trembling voice in shock, "This is an infinite loop. How did you do it?"
Before moving into the Tower of the Great Sage, Lin had done a lot of preparations for the computerization of the Magic Tower. After moving in, he had a tower to experiment with. Of course, he had also tried many things that he couldn't do without a tower.
However, in all the research, there was one thing that he had always wanted to do but had no clue. That was the application of his own spellcasting program. All of Lin's spellcasting process was still the same old and confusing. The spell was combined with the hand gestures and the medium of spellcasting to build the spell model that had been passed down since ancient times. After the necessary power was provided, the spell was completed.
Now, Fen had done what he had always wanted to do in front of him. How could he not be surprised? The increasing number of balls of light and the repeating of the same actions were undoubtedly the manifestation of an infinite loop in the program. In the later stage, a large block of light suddenly turned into a ball of light. That was like a recalculation after exceeding the numerical range.
Without waiting for Lin to ask again, Fen said, "This is what surprised me about the second item. Before this, the only way to use power was to recite spells and command everything. However, with the help of the spell model structure of this era and your programming syntax, you can do more things that in the past could only be done with more complicated means. All of this, not to mention the changes that it can bring to the current confusing land, even for me, it is also a great benefit. "
"Oh." It seemed that Fen was in a good mood, so Lin asked shamelessly. "Compared to what surprised you, I'm more interested to know how you did it without the magic stone that stored the program."
Fen smiled faintly. The excitement that had been caused by the praise was instantly calmed down. Fen put on that cynical expression and tone again and said, "After you can truly control power, you can think about this again. Otherwise, all of this will do you more harm than good. "
"Then, what do I have to do in order to truly grasp authority like you said?"
Hearing Lin's question, the two girls' eyes were filled with hope as they pricked up their ears to listen. In response, a certain Lich showed a helpless expression. He shrugged and said, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? Don't tell me this is something that depends on talent again? "Lin complained. The girls also showed a disappointed expression.
