Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 15 Original Sub-body

Wayne tidied up the things on the table and took out the leftover black bread to fill his stomach.

The González language he learned in a whole afternoon wasn't just for show.

Now is the time to test his learning outcomes!

There are four parchment scrolls in total: "Basic Theory of Spells and Detailed Explanation of Level Zero Spells", "Introduction to Potions - Basic Theory of Potions", "Materials Science (Apprentice Edition)" and "Potion Recipes (Apprentice Edition)".

According to the instructions on the exchange list, "Basic Theory of Spells and Detailed Explanation of Level Zero Spells" introduces the basic theory of spells, as well as the four Level Zero spells of the Ghost School.

The other three volumes are related to potion-making: one is a study of basic theories, another is about the basic materials commonly used in potion-making, and the last volume contains the recipes for five basic potions.

Wayne first found the book "Basic Theories of Spells and Detailed Explanation of Level Zero Spells" and began to study it.

Although his mental level was sufficient, the Apprenticeship Administration's advice was not without merit.

Potions mastery is not something that can be achieved overnight, and his most important task at present is to improve his strength.

Especially now that he has passed the Secret Service's interview and become an investigator, his chances of facing danger directly have undoubtedly increased significantly.

In addition, there's what Lacey mentioned today about the high mortality rate of new recruits' first cases...

After careful consideration, Wayne decided to learn a few spells to protect himself, which would at least improve his strength.

Then he opened the roll of parchment.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time.

Well, it might also be related to the fact that he used his mental power to wrap his hands and open the parchment.

Wayne looked at the Gonzálezian text on the parchment as if it were a universal language, reading it without any difficulty.

"Different schools of thought have different understandings of magic."

"The common understanding is that magic is based on spiritual power, which activates magical runes and calls upon the 'power of the world' to form an energy attack."

"And each school of thought has a different understanding of 'world power'."

"The Blood Spirit School believes that 'world power' is water, and compares the body to a pool of water, with the amount of energy generated depending on the size of the pool."

"The wizards of the mechanical school believe that the 'power of the world' is mechanical knowledge. The more knowledge they accumulate, the more powerful the machines they create, and the stronger they themselves become."

"The Mystic School believes that 'World Power' is the fundamental law governing this world. The stronger the wizards' laws, the stronger the 'World Power' they can invoke."

"As for the Shadow School... their theories are too peculiar to mention."

"And our Ghost School's magical theories are the most unique compared to other schools!"

Seeing this, Wayne's red eyes shone even brighter.

"All of the Ghost's spells are based on the Soul Devouring Technique; more precisely, they are 'primordial offspring' derived from this technique!"

Original sub-body?

He looked up and glanced at the "Little Axis". So that's what they were called?

Seeing their puzzled looks, Wayne curled his lip and said, "What are you looking at? Keep meditating and don't even think about slacking off."

He gives off a Zhou Bapi vibe...

Upon hearing this, the little boys exchanged glances and began to swallow even more diligently.

"The 'Primal Sub-Body' is the foundation of the Ghost School's magic, but limited by the strength of the Primal, most wizards of this school only have one Primal Sub-Body throughout their lives..."

Wayne's body trembled. Was this the secret of the origin?

Can a person with a powerful origin possess multiple origin sub-bodies?

If his current source strength is 4, doesn't that mean he can have four sub-bodies?

"Of course, some wizards are exceptionally gifted, possessing powerful innate abilities and multiple 'sub-bodies.' This makes them the best of the ghost wizards, even legendary figures across the entire continent."

"The Ghostly Realm founded its school of thought based on the 'Primal Sub-Body,' and it also gained fame across various continents because of the 'Primal Sub-Body.' So, how does one use the 'Primal Sub-Body' to complete spells...?"

"It's actually quite simple: strengthen a single 'primordial sub-body'!"

strengthen?

How to strengthen it?

Wei En suppressed his doubts and continued reading.

"The school calls it the 'Spell System.' It is a spell aggregation system built around the 'Primal Subbody,' combining the theories of the Mystic School, the Blood Spirit School, and the Mechanical School."

"Here we must mention the division of the 'spell system' within the school."

"Based on the different rune imprints on the 'Original Subbody', they can be roughly divided into three directions. The first is the necromancy system, which inscribes the undead summoning imprint on the 'Original Subbody'."

"Secondly, there is the general spell system, which includes elements, physical modification, or mechanical enhancement, etc., and the corresponding rune imprints are inscribed accordingly."

"Thirdly, there is the secret art system. This system... requires the cooperation of multiple 'original sub-bodies'. The more sub-bodies there are, the more comprehensive the spell system will be."

"It is precisely the existence of these three directions that has led to the diverse development of wizards within the school. As a result, in most cases, our school is attacked by wizarding schools including the mystical, mechanical, and blood-spirit schools."

"Because they suspect we stole their magical system... The answer is obvious: why do something thankless when there's something readily available to learn?"

Wayne: "..."

Only a ghost could describe robbery in such a fresh and unconventional way.

At the same time, he also understood the principles of the Ghost School's spell system.

The process involves imprinting runes into the original sub-body, namely "Little Axi," and then using other methods to ultimately form its own magic system.

For Wayne, making a choice was not difficult.

He possesses multiple primordial sub-bodies and is definitely heading towards more and stronger arcane systems. Only someone with a screw loose would choose another spell system.

"Um?"

Just as Wei En was about to continue learning level zero spells, he felt that his body had reached its limit.

Exhausted, both physically and mentally exhausted!

Wayne rubbed his head, but it didn't help at all; his eyelids just felt heavier and heavier...

This forced him to stop learning.

"It's a pity I didn't complete the spell inscription... Why am I so exhausted?"

Perhaps it is related to the "lost secret" that was discovered.

The distant past and the secrets lost in the slumber of the ancient gods weighed heavily on him.

The other two parchment volumes, "Gonzare (Introduction)" and "Basic Theory of Spells and Detailed Explanation of Rank Zero Spells," are for further study...

While it brought him a huge boost, it also took a lot of his energy.

Perhaps... we should also add that disgusting "divine voice".

With that thought in mind, he struggled to climb into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the two "little rascals" looked at each other, pouted in unison, and then turned their faces to the other side.

"Reese."

"dad!"

"Apu..."
