“No…”
Although I was a little puzzled by the dean's behavior, her decisiveness in directly removing Yu Hu's memory and cognition still made me feel a bit of the cold-bloodedness of an extraordinary witch, but all this was still within my tolerance.
"Foolish Dreams, I gave them this name. In fact, they are just ordinary creatures that are very common in the endless dream. Even their birth and death may take less than a second in the dream."
"But you brought them out anyway."
"Yes, because they are worthy of my special treatment. I think you should know that."
"It's [Supernormal Knowledge], right?"
"That's right. I tried to separate them, so they became pure foolish dreams and pure nightmares. However, the part of extraordinary knowledge exists in the nightmare part. They are originally one. So if I want to obtain stable [supernatural knowledge], I need foolish dreams to continue to exist safely. So I created this secret realm to provide them with independent bodies, that is, the flower fairy plant, to isolate them in this way between reality and dreams."
"But if they know too much, they will gather together again and become dream creatures. Why do you want to open this secret place to the public, Dean?" I asked curiously.
The dean couldn't have predicted my existence, could he? It was hundreds of years ago, when I wasn't even born in my previous life.
"Originally it was not open to the public, but then I encountered an unreachable bottleneck in the revelation of the spell book. If I follow the routine, it might take me thousands of years to make a breakthrough, so I made it public. After all, miracles will always appear when there are many people. Whenever someone sees some kind of revelation in it, it will be a great boost to my research. Hundreds of years of practice have also proved that my idea is correct. There is no doubt that the Witch Academy is full of talents."
"Then... fewer and fewer people come to the Secret Realm of Yucun..."
"Of course, I did it, but some of it was their own initiative. After all, you students are not even extraordinary students. You are less and less helpful to me, and you are causing me trouble. It is better to hide this secret realm. However, meditation is still very helpful to students, so I didn't completely seal this secret realm. Oh, the so-called meditation is just a part before the completion of the great spell book, but it should be gone now."
"Then...the effect of that big spell book..." I couldn't help but ask out of my curiosity.
"Remember, in the future you'd better not rashly inquire about the effects of other people's spell books. That is the other party's capital for survival and also their foundation. Even if you inquire, you may make enemies with the other party." Hearing my question, the dean immediately educated me in a serious tone.
"Yes! Yes, I'm sorry!" I apologized quickly. I didn't expect this to be so serious...
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. Besides, you are the one who contributed the most core part to this spell book." At this time, the dean changed his previous serious tone and spoke to me gently.
"If you want to know, I will actually tell you." Dean May Lind said as she stretched out her hand and handed something to me.
"This... this is... a spell book? Wait? Ah? Dean, didn't you take her away?" I looked at the familiar spell book in the dean's hand in surprise. Isn't this the culprit that destroyed this secret realm!
"Correction, this is a large spell book, haha, so cute, Xiaohan, wouldn't it be bad to carry such a precious thing with you? And it can't provide me with any combat power, so there's naturally no need for me to take it with me."
"Can't improve combat power?"
"Yes, there are always some spells that are not suitable for combat. I named this big spell book...Great Wisdom Enlightenment."
Chapter 279: Wisdom Enlightenment, the Dean's Trial Mission
"... "
It’s really called this... Although I really want to complain, but the Great Spell Book named this level, so obviously I have no right to complain.
Just as I was thinking this, Dean May Lind suddenly stuffed the big spellbook into my body.
"Alas! Wait!"
Faced with the dean's actions, I couldn't even stop her. She was even considerate enough to put the spell book on my spell bookshelf.
"You're curious about why I did this, right?" The dean's gentle smile remained unchanged at this moment, and his expression seemed to be expecting me to ask "why".
"why?"
"I want to make a deal that won't lose money... oh, or should I say... an investment."
"Invest?" I subconsciously lowered my head. Using a large spell book to invest in me? This doesn't look like an investment that won't lose money, does it?
And I don’t have the ability to keep this thing.
Once this thing is exposed, I might... no, I will definitely be doomed. Thinking about that unlucky guy who disappeared in a flash before, I can't stand even the mental lock of such a being. How can I keep this big book of spells?
"There are other reasons. We will talk about them later. Now, let's do something more meaningful. Do you want to enlighten these foolish dreams? The birth of wisdom and the ability to think are one of the many prerequisites for being defined as life."
"I…"
After being suddenly told this by the dean, I didn’t know what to do. Actually, I wanted to do this, after all, I seemed to have the ability to do so now.
When I first met them, I just thought they were cute and it had nothing to do with me. I naturally wished them well in their efforts. But now such ability is in my hands, and my decision will determine whether their ridiculous efforts are meaningful.
"Of course I will do it..."
"Really? But I heard hesitation in your answer. To be frank, Yumeng and the others are at their most innocent and ignorant stage. If you give them wisdom, they will listen to you. As for... Yuhu, this part of her memory is full of obsession with me. When I decide not to care about them anymore and prepare to give them to you, this obsession will only become a burden to you."
"Wait, Dean, you want to give them to me?"
"It's my plan, but you can choose not to do it. Foolish dreams and wishful thinking are the beginning of many tragedies. I see them as materials, and they see me as a benefactor. It's very troublesome. Are you willing to take over? When they become real lives, whether you use them as slaves or believers to stabilize your faith, it will be a good future plan. You can even use them to make money at this stage."
"this…"
The examples that the dean just mentioned seem very far away from me. My main concern is whether I can take good care of them, and... I don’t know why I should take them in.
If the reason I took them in was just because the dean would get rid of them if I didn't want them, then there's really no need to do that. Judging from the dean's attitude towards Yu Meng, if I said I didn't want them, then the dean might really get rid of them directly.
"Still hesitating? I thought girls would like this kind of cute creature. If you are willing, I can help you give them a new body. I can also customize it."
"Okay." I changed my previous hesitant attitude and nodded in agreement.
Isn't it just to raise these little guys? Seeing the cute little guys every day will make me feel good, and how much can a group of cute little guys who only know how to eat and drink cost me? My money at the moment is all in gold.
"You can't go back on your word, right? Actually, you've made a good point. The Great Wisdom Enlightenment Technique is born out of foolish dreams, so they have the value of becoming real lives. This is derived from the revelation that they possess extraordinary knowledge."
"Uh-huh."
Now I nod my head frantically no matter what the dean says. What the dean says is right. I can't resist anything anyway, so I might as well bear it all and talk about it slowly later.
"Well, it seems like you will just nod your head no matter what I say. Sigh... why don't we talk about something you care about? For example... let's talk about the conditions for giving you the spellbook of Great Wisdom Enlightenment?"
"Really...really giving it to me?"
The dean's words gave me a sudden shock. If the dean had stuffed the spell book into my body before so that I could decide whether to enlighten Yu Meng with wisdom, then of course I could take it away at any time. But now he was telling me to give it to me directly!
This is like wealth pouring down from the sky directly on my head. How can I bear it?
But what followed was horror, because I couldn’t bear this “gift”, not even my counselor, Ms. Ji Niang!
I am so secretive about [Supernormal Knowledge] that I won't tell anyone, let alone the great spell book created by [Supernormal Knowledge].
"Did you miss the word 'conditions' I proposed? This is indeed an investment from me in you, but it is also a deal between you and me, and a... trial mission I prepared for you."
"In the meantime, I can free you from the main world script. I learned from Ji Niang that you don't like the script, right? What do you think? Are you willing to accept this trial mission?" The dean said while observing my expression, and finally threw out a condition that I couldn't refuse!
"catch!"
At this moment, I accepted the promise made by the dean without any hesitation, especially the promise of being able to walk out of the script and not have to worry about being arranged by the script. This temptation was undoubtedly the greatest.
It can be said that the dean immediately found my weakness.
And now... the only thing I need to worry about is the so-called trial mission of the dean. I don’t know what form it takes or what he wants me to do.
"That's right. In exchange for this, I will pass on the Great Wisdom Enlightenment to you, and you need to return me a new copy of [Supernatural Knowledge] and two original spell sequences. If you are confirmed to be completely dead in any way, this great spell book must be returned to the original witch in the Great Library of the Witch World."
"what?"
Faced with this series of requests from the dean, I could only finally ask this soul-stirring question.
"Do you have any questions about the premise of this exchange?"
"Have."
I nodded, I had so many questions!
I admit that exchanging one [Supernatural Knowledge] for a large spell book is definitely a good deal, but... what is the remaining one?
And why is there a mention of the Witch World Library? And the original witch?
My brain is a little overwhelmed with accepting too many settings at once.
"【Supernormal Knowledge】I know. If I die in the future, I can return the Great Spell Book to me. But what is the original spell sequence?"
"You hit the nail on the head. I thought you would accept the great spell book regardless of the consequences. The original spell sequence, these six words should be broken down into three parts. The simplest spell is a spell. Do you know what a sequence is? Do you know the concepts of prototype spells and derived spells?"
"I know." I nodded.
"It's easy if you know that. Prototype spells + derived spells are called a whole spell sequence. Spell sequence also refers to prototype spells. After all, if you have a prototype spell, you can theoretically have all the derived spells in that sequence. But theory is theory. The difficulty of derived spells means that having a prototype spell sequence does not mean having all the derived spells in the spell sequence. For the spell sequence I require, you only need to give me the prototype spells."
"Well, then...what about the original?" I nodded to show that I understood some of it, and asked again.
"Original means the very beginning, the first one. This is easy to understand. For example, the original Fireball spell is the first Fireball spell to be created. The concept of the original and the first one even exceeds the spell effect of the Fireball spell itself."
"This..." After simply understanding this original concept, I didn't think it was simple.
"What? Are you feeling pressured? It seems that you understand the value of the original. Although in theory there is no upper limit to the number of spell types, the thinking of life is limited. The original spell is very precious, and even on par with the great spell to some extent. Even if the effect of that spell is far inferior to that of the great spell, the name and concept of the original spell are enough to be ranked together with the great spell."
"How can I possibly do this?"
At this moment, I regretted it a little. Why did I covet this big spell book? What's the point of getting it in advance? I can't keep it, so I might as well not have it...
"Don't be impatient. At this stage, we are only talking about exchange. We haven't reached the trial stage yet. Can you guess why I entrusted the Yumeng Clan to you?"
"why?"
"The birth of a new race represents the recognition of this life by the void. Any new race born in this world represents the birth of at least two original spell sequences for this race: summoning... and transformation. Do you understand?"
"I understand..."
After the dean said this, I understood. With the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Technique, the dean can easily turn the Yumeng Clan into real life and obtain the two original spells.
She could have done it herself, but she chose to use me to complete it, and gave me this big spell book as a gift.
Together with that piece of [Extraordinary Knowledge], the dean only recovered the cost, without taking into account the cost of losses over hundreds of years.
I made the deal without any investment, just like giving a blank check, and got a big spell book for free.
Even if the investment failed, the Great Spell Book returned to the Witch World and did not leak out, and the Dean also obtained a copy of [Extraordinary Knowledge]. With the Dean's ability and the witches' long lifespan, it would not be a problem for him to obtain another Great Spell Book.
Is this what is called investment?
"Then...what is the meaning of the original spell?" I continued to ask.
The value of this thing can't be... the value of a collection of rare items, right?
If we want some foolish dreams to turn into real life, then what is the meaning and value of spells like foolish dream summoning and foolish dream transformation?
No matter how you look at it, it's not as powerful as a big spell book. Although I still don't know what the difference is between a big spell book and a spell book of the same type, maybe it's more powerful.
"The origin is the meaning. The meaning is given by people. When people understand its value, the concept has meaning. There are too many ways to use concepts. It is precisely because you cannot touch that level that you cannot understand its value. Instead of understanding the original concept, you might as well ask me what the value of the Great Spellbook is."
"What is the value of the Great Spellbook?"
Since the dean has said this, and I still don't understand, I know that what happens next is something I have no right to touch, so I might as well go with the flow and ask this question directly.
After all, I am also curious about the difference between the big spell book and the spell book, and why it attracts so many people to rob it.
"Well... at least I'm explaining this to you, and you should understand it." May Linde said helplessly, holding her forehead. At least she changed the subject, right?
Some things are better understood after you reach the corresponding level, otherwise it will only add to your troubles and increase your mental exhaustion.
"The Great Spell Book represents many meanings. I won't talk about the effects and benefits that are too far away. I will just talk about the effects that you can feel and understand directly. The first point is that the Great Spell Book is more powerful than the Spell Book, or the spells have stronger effects."
I nodded in agreement, indicating that I understood. If the power remained the same, then it would be a shame for its special name. It must be more powerful than ordinary spells.
"Second, the effect of the Great Spell Book. Please note that the effect here is not the same as the spell effect of ordinary spells. Do you understand the difference between spell effects and natural phenomena?"
"clear."
I nodded. It was as if the fireball in the fireball spell was a spell effect. What maintained the fireball was the magic power or elements and other supernatural energies provided by the caster. However, the fireball that rose up as a natural phenomenon had its rise and fall, and was not a supernatural existence defined as a spell effect.
To explain it more clearly, it's like the difference between a clone created by magic and another me created by cloning.
"The effect of the Great Spell Book can also be called a spell effect, but its effect is permanent. Its significance is that it blurs the boundary between spell effects and actual existence."
"This..." After hearing what the dean said, I thought about it for a long time. I can understand this statement, but I am thinking about its meaning.
"Do you have any questions?" The dean asked when he saw that I was hesitant.
"This...actual effect is...Also, permanent existence, does it mean eternal and immortal?"
"Are you curious about the actual effect of the Great Spell Book? What a pragmatic idea! Let me answer your question with an example. Take... the Black Hole Spell of the Million Gods as an example."
"An ordinary black hole spell creates a black hole spell effect. Once the energy supply is cut off, the spell effect will dissipate. If it is a large black hole spell, it will create a long-lasting black hole. Even if you don't maintain this spell, the black hole you created by casting the large black hole spell will still exist. This is its meaning."
"Does it still exist? Did it really create a black hole?" I asked.
"No... the black hole is still a spell effect, so it just blurs the boundary between the spell effect and the actual existence, rather than breaking it."
"But... energy can't be created out of thin air, right?" I am still very confused at this moment.
"Remember those void cracks when the Great Spellbook was created?"
"Oh! Is... is it the void crack that provides energy?!" I reacted quickly.
