Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 79 New Magic (Second Update)
The essence of combustion is a common elemental reaction, involving an exothermic reaction between the fire element and a combustible element, usually accompanied by the generation of flames, light and/or smoke. The exothermic reaction is the process by which the fire element converts all the convertible parts of the combustible element into fire elements and releases them into the air.

When I knew the nature of burning, burning was no longer mysterious to me, and I naturally could not comprehend witchcraft from burning.

However, once we understand the nature of combustion, more questions will arise.

Why, why can the fire element only produce exothermic reactions with combustible elements?

What is the difference between non-combustible elements and combustible elements?
Why is combustion accompanied by flames, light, and/or smoke, but not by thunder, lightning, and strong winds?
Why must the end product of an exothermic reaction be the element fire and not other elements?
The rules of the world are not as simple as 1+1=2, but an extremely ingenious nesting doll structure - the rules that constitute the rules of the world are also the rules of the world!
If I compare the rules of the world that I have learned to a black circle drawn on white paper.

The part inside the circle is the world rules that I have mastered, and the part outside the circle is the world rules that I have not yet mastered.

As I learn and research, the black circle will gradually become larger, and the circle will be able to touch more and more white parts!
The known and the unknown do not conflict.

When one unknown is solved, the known will give rise to more unknowns!
Witchcraft should not be an obstacle to magic, but a guiding light for the next step of magic research!

Even if one day the black circle fills the entire white paper, there will be a space larger than the white paper to guide the circle to break through the constraints of the white paper and continue to grow. "

The flames burned quietly on the wood and had already burned Richard's fingers.

Richard took a deep breath and focused his eyes on the flames.

Its elemental vision suddenly opened up, and it saw through the surface of the flame like a microscope, entering the microscopic world of the flame.

Clusters of tiny fire elements kept floating in the extremely small space.

Hidden within this seemingly ordinary flame is a fire elemental amusement park.

A huge colorful arch made of wooden elements is hung with colorful flags, and flames are burning on the flags, attracting fire elements to gather towards the arch!

The emerald green grass element was swallowed by the fire element and transformed into energy that rushed around in the fire element's stomach.

Dozens of fire elements held hands and formed a circle, circling continuously, like a never-ending merry-go-round.

The fire element's laughter was like a clear silver bell, rushing into the sky and hitting the flaming roller coaster hanging upside down in the sky, causing a violent explosion.

Amidst flying sparks, the fire elements screamed and laughed as they slid down the giant water slide in the air and rushed into the rapids of the rafting river, turning the colorless pool water into a sea of ​​fire!
There is also a fun pool for children, and each project allows people to enjoy coolness and happiness.

This is an ocean of fire element. Grass element, wood element, air element, water element... all elements must give way to fire element, making it the only protagonist in the amusement park!
In this fantastic microscopic world, Richard has too many doubts.

What are elements made of? Are they living or non-living? Why can elements form groups in regular patterns or scatter in irregular patterns?
What controls them and why do they act?
When the flame burns the water element, why is it that the water element and the fire element do not cancel each other out, but instead the fire element transforms the water element into a sea of ​​fire?
Can this microscopic world in the flame be materialized into reality as a natural phenomenon?

Unknown, unknown, all unknown!
Richard had too many things he didn't know, and too many things he wanted to know. Many complicated thoughts gathered in Richard's mind, and he could feel that a mysterious force was descending from the void!

"This...what is this?"

Richard looked into the depths of his soul in shock.

A giant flaming dragon that blocked out the sky and the sun suddenly appeared out of nowhere outside of his soul.

It hovered freely outside his soul, emitting endless pressure, which made Richard afraid.

Richard could vaguely realize that this gigantic fire dragon represented an absurdly powerful world rule.

Oh no, I think I messed up something and made a big mess!
What is this thing? It seems to be trying to get into my soul.

My god, one of his teeth is bigger than my entire soul.

Boom!

At this moment, the giant fire dragon opened its mouth and spit a ball of flame onto Richard's soul, forcibly opening a small hole in Richard's soul.

At this moment, countless world rules that were much smaller than the dragon came running from all directions.

Some of them look like rabbits on fire, some look like three-headed snakes with flames burning, and some look like strange flying dragons with flames on their tails.

The images of these small world rules have no meaning and can change at any time. The only reference value is their size.

The bigger the body, the stronger the rules.

They came from all directions, all pushing into the torn gap in his soul.

Everyone was crowding, so no one could move. So the road leading to Richard's soul was firmly blocked by these small world rules.

They could not get in, and the entrance could not be closed.

However, those balls of blazing flames were still burning on those small laws, burning Richard's soul!

"Hiss! No! It's too big, too much, and too hot."

Is this what it feels like to be favored by the rules of the world?"

Richard covered his head in pain. His head ached, his skin was red, and when he opened his mouth, flames almost came out of his tongue.

A burning and scorching feeling filled his whole body, along with a slightly comfortable feeling.

Richard had a premonition that if he continued to accept the gifts from the rules of the world, his soul would surely burst.

No, you can't accept them all.

Let alone the super huge world rules, even those small rules crowded at the intersection are not something I can bear. There are three thousand rivers, I can only take a scoop, greed will kill you!

Richard used his soul to scan the small animals crowded in the wound of his soul, and quickly fished out a flaming kitten.

Boom!
As the flaming kitten was brought into Richard's soul, his soul suddenly made a roar!
A ripple emerged out of nowhere from the depths of his soul, sweeping away all the rules of the world that tried to enter his soul. Even the enormous fire dragon in the sky was flung away more than ten meters.

At the same time, the wound on Richard's body burned by the flames healed incredibly quickly and soon disappeared.

Chila~ The cat burning with flames melted into Richard's body.

At the same time, a new magic emerged in Richard's mind:

Sacrificial Fire

Level 1 / Witchcraft / Fire / Mana Cost 2
Effect: Select a unit and deal [15 + (20 × Spell Power)] points of Fire damage to it after 20 minutes.

If the target dies due to this magic, an explosion will occur around the target's body, causing equal damage to all units in a small range around it (regardless of friend or foe).

If an additional friendly unit is selected as a sacrifice to release this magic, damage will be dealt immediately instead. 】

Richard was quite surprised.

“This… this seems to be the witchcraft bestowed upon me by the flammability rule!
A level 1 magic with a basic damage of 20 points and a 20-fold spell power bonus.

This is the panel data of level 3 magic! The damage of level magic appears on level magic, which is too awesome.

The only inconvenience of this high damage value is that it takes five turns to take effect. This inconvenience can be avoided by sacrificing our own units.

It doesn’t make sense.”

Richard compared it with the first-level magic he had developed and immediately found it outrageous.

"Comparing people to each other is a crime, and comparing goods to each other is a crime. This witchcraft is too powerful, unreasonably powerful.

No wonder there is a market for wizards. Anyone who is gifted with this thing for no apparent reason would be extremely happy.

But compared to this magic, what surprised me most was that my idea was feasible.

I can actually gain witchcraft by studying the unknowns that come with known magic.

When I have fully understood the rules of flammability, I will obtain a spell related to the rules of flammability.

Although I will lose the magic of [Sacrificial Fire] because of my understanding of the flammability rules, after understanding the flammability rules, I will find rules that need to be studied in depth, so that I can obtain stronger witchcraft.

In this way, if you find a rule of the world and study it to death, you can start with witchcraft and then spells, spiral upward until you reach the true truth.

It's so powerful! This is the correct way to practice both witchcraft and magic."

Richard felt that after he had just comprehended the magic, his soul was in a state of disorder. He could not comprehend the next witchcraft immediately and needed to wait for a while.

But the smile on his lips never faded for a moment.

Winter is here, can spring be far behind?

Once you find the right path, a bright future will come sooner or later.

Five minutes later, Richard, who had successfully switched the magic, couldn't wait to lick his tongue.

"Well, it's time to go to the forest and test out the power of our new magic."

Richard licked his lips with a grim look.

He had just moved around in the forest for a few seconds when he heard a melodious chirping sound coming from afar.

Ouch...

Richard's ears stood up instantly.

"That cry is from the Timberwolves!"
