In the tens of thousands of years before the emergence of the ancestor, humans already had quite systematic knowledge of magic, but at that time, magic was cast with magic circles and spells - which was what people later called "the second path of magic practice". Such magic casting methods were complex and obscure, and it took a long time to learn, and there were many restrictions on casting, and someone needed to protect them... The Yuanbeast would not wait for someone to finish chanting the spell before attacking.

The reason why the ancestor is called the ancestor is not only because he led the human race to resist the oppression of the Yuan beast and successfully opened up a territory belonging to humans. It is more because he discovered elemental affinity and created a magic trick that can be cast without formations and spells. The magic tricks cast are more flexible and powerful - the "first way of magic tricks".

This method of casting magic allows humans to avoid being at a disadvantage when facing powerful primordial beasts, which is the basis for humans to resist the exploitation of primordial beasts to grow.

However, that path is a "talent path" that only a very small number of people can take, so the "second path of magic" that adapts to most people has not been completely eliminated and has been preserved to this day.

Therefore, formations and spells actually have a longer history than the first path of magic.

The longer the history is, the more things future generations need to learn.

Just a book called "Introduction to Formation" is as thick as a dictionary, and the book can even cover a whole table after opening it.

Scotland opened the first page of the book and started reading with relish.

According to the usage method, magic arrays can be divided into two types. One is the active type that requires mental power to control the operation. This type of magic array is very widely used, and the magic array used when casting magic is this type of magic array. The other is the automatic type that can operate on its own without human control. This type of magic array mostly appears in some shield scrolls, or some large arrays used to protect a region.

However, even an automatic magic array requires mental power to be opened or closed, so the primary condition for using magic array is to have mental power, and the mental power cannot be too weak.

This is nothing for Scotland, his mental power has long reached the standard of contacting formations.

The appearance of a magic array is mostly regular graphics, such as circles and stars, and is filled with text or images related to the function of the magic array... Such a magic array is actually not difficult to draw, because the important thing about the magic array is not the appearance, but the material for the production.

The materials of the magic array are all kinds. You can use paints made of animal blood and medicinal materials, or you can use specially refined array stones or array flags to arrange them. The former needs to be drawn on special materials such as Yuan animal skins and can be activated instantly, but there are generally restrictions on the number of uses. The latter has no restrictions on the number of uses, and can be arranged anywhere. However, after the arrangement is completed, it takes a certain amount of time to connect the points where each array flag is located before the magic array can be activated.

The defensive scroll given to Xiao Yuer by Elder Yang Tie Nu was made of special paint on Yuan animal skins. The same is true for the single-person teleportation scroll given to Scotland by Yamei. In fact, even the magic circle on the space container was made like this.

But Scotland has never seen the second formation made of formation stones and formation flags.

However, there are countless magic array production books in the big black ball, and there are countless materials in the Scottish necklace. As long as you remember the production method, whether it is magic array or the Stone Array flag, it is quite easy to make for Scotland.

Magic requires magic array to be activated, but magic arrays are not only used for magic. In addition to space containers and various scrolls, magic arrays have the biggest use of them is to refine corpses. Magic arrays can add a lot of functions to the corpses. Generally speaking, magic arrays are engraved on the corpses, and the number of magic arrays directly affects the level of the corpses.

Many people with elemental affinity are also learning formations because of their powerful and practical functions.

What made Scotland care about was an opinion next to the book;

"Learning formation knowledge is like learning language and characters. All you need to memorize is some basic knowledge. If you want to form a good sentence, you need to consider and match it yourself. If you want to form a better magic array, you also need to flexibly use the knowledge you learned. You just blindly imitate other people's magic arrays and cannot achieve great success - Shi Tiancheng."

Who is Shi Tiancheng? Is there an elder in the academy?

Scotland secretly wrote down the name.

The books inside the Big Black Ball are not allowed to be taken out, so Scotland could only sit there and read them.

The inside of the big black ball is extremely quiet. The occasional people who appear read their own books and do not disturb each other. It is an environment suitable for learning and thinking. Scotland is reading the books and his brain is running rapidly. The more things he learns, the more obsessed he becomes. He has forgotten his external affairs. He drinks a sip of water when he is thirsty, and takes out some dry food from his necklace to satisfy his hunger.

When Scotland closed the book in his hand, he felt a burst of fatigue coming from his body, but his brain was still extremely excited.

A thick layer of dry food debris was piled up on the ground, and a small pile of bottles used to hold water next to it. Only then did Scotland realize that he had been staying inside the big black ball for a long time.

Staying in the big black ball without sunlight, you can't feel the flow of time at all.

Xiaoyuer and Hei Niu don’t know what happened.

He quickly stood up, but almost stood firm and fell to the ground. He maintained a position for a long time, and his thighs were already sore and numb. He could only hold the crystal frame next to him. After his legs recovered and could control him, he slowly walked towards the exit of the big black ball.

It was still afternoon outside, but it was a little later than when he came in.

How long have you been in?

He walked out of the passage and saw the black cow and the little fish still sitting on the chair in the reading area, so he walked towards them.

"Gran, you are back, are we leaving?" Xiaoyuer put down the book in her hand and asked looking at Scotland.

"Let you wait for a long time." Scotland said apologetically.

"Long time? Not long." Xiaoyuer glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said with a puzzled look, "It's only been less than three hours."

"Three hours?!"

On the way here, Scotland roughly estimated the time he stayed in the big black ball from the water and dry food he consumed... He had been in it for at least three days.

Moreover, he just studied and did not do anything else, and his physical strength was not much, so the time calculated from dry food would be less and not much.

However, now after hearing what Xiao Yuer said, it has only been less than three hours?

Is the time flow inside the black ball different from that outside?
