Chapter 008: Spell Modeling

These words struck Roland like a bolt of lightning, rendering him momentarily rigid, and then, as if enlightened by a sudden revelation, his mind became clear and illuminated.

He picked up a stick from the ground and began to draw node section diagrams in the mud, creating four illustrations in total. After gazing intently for a while, he numbered each node. His expression first showed joy, then turned silent, and finally became one of anger.

It is a very strange feeling; when one is weak, it seems as if everything is veiled by a thin layer of gauze. Once the state of weakness ends, not only is the gauze gone, but everything also appears to have a bright and clear quality, as if illuminated by a highlighter.

Now Roland is very grateful to those villagers. This thatched house, if he were to build it himself, would take at least more than a day, but with the help of more than ten people working together, it was surprisingly completed in just over an hour

The numerous failures, more than ten times, not only taught Roland how to initially harness magical power but also made him understand the relationship between the nodes. However, the problem lies in the fact that there are too many magical nodes, and it is quite difficult to control the flow of magical energy between them, which renders magic full of uncertainties

I now understand what magic is

Roland extended his hand towards the *picture* book, and before long, a small pale red orb appeared on his palm, translucent in nature, looking exceedingly beautiful

The situation afterward was the same as the first time using the language comprehension tool; the red line vibrated for a while before breaking. However, this time the situation was much better than the last; Roland's head did not explode, and he was alive and well, though his head was a bit sore

The plates for the Liansheng dishes are all made of wood, which gives one an idea of how low the living standards of ordinary civilians in this world have become. For Roland to have a balanced lunch is already the utmost effort of the elders of three children.

When a person feels comfortable in their body, their mood naturally follows suit. Roland looked around with great interest at the thatched cottage that now belonged to him. The entire house is approximately 30 square meters, and aside from a few wooden beams that support the structure, the rest is filled with thatch, with even the floor covered in a thick layer of thatch.

Although Falken intended to leave, his voice still faintly echoed from a distance

Proficient in languages (Level 2 Magic)

Roland sighed and said, "There are too many nodes of magic; even if one understands how to wield magical power, it is impossible to remember them all. Moreover, different nodes seem to produce different magical effects"

A novice mage is required to recite incantations

Mage Hand (Level 1 Spell)

Are all the golden children such monsters?

Falken turned around and walked out; he did not want to stay here. The thing that mediocre individuals fear the most is witnessing the flourishing of a genius, as it evokes feelings of jealousy in them. In the doctrine of the goddess of life, jealousy is considered a grave sin

After taking a deep breath, Roland began to invoke the Fireball spell. Just like when he used the Language Comprehension ability, a strange spatial diagram suddenly appeared in his mind, filled with numerous blue nodes. The starting node was larger than the others, and then it shot out a red line connecting to another blue node.

The cabinet and bed appear quite simple, consisting merely of a few basic wooden boards assembled together. They still retain the distinctive scent characteristic of wooden products

He forcefully threw the wooden stick forward and shouted angrily at the sky: "Trash game development team, isn't this supposed to be mathematical modeling? Is it really necessary? Does it have to be this complicated? I just want to enjoy playing a game, did our mage offend you or something?"

Have you made any discoveries?" Falken asked, suppressing his surprise and lowering his voice.

Additionally, both the knife and fork are made of wood and are quite dull, which further adds to Roland's difficulty in enjoying his lunch. In fact, only the wealthy and nobility can afford iron cutlery in this game

A beam of white light suddenly appeared above Roland's head, enveloping his entire body. He felt the pain in his head quickly dissipate. When he turned around, he saw the old priest Falken, hunched over, slowly approaching.

This game is made too realistically, the difficulty is so high Roland couldn't help but complain: "Even casting a spell is this exhausting... How are we wizards supposed to survive in the future"

Complaints aside, once the headache subsided, Roland conducted another spell experiment, which ended in failure. After waiting for ten minutes, he attempted the experiment again, only to fail once more

Falken stepped forward while observing Roland, appearing calm on the surface, yet his thoughts were tumultuous like raging waves. He could see that Roland was very intelligent, a natural spellcaster, but he did not expect that the limits of the other party's growth would completely exceed his expectations

Fireball (Level 1 Magic)

Generally, a relatively outstanding spellcaster must rest for more than three days after failing to cast spells two or three times before they can continue; otherwise, their brain suffers trauma due to excruciating pain. But how many times did this young man fail? He witnessed the entire process from beginning to end, at least fifteen times, and his opponent merely had a nosebleed yet still appeared to be in high spirits.

When a person has a place to settle down, their heart will find peace. Now Roland is no longer in a hurry to go to the big city. He feels that he should first settle down in this place, casually find a job to support himself, and take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the three spells. Once he is able to cast them, he will consider going to other places

"Fire magic power." Falken murmured, feeling a mix of envy, nostalgia, and jealousy. However, these emotions lasted only a moment before being completely shattered by a sense of relief: "Understanding how to wield magic power brings one closer to successfully casting spells."

Mushroom stir-fried fish ... ... steamed mountain chicken with tomatoes. If any restaurant in reality dared to serve such dishes, Roland would definitely flip the table, but here ... ... let's just make do.

The thatched house is entirely golden in color, still exuding the fragrance of being sun-dried. In the real world, such a house would undoubtedly be considered a popular tourist attraction, yet here, it is merely a thatched house.

Otherwise, if one encounters something like a giant spider again, one would have to face it once more

He once again retrieved the spellbook from the system, gazing at the three spells that came with the character upon creation

After finishing lunch, Roland's state of resurrection weakness also disappeared, and his body suddenly became light again, along with an improvement in his spirit

Thank you. Roland turned around and waved to the old man.

Roland sat on the bed to rest for a while and digest his food, then walked to the back of the church to prepare to practice magic

After repeating this more than ten times, Roland's nose began to bleed, yet he covered his nose and chuckled lightly. The saying "failure is the mother of success" is indeed true; although Roland still could not successfully cast a spell, he made an unexpected discovery

In the end, Roland still had a somewhat awkward lunch using a knife and fork. Although he was grateful for the villagers' gifts, in all honesty, the dishes did not taste very good; either they were overcooked or the ingredients were simply not right.
