Chapter 557: Waste Stone (Thank you for the recognition of the great master who saw me become a grea
Seeing Dio's reaction, the subhuman queen knew what Dio was thinking.
She did not force Dio, but looked at the pocket watch in Dio's hand.
"What does this thing do?"
Dio breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head, and then began to introduce this magical equipment.
"My talent for destiny magic is very low. The teacher said that this might be a good thing. If others want to calculate my destiny, it will cost a lot of money."
"The teacher took advantage of this characteristic of mine and made this equipment. As long as I hold it, others cannot speculate on my fate. Even the fate of people related to me will be affected and become unpredictable. "Dior shook his pocket watch and put it in his pocket.
"Then this is a good thing. Lenara used destiny magic to find you. Now she should not be able to determine your location." The demi-human queen said.
"Well, that's true."
"Then what are you going to do next? I can't help you now." The Asian Queen was a little disappointed.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, you have helped me a lot." Dio patted the Asian Queen on the shoulder.
Even if the demi-human queen is sitting on the bed, she is still a head taller than Dio. After turning into a human, she looks a little quiet.
"Is there anything else you need me to do?" the queen asked anyway, she wanted to look as useful as possible.
"No... wait, actually you can help me sort out some information... Of course, if you don't like doing these things..."
"No problem, what information do I need to sort out?" the Asian Queen said uncharacteristically.
In fact, her cultural level is not high, that is, she can barely recognize common human words. Asking her to organize the information is actually very problematic.
But Dio didn't want the subhuman queen to fall into a depression. After all, Dio knew the feeling of falling from the peak to the trough, so Dio found something for her to do.
"Please help me sort out these modern histories first." Dio said.
"Okay." The Asian Queen nodded in agreement.
"Well, I have to go out to do some errands. You try to stay here and don't go out." Dio said.
"Ah."
Dio left, leaving only the demi-human queen in the room.
Dio was not sure about her safety, so he asked Melina to protect her secretly. But Melina refused the request.
"I will only help you keep an eye on her. Even if she is in danger, I will not take action."
"It's okay to watch. If anything happens, I hope you can notify me." Dio could only do this.
In this way, Melina changed the surveillance target from Dio to the demihuman queen.
At this time, the demi-human queen was reading a book as thick as a brick.
After just reading two pages, she felt a little dizzy.
She wanted to go out for a walk, but she was afraid that Dio would worry.
In the end, she could only chew through these tomes patiently.
Melina, who was observing from the sidelines, was also a little surprised. She didn't expect the demi-human queen to be so patient at this time.
These modern histories were compiled by the Blood Royal Court. But many of the contents are quite shocking, so orthodox historians will not read them and will only treat them as unofficial histories.
However, Dio still trusted the Blood Royal Court, so he bought some and put them at home.
He hopes to find some clues from it that will allow him to find his own power as a human being.
At this time, Dio was participating in the assessment of the Mind Mage Academy.
Although Teacher Se Lian knows a lot of magic, she has not done much research on spiritual magic.
Dio is also curious about why the almighty teacher Serian doesn't study this kind of magic?
The explanation given by Teacher Se Lian was that this magic was harmful to her. This made Dio curious about psychic magic.
The assessment of the Mind Mage Academy is very interesting. It is not a traditional question or a test of magic qualifications.
Its assessment content is to learn a magic, which is said to be the first psychic magic invented by Principal Tops.
"The Topps force field is the magic that can reflect people's hearts." Dio held a booklet and flipped through it.
There were many people around him who were also holding pamphlets and frowning.
"Don't worry, there is plenty of time for the exam. As long as you learn this magic within three days, you can enter our academy." A short female magician said gently. She is the examiner of this assessment.
"Sir Examiner, the brochure says that this magic can reflect people's hearts. What if something very bad is reflected? Will the academy accept such a person?" A bald man said hesitantly.
"It depends on your own choice. The college's requirement is that as long as you can successfully release the force field, you will be deemed to have passed the exam." The female examiner said with a smile.
After answering this question, the venue instantly became quite quiet.
Many people left here with complicated expressions. After all, not everyone likes to reveal their inner feelings.
And Dio was a little shaken in his heart. To be honest, he was also afraid of revealing his true feelings.
This magic is so simple that he learned it after only watching it for 5 minutes.
But he didn't dare to use it.
Some talented people have come to the examiner one after another and released their force fields.
These people's force fields are very weak, and some people's force fields are so slight that they are almost invisible.
However, no matter how subtle the force field was, the female mage did not show any disdain. She smiled and gave a badge to everyone who mastered magic.
This badge is the symbol of the Academy of Mind Magic. The symbol depicts a stone full of holes.
In Dior's opinion, that badge was downright ugly. But the person who received this badge was full of joy.
Dio hesitated for another ten minutes. Most of the candidates around him had already handed in their papers. There were only a few left who were still frowning and thinking hard.
It looked like they really thought this magic was difficult.
Only Dio looked around, looking a little uneasy.
The female examiner's eyes immediately focused on him.
Facing the smiling face of the female examiner, Dio sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... No matter what, I shouldn't give up this possibility."
Dio made up his mind and walked up to the female examiner.
He used the Topps force field, and then a three-meter thick black force field enveloped him.
The female examiner's face instantly stiffened. To be honest, this was the first time she had seen such a terrifying psychic force field.
The most powerful psychic force field she had ever witnessed before belonged to a serial murderer. What he liked to do most was to collect the organs from the victims and cook them for eating.
But that person's psychic force field is not even 1% of that of the person in front of him.
"You...you..." There was something wrong with the female mage's eyes, and the candidates around her were also startled by Dio.
"Oh my God! How serious is this guy's sin!"
"Quick! Call the law enforcement team over!"
"what!!!"
The scene instantly became a mess.
Dio smiled bitterly and withdrew the force field.
At this time, the female mage finally calmed down. "Impossible, humans simply can't do this! Something must have gone wrong."
"This classmate, please come with me first." Then she looked at the candidates around her.
"Don't panic, everyone. This situation may not be what everyone thinks. In short, please don't spread it randomly."
The surrounding students finally settled down, and they also felt that maybe Dio's understanding of magic was wrong, which caused such a result.
After all, such a spiritual force field is too exaggerated!
Dio finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not arrested on the spot.
Later, the female examiner led Dio to a conference hall.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the hall. Most of them are relatively young and look energetic.
"The principal is going to have a meeting today. Maybe he can know what happened to you." The female mage said.
"Principal Tops?" Dio's eyes lit up slightly. For some reason, he was actually a little nervous now.
Probably because this principal is so mysterious, there are few rumors about him from the outside world.
"Let's find a seat together! It's hard to see the principal." The female mage said.
"Thank you." Dio nodded.
After a while, there were more and more people in the hall, and some older people also entered the hall.
"Are these old men all mentors?" Dio asked curiously.
"Well, they used to be, but now they're retired. Principal Tops thinks teachers who are too old are not good at communicating with students."
"He is actually retiring now, and most of the school's affairs have been handed over to the younger generation."
Dio looked at the young people present in surprise. It turned out that these young people were the tutors of the academy.
"Don't the older the magician is, the more knowledge he has?" Dio was a little confused.
"Haha, it's true. But most students don't need such advanced knowledge at all. It is actually a waste to let these highly respected people explain ordinary and easy-to-understand knowledge. They should use their energy to study their own magic. .”
"..." Dio was a little confused. He always felt that there was something strange about this school.
Dio waited for the arrival of Principal Topps with mixed emotions. Gradually, everyone at the venue finally arrived.
On the podium, the figure of a bald old man slowly appeared.
As soon as he arrived, the entire scene instantly became quiet.
Dio felt that his tense heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and he subconsciously developed a liking for the bald old man in front of him.
Then Dio reacted.
"What a powerful magic! I was already affected just by seeing him!"
"Shh~ That's not magic, it's just a kind of aura." The female mage reminded in a low voice.
Tops in the stands looked towards them as if aware.
The female mage blushed instantly and lowered her head in a hurry.
Tops just smiled and then greeted everyone present.
"It's been a long time no see. There are many new faces here."
"This meeting is for everyone to exchange the latest magic research results. Please feel free to speak freely."
Topps closed his mouth after speaking a few words, and then he slowly walked towards the auditorium.
Several old men sitting in the front row couldn't wait to step onto the podium and began to share their research results.
Dio was stunned when he saw this scene.
"Wait! I should be considered an outsider, right? Can even I participate in a meeting of this level?"
"It doesn't matter. In fact, the knowledge here is basically open to the public. As long as you want to learn, we won't restrict it."
"However, some advanced spiritual magic requires the guidance of a teacher. Sometimes just knowing the theory without experience is of no use."
"This..." Dio was still a little hard to understand.
While the two were chatting, Topps actually walked straight towards them.
"Uh... Mr. Principal, I am Dio." Dio quickly stood up and saluted.
"Don't be nervous, you don't mind if I sit next to you?" Tops smiled.
"I don't mind!" Dio hurriedly moved away.
The people around him didn't react much when they saw this scene. After all, Principal Tops was so approachable.
"Through our clinical research on many people with fading, we found that their minds were obviously disturbed abnormally."
"And the source of this interference comes from their blessing..."
"These examples allow us to more clearly study how the interference of gods on human will occurs..."
As Dio listened to the old man's story on the stage, his heart couldn't help but beat fast. He wanted to escape from here now.
But Dio soon discovered that his mood was abnormal. He was also a person who had seen big scenes. How could he be frightened by this?
It seemed that something was wrong with him since he first saw Topps.
"Do you feel it? Those emotions don't belong to you." Tops smiled.
Dio's hands clenched suddenly.
"Don't be nervous, we have no prejudice against faded people." Tops said calmly.
"Please listen for a while, maybe this knowledge will be useful to you."
Dio's expression changed for a while, and then he continued to listen.
“On how blessings affect the faded?”
"Its impact is mainly divided into two aspects, one is direct intervention, and the other is indirect cultivation."
"Direct intervention means that the gods forcibly interfere with the emotions of the faded person through blessing. For the theoretical basis of this, you can go to the seventh floor of the Mind Library to find..."
"Indirect training is much more complicated. Most of the predecessors of the Faded Ones were determined heroes. The interference of gods may have a certain impact on them, but it is not a decisive factor."
"And indirect cultivation is the real culprit that causes their hearts to mutate..."
"The first step in indirect training is to soften the will of these heroes."
"And the Finger Witch is the best tool."
"I don't doubt the affection between witches and faded people, but it is this kind of affection that makes faded people lose their due vigilance."
"In other words, even if they are aware of it, they are unwilling to resist."
"After all, in the process of being hostile to the entire world, how precious is a person who stays by your side?"
“The second step of indirect cultivation is to create difficulties for the faded people to survive. I’m not sure who first promoted the theory that faded people are harmful, but the emergence of this view has indeed made the living environment of the faded people worse. "
"The faded ones will always cause all kinds of killings in their struggle with the environment, and killing is the way for them to become stronger."
"After experiencing the pleasure of becoming stronger, most faded people will actively kill."
"There may be good faded people who can restrain this murderous intention, but they must also become stronger in order to protect the people around them."
"So whether they are active or passive, they will eventually embark on the path of killing all sentient beings."
"..."
"And we also discovered that as the blessings deepen, the gods will provide various killing methods, such as blood finger invasion, or the arena among the faded ones..."
"Under the constant guidance of the gods, the faded ones finally walked towards a path of no return."
"And we have also successfully performed blessing peeling operations on several faded people. After the blessing peeling, they also showed deep remorse for their previous killings."
"This also shows that the gods have blocked their compassion to a certain extent..."
When Dio heard this, he was instantly surprised. Blessings can actually be stripped away?
"In fact, it is very difficult to do this. The difficulty is not the surgery, but whether the person who faded is willing to do it." Tops said.
Dio's expression was a little complicated. If it was just starting out, he might consider stripping off the blessing. But now, he couldn't bear it.
In other words, as the people on the stage said, he also has people who need to be protected, and he simply cannot choose to retreat from his strength at this time.
This meeting lasted for nearly a week. Everyone came to the meeting from 9 to 5, and Dior heard the whole meeting.
"It's amazing, you actually dare to study gods." Dio felt that his three views were somewhat subverted.
Because the later part of the meeting was all about the discussion of gods.
"What does it matter? The world has become like this anyway." Topps didn't seem to care.
"But I heard that some interesting phenomena occurred when you cast the little spell I invented. Can you show it again?"
Upon hearing this, Dio directly summoned his own spiritual force field.
Looking at the terrifying mental barrier, Topps was also a little shocked.
He was certain that this was definitely the little spell he invented. But he knew that humans simply could not unleash such a terrifying force field.
Even Godwin's psychic force field is not as exaggerated as this.
Topps couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched it, and then his expression became a little strange.
"No, this is not your psychic force field. This is more like the psychic force field gathered by countless people. What is going on? Why are other people's psychic force fields reflected in your body?" Tops scratched himself. He has a bald head and a funny expression.
When Dio heard Topps' answer, he had some thoughts in his mind.
"Could it be a black velvet ball?" Dio guessed in his mind.
So he came up with his idea. "Principal, if there is a person who can connect with other people's minds, can he also express the other person's mental force field?"
Tops was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head. "It's useless, this is impossible."
But Dio didn't believe Topps' view. After all, few people can experience the feeling of connecting hearts. How does Topps know that it can't be done?
Topps seemed to see what Dio was thinking, so he stretched out his finger and tapped Dio's eyebrows.
For a moment, Dio felt a familiar feeling, the feeling of spiritual connection.
"How is that possible!" Dio's eyes widened.
"Nothing is impossible, the mind is so magical." Topps' thoughts were passed into Dio's mind.
However, this connection did not last long, only lasting less than three seconds, and the two were disconnected again.
The reason is that Dior showed strong resistance and the link was interrupted.
From this point of view, Topps' spiritual connection is still not as strong as that of Black Velvet Ball, but it is indeed very terrifying to be able to do this.
Topps didn't have any problem with Dior's rejection. After all, few people were willing to open their hearts.
"..." Dio's expression was a little ugly. He didn't feel uncomfortable because the other party was connected to his soul. He just thought about whether the power of the soul is also a kind of external divine power?
After all, Black Velvet seems to be an alien god, and maybe he controls psychic power.
"Don't humans really have their own power?" For some reason, Dio felt a sense of despair.
Is everything that people have given by external gods?
At the same time, Topps seemed to have thought of something.
"Wait a minute... your situation is a bit similar to that of gods. They can also emit despairing spiritual barriers, which are hatred that rejects everything!" Topps suddenly thought of the scene he saw in a certain world.
On the outside of the golden tree, there is a circle of thorns of despair, which blocks everyone from entering.
Those thorns are not physical entities, but manifestations of the spirit of the gods.
The feeling of those stabs to Topps is very similar to Dio's shield.
"God?" Dio became more and more sure of his conjecture. Maybe the black velvet ball was really an alien god who controlled the mind.
"So, is this barrier left to me by him?" Dio thought to himself.
"Principal, is the defense of this barrier very high?" Dio asked.
"It's very high. Even a giant dragon must not be able to penetrate it," Tops said.
"What about the demigods?"
"Regular attacks shouldn't work. But if the demigod wants to hurt you, there are many ways." Tops reminded vaguely.
He didn't want Dio to do something stupid.
"In addition, don't rely on the benefits this barrier brings to you. What you should think about is breaking it down, not thickening it."
"How to break it?" Dio was a little curious.
"Open your heart and do more good deeds." Tops said seriously.
Dio looked dumbfounded. "Maybe it's very difficult for me."
"Alas... please try your best to give it a try. This world can no longer tolerate more destruction." Tops shook his head and slowly disappeared.
Dio stayed there for a while, thinking about his recent gains.
At this time, his examiner came over.
"Congratulations, Dio-san. You have officially become a member of the Academy of Mind Magic."
The female examiner handed an ugly badge to Dior.
"Thank you, I wonder who my teacher is?" Dio asked.
"Haha, there is no fixed teacher, everything depends on your own interests. The library has a directory of teachers, you can check it to find the courses you like."
"After listening to the corresponding teacher's class and completing the other party's assessment, you will be credited with one credit. After completing 500 credits, you will graduate."
"So work hard, young man!" the female examiner said with a smile.
"Young man..." Dio was speechless.
In the afternoon, Dio came to the library.
The library is very big and there are many people inside.
Although everyone tried their best to suppress the sound, it still seemed very noisy.
But this is only the situation on the first floor, and it is much better after the second floor.
The teacher's directory is being read by countless students, and I don't know that I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to see it.
Dio felt helpless, so he left the library and went straight to the teaching building.
He is not going to choose. He is going to listen to all the classes.
However, the setting of the teaching building is very interesting. The lower the floor, the more basic the knowledge taught by the teachers.
So Dior doesn’t have to worry about missing the basics.
He casually walked into a large low-rise classroom and sat down. At this time, the teacher was not in class yet, but the students were already discussing with each other.
Dior felt the relaxed atmosphere and felt very comfortable in his heart.
After a while, a young male mage stood on the podium. He pointed his wand and the classroom door was closed. The door will not be opened until get out of class is over.
If a classmate is holding back his urine, then he can only hold it in.
The teacher didn't waste any time and started explaining directly.
A class lasts 60 minutes. After the lecture, the teacher assigns an assessment.
This assessment is also a simple magic.
"Students from the academy come to my place to demonstrate and I will give you credits."
In an instant, many students stood up and started demonstrating.
Some of them have attended the class several times, so it’s not surprising that they can do this.
The teacher patiently inputs magic power into the badges of those who passed the assessment.
The original pitted stone logo on the badge seems to have been filled in a bit.
Dior also noticed this detail.
"Oh? So it turns out that the meaning of this badge is to express knowledge and make people perfect?" Dio felt that it was very meaningful.
The male teacher couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"The stone on the badge represents a waste stone. No matter how perfect the waste stone is, it is still a waste stone. The meaning of the badge is just to let everyone give up struggling."
"Huh?" Dio looked shocked.
"This is not what I said, this is what the principal said. In fact, I am more inclined to your understanding." The male teacher said with a smile.
Dio showed off the magic he had just learned somewhat speechlessly.
The male teacher couldn't help but nod. "good."
Then the emblem on Dior was also filled in some.
After finishing everything, Dio ran to the next classroom...
For a month, Dior worked hard to smooth this stone.
