Chapter 63 A Small Test
"Oh right, about that problem you mentioned earlier where the vowel transition was too long... could you take a look and see if my other spells have similar issues?"
Nita's eyes lit up, and she eagerly moved closer to Rom, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Rom took half a step back to maintain his distance.
"In theory, all spells have similar room for optimization."
However, each situation needs to be analyzed individually, as the syllable structure of each spell is different…
"Then teach me!"
Nita interrupted him directly, clasping her hands together in a pleading gesture.
"I have three spells that aren't working well, and I'm worried I won't pass the assessment... Could you take a look at them for me? You said you read a lot of books, right?"
"Miss Nita!"
A steady, middle-aged male voice sounded from behind.
Nita's smile froze on her face instantly.
Luo Mu looked in the direction of the sound.
A middle-aged man dressed in a dark gray suit with a silver family crest pinned to his chest was walking briskly towards them.
The opponent's leather boots were spotless, his back was ramrod straight, and his stride was almost perfectly synchronized, clearly indicating that he was well-trained.
He must be the butler of a nobleman's mansion.
Rom immediately recognized this kind of person's behavior; they could occasionally be seen at the academy, and they were specifically responsible for picking up and dropping off the aristocratic children who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
"Miss Nita, why did you sneak out again all by yourself?"
The middle-aged butler approached, first giving Rom a slight nod, then turning his gaze to Nita, speaking respectfully.
"The mage Bellman, whom the master specially hired for you, has been waiting for you for almost an hour."
Nita pouted and crossed her arms.
"Hmph, that teacher is too old-fashioned. All he does is make me recite that same prayer over and over again until my mouth is dry, and he won't let me change it."
So boring! I'd much rather try it myself!
The butler's expression remained unchanged.
"Instructor Bellman is a third-tier water-elemental mage, and Master went to great lengths to hire him. If you continue to act so recklessly, things will get complicated with Master..."
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Nita waved her hand impatiently, but did not immediately follow the butler.
She turned around and grabbed Rom's sleeve.
"What else can you do? Tell me quickly, I'll write it down and study it myself when I get home!"
Rom looked down at the cuff of his hand that was being gripped, then looked up at the butler behind Nita. The butler's smile remained impeccable, but his slightly narrowed eyes were already scrutinizing him.
A butler appears to be assessing whether an ordinary apprentice poses a threat to the young lady.
That look made Rom feel uncomfortable.
He calmly pulled his sleeve back.
"I'm not a water mage, so there's not much I can do to help you. But if you make any new discoveries in the future, we can discuss them again."
Nita was clearly disappointed, but she didn't press the matter further. She said "Oh," and then resumed her carefree smile, waving to Rommu.
"It's a deal then! You'll have to teach me something next time we meet. Bye!"
The butler followed behind her, his steps still steady and measured.
As the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Luo Mu stood there, watching the bouncy figure vanish around the corner.
It turns out that Nita is a young lady from a noble family.
No wonder.
That absurd amount of magic power, that physique that can cast spells more than ten times in a row without blinking, is probably because he has had special magic potions to regulate his magic power foundation since childhood. The potions and runes he uses are probably not things that ordinary people can come across.
Talent plus resources—that's the real starting line.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
Luo Mu snapped out of his thoughts and looked around.
The training ground was sparsely populated, with most of the people having already left, and the sun was setting in the west.
A few apprentices were still practicing in the distance, the closest of whom was fifty or sixty meters away.
Finally, it's quiet.
He walked to a relatively quiet open space by the pool, squatted down, and placed his right hand on the ground.
The soil beneath my palm was slightly cool and damp.
It's time to get down to business.
[Earthquake Spell], a first-tier earth-based spell.
The effect is to release shockwaves from the caster to the surrounding ground, interfering with the enemy's ability to stand and cast spells.
These are spells that he "analyzed" from the basic earth magic textbook in the library over the past few days.
Strictly speaking, it's not about "learning" but about "reconstructing".
Like all the spells he worked on, Romul dissected the original casting process into its underlying logic, eliminated redundant steps, and rearranged the nodes and frequencies of magic output.
He went through the entire optimization code in his mind again.
[Optimized Version of Earthquake Technique]
Target = Contact surface soil strata;
Action = Release high-frequency physical infrasound;
Radius = (Set the oscillation radius);
While (Status == Run){//Establish a continuous oscillation cycle
Execute_Resonance (Same-frequency resonance amplification); // Utilizes the wavelength of earth elements for resonance superposition
}
Break (Stops operation when released);
[Code syntax validation passed. Estimated initial startup computational power consumption: 10 points.]
"You only need 10 points of computing power to get started, and you can achieve continuous oscillation by establishing wavelength cycles."
"Yes, the logic is perfect, even more energy-efficient than the original's single-release mechanism."
Rom was very satisfied with his modified code design.
The original Earthquake spell's magic transmission path is divergent, spreading evenly in all directions, which is inefficient.
His improved plan was to first compress the magic to an extremely narrow frequency band, and then inject it into the ground in a pulsed manner, using the medium properties of the soil itself to amplify the propagation efficiency of the vibration wave, and even trigger the resonance of the earth's vein magic.
In theory, with the same magic consumption, the range and intensity of the vibration will be significantly increased.
"start."
He started the program, and magic surged from his palm, seeping into the soil along his hand.
one second.
two seconds.
Nothing happens.
The ground was quiet and still; not even a blade of grass trembled.
Luo Mu frowned slightly.
Are the parameters wrong? Or is the pulse frequency not aligned with the resonance point of the soil layer?
He was about to interrupt the spell and readjust when suddenly, he felt a slight tremor under his feet.
It's not an illusion.
"It's done!"
However, the tremor is intensifying.
getting bigger.
Luo Mu suddenly sensed something was wrong.
That's too late.
The next instant, a violent shockwave erupted, centered on his right hand.
The entire training ground even shook violently!
The soil beneath our feet began to undulate, and fine cracks appeared on the ground, with gravel bouncing and tumbling in place.
The surface of the pool exploded into boiling water, and the fish frantically leaped out of the water, splashing water several feet high!
Several old trees in the distance even cracked, their thick trunks swaying violently, sending fallen leaves and broken branches flying everywhere.
"Oh my god! There's an earthquake!"
"Run!!"
Screams erupted from all over the training ground as apprentices dropped their staffs and scrambled out of the area.
Rom's head buzzed.
A tremendous backlash of mental energy surged up instantly, my temples throbbed, and the scene before my eyes began to blur.
The consumption is too high!
Pulsed compression conduction does amplify vibration waves, but by more than one order of magnitude!
He severely underestimated the cumulative effect of soil resonance, and what's even more troublesome is...
Mental computing power is being continuously poured into the spell! Amplifying the effect...
"Damn, I forgot to set a limit!"
