Chapter 56 Copy and Learn

When Dagon began to learn how to copy, the banquet had just come to an end. The so-called ending means that there was no steaming food in the kitchen, only wine (work hard) was enough. If you really wanted to eat, you had to eat some plant rhizomes, eat some weird mushrooms, or eat some warm potato flour cakes like the bear lizard.

The banquet hall was in a mess, and there were people lying on the ground and sleeping loudly. Some Jiangu people were fighting with the sleeping people to achieve undefeated. The lord and the representatives of the clan meeting had left, and they all expressed satisfaction, so this was a perfect banquet and a memorable banquet.

Tormond and Corona hid two pieces of meat steak from the grilled fork for Dagon and took them back to the room. When will Dagon come back and when will he be given hot food? Both of them saw Dagon's chalk text messages and knew that he could take the initiative to learn now, so they were very pleased.

"There is Master Cardo in the library. Dagon will definitely be left to work by him. It is impossible for him to come back very early." Tormond said while removing his prosthetic limbs: "Sleep for a while now, don't force yourself to wait. This banquet is so exhausting."

Can you not be tired? As the only weapon master in Jian Gucheng, Tomund was toasted by many people. His enthusiastic compliments made his ears calluses. He felt that his mind was filled with useless things, and it hurts to swell.

"Then you go to bed first. I want to calculate how much money I have earned recently. Seonamilis is so far away, it is still in the north. It will snow in winter. I think I have to prepare something for him."

"Don't rush this time. Dagon went out as a member of the Neil family, and his stuff will be fully equipped."

"How do the people from the Conneer family understand Dagon? Don't worry, I'm not tired anyway, I'll just talk about it for a while. Go to bed quickly!"

Tormond mumbled, not knowing what he said, but it soon turned into a clear snoring. Corona went to the toilet in the room and took out a small leather bag behind a loose wall panel, and the coins inside were jingling. More than a dozen gold coins and a handful of silver coins, which were the money the couple had earned recently.

The weapons masters and consultants paid a lot of salaries, but they had to pay the debt first, so that was the only thing left. In the days of financial difficulties, Tormond's former students and their neighbors on the street helped a lot. No one was a rich man, and the steel-cast couple quickly paid it back when they had the money.

"The weapon is already there, the armor... can't be inserted. The lord must have equipped Dagon with armor and clothing with the Neil family emblem. Well, prepare him a few comfortable underwear and prepare him some daily necessities." Corona smiled while counting the money. "Hey, I thought of a good idea! Tommond, how about we buy him a pot?"

"Ho...hulululululululululu..."

"I knew you would definitely agree." Corona counted the money and carefully hid them again.

Under the lord's mansion, Dagon was learning how to copy books. He never thought that there were many tricks to copying this work, and according to specific methods, it could indeed save a lot of time.

For example, overall overall planning, there are great questions. Take "Transforming Qi into Stone" as an example. This is a book that explains the methods of cultivation. The main content is more research and exploration. It is very different from the books that give results and final steps such as "Runish Breathing Method" and "Harvesting Body Technique". The book involves many calculations, a large number of pictures, and a lot of notes and modifications, which are not suitable for copying as it is. Therefore, the first step in copying is to sort out the context of the book and clarify the relationship between the front and back, the causal relationship, and the total score.

"This time, it's not a restoration of ancient books, so the first thing to remember is not to completely copy it." Master Kado said: "If you write down the content and write it down in a way that is easy for you to understand, that is success. Therefore, you are copying books and taking notes. The content, layout, and arrangement order are you can follow your own understanding and habits, and you don't need to be exactly the same."

"Master Cardo, why do I feel like you want me to win?"

"I can't copy books, and I'm teaching them, so I can't hold my old face." Master Kado shook his head and said, "Come on, I'll show you how to arrange the order. If you remember the results, you have to learn the method. I will only tell you a small part of the previous one, and you have to do more work by yourself."

Master Kado started with a quick reading and talked about how to extract the most important features of the article, then the shorthand label and catalog reorganization, and finally the estimation and overall arrangement of the copying workload. There are reading skills, core refinements, and some related to mathematics. Dagon was fascinated by the sound of the words, and felt as if a door was opened in front of him.

When he was learning martial arts with his father, Tormond was physically disabled and could not be his opponent. Therefore, Dagon developed a set of skills to learn and practice after listening to others' narratives, which could also be useful in copying. After Master Kado finished speaking, he first reorganized the work of Master Kado's first tenth of the content of "Transforming Qi into Stones". During the review, he tried to restore Master Kado's operations to see if he would forget his knowledge points and whether he would cause deviations in actual operations. If there was a deviation, then what was the problem? Is it because I didn't understand or was not proficient enough, which was conducive to summarizing experience.

From learning to learning, from learning to mastering, Dagon has his own rhythm. This set of rhythm gave him martial arts that surpass his peers' level, and more importantly, he had good learning habits and methods. Dagon reviewed very patiently and found many details that he had ignored before, some of them thought about and some took the time to ask questions. He was very focused and finally completed all the details on the seventh time, making it exactly the same as Master Cardo. At this time, Master Cardo had already returned to the library to work, but Dagon didn't even know it.

Touching his belly, he had eaten full at a banquet before, but now he is not hungry, and can continue working. He found that his appetite is very similar to a predator. He can eat a lot and absorb it very well. He can basically extract the nutrients and convert them into physical reserves. If he had not had such good digestion and absorption ability, he would not be able to develop strength and endurance when he was hungry. Now, he has finally eaten completely, and it can even be said that he has been eating for a long time. It is just a try to last for how long he can last.

Before meditating, practicing and staying in the room for too long, he was energetic, so he could sleep day and night; eating too much and not hungry for the time being, so he could forget to eat. Dagon focused on "Transforming Qi into Stone", not only for the knowledge in it, but also for laying a good foundation for his future study in the elite academy. After going there, he had to learn the cultural history of the elves, learn a lot of things in the books other than martial arts, and the key extraction and overall planning in the copying can help.

While reading quickly, while thinking about the content in the book, the author of "Transforming Qi into Stone" talks about his thoughts on accelerating the cycle of mana. Based on his own cultivation experience, starting from the recent single-element mana cycle, he listed in detail the changing trends of several elements in different environments, trying to summarize the rules from them. He believes that the best way to cycle is to promote each other in order of the five natural elements, that is, water produces wood, wood produces fire, and fire produces earth. If the static balance can be found, you can continue to accelerate until the tolerance limit of the surrounding natural elements is reached.

Some of the methods in it are also used now, and they are widely used. For example, Dagon also knows the cultivation tips of using fire elements to stimulate the growth of earth elements. A set of methods are given in the book, which can greatly improve this catalytic effect. However, Dagon looked carefully and felt that the numbers given in the book were too large and were not so good in reality.

"Hiss... I feel it's a bit unreliable now, and other theories seem even more exaggerated." Dagon scratched his head, understanding why this book was left to the shelves and no one cared about it. "Forget it, the original goal was to learn from it, and see where the predecessors had conducted research in, so that they can inspire ideas. Even if the predecessors were wrong, it would be a reward to be able to recognize where the mistake was. Even if they took a step back, copy the book first, win the bet and learn a new method, it would definitely be good."

Dagon began to copy and use his own method. In the original book, the pictures, calculation methods, notes, and notes were mixed together, and Dagon rearranged them according to the method of Cardo. He did not pursue the same page number, even if it was twice as much, it didn't matter, as long as it was clear and easy to read. Some pictures could be made into small labels and nailed on parchment paper, which was better than the past form.

As he started his actual work, Dagon also had some new ideas, which was a method that Master Kado did not teach. He felt that it would be better to divide everything into two books than to put it in one book. One book records ideas and the other book records operations. In this way, the workload of the pages is lessened when transcribing, just write the sentence "See the xx page of the chart".

While focusing on text transcription, Dagon noticed a phenomenon: in this book, there are some rune strokes that do not exist in the text of Jian Gu clan. The texts of Jian Gu clan are like knives and chisels, which do not include circles, continuous horizontal strokes and first up and then downward turns. However, in "Transforming Qi into Stones" written by both predecessors of Jian Gu clan, these are present in small quantities. After asking Kado and making analogies by himself, these strokes are likely from the elves, or other texts that Dagon does not know yet.

In other words, rune spells were creative inventions of the Jiangu people, but it may also borrow the texts of other races and civilizations, and the purpose is probably to try to deepen the integrity and comprehensiveness of the depiction of natural forces. Some studies in "Transforming Qi into Stone" were still before "Runishing Breathing Method", because the strokes of these other races were all abandoned in the rune period, and only retained the essence that was most suitable for the Jiangu people.

This choice is conducive to the Jian Gu people practicing magic power based on their own characteristics. However, in "Transforming Qi into Stone", the researcher's goal is to make the magic power circulate faster. What we need to accommodate the characteristics of the elements in the natural state, so the importance of taking care of Jian Gu people should be adjusted later. Dagong thought of this, and the author of "Transforming Qi into Stone" also thought of this, but in this book, he seemed to be unable to complete this idea.

The book records eighty ideas and more than 300 experiments carried out by them. Some are detailed and some are brief, but the final result is all failure. The spontaneous acceleration cycle of the five elements can begin but cannot be maintained, as if there is a kind of force always dragging back. The closest successful experiment is a spiral elemental composition, which has already formed the prototype of magic arrays and rituals, but the most basic elemental power is still running inside. The author tries to turn the five elements into eternal millstones, absorbing external elements while pushing himself to purify them, turning the elements into mana. However, this millstone can only run for a short time, and will then be interrupted by the exhaustion of the user's mana. Yes, from the user's perspective, it still cannot produce net, and is a model that loses money.
