Dragon Who Controls Time

Chapter 28

Principle of Casting

“This sun sculpture comes from an Evil God…”

Evil Gods referred to those gods who were cruel by nature and treated life as grass. They mainly harvested lives and devoured souls. To any intelligent life, the Evil God was an extremely dangerous existence.

In the records of the Noah Continent, there were Evil Gods.

There were even church organizations that believed in the Evil God. These lunatics who believed in the Evil God could even do things like living sacrifices, soul transactions, and massacres.

Of course, the Evil God Church was basically in a state where it could not be exposed. Once it appeared, it would attract the joint encirclement of many forces.

However, after flipping through the information about the Evil God in the dragon inheritance, Garen still could not find any content related to the sun sculpture.

Compared to the known Evil Gods, an Evil God statue of unknown origin was clearly more worth being wary of.

Of course, Garen was only vigilant, but he was not too afraid.

Most of the gods existed in the outer plane. It was not simple to enter the main material plane. At most, they would descend with their incarnations or use some insignificant divine power through some connections. They mainly affected the main material plane through their believers.

After thinking for a few minutes, Garen temporarily retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the frozen sun sculpture.

In the stone house of the two-headed ogre, something attracted Garen’s attention.

He moved and walked to the only large gray wooden table in the stone house.

On the gray wooden table, there were strange bottles and utensils. There was a glass vessel filled with green liquid, the limbs of an unknown creature… In the corner of the table were five yellowed books. They seemed to be quite old, but they did not attract Garen. This meant that they had not existed for long and were not ancient items.

Garen picked up the first book with his dragon claw. After seeing the words on it, he could not help but smile.

The words on it were in the Noah Common Language, so he could understand.

“Could it be that…”

Garen’s gaze was burning as he shifted his gaze to the other yellowed books.

After reading the cover name of the five books, Garen discovered that there was a strange book mixed in.

With a strange expression, he picked up the Casanova Paladin book. Garen first got the waiting Uga Bone Crusher to leave. Then, he flipped open the cover and carefully flipped through it with his dragon claw. Soon, he read it with interest.

Due to his fast reading speed, Garen read very quickly.

There were a total of 56 pages in this book, and there were many lively illustrations. All the words added up to less than 100,000 words. It did not take him long to read it.

At first, Garen only had the mentality of reading a forbidden book, but what surprised him was that he really discovered a lot of useful knowledge from this book.

The main content of this book was about a Paladin who wandered the Noah Continent and had a beautiful story with a small princess, a noble beauty, and a cold elf. He even subdued a female Red Dragon as a mount and chatted with the goddess of his faith in his dreams…

In short, it was a harem novel.

However, the customs and secret cultures described in it were not recorded in the dragon inheritance.

Through his knowledge, Garen determined that although much of the content in this book had been exaggeratedly enlarged, it was generally true and believable.

After putting down the [Casanova Paladin], Garen’s expression became serious as he picked up another book with a black cover.

[Principle of Casting]

Looking at the content of the book, Garen’s eyes lit up. He was immersed in it for a moment and read it softly.

“A spell is an independent magical effect. It’s a process of reconstructing the magical energy that pervades the multiverse and finally materializing it in a specific area in a specific way.”

“When casting a spell, the caster will stir up the invisible but omnipresent origin magic power, interweaving it to form a fixed shape and make it vibrate and spin in a specific way before releasing it to achieve the expected effect.”

“Magic can be used as a convenient tool, a weapon, or a protective barrier. It can cause or negate damage, and also produce or eliminate specific statuses. It can even absorb or give life force.”

“…”

“The tier of the spell roughly indicates its strength. A Tier 0 Spell can be activated with a thought, but a high-level spell requires all the energy of the caster. Some special spells also require countless materials, and even the life force of the caster.”

“Before the caster can use a certain spell, they have to engrave this spell in their consciousness or store the power of the spell in a magic item.”

“There are countless spell runes and incantations. After a long period of refinement, most of them are the most effective methods to communicate with elemental energy. The most commonly used rune incantations are ?????????…”

“An effective array must have a magic core (magic ring, basic curse, star diagram), magic guide (small circle on the star diagram, rune), and magic momentum (sun, moon, star, and other patterns).”

“….”

Compared to the ten lines at a glance when he was reading previously, Garen read word by word and seriously memorized every character.

He was very serious about the unknown knowledge.

Through the book [Principle of Casting], he gradually had a clear understanding of the concept of spells.

This book did not record the specific spell model, but it explained what the spell was. Moreover, it marked the incantation and effect of the commonly used rune incantation, as well as some basic array patterns. It was mainly some simple three-pointed star arrays.

After reading it, Garen felt that he had gained a lot.

After obtaining new knowledge, no matter what this knowledge was, it could always make Garen happy and feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

This was mental joy and soul joy, causing Garen to tremble in excitement.

The dragon claw holding the book trembled slightly.

“I have endless time and photographic memory. I’m an undying dragon… One day, all the knowledge of the many planes will be known and understood by me.”

Garen’s gaze became clear, and his platinum dragon eyes shone brightly.

All this time, Garen had actually been a little confused, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Was it just to live and obtain enough strength?

That was only letting nature take its course, not really a desire.

After coming to this unknown world and reincarnating into a dragon, he had the mentality of living safely and getting by. However, now, he was certain of his ideals and path.

This thought had already appeared when he first learned the Giant language and felt the excitement of grasping new knowledge. However, it was only now that Garen confirmed it and recognized himself.

This ideal sounded a little unrealistic because even gods were not omniscient.

Even the legendary King of Gods was not omnipotent.

But so what?

Could something that could be realized still be called an ideal?

The confusion in Garen’s heart was swept away, as if he had parted the clouds and seen the blue sky.
