Herag spent five days inputting all the books from the second floor of the library and then proceeded to the third floor.
The books on the third floor were fewer than those on the second floor, and the number of bookshelves had visibly decreased.
Additionally, there were far fewer people reading here.
After glancing at the books on the shelves, Herag understood that these were more advanced books.
Recalling the books from the first to the third floor, he couldn't help but think it's no wonder the Wizard Influence in the Land of Dawn is so strong.
These books are almost barrier-free for the citizens of Silver Moon City, as they can borrow books every month for ten Magic Stones, significantly enhancing overall knowledge quality.
Herag learned that the selection of Wizard Apprentices here starts at a young age.
Everyone undergoes three wizard aptitude selections from the time they start school until they graduate at sixteen years old. Those with aptitude are chosen by Serlandir.
Of course, being chosen doesn't mean one can enter Serlandir; further assessment and selection must be passed.
Only after a series of assessments can one become a formal member of Serlandir.
Those who fail the assessments can only engage in other wizard-related jobs, becoming reserve personnel for Serlandir.
If they perform outstandingly later, or make other contributions, they can also enter Serlandir.
Herag felt that Serlandir was really strict about the requirements for entry, but once admitted, the management became less strict.
Simply put, whether you strive or not after entering is your business; no one will control you.
However, as long as you work hard enough and accumulate enough Contribution Points, you won't lack resources, as Serlandir will provide everything for you.
Herag thought as he picked up a book from the shelf to start inputting.
"Magic Principle: Structured Application of Spatial Energy Particles"
"Advanced Magic Potion"
"Cast Magic on Your Cheese"
"Intermediate Witchcraft Introduction"
"Secrets a Witch Can't Help But Tell"
...
Herag was simply enamored with these books, greedily absorbing the knowledge within them.
The database of Shenlan once again recorded a wealth of knowledge, laying a solid foundation for Herag's future development.
Much of the knowledge might not be immediately useful to Herag, but quantity leads to quality changes, and it would certainly be hugely beneficial in the future.
In five days, Herag completed the input of all the books on the third floor.
Spending a little over half a month, the contents of the first three floors of the library were completely recorded in Shenlan.
Herag closed his eyes and organized these entered knowledge: "Where should I start learning?"
The knowledge entered this time was abundant and relatively high-tier, quite complicated.
But learning definitely comes step by step, and he couldn't simultaneously learn so many subjects.
After considering for a while, Herag decided to first learn witchcraft-related knowledge, and then supplement his learning with advanced knowledge about Magic Potions.
The "Basic Introduction to Witchcraft" he had previously read only explained the most basic knowledge and elaborated on sixteen runes.
Regarding the incredibly large knowledge system of witchcraft, Herag had only scratched the surface.
"Shenlan, select the books related to witchcraft." Herag recalled that he had input several witchcraft-related books.
"Searching..."
"Witchcraft-related books are as follows:"
"Intermediate Witchcraft Introduction"
"Explanation of One Hundred Witch Runes"
"Thirty-six Common Witch Array Structures"
"Witch Array: Attribute Relationship"
...
Shenlan provided a total of six witchcraft-related books, covering various aspects of witchcraft knowledge.
Herag began reading, learning, and understanding each book as given by Shenlan.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two months, Herag, along with David and Reese, went to the library to study earnestly every day.
Sometimes, Herag didn't go to the library, because witchcraft also required practical hands-on experiments, which could only be performed at home.
During these two months, Herag focused on studying witchcraft wholeheartedly, increasing his mastery of rune quantities to over a hundred, and had completely mastered some basic structure paradigms.
The so-called structure paradigms are fixed combinations of runes.
These paradigms are the experiences summarized by countless predecessors, with stable structure and good efficiency, having passed the test of time.
When studying, Herag and other later learners could apply these paradigms directly to actual witch array designs without hesitation.
In these two months, through some small exercises, Herag already had basic abilities for witch array construction and design.
Next, naturally, it was time to verify.
Herag thought for a moment that his current ability was enough to complete the design of a Level 1 Witch Array.
However, the materials for a Level 1 Witch Array are generally quite expensive, and buying them just for practice felt wasteful, and reselling them wouldn't guarantee a quick sale.
Witch arrays require carriers, which are usually some bizarre materials.
Some materials are Demonized Items; some are items containing strong Magic Power; others are Casting Materials.
No matter which type of material, their price would not be cheap.
"Rather than buying materials myself for practice, it's better to take tasks directly..."
Herag felt this was the most efficient approach, as it allowed for practice while making money.
The only issue is, if he made mistakes, he would have to compensate financially.
"The reason I've come this far is solely through my efforts, with my infinite wisdom, tackling a minor Level 1 Witch Array should be no problem. Coupled with Shenlan's auxiliary support, the success rate remains high. Even if it fails, it's just compensating money, which I can afford at present."
After pondering for a moment, Herag took out the Talisman Stone and started searching for suitable tasks.
The task hall inside the Talisman Stone, once opened, was filled with a screen full of tasks, and refreshing them resulted in an entirely different list.
Fortunately, there was a search function; Herag searched for tasks related to witch array.
There were still many; then searching for Level 1 Witch Array tasks, the number slightly decreased.
Herag browsed through and saw a task titled: "Assist in creating a Level 1 Water-Resistant Witch Array, with the effect needing to cover a house area of a hundred square meters underwater, price negotiable."
"A Water-Resistant Witch Array, needing to cover a hundred square meters underwater, is this person planning to build an aquarium?" Herag muttered a couple of words, wizards always had peculiar hobbies.
But these had nothing to do with him. Checking the task issuer's name, Baron, he clicked the name and sent a message.
"I am willing to take your task, what's the price?"
Soon, Baron replied back: "Do you have the nerve to take on my task as someone who isn't even a member of the Witch Array Master Association?"
Herag was stunned; what kind of existence is the Witch Array Master Association? He had never heard of it, and moreover, how did the other person know he wasn't a member of this Witch Array Master Association?
