Chapter 528 Black Magic Teaching (Part 1)
In terms of inheritance, Wanda Maximoff's seniority was higher than Salomon's, but she didn't know it herself, and Salomon was not interested in telling her about it. He deliberately sent Pietro back to his room, leaving Wanda to teach alone.
The book "Necronomicon" was taken back by Kama Taj when it first wiped out the "Star Wisdom" cult in Providence, Rhode Island in the 19th century, and was sealed (magically and physically) and stored in the depths of the library-but it was just a copy, and the real original had always existed in the seal inside the Kama Taj dungeon. Only Salomon, the Supreme Mage, and some old mystics knew about it.
After Salomon returned from Salem, what Karma Taj wiped out again was nothing more than the remnant organization of the "Star Wisdom" cult remnants, which was incomparable to the scale of the last Karma Taj eradication. He carefully selected the spells in the book, excluding the spells of summoning creatures from the outer planes, summoning the gods, and contacting spells, for fear that Wanda would learn these knowledge and get in touch with unspeakable creatures.
Even though the book was recovered by Karma Taj, there are still some copies of copies existing in this world. His Holiness had been to the Vatican library, from where he recovered a copy of the Necronomicon, along with other books on black magic, and killed a cardinal who was studying black magic. Sithorn will definitely send the lost magic to Wanda by any means. What Salomon is doing now is to improve Wanda's recognition ability and prevent Wanda from becoming the passage of the Great Shadow.
Of course, this is no easy task.
The expulsion spells and protection spells he taught made Wanda confused, and she didn't know what they were for. But he still insisted that Wanda learn how to expose demons, how to expel demons, and create spell barriers. He believed that this was the most important lesson for Wanda since she learned magic systematically, because she must know what threats awaited her in this world. "We are all delicious food in the eyes of demons, Maximov." He said with a very serious expression that could scare Wanda, "Magic is not free. I don't think you can stick to the kineticist's way of doing things from beginning to end. But if you accidentally go out of bounds, the knowledge I teach now will come in handy."
"I won't go out of bounds!" Wanda was a little unhappy, "You taught me how to cast spells to be safe."
"Fate will not let you and me off so easily, Wanda." Salomon showed her the three rings on his right hand. Under the thin bright white light, the three perfectly cut gemstones refracted brilliant light. "That's what I thought at the time, and I know how to cast spells safely," he said, "but the situation forces us to make choices. You have seen the rings on my finger—these three rings once burned me. If it weren't for my teacher, I would have died. I may never be able to take them off. You will encounter similar situations, but I hope you will find a way to remedy when you are forced to make a choice. This is the fate of spellcasters, and we are always in danger."
"But this spell called [Flesh Barrier] is too disgusting. It actually requires an ounce of flesh bitten off by the caster! And this [Eye of Light and Darkness] actually requires the blood of innocent people!" Wanda showed disgust, "Only this [Old Seal Consecration] is not so disgusting. Are these really protective spells?"
"Welcome to the world of dark magic. Believe me, I've seen more disgusting magic than these, and black magic is such a stinky thing." Salomon said with his head tilted. "If you accidentally step outside the boundaries of kineticism. Abandon reason and use your instincts, you will need these magics to save your life."
"You have been mentioning instinct, teacher. You have been mentioning it since I started learning." Wanda said, "But you didn't tell me, what would happen if I used instinct to cast spells? Will monsters come to me?"
"Yes, and it's a very difficult monster." Salomon said, "No one's talent comes for nothing, and getting talent means paying a price. Remember the equivalent exchange I mentioned in the first class? This is the truth of time balance, and magic cannot be separated from this category."
"So who gave me this talent?"
"One of the many magical entities I mentioned to you is also the source of my magic power." Salomon said calmly, his obsidian eyes reflected the pale light in the room, "We live in a dangerous universe, and magic is the greatest source of danger. We use it, we observe it, and we suppress it. You must remember—"
"Always be vigilant."
"Yes, I hope you will always remember this sentence." He nodded, "Knowledge is power and danger, and ignorance is the greatest luck. Be patient and measure your curiosity. I don't want you to die accidentally during the learning process."
"I see." It seemed that Wanda had temporarily given up pursuing the secrets that Salomon had hidden. Salomon did not have the idea of pursuing this matter immediately. This kind of thing cannot be done immediately - it took several years for the Venerable Professor Salomon to do this, and Wanda, who has lived among ordinary people for a long time, needs a longer time to accept it. He needs to instill ideas into Wanda frequently, so that she can understand the dangers of outer dimensions and magical entities in outer dimensions.
"What we're going to look at next is [Volvados' Purifying Fire], which is the key point. This is a spell that can return creatures from outer dimensions to their original planes; there's also [Servant Return], which can make it easier for you to encounter spellcasters who summon monsters. There are many variants of this spell, let me explain them one by one..."
Wanda studied very seriously, and her talent in black magic was extremely powerful.
Salomon did not let her perform any dangerous black magic, but began to teach her how to carve the old seal and how to activate the old seal - Sithorn is an ancient god, the god of chaos, and the old seal has a certain inhibitory effect on Sithorn. Not only that, the old seal also has an effect on the ancient gods who walked on the land in the past, because their ancestors are inseparable from the indescribable gods, but the effect is not as great as that of Sithorn, who has been demonized.
This is the secret guarded by Kama Taj, which tells the story of the origin of the Creator, the nature of human beings and the darkest mysteries of the universe. Salomon didn't tell Wanda why the seal worked, she only knew the function but not the principle. Wanda didn't mind at all. Her past homeless life taught her that no one is nice to others for no reason. She knew that Salomon must have his own purpose in teaching her, but this did not prevent her from temporarily deceiving herself, regarding Salomon as a close friend and mentor.
After all, Salomon never did anything to hurt them, even if it was easy for him. He sometimes brought a delicious breakfast and did his best to teach Pietro science so they could go to school when they were out. Even if Wanda discovered that there were many secrets hidden in Salomon's heart, she wisely chose not to explore them and let herself be blinded by appearances, because she didn't want to destroy the fragile relationship between Salomon and them-this was the rare warmth she felt from others over the years, and she was very reluctant.
Ask for a ticket!
