"Wait for me a moment."

Anne found a book from her personal space... The title of the book is very familiar to Balliard. It is a third-grade textbook - "Basic Formation".

Although Valliard and Anne are currently in the same third grade, Salvadion's unreasonable upgrade method has resulted in the vast majority of Guardian students receiving education at different paces.

Therefore, except for a few courses, where Anne's progress is slower, or simply newly added courses, at other times, Balliard and Anne will not take classes at the same time.

Balliard bought this textbook, but Ruiz hasn't started teaching this course yet.

According to Balliard's prediction, by the time Ruiz arrives to teach such a course, Balliard will have become a fourth-grade student and will need to learn new knowledge.

"...Do you still need to read the book?"

However, Annie's behavior of cramming...no, just taking a look at the book when it is ready for use is very unqualified as a mage.

"Of course, I am so young, but I don't have that much time to memorize all the knowledge. When Grandpa Ruiz is in class, he basically talks about theory and needs to practice it by himself, and I have not encountered the need

To use that knowledge to solve the difficult problems of the formation, you will naturally need to read the book."

Anne is a matter of course. Only those old mages have a despairing amount of knowledge in their heads. Talented players like Anne who have become extraordinary at a young age have the time to enrich their knowledge.

It's better to rely on talent to reach a higher level.

Of course, if you want to put it into practice, the training ground in Salva can meet this demand. However, the training ground lasts for several days. Why should a child be so offended?

Anyway, Anne was not happy. She would rather go to bed early at night and stay in bed in the morning to kill the extra time.

"makes sense."

Balliard had basically never listened to Ryze's classes. What Ryze taught in class was of little use to him, but he still bought the textbooks honestly.

After all, these textbooks talk about the most suitable path for mage cultivation and development developed by countless demigods. Balliard doesn't need it now, but it doesn't mean that he won't use it in the future.

He wants to reincarnate his humanity, gradually improve it, and then replace the mask he currently wears, which is bound to give his reincarnation of humanity a certain degree of strength.

Otherwise, after gaining unparalleled power in an instant, Balliard was worried that his humanity would be attracted by his own authority and strength in an instant, and then use those powers to ascend to the throne of God and hand everything over to his god.

sex.

If you do that, Valliard's purpose will be complete.

"How long will it take?"

Balliard didn't know whether Annie had listened to the lecture, and whether she took the lecture seriously. Anyway, if it took too long, Yasuo and Darius might have finished dealing with the ravens in the sky.

Then, it might be quicker to smash one room at a time than to touch it according to the energy flow in the magic circle.

"About ten minutes. According to the book, I have discovered several loopholes. This is not a profound formation. There is an optimal solution in the book."

Annie flipped through page after page. These books were actually rune coins. Rune coins were meant to inject rune energy into matter, change the properties of the matter, and then cut it into the shape of currency.

These books are just materials injected with a large amount of runic energy, cut into pages of thin paper, and then printed and bound.

As for the optimal solutions in the book... Salva only has the spare time to put them into practice.

Valliard didn't have much experience in how to break formations. He rarely encountered formations that could restrain him. Generally speaking, he just walked out and was done.

Even if you are trapped, you can slightly modify reality, create a loophole in these formations, and then get out.

Other extraordinary beings have more or less similar methods against formations. For example, Galen roars and forcibly stops the flow of energy in the formation, causing the formation to stop running. There is also Veigar, who uses his powerful talisman.

Wen energy distorts the space and destroys the foundation of the formation, or directly releases his own energy to explode those formations.

Optimal solution? What is that? Is it necessary?

But Salva really came up with something like that. It is obvious that Salva's guardians basically have their own means of breaking formations and eliminating negative effects, especially those who have reached the ninth level of transcendence and will.

When the power is used, do the various formations from the outside have anything to do with them?

To find this optimal solution, it takes a lot of time to experiment, and the types of formations used for verification must be at least thousands. After comparing and verifying one by one, the most universal method to crack the formation can be found.

This is the optimal solution found by Salva.

It is not the optimal solution for a certain formation, but the optimal solution for all formations at the same level.

Perhaps the optimal solution to a single formation is not as convenient and quick to obtain, but the advantage is its high universality. As long as they learn the optimal solutions to several different levels of formations, there will be basically no formation in Runeterra that can trap them.

However, this method can only teach people how to break formations. The basic method is like teaching people to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the elementary method is like solving one-variable equations, and the intermediate method is about multi-variable equations. All they learn is a solution method, and

Students are not taught why.

Why does one plus one equal two? How many students can understand similar concepts? If you don’t understand these concepts, how can you talk about setting up a magic circle? Is it embarrassing?

Except for those old mages who have really studied formations, even if other mages set up formations, they would be full of loopholes. The more advanced the formations, the more mistakes they would make.

"Okay, let's take a closer look at what the optimal solution is."

Do you want to go to Ryze and get some books on setting up magic circles? If you learn about your own humanity, you won't be afraid of being sealed in the future.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Valyard seemed to have gone to check on Yasuo and Darius, but Anne on his back would not allow him to leave.

"Found it! Now, Valliard, go over there!"

Anne poked Balliard with her finger, then pointed to the spot where the ravens had been.

"here?"

Although he was nominally Anne's "brother", why did he feel like he had become her father? Balliard sighed and walked over.

"Yes! Squat down!"

Anne was giving orders with great satisfaction. Seeing that Balliard had no reaction, she pouted and grabbed Balliard's hair.

"Squat down~Ballyard!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Why would he do such a thing like a pet dog? But who made Anne refuse to come down? Balliard had just established a good relationship with Anne. If he forced Anne to come down, wouldn't he offend this little girl again?

In comparison, although this kind of thing is demeaning, it is not unacceptable. After all, his mask has a "cowardly" character.

"A little shorter."

Anne waved her little hand to indicate to Valliard that she could not touch the ground.

"Why--"

Balliard had nothing to say and just lay down on the ground.

Annie stretched out her hand and touched the ground. A ball of rune energy surged in her hand and was then injected into the ground. But soon, Annie's rune energy was "vomited" out.

"What is this doing?"

Balliard hadn't read the textbook yet, so naturally he didn't understand what Anne was doing.

"To carve your own mark, the maintenance of these magic arrays requires absorbing runic energy from the heaven and earth, especially the low-level arrays, which cannot produce runic energy for their own needs.

According to the method in the book, the first step is to inject my own energy into the veins of the magic circle. Of course, it will be discharged, but it allows me to carve my own mark on the rune energy that maintains the operation of the magic circle, and then

According to the identification eye spell provided in the book, follow the flow of the mark to find the formation eye."

Anne explained briefly without mentioning the difficulty of doing this.

The most difficult step in this method is to inject rune energy. If you don’t grasp it just right so that your rune energy can flow with the energy in the magic circle for a short time, you will not be able to engrave your mark on other runes.

Literary energy.

For this reason, special techniques are needed to ensure the success rate of injecting runic energy.

"Already successful?"

Valliard lacks knowledge in formations, because unless he spends a long time studying formations, formations are really useless.

Either the strength of the object being dealt with is too low, or artifact-level treasures are used to set up the formation to make up for the deficiencies in the formation. Otherwise, the formation is rarely useful.

Moreover, the vast majority of cultivators in Runeterra follow the path of "bringing great power to oneself". Formations, which require the help of the power of heaven and earth, are completely contrary to the practice of mages.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many strange and indestructible things in Runeterra that needed to be sealed, I'm afraid no one would study the formation.

"Well, it's over there, hurry up!"

Anne sat on Balliard's back and patted him, seeming to like the feeling of riding a big horse.

"Understood, lovely lady."

From a person's perspective, especially from the perspective of someone close to Anne, Anne is indeed a very cute child, and even though Balliard did not adjust his perspective, he still said this

if.

Perhaps accompanying Anne to fool around can also improve his own humanity? After all, most of the Jin people who believe in him have only one identity, and that is the people of Balliard. In addition, as a king, there should be others around him.

I have my own relatives and my own friends.

Even if you sometimes take unscrupulous measures and sacrifice your relatives or friends, it does not mean that you do not need them.

The portrayal of human nature is not one-sided. The people of Jin's belief in Balliard will portray Balliard's humanity, and the choices Balliard himself makes will also portray his own humanity.

Especially when the people's belief in him conflicts with the decisions he makes, his humanity can be more perfectly portrayed. Humans are different from gods, and humans are contradictory.

Valyard followed the direction pointed by Annie, but walked to the side of Darius and Yasuo.

The raven in the sky...

"Have you not finished cleaning up these ravens? And the number of these ravens...has it increased again?"
