  Chapter 51 Pure Black Magic

  【You chose the inheritance of black magic. 】

  Mu You is not yet sure about the form of the reward for this inheritance, so he first clicked on the black magic inheritance he needs most, and at the same time holds his pocket watch, ready to give another "I want it all" once the opportunity arises.

  【Inheritance distribution in progress...】

  As this new reminder popped up, Mu You suddenly felt something extra in the back of his mind.

   It was a pitch-black cube, the surface of which was like a circuit board, engraved with countless luminous lines, and the lines were filled with a large number of mysterious star spirit runes.

  At the same time, a memory flooded into his mind, and Mu You quickly understood a lot of things amidst a burst of dizziness.

A long time ago, the earliest magicians in the star spirit world discovered that they could manipulate the "ether" in their bodies to change the world. This energy is also called spiritual power, spiritual energy, magic power, etc., so magic was born . But all the magic at that time was not very powerful, at least within the scope that humans could understand and safely manipulate. This kind of magic was called 'white magic'.

Until one day, a genius magician full of exploration spirit discovered that he could also manipulate the "ether" in the air to release magic. The ether in human beings is limited, but the ether in nature is infinite. The magic released by this method, The power is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary magic!

   Thus, black magic was born!

  However, some people soon discovered that black magic has its drawbacks. The result of allowing unlimited natural energy to pour into the body is that it is extremely easy to cause loss of control!

  The vast majority of spellcasters, after using black magic for the first time, directly lost their minds and transformed into some kind of monster permanently.

Only a small number of black magicians who are cautious enough, careful enough, and talented enough can temporarily get rid of this bad luck, and through continuous attempts, they gradually figured out the law: black magic must be performed according to a specific energy operation method , once there is any slight deviation in any step, it will immediately lead to out-of-control results.

  It’s like walking a winding high-altitude steel wire. Every step must be done with great care and precision, otherwise it will be a fatal end.

   It is precisely because of the characteristics of black magic that are extremely difficult to control, and the huge cost of losing control, that countless wizards spontaneously began to resist black magic, listing it as a forbidden technique, and strictly prohibiting anyone from using it or trying it.

This situation continued until seven hundred years ago, when a talented girl magician, together with eleven other black magic enthusiasts, worked out a way to overcome the curse of black magic: they stripped all black magic, One after another, the most core black magic underlying logic runes were analyzed, and a pure black magic original framework without any side effects was constructed.

  As long as the natural magic power passes through this 'frame' first, and then the output of the magic, it will become absolutely safe and will not get out of control black magic! This kind of black magic that has been "safely processed" is named "pure black magic", also called "secret technique", and the framework of that black magic is called "secret technique crystallization"...

After reading these memories, Mu You understood everything. The genius magician who created pure black magic was obviously Anthene Vivienne, and the Rubik's Cube in his mind at this moment was inherited from A crystallization of Vivienne's secret technique.

   Don't look at it as such a small piece, but it is the painstaking effort of Vivian and eleven other scholars who spent their entire lives researching it, and its value is inestimable!

   It only took Mu You two or three seconds to digest the above complex memories.

   After confirming that he had obtained the inheritance of black magic, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately pressed his pocket watch to go back in time.

  【Back in time, you return to before the option. 】

  【Please choose one of the following three inheritances left by witches to obtain. 】

   "It's really back!"

  Mu You was overjoyed, he could really 'have it all', he hurriedly chose the second item, Potions Inheritance.

   As a result, the prompt that popped up immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

  【You have chosen my black magic inheritance, don't be greedy! 】

"What?"

   Mu You was dumbfounded, this witch can actually see through his time travel?

   This was the first time he encountered such a situation since he got the time pocket watch.

   Seeing that five seconds were going to pass, Mu You hurriedly pressed the pocket watch again, and re-selected Potions inheritance.

  【You have already chosen my black magic inheritance, you can’t eat more than you want! 】

  The result is still the same, and the rejected text pops up again.

  But this time the statement has changed, 'greedy' has become 'greedy', and the tone has softened.

  This tiny change gave Mu You a glimmer of hope: maybe if you continue to persevere, it might make the witch change her mind?

  Thinking, he pressed his pocket watch and chose again.

  【You have chosen my black magic inheritance, don't be distracted by other things! 】

   "Backtrack!"

  【You have chosen my black magic inheritance, you can't chew it off! 】

   "Backtrack!"

  【You have chosen my black magic inheritance, the result of distraction is mediocrity! 】

  …

  Next, Mu You began to compete with the witch with a certain obsession.

  The witch's tone occasionally changes a little, but the general idea is that she doesn't want her inheritors to have two purposes.

Perhaps she herself has suffered in this regard. In short, she believes that a person's time is limited, and black magic and potions are all studies that require a lot of time to support. The achievements in both aspects are reduced to mediocrity, and only those who focus on one path can go to the extreme!

   Mu You can understand what the witch said, but he also has his own ideas.

   He doesn't think Potions and Dark Arts are in conflict. Potion science is a very useful tool. Whether it is used to make money, fight or even daily life, those magical potions can bring various conveniences to the study of black magic.

   Besides, there is a more important point: Muyou is not short of time!

  Having a time pocket watch, he can theoretically obtain infinite time by going back infinitely.

  So alone with him, there is no such thing as learning potions and slowing down the progress of black magic.

  It's a pity that he can't convey these thoughts to the other party through the game, he can only use the constant backtracking, hoping that the witch can feel his sincerity...

  【You have chosen my black magic inheritance, don't be distracted by other things! 】

   "Backtrack!"

  【You have chosen my black magic inheritance, you can't chew it off! 】

   "Backtrack!"

  …

  Mu swims again and again, looking back in time impatiently. He couldn't count how many times he went back. Anyway, he gradually felt the nausea that he felt when he pried the door of the witch's house that day.

"well…"

   Just when Mu Youshua felt a little desperate, suddenly, a slight sigh sounded in his ears.

  Instinctively, Mu You thought that someone had entered his home, and subconsciously looked back.

   As a result, there is nothing behind me! Except for Coke sleeping soundly in a large font on the bed in the distance, there are no traces of other living things in the whole room.

  At this moment, the hairs on Mu You's back stood up, almost thinking that he had run into a ghost.

   Fortunately, the following changes in the game dispelled his doubts.

  【Your persistence has impressed the witch, she decided to give you a chance. 】

  【I will not waste time on a dull person. Within ten days, if you concoct an excellent level or higher 'spirit summoning potion' and complete the summoning ceremony, it proves that you have the talent to learn potions. If you succeed in summoning me to the Otherworld, I will teach you Potions as well. 】
