The threads form one complicated pattern after another, slowly moving with the flow of water.
In the air, on the grass, the floating clouds in the sky, the stones on the ground, and even when he waved his hand, he can see the complicated pattern formed by the fine threads.
The threads are like a net, everywhere and everywhere.
One word suddenly appeared in his mind: law.
The materialization of Law!
Su Han looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
He lowered his head again and looked at himself. An attribute panel appeared in his mind.

“F*ck!” Su Han was completely stunned.
“The golden finger that was thirteen years late has finally arrived?!”
…
The white-haired and white-bearded wandering mage was currently sitting under a large tree, explaining the truth of magic to a few youths in the village in a friendly manner.
A young girl with two ponytails asked, “Grandpa! Can you summon a fireball for us to see?”
The wandering mage chuckled and said, “Of course, but it will cost a copper coin each time.”
After the black-hearted wandering mage received the money, he chanted an incantation, and a fireball the size of a basketball appeared in his hand.
“This is the lowest level of magic, also known as the Fireball Spell. It summons the fire elements in the surroundings, and through the magic formula that you don’t understand, the fire elements will be transformed into a fireball spell in your hand.”
The surrounding children all had their mouths wide open as they shouted, “Amazing!”
The wandering mage was explaining the magic knowledge here.
At this moment, Su Han was sitting behind the group of children, looking at the fireball in surprise.
What Su Han was surprised about was not this wonderful magic, but what he saw in his eyes.
When the fireball was cast, he could clearly see the flow of magic power. He could see the surrounding laws rapidly gathering into countless complicated patterns, and the surrounding fire elements were rumbling and gathering in the three patterns.
A fireball was born from this.
Su Han looked at the three clusters that were lingering inside and outside the fireball and muttered, “That’s the law of ‘combustion’. That should be the law of ‘condensation’! And the law of ‘levitation’. That’s why the fireball can levitate in his hands.”
He clearly did not understand these things, but with just a glance, he clearly understood the meaning of the three patterns in his mind. Those three patterns were the three basic laws that converged into this fireball.
“There are a total of 7,321 fire elements, and one unit of mental strength is consumed every second…”
Su Han muttered to himself about the information he saw.
The wandering mage did not notice Su Han’s muttering.
He laughed and said, “The fireball spell is only the most basic magic. Magic is divided into nine levels. The higher the level of the magic, the stronger the power. and above the ninth level, there is something called forbidden spells. When it is used, an entire city is destroyed in an instant, leaving only ashes.”
A girl asked in surprise, “Grandpa, are you the most advanced mage?”
The mage smiled and said, “I am only a second-level roaming mage. The most advanced mage is also called the Saint Magister, and is also a great mage that surpasses the ninth-level mage. When people reach that level, their talent and elemental affinity are no longer of any use to them. They can casually cast a forbidden spell that can destroy the world. It is not too much to say that they are gods.”
A little girl who was listening with great interest blinked her eyes and asked, “But Grandpa, didn’t you say before that the more powerful the spell, the longer it will take to cast it?”
“Even if it’s a Saint Magister, how could he cast a forbidden spell so easily?”
The old mage stroked her head and smiled. “You don’t understand. When a Saint Magister casts a spell, he no longer needs to use magic formulas to construct the spell. What he uses is…”
“Laws.”
“Laws?” The surrounding children widened their eyes. Su Han’s heart skipped a beat.
“That’s right!” The roaming mage chuckled.
“Laws are the rules that maintain the operation of all things in the world. They are also the basis for the existence of magic. In this world, magic elements are everywhere. Every drop of them is the source of power. From wind, rain, thunder, lightning, sun, moon, and the stars, to a stone or a drop of water on the ground, an outstanding mage can gather these magic elements through his mind power and then use magic formulas to transform them, thus forming all kinds of dazzling spells.”
Su Han nodded to himself. His teacher had once told him that these were the basic theories of magic.
The wandering mage stroked his beard and said, “And the laws are the rules that maintain the operation of these magic elements. Why does the wind blow? What can turn into ice and fog, and why does fire burn? These are all because of the interference of the laws. And the magic formula that we mages use to cast magic is actually a trick that we grasp by observing the changes of everything in the world.”
He smiled and said, “Using a magic formula to borrow a large part of the laws of nature, then using the elements to form a magic. This is the basic theory of magic.”
The surrounding children all had blank looks on their faces, and the wandering mage smiled helplessly.
They were just children. How could they understand something so profound when he was talking to them?
