This was Dorothy's first impression of this bookstore as soon as she entered the door.
This is a standard witch shop. It looks like a small shop from the outside, but in fact there is something inside. The exquisite space extension spell expands the space in the shop almost a hundred times. The neatly arranged bookshelves are like a forest, especially
The surrounding bookshelves and the high walls create a library feel.
No, it should be said that this is a library called a bookstore. The rich collection of books here has exceeded the scope of ordinary bookstores.
However, although the space is large and there are not many customers in the store, the overall environment is very quiet. No one is making any noise inside. Even if there is communication, the guests will try to get closer and whisper softly.
This is of course due to the fact that witches generally respect knowledge, but I think it is more because they are in awe of the reputation of the sage shopkeeper.
Dorothy likes this kind of environment. She is a homebody who likes to be quiet and does not like to move. Moreover, as a witch on the path of omniscience, this feeling of being in a sea of books and surrounded by knowledge is quite wonderful.
"Maybe I shouldn't engage in real estate in the future, but it seems good to open a bookstore."
She thought so in her heart.
"Sister, let's go over there. The textbooks are all over there."
Alice gently pulled the corner of her clothes, pointed in a direction on the second floor, and whispered.
As a witch who takes the path of omnipotence, she has never been interested in reading and learning. In her opinion, all she needs to do is be able to use the required spells. As for the principles of the spells, whatever, as long as she can use them.
good.
Therefore, Alice's interest in bookstores is actually average, just like Dorothy's interest in picking out clothes. The little witch is eager to go straight to her goal, grab the textbooks and run away.
She has a lively personality and does not like the dull and depressing atmosphere of the library.
However, Dorothy was not in a hurry at all. In front of her, Alice was heading straight to her destination. She was walking slowly while looking at the bookshelves on both sides, trying to find if there were any books that she was interested in.
"Huh...."
Her eyes swept over the bookshelf beside her, and she stopped. A book on the bookshelf caught her attention.
"Detailed Explanation of the Evolutionary Genealogy of Witch's Bloodline Talents and Specialties".
The reason why witches can achieve their current status is actually closely related to the powerful evolutionary ability of this race. They can always evolve themselves according to needs. For example, if they are burned by fire today, their fire resistance will evolve, and tomorrow
After almost drowning in the water, you may soon be able to master the ability to breathe underwater like a fish.
I even feel envious when I see a bird flying, wishing I could grow a pair of wings and soar in the sky. As long as this belief is strong enough, maybe the witch will finally be able to grow a pair of bird-like wings.
The early witches relied on this power of evolution to overcome difficulties step by step and gradually grew up.
It's just that the evolution of witches at that time was, at best, called learning from nature, but at worst, it was just a blind chicken evolving randomly. It evolved wherever it thought and it was completely unsystematic. But today, this evolutionary ability has long been eliminated by witches.
They have studied thoroughly and can control themselves.
This kind of cheating evolutionary ability also comes at the cost of consuming magic power. In other words, this is a way of expressing the omnipotence of magic power. However, such evolution consumes not just simple magic power, but the upper limit of magic power.
In popular game terms, what is burned is not the amount of mana, but the length of the mana bar.
However, it is very difficult to increase the upper limit of magic power, so the number of evolutions a witch can have in a period of time is actually limited.
So looking at it this way, there is no need to specialize in evolving things such as underwater breathing that can be solved with a simple magic. This kind of low-value evolution is simply a huge waste.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The early witches were trapped in their vision. The only things they could contact and learn from were some beasts in nature. They evolved such things as the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and the eyes of an eagle.
The capabilities and potential are limited.
But today's witches have a very broad vision. All the extraordinary races in the multiverse are their targets for learning and imitation, especially the three old natural disaster races.
Angels, demons, dragons, these natural disaster races are simply the best templates for witches to evolve. Many witches are specifically evolving in the direction of these three major races.
Of course, as a near-god race, the three major natural disaster races are not so easy to pirate. If a witch wants to evolve from scratch into a natural disaster race, it requires too much magic power. Generally, the only way is to be omnipotent.
Only witches on the road to omnipotence can afford this kind of consumption. This process of continuous self-evolution is originally the main way for witches on the road to omnipotence to become stronger.
Fortunately, this power of evolution is not a one-time thing. The results of evolution can be passed down through blood. Therefore, if ordinary witches cannot finish evolving, they will pass their goals to the next generation. If the descendants continue to work hard from generation to generation, they will eventually be able to achieve success.
You can reach that goal in one day.
Many traditional and closed witch families follow this path.
Generally speaking, the evolutionary abilities that a witch inherits from her parents are called talents. A witch will inherit at least one talent from each parent, and a witch with excellent talents may inherit multiple talents from her parents.
As for the abilities that a witch can evolve on her own, they are called expertise.
Except for the different names, there is no difference between talents and expertise. If I have to say, the talents brought from the mother's womb will be more suitable for the witch than the acquired expertise, so the effect will be slightly stronger.
Previous point.
In short, today's witches have basically thoroughly studied the evolutionary ability of their own race. They have even developed a special evolutionary ability map to combine the extraordinary powers of the extraordinary races they have come into contact with during their campaigns over the years.
Thoroughly research and register.
Different levels are also divided according to the strength of these abilities, which are N, R, SR, and SSR from low to high. The more advanced the ability is, the more powerful it will be. However, it will take more time to evolve accordingly.
A lot of magic power limit.
And the name of that book is "Detailed Explanation of the Evolutionary Genealogy of Witch's Bloodline Talents and Specialties".
This is knowledge that witches on the path to omnipotence must learn, but it doesn't matter to witches on the path to omniscience like Dorothy.
After all, the witch on the path of omnipotence relies more on talent and expertise to become powerful, and magic is only an auxiliary. But the witch on the path of omniscience relies more on knowledge and magic, and talent and expertise are auxiliary.
She had heard of the name of this book before, but had never actually read it, but now that she happened to encounter it, she seemed to feel the guidance of fate, and she couldn't help but reach out.
Then her hand touched the other hand, and it seemed that she was not the only one who fell in love with this book.
Dorothy suddenly woke up from the state of being possessed, and she turned her head and looked around her.
