Chapter 119 [City of Miracle]
The strange black mist was swirling around these rings. Shaya began to think that this was the power of the undead. It was a bit strange to hear Dodoro say this.
The power of life? But why do you look so evil and terrible?!
"It's very simple, because these vitality forces were forcibly deprived, and the magic that extracted vitality was improved by the magic that extracted the undead." Dora sneered in her mind.
The unlucky magician who died in Xia Ya's hands was hollowed out by Xia Ya and Dodoro. Sure enough, he found a well-hidden sheepskin book. After Xia Ya took it over, he took a few glances and found some words like ghost-like talismans.
"This is Majik language, a language dedicated to magicians, this is the magic to extract vitality." Dodoro immediately sighed, and he stared at the parchment scroll in Shaya's hand greedily.
"The last time Shirafenkya appeared in the imperial capital Osgilia. When he left a message at the church headquarters, he also wrote a magic spell talisman on the wall. That magic spell talisman is the way he used the undead magic to extract the undead spiritual power into a life force extraction technique!"
Duoduo Luo was a little excited: "Although the talisman was forbidden by the church, it was still spread through some channels. This is probably what Hirafenkya meant... But, unfortunately, the magic talisman left by this madman was not complete, at least he did not leave the method of complete extraction, so... if you practice according to that method... I don't know how many magicians have tried it for hundreds of years, but unfortunately they can't practice to the level of Hirafenkya back then."
Hirafenkya's spirit lies in: using shortcuts so that more people can gain power, but even shortcuts are not without thresholds - but his significance lies in the threshold he has greatly reduced.
To practice the "life curse technique" left by Hirafenkya, first of all, you must be a undead magician! You must learn the method of extracting soul power, and then on this basis, you can extract vitality power.
The second threshold seems to be the intentional stay of Hirafenkya himself... The method of cultivation he left behind is not complete, it is a broken version. According to this broken version of cultivation, practitioners will find that although they can extract other people's vitality, they will still consume their own vitality when performing magic - but the degree of consumption has been greatly reduced.
When a magic is cast, most of the energy consumes extracted, but at the same time, the magician's own vitality will also be consumed in a small amount.
This small amount is only relative. Although the consumption of each magic is small, it accumulates a lot, and the more magic is used... the magician himself will inevitably have a short life.
Hirafenkya deliberately did not publish the full version of the practice method, and no one could understand his intention.
When later generations speculated about this genius approach, some people proposed an idea that was accepted by a small number of people:
In essence, Hirafenkya is a "noble" guy. Even though he created several plague disasters and killed many lives, his intention, from beginning to end, is to pursue strength. Even this pursuit is a manifestation of "selflessness".
His significance is that he left a possibility for the world, opened a door and pointed out a new path! As for the road after it was pointed out, he ignored how to go on this path. And the world needs to use more of its wisdom to study.
If he directly publishes the full version of the method, then... it will cause people to be lazy: just practice according to this method.
So, the meaning of Hirafenkya is: He does not directly tell you how to do it, but uses his things to tell people: everything is possible!
In his words: "Let me drive a group of sheep with enough numbers, and I can challenge a magician! Let me drive a larger number of sheep, and I can even challenge a stronger existence..."
What is a more powerful existence?
It makes people imagine infinitely...
Unfortunately, later generations did not implement this intention of Hirafenkya.
The life curse he left behind was not carried forward in the hundreds of years after his death.
On the one hand, it is because of the church's restrictions and suppression of the curse of life, and on the other hand, it is because the incomplete version of the magic has many flaws, and later generations did not have a genius like Hirafenkya, who made up for this incomplete version.
If... every time you cast magic, you will reduce your life span by several years, most people still cannot accept this price, unless it is a situation where you die together in a desperate situation...
The third reason is the most critical: the incomplete version of the life curse technique has a kind of "evil" defect when practicing it!
If it is the full version of the life curse, then what is the result of cultivation?
Theoretically, as long as there are enough life forms around, the magician's power is infinite! Just like what Hirafenkya himself said, "There are enough sheep"!
Anyway, you don’t have to consume your vitality!!
However, the incomplete version of the Life Curse Technique, such infinite power effect is gone! Because the magician himself still needs to consume vitality, but... the degree of consumption has been reduced a lot.
However, such incomplete effects have brought about a subtle result:
Level division.
And this result makes people sigh.
Other magic has levels, low-level middle-level high-level, first-level to ninth-level.
And Hirafenkya's genius lies in his ability to ignore the level!
The incomplete version of the life curse technique has a level division. This level division is no longer magic, but the level of the magician's own vitality.
Or... it is determined by the amount of vitality you are willing to give!
If you are willing to sacrifice more vitality, the power you gain will be strong, and vice versa.
Many people cannot understand why Hirafenkoya deliberately created such a rule after breaking the rules - some even viciously speculated that Hirafenkoya was deliberately revenge on the world.
Xia Ya did not immediately agree to Dodoro's request, but temporarily sent away the disappointed magician entourage, and was alone, patiently asking Dora for advice:
"The curse of life is generally divided into three types of power, so the correct name is not the curse, but the 'curse'. The first type is the divination class." Dora's voice became serious: "Don't laugh! What's ridiculous about divination class? Prediction is originally a magical magic power. Whether it is the senior clergy of Byzantine or the high priest of Odin, they all have the abilities in this area. The curse of life itself comes from magic itself, and it is not surprising that it has the abilities in this area."
"The second category is blessing and blessing assistance. It includes mental assistance and physical assistance: courage, ** healing healing, strength, speed, and even life blessings, etc...."
"The third category is aggressive magic, which is exactly the opposite of the second category. It deprives the enemy of courage, deepens the enemy's injuries, absorbs the enemy's vitality, etc.... Because the life spell does not belong to other systems, it does not have any attack attributes of the wind, fire, water and soil system."
"According to the summary and classification of life spells by human magicians over the past few hundred years, the highest life spells are divided into nine types of spells:
Insight: divination.
Courage: auxiliary category.
Therapy, also known as life supplement: auxiliary type.
Power Blessing: Auxiliary
Speed blessing: auxiliary category.
Deprivation of courage, or panic technique: attack type.
Life deprivation, also known as damage deepening: attack type.
Strength deprivation, that is, weakening technique: attack type.
Speed deprivation, that is, slow technique: attack type.
It can be seen that auxiliary classes and attack classes almost completely reverse the effects of the same magic.
From the perspective of level division, the Life Curse is now divided into four levels based on the amount of vitality the magician is willing to sacrifice.
The first level can have three spells, and automatically obtain insights from divination, plus one for auxiliary and attack.
The second level has five spells. On the basis of the first level, you can get one of the auxiliary and attack types.
At the third level, the spells that can be cast have become seven spells, which are still ones added to the auxiliary and attack categories.
At the fourth level, you can fully cast nine magic items.
However, even so, the existing magicians who practiced according to the incomplete version of the life spell reached the fourth level and had nine magicians, which was far from comparable to the Hirafenkya of that year. In terms of strength, they could only be comparable to that of an intermediate magician.
Therefore, the Life Spell should have a higher level, but... there is no complete version of the cultivation method, so you can't gain more cognition."
He is worthy of being a knowledgeable genius among the dragon clan. Dora explained it very in detail, but after it was explained, Dora asked Xia in a strange tone: "Are you really going to let your magic escort practice this kind of magic? His magic power is too low. If you practice life spells, it is a way to quickly improve your strength, but..."
"It's just something?" Xia Ya laughed.
Dora snorted: "You will know from now on! How can the improvement of power be so simple! Sheila Fenkya did not leave a complete cultivation method back then, but deliberately wrote a broken version. I think, I am afraid it has other meanings! Moreover, have you discovered that the nine existing life spells, in fact, if they encounter a duel between magicians, almost no effect will be very good! Whether it is attack magic or auxiliary magic, it seems to focus on physical power, and ignore magic power! It does not have magic attack and magic defense.
Such a life spell, if the enemy is a warrior, may have the upper hand, but once you encounter a duel between magicians, do you think it is slow, weak, or even deepening damage... for a magician who chants spells at a distance, how effective does it have?"
Xia Ya was stunned.
"Although the magician you met today has practiced life spells, he uses undead magic when attacking you! This guy is a undead magician. It is not surprising that the undead magician practices a little life spell, but now no undead magician will use his own main power on the spot. For example, today, when this magician attacks you, the magic he uses is a kind of "** decomposition technique" in undead magic. This is a standard undead magic."
Xia Ya remembered the terrifying black light emitted by the magician, which could "melt" people's **, leaving only a skeleton, and couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.
If it weren't for the Dragon Scale's defense today, I would have become a skeleton now!
"In short, my opinion is that if the life spell, if there is no complete version of Hirafenkya, then the existing incomplete version is not of great value, especially when the enemy you are facing is a magician, a simple life spell cannot resist the attacks of any magician at all. At least there is no magic shield, and the life spell cannot resist the attacks of any magic. Among these nine magics, there is no defensive magic!"
Xia Ya thought for a while, and first gave up the idea of practicing this kind of magic: What a joke! It is necessary to consume his own vitality! Although the consumption has been reduced a lot. However, he is young and he doesn't want to use a few more magics, he becomes a bad old man.
What's more, even if it is a life spell, although the requirements for magic are not high, at least some low magic power must be used as the basis. And Xia Ya... he is not a magician.
"Then... let that guy Duoduoluo practice!"
Xia Ya took out the parchment roll, looked carefully for a while, and made a decision.
"Your decision... I hope you won't regret it." Dora's tone was a little mocked, and the turtle felt a little uneasy, but no matter how he asked, Dora would no longer respond.
Everyone rested in the woods for a night that night. This time the attack caused heavy damage to the group, especially Afrey Carter's Wolf Tooth Warriors lost most of their strength. It can be foreseeable that even if they went to the imperial capital, they could not achieve any good results in this competition.
The people of Landis did not seem to be too dissatisfied, and Guro even enthusiastically sent some medicine for injury. However, Chara did not say anything to Gurodo because he was injured.
The next morning, Xia Ya called the magician entourage. Dodoluo obviously didn't sleep all night, and the guy's eyes were covered with blood.
"First of all, I need to explain it to you." Xia looked at Dodoro's eyes: "You must know more about life spell magic than me. After all, you claim to be a magician... Well, okay, don't stare, even if you are really a magician. Then you should know that life spell magic requires consuming your vitality. The practice method left by Hirafenkya is not complete. After you practice this magic, it is very likely...well, it is not very likely, but it will definitely lose a part of your life. Are you willing?"
Dodorona's vulgar face was full of perseverance, and he replied without hesitation: "I do!"
"...Why?" The magician's courage burst out surprised Xia Ya: this guy is usually timid and greedy.
Duoduo suddenly raised his chest, and a light seemed to shine on his vulgar and ugly face. He clenched his fists and shouted: "Because I am a magician! I, Duoduoduo, is a noble and powerful magician! The magician should not be a groom, nor a blacksmith! The magician should be a noble and powerful existence!! The magician should be a strong man standing in the clouds! Not a wild dog rolling in the mud!!"
After hearing this, Xia Ya looked at Duoduoluo with a smile: "Yi? It seems that you guy has accumulated a lot of resentment in your heart..."
Duoduo immediately pulled his neck and smiled respectfully: "Where! I dare not! Master, even if I am a magician, I am your humble servant and entourage..."
"Then...just as you wish!"
Xia Ya's decision fell into the magician's ears like a gospel of a god. Duoduolu was immediately overjoyed, jumped up and cheered, almost hugging the turtle and kissing him fiercely.
Fortunately, the rustic bull kicked Duoduoluo away with one kick in time. Although the rustic bull was also seriously injured, he still had the strength to kick Duoduoluo away.
In the morning, Xia Ya and Dodoluo separated from the others and quietly walked into the deepest part of the woods. He clearly told Guluo and others: My entourage needs a quiet place to cast magic.
Gu Luo and others also expressed their respect very consciously, so they would not send anyone to secretly peep - no matter what, peeping at a magician to cast magic is a dangerous thing, not to mention that Gu Luo has received the order that he has made friends with Xia Ya, so he naturally would not anger this guy.
Walking to the deepest part of the woods, Shaya took out the parchment.
In addition, there is something found from the Dead Magician - this is a magic scroll, a simple contract scroll.
Xia Ya threw the contract scroll in front of Dudoro, touched his chin, and smiled: "You should recognize what this is, right?"
Duoluo only glanced at it and his face looked a little ugly. He was silent for a while and smiled bitterly: "I know that this is a magic contract scroll. Once used, the magic contract will exist in the soul and must not be violated. If it is violated, the magic laws will backfire and the power of the defaulter will be taken back..."
