0168 Advance level, official wizard, my destiny is mine!
[Mental Power: 21]
[Spell power: 203]
Holding Klein's crystal ball in hand, Levi looked happy.
"Finally an official wizard."
After becoming a formal wizard, Levi's mental power broke through the apprentice limit of 20 points and reached 21 points. It seemed to be only an improvement of 1 point, but after becoming a formal wizard, because of the "quantity" of mental power,
, a qualitative change has also occurred in terms of "qualitative", so the upper limit of magic power represented by 1 point of mental power has changed from 10 points in the apprenticeship stage to 20 points today.
This means that formal wizards have more powerful spellcasting abilities and can cast one-level spells many times in a row without worrying about mana. As for the mana consumption of tricks, for formal wizards, the consumption is not worth mentioning.
.Of course, similarly, except for a few auxiliary tricks, most attack and defense tricks will hardly play any role in the formal wizard stage.
"It's not easy. After coming to this world for 26 years since the Millennium of the Holy Hui Calendar, I, Li Wei, have finally become an official wizard. From now on, a spell enters my brain, and my fate depends on me...
...Oh, forget it, I just left the novice village, so I better not say such things that only big men are qualified to say."
Li Wei, who is now nearly forty years old, couldn't help but sigh.
Although he became an official wizard late, his actual wizard training time was only about ten years. In Levi's opinion, at this speed, other than the Son of the Elements, even the dual-line affinity should not be able to compare with him. Nagag
He has a dual-line affinity, and he came into contact with the meditation method not long after Levi. He even has a three-ring wizard as his mentor. He is still a high-level wizard apprentice and has not advanced to a formal wizard.
Therefore, Li Wei's cultivation speed is already among the best in this sea area. Of course, he cannot compare with those proud sons who are themselves sons of elements and have the support of great forces and resources. He started late and can only catch up slowly.
For him, the most difficult thing is the process of just getting started. Once he is received on the proficiency panel, he can start to surpass him in corners.
The reason why Li Wei became an official wizard so late is simply because he spent most of his time in the world, constantly looking for traces of wizards, which wasted a lot of time. There is no way, like Winnie, as soon as she was born
Just in Rome, people like Livy were born as cowards and could only play as little lords in the human world.
In fact, it can’t be considered a waste of time. What helped Li Wei the most along the way was not the way of wizards, but the mundane breathing methods that wizards looked down upon, and the way of knights who punched to the flesh. There is no knight.
There is no official wizard Li Wei today. Li Wei knows this very well in his heart.
Now, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After becoming an official wizard, at least in this sea area, Li Wei was already a real high-level combat force.
As a knight, he is now in the [Legendary Three-Dimensional State]. Coupled with his formal wizarding status, it is no exaggeration to say that under the second level, Levi is invincible.
After advancing to a level one wizard, Levi also needs to think carefully about his future plans.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the way of chivalry. Now Li Wei also needs the three breathing methods of liver golden horn, phoenix and black whale. Among them, golden horn and phoenix are the most important. After the golden horn reaches the limit, Levi can let black
The fusion and mutation of snakes and golden horns can break limits on the one hand, and create a new breathing method of their own on the other. As for the phoenix, it is related to the life-saving physique, and Levi naturally cannot give up. Black
Relatively speaking, whales are not in a hurry. They will just take it easy in the future.
In general, Levi has reached a bottleneck period in the way of knighthood. During this period, what he can do is, on the one hand, to break the limit of the Black Snake Breathing Technique, and on the other hand, to transform into the [Legendary Six-Dimensional State].
The way of the wizard will be Li Wei's next key development direction. After he becomes a formal wizard, the big stage of the wizard world will be completely opened for Li Wei.
After reaching the fourth level of the earth meditation method, Levi is already familiar with breaking the limits of the three major meditation methods of the deep sea, the sun, and the night crow. Even without the blessing of Naga, Li Wei is confident that he can advance other meditation methods to the fourth level.
, so you don’t need to worry too much about meditation, everything will happen naturally.
As for spells, Levi currently has only one first-level spell that he has mastered, and that is [Rock Body].
Levi————
Body of Rock: Level 4 (1/20000)
…
It is worth mentioning that after Li Wei introduced [Rock Body], the once fourth-level limit of [Stone Skin Technique] directly broke through the limit and transformed into Li Wei's newly mastered [Rock Body].
This made Li Wei overjoyed for a long time. He found that his vision was right. To learn spells, you must learn spells that have a clear way to advance in the future. In this way, the proficiency gained in low-level spells can be perfectly inherited to advanced levels.
of spells.
In this way, Levi saves a lot of time to improve the proficiency of [Rock Body] and can start directly from the fourth level. In the future, he can also practice the fireball technique in this way.
Nowadays, Li Wei's flesh and blood body is different from before. Among the flesh and blood, some spell runes can be vaguely seen flickering on the bones and flowing in the blood. This passive type of defensive spell does not require casting and chanting.
Yes, it will work after it is cured. Of course, although there is no need to cast spells and chants, it still needs to consume mana. If Levi's mana is exhausted, the body of rock will become ineffective.
In general, with Levi's current solid black scales and his rock body, the combination of these two defenses has brought Levi's defense to an extremely terrifying level.
In addition to the body of rock, the first-level spells that Levi plans to practice are mainly the fireball and big fireball of the burning faction; the summoning of the undead, green smoke escape, and ghost fire body of the death faction; the water prison of the ocean faction and the insect school of
Touch of the Scarab.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the mental power level of a first-level wizard, in theory, you can only learn up to twenty first-level spells, plus one second-level spell for advancement.
But in fact, as far as Li Wei knows, there are very few wizards who master twenty first-level spells. Mastering more than five first-level spells is enough to be called a senior wizard, and those who master ten first-level spells are
, you can try to advance to the second level. The reason for this is that firstly, in most small wizard organizations, there are not so many first-level spells to learn, and secondly, it is very time-consuming to practice the spells to the point of proficiency.
In terms of time, most wizards simply don't have that much time to master twenty first-level spells. Therefore, at the first-level wizard stage, the choice of spells is also very particular.
Among the first-level spells that Levi is about to learn, the Great Fire Ball and Will-O-Wisp have higher mental requirements. They require the mental level of a senior wizard, which starts at 30 points of mental power. Levi is not able to learn them yet.
Levi can start the construction of spell models for other spells.
Next, when Li Wei has mastered all the meditation methods of other factions to the fourth level, he can form a set of coordinated spell systems for attack, defense, control, escape and life-saving.
After having stabilized his realm at home for a while, Levi thought for a while and decided to tell Mai Lin and the tower master that he had broken through to the first level.
In the Gray and White Tower, he didn't have to hide his strength. In fact, he couldn't hide it. With the mental strength level of Mai Lin and the tower master, it was easy to see the details of Li Wei's cultivation.
Only by showing one's own talent and potential can he be trained by the wizard organization. If Levi hadn't shown his talent as a legendary knight and pharmacist, he wouldn't have been able to get the attention of the tower master and Mai Lin, nor would he have been able to get the attention of the organization.
Care and respect, and the Gray Tower is not a dark wizard organization. There are no wizard elders who think about harming the younger generation all day long, so there is no need to hide your strength and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.
Levi came to the third floor of the White Tower and found Teacher Mai Lin chatting with Senior Sister Winnie. Winnie is now an official wizard, and her status in the tower has also increased. However, Winnie's character is not enough, so she is still allowed to experience this aspect in the tower.
Through experience, Mai Lin often said something like: "Winnie, you have to learn more from Li Wei in this aspect."
"Teacher, senior sister, you are all here." Li Wei smiled.
"Little Levi, have you become an official wizard?" Mai Lin could tell the difference in Levi at a glance.
"Yes, teacher, I have advanced to the first level." Li Wei smiled.
"Congratulations, junior brother! What a happy event, haha. Our tower now has four first-ring wizards. Now, it's only one less than Whale Song Island." Winnie clapped her hands and said.
Li Wei smiled and thanked him. After chatting with Winnie and the teacher, Li Wei left. The tower master recently received the death school inheritance from Harlant and began to study the knowledge of the death school, determined to get inspiration from it to realize his own soul.
The idea of transplantation. In addition, the inheritance of several other dark wizards, such as the inheritance of the spider witch of the insect school, the inheritance of the bone wizard of the death school, etc., the tower owner also serves as the inheritance resource of the Gray Tower, the Tower of Mortal
The official wizards inside can all be purchased with points and Taishi. Of course, they are only allowed to practice by themselves and are not allowed to spread to others. These are bound by corresponding contract-type confidentiality spells. Once violated, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Soon, news of Li Wei's advancement to the first level spread inside the tower.
The tower owner wanted Li Wei to move into the White Tower. Levi thought about it and did not refuse. He moved from his small home on the ninth floor of the Gray Tower to the more spacious second floor of the White Tower and lived downstairs from Mai Lin.
The various facilities in the White Tower are more complete. Because there is an independent isolation circle, the privacy is better. Moreover, Levi is also an official wizard now, so it is appropriate to move in.
So far, the White Tower has seven floors. Except for the first floor, the other floors are already full of people. The second floor is Levi, the third floor is Mai Lin, the fourth floor is Winnie, and the fifth and sixth floors are
Marco and Tim, the seventh floor tower masters.
Perhaps when the first tower owner Salman built the Wizard Tower, he never thought that one day the small organization he created would be so prosperous.
However, after Levi and Winnie advanced to wizards, among the remaining high-level wizard apprentices in the tower, there are not many who have the hope of advancing to the first level. For a long time in the future, there may not be new blood injected into the first level.
.
After Levi moved, teachers Marco and Tim sent congratulations one after another. Manla was also really happy for Levi's current achievements. Being able to become a friend of an official wizard is obviously something worthy of pride and celebration.
It's rare for everyone to be so happy. The tower owner thought for a while and said: "Let's have a banquet tonight. Let's eat and drink together and be happy. Today, everyone will not practice and study. There are many happy events in our tower during this period. First of all, Winnie
I have advanced to an official wizard, and now Levi has also become an official wizard, hahahaha, I haven’t been so happy for a long time, it’s such a blessing, it’s fitting to celebrate.”
"Okay, I agree." Mai Lin agreed.
In an instant, the Gray-White Tower became lively.
In the square in front of the Twin Towers, Yeolman's slender body formed a circle. Everyone ate delicious food, enjoyed fine wine, talked freely, and were filled with emotions around Yeolman. Yeoman enjoyed the food carefully prepared by Levi.
The roasted meat of a ring of sea snakes, the precious ingredients of the ring of sea snakes were taken out by Levi, and the remaining sea snake meat was used as a delicacy for Leviathan and Yeorman.
The tower owner took a sip of wine and laughed: "I knew that Levi could advance to the level of a formal wizard. When he first came to the tower, I knew that this kid was not an ordinary person. Now that I look at it, I see people
His vision is really good."
Mai Lin rolled her eyes at the tower master and said: "Pull him down, it's just to put money on your own face, you are doing it as an afterthought."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The tower owner was laughing and did not refute, looking very funny.
It's hard to imagine that this is a powerful three-ring wizard.
Levi also drank some wine. It was naturally impossible for him to get drunk. He just felt that it was great to find such a warm and reliable organization after being in the wizarding world for so long.
Moreover, after becoming a formal wizard, the feeling that had always been suppressed in my chest was no longer there. I now felt as if the sky was high and birds could fly, and the sea was as wide as fish could leap.
After drinking to the fullest, the tower master danced the "basketball dance", jumping up and down, which was ridiculous. Under the encouragement of the tower master, everyone danced the dance of their respective hometowns. Those who had a dance partner asked for a dance partner, and those who did not have a dance partner.
It is beautiful on its own.
"Junior Brother Li Wei, let's dance." Senior Sister Winnie had a wavy golden shawl and was wearing a low-cut dress. She was sexy and charming. Her face was red and she said with a sweet smile.
"Okay." Li Wei thought that it would be disrespectful to refuse Senior Sister Winnie at this time, and it was just a dance.
After all, when he was in the human world, Li Wei was also an aristocratic dancer who practiced for two and a half years, a person who had pushed this most useless life skill to the limit.
So Li Wei danced very well and had great temperament. Together with Senior Sister Winnie, he became a big star in the middle of the dance floor. Everyone applauded and said that the two talented people should be together and so on. They made all kinds of noises. In an instant,
, Li Wei seemed to be dreaming back to his student days in his previous life.
After dancing, Winnie was still not satisfied, but she politely returned to her seat to drink, looking away from Levi from time to time.
While Li Wei was drinking, he was thinking that next year, he would use his phoenix breathing method and Mu Di's breathing method to change his holy ape breathing method, and try to fuse and mutate the holy ape breathing method and the giant breathing method.
In this way, Levi spent the happiest and calmest day since entering the wizarding world.
However, after having fun, Levi quickly entered an intense state of practice. He wanted to master all other meditation methods to the fourth level as soon as possible, and then establish his own first-level spell system. When the spell learning is almost complete
, Li Wei can go to the tower master to learn alchemy and the magic circle he has been thinking about. He has seen the power of the magic circle. If he masters the power of the magic circle, plans it in advance, and plans to act later, maybe
The weak can defeat the strong.
During the winter moon, messenger girl Eve sent an email. Levi thought it was from Andrew. After all, he and Andrew had not been in contact for a long time due to the sea monster tide.
However, when he opened the letter, he discovered that it was not from Andrew, but a congratulatory letter and gift from the Pandimensional Wizards Council.
"Dear wizard Levi, congratulations, you have officially entered the world of wizards. The moment you become a first-level wizard, you have automatically obtained membership in the Panplane Wizards Council, and you will enjoy the following rights:
1. You can voluntarily inject a trace of your soul into the soul jade sent with the letter, so that if something unexpected happens to you, the Panplane Wizards Council will start the case investigation process as soon as possible.
2. You have the qualifications to participate in the civil servant assessment of the Pan-plane Wizards Council. After passing the assessment, you can become a staff member of the major organizations under the Pan-plane Wizards Council and enjoy the benefits of the Pan-plane Wizards Council. At the same time,
You have also obtained the voter qualifications to elect "members" of the Pandimensional Wizards' Parliament, and cast your sacred vote.
3. You can register your own wizard organization with the parliament, lead a group of like-minded friends, and conduct spell research and discussion.
…
Finally, the most important thing is that from now on, as a member of the Pandimensional Wizards Council, whether you are facing the masters of multiple planes or the gods of the star world, you should hold your head high, neither humble nor arrogant, and be confident and calm.
.Because you represent the pan-dimensional wizard council, the wizard civilization, and a group of unbelievers who never give in to fate and always pursue the truth. The only things you believe in are the truth and yourself.
————Founder of the Pandimensional Wizards Council, Sauron
…
There is a lot of content in this letter, and it fills up a pamphlet.
But Li Wei took a look and saw that there were basically no real substantive rights... The Soul Jade was only used by the Panplane Wizards Council to determine whether Li Wei was dead. Even if Li Wei was killed,
The status of a first-level wizard like Levi is probably similar to that of Kane, and will not be taken seriously. The wizarding world is too huge. Although the Pandimensional Wizards Council basically respects all wizards from disadvantaged groups, it wants to truly protect these wizards.
The rights of low-level wizards still have a long way to go, and to be honest, in a supernatural world dominated by personal power, it is already considered a great achievement for a supernatural organization to achieve the level of the Pandimensional Wizards Council.
Not bad.
As for getting the "civil servant" qualifications of the Panplane Wizards Council? Just look at this. Not to mention the "national exams" like the Panplane Wizards Council, just the "provincial exams" like the Tower of Stars of the Ocean Faction. If you want to truly
To join the job, you either have to have a relationship with the top leaders of the Pandimensional Wizards Council, or you have to be a three-ring wizard who is good enough to start. For example, Salman, the first tower master of the Gray and White Tower, is not an ordinary wizard. And Li
Wei didn't really want to join such an official organization. He could see that, although the concept of the Pandimensional Wizards Council was good, in fact, in this huge organization, the intricate power relationships and relationships made it difficult for him to
If you stay away, if you are not careful, you will become cannon fodder in the Game of Thrones, fall into the bottomless abyss, and deal with a group of politicians and careerists. You must always walk on thin ice. It is better to be free.
Therefore, just like when he was in the human world, Li Wei still planned to find a place to farm quietly and practice cultivation while farming.
On errand?
Li Wei still didn't think about it anymore. His character, whether in his past life or this life, was destined to be unsuitable for this path.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the end, Levi did not choose to inject his soul into the Soul Jade. It was not that he did not trust the Pandimensional Wizards Council. There was no need to save it. He was already dead.
Are you still worried about whether the Pandimensional Council can help you find the real murderer? Kane is a living example.
Levi sighed, no matter what, he had been officially certified by the parliament and became a member of the Pandimensional Wizards Council.
He plans to buy an island in a while, become a small island owner himself, and then start tinkering with things like the living dead and the Holy Armored Scorpion.
…
Shenghui calendar year 1027, the original month.
The news that the Gray-White Tower had given birth to two first-level wizards in a short period of time spread throughout this sea area. For a time, the Gray-White Tower was unparalleled in the limelight. Sighing that an organization like Sea Breeze, which had a good relationship with the Gray-White Tower, was sent.
Congratulations, which shocked Emperor Mu when he learned the news.
He is also a son of Chaos, how come Li Wei has already advanced to an official wizard. And I am still wandering around as a mid-level wizard apprentice. I don’t know that only in the age of the monkey can I become a high-level wizard apprentice. However, thinking that Levi’s knight strength is also better than his own, Emperor Mu was relieved.
Well, obviously, Li Wei had his adventures, just as Emperor Mu also had his own adventures.
In the Gray Tower, after this period of practice, Levi's sun meditation method has also been advanced to the fourth level.
After the fourth level of the Sun Meditation Technique, Li Wei learned the "Fireball Technique". Just as he thought, after getting started with the Fireball Technique, because of the "Little Fireball Technique" that Li Wei had learned before, Li Wei's fireball
The proficiency progress of the technique also starts directly from the fourth level.
Levi————
Fireball: Level 4 (1/20000)
…
The fourth-level fireball technique is much more powerful than the small fireball technique. It at least has the attack power of a first-level spell. However, it is still much worse than the large fireball technique.
During the Moon of Flowers, Emperor Mu, who was stimulated by Li Wei, began to become determined and closed up for a relatively long time. Because Emperor Mu was in retreat, the routine team building activities of the Twilight Knights were cancelled, and Li Wei only
Can continue liver experience.
Not long after that, Levi's Night Crow Meditation Technique and Deep Sea Meditation Technique both reached the fourth level.
After that, Li Wei began a long journey of magic practice.
Time flies, and this year has passed.
After this period of practice.
Li Wei's one-ring spell system has been initially constructed.
Levi————
Water Prison: Level 4 (1893/20000)
Fireball: Level 5 (Extreme)
Body of Rock: Level 5 (Extreme)
Green Smoke Escape: Level 3 (3478/10000)
…
Because of the special effects of Fire God Dance and Earth Pulse, and because they all started at level 4, the two spells, Fireball and Rock Body, were pushed to the limit of level 5 by Li Wei not long after.
The power of the fifth-level fireball technique is already extraordinary. With the blessing of [Fire Serpent Ring], fireball technique has become Levi's most powerful spell attack skill today. If calculated according to the standards of the Star Ring Store, the fireball technique's attack
The strength should be level B. You only need to wait until Li Wei raises the upper limit of his mental power to over 30 and reaches the level of a first-level senior wizard, then he can upgrade [Fireball Technique] to [Big Fire Ball Technique]. At that time, Li Wei will
You don't need too many other attack spells. There is nothing that one fireball spell can't solve. If there is, then use another one.
In short, in terms of the Burning Faction, Li Wei plans to complete the fireball technique to the end, and Li Wei will not learn other fancy spells for the time being.
As for the fifth-level rock body, its defensive power should be at the level of Levi's liquid black scale period, which is almost B-level defensive strength. For Levi, it is enough. He doesn't cause trouble. Now that he has stacked so many armors, in
In the same realm, he can be called invincible.
As for the Water Prison Technique and Green Smoke Escape, due to the lack of magic foundation and the lack of elemental affinity similar to Earth Pulse, they are relatively slow to master. However, with Li Wei's speed, he can master these spells to the end.
At the limit, it won't take long.
"Fireball attack, water prison control, rock body defense, green smoke escape to escape with your life! Perfect!" Levi looked at his spell panel, feeling delighted.
Such a scientific and reasonable combination of spells can maximize the strength of a first-level wizard.
It is difficult for other wizards to do this, because they simply cannot learn so many meditation methods like Levi without falling behind in their practice progress. This is the special feature of the proficiency panel.
Levi has now mastered four first-level spells. In terms of spells, he is almost there, but his mental power is still lacking a lot. After all, it has only been a short time since he became an official wizard, and it is impossible to improve too much in a short period of time.
.
In addition to the above four spells, for the summoning of the undead and the touch of the scarab, Levi plans to wait until he lives on his own island before practicing, and will not practice in the tower, especially the summoning of the undead, so as not to summon some strange things from hell.
Weird stuff that causes trouble for the organization.
Now Levi's mental power is 22 points, and the upper limit of magic power is 440 points. Ordinary first-level spells, such as water prison and fireball, consume about 30 magic points. The more difficult the spell, the more magic power is consumed.
Many, for example, Green Smoke Escape and Big Fire Ball spells cost 50 mana points. As for the most difficult skill, Will-o'-the-Wisp Body, one cast costs 100 mana points.
Although magic power can be restored in a short time with green potions, it definitely requires a short period of meditation. There is no way to recover quickly in battle. The kind of potion that can restore magic power in battle is extremely expensive. Even Li Wei
This first-level pharmacist currently doesn't have the formula, let alone anyone else.
Therefore, a qualified wizard, before each battle, will calculate which first-level spells to cast in this battle, how to match the spells to kill the enemy, etc. The battle between wizards is not a random mess.
When throwing skills, you must act carefully and carefully. Of course, if you advance to the intermediate level wizard and can solidify the talent spells on top of your mental power, this embarrassing situation will be better. The talent spells and the talent types of many extraordinary creatures
The spell ability is the same, it is convenient and fast, does not require casting materials, does not require casting chants, and consumes very little mana.
In addition to these first-level spells, Li Wei also learned many common tricks that may be used in the future, such as "Light Technique", "Secret Sound Technique", "Grease Technique" and so on. Anyway, the advanced level is now official.
Now that you are a wizard, there are no restrictions on magic slots. Naturally, the more of these tricks that do not consume much mana, the better, and they will always be useful. These tricks are mainly auxiliary, and there are very few attack types. Count on the magic to do it.
It is obviously unrealistic to fight an official wizard.
After systematically mastering the spells of these mainstream schools, Levi said hello to Mai Lin and set off on the Basilosaurus. This time he was going to the [Island Home] under the Tower of Stars.
To buy an island of his own, he will cultivate a medicinal garden on this island, build some special breeding bases for breeding sacred scorpions, and then start research on alchemy and magic circles. From now on, this place will become his own
As his second home, Li Wei would do everything that was inconvenient to do in the Gray Tower.
In addition, when Li Wei left the Gray Tower, he also used all his points plus 3,000 Taishi to obtain [Spider Witch], the insect school inheritance of the second-level insect school wizard from the island owner. This inheritance includes spiders.
The witch's insect control notes, as well as the spells to control the red-faced sea ghost spider, the breeding methods of spiders, etc. In short, no matter whether Li Wei wants to use the red-faced sea ghost spider as his major insect in the future, this knowledge is very important to Li Wei.
It's a priceless treasure.
After all, Li Wei didn't kill the spider witch himself, so he couldn't get this inheritance for free. But to be honest, getting the inheritance from a second-level insect school wizard for 3,000 Taishi is no different from getting it for free. For
For a wizard, the most valuable thing is the inheritance of knowledge. Just the one thousand or so low-grade insects [Red-faced Sea Ghost Spider] in the spider witch's insect house would cost at least tens of thousands of stones on the market.
Already.
Seven days later, riding the Basilosaurus, Levi came to the island where the Stars Resource Committee was located.
In his last life, Li Wei struggled in the imperial capital for many years and couldn't even afford a house.
In this life, he would just go ahead and buy an island and become the owner of the island. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
"Hello sir, are you buying an island? Please show me your membership card of the Pandimensional Wizards Council."
The eyes of a black-haired witch wearing a short witch skirt lit up. When she saw Levi, it was like seeing a little lamb. Due to the impact of the sea monster tide some time ago, the trading market of the nearest island in this sea area was not very prosperous. This transaction
It's been a long time since a wizard came to the hall. This time, we must find a way to get this customer to buy a big island.
