Observing the construction of the city probably took up Li Wen's entire morning, and it was already noon when he returned home.
Li Wen, who returned to the continent of Gaia, went straight to the library where the Mages Association resided.
I haven’t been here for a long time, and the library still looks the same as it did in the past.
No matter what has happened recently, after the incident is over, this place can always return to its calm and unhurried appearance.
The mages sitting everywhere had magic books or spell scrolls placed in front of them, turning over them quietly and studying them with concentration.
The only difference is that Li Wen has now unlocked more advanced permissions and can learn fourth to fifth-level spells.
Scrolls for fourth and fifth-level spells are also in the library.
In fact, this library is considered the place with the strongest defense even among the Mages Association's residence, so all the spell resources owned by Sword Wind City can be found here. The only difference is that they cannot be consulted if they do not have enough authority.
Li Wen summoned those magic servants who were like little fur balls, verified his authority...that is, the defense ring given by Helen, and successfully obtained the spell scrolls he wanted.
Previously, Li Wenkong had spell slots, but no high-level spells to use. A bunch of learning qualifications for learning high-level spells were only supplemented by low-level spells.
Now that he is able to learn high-level spells, the first thing Li Wen needs to do is to organize his memory in an orderly manner.
As mentioned before, the high magic power requirement required by the mage profession is to be able to sort out one's memory as accurately as a disk.
The limited storage space of the disk corresponds to the number of spells that the mage can memorize.
Li Wen used low-level spells to occupy these storage spaces. Now if he wants to learn new spells, he must first forget the old and redundant ones.
At the same time, due to different strengths, Li Wen now has different needs for various spells. Low-level spells that were previously useful now also need to be re-selected and combined.
In the next few days, Li Wen made up his mind to complete a new spell combination.
As for which combination to choose, Li Wen had already made up his mind.
Currently, as a 12th-level mage, his qualifications for learning spells of each level are 5 cantrips, 8 for first-level spells, and 4 for all 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th level spells.
Putting aside the self-created spells, the chosen coordination is——
First-level spells: protection from good and evil, shield, false life, understanding languages, thunder wave, alarm, oil on soles of feet, detect magic
Second-level spells: Lost Step, Dark Vision, Transformation, Levitation
Three-level spells: fireball, protection from energy damage, counterspell, dispel magic
Fourth-level spells: Stoneskin, Any Door, Otiluk Elastic Sphere, Advanced Invisibility
Five-ring spells: Bigby's Hand, Scrying, Alien Oath, Teleportation Circle
Ritual spells are a special kind of spells. Not only do they not occupy spellcasting qualifications, they also do not occupy learning qualifications. As long as they reach the lowest level that can be learned, you can copy them into your own spell book. It can be said that the more the better, and you can learn it as long as you can.
As for other spells, Li Wen still preferred functionality as always.
The only two offensive spells are probably fireball and Bigby's Hand.
Bigby's Hand is a very powerful and interesting mid-range attack spell. It is actually the ultimate plus version of Mage Girlfriend. It was created by the spell master named Bigby after he mastered countless ways to play Mage Girlfriend.
A self-created five-ring fighting spell.
Li Wen is now half a melee mage himself, so learning a combat spell is complementary to him.
There is not only a genius like Li Wen in the world, there are countless people on the path of mage who are working hard to develop what mages can do.
As for other spells...the second-level invisibility spell is replaced by the fourth-level advanced invisibility spell. The difference is that you can cast spells in invisibility without appearing.
As well as the Otiluk Elastic Sphere, a spell that has a strong life-saving ability when combined with the triggering spell, and the teleportation circle, which is a crucial spell.
Only by deeply understanding the rules of the teleportation circle among conventional spells, can Li Wen be able to innovate on this basis.
It can be said that the new spell learning qualifications of the fourth and fifth rings are the basis for Li Wen to open up a wider world.
After a long time, Li Wen once again sat quietly at the table by the window in the library, immersed in the spell scrolls in front of him, and began to learn new spells.
Time passes slowly, and the bright sun that was originally high in the sky gradually sets.
Li Wen, who was obsessed with studying, was aroused by the fragrance of apples.
In one afternoon, it was indeed time for dinner.
Li Wen blinked and took out his energy from the spell scroll in front of him.
In one afternoon, Li Wen only learned the fifth-ring spell - the teleportation circle.
As the spell level increases, the overall spell structure becomes more and more complex. Large blocks of runes are combined in a way that is difficult to explain. The integrated circuit chip is probably not enough to explain the complexity. Even with Li
Even though Wen had reached 20 points of peak human magic power, he still felt a little dizzy.
If you were an ordinary person, what you would probably see is a messy ball of yarn with no clue?
It's hard to imagine how much effort a mage with a lower magic level would have to put into learning these spells.
Li Wen, who drew out his energy from the spell scroll, touched his stomach and decided to solve the physical problem first, and then fight the spell scroll sauce.
However, seeing Li Wen's actions, a long-lost voice sounded before his eyes.
"You're hungry, I've prepared this for you."
Li Wen looked up and found Miss Pie sitting opposite, looking at him with a charming smile.
Li Wen smiled sheepishly as he looked at the pie that was pushed in front of him and exuded the fragrance of apples.
"this……"
"It's okay, just eat. It's just prepared for you."
Miss Pie held her chin and smiled sweetly at Li Wen, her bright eyes full of smiles.
Li Wen picked up a piece of hot pie and put it in his mouth, and asked in a low voice with a vague voice.
"Why are you here?"
"I should ask you why you are here. I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you went to the imperial capital..."
"No... I don't have time to go to the Imperial Capital~ I've been too busy recently. By the way, what happened to your master and that old man?"
Li Wen still remembered that the two old guys acted as if they were in a blood frenzy. He had gone to another world to find a solution, but he didn't know what happened to them.
"There's nothing wrong with them... You want to say that they were hit by the Blood Madness, right? They have always stayed in that manor, and have not caused anyone any trouble. I have taken care of everything they eat and drink. Even our money has been squeezed by that old man.
Use it to buy those livestock... After the moon first turns red and then turns white that day, they will be completely fine. Don't worry."
I have quite a lot of self-control...
Li Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"that……"
As she spoke, Miss Pie seemed to be hesitant, her face slightly drooped, her eyelashes trembling, and she did not dare to face Li Wen directly.
"Do you... have any plans to go to the Imperial Capital recently?"
"ah?"
Li Wen was stunned and shook his head, "No, what?"
"It's just... I'm planning to go to the Imperial Capital. I'll... say hello to you in advance. After all, we are friends, right. It's only right and polite to say hello to your friends wherever you go."
Miss Pie's voice became quieter and quieter in the second half, as if she was talking to herself, and finally she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Wen.
"So, do you want to go to the Imperial Capital?"
Facing the girl's expectant gaze, Li Wen seemed to understand nothing and just smiled shyly.
"I prefer Sword Wind City... By the way, this pie is quite hot, don't you want to eat it yourself?"
"I told you it was specially prepared for you!"
Miss Pie stood up and said, "I saw you here in the afternoon, so I made time to go home and made some."
As she spoke, Miss Pie let out a breath, seemingly making some kind of declaration.
"I signed up for Sventut Magic Academy in the Imperial Capital, and I will go to study soon. When I come back, don't let me pull you too far away!"
Li Wen looked up at the young girl with a delicate face and smooth brown curly hair holding a large magic book in his arms, and showed a bright smile.
"Then I'll wait for you in Jianfeng City, the second greatest pie mage lady in Jianfeng City."
"I told you I'm not Miss Pie!"
Showing her white and tender little fists, Irene turned around and walked towards the library door without looking back again.
It was only after leaving the library that he quietly turned back to look at the figure visible from the window.
But she found that she was meeting Li Wen's eyes, and facing Li Wen's smiling eyes, Irene showed her fist at him again, turned around and disappeared into the dim light of the magic street lamp.
"That little girl is pretty nice, why don't you go with her?"
As soon as Irene walked away, a tall and thin shadow enveloped half of the table in front of her.
Li Wen was still fighting for the remaining half of the pie. Hearing this, he looked at the person coming.
Minister Eric?
Oh, by the way, there seems to be an agreement between you and him.
Hey~ I haven’t been here for a while, but I just happened to run into them all.
"It's useless for me to go to the imperial capital."
Li Wen told the truth, he knew where his roots were.
Not only because I like Sword Wind City, but also because there are no players in the Imperial City...or large-scale players.
Where can he cut leeks without players?
Relying on his own cultivation... Now that he is a mage, he does not need to rely solely on meditation to obtain soul energy, but should he go to those powerful creatures to fight for his life?
Impossible.
It's strenuous and dangerous, and it also delays your own learning.
Cutting leeks is still easy and freehand, and I occasionally do it just to show off...
After hearing Li Wen's words, Eric nodded in agreement.
He knew that Li Wen was now the honorary city protector of Jianfeng City, and his authority was quite high.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Going to the imperial capital and working hard from scratch is not necessarily as good as staying in Jianfeng City.
A mage's various researches also require resources. Without a thorough stack of resources, it will be difficult for a mage to truly understand the true principles contained in those spells, and it will also be difficult for a mage to explore the broader secrets of arcana based on the previous work.
His only regret is that he couldn't eat melon...
"Master Li Wen, we had an agreement before, do you still remember?"
Li Wen nodded.
"Yeah! Of course I remember. I wonder what Minister Eric wants to say?"
"It's the Icathian thunderstorm you created. I've been studying it to this day, but I still feel a little confused about it."
The release effect cannot be automatically improved as the professional level increases, and the spell slot can also be used to increase the level to cast spells.
This thing shouldn't be a trick.
It can be said to be the youth version of a one-ring spell.
But the problem is that there has never been a youth version of a first-level spell in this world.
If all spells had youth versions, there would be too many tricks available in the world.
Of course, this is also because the structure of this spell is simple enough to be judged as level 0 by a certain law. The structure of ordinary spells is not that simple.
Minister Eric is a pure aboriginal mage who has neither experience nor interest in how to harvest players.
From his point of view, even though this spell has been promoted nationwide, there has been almost no feedback.
This spell has a simple structure, but the runes that make up the structure are complex.
Almost no one is interested in this spell. Those who need it can't learn it, and those who can learn it don't like it.
The initial evaluation of this spell by their Mage Association was accurate. It is complicated to learn, does not have the natural growth potential of magic, and requires the consumption of spell slots to exert great power.
But if the limited spell slots are placed on other spells, the effects that can be exerted are much stronger than it.
This spell is very problematic. It can be said that it is a completely useless invention and should be swept into a corner to collect dust.
Li Wen listened to Eric's analysis and felt that it made sense.
Not only the aborigines don't like it, but the players don't like it anymore either.
It can only be said that this thing appeared at the right time. It appeared in the right place when it was needed most, allowing Li Wen to earn his first pot of gold.
Now, Li Wen is almost ready to give up on it.
Eric didn't care that this spell was created by Li Wen. He recited its shortcomings in front of Li Wen, and then suddenly took a turn.
"But I think its emergence means some kind of brand new rules, some rules that we haven't discovered yet."
This is the reason why the mage minister of one of his associations has been obsessed with this spell some time ago.
"The lethality of magic is fixed. It can only increase naturally with the improvement of professional level. It is fixed. Although some normal spells can be cast at higher levels, none of them can be cast without consuming spells.
It is performed by position. And does this trick, which can increase its power by raising the ring and casting spells, mean that there is some kind of rule behind it that supports its appearance? Can we discover the advantages of both parties by studying this rule...
…some kind of spellcasting method?”
Eric's eyes are fiery, and there is no mage who is not eager to discover more truths about the world.
This world naturally has the underlying principles for its operation.
There must be rules that allow certain things to appear before the corresponding things can appear, just like those paths that appear out of thin air and actively respond to professional characteristics.
And the significance of this spell may not lie in itself, but in the... rules that support its existence?
