Without taking out the magic stones, Colin mentally counted the magic stones directly in the storage ring.
Although this is more energy-intensive, it is more concealed and safer.
Not long after, Colin counted the magic stones clearly.
Opening his eyes, Colin exhaled softly. The worries caused by the war were temporarily suppressed by the surprise brought by the number of magic stones, which made him smile.
"More than 40,000 magic stones... plus my original magic stones, there are more than 40,000 magic stones!"
'The golden belt of murder and arson...the ancients will not deceive me!'
Colin sighed secretly in his heart, and then called out the gold paper.
He raised his eyes briefly and nodded slightly.
As expected, the progress of the quick surgery on the gold paper was already over half... Although it was not the first time, he still couldn't help but sigh.
Now that we have a super brain, the speed of cultivation is really different from before!
After pondering for a moment, Colin took out a magic stone, and then took out a witchcraft tool that he had purchased a long time ago but had never used - the magic stone slow release ring.
As its name suggests, the slow-release ring is a black ring with a hole in the middle for placing magic stones.
Magic stone, the crystallization of rich magic energy.
Naturally, it can be used to assist in restoring magic power, and can also be used to assist in practice. Of course, it can also be used to charge witchcraft crystals.
It's just that when I was on Black Rock Island and traveling before, it was too luxurious to use magic stones to practice, so I never tried it.
After that, when he came to the city of Neustadt, the concentration of magic energy in the city was already high enough, and it had basically reached the limit for him during his apprenticeship.
After all, no matter how much water there is in the outside world, the water pipes it receives are only so large, and there is an upper limit.
Using magic stones would not be of much help in cultivation and would be just a waste, so I have not tried it.
Of course, the main reason is that it is inconvenient to practice with magic stones.
The concentration of magic energy contained in the magic stone is extremely high. If it is not slowly released, it will be directly used to practice or replenish magic power... For wizards, it will only be harmful, but not beneficial.
A long time ago, wizards needed to use special witchcraft to slow down the release of magic stones, but now they basically use special witchcraft tools.
Not only is it convenient, it also consumes less magic stone and has better effects.
Extravagantly, he took out a low-grade magic stone and put it into the magic stone slow-release ring. Colin began to restore his magic power.
About five minutes later.
Colin opened his eyes again.
Although it is the first time to use magic stone to restore magic power, overall, it is not much different from usual.
The current generation magic stone slow-release ring in his hand is the latest model produced by the Ishtar School. After years of updates, it is now almost perfect in function and cannot be improved.
Naturally, I can’t say enough about my experience using it.
'This use can be regarded as a preview for the future.'
After all, after leaving the city of Neustadt, the concentration of magic energy outside is not that high.
Even in the southern sea area, there are many low magic areas.
In order to ensure the progress of cultivation, I am afraid that I will have to use magic stones to practice.
After putting away the slow-release ring, Colin stood up with a thought in his mind.
"Swift spell cast!"
The brilliance of witchcraft flashed through, and a familiar feeling of lightness suddenly enveloped the whole body.
If the calculation is correct, now with the help of the super brain, before going to the meeting, he can practice his agility to the limit, and then break the limit!
In this way, Colin practiced over and over again.
When the magic power that had just been fully restored in his body was exhausted again, he not only practiced the agility technique to the limit, but also practiced the steel temperature-resistant force field for a while!
Snap.
He took out his pocket watch and took a look. The time was just right, enough for him to break the limit of his agility.
He sat down cross-legged and broke the limit countless times. Colin was already familiar with the road.
As the characters after the limit-breaking point gradually decrease, Swiftness 2 is no surprise, and the limit is successfully broken to Swiftness 3.
"Um?"
Staring at the gold paper, Colin suddenly raised his eyebrows.
This agility technique, after breaking the limit, did not turn into a first-level low-level witchcraft, but directly changed into a first-level mid-level witchcraft just like eliminating traces!
Pa da, I opened my pocket watch and took a look.
It's almost time. If you don't start, you might be late.
Colin was thinking as he got up and walked outside.
'When Fireball 2 broke the limit to Fireball, it only changed from the upper level of zero level to the lower level of first level, but the agility skill directly changed from the upper level of zero level to the middle level of first level... and the elimination of traces, which are also fused.
of witchcraft, but only it has become the first-order median...'
Colin frowned.
'The extent of the increase in the limit of witchcraft is indeed not equal.'
In fact, Colin has never stopped summarizing research on gold paper.
Knowledge is power, whether in this world or in the original world, it is the truth.
With the help of gold paper, in the past, when life was hard to guarantee during his apprenticeship, he more often chose to rely on gold paper to directly improve himself.
Of course, on the other hand, it is also because the wizard apprentice has not reached the stage where he can research and explore knowledge.
At that time, there was naturally some witchcraft to improve or some witchcraft... There was no other choice, and there was no way to delve into it.
But now that he has become a first-level wizard, it is time to put some long-lost confusions on the agenda.
About gold paper, about wizard knowledge...
At this time, his steps paused slightly.
Not far in front of him, two familiar figures broke into his sight.
One looks like a wizened old man, the other has silver hair——
It was Meyer and Sowok.
After pondering for a moment, Colin quickened his pace and caught up with the two figures.
After the battle, before he even returned to the room, he was assigned to repair the airship. He never saw Meyer and Sovok...
I don’t know the specific situation of those who have been hiding at the bottom.
"Your Excellency Meyer, Your Excellency Sovok."
After approaching, Colin took the initiative to say hello.
Meyer and Sovok turned their heads, looking a little surprised.
After seeing the appearance of the two of them clearly, Colin was slightly startled.
Sovok's face was pale, and a hideous wound extended from his chin to his collarbone. Even though it was covered with translucent light green gel, the bright red flesh and white bones below could be clearly seen.
Meier on the other side is not much better. Although there are no obvious wounds, he just looks tired. But combined with his already old face, he now even looks like he is dying!
"Sir Colin... I didn't expect you to be unscathed."
The outspoken Sowok looked at Colin and spoke first, with some disbelief in his eyes.
"I really envy your luck." Sowok sighed, "...if I had known better, I wouldn't have listened to them and went to the lowest level. Obviously the second level where we are is the safest!"
Colin looked calm and did not refute. After all, in the eyes of others, he had just become an official wizard.
He was about to open his mouth and ask about the situation at the bottom.
But Meier on the side seemed to have thought of something and asked first:
"Your Excellency Colin, where are your Excellencies Mi Lu? Have you seen her?"
"I've never seen it before." Colin shook his head calmly.
"I haven't seen it yet..."
Meyer murmured, sighed, and fell into silence.
Sowok on the other side seemed to have thought of something and closed his mouth.
“The second level is the safest…
Mr. Meier, what is the specific situation at the bottom of your class?"
Colin spoke up to break the silence.
"In the secret room, the wizards of the Goodale School rebelled and wanted to let those monsters in. We were caught off guard and almost succeeded, but in the end we won."
Meier looked up at him, briefly summarized what happened, and then added:
"It's just that many wizards have died, including several wizards from the Nine Schools... Well, do you still remember the wizard Morton from the Yin'an School at that bartering meeting? She is one of them..."
Colin was slightly shocked. This was far more serious than he thought...
"The Goodell School are a bunch of bastards who have betrayed the principles of wizards."
Sowok gritted his teeth and said.
The injuries on his body were the work of a Goodale wizard.
"Why be angry? I'm afraid the Goodell School has become history now." Meyer advised on the side, "Let's first see what Mr. Greenland is calling us to do..."
Colin looked forward, and before he knew it, they had reached the central hall of the gathering.
Countless golden chandeliers provided ample lighting, and the bright crystal white light shone down, illuminating the crowded wizards.
The tables and chairs that originally existed in the hall have been removed in order to accommodate the arriving wizards.
Directly in front of the wizards, Greenland had appeared.
He was sitting in the main seat, his eyes were calm, his face looked good, and there were no signs of injury.
"Let's go over there, the view over there is good." Sowok suggested.
There is no specific standing position specified in this rally, and they do not need to stand with fellow classmates, they can stand anywhere.
"Okay." Meyer nodded.
Colin naturally had no objection and walked over with him.
"Everyone is already here, so I'll start right away."
When they just arrived at the chosen location and stood up, Greenland said in a deep voice.
As his voice fell, a translucent light mask suddenly enveloped the hall.
"This, this is?!"
"what happened?"
The wizards in the hall began to whisper and whisper to each other.
Colin's expression also changed slightly.
Greenland's behavior made him recall an unforgettable memory...
But Greenland in front had no intention of explaining, and just waved the scepter in his hand.
A clear translucent ripple spread rapidly outward from the top of his scepter.
Colin inexplicably thought of the unknown witchcraft used by the Lord of Neuss... The translucent ripples also looked like this.
at this time.
Suddenly there was a commotion among the wizards on the left.
Colin turned around and looked.
A striking red light group suddenly appeared on the head of an ordinary-looking wizard.
The light group was about the size of a fist, somewhat similar to a gathering of dense mist, and was shining outward.
Greenland in front stared intently, but made no move.
The next moment, several similar red light clusters appeared in other places in the crowd.
The wizards who were marked out finally understood what was going on.
"Praise my Lord!"
One of the believers' expressions changed again and again. He shouted loudly and rushed to the side, trying to drag the nearest wizard to die with him.
Whoosh!
But since Greenland chose to do this, he was naturally fully prepared.
He and several wizards around him took action one after another.
The marked wizards were immediately imprisoned and brought to the front.
Greenland did not look at the wizard who was taken in, but glanced at the wizards in the audience.
When he glanced around and saw that the noisy sounds in the hall gradually subsided and returned to silence, he pointed at the several imprisoned wizards next to him and said slowly:
"I think you can see it, they are all dirty believers of gods...
Believers of gods who have just been recognized by witchcraft!”
Greenland's tone rose and he smiled:
"Yes, Lord Noyes and several members of the Supreme Council, after this battle, have seen through the disguises of these believers, and have also developed a special detection witchcraft-the crimson mark technique!"
Colin's heart was shocked, and then he was filled with joy.
He still underestimated the strength of the wizards...
"The purpose of summoning you this time is also very simple, which is to teach this witchcraft." Greenland continued.
‘Teaching witchcraft…’ Colin frowned.
Would this be inappropriate?
It would be great if every wizard could master a witchcraft like this. In a real sense, it would make believers have nowhere to hide.
But in his opinion, if possible, it is obviously best to be mastered by only a small number of truly reliable wizards.
The fewer people who have it, the less likely it is to be leaked, thus preventing the gods from developing countermeasures.
But since Greenland did this, it was obviously an order from the Supreme Council.
Maybe there is a deeper meaning in it that he doesn't know.
Well, maybe it's just that I am confident in the effects of witchcraft and don't worry about being cracked by the gods...
"call--"
Meier on the side let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face.
He glanced at Colin and Sovok, who were looking curiously, and said with a smile:
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Old man, I have always been worried about the traitor. After all, if we can only use this method to find the traitor every time, it is really not a long-term solution."
His tone was rare, less polite and philistine, and more sincere.
"The wizard will eventually win, just like thousands of years ago!" Sowok added on the side with a confident tone.
Colin didn't answer.
After coming to the city of Neustadt, apart from practicing, he often spent time in the Library Castle, where he gained a lot of knowledge about the history of the world and humanities.
This world is very big. In addition to Asia, there are several continents.
It is unclear when wizards and gods began to oppose each other...but the only thing that is clear is that more than 3,500 years ago, there was a shocking war between wizards and gods in this world.
The final result was a tragic victory for the wizard and the defeat of the gods.
I don't know if it was the influence of that battle. In the thousands of years that followed, dragons, elves, orcs... these original comrades of the wizards gradually disappeared from this world.
During this period, gods occasionally revived or came to project, but these were accidental events or on a very small scale.
It was only in the past five years, according to the records of the Supreme Council, that the arrival of gods suddenly became more frequent.
In the past two years, in the southern seas, there have been signs of the gods' comeback...
Colin couldn't help but sigh... This could be regarded as a bad time in a sense.
He gently clenched his fists, gathered his thoughts, and listened carefully to Greenland's teaching demonstration in front of him.
