Salvatore, who was wearing pajamas, frowned slightly and hugged the hot water cup with both hands: "Why is he here?"
Clarence, who was sitting on the cabinet, shrugged: "He wanted me to follow his path."
"Lingcheng Monk? Heh... let's say goodbye."
Salvatore yawned and sneered casually: "Losing most of the mind-reading ability just to become like a human or a ghost?
"Is this the legendary traditionalist? I'm scared."
"After all, it is tradition."
Clarence pushed up his glasses and chuckled: "The 'Necromancer' is indeed our predecessor and ancestor... Is this considered retro?"
"This is called falling behind."
Salvatore said unceremoniously: "Senior Clarence, don't believe his lies.
"It is not unreasonable for the necromancers to be eliminated. Today's eight major factions of wizards have withstood the experience of the times and the test of blood and fire in the unified war, and finally took shape. The soul-stealing school will take the path of controlling the mind instead of controlling the soul.
This path must have its own reason..."
"Because practicality is the most important thing."
"yes……"
Salvatore took a sip of hot honey water and sighed in a low voice: "But feelings do exist...
"Just like I know that the 'Grand Wizard' is the most practical advancement, otherwise it would not be the most popular. But I still chose the 'Alchemist'."
He has completed the advanced examination with excellent results.
Later, after he chose the general type of curse, the tower owner gave him the "Dream Key" to enter the designated nightmare, and directly told him what would happen if he "chooses" in this nightmare.
"Things" and "what kind of curse" may be obtained after coming out.
This can be considered a benefit for the White Tower Wizard.
The wizard tower's database passed down from generation to generation has given wizards a considerable understanding of nightmares and curses.
Generally speaking, with the exception of the hunter profession, there are only two schools of thought for other extraordinary beings to choose to bind themselves:
One is like Annan, who chooses to do as little as possible to affect himself. He does not seek merit but seeks no fault.
And the second type... is through the special mechanism of curse.
In the process of collecting a large amount of information, the wizards had unconsciously discovered the mechanism for determining the curse.
Holy contracts and priesthoods are the highest level of curses, and their priority can cover all curses.
And below this, there are the advanced curses obtained when the silver level advances to the gold level; then there are the curses obtained when advancing to the silver level, the advanced bronze, which is the curse when you first embark on the path to transcendence, and then
At the bottom are the curses obtained from others, and at the bottom are ordinary curses temporarily established.
This is also one of the main reasons why the extraordinary world is now divided into gold level, silver level, and bronze level.
When a high-priority curse conflicts with a low-priority curse, only the high-priority one will be effective, which is the "class law of curses."
For example, if the Bronze-level curse is "I will not feel pain" and the Silver-level curse is "I will have a headache after dark", then the Silver-level curse is still valid; conversely, if the "Pain-feeling is eliminated"
If you get the curse at the silver level, you won't have a headache after dark.
The second law is that when high-priority curses and low-priority curses act on the same effect at the same time, the negative effects will be the highest and the positive effects will be superimposed.
For example, the two curses of -30% fire resistance and -50% fire resistance will not deduct 80% of the extraordinary person's fire resistance, but 50%; however, the positive effects of +5 strength and doubled strength will
The superposition will take effect in order of level.
In other words...if the combination of curses is reasonable, it is theoretically possible to only carry one of the most serious curses.
That is to say, constantly choose high-level curses of the same type to cover low-level curses, prevent multiple weaknesses from appearing, and be able to concentrate on protecting your only weakness; some hunters will also adopt this principle when collecting curses.
Apart from these two schools, it is basically a blind choice.
And the wild extraordinary people who choose blindly will pay the price they deserve sooner or later...
"...Speaking of which, do you want to be my secret keeper, senior?"
"I don't mind."
Clarence asked casually: "But don't you go find Teacher Benjamin? He seems to have become the Pope, how safe it is."
"And that little boy you're looking for outside..."
"That's fine. This time I specifically chose a covering type of spell. It doesn't matter if I just tell people casually."
Salvatore also gave up on himself and embarked on the second path.
Hearing what he said, the red-robed wizard Clarence was a little shocked.
"...Can your curse still cover it?"
"Cover it in reverse. You'll know after listening to it."
He spoke with both pride and helplessness: "My new curse is, 'I cannot sleep for more than six hours a day.' For every hour of sleep, the apparent age will be reduced by one year, but the life span will not be
Increase."
"...It seems like you couldn't have spent more than six hours, right?"
Clarence was silent for a long time and asked doubtfully: "And this curse... it will be useful when you get old, right? At least it can prevent your body from getting too old."
"The premise is that I can really live until I grow old..."
Salvatore sighed gloomily: "I always feel like I'm going to die suddenly."
"Don't talk nonsense, you are an alchemist. There is no such thing as sudden death," Clarence waved his hand, "If you think you are going to die suddenly, just prepare some 'drugs to prevent sudden death' for yourself. I
Remember an alchemist can do this."
"Ah, indeed."
Salvatore nodded.
The profession of "Alchemist" will greatly weaken the combat ability. But for Salvatore, this problem is very common... His combat ability is already very poor.
Even if the combat effectiveness of 2 is reduced by 40%, it cannot reach 1. This is the reason.
The reason why this profession weakens the combat effectiveness is because it completely makes "refining without materials" impossible. "Alchemist" is the ancient version of the transformation wizard profession, which greatly increases the efficiency of material transformation.
For example, he no longer needs to convert wood into iron, iron into electricity, electricity into fire, fire into red crystal, and red crystal into diamond. Instead, he can refine wood into diamond in an instant.
But he could originally use a piece of wood the size of a walking stick and transform it into a huge diamond wall five or six meters high. Now he can only turn it into a diamond the size of a walking stick.
The advantage is that Salvatore can now "reverse transformation".
That is to turn diamonds back into wood, or gold into brass.
This ability is basically useless for combat.
However, it can terminate the reaction at will and let the reactants change back directly, or it can complete the catalysis instantly and go through a long reaction period.
If applied well, it can be regarded as a kind of turning back time.
This is why few new transformations can be invented in modern times, and they are basically based on the optimization of ancient transformations.
Because modern transformation wizards have considered the issue of "efficiency", they have abandoned the production of this small handicraft workshop and transformed into a human flesh assembly line.
But Salvatore didn't want that.
Perhaps at the beginning, he also wanted to learn transformation spells to make money...
However, after getting to know Annan, he understood his own heart better.
Maybe... he just likes transformation spells.
As for fighting and your own safety
Salvatore believed that his friends would help him solve this problem.
His most important task now is to study the "Philosopher's Stone of the Hermetic School".
Then, complete this recipe smoothly...and without using the power of Miss "Vatore".
