The moment the palms of the two people came into contact, Xuan Weizi felt a wave of detection efficiency coming from the opponent's hand without any scruples, trying to detect himself up and down.
Xuan Weizi's expression did not change, he used his spirit and Qi, restrained his aura, and hid his vitality to prevent the other party from taking advantage of him.
"My improved supernatural 'analytical weakness' detects through physical contact and can ignore spell resistance and will saves. Instead, I have to use Fortitude saves to fight against it, but nothing can be detected?" Mage Nelum
I was surprised: "No, is this guy alive? Why has his pulse stopped? But he still has body temperature, unlike those cold lichs who are full of negative energy..."
Xuan Weizi also secretly lamented that Master Nelum's detection spell is like a high-precision, multi-band detection instrument. It not only tries to detect his own spell-casting ability, but also detects things like "Linggen Jade Liquid"
Special abilities, and even the basic qualities and weaknesses of the body must be detected.
"As expected of a ninth-level mage, he casts such a detection spell without any preparation, and ignores spell resistance and will save. This is clearly a supernatural ability and should not be underestimated."
After Xuan Weizi sighed, he did not stand and let the other party detect him. He also activated his heavenly eye to detect the other party. In the sense of Yuan Shen, it seemed that he was not a mage in front of him, but a glimpse of the arcane level, majestic and vast.
The arcane energy forms various dense and huge invisible structures on his body.
Xuan Weizi discovered that Master Nelum had three layers of protective spells, one of which was stronger than the "High Mage Armor" and comparable to the basic protection of heavy plate armor; the other layer had an energy-absorbing effect.
It can convert and absorb low-level spells; there is also a layer of special force field armor, which seems to be "reactive armor" facing the outside, which can automatically resist and block external hostile attacks.
"This average person really can't fight against a ninth-level mage. He just stands there without resisting or moving. A low-level mage can't even hurt him. Warriors who intend to fight in close combat will be automatically
The triggered force field reactive armor bounces off directly...and these protective effects seem to be constant on the body?"
At present, Xuan Weizi can only rely on carrying a few energy-infused gems with him to automatically maintain protection with massive spiritual energy, but the ninth-level mage directly has a set of mutually coordinated protective spells on his body.
Although I personally know that it would cost a lot of money and materials to constantly apply so many spells to my body, but this alone is enough to prove the gap in strength.
Even if you have money, not everyone can do this!
Xuan Weizi heard Theus mention that although the magic constancy spell can make some spells last forever, this is only an ideal state.
First of all, it is natural that the more advanced spells are, the more difficult they are to become constant, and the supplies and materials consumed for constantization are also extremely large, so that the constantization of some high-level spells is almost exponentially different compared to low-level spells.
The second is to keep the spell on the caster, which will also occupy a certain soul node, which is equivalent to wearing a magic item. The soul node is also specifically expressed at the level of the soul. If too many spell effects are fixed, it will even "crowd out" the spellcasting ability.
effect".
For example, the constant spell is equivalent to carrying a heavy object on your back. It is impossible for someone to carry hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects and still walk quickly, right? The magic item can be re-weared after being removed, and the constant spell
Once the effect is forcibly removed, it cannot be restored automatically.
Although it is very difficult for a ninth-level mage like Master Nelum to remove the constant effect on him.
Mage Nelum obviously also noticed that Xuan Weizi was detecting him, so he just smiled and let go of his hand. It is normal for strange spellcasters to test each other when they meet. Only Theus on the side was sweating coldly, fearing that the two of them would
What kind of unpleasantness arises between senior people?
"Divination and fortune-telling? Doctor Oranso also knows about this?" Master Nelum walked side by side with Xuan Weizi as calmly as if he were walking in his own garden, followed by Theus and other mages.
"I understand a little bit." Xuan Weizi is not being modest, but the astrological changes in the other world are different from those on the earth, resulting in a very different pattern of heavenly stems and earthly branches. The four pillars and ten gods are all in chaos. Most of the past magic foundations are basically invalid, and they can only return to the most primitive
"Yin and Yang determine good and bad luck, and the five elements determine luck."
Master Nelum asked: "Oh? I don't know which aspect? Astrology? Bone divination? Cards? Or palm reading?"
"It should be regarded as astrology." Xuan Weizi could only follow what the other party said. After all, the prophecy arcana of contemporary mages is mainly developed in combination with astrology. As for other divination methods, for mages' arcana,
Most of them are the third-rate skills of country wizards, which are difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Master Nelum smiled and said: "Oh? That's just right. Our Pentagram Tower has the largest star observation instrument in the magic world in the Old World. Mr. Weston, who is responsible for controlling it, is an expert in astrology. If I have time, I will
I can introduce you to him."
"Then I'll say thank you first."
Master Nelum looked at the walled town of Woodpile Town from afar, like a wealthy tycoon inspecting his property, and said with his scepter: "Not bad, the work is in full swing, but the scale is not enough."
.”
Theus stepped forward and asked quickly: "I wonder how much the dean plans to expand?"
Master Nelem smiled and said: "We at Pentagram Tower hope to build this place into the second Fire Dance City, especially as an important town for friendly communication with the local indigenous people. Among other things, we must at least build a communication crystal tower.
.Dr. Olenso, what do you think?"
"I have no objection, but we have to consider the attitudes of other local people." Xuan Weizi said with a profound expression.
Master Nelum was a little confused and asked: "Isn't this... the church has already focused its attention on Lagen City? I wonder if there is anyone else in Pile Town who deserves Dr. Olenso's attention?"
Immediately, three kingfishers were seen flying over everyone's heads, leaving behind dots of green light feathers in their flight paths, flying towards the north of Chai Dui Town.
Suddenly, the ground vibrated slightly, like ocean tides, and waves swept outward.
Three kingfishers circled in mid-air, like three green flames, igniting the natural energy flowing under the earth. A sapling broke out of the ground, and with the pulsating light flow, time seemed to be accelerated, and the sapling spun around.
Thrive instantly.
From a distance, you can hear the winding growth of trees, the clicking sounds of their roots drilling through the earth, a lush green blooming, immeasurable natural energy crazily pouring into it, the lush canopy covering the sky and the sun, and a huge tower rising straight into the sky.
The shadow of the tree spread out and stood on the ground.
And this was not enough. Around the oak trees with emerald green glow, the ground rumbled, and strips of boulders broke out of the ground. They were arranged in a circle to form a boulder ring. The effect of "Holy Abode" was immediately formed, covering one or two people in a radius.
Bai Chi. Various spell effects are displayed as if they cost nothing——
Looking at the oaken holy residence filled with emerald light, Mage Nelum stood speechless, and all the mages behind him were also astonished. Even Theus, who had guessed that this was the masterpiece of Tar Valon, was speechless.
I expected to see this kind of scene.
"This is... the Emerald Ring?" Master Nelem recognized it at a glance, pointed to the Oak Holy Residence and asked Xuan Weizi: "Are there members of the Emerald Ring here? Also, still..."
"It's still a high-level druid." Mage Nelem couldn't say it for a while. Although he knew the news about the members of the Emerald Ring in the New World, some scattered members of the Emerald Ring could not explain anything and were not worthy of him at all.
A ninth-level mage pays attention.
But the situation is different now. The reason why the Emerald Ring has this name is because of the "Oak Sanctuary" composed of oak trees and boulder circles. It can be said that this thing is the real "Emerald Ring"!
It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Londinium Empire received guidance from his mentor in Gudrui's Green Ring and drew a long sword that symbolized the emperor's identity - of course, these were regarded as support by the mages.
A fairy tale of the legitimacy of royal rule.
But it is undeniable that a member of the Green Circle who can build the "Oak Holy Residence" has an achievement similar to that of a mage, which is equivalent to opening a magic academy and building a mage tower!
The shocking scene was not over yet, when the strong oak tree produced a huge acorn, which expanded rapidly like a balloon. Due to its own weight, it broke away from the branches and fell to the ground, leaving several cracks in the green tree.
The light shot out and burst the acorn shell in one breath.
It was a blurry human form covered in emerald light, as if it was made up of the purest natural energy. At the same time, three small kingfishers flew above the emerald light human form, and their body shapes changed, gradually merging with the emerald light human form.
Finally, a middle-aged man wearing a green feather robe slowly floated to the ground and stood in front of Xuan Weizi and Master Nelum. His face was somewhat similar to Tar Valon, but at the moment he had both beard and hair.
Black, even under the sunlight, it appears faintly green.
Tarvalon, who described his body as completely new, just glanced at Master Nelum, then bowed deeply to Xuan Weizi, pressed his chest and saluted, and said: "Dr. Olenso, thanks to your guidance, I not only completed the Oak Holy Residence, but also
Obtain the 'Eternal Body', and the Emerald Ring will be your most loyal partner."
When Master Nelum heard what Tar Valon said, he first instinctively used detection spells to scan around, completely ignoring the other party. However, Tar Valon seemed to be happy for the other party to do this. He just stood tall, his breath and the oak wood behind him
The holy places are connected, and the magical aura almost covers half of the sky.
"An ageless body? It's really an ageless body?!" Master Nelem didn't think much about anything else. When he saw the other party's healthy and vital body, he felt a strong desire in his heart. Then he turned back and stared at Theus with words like
It's like it's coming out of your mouth:
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!"
Theus was speechless to argue. How did he know that these things would happen? He just remembered that Xuan Weizi told him not to go near the place where Tar Valon was conducting experiments. Of course, he obeyed obediently and did not even dare to pry. Who had ever
Do you think such an oak sanctuary would suddenly appear?
Master Nelum turned his head, and the thoughts in his mind were racing. Although he was a ninth-level mage, the degree to which a mage cherished life was directly proportional to the arcane level. Especially after enjoying a rich and beautiful life, Master Nelum had
A woman's desire has never diminished, even if it is to pursue a longer life, Master Nelum is not willing to transform into a lich or any other strange state.
He wants more extreme enjoyment! He wants a healthier life! He wants endless glory and wealth!
"Life itself is the greatest desire." Xuan Weizi did not need any means of detecting thoughts to guess what Master Nelem was thinking at this moment.
For alchemy monks who pursue immortality and long-term vision, Xuan Weizi is very aware of this desire, because it is a desire that must be rooted in life itself. If you explore and practice inward, you will definitely face this desire.
As a life, its fundamental desire is to continue itself. No matter whether it has intelligence or not, and whether it has advanced cognitive abilities or not. Even this desire itself is the driving force for the continuation of life and the basis for the reproduction of species.
And this desire goes a step further and derives from lust.
For high-level mages with strong individual abilities, their desire to continue themselves must be quite strong. Compared with reproducing offspring, the desire to let themselves exist longer may be stronger.
Just now, Xuan Weizi inspected the body of Master Nelum and realized that his vitality relied on medicine and spells to maintain his current state. His actual lifespan was far longer than what appeared on the surface, which showed that he was possessive of his own life.
.
Although there are many ways to extend lifespan in this world, and you can even transform into an immortal lich, or you can abandon your body and live on spiritually like an astral psychic, the price paid by your body is too high, which discourages some people and always wants to
Another opportunity to make a living.
Now that Tar Valon has reshaped his body, his Druid spells have improved, he has gained an immortal body, and he has received guidance from Xuan Weizi on the "Essential Spirit". When the vitality of his body is restored to the peak of youth, the decline in physical fitness caused by aging can also be seen.
To improve again can be said to be a leap forward.
No wonder he chose this time to show up, specifically to show off in front of Master Nelum. Of course, as soon as Tar Valon opened his mouth, Xuan Weizi was dragged into the water.
"You're not polite at all." Xuan Weizi smiled inwardly. Seeing the stiff smile on Master Nelum's face, Xuan Weizi had no choice but to ask:
"Your Excellency Nelem, this is the Druid of Tarvalon of the Green Ring. Whether the Pentagram Tower can build a communication crystal tower here, it is best to obtain his approval first. I can't make the decision."
Xuan Weizi looked at Ta Valon and said with a smile: "Am I right?"
Ta Valon knew Xuan Weizi's intentions. Although he didn't like the mage, he had to compromise for the sake of long-term development. He just maintained his grace and said: "If the mage chooses to build a communication crystal tower here, I will
It’s not easy to object, it’s just that I need to obtain a right.”
"What rights?" Master Nelum asked.
"The Green Ring's right to preach in the New World!"
