Chapter 72 Gemstone Magic (please order first)
Pei Ze was thinking about it when Gu Lin had already chosen his companion and came over and said, "Let's go. After forming the team, we have to register."
So the group went back to the office next door to register. Got my own team number.
Pei Ze is 32 and Gu Lin is 33.
It is worth mentioning that they will stay in the station for the rest of the day and are prohibited from leaving the station until the operation begins.
During this period, the city guards will arrange accommodation and food for them.
Pei Ze didn't mind this at all, settled down at the station with peace of mind, and continued to meditate and practice breathing techniques every day.
After being promoted to a Grand Knight, the tempering effect of Qinglan's breathing method on the physique has been significantly weakened.
After practicing the breathing method three times a day, the physical fitness has increased by less than 0.1 points.
Pei Ze estimates that simply relying on Qinglan's breathing method, the hope of being promoted to a legendary knight is very slim, and not much higher.
Perhaps only by practicing higher-level extreme breathing techniques can one ensure a high probability of being promoted to a legendary knight.
However, Pei Ze is not in a hurry. At this stage, he is still focusing on building will runes and learning spells. When the task bar is free, it will not be too late to upgrade and improve Qinglan's breathing method.
On the second day after moving into the station, Will Rune No. 23 was successfully constructed, and Pei Ze's mental attributes suddenly increased by 3.8 points, reaching 95.38.
In addition, he analyzed a new spell - Silent Phantom!
This spell can create the phantom of a single object or creature. Its appearance is freely imagined by the caster, and it is very practical in combat.
The disadvantage is that the phantom created has no sound, smell, or body temperature, and can only move arbitrarily within a certain range.
At this point, Pei Ze has mastered five first-level spells.
For a third-level wizard apprentice who had just been promoted for less than a month, this amount was undoubtedly astonishing.
It takes an average third-level wizard apprentice one or two months to master a first-level spell without any external help.
Even a genius like Gu Lin, who is assisted by many strange objects and potions, often needs ten days and a half to master a single spell.
Compared with them, Pei Ze's speed in mastering spells is simply terrifying!
"We still need the weakening ray and jumping skills."
Pei Ze looked at the two spell books in his hands.
The total analysis time for the two first-level spells is only more than ten days, and he plans to finish it one after another in these days.
As for more first-level spells, it is not too late to learn them slowly after all the will runes are constructed.
There is a saying among wizard apprentices that only third-level wizard apprentices who master at least five first-level spells can be called true third-level wizard apprentices.
Compared with zero-level spells that are more functional, one-level spells cover many aspects such as attack, defense, field control, and mobility, and are more effective and more powerful.
Only third-level wizard apprentices who have mastered a sufficient number of first-level spells and built their own exclusive combat system can be regarded as truly powerful.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
After completing his daily meditation routine, Pei Ze walked out of his residence and came to the square outside.
I have to admit that the city guards made very thoughtful arrangements.
In addition to food and accommodation, many metal targets were placed in the square next to the residence, specifically for wizard apprentices to experiment with spells and knights to practice combat skills.
At this time, there were many wizard apprentices and knights practicing in the wide square, and the roaring and roaring sounds were endless.
In the past two days, wizard apprentices have arrived one after another.
Pei Ze estimated that the number of third-level wizard apprentices participating in the encirclement and suppression operation was probably over 100.
Most of these people are third graders.
There are less than ten sophomores.
There were only two first-year students, namely him and Gu Lin.
So much so that no matter where he goes, Pei Ze will attract the attention of many people.
Fortunately, he has long been accustomed to this.
Arriving at the square, Su Ya and Peng Yan were practicing combat skills.
Pei Ze stopped and watched quietly.
Su Ya practices an advanced breathing method that focuses on agility. Her movements are quick and dexterous, and combined with her delicate appearance, she looks like a dancing elf.
But whoever really thinks of her as an elf will end up dying under the girl's lightning-fast attack.
The sharp sword blade was like a lightning bolt in Su Ya's hand, leaping rapidly in the void, occasionally tearing the air and creating a sonic boom that made people feel terrified.
"This combat skill is somewhat similar to Ji Flash."
Pei Ze murmured, turning his head and looking to the other side.
Peng Yan practices an elementary breathing method that focuses on physical fitness and strength. It emphasizes using force to overwhelm people and attacking with wide open range, which suits his iron tower-like body shape.
His weapon is a two-handed heavy sword that is as wide as a door panel. When he swings it, a low whistling sound can be heard, and he sets off a large violent air wave. Just looking at it can make people feel heart palpitations.
Not far away, Gu Lin was also practicing spells.
The girl stretched her palms forward and faced forward. As she spoke a few syllables from her mouth, a blazing flame instantly spurted out from her palms and swept forward in a cone shape, covering a large area in front of her.
Burning Hands!
After observing for the past two days, Pei Ze discovered that Gu Lin seemed to have a special liking for fire spells.
The only two spells he mastered were fireball and burning hands. He didn't even learn mage armor, so his behavior was really different from that of ordinary apprentices.
At this time, Pei Ze suddenly caught a glimpse of someone walking this way from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw that it was Fan He.
"Junior Pei Ze, I knew you would definitely come." Fan He said with a smile, "You are here for the spot in the Secret Realm of Truth." "Yes, but it doesn't look like there is
much hope." Pei Ze said with a shrug. Looking behind Fan He, he asked, "Senior Sister Yin Xue, isn't she here?"
At the mention of Yin Xue, Fan He showed a look of envy mixed with awe on his face, and said, "Yin Xue is in seclusion to attack the realm of wizards. If nothing else, she will wait until we return. By then, she should have been promoted to an official wizard."
Pei Ze was stunned, and then sighed secretly.
The senior sister was only one step away from becoming a formal wizard, and it was expected that she would now try to make a breakthrough.
Once successful, she will be able to graduate as a wizard in the future and have a bright future.
Among the four major wizarding academies in Dawn City, those who have been able to become wizards through advanced meditation methods before graduation have eventually become important figures in Dawn City as long as they do not die unexpectedly during the process!
The ones with the lowest achievements are all level three wizards!
In particular, Yin Xue practiced the advanced meditation method of 24 will runes in the 'top grid'.
Future achievements will be even more limitless.
"Gu Lin is here too." Fan He looked over Pei Ze's shoulder and looked at Gu Lin who was practicing spells, "Fireball and Burning Hands, tsk tsk, I heard that Gu Lin has just been promoted for less than half a month, so he has mastered two links. Magic, the Gu family learns magic much faster than others."
Pei Ze raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "How should I say?"
Fan He said with a smile: "Have you heard of the Gu family's gem magic?"
Pei Ze shook his head. Shaking his head, he didn't know much about the wizard family.
Fan He didn't care and said patiently: "You should know that gems are not just luxury goods. In the hands of wizards, different gems can produce different special effects."
Pei Ze nodded.
He had read about this knowledge in books.
Many wizards who specialize in enchantment like to inlay gems on their staffs. This is not only to increase the beauty of the staff, but also to enhance the effectiveness of the staff.
Many gems can be transformed into precious enchanting materials after special treatment.
For example, red zircon, also known as hyacinth stone or flame stone, can greatly enhance the power of fire spells after being embedded in a staff with solidified fire spells.
Another example is sapphire, which can greatly enhance the effect of summoning spells after being embedded in a staff with solidified summoning spells.
There are also opal, diamond, moonstone, pale green stone, halostone, etc., each with its own good effects.
After thousands of years of research and development, wizards have already built a complete system of gem enchantment.
Therefore, in this world, many gems are worth far more than Pei Ze's previous life.
Seeing Pei Ze nod, Fan He continued: "Gemstones are usually used as enchanting materials, but the ancestors of the Gu family took a different approach and developed a method to use gems as a spell-casting medium to greatly increase the power of spells, reduce spell-casting costs, and even cast higher-level spells. The spell system, this is the Gu family’s famous gem magic.”
Leap-level spell casting!
Pei Ze was surprised.
Due to the limitation of mental power, the third-level wizard apprentice can only cast one level of spell at most.
But if gem magic is really as powerful as Fan He said, then wouldn't Gu Lin be able to use gems to cast second-level spells?
This is a real killer move!
Pei Ze couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Now that I think about it, Gu Lin may not have been really afraid of him in the last battle in the trial.
Most likely, as she said, when the dust settled on the first place, it didn't matter if you wanted points or not, so she handed over all the points without any regrets.
Pei Ze took a deep look at Gu Lin, who was not far away.
At this moment, Gu Lin finished the practice and noticed Pei Ze and Fan He.
She seemed to recognize Fan He and walked over to say hello casually, and the latter responded with a smile.
There was a sudden commotion not far away.
The three of them turned around and saw a group of soldiers passing by, escorting a man covered in bruises and shaking his head.
One of the soldiers behind was still holding a pile of sundries in his hands.
Pei Ze's eyes fell on a badge on the top of the debris pile.
With his excellent eyesight, he could clearly see the pattern on the surface of the badge - countless arms of different lengths and thicknesses, vying to emerge from a black well, with a strange and sinister meaning.
"They are heretics with deep resentment." Fan He said in a low voice.
Pei Ze's eyes flashed slightly.
These days, he has learned a lot of information about the Hand of Resentment from Gu Lin, and has a general understanding of this sect.
Every pagan religion has its own objects of belief.
Gods, demons, demons, legendary creatures. The objects of belief may be different, but there is usually only one.
Only the Hands of Resentment are special. They have multiple objects of faith.
It is rumored that there are dozens or hundreds of pools called wells of darkness on the 73rd floor of the Abyss.
In each well of darkness, a great demon, demon lord or evil god is imprisoned and sealed.
During the long years of imprisonment, in order to escape the well of darkness, these beings gradually reached a consensus, united and extended their tentacles to many material planes, using power as a temptation, each developed a large number of believers, and gathered together to form the Hand of Grudge. Such a special sect.
Depending on the specific objects of belief, there are many groups within the Hand of Resentment.
The target of this joint encirclement and suppression campaign by the City Guards and the Tower Academy is one of the groups whose object of worship is the great demon Abep.
It is rumored that Abep is a giant basalt stone demon with six arms.
He has an indestructible huge body and powerful magical power to control the earth element.
Therefore, believers who believe in him often have strong bodies and earth spell-like abilities.
For example, the demonizer Pei Ze once met had a strong and invulnerable physique.
In recent months, while the wizards of Dawn City have focused their attention on the new dimension, the power of Abepu's followers has expanded rapidly.
They obtained Abep's blood through rituals, then refined it into demon potion, spread it secretly, and gradually expanded their power.
Many knights and wizard apprentices who blindly pursued power were tempted to take demonic potions and became members of Abepu's followers.
Among these people, those who are not compatible with the devil's potion become demonizers.
Those who have good compatibility with the devil's potion will become a demon disciple after completely digesting the energy of the devil's potion, and initially awaken their earth spell-like abilities.
Once a sufficiently devout demon has made enough achievements, he will be given dark well water by the sect's senior leaders, and after taking it, he will be promoted to a binge drinker.
Among Abepu's followers, binge drinkers are already considered middle-level cadres.
Further up are the core high-level priests and bishops.
Watching the soldiers escorting the heretics and disappearing around the corner, Fan He said with a solemn expression: "It seems that the encirclement and suppression operation will start soon."
He turned to Pei Ze and Gu Lin and said: "It's best not to do anything in the past two days. It’s time to practice your spells, try to preserve your mental power and recharge your batteries.”
Pei Ze and Gu Lin looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Separating from Fan He and Gu Lin, Pei Ze did not stay to continue watching Su Ya and Peng Yan practice, and turned back to his residence.
When he returned to his residence, he saw Wuyu lying by the window basking in the sun as soon as he entered. Xiaoyi was combing its feathers, with a flattering smile on his face, and babbled a few words from time to time, as if to ask whether he was satisfied or not.
A look of astonishment appeared on Pei Ze's face.
After moving into the station, Xiao Yi's naughty nature quickly became uncontrollable. In the past two days, he had been playing pranks everywhere, teasing the poor soldiers and making them miserable.
So much so that the chief of the city guard came to Pei Ze and begged him to take care of Xiao Yi. Pei Ze then grounded her and sent Wu Yu to keep an eye on her.
I have to admit, this trick is very useful.
Xiao Yi was originally a little afraid of Wuyu, and she was deeply afraid that one day Wuyu would eat her like the crows, so she was very well-behaved all day yesterday.
Unexpectedly, the little guy was uncharacteristically courting Wuyu today.
Is this a sexual transition?
Pei Ze laughed and shook his head, letting the two little guys interact. He sat down at the desk, took out a book and started reading.
It's called reading, but it's actually scanning.
The Omniscient Eye is completely integrated with Pei Ze's soul, and any knowledge scanned and recorded by it will be transmitted to his mind through direct infusion.
This method allows him to memorize knowledge points permanently at one time.
You don't need to constantly review previous knowledge like other people to achieve long-term memory.
Absolute photographic memory is the omniscient eye's ability to analyze and improve.
Although wizards have developed their bodies and their thinking and memory abilities are far superior to ordinary people, they still cannot have photographic memory.
Especially when a wizard reaches an advanced stage, the knowledge that needs to be memorized becomes more complex and complex.
Maybe wizards can have a photographic memory of a small amount of knowledge, but in the face of a vast sea of knowledge, they can only memorize and understand it step by step.
Knowledge is the source of power for wizards, but it is also the shackles that prevent wizards from breaking through the realm.
Without sufficient knowledge, wizards will have difficulty mastering spells, mastering various metamagic techniques, and refining various potions, puppets, and magic props.
Even Pei Ze, who has an omniscient eye, cannot help but draw knowledge from various books.
After all, the omniscient eye at this stage is not truly omniscient, and still needs various kinds of knowledge as a basis for analysis and improvement.
Of course, Pei Ze can now use his omniscient eye to create a new spell out of thin air, but the time required will be astronomical.
Even the omniscient meditation method is an upgrade based on the general meditation method, and it is not truly created from scratch.
For this reason, Pei Ze always keeps a lot of books in his dimensional bag, which he borrowed from the library with money, and he takes them out to 'browse' whenever he has time.
It is worth mentioning that since coming out of the Secret Realm of Truth, Pei Ze has found that his thinking ability and memory have improved significantly, and his meditation efficiency has also improved a lot. He estimates that this is the improvement in qualifications that Yin Xue mentioned.
Seeing Pei Ze starting to read a book, Xiao Yi consciously stopped playing around.
The room quickly became quiet.
This time I saw the evening.
Pei Ze closed the book, stretched, and stood up to fill his stomach.
The resident specially arranged a chef to cook a small stove for wizard apprentices like them, but Pei Ze felt that the taste was not as good as his craftsmanship.
Before coming to the station, he specially made a lot of sandwiches and put them in the dimensional bag, and he used these to fill his stomach in the past two days.
After that, he fed Xiaoyi and Wuyu nectar and magic stone coins respectively.
After everything was done, it was already dark outside.
Pei Ze was thinking about whether to continue reading or practice breathing techniques tonight, when a deep voice suddenly sounded in his mind out of thin air.
"All wizard apprentices must gather in the command hall immediately!"
Messaging!
Pei Ze's heart moved, and he knew that the encirclement and suppression operation was finally about to begin.
