Chapter 137 Initiation of Tree Man and Vine Boxer (two weeks)

Chapter 137: Enlightened Tree Man and Vine Boxer (two weeks)

 Two weeks later, in Locke's laboratory.

 On the laboratory workbench is a short five-year-old apple tree potted in a pot. This potted plant has been specially treated so that it will only grow to the height of a child and will not get any taller. It looks very small and exquisite.

 There are some fiery red apples hanging on this apple tree, which looks like some small red lanterns hanging on it. This kind of potted apple tree is called [Aiden Sprig].

   is a first-class wizard apprentice, the best magic plant used to practice a very complex spell model [Enlightened Treeman].

 Enlightening tree people is something that can only be done by a first-level wizard, the plant magic sub-direction of the life school.

But using the simplified [Attune Treeman] and the special matching magic plant [Aiden Sprig], you can do this at the first-level wizard apprentice stage.

 It is very important to be able to do this. It can improve this wizard's understanding of first-level spells to the greatest extent.

  If a first-class wizard apprentice wants to become an official wizard, he must not only meet the mental strength standards, but also have a corresponding understanding of the first-level botanical spells and be able to construct his own first-level first-level spells.

 In a sense, before the first-level spell, all the sleight-of-hand models learned by the wizard apprentice are prepared for his first first-level spell.

As Locke chanted the spell, 89 Ogham tree symbols flashed past [Aiden Branch].

Then the apple tree, like a child, crawled slowly out of the flower pot. In the process, its trunk gradually revealed facial features, and its movements became more and more flexible.

 But at the moment when the little tree man of the apple tree climbed out of the pot and placed its roots on the console, at least nine of the Ogham letters on the surface of the apple tree suddenly flashed, and then the entire spell model quickly collapsed.

 The [Aiden Branch] seemed to be under a huge pressure, and the trunk part of the tree made "clicking~" and "clicking" sounds. It quickly degenerated and returned from the prototype of a tree man to an ordinary tree.

 Then, its skin cracked and some branches broke.

Locke's eyes remained unchanged. He was not surprised by this situation. The Enlightenment Tree Man was the magic model that Sophia Witch asked him to learn two weeks ago.

 Sofia Witch believes that this will be of great benefit to her understanding of the first-level spell.

 The biggest gain from learning this spell is not to gain the power of a powerful spell, but to assist oneself in the road ahead.

 Hence, I spent one hundred magic stones to buy a [Aiden Sprig] apple potted plant, and spent another five hundred magic stones to sign up for this course in the public classroom. If there was anything I really couldn’t understand, I would ask Witch Sophia for help.

 After these two weeks of study, this was his first attempt, but it really failed.

“My mana is still not enough to turn ordinary magic plants into tree people. This is the first reason for failure.” Locke thought: “The second failure point is that the 89 Ogham trees are too complicated, so my understanding is biased. There was a problem with the spell model from the beginning.”

   "When the mana is running, there are even more mistakes." Locke thought: "But it doesn't matter, the failure is only temporary, I can continue to learn slowly."

   "The plantation has begun to deliver the second batch of crystal palm fire lotus." Locke thought. Said: "Perhaps the academy may sign another centralized purchasing contract with me in the near future."

   "As long as there are enough resources, I can buy more [Aiden Sprigs]. As long as there are enough training materials, my speed in learning the spell model of Attunement Tree Man will not be too slow."

 I have been raised to the first level of qualifications because of the Blood Nightshade, and the Dark Sapphire Diamond improves the stability and accuracy of my magic power. Together with the memory ointment, it improves my learning speed, so as long as I am willing to spend money, I can invest a lot of resources.

 His own speed in learning this spell is probably not slower than that of the Sons of Elements.

 Locke looked at the half-destroyed Aiden branch and said: "I can still try 2 or 3 times. It seems like another big expense, but this money must be spent."

 "Learning to enlighten the tree people can improve my understanding of plant magic."

Locke looked at the three ominous Mandela vines wrapped around his right hand. After doubling his mana, he naturally had to learn more spells and more powerful spell models to convert the increased mana into his actual combat power.

 In the past two weeks, I have successfully sketched out a 40-piece Ogham 7-ring magic model [Vine Boxing].

  This is the second spell in the Vine Frenzy series.

 Locke chanted a spell gently, and as a result, the three mandrake vines in his right hand each branched into five branches. The ends of these five branches curled up and turned into a fist outlined by the vines.

  Immediately afterwards, these fifteen vine fists bombarded the air in the laboratory like raindrops, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard one after another.

 After about three minutes, the spell stopped.

 Locke looked at this scene with satisfaction.

 Vine boxing is a spell that allows three ominous Mandela vines to form a special attack method, creating a physical attack like a violent storm on the enemy in an instant.

 The Vine Frenzy series also has three spells, namely [Vine Sting], [Vine Whip], and [Vine Strangulation].

 Including the vine punch now used by Locke, coupled with the previous multiple manipulations, these are all the spells in the Vine Frenzy series.

 These four spells are all level 5, so there is no need to sign up for special classes to learn them. Moreover, the four spells are very similar. If you learn one, you can quickly master how to apply the others.

 By combining five spells, you can use powerful vine spells to plunge the enemy into continuous and intensive attacks.

 At the same time, the poison berry projectiles from the previous Vine Hand series still have some value and can be mixed in for use.

 This set of combined attacks is a standard spell for a first-class wizard apprentice in the plant magic sub-direction.

 At this time, Locke temporarily put aside learning spells and went to Sophia's office.

  In Sophia's office.

 Locke asked Sophia: "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

 Sophia the witch nodded and asked. "Locke, how's your memory ointment going lately? It seems to me that you've given it to a third-class wizard apprentice."

Locke raised his lips and said, "Teacher, the situation is very good. The name of the third-class wizard apprentice is Pierre. After using my memory ointment, his memory performance increased by approximately 50%." , they all found that his memory has improved astonishingly, and his learning speed has accelerated a lot. "

"Due to the effect of the memory ointment, he is now almost a second-class wizard apprentice. I predict that he will become a second-class wizard apprentice in six months."

Locke added: "But he has a level 4 qualification, and it is normal for him to become a second-class wizard apprentice in about three years."

  "But the memory ointment undoubtedly played a catalytic role."

 Sophia Witch was slightly surprised. "Fifty percent? Well, the effect is slightly beyond my expectation. But just be aware that your ointment is unlikely to cause any experimental accidents under normal circumstances."

  "Remember to record the side effects. Especially, don't omit some symptoms that seem to have nothing to do with the experiment, those are likely to be indirect reactions caused by the experiment."

 Sophia imparted her experience: "I came to you to tell you about the breeder certification exam you signed up for last week."

 Sofia's expression was a little strange. "To tell you the truth, for some reason, I have a bad relationship with this year's examiner. If you participate this year, you will most likely fail."

“So, do you still want to participate?”
