Chapter 186 Snippet
"Should I be promoted directly as soon as I reach the third-level mage apprenticeship?" Hearing Gao De's statement, He Xi confirmed: "No more settling in?"
According to common sense, after reaching the third-level mage apprenticeship, it is best to settle down for a period of time before starting to be promoted.
"I have already settled down before I became a third-class mage apprentice," Gothe was embarrassed to be completely prevaricating, and told the truth, "I learn things very quickly, including spells."
"In this way." He Xi said that he could not refute Gothe's words.
He thought for a moment and said proactively: "Do you need any help from me?"
"Teacher, I mainly want to ask you about your experience when you were promoted to a first-level mage."
Gothe hesitated for a moment, then said: "If you can, see if you have any tricks in your hand that are not in the college library."
He was a little hesitant when he said this, and took the initiative to ask He Xi for the spell formula, which was somewhat "offensive".
After all, in most cases, the spell combination in the hands of a mage is one of the spells he masters.
What's more, the spell formulas that the academy does not have are obviously rare spells.
However, He Xi obviously did not take this seriously.
He thought for a while and said to Gothe: "Wait a moment."
He Xi walked to the experimental table in the center of the workshop, picked up a pen and paper, handwritten two spell formulas for Gothe on the spot, and then handed them to Gothe.
[Druid Trick] (Transmutation, Level 0):
Whisper to the spirit of nature and create one of the following effects:
Create a small, harmless sensory effect, and use it to predict the weather conditions in your location for the next 24 hours. This effect can appear as a golden ball representing a clear sky, a cloud representing a rainy day, flying snowflakes representing a snowy day, etc.
It can instantly cause a flower to bloom, a seed to break its shell, and a leaf bud to sprout.
Create a small, harmless immediate sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a gentle breeze, the movement of small animals, or the faint scent of a skunk. This effect only works within a 5-foot cube.
Can instantly light or extinguish a candle, a torch or a small bonfire.
【Preemptive Opportunity to Defeat the Enemy】(Prophecy, Level 0):
You reach out your hand and point your finger at a creature within the casting range, and use magic power to instantly see through the target's defense.
"Actually, there are more than these two spells that I can learn that are not available in the academy, but" He Xi said confidently: "I am a rune master. Most of my energy is spent on learning runes, so I am a little neglected in spell learning."
With the addition of these two spells, the number of spells he masters will reach "44", which is infinitely close to 45.
It is basically stable.
"As for being promoted to a first-level mage." He Xi thought for a while, carefully recalled what happened hundreds of years ago, and slowly said:
"The process of rising to a higher level is actually divided into four stages. The first stage is to cleanse the blood and increase vitality."
"Generally speaking, the younger you are when you are promoted, the younger you are. The stronger the blood energy, the smoother this step will be. That's why it is said that the golden period for promotion to a first-level mage is before the age of twenty. "
"The function of this stage is to increase your lifespan after you are promoted to a first-level mage."
"Life span increase is a word that is very tempting to everyone.
Whether it is emperors, generals, monks, or even monkeys, they are all seeking longevity.
Similarly, high virtue is not exempt from vulgarity.
“How long will the lifespan of a first-level mage increase?” He couldn’t help but asked with concern.
"The theoretical upper limit of the lifespan of mortals and mage apprentices is 75 years old. The theoretical lifespan of a first-level mage will increase to 150 years old, a second-level mage is 225 years old, a third-level mage is 375 years old, a fourth-level mage is 600 years old, and so on."
150 years old. Still only a first-level mage.
The increase in lifespan has always been the superiority of supernatural power over technology.
Gao De was slightly emotional.
Hose Xi finished answering Gothe's question and continued: "The second stage is the transformation of mana into liquid."
"At the level of mage apprentice, the mana you practice is actually not much different from the magic power wandering in the outside world."
"The quality of such mana is too low, which results in an extremely limited amount of spells that a mage apprentice can cast. Even a third-level mage apprentice can cast twenty tricks at once."
"However, as long as you are promoted to a first-level mage, even if you have just been promoted, the number of spells you can cast will reach more than 80.
"The gap lies here. The reason why it is so great is that during the process of rising to the ring, the mana you practice undergoes a transformation and its quality undergoes a transformation. "
"At this stage, the higher the concentration of magic power in your environment, the higher the success rate of mana turning into liquid."
According to Gaode's popular understanding, "energy" is reprocessed, and the "sustainability" is greatly improved.
"The third stage of ring promotion is to remove mental impurities."
"Once you complete the third stage, you will have the ability to accurately perceive every little improvement and change in yourself, and you can even measure the growth of your mental power with precise numbers."
"The last step is to expand the magic star sea and open up a ring of star sea, which will be regarded as a successful promotion to a first-level mage."
"This is also the reason why mages determine their levels based on the number of rings."
"The water of spiritual ascension is a comprehensive magic potion that can provide assistance to you in four stages and increase the success rate of level up."
"Of course, you don't have to feel pressure. Even if the level up fails, it will not affect anything."
“Anyway, before the age of twenty is the golden age to be promoted to a first-level mage, you can try again every other year.” He Xi comforted Gaode and told him not to be too nervous.
For someone like He Xi, being promoted to the first level was not a big deal, but he still remembered how nervous he felt when he was promoted to the first level.
To make an analogy, promotion to the first level is like the "College Entrance Examination". Although there will be many tests in life thereafter, most people are always particularly impressed by the College Entrance Examination.
"I understand." Gaode thanked him.
"Wait a minute and I'll give you something." He Xi said again.
After saying that, he walked into the laboratory, took out a document within a moment, and handed it directly to Gothe.
Obviously it was prepared long ago.
Gaode took it and saw that it was an application for the use of a third-level training room. At the bottom of the document was He Xi's signature.
"When you are promoted, do it in the third-level training room, and with the assistance of the Ascension Water, you can almost guarantee that you will successfully complete the second stage." He Xi said.
"You don't have to worry about the cost. The college allocates a certain amount of free usage time to the third-level training room to us instructors every year. I haven't used it once this year, which is enough for you to use." He added.
That is indeed a bit of a waste. This was Gaode's first reaction.
Then, he hurriedly expressed his thanks to Jose.
"You don't have to be so polite to me," He Xi said with a smile, "I have no wife or children. You are my student. After I leave, everything should be inherited by you. These things that cannot be inherited, you can use them as much as you can while I am still here."
When saying this, He Xi looked at some details in the workroom.
Everything here was pieced together by his own hands.
"Don't take advantage of the academy." He finally said.
"Okay." Gothe thought of his last mentor "Seda" at this time. While feeling a little emotional in his heart, he subconsciously looked at He Xi from the corner of his eye.
Although the old man has been in excellent spirits recently, as if he has become decades younger, what is visible to the naked eye is that there are more and more yellowish-brown spots on his face.
This always gave Gaode a bad feeling in his heart.
