You know, the current Garneman Empire has completely banned shadow magic, where would ordinary people dare to violate this? Therefore, even if someone really discovers the vein of the Shadow Demon Stone, they will only dare to report it to the Empire, and they will not dare to dig it privately.

Because of this, it is impossible to buy Shadow Magic Stones on the normal market, and it is only in the black market that such a rarity exists.

I have to say that the third benefit that Carlos said did impress Dylan. As a shadow mage, it was already very difficult for Dylan to practice magic, and the improvement of his strength in the later stage would inevitably require the use of shadow magic stones.

Seeing that Dylan was obviously hesitant, Carlos said, "And not only that, as long as you agree to join our Arcane Brotherhood, I can guide you in learning shadow magic. ”

Dylan was naturally very happy, he had hoped to find someone who could help him continue to study shadow magic in depth, and now that Carlos was willing, of course he was looking forward to it.

"However, my current strength is still too poor, and even if I enter the Arcane Brotherhood, it won't help much. "Dylan clearly doesn't have confidence in his own strength.

But he heard Carlos say: "Not to mention that your spiritual power is extremely strong, you will definitely become a powerful shadow mage in the future." What's more, now you're learning the art of casting with expert forger Rick Spirits, which is a huge advantage in itself. You know, our Arcane Brotherhood has a large population and a lot of weapons and equipment to consume, so you can definitely help a lot in the future. ”

Hearing Carlos's words, Dylan finally nodded after thinking for a long time: "Okay then, I can only say try my best to help." ”

Carlos saw that Dylan finally agreed to join the Brotherhood, and he felt a wave of ecstasy. Because he had tested Dylan's mental strength before, the average shadow mage could only see a bright star, while a few with strong talent could see a crescent moon and a full moon, which was already a rare genius in a century, but what about Dylan? He actually saw the entire starry sky! And the whole starry sky with a full moon?

Such spiritual strength had to make Carlos admire.

You know, psychic power is extremely important for any magician. Because the stronger the mental power, the faster the magician enters the meditation state to recover his magic power, the faster the magic level will be advanced, and the shorter the time to cast spells and chant spells.

Just imagine, an ordinary shadow mage in a meditative state can only absorb the shadow power of one star. And Dylan entered meditation, but he was able to absorb the power of the entire starry sky, and the gap between the two was really worlds apart, and it was not on the same level at all.

It's just that all magicians are extremely vulnerable in a meditative state, because they can't feel everything in the outside world, and they are immersed in a meditative state. This is also the fatal flaw of magicians. Some warriors will try their best to drain the magic in the mage's body when they face off against the mage, and when the mage is unable to cast the magic, they will strike a fatal blow to them.

In addition to practicing proficiency in magic spells, magicians also need to improve their magic level through meditation, and the stronger the mental power of the magician, the faster the level will naturally increase.

Therefore, even if Dylan's strength is not strong now, Dylan is still very young, only a thirteen-year-old boy, and his potential is infinite, and he will definitely be able to make the Tantric Brotherhood famous in the entire Garneman Empire, and even the entire Violet Continent in the future.

Every time he thinks of this, Carlos is extremely excited and looking forward to it, this time he can accidentally find such a peerless genius as Dylan, it is really a treasure.

"Now that you've agreed to join the Arcane Brotherhood, there's some necessary information you need to know. ”

As he spoke, Carlos walked to the front of the map, pointed to the dozens of red markers on it, and said, "These marked red dots are the strongholds set up by our Arcane Brotherhood in the Garneman Empire. When the Brotherhood was first formed, we were mainly active around the Imperial Capital, and there was only one stronghold such as the Gopher Tavern. But now, the whole of Ghaniman has spread over our stronghold, and there are now seventy-seven. ”

Looking at the dense red dots, Dylan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that the scale of the Arcane Brotherhood had become so large, basically penetrating the entire Garneman Empire.

"In the future, if you are in trouble anywhere in the empire, you can go to these strongholds and ask your brothers for help. Once you join the brotherhood, you are a lifelong brother. After Carlos finished speaking, he held out a hand to Dylan with a serious face.

Dylan, though a little surprised, held out a hand in the same way.

Carlos squeezed Dylan's palm, and then his thumb arced over the back of Dylan's hand: "Remember, this is the code language of our brotherhood. Ordinary people shaking hands will not have such a casual small action. As long as the person shaking your hand does this, then he should be a member of our Arcane Brotherhood. Remember?"

Dylan nodded, "yes, remember." ”

Carlos then said, "The last time I went to see you at Rick's, I didn't help you test your mage level because I was in too hasty. Since you're at the Gopher Tavern today, I'll test it out for you. ”

With that, he took out four square pieces of paper from the low cabinet beside him, each with a spell recorded on it. Then, he took out a few black magic stones of different specifications.

The moment he saw the Shadow Magic Stone, Dylan knew in his heart that what Carlos had just said was true, and the Secret Brotherhood really had a Shadow Magic Stone.

"These are level 1 to level 4 shadow magic spells, and we use the simplest 'Gathering Spell', which is to refine the shadow magic in these magic stones and use them for our own use. Carlos said, handing the first piece of paper and a small Shadow Stone to Dylan.

"Let's start with the Level 1 Gathering Spell. The mantra is very simple, and with your understanding, you should be able to memorize it at once. ”

After saying that, Carlos looked at Dylan with anticipation, and he also wanted to know how many levels of magician Dylan was now.

Dylan took a deep breath, then glanced at the piece of paper, and soon he memorized the spell, and then concentrated all his mental power on the small Shadow Stone.

As soon as the incantation was recited, the black magic in the magic stone quickly flew out of it, circled around Dylan, and burrowed into his body.

Dylan only felt a warm current flowing through his body, which made people feel very comfortable.

Obviously, Dylan had reached at least the strength of a first-level magician.

Then the second and third levels were successfully passed.

It wasn't until the fourth level, when Dylan finished reciting the incantation, that he felt weak and fell on the table. It seems that he can't complete the casting of the fourth-level gathering spell now.

Seeing the slight disappointment in Dylan's eyes, Carlos comforted him: "It's already good, you are completely on your own, and after only two months of study, you are already a third-level shadow mage, which is already very remarkable." If an ordinary person wants to become a third-level magician, it basically takes four or five years, but you only need two months, which is already very terrifying. ”

The first, second, and third level magicians are junior magicians, the fourth, fifth, and sixth level magicians are intermediate, and the seven, eight, and nine are advanced, that is to say, although Dylan is still only a junior magician, as long as he is promoted to another level and becomes a fourth-level magician, it is considered intermediate.

Once you become an intermediate magician, you can be considered a little famous. After all, more than half of the magicians can only stay at the beginning of their lives.
