Chapter 214: Sage Conrad
System Prompt: You have found the top of the clouds and gain 350 XP.
The howling wind froze beside Lin Ling the moment he stepped out of the portal. The next moment, the cold wind blew his clothes into a hunting sound, and he looked up at the huge building erected in front of him that was even more imposing than the Rhine.
This is the top of the clouds, where the headquarters of the Magic Guild is located.
White snowdrifts cover the mountains on either side of the portal. Carved into an inverted mountain, the Arcane Flame burns in the center of the city, providing powerful kinetic energy to the Top of the Clouds to fly.
Lin Ling stepped on the long and narrow staircase covered with snow, and walked down the portal step by step, entering the bottom layer of the top of the clouds.
The arcane warrior in silver-white metal armor stood like statues on either side of the staircase, and as he stepped through the glittering stone door, the cold faded and white flashes rose from the ground, dazzling his eyes.
Behind the stone gate is an endless plaza the size of a plain.
Each floor tile in the square is made from a rare gemstone called a "translucent stone", and the surface of the floor tile is inscribed with lines of runes that only the master of inscription can understand.
Through those glass-mirrored stone bricks, Lin Ling could see the clouds and mist floating below the top of the clouds, the Rhine City carved on the White Stone Mountain, the Dawn Bell Tower and the Deep Water River at the highest point of the Rhine City, and the entire White Stone Plain.
The supreme ruler of the Magic Guild, the rumored Council of Five, overlooks the land from his perspective.
"Welcome, arcane mage."
Conrad, the Sage of the Council of Five, the publisher of the mission to clean up the Magic Temple, stands in the middle of the empty square.
Sage Conrad's appearance was no different from that of an ordinary bad old man NPC, his hair and beard were all white, his eyebrows were pale gold, the white robe he wore was not particularly ornamental, a hemp rope-like messy belt was tied around his waist, and the hem of the robe dragged long on the ground, covering the soles of his feet.
But it's this NPC who looks like an ordinary bad old man, who manages the magic guild along with four other NPCs, and secretly controls the situation on the League of Legends side.
Lin Ling stepped forward, and the Sage Conrad was just a neutral unit from his point of view, which meant that as long as he was willing to brush a little chaos value to change the faction tendency to chaos tendency, he would be able to attack the administrator of the daily affairs of this magic guild.
But Conrad's character name speaks volumes about how powerful he is.
The Sage is a demigod-like powerhouse, with a total stat twice as high as an ordinary lord-level boss. In the previous life, when Lin Ling checked the status of the Sage Conrad at level 90, the level position was still a "??? "Boss level character," ??? indicates that the character is at least 7 levels higher than the player.
"I'm sure Boguch told you what you deserve." As soon as Sage Conrad's words fell, a bookshelf appeared beside Lin Ling, and the bookshelf was filled with books that exuded magical aura, each of which was priceless.
"Yes."
Lin Ling nodded, he was told when he entered the office of Archmage Bo Guqi that he would go alone to the top of the clouds where the headquarters of the Magic Guild was located to meet the Sage Conrad to receive the task reward, and the magic book of Archmage Li Oumeng's apprentice Alesta had been exchanged for 2 skill points from Archmage Bo Guqi.
One side quest can be exchanged for 2 skill points, so what kind of rewards can be obtained for the main quest?
"Arcane mage." Sage Conrad walked up to Lin Ling and stretched out his big calloused hand.
Lin Ling handed over the teleportation scroll used to the Magic Temple to the Sage Conrad, and after Conrad checked it, he smiled and put it into his wide cuffs: "Congratulations, you have won a reward for yourself. ”
A golden light fell.
System prompt: The second-order mandatory quest "Clean the Magic Temple" is completed, and your level is increased to 20;
Vocational ability - focus effect to improve strong concentration; You've gained a new class ability slot;
You gain a new free stat and skill point;
You get a specialization point, talk to a career mentor and use it to learn a new specialization;
You've got a new chance to advance your magic; You have some magic to level up again.
Level 20.
Lin Ling smiled slightly, his rank ranking on the League of Legends side was fixed at 179th with the completion of the task, and he almost slipped out of the top 200.
"Tell me what kind of specialty you want to learn." Sage Conrad said to Lin Ling, "I promised Boguqi to provide guidance to any mage who completes the cleanup of the Magic Temple. ”
"The specialty I want to learn is ......"
The names of many high-level powerful specialties flashed through Lin Ling's mind for a moment, but he still chose a specialty that allowed him to use two pieces of mage equipment at the same time: "Dual Magic Weapon." ”
"Are you sure?" The corners of Sage Conrad's mouth showed a hint of arc.
"Sure."
Lin Ling nodded with great certainty.
"As you wish." Sage Conrad raised his hand, and an arcane light shot out from his palm, imprinting into Lin Ling's eyebrows, imprinting a faint rune mark in the center of his eyebrows.
System Prompt: You have learned a new specialty, "Double Magic Weapon";
Advanced Specialties: Dual Artifacts;
Limited: Mage;
Utility: You have reached a new level of use of magic weapons, allowing you to wield any mage-type weapon you can use in both hands, including but not limited to staffs and certain xenotypes that must be used with both hands, while activating their special abilities.
Special Effect: Under any "Focus" effect that causes you to enter the spell without being interrupted, you can cast a second spell with the off-hand equip at the same time, and the weapon equipped on the main hand will give you the ability to cast channeling spells, which cannot be countered.
That's right, this is it.
Lin Ling clenched his fists excitedly, his dual magic weapon expertise allowed him to equip two mage-specific weapons at the same time, regardless of whether they were to be used with both hands or not, and in the case of dual wielding, they could trigger their special abilities at the same time.
Without this specialty, he was unable to activate the "Wand: Essence of Lightning" special ability equipped in his off-hand when using the Blizzard, but with this specialty, he was able to bind the Elemental Serpent to the Blizzard. Once he activates Arcane Mage's "Class Ability-Focus", he can even prepare two spells with both hands at the same time, as long as the spell is not used intervals.
This is the power of the dual magic weapon.
Only members of the Council of Five, such as Sage Conrad, are qualified to teach players this specialty.
Lin Ling looked at the character interface, and the trigger effect of upgrading to the "Strong Focus" class ability also changed from providing a cast effect that could not be interrupted to increasing the additional spell power equivalent to the character's level, and at the same time providing a spell effect that could not be interrupted.
While not triggering Intense Focus, he still gains mana regeneration equal to the character's level.
"I want to learn new professional skills." Lin Ling was not going to save the professional ability slot for the Magic Guild to use, he knew very well what kind of professional ability a level 20 arcane mage could learn, and the reason why he wanted to learn from the Sage Conrad was nothing more than to see if there was more room for choice.
"I can only teach you one professional ability that you can currently master." To his surprise, Sage Conrad reluctantly agreed, "That's magic coordination." ”
"Magical coordination?"
Lin Ling remembered that professional ability. Magical coordination is used to coordinate the attrition between different types of magic, specifically, a free single-set resistance. For example, if he inflicts 3,000 fire damage on enemy units with Fireburst, he will gain about 10% damage, or 300 Fire Damage Resistance, before he uses the next Fireburst. If this damage resistance is depleted before he can use his next spell, his next Fire Spell has a 5% increased chance of Bash Spell, which can stack three times, up to a maximum of 15%, and only lasts 30 seconds.
In other words, this class ability is more suitable for the "civil war" between mages, and can play a very little role in other classes.
"Then the magic is coordinated."
Lin Ling also had a few spells on hand that could cause physical damage, and the secondary physical impact damage of the Flame Wings was the best example, he didn't know if the magic coordination could give back a physical damage resistance, in that case, even if it was only one-tenth, he would make a fortune.
System Hint: You've mastered a new class ability, Magic Coordination.
Class Ability: Magical Coordination;
Description: The spark of arcane helps you harmonize the power of all things in the world. Whenever you use magic to deal damage to a unit, you will gain a damage absorption equal to 10% of the damage value, which is the same as the damage you inflicted for 30 seconds, and the absorption effect cannot be stacked. If this effect is dispelled or shattered, your next spell of that system will have a 5% increased chance of critical hit, and the effect stacks up to 3 times for 30 seconds.
Note: Magic Coordination can only coordinate one spell at a time, and any damage absorption and critical hit chance boosts will replace the old ones.
"You can choose a magic book from my collection as a reward this time." After Sage Conrad finished speaking, his figure distorted and disappeared from Lin Ling's eyes.
The bookshelf behind him simultaneously emitted a pick-up flash.
Lin Ling turned around and looked at the dazzling bookshelves, what kind of arcane explosions, corpse summoning, hell resurrection and other powerful magic were everywhere in his eyes, if he picked them one by one, I am afraid he would be dazzled. He closed his eyes and pulled a magic book straight from the shelf.
System Prompt: When you remove the Frost Burst Spellbook from your bookshelf, a new quest "Ice Domain" will be triggered.
---------
In the afternoon, I read the newspaper and said that there were still highlights in yesterday's national football game, and Nima was really blind.
As for yesterday's competition, I can still write such an objective and neutral article, I can only say that this newspaper, which claims to fly into the homes of ordinary people, is not for a small person like me.
If you want me to say, the only bright thing about the national football team yesterday was that there was no goal when there was one more person!
