Three days have passed since Sawyer entered the Winter Castle Academy, and during these three days, Sawyer and Filina have not only studied some basic books, but also figured out how the academy works. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Winterhold Academy does not have regular courses, after all, the instructors and instructors also have their own research, and it is impossible to answer these students' questions every day, and they only take an afternoon or evening every other week to check the progress of the students and answer the students' questions by the way.

Life was even more boring for the first-year students, they didn't even need a mentor's guidance, a few entry-level books were enough for them to study for a while, and there weren't many places to go, either to study the principles of spells in their dorms or to discuss them with each other in the common room.

Compared with those students who have been enrolled for more than three months, Sawa and Filina are even weaker, Firina is okay, after all, she has studied enchantment under Farenjia for a period of time, and the level of enchantment has also reached the level of second-year students, except for the poor level of the destruction department and the recovery department, the level of the enchantment department is enough to guide other students.

And Sawyer is a lot more embarrassed, not to mention anything else, just the [Summoning 0, Destruction 1, Change 2] in the attribute bar can explain his embarrassment, in the magic skills of each department, those who are less than five levels are regarded as civilians, of course, this is a better name, and the more common name is "magic blindness", to put it bluntly, it is the "Muggle" in HP!

After three months of study, the worst of the other students reached the level of beginners, which was level 5, and Soya did not even have the level to communicate with them.

This also led to Sawyer's spending most of his time in the dormitory after getting the "textbook", except for the daily routine bow and sword practice, and only went out of the dormitory during meals.

However, today is obviously an exception, Sawyer had just finished his daily sword practice in the courtyard of the academy, and was just about to return to the achievement hall when he met Philina who had come out with Brilina.

"Ah, little Sawyer is going to climb those more than 400 stairs again?"

Brilina laughed, and Sawyer's face darkened.

This is also the thing that Sawyer wants to complain about the most, there is no elevator in the achievement hall up to twelve floors! There is no elevator! There is no elevator! Say the important thing three times!

It is said that Uncle Nei ((1))'s house is also equipped with an "elevator" ((2)) at a height of more than ten meters, as one of the most famous spell academies in the entire Tamriel, it is not installed in the student dormitory?

Sawyer could only think that the academy was exercising the physical fitness of the little mages, after all, these young mages who had just entered the school did not have a high level of spells, and they paid more attention to movement than casting spells when encountering battles.

"No way, in a few years, or just learn the levitation technique."

No matter how much Sawyer complains in his heart, he can only sigh faintly on the surface, who makes him not know how to float?

With a sigh, Sawyer was about to return to the Hall of Achievements and slowly climb the more than four hundred stairs, but was grabbed by Philina's arm:

"Soya Soya, today is the North Wind Prayer Day, let's go out for a walk together!"

"This ......"

Sawyer hesitated, but only for a second, and then lost to Filina's pleading expression, allowing Phirina to drag her out.

Of course, Sawyer retracted his bow and sword before he walked out of the academy gates, activating the cadet badge by the way.

[Cadet Badge, Accessory, Concentrate the Wearer, Activate: Cast the Winter Cloak for the Designated Target, 2/3]

[Winter Cloak, Variation System, Increases the user's Cold Resistance by 50 for 1 hour]

This student badge is simply a survival artifact on the ice field, cold resistance is different from ice resistance, the main role is to keep warm, reduce the temperature loss of the recipient, equivalent to adding a set of invisible clothes for the recipient, of course, it will also provide a little ice resistance, about every 10 points of cold resistance will cancel out 1 point of ice spell damage.

50 points of cold resistance does not seem to be able to resist many ice spells, but if you only look at the warmth effect, it can already be regarded as a rebellion, you know, the full set of snow bear fur equipment provided by Ms. Rami before is only equivalent to 60 points of cold resistance.

In addition, most of the value of this badge is in the item of "making the wearer concentrate", "concentration" looks very ordinary, but for junior students, it can not only improve the learning efficiency, but also greatly improve the success rate of spell casting.

You know, many young mages have a pitifully low success rate in casting spells, and most third-year students don't even have a 10% success rate in casting fire bombs.

Although these young mages memorized the necessary spell structures, they had to reconstruct and rearrange each spell structure each time they cast a spell, and at this time, the slightest external interference would affect them, disrupt the spell structure they had built, and cause the spell to fail.

If you wear this badge, you can greatly resist external interference, and the apprentices only need to build a spell structure with peace of mind, so that the success rate of spell casting can reach more than fifty percent, which greatly accelerates the speed of the students mastering the spell.

Of course, the spells mentioned here are all beginner spells similar to fire bombs and icicles, each spell has more than thirty spell structures, so many spell structures, if there are not thousands of successful spell casts, it is difficult to achieve a 100% success rate of casting.

Speaking of beginner spells, we have to talk about the level of spells.

Winterhold Academy divides conventional spells into apprentice spells, elementary, intermediate, and advanced spells, and master spells, corresponding to the five levels of classification in the game, and at the same time adds one more level of secondary spells, including magic tricks such as fluorescence and ignition, which some people also call "quasi-spells".

For example, regular secondary spells have a single-digit spell structure, which is simple and easy to remember, and can be mastered and successfully cast after a few days of study.

The apprentice spells are a little more complicated, the number of spell structures is mostly a dozen, and there are a few with more than twenty spell structures, and the spells at this level are relatively simple to master, but they also require several weeks or even more than a month of practice to fully master.

Apprentice spells have a certain actual combat effect, but the spell effect is poor, and the combat effectiveness is low.

For example, the Fire Tongue Technique and the Electric Light Technique can only cause a small amount of damage to the enemy, and if you want to make the enemy lose combat effectiveness, you must continue to attack for at least a few minutes.

Another example is the Wood Armor Technique and the Summoning Wolf Spirit, the former can block the stray arrows at most, and a junior warrior can shatter the protection of the Wood Armor Technique, not to mention the latter, ordinary wolf spirits can only bully civilians at most.

The spell structure of the beginner spell is between 30~100, usually no less than fifty, whether it is the difficulty of memorization or the difficulty of casting, it is more than ten times or even dozens of times higher than that of apprentice spells, and it usually takes several months of practice to cast it relatively smoothly.

However, compared to the higher difficulty of mastering, beginner spells also have high combat power, such as fire bullets, two can knock down an ordinary bandit, and the efficiency of mana is many times higher than that of fire tongues.

Another example is Stone Armor, Light Feather and Summoning the Ice Wolf Spirit, the Stone Armor Technique can already effectively resist the attack of the weapon, and at the same time has additional resistance to arrows, and the value of the Light Feather Technique is needless to say, and the Ice Wolf Spirit is also several times stronger than the ordinary wolf spirit, at least it is impossible for ordinary mercenaries to resist.

Medium-level spells with more than a hundred spell structures are even more difficult to master, and a complex model of hundreds of spell structures can take weeks or even more than a month to memorize, not to mention the time it takes to go from trying to construct a spell to casting it perfectly.

In addition, there are high-level spells with a spell structure of more than two hundred, and master-level spells with a spell structure of more than five hundred, which can not be mastered by time alone, if there is no talent beyond ordinary people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to master it perfectly until old age.

If conventional spells belong to the popular normative spells, unconventional spells are the means used by every high-level mage to press the bottom of the box, and these spells are more difficult to master than conventional spells of the same level, but they are several times more powerful than conventional spells.

Sawyer's original goal was to master all the beginner-level conventional spells of the Change, Destruction and Summoning system before leaving Winterhold Academy, but after in-depth knowledge of spells in the past few days, Sawyer silently changed his goal to master more than three beginner-level spells......

After a morning of shopping with Filina and Brilina, and a big dinner with the two girls, Sawyer returned to the academy again, he had a certain talent for spells, but not as rebellious as the talent of the dragonborn girls, and it would only take more time to achieve the goal he had set.

When he returned to his room, he was surprised to find Tovdil sitting on his bed with a large stack of books.

"Ahh You're back! Tovdill smiled and patted the place next to him.

"Mentor."

Sawyer bowed respectfully, and then sat down beside Tovdil.

"Don't be so restrained," Tovdil patted Sawyer on the shoulder and pointed to the large stack of books in his arms, "I found out before that your strength has reached the critical point of awakening, so I went to the Vault to find some related books in the past two days." ”

"This ......"

Sawa was stunned, and instantly became ecstatic, and there was also a warmth in his heart, and a thousand words finally turned into four simple words: "Thank you, mentor!" ”

"Nothing, as your mentor, that's all that should be done."

Tovdil waved his hand and smiled heartily, with a natural look in his tone, but Sawyer didn't think so.

The relationship between the tutor and the student in the academy is very light, basically a few words of guidance when he is in a good mood, and it is common for him to ignore it for a few months when he is in a bad mood.

"I have already prepared the materials for the altar, you first familiarize yourself with the methods and steps, and then carry out the awakening ceremony on the seventh of next month, the constellation of the morning star and the moon is the ritual sign, and the seventh is the day when the magic of the ritual constellation is the strongest, which will help your awakening."

Tovdil once again explained a few words flatly, but each sentence was like a bomb, and Sawyer was so excited that he stammered a few times, and finally only said "Thank you, Master".

Hearing the word Master, Tovdir laughed again, patted Sawya on the shoulder with a look of relief, put down the book, got up and left Sawyer's room.
