Chapter Ninety-Six: An Invitation from Karazhan
Following in Khadgar's footsteps, Carlin also made a breakthrough and became a five-ring mage.
But it's not just a credit to your own efforts.
The Teacher, Archmage Antonidas, has been doing his best to guide him for the last week, which is actually quite strange...... You must know that as the leader of Dalaran, Antonidas is very busy, and usually teaches them a few lessons a week at most!
More than just theoretical guidance, Antonidas has been using mental power to exercise Carlin's mental power at the same time.
For Carlin, this workout is undoubtedly very beneficial; And for Antonidas, the spiritual power of the Nine Rings Mage was fully released, and the consumption was also very large.
So much so that Khadgar has been complaining: "Why is the mentor so partial, when I was about to break through the five rings, I didn't get this kind of treatment!" ”
All in all, a week later, Carlin, who was originally not far from the Fifth Ring Road, made a breakthrough.
And when Carlin broke through the five rings, Antonidas seemed relieved.
"Karin, I've hired Archmage Magnus, and he'll teach you a very unique spell!" Antonidas admonished.
……
Just the next day, the archmage Magnus arrived at Violet Castle.
A short dwarf mage, the expression on his face looked a little terrifying, and the brown robe on his body revealed his identity: Seven Rings!
"Hello Mr. Carlin, I'm Magnus Mana Storm from Nomorigan, and it's an honor to meet you!" The dwarf screamed.
Ignoring the funny surname of Milhouse, Carlin suddenly realized that the other party was not Dalaran's mage.
Hiring a seven-ring mage from another city will definitely cost Antonidas a lot of money......
Carlin became more and more confused about what the mentor meant.
"Hello, Lord Magnus......" Carlin greeted as he pondered, "May I ask what you want to teach me......"
"Oh, so Lord Antonidas didn't tell you beforehand!" Magnus glanced at Carlin in surprise, "What he asked me to teach you was the Spiritual Sealing Technique." ”
"Spiritual sealing?" Carlin was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of the name of this spell,
"It's normal for you to feel new to this...... This spell isn't well-known, it's a five-ring spell discovered by my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, and it's only been circulating in our Mana Storm family all along! Magnus paused, and continued, "Again, this is a very powerful spell, except a little ...... It's a bit ......."
Magnus couldn't find the adjective for a while.
"Chicken ribs?" Carlin asked softly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Magnus nodded repeatedly.
"Can you tell me about the effects of the 'Spirit Seal'?" Carlin asked again.
"This spell can seal a portion of your memory...... Of course, this seal has no effect on the freer himself; But sealed memories can be made undetectable by other people, in any way? Magnus said.
"Undetectable in any way?" Carlin frowned, "In other words, others can't tell if you've used the 'Spirit Sealing Technique'?" ”
"Yes, exactly!" Magnus continued, "As long as you don't reveal too many loopholes when sealing memories, such as the residual memories are very incoherent, otherwise you won't arouse the suspicion of others at all!" ”
"Sure enough......," Carlin took a light breath.
The other party's evaluation of this spell is not exaggerated...... This spell is indeed very powerful, and the spell slot is only five rings.
So why do you say chicken ribs?
Carlin only thought for a moment, and then understood.
Analyzing and confirming the memories of others through mental power is a very complex and computationally intensive process...... Even the Nine Rings Mage couldn't do this at all!
A mage above the legendary may be able to do it, but the premise is that the opponent's mental power is much lower than his own.
For high-ranking priests, it may be possible to do this through mental control, confession, and other magic techniques...... But after all, the pastor himself is weak in combat power, and his mental power is even weaker; The only ones who can do this at will are a very small number of high-ranking priests like Alonsos Fao.
Therefore, the "Spirit Sealing Technique" seems to be powerful, but the actual significance is not very great.
Carlin didn't quite understand the Mentor's intention of sending the dwarf mage to teach him the spell, but he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Not to mention anything else, after using the "Spiritual Sealing Technique" to completely seal those memories belonging to the previous life, at least the bottom of your heart will be much more stable.
"After understanding, Mr. Carlin, then let me guide you in detail how to use this spell!" Magnus said impatiently.
It seemed that he, as a teacher, seemed to be more eager than Carlin, a seeker of knowledge.
……
Magnus Mana Storm is very detailed about the "Spirit Sealing".
Even Carlin faintly felt that the other party wanted him to master this spell as soon as possible more than himself.
The dwarf archmage spent almost all day at Violet Castle, looking at Carlin with an expression of hatred...... Without considering the huge difference in size, Carlin even wondered if the other person was one of his long-lost close relatives.
Although the "Mental Closure Technique" is a five-ring spell, it is not very complicated, at least it is much simpler than the "Flame Explosion Technique".
A week later, Carlin had almost completely mastered it...... Magnus left Dalaran satisfied.
At the request of Antonidas, he went to the teacher's study.
"Mentor ......"
"Archmage Magnus told me that you've returned from your studies?" Antonidas asked with a smile.
"Yes......" Carlin nodded, "But Mentor, I don't understand ......"
"I promised Magnus two scrolls of detailed descriptions of the Seven Rings spell, and some of my personal experiences and insights!" Antonidas said lightly.
"I see...... No wonder that dwarf is so enthusiastic, there must be a brave man under the reward! Carlin was stunned. A five-ring chicken rib, swapped for two seven-ring spells; That dwarf is afraid that he will laugh at Antonidas as a fool in his heart, right?
"Maybe you still have some doubts......" Antonidas shook his head gently at Carlin, "but you should take a look at this first!" ”
He handed Carlin a letter that was in the most visible position on his desk.
More preparingly, this is an invitation.
