Chapter 12: The Second Magic Gathering
"I feel that the mana in my body is abundant now, and I can even release two to three times the number of spells I used to do now compared to before!" Karin, who returned to the hut, said honestly to the All-Seeing Eye.
"Yes, the essential difference between the First Ring Mage and the Zero Ring Mage is the spell slot!" The All-Seeing Eye replied, "You are only at the beginning of the process, and the difference is not particularly noticeable; A qualified One-Ring Mage can use five to ten times as many spells as a Zero-Ring Apprentice! ”
"So what is the essential difference between the first ring and the second ring? Maybe if I want to advance to the second ring, what should I focus on? Carlin asked preemptively.
"Control!" The All-Seeing Eye said, "The difference between the First Ring Mage and the Second Ring Mage is not very big in terms of spell slots, but the Second Ring Mage is much better in terms of the control of the details of spell use...... Of course, after stepping into the third ring and bidding farewell to the apprenticeship and becoming a full-fledged mage, there will be a qualitative change in both of them! ”
"Okay, I see...... Carlin nodded, and then asked, "Then can the speed at which I break through from the apprentice to the first ring be considered fast?" ”
"If the time limit is used for the host's first contact with magic, it will take 59 days and 21 hours for the host to break through the ring; And if the time limit is used for the host to encounter the omniscient eye, it will take 30 days and 3 hours for the host to break through the link! The voice of the All-Seeing Eye slowly sounded in Carlin's head.
"As far as the twenty-seven masters of the All-Seeing Eye are concerned, the breakthrough speed of the host can be ranked nineteenth according to the former, and thirteenth according to the latter!"
"In this case, it seems that it can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches!" Carlin asked with some curiosity, "So who is the one with the fastest breakthrough?" ”
"That's Lord Casas, of course!" The All-Seeing Eye said proudly, "According to the All-Seeing Eye's memories of Lord Casas, it only took him 3 hours and 12 minutes from the first time he came into contact with magic to break through the first link! ”
"Three hours...... Break through the link? Carlin was taken aback, his first meditation was estimated to have taken three hours...... is worthy of being a mage who has slaughtered gods, and he can't afford to provoke him!
"But the host doesn't have to be discouraged, the host's breakthrough speed has actually surpassed 99% of the mages of the same race, which is quite a remarkable achievement!" The All-Seeing Eye spoke comfortingly.
"If you can get into the top 1 percent, that's not bad!" Carlin is a little complacent, although it is not enough to be compared to the above, but it is still more than enough!
……
"Carlin!" Outside the door, a familiar voice came in.
"Here we are...... Long time no see, Oliver! Carlin stood up and ran over to open the door to the hut.
He's right, he hasn't seen Oliver's old friend for the past month!
"Really, Carlin, what have you been up to lately?" Oliver glanced Carlin up and down, "I don't go to parties, I don't go on adventures, sometimes I come to you, and there's no one in your house...... You won't forget today's magic rally, will you? ”
"I must have forgotten it, and I was about to go over...... I've been practicing meditation all this time, and didn't Mr. Kirkland give me a book on meditation last time! Carlin replied.
"You're really practicing that thing!" Oliver glanced at his lips, but he also thought that Carlin was just playing, and didn't take it seriously, just continued: "By the way, Carlin told you something, don't be too upset!" ”
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"Inclair, I heard, he broke through!" Oliver said.
Inclair, that guy Karin has almost forgotten this time, I didn't expect him to really break through!
"It's okay, if you break through, you can break through!" Carlin waved his hand: "By the way, Oliver, I've broken through the link too!" ”
"No kidding, Carlin, when did you become so humorous?" Oliver squinted at Carlin, not believing him at all: "Hey, I'm so envious...... Break through one link, and you can truly be accepted by the family! ”
"One ring, what does it have to do with the family?" Carlin was about to explain to Oliver that he had really broken through, but was attracted by Oliver's last sentence.
"We, the apprentices of Zero Ring, will not be valued by the family at all! Although the family will give us various subsidies every month, it is just a routine, and even the training of us depends on the training mages sent by the royal court! Oliver said a little lonely.
"But the First Ring Mage is different, a One Ring Mage means that you can participate in all kinds of family affairs and become a real member of the family...... Just like Inclair, their Morrowind family is a traditional alchemy family in Silvermoon City, and after this breakthrough, he will definitely return to Silvermoon City and become a junior alchemist! ”
"Oooh...... What about our Sunrage family? What is our family's business? Carlin nodded, then continued.
"Carlin, are you kidding?" Oliver glanced at Carlin like a fool.
"How is it possible that our Sunrage family, as one of the largest families in Quel'Thalas, is only engaged in one industry...... You must know that in Silvermoon City, in addition to the royal court and the council, there are only six mage towers, and one of them is called the 'Sunfury Spire'! ”
……
"You're late, two!" Mage Kirkland looked at the two young elves outside the door and said calmly and with a bit of majesty.
"I'm sorry, Mentor Kirkland!" Carlin and Oliver bowed their heads together. Along the way, Carlin pestered Oliver about the family, so much so that the Apprentice Tribe was a few minutes late.
"Alright, come in, don't do this in the future!" After all, they were only half a minute late, and Mage Kirkland didn't embarrass them.
Sitting in the last row of the Apprentice Tribe, Carlin could clearly feel that the mage Kirkland on the podium was much less oppressive to him than the last time.
Because the other party is just a scholar-type mage with three rings.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business!" Mage Kirkland turned his gaze to the first row of the Apprentice Tribe: "Mr. Inclair, I heard that you have broken through the Ring!" ”
"Yes, Mentor Kirkland!" Inclair quickly stood up and bowed to the mage Kirkland.
A blue crystal ball floated out of Mage Kirkland's sleeve and onto Inclair's desk.
"Give it a try! Reach into it and see if you're really up to the standards of a one-ring mage! Mage Kirkland said kindly.
Inclair nodded, then stretched out her right hand!
After a few seconds, the crystal ball suddenly glowed, and then glowed with a faint blue fluorescence......
"Not bad...... Very good! Looking at the blue fluorescence, Mage Kirkland smiled and nodded: "I will report this time to the Morrowind family, Mr. Clair, I hope that after a hundred years, the Morrowind family will have another high-level alchemist......"
"Thank you for your cultivation, Mentor Kirkland...... Inclair hurriedly said excitedly, "Even if I return to the family, I will not forget your cultivation ......"
Mage Kirkland smiled and nodded, about to retrieve the blue crystal ball.
"Wait a minute, Mentor Kirkland!" A calm voice came from behind the Apprentice Tribe, interrupting Mage Kirkland's movements.
"Huh?" Wizard Kirkland was visibly dissatisfied with the young elf who was not only late before, but was now openly causing trouble, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?" Mr. Carlin? ”
"The ......" Carlin stretched out his right hand and pointed to the blue crystal ball, "Can I try it?" ”
