Chapter 7: Spells and Contracts
The first is the strong constitution brought by the dragons, which is mainly reflected in the health value. Now Morey can get 12 dragon life bonuses every time he raises his class level, while ordinary humans only have 4 points, and one level is the top three people. Not to mention the 5 CON bonus from 15 CON (current CON -10), which is equivalent to the health gained by Mages and Warlocks by 1 level.
There is also the attribute, through Sandru's information, it can be seen that the average attribute of ordinary humans in this world is basically 10-11 floating, and his strength is almost twice that of ordinary people, it can be said that he is born with divine power, and his physique and intelligence are obviously more than half of normal people, such a violent mage is indeed rare.
After talking about attributes, let's talk about characteristics, which is basically the rhythm of hanging.
[Dark Vision], so that Morey can do without torches in the future, and his combat effectiveness at night has increased greatly.
[Immunity to Electric Shock], [Immune Toxin] As the name suggests, the damage of these two attributes no longer has damage to Morey, and although the soul damage has prevented Morey from awakening the ability of the demon's true name, the demon's physique reward has arrived. If someone hits him with a [Lightning Ball] and a [Venom Ball], he can perform an aerial catch and pass back to them to look good. The undetectable soul guardian is obviously the benefit of the unknown existence, and it is also a good thing that the unknown is powerful.
Relatively speaking, except for one [Iron Will], the specialties and characteristics of other major roads are far behind......
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Morey, who was in ecstasy, was finally woken up by Hyde, who was worried about him.
Seeing that Morey had finally come to his senses, Hyde breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay Hyde, the necromancer was going to read my memories just now, and he was injured by my father's amulet, so take advantage of his loss of mind now, hurry up and control him!" Anyway, no matter what it is, Morey first put the blame on his father, and the cheating father is used to it.
Hyde consciously punched Sandru unconscious, and then strode out like a dock worker carrying a sack.
Morey was close behind, and he couldn't wait to interrogate Sandru. There were kobolds everywhere along the way, and although Morey was prepared, he was still a little unbearable to see such a miserable scene. These kobolds were the fish in the pond that he had suffered. Although these kobold coolies would have survived, their lives would have been nothing more than exhaustion in the mine and reduced to a pile of bones, but being gnawed alive into a pile of bloody skeletons was still beyond Morey's imagination. If the son of the big mine owner in the Far East shed a little more tears at this time, it would really be the best interpretation of crocodile tears, but unfortunately soon Morey packed up his mood and left quickly.
Stepping out of the exit of the mine, the sun shining on his body, Morey suddenly felt like he had been reborn. This adventure was supposed to be a relaxing and playful adventure, but he was almost buried in this dark mine. It's really not the same world that has been peaceful for a long time, and if you're not careful, you'll lose your life.
The expected assassination did not happen, and it seems that Hyde killed all of them. Some of the unstable wooden houses have been washed into ruins, and even the alchemy chamber of Morey's stone has a wall that shows signs of impact. There was a dead silence all around, and the bone beasts and the people of the camp were gone.
"Young Master Morey, the head of the family asked me to help you train a group of secret guards, you can't rely on the protection of the saber and iron guards by your side!" The captain of the Dark Guard, who claimed to be Balta, suddenly appeared from the shadows of the ruins, and behind him was a small squad of the Dark Guard.
"Captain Hyde, this is our Secret Guard's greeting gift." The captain of the Dark Guard, dressed in a pure white cloak and hood, shook out of a gray cloth pocket with pointed ears, which were the ears of the dark drow underground. The most produced in the dark region is the assassins, and it seems that this time it is not that there are fewer assassins, but that the assassins have long been wiped out by the shadows. Hyde's face began to be solemn, there is no underground passage in the Far East, and so many drows cannot reach the Far East without the cover of surface forces.
From Sandru's memory, Morey didn't get much specific information about the mastermind behind the scenes, Sandru only received an assassination mission through the organization, and did not directly contact the main messenger, and Morey could only vaguely guess through a few clues that it was the rival family of the Holy Spear Kingdom who made a move.
"Young Master, our people let Knight Feng Di transfer away long before the sudden change in the mine. Except for the Pomle family's convoy, which suffered some casualties due to its slow speed, there were not many casualties in the entire camp. The Bone Beast has been lured away by us, and it is estimated that it will already be playing with pyramids under the cliffs......" Balta continued to report on the camp, much to Morey's relief, who had not seen the rest of the camp.
Despite his prejudices against the shadows, Hyde and Balta began to work together to build a new defense system around Morey.
The camp is in full swing to recover and rebuild, and people are beginning to return to their posts one after another. Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, Morey made an excuse and returned to the alchemy room with Sandru, who had been imprisoned in his ability to cast spells and move.
"You don't have to." Sandru took off his dusty cloak and sat in the sun, still very kind.
"Oh?" Morey was noncommittal. The words of the enemy cannot be believed!
"I don't know what is protecting you, but when it copied my memories from my brain, it left an imprint, which I examined and looked very stable, but it exploded at the touch of the inside! Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you look at me like a panda man. Sandru's face was full of bitterness, and this time the trade was so bad that all his pants were gone. The target was not killed, not to mention, the imprint in his brain did not know when it would explode, and it was no wonder that his life was in the hands of others.
Morey also got the answer from the information in the Blood Moon, probably because the Blood Moon felt that Sandru was a rare talent, so he deliberately made a Morey's consciousness imprint in Sandru's mind, so that it could find this mobile database anytime and anywhere and update the data. In addition to the regular update of this global positioning, the imprint also controls Sandru, and if Morey dies or has a thought in his heart, the archmage's brain can turn into colorful fireworks.
Blood Moon only reads the basic data of the spell model, and it is better to ask his new magic teacher Sandru for advice on the control of some details and the link to the spell runes. With the absolute standard formed spell model as a reference, and the guidance of Archmage Sandru, it didn't take long for the first spell model to be completed.
Name:【Stun Technique】
Level: Trick Zero
Cast Time: Instant
Cast Cost: Spell slot level zero
Cast Range: Close
Duration: 1 round (6 seconds)
Effect: Renders humanoids below level 5 immobilized for the next turn
The moment the spell model was completed, the bottom of the spell pool in the blood moon slowly began to form a stun model, and then the shallow mana pool water that had accumulated began to infuse the new model with mana.
"Do you want to use mana to carve an additional [Stun Technique] mana model!"
Morey was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a stream of information about the mana pool emerged.
There are three ways to obtain the spell model in the mana pool, the first is the legacy of the predecessor, after the death of the master, if the mana pool is found to be re-refined, then part of the previous spell model will be obtained. Inherited spell organizations can even accept them in full, but the new master must reach a certain level before they can use it, and there is no new mage who will ban spells in an instant. This is the case with Morey's Ice Spear, Mirroring, and Enchantment. The other is to study spells on your own, and every time you learn a new spell, a spell model will automatically appear in the mana pool. It's like the vertigo technique just now. The last one is additional burning, some spells you have learned to use often, such as the five fireball teachings mentioned before, only one fireball can not satisfy them at all, at this time, you need to spend mana in the mana pool for mana burning. This of course requires additional mana, and the caster spends twice the amount of mana needed to cast the spell to re-burn a spell model.
[Stun Technique] is a zero-level trick that requires 10 mana infusion and 20 mana burn. Looking at the 100 displayed in the mana pool bar, Morey naturally agreed to the Blood Moon's burning request.
"Sandru, is there anything you can do about my weak soul?" Seeing that the bad soul was weakened and the spell slot was halved, Morey threw the problem to the archmage.
If you can solve the weakness of the soul, your strength can be greatly improved.
"Baron Morey, I also know something about your situation......", since the employer has hired Sandru, he will still tell him some basic information. Your soul is entangled by dragons and demons, so you can gain the same true name ability as the demon lord under the premise of ordinary people's soul strength. After you were born, the balance of your soul was broken, so to restore your soul weakness, you must first rebalance your dragon soul and demon soul power. That's why even the gods are tied. ”
Having obtained the expected answer, he sighed depressedly, "It seems that you can only learn first-level spells when you are upgraded to a second-level mage." ”
"Oh? However, if Baron Morey just wants to restore the spell slot, it is not impossible. "Sandru is not stupid, and it only takes a little bit of information to understand what Morey really cares about.
"Speak quickly!" Morey now seems to be the boss of one level, but he finds that the boss of the next level cannot be played. At this time, I was overjoyed to hear that there was a way to restore the spell bit.
As the carrier of the spell model, the strength of the soul is directly related to the number of spells. Necromancy is an expert in the study of soul spells, and there is a high chance that the natural soul will be harmed during the research process. Therefore, some special secret methods that increase the number of spell models can withstand are also flowing out among necromancers, because they only make up for the spell slots they have lost due to soul damage, so there are no such secret methods in the world.
"Your Excellency the Baron doesn't have a contract pet yet, do you?" Sandru, as an archmage, has no re-entry into the play with the magic fluctuations of the magic pet.
"Yes."
"Then Baron Morey should go and rest first! I also need to deal with some materials. Sandru said he could sleep in the alchemy room. Sandru could only lie in the gloomy mausoleum to rest, and the clean and tidy alchemy room was comfortable enough for him, and it seemed that the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign technology nerds were the same!
This preparation was one night, and Morey saw the magic crow sent by Sandru outside the window early in the morning, informing him that the materials were ready.
"You're all set, Sandru?" Looking at Sandru, who was yawning with a sleepy face, Morey was a little unsure.
"Of course!" In fact, it didn't take a quarter of an hour for Sandru to deal with these materials, on the one hand, it was to elevate his status in Morey's mind, and what was too easy to get was always worthless, and on the other hand, he still wanted to try to remove the imprint in his head, and after a night of experimentation, he tried all the methods that could be implemented now, and he sat down in his chair and stared at it for a while.
Looking at Sandru's bloodshot eyes, Morey couldn't help but sigh a little, Sandru is still sincere.
Sandru slowly told the secret method he knew.
It turns out that there is a kind of Void Mana Beast in the Void, compared to other magic pets, this kind of magic beast does not bring new real-time combat abilities or auxiliary abilities like other magic pets in the contract, it only has a skill that looks like a chicken rib like soul link.
They can link their own soul with the caster's soul through soul-linked innate skills, enhancing the soul's carrying capacity and better memorizing spells. However, the mages of the Betsy plane rely on spell slots to cast spells, and the strength of the soul itself is the same as the spell slots that can be used. A normal mage who has contracted a Void Mana Beast not only fails to increase the spell slot (the spell slot of each level mage is fixed), but instead reduces his strength due to the lack of a loyal Demon Pet. Therefore, except for the special situation of a necromancer whose soul is injured and causes the upper limit of spell slots to be reduced, such a strange magic pet will be contracted.
After making sure that Morey was ready, Sandru began to draw a circle using a type of ash called Shadow Soul Wood. After a short period of effort, a circle of about 5 square meters had been drawn, and Morey consciously walked to the center of the circle, sat down cross-legged, and began to communicate with the otherworldly void through the circle according to the method taught by Sandru before.
Soon after sitting down, Morey felt as if his spiritual power was slowly turning into an invisible rope, which slowly thinned and slowly became, until finally it became an extremely thin silk thread. The Shadow Soul Wood Ashes of the circle began to slowly evaporate, and they could protect this spiritual thread from outside interference. As if passing through the water, the spiritual thread slowly began to wander in an unknown void. There was no earth or sky in the void, as if it had lost its direction, and the threads began to drift wildly. In the distance, on the red rocks, a dark blue void mana beast was absorbing the essence of the void's mana. This is their food and the source of their evolution. This 5,6-meter-tall Void Beast seems to have evolved to a considerable level, and if it is contracted, it will be more than enough to supplement the shortcomings in Morey's soul. Morey, who had been lost in the void space for a long time, naturally would not let go, and the silk thread slowly wrapped around it.
"Make a contract, I, Morey!" Morey transmits information through spiritual perception.
"Eat, eat......"
"Make a contract, I, Morey!"
"Eat ......"
Completely unable to communicate, although Sandru had already told him that the Void Mana Beast's IQ was not high, and it was more likely to survive in the Void by instinct, but the disadvantage of the teacher still made Morey very depressed.
Definitely, Morey had to leave the foodie and look for the next one and the target.
"Make a contract, I, Morey!"
“......”
"Make a contract, I, Morey!"
"Eat, it's delicious......"
"Make a contract, I, Morey!
"Whirring ......"
This Void Mana Beast was a bit crowded, saving Morey a lot of effort, but he didn't get anything in a circle. The silk thread has begun to be a little unstable, and every time you enter the Void Perception, there is a time limit, and this time the time is almost up.
Just as he was about to retract his spirit and return to his body, suddenly Morey discovered a special Void Mana Beast, because the Void Mana Beast lives in a gravityless void, so it looks strange, beasts, sea monster tentacles, and even a strange mana beast that grows into a mop Morey has seen it. But this one is a humanoid mana beast that has always been rare, and it is only a little more scientific than its fellow people. Two slender hands grew on its round body, and it was a bit like the god of lights in its previous life without feet. It's fate, it's rare to see a "fellow", and Morey immediately leaned over.
"Make a contract, I, Morey!" Morey is going to vomit when he talks about the same thing, if there is this option in his mental state!
On the blue body of the "......" lamp god, a pair of star-like eyes blinked with a sense of confusion, which was quite cute.
"Hey, let's go to the god of lights, let's play!" Sure enough, I still can't communicate, how did those necromancers find the mana beasts, and I'll have to ask Sandru later.
"Lamp, lamp god ......" Just as Morey was about to leave, a message from the mana beast suddenly came from the spiritual thread.
There is a door! Morey felt perk.
"Make a contract, I, Morey!"
"Contract, eat!"
"Make a contract, eat, I, Morey!" You have to take it step by step!
The little eye of the lamp god blinked faster, and it was evident that it was also struggling to understand the meaning of the words. Suddenly, it thoughtfully followed an instinct and ate the thread that could speak.
Morey's eyes opened, and he was back in the real world.
"How's it going, have you found the contracted mana?" Sandru asked, a little uncertain. He saw that Morey's condition seemed to be something, so he simply asked directly.
"I don't know!" Morey was also a little confused. According to Sandru's steps, Morey should have carved his own mark on the mana with the consent of the mana in order for the contract to be successful. This last mana beast directly swallowed a trace of its own spiritual power, is this a god? Contracted? He took the time to take a look at the Blood Moon, and there was another question mark in the Demon Pet column, which made him even more confused.
Listening to Morey's account of his situation in the void, Sandru couldn't help frowning.
"Let's try summoning first!" Sandru decided to let Morey try summoning first.
"Okay, I'll try!" Morey felt that this was also a solution, and began to pinch the spell and summon it!
"The existence of the Otherworldly Void, following the ancient covenant, Pro!"
An illusory pentagonal circle in the room slowly took shape, and the "God of Lights" really slowly walked away from the circle, no, floated out.
And the information in the Demon Pet column in the Blood Moon is gradually becoming complete.
Name: Lamp God (Void Mana)
Status: Contract Creature
Subsidiary: Morey. Faist (host)
Species: Void creatures
Ability: Soul Link
Morey was speechless for a while when he saw this information, this void mana beast really took the "lamp god" as his name, but it was wrong, and the contract was finally successful.
"Okay, you're so chubby, let's call you chubby!" Laboriously patted Chubby's shoulder, Morey tried to play the role of a good boss.
"Chubby, no, the god of lights!" After the contract, I feel that my IQ has improved, and Chubby will point to his head to correct Morey's mistakes.
"Alright, Chubby, come with me and go out for a yo-yo!" With a magic pet, it is natural for everyone to take a look and show off! Officially announce to the world that I, Morey, have finally become a professional!
"Lamp God, no, Chubby......" Chubby hurriedly followed Morey, who had already walked out of the door, correcting his name.
