004 Scholar Constellation
The first step in learning a spell is to memorize the magic runes corresponding to the spells, then meditate, try to reproduce the original appearance of the runes in the sea of consciousness, and then engrave them on the wall of your spiritual power. Depending on the talent, this process can take a short or long time.
The spell "three-color ray" recorded in the spell book has the corresponding rune "frelie", which has three pronunciations, indicating that it contains three elements: ice, fire, and electricity.
Because it was not condensed into a ring of laws, the apprentice mage's wall of spiritual power was limited in area and could not be expanded, and could only engrave three magic runes. This is the information recorded in the cosmic law of "magic", which no one can change or disobey.
And when condensing the ring of laws, the more elements the mage masters, the stronger the ring of laws condensed, and the higher his future achievements. Therefore, in the important stage of laying the foundation for apprentice mages, in order to the future, you should master as many elements as possible through a limited number of three spells.
But the problem is that multi-element runes are very difficult to master, and they need to be strong enough to make the wall of spiritual power condense. The average Mental Power of a trainee mage is 2, and the minimum Mental Power required to master a three-element rune is 10. This number has already exceeded the mental strength of most first-ring formal mages.
And it's very strange that the basic magic theory of this "element-law ring" was originally known to passers-by, but who knew that in the Frero continent, few mages knew it.
No one knows the benefits of the multi-element zero ring spell, and the difficulty of learning is extremely harsh, so the three-color ray spell book in the hands of the halfling boss will always be ignored.
Lothar's current mental power is only 6, which is far from meeting the requirements for learning the three-element spell. So when he returned to his rented hotel room, he didn't touch the spell book, but first picked up a normal basic magic book.
"On the Superiority of the Legalist Mage over the Classical Mage" by Issalyn Penderov.
Classical mages relied on magic nets to cast spells, and also needed complex spells, gestures, and spell casting materials to channel spell energy. The Law Mage, on the other hand, casts spells with the power of the Law provided by his own Law Tinder, and the spells are greatly simplified, and there is no need for gestures and spellcasting materials. Full-body heavy armor battle mages that were unimaginable in the classical era can be seen everywhere in this era.
In the classical era, arcane was divided into eight schools according to their functions: plasticity, protection, spells, change, enchantment, illusion, necromancy, and prophecy. Now, Arcane is divided into three schools, namely matter, energy, and living beings, each of which is divided into three branches.
Today's mages, both in terms of difficulty and power of spells, are much better than those of the classical era, so the author of the book celebrates the current era of powerful mages, touting the 9,000-year-old war as a just battle for mortals against the tyranny of the gods.
But Lothar, who knew where the future would go, knew that this was nothing more than a lie fabricated to justify the rule of the current mage class and to put the blame for the collapse on the gods. In the future, when the truth is revealed, it will shock everyone.
But such a distant thing is tantamount to a legend for Lothar today. He couldn't take care of it for the time being.
The book in his hand, though full of repugnant praises of the mage's ruling class, still provides Lothar with 118 XP.
After reading a book of more than a hundred pages, Lothar spent half a day. He took a short break, picked up another book, The Spear and Shield of the Energy School, and devoted the rest of the day to it.
It wasn't until two and a half days later that he had read a total of five books and gained a total of 540 experience points.
"I've finally saved up enough XP to light up the first star."
Lothar's consciousness sank into the sea of knowledge. In the vast and colorful starry sky, the constellation of scholars composed of ten huge stars appeared in front of him.
Lothar's law of fire is knowledge, and its corresponding constellation is the constellation of scholars. He can spend experience points to light up the stars and gain special abilities. And when all the stars of a constellation are lit up, you can also get unique rewards.
To put it bluntly, a constellation is a skill tree.
There are two starting stars in the constellation of the Scholar, which are located on the soles of the Scholar's feet. One is the "Erudito Railai", and the other is the "Barosh the Wise Man". In the era before the Great Collapse, these two men were both prestigious powerhouses with the "power of being" that could influence the operation of the multiverse.
It is said that Laile has the brightest brain in the universe, and his mind is as quick as electricity. It only takes him five seconds to solve a magical puzzle, half a minute to read a five-hundred-page book, and the knowledge stored in his brain is comparable to that of an entire Candlecastle library.
And Barosh is the only barbarian legendary mage in the classical era, and the only wise man in the ten kingdoms and hundred cities. Ordinary barbarians can get a great increase in their physical fitness when they go berserk, and Barosh can also greatly enhance the ability of the brain when they go berserk.
The two of them are not only strong people with the power of existence, but also representatives of the group of mages and scholars, so it is not surprising that they can appear in the constellation of scholars.
Erudito Raile can give Lothar a superior memory and understanding. Although Barosh the Savage is not as good at improving his wisdom as Erudito Raylai, when Lothar lights up this star, he can turn on a new feature that can directly use experience points to increase physical strength. For mages, physical strength is also very important, especially if you want to follow the path of a melee mage with a unique style, the star power of Barosh the Savage is indispensable. However, Lothar thought about it for a while, and decided to take the safe route of Erudito Lailai.
"Light up the stars - Erudito Raile."
After the system received the order, Lothar immediately saw that the experience pool containing 500 experience points had bottomed out in an instant, and the position on the Scholar's Constellation feet also lit up with a blue starlight.
"For a mage, bloodline, family lineage, wealth, and power are not as good as the knowledge and wisdom in the brain-Lailai."
"You lit up the first floor of Erudito's Star. Gain Specialty 1: Extraordinary Minds. Gain Specialty 2: Psychic Enhancement. β
The Extraordinary Mind is a specialty that allows Lothar to access information, process it up to 10 times faster, and have a memory that is 10 times faster than that of a regular mage. The Psychic Enhancement specialty, which allows Lothar to spend experience points to strengthen Psychic power.
It took Lothar two and a half days to read five hundred pages of books before lighting up the Erudito star. After lighting up the Erudito star, he read all the remaining fifteen books, and it took him just over a day.
In the experience pool, there are 2970 more experience points.
The first time you strengthen your mental power, you need 250 XP, and each time you strengthen it thereafter, you need to spend an additional 250 XP. Lothar's experience points in his hand can just increase the experience points by 4 points to 10.
And in the process of reading, the power of the law absorbed also made Lothar's law fire much stronger, and at this time, it was already like a small torch, burning in the sea of knowledge, and the mana was also increased to 12.
Finally, Lothar met the conditions to learn the tricolor rays.
He closed his eyes and let his spiritual power stretch, and soon he saw a wall that was condensed like a solid body, towering in the sea of consciousness.
With such a solid wall of spiritual power, it can fully withstand the impact of the magic of the three-element runes.
After memorizing the shape of the rune, Lothar slowly carved it on the Wall of Mental Power. Although there was a little accident during the engraving process, which caused a small crack in the wall of spiritual power, the whole process still took one night to complete smoothly, and there was no danger.
βfrelieγβ Lothar chanted a spell in a unique syllable, and the mana gathered in his palm, and the red, blue, and white rays twisted into a spiral pillar of light, shooting out and shattering the wooden walls of the hut.
In the darkness of the night, sawdust and debris flew all over the sky, and the night wind blew in through the mouth of the cave, caressing Lothar's short brown hair.
"The power is enough, but the casting process is still a bit obstructive, and it needs more practice." Lothar commented on her first spell cast, "This wall will cost about three silver coins to be repaired...... It's a bit reluctant. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The innkeeper received three silver coins from the mage lord Lothar, who he regarded as high, and it took two more days to repair the broken wall.
In the evening, when he looked at the renovated exterior wall with satisfaction, he was surprised to find that a large group of well-equipped soldiers with helmets and armor appeared at the door of the hotel, and faintly spread out the formation of the encirclement.
"These people are...... The centaurs of the Moonstaff family? β
The boss saw that the soldiers' robes were embroidered with the pattern of the moon season surrounding the staff, and he secretly screamed in his heart. The hostile lord's army has actually reached Shanxi Town? It seems that the war of Baron Charon is not going well.
The leader of this team of about twenty people was not a middle-aged strong man who looked like a captain, but a mage wearing a gray mage robe and rimless glasses.
The hair coated with wax is neatly combed, oily and smooth, and has an elegant scholarly temperament. The boss felt that this mage's appearance was much stronger than that of a young mage who lived in his hotel and accidentally blew up one side of the wall.
The mage walked up to the boss: "Sir, is there a young man living in your shop?" Short-haired, a little thin, about eighteen to twenty years old, like me, a mage. β
For the first time, the innkeeper saw a noble mage talking to him so kindly, and nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes! He used to live in room number one on the second floor, but after using a spell to blow up my walls, he moved to room number four. β
"What? That little guy really lit the flame of law and became a mage? The middle-aged captain who commanded the soldiers looked surprised.
"Galleri, what's so strange about this? If he didn't know how to spell, how could he kill Lucy as a child? The mage was unimpressed.
Captain Galieri drew his long sword and looked hideous: "Mr. Lorenzo, together?" Or do you just burn down the inn? β
