373 Officially inaugurated
"Don't try to enter a mage's tower without an invitation, or when the master is not at home, it is no safer than entering a dragon's lair where gold has been stolen!"
Although Wutong was only an apprentice spellcaster, in the textbooks he used to study, there was such a sentence written in many books, which made him a little wary of things like the Mage Tower, which he didn't know very well.
Because it is known as "Austrian French." "The caster base is large, and the caster professional population is relatively concentrated, so the number of mage towers in the Principality of Adele is quite large, but more than 99% of the mage towers are relatively safe and low ordinary towers.
If you want to know the rank of the owner of a mage tower, you can usually judge it from the number of layers of the tower at a glance, and if you want to know the strength of the owner of a mage tower, you can also judge it from the size and shape of the tower.
Of course, there are also some low-key mages, or poor mages, who have built mage towers, which are not so easy to distinguish from the appearance, especially some mages who don't want to be disturbed, and build mage towers in some remote and uninhabited corners of the world, their low profile, making their mage towers far more dangerous than they seem!
Although there are no hard and fast rules, usually the mages will not consider building their own mage towers until they enter the [Hero Rank], which is not only related to ability, but also related to financial resources, the construction process of mage towers is quite long, because for them, it is better to build an ugly building with only two or three floors, and it is better to be a watchtower, and it is better to stay in that arcane law school.
Of course, it is not excluded that some bad mages will build high-rise towers that do not have the effect of the real "mage" tower to show their "bad" status when their own level is very low.
According to Wutong's understanding of the ancient capital city of Fairhaven, there are about a thousand mage towers located in the city alone, but less than 200 of them can really be called regular mage towers, and you know the rest!
In the Tallinn area of the Venern Academy, there are about 100 mage towers, including more than sixty seven-story towers and dozens of five-story or six-story towers.
There is no doubt that those seven-story towers are naturally the residences of the sixty-odd or so archmages of various departments in the Venane Academy, who have entered the super-level and reached the seventh order, while the remaining dozens of fifth- and six-story towers are the residences of the few outstanding among the thousands of high-level mages in the Venane Academy, such as the eight chief teachers of the various departments of the previous academy in Wutong.
And this white giant tower with a height of nearly 100 floors, of course, was not built by the 8th-order archmage Zemur himself, because it is said that this giant tower already existed when Fairhaven City did not exist, and it is said to be something left over from the Nether era in ancient times.
Of course, this statement is just a fantasy of ordinary people, because imagine how strange it is to put an eighteen-story cake on top of a chopstick "Baidu Set Sail without Words", as the current user of the White Tower, Archmage Zemmour is sneering at this statement.
The saddest thing is that after about half an hour, he inadvertently glanced out of a window he passed by, only to find that he was only two or three meters high from the ground, that is, he climbed for half an hour to climb one floor!
“%%##@¥!”
Sycamore sat down on the stairs, ate something, drank some of the endless ale in the [Endless Wine Cup], then sorted out the package for a while, and finally simply lit the [Smart and Dexterous Candlestick], took out the [Master Craft Tool Set] and began to process the potion...,
“”
Pulling his beard in front of the huge crystal ball, looking at Master Zemur, who was complacent and began to process the potion, he said depressedly: "What is this kid doing?" ”
"Very skilled in pharmaceutical techniques!" An old white-bearded mage commented very seriously.
Master Zemmour was mad: "I'm not asking you about his pharmaceutical methods!" I'm asking you, what is he doing? ”
The circle of old men and old ladies next to him shrugged their shoulders: "He's making medicine." ”
“%%##@¥!” Master Zemmour blew his beard and glared at the group of archmages in front of him, and said angrily: "I don't believe that he has been staying there all the time!" ”
"According to my observations throughout the journey, this little guy's backpack has enough food to feed a team of Northland barbarians, and his endless series of small toys can allow him to have a drink when he is free, are you sure you plan to spend it with him?"
A certain necromantic archmage spent his time playing with a small crystal orb, which was the one that Sycamore had given to Old Mike.
Old Master Zemur glanced at the crystal ball in frustration, and after refining the potion for a while, he put away the master's tools, took out the blanket and sleeping bag, and seemed to be planning to sleep on the more spacious staircase, and said angrily: "This guy has no willpower at all!" How can you give up so quickly? ”
"How long did it take Master Zemmour to give up?" The other archmage asked, as if "curious".
Master Zemmour was speechless, rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and the sycamore that was drilling into the sleeping bag appeared in the middle of a circle of archmages, blinked his eyes, and the sycamore got out of the sleeping bag again, rolled up the sleeping bag and stuffed it into the backpack, and then politely saluted the archmages with the mage salute.
After glaring at Wutong for a while, Master Zemmour said with a straight face: "Apprentice! Do you know what you did wrong in this Inaugural Trial? ”
Wutong blinked his eyes and thought for a moment, "If you don't have enough strength, you will go deep into a dangerous area that exceeds your ability?" ”
Master Zemmour almost choked to death by Wutong's words, which really can't be said that he was wrong, but this task was issued by his old man, right?
Originally, his intention was only to let a certain apprentice with super ability to cause trouble, learn that it is also an advantage to have the courage to retreat before the difficulty exceeds his ability, otherwise, he would not have arranged for a group of apprentices who have not yet been officially inaugurated to go to the Jedi of [Weeping Wilderness], although he arranged for a necromantic archmage to accompany him secretly, but this does not completely guarantee that this apprentice with extraordinary talent will not encounter danger.
But no one thought that the accumulation of this little guy's foundation was too rich, and it was far beyond the limit of a normal unemployed apprentice, which led to him unexpectedly completing this task that should not have been able to be completed.
Coughing twice, Master Zemmour, under the playful gaze of the other archmages, had no choice but to encourage Wutong a few words: "Very good, it seems that you have realized your own shortcomings, but in general, in the process of taking up your duties, you have gradually learned what you need to do as a noble mage." ”
Sycamore was confused for a while, okay? What does the noble mage need to do in his quest? Did you do anything?
Ignoring Sycamore's confusion, Archmage Zemmour took out the reward belonging to Sycamore:
A set of eight Tier 1 spell books, with a cover wrapped in high-quality hòu hard-wearing arcane leather, copper corners and spine, looking quite exquisite, and a valuable piece of fines.
Each calligraphy book has a hundred pages of snow-white and flexible arcane beast leather inside pages, and the basic first-order spells of each school have been copied inside!
Wutong was ecstatic to take the stack of spell books of hòuhòu, and quickly flipped through them one by one:
Arcane Alert, Enduring the Environment, Door Sealing, Protection, Shield, Greasy, Mage Armor, Mount, Hidden Mist, First Order Monster Summoning, Stealth Servant, Fluent in Language, Secret Detection of Undead, Identification, Defeating the Enemy, Enchanting Humans, Hypnosis, Sleep, Burning Hand, Floating Saucer, Arcane Missile, Lightning Claw, Rainbow Spray, Transfiguration, Magical Aura, Silent Phantom, Ventriloquism, Panic, Cold Touch, Weakening Ray, Activation Rope, Human Transformation, Human Shrinkage, Erasure, oil on the soles of the feet, feather falling, jumping, demonic weapons...,
A full forty Tier 1 spells! On average, five per school!
Although like Tier 0 spells, most of them are auxiliary spells or field control spells, but what does it mean for a mage to have forty more Tier 1 spells all at once? This means that when it comes to fighting, you can have enough spells to wrestle in a hurry!
Even if it's a secondary spell or a field-controlling spell, it can still exert a very amazing effect when it is critical!
Moreover, these spells are issued as rewards for the inaugural mission, and there is no need for Sycamore to spend extra gold coins to learn, which means that Sycamore is equivalent to saving 20,000 gold coins in tuition at once!
Although with the current profit income of the "No. 44 Secret Law Store", the tuition fee of 500 gold coins for a first-order spell is not unbearable for Wutong, but why not save it?
Moreover, the value of this set of spell books is far more valuable than the spells recorded in it!
Compared to the ordinary Tier 1 comprehensive spell books that can be bought outside, these eight spell books are all [perfect] quality single-school spell books, which means that in each spell book, only the spells of the school represented by the spell book can be copied to take effect!
This is a bit more cumbersome to use than the ordinary comprehensive spell books sold in the spell equipment stores outside, but each book has additional pluses:
[X Series] Tier 1 Spell Book [Perfect]: Intelligence +2, Focus +2, X Spell Power +2, X Spell Resistance +2;
Although it is not a set, the additional 16 [Intelligence] attributes and level 16 [Focus] skills added to the eight books are enough to drive those ordinary mage players crazy! Not to mention that each school gets two additional levels of bonus to its Spell Power and Spell Resistance!
"As a reward for your outstanding performance in the inaugural mission, I officially grant you the status of [Rank 1 Mage] with the status of the Dean of the Wienern Academy! Also, I'll do [Talent Remodeling] for you"
Without waiting for Sycamore to recover from the joy of obtaining a set of superb spell books, Archmage Zemur covered his old but steady palm on Sycamore's forehead, and Sycamore, who couldn't react, only felt a torrent of arcane energy, and suddenly poured into the body "��" from the palm of the old mage pressing on his forehead, pushing the withering and decaying, and the explosion of the arcane energy explosion that had been cultivated and condensed in his body after such a long time of cultivation was restored to the purest soul energy particles!
Then, the soul energy particles that completely overflowed into his whole body quickly gathered again, condensing into an invisible crystal-like [Arcane Soul Core] in his body!
(Note: If it's not easy to understand, just condense the "Arcane Energy" in the mage's body.) "Treat it as the experience of transforming the soul energy points injected into each level, and treat the "soul energy particles" as "soul energy points." "When the apprentice is officially inaugurated, the mentor carries out the "talent remodeling" process for the apprentice, which is also known as the "washing point". "The effect of "talent remodeling" carried out by tutors of different levels is different, and it can be roughly understood. )
At this point, Wutong finally crossed the chasm that was difficult for ordinary people to cross, and officially entered the realm of mages, becoming an official first-order mage!
Waiting for Archmage Zemmour, he took the old palm away from Wutong's forehead, and smiled with a slightly tired smile: "Okay, feel it, what difference you have made!" ”
Wutong was stunned, looking straight ahead with empty eyes, he had lost his perception of the outside world at this moment, and completely entered a state of inward vision, like a bystander, observing the changes in the body as if a new star was born!
The new class template has replaced Sycamore's original [Apprentice Mage] template, and his upgraded bonus points have been reset to zero, with an additional 5+8 points that can be allocated by "non" basic attribute points.
5 points is level 0 and level 20, and every 4 levels + 1 point is accumulated, but where did the 8 points come out?
Wutong was stunned for a while before he understood, and suddenly "moved." In other words, the master-apprentice system in "Endless" is divided into many levels such as [apprentices, students, and disciples], but it is relatively very real.
For example, in the popular school, where a teacher teaches a large group of [apprentices], this type of mentor is usually a [beginner mage] who imparts basic arcane knowledge. …,
The few [students] who are able to become a certain [intermediate mage] will receive a slightly higher quality of education, almost similar to "small class education".
As for the [disciples] of [high-level mages], usually only a very small number of lucky "unlucky" children can enjoy them, because high-level mages rarely accept disciples in large quantities, and will selectively select several or even only one disciple with good qualifications for careful training.
In this way, the "talent remodeling" treatment that players can enjoy when they are officially inaugurated is very different, because the "talent remodeling" for the apprentice is also a loss of the mentor's own strength, which will consume a lot of their energy.
The strength of the [beginner mage] itself is not high, and the number of [apprentices] taught is huge, so it is naturally impossible to lose their own strength for each apprentice, so their "talent remodeling" will not invest too much of their own energy and cause damage to themselves, so that although it will not cause any adverse side effects to the apprentice, it will not have any benign effect, it is just a simple reset of the apprentice's bonus attribute to zero (washing point).
But if it's a small number of students who are recognized by the [beginner mage] (there will always be those "good students" who are liked by the teacher, aren't they?) You may be lucky enough to be favored by the extra favor and gain +1 or +2 bonus Talent Points.
And because the number of [Intermediate Mages] is small, the attrition that can be sustained when "reshaping the talents" for [Students] is higher, so after the [Students'] bonus points are reset to zero, they will also gain +3 and +4 additional talents, [Advanced Mage] +5, +6, [Super Mage] +7, +8,
This kind of relationship similar to "inheritance" makes the relationship between teachers and students far closer than that of the popular master-apprentice relationship, and the additional +8 additional talent attribute obtained by Wutong is naturally from Zemur, an 8th-order archmage, who does not hesitate to lose his own strength and "reshape his talent".
Although I feel that Zemmour, the old man, is unreliable, but this kind of "spring silkworm to the end of the silkworm, the wax torch to ashes and tears to dry." The spirit of education still moved Wutong a little.
Sycamore's original base talent attributes were:
Constitution 7 / Strength 10 / Agility 18 / Intelligence 18 / Perception 15 / Charisma 18
After adding points to zero, he gained 5 points of self-"冇" attribute and 8 points of additional attributes, a total of 13 points of assignable attributes, Wutong thought about it for a while, and added 3 points to his crippled [Constitution] attribute, getting rid of the miserable anemia state of only 60 HP so far.
For the remaining 10 points, Wutong hesitated, and added 3 points to the [Perception] attribute, and the remaining 7 points were all added to [Intelligence], so that his basic talent attribute became:
Constitution 10 / Strength 10 / Agility 18 / Intelligence 25 / Perception 18 / Charisma 18
Don't underestimate such a weak attribute adjustment, after the official inauguration, the derivative attribute is completely calculated based on the current highest value of the basic attribute!
In addition, after obtaining the official Mage class template, you will receive the following enhancements:
1. Intelligence +10
2. Energy +100%
3. Magic damage +100
4. Spell play +100%
5. Spell cost -50%
6. The preparation time for low-level spells is -1s~
7. [Meditation] Specialty Effect +100%
Such a change made Wutong's irrepressible "Gollum~" swallow his saliva, no wonder they all say that the first-order mage is the real mage! The gap with the 0th rank mage apprentice is too big!
How many benefits he obtained, Wutong couldn't sort it out for a while, and the surprise brought to him by Archmage Zemmour was not over yet, after Wutong gradually recovered from the surprise, he handed him a colorful soul crystal: "This is a reward for you to officially become a member of the Venane Academy, I believe you will like it"
Wutong took the multicolored soul crystal, and it quickly merged into his palm, and in Wutong's attribute panel, it turned into several [specialty] abilities similar to the [Meditation] specialty:
[Arcane Talent]: You have an uncanny talent for the Arcane Way, which gives you more arcane abilities than others.
Effect: Gain 3 additional spell slots per tier.
[Elite Education]: You come from a place where the pen is more respected than the sword, where you receive some of the benefits of a formal education.
Effect: All [Knowledge] skills become your own skills, choose two skills as your expertise, and they will be rewarded with +2.
[Arcane Academy]: You are a member of the Arcane Academy, and you will receive protection and blessings from the Academy.
Effect: +50% speed and effect of learning and research -
Trouble: It's finally officially inaugurating, and the reward for this chapter is 500, and it's almost time to open a new volume...... )
