Chapter 11: Mana Reversal
In the small town of Palaya, the mayor's mansion, in the warm room of Miss Shirley.
Alan's sudden words caught Mayor Grenor off guard, surprised and delighted. The joy is that Alan personally said that his daughter Shirley was saved, and the surprise is that Alan actually wants Shirley to be his disciple.
For a moment, Grenor didn't understand what was going on. Although Eren is a spellcaster, he is only twelve or thirteen years old after all, and he has never shown his strength. At his age, there are not many inaugural spellcasters, but in the Golden City, there are always a few in a year or two. Although I heard that this young man can control six giant wolves, what is this?
Such a young spell caster suddenly said that he wanted his daughter to be his disciple. Shirley is still studying, and what she is learning is also magic, but Grenor does not answer.
Alan seemed to see something in Grenor's eyes, and soon realized who he was now. If he was an older spellcaster, even if his level was only one order, perhaps Grenor would be very excited to agree when he heard the news.
After all, spell skills are easy to buy, but advanced spell teachers are very rare, and not everyone can get the favor of noble spellcasters.
"In fact, your daughter has very good mage qualities, and my teacher is a third-order mage, and he can impart Shirley's top-notch mage knowledge." Alan changed his euphemism, and the excitement he felt when he first met Nina, with strong self-control, has temporarily calmed down.
Without waiting for Grenor to speak, Alan said, "Let's talk about Miss Shirley's condition first." "Alan has experienced a long life in the game, and he has his own deep understanding of the feelings in the world, and he understands in his heart that at this moment, treating Shirley is what Grenor cares about the most, and his request is inevitably a little too abrupt.
Of course, whether it's Shirley or Nina. The lovely, sleeping girl in front of her, the most beloved disciple in her previous life, in the past, Alan would never allow her to be hurt in any way, to suffer a little pain. Now that they meet again, Alan naturally has countless indescribable feelings in his heart, no matter what, he will definitely try his best to provide a stable life for Shirley in the troubled times in the future.
Allen changed the topic, and Grenor didn't continue to study deeply, but he was slightly stunned when he heard the word "third order", this is the most top-notch existence in the Sacred Continent, no wonder Allen is so calm at a young age, and has the professional badge.
But as a father, Grenaud is most concerned about the comfort of his daughter's life at this time, as long as Shirley can be safe and can wake up, anything is fine.
"The scars on Shirley's hands are in a petrified state, and the petrified elements affect Shirley's physical function through the skin and flesh, so Shirley has been in a coma." Alan looked at Greno and said Shirley's current state.
Grenor nodded, his eyes still full of anxiety. As an old knight with rich combat experience, Greno naturally knew that the gray stiff marks on his daughter's arms were caused by the art of petrification. In order to remove the petrification effect on Shirley's body, Grenor has tried his best these days, but he can't even find a bottle of magic potion that can slightly relieve the symptoms, for which the town elder feels deep self-blame.
"Honorable Warlock, you must have a way to remove the petrification effect on Shirley, right, and if you can help us, Grenor is grateful." The middle-aged mayor's tone was earnest, with a request.
Alan's heart warmed. In Nina's memory, the father played an extremely important role, and it was Greno's good character that influenced his daughter. Nina has always been a girl full of responsibility and compassion. For Allen, and for countless unrelated civilians, Nina paid a lot.
"I will definitely give Ni...... Shirley's best treatment. She doesn't leave any scars on her hands! Alan replied in the affirmative.
"Really, thank you so much!" Greno said excitedly.
Alan looked at Shirley's situation again, in fact, the petrification effect on Shirley's body was not serious, but because the petrification time was too long, and Shirley herself was originally very soft, so she would be in a coma for a long time.
The only problem at the moment is that although Alan knows how to unseal the petrification technique, it is a mage spell, and as a warlock, he has no way to cast the mage skill at the moment.
After a long journey from the small town of Combe to the small town of Palaya, Allen's attributes have changed a bit.
Strength 28, Agility 24, Constitution 29, Intelligence 25, Perception 15.
The intelligence and perception attributes have exceeded 15, which has reached the minimum entry requirements for mages, but unfortunately, mages and warlocks are both spellcaster adventure professions, and the path to improvement is far from the same. Today's Allen, I'm afraid he can't become a mage like he did back then. This matter was already understood on the first day of Allen's inauguration as a warlock due to the situation.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, he was faced with a situation where he needed to use mage spells.
But Eren didn't feel anxious, as a mage who had stepped into the legendary stage with one foot, Eren still had a way to dissolve this little petrification technique. Just doing so comes at a price.
Eren can use special methods to allow himself to obtain the spellcasting abilities of the mages, but the consequence of this is that he will not have any mana to use in the next few days, and if something happens, the situation will be very critical.
It's just that Shirley's situation obviously can't be delayed any longer, for Shirley, Alan can do anything, and there is no way to use mana for a few days, which is not a price for Allen.
"Mr. Mayor, I need a quiet room, and I will remove the petrification technique for Miss Shirley before dawn, is that okay?" Alan asked.
When Grenor heard this, he hurriedly said: "No problem, I have you to thank you, honorable warlock, Greno will arrange it immediately." ”
The two of them left Shirley's room, and without a servant, Grenor led Alan himself, and soon entered a large room with two huge bookshelves on the walls, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of books.
On a wall hung a long sword and a shield, and when Alan looked at it, he knew that this was the same weapon that Grenor used to establish his exploits in his youth. Thinking of the old knight who had already hung his sword, after the great change, he resolutely stepped forward, but finally ended up on the battlefield with his life, Allen felt a burst of pathos in his heart.
If he could, Alendin was willing to help the great father in any way he could.
"Mr. Allen, this is my study, although the place is not spacious, it is absolutely quiet, I don't know if it is possible." Greno asked.
Alan nodded with satisfaction, tonight, Alan could feel that Grenor had great trust in him, and did not show any distrust because he was young, which made Alan feel grateful.
"It was a great den, exactly the room I needed. This is bothering, borrowing this place for the time being. Alan thanked.
Grenor showed a rare smile: "Mr. Warlock is too polite, just use it." ”
After saying that, he immediately turned around, walked to the door, and stopped: "If you have any orders, dear sir, just open your mouth, there are people waiting outside the door at any time, and I will always wait for your news." ”
Alan said, "No, thank you, Mr. Gregor, when the sun appears in the east, I will walk out of the room." ”
"Then Mr. Allen, please take care of yourself." Greno exited the room.
In the study, Alan was alone, in fact, it was not as unbearable as Mr. Grenor had suggested, and the mayor's study was spacious and warm. Alan stabilized his mind a little, and didn't think about it anymore, tonight he would temporarily reverse his mana and use it to cast the Stone Dissolving Sealing Spell.
Reversing spells is an extremely dangerous thing, and in the process, Eren will not be able to use any skills. Out of an abundance of caution, Eren summoned the Flame Imp and ordered him to stay in the corner of the room to protect himself.
Alan held the Warlock Staff in his hand, his palms were slightly sweaty, and the sharp end of the staff kept drawing on the luxurious carpet in the study, and as the staff moved, a faint blue light took shape on the carpet, and the room was silent.
Soon, a six-pointed star circle with a diameter of about one meter had already taken shape, and when Alan endured the sweat on his forehead, drew the last stroke, and completely closed the six-pointed star array, the light of the circle became even more intense, and the blooming blue light filled the entire room, through the cracks in the door and the window, and spread to the outside world.
Just when many people in the mansion were surprised, Alan was already sitting cross-legged in the six-pointed star and began to meditate.
"You've drawn a special magic circle."
"Note that this is a magic circle that is classified as a 'forbidden art', and it is extremely dangerous."
"You're in extreme danger, please stop meditating."
The sound of the system sounded in Allen's ears, but the young half-elf ignored this, insisting on his own meditation and getting rid of all distractions.
"Detected that you are now in the process of mana reversal."
"The process cannot be stopped, it cannot be disturbed."
"Mana Reversal Process 1%"
While the sound of the system was still going on, Allen's mind had fallen into boundless meditation, and in the starry sky of thoughts, Ailu was like a planet that was spinning rapidly, countless thoughts, turning rapidly.
A body of mana, under the influence of the six-pointed star circle and the power of meditation, has changed, and gradually become a power that mages can use, and the soul power that Allen has accumulated for many days has also begun to lose due to the reduction of the warlock's mana.
"Mana Reversal Process 13%"
……
"Mana Reversal Process 23%"
Time passed minute by minute, and cold sweat continued to break out on Allen's fair face. Reversing the spell is a very painful process, and in his previous life, Eren had only tried it once.
At that time, he already had a powerful mage mana, and in order to complete a legion mission, Allen converted his mana into the power of a warlock with the help of the blue dragon, and the pain he suffered at that time is still fresh in his memory.
At present, Allen's mana is thin and his cultivation is weak, and it is precisely because of this that Allen has the confidence that his mana conversion will definitely succeed.
"Mana Reversal Process 87%"
The night was already deep, deep, and there was not a trace of superfluous light except for the magic circle.
Allen's mana reversal process entered a critical moment, and at this time, a shadow appeared in the courtyard of the mayor's mansion. The man was dressed in night clothes, his pupils were as black as night, and his ears were slightly pointed, he was actually a rare dark elf in the north!
