Highly recommended:
Wells minored in black spells, although he was far less proficient than Landolia, and because he specialized in magic instead of spells and prayers, the black hole spell was not a problem for him, but the matter of perceiving elements was not a problem for him as a high-level person.
"Lando, isn't this ......?" he didn't make it too clear, after all, Ankka and the Shadow Beastmaster were on the side, and Wells didn't want to reveal the origin of his lover.
"That's right, that's over there. The Vice Dean nodded slightly. Although Crohyth said that when Liu Li's strength improved, he would be able to help her return to her hometown, but suddenly seeing the spatial rift connected to the "Necromantic Realm", Landolia still couldn't calm down. Even if the rift has been closed, there has been no sign of it opening again for so many years.
The black elemental nature is already quiet, and the "death elemental" that escapes is not as violent as the red "chaos element", but Ankka still avoids these elements, and has no interest in the dumb riddles played by Wells and Landolia. The old mage had just broken free from the erosion of the "chaotic elemental", and the aftermath had not yet been resolved, and he didn't want to provoke another strange element.
The Shadow Beastmaster was accustomed to this closed rift, the rift had existed when it first came to Shadow Iron Mountain, and it had been in a closed state, and there had been no movement until now, if it hadn't been mentioned by Anka, it would have almost forgotten the existence of this rift. High-level magical beasts have no less intelligence than humans, and they can also cast spells, but this way of casting spells is more instinctive. The Beastmaster can sense the existence of the "death element", and can also perceive that it is just another manifestation of the black element, but he is limited by the magic crystal in his body and only belongs to the "dark element" of this world, but he is always at a loss to control the "death element". Over time, this spatial rift, which has always existed in the lair, is no longer valued by the Beastmaster, although it pays attention to the situation of the rift all the time, but that is just a matter of habit. As long as this spatial rift does not change for a day, this kind of attention will only stay at the level of habit, and will not increase or decrease.
"Forget it, there's no need to dwell on these things now, it seems that this rift won't change for a while. Landolia, who had regained her composure, did not continue to pay attention to this closed spatial rift, after all, it had been calm for so long, and it seemed that it would continue to be calm, and now, there were more important things waiting for her to do.
In the more than an hour that Wells and Landolia had studied the spatial rift, the operation of the absorption circle had reached the extreme, except for the black elements in the entire dark cave, the other elements had been extracted under the effect of the circle, and the chaotic elements were not left, all of them were absorbed into the element crystals embedded in the main array.
In the psychic communication network built by Landolia, the team of mid-level mages brought by Wells, including Winnie and Max, received a summons from the Vice Dean, informing them that the mission had been completed and that they could evacuate the dark cave.
The "Greyhorn" team was the one with the worst losses this time, first encountering the Beastmaster of Chaos, and then encountering the collapse of the circle, resulting in a final attrition of up to 70%. Fortunately, Owen received a guarantee from Landolia and learned that the Vice Dean could allow him to recruit spellcasters as members of the team in Eleno City in order to make up for the loss of the "Gray Corner", which made him dismiss the idea of disbanding the mercenary group.
The location where the "Gray Corner" was responsible for building the circle was farthest from the entrance of the dark cave, and it had been four days since Liu Li saw the sunlight again. Leaving the cave does not need to be in the same hurry as when you enter, and there are many wounded people who need to be taken care of, so it naturally consumes a lot of time. This mission can be described as dangerous and abnormal in general, especially the magic circle in charge of the "gray corner" has frequent accidents, Liu Li, who left the cave, is exhausted, and now he doesn't want to care about anything else except for a good night's sleep.
Regarding the closed spatial rift, Landolia showed Liu Li the whole process of exploration in the psychic communication, and the vice dean, who already possessed the black ancient runes, did not need Liu Li's opinion as a reference, just to let this talented student have a long insight. In fact, the black ancient rune that Crohyth gave to Landolia was still slightly different from Liu Li's. Although the form of the elemental flow in it is completely identical, after all, there is no magical blue in Landolia's meditation space, which makes her runes have nowhere to cling to, and there is no pulsation like Liu Li's, giving people a feeling of "living".
During the four days he left the cave, Liu Li often discussed the issue of ancient runes with the vice president in spiritual communication. Croxis gave Liu Li the knowledge of rune manipulation, and Landolia also used it for reference, but only for reference, as a high-level mage, even if she got the rune inheritance, she couldn't change the elemental manipulation habit she had developed over the years.
When Liu Li came out of the dark cave, it was just after noon, and when she woke up, it was already the next morning. In fact, Liu Li really wanted to continue sleeping, and the experience of bottoming out his mental strength several times during the mission was not something that could be recovered by sleeping, but the hunger from his stomach made him have to get up and find some food to satisfy his hunger.
The hall downstairs of the hotel was empty, and at five o'clock in the morning, almost all the passengers were still resting in their rooms, and Liu Li seemed to be the only one who got up so early. The only thing to be thankful for was that the innkeeper was already busy preparing breakfast in the back kitchen, and Liu Li asked for a simple breakfast consisting of fried eggs, bacon, white bread, and thick soup, and sat in the corner of the hall to begin to sort out the harvest from this mission.
Well, in fact, if you think about it carefully, Liu Li has gained a lot in this mission.
The first is its own strength.
In terms of spell cultivation, after a year of retreat in the academy, several battles in this mission have made him understand and use the elements a little deeper, and when he digests the experience gained in battle, breaking through the second-order intermediate level is just around the corner. Especially this time, not only did he get the experience of manipulating the black ancient runes taught by Crocys, but even the red runes that were dismantled by Liu Li gradually condensed and formed. After returning to Eleonor City, the "Chaos Element" absorbed in the Elemental Crystal will be fused with the "Scorching Element" that already exists in this world, and the red ancient rune will hopefully be restored to its original state. In fact, whether it was the experience of manipulating the black runes or the condensation of the red runes, it was nothing to Liu Li. Previously, based on the green element model, the "unclean power" formed by infusing the black element was the biggest gain of this trip. The fusion and use of color elements has opened a new door for Liu Li, as long as it is studied in depth, this kind of spell casting method that no one has ever dared to try will surely become the foundation for Liu Li's strength to improve.
Compared with spells, Liu Li's improvement in martial arts is even greater. During the battle, Liu Li almost always used martial arts to fight the enemy, and the spells were only attached to the weapon to amplify the power of the attack, and the most important thing was that almost all the battles experienced this time were melees, which made him improve his footwork speed by a thousand miles. In terms of the use of basic martial arts, thanks to the talent support that has been promoted to "all-round", although it is not possible to achieve the same mid-level martial arts as Lin, which integrates different martial arts in one blow, the conversion between the two martial arts can also be achieved smoothly without any jerky feeling. Even Liu Li felt that it was not impossible for martial arts to advance to the middle level one step before spells.
Let's talk about the harvest of foreign objects. After killing so many chaotic beasts, Liu Li did not take any materials such as animal skins and bones, and left all of them to the "Gray Corner" mercenary group to make up for the losses in the battle, but the magic crystal gained a lot. The value of a single primary-level magic crystal is not high, but dozens or hundreds of them are stacked together to make people really hot. Especially these things, not to mention high-level mages like Landolia and Wells, even middle-level spellcasters like Winnie and Max couldn't look down on them, and in the end, they all naturally fell into Liu Li's hands. These magic crystals can just be used as a consumption for him to practice carving the magic circle, and they can be regarded as a hidden resource.
Let's look at the crystallization of those elements that Liu Li himself condensed. Two were used for the main absorption circle of the Beastmaster's Lair, one for each of the five auxiliary arrays, plus one for the final repair of the circle. A total of eight elemental crystals in the arrangement and absorption circle are not consumables, and a large number of elements enriched in the dark cave are all included in them, it can be said that after the baptism of the magic circle, the elements contained in these eight crystals are more abundant, and it may be an exaggeration to say that one is above the past two, but it is more than enough to say that the element content is increased by fifty.
Although the two crystals on the circle that had been transformed into shields were completely destroyed, the consumption of the elements in the two crystals that were given to Wells and Landolia for spellcasting was not severe. Compared to such a big gain, it was just the loss of two elemental crystals, and Liu Li didn't care about it at all.
In addition, "Flash" and "Mang" also successfully transformed in the baptism of pure black elements, although the form of the cat surprised Liu Li, but the increase in combat power cannot be ignored. If the blessing of the previous two small things could increase Liu Li's overall combat power by fifty percent, then after they transformed, this increase was enough to more than double.
"Yo, wake up early. Wells, who was in a red robe, came to the hall in good spirits, and after seeing Liu Li, he first said hello, then turned his head and began to shout: "Boss, bring me a big glass of ale!"
"Teacher, you drink like this early in the morning, does Teacher Landor know?" Liu Li looked at the old drunkard like this, and couldn't help but have the urge to remind.
"Landuo, she won't be able to get up for a while. Suddenly sensing that something seemed to be missing, Wells quickly added: "Well, she slept too late last night studying the black rune she just got, but that thing is really amazing." ”
Liu Li looked at this old drunkard who had blushed before drinking, and couldn't help but sigh that his teacher was really a model of disrespect for the elderly. But he didn't dare to continue the conversation, for fear of annoying Wells and making him angry, and he would be the one who ended up miserably.
"It's no wonder that after sleeping for so long, I don't feel like I'm sleeping well. Liu Li could only secretly slander in his heart: "Old drunkard, you don't say to make a soundproof spell or something, when Teacher Landuo comes to trouble you, I won't be able to save you." ”
