Time flies, and when Lu Yuan raised his head, a year passed.

A lot has happened this year.

Lu Yuan is becoming Habashar? After Delin's assistant, he began to show his talent in forging, with a high attribute bonus, and his achievements on it can be called brilliant. After making his mark in all three realms, potions, arrow enchantment, and weapon crafting, he managed to craft his first enchanted chainmail, became a master of the four realms, and thus became a Habasser? Master Delin's assistant to the first informal mage.

Becoming an assistant means that he has his own independent laboratory to carry out his own research, and he is able to enter Habaasir? Master Delin's private library instead of the library of the Witchcraft Grocery Store, and a 5% commission on each product! Yes, no matter how long I did it, it was always voluntary labor with no money.

For the next six months, he stayed in the laboratory except for a few visits to the Thieves' Guild. Half a year later, Lu Yuan announced two things. First, he was able to parse the recipe for the "King of Thieves" potion, which was now available in witchcraft grocery stores. Plus, he'll get 20% of the potion's earnings for 10 years! Of course, the fact that such a high stake is more due to the second piece of news - he has successfully parsed the ring spell "Mage Armor" and has become an official mage!

This year, he was sixteen years old.

In terms of age, he is very ordinary, because many geniuses are able to cast first-level spells at the age of five or six, and to put it mildly, even more so those warlocks who rely on their faces to eat.

Only Habashar? Delin knows his genius, because there is only Habasser? Delin knew what kind of environment he was in to break through and become a first-level mage. So his congratulatory gift is a five-year flexible contract, a 16-foot space (about 5 cubic meters) of "secondary space bag" and a sentence - "Don't feel like me, let alone give up the motivation to move forward!" ”

The system thus gives a question called "Habather? Delin's Love", Lu Yuan intends to let it rot in the task bar forever.

I remember that when I played the Baldur's Gate game, the protagonist couldn't get a space bag in the Baldur's Gate area anyway, probably because the world he walked in didn't have much connection with the upper level of this world, and he was just a ranger outside the circle.

For people like Habaser? For a business tycoon and a master of magic like Delin, although the secondary space bag is rare, it is worth less than 10,000 gold coins, making it a very suitable gift for a new mage.

He had practiced the Rapier in private for a while. However, after fighting with a mercenary, oh, after he spent money to stealthily hire mercenaries to feed him, he temporarily gave up his plan to cultivate both magic and martial arts.

It can only be said that the so-called first-level "wandering swordsman" is still too weak. The upgrade is even more far away, three tasks, he completed the "officially become a mage" task in one year, and obtained 600 experience points. The rest of the time, whether it's killing a chicken or a goblin on the sly, it doesn't bring even a little bit of experience.

Complete "Habashar? Delin's Love"? He'd rather die!

During the year, due to Habashar? Delin's obvious importance and protection of him, and the attitude of others towards him, are constantly changing.

William put down the shelf very directly, and discussed with him a few times about the intention of forming an alliance, and his cousins are all official mages, which will be a force to be reckoned with in the future. In order to improve his relationship with Lu Yuan, he even paid for it himself and bought back the house owned by Lu Yuan's parents and later sold by his uncle.

After that, the two agreed that William would expand his power in the Mage's Guild and form his own group; And Lu Yuan will join the Alchemist Guild and strive to become a pivotal role, and the two will be each other's support in the future.

The sisters and brothers Niklas and Black Lily, their attitude towards Lu Yuan changed from looking down to looking up, and it took only a year. Of course, it was a mutually beneficial year, and the cherished potions made by Lu Yuan were sold at high prices on the black market, and through them they bought rare stolen goods, and both parties made a lot of money.

The most enviable thing is his contract, which is to work 6 hours a day, half a year and half a vacation, for a period of five years, which should be considered the first rate of treatment in a witchcraft grocery store.

******************************

Flowing like the Milky Way, shining like the sun.

Lu Yuan sat widely, cleared his thoughts, and slowly sank his consciousness into the darkness.

To describe, to read, to perceive.

Gradually, a silver light appeared around him, and it was a little bit of small points of light, like fireflies that filled the entire world. It is only when you look at it with your eyes that you turn a blind eye, and only after you enter meditation can you see it with your soul.

The point of light gradually becomes a spot of light, the spot of light becomes a brilliance, the brilliance is magnified into a galaxy, and the galaxy is magnified into a galaxy.

When every point of light is so big that it covers the sky.

In the darkness, the boundless "net" woven by silver filaments was revealed.

Consciousness touched on the Internet, and a torrent of arcane magic poured into the space of consciousness, and Lu Yuan manipulated it with his spirit, outlining a few symbols tremblingly.

When the model was fully formed, Lu Yuan's consciousness continued to sink towards the earth. He saw the second layer of the network, which was the flowing light, and he could even vaguely feel the power of the "source" in that distant place, but at this time, the tiredness from his consciousness made him have to retreat.

When he opened his eyes, there were already four models floating in the space of consciousness, in the shape of a question mark, which was "identification"; One is the shape of the eye, which is "sleep"; One is a burning flame, which is the "burning hand"; The last one is a translucent armor symbol, which is "Mage Armor".

Yes, he can already prepare four one-ring spells at once. In addition to the two spell slots provided by high intelligence bonuses, he already has two first-ring spell slots that can be used, which means that Lu Yuan is actually a second-level mage.

(As for the relationship between spell rings and character level, please refer to other books, so I won't go into details.) Basically, it's the two poles of the mage character, and the spell ring goes up one level. Level 3 learns two-ring spells, and level 5 learns three-ring spells, that's all. ）

Lu Yuan's way of preparing spells is no different from that of ordinary mages, except that he didn't take a spell book. It's very different in nature! The study of a magician has always been divided into three parts - meditation to exercise the spirit, learning to interpret spells, and holding a book to prepare magic.

Through constant meditation, it is the basic skill of a mage to get in touch with the magic web, to become familiar with and absorb the magic power, and to strengthen the connection with the magic web.

Then, by learning the information of the spell, to analyze the essential structure of the spell, and continue to test until it is mastered, this is the basic process of learning a new spell.

At the end of the day, he consumes expensive materials and transcribes well-researched spells into a magic book that he carries with him. When you are full of energy, you can open the magic book and connect to the magic network at the same time. According to the information in the magic book, build a model in the corresponding magic net, and then guide the injection of their own spiritual power and the magic power of the magic net to complete the preparation of magic. When needed, you can cast it as long as you complete the spell channel.

Lu Yuan has practiced the meditation method left by his father since he was a child, just to exercise his mental power, and he does not need to touch the magic net. The first spell he cast, the "Mage's Hand", was also cast through the magic power that emanated from the space through the mobilization of spiritual power. A very small number of mages who are born with strong spiritual power cast their first spells in this way in the enlightenment stage, and they do not need to be prepared to cast them directly.

After all, the magic required for the Zero Ring spell is very small, and the magic power escaping from the air can be satisfied, and there is no need to prepare it through the magic net. After they practiced the mage's meditation method, their spiritual power greatly increased their affinity for magic power, and they could easily obtain the required magic power through the magic net, so they embarked on the path of an orthodox mage.

Because Lu Yuan didn't have a mage to guide him, he couldn't even have a decent textbook. So what he has been using is to use spiritual power to mobilize magic power, both in the air and in the magic net, and then build a model in the magic net and use it. The affinity between the spiritual power and magic power obtained by his meditation is not high, so it is very difficult to learn magic. When he first prepared the magic, he couldn't even "bind" the magic, and it disappeared as soon as he turned around in the magic net......

After becoming a full-fledged mage and learning about the drawbacks of his meditation method, he thought more than once about giving up this meditative method and practicing the meditative method of a full-fledged mage instead. But there was always a thought in the dark that stopped him, telling him that now was the best choice, so he persevered. Now his mental power is almost the same as that of a seventh-level mage like William, but he can only successfully cast a ring of spells.

Of course, the benefits are not without it. He can use only mental power to cast spells without preparing spells. Because the Zero Ring spell invokes less magic power and consumes less mental power, he can cast it almost hundreds of times, and the speed is as fast as that of ordinary mages. But if it is a ring spell, at the same time, invoke the magic power of the free magic power and the magic net of the magic net, distort the model, fill the magic and then release it, he will consume three times the time and normal mental power of a normal mage. This spell is very dangerous, and the slightest disturbance will cause serious backlash, so be sure to make sure the environment is safe before attempting.

This method of spell casting is somewhat similar to the spell casting method of the Nether era, when there was no magic web, and the arcane power that filled the heavens and the earth was violent and changeable, and the arcane artists used their powerful mental power to shape the arcane energy into spells and cast them directly.

*************************

Putting nearly 10,000 gold coins of money and a change of clothes into the secondary space bag, some bread from the bakery downstairs, some barbecue meat, a crossbow, a magic book, some magic materials, and two magic rings, he found himself almost nothing. Shaking his head, he opened the attic window, and above it came a canopy, under which there was a stone basin for feeding the pigeons.

There are many pigeons at the Gate of Boter, and every morning a flock of pigeons with whistles hovers over the city. This is how many people wake up from a dream, open the window to breathe in the fresh air, watch the pigeon fly, and start the whole day.

Therefore, out of love for pigeons, many families have such feeding basins on their roofs.

Lu Yuan stirred a little in those grains, and in the middle of those grains that were scattered, several thumb-sized bottles were exposed. That's where he hid things all along, right in a place where everyone could see them. Every time Niklas came, he grabbed the edge of the basin with his hand and flipped it down, but he never looked at it......

With everything in order, Lu Yuan plans to go on a trip.

System-wise, it was too safe and too quiet to be an upgrade for him. And he also wants to go on a trip like those new mages to find opportunities to improve his mage level.

Those kind hands that reached out, the incomparably loose contract, Lu Yuan, who had experienced countless experiences in his previous life, clearly knew that he was not worth that price, and those people invested in his future. If his future doesn't live up to expectations, then he'll have to pay it back!

Alchemy is a skill closely related to the level of magic, and it is not something that Lu Yuan can do anything by directly increasing the level with skill points.

The production of a bottle of magic potion requires a lot of work. The cultivation, collection, refinement, purification, extraction, synthesis and so on of materials, as well as the last and most important step, casting spells. Only a bottle of potion produced in this way can have a magical effect and be called a magic potion.

Mages of different levels cast the same spell, and the effect of higher-level mages is much higher than that of beginner casters, which is the difference in casting levels. The spell casting level is generally equivalent to the mage level, and for Lu Yuan, his ostensible spell casting level is level one. In fact, he studied a kind of account in Habashar? The secret method in the Delin Library can add the level of part-time to the caster's level, up to a maximum of 4 levels. So his two-level mage plus one-level wandering swordsman has a spell casting level of 3.

What can a caster do at level 3? Can be used as a primary magic potion, such as a minimum-effect medical potion. Or a simple magical artifact, like a crystal ball or something, the kind of dozens of gold coins each.

Even though his alchemy skills were as high as a dozen levels, even though it took him a whole day to complete 90% of the process of a bottle of potion, he could only get 5% of the gain. A fourth-ring seventh-level mage spends a minute casting spells on a potion, and when it's finished, he easily takes 15%.

That's the difference.

The threshold for crafting magic weapons and armor or shields is cast level 5; Crafting a wand requires cast level 5; Crafting Wands and Magic Trinkets requires cast level 12! It's almost the preserve of middle-aged and elderly magicians.

You don't have to be surprised to see that a small +1 ring actually costs 5,000 gold coins, behind it is hidden countless years of hard research and exploration by an intermediate mage!
