Chapter 28: Renewal of the Mantra Lv4 (Thanks to the Standing Mage and the Uchiha Hanhan for the tip!!)
The next morning, before dawn, Link woke up.
To be precise, he was awakened, because at this moment there was a message in front of him that was constantly flashing with golden light.
【Refill Spell Lv4 obtained!】
After realizing the meaning of the entry in front of him, Link instantly bounced up from the bed, his movement was so loud that it even caused the entire bunk to vibrate, but fortunately, John, who slept on his top bunk, was still in a state of being deeply sealed by the quilt goblin, and did not wake up because of this.
Link didn't care about such an inconsequential thing at the moment, but immersed himself in consciousness and began to check the harvest after the upgrade of the Renewal Spell.
Like the previous upgrades, this time the Renewal Spell reached lv4 and also enhanced the effect and controllability of the Renewal Spell, and also gave Link the ability to silently cast the Renewal Spell.
It's just that the silent spell casting skill he has obtained is to help control the magic power by silently reciting spells in his heart, and to form a spell model externally, so as to cast spells.
This is a bit different from the method he understood before to directly use mental power to control magic power to form a spell model, which can be regarded as a shortcut, after all, with his current mental power, it is impossible to control magic power to make delicate operations.
And even this kind of lazy way of taking shortcuts, Link actually barely achieved it with the help of Goldfinger, which means that if he wants to make other spells silent, he still needs to increase the skill level of the related spells.
In addition to the silent version of the Renewal Spell, Link also gained a very important piece of information from the knowledge that came with the upgrade.
That is, the refill spell is not just for refilling.
You must know that the principle of the refilling mantra is actually to refill a certain container with a certain liquid from the outside, and the concept of this container is actually very broad.
A drinking glass is a container, a saucer is a container, a cabinet is a container, and living beings and even people are containers!
Imagine if you treated a living person's alveoli as a vessel and cast a rejuvenating spell on it.
So what about replacing the alveoli with the brain, with the bladder and even the heart?
If this is true, the refill spell will suddenly change from a mere refill spell to a powerful attack spell!
After all, the consumption of the refill spell is very small, the activation is silent, and the injuries that can be caused are also very weird and bizarre, what a terrifying effect would such a spell be if it was used in assassination?
It's not easy to achieve this effect, though, as the spell model for refilling spells is now set to only work on dead objects.
If Link wants to transform it into an attack spell, he'll need to change its spell model.
And this goes back to the original problem, Link's mental power is not enough for him to flexibly control the magic power and perform fine operations, let alone transform the spell model.
According to this line of thinking, he still has a long way to go.
But Link didn't have the idea of being discouraged, because he had a hunch that the problem would soon be solved.
"Whew!~"
After summarizing the information about the renewal of the spell, Link's original excitement gradually calmed down, and at this time, the hands of the clock on the bedside table were also placed at 5 o'clock, Link glanced at the clock, and finally took a deep breath, put on his clothes and left the dormitory.
The matter of renewing the spell could be studied later, but now he would be late if he didn't set off.
When Link hurried to the Great Hall, he saw Filch pacing in the foyer of the Great Hall, looking very anxious.
Today, Filch is clearly well-dressed, with the thinning hair on top of his head oiled and a shabby tuxedo from an unknown age.
To be honest, Link believes that Filch is already very careful to dress up.
It's just that some things don't change by dressing up, just like now, even though Filch is dressed like a human, the slight bowing posture and many other micro-movements when he walks still make him look like a little person who doesn't fit into the flow.
Link, on the other hand, is different.
Although Link didn't dress up like Filch, and even his face was a little haggard because of the fact that the Super Sense Charm was out of control again, as long as he stood with Filch, no matter who saw him, he would default to Link, the little wizard, being the dominant figure between the two.
As for Filch, he was a servant at best.
Inwardly made some comments on Filch's outfit, Link didn't stop at his feet, but walked straight into the foyer.
The sound of his footsteps, which was not disguised, also caught Filch's attention, and Filch turned his head to glare at Link before opening his mouth and saying in a suppressed voice:
"Why are you here now, the other students are about to get up!"
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Link said with an angry look at Filch, "I've read the invitation, and the quick mantra class doesn't start until 9 a.m., and we still have plenty of time." ”
Hearing this, Filch's expression immediately became weird, and he seemed to want to scold Link twice, but he forcibly endured it, and finally could only say in a trembling voice:
"Yes, if it's until class, we do have plenty of time. It's just that the other students are going to get up in a moment, do you want them to know that you're out for a quick mantra class?"
As soon as these words came out, the look of dissatisfaction on Link's face immediately disappeared.
What are you kidding, if his classmates really know about it, then how will he mix up at Hogwarts in the future?
Thinking like this, Link didn't care what happened to Filch, and walked out of the foyer quickly.
As soon as he left the castle, Link saw a pure black carriage parked in the square and waiting.
The carriage itself was very ordinary, the kind of carriage style that was often seen in the Victorian period.
But the four creatures that were pulling at the head of the carriage were different.
It was a large, reptile-like creature with a dragon-like face and bat-like wings, and at first glance Link thought it was a skeleton horse.
But after reacting, Link understood.
This is Thestrals, a rare and dangerous creature that is said to be visible only to those who have witnessed death.
Link didn't show any surprise that he could see Thestrals, after all, in his previous life, due to the particularity of his profession, death or something was commonplace for him.
After silently examining these magical creatures, Link sat into the carriage without saying a word.
It was not long before Filch trotted to the carriage with his somewhat lame leg, and after glancing at the Thestrals with some fear, he took the driver's seat very consciously, and pulled up the reins to sit the coachman for Link.
