Chapter 14: Fireball
My heart was terrified, and I wanted to rest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Carl lay on the soft bed, soothing his little heart, in the space just now, the spell that Pache scared him was much more powerful than the flame hell of the Xia Zuo group of fog slaying demons, the six-meter-thick fire dragon pounced on him, feeling that the whole world in front of him was set on fire, even if it was still more than ten meters away, he could feel the obvious high temperature.
The mana pool was mostly empty, and it felt strangely uncomfortable, and Carl sat down on the bed and began to meditate.
There are still benefits to regular consumption and recovery, and in just seven days, the mana limit has increased by 3 points.
And Carl obviously felt that his mana recovery speed had also been greatly improved.
After more than an hour, after meditating, Carl jumped out of bed and opened the curtains, and it was already dark.
Walking out the door, there were two plates covered with insulated lids on the cabinet at the entrance of the third floor, and Carl secretly prayed to thank God and the lady-in-waiting for food.
There were two sticky notes on the lid, one Carl and one Rodney, and it seemed that the old man had not eaten.
There was a slight noise from upstairs from time to time, could it be from above?
Carl picked up two plates and walked up the stairs.
The fourth floor is only half the size of the bottom, resembling an attic, with more than half of it being tightly packed bookshelves and a small part of the space being a set of laboratory benches.
Master Rodney was trying to refine the medicine, but looking at his darkened face, it was estimated that he had failed.
"Let's eat first. Karl greeted.
"Why did it fail, the scaly mushrooms and vine bushes should be able to refine into a potion that greatly improves the physique of the human body in a short period of time. Master Rodney muttered as he took the food plate.
The old man and the young man quickly finished their dinner, and Carl brought the plate down and climbed up to the fourth floor.
"Master Rodney, can I borrow a book?" Karl asked tentatively.
The old man waved his hand: "Take it yourself, most of the information can be read directly, the spell book is prohibited, you can only read it if you spend money, it's not that I'm stingy, this is the rule of the headquarters." ā
Carl trotted all the way to the bookshelf, and sure enough, a small part of the bookshelves had a faint light film on the outside, and his hand couldn't reach into it.
Check out the other books.
It's messy.
Carl looked speechlessly at the shelves of myths, legends, and geography magazines, children's literature, and cooking materials, and how difficult it was to find what he wanted to read.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to look at it, so I picked up a bunch of them, said hello to the old man and went back to my room.
The old man was immersed in his research, and he didn't even look at him.
[Enter]
As soon as Carl entered the Void Shard, the things in his hand were instantly empty, and they were snatched by Patchouli.
The girl struggled to hold the book and moved towards the desk step by step.
"You'd better let me come. Carl looked at the girl's panting appearance and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"No! I'll do it myself. The girl gasped as she breathed.
The handling was successful.
"You're in poor health. Carl complained as he looked at Pache as he propped his hands on the desk.
"Hmph. Patchouli snorted dissatisfiedly, "Bring me pen and paper, a lot of it." ā
"What for?" said Karl curiously.
Pache sat down in her chair and picked up a travel notebook, looked at it, and said, "I've copied it, you can return it." ā
Is it okay to transcribe so many books?
Karl looked at the pile of books that were more than half a meter high, and they were about to bury the girl.
But since she asked to do it herself, it wasn't a hassle anyway.
Carl left the Void Fragment and went downstairs to find Mary, who seemed to be preparing to leave work.
"What's the matter, Mr. Carr. Mary asked.
"I want some paper and pen. Carl snapped his face, "The more the merrier." ā
Thinking that Patchouli would probably need a lot, he added, "I'll pay for it." ā
"Paper and pen are cheap, no money. Mary came out of the counter and walked to the second floor, "How much?"
"Probably, uh, let's get ten kilograms first. Carl estimated that this number was not enough.
The maid's body trembled obviously, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Five silver coins." ā
Coming out of the warehouse on the second floor, the maid looked at Carl with an obviously strange look, and Carl ran into his room as if he had escaped.
[Enter]
"You're here. Patchouli's little head poked out from behind the stacks of books.
Karl put five kilograms of plain white paper, two large jars of ink and ten quills on the desk: "Something." ā
"Hmm. The girl spread out a blank piece of paper, then suspended a book in mid-air and unfolded it, and with a flick of her hand, a quill flew up automatically, and the ink fell on her hand.
And then there's the magical, no, I should say magic.
Patchouli writes just one word, and the words and patterns that follow it are immediately generated, and then the white paper full of words automatically floats to the side and stacks neatly on top of each other, and at the same time a blank piece of paper floats in front of Patchouli.
The girl smiled and put away the book that had reached the end of the page, then picked up the paper she had copied and bound it with a swipe of her hand, and by the way added a cover to it with a thick cardboard made of several sheets of paper.
Carl watched from the sidelines, and she seemed to be enjoying the process, and he saw her smile for the first time.
A smile from the heart, and a focused girl.
"What are you looking at me for?" Patchui gave Carl a strange look.
"Ah, no, nothing. Karl looked away a little flustered, "You, how did you do that?"
I can't say that I was attracted to her just now, so hurry up and find a topic.
"This one is a very simple little spell. Pache said as she pulled out a new book, "But there is a limit to how you can use it, you have to memorize it." ā
"Memorize, memorize?" Karl muttered to himself, "Then what are you copying it down for?"
Anyway, it's much harder to memorize a book than to copy it.
Pache looked at Carl like a fool.
"There will always be something forgotten, isn't the role of books just that, recording and passing on. "Well, don't bother me, I'll get the books back tomorrow morning." ā
Karl shrugged his shoulders and didn't leave, but ran to a clearing farther away to study magic.
He already had a clue.
Flames rose from his hands, as usual.
However, Carl concentrated his mental power into the flame, and he could find that there was a simple rune inside the flame, which consisted of only two disconnected lines and a dot.
If he uses his mental power to change this rune, the flame will change, it may become larger, hotter, or it may change shape, such as a spherical flame, but the thing will disappear after throwing it a few meters, and it will not be considered a fireball.
Of course, it is more likely that the flames will collapse and disappear, and at the same time consume a lot of Carl's mana and mental power, but fortunately, it can be recovered without damage in the summoning space, and the speed of recharging mana points is quite fast, as for spiritual power, I can only rest more, and there is no particularly good way.
Karl skillfully added dots and lines, and connected some of them in series, and when 13 lines and 20 dots were reached, the flame in Karl's hand quickly compressed, condensing into something very unstable in his hand.
Just one step away, Carl hesitated, he had failed many times in this step before, and he didn't know how to start, after staring at the pattern of the rune for more than ten minutes, Carl suddenly felt as if there was some hallucination in front of him, as if a line was automatically added to the rune, and if he looked carefully, it was indeed an illusion, but if he added a line according to the position in that illusion......
The shaking flame group quieted down and turned into a steady small fireball, and with a movement of Karl's mind, the fireball flew towards the ground 20 meters away, and did not collapse in the middle, but flew safely to the target location, and then exploded, turning into sparks.
It worked!
Carl shook his fist excitedly, and suddenly felt a little weak in his body, only to realize that his mental power and magic power were too much consumed.
Unfolded the panel and looked at the mana value of 6/26 on it, Carl showed a wry smile, a fireball blue cost is as high as 20 points, and he wilted with one.
"Do you know why there is a difference between level 9 and level 10 when you also master the magic of the five rings?" Patchouli happened to copy a book about mages and looked up at Carl.
"Why?"
"Mastering more than three spells in the same ring requires a deep enough understanding of the spells in that ring, and the advantage is that you only need to consume half of the mana to channel the same spell. Patchouli said, "Mastering one five-ring spell is a level 9 mage, and mastering three is level 10, this is the difference." ā
"So if I learn the Three Rings spell, my Fireball Spell will only consume half of my mana?" Karl said with some excitement.
"Theoretically, so. ā
Carl dragged his tired body to sit on the bed and began to meditate, meditation can't help but quickly restore mana, and it is also very good for the recovery and improvement of mental power, so many mages choose to meditate instead of sleep.
But sleep is also necessary, and if you only meditate for a long time without sleeping, it will lead to the instability of the seeds of mental power.
