Chapter 55 On the Importance of Casting Spells and Avoiding Materials

"It takes a little imagination and creativity to use magic? It's really the most thought-provoking thing I've ever heard in my life. Kurang couldn't help but sigh.

As a "wild mage" with no backstage and strong teachers to teach, his magic path can be described as stumbling.

Especially in terms of theoretical knowledge and foundation, the gap with those "academic mages" who receive systematic education is simply not ordinary.

In many cases, Courant had to study the lessons that took months or years to come up on his own, and the latter often only needed to take a lecture or listen to a casual tutor.

This is also the reason why others barely became a mage who mastered the arcane of the three rings after middle age, and they were full of confusion about their future.

Even ordinary academic mages can't compare, let alone a "genius" like Zuo Si who was personally trained by the necromantic archmage - Asta.

In fact, if Zuo Si sorted out the various books and magic-related knowledge in the brain [Thinking Library], it was estimated that he would be able to fill an entire room.

Because during the time he lived in the Tower of the Floating City, one of his greatest hobbies was collecting books, scrolls, and notes that he had not read.

Although this is only to satisfy some strange personal fetish, many books, scrolls, and notes that are not used for the time being have not had time to read them seriously, and are simply stored in the [Mind Library].

However, as soon as it is needed, it can be retrieved and consulted immediately.

To a certain extent, Zuo Si himself is equivalent to a mobile library, which will automatically record everything he sees and hears anytime and anywhere.

Just as Kuran wanted to ask more details about this magical ritual, Epke suddenly interrupted, "Lord Soth, if we get close now, those zombie rats won't attack us, right?" ”

You don't need to ask, this bald fat man can't wait to go over and see if there is still a living mouth in that pile of corpses, which can provide him with some useful information.

For example, who is the leader of the nezumi named Ranny, who is secretly supported by whom?

What is the purpose of the other party's this?

And those that might be back-handed?

Zuo Si was obviously not interested in this kind of overt and covert battle between the thieves' guilds, and replied directly: "Be careful, don't get contaminated with the soil of the tombs scattered on the corpses and the ground." However, the negative energy content in the current channel is very high, which may cause some damage to the body. ”

"Understood, thank you very much."

Epke turned around directly, pointed to the two men closest to him and ordered, "You, and you, go over and see if the leader of the nezumi named Lanny is dead." If he doesn't die, drag him over to me. ”

Although the two men obviously didn't want to go near the sewers in front of them at all, they didn't dare to disobey the orders given by the leader of the Thieves' Guild.

Only to step through the gap in the iron fence, lightly for fear of alarming those terrifying zombie rats.

After a few minutes, they finally found Lenny, who was unconscious but not yet breathing, in the pile of nezumi corpses.

Since this guy is wearing the emblem of Mara, the god of hunting, it has a deterrent effect on small undead creatures to a certain extent.

So he wasn't eaten alive by zombie rats like the other rat people.

In Ferron, the emblem was a symbol of the majesty and power of the deity.

Priests can not only pray and gain magic with the help of the emblem of the gods, but also use it to disperse or control the undead.

Although Lenny is not a priest, otherwise he would have used the ability of [Drinking Necromancy] in the face of the impact of zombie rats just now.

However, he is also a devout follower of Mara, the god of the hunt, so the emblem he wears may contain some special powers, or it may simply be a magical item in its own right.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Assassin Berthani pulled the emblem off the nezumi leader's neck.

And this rough movement obviously pulled at the wound, so that the latter couldn't help but let out a painful moan, and then slowly opened his eyes.

But before he could figure out the situation, a sharp scimitar was placed around his neck.

"We can talk about it now, what do you think?" Epke grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Uh...... I guess I can explain. Everything that happened just now was a misunderstanding......"

Realizing that his life was in the hands of the enemy, Lenny hurriedly raised his hands and at the same time lifted his beast state.

In the blink of an eye, he changed from a big fluffy mouse to a thirty-year-old adult man who was about 1.65 meters tall and slightly thin.

Much like the beastly figure, the creature is also blind in one eye and has a bitten notch in his ear.

"Misunderstanding?" A cruel smile appeared on Epke's fat face. "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's go back and explain it to me. Don't worry, I'll set aside the best torture room in the guild to entertain you. ”

After that, the bald fat man gave his subordinates a look.

Without saying a word, the Assassin Bossney raised his leg and kicked the nezumi leader in the temple.

The latter could not even utter a word of begging for mercy, and he rolled his eyes and fainted again.

The surrounding bodyguards and thugs tied it up with rope and stuffed it into a dirty sack with extreme skill.

You don't have to ask to know that what awaits Lenny will be inhumane torture and torture.

With the powerful healing effects of the various potions, magic items, and magic in the Faren Continent, I am afraid that it is a luxury to want to die happily.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zuo Si.

At the moment, he was indulging in the improvement of his physical attributes after absorbing life energy.

As more and more half-dead nezumi completely breathed, both agility and physique broke through the critical point, and each improved to a point on the original basis.

[Strength: 6+2(8)]

[Dexterity: 11+5(16)]

[Constitution: 8+5(13)]

[Perception: 12+2(14)]

[Intelligence: 16+3(19)]

[Charm: 11]

In addition, after the mage level is increased to LV2, the number of spell slots in the first ring has also been increased from 2 to 3.

If he is upgraded to another level, Zuo Si will be able to learn and memorize the more powerful second-ring magic.

But before that, he decided to fully grasp all the content and techniques of the book "On Casting Spells and Avoiding Materials".

As for the reason......

Just look at the strange materials needed to cast these spells, and the ease of stuffing them in your mouth and swallowing them, and you'll know why.

It's nothing like [Spider Walking] that you have to swallow a live spider alive!

It's a big deal to choose a small one, and as soon as you close your eyes and endure it, it's over.

Anyway, when it enters the stomach, it will be digested into protein.

But the problem is that some of the spell casting materials are really not acceptable to normal people.

Take the change magic that adds six basic attributes in the second ring spell as an example, it is simply the "old eight ecstasy".

Whether it's [Bear Perseverance], [Ox Strength], or [Fox Cunning], the corresponding casting material is the dung of the corresponding animal.

The most famous of the three rings, the Fireball Technique, also contains bat droppings.

Zuo Si would rather stay in the basement floor of the tower of the Floating City and dissect corpses every day, rather than bear to carry a bag of feces of various creatures around the market all day long, let alone taste the taste of these things.

Therefore, [Spell Casting and Exemption Materials] must be learned first no matter what.

Otherwise, he would 100% temporarily exclude some of his magic from his choice.

No matter how practical and amazing the effects of these magic are.

And it's also quite a hassle to find materials every time you cast a spell.

If you accidentally pass through town and forget to replenish it, there is a good chance that you will drop the chain at a critical moment.
