Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Adios's words made Curt even more confused, a little confused. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) And the name of Dawn Snow Peak sounds like a druid. So Curt decided to cut through the mess quickly and not get entangled with Adios. He made a pact with Adios that he would meet tomorrow in the Black Tower. Curt then retracted his attention and began to attend to important matters.
Since Eoham didn't ask, Curt laughed at Jason and Evra's belongings. There may not be any magic items that Eorham could look up to, but after witnessing Jason and Evra's duel, Curt is eager to get his hands on their magic book.
Adios didn't leave immediately, but followed with a curious expression. This made Curt a little unhappy, so he could only simply search for it first. He thought about it, and began to drag Adios to gossip, and slowly turned to the side. As he passed Gordon's vicinity, Curt put his hand behind his back and made a gesture. Gordon immediately walked away in a sensed manner, and together with Cameron, carried the bodies of Jason and Evra away.
Surprisingly, Adios is quite talkative and doesn't seem to have much to think about. He told SΓΉ Curt that although his father Li Ming Xuefeng was not famous, he was a real ** teacher. Unfortunately, Dawn Snow Peak was inattentive when he was young, and as a result, he was forced to marry a group of fierce wives. Now Liming Xuefeng is being squeezed by his wives every night, and he doesn't know how long he can live.
Adios is very good at playing up the atmosphere, so a story that is obviously very fragrant becomes extremely bleak in his mouth. If Liming Xuefeng heard it, I am afraid that he would not be able to help but beat his son severely.
"By the way, do you have any siblings?"
In addition to paying a silent tribute to the Dawn Snow Peak ** Master, Curt couldn't help but feel curious. Since Dawn Snow Peak can give birth to a half-dark elf son with the dark elves, then there may also be a half-blood descendant of them. Curt guesses that Dawn Snow Peak is an interracial fraternity, and as long as it is a beautiful woman, he will not refuse to come. Sure enough, Adios talked about it, and he said happily:
"Of course, my sister's name is Silkyta, and she's a half-lust. My brother's name is Amundra, and the name is said to be in honor of a great paladin, but unfortunately my family's Amondra is a half-demon...... I was skeptical that my father had a grudge against the paladin, so I gave my brother this name as a mockery. There is also a beautiful big sister who is a demigod and doesn't know the real god who wants to stick my dad upside down, and her head is really beautiful. But my mom strictly forbade my dad to be ** again, so that sister never seemed to be able to hook my dad. Alas, in fact, she can come** I can too......"
Adios chattered endlessly, and seemed to be very engaged. Curt listened to it with a big head, and he also admired the ** master of Dawn Snow Peak. In Curt's view, Dawn Snow Peak is the so-called winner in life. The beauties of all ethnic groups in the Dawn Snow Peak read the multiverse, and they are the standard ones who enjoy the blessings of all people. Of course, how credible Adios's words are is another matter.
Later, Curt excused himself to go home and say goodbye to Adios. He hurried back to the Black Tower as fast as he could, and began to count the loot. Jason and Evra's dimensional pockets alone contained mountains of magical items. There are hundreds of them, and it can take days to identify them.
Curt turned a blind eye to magical items and focused only on the two magic books he had picked out. The book records Jason and Evra's trump card spells, which are the most valuable things.
Due to the complexity of the methods used by Evra to summon demons and the need for a long time to operate, Curt was left aside. Relatively speaking, Jason's ultimate spell is relatively easy to understand. It's called Arcane Focus, and it's a very special spell.
Arcane Focus gathers nearby mana, compresses them, and shoots them out. So there's another spell to match, and that spell is called Wave of Mana. It can temporarily destroy the magic web, causing the magic power in the magic net to leak into the main material plane.
Surprisingly, Arcane Focus and Wave of Mana are both level five spells. They work in a simple and crude way, and the real difficulty lies elsewhere. - When the wave of mana greatly increases the density of the surrounding mana, the caster must have the ability to absorb and store the mana. This is equivalent to holding the monstrous waves in the palm of your own hands.
Using Reservoir Crystals is unrealistic, as Arcane Focus requires all of the mana to burst out in an instant. However, it takes time for the magic storage crystal to gradually release the magic power, so it does not meet the requirements at all. Jason's approach is to infuse his body with mana, using multiple high-level spell slots as reservoirs. Doing so is very harmful to oneself, and the slightest carelessness will shatter one's bones.
"You seem to be troubled, my friend. β
Just as Curt was thinking of a workaround, Naza teleported. It stretched out its tentacles to its own and took Jason's spellbook to read. Curt silently crossed his fingers and listened to Nazha say slowly:
"I know what you're thinking, you already have an idea, right? It's just that you don't want to take risks, so you can't make up your mind. β
"Yes, I'd like to hear what you think. Honestly, you've been learning more about magic lately, and you're more of a mage than I am. β
Curt looked at Naza and replied calmly. Then Nazaru smiled a horror like a spirit-sucking monster, and it shook its tentacles and said:
"It's just a fifth-level spell, and it won't take you long to learn. The problem is only how to store mana - we have a connection to the web, so it will be much easier to extract mana than a normal mage. So...... Have you ever heard of state change?"
"Huh?"
Curt frowned, feeling realised. Morphology is a psionic ability that can transform the Manifester into various forms. If you want to compare, it's probably about the same as Transfiguration. The difference is that a state change allows the manifester to become a specific species, and then continue to manifest his or her abilities. The caster temporarily loses the ability to cast spells after using Transfiguration, unless he chooses to transform into a humanoid species, such as an Elf.
Curt lowered his head, pondering the meaning of the words. He thought silently for a moment, then raised his head and said:
"Slimy monsters. β
"That's right. β
Nazha stroked his palms and smiled, very satisfied with Curt's comprehension ability. The slimy monster is the lowest-level monster, and is also called a jelly monster because it looks like a large piece of soft jelly. Normally, slimy monsters are of little use. They move slowly and have a monotonous means of attack. The prey must be wrapped in order to slowly melt the opponent away.
However, there are many variants of the Slimy Monster, one of which has extremely high magic resistance and is immune to almost all spells. If Curt can accumulate mana in the form of a slimy monster, then there is no need to worry about being eaten back.
"All that's left is to learn these two spells as soon as possible. β
Curt Mouth snapped open, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He pulled out a heavy, hard-sided copy, which was Jason's notes. Arcane Focus is so special that you can only learn part of it by looking at a magic book. The details were recorded in Jason's notes, and perhaps he had intended to teach his son, but now he had cheapened Curt for nothing.
After searching, Curt found the relevant passage. Jason had a secret page spell attached to it, but it didn't work for psionics. Curt lightly cracked the spell and began to read the content word by word. After a moment, he frowned. Naza, who was watching together on the side, nodded and said:
"There are pitfalls in these words, and if you follow them, you're going to die. It seems that Jason does not believe anyone, including himself. He alternates between Abyssal and Celestial languages, both of which have a lot of ambiguity. So there are at least seven different ways to explain this paragraph about radical spells. Just to be on the safe side, let's ask him personally. β
"Huh?"
Curt looked up in surprise, not understanding what Naza meant. He looked at the palms of the Psions spread out in front of him, and thought for a moment before finding the Soul Binding Stone that imprisoned Jason's soul. Naza retrieved the Soulbinder, then opened a psychic portal. It dragged Jason's body out of the door and said slowly:
"In the entire multiverse, I'm afraid we psionics know the brain best. We feed on our brains, and we use our brains to stimulate the power of the mind. In addition to this, a lot of other research has been done. If we really want to know something, we can get the answer to the other person's brain. Of course, the process is not elegant enough. If you don't like it, you can choose to avoid it for a while. β
Curt sat silently in his chair, without any intention of leaving. He always felt that he knew very little about Nazha, and he was naturally unwilling to let go of the opportunity to understand the other party. Nazha smiled like a ghostly smile, and then took out a strange set of instruments from his dimensional pocket. One of them looked like a metal ring with many pins on it, as well as some psionic circuits, and a large memory stone.
"It's a recording device that extracts information directly from the brain. β
Nazha calmly explained as she inserted the needle into Jason's head in clockwise order. The embalmed corpse still looked alive, and it had been given to Naza by Curt for a late-night supper. Nazha carefully inserted each needle into place, then placed the Soulbinding Gem on the corpse's forehead. It casually manifested its psionic energy, causing spiritual seals to spread around Jason's corpse. At the same time, Naza said as if teaching Curt:
"Ever heard of Soul Binding? it's the kind of spell that binds the souls of the dead and resurrects them into the undead. The best of these is the Soul Binding Corps, the trump card of the Dark Elves. My technique is not that subtle, but it is just right for interrogation. β
With that, Nazha snapped his fingers. The spirit seal on the ground immediately burst into light, and at the same time, Jason's corpse began to spasm.
