"Is this the Dark Gate......

Lance walked over quietly. Looking the object up and down. At this moment, it was wrapped in a thick black curtain, but it still exuded an inexplicable mysterious aura.

He gently stretched out his hand, and the curtain opened a corner.

The dark door reveals a side engraved with patterns, and the pitch-black background and exquisite carvings make people breathless.

A sharp demon's horn appeared on the edge of that corner.

"This dark door is a teleportation item to some of the lower planes of the abyss. It is said that behind the Dark Gate is a place of great wealth, where an ancient archdemon lord buried his life's riches, and even the most cunning demon could not find the whereabouts of these riches. ”

Lan explained in a low voice, "In the first place, my father was killed because he obtained this dark door. My mother and brothers and sisters were not spared...... Andulan that beast, after he killed my father, raped my mother, and didn't even spare my five-year-old sister......"

Lance sighed secretly in his heart, that old guy Andulan is really inferior to a beast. actually killed his brother with his own hands for a treasure.

"So, your father is supposed to be a wizard?" asked Lance softly.

Lan nodded and said, "My parents are both first-level wizards, and they have always regarded Andulan as the most trusted person. So after an expedition to the ruins, they got their hands on the treasure and shared it with Andulan...... But this crazy fellow. After using my parents to complete a part of the Dark Gate teleportation ciphertext, he couldn't stop his ambition and killed my father by sneak attack. ”

"Ciphertext cracking?" Lance's heart moved, and he simply pulled down the entire black curtain.

In an instant, the mysterious door was completely revealed in front of him. With a dark black border and delicate glyphs, the image of a big demon with long horns leaps onto the page. He has three pairs of eyes, the first pair of scarlet, the second pair of dark blue, and the third pair of pitch black. His chest was open, revealing the three hearts that were beating inside.

"This is the Great Demon Tinsley. Arashi explained softly:

"He is also the legendary owner of this wealth, a demon lord of the Abyss. The Dark Gate is a powerful teleportation item. But it is also a one-time consumable. A teleportation rune that wants to inspire the Dark Gate. The runes on the Dark Gate must be deciphered. These are all abyssal languages, and my parents have some knowledge of abyssal languages, but Andulan knows nothing. ”

"But Andulan was too anxious to finish deciphering the Dark Gate. And he was poisoned. I was the only one in our family who escaped. A man fled to the Storm Country in the West. At that time. My parents were freelance wizards who lived in the northwestern forests of the Black Savours, and rarely interacted with people. Andulan too, presumably after the death of our parents. He found it difficult to continue deciphering the ciphertext with his knowledge, so he began to go out of the forest, communicate with the wizards of the Black Fields, and establish the Black Gate Society. ”

"But Abyssal is such a rare language, where is it so easy to learn?Even those wizards of the Silver Light may not know much about Abyssal Language, and it is very difficult to get started. In the knowledge sold by the Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce, the meaning of each abyssal byte is marked at 100 magic stones! It's a pity that after so many years, he still hasn't been able to decipher this ciphertext. ”

Listening to Arashi's somewhat sad narration, Lance's face became a little strange.

"It's all abyssal language...... But you say, in a place like the Black Lands, the abyssal language is really scarce to that extent?" he couldn't believe it.

Arashi looked at Lance a little strangely, but still replied in the affirmative, "I'm not exaggerating, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone from the Silver Star Alliance." ”

Lance almost didn't burst out laughing.

Abyssal language?He's a master, right?

Most of the books Amman left him were basic language books. In the initial process of laying the foundation, he learned a variety of languages. First it was Gulen, then it was Abyss.

At first, he thought it was a compulsory course for wizards to get started, and he couldn't cope without the help of the fox. So at the time, he was still amazed at how other wizards did it.

It wasn't until he entered Ferendor that he began to realize that not every wizard would receive such a variety of advanced language training when they got started!

Most wizards only use lingua franca and advanced witchcraft terminology (necessary for spell casting) and the more popular Qulen, and few of the other languages are mastered. There are very few wizards like Lance who know a little about all fourteen or five languages.

It was only at that time that he felt Amman's good intentions, and although the two had not been together for a long time, the enlightenment teacher in his life cared for him. So even after joining the Crimson Castle, Lance did not forget to study the language books left behind in Amman and enrich his skills.

Until today, his Abyssal Language had been cultivated to the master level! A slightly simpler ciphertext that he could decipher at a glance.

In Arashi's astonished gaze, Lance squinted at the runes on the Dark Gate, then took a piece of white manuscript paper from the table and waved down the first phrase.

He just stood there, with a quill in his hand, and began to write in the dim candlelight.

Just half an hour later, the original white manuscript paper was already full of dense words, but it was written in the lingua franca.

Arashi stood beside him, watching the scene incredulously. Her chest continued to rise and fall, and when she saw Lance scratch the last byte, she couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice:

"Young master, what you wrote is ......"

"The ciphertext on the Dark Door. Lance replied.

Lan suddenly smiled bitterly, and the feelings in her heart became extremely complicated. It's because of what's behind this door. Andulan had killed his parents, and because of the runes on the door, Andulan had spent years still not succeeding in deciphering them. Originally, with Andulan's qualifications, it was also very possible to become a second-level wizard, but because of the temptation of the Dark Gate, he was distracted and delayed his cultivation, so that he ended up with such a tragic end.

And these ciphertexts that have plagued Andulan for countless days and nights have been deciphered by Lance's hand, and the contrast is too strong.

"You know a lot about the Abyssal language?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Lance re-wrapped the Dark Door in a thick veil. Then clip it under the armpit. He swept all the papers on the table into the Arcane Ring.

"I am a master of the Abyssal Language. Don't look so surprised. There is a famous saying in our hometown: knowledge is power, and I think it is very true. ”

"We've been here long enough, now that we've got the Dark Gate, let's get out of here. ”

Between words. A master and a servant quickly left the core area of Apple Manor.

......

Next. The news that the Black Gate would be wiped out by a mysterious wizard immediately spread throughout the Silver Light. Even in the City of Decay, some well-informed wizards have received similar information. All of a sudden, the wizards who lived near the Silver Light were in danger. The official spokesperson for the Silver Light immediately stepped forward. Indicates that the patrol force in the area near the Silver Light will be strengthened......

And these things have nothing to do with Lance anymore. He had taken the Silver Book of Laughlan in his arms early in the morning, and used his contribution points to redeem the two witchcraft scrolls on the Craftsman Wizard's Wizard's Tower, and then left the place.

In the afternoon, under Hayward's introduction, Lance purchased a property that originally belonged to the Silver Star Alliance.

It was a wizard's manor, located near the City of Decay, an hour's walk and a twenty-minute horse-drawn carriage.

This property called [Black Rose Manor] covers an area of sixty acres, which is naturally countless times smaller than the aristocratic manors of the European Middle Ages in Lance's previous life, but the Black Rose Manor is for wizards and does not need too much land for planting, so sixty acres is also big enough for Lance.

The Black Rose Estate consists of a pine forest, a small river that crosses the estate, and a lake that spans about seven acres. The manor house is built on the north side of the lake, with a small pier at the door, and some fish raised by the previous owner in the lake, and you can also relax by fishing in your spare time.

The house is a four-storey duplex building, which is not much different from ordinary villas, with a beautiful appearance and pleasant scenery nearby.

In addition to this, the estate has a large meadow, a potions plantation, which was also created by the previous owner, a garden of black roses, an astrological platform, a horse farm, two waterwheels and a windmill, a wind mill, and an alchemy workshop.

When the previous owner lived in the manor, there were still many mortals in the manor's service for him, and now he has left the place and sold the house to the Silver Star Alliance, and those mortals have also found their own way to survive, leaving only an empty manor.

The price of the wizard's manor near the city of decay was far cheaper than that of Ferendor, and coupled with his status in the Silver Star Alliance, he only needed a thousand magic stones to take it. Lance was very satisfied with such a price, anyway, he had no shortage of magic stones on hand, and these magic stones were all snatched from the Black Gate Society last night, and he didn't feel distressed to spend them.

The handover was quickly completed, and the master and servant lived in this gorgeous manor.

It's just that with such a large manor, it is impossible for Lance to take care of things, and it is undoubtedly a bit difficult to let Lan manage it alone.

So he gave the little maid some magic stones, and asked her to buy some slaves from the city of decay or hire some mortals to work for the manor. After all, the rose garden needs to be pruned, the fish in the lake need to be fed, and the wind mill can be used to grind wheat to provide raw materials for the bakery. As long as there are enough people, the entire estate can be completely self-sufficient.

Especially at the Potions Plantation, Lancet instructed Arashi to make sure she found two people who were good at handling potions. Preferably a junior apprentice, it doesn't matter if the asking price is a little higher. After all, Lance has bought a lot of potions on hand, and although he can keep them fresh in the potion bag, some of the potions will still be lost. If it is transplanted into the Potions Garden, this will not happen, and if it is cooked well, Lance will be able to harvest more potions.

He picked among the Arcane Rings. He took out a batch of potions that were not very valuable and handed them to Arashi.

......

After leaving all the affairs of the manor to the little maid to take full control, Lance spent the day resting and recuperating. Then he immediately threw himself into a frenzied study and cultivation.

For the next five months, Lance was not ready to leave the Black Rose Manor, he was going to spend some time here to consolidate his current realm and digest his recently acquired wealth.

The most important thing, of course, is to learn that batch of second-level witchcraft.

After some selection and consideration, Lance decided on the order in which the spells should be studied. He devoted himself to the analysis and memory of the runes. As for the dark door. He put it aside for the time being, and was in no hurry to open it. God knows what terrifying monsters are in the abyss behind this door. He had plenty of money now, and there was no need to take such a risk.

It took more than three months. Lance spent most of his time learning spells. Even the refining of the Bow of Hiltins was delayed for a while.

Three months later. He completed the first stage of the plan. Successfully mastered a large number of second-level witchcraft. At this point, his second-level witchcraft was suddenly much richer.

In the fox's character card, under the character of Lance. Displays the following secondary sorcery:

Multiple Molten Rays, Alteran Lightning Chain, Cutting, Thunder Spear, Hand of Vulcan, Bileg Force Field Swamp, Bileg Lightning Star, Bileg Magnetic Storm, Burst Fireball, Paper Man Double, Great Mist, Sorcery Super, Roaring Spell Flow (Talent), Crystal Mist

The variety of second-level witchcraft directly doubled Lance's strength. Compared to three months ago, he was able to use more second-level witchcraft, and he had a lot more choices when fighting.

And among these sorcery, the only defensive spell is the [Crystal Mist]. This spell was also the only spell that didn't conform to the mainstream of Lance Magnetic Storm Mage's advanced direction, but the main reason why he chose it for cultivation was to turn it into his own solidified spell. After being promoted to a Level 2 Wizard, each person will have a slot for a solidified spell. Activate the solidification spell, which only requires a thought, no need to cast spells and chant.

Most wizards will choose a powerful defensive spell as their protective hole card and solidify it on their bodies, and Lance is no exception.

This spell, called Crystal Mist, is the best even among the second-level protection spells. Another reason why Lance chose it as his solidified spell was that it was the only spell in the batch with a rune level of [Refinement], and the rest were all standard.

In terms of defensive characteristics, the Crystal Mist has a 360-degree all-round defensive range with no dead ends. When Lance is attacked, layers of crystals form on the surface of his skin to defend against him. This crystal is not an ordinary color, but a crystallization of magical power, possessing the ability to soften and harden, and is completely controlled by Lance's mind.

What's even more amazing is that the effect of this spell is not fixed, but growable.

"The current crystal mist is only at the level of the first level. If you continue to devour and decompose a large number of high-quality crystals with the small spells attached to this spell, you will be able to increase the level of the Crystal Mist, and along with this process, its defense power will also be greatly increased. ”

Lance tried to use the White Crystal to increase the Crystal Mist's defenses, and after a few days, it worked. After disintegrating and devouring twenty white crystals, the defense of the crystal mist increased by about twenty percent, which made him overjoyed and completely decided to position this spell as his own solidified spell.

After another week, he successfully completed the curing of the spell, and also added another layer of insurance to his life.

At this point, the first stage of Lance's previous plan for cultivation had been completely completed. However, he did not rush to the next part, because at this time, the task he had previously given to the fox had been completed.

......

"The spell strength evaluation program has been established, is it enabled?" the voice of the main chip sounded in Lance's heart after a long absence.

He breathed a sigh of relief, he had wanted to establish this program for a long time, but there were too many numbers and parameters involved, even if it was a fox, it was not easy to establish.

After spending a lot of time and building up enough jù libraries, this subroutine finally came in handy. It's like a character strength evaluation program.,It's a subprogram under the fox control.,It's ready to run.。

"Enable! Scan the character card [Lance] to evaluate the strength of the spells under the name of the character card. ”

"The command has been received. Start scanning. ”

"The scan is complete, and the evaluation process is officially launched......

After a while, rows of pale green numbers swayed down and fell into Lance's eyes.

The spell strength of each spell he mastered was quantified and placed on the table simply and clearly.

Lance immediately began to examine the strength of each spell.

The term spell strength is generally only used at the edge of second-level wizards. For low-level wizards, they can only vaguely feel that some witchcraft is powerful and practical, while some witchcraft is a bit chicken and has a very narrow use.

When it comes to the second-level wizard stage, wizards often use the strength of a spell to evaluate the "quality" of a spell when communicating.

But in Lance's view, this assessment is still a little rough and imprecise, hence the current scene.

All spells are marked with numbers, and the number is completed.

Offensive spells, with ATK as the unit, take destructive power, cast time, concealment, and mana consumption as the main parameters, and weighted them with different weights to finally get a number, while defensive spells, in DFE units, the reference number jù corresponds to offensive spells, while auxiliary spells pay more attention to practicality and special effects.

【Scorching Ray】Ability Power: 5ATK

Molten Ray Ability Power: 25ATK

Multiple Molten Rays: 75ATK (To be continued......)
