By the large pool of water in the Secret Valley, Xiui stood with his eyes closed.

"Listen to my call, O water spirit, and use your majesty to show your proud power, the summoning of the water demon. ”

With the incantation in Xiuyi's mouth, the fluctuations of the water element in the air were like ripples in the water, floating and condensing invisibly, and a huge water demon image next to the pool gradually appeared and took shape.

In addition to having the most branching trees and defending against multi-system spells, water spells also have a significant feature of having more summoning spells.

At this moment, Xiu Yi is summoning the water demon in the third-level spell of the water system.

Brian Buckler put back on his red cape, carried a large sword, and was standing by watching Huey use spells.

His brow furrowed.

After thinking about it, he said to Huey, "How long can it last?"

"It's short. Huey replied. With a wave of his hand, the water demon turned into a splash in the sky and dispersed. "I've never been exposed to water spells before, and although I have the power of Bogle, all spells must be learned from a low level. Level 3 spells are the upper limit of the water spells I can currently use. ”

"And so it was. Buckler touched his chin and whispered, "Huey, do you think you're learning too much?"

"Yes. Huey replied earnestly, "That's what I'm struggling with right now, and Lilith recommended you to me." She thinks that even though you are not a magician, you can be of great help to me. I need some good advice on how to show myself. ”

"I thought you had always been an assertive person. ”

Xiu Yi smiled wryly: "All opinions often come from the fact that we don't have too many choices. The more power we have to choose things, the more our eyes will become, the more confused and often we will feel at a loss. At this time, it is good for yourself to listen to the opinions of others. ”

"Good. Brian Buckler laughed, "Then Xiui, you now have five abilities: wind, soul, space, undead, and water. In the days to come, you may be able to deprive yourself of fire, nature, and other magical abilities. But you can't practice so many spells at the same time, and the abilities you deprive can only allow you to have enough magical power, but not allow you to truly wield their power. If you continue like this, maybe you'll become a high-magic imbecile mage who can do all kinds of spells, but doesn't really have a good hand. ”

"That's what I'm worried about. Huey sighed too.

His biggest problem now is that after inheriting and depriving Abrat and Leaburger of their powers, the energy of the space and water spells in his body has greatly increased. His mana shunt is the thickest of the two and the most powerful spells he can cast, but he lacks the foundation to use them.

On the other hand, his wind and soul system foundations are much more solid, but the magic guide restricts him from using advanced spells for the time being, and he still has to break through the original obstacles step by step to improve himself.

This made him have a contradictory choice about which aspect of his ability to improve first, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Xiuyi, no one in this world has ever had such good luck as you, allowing yourself to have the ability to divert magic from the same source. Now that he needs Buckler's guidance, it is impossible for Huey to hide this secret, and as time passes, the relationship between Huey and the Black Locust gang deepens. If it used to be a relationship of mutual use, now there is finally some irrational element between them. Such irrational factors often play a more decisive role than interests.

Buckler continued: "But no matter how good your luck is, you need to be able to control it yourself. The biggest advantage of the diversion of mana is that you can practice multiple spells at the same time without worrying about the problem of mana backlash, but from the perspective of using magic and strengthening yourself, this kind of luck actually doesn't have much effect. On the contrary, it even misleads you and leads you on the path of miscellaneous and unrefined magical cultivation. This is a big taboo. ”

"You're right. "Huey already has a deep understanding of this. It was precisely because of his current unique magical power structure that he could learn one spell after another without any scruples, he thought it was a matter of wielding his talent, but as a result, he gradually deviated from the correct path of cultivation. It's like the story of waiting for the rabbit, because of the small gain that leads to a misdirection in behavior, and thus loses more.

The path of self-exploration and cultivation will inevitably lead to detours while forming his own characteristics, and even the most intelligent genius will inevitably have this situation. Fortunately, Huey himself realized this.

"So Brian, what do you think I'm going to do next? I know I should focus on one spell and a second spell, but now I have so many options that I don't know how to do it. ”

"What is your talent?" Buckler asked.

"Wind system, but my soul talent has also improved. ”

"Then the main attack is the wind system, and the secondary attack is the soul system. Buckler said categorically.

"But my water magic conduit has reached level five, and I believe that if I am given enough time, I can master all the water spells. There is no doubt that this is much faster than concentrating on cultivating the degree of wind system upgrade. ”

"But your exhibition in water system capabilities will also stay on the basis of level five. Buckler patted Xiu Yi on the shoulder and said, "Xiu Yi, I know that you are eager to become strong quickly, but the strength of the Lance Empire is not something that you can easily deal with after mastering more advanced spells. What you can really compete with this country is your mind, not your personal fighting power. So there's no need for you to be in a hurry to improve yourself in a short period of time. You are still young, and there is no need to block the path of future strength for the sake of temporary pleasure. ”

Xiu Yi was silent for a while, he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You're right, Brian, it's just that I have three memory gems in my hand now, all of which can only record water-based spells, and I don't want to waste them." You know that the human heart is always greedy, and we are always eager to use every resource we have at our disposal, rather than leaving it idle. ”

"I don't think you need to worry about this. You can completely cooperate with the memory gem in your hand to master the water spells. ”

Xiu Yileng: "You mean ......"

"I remember that there was a second-level spell in the bloodline spell called Bloodlight Escape, which was a very practical combat spell. It can perform a short space conversion with very little mana, just like your Void Slash. The reason why it is only level 2 is because this magic takes too long to cast and is not practical in battle, but with memory gems, it can make up for this shortcoming. Leeuburger is an idiot, and in fact the vast majority of mages are fools in battle. They always like to use different spells against their enemies and rarely use the same spell repeatedly. For samurai, it is normal for simple and easy repetitive moves to be used frequently in battle. If you can get out of the narrow, one-sided mindset of mages in combat, you will realize that you can solve this problem very easily. Buckler winked at Huey, "No one stipulates that memory gems must record different spells each time, right?"

"Hell. Xiu Yi exclaimed excitedly: "How did I not think of this. You're right, in the battle with Borgle, it was the Bloodlight Escape

The guy dodged one of my effective attacks. But neither I nor Bogle realized the usefulness of this spell! it was only a second-level spell, and it didn't take me much time to master it. ”

"That's right. You don't need to put too much effort into water-based spells. Now that you have three Memory Gems, it's enough to keep them down if you have a few practical spells in mind. Samurai combat never requires fancy, and so does magic. Buckler said with a smile.

"That's true. Huey said gratefully.

"More than that, Huey replied to me, what do you think is your most powerful combat ability at the moment?" Buckler asked suddenly.

Xiu Yi paused for a moment, then shook his head: "There is no most powerful, maybe there will be later." ”

"Nope. Buckler affirmed, "You have, but you ignored it." Don't forget that you are an alchemist, this is your job, your most powerful ability. Think back to what you really relied on in all the battles you've been through. Without your alchemy, do you think you would be able to kill Abrite, kill the demon rats, and kill characters like Leeburger with just those pets of yours and your low-level spells and fighting abilities?

Xiu Yi looked at Buckler in a daze, and the other party's expression was very serious.

At that moment, his mind was filled with countless scenes of his own battles.

In the Lanya Grand Theater, he used the magic circle to cooperate with himself to kill Abrite, and without the imprisoned magic circle of spatial energy created by Electra, he would have died under Abrite's energy storm.

Outside the valley, when the demon rat lurked underground, it was alchemy that forced the cunning creature out and made it unable to use earth-based spells, sealing off half of its spell powers.

And in Royo City, it was also alchemy, which made Bogle be teleported to the valley by himself, forming a one-on-one situation, and it was also the vajra puppet and the undead demon rat created by alchemy, which gave him strong combat strength.

Alchemy, this is his strongest strength.

His true profession is an alchemist, not a magician. And he apparently forgot about that.

"But alchemy is not suitable for unprepared combat. ”

"Then you're going to change that!"

Changing this situation? Xiu Yi's heart was shocked.

Yes, who said that alchemy can only be used when prepared? Why can't it be changed? He reckon Iglaire is not the best at doing what others can't? What makes you stuck to traditional thinking?

Damn!, Hue cursed to himself.

Devoted to the confrontation with the Empire, he neglected many things.

Buckler continued: "Huey, do you understand now? Your alchemy is where you are most powerful. But you didn't combine your fighting abilities with your alchemy. You just use them the same. In the past, no alchemist was proficient in magic, so no one tried to combine magic with alchemists. But you tell me that Electra is a magician, so he succeeds and becomes the greatest alchemist in the world. Now that you're a magician, why can't you do everything that Electra did......?

"So my magic cultivation should serve my alchemy, exhibiting my own combat characteristics. Hue blurted out.

Buckler laughed, "You've finally seen yourself, haven't you? Yes Huey, put your magical abilities to work for your alchemy, that's the best option for you, like Electra." ”

"Yes, like Electra. Xiui muttered in reply.

At that moment, he suddenly realized something in his heart.

Buckler's reminder allowed Xiu Yi to finally establish his own direction in magic cultivation.

All along, his alchemy abilities have been in the service of magical cultivation. He cultivated soul magic by creating flesh and blood golems, and absorbed spatial magic energy through energy imprisoning circles, but he never thought about how to apply magic to alchemy.

Electra never revealed this secret, so he couldn't do it.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind.

He remembered what the puppet assistant had said about him: Electra was the kind of genius who used all his wisdom to open unknown products, and he was a genius who did everything in his power to improve the capabilities of known products.

The reason why he couldn't comprehend Electra's accomplishments was because he wasn't the same kind of person as the legendary Great Alchemist himself. Although they have the same endowment, due to their different personalities and interests, they are destined to take different exhibition routes.

Since it is impossible to understand how Electra uses magic to open up new alchemy, it is simply not to understand and study, but to directly focus on the ability of known alchemy products. Since Electra could use magic to help her understand hundreds of alchemy products, Xiu Yi directly gave the alchemy products more abilities to maximize their value.

And the best way to do that is - auxiliary magic.

When he figured this out, he immediately had a new understanding of what he had to do. Xiu Yi no longer focuses on the rapid improvement of his own abilities, and cultivates multiple spells at the same time. He began to focus on his innate and auxiliary magic.

In an era of abundant resources, making alchemical products in large quantities was undoubtedly the most appropriate course of action.

In an era of scarce resources, it is more in line with the needs of the times to do everything possible to increase the use value of a certain alchemical product.

If the former alchemy puppets appeared in the form of legions to conquer the Big 6, relying on their unified command and absolute obedience, then the puppets and other alchemy products in Xiuyi's hands will reinterpret the meaning of the alchemist's existence and shock the world with a new look.

He finally truly embarked on the alchemical path of the former Electra - using magic to facilitate alchemy.

Three days later.

In the secret valley of Electra.

Xiu Yi stood solemnly.

Behind him, the five Vajra Golems, which had been fully restored, stood silently.

"Listen to me, O unrestrained wind spirit, and give me the ability to harness the windβ€”the Wind Spirit Protector!"

The winds stirred up the mist, and the wind whistled bitterly. Tiny bright spots appeared in the air, scattered like starlight and mist, enveloping Xiui and the puppets behind him.

Countless starlight dust spots fell on the Vajra puppet's body, and the points of light connected to each other, forming a blurry mist of light around their bodies.

"Fourth form, Crash Thorn. Xiu Yi surged in the air with a magical password, and the five Vajra puppets transformed at the same time, and dense hideous spikes grew all over their bodies.

"Wind Spirit, all impact!"

All the Vajra puppets rushed towards a mountain-like boulder in the distance at the same time, rushing like a tiger and like lightning.

With the blessing of the Wind Spirit, their degree is more difficult to resist than before.

"Wind strengthened!" said Huey's voice again.

The mist of light that shrouded the Vajra puppet formed a vague shroud of light in an instant.

"Bang!" the boulder was smashed into dust by the powerful impact.

The five Vajra puppets walked out of the diffuse dust and smoke, and the steel thorns were hideous, but there was no damage in the slightest.

"Good. In the distance, Buckler strode over: "Is this the effect of the Wind Spirit Xiang and the Wind Strengthening? ”

"The ability I just mastered, I am not very proficient in using it. Xiu Yi said lightly.

With Buckler's awakening, Xiu Yi is fully engaged in the cultivation of wind and auxiliary magic. The advancement of low-level spells itself is easier than that of high-level, Xiu Yi has been a second-level wind mage for a while, and now that he has enough magic to support him, the foundation for all aspects of the promotion has been laid, so it only took three days to break through the second-level advancement of the wind system and become a third-level wind mage.

After breaking through, the first thing Xiu Yi did was immediately strive to master the third-level wind system support spell.

There is only one type of third-level wind auxiliary spell, which is the wind spirit protector.

By attaching a large amount of Wind Elemental to the recipient body, multiple effects can be achieved according to the command, including Wind Spirit Soaring and Wind Enhancement.

Wind Spirit Xiang, a third-level wind spell, the advanced ability of Wind Xiang, makes the recipient have a lighter body and lightning-like degree.

Wind Enhancement inflicts the power of the Wind Shield on the recipient's exterior to reduce damage.

The biggest feature of wind support spells is that they have a wide range of spells, mainly to buff one's own body, and are especially good at improving physical movement and attack ability. As such, wind mages are often the most popular support mages for samurai, and Xiui uses this ability for his puppets.

"If you don't consider the existence of the undead demon rat and the troll god, your Vajra puppet may already be the most powerful puppet in the world. Buckler said seriously, "Each of them is equivalent to at least a fifth-level warrior. When combined, the power is even more powerful and terrifying. ”

"They can get stronger. Huey replied, "From Electra's notes, I learned a magic circle called the memory circle. This kind of circle can record the magical abilities of some human mages and bestow them on the puppets. Unfortunately, this kind of circle can only record the alchemist's own spells. For the vast majority of alchemists, this kind of magic circle does not make much sense, after all, alchemists' magic abilities are limited, and most of their cultivation is attack spells, and it is even more useless for those puppets who cannot use magic. But for me, none of these difficulties are difficulties. I can greatly improve their combat capabilities with this method. ”

As he spoke, Xiu Yi waved his hand, and the undead demon rat appeared in front of Xiu Yi's eyes.

Taking out the soul orb and placing it on the demon rat, Xiu Yi said: "As for it, it already has the highest level of undead demon rat, and what it needs is no longer the lightness of the wind, but the fury of thunder. ”

"Thunder in all directions!" Xiu Yi suddenly roared up to the sky.

With one hand in the air, a thunderbolt of lightning flashed in the clear blue sky, like a leaping fire spirit snake, crackling and dancing, from the sky to Xiuyi's palm.

"P.S.!" Xiu Yi grabbed the electric light casually, and shone it on the metal skeleton of the undead demon rat, an aurora electric current swam across the demon mouse's body, and the weird blue bones carved out a brilliant light at this moment, and countless thunderbolts stimulated like a polar bright light, and the stimulated person couldn't open his eyes.

"Magnetic!" the demon rat's body hissed like metal intertwined.

Thunder of the Four Directions, one of the auxiliary spells of the water thunder branch, makes the recipient have strong thunder and lightning all over the body, increases the power of violent attacks, and automatically gives the opponent the power of thunder and lightning counterattack when receiving the opponent's attack.

Looking at the strange changes of this demon rat, Brian Buckler's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Brian, would you like to fight my puppet? I've put a lot of effort into transforming it so that it can withstand the blessings of the thunder of the four directions. Now, I believe that even if I don't borrow my Void Slash, I can defeat Cahill in the first place. I'm curious to know if you, who are also a rank 7 samurai, can defeat my demon rat. ”

"Then let's try it!" Buckler roared, drawing his sword behind him and slashing at the rat......

A big war is over.

Buckler sat down powerlessly on the ground.

His body was covered in scars, from the claws of the undead rats, as well as the burning wounds caused by the thunder of the four directions.

While drinking the healing potion, Buckler shook his head and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that the furious power of the Thunder of the Four Directions would be even more effective against demon rats than on humans. ”

"Anyway, it still hasn't been able to beat you. Not far away, the undead demon rat, which had been almost shattered by Buckler's sword, lay on the ground, being repaired by Xiuyi.

"But that's because your spell power isn't enough. When you're more powerful and have more and better support spells, maybe your puppet will soon be able to defeat more powerful samurai. Buckler replied earnestly.

"That's for sure. "Huey is confident.

Looking at Huey's confident expression, a chill suddenly rose in Buckler's heart.

His momentary proposal brought a new breakthrough to Xiuyi. With his current skills, resources, and talent and ingenuity, in the near future, Huyglaire is bound to have an army of terrifying puppets.

Before this, there had never been a puppet that could match a samurai of level 5 or above, and no puppet could win a level 4 samurai in a one-on-one duel.

And now, Huey has the puppets, and every single one of them is incomparably powerful. A Vajra puppet can already easily defeat a fifth-level warrior, and an undead demon rat can compete with a seventh-level peak warrior.

When Xiu Yi has a sufficient number of powerful puppets, even the Sanctuary will be defeated in front of them.

What he inadvertently opened was Pandora's box, and the owner of the box was frantically retaliating against the Empire.

At that moment, Buckler was a little unthinkable.

He didn't dare to imagine what Xiu Yi would bring to the world in the days to come.

But there was one thing he had seen.

At that moment, he muttered:

"Huy Glare, you are making the human warriors retire from the stage of history. Buckler sighed.

"That's from your guidance. Huey bowed deeply to Buckler, this time, he was genuinely thanking the bandit leader from Robinia Town. It is his words that can make a qualitative leap in his strength in a short period of time. "Then I need you to continue to help me on the other hand. ”
