"You can be called a ** teacher now, at least outside of your perverted country. Helast's expression was a little lost: "According to the timeline of the main material realm, you are not yet twenty years old. ”

He spent countless hours and paid a huge price in order to obtain the power of the arcane.

"It's not enough. The wizard raised his hand, now this hand has a vast and astonishing power, among the nearly ten thousand spellcasters in the realm, there are very few Morning Stars who can go this far, but it is still not enough: "It's just a little bit, and it hasn't broken through the outer perimeter of the source yet." ”

"Origin Waiwai?" Helast glanced up and down the wizard with jealous eyes, "Where is it so easy to break through?"

"So the Time Dragon didn't give me more time, because it was useless to give. Penny shook his head, remembering his practice in the Dragon Ruins of Time.

His methodology has reached a limit, at least until he further explores the world in front of him, and has basically lost room for upgrading.

Although any wizard's methodology has natural blind spots, not being able to perfect it on its own is a sign of reaching its limit - because no wizard can expose the methodology in order to make up for these blind spots.

He was already proficient in the arcane power of the Eighth Ring, but he still felt weak in the face of the extreme power of the outer layer of the source, and it seemed that more than a perfect methodology was needed to touch that level of power.

"Just a little bit?" Helast looked at the wizard with a sigh of voice, and shook his head repeatedly, "You're too anxious too." ”

"Of course I'm anxious, I've offended the Dragon Witch Cult. The wizard's eyebrows furrowed: "But he is only one of my long list of opponents. ”

Although the arcanists who can master the spells of the Eight Rings will be respectfully called 'master' in most areas of Faerun, except for places where the arcane masters are not valuable, except for Ser, who is not valuable, Penny himself is not satisfied.

Although this is already the high-end power of the arcane, but his enemies, whether it is Samastor or Lauzorel or Neveron, have the power of the top of the arcane in the realm of the arcanist, and there are countless junior minions under him, with only his current strength, Penny can barely protect himself by arranging in Simon, but it is still very dangerous.

Aware of this, the wizard persuaded Sheckel and Lannie not to leave the Mage Tower when they didn't have to, and despite the criticism of this request, Sheckel accepted through his explanation—she knew how dangerous the wizard's situation was.

As far away as Vika, who is far away in Simon, the wizard has a complex set of magical devices to maintain contact with her, and as soon as she is in a disadvantageous situation, Penny can immediately take action.

While legendary mages can't guarantee that their friends and relatives will not be invaded by ill-intentioned individuals, wizards know that if they can get their revenge as soon as possible, return to Serre, and take down all enemies, most of these threats will disappear.

This requires him to have more strength.

The difference between 'self-preservation' and 'counter-offensive' is huge.

"Break through the ...... of the source of the outer perimeter" Helast looked at Penny, began to groan, and suddenly shook his head: "It's still a little late, oh, but it's okay. ”

"Late?" the wizard asked.

"No one taught you this, and I didn't expect you to get that much time from that place. Hylaster shrugged, "You need a spell." ”

"Spells?" Penny's expression was even more puzzled.

Hylaste turned around and considered her words slightly, "Uh...... You know, we arcane spellcasters display supernatural powers, using the source power in the source sea, although we control them themselves is the mind, but in general, in the process of talking to the source sea, we need to be rigorous and careful thinking, so some things that do not conform to the rules of the source sea are forbidden, just like Mystra closed the center of the source sea, and the power we can use is limited. ”

"I know that very well. Penny nodded, it is said that the Goddess of Magic had deliberately suppressed the arcane of the realm to a lower level after the calamity of Resistant, but the source sea itself prevented her from doing so - to suppress the output of the source sea to a lower level, a higher level of authority was required - Mystra obviously did not have this, otherwise the current general arcane would not be the highest but five rings and six rings.

"If we want to break through the outer perimeter of the source, we have to find a way to use what we have at hand to break through these limitations, for a simple example, can you create the source power?"

"Manufacturing...... Source power?" the wizard frowned deeply and shook his head: "This is something that only the source sea can create, a wizard creates source power? ”

Wizards show supernatural power through the source power in the source sea, but they can't break through the limitations of the source sea, they study the surname of the source sea, just like doctors and musicians focus on studying their own skills, how much they get, how much they have to give, although it is essentially an idealistic power, but in the process of research, the arcane is rigorous and materialistic - everything that does not conform to the rules of the source sea is forbidden, and what the wizard can really master is only his own thoughts.

The task of creating the source force is obviously not for a wizard to do, and the spell summoning can create some temporary items that can only exist for a short time - this is of course done by indulging the source force, but to create the source force itself, for a wizard, it is really out of nowhere.

However, Helast's words opened a corner of the blurred curtain for Penny, and did what the source sea forbidden, which was not to break through the restrictions of the source sea.

"So if we change our thinking, if we don't change our thinking, all wizards will be trapped under the limitations of Mystra's design, and as a qualified wizard, even if we can't do it in this crystal wall system, we will have to go to other crystal wall systems to pursue higher arcane power. Hylaste yawned, "That's why that bitch didn't dare to completely block the path to break through the boundaries before we could cast legendary spells...... Well, although the power of legendary spells is also very limited in the current Faeron, it is still much stronger than nothing. ”

"Tell me about that spell. Penny is still more concerned about this issue.

"It's not complicated, as long as you can do something that is not allowed by the rules of the source sea through a spell, then of course you have broken through the boundary, you already know it. Hylaste spread his palms: "Transcendence is based on breakthroughs, if you can't even do this, don't talk about any legendary spells." ”

"Nothing more detailed?" the wizard asked.

"Of course, but you need to make sure that your methodology includes this thing, if your methodology can't make such a breakthrough, your arcane journey will end here, and although you are still young and can wash it off and start over, your enemies may not be waiting for you. Hylast shrugged and turned around.

The wizard's heart 'groaned', and Helast's words made him nervous all of a sudden, and he had to say that this was what he was afraid of.

If you accidentally block the way in the methodology, then it is obvious that no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to reach that realm.

"So it's not good if the methodology is too rigorous, and it's too much in line with the rules of the multiverse. Helast smiled weirdly: "I've seen some stupid birds, in order to make their methodology as flawless as possible, and fit the rules of the source sea tightly...... Hmm, you haven't broken through the boundaries of the Source Sea in your last life, and you haven't even touched the real periphery of the Source Sea, you won't be such a stupid bird, right?"

The wizard calmed down, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, he quickly shook his head and denied the possibility that there was a problem with the methodology, although he knew very well that he had consumed a lot of time in order to be as rigorous as possible in the methodology, but because of the many cognitions left behind in his previous life that did not conform to the source sea- For example, the almost stubborn materialism and the cosmology that has been cultivated throughout his life and still does not collapse in this life, these things that are obviously in conflict with Torrell Yuanhai are not deliberately erased, but are attached to the methodology as unimportant content.

While this approach was a bit inappropriate for Genhai's interpretation – it added flaws to an otherwise rigorous perception, Penny knew it was necessary – completely blocking it was tantamount to self-denial, and for wizards, the damage to himself from such a choice was much more serious than a few more flaws in his methodology.

Now it seems that this kind of reluctant compromise has left room for breaking through the boundary between the source and the sea.

Sure enough, as a supernatural force, it's still not okay to be too rigorous...... The wizard sighed and thought.

"That's no problem. Hylast nodded: "The seed of 'breakthrough' has been left in the methodology, and when the time comes, it will tell you what the spell that can help you break through the boundaries looks like, for most wizards, this requires more practice and experience, and the methodology can't even be fulfilled without these tempering, let alone breakthroughs...... Oh, but ...... for you."

He glanced at Penny, and the sour expression on his face once again appeared: "It seems to be a matter of a few inspirations. ”

"Inspiration?" the wizard thought of the apple that fell from the sky for a moment, but for him, the apple obviously did not solve the problem: "What should I use to mine these inspirations?"

"Study the artifacts created by the mortal spellcasters. Helast yawned, looking a little bored: "Every such artifact is the crystallization of the wisdom of mortal spellcasters who have tried their best to break through the source of the outer perimeter, by observing them, you can experience the methodology of those spellcasters, taste this wisdom, it is very beneficial to your 'breakthrough', and when you have the capital to break through, these spells of the outer source perimeter will not be a problem for you." ”

With a wave of his sleeve, Helast walked into his lab, and the wizard stroked his chin, finally realizing that he had an even greater problem in front of him.

But now he doesn't have the time to solve this problem, because something will soon come to his door.

"Your Excellency, the person you are looking for has been found. Nephies came with a stack of parchment: "They did not flee, but hid under the West Gate to avoid pursuit. ”

"Oh, what a hard work. The wizard raised an eyebrow and touched Nephis's head, and the little girl stuck out her tongue and reached the wizard's lap, and in Penny's eye of time, she saw a big girl sitting on top of her, turning over the parchment in her hand to show herself the information.

"It's really sad, it's a huge organization, and it doesn't even have a reliable wizard. Nephies pursed her lips, and in the wizard's eyes, a look of contempt appeared on the delicate face of the girl: "We drove away the ghosts in the black market, and they don't even have a place to buy teleportation scrolls. ”

The wizard squinted his eyes, dispelled the vision of the future from the retina, and patted the little girl's buttocks, who looked at him and jumped off his lap, the wizard stood up and patted his robes:

"Well, we'll have to meet them. ”
