Further revisions to the methodology are not an easy task.
He withstood all distractions and spent three months studying alone in the vault of the Mage's Towerβa little longer than he had expected, about the same time it took Samast to recover from hell.
At this point, he was still one short step away from completing the correction.
This step was not long, and the most difficult work was long over, and he turned through the pages of parchment that had been rubbed repeatedly until it changed color, and a large amount of information was swirling in his mind, repeatedly constructing various symbols.
As a high-level wizard who has reached this stage, as long as he thinks about it, the information involved is enough to make the source power in the source sea react.
However, by this time, Penny had just begun to understand the meaning of the edge of the source sea.
The source power that can be contacted has reached the limit here, and beyond that is the core of the chaotic source sea, the wizard understands that this is the closed part of Mystra, defined by the ancient arcanists as a high-level magic net above the tenth layer, and it is impossible for any contemporary spellcaster to reach this place to go one step deeper.
As the only source of supernatural power in the Torrell universe and the source of endless source power, any being in Torrell who wants to cast a spell must use the source power in the source sea, whether it is from the wizard's delving into the arcane, or the bloodline of warlocks and monsters, or the power bestowed on the apostles by the gods.
Regardless of the name of divine magic, arcane art, or whatever, these supernatural powers must be manifested through the source power in the source sea.
It's just that the drivers that contribute to this conversion are different.
The wizard's driving force comes from his own mind, and by the time he reached this point, he had already vaguely felt the reason why the inner layer of the source sea was closed.
The power within it has penetrated deep into the origin of the Torreel universe, and if mastered the power within, even a faint mortal can subvert the most powerful divine power.
Of course, the mortals who have come that far have nothing to do with the definition of weakness.
The wizard suddenly understood that the inner closure of the source sea might be the common decision of all the gods, and it might even be the will of the god who rarely came forward, otherwise a mortal could easily interfere in the realm of the gods, then Torel might not be as stable as it is now.
This layer of confinement cannot be broken, and the wizard who has come this far has reached the extreme in his study of the source sea of Torrell.
It's just the extreme of the current world.
Penny exhaled and raised a hand as if holding something, and although there was nothing on it, in the wizard's eyes, he could see the endless flow of source power.
His gaze passed through the palm of his hand, slowly sweeping the entire room, and in his field of vision, the matter in each area was transformed into the most primitive source power.
In the eyes of wizards at this level, everything in the world can be seen as the source of change and movement.
Although it is no longer possible to enter the depths of the Source Sea, for a wizard, this power is far from the end of the arcane law.
At this point, the wizard already knows where the power of those legendary spells with infinite power comes from,
The source power provided by the source sea is not enough for a mage with a higher level of control to construct a more powerful sorcery, and the source power of the legendary spell needs to be created by the mage himself.
A legendary mage needs a source that produces its own unique source power, that is, a unique 'private' source sea.
It is not surprising why the gods also choose to retreat when faced with some legendary mages, a power that transcends the limits of the source sea, and can certainly cause damage to them.
Of course, the source power generated in this 'source sea' is stronger than the source power in the source sea of Toriel, and the methodological and magical knowledge required to produce this power can be imagined. ...,
The wizard has not yet found the way to cross the line, although his steps have stepped on the edge of the source sea, but this also means that when he wants to take a step forward, he will face more and greater dangers, and if he is not careful, he will stumble and fall into the abyss.
The uniqueness of the methodology dooms each legendary mage's path to be unique, and there is no precedent for Penny to refer to.
He already had several plans in mind, and it seemed like he was close to a legendary spell, but he also knew that even the most viable of them was still far from perfecting.
Penny is even more unsure that his control is not enough to control the legendary source power, and the methodology at this stage may also have some reparable hidden dangers, if you start the research of legendary spells in a hurry, it is likely to make this hidden danger irreparable.
Therefore, he could not be presumptuous.
The last step of the methodology was corrected, but it was still too early for the wizard to end the experiment set for him, and he looked up again, frowning at the dense magic patterns painted on the walls.
With the feeling of standing still in time, he realized the power of the limit of the source sea, and deciphered it and turned it into part of his own methodology, but in the process of studying the power of this stage, Penny paid more attention to the power of the ancient evil Pendram.
He had a vague feeling that this power could help him enter the realm of legends.
Knowing the source of the legendary mage's power, Penny also understood that a monster like Pendram, whose power is not bound by the rules of the god system, must have a source that can produce unique source power.
Figuring out the form of existence of this source is of great inspiration and reference value for his legendary path.
According to the research of the scholars of the Ancient Empire, this monster in the form of a huge dark sphere is connected to many void spaces, and they speculate that strong explosions are constantly generated in it, and the powerful power of Pendram's material form is generated in these explosions, and it is transmitted to the outside world through his countless vascular wrapped around his body, becoming more distorted and difficult to fight.
So when the power in Pendrim's corpse is released, it will have such a complete destructive effect - the compressed space will release the terrifying power hidden in it, and everything that is hit will be left with no bones.
This reminds the wizard of the Big Bang doctrine, which is quite authoritative in another world, and the universe called Torrell was also born out of the collision of light and darkness, and if a unique power is to be born from the void, it may be an idea worth digging into.
The wizard meditated quietly for a long time, and walked out of the research room, only to see Nephiss hovering in the doorway, her steps extremely fast, and her expression very anxious.
"My lord, Lanny, she ......" She saw the wizard appear at the door, and hurriedly turned her head, and said eagerly, "The baby is about to come out!"
Penny's expression changed, he was immersed in the arcane world for days, and he almost forgot such an important thing for a while, he nodded quickly and hurried upstairs.
With an inexplicable anticipation, he ran to the door of the bedroom as fast as he could, not even thinking of using a faster teleportation technique.
The wizard's palm had just been placed on the doorknob when he heard an intermittent cry of pain coming from within:
β...... This is, this is a vile and shameless little bitch, just like his father, a complete bastard, oops...... Wait for him to come out and see how I clean him up, ah...... Y-Why hasn't he come out yet? It hurts......"
"Come on, push harder, harder!" Sitting next to her were women, including Vica, who had arrived from the Council of Simon City, Fina, who was staring at the open quilt with a flushed face, and of course, Hiccol, who was stroking her mother's hair. ...,
They stared nervously at Lanny, whose hands and teeth were almost torn apart, and kept urging softly.
But the situation seemed to be worse, at least for Lannie, who was clenched and sweated profusely, and it seemed that she did not expect the birth to be so painful.
The wizard quietly walked over, sat down on the bed, took Lanny's right hand, which had turned white from the exertion of her knuckles, and gently stroked her hair with the other hand.
She smelled the familiar smell, opened her big eyes that were a little weak, and when she saw the wizard's face, a look of grievance and annoyance immediately appeared on her face.
"Use some force. Penny whispered a whisper in her ear, a narrow-minded remark that made Lannie's pale cheeks flush instantly, and she glared at the wizard even more angrily, and the hand she was holding grabbed the back of the wizard's hand with a backhand, almost scratching a few bloody holes in it.
The wizard still had a smile on his face, and few people noticed the twitching of pain at the corners of his mouth, while Nephis stuck out her thumb and tongue out to the wizard on the other side.
As if because of this shame and a force, with a long gasp, Vika carried a slimy little guy out from under the bed, Penny suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Lanny opened her eyes with a gasp, Hiccol wiped the amniotic fluid off the baby's body with a soft towel, carefully knotted the umbilical cord, and with a loud cry, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Penny, is a lovely little princess." β
"Let me see. The wizard couldn't wait to take the little guy who hadn't opened his eyes yet, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and the indescribable complex emotions filled his chest, so that he didn't know how to express it, but his face was flushed, and he kept looking at every corner of this new life's body, not letting go of any detail.
Then he trembled and kissed the baby on the forehead, leaving a reddish mark and unexpectedly opening a slit in the baby's eyes.
A pair of dark palm-colored eyes, just like the wizard's own.
He laughed, and so did she, but the laughter quickly instinctively turned into a wail.
Vika and Hickel carefully wiped the marks on the bed, Nephis blinked as she looked at the wizard with the new life in her arms, and Fina began to lose her mind, blushing and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Take it, I want to see it. Lanny tugged at the wizard's robe, flattening her mouth and making a plea, and the wizard leaned over slightly, so that her daughter's face was facing her mother.
"That's ugly......" That wrinkled little face made Lannie frown dissatisfied.
"It's good to look at when you grow up. Vika, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, pursed her lips and smiled: "Just like you." β
Lanny snorted, suddenly her expression distorted again, her hands began to tremble again, it seemed that she couldn't control her strength because of some kind of pain, the baby was pinched by her and cried, the wizard hurriedly snatched it over, and coaxed softly for a while, but didn't see the baby quiet down, so she had to come to Lanny, whose expression became pale again: "What's wrong with you?"
"Why does it still hurt so much?" she bit her lower lip, grabbed the quilt that had been torn terribly with both hands, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead again.
When everyone was in doubt, suddenly an alarm sounded in the mage tower, and the wizard had hurriedly put down his daughter and reached the center of the mage tower through the teleportation array.
In a mirror, the panicked face of the half-elf Arnell appeared: "Boss, it's not good, big trouble is coming." β
"Calm down and be clear. "Penny's expression is not good-looking, and it may be a lot of trouble to make the half-elf show such a panicked and apocalyptic expression.
And from the magic image generated by this mirror, there is still a faint sound of buildings collapsing and the roar of a fierce beast, this roaring beast, it seems to be......
Some kind of dragon.
