V1.Chapter 73

An unassuming little courtyard.

Sauron held the machete and practiced one by one. It had been two days since he came back to White Horse City, and he passed very peacefully during this time. Read books during the day to practice White Crow Swordsmanship, and continue to study spell models at night. Now he has mastered 10 level 0 spells. There are hundreds of tricks at the lowest level. He can only choose the useful ones to learn first. The research progress of the level 1 spell Arcane Missile has also reached about 80%. If it goes well, tonight The first official spell can be mastered. As the research progresses faster and faster, his knowledge of spell models is gradually increasing.

Many spell models are similar, with higher-level spells often containing lower-level spell models.

For example, the second-level spell 'Acid Arrow', although the structure of the spell model is very complex, there may be hundreds or thousands of spell nodes, but many of the internal structures overlap with the level 0 spell 'Acid Splash'. The same is true for the 'Arcane Missile' that Sauron is currently researching. If he learns the fourth ring 'Secondary Missile Storm' in the future, he can import the spell model of the Arcane Missile into it, thereby greatly reducing the time for learning spells. .

Arcane Missiles fire up to 5 energy missiles at a time, while Secondary Missile Storm fires 15-25 energy missiles at once.

The more you study the principle structure of many spell models, the easier it becomes.

However, the learning of White Crow Swordsmanship cannot be said to be fast. It takes a long time to master this kind of middle and high-level combat skills. It takes three or five years to normally train the White Crow Swordsmanship to achieve a little, so although Sauron has a good talent, he has only recovered some skills in the past few days, and it is far from the level of proficiency. . There are not many shortcuts in combat skills training, and it took him a long time to train [Sword Stance - Cross Slash].

At noon, he would go to the caravan station to accompany Vivian.

In the autumn afternoon, the sun is very warm, and the two of them are leaning against each other to bask in the sun. The little girl often falls asleep on his body.

This age is when she is growing, and because of the heavy learning task, she seems more lethargic.

If there is anything new, the little girl will lie on his knees and brood, and then tell him what she has learned, what happened today, and she will always fall asleep unconsciously at the end. Spell learning is actually a very boring thing. Gloria obviously wants to train the little girl to be an all-round spellcaster, otherwise she will not teach her so much knowledge other than spells. As for Vivian's talent, Sauron is a little clearer now. It's more powerful than himself. Just read and memorize it once to understand most of it.

Arguably a true genius.

If it wasn't for Sauron's lack of special bloodline talent, he would even doubt whether Vivian was the son of God.

Or the descendants of the Son of God.

However, this idea only came up for a while and was rejected by him, because most of the gods have divine power, and Vivienne doesn't have even a trace of divine power, so she should be the kind of magic casting genius that is unique. Besides, the two were half-fathers, and Vivian's father had a vague impression in his memory, as if he was just a more powerful adventurer. If there is really any bloodline, it should be the biological father of Sauron's body, after all, he is a thief in his memory.

Casters with wizard towers are at least high-level, and those who dare to go in and steal are basically thieves with professional level 15 or higher!

Because God knows how many traps and golems there are.

The challenge level of any running wizard tower is above level 15, which is about the same difficulty as killing an adult red dragon.

The price of the wizard tower construction is basically more than 1 million kindlers.

If the money reaches a certain level, the tower can be deformed and even fly. The final form of the wizard tower can be advanced into a different-dimensional fortress and a floating fortress, which is one of the few things that can leave a psychological shadow on a legendary thief. There are only a few special buildings in the world that can fight the kingdom of gods head-on. There are ancient documents that recorded that the great arcanist transported the floating fortress to the kingdom of heaven, and then abruptly lay down on a god.

After dawdling for so long, White Horse City finally started to move.

For the efficiency of this world's ruling class, Sauron was extremely contemptuous. When the battle of the Southern Islands occurred that year, he was killed by the noble council. Otherwise, he would never stop asking about the kingdom war, and turned his focus to the adventure of a small team. Basically, in all the countries in this world, Sauron has no sense of identity. For the employment tasks he accepted during his wandering, he basically used knives against more than half of the countries.

Whoever gives more money, he will kill whose enemy!

The guard of White Horse City was finally ready to set off. The assembled army included a squad of knights, and also hired a large number of adventurers.

After being blocked for nearly a week, the city hall came up with a feasible plan, invited the wizards stationed in the city, assembled an army of 2,000 people, and began to clean up the monsters on the main road. Wars in this world rarely have large battles with a number of more than 100,000 people. Even in the kingdom, the number of people fighting is only tens of thousands. It is not the reason for the small population. It is just that the soldiers trained by ordinary people are of little use.

There is an elite army here, and the real soldiers are the soldiers of the proletariat.

The population within the area covered by White Horse City exceeds 500,000, but there are only about 5,000 troops stationed there. All of these people are regular soldiers who are out of production and spend more than half of their time in training every year. Basically, there are advanced warriors in the army, but most of the occupation levels are below the fifth level, and only those who have been tempered on the battlefield can break through to the fifth level or above.

Sauron is also ready to act with them.

Killing experience is never enough. With such an opportunity to act with a group, he naturally wants to find a way to gain more experience.

midnight.

Sauron finally learned the first 1st-level spell, and at the same time gained an additional 100 points of professional experience. Wizards can gain professional experience by learning formal spells, but the number of them is not large, only 100 points for first-level spells, 200 points for second-level spells, 400 points for third-level spells, and 800 points for fourth-level spells. The professional experience gained from a 5th-level spell is considerable, and a 5th-level spell has 1600 professional experience points.

6th-level spells are 3200 points, 7th-level spells are 6400 points, and 8th-level spells are 12800 points.

Level 9 spells are not known yet, but they should be quite large.

From this point of view, it seems that it is not difficult for wizards to upgrade their professional level, but the problem is that wizards learn spells very slowly, and high-level spells often take one or two months to learn, so they are destined to be inferior to others. Experience. Moreover, the prices of these spells are not cheap, and the more advanced the spells are, the more difficult it is to obtain.

"Finally finished."

After Sauron successfully constructed the spell model of the Arcane Missile, he immediately began to memorize spells. He is now a 4th-level wizard, with 3 1st-level spell slots, and a low-level wizard ring, which can add an additional 1. Level spell slot. That is to say, he can now memorize 4 first-level spells, although currently only Arcane Missiles can be memorized.

The memory time is not long.

Sauron completed the spell memory in about two hours, and constructed the spell model of the arcane missile from the four spell slots formed after contacting the magic net.

"Item Type: Ring of the Lesser Sorcerer.

Item Level: [First-Order Extraordinary Item]

Item description: The wizard's ring made of special materials can help the caster to store some additional spell slots.

Equipment requirements: none.

Equipment effect: Add 1 first-level spell slot. "

The most expensive ring of the extraordinary item level is the wizard's ring that increases the spell slot, because it can flexibly memorize various types of spells. The second is a single-type enchanted ring, which can additionally charge the corresponding spell. For example, the withered wooden staff Sauron got +1, and there was a level 1 magic 'entanglement' that had been recharged 3 times. More advanced extraordinary items can be recharged by themselves and used a certain number of times a day, but the price and materials are very expensive.

"Item type: Withered wooden staff +1.

Item Level: [First-Order Extraordinary Item]

Item description: Using the special wooden staff blessed by divine spells, you can activate additional Druid divine spells, and a green leaf above is full of vitality.

Equipment requirements: none.

Equipment effect: You can use the 1st-level divine art [entanglement] (2/3 times). "

Memory complete.

Sauron stood up impatiently, and then walked out of the room. He needed to test the power of arcane missiles. He first took out a piece of wood with a thickness of about three centimeters, and then found a piece of iron with a thickness of about 0.5 centimeters. It has always been his habit to test his own strength before a fight.

"OZR..."

Arcane Missiles have a short casting time of one second, and the spell is three interleaved monosyllables.

As Sauron pointed forward, two balls of arcane missiles the size of ping-pong balls appeared and instantly landed on the wooden board in front of him. Spells fly extremely fast. Although dodging spells may succeed, they need to be pre-judged in advance, as if dodging bullets requires pre-judging the position of the opponent's shooting, the direction of the arm aiming before shooting, and so on. The speed of arcane missiles is similar to that of bullets, and the possibility of dodging after casting the spell is very low. If you want to dodge, you have to prepare before the opponent casts the spell.

Because Arcane Missiles only hit the first target they hit, many spells do.

Even the 'dissociation technique' and 'death finger' that everyone hears loudly, will only act on the first object encountered. Sauron had a hamster with him for a while, and usually kept it as a pet. When he saw the red light of the finger of death, he threw the hamster out. If you are lucky, you can block a spell, but if you are unlucky, you can only rely on the physical fortitude save to resist the instant death judgment.

Because the [Spell Control] was not mastered, the flight path of the arcane missile was a straight line, and a hole was punched out of the three-centimeter-thick plank, and the two missiles hit the same location. However, when Sauron released the spell for the second time, the arcane missile just made a pit on the iron plate, and the power of the spell he possessed could not penetrate the iron plate with a thickness of 0.5 centimeters.

"It's okay to deal with enemies that don't wear armor." Sauron picked up the iron plate and observed it carefully, and said to himself, "It's a lot worse to deal with enemies wearing armor, but fortunately, the casting speed is very short, and it's surprising to use it well. Effect."

If you learn 'missile storm' in the future, a spell can be used to make a plate shield into a sieve.
