The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 72 Gemstone Magic (please order first)

Pei Ze was thinking about it. Gu Lin had already chosen a partner, and walked over and said, "Let's go, we need to register after forming a team."

So the group went back to the next door office to register and got their own team numbers.

Pei Ze is 32 and Gu Lin is 33.

It is worth mentioning that they will stay in the station for the rest of the day and are prohibited from leaving the station until the operation begins.

During this period, the City Guards will arrange accommodation and food for them.

Pei Ze didn't mind this, and settled down in the residence with peace of mind, meditating and practicing breathing techniques as usual every day.

After being promoted to a great knight, the tempering effect of Qinglan's breathing method on physique has been significantly weakened.

After practicing the breathing method three times a day, the increase in physical fitness is less than 0.1 points.

Pei Ze estimated that relying solely on Qing Lan's breathing method, the hope of being promoted to a legendary knight is not to say very slim, and it is not very high.

Perhaps only by practicing the extreme breathing method of a higher level can one ensure a high probability of being promoted to a legendary knight.

However, Pei Ze is not in a hurry. At this stage, he still focuses on building will runes and learning spells. When the task bar is free, it will not be too late to upgrade and improve Qinglan's breathing method.

On the second day after moving into the station, Will Rune No. 23 was successfully constructed, and Pei Ze's mental attributes suddenly increased by 3.8 points, reaching 95.38.

In addition, he analyzed a new spell - Silent Phantom!
This spell can create the phantom of a single object or creature. Its appearance is freely imagined by the caster, and it is very practical in combat.

The disadvantage is that the phantom created has no sound, smell, or body temperature, and can only move arbitrarily within a certain range.

At this point, Pei Ze has mastered five first-level spells.

For a third-level wizard apprentice who had just been promoted for less than a month, this amount was undoubtedly astonishing.

Ordinary third-level wizard apprentices can master one one-level spell on average in one or two months without any external force.

Even a genius like Gu Lin, who is assisted by many strange objects and potions, often needs ten days and a half to master a single spell.

Compared with them, Pei Ze's speed at mastering spells is simply terrifying!
"It's still short of enfeebling rays and jumping spells."

Pei Ze looked at the two spell books in his hands.

The total analysis time for the two first-level spells is only more than ten days, and he plans to finish it one after another in these days.

As for more first-level spells, it is not too late to learn them slowly after all the will runes are constructed.

There is a saying among wizard apprentices that only a third-level wizard apprentice who has mastered at least five first-level spells can be called a real third-level wizard apprentice.

Compared with zero-level spells that are more functional, one-level spells cover many aspects such as attack, defense, field control, and mobility, and are more effective and more powerful.

Only a third-level wizard apprentice who has mastered a sufficient number of first-level spells and built his own exclusive combat system can be called a truly powerful combat force.

Another day passed in the blink of an eye.

After completing the daily routine of meditation, Pei Ze walked out of the residence and went to the square outside.

It has to be admitted that the city guards arranged quite thoughtfully.

In addition to board and lodging, many metal targets were placed on the square next to the residence, specially for wizard apprentices to experiment with spells and knights to practice combat skills.

At this time, there were many wizard apprentices and knights practicing in the wide square, and the roaring and roaring sounds were endless.

In the past two days, wizard apprentices have arrived one after another.

Pei Ze estimated that the number of third-level wizard apprentices participating in the encirclement and suppression operation was probably over .

Most of these people are third graders.

There are less than ten sophomores.

There were only two first-year students, namely him and Gu Lin.

So that no matter where he went, Pei Ze would attract the attention of many people.

Fortunately, he has long been accustomed to this.

Arriving at the square, Su Ya and Peng Yan were practicing combat skills.

Pei Ze stopped and watched quietly.

Su Ya practices an advanced breathing method that focuses on agility. Her movements are quick and dexterous, and combined with her delicate appearance, she looks like a dancing elf.

But whoever really regards her as an elf will end up dying under the lightning-fast attack of the girl.

The sharp sword blade was like a lightning bolt in Su Ya's hand, leaping rapidly in the void, occasionally tearing the air and creating a sonic boom that made people feel terrified.

"This combat technique is somewhat similar to Extreme Flash."

Pei Ze murmured and turned to look to the other side.

Peng Yan practiced an elementary breathing method that focused on physical fitness and strength. He was particular about overpowering people with force and attacking widely, which matched his iron tower-like body very well.

His weapon is a two-handed heavy sword that is as wide as a door panel. When he swings it, a low whistling sound can be heard, and he sets off a large violent air wave. Just looking at it can make people feel heart palpitations.

Not far away, Gu Lin was also practicing spells.

The girl stretched her palms forward and faced forward. As she spoke a few syllables from her mouth, a blazing flame instantly spurted out from her palms and swept forward in a cone shape, covering a large area in front of her.

Burning hands!

After observing for the past two days, Pei Ze discovered that Gu Lin seemed to have a special liking for fire spells.

The only spells he mastered were Fireball and Burning Hands. He didn't even learn mage armor, so he acted differently from ordinary apprentices.

At this moment, out of the corner of Pei Ze's eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone walking towards him, and when he turned around, it was Fan He.

"Junior Pei Ze, I knew you would definitely come." Fan He said with a smile, "You must be here for the spot in the Secret Realm of Truth."

"Yeah, but it doesn't look like there is much hope." Pei Ze shrugged and said, looking behind Fan He, "Is Senior Yin Xue not here?"

Mentioning Yin Xue, Fan He showed a look of envy mixed with awe, and said: "Yin Xue is retreating to attack the realm of wizards. If there is no accident, she should have been promoted to a full-time wizard when we go back."

Pei Ze was startled, then secretly sighed.

The senior sister was only one step away from becoming a formal wizard, and it was expected that she would now try to make a breakthrough.

Once successful, she will be able to graduate as a wizard in the future and have a bright future.

Among the four major wizarding academies in Dawn City, those who have been able to become wizards through advanced meditation methods before graduation have eventually become important figures in Dawn City as long as they do not die unexpectedly during the process!

The one with the lowest achievement is a third-level wizard!

In particular, what Yin Xue practiced was the advanced meditation method of the 'top grid' 24 will runes.

Future achievements will be even more limitless.

"Gu Lin is here too." Fan He glanced over Pei Ze's shoulder and looked at Gu Lin who was practicing spells, "Fireball and Burning Hand, tsk tsk, I heard that Gu Lin has just been promoted for less than half a month, so he has mastered two first-level skills." The Gu family learned spells much faster than other people."

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "How to say?"

Fan He smiled and said, "Have you heard of the gem magic of the Gu family?"

Pei Ze shook his head. He didn't know much about the wizard family.

Fan He didn't care and patiently explained: "You should know that gems are not just luxury goods. In the hands of wizards, different gems can produce different special effects."

Pei Ze nodded.

He has seen this knowledge in books.

Many wizards who specialize in enchantment like to inlay gems on their staffs. This is not only to increase the beauty of the staff, but also to enhance the effectiveness of the staff.

Many gemstones can be transformed into precious enchanting materials after special treatment.

For example, red zircon, also known as hyacinth stone or flame stone, can greatly enhance the power of fire spells after being embedded in a staff with solidified fire spells.

Another example is sapphire, which can greatly enhance the effect of summoning spells after being inlaid on a staff with summoning spells solidified.

There are also opals, diamonds, moonstones, greenstones, halostones, etc., each of which has a good effect.

After tens of thousands of years of research and development, wizards have already built a complete set of gem enchanting systems.

Therefore, in this world, many gems are worth far more than Pei Ze's previous life.

Seeing Pei Ze nod, Fan He continued: "Gemstones are usually used as enchanting materials, but the ancestors of the Gu family took a different approach and developed a method to use gems as a spell-casting medium to greatly increase the power of spells, reduce spell-casting costs, and even cast higher-level spells. The system of spells is the Gu family’s famous gem magic.”

Leap level casting!

Pei Ze was surprised.

Due to the limitation of mental power, the third-level wizard apprentice can only cast one level of spell at most.

But if gem magic is really as powerful as Fan He said, wouldn't Gu Lin be able to use gems to cast second-ring spells?
This is a real killer move!
Pei Ze couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Thinking about it now, in the final battle of the trial, Gu Lin might not have been really afraid of him.

It was probably like what she said, when the No. 1 position was settled, it didn't matter if you wanted points or not, so she handed over all the points without any regrets.

Pei Ze took a deep look at Gu Lin who was not far away.

At this moment, Gu Lin finished the practice and noticed Pei Ze and Fan He.

She seemed to recognize Fan He, and came over to say hello casually, and the latter responded with a smile on his face.

Suddenly there was a commotion not far away.

The three of them turned around and saw a group of soldiers passing by, escorting a man covered in bruises and shaking his head.

A soldier who fell behind was still holding a pile of sundries.

Pei Ze's eyes fell on a badge on the top of the debris pile.

With his excellent eyesight, he could clearly see the pattern on the surface of the badge - countless arms of different lengths and thicknesses, scrambling to protrude from a black well, with a strange and gloomy meaning.

"He is a pagan in the hand of deep grudge." Fan He said in a low voice.

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

These days, he has learned a lot of information about the Hand of Resentment from Gu Lin, and has a general understanding of this sect.

All pagan religions have their own objects of belief.

Gods, demons, demons, legendary creatures. The objects of belief may be different, but there is usually only one.

Only the hand of deep grudge is special, they have multiple belief objects.

It is rumored that there are dozens or hundreds of pools called wells of darkness on the 73rd floor of the Abyss.

In each well of darkness, a great demon, demon lord or evil god is imprisoned and sealed.

During the long years of imprisonment, in order to escape the well of darkness, these beings gradually reached a consensus, united and extended their tentacles to many material planes, using power as a temptation, each developed a large number of believers, and gathered together to form the Hand of Grudge. Such a special sect.

Depending on the specific objects of belief, there are many groups within the Hand of Resentment.

The target of this joint encirclement and suppression campaign by the City Guards and the Tower Academy is one of the groups whose object of worship is the great demon Abep.

It is rumored that Abep is a giant basaltic stone demon with six arms.

He has an indestructible huge body and powerful magical power to control the earth element.

Therefore, believers who believe in him often have strong bodies and earth spell-like abilities.

For example, the demonizer Pei Ze once met had a strong and invulnerable physique.

In recent months, while the wizards of Dawn City have focused their attention on the new dimension, the power of Abepu's followers has expanded rapidly.

They obtained Abep's blood through rituals, then refined it into demon potion, spread it secretly, and gradually expanded their power.

Many knights and wizard apprentices who blindly pursued power were tempted to take demonic potions and became members of Abepu's followers.

Among these people, those who are not compatible with the devil's potion become demonizers.

It has a good compatibility with the devil potion, and after completely digesting the energy of the devil potion, it will become a devil and initially awaken the earth-type magic ability.

Once a sufficiently pious devil has made enough credit, he will be given dark well water by the high-level sect, and after taking it, he will be promoted to become a binge drinker.

Among Abepu's followers, binge drinkers are already considered middle-level cadres.

Further up are the core high-level priests and bishops.

Watching the soldiers escorting the heretics to disappear around the corner, Fan He said solemnly: "It seems that the encirclement and suppression operation will start soon."

He turned to Pei Ze and Gu Lin and said, "It's best not to practice spells for the past two days, and try to preserve your mental strength and recharge your batteries."

Pei Ze and Gu Lin looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Separating from Fan He and Gu Lin, Pei Ze did not stay to continue watching Su Ya and Peng Yan practice, and turned back to his residence.

Back at the residence, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wuyu lying by the window basking in the sun, and Xiao Yi was combing its feathers, with a flattering smile on her face, babbling a few words from time to time, as if to ask whether she was satisfied.

A look of astonishment appeared on Pei Ze's face.

After moving into the garrison, Xiaoyi's naughty nature couldn't be restrained very quickly. In the past two days, she played pranks everywhere, played tricks on those poor soldiers, and made them miserable.

So much so that the chief of the city guard specifically went to Pei Ze and begged him to take care of Xiao Yi, so Pei Ze grounded her and sent Wu Yu to watch over her.

Have to admit, this trick is very useful.

Xiaoyi was already a little afraid of Wuyu, deeply afraid that one day Wuyu would eat her like those crows, so she was very obedient all day yesterday.

Unexpectedly, the little guy was uncharacteristically courting Wuyu today.

Is this transsexual?

Pei Ze laughed and shook his head, letting the two little guys interact. He sat down at the desk, took out a book and started reading.

It's called reading, but it's actually scanning.

The all-seeing eye is completely fused with Pei Ze's soul, as long as the knowledge scanned and recorded by it will be directly instilled into his mind.

This method allows him to memorize knowledge points permanently at one time.

You don't need to constantly review previous knowledge like other people to achieve long-term memory.

Absolute photographic memory, this is the all-seeing eye no less capable of analysis and improvement.

Although wizards have developed their bodies and their thinking and memory abilities are far superior to ordinary people, they still cannot have photographic memory.

Especially when a wizard reaches an advanced stage, the knowledge that needs to be memorized becomes more complex and complex.

Maybe wizards can remember a small amount of knowledge, but in the face of a vast amount of knowledge, they can only memorize and understand it step by step honestly.

Knowledge is the source of power for wizards, but it is also the shackles that prevent wizards from breaking through the realm.

Without sufficient knowledge, wizards will have difficulty mastering spells, mastering various metamagic techniques, and refining various potions, puppets, and magic props.

Even Pei Ze, who has omniscient eyes, cannot avoid learning from various books.

The omniscient eye at this stage is not truly omniscient after all, and still requires various knowledge as a basis for analysis and improvement.

Of course, Pei Ze can now use his omniscient eye to create a new spell out of thin air, but the time required will be astronomical.

Even the Omniscient Meditation method is upgraded on the basis of the Universal Meditation method, and it is not really created from scratch.

For this reason, Pei Ze always keeps a lot of books in his dimensional bag, which he borrowed from the library with money, and he takes them out to 'browse' whenever he has time.

It is worth mentioning that since he came out of the Secret Realm of Truth, Pei Ze found that his thinking ability and memory have improved significantly, and his meditation efficiency has also improved a lot. He guesses this is what Yin Xue said about the improvement of aptitude.

Seeing Pei Ze starting to read a book, Xiao Yi consciously stopped playing around.

The room quickly quieted down.

This time I saw the evening.

Pei Ze closed the book, stretched, and got up to fill his stomach.

The resident specially arranged chefs to cook small stoves for them apprentice wizards, but Pei Ze felt that the taste was not as good as his craftsmanship.

Before coming to the station, he specially made a lot of sandwiches and put them in the dimensional bag, and he used these to fill his stomach in the past two days.

After that, he fed nectar and magic stone coins to Xiaoyi and Wuyu respectively.

After everything was done, it was already dark outside.

Pei Ze was thinking whether to continue reading or practice breathing tonight, when a deep voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere in his mind.

"All wizard apprentices must gather in the command hall immediately!"

Communication technique!
Pei Ze's heart moved, and he knew that the encirclement and suppression operation was finally about to begin.
