Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 173 [Mirror of the Void], [Mirror Soul] spell, inheritance space
"A space mirror spell discovered from the Ancient Mirror Court."

"Originally, this should have been a reward for the winner of the competition, but after the incident of the Ancient Witch Resurrection Conference, the leaders of several major forces discussed and decided that as long as they entered the third round of the competition, everyone would be eligible to practice."

"Actually, this is not a special compensation from our magic circle for you. This is the reward you deserve."

Costi raised her hand, and the crystal floor-to-ceiling window in front of the two of them opened with a bang. The evening wind from high in the sky rushed in from outside, blowing the robes and hair of the two.

Ronan saw an exquisite crystal bracelet flash on Kosti's fair and slender right wrist, followed by the crisp sound of flapping wings.

A gigantic albatross popped out from Kirsty's sleeve and hovered in front of the two men.

"Let's go."

Kirsty called Ronan, "I'll take you to another place."

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly. Without asking where Kirsty was going, he nodded and followed Kirsty onto the back of the white albatross.

This should be a unique flying magic tool, and its spell effect is much stronger than that of ordinary flying props.

Ronan stood on the back of the albatross, and Kirsty took two steps forward from him. The faint fragrance from her hair blew on his face with the wind.

".The only thing that can be considered as compensation is where you are going next."

Costi said to Ronan, and the white albatross carried the two of them over the tower and flew straight towards the huge metal ring above the seven silver-white towers.

"Ronan, do you know the true origin of our Silver Ring?"

Kirsty suddenly spoke to Ronan.

Ronan blinked and replied, "I've heard people say that the magic ring originated in the central part of the continent, and the word silver in the magic ring was added later."

This secret was told to Ronan by Benigel. In fact, it is not really a secret as many people know it.

"Correct."

Costi nodded and said, "The origin of the Magic Circle is in the Central Region, named 'Almighty Magic Circle'. It is a top-level large-scale wizard force. Even in the Central Region, it has a strong reputation.

After arriving in the south, we changed the name to Silver Ring. In addition to the fact that we got the seal of [Silverization] by accident, it also meant to distinguish it from the headquarters."

Costi suddenly sighed with a rather emotional tone: "Thinking back then, a group of ten people came all the way from the central region to the south with great ambitions, but now..."

Kirsty didn't say anything further, and Ronan didn't ask.

Since there are only seven magic rings now, and there are only seven ring masters instead of ten, we can roughly guess that some changes must have happened along the way.

"..Actually, our main purpose for coming to the south was to visit the ruins of the Ancient Mirror Garden."

Costi calmed down and then said to Ronan: "The clues about the ruins of the Mirror Court came from the headquarters of the Circle of Justice and were issued within the faction in the form of a mission.

There were only ten of us who took on this task."

"Now that the ruins of the Ancient Mirror Garden have been basically excavated, can this mission be considered accomplished?"

Ronan interjected, but unexpectedly, Kirsty shook her head.

“No, not even close.

There is nothing we want in the Garden of Mirrors."

"Ok?"

Costi glanced at Ronan, hesitated slightly, and then whispered: "The real purpose of our Law Circle sending us here is to obtain the knowledge about space and mirror magic in the Mirror Court, so as to improve the part about space magic inheritance in the 'Almighty Law Circle' system.
Then we need to find the whereabouts of the lost space treasure - [Mirror of the Void]. "

"[Mirror of the Void]?"

Ronan's face showed a hint of curiosity.

"Yes."

Costi explained: "The [Mirror of the Void] is an extremely powerful space-based magic tool created by the ancient Mirror Court wizards... It is completely incomparable to the Dawn-class magic tools we discovered in the ruins.
It is said that the Ancient Mirror Court did not take it away, and it was deliberately left as a seed of inheritance in the Upper Ring Continent."

"But it's just a vague rumor. Even the wizards at our headquarters don't take it seriously. They just issue it as a task, leaving us lower-level members to try our luck by following the few clues."

“The facts prove that this is indeed the case. Even after the core area of ​​the Ancient Mirror Garden Ruins was excavated, no trace of the so-called [Mirror of the Void] was found.

Perhaps this space-based magic tool is not in the ruins at all, or perhaps it has already broken through the rune restrictions of the ruins like those Dawn-level magic tools that gave birth to spirituality, and has disappeared somewhere unknown."

“But it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Kosti stood on the back of the white albatross and looked down at the seven silver-white towers below. She gently lifted a few strands of hair from her temples and said calmly, "I'm afraid no one remembers why we are here, including me.

Time can really change a lot of things.”

The white albatross landed on the huge metal ring. At this time, the last rays of the setting sun shone down, illuminating the huge metal ring with a golden color.

Costi controlled the Albatross to fly slowly around the metal ring in a clockwise direction, and continued to talk to Ronan: "..The most core and powerful inheritance of the magic ring is the symbol [Almighty Magic Ring].

The power of this talisman is closely related to the type of elemental spells you master.

The more elemental spells one practices, the more powerful the combined talismans will be, and the smaller the loopholes in one's own spell system will be when fighting against the enemy, hence the name of omnipotence."

"I heard that the use of the [Almighty Ring] talisman requires a very high level of physical strength from the wizard, and ordinary wizards simply cannot bear it."

Ronan thought for a moment and said.

Kirsty replied: “Only part of it.

The flushing of multi-element energy particles will indeed place a huge burden on the caster's will and body.

But to reach this point, one has to almost reach the upper limit of 'omnipotence'.

In fact, there are very few wizards who can truly achieve "mastering all disciplines". Human power is limited, and no matter how long a wizard's life is, he cannot master all disciplines of magic.

Most magic circle wizards only choose to study two or three types of spells, and those with outstanding talents may choose slightly more.
So the title of "omnipotent" may seem impressive, but in reality it is only theoretically "omnipotent."

Ronan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

If the wizards of the "Almighty Ring" could really be all-powerful in all areas, the "Almighty Ring" would not be just a large wizarding force, but might have already become a super-large one, or even ruled the entire Upper Ring Continent.

Take himself as an example, he only practiced ice and metal, and at most energy, as well as body building, but he always felt that he did not have enough time and energy, and had to make some trade-offs in his practice.

Although he had not practiced for a long time, the lifespan of a Dawn-level wizard was mostly over a thousand years, but the higher the level of the spell, the more difficult it was to practice.

If you practice multiple disciplines, you also have to consider the conflicting concepts between spells of different elemental systems. Moreover, a wizard cannot focus all his energy on practicing spells. He also has to meditate, go out to fight for resources, constantly acquire knowledge, and do some necessary research on runes, potions, and alchemy.
The so-called "omnipotence" of the Almighty Magic Ring only sounds awesome, but in reality no one can do it.

“But even so, the heritage of the Ring is still strong.

Every time you learn one more spell, and every time you perfect the [Almighty] seal, your combat power will increase exponentially. Once you achieve something, few wizards of the same level can compete with the Circle Wizard."

"Even the 'Elemental Crystal' spell system that we created by integrating the metal spell inheritance from Spierte also has similar characteristics."

Ronan's expression changed slightly when he heard what Costi said, "Is that the kind that Orian practices?"

"Ah."

Costi nodded, and at this time the white albatross the two were riding on stopped completely at a certain position on the huge metal ring.

Ronan saw an entrance similar to a passage in front of him. It looked inconspicuous on the huge metal ring, but it was large enough for several people to enter and exit freely.

Costi casually dispersed the albatross spell and led Ronan in through the entrance.

Inside is a long metal corridor, the walls of which are painted with various complex and mysterious rune patterns.

"So how many spells does the omnipotence of the almighty ring include?"

Ronan lagged behind Kirsty by half a step, looking around curiously while asking Kirsty questions.

"Earth, Wind, Fire, Ice, Electricity, Energy, Metal, Plants, Darkness"

Kosti listed them one by one, and finally said: “When I left the Central Region, the omnipotence was ten series.

Now, perhaps it has increased to eleven, twelve, or even more."

".."

Ronan was secretly shocked.

Ten series, or even more.

Is the Almighty Ring intended to be the "Encyclopedia of Spells" of the wizarding world?

He seriously suspected that the top leaders of the Circle of Magic were a group of wizards with severe "collecting addiction".

When no one is able to master all these spells, why do we continue to add new content to the system, just for the well-deserved title of "all-powerful"?
Instead of spending that time on it, it would be better to study how to maximize the inherited power of the [Almighty Magic Ring] within the limits of human ability.

Of course, he was just a small second-level wizard with a narrow vision, and the high-level wizards in the magic circle might have more far-reaching considerations that he could not see.

"When you advance to level three, you will be able to access the true core of the magic ring.
At that time, you can choose to practice our original path in the south, or the orthodox path of our headquarters. "Kirsty suddenly stopped. At this time, they had not reached the end of the corridor. Looking ahead, there seemed to be a long way to go.

"I'm going to take you to the inheritance mark space at the core of the magic ring."

Costi groaned: "

Theoretically, you are not qualified to enter now, and even if you are promoted to level three, you may not have a chance.

But because of the world stone coordinates, they discussed and decided to make an exception and open it to you.

The resources of the Heritage Mark Space are very limited. Originally, among the younger generation of the entire Magic Circle, only Orian was qualified to enter. Many people have high hopes for him."

Kirsty's eyes rested lightly on Ronan, and after a pause she spoke again: "

Given your current situation and the unresolved turmoil surrounding the Ancient Witch Resurrection Society, it is actually a good choice for you to stay here.
As for your problem, I will also try to see if I can solve it."

As she spoke, Kosti raised her hand, and her fair and tender palm emitted a hazy glow, instantly illuminating the entire corridor.

In the glow, a space entrance that could only accommodate one person appeared.

Ronan's eyes flickered and he stepped towards the entrance, but when he was about to enter, he was suddenly stopped by Costi.

"Ronan."

Ronan turned his head, and Kirsty looked at him steadily, her lips moving, but in the end she just calmly instructed: "Seize this opportunity well."

Ronan nodded and stepped into the entrance.

As Ronan's figure disappeared, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared on Kosti's calm face.

She spoke coldly towards the end of the empty corridor.

“Is this compensation?
It's more like imprisonment. In the end, you still don't believe me."

In the dark corridor, only Kosti's voice was heard, and no one responded.

After a moment, Costi took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I will continue to fight for Damien's real compensation."

After saying that, Kosti walked back the way she came without looking back. Only her footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

"pat-"

Ronan suddenly found himself walking into a warm and comfortable room.

Soft light fills every corner of the room.

There are spiral bookshelves on all four sides of the room, which are filled with all kinds of books. The bookshelves extend upwards and there seems to be no ceiling above. I don't know where they lead to.

There was a long mahogany table in the middle of the room, and there seemed to be something on the table.

Ronan walked over slowly and found a gray rune stone with fluorescent words flashing next to it - to Ronan Damien.

For yourself?

When Ronan saw the words clearly, the fluorescence quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Ronan gently picked up the rune stone on the table and penetrated it with his spiritual power.
After a moment, Ronan's mind came out of his immersion and a strange look appeared on his face.

This rune stone records the inheritance of a spell.

There is no specific grade.

The name of the spell is——[Mirror Soul]!
"It seems that this is the inherited magic discovered from the Ancient Mirror Courtyard..."

After reading the entire introduction to the spell, Ronan finally understood why the six great sects were willing to generously share this spell.

The reason is that this spell does not involve the principles of space, it is just a pure "mirror" spell.

Mirror spells are derived from space spells, and the two are often closely linked, but there are also completely independent mirror spells. The one in Ronan's hand right now is one of them.

However, although it does not involve the principles of space, this gradeless [Mirror Soul] spell is still powerful.

The core of the [Mirror Soul] spell is similar to the mirror runes and spells that Ronan had encountered before, and the effect is the same - replica.

The caster can use the special spell medium and [Mirror Soul] to construct a temporary "summoning creature".

The strength of the summoned creature is determined by the caster's own strength level and the quality of the spell medium.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why it has no grade, because the upper and lower limits of the power of this spell in the hands of different wizards are too different.

The range of mediums needed to cast [Mirror Soul] spells is extremely wide, and can be an object, a breath, or even a memory.
The "Mirror Soul" summoned through different magical media often has very different strengths and abilities.

Ronan almost immediately thought of a medium that was extremely suitable for the magic of [Mirror Soul]. If his idea was feasible.
"This spell seems to be tailor-made for me!"

Ronan let out a light breath, suppressed his eager desire to try it out immediately, and put the rune stone with the [Mirror Soul] spell printed on it into the space ring.

Did he forget why he came here?
Could the inheritance mark space that Costi mentioned be the library-like room he is in now?
Ronan continued to look around and soon noticed eight small doors on the four sides of the room.

There were different patterns engraved on these eight small doors. Ronan identified them carefully and felt that they seemed to correspond to symbols of different elements.

He thought about it and walked towards a nearby small door with a flame-like pattern printed on it.

He walked to the door and reached out to try to push it open.

I pressed my palm on the door with a little force, but the small door didn't move at all.

Ronan frowned and turned to another small door.

Tried to open it, still couldn't push it.

When he tried the fifth small door, Ronan just put his hand on the door, and the abstract symbol of two crossed swords on the small door quietly lit up. Then the gray small door suddenly turned into a gray vortex, and Ronan suddenly "fell" into it -

Lead gray, black, silver, gold
All you can see is mottled metallic luster, the air is filled with a strong smell of pig iron, and the ground under your feet is extremely hard.

This is a world made entirely of various metals.

The metallic energy elements, which are usually the most sparse in the external space, are so dense in this place that they are almost visible to the naked eye.

Occasionally, the wind would blow across the ground, making a rough and harsh sound like the friction of metal. When it blew on the face, it felt like being washed by a knife.

"This is the metal-related heritage mark space."

Ronan looked at the heavy leaden sky, thoughtfully.

After staying in this space for a long time, he felt like he was slowly being assimilated by the metal, as if his entire body was becoming sluggish and jerky.

However, the nightmare tungsten steel and Neiman metal that had been attached to his body were quite active.

Ronan did not explore further, but simply exited the space and returned to the small room filled with books.

He continued to try the next door.

The next few doors went extremely smoothly.

Ronan tried them all and found eight small doors, and he could open half of them.

The elemental spaces behind the small door are respectively - metal, ice, earth and energy.

“Open as an exception.”

Ronan stood in the middle of the eight small doors, thinking with a flickering look in his eyes.

“It’s said to be an exception to the rule, but in fact it’s only partially open.

If it was Orion, then all eight small doors would be unobstructed, right?"

Ronan looked around again.

He had been in there for so long and hadn't found any "door" to exit.

When he came in, Kosti didn't tell him when he would leave, so it seemed that he would have to stay in this place for a while.

“I wonder if anyone is watching?”

Ronan looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly towards the deep darkness above his head.

Then he looked away again.

"That's fine. I just happen to need a quiet place and some time without being disturbed to sort out my current combat system.

And solve the problem of bloodline hidden dangers."

Ronan weighed the four small doors he could enter, and finally chose an ice door that was relatively comfortable to stay in and walked in.
