Above the mage!

Chapter 147: Accumulation (Part )

A Tribute to the Sea.

Eighth-level rune construct.

A set of eighth-level rune structures is enough to serve as the foundation for Linhai City to stand firm.

As Gao De followed the crowd out of the classroom, his mind was still somewhat immersed in the introduction that Professor Mossen had just given.

He found that even though he had studied Rune Science for nearly ten days, he still knew nothing about what rune construction was.

And according to the mentor introduction he got at the beginning, his mentor, Jose O'Kenley, specializes in rune construction?

What's the point of introducing rune construction to yourself if you haven't even finished learning the basic runes step by step?

Goder was very rational and did not think that Hossi O'Kenley had never mentioned the rune construction to him because he was keeping it a secret.

As his thoughts raced through his mind, he felt as if he had overlooked something.
It was not until they reached the training building that Gao De slapped his head and realized what was going on.

"Hidden Mist Fang, O'Kenley Chamber of Commerce!"

"The four major chamber of commerce families in Linhai City, the O'Kenley family, is it a coincidence that He Xi O'Kenley?"

This was not the first time he heard the name O'Kenley. To be precise, it should be the third time.

Not long after arriving in this world, Godd heard the name of O'Kenley in Hogan City, and bought the "Fang of the Hidden Mist" which was said to be made by the O'Kenley Chamber of Commerce.

This was the first time he heard the name O'Kenley.

As for the second time, it was with his mentor.

Hosse O'Kenley.

"If the mentor is really from the O'Kenley family, there is no reason for him to leave the prosperous Linhai City and come to the Principality of Sean, which is like a rural farm compared to Linhai City."

"What's more, Linhai City is in the southeast corner of Norlan Continent, while the Principality of Sean is in the northwest corner of Norlan Continent, close to the Plantagenet Dynasty. It makes no sense for the two places to be so far apart."

Gao De thought about it for a while, and finally felt that it must be a coincidence.

No matter how powerful the O'Kenley Chamber of Commerce family is, it will not monopolize the O'Kenley surname.

So, if you meet someone with the last name O'Kenley, you can't assume that he is a member of the O'Kenley family.

While he was thinking, Gao De had already entered the training building, checked in a room at the front desk with ease, and then began his training for the day.

He tried several cans of fruit drinks brewed with leak-free water these days.

Apart from the different flavors caused by different fruits, there is basically no difference in effect compared to the original leak-free water.

At least Gaode can't feel the difference.

With the dual blessings of the special fruit drink and the first-level training room, Gao De's progress in practicing the Guidance Method has improved rapidly these days.

On the 12th of the Dark Gold Month, the Guidance Method had just completed a breakthrough.

Now, only twenty days have passed, and Gao De vaguely feels that the next upgrade is not far away.

This speed of improvement that can be seen with the naked eye makes Gaode even more motivated to practice.

After spending two and a half hours to finish today's practice, Gao De hurriedly left the training building.

He first rushed to the restaurant to eat dinner, and then hurried to the breeding room to carry out today's [Poisonous Insect Breeding] task.

The reward is that the progress of collecting the origin of the phantom centipede is +1.
It was at this time that Gao De, who had officially entered the student stage, truly understood why every student he met in the academy was in a hurry.

It’s not that the students of Seres College are pretentious, but that they are really busy.

Classes, training, and academy tasks.
Each of these things requires a lot of time and energy.

Frosty gold moon, 3th.

Today, Gaode is even busier.

Because the compulsory course he chose, "Mage Fundamentals", officially started today.

Since the class of "Basics of Mage" was in the morning, Gao De informed He Xi in advance, and today's "Rune Course" was moved to the afternoon.

This is the benefit of learning from a mentor.

At least it is flexible in terms of time and can be adjusted appropriately.

The name of the course "Mage Fundamentals" sounds ordinary, but it is actually very informative, otherwise it would not be listed as one of the three compulsory courses in the academy.

This was also the first time that Gaode received formal and systematic magic education.

"The composition of a mage's power is not complicated, but it is not as simple as simply comparing the mage's level and the number of spells they master."

"Although it is definitely better for a wizard of the same level to master more spells, this cannot be used as the only criterion for judgment."

"In addition to the mage's level and the number of spells, a mage's power also depends on his knowledge, spell equipment, money, and expertise!"

"In fact, in addition to these four, there is another one, which is the wisdom of the mage."

"It's just that this part varies from person to person and cannot be quantified, so I won't mention it for now."

"And this course aims to improve your knowledge and thus increase your strength." The instructor, Boweiyi, is a short and fat middle-aged wizard.

The first class, "Basics of Dharma Masters", involves teaching students how to effectively improve their practice efficiency while keeping the environment and practice methods unchanged. This is nothing for the "second generation of Dharma Masters".

Every wizard family has its own secrets in this regard to a greater or lesser extent.

But for Gaode, it is the most useful information.

He never thought that by improving the method, he could further enhance the efficiency of his practice of the guidance method.

Gao De listened to this class very attentively.

“Breathing is the source of life and the anchor of the soul.”

“We get the nutrients we need for life through breathing.”

"Similarly, proper breathing methods can also allow us to unconsciously and automatically absorb some magic power through breathing during practice."

"This part of magic power that is absorbed unconsciously is definitely incomparable to the magic power that is introduced into the body through mental power and guidance, but it is better in that it is always there and accumulates little by little."

"."

It’s actually not complicated, it’s just about adjusting and controlling your breathing.

Then, Poviyi demonstrated a breathing technique called "deep sea breathing".

This requires students to breathe slowly and deeply, just like being in the deep sea and struggling to absorb meager oxygen.

Gao De tried it and at first he felt that the breathing rhythm was very strange and he was not used to it.

After a few intermittent breaths, he almost couldn't breathe and started coughing violently.

But this is not a complicated spell or mysterious technique after all, it is just a breathing technique.

So after trying it a few more times, Gaode got used to the rhythm and felt the superiority of this breathing method.

Although he has not tried it during practice, for now, Gao De can clearly feel that he takes in much more oxygen with every breath than before.

This is already quite remarkable.

"This breathing method can also make you more focused during meditation, and slightly improve the efficiency of meditation practice. Of course, it's very weak, but it's better than nothing."

Finally, Bowei introduced some additional benefits of "deep sea breathing" and then announced the end of the get out of class.

With the arrival of Frost Gold Moon, Gaode’s eight courses started one after another.

Except for Runes, which he had applied for exemption from, the other seven courses: Mage Fundamentals, Spell Application and Combat, Basic Cultural Courses, Understanding Common Spells (Ring 0-3), Geography of the Norland Continent and Geography of War, General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials, and Magic Plant Cultivation were all carefully selected by Gaode. They were the basic knowledge that he lacked the most at the moment.

Naturally, he arrived on time for every class and never was late or absent.

I also don’t want to miss classes.

These were all courses he had chosen at great expense, and Gao De was well aware of how expensive knowledge was.

Especially the two courses, "Common Spells (0-3rd Ring)" and "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials", the contents of which had always been kept in the hands of the nobles as expensive knowledge and would never be easily passed on to others.

For a wizard like Gaode who came from a poor family, being able to learn through the course is a very lucky thing.

The course "Understanding Common Spells (0th to 3rd Ring)" introduces the names, spell effects, limitations and even coping methods of common 0th to 3rd ring spells, as well as everything else related to spells.

And although it is said to be a common spell, it actually also includes an introduction to some rare spells.

这门1学分的“知识型水课”，总共会介绍：35种0环法术、55种1环法术、55种2环法术、45种3环法术。

As for "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials", it will help students learn more than 500 kinds of magical medicinal materials.

The course content includes the name of the medicinal material, efficacy, value, appearance, collection precautions, storage points, and even the magic potions commonly used for refining.

Not difficult but complicated.

These two courses are equivalent to "liberal arts".

It is not difficult to understand, but if you want to remember all the knowledge points and pass the final examination to obtain credits, you still need to work hard to memorize and recite.

If it's just one subject, it's okay.

Since both Gaode and Deyi are elective subjects at the same time, the amount of memorization required is greater.

However, just the act of memorizing is extremely easy to accept for Gao De, who has experienced the education system of his previous life.

Recite the knowledge points learned that day before going to bed, and review them again when you wake up in the morning.

At the weekend, take a full set of time to review all the knowledge points of the week.

Do this three times in total, and the memory will be very deep.

Since the Frost Gold Moon, Gaode's daily rest time has been reduced to less than five hours.

I often have to memorize "knowledge points" until one or two o'clock in the morning before going to bed, and get up around six o'clock.

He felt as if he had turned into a machine, repeating boring study and training without any entertainment life.

No wonder when he was choosing courses, the staff member seemed hesitant to speak when he saw that he had chosen eight courses at once.
