Above the mage!

Chapter 18 Amy's Intelligence

In the quiet workroom, the candlelight flickered.

Gao De didn't move for a long while, then suddenly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pointed diagonally forward.

Just looking at this action, it seems somewhat confusing and weird.

However, after Gode made this move, magical energy fluctuations appeared at his fingertips, and a blue-white beam of light shot out out of thin air.

The beam of light itself was not thick, but it carried an inexplicable chill.

The next moment, a beam of cold light shot out from Gode's fingertips like a flying knife, and hit the corpse of the little gray mouse that Gode had placed in front of him.

The moment the beam of light touched the little gray mouse, a slight sound of ice cracking could be heard in the air.

A thin layer of ice instantly formed on the little gray mouse's fur.

The thin ice lasted for about twenty seconds before dissipating.

"It can last for twenty seconds against a dead little gray mouse. If the target is a Seda wizard, it would be good if it can last for three seconds."

Gao De calculated secretly in his mind.

Then he let out a long breath.

"Six days to master all three tricks!"

After thoroughly perfecting the new method of constructing spell models, he successfully constructed the acid splash spell model in one go.

Although the main reason was that the construction method he used was much more efficient than the traditional method, there was also a bit of luck involved.

Perhaps there are so-called novice benefits in learning magic.

In short, when constructing the two spell models of "Increase Resistance" and "Freeze Ray", Gaode did not continue his good luck on the first day.

Both spells failed even after excessive mental energy was depleted, and it was necessary to wait until the next day when mental energy was restored before making a second or even a third attempt.

Six days have passed since I purchased three spell recipes from Yom.

Just now, Gaode finally successfully constructed the spell model of the freezing ray.

This announced that he had mastered all three new spells.

A first-class apprentice can master three tricks in six days.

There's no way anyone would believe it if I told them!

This is the advantage of Amap's current method of building spell models.

But Gao De did not think of himself as a genius.

He understood clearly that the reason he was able to achieve this incredible transformation was simply because he was standing on the shoulders of giants.

In the final analysis, it is just repeating what others have said.

To the people of this world:

First, we need to change our inherent concept and transform the traditional construction method of connecting star tracks while determining the position of the sub-stars into a new method of first determining the position of the sub-stars and then connecting star tracks.
Then using the method of analytic geometry to establish a coordinate system to disassemble the spell model to determine the position of the stars requires both the courage to question authority and the knowledge to solve problems that exist in the new method.

More importantly, there must also be a "wind spirit and moon shadow".

The traditional method of constructing spell models has been passed down for who knows how many years.

The more powerful the wizard is, the more he has practiced according to traditional methods for so many years, and the more difficult it is for him to question and change his thinking due to inertia.

A weak magician would not even have such wishful thinking.

Just like the heliocentric theory, it seems to be an obvious truth now, but back then, the geocentric theory was a sacred and inviolable truth that could never be questioned.

But for Gaode, a visitor from another world, he did not have any pedantic concepts about truth and falsehood.

He is still a very new mage apprentice, and his thinking pattern about spells is not yet fixed.

What's more, for an excellent mathematics student, the courage to question and the courage to change are one of the basic qualities.

If the method used by the teacher is wrong or not good, then it is normal to use your own method to solve the problem.

As for analytic geometry and Cartesian coordinate system, they are completely new fields of knowledge for people in this world and they create a new concept.

But for Gaode, this is just taking out a practical method from its own knowledge base.

Analytical geometry and Cartesian coordinate system were not considered advanced knowledge in Gaode's previous life. Any ordinary junior high school student could relate to this situation if they encountered it.

But for people in this world, it is extremely difficult to think of the coordinate system.

If you think of some things, the principle is actually very simple, but thinking of this step can stump countless people.

The apple fell countless times, but only Newton thought of gravity.

Even the seemingly simple Cartesian coordinate system was invented in the seventeenth century, before which no one had thought of it.

"I have mastered five spells, and my current mana is just enough to support me in performing five tricks."

Gao De rubbed his slightly swollen temple and muttered to himself.

There are shortcuts in constructing spell models, but the growth of mental strength and magic power requires down-to-earth efforts.

He has tried it and found that after casting five 0-level spells, his magic power will be completely consumed.

——If you use the five tricks you have mastered one by one, your mana will be exhausted.

This embarrassing situation can be described by a common saying: "A mage with great equipment is just a piece of trash without mana."

Gaode has no way to deal with this.

The growth of magic power cannot be achieved overnight. At least this embarrassing situation will continue for a while.

"Money has its origin."

Since it is unrealistic to increase mana in a short period of time, we have to find ways to do more with limited mana, such as enhancing the effectiveness of spells.

This may not be realistic for other people, but it is feasible for Amap.

Because he has Feng Ling Yue Ying, he can "add some points".

Just adding points requires consuming essence.

Thinking of this, Gao De felt a little regretful.

The little essence of the gray-eyed mouse should not be used so easily in repair surgery.

Although [Repair+] is good in every way, it cannot be used in actual combat.

……

The spell problem has been solved temporarily, and the next focus is to obtain a new origin.

"Let's go to the commercial district again tomorrow and see if there is any way." Gao De thought to himself.

It has been eleven days since he came into this world. As time goes by, he becomes more and more anxious.

But even if there is a way, it still requires money, and after purchasing the three spell formulas, his savings have shrunk to 30 silver and 8 bronze.

Thinking of this, Gao De couldn't help but sigh again.

It turns out that no matter where you are, or even in any world, you cannot survive without money.

When Goder left the workshop and returned to his small bedroom, his roommate Amy had already gone to bed.

These days he has been concentrating on building spell models and comes back very late.

Gao De quietly took off his coat, lay down and prepared to rest.

"God, you're back?" Amy's voice was heard in the darkness and silence.

Gao De was stunned for a moment, then he hummed softly and apologized, "I have been practicing for a long time these days, so I came back late. I am sorry to have disturbed you."

"No, I came back late today, and I just lay down and haven't fallen asleep yet."

Amy's voice was very low. She was hesitating about something. After some hesitation, she finally spoke carefully: "God, do you want to deal with Master Seda?"

In the darkness, Gao De's face changed, his heart trembled, and he even subconsciously thought that he had exposed something these days.

"I know. You told me a long time ago that if we don't do something, we will all die."

Amy took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. "The Master is too powerful. I always feel that no matter what we do, we can't change anything."

"Master Seda is indeed very powerful." Gaode replied ambiguously.

"You asked me that day," Amy imitated Gold's tone and repeated Gold's original words, "If someone wanted to kill you, what would you do?"

"I couldn't answer it at that time, but I've been thinking about it these past few days." He nodded vigorously in the darkness and said, "At least we can't do nothing, right?"

"I can't just sit there and wait for death." Gao De expressed his attitude.

"Master Seda specializes in necromancy. There is a spell in it. I don't know the name, but I know that as long as it touches the target, the target will become powerless."

Gao De remained silent and did not respond.

Amy continued, "I heard from Yilan that one of the three major rules of a wizard is "never let others know your spells." Although I don't know what it means exactly, I think this should be of some help to you."
