Above the mage!

Chapter 181 9 Rare Spells

"Huh?" Gao De was slightly surprised.

Jelica's suggestion was something he had not expected.

He took a deep breath, not being overwhelmed by the huge number, "What do you need me to do?"

"No, nothing is needed," Jelica said with a smile, "You can think of it as me thinking highly of you and trusting your character, and investing in you in advance. After all, what I pay is just a small amount of money which is insignificant to me."

"To be honest, you asked me to put more pressure on you, and I did put a little pressure on you, and I made a small profit."

Jelica was referring to the fact that Goder asked her to bet on him to get first place in the credits.

"Since I earned it with your help, it's reasonable for me to return it to you. I don't lose anything, and I'm earning a favor from you for free."

Jelica said it calmly.

Although she wanted to provide "funding" to Gaode, she did not act like a benefactor at all. Instead, she spoke like a casual chat between friends, which made people feel very comfortable.

Gao De fell silent.

Of course he knew that what Jelica said, "I'll return it to you based on what you earn," was just a polite remark.

The two of them walked in silence, and Jelica did not urge Gode, but waited quietly for him to make a decision.

In fact, to Jelica, the more Goder hesitated at this moment, the more it proved that he was the kind of person who would find a way to repay a favor once he accepted it.

So she was happy to see it happen.

Seeing that they were about to reach the first zone, Gaode finally made a decision.

He took a deep breath and said heavily: "I can't find any reason to refuse, thank you very much."

It's not that he is greedy for money, it's just that Jelica gave him too much.

Giving so much and not asking anything from him.

Apart from pretending to be cool, he couldn't find any reason to refuse.

As for this favor being too great
Gao De didn't think that with Feng Ling and Yue Ying by his side, he would be unable to repay this favor in the future.

Jie Lika smiled at Godd and said, "Then I will give you 200 gold first, and the remaining 300 gold will be paid to you in installments, 50 gold every two months, and at the end of the school year, it will be exactly 500 gold."

First, the person who ranked first in credits was rewarded with 100 gold, and then there was 200 gold of "personal sponsorship" from Jelica.

Gaode's wallet suddenly became full.

From a pitiful 1 gold and 18 silvers, it increased to 301 golds, setting a new historical high.

With a fatter wallet, you will naturally feel more confident.

Gao De immediately went to the second floor of the library for the third time.

Still the familiar old wizard.

"36 credits?!"

After repeatedly confirming that the alchemy machine in his hand was correct, the old wizard returned the identity badge to Gao De with an incredible look on his face, still sighing:
"I've been in the academy for so many years, and I've never seen a student who can get so many credits in the first year."

Gao De smiled shyly and opened the spell list that was newly opened to him after reaching 30 credits.

Not only were there some new spells in the 0th-level spells that had not been there before, but even the 1st-level spells were also open to him.

But 1st level spells are for later.

Gaode’s primary goal now is to expand the number of spells in the spell library.

In Björn Otero's graduation project, the number "35" required to awaken super expertise was too abstract in God's opinion.

"40" is his psychological bottom line, and "45" is the safest.

There are a total of 0 newly unlocked 9-level spells: [Lesser Phantom], [Mana Explosion], [Friendship], [Frost Bite], [Poison Splash], [Blade Burst], [Borrowed Goodness], [Moonlight Arrow], and [Dead Man's Knell].

"These are all rare spell formulas. It is very rare for ordinary magician forces to have two or three rare spells."

"Only our academy has so many rare spell formulas, and they are all open to students." The old wizard introduced proudly.

Gao De nodded quickly to show his agreement.

The number of cantrips he has mastered has reached 32, and there are only two rare spells among them.

As you can imagine, rare spells are indeed rare. "And, even if it is a rare spell formula, the purchase price for students is still 6 gold coins per copy." The old wizard added.

This indeed shows that Seres College is very generous to its students.

"I want them all." Gao De took out 54 gold coins without hesitation and handed them to the old wizard.

This time, the old wizard was not surprised at all.

Any mage would have the same reaction when faced with a rare spell.

No matter whether it is practical or not, just have it first.

Gao De left the library with satisfaction.

After rushing back to his room, he could not wait to open the nine rare spell formulas he had just obtained as if they were treasures:
[Secondary Illusion] (Illusion, Level 0):

Creates an image of a sound or object within range (30 feet) that lasts until the spell's duration (1 minute) ends. You can also voluntarily dispel this spell to end the illusion.

If you choose to create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a high scream; it can be your voice or anyone else's, or it can be the roar of a lion, the sound of a drum, or any other sound you specify. The sound does not diminish over the duration of the spell, or you can create several discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

If you choose to create an image of an object (such as a chair, muddy footprints, a small box, etc.), the object must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image has no sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effects. Since the image can be penetrated by any object, any physical interaction with it will reveal the true nature of the illusion.

The stronger a creature's mental power is, the easier it is to see through illusions.

[Magic Explosion] (Evocation, Level 0):

Sends a burst of intense energy toward a creature within range (120 feet).

Launch a ranged spell attack on the target. If it hits, the target will be damaged by force field.

As you reach higher wizard levels, the spell can also create more rays at once, and you can decide whether they attack the same target or different targets separately.

[Friendship] (Enchantment, Level 0):

Designate a creature that is nonhostile toward you. All interactions you make with it for the spell's duration (up to one minute) are more likely to succeed.

When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you have manipulated its emotions with magic and becomes hostile toward you.

At this time, if the creature has violent tendencies, it will attack you directly, while non-violent creatures will seek other forms of revenge, depending on the specific content of your interaction with it.

Frostbite (Evocation, Level 0):

Causes one creature you can see within range (60 feet) to freeze.

The target will suffer freezing damage depending on its physical strength, and its movements will be slowed and restricted.

[Poison Spray] (Conjuration, Level 0):

Reach out with your hand and spray a burst of poisonous gas at a creature you can see within range (10 feet). The target takes poison damage.

[Blade Burst] (Conjuration, Level 0):

You instantly create a circle of translucent blades that sweep around you.

Every creature other than you within the spell's area (5 feet) takes damage.

[Borrowing Beauty and Goodness Temporarily] (Protection, Level 0):

You touch a creature, infusing it with life. If the target is not already dead, it gains temporary life force. The target cannot die until the temporary life force wears off, no matter how badly injured it is.

The stronger and more seriously injured the target is, the shorter the temporary vitality will last.

[Moonlight Arrow] (Evocation, Level 0):

Choose a creature within range (120 feet), and you fire an arrow of cool moonlight at it as a ranged spell attack.

If it hits, it deals radiant damage, and the target shines with dim moonlight 30 feet away.

Additionally, when you cast this spell in natural moonlight, the spell's damage is increased.

[Death Knell] (Necromancy, 0th level):

You point to a creature you can see within range (60 feet), and a mournful ringing sound fills the air.

The target will take a certain amount of necrotic damage depending on the strength of its mental power.

If the target was already damaged, the damage it takes from this spell is increased.
