Above the mage!

Chapter 194 [Obtaining a Magic Pet +]

"Cough cough." The old wizard who was drinking tea was choked and coughed for a long time before he recovered.

He glared at Gao De fiercely, then said, "Choosing a cultivation method is such an important matter that you really need to think more about it. It's best to ask your mentor for advice before making a decision right away to determine the path you want to take in the future."

"But you kid." The old wizard snorted and threw over a piece of parchment with a list of first-level spells on it.

"First-level spells are the most numerous among all spell levels, but there are a few spells that can almost be called must-learns." Although the old wizard was angry, he still gave his suggestions in time.

"You can give priority to these four spells: [Language Comprehendence], [Mage Armor], [Shield], and [Endurance]. Don't worry about the damage spells. If you upgrade the spells by one level, the power of most cantrips will be improved, which will be enough for you to use now."

"A first-ring spell recipe costs 25 gold." The old wizard reminded again.

He had long seen that Goder was not a noble wizard, but was probably from a commoner family. "And for each first-level spell, the corresponding potion requires about 40 gold in raw materials."

"In other words, if you want to master a first-level spell, not to mention the time and energy, you first need to prepare about 65 gold."

65 gold. Gaode calculated that his current savings were 240 gold and 18 silver.

Even if you use all of it to learn spells, you can only master three first-level spells.
They say the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts, but compared to the mage, they are nothing.

Mage, that's simply burning money!
"My credits now exceed 50. Are there any additional discounts?" Gao De suddenly thought of something.

The old wizard was startled when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously, "If your credits are over 50, a first-level spell formula will only cost you 20 gold."

Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "It's only been two months since the start of the second school year, and your credits have exceeded 50?"

Gao De handed over his identity badge and spread his hands, saying, "It's easier to learn. There's nothing I can do about it."

"【Language Proficiency】, 【Environmental Tolerance】, 【Shield Spell】." He put down the parchment in his hand, listened carefully, and selected the three spells.

After the old wizard verified Gaode's credits and confirmed that they were correct, he quietly walked into the library at the back and took out the three spell formulas that Gaode needed.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

But Gao De was not finished yet. He looked through the three spell recipes, and after confirming them, he raised a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Why do the spell potions I see recorded on the spell recipes have no corresponding mixing steps?"

"This will be mentioned in the second stage of the Mage Fundamentals course. You have been promoted too quickly, so you don't know it yet." The old mage did not look at Gao De with the eyes of a "savage" this time, and explained patiently:
"Because spell potions are not actually potions in essence. You can just treat them as materials for building spell models."

"The magician can use mental power to hold the stars and construct the spell model. However, starting from the first level of magic, because the stars have become heavier, mental power is not enough to support the establishment of the spell model as a skeleton. It is necessary to use magic potions."

"For spell potions, what's important is all the properties of the materials themselves."

"So, you only need to mix them together according to the amount in the recipe. It's not like other potions that need to be magicked in advance and the medicinal properties must be precisely controlled during the mixing process."

"If you have a good appetite, you can even eat the main and auxiliary ingredients of the magic potion raw. Of course, most people can't swallow them, so I suggest you boil them into liquid medicine before taking them."

The old wizard spread his hands and said, "If magic potions also need to be prepared like regular potions, then the head of the three royal families would not be the rune master, but the potion master."

Indeed, once magic potions needed to be prepared by a potion master, then alchemy would inevitably become knowledge that every wizard must master. How could its status be what it is today?
All his questions were answered and Gao De left the library with satisfaction.

After returning to the first area, he thought about it and took out the spell formula of "Obtain a Magic Pet" that he had obtained through a transaction with Master Ral. At that time, he also obtained the corresponding spell potion.

In other words, he can now try to construct a spell model for the spell.

As a new first-ring mage, Gaode is feeling the novelty of the new skill and can’t wait to experience the power of first-ring magic.

He immediately went to the meditation room and disassembled the spell model.

Compared to cantrips, [Gain a Familiar], as a first-level spell, has thirty-seven spell nodes.

In other words, you need to control thirty-seven spell stars to build a spell model.

Compared with magic tricks, the difficulty is not just one or two times higher.

Even the time required to memorize the ternary array increased significantly after it increased from about ten to thirty-seven.

But this is Gaode's forte after all, so he quickly completed this step.

Then, Gao De took out a magic potion the size of Fengyoujing, opened the bottle cap, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.

The sticky light green liquid immediately slid into the mouth. It tasted quite good and even had a faint fragrance.

But the strange thing was that this magic potion did not go down the esophagus into the stomach, but vaporized instantly in Gode's mouth, and then turned into a feeling of lightness, rushing straight into the depths of his mind.

The whole process only takes a few seconds.

"Is that the end?" Gao De couldn't help but be surprised.

He quickly entered a state of concentration, his mind immersed in the sea of ​​magic.

Sure enough, in the magical star sea, a group of light green "cloud" had suddenly appeared.

Gaode no longer hesitated and began to pull the stars in the first ring of the magic star sea, bringing them closer to the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow".

Then, according to their respective coordinates, like the military training of college students, these "naughty monkeys" are commanded to go to where they should go according to their respective coordinates.

I don’t know if it’s a benefit for novices or what, but in any case, Gaode successfully arranged the positions for all 37 stars in one go.

He suppressed his joy, and controlled his mental strength as steady as an old dog to pull the light green cloud again.

Using the clouds transformed from the magic potion as a bridge, Gode began to slowly connect the stars of [Obtaining Magic Pet].

The bridge made of magic potion should actually be called Star Track, and occasionally a light green light will flow through it.

When Gaode connected all thirty-seven stars, the light green light became more obvious.

The star tracks formed by thirty-seven stars are like a complex constellation, formed in Gaode's magical star sea.

"Successful?" Gao De suddenly opened his eyes, unable to believe it.

After the complexity of the spell model increased significantly, he was prepared for a tough battle, but he didn't expect that the first time he built a first-level spell model would be so smooth.

His consciousness moved slightly, and he opened the simple information panel of "Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow".

Sure enough, the spell column has been expanded.

Spells:

0 ring——【Repair+】.
1st ring - [Get a magical pet]

You have to master at least one first-level spell before you can confidently call yourself a first-level wizard!

Look at the flashing yellow "+" sign behind the [Get Magic Pet] entry.

Gao De did not hesitate at all. His mind moved slightly, and the only point of the origin [Phantom Thorn Centipede] was already pointed at [Obtain Magic Pet].

This is a rare spell, it's worth it!

With Gaode's "adding points", the Big Dipper representing the origin of [Phantom Thorn Centipede] in Fengling Yueying has already moved out and crashed into the spell model of [Gain Magic Pet] that he just constructed.

It’s still the familiar “cutscene”.

The spell model constantly grows new branches, and also has light green star tracks, exactly the same as the spell potion.

Finally, the [Gain Magic Pet] spell model composed of thirty-seven stars turned into the [Gain Magic Pet+] spell model consisting of fifty-two stars.

[Gain Magic Pet +] (Conjuration, 1st level):

You summon a 1st-level familiar to serve you.

You can choose one of the following animals as the "family" to which you will receive the magical familiar: bat, cat, crab, frog, toad, eagle, lizard, octopus, owl, venomous snake, fish, piranha, mouse, raven, seahorse, spider, weasel.

You cannot have more than one familiar at a time with this spell.

Additional: The familiar you summon is no longer limited to the original "family" or animals, but can be expanded to any 1st-level creature as long as it is willing to respond to your call.
