Above the mage!

Chapter 305 [Spell Stabilization]

The golden ocean is sparkling.

This is a magnificent picture that has never been seen on the snowfield. It is also a scenery that the Zhenbing people, and even all the people in the North, have never seen or even dreamed of.

The permafrost tundra seems to be inherently associated with desolation and coldness.

The word "harvest" is too unfamiliar to this place.

But now, such a scene appeared vividly before their eyes.

So much so that, at first, everyone's reaction was to doubt whether they had not woken up yet and were living in a dream.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths, feeling dry mouth and tongue, and even breathing became difficult.

The dark crowd seemed to be frozen.

Under everyone's gaze, Sunaifa took a light step forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with Goder, and then waved his hand gently.

The Iceborn mages who formed the human wall immediately understood.

An invisible ghost hand floated out, swept across the front of the wheat field, plucked handfuls of heavy Northwest Barley No. 1, and then scattered it to the crowd watching under everyone's gaze.

The golden wheat grains shone with an alluring luster in the sun, and at this moment they were no different from ordinary gold.

As soon as it was thrown into the crowd, it immediately caused a sensation.

Everyone stretched out their hands high, scrambling to catch those precious grains of wheat.

They tremblingly stuffed the wheat grains in their hands into their mouths. Many of them did not even peel the husks, and seemed not to care about the tingling taste at all.

The rich wheat aroma instantly filled my mouth, followed by a faint warm current that flowed throughout my body.

"It really is barley. Such a fragrant barley." Someone murmured to himself, his voice full of disbelief and joy.

"We can now grow barley in the North"

"Is this true?" More people repeated the question.

At the right time, Sunaifa spoke again.

Her cold voice, although not loud, clearly penetrated the entire venue and reached everyone's ears.

"This is Northwest Barley No. 1. It is the food that our king Gaode brought to the North, to Zhenbing, and to everyone."

"Someone is coming from the top of the mountain."

"He will save the children of the Iceborn from hunger."

"With his help, Zhenbing will surely be gloriously revived!"

"All members of the True Ice tribe, all members of the Ice Clan, we have waited too long for this day. From your ancestors, from your grandfathers' grandfathers, they have been waiting for this day to come, waiting for our king to come. They didn't wait until today, but you did."

"My king has arrived."

“Believe in Him, welcome Him, and follow Him.”

"We are willing to loyally follow our king with our own lives!"

At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe. After Sunaifa's voice fell, there was silence for a full ten seconds.

Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, were silent for ten seconds at the same time, with even their breathing so weak that it was undetectable. What kind of scene would that be?
Many people may not be able to imagine such a scene.

Such a large group of people can consciously maintain silence for such a long time without any external coercion.

Everyone was staring at Gode on the ice platform.

There is conviction and admiration for the leader in his eyes.

That fiery and sincere gaze made Gao De feel itchy and even made him want to turn around and run away.

But he held back, gritted his teeth, stood still, and sighed in his heart:
Sunaifa usually looks like a typical "cruel man who doesn't talk much", but once he opens his mouth, his ability to incite is comparable to that of a charlatan.

Finally, after ten seconds of silence.

In the front row, a member of the Zhenbing tribe knelt down on his knees.

"My King! God!" he shouted in the most pious tone.

Just like dominoes, with the first person kneeling down, at this moment, the other Zhenbing people, as if they had been enlightened, also knelt down in unison.

Everyone was shouting with red eyes.

The miracle appeared before their eyes. Regardless of whether they believed or not in the prophecy left by War Mother Orethia, at this moment, they all knelt down devoutly and shouted.

Some people even shed tears of excitement.

I cried because I saw hope, I cried because I thought of my loved ones who starved to death in the past, and I cried because I was moved.

The high virtue at this moment is synonymous with sacredness and solemnity.

Looking at this scene, an indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction filled Gaode's heart.

It is difficult to understand the feeling of people completely trusting you if you have not experienced it yourself.

This is the power of faith and spirit.

It was only then that he suddenly realized:

This harvest festival not only enhances the Zhenbing people's recognition of the tribe, but also increases their own sense of identity with the Zhenbing tribe.

Gao De took advantage of the high spirits of the crowd and said loudly:

"This is just the beginning, let's celebrate this glorious beginning!"

“Enjoy the day!”

A huge brazier standing next to the ice platform was burning with a vibrant fire.

With a bang, the flame heart stretched high into the air.

The brazier was thoroughly lit, also igniting the atmosphere on the scene.

The last time it was this lively was at the Ancient Frost Mouth, during the ancient Iceborn ritual spell held at Sunaifah.

And this time, there was no ceremony, just a pure celebration!
The celebration lasted all morning, but the aftermath is still lingering.

Phoenix is ​​filled with joy and excitement.

City Hall, Godet's office.

The warm midday sun shone through the window, casting a golden edge on the woman's silver hair.

Her eyes shone with a faint blue light, brighter than the purest gold sapphires, and her body was leaning against the door at just the right angle.

"You have given me a surprise." Gao De raised his head, his eyes swept across the other person's face and figure, and he felt his heart beat slightly.

Sunaifa's speech at the harvest festival celebration was not told to him in advance.

"Many tribesmen have not really known you yet," Sunaifa said, "their knowledge of you comes from prophecies."

"Okay." Gode certainly wouldn't blame Sunaifah for this.

"I heard that our king is preparing to leave the North?" Sunaifa asked again softly.

Gao De nodded, "Yes, leave for now."

Afterwards, he introduced Yugatshila's "Astral Teleportation" ability and his own considerations in detail to Sunaifa. Obviously, the reasons he gave made it impossible for Sunaifa to raise any objections.

"Can only one person teleport to the star realm?" Sunaifa asked with a slight frown.

"At least for now." Goder affirmed.

"Then can you change someone? For example, change me." Sunaifa's blue eyes showed no emotion, and he looked at Gao De calmly: "With my strength, it's safer, and I can bring back more things."

She has always been a straightforward woman who doesn't like to pretend, and even less likes to beat around the bush.

Gao De spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yugatshila is my bonded sacred object, so it can transform the ability of astral teleportation into a brand and bestow it on me."

"If it were you, you could leave, but if you want to come back, you'll have to walk back on your own."

"The world outside is so big, and Yugatshira's astral teleportation ability is completely random. If you are unlucky, you may even be teleported to the Atrium Continent or the Terra Continent."

"If it really happens, it's not just a question of how long it will take to get back, but whether you can get back at all."

The North is located at the northernmost tip of the Nora continent and is also the most cornered location. If you are teleported to the other two continents, wanting to come back is almost equivalent to crossing across or across the entire plane.

"The Zhenbing Tribe cannot be without a War Mother."

Sunaifa lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then raised his head and looked directly at Gao De, his expression extremely serious, "The Zhenbing tribe cannot be without their king either."

"Don't worry, I have the ability of astral teleportation given by Ygatshira. Even if I encounter danger, just give me ten seconds and I can activate the astral teleportation and return to Valar Bay."

"Ten seconds."

"It can't be that there is no risk at all. There is no such cheap thing in the world. Compared with the benefits that can be obtained, this risk is not worth mentioning." Gao De affirmed.

This is absolutely true, and Sunaifa did not refute it.

"My king, you are too young. Why don't you wait another year or two?" she said softly.

You are only a few years older than me, why do you speak to me in that tone. Gao De complained in his heart. After all, Sunaifa's actual age is not even 22 years old. According to his psychological age, he is even older - before he traveled through time, he was already .

However, Gao De also knew that what Sunaifa meant by this sentence was that his strength was too weak, so she was really a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm not weak in the first ring, and I'll bring the North Wind with me." Gao De said calmly.

Since Gaode was so persistent, Sunaifa naturally couldn't stop his will.

"Okay," Sunaifa considered his words and reminded softly, "My king, even if you have [North Wind], it's best not to fight against a high-level mage easily."

"My situation is ultimately an exception, and I was able to do it with the help of [Blizzard] and [Breath of the Wild]." She was referring to the time when she went through the ring and killed Ryan.

"The high-level mages suppress the low-level mages in all aspects."

"In addition to the differences in basic abilities such as mana and mental strength, the new specialties that can be awakened, and the high-level spells that can be mastered, every time a mage's level is increased by one level, he will also gain a transformation in the essence of his life."

"This transformation in the life level is also a form of suppression."

Sunaifa rarely "talked a lot", and what he said was something that Gaode was very interested in, so he listened very carefully: "What exactly is metamorphosis?"

"A first-level mage gains the ability of 'precise perception', which allows him to intuitively and accurately perceive his own state."

Gao De nodded slightly.

This ability may not seem to be of much help to combat power, but in fact it can accurately perceive one's own state. In another sense, it can also better exert one's combat power.

Its improvement in combat power is implicit, but it does exist.

Sunaifa continued, "A second-ring mage will gain the ability to 'elementalize the body'. The magic power in the body will radiate to the body, and one will be able to choose an element to strengthen the body, which is called elementalization, thereby gaining resistance to the corresponding element."

The ability of "elemental body" is quite intuitive in improving combat power.

Translated into common words, it means increasing magic resistance, but it is limited to a certain element.

"The changes to the third-ring mage are not that big. On the basis of the second-ring mage, he can choose two more elements to elementalize his body, and has a total of three elements of spell resistance."

Obtained, magic resistance*3.

“As for the Fourth Ring Road, that’s the watershed.”

"In the mage world, a mage is considered to have truly entered the ranks of high-level mages only after he reaches the fourth ring."

"One very important reason is that after becoming a fourth-ring mage, the brain will be highly developed. At this time, the mage will break through the limits of human beings and no longer need to rest."

"No longer need to rest?" If "elemental body" was still within Gaode's cognition, then not needing to rest was completely beyond his cognition and incomprehensible.

Sleep is a key factor in maintaining normal physiological functions of the human body.

"That's what I mean, but the essence is that when the brain is highly developed, most physiological activities no longer require the full use of the brain."

"In this case, the brain is like two people dividing the work, one is awake to do the work, and the other is sleeping and resting, and so on."

"Only when faced with some high-intensity tasks will two people work together."

"This ability causes a fourth-ring mage to stay awake all the time," Sunaifa explained.

"I see." Gao De tapped the table with his fingertips, but his mind was inappropriately thinking about other things - if there were wizards in his previous life, 996 would be nothing, 007 would be the top one.

In this case, it is actually equivalent to extending life in disguise.

Before becoming a fourth-ring wizard, a person must rest for at least 6-9 hours a day. After being promoted to a fourth-ring wizard, it is no doubt that the rest time saved is equivalent to extending lifespan.

"Where is the Five Rings Mage?" Since Sunaifa had mentioned this, Gaode's interest was aroused and he continued to ask.

Although there is no five-ring mage in the Zhenbing tribe, there has definitely been one before. Logically speaking, they must know something about the relevant situation.

"A five-ring mage has a soul that is strong enough to connect to the soul realm and gain the power of the soul realm. Some mages also call the soul realm a domain." Sunaifa did not introduce the five-ring mage in too much detail, but he did reveal another piece of information.

"The Five Rings are actually a watershed for Iceborn mages."

"Before the fifth ring, the strength of us Iceborn mages is not much different from that of mages from the outside world. In fact, Iceborn mages are even stronger. This is because the spells we can awaken are mostly combat spells, while mages from the outside world often learn many functional spells. This makes them more comprehensive than us, but at the same time their combat power is slightly inferior to ours."

You generally can't have your cake and eat it too.

This makes sense.

"But when we got to the fifth ring, the situation was reversed."

"Why?" Gao De was extremely surprised when he heard this for the first time.

"Because of the [Spell Permanence]." Sunaifah said.

"[Spell Constancy] is also a functional spell created by an outside mage, but its functionality is so powerful that it can reverse the original difference between the strong and the weak with just this one spell."

"This is a functional spell that can stabilize certain spells and make the duration of these spells permanent."

"This means that once a mage has mastered the [Spell Permanence], he can make spells that are helpful in combat and daily life permanent as needed, thus saving them a lot of mana and casting time."

"This is especially important for spells that need to maintain their effects for a long time, such as defensive spells or environmental control, healing, and support spells."

"The most basic ones are constant [Language Proficiency], [Detect Magic], and [Dark Vision]. In terms of combat, they are constant [Increase Resistance], [Magic Fang], etc."

"A wizard who has mastered the [Spell Permanence] will only die in fair combat and will no longer be harmed by assassinations, poisons, etc."

"Because of its incomparable importance, this spell is also regarded as a treasure among secret traditions. Its preciousness is far beyond ordinary."

"Any mage organization that has the formula for the [Spell of Permanence] spell will keep it secret to an unimaginable degree and will never easily pass it on to others. It can be said to be one of the most expensive pieces of knowledge."

"So, even in the outside world, not all five-ring mages can learn this spell, let alone in the North."
