Above the mage!

Chapter 331 Li Ou Meng's Magical Vein Network
"Master Naxi, could you please bring some more Meridian-Opening Tincture tomorrow? Two bottles are not my limit." Gao De thought of something else and said quickly, "I will pay for it."

Master Naxi glanced at Gao De and said, "That's easy. You are different from ordinary people in terms of drug resistance. Common experience does not apply to you, so I can't determine the most suitable dosage for you. You have to find the right balance yourself."

"As for the Qianmai-Opening Tincture, although it is a secret of the Sea Sentinels, it is not a particularly valuable potion. Therefore, the Sea Sentinels have always provided you newcomers with the Qianmai-Opening Tincture for free, which can be regarded as part of the welfare."

"Of course, in order to prevent people from abusing it or reselling it for ulterior motives, there is a certain limit to the free supply. If you exceed this limit, you have to pay for it yourself, and you have to submit an application stating the specific purpose of use."

As they talked, the two left the rooftop and walked down the stairs back to the art gallery.

At this time, the art gallery that was originally empty has become much more lively.

Dozens of Sea Sentinel mages in various outfits are in the magic gym, using the gym's alchemical equipment to perform various exercises whose uses are currently unknown.

For example, several Sea Sentinel mages are conducting training: starting an alchemical machine that looks like a magic crystal cannon, which will fire a ball of light that changes direction rapidly in three-dimensional space at an extremely fast speed and keeps moving.

And those sea sentinel mages just stood there, staring at the ball of light.

As if seeing Gao De's curiosity, Master Naxi explained to him casually: "This is used to train visual reaction. It is a kind of target tracking. It helps to improve the visual capture ability of long-range attack spells. You will also need to practice this later."

Because this was a subsequent training program, Master Naxi did not explain it in too much detail, but only mentioned it briefly.

These sea sentinel mages were all focused on their own training, so no one paid attention to Master Gaode and Master Naxi who came down from the rooftop.

“No need to send it.”

As Master Naxi declined, Gao De escorted him to the carriage and then returned to his "dormitory" which was diagonally across the street.

Although he had only attended the first class of this initial training, he could already get a glimpse of the whole picture.

As the oldest official wizard organization of the Plantagenet Dynasty, the system and knowledge of the battle wizards formed by the Sea Sentinels should be among the best in the entire continent.

And this is exactly what Gaode needs most.

He has great potential, but if he wants to fully develop it, a solid foundation is also very important.

Just like a talented athlete, after receiving professional training, their performance can improve dramatically in a short period of time.

That's all.

In the following time, Gaode continued to learn spells and practice rune construction.

White Tower of the Sea Abyss.

After leaving Collingwood Art Museum, Master Naxi did not go home but came here.

Arriving at Captain Merrick's office, he knocked on the door.

"Master Nasi, you're here." Captain Merrick opened the door himself with a smile on his face, and welcomed Master Nasi in.

He also took out a can of tea from the window nearby and personally made a cup of tea for the Naxi master.

"Sorry to trouble you with Gaode's matter," he said apologetically.

Master Nashi took a sip of the tea that Captain Merrick had prepared and said, "This is my duty."

"Well, what do you think of this God?" Captain Merrick asked, "The evaluation given to him by the people below is that he is a top talent."

"He does have talents that ordinary people don't have." Master Naxi gave an extremely positive evaluation.

"How about compared to Jaden?" Captain Merrick hesitated for a moment, but still uttered this somewhat "taboo" name, "How much difference is there?"

When Master Nasi heard the name, he looked at Captain Merrick deeply, without any expression on his face. He did not directly answer Merrick's question, but said calmly: "After my guidance today, he has already mastered the Infinite Breathing Method. Tomorrow he can start trying to build a new main magic vein."

When saying this, Master Naxi felt a little emotional in his heart. He really didn't expect that Gao De could master the Infinite Breathing Method within one day. No, to be more precise, it should be said within three times.

This young man is undoubtedly extremely talented.

"You have already mastered the Infinite Breathing Method in one day?" Captain Merrick's pupils shrank slightly when he heard what Master Nasi said.

"According to the records of our sea sentinels, how long did it take the fastest person to master the Infinite Breathing Technique?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Four days, but that was many years ago. The Sea Sentinel Mage who created this record is no longer with us. As for Jaden, it took him eight days."

Master Nasi had already thought about the question raised by Captain Merrick, so he gave the answer instantly.

"He has set a new record in mastering the Infinite Breathing Technique."

"This kid!!" Merrick's eyes sparkled and he exclaimed, "He really has great potential."

"Mastering the speed of breathing does not determine anything, not to mention that he has only mastered it initially and has not yet started to build the main magic power network." Master Naxi said this very calmly.

"That being said, it is indeed true." Merrick agreed with the cold water poured by Master Nasi.

Because breathing techniques are not unimportant for a mage, but they are really just a small part of the magic. Having talent in this area alone means nothing.

"But a true genius should be gifted in all aspects. Gao De has at least proved that he is talented in this area." Recognition aside, Merrick also has his own opinions.

"I came here today mainly to discuss with you. In his situation, what kind of magic vein network do you think is most suitable?"

Master Naxi did not want to go into details on this topic, so he just stated the purpose of his visit today.

"Let Gao De decide for himself. Judging from his performance in the retest, he should be considered a relatively standard ranged mage, but who knows if he has his own preferences?"

"You can recommend the Agana magic vein network to him. The double-helix magic vein structure for the hands created by Master Agana has the most significant bonus to the casting speed of spells released from both hands, which is just right for most long-range attack spells." Captain Merrick thought for a moment and finally said this.

Although as high-level mages, they definitely have more experience than Gaode.

But only you know yourself best, and know what is best for you and what you like most.

Therefore, in this step where a choice needs to be made, the Sea Sentinels usually follow the process where the guiding mage provides a reference and the mage makes the final choice.

The guiding master is only responsible for guidance, but not a real mentor.

Master Naxi was silent for a while before he stood up and said, "I understand."

Inside the "dormitory".

Gao De opened his eyes with some excitement.

Because he had just obtained the [Touch of the Ocean] yesterday, he was able to successfully construct the spell model in one go.

Concentrate your mind on the wind spirit and the moon shadow.

add a bit!

[Touch of the Sea+] (Transmutation, 1st level):

You cause the target to grow webbed feet between its fingers and toes. This spell does not grant the target any ability to breathe underwater.

Additional: The subject's energy utilization while swimming is improved, allowing him to swim longer distances with less effort.

This enhancement direction is in the same series as [Light Feather Step +]. Both are enhancement directions that don’t look special but are very practical.

Double happiness.

After mastering [Touch of the Ocean+], Goder's first-level spell library has expanded to 18.

Adding the five spell formulas in his hand that have not yet constructed spell models, his first-level spell library will soon reach 23.

With such a deep spell library, he is already considered a senior first-ring wizard.

The only flaw is that among so many first-level spells, there is only one attack spell, [Frozen Blade]. But Gao De is not in a hurry.

After all, he has joined the Sea Sentinels.

As a battle mage, are you still worried that you have no place to learn offensive spells?
With a slight feeling of joy, Gord arrived at the meditation room and began practicing the Dharma for the day.

Early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast in the "canteen", Gao De came to the Collingwood Art Museum.

It was still early and he was still the first to arrive; Master Naxi had not come yet.

Gao De followed his instructions yesterday and went to the small rooftop of the martial arts hall to "train his courage".

After yesterday’s attempts, Gaode has gradually gotten started with “building courage”.

Although I still can't do it as smoothly as walking on flat ground, at least I won't be as flustered as I was at the beginning.

About an hour later, Master Naxi appeared at the entrance of the rooftop.

After noticing the arrival of Master Naxi, Gao De immediately stopped practicing and bowed slightly to Master Naxi with respect.

"Your main task today is to choose a suitable magic network. Come with me." Master Naxi looked at Gaode and said expressionlessly.

"Okay, Master Naxi." Master Naxi's "indifference" did not affect Gaode's respect for him.

No matter in the past life or this life, Gao De always respects those who impart knowledge to him, no matter what their character is, as long as they have no moral problems or ill will towards him.

Following the footsteps of Master Naxi, Gao De went downstairs, walked out of the door, got on a "bus" of the Sea Sentinel, and drove towards the Haiyuan White Tower.

After getting off the carriage, Mage Naxi led Gao De directly into the Haiyuan White Tower. Using his identity badge, he took Gao De directly to the second floor of the Mage Tower, which he did not have the authority to enter, and came to a thick door.

It was still a matter of identity verification, and the thick door opened.

What came into view were rows of old bookshelves with bundles of rolled parchment piled on top and a unique smell of ink wafting to the face.

"This is one of the Sea Sentinel's libraries, which mainly collects various methods of building magic vein networks and some experiences of predecessors." Master Naxi said.

"Before that, let me first introduce to you what the magic vein network is."

"I told you the basics yesterday. Through the Infinite Breathing Method, we can rebuild a new main magic vein. During this process, our ancestors discovered that we can build different magic vein networks to suit different personal situations and give full play to our strengths."

Gao De thought about it and roughly understood what Master Naxi meant.

The simplest analogy is that when running and using the same leg muscles, long-distance runners mainly train slow-twitch muscles with smaller fiber diameters that are suitable for endurance activities, while sprinters train fast-twitch muscles with larger fiber diameters and strong explosiveness.

"For example, Bigby's magic vein network is directly connected to the magic veins in the skin and flesh of the limbs and torso. It is more conductive to transformation spells or spells that directly act on the body and require continuous consumption of mana."

"For example, the Agana Magic Vein Network has a double helix structure, which significantly increases the casting speed of long-range attack spells. I think it is quite suitable for you, so I recommend that you give it priority."

"I give these examples just to tell you a truth."

"There is no standard distinction between good and bad magic vein networks. The best one is always the one that suits you."

"The magic vein network you choose must be in line with your actual situation and future plans. Don't choose a magic vein network that is not suitable for you just to covet the ability of a certain magic vein network."

"I understand. Thank you, Master Naxi, for reminding me." Gao De thought for a moment and then said, "Can I know what magic vein networks there are?"

"All kinds of magic vein networks treasured by the Sea Sentinels are basically all here. You can look through them yourself." Master Naxi said, pointing to the bookshelf.

Gao De nodded, walked to the bookshelf, and took down a roll of parchment at random.

[Gareth's Magical Vein Network].

"Magic vein networks are also divided into major categories and minor categories. The Bigby magic vein network and Agana magic vein network mentioned earlier are both major categories, and this one is a minor category."

"Because it only has two straight main magic veins, connecting the soles of the feet to the mana storage area in the abdomen, and then leading to the sea of ​​magic stars. It only has a casting speed bonus for spells that act on the feet, such as [Long Stride]. It is too limited."

"Most people choose a large magic vein network based on their preferences, and then choose a few additional small magic vein networks based on their personal needs."

Godd put the [Gareth Magic Vein Network] back and took out a new piece of parchment.

[Isol Magical Vein Network], [Villendo Magical Vein Network].
In the introduction of Master Naxi, Gao De looked at all the magic vein networks. There were only about fifty of them in total, mainly small categories, and they were all named directly after the wizard who created the magic vein network.

Putting the last piece of parchment back, Gao De asked, "Master Naxi, is that all?"

"What?" Master Naxi was slightly surprised, "No one is satisfied?"

Gao De nodded calmly: "These are not comprehensive enough. Is there a magic network that can combine various spells?"

He is different from others.

It takes a very long time for others to learn spells, so under the condition of limited energy and time, they can only choose the best spells to learn according to their needs. Generally, they are systematic and can be connected with the magic network targeting a certain characteristic.

And he never refuses anyone who comes.

His spell library is too diverse, and there are always places that these magic veins cannot take care of.

"Not comprehensive enough?" Master Naxi was stunned for a moment, "Is this your future plan?"

Godard nodded again.

Master Naxi hesitated for a moment, but finally gave some advice: "Human energy is limited. If you want to be comprehensive, you are more likely to be mediocre in everything."

Gao De thought for a moment and said tactfully: "I feel that I still have enough energy for now."

"Then it's up to you," Mage Naxi paused and did not insist. After all, he was just Gaode's guiding mage. He thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a magic vein network that meets your requirements."

"It's just that no one has chosen it for a long time, and it was also considered by the high-level magicians of the Sea Sentinel to be an unusable magic network, so it was specially collected."

Gao De's eyes flickered.

"Can you show it to me?"

Master Naxi sighed, "Just wait."

After saying that, he left the library. A moment later, he came back with a scroll that was obviously much newer than the parchment scroll on the bookshelf and handed it to Gode.

Gao De quickly took it and opened the scroll.

[Leomon's magic network].

It turned out to be a magic vein network that met his requirements. Leo Meng's magic vein network was extremely comprehensive, requiring the construction of 365 main magic veins in the body, covering the entire body.

Furthermore, each main magic vein adopts several structures that are most suitable for their respective parts, allowing the builder to choose different magic veins according to his own spells.

In other words, in theory, constructing this magic vein network is equivalent to constructing all other magic vein networks in the library.

However, the need to take everything into consideration has resulted in the construction of this magic network being an unimaginably large undertaking.

For most mages, it is just a "face project" to spend a lot of time to build such a set of magic vein network, but most of the magic veins cannot be used.

No wonder it was put away.

But apparently, he was not among the majority of mages.

This is the magic network that suits him best.

Gao De took his eyes off the parchment in his hand, looked at Master Naxi and said seriously: "I choose this."
