Wizard: I can predict the future

Mia immediately became interested when she heard Nord's question.

Usually, she was the one asking all sorts of questions, but now that someone less capable than her had finally come along, she felt a sense of exhilaration.

She slowly raised the jade in her hand.

"This thing is called a Nightmare Stone, but I finally managed to get one from Senior Brother Velos."

Upon hearing this, Nord firmly memorized the wizarding world's naming conventions for Originium.

"Nightmare Stone?"

"What's the use of this?"

Actually, what he cared about most was how rare it was and how many magic stones it was worth.

Upon hearing this, Mia looked at Nord and seemed to see herself when she first stepped into the wizarding world.

"The main purpose of the Nightmare Stone is actually to enter the Nightmare World, but that's not really relevant to us."

As she spoke, she slowly channeled her magic power, pouring it into the Nightmare Stone.

The next moment, an invisible wave spread out.

"As for its uses, there are many."

Mia smiled and gently touched the Nightmare Stone with her fingertips.

"The most widely used of these is the creation of illusions."

The air swayed slightly.

Nord felt the scenery before him change instantly, just like when he first entered the world of poker.

The control panel and equipment in front of me all became blurry.

Instead, there was a dark woodland.

The wind whistled softly, and the shadows swayed.

Even the damp chill in the air felt so real it created an illusion.

"The illusions created with Nightmare Stones are almost indistinguishable from reality."

Mia's voice came from beside me.

But Nord looked around and couldn't find her anywhere.

The next moment, a dark shadow flashed past deep in the woods.

It rushed toward Nord at an extremely high speed.

Before Nord could even react, the dark figure rushed into his arms.

He instinctively tried to dodge, but found that there was nothing unusual at all.

The woodland in front of us disappeared again.

Mia reappeared in front of him.

"But this is ultimately just an illusion; it can't harm anyone except to confuse them."

"However, this is not absolute."

"Some wizards who are proficient in the art of illusion can use Nightmare Stones to achieve a state of illusion that blurs the line between reality and illusion."

As Nord listened to Mia's explanation, he couldn't help but recall the monster that had suddenly appeared when the giant ship docked.

An idea popped into his mind.

"Could it be that a wizard used the Nightmare Stone to test us back then, but something went wrong halfway through, and I unfortunately got caught up in the Nightmare Realm?"

He kept this thought to himself and didn't show it, then looked up at Mia.

"What kind of world is the Nightmare World?"

"How is it different from the Wizarding World?"

Mia paused upon hearing this.

"Actually, I don't really know what the Nightmare World is like either."

She gently scratched her cheek, her tone hesitant.

"However, I've heard from Senior Brother Velos that it's an absurd and bizarre world."

"In some places, even formal wizards or even second-level wizards have to be careful, or they can easily get lost."

"And some places are like a fairy tale world, peaceful and serene."

Mia frowned as she spoke.

"Professor Vickers said that you shouldn't be surprised by anything you encounter in the Nightmare Realm."

"Perhaps the Nightmare Realm is the world in the dreams of all living beings; no one can say for sure."

Nord nodded, finally gaining a vague understanding of the Nightmare Stone and the Nightmare World.

His gaze fell once again on the Originium in Mia's hand, his tone remaining calm.

"Could the Nightmare Stone have been brought out from the Nightmare World?"

"How much? How many magic stones would it cost?"

Upon hearing this, Mia immediately gave her a look that said, "What are you thinking?"

"purchase?"

She shook the Nightmare Stone in her hand, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"This is something that almost no one would put up for sale."

She held up her finger, indicating a very small distance.

"First of all, Nightmare Stones only appear occasionally in the Wizarding World, except in the Nightmare World, under very rare circumstances."

"Moreover, this thing is very practical. Wizards can use it to create illusions to disguise themselves."

"In some dangerous areas, this is a rare way to save one's life."

"There are also rumors that carrying it on your person can slowly enhance your mental strength."

She thought for a moment before giving a general range.

"If we're really talking about price, something this size would cost at least several thousand magic stones, and it's practically priceless."

Upon hearing this, Nord immediately abandoned the idea of ​​buying it.

For a moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

I only regret that I don't have enough money.

Based on the source energy provided by the previously absorbed source stones, this source stone in front of us should provide about six or seven points of source energy.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a considerable gain.

Currently, the price of Nightmare Stones far exceeds the value they can actually generate.

Unless one day he has so many magic stones that he doesn't need to care anymore.

……

Early the next morning.

Nord arrived at the library early.

Today, he is preparing to exchange some witchcraft for some spells.

Although Ash Academy did not make witchcraft freely available to its wizarding apprentices, the price of redeeming points was not expensive.

Compared to the selling price on Back Corner Street, it's practically a bargain.

Zero-level Tier 3 magic can be exchanged for between 10 and 30 points, Tier 2 magic for between 40 and 80 points, and Tier 1 magic for between 100 and 200 points.

This time, Nord did not stay on the first floor.

Instead, they went straight to the second floor of the library.

The moment he stepped to the top of the stairs, an invisible wave of magic swept over him and landed on the identity plaque on his chest.

Nord knew that this was the library's detection mechanism.

Only those with sufficient academy points can advance to the second level; otherwise, they will be blocked by an invisible force.

He went up to the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor has no books, let alone tables and chairs.

We didn't even see a single person.

Only a few crystal balls floated in different positions.

Upon seeing this, Nord walked up to a crystal ball without hesitation.

As one's mental energy sinks into it, a mechanical female voice is heard.

"Level 0 student, Nord has been connected to the Ash Academy's magic network."

"Based on your permissions, only zero-ring tier 3 and zero-ring tier 2 sorcery are available."

To view more witchcraft models, please upgrade your privilege level.

Immediately afterwards, Nord saw a dense array of witchcraft names.

He didn't rush to choose a spell, but looked at them one by one.

However, these witchcraft spells only show their names and effects.

Even so, it broadened his horizons.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Nord ultimately chose two forms of witchcraft.

Levitation, worth 10 points; Magic Shield, worth 40 points.

The levitation spell can make objects float, and it can also be used on wizards.

Levitation is the only sorcery demonstrated that allows one to fly.

Magic Shield is a defensive spell carefully selected by Nord.

Unlike many defensive spells that focus on physical protection or are specifically designed to defend against a particular type of attack, this spell belongs to the Evocation school of magic.

A magic shield is a shield forcibly constructed using magic.

Its advantages are obvious; it can provide a certain degree of defense against both physical collisions and magical attacks.

Of course, the disadvantages are also very obvious, namely that its defensive power is not as good as that of a defensive sorcery specializing in one.

But for Nord as it is now, it is quite suitable.

After all, he doesn't have many points to exchange for witchcraft right now, and he's not sure what dangers he might encounter in the future.

Rather than choosing a defensive spell that can only deal with specific situations, it is better to choose the spell Magic Shield.
