Wizard: I can predict the future

Back at the manor.

Nord arrived at a newly built building next to the central stone building.

This building was only recently completed.

Its first floor is more than two meters high, but the next ten floors are only about half a meter high.

It doesn't look like an ordinary person's dwelling; rather, it resembles a specially separated nest box.

This is the place that Nord specifically uses to raise its companion insects.

The basement space was too small and inconvenient for the servants to feed the animals daily.

Nord stood outside the door, looking through the window into the building.

In the dark and damp nest chamber, spider webs were spread between the wooden frames, and every now and then a dark wolf spider would quickly crawl by.

Nord closed his eyes, and his mental energy slowly spread along the connection.

A moment later, he arrived at the accurate number.

"Six thousand three hundred and eighty-eight."

This number isn't huge, but it's enough to block some third-tier curses.

And soon, these tarantulas will reproduce again.

After breeding, their numbers will exceed 50,000.

At that time, even if he encounters a first-order curse, he can share a significant portion of the burden and gain a chance of survival at crucial moments.

Nord nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

Soon, he returned to his study in the central stone building.

He immersed his mental energy into the witchcraft he had purchased.

Time passes little by little.

Nord returned to his life of studying during the day and meditating at night.

It took him quite a while to truly master both of these witchcraft techniques.

Two more pieces of information have appeared on the panel.

[Vacuum-Cracked Ring (Zero-Ring First Order): Introduction]

【Wind Shadow Step (Zero Ring, Tier 1): Beginner】

【Mental Power: 231】

[Physical Fitness: 59]

【Magic Power: 4525】

[Source: 32.4]

Looking at the source on the panel, and the proficiency of the two spells.

Nord fell silent.

One month is enough time to learn it.

Is it really unnecessary to perform any deductions?

This thought kept popping into his mind.

Moreover, can he really be guaranteed safety in the mini-exam with just two beginner-level first-tier sorcery spells?

Thinking of this, Nord subconsciously recalled the manuscript he had obtained from the world of playing cards.

In the past, he might not have been able to see the true value of that manuscript.

But now he is no longer the novice who knew nothing about wizarding.

After occasionally flipping through books on alchemy during this period, he was basically certain that the manuscript was not simple.

It was a magical artifact that involved both construction and enchanting, two major aspects of alchemy.

This means that its level will never be too low.

At the very least, it's a zero-ring, first-tier magical artifact.

With this in mind, Nord didn't rush to make a decision.

He got up and left the study, going to the training ground behind Black Crow Manor.

This place was originally an abandoned horse ranch, but it has now been cleared out by the gray-skinned dwarves. A crystal ball is placed in the center, and iron mannequins are placed around it.

Nord stood in the center of the training field and slowly raised his right hand.

Magic flowed through the sea of ​​consciousness, slowly beginning to construct a complex model of witchcraft.

Three seconds later, the air suddenly became still.

Suddenly, a small area in front of us was forcibly emptied.

The next instant, a nearly transparent, one-person-high circular ring appeared.

Vacuum ring splitting.

Nord gave a gentle push with his fingertip.

The transparent ring flew out instantly.

boom!

A loud bang.

A string of numbers is displayed on the crystal ball.

【18350】

With Nord's current mastery of the Vacuum Rift Ring, he naturally couldn't unleash this spell by using only a little mental energy and consuming only a little magic power.

That attack just now was almost his full strength.

It took approximately fifteen points of mental energy and thirty points of magic power.

According to the crystal ball's estimation, the standard power of this spell is at least forty points.

However, the power of witchcraft does not increase linearly.

The more mental energy one uses, the more magic power one consumes, and the more elemental power one can leverage, ultimately increasing the overall power.

Nord estimates that, based on the standard release method, the standard power of a beginner's vacuum ring-breaking technique is approximately thirty-five points.

Looking at the crystal ball before him, Nord was still unable to properly perceive the power of this sorcery.

Numbers are just numbers after all.

The effects of witchcraft vary greatly depending on the target.

Thinking of this, Nord turned around and went to the other side of the training field, bringing out a metal dummy.

This was a test target he specially commissioned to be made. In addition to being covered in exquisite armor, it also had a low-grade enchanted metal plate inlaid on its chest.

While it can't compare to a real defensive magical artifact, it's sufficient for testing.

Nord slowly retreated to a distance of thirty meters.

The vacuum-sealed ring flew out again.

Unlike the collision with the crystal ball, this time there was no sound.

Only a very faint tearing sound could be heard.

Nord stepped forward.

The metal dummy had been completely split in two, and even the low-grade enchanted metal plate could not stop it for a moment.

Nord reached out and touched the edge of the crack.

The cut surface was not only flat, but several centimeters had even disappeared.

"As expected of a first-tier sorcery."

"This power could probably easily destroy a small building."

"The release speed is just too slow."

As he spoke, he looked at the stone building not far away.

He even considered giving it a try, but ultimately he suppressed the urge.

He then began testing the Wind Shadow Step.

With the completion of the witchcraft model.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, several faint airflow nodes floated and were faintly connected to the model in the sea of ​​spiritual energy.

Nord had a sudden thought.

The air beneath his feet suddenly changed.

He disappeared from the spot almost instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already dozens of meters away.

It was incredibly fast, leaving no afterimage whatsoever.

Nord looked down at his feet.

There were no obvious footprints on the ground, and the surrounding grass only swayed slightly a few times.

"It's not just about acceleration."

"It's more like using airflow nodes to complete short-distance displacement."

A flash of understanding crossed Nord's eyes.

The true power of Wind Shadow Step is not to make the body move faster, but to use the wind element to achieve a near-jumping movement by utilizing airflow nodes.

If used in complex battlefields, the value of this sorcery would likely exceed his expectations.

However, this witchcraft is not without its weaknesses.

Other wizards skilled in wind elemental magic can also sense airflow nodes and thus predict the landing location.

It continued until it got dark.

Nord then stopped practicing the two spells.

He had confirmed that the two spells were indeed effective, especially the Wind Shadow Step.

But that's far from enough.

At least, with his current strength, he cannot sustain a first-tier sorcery battle for an extended period.

Moreover, this college exam will last for a full two months.

Thinking of this, he turned around and went back to his study, where he found the manuscript covered with various patterns.

The manuscript before me clearly depicts an offensive magical artifact.

Nord was able to recognize some of the runes that formed energy structures.

Enchanted artifacts allow wizards to cast spells without consuming their magic or mental energy.

It is a special means of supplementing a wizard's combat power.

Just like the ring given to him by the King of the White Moon Kingdom.

Nord now knows that the ring is not a magical artifact at all, but a defective product.

However, he would not blame the King of the White Moon Kingdom, who might not be aware of this.

After all, even Evan only had two similar defective products.

Nord looked at the manuscript in his hand.

If he could forge this offensive magical artifact, he would have another truly unexpected trump card.

However, the problem is also obvious.

His mastery of alchemy was far inferior to his mastery of potions.

Rashly engaging in source point deduction may not yield the desired results.

Nord's gaze fell on the panel.

[Source: 32.4]

Thirty-two points of origin.

It can support three simulations.

After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind.

……

The power standards for first-tier wizards and second-tier spells have been modified here.

The range of second-tier sorcery has been changed from ten to fifty to ten to twenty.

The standard for first-tier wizards was not previously specified, but it has now been added in Chapter 38, ranging from twenty to fifty.

The standard power mentioned in the subsequent content of witchcraft is all about using a little mental energy to activate a little magical power.
