Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 70 Super Magic Techniques (Seeking First Subscription)

The most important thing right now is definitely building the Will Rune.

The earlier you improve your mental attributes, the greater the long-term benefits will be.

However, considering that we may have to fight against infidels in the future, it is also necessary to enhance our combat capabilities.

Pei Ze pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Omniscient, consumes the power of rules to accelerate the silent casting of the spell."

There are currently two ways to quickly improve combat skills.

One is to master more spells.

One is to master super magic skills.

Spellcasting has always been one of the most obvious weaknesses of wizard apprentices in combat.

In the ever-changing battle, half a second can determine many things, let alone a second or two of chanting time.

Therefore, many wizard apprentices would arrange for knights to hold off the enemy in front of them during battle, buying themselves time to cast spells.

The ability to cast spells silently can mitigate this weakness to some extent.

A wizard who has mastered the art of silent spellcasting can silently recite incantations and then release them at the right moment, catching the enemy off guard at crucial moments.

This technique is even more useful when facing experienced enemies.

Many alien races that frequently fight against wizards can predict the spells a wizard will cast next by reading incantations, and then prepare a countermeasure.

However, this experience is useless when encountering a wizard who can cast spells silently.

It's worth noting that silently casting spells simply involves reciting the incantation in your mind; it doesn't actually reduce the preparation time for casting.

This is far inferior to instant-cast spells.

Only wizards who master the skill of instant spellcasting can truly overcome the weakness of casting spells and incantations.

The moment the command was given, countless pieces of knowledge and insights appeared out of thin air in Pei Ze's mind.

He closed his eyes to process the information for a moment, then opened them, raised his finger, and a dazzling light suddenly emanated from his fingertip.

Light spell!

In a mere instant, he successfully mastered the art of silent spellcasting, a super-magical skill that almost only wizards could master.

Looking at the light at his fingertips, Pei Ze smiled with delight.

With the ability to silently cast spells, he has more options available in combat.

Especially when facing opponents who like to talk nonsense, you can play along for a while, then take the opportunity to stack ten or twenty layers of mage armor on yourself, and give your opponent a big surprise when the fight starts.

Coming back to his senses from his joy, Pei Ze thought for a moment and silently recited, "Omniscient, analyze the instant casting technique of spells."

[Task created to begin analyzing instant-cast spell techniques, estimated time 491 days]

Pei Ze clicked his tongue in amazement; the analysis time was much longer than the silent casting of a spell.

Even if he used all the remaining power of the rules, it wouldn't be enough.

"No wonder instant spell casting is considered one of the most difficult super magic techniques."

Spell power, spell range, spell extension, spell delay, and compound casting are all considered super magic techniques.

Among the many super magic techniques, compound casting and instant spell casting are widely recognized as the two most difficult super magic techniques.

Pei Ze then issued an order to analyze the spell's effectiveness. The feedback indicated that the analysis time was as long as 312 days, still significantly longer than the time it would take to cast the spell silently.

The other super magic techniques are all pretty much the same.

"It seems that silently casting spells is the easiest super magic technique."

Pei Ze shook his head, deciding to wait until his mental attribute was higher before analyzing other super magic techniques; for now, he should focus on mastering more spells.

Ultimately, super magic techniques enhance spellcasting; without sufficient spell support, these techniques are nothing but castles in the air.

Returning his attention to the spells, Pei Ze analyzed the spells Missile, Fireball, and Fear in one go.

As the name suggests, Fireball releases a fireball that inflicts both explosion and burning damage. It is the most commonly used first-level offensive spell for wizard apprentices.

The effect of the spell missile is to release missiles formed by the convergence of magical energy, ranging from three to ten, depending on the caster's mental strength and magical skill.

A single spell missile is far less powerful than a fireball, but it has the advantage of being numerous, making it a group attack spell.

Furthermore, the spell missile has a powerful characteristic—as long as the target is visible, the spell missile will definitely hit!

Regardless of whether the target is hidden or concealed, as long as the target appears in the caster's field of vision at the moment the spell is cast, the subsequent attack will definitely hit.

The caster can also decide the target of each spell missile individually.

Of course, it is not possible to specify the hit location.

The terror spell is a crowd control spell that can cause living beings within a certain range to be gripped by fear and flee in all directions.

"We have defense, single-target attacks, area-of-effect attacks, and crowd control spells; that's enough to handle most situations."

"We'll deal with the remaining spell analysis and improvements later."

After all that, I still have 310 points of Rule Power left.

Pei Ze devoted all his energy to constructing will runes.

18号、19号、20号、21号、22号.

In the blink of an eye, five new will runes took shape deep within Pei Ze's mind.

The surge of energy brought a sense of fulfillment that made his head throb slightly, but once he got used to it, it was a refreshing feeling like drinking sweet spring water, as if his whole being had been elevated in an instant.

"call"

Pei Ze breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with joy.

"Omniscient, detect my current state."

【Spirit 89.53】

[Body Condition 49.19]

The spirit boost exceeded 17 points!

Pei Ze was delighted. At this rate, the remaining 10 Will Runes could bring at least 40 points of mental boost.

In this way, the remaining mental energy gap will be only about forty points, which he can meet in a little over two months with his current average daily mental energy growth of nearly 0.6.

If there were items like hallucinogenic potions that enhance mental power, the time could be even shorter.

"His physique is almost at the level of a high-level Grand Knight."

Pei Ze sighed inwardly.

The power of rules he gained from a single Truth Realm was equivalent to more than half a month of his cultivation.

If he had another chance, he would soon be able to meet the standard for condensing spiritual crystals.

After recovering from his initial excitement, Pei Ze issued three more mission orders.

[Task 1: Analyze Rune #23, estimated time 98 days]

[Task 2: Improve the Fireball spell model, estimated time 85 days]

[Task 3: Improve the spell missile model, estimated time 82 days]

"With nearly 90 points of mental strength, one acceleration can reduce the mission time by thirty-seven or thirty-eight days, and on average, it takes two to three days to construct a will rune or improve a spell."

Thinking about it this way, Pei Ze couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It takes a full-fledged wizard several months to improve a first-level spell, but he only needs two or three days. That speed is truly astonishing!

As his mental strength increased, the power of his all-knowing eye became increasingly terrifying.

It's hard to imagine how far it will grow in the future; it's truly something to look forward to.

"I don't report for duty until three days later, so I need to do some preparations in the meantime."

The mission will last for a month, so Wuyu and Xiaoyi need to make sure they have enough food supplies during this time.

In addition, Pei Ze also planned to refine some activating potions and blood-boosting potions for emergencies.

early morning.

The light morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the entire outer city remained shrouded in tranquility and peace.

Pei Ze stood in front of the gate of the garrison, gazing at the city guard garrison located in the northern part of the outer city.

The city guard is primarily responsible for maintaining order in Dawn City, including the pursuit and suppression of heretics.

The city guard was mainly composed of knights and wizard apprentices.

Besides the city guards, Dawn City also has two other well-known legions: the Silver Legion and the Golem Legion.

These two legions are primarily responsible for external operations, including fighting against other wizarding cities and venturing into other dimensions.

Both legions have a large number of wizards serving in them, making them the most elite military forces in Dawn City.

In addition, there is a slave army, mainly composed of Dilo barbarians, with a small number of elves, gnomes and goblins.

The slave army is relatively mobile, and its main strategy is to go wherever manpower is needed.

As far as Pei Ze knew, the vast majority of graduates from the Knight Academy joined the Silver Legion and the City Guard.

Only those who lack strength or do not want to be bound by rules will become mercenaries or adventurers.

After showing his apprentice badge at the entrance, Pei Ze was able to enter the compound without any trouble.

A soldier then led him to the registration room.

In the dimly lit office, an elderly man with gray hair and wearing a gray robe was engrossed in writing documents.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and sized Pei Ze up and down.

"Apprentices from the Tower Academy participating in the encirclement operation?"

"Yes," Pei Ze replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

According to the feedback from the All-Seeing Eye, the other party was only a level three wizard apprentice, the same level as him.

"What's your name?"

Pei Ze.

Upon hearing the name Pei Ze, the old man's expression shifted slightly. He gave him a deep look and his tone softened considerably.

"Alright, go to the next hall. Someone there will arrange your actions."

"Thanks."

Pei Ze walked out of the office, looked around, and quickly found the lobby.

When he entered the spacious and bright hall, he found that a large number of people had already gathered there, at least four or five hundred.

Only a few dozen of them wore grey robes, representing wizard apprentices; the rest were all clad in armor, plate armor, or leather armor, with sword and shield badges on their chests.

"People from the Knight Academy!"

Pei Ze raised an eyebrow.

What are the students of the Knight Academy doing here?

The number of knight academies in Dawn City far exceeds that of wizard academies, totaling more than thirty.

About a month after the Wizarding Academy's admissions process ends each year, the Knight Academy will begin its admissions process.

Their students mainly come from two sources.

On the one hand, the school recruits students from all over the city. Anyone who has citizenship and is between 16 and 18 years old can enroll in the Knight Academy by passing a simple test.

On the other hand, there are those who were eliminated from the wizarding academy.

Every year, the four major wizarding academies have a large number of students who have no wizarding qualifications and have not even reached the level of a first-level wizarding apprentice, and are thus eliminated and advised to leave.

To the wizarding academy, these people were all unqualified failures.

However, for the Knight Academy, they are excellent students.

More than 90% of those who were eliminated eventually transferred to the Knight Academy.

Pei Ze.

Just as Pei Ze was wondering, a pleasant voice suddenly came to his ear, which sounded quite familiar.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Lin waving at him with a smile from more than ten meters away.

"Why are you here too?" Pei Ze walked over.

Hearing this, Gu Lin put his hands on his hips and said, "Who do you think you are? I'm a level three wizard apprentice now!"

Pei Ze glanced at the girl, not surprised at all.

Gu Lin was already close to breaking through, and now that twenty days have passed since the end of the trial, it is not surprising that he has broken through and advanced.

"You're here for the merit points too?"

"Of course." Gu Lin shrugged. "There are many things on the merit point exchange list that I'm also eyeing. I definitely can't miss this opportunity to earn merit points."

Seeing Pei Ze's dismissive expression, Gu Lin said helplessly, "It's true that I come from a prominent family, but that doesn't mean I can ask for all the resources I want."

"There are so many young people in the family, and everyone needs resources. Although I have received more resources because of my good qualifications, it's not as much as you might think. When it's time to fight for it, you still have to fight for it yourself."

Pei Ze realized Gu Lin was telling the truth, nodded, and didn't say anything more. He then changed the subject, asking, "Where can I find the list of merit points for exchange?"

"Isn't that over there?" Gu Lin pointed behind Pei Ze.

Pei Ze turned around and noticed that a wall deep in the hall was covered with densely packed text, as if it were being smoked and burned.

The dazzling array of exchangeable items was exhilarating.

Magical items, potions, magical pets, and companions—it encompasses almost every resource a wizard apprentice needs.

They even possess precious magical items like witchcraft, which only formal wizards are qualified to possess.

Even the composed Pei Ze couldn't help but drool with envy, wishing he could go and wipe out the heretics right now to earn merit points.

"Isn't it attractive?" Gu Lin's lips curled into a sly smile. "Look at the other side."

Pei Ze looked in the direction the girl indicated, and saw that there were also a lot of smoke-smoked words written on another wall, which were about the rewards for killing heretics.
