Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 84 Elemental Runes and Magical Tattoos

After parting ways with Gu Lin, Pei Ze walked straight towards the gate of the garrison.

The operation is over, and the resources have been redeemed, so there's no need to leave anything behind.

Su Ya and Peng Yan were standing near the gate when they saw Pei Ze appear and immediately went to greet him.

"grown ups."

Pei Ze smiled and said, "You've worked hard these past few days."

"It's no trouble at all!" Su Ya quickly said, looking at Pei Ze with expectation in her eyes. "It is our honor to follow you, sir."

Peng Yan smiled innocently and said, "My goal is to follow a strong person like you, sir."

Faced with their almost unequivocal statements, Pei Ze smiled slightly, patted them on the shoulders one after the other, and said, "Go back and cultivate diligently, don't slack off. I'll come back to find you after I advance to the level of a wizard."

The meaning of this statement is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Su Ya and Peng Yan were immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, sir, I will certainly not let you down!"

"Me too!"

Pei Ze didn't say anything more, smiled, and turned to leave.

Only after Pei Ze had walked away did Su Ya excitedly wave her fist, her face flushed with excitement.

The thing she had been longing for had finally come true, and she was so happy that she wanted to jump for joy.

Peng Yan was also grinning from ear to ear.

For the two of them, becoming followers of a genius with boundless potential like Pei Ze meant a bright future.

Back in the apartment he hadn't lived in for over half a month, Pei Ze first used energy particles to clean the apartment, letting Xiao Yi and Wu Yu move around freely, before sitting down in the living room to check on his condition.

During the last five days of the operation, he barely used his mental energy, focusing all of it on accelerating the analysis of the will runes.

After five days, the No. 26 Will Rune has been completed.

The analysis of rune #27, Willpower, is about one-third complete.

His mental attribute has also broken through the 120 mark.

【Spirit 120.48】

[Body Condition 64.96]

[Task 1: Analyze Rune #27, estimated time 120 days]

[Task 2: Improve the model of the Weakening Ray spell, estimated time 63 days]

[Task 3: Improve the Silent Illusion spell model, estimated time 58 days]

"His physique is also close to reaching the peak of the Grand Knight level."

Based on Pei Ze's observations over this period, the physique of a peak Grand Knight is around 70 points.

At his current rate of physical growth, he should be able to break through to the peak Grand Knight realm in at most half a month.

However, after that, breaking through to the legendary knight level is not so easy.

In addition to having a physical attribute of 100 or higher, the promotion criteria for legendary knights also require mastery of elemental power.

Neither of these two points is easy to achieve.

"Now my physical improvement relies entirely on mental enhancement; the benefits of practicing the Azure Breathing Technique are negligible."

Pei Ze had actually considered improving the Qinglan Breathing Technique, but after careful consideration, he decided to postpone it for the time being.

First, build all the will runes you want to construct, and master all the spells and super magic techniques you want to learn, then it's not too late to upgrade your breathing technique.

As for elemental power, the good news is that Pei Ze, as a wizard apprentice, is far more sensitive to energy particles than ordinary peak grand knights, making it relatively easier for him to communicate with the elements and awaken elemental power.

As long as your physical attributes meet the requirements, you should be able to advance to the Legendary Knight rank in no time.

After calming himself down, Pei Ze took out the memory crystal ball that Gu Lin had given him and began to scan its contents with his all-knowing eye.

It took more than half an hour for the All-Knowing Eye to finish scanning.

It took Pei Ze another ten minutes to digest the knowledge in his mind before he opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"The knowledge related to enchanting is indeed as deep as the ocean. There is already so much knowledge in just one branch. Even with the All-Seeing Eye, it would take a lot of time to learn it all."

After resting for a short while, Pei Ze began to tidy up carefully.

Gem enchanting is an important branch of enchanting, and its difference from other enchanting methods lies in the fact that its main material is gems.

Because of this, the properties obtained from gem enchanting are greatly limited by the materials used, and the variety of magical items that can be crafted is relatively less extensive than other enchanting methods.

However, the advantage is that the magical items crafted from them are often of high quality, with even the lowest quality being of the luminous level.

In addition, gem enchanting also includes most of the derivative techniques of enchanting.

What attracted Pei Ze the most were undoubtedly the elemental runes and magical tattoos.

Elemental runes, as the name suggests, are created by condensing an elemental rune and attaching it to oneself or other items to add corresponding elemental effects.

For example, attaching a lightning rune to a weapon can temporarily grant it lightning damage and a paralysis effect.

Adding the Gale Rune to your body makes you lighter and greatly enhances your agility and flexibility.

Simply put, elemental runes are a secret technique that can temporarily transform ordinary items into magical items or temporarily grant oneself a buff.

"It feels like an advanced technique for manipulating energy particles, and it's also somewhat similar to the elemental power of legendary knights."

Pei Ze pondered for a moment.

Elemental runes consume very little mental energy, and once mastered, they can unleash considerable combat power when combined with melee attacks, making them highly practical in battle.

Without a doubt, this secret skill must be mastered.

Pei Ze made a quick decision and then looked at the knowledge about magic tattoos.

Magic tattoos can actually be seen as the ultimate and most focused application of elemental runes.

The emphasis is on the fact that magical tattoos can only be applied to the human body and have no effect on inanimate objects.

By tattooing various patterns onto the surface of human skin, one can acquire various magical properties, including but not limited to elemental effects.

For example, the protective properties of a protective ring can be transformed into a magical tattoo that can be applied to the human body.

When used, a small amount of mental energy is injected to activate the protective force field.

The term "ultimate" refers not only to the fact that magical tattoos are more effective than elemental runes, but also to the fact that magical tattoos have a permanent effect.

It will exist indefinitely unless the recipient actively removes it.

Compared to elemental runes, magical tattooing is undoubtedly a more advanced technique.

Based on the difficulty of the tattoo and the strength of the effect, magic tattoos are divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

The higher the level of the magic tattoo, the stronger the effect.

However, at the same time, the requirements for the rarity of the materials and the physical condition of the recipient are also more stringent.

Even if a wizard with insufficient physical strength has enough materials, he will not be able to create a high-level magical tattoo.

Most wizards who receive magical tattoos start with lower-level magical tattoos and upgrade to higher-level magical tattoos as their physical condition improves.

"Intermediate-level magic tattoos require a physique at the level of a legendary knight to be applied. Right now, I can only apply low-level magic tattoos."

Pei Ze murmured softly.

That being said, lower-level magical tattoos also have many powerful effects.

For example, the Blink Magic Tattoo, once activated, allows you to instantly teleport to any location within a hundred meters, with an effect comparable to the third-circle spell "Blink".

For example, the invisibility magic tattoo, once activated, allows you to enter an invisible state for one minute, equivalent to the second-circle spell "Invisibility".

In addition, there are offensive magical tattoos such as Ice Blast, Lightning Blast, and Blazing Flame, whose power is comparable to third-circle spells when activated.

Despite its extremely long cooldown, it can be used as a trump card by wizard apprentices.

The same applies to Pei Ze.

A wizard, or a wizarding apprentice, never thinks they have too many cards up their sleeve.

"Unfortunately, the materials needed for magic tattoos are mostly very rare, and it's not easy to gather them all."

Pei Ze thought for a moment and muttered to himself:

"Omniscient, analyzes elemental runes."

[Task created, elemental rune analysis begins, estimated time 646 days]

"So long!"

Pei Ze frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Analyzing the Lightning Rune".

[Task created, starting analysis of lightning runes, estimated time 129 days]

"That's more like it."

Pei Ze nodded secretly, then muttered to himself:

"Omniscient, analyze the Flash Magic Tattoo."

[Task created, analysis of Flash Magic Tattoo begins, estimated time 355 days]

Without hesitation, Pei Ze paused the improvement tasks for Weakening Ray and Silent Illusion, preparing to first complete the analysis of Lightning Rune and Blink Magic Tattoo.

"Now we just have to wait for the Realm of Truth to open."

The next open day for the Realm of Truth is at the end of February, which is a little over a month away.

Pei Ze estimated that by then, the remaining six will runes would have been completed.

But that's alright, the power of the rules we gain can be used to analyze super magic techniques, elemental runes, and magical tattoos, so it won't be wasted.

Stretching, Pei Ze was about to get up when he turned around and found that Xiao Yi had fallen asleep on the sofa at some point.

He smiled, found the little one's special blanket in the corner of the sofa—a washcloth—and covered her with it before going back to his bedroom to rest.

As for Wuyu, she stood by the window as usual, gazing up at the night sky at a 45-degree angle.

After transforming into atomized life form, it no longer needs to sleep.

the next day.

Pei Ze got up early, ate breakfast, and went out to head to the No. 8 herb garden.

Upon entering the herb garden, he spotted a familiar, graceful figure in the herb patch in the front yard.

As Yin Xue was watering the plants, she seemed to sense something, looked up and saw Pei Ze. A bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Junior, it's been a long time."

Pei Ze smiled and said, "Congratulations, senior."

Yin Xue pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Then I also want to congratulate you, junior. I've heard about your brilliant achievements recently, and to be honest, they really surprised me."

Yin Xue was telling the truth.

When she first heard about this, she was incredibly shocked.

There are indeed level three wizard apprentices capable of killing legendary knight-level powerhouses, but those are all veteran level three wizard apprentices who have been in the game for many years.

She had never heard of someone like Pei Ze, who had only been promoted for less than two months, yet had already killed two legendary knight-level powerhouses.

Back when she was a freshman, she wasn't as formidable as Pei Ze.

So much so that the slight sense of pride she felt upon becoming a wizard vanished without a trace in an instant.

Looking at Pei Ze's smiling face, Yin Xue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Pei Ze's future achievements will definitely far surpass hers.

"Come with me, junior, the teacher is waiting for you in the pharmacy," Yin Xue said softly.

Pei Ze's expression turned serious. He nodded and followed Yin Xue, and the two walked out of the herb garden together.

After passing through the vast plantation, the two quickly arrived at the apothecary.

The door was open, and Mo Weng was sitting by the window, looking down at a book.

As Pei Ze and Yin Xue reached the door, Mo Weng looked up and pointed to two chairs next to him.

"sit."

Pei Ze and Yin Xue did as instructed and sat down in the chairs.

Snapped!

Mo Weng closed the book and put it aside, turning his gaze to Pei Ze with a faint smile on his face.

"You didn't let me down, you did a great job."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher." Pei Ze's expression remained calm, without the slightest hint of pride.

Mo Weng saw this and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Calmness and composure, remaining unmoved by praise or criticism, are essential qualities for a wizard.

At this moment, Yin Xue suddenly asked, "Teacher, what about Pei Yonggao?"

Mo Weng glanced at her, and instead of answering, asked, "Have you heard of the Divine Body Golem?"

A divine body and a demonic statue.

A look of doubt appeared in Pei Ze's eyes.

Yin Xue seemed thoughtful, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "Is the one the teacher is referring to the flesh-bodied golem developed by the Golem Department, which is hailed as the strongest weapon of war in Dawn City?"

"That's right." Mo Weng nodded slightly. "The flesh golem was originally one of the lowest-ranking golems, but the Golem Department took a different approach, using the bodies of many deceased gods as the main body and fusing them with many rare materials to create the divine body golem."

"The Divine Body Statue possesses an indestructible body, is immune to all spells below the seventh ring and spells of the same level, and can also use some divine power, truly deserving to be called the strongest weapon of war."

"It was thanks to this divine body and demonic statue that Dawn City was able to conquer the entire plane in less than twenty years when it attacked the Dilo Plane."

Pei Ze was deeply moved by what he heard.

There are even golems made from the bodies of gods?

This is an outrageous amount!

He had previously heard that powerful wizards could use gods as experimental subjects, and he thought that this was an exaggeration of wizards. But now it seems that this is not an exaggeration at all.

What puzzled Pei Ze was the relationship between the Divine Body Demon Statue and Pei Yonggao.

Yin Xue also looked puzzled, but she refrained from interrupting Mo Weng.

Mo Weng continued unhurriedly, "Although the Divine Body Golem is incredibly powerful, it requires at least a dozen first-level wizards to operate it simultaneously. Furthermore, due to the excessive burden, it will cause irreversible mental damage to the wizards responsible for operating it, resulting in a permanent reduction in their mental strength."

Pei Ze and Yin Xue's expressions changed simultaneously.

It wasn't that I was surprised by the side effects of the divine body golem; such a powerful weapon of war would be unbelievable if it didn't come at a price.

Rather, Mo Weng's words subtly revealed the final outcome of the Huo Nan matter.

As expected, Mo Weng didn't keep him in suspense any longer and said calmly, "According to the orders of the Dawn Council, Pei Yonggao set off for the new plane yesterday to join the team that controls the Divine Body Statue, and he won't be back for at least six months."

He paused, then looked at Pei Ze.

"In addition, as compensation, you can choose another resource worth 1000 merit points, which will be provided by the Pei family."

Before Pei Ze could speak, Yin Xue frowned and said, "Teacher, isn't this result a bit unfair to Pei Ze?"

"Fairness?" Mo Weng shook his head slightly: "Only the strong have the right to talk about fairness."

He turned to look at Pei Ze and said, "What are you thinking?"

Pei Ze nodded calmly and said, "I accept this result."

He never expected to bring down Pei Yonggao through this incident.

After all, Pei Yonggao was a certified wizard, while he was just a wizarding apprentice.

The two sides are simply not on the same level.

The Dawn Council would never execute a fully-fledged wizard for the sake of a wizard apprentice.

Indeed, it was obvious to everyone that Huo Nan was acting on Pei Yonggao's orders to kill him.

But so what?

During the freshman trial, everyone knew that Pei Shaoqi died at his hands, but did anyone, including Pei Yonggao, seize on this incident to accuse him of his crime?

There wasn't any at all!

This is not because there is no evidence, but because he is stronger and more outstanding than Pei Shaoqi!

In the wizarding world, the weak and the useless have no right to demand fairness.

In fact, if it weren't for his teacher Mo Weng standing behind him, the Dawn Council might not have even punished Pei Yonggao.

With no one standing up for him, this matter will most likely end without any resolution.

That's just how realistic this world is.

Might makes right; that is the only truth in the world.

Pei Ze was not entirely satisfied with the result, but it was not unacceptable either.

That's fine too. He can deal with Pei Yonggao personally after he becomes a wizard!
