Witch, don't be so lazy

"How could she be so foolish as to think that mages who graduated from the Tower Academy would be tainted by evil spirits? Does she think those monsters in the Tower are idiots?"

"Do you still think we'll give her the Abyssal Serpent Staff? Wither, are you willing to give her the staff?"

The pale-faced withered one next to him felt very bored.

"The things we sent her were filled with so much stuff, isn't it natural for her to be deceived? Ever since she came to us because her life was coming to an end, her fate was already determined."

Withered stroked the black snake staff inserted in the center of the cave, as if listening to something.

After a while.

He said in a deep voice, "Madam Rose can hold on for a while longer. Silver Fang, you should also speed up your efforts. Once it's almost done, let Estherin take action."

"And then just wait for her to be arrested? Interrogate her and extract half-truths and half-false intelligence?"

Silver Fang asked, "Do you need me to make some noise in the city and the suburbs?"

"Yes, if you move your hands, you will attract the attention of all the mages in Asda City. Their attention will be focused on the Taiqir Ruins or the city itself, and they will have no time to pay attention to this side."

Wither raised his head.

The walls of the cave were inlaid with a large number of brown and yellow withered tree trunks, inside which were clusters of tumors beating like red hearts, and the tumors extended lines to the sky.

At the end of the line is a huge female corpse.

The most special thing about it must be the terrifying wings spread out on its back - they are completely woven from the heads of girls, with countless distorted faces and countless tightly closed mouths.

As the tumor throbbed, the heads and mouths began to tremble, and their faces became even more hideous.

Wither couldn't help but admire the magnificent thing in front of him.

"The Wailing Angel makes too much noise when it appears, and it will take some time to evolve. But once it's finished evolving, it will be Kunda's nemesis."

"Tsk, that guy Kunda deliberately kept the evil spirit summoning ritual and even spread some rumors in the dark world, intending to lure us in. Unexpectedly, he ended up tricking Estherlin instead. What he didn't expect was that we had a big surprise prepared for him."

"Once we kill him, we'll destroy Asda City and then use the ritual to attach the evil spirit to the Wailing Angel. Then we'll head south, destroying towns along the way. We probably won't even reach Gray Reef Harbor, and the Wailing Angel will be able to ascend to the fourth level."

"And with such a great contribution, even if we fail to advance in the process of destroying Asda City, Lord Dachis will reward us and fully support our advancement... Madam Rose did the same. She actually spent all her family's wealth to hold a true blood feast."

Silver Fang shrugged.

"Don't say that. Perhaps without Lord Dachis's help, the three of us can successfully advance. This way, we will be even more highly regarded by him."

Withered expressionless.

"I'm used to preparing for the worst. Whether it's the Abyssal Serpent Staff, the Well of Silence, or the Lightless Society, everything is done to be absolutely sure... Silver Fang, have you contacted the Necromancer of the Well of Silence?"

When this topic was mentioned, Yin Ya couldn't help but "tsk" twice.

"No, but I think I've found his tracks. He seems to be staying in the limestone forest. I don't know what he's up to. I'll go check it out after I finish my work here."

"Ah."

Chapter 102 Elemental Seal

Elemental Seal, a low-level spell of the Chaos School, is a combination of telekinesis and runes, and is also the true starting point of rune magic.

Before Evengar the "Evening Star" created this magic, runes had already been combined with magic, but at that time they mainly involved rituals and barriers.

Their common characteristics are that they take a long time to prepare and consume a lot of resources.

Let’s take a classic example.

In the middle of the Old Empire, a wizard set a trap and went through great pains to lure the legends and choirs of the Papal States into a small country near the Meteor Mountains in the southern continent. This country was his magic workshop, where he carried out various arrangements for a long time.

This included the complex underground passages connecting the entire country. It took 120 years and a lot of resources to fix the forbidden spell of the Wrath of the Earth and a soul-devouring ritual. Combined with its own magic, it buried the legends of the church, the choir, and all the creatures in the country in an instant. It then launched the ritual, taking those souls and corpses as a token of its allegiance, and suddenly became the Lord of the Abyss.

Similar things have happened countless times in history.

This group of M撩留II.,四+ divisions not only warned the world not to casually engage in battle with spellcasters staying in magic workshops, but also revealed the limitations of rituals and barriers - they were almost only applicable to positional warfare.

The "Elemental Sigil" was born, and until the emergence of rune magic, spells began to be combined with conventional magic.

Because it solves, at least partially solves, the dilemma of runes, using a different approach than scrolls or enchanted items.

As we all know, drawing a spell requires a high degree of concentration and sufficient time, and the more advanced and complex the spell, the more so.

And the difficulty of stacking complex runes before battle is much higher than usual.

Don’t think it’s easy for An Ke to enchant the Mage’s Hand. That’s because she has a proficiency panel, which allows her to draw the enchantment smoothly and accurately no matter how nervous she is. If it were another mage, haha, it would test her talent, mentality and luck.

But even so, in order to pursue casting speed, she still had to make a lot of modifications to the patterns of the spells, resulting in the power being far less powerful than if it were drawn normally.

however.

Once you master the "Elemental Seal", the above problems will no longer exist.

Because this mantra can be "printed" directly.

Literally, one should record the corresponding runes on a daily basis, and then directly replicate them through telekinesis when needed, just like making a rubbing - this makes the most of the characteristics of telekinesis. As a combination of magic and spirit, it is flexible and free enough to be adjusted according to the caster's wishes.

Of course, there is an upper limit to the number of records here, which is mainly related to the proficiency and mental strength of the caster.

[Elemental Seal: 13/5000/Mastery]

Currently, Anke can roughly record four seals at the same time.

The so-called Dharma seals are the most universal spell patterns summarized by our predecessors, and are also divided according to different schools of thought.

For example, the Radiant Seal is a pattern that combines the low-level spells "Torch of Light" and "No Escape". Its ability is to emit light and dispel shadow energy at the same time.

Compared with the enchanted runes, the power of the seal is not only affected by the caster's attainments in the runes, but also by the strength of his mental power. After all, the mental power here is the carrier of the runes, and the carrier must be strong enough, otherwise the seal will collapse.

Therefore.

"Elemental Seal" is very important and can be used as a prerequisite for powerful spells later on, but most mages cannot master it - there are not many people who have the talent for spells, and even fewer who understand both spells and telekinesis magic.

But once mastered, one can directly transform the spell attainment into combat power, making the telekinesis magic that was originally at a low level even more powerful.

Like now.

As the magic power surged out, in almost an instant, Anke's body was illuminated by a blue-black light. If it were not for the slight difference in shape and color, other mages might have mistaken it for the "Steel Armor Bodyguard" of the Earth School.

Although there is actually no problem, at least in terms of defense, the telekinetic armor engraved with the Rock Seal is not inferior, unless the opponent's affinity with the earth is ridiculously high.

And it is still the rock seal.

Only a harsh sound was heard.

A blue-black spike rose from the ground and pierced deeply into the thick obsidian wall of the training room.

It looked almost the same as the low-level spell "Earth Spike", except that it was much more powerful and had no pre-swing - when a normal "Earth Spike" was cast, the land or metal around the enemy would move, alerting the opponent.

Because An used telekinesis, there was no such problem at all. Her attack range was even longer, a full twenty meters.

This one move alone can almost instantly kill most low-level mages in a skirmish - it can also be captured, because the telekinesis is very flexible, and the spikes turn into ropes in a matter of a moment.

The rest who survived showed that they had strong self-defense means and danger perception ability.

But this is still a fair and open attack. If An Ke uses "Shadow Hide" and combines it with the Seal of Concealment.

A sneak attack.

Although nothing was seen, the obsidian wall was severely damaged again.

It was like performing the "Breath Throw". Yes, it was the ingenious advancement of the invisibility spell, using shadow energy to cover up one's attack, the old bastard's unique skill.

An Ke directly used the concealment seal to achieve the effect of the spell in disguise.

Of course, she couldn't hide the objects she threw and the rest of her spells, she could only hide her telekinesis, but that was enough. Her telekinetic thrusts were much more powerful than most projectiles.

Seal of Rock, Seal of Concealment, Seal of Corruption, Seal of Flame.

These are the four seals that An Ke has recorded so far, and they are even from different schools of thought. Normal engravers usually only focus on one direction.

The Seal of Corruption belongs to the School of Necromancy. It allows telekinesis to combine with negative energy, and is particularly effective against creatures with strong vitality, such as trolls. Negative energy will greatly weaken their regenerative ability.

It’s a pity that the second-year-old Wu Ba (Seven) Yisan is best at the Necromancer Rune but his performance at the Ancient Rune is a little worse.

There is not much to say about the Flame Seal.

It's not very convenient to use Holy Flame Summoning in front of others.

This way.

An Ke's offense and defense include "Telekinesis Shaping Skirt" and "Elemental Seal", reconnaissance includes "Eye of Judgment", concealment includes "Shadow Concealment", and long-range "Eye of Judgment" counts as half. Once she practices "Hailstorm", even without any props, she will be a super pentagonal mage.

In fact, the only thing missing is running away. The problem is that low-level spells are too weak in running away. Basically, they are all meat systems, or they rely on summoning mounts. Everyone does this.

But it doesn’t hurt.

An Ke felt that she could already crush most first-level mages, and even some second-level mages might not be able to defeat her, especially those who did not master powerful combat spells and perception spells.

After all, the gap between the low-level ones is not that big. She has almost doubled her mental strength through the [Devil's Gospel], and she also has the protection and blessings of many gods on her body.

All I can say is that she secretly used a little cheat, which wasn't too much, because Lorena used a bigger cheat, and so did Celine Weir - one of them was already level three, and the other was probably about the same. With the blessing of the temple, she could easily be promoted.

On the other hand, Miss Encore is only a step away from the second level...

Uh.

In fact, she is quite close to the second level, because the requirements for holding the promotion ceremony are usually the following three points:

Low-level meditation has reached the mastery level, three low-level spells have reached the mastery level, and elemental affinity or mental power (Chaos School) has reached a certain standard line.

The only thing Anke is unsure about now is the former. The Lunar Corona Meditation Method is definitely not a low-level meditation method, but she is not sure whether the meditation methods can be converted into each other.

[Lunar Corona Meditation: 1496/5000/Beginner]

Moreover, she was a little scared after the last trip to Hongyan Town, so she didn't dare to go on patrol without practicing some spells.

Shaked his head.

An Kemeimei stretched, dealt with the obsidian wall to avoid exposing her spell attainments, and then left the training room.

Return to the lobby of the Adventurer's Guild (Qi Er Shan Neighborhood).

It's still as lively here as ever.

Encore walked around for a few times, mainly to see if there were any suitable commissions, and also took a look at the team building hall.

In fact, as a first-level mage, she doesn't need to come here to find teammates.

Besides, in order to hide her talent, she couldn't just travel with anyone casually. She just wanted to listen to what everyone was discussing out of curiosity.

Wherever adventurers gather in large numbers, it is naturally a center for information exchange.

However, the information may not be meaningful, and whether it is true or false depends entirely on your own judgment.

After a walk around, I found that most of the things these adventurers discussed were nothing new.

In addition to gossip and family matters, there are also reviews of major consumer places in Asda City. Most of the topics still revolve around ruins, treasures, adventures, monsters and other things.

Because the ruins of Tekir are now the hottest topic, everyone is keen on discussing who has obtained a treasure, reporting on the casualties and results of well-known adventure groups, and occasionally cursing the trolls and the snow mammoths they raise.

Encore is not too impressed by this, but apart from this, everything else is hard to describe.

For example, there is a persistent rumor among some adventurers that the Asda City family has left behind a treasure, which was passed down by the ancestors of Asda.

It's so fake that it's outrageous. The Asda family has been confiscated and all the things have been divided up by various forces. Moreover, Asda's ancestor has been dead for hundreds of years. The family fortune he left behind has been squandered by his descendants. How could there be any treasure left?

Besides the treasure, there was also a lot of information about the surrounding environment and monster movements. It was said that the Ghost Sword Pythons in the northwest limestone forest were not very active, that flocks of birds were often seen flying out of the southwest mountains, that the road leading to the southern Snow Fir Town had become smoother, and that the bandit lizardmen hadn't appeared in a while...

Encore actually listened carefully to all of this, except for the last message, because after all, it was she who did it.

Walked around twice more.

This time, she actually heard the only piece of information that interested her, which was about Fairy Tale Island.

Fairy Tale Island. The last time Encore heard this term was in the demiplane "Moonglade". The druid of the White Deer Clan and the owl nature spirit kept talking about this thing.

Out of curiosity, she spent a few silver coins to get more information and asked the staff.

Finally, the 8958th stream of the Siliu Group Chat received a very bardic answer:

Fairy Tale Island is a dreamlike place, hidden in the vast spiritual world. Boat tickets are given out every few decades. Any creature that gets a ticket can use it as a spiritual object at a specific time to start a spiritual tour of the Fairy Tale Island. It is said that there is no risk if you fail there, and once you succeed, you will get spells that you have never learned before.

It's a pity that the tickets will appear randomly in various corners of the world. It seems that it depends entirely on luck, but all major forces will scramble to get them. In fact, it has little to do with ordinary adventurers, unless they pick up the ticket and hide it at the beginning.

...It seems that no one knows that this thing is related to elves.

Anke blinked, and after satisfying her curiosity, she left the team hall, planning to take two hunting commissions in exchange for some gold coins and contributions.
