Chapter 128: Crisis is coming
Back at the Wizard Tower, Brian locked himself in the study directly.
Recalling what was about to happen next, he immediately called out his attribute bar and prepared to squander all his accumulated experience value for nearly four months.
Four months seem long, but for Brian, he even felt that time passed too quickly. There are still many things that have not been finished and passed quietly.
His original plan was to increase himself to the legendary field experience value and accumulate it first.
In this way, as long as you understand the mystery of legend, you can upgrade your arcane level to the legendary realm at any time.
However, after two days of attempt, he suddenly realized that it was not as easy as he thought to get all the millions of experience points as soon as possible.
First of all, although there are many monsters in the material world that can be used to experience, he knows many places, but even if he has the assistance of teleportation spells, he will waste most of his time on the road.
This is naturally not the best choice now.
Then there are the vast four elemental planes and ether planes. Here he doesn’t have to worry about not being able to find monsters. As long as you have a good appetite, you can open the brush.
However, many things are only difficult after trying them.
He originally brushed the wind demon bats on a floating mountain range in the wind element plane. Who would have thought that with the death of the demon bats, he only drew less than 100,000 experience, which attracted the attention of many legendary creatures in the element plane, forcing him to choose to escape as soon as possible.
After all, elemental planes are not as good as material planes. Some powerful existences can kill him instantly with just one thought, and he must never take this risk.
So he gave up the plan to element planes directly.
As for things like the Bottomless Abyss and the Batto Hell, he couldn't even imagine that just a group of demon lords offended in the Bottomless Abyss could make him die in an instant without a burial place.
If he goes to Batto Hell with less than the legendary power, and wants to accumulate experience quickly, it means he must kill a large number of devil creatures.
There is no doubt that in the hell of Batto, anyone who sees the large number of soldiers under his command will be paid attention and investigated to the end.
After considering these issues, Brian secretly made up his mind that if his strength is less than the legendary realm, he will never go to other lower or inner planes to gain a lot of experience.
In the past four months, he could only slaughter some spiritual beetles, spiritual plunderers and other creatures around the semi-plane without attracting attention, and plundering experience values.
After all, his half plane is an extremely special world. If it is noticed by some existences in the ether plane, the consequences will be difficult to estimate.
Moreover, in this way, one's own strength can be gradually improved.
Herist once reminded him that if his strength improves too quickly, he is likely to be stuck on the threshold of the legendary field for a long time.
This is like although he has a big appetite and can eat a lot of things, he is likely to have a bad stomach due to indigestion during the digestion process.
Therefore, he finally chose to digest the knowledge he had mastered first, and he must not be too hasty and be stuck on the threshold of the legendary field.
He no longer thought about it and immediately began to improve his professional level.
"Elevate the Arcane Level!"
“Consuming 364,000 experience.”
"The Arcane Level has been upgraded to Level 5!"
"Get Arcane Energy: 42 points!"
"Get the Arcane Class Features: Arcane Sequence!"
"The Arcane Fire Level is increased to level 8, and you will get the 8-ring casting authority to escape the net."
"Acquiring Arcane Characteristics: Arcane Surge."
…………
"Elevate the level of the psychic warlock!"
“Consuming 182,000 experience.”
"The level of the psychic warlock has been increased to level 14!"
"Get Psychic Points: 23 points, extra Psychic Points: 4 points."
"Get the characteristics of the spiritual creation department: Master of Stars!"
…………
Seeing that you have obtained the career characteristics you want, Brian immediately checks the property bar:
[Arcane Sequence (Category Features): Arcane's understanding of spells has exceeded the mortals' cognition. They understand the mystery of spells more than other spellcasters. This understanding can allow them to manipulate spells more skillfully in nature.
Effect: The arcane can choose 1 to 5 other 1 to 5 rings of spells. The number of spells is determined by the arcane himself. Although it cannot exceed the maximum amount, the spells can be of the same level or even the same, for example: 5 fireball techniques, the number of times this feature is the intelligence adjustment value of the arcane himself. Note: The pre-enablement of the legendary arcane sequence.]
…………
Seeing this ability, Brian couldn't sit still.
This made him realize that he was walking further and further along the path of the Fort Mage.
Although this profession can only store five-ring spells at the highest level, as long as he can prepare it in advance, it can be instantly emitted, which is more convenient than the wands used by spellcasters to store spells.
Moreover, the wands of the casters are all disposable items, and the price of making them is extremely expensive. The number of times the "Arcane Sequence" is based on the intelligence adjustment value. With his 25-point intelligence attribute, he can use it at least 7 times a day.
In other words, if his arcane energy is sufficient and combined with the three abilities of "magic rapid fire", "arcane twin" and "arcane weaving", he can instantly pour out his spells at the most terrifying speed.
This kind of terrifying attack, as long as it does not encounter a protective barrier of absolute immunity or divine energy, even the legendary spellcaster will probably feel unbearable when caught off guard. It is an explosive combination move that is a must-have for Yin people.
Brian then looked at the characteristics obtained after the promotion of Aohuo.
Arcane surge: After this ability is activated, it will increase its spell release speed by 50% at the cost of 30% of its additional arcane energy per spell release.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no doubt that for Brian, this is another skill of a turret mage, which makes him unable to help but think of the calm fireball technique.
Fireball is a three-ring spell. With his current casting speed, he can use the instant fireball technique to activate the "Armor Surge".
This is undoubtedly a pretty good improvement for him.
During his research and thinking for the past four months, Brian has long formulated a combat plan that is most suitable for him based on his professional characteristics and abilities.
His main tactic is to use sufficient arcane energy and explosions to kill the enemy with the most violent and gorgeous attack methods.
His psychic abilities act as an auxiliary means to increase arcane damage and control the enemy.
After all, no matter how gorgeous the spell is, it will take damage to decide the outcome, so he might as well be a violent kill.
Then, he looked at the profession characteristics he obtained after the level of the psychic warlock was increased.
[Starmaster (Category Features): As a psychic warrior in the Creation Realm, you know the functions and mysteries of astral energy better than any other realm. You can obtain astral energy at a faster speed in the astral realm and use it in countless ways.
Effect: This ability can increase the effect of any creation system's superpowers released by the psychic warlock who is proficient in the creation realm by 20%, and the overall defense and recovery speed of the star-like structure and the spiritual crystal servant will be increased by 30%.]
…………
Seeing this ability, Brian nodded with satisfaction. As the level of the psychic warlock increased, he finally obtained a more practical skill for him.
This ability is very good in terms of improving the creation ability or astral structure. Moreover, the creation ability he is proficient in is crystal sting, group astral cocoon and crystallization, etc., which are mainly used to control the enemy.
After the level was improved, Brian leaned on the back of the chair and began to adapt to the changes brought about by the improvement of various abilities.
In four months, although his strength has not been greatly improved, the development of the Wizard Tower has become almost perfect with the help of Ms. Polaris.
Not only did he have a magic network control system controlled by two tower spirits at the same time, he made reasonable arrangements for the wizards and protection of the entire wizard tower, but he even completed the magic pulse cannon he had long been looking forward to.
At this moment, he has the legendary biopower nuclear fusion golem and magic pulse cannon. These two great killing weapons, as long as the internal system of the Wizard Tower is not compromised, he will have the confidence to face any invading enemy.
Then, he stopped wasting time and took out a blank scroll and began to think about the enemies he was likely to face next and how to deal with them.
Time passed by Brian's writing quickly and sometimes frowning, without realizing it.
But how long after, a buzzing sounded and the light of the teleportation array emerged.
Brian looked up and saw the female lord of Arab City Mycera wearing a simple mage robe, and walked out of the gradually dissipating magic circle gracefully.
"How is the situation in the semi-plane?" he rubbed his sore and stiff neck and asked.
Since the semi-plane was successfully merged, he handed over his authority to Myrcella and asked her to assist the development of Fairy Mizusawa Silvali.
As it turns out, it is a very wise choice to hand over this task to this legendary super spell.
In today's semi-plane, the number of magic hubs that can be connected by spellcasters has doubled from the original 5 people to 10 people.
This is mainly because Myrcella has brought the three strengths to the fourth level, and her most trusted subordinates of the war mage establish a link with the semi-plane.
Only then did Brian realize that the stronger the spellcaster who linked the semi-plane, the faster the speed of the semi-plane growth will be.
This is just like the roots of plants. The stronger the roots, the faster they absorb nutrients.
Even his two apprentices were successfully linked, and under the guidance of Myrcella, they mastered the construction and storage of spell models.
"Everything is normal." Mycella gently shook her long hair hanging on her cheeks, revealing a soft smile. "I have arranged the hidden magic circle in the half-plane. As long as it is not a true god or a god of kindness, there will definitely be no existence to discover its location."
"If this happens, I will feel relieved for the time being." Brian breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the book in front of him aside.
"Of course, if you master the knowledge of the mysterious locks that act on the semi-plane," said the female lord: "We can even avoid any attempt to detect the existence of a location."
"Miss Lock Knowledge?" Brian frowned and said, "Leave it to me. If I have the chance, I will go to Silver Moon City in person."
What he called a chance was to wait for Herist.
However, according to his investigation, Herist had no news about her since he parted with him half a year ago. Even in the North Alliance, it seemed as if it had evaporated from the world.
Thinking back to what the other party once told him, he could only choose to wait patiently.
"Brian, if you have nothing to do now, can you take me around?" Myrcella thought for a moment, interrupted Brian's thoughts and said with a smile:
"I can feel the order and harmony of Mokou Town. It can be seen that it has become a qualified town. Until now, I have never visited it carefully."
"No problem." Brian was stunned for a moment, then stood up and picked up a coat from the hanger.
He did not expect that the female lord of Arab City would make such a request.
The fatigue brought by long thinking made him feel that he needed to go out for activities and relax.
So the two walked down the tower along the long winding stairs.
The weather outside was surprisingly clear and brilliant, and the guards saluted Brian's righteous figure, and he nodded to them and a lieutenant riding on horseback, while the female lord watched all this with interest.
"Then there is the fortress of Mokou Town, the former rock bunker." Brian said.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the right side of their direction, there is a training area, where some soldiers from Mokou Town are "fighting" against training dummies, and the sound of "bangbang" intersecting swords and wood comes one after another.
On their left, young recruits were fighting with real guns and swords, the sound of metal collision mixed with the commander's orders.
The priests and apprentices from the temple of knowledge that were invited to observe carefully beside them, ready to replace them at any time, or use divine magic to treat the injured.
"This looks... quite martial." The female lord observed everything with interest.
"There is no way. On one side of us is the dangerous far-sea swamps and the Storm Horn Mountains, and on the other side is the endless desert." Brian said, continuing to move forward, moving further and further away from the soldiers just now.
“We have many dangers.”
"It's true." Mycella agreed, "besides facing the militarized ghost city, more dangers come from the wilderness and orcs."
"Stop!" At this moment, a voice shouted loudly.
Several guards came over with swords and battle axes. The female lord stopped and stood aside and looked at Brian curiously.
Brian looked at the running guards, who immediately recognized him, then put away his weapons and bowed to pay tribute, while one of the gray-haired and unshaven men stood attentively and saluted even more seriously.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Lord," he said. "I'm not told that you will pass by with your guests. Do I need me to arrange an escort?"
"No need." Brian smiled and greeted, "Thank you, Captain Moen, thank you for your kindness. In our own territory, I'm afraid no one can hurt me."
The serious captain saluted respectfully again and then led the soldiers away.
When they left, the thoughtful female lord suddenly spoke in a completely serious tone: "Brian, I suddenly felt that although my strength is stronger than you, among us, I am the one in danger."
"If that's the case, I'll come and save you." Brian quipped.
"Save? Yes..."
Myrcella sighed and said calmly, "I didn't know until now that you have done this since you asked Hisaiah to deliver the first letter to me."
"I'm helping you." Brian looked at her, recalling the events in the game, frowned slightly, and changed his mouth with the same serious tone, "It's not saving you."
"I am a super spell master who is proficient in the school of prophecy." She said slightly solemnly:
"I can feel that in a sense, you are saving me and saving the Kingdom of Cormier. Yes, I am actually like you, and I really want to protect this Kingdom and give stability to the people of the Kingdom."
"Just like you protected Arab City?" Brian suddenly realized something and asked.
"Yes." A hint of sadness floated in Mycella's expression. "Sadly, although I rebuilt Arabia City, I did not protect it. I hid in the mage tower and witnessed the tragic deaths of my family one after another, but I could do nothing."
"As far as I know, you were in no way possible." Brian comforted him tentatively, not sure why the female lord suddenly mentioned these things.
"You are at the key to entering the legendary realm. The incarnation of the tyranny god Bann just arrived. Actually, I really admire your rationality at that time. When you successfully advance, you rushed out immediately."
"But I couldn't do anything," she sighed, "I couldn't stop the disaster."
"No, in my opinion, you have done a lot." Brian narrowed the distance between the two.
"You united with the priest of the Temple of Taimora to expel the incarnation of Bann. It is precisely because of this turning point that the remaining army can regain the courage to drive away the enemies raging the city of Arabia. It is really hard for me to imagine how you accepted this fate at that time and supported it until now."
"Because everyone has their own destiny, just as the fate of the priestess who guard the Temple of Taimora is to sacrifice his divine power in exchange for victory when fighting against the tyrannical god."
She smiled bitterly, "I know that things have happened and should not have been mentioned, but whenever I think about it, it is still so uncomfortable. Seeing the people of Arab City looking at the Mage Tower with hope, the hearts of the hearts falling down, and... "
"Are you almost shattered your own hope at that time?" Brian asked calmly.
"You...you are not as old as me." Mycella looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why can you see so thoroughly?"
"You can think so." The two walked side by side and came to a pebbly trail, "because I've fallen into the same thing."
"Then why are you here, Brian?" Myrcella suddenly asked bluntly, and raised her beautiful thin eyebrows in confusion.
"Even I have to admit that you are really an outstanding arcane. Why didn't you stay in Halua, stay here alone, between the desert and the swamp? Between the Ghost City and the Kingdom of Cormier?"
"Because there must be someone standing here." Brian gave an ambiguous answer.
When he said this, he couldn't help but recall the scene of the great arcane Opus leaving, as well as the last words of another dying old man he had seen in the small world where he was born.
"Really?" The female lord stopped with a frown and looked at him, looking at him as if I didn't believe it.
"Of course." Brian replied calmly, "just as you once made a vow to never step into Susal."
Words were like swords, causing a look of injury in Myrcella's silver-gray eyes.
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, that's not what I mean."
"This is what Shisiah told you, or... forget it, it doesn't matter anymore." Mycella asked sincerely, "So, what do you want to express?"
Brian looked at her speechlessly, unable to understand anything in his mind, and then somehow, the words suddenly popped out by themselves.
"I am a survivor of the Neseril Empire, just like you are the Cormier. Each of us has a different mission. Your mission is to protect the Kingdom of Cormier, and my mission is to recreate the glory of the Arcane Empire, and that's all."
The injured look disappeared from the friendly face of the female lord. She raised one hand and stroked her long brown hair, sighing:
"Yes, my mission is to protect the Kingdom of Cormier, but they didn't listen. No one wanted to listen to my thoughts at the beginning. My father was like this, the king was like this, and my uncle was even more so. I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, and every word I said was howled away by the wind. No matter what I did or said, it eventually became meaningless. Everything I did was meaningless. My existence... was meaningless."
Brian looked at the female lord beside him with a wry smile, and suddenly realized that the female lord who had always given him an extremely confident feeling actually regarded him as the object of congratulations.
Sure enough, everyone has an unknown side.
"Then, we are really sympathetic, Miss Myrcella Raul." Brian handed her an agreed look, "Actually, I am afraid that I am useless, afraid that I will become isolated and helpless, and afraid that everything I do is meaningless."
"But I know one thing very well: everything has a rhythm and a cycle, and nothing can remain unchanged, even the nearly immortal and great gods cannot do. And how many changes will we mortals make in the face of time? Once upon a time, you were a student of Sandra Kot, a super spell who longed to read books and hone your magic skills. Then the world changed, driving you out of the nest of happiness, and you also changed. You survived and even showed your skills in the field of diplomacy. You have faced many challenges, you have had many confusions, but this is the responsibility you shoulder. This world..."
He shook his head affectionately when touching the scene, and then looked into the sky.
"This world is no longer what it used to be. Everything and everyone is no longer what it used to be. Come, let me show you something."
He raised his hands and let his slender and agile fingers swing. The light of arcane energy appeared on his fingertips, and then slowly condensed into a rotating ball, suspended in front of the two of them.
"Look," he said.
Myrcella stared at the small ball of arcane magic.
With a light touch of Brian, the sphere shattered, but it immediately reorganized into one, but it looked slightly different.
"This... has a pattern on it!" Myrcella said in amazement.
"Keep watching," said Brian.
Then he touched the ball again, followed by the third move.
With each touch, the pattern of the sphere becomes clearer.
For a moment, Myrcella, who was excited and confused, even suspected that she was facing a design drawing, not a sphere of arcane energy.
Symbols, marks and numbers rotate and mix together, and then arrange them in certain rules.
"This is...so beautiful," she murmured.
Brian opened his fingers and reached through the ball.
The ball shattered like a fog that was scattered, but it was immediately recombined in another arrangement.
It is like a genius magic kaleidoscope, with endless variations but precise patterns and rules.
"Do you understand now?" he asked.
Myrcella stared at the exquisite patterns as if she was hypnotized, watching them form, shatter, and reorganize again and again.
"This...is not just a spell," said Myrcella.
He nodded. "This is the essence of arcane."
For a moment, she couldn't keep up with his ideas.
The spells had complex spells, gestures, and sometimes they needed spell casting materials... Then suddenly, she realized with enlightenment, so shocked that she even staggered her steps.
"This is...math!"
"Equations, theorems, and rules." Brian happily shared his new achievements in combining the color-resistant scrolls:
"When they are arranged and combined in a certain way, they are one thing, but if they are arranged in another, they will become something else completely. Just like our lives, the destiny is hard to violate but it is full of variables. Everything is changing, whether it is due to internal or external factors. Sometimes an extremely small change will affect the final result."
"And our existence... is also a kind of magic." Myrcella whispered.
She reluctantly took her eyes back from this wonderfully rotating sphere made up of the beauty of mathematics, and a new question was brewing in her heart.
"Lord!"
The shout scared the two of them, and they turned around and saw Captain Moen racing on a maroon horse.
He pulled the reins suddenly, the horse neighed, and stood in the air with its feet tightly clenched, and then stopped.
"Sir, our scouts bring the latest news."
Although the road was close, it was rushing towards me. The captain continued to say, "An ancient red dragon... flew from the direction of the Sunset Mountains, with the goal of Mokou Town!"
"The person who came is not good." Brian frowned slightly, glanced at the wizard tower that he was waiting for, and calmly said to the female lord beside him:
"The orcs of the Storm Horn and the people of the Ghost City may also wait for an opportunity to move. You go back to Arabia City first, and I will deal with it here."
"Damn it! It's actually at this time..."
Myrcella took a deep breath. She was still inspired by the wonderful experiences that Brian shared, and the next moment she sank her heart to the bottom of the news.
Chapter completed!
