Chapter 82: Ice-cold realm, spell anchor, shining future!
Now that the decision was made, Ronan no longer hesitated and started condensing the [frozen soil] talisman that day.
Condensing sigils can be said to be simple or complicated, and they involve the details of soul and mental power control, which are extremely troublesome for many wizards.
To put it simply, the process of condensing the soul sigil is like a rune master engraving runes, except this time, the mental power is used as a carving knife, and one's own soul is used as a blank rune stone.
Every step of condensation is full of pain, because it is a mark that must be left on the soul and must be "deep" enough.
And you can't make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you have to "erase the wrong part and start over again," which adds another layer of pain.
But the good thing is that condensing the soul sigil is something that does not need to be done overnight. It can be "long" and lasting, and can be done intermittently as long as the final sigil condensed is complete and correct.
Ronan spent a total of a week completing the process.
During this week, his soul aura changed every day, becoming deeper and more complex day by day, and tainted with many light and mysterious qualities.
On the day when the [Frozen Earth] rune was completely completed, it happened to be the early morning of the seventh day. The blue-haired girl Alida walked into the room pushing the dining cart as usual. The moment she saw Ronan, she stood there blankly for a long time. There was no relief.
——
Under the early morning sunlight, half of the white-haired boy in a robe beside the window sill was bathed in gold.
His delicate skin shimmers like white jade, his delicate profile is like a sculpture, his blue eyes are like gems, and there are faint, almost imperceptible white lines on his neck.
The whole body is full of energy. It exudes a mysterious and profound aura, with a touch of coldness that seems to reach people's hearts.
When Ronan cast a brief glance at Alida, Alida's whole body trembled as if she was electrocuted, and then she murmured softly like she was dreaming.
"My Lord Tian Luonan, you seem to have become 'pretty' again."
"."
"Driving" away Alida, who was almost completely reduced to a flower-obsessed girl, Ronan was not in a hurry to enjoy breakfast. He sat on the sofa and carefully felt the changes brought about by the [frozen soil] talisman.
Apart from the fact that his soul aura is no longer like a blank piece of paper and he has truly integrated into the ranks of a first-level official wizard, Ronan's strength has not fundamentally improved.
However, the moment [frozen soil] took shape, he also naturally understood the function and effect of the [frozen soil] talisman.
"Use at least three ice spells as anchor points to simulate an icy... field that resembles the arrival of frozen soil?!"
It should be the field.
According to the meaning conveyed by [frozen soil], the power and scope of this field will continue to be strengthened with the number and grade of ice spells that serve as spell anchors.
In other words, this is a soul sigil whose power can continue to "grow"!
"Tsk!"
When Ronan learned this, he immediately understood why the "suicide note" in the metal box said that the [frozen soil] sigil had a mystery unknown to ordinary people and was the beginning of a legendary ice wizard family.
The [frozen earth] rune with this "growable" characteristic can no longer be measured by the grade of ordinary "rare" runes.
This is a talisman that varies from person to person. In the hands of a genius, it can shine with unparalleled brilliance, not inferior to higher-level and more powerful talismans.
But in the hands of mediocre people, it can only become ordinary.
"Then am I a genius or a mediocre person?"
Ronan's blue eyes shone slightly, and he suddenly had unprecedented interest and expectation for this "forced" chosen talisman.
He had a hurried breakfast, then took out the rune stone that recorded the inheritance of spells, looking at it and selecting it.
The first level [Ice Armor], the first level [Frost Spear], the first level [Frost Whistling].
Ronan finally selected these three first-level spells as his "spell anchors."
There are three first-level spells, corresponding to the types of defense, attack and field control.
Barely constructing the prototype of an ice spell system.
First-level spells are different from zero-level spells. There are no longer low, middle or high levels. There are only different choices and understandings of different types of spells by wizards.
"Practice a new spell, and it's a first-level spell. It seems a little inappropriate here."
Ronan looked around the room, thought for a while, and finally decided to go to the spell training room he had been to before.
When I arrived, I happened to see Basil's magic airship hovering outside.
Basil was in the hall, talking to a young wizard with red lines all over his face, accompanied by a short man.
Perhaps Ronan's watching gaze was too obvious, which caught Basil's attention.
The latter cast a faint glance, swept across Ronan's face indifferently, and took it back without making any pause.
It was as if I had never seen him before.
Ronan walked past where the three of them were talking with an expressionless expression. His outstanding ear could faintly catch words such as "join", "legacy of the ring of magic" and "benefits", without any fluctuations in his heart.
Randomly choosing a spell training room, Ronan directly stored a high-level magic stone, and then completely "soaked" in it.
In the next few days, except for occasionally returning to the Blueberry Inn for a "hot meal," Ronan spent the rest of his time practicing spells.
After the soul has been purified, the official wizard's ability to understand spells has also been greatly improved.
First-level spells are far more complex and profound than zero-level spells, but it is not difficult for a first-level wizard to initially master them, especially Ronan who has a panel. The difficulty is just to use them skillfully.
Three days later.
"Ada...hey!"
In the huge spell training room, Ronan's whole body exuded waves of powerful mental power fluctuations, spitting short syllables from his mouth.
Soon, a large number of ice energy particles in the air gathered together, and large waves of cold air emerged. In an instant, an ice crystal spear exuding a biting coldness was generated out of thin air.
And then followed by Ronan pointed out a finger, shooting forward like white lightning.
"Bang! Click, click, click -"
There was a muffled sound, and a ball of white frost and cold air exploded, followed by the sound of large chunks of ice condensing or breaking.
The spell testing wall directly in front was lit by the light of many energy-absorbing crystals.
"one two three"
Ronan simply counted the number of energy-absorbing crystals that lit up, his eyes flashing slightly.
"A little beyond the standard line for first-level wizards, but not much."
A very common value, just like every official wizard who has just learned a first-level spell.
"Then try this again!"
Ronan's mental power was mobilized, and the second [Frost Spear] was brewing, but this time at the moment when the spell was about to take shape, a bright light flashed slightly on the neck under his robe.
"Shua——"
In an instant, Ronan's spell, which was about to be finalized, suddenly received a second injection of a large amount of ice energy particles that gathered rapidly. The coldness doubled instantly, and the power of the spell also doubled.
An ice crystal spear that was obviously thicker and more powerful than the first time slowly appeared and shot out towards the spell testing wall ahead!
"Bang!!"
A large area of energy-absorbing crystals lit up. Ronan counted it carefully, compared it with the table, and found that the power of this [Frost Spear] was almost close to the burst of a mid-level wizard.
"It's amazing." Ronan's eyes brightened slightly and he couldn't help but sigh.
He subconsciously reached into his neck and took out a beautiful sapphire necklace hidden under his robe.
There is a dark blue ring hanging on the necklace, which shines mysteriously under the light of the training room.
Alice's ice ring necklace.
It was the mysterious rune in the ice ring of the necklace. After being activated, the power of the [Frost Spear] spell released by Ronan was doubled!
This kind of effect is almost comparable to those of top wizard geniuses with single-attribute energy affinity!
"I found a treasure... This is simply the best ice auxiliary tool."
Ronan held the ice ring and sighed softly, thinking that this magical tool had a powerful amplifying effect on ice spells, and he would not be at a loss if he switched to ice spells this time.
The only drawback is probably that the style of the ice ring necklace is more feminine, so he doesn't dare to wear it outside, so he can only hide it in his robe, which can be regarded as hiding its magic.
"You're almost done practicing"
Ronan casually clicked on his current character panel. The results of his efforts in the past three days were displayed on the skill bar.
【.
Ice Armor (Entry 12/100)
Frost Spear (Entry 20/100)
Howling Frost (Entry 9/100)
】
The three spells were officially introduced in the morning, and Ronan practiced more intensively to consolidate them.
"I can finally try the effect of the [frozen soil] rune."
Ronan felt a little expectant in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, the [Realm of Empty Ming] is turned on. While replenishing the consumed mental energy, it is also waiting for the spell test wall to reset on its own.
When everything was ready, Ronan began to recite the mantra quickly.
The mental power surged out one after another, and the free energy particles in the room were continuously extracted.
"[Ice Armor]!"
The first spell took shape, and a thin film of light, like thin ice or hoarfrost covering the glass, emerged around Ronan, exuding a faint cold air.
At the same time, a mysterious rune in the depths of his consciousness, shaped like an iceberg, flickered slightly.
On Ronan's neck and chin, white rune patterns lit up quickly.
"[Howling Frost]!"
The second spell was formed, and a fierce wind came out of thin air in the spell training room. The wind was carrying fine wind and snow, which was biting and blinding.
Deep in his consciousness, the [frozen soil] talisman flashed for the second time.
"[Frost Spear]!"
When the third spell was cast, Senhan's cold ice crystal spear quickly emerged with Ronan's finger.
After three spells of "anchoring", the [frozen soil] rune, whose effect was completely activated, finally shined brightly.
In an instant, an indescribable strong cold breath emanated from Ronan's body, and the white rune lines that appeared on the surface of the skin due to the influence of the [frozen earth] runes quickly turned into ice blue. , "growing" along the collar of Ronan's robe toward his neck, chin and cheeks!
It constantly adds a mysterious and noble temperament to his whole person.
The terrifying cold air spread rapidly from Ronan's feet to the surroundings, and large swaths of frost appeared on the floor. The temperature dropped sharply, ice and snow formed, and the freezing coldness filled the huge spell training room, as if winter was coming in an instant.
In the hazy snow, Ronan's white hair and robe were raised and dancing slightly.
He walked forward through the wind and snow, and a large amount of cold air surrounded him, shifting as he moved.
With ice-blue rune lines covering his neck and chin, he was as handsome as an elf born in the ice and snow, with an innate sense of nobility.
He strolled towards the spell testing wall at the other end of the room. He was the source of all the coldness in the room. As he approached, the energy-absorbing crystals on the spell testing wall lit up one after another.
When Ronan completely approached the wall and gently placed his almost transparent palms on the wall, the brightness of the energy-absorbing crystal on the test wall almost reached a certain extreme.
"One, two, three, four, five"
Ronan simply counted, and the final result was that it was close to the standard for the strength of a late-level wizard.
"The cold air emanating from my source barely reaches this level of spell power. The further away from me, the less powerful the cold air is. If it is at the very edge of the 'field'"
Ronan released his mental power and felt it for a while, and concluded, "It's probably close to the strength of a mid-level first-level wizard."
The scope of the "field" is not large, with a radius of about ten meters.
To be honest, this distance is far from the safe casting distance of a first-level wizard.
"With the blessing of 'Arlis' Ice Ring Necklace', the power and range of the ice field will be doubled!"
Judging from the fact that Ronan's current three "anchor" spell proficiencies are only entry-level, the power of the "icy field" formed by the [frozen soil] rune is quite good.
But the shortcomings are also obvious——
"It takes three 'anchorings' before it can be fully activated. The process of laying the groundwork is really a bit long."
"The panel data of spell power is good, but this kind of killing effect is not an instant burst. The panel data is basically for reference only."
To sum it up: the release process is cumbersome and long, and the instantaneous lethality is not enough.
At this stage, there is a high probability that it can only be used as a powerful field control method and cannot be used as a trump card.
These disadvantages are in line with the fact that the [frozen earth] sigil is only a "rare" level.
"When the spell proficiency as the anchor point increases, these shortcomings should be greatly alleviated."
Ronan could only comfort himself with this.
"If I practice one of the anchor point spells to the master level, it will derive an extraordinary realm.
The effect of the entire ice field should be qualitatively transformed. "
Ronan still has great expectations for the future of [Permafrost].
Just as he was thinking about removing the field effect and brushing up his proficiency for a while, when he was about to close the panel, Ronan caught a glimpse of a spell in the skill bar on the panel that he had almost forgotten - [Ice Hockey]!
In an instant.
It was like a bolt of lightning flashed across Ronan's mind.
His whole body suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on the three words [ice hockey technique] on the panel, and he was lost in thought.
After a moment, an unprecedented strange light quickly bloomed from Ronan's eyes.
He almost couldn't help but slap himself hard!
"I'm so stupid!"
"Anchor point! Why do I have to use first-level spells as the anchor point of the cold field!
Zero-level spells can also be used!"
"Using three zero-level ice spells that have all entered the master level and derived extraordinary legal domains as anchor points, the constructed domain is ten times stronger than the domain constructed by three entry-level first-level spells! Even hundred times!"
At this moment, Ronan seemed to see a brand new future slowly opening in front of him, shining with light.
