Chapter 83 Expert Hockey, No. 131 Copper Street
After being promoted to a first-level wizard, Ronan's biggest regret was that he couldn't take full advantage of his mastery of the two extraordinary realms.
When he was at Hoddam Academy, he made the choice to major in energy spells in front of Grace, in order to use the [Energy Missile-Particle Torrent] as his trump card and build a stronger one with it as the core. Spell system.
Later, I came to the Silver Magic Circle, and I wanted to join the Magic Circle. It was also because the metal spell inheritance of the Silver Magic Circle and [Charging Weapon-Spell-Breaking Power] were a "natural match", which could bring the power of this magic circle into full play. Extreme.
Unfortunately, both plans fell through, and Ronan finally chose ice spells.
At this moment, it would be a bit foolish for you to let him put aside his good first-level spells and practice zero-level spells purely for the sake of an extraordinary ice domain - the trump card level spell that derives the domain already has [Particle Torrent], and the ice element is not enough, can't you practice the extraordinary realm with first-level spells?
But now, things are a little different.
"If my idea is really feasible."
Ronan suppressed the faint excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, his eyes burned, "Then the [frozen soil] rune in my hands may reach an unprecedented height!"
With his current strength as a first-level wizard, he can go back and brush up on his proficiency in zero-level spells. Not only is it as easy as eating and drinking water to upgrade a zero-level spell to the master level, it is much easier than doing a first-level spell.
And once the spell derives the extraordinary legal domain, then the icy domain constructed from the [frozen earth] sigil is very likely to undergo a qualitative leap and transformation!
Luckily, he basically has zero-level ice spells at his disposal, which come from Linus.
Ronan calmed down and quickly made plans without delay.
The three first-level spells originally set as anchor points - [Ice Armor], [Frost Spear], and [Frost Howl].
There are only two left, which can be chosen according to different situations. The free anchor position is reserved for - zero-level low-level [Ice Ball Technique], zero-level intermediate [Frost Ray], and zero-level advanced [Ice Blade Technique].
These are the skills Ronan will focus on next.
A new domain architecture was formed.
Perhaps in a short period of time, the power of this new cold realm will be weakened, but once the zero-level spell proficiency that is "holding back" is promoted to master level and a transcendent realm is derived, everything will be completely different.
At this time, Ronan was full of energy and was about to start practicing [Ice Hockey Skills] immediately.
He has a certain foundation in this skill, and his proficiency is almost at the level of mastery. It will probably not take long to become a master.
"Harmful!"
After casually throwing an ice ball at the far away spell testing wall and smashing a small piece of energy-absorbing crystal, Ronan suddenly shook his head and woke up.
"What kind of spell training room do I need to practice zero-level spells? I don't care how powerful it can be. It's just a waste. I can just go to the wild and find a place to practice."
Ronan immediately left the training room without returning to the Blueberry Inn, and headed straight outside the French Ring City.
He walked out of the huge metal arch and stepped out of the protection of the rune circle.
Ronan stood on the edge of the base of seven silver towers, overlooking the empty valley below him. The strong wind from high altitude made his robes rustle.
Taking out the flying ring and turning it gently, Ronan was lifted up by an invisible force and flew downwards.
This was the first time he left the city after entering the Silver Circle. In the distance, there was an endless forest. White mist filled the forest, and strange roars could be heard from time to time.
Ronan stretched out a hand and watched the fine ice crystals and frost snow falling out from his fingers and being blown away in the wind.
"From now on, I will be a serious ice wizard."
This is a small tavern, with the sound of harps tinkling in the air. Wizards wearing various robes sit together in twos and threes, creating a quiet and leisurely atmosphere.
With the melodious sound of wind chimes ringing, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a figure walked in from the outside.
This is a tall and burly man with a rugged appearance and fiery red hair. If it weren't for the dense flame patterns on his cheeks and neck, he would look more like a knight than a wizard.
The red-haired man walked into the tavern and looked around. His eyes quickly locked onto a figure in the corner, and he strode over with a smile on his face.
"You're late again, Creed."
Before the red-haired man could fully approach the figure, a cold voice sounded.
Sitting alone in front of the brown wooden round table in the corner, the figure wearing a silver-grey robe raised his head, revealing a handsome and heroic face.
This is absolutely a handsome man, young and full of charm, but his too calm pair of lake blue eyes and the slightest bit of coldness that is constantly emitting from his body are always conveying a feeling that strangers should not enter. signal.
"Just a minute. You're being too harsh, Damien."
The red-haired man shrugged, and after snapping his fingers to indicate the drink he wanted, he sat down in front of the handsome man and asked, "Are all ice wizards as difficult to get along with as you?"
"Am I difficult?"
Ronan gently shook the crystal cup in his hand, squinted his eyes to see the blurry boy's shadow reflected on the cup, and whispered: "Maybe."
It was only then that he realized that he had unknowingly turned into an alien that was lonely and difficult to get along with in the eyes of others.
Is it because I have been walking alone on the path of a wizard for too long, or is it because I have been practicing ice spells for more than a month?
Ronan didn't know... maybe it was both.
"Don't talk about it anymore, it's the same old rules."
The red-haired man looked at Ronan with a smile, and Ronan casually took out a small black cloth bag from his storage bag and threw it on the table.
The bag made a swishing sound when it hit the table. It seemed to contain many tiny gems, and it looked heavy.
The red-haired man quickly opened the bag to check, and soon he picked out a thumb-sized, irregularly shaped blue crystal stone, and whispered: "The crystal core of a first-order intermediate monster?! Tsk, Damien, your strength is again Becoming stronger!”
Ronan didn't speak, just looked at him lightly.
The red-haired man yelled for a while, quickly checked all the crystal nuclei in his pocket, and then took out a bunch of bottles and jars from his storage bag and placed them in front of Ronan.
"If you want a potion to enhance your mental power, pick it yourself."
Ronan's eyes focused on the potions in front of him. He checked and selected the potions on the table in an orderly and rapid manner.
When the movement in his hand stopped, he only kept three bottles of the pile of potions that the red-haired man took out, and returned all the rest.
"Convert the rest into equivalent magic stones for me."
Ronan spoke, his expression calm and showing no emotion or anger.
"Damien, you're going to become an expert on drugs if you keep doing this."
The red-haired man put away the remaining potions on the table and muttered: "As a friend, I have to remind you that relying too much on potions will be very bad for your future. Sooner or later, the impurities in your mental power will become like a few There are just as many lice on a carpet that hasn’t been cleaned in ten years.”
Ronan listened to the red-haired man's nagging voice with an expressionless face.
The man named Creed in front of him was someone he had met this month and could barely be considered a friend.
Like him, they are all first-level wizards who specialize in fire spells and have not joined the magic circle.
This guy is said to have been a knight mercenary, and he has been a wandering adventurer for decades. Later, by chance, he was found to have the potential to become a wizard, and it was pretty good, so he embarked on the path of a wizard.
Because of his background as a knight-adventurer, Creed didn't have much patience to study runes, potions, and alchemy. His main source of income in the Magic Circle was hunting Warcraft in the forest outside the Magic Circle, obtaining Warcraft crystal cores for sale, and working part-time at the same time. A bit of buying and selling work. That's why Ronan fell in love with him.
This month, he was frantically practicing ice spells with various first-order monsters in the forest outside the magic circle, and became proficient in his newly constructed spell system. All the crystal cores he hit were shot with the help of Creed, which can be regarded as a stable extra income. .
Moreover, Creed has been hanging out outside the Circle of Magic for many years and knows many first-level wizards like him. Some of them study potions. He will also help sell the potions he refines, and the price may not be cheaper than those in the pharmacy. , but there are many more types.
Ronan had already consumed all the first-level wizard mental power-enhancing potions in the pharmacy, and relied on Creed as a channel to obtain more new formula potions that he had never tried before.
It's just that this road seems to be coming to an end soon. The last time Creed took out the potion, Ronan could still pick out two or three "new products", but this time there was only one.
"It's nothing, I'll leave first"
After putting away the potions on the table and the magic stones that Creed made up, Ronan stood up and prepared to leave.
The latter slapped the table with helplessness and shouted at him: "Please Damien, a wizard's life is not just about meditation and fighting!"
"Yes, there is also spell research, rune research, and potion research."
"."
Creed was speechless for a while, "It's really boring to chat with you. Forget it, tell me something that interests you."
Ronan stopped as he left and looked sideways at Creed, "Let's talk and listen."
Creed took a big gulp of ale and said, "A formal member of the Circle wants to find an ice wizard to help adjust the rune circle.
This task has been pending in the Magic Circle for almost two months, and no one has taken it. Haven't you always wanted to find someone to help you sponsor your application to join the Magic Circle?
Maybe this is an opportunity. "
Ronan turned around.
He knew that Creed had special channels and could receive some tasks that were only open to members within the French Circle.
Usually these are tasks that the rewards are not high and formal members of the Circle of Magic are not willing to take on, but someone must complete them.
At this time, it will pass through "middlemen" like Creed and fall on them, the official group of wizards "to be added to the Circle of Magic".
"Is this task difficult?"
Ronan thought for a moment and asked.
"It's not difficult."
Creed shook his head and explained, "Actually, this is a long-term mission and will be released every month.
The key is that the person who issued the task has a big problem. "
"Is there a problem with the task issuer?"
Ronan frowned.
“That guy has offended many people in the Circle of Magic, so no one in the Circle of Magic will take on his mission.
The rewards for the tasks he can take out are very low, but his temper is extremely bad."
Creed spread his hands and said, "So no one outside the Dharma Circle wants to take on this task."
"That's really a good opportunity."
"It's just a chance."
Creed threw a thin piece of paper at Ronan, picked up the glass and drank while smacking his lips and said: "Be mentally prepared. There are not many ice wizards who have had similar ideas to you before, but there are no All failed with one exception.
In fact, I don’t think there is any need to rush to join the magic circle. It is true that there are inheritance and resources in the magic circle, but how many can really fall on us?
All kinds of things? There are so many restrictions, wouldn’t it be better to live a free life for thirty years?
We have plenty of time, right, Damien.
Damien! Damn, are you listening to me?"
Ronan had already walked away, and Creed's shouts were left behind him.
He lowered his head and looked at the piece of paper given by Creed, and saw a simple address written on it - 131 Copper Street.
If there are "slums" outside the Seventh Ring City, Tongpin Street should be one.
Ronan strolled along the desolate and dilapidated long street. The ground under his feet was full of cracks. Both sides of the street were full of abandoned houses and shops.
Along the way, I could only see the crystal street lamps lighting up the occasional few houses.
It is hard to imagine that a wizard who is a formal member of the Circle would choose to live in such a place. Even the most destitute first-level formal wizard cannot tolerate such an environment.
Ronan condensed a piece of ice the size of a pigeon egg in his hand, flipping it back and forth between his slender and well-proportioned fingers. This was a little trick he had figured out by himself to exercise the control of ice energy.
While walking slowly along the long street, he clicked on his character panel to check.
[Strength: Level 1 official wizard (24%)]
After pouring down bottles of mental power-enhancing potions, his strength progressed to 24% of that of a first-level official wizard, and his mental power had more than doubled compared to when he was first promoted.
If divided by the standards of the wizarding world, he should be close to the mid-level of the first level now.
Because he frequently takes drugs and needs to constantly remove impurities from his mental power, Ronan also practices [Basic Meditation Technique] very diligently. [Bound of Empty Brightness] is turned on almost all the time, and his proficiency in [Basic Meditation Technique] has also exceeded The one hundred master level proficiency mark.
Every hundred points of proficiency is a threshold, and Ronan has clearly discovered that his efficiency in using [Basic Meditation Technique] to remove impurities has improved a lot.
Everyone who knows a little bit about his situation will advise him to take less drugs and be careful that his mental energy will be mixed and affect his subsequent promotion path.
In fact, Ronan's real situation is exactly the opposite of what everyone imagined. Due to the constant erosion of the [Bright Realm], his mental power is not only not mixed, but is much purer than the mental power of ordinary first-level early stage wizards.
Even Ronan has already felt the benefits of pure mental power - faster spell casting, less mental power consumed to cast spells, and a smoother connection between spells
What really hinders his progress He has always only had soul qualifications. Even if he has undergone soul purification, his soul qualifications can only be regarded as the most ordinary among first-level wizards.
Because he has been focusing on practicing ice spells, his proficiency in several common spells has not improved much. Ronan has mastered the three first-level ice spells [Ice Armor], [Frost Spear] and [Frost Whistle]. Proficiency level.
After working hard to remove the liver, [Ice Hockey Technique] has been practiced (Expert 784/800).
It won't be long before he reaches the master level.
With the strength of a first-level wizard, you can focus on practicing a zero-level spell, and it is still a low-level spell. Your proficiency will increase very quickly.
In the past, it would have taken at least three months to achieve such progress.
Ronan has experimented, and he now uses the expert-level nearly perfect [Ice Hockey] and two first-level spells as anchors to build an icy field. The power generated by the field is no longer inferior to the effect when it was built with all first-level spells.
If the fourth anchor point spell [Ice Hockey] is added to the original basis, the power of the cold field can be enhanced by almost one-third.
Facts have proved that the direction of his efforts should be correct.
But whether it can really bring about a qualitative change in the field will have to wait until [Ice Hockey Technique] is completely promoted to the master level and derives the extraordinary realm.
Unconsciously, Ronan arrived at his destination.
