Chapter 262 Half-Step Legend

“Improve the level of the Arcanist!”

“Consumption of 689,000 experience points.”

“The level of the Arcanist is increased to level 8.”

"Arcane Power Gained: 55 points."

…………

“Improve the level of the Arcanist!”

“Consumption of 793,000 experience points.”

“Improve the level of the Arcanist to level 9.”

"Gain Arcane Power: 60 points."

.........

In the study room, Brian felt the changes brought about by his level improvement, but his brows were involuntarily knitted together, showing a worried look.

There is no doubt that his profession is an improved version of the Arcanist. Upgrading requires more than twice the experience points, making the abilities and characteristics brought by this profession better than those in the Netheril era. Arcanists are more powerful.

However, the problem arises here.

When he forcibly advanced to the arcanist profession through the battle mage profession, he obtained a total of three basic characteristics of the arcanist profession.

They are Transcendent Arcana, Scenario Arcana, and Spell Master.

The main function of "Extraordinary Arcana" is that through the BUG ability of arcane fire, he broke the restrictions of the magic network and successfully accessed the deep magic network structure.

It is precisely for this reason that he can obtain spellcasting abilities above the ninth level according to the same professional rules as when he obtains spells below the ninth level.

According to the normal process, when his arcanist level is raised to level 7, he will gain 9-level spellcasting ability. When he is raised to level 9, he will gain 10-level spellcasting ability. It is the 11th ring, and so on until you get the 12th ring.

But what surprised Brian was that after his arcanist level was raised to level 9, he did not gain the corresponding spellcasting ability, and even his arcane fire did not change at all.

Brian quickly calmed down and recalled what happened when he became an Arcanist.

In just a moment, he vaguely guessed what the root cause of this phenomenon was.

Then, he looked at his experience value and decided to take the risk and give it a try.

His current main career level is War Mage level 10/Arcanist level 9. He is only one step away from the legendary realm. It is not an exaggeration to call him a half-step legend.

With his current abilities and the preparations he has made to break through the legendary realm, his level has been raised to level 20. It can be said that it is easy for him to enter the legendary realm.

You know, before Yinhun City attacked his wizard tower, he stayed in his wizard tower for nearly half a year in order to break through the legendary realm and understand the secrets of the legend.

During this period, in addition to digesting the knowledge in the scrolls of Nese, he also recalled his experience of how to break through the legendary realm when he was in the game world.

Although it is just an experience in the game world, I still benefit a lot.

Facts have proved that the accumulation of half a year has played a vital role in him continuing to improve his strength.

After all, the world today is full of disasters, and only by raising his strength to the legendary realm can he be qualified to participate.

He never thought that he could really deal with the vast majority of legendary professionals after fighting back and forth with the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult, the red-robed wizard, and the mentor of the Shadow Demon Network.

In fact, what played a decisive role in the occurrence of this situation was the assistance of the female lord Myrcella's mage tower and the ability she transmitted to her super magic spell caster.

This is why in the Battle of Susar, when facing the orc great sage whose strength reached the mid-level legend, even if they won, the price they paid was very heavy.

The situation at that time was already in a precarious situation.

If he hadn’t spent a huge amount of money to build an ultra-long-distance astral vascular tube and barely fired a magic pulse cannon to scare away the ancient green dragon, the winner of this war would probably be Orc army.

Therefore, he will feel at ease only if his strength breaks through to the legendary realm. After all, this means that he will receive a greater improvement.

Especially for wizard professions, wizards who have reached the legendary realm will completely distance themselves from their counterparts such as druids, priests, warlocks, etc.

And legend is a huge watershed. Only by entering the legendary realm can he further master various legendary abilities.

For example, the "Master of Spells" in his Arcanist professional characteristics will be directly upgraded to the "Master of Legendary Spells", and the "Extraordinary Creation" will also be automatically upgraded to "Legendary Extraordinary Creation".

In this regard, Brian was secretly grateful in his heart for the reminder that Helist had given him, claiming that if his strength improved too quickly, he would probably be stuck at the threshold of the legendary realm for a long time.

It was precisely because he paid attention to the warning of the legendary psychic and did not go crazy to gain experience and level up without any restraint that he was able to make steady progress now.

With his current ability and sufficient experience, it would be a matter of course for him to enter the legendary realm.

Brian no longer thought about it. Since he could not obtain spells above the ninth level, he decided to try to upgrade his level to the legendary realm first.

After all, even if there is no spell above the ninth level, it can at least give him the ability to release legendary spells.

Although the power of legendary spells is divided into three, six or nine levels, their level is at least around the tenth level.

"Raise the arcanist level!"

"Warning!"

"An unknown conflict has occurred..."

"Level promotion failed!"

" Failed to advance to the legendary realm!”

…………

For a moment, Brian felt a sharp pain coming from his brain again.

This kind of pain was as if he had accidentally touched some kind of terrible high-voltage power grid, causing his entire body, including his soul and spiritual thoughts, to undergo a thorough baptism of strong electric shock. .

“F*ck!”

Brian is not a person who likes to swear, but this sudden pain made even though he gritted his teeth and endured it, he still couldn’t forget to say something. Bad language.

This feeling is as if he was driving on a clear highway with clear goals. Who would have thought that a lift pole appeared out of thin air and forced him to stop, causing him to overturn and fall to his head with a bloody head? .

He first released the "spiritual barrier" power as quickly as possible to relieve the pain in his soul and force himself to calm down, and then began to analyze the reasons for the failure to upgrade his level.

After taking a short rest and waiting for the pain to subside, Brian sipped the refreshing tea while recalling the root cause of the failure.

The bitter tea gradually transformed into a fragrant and delicate taste. This pleasant freshness made Brian's frown gradually relax.

He stood up from the chair, left the desk in front of him, gazed deeply at the amazing scenery of the Mokou Mountains outside the window, and gradually sorted out the clues about his failure.

He had not experienced this kind of pain before.

Brian still vividly remembers that when he first obtained the scroll of Nese in the floating tomb in the Underdark, he tried to advance to become an arcanist through the battle mage profession.

Thinking of this, he once again recalled what happened when he successfully advanced to become an Arcanist.

At that time, he thought that he would probably fail in his second attempt at becoming an Arcanist.

As a result, something unexpected happened to him. The appearance of the goddess of magic allowed him to release the arcane imprisonment and allowed the arcane fire to successfully contact the deep magic network structure.

What made him unbelievable the most was that not only was his arcane fire perfected into a small magic net by the goddess of magic, but all the spells stored in it were also successfully activated. Because of this, with these abilities of his, as long as the goddess of magic is willing, she can easily destroy his arcane fire.

Although he instinctively believes that the goddess of magic, as a powerful deity, controls the field of "magic" and is limited by her own priesthood and doctrine, so she will never make any trouble. It was about the spellcasters, but what was happening now made Brian start to wonder if it was the goddess of magic that was causing it, so that he couldn't even advance to the legendary realm.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

As a god, there should be no need to argue with mortals like him.

Therefore, he seriously suspected that the reason why he failed to upgrade his level and was unable to enter the legendary realm was probably because of the arcane fire. This ability, which was similar to a small magic network, had reached its limit due to the continuous improvement of his own strength.

This is like if you want to make a water tank hold more water, you can only expand its area.

“It seems that the goddess of magic only optimized the arcane fire to within the nine rings. Later legendary spells, ten rings, eleven rings, and even twelve rings, although they were successfully linked to the inner magic network, they were not There is no real unlocking.”

Brian vaguely guessed the reason.

This feeling is as if he has clearly unbuttoned the waistband of the magic goddess.

However, he discovered to his dismay that he was actually wearing a pair of safety pants underneath. There might even be a pair of briefs with cross-straps and hollow seamless lace under the safety pants.

Depression is just depression, the problem still needs to be solved.

Brian closed the window and drew the light blue curtains with shielding capabilities.

Then, he sat on the chair, stretched out his finger, and the arcane fire, flashing with blue and white flames, slowly floated out of his body.

The arcane fire swayed with bright flames, ripple-like fluctuations, rippling in the air like water waves.

He no longer wasted time, and immediately concentrated on the arcane fire, trying to analyze the method of improving strength from its internal structure.

In a trance, Brian's consciousness gradually became blurred in the shining arcane fire. This feeling was like entering a hazy and illusory dream.

Just when Brian realized something was wrong and tried to restrain his arcane fire and mind, a faint ball of magical energy appeared out of thin air in his sight.

This rich magical energy kept flashing around him, as if telling Brian subconsciously that these energies were more intoxicating than any fine wine he had ever tasted.

Brian slowly closed his eyes and opened up everything about him, his body, mind, and magical intuition.

After a hazy and illusive fog, he saw himself appearing in a bright starry sky, with countless stars the size of rice grains shining brightly in the dark and empty space.

A pulsating band of blue-white light floated across the starry sky.

The shining blue-white light spots gradually transformed into the outline of a weak, elegant and disembodied human female hand.

The slender palm silently and slowly made some kind of gesture similar to casting a spell, and seemed to be writing some obscure magic runes.

"Hail, Arcane Seeker, Brian."

A soft yet majestic female voice echoed in Brian's heart.

The outline of the soft and elegant palm, amid the complicated and obscure gestures, transformed into a pair of eyes, looking at Brian with a smile.

The eyes are as gentle as water, like a trace of warmth flowing in the heart.

"Salute to you, mysterious lady." Brian suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly and respectfully.

"Do you remember what I guided you?" The voice echoing in Brian's heart showed no emotion at all.

"Never forgotten." He answered cautiously.

The so-called thing is for him to go to Shadow Valley to find a bard named Storm Silverhand.

Of course Brian has not forgotten it, and his next plan is to go to the Misty Valley.

The transformed eyes in the void blinked slightly, flashing a pale golden light.

"Do you know the reason for the stagnation of strength?" The meaningful words echoed in Brian's heart.

"Want to hear the details." He replied calmly.

"You master two different arcane energies." There was a hint of surprise in the mysterious lady's words.

Hearing this, Brian raised his head and looked doubtfully at the pair of eyes that had transformed into the void with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.

Two different arcane energies are nothing more than the magic network connected by arcane fire and the energy of the demiplane.

Brian naturally knows these, and as the power he has mastered, he also knows very well that no matter what the differences between the two energies are, they both come from the elemental world of the inner plane.

This is what is called different paths leading to the same destination, and there is no so-called conflict at all.

"As you thought, there is indeed no conflict." The mysterious lady answered Brian's doubts, "Then do you know that if the two energies are fused together..."

She didn't continue, but Brian had completely guessed the meaning.

In fact, he has already tried it.

Without a doubt, it ended in failure every time.

If there was really a way to fuse the Arcane Nexus with his own Arcane Fire, the chemical reaction that would occur would be something that even Brian himself would be unable to imagine.

At least what is certain is that his strength will definitely be greatly improved.

But one thing made him very confused. Even if he could not fuse it, it would not prevent him from advancing to the legendary realm. Why would he fail?

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized something.

"Yes." The mysterious lady's soft voice echoed deep in his heart, "If you feel it is inappropriate, I will not interfere with you again."

Brian recalled the words of the mysterious lady. The so-called non-interference meant that he felt that the other party had gone too far, so he could ignore her completely and continue to improve his strength.

Obviously, the reason why the advancement failed was because of the interference of the goddess of magic.

After all, his arcane fire is still in the hands of the opponent. As long as she is willing, she can sense the changes in the arcane fire at any time.

Thinking of the mysterious lady mentioning the fusion of two energies, Brian understood that anyone who is not a fool will make the right choice.

"Madam, thank you for your attention." Brian said sincerely, "Here, I sincerely implore you to teach me the method of fusion."

A little bit of divine radiance emerges.

"Go to the Misty Valley." The mysterious lady seemed to be sighing in her words. As the eyes in the starry sky slowly dissipated, her voice became inaudible, "The secret of the silver fire can unlock the meaning in your heart. Doubtful. "

Seeing the mysterious lady disappear, the scene in front of Brian also changed back to his study.

He leaned back on the chair, put his legs on the table, played with the quill in his hand, and recalled the words of the goddess of magic.

He knew that he wanted to successfully fuse the two energies when he advanced to the legendary realm, which was to find the chosen one with the silver fire.

As for why the goddess of magic is so kind, or pays attention to herself, Brian guessed that this is probably related to the upcoming battle for the magic network.

In the game world, it was because of the assistance of their players that the war was won with great danger.

But it is different here. In addition to the changed timeline, even Brian himself has become a loner and can only fight alone.
