Chapter 392 The Most Powerful Spell [Prayer]
Floating City, Azera Great Library,
Li Si was standing in front of the magic crystal, happily flipping through the library collection. Catalog of legendary magic books.
This is the most precious and top-level knowledge. Just from the names of these magic books, you can see how precious the magic knowledge recorded in these magic books is.
"Catalogue of Forbidden Arts in Netheril·Detailed Explanation (64th Edition)"
"Secret Scroll·Legendary Spell [Time Stop]"
"Secret Scroll·Legendary Spell [Prayer]"
"Encyclopedia of Necromantic Spells (Legendary Level)"
"Azera·Elemental Golem Manufacturing Manual"
"Azera·Floating City Construction Notes"
Li Sim happily looked through all the legendary magic books in Azera's library, making choices with happiness and trouble.
These legendary-level magic books are indeed quite precious. Each book almost represents the top of a mage's research field.
Especially the methods of casting ultimate spells such as the legendary spells [Prayer] and [Stop Time], Li Si has not seen from Mr. Stephens.
Of course, it may be that Teacher Stephens kept all those ultimate spells away in order to prevent him from being too ambitious.
[Prayer] and [Standstill Time] are the most famous legendary spells, the mysteries of which cannot even be understood by the gods.
Of course, in addition to this, the methods for casting Azela's elemental golem and the construction methods for floating cities are also extremely precious secrets, as well as various spell collections that record top magic secrets, etc.
These are all valuable treasures of knowledge for Li Si, but now Li Si can only choose one book from them.
After all, Black Cat can only upgrade his authority to gold level now, and he can only choose one legendary magic book every month.
I learned from Black Cat that the so-called gold-level authority of this great library does not correspond to the strength of the gold-level, but to the contribution made to Azera Floating City.
There are not many people with gold-level permissions in the floating city. Most of them are legendary-level existences, second only to the legendary-level permissions possessed by the controller of the floating city.
Li Si would be satisfied if he could have gold-level permissions, at least he could have access to the legendary magic book.
So which one should I choose?
While Li Si was thinking, the black cat had slipped out of the magic crystal in front of him.
Having mastered the highest authority of Azera's Great Library, it does not need to stay in the central crystal all the time. It prefers the water elemental golem it just obtained.
Li Si didn't care about the black cat. This guy had already proven its effectiveness and continued to transform into the azure girl. It was arrogantly walking in this large library that was regarded as its new territory. Wandering around.
However, the permissions of the entire large library were very rigid, and she did not have the authority to change the rules. After walking around for a while, she casually took out an "Ogre Cooking Manual" from the library. Watched it with relish.
Black Cat also granted herself gold-level permissions, but she didn't care about those legendary magic books. She would take whatever was interesting.
Seeing this scene, Li Si's eyes lit up and he said:
"Black Cat, can you lend me a legendary magic book?"
"No. .”
Black Cat didn't even raise his head and directly rejected Li Si's idea, not wanting to try it at all.
“There are restrictions in this library. Magic books that cannot be borrowed are given to others.”
“Then what about you reading them to me?”
Li Si wanted to continue looking for loopholes in the library, but the black cat rolled his eyes and said:
"What a beautiful idea, do you think others can't think of this?"
"I checked it when I authorized you just now. The legendary magic books in this library are not recorded in words, but are passed down with spiritual imprints through special magic props."
"If there is no way There is no way to understand the knowledge contained in it."
"Or do you think I can understand the knowledge in those legendary magic books?"
"Tsk!"
Li Si shook his head helplessly.
Indeed, although this floating city has been silent for a long time, it must have been operating normally for many years. There cannot be too many loopholes for him to exploit.
In other words, Li Si was already cheating by using Black Cat to upgrade his authority level.
Just be content. Anyway, he can borrow a legendary magic book a month now.
In one month, it would be impossible for him to master the knowledge of a legendary magic book.
This is destined to be a long process, but Li Si doesn't care.
Just kidding, any mage who comes to this place is like a mouse falling into a rice vat.
How could you miss such a good opportunity?
In this case, there is no need to hesitate too much!
After calming down, Li Si no longer thought about it and directly selected one of the legendary magic books from the catalog list.
On a black bookshelf at the core of the mid-air, a crystal ball emitting dreamy colorful light fell down and appeared in front of Li Si.
Li Si stretched out his hand and gently grasped the fist-sized crystal ball. Feeling the warmth in his hand, he couldn't help but tighten his grip a little.
"Secret Scroll·Legendary Spell [Prayer]"!
After all, this is [Prayer Technique]!
This is known as one of the most powerful spells.
Being able to fulfill any wish sounds like it is more powerful than the power of gods.
Li Si looked at the dreamy crystal ball in his hand and tried to use his mental power to explore the crystal ball.
As if the energy of the entire crystal ball suddenly had an outlet, a surge of mysterious knowledge poured into Li Si's mind.
I don’t know how long it took before Li Si woke up from his trance.
Li Si looked at the bored black cat sitting aside and asked:
“How long was I stunned just now?”
"More than an hour."
The black cat yawned and said listlessly.
No way, she gets sleepy when she reads.
How did Li Si see it? Li Si didn't care about Black Cat's reaction and rubbed his somewhat swollen head.
Looking at the dreamy crystal ball that had been returned to the bookshelf, Li Si sighed.
He only knew about [Prayer Technique] before and heard about the power of this spell. It was known as [Universal Wishing Machine].
But I didn’t expect this spell to be so tricky!
[Prayer], as a legendary spell, is not something that Li Si can use now. Even with the relevant knowledge, Li Si cannot fully understand it.
The effect of this spell is quite strange and idealistic. No one knows how this spell works. It is as if this spell suddenly appeared in the world of Gaia.
Countless generations of mages have not made much progress in the research and exploration of [Prayer Technique]. The only thing they have figured out is the conditions and rules of [Prayer Technique].
The effect of [Prayer] is very simple. The user only needs to say the wish he wants to realize.
You only need to speak your wish out loud, and you can control the foundation of the real world in your hands!
By using [Prayer], you can reproduce any spell, and you can also generate or remove specific spell effects;
You can heal injuries and resurrect the dead;
You can create magic items out of thin air and use them to travel anywhere in the world.
The user can put forward any wish to [Prayer], and [Prayer] can also realize seemingly impossible wishes.
However, [Prayer Technique] does not always go as planned.
First, the casting of [Prayer] is not guaranteed to be successful.
Second, even if the use of [Prayer Technique] is successful, the way to realize the wish may not necessarily be what the user expects.
Depending on how [Prayer Technique] fulfills wishes, the user may face the following results.
[Prayer Technique] The result is a great success, the user's wish is successfully realized without any consequences or shortcomings.
[Prayer] The result is success. The user's wish is successfully realized, but it will bring unexpected consequences or side effects. For example, the wealth just obtained came from a well-known criminal, and he may be retaliated against. , the process of wish fulfillment may anger hostile gods.
The result of [Prayer] is failure. The user's wish was not realized and the result was not obtained. Alternatively, the user's wishes may be partially fulfilled, but to a lesser extent, and the target's wishes will never be realized.
[Prayer] turned out to be a huge failure. The user's wish was corrupted, and it was realized in a cruel form. The result is often ironic and unacceptable to the user. For example, a person who prays for wealth is forever trapped in an underground treasure house full of wealth. A person who prays for power is teleported to the kingdom when the kingdom is destroyed and becomes the king of the kingdom.
Hmm.
Li Si has a headache.
Sure enough, the use of any power has its price, even the [Prayer], which is known as the most powerful spell, is the same.
Even though the fruits of [Prayer] are not limited to a fixed area and range, this degree of freedom also brings the danger of being difficult to control.
For example, Li Si now uses [Prayer] and wants to directly become a legendary mage.
[Prayer Technique] may indeed allow Li Si to break through to the legendary level in an instant, but the next moment his body may be exploded by the skyrocketing magic power in his body and turn into a puddle of ashes.
The use of [Prayer] was successful, even if it was only for a second, Li Si did become a legendary mage.
But that was not the ending Li Si expected.
The legendary mages of the Netheril Magic Empire have tried many times on the effect of [Prayer] and discovered certain patterns.
The most important thing is that the more difficult it is to make a wish come true through the [Prayer Technique], the more it exceeds one's ability, and the more terrifying the consequences of the wish come true.
There is a sentence in "Secret Scroll·Legendary Spell [Prayer]",
[Just like magic always requires a price, you have no way of knowing the price of the wish, and its realization is not Always in line with your wishes]
Even those legendary mages who have mastered [Prayer] are very cautious in using [Prayer], and rarely use this spell to complete those things that they do not want. A very realistic wish.
But this does not mean that [Prayer Technique] is useless.
In the exploration of previous generations, the greatest use of [Prayer] is still in simulating various spells.
After many tests, the legendary mages of the Magic Empire of Netheril found that when using [Prayer] to simulate spells of the eighth level and below, [Prayer] is almost certain to succeed, and will almost never bring any problems. to have any negative effects.
This also makes [Prayer] one of the most practical legendary spells.
In fact, there is not much difference between nine-ring spells and most legendary spells. Many legendary spells are also similar in power to nine-ring spells.
However, due to issues such as personality and judgment, only legendary mages are qualified to cast legendary spells.
In addition to hidden trump cards, even legendary mages do not often use legendary spells in battle, because legendary spells often require sufficient preparation time and expensive casting materials, and are not very practical during the casting process. .
Most legendary mages apparently use mid- to high-level spells as the basis of their combat methods.
But the wish spell is an exception among legendary spells.
Compared with other legendary spells, the method of using the wish spell is quite simple.
In addition to shouting out the wish, you only need to spend a certain amount of magic power to realize the wish, and there is only one casting action.
This is lower than the casting requirements of many medium and high-level spells, and can eliminate the materials required for high-level spell casting.
Therefore, [Prayer] is still quite practical in mage combat as long as you don't have to do those weird things.
If it weren't for the relatively long cooling time of [Prayer], casting [Prayer] during combat would have become a daily routine for Netheril's legendary mages.
“I use the eighth-level spell [Yangyan Explosion]!”
“I use the eighth-level spell [Rainbow Wall]!”
“Then I use the seventh-level spell. Ring spell [Insanity]”
"Okay, okay, then I'll use the eighth-level spell [Psychic Barrier]!"
Li Si thought that this picture was a bit too beautiful, so he could just win the battle by talking nonsense.
It is still too early for Li Si to want to use [Prayer], but there is another lower-level spell mentioned in "Secret Scroll·Legendary Spell [Prayer]".
The seventh-level spell [Limited Wishes]!
Unlike the legendary spell [Prayer], the seventh-level spell [Limited Wishes] does not have the ability to realize those bizarre wishes. The effect is limited to simulating low-level spells.
[Limited Wish Technique] can simulate spells of the sixth level and below, and has different realization probabilities depending on the spell type.
[Limited Wishes] A simulated and copied spell has the same saving throw and spell resistance as the original spell, but it cannot exempt the spell from using conditions and casting materials.
Compared with [Prayer Technique], there are undoubtedly many more restrictions, but [Limited Prayer Technique] is safer, and there will be no negative impact even if it fails.
It’s quite rewarding!
Li Si thought about it for a while, and then sighed.
Sure enough, as he thought before, the knowledge recorded in these legendary magic books is not something Li Si can master or even understand now.
You still have to calm down and go forward step by step!
Well, bring Risa back later, she will definitely like it here!
