Chapter 10 Mastery (Thanks to the leader of Pudding Wumao!)
"Bang!"
Along with a muffled sound, a cloud of white dust rose up in the small tree house.
Ronan strolled out amid the diffuse smoke and dust, patting the stone dust on his robe expressionlessly.
It seems that this is not the first time a similar situation has happened.
"Failed again!"
Ronan waited until the smoke and dust in the hut cleared, then walked in. He looked at the three blank rune stones left on the improvised simple workbench, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
At this time, almost a month had passed since he started studying the rune imprints.
Three days ago, he started to officially try to engrave [Cleaning] runes on blank rune stones. As a result, he carved seventeen blank rune stones in a row, but still failed.
"It's obviously just a little bit close."
Ronan recalled the failed experience just now. He had almost completed 97% of the entire rune engraving. The entire [Cleaning] rune had jumped onto the stone. However, he failed to control the last few swords and fell short.
The energy particles even ran out of control, causing the entire rune stone to explode.
"After all, my strength is a bit lacking. By the end of the game, I felt like I couldn't keep up, both mentally and physically."
Ronan dipped a towel in water and patted his face, wiping the fatigue between his brows and analyzing the reasons for the failure.
Rune engraving is an extremely energy-consuming thing, because the entire engraving process requires mental guidance, and must be concentrated and done in one go, without any pause in the middle.
Ronan's current level 2 wizard apprentice's mental power was engraved with the [Cleaning] rune. At the end of the engraving, his mental power was exhausted to the bottom, his condition declined, and he was unable to continue.
"Actually, my progress is already pretty fast. Most wizards probably haven't even mastered it yet."
After all, the panel's ability did not disappoint Ronan, and the entire rune research process went smoothly.
Whether it is copying practice or carving practice, his progress is very fast. After officially getting started with rune stones, he can gain a lot of new insights and experiences every time he fails.
In the first seventeen attempts, his progress was almost at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Every time you fail, the progress next time will be pushed forward a lot.
On the sixteenth try, Ronan reached 95%. He thought he would be completely successful this time, but he was still a little behind.
"There is no difference between almost succeeding and missing by a lot, because I only have these few materials. If the remaining three blank rune stones are used up and it still doesn't work, I can only consider taking out a loan or selling them."
Ronan sighed softly and called up his character panel.
[Name: Ronan Damien]
【Age: 16】
[Talent: No Attribute Affinity]
[Strength: Level 2 Wizard Apprentice (13%)]
[Skill: Basic Meditation (Proficiency 156/200)
Energy Missiles (Mastery 334/400)
Charged weapons (entry 68/100)]
Within a month, all abilities increased.
Mental power has not increased much, and the progress of the second-level wizard apprentice has only advanced by 10%.
At this rate, Ronan will be promoted to the third level wizard apprentice in nine months.
Of course, the time may also be shortened, because Ronan's proficiency in [Basic Meditation Technique] has been improving, and the effect of each meditation is getting better and better.
[Energy Missile] was trained by Ronan to a level of mastery beyond proficiency, and the casting speed accelerated again. Now Ronan only needs to recite a few spell syllables and use simple gestures to successfully release it. The total casting time has been compressed to less than three seconds, and the power of [Energy Missile] has also been slightly improved.
In order to enrich his attack methods, Ronan also learned five zero-level spells called [Charging Weapons].
The function of this spell is to add a temporary enchantment effect to the weapon. It is actually a thin layer of energy particles. Every time the "charged" weapon collides with an object, the energy particles attached to the weapon will be consumed, causing similar The killing effect of the explosion.
Ronan is not good at close combat, and he is only averagely interested in this skill. He has practiced it casually, and is now at the introductory stage.
"Crack!"
Ronan threw the wet towel into the basin, causing a splash of water. Ronan stood up and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
Staying in the house all the time studying rune engravings was quite tiring. On the one hand, it was mentally exhausted. The small tree house was humid and hot, and Ronan's buttocks ached from sitting, which was not good for his health.
After landing along the long vine, Ronan coughed twice, feeling a dull pain in his left chest.
After long-term and high-frequency meditation activities, energy particles eroded the lungs more and more seriously, and Ronan already felt affected.
"Knight training method. Knight training method... If you really can't do it, write back and ask people from the earldom to send a few copies. You just have to wait a year or two."
Ronan thought as he walked into the woods in front of him in hunting clothes.
In the quiet forest, the light is dim, and there seems to be a light mist lingering in the forest all year round.
Strange-shaped trees grew wildly everywhere, and there was a thick layer of rotten leaves and moss underfoot.
"Rustling!"
There was a slight sound in his ears, and the mental energy huddled in Ronan's mind quickly spread. He locked the direction of the sound and spoke a short, rapid tone.
"Woo! Lu! Ba!"
He clicked randomly with his fingers, and the air in front of his eyes quickly distorted.
A dark blue light ball the size of a fist quickly condensed out and then shot out.
"boom!"
A bush about ten meters in front of Ronan exploded, dirt and grass blades flew everywhere, and a thick oak tree slowly fell.
Ronan walked over slowly and calmly, and found a bloody trace in a huge mud pit.
Judging from the bits of fur left on the pit wall, it seemed that the one who had just made the noise was an unlucky wild wolf.
"The wizard is indeed extraordinary and the power of his spells is too great."
Ronan sighed as he looked at his "masterpiece" in front of him.
In the secular world, ordinary people who want to cause such destructive power must master the art of knights to a very high level, and this is just the effect of a zero-level low-level spell.
The excellence of the wizards in this group is evident.
Now Ronan is much more calm and confident in the forest in this area than before, especially after his proficiency in [Energy Missile] reached mastery. He felt that he was qualified to fight even against a third-level apprentice.
His spellcasting speed is much faster than that of ordinary low-level apprentice wizards, and the power of the [Energy Missile] at the mastery level is probably two or three times greater than that at the entry level.
Of course, the so-called combat power assessment is just Ronan's own one-sided guess. He has not fought against other wizards yet, and he has no idea what the battle between wizards is like.
Coupled with the existence of magic props, there are too many uncertain factors in a battle.
Ronan continued to move forward along his usual morning exercise route. The fresh air in the woods and the quiet and beautiful environment gradually soothed his tired soul.
When they reached a tree spring, Ronan knelt down and washed his hands and face, feeling much refreshed.
Thanks to my good brother Pudding Wumao as the leader~~
