Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
Grim is a stimulus, suddenly retreating from the deep meditation.
Sit up suddenly from the bed, Grim panted, and everything in the dream was still clearly stored in his body. Even the burning pains are so fresh!
Is it an illusion, a dream, or something else?
Grim started to be a little hesitant.
He has also performed meditation countless times before, every time it is vague, and rarely has such clear and intuitive Spirit feeling. It ’s like ... Just like the dream you just made can be controlled by him!
"Chip, re-check me!" Grim seemed to feel it, and ordered sharply.
*Beep*, start body scan of Host's Body ... The scan is complete, and self-test report starts to be generated ... "
As the chip keeps reminding, a new self-test report is projected into his mind.
Name: Grim
Race: Human
Attributes: strength4, Agility4, Constitution3, Spiritual Force8.03
Faction: Lawful Neutral
Occupation: Apprentice Adept (Novice)
HP: 11/11
Profession Experience: 566/1000
status/mode: Healthy
Profession Skill: Scroll Copy, Spell Reading
Personal Skill: Burning Hand
Sure enough, there have been some unusual changes in his basic data.
If it is not for the accurate monitoring of the chip to the cell level, Grim would never know that the deep meditation just brought 0.03 Spiritual Force increase and 2 points of Profession Experience.
This shows that the suspicious dream-like scene just now is not illusory, but exists and does happen.
So what are those colorful light dots?
As soon as this idea came to mind, the answer came up automatically.
elementium!
Everyone with Adept talent will have a variety of different elemental affinity, and the light dot they see in meditation is actually elementium floating around the entire Adept World. I am a fire elemental affinity, so those unsolicited red light dot is the so-called Fire Elementium.
According to the division of elementium by Adept , their affinity degree for Fire Element is undoubtedly the highest, followed by green plant attribute and khaki Earth Element. As for the others, they have all been excluded by affinity elements.
As for the white light dot that Grim tried to capture in meditation, it should be the so-called Dark Elementium. Due to the discrepancy with the original attributes of Grim's, he wanted to capture Dark Elementium, which is undoubtedly ten times or even hundreds of times more difficult than affinity elements. And those Dark Elementium that do not fit Constitution, although they can also give him a slight increase of Spiritual Force, but also disguised his body.
In his impression, a few of the apprentices in Tower, which are mainly in the dark elemental affinity, are not very good, and they are usually weak, and there are probably factors that have been eroded by Dark Elementium.
It seems that the affinity attribute of apprentice's talent can affect the efficiency of meditation each time, and the efficiency of meditation each time can in turn boost the increase of Spiritual Force of apprentice.
Grim recalled what he saw and heard in the meditation space, and couldn't help frowning. According to his estimation, in the meditation space just now, the number of white light dot is significantly more than that of red Fire Element light dot. Doesn't this mean that in such an environment, the efficiency of apprentice meditation of Dark elemental affinity is definitely higher than itself!
Why is this happening? Shouldn't the basic elementium between heaven and earth be balanced?
Did it ... Is this Tower Adept 's deliberate act?
Grim's's complexion suddenly becomes difficult to look.
He remembered that the most important of the affinity master of Tower, Adept Anderson was dark element and Wind Element.
No wonder that many Apprentice Adepts who have entered swamp Tower at the same time have already mastered two or three Witchcrafts and successfully advanced to Intermediate Level apprentice, but they are still struggling on the road to Novice apprentice. It's not just talent that's dragging down, but this **** "bad" environment.
Grim hesitated a bit and did not try to enter meditation again. For his Novice apprentice, although meditation can slightly increase the total Spirit, it still cannot replace sleep. Therefore, if you want the fastest and best rejuvenation, let's have a good night's sleep.
Looking at Spiritual Force, which had lost more than half of her life, Grim shook her head and smiled bitterly, then fell to bed and slept again.
...
On the second day, Grim, who was still asleep, was awakened by a sudden Chip Notification sound in my head.
At this time, he realized in horror that the Burning Hand Spiritual Force Model for chip curing had been completed.
Soon, all data about this Spiritual Force Model has flowed into Grim perception.
Burning Hand, as an offensive and defensive low rank fire attribute Witchcraft, the power is not huge, but there are still a lot of Witchcraft rune that make up Spiritual Force Model, with as many as 28. Each of the 28 Witchcraft runes has a articulate pronunciation and almost independent special uses. They seem to be not related to each other, but they can be organically coupled to form a complete Spell Model.
If this kind of work is given to an ordinary person, let him take note of 28 mantras that are independent but closely connected, and then sing them out in a good order. .
If he puts Grim at the beginning, he doesn't believe he can do it. But in this bizarre world overflowing with elemental energy, he did it easily.
Of course, this is also related to his Spiritual Force up to 8 o'clock.
In the past, I wanted to sing the Burning Hand of these 28 mantra syllables in one breath. Grim takes 5-7 seconds. However, when it is solidified, Grim can completely save the time of mantra singing, and only need to inject elemental energy into the Burning Hand that has been formed in Spiritual Space.
This also means that he only needs 2-3 seconds to cast produce a full version of Burning Hand, casting magic time is greatly shortened. Even with his deepening control of Fire Element, there is still room for compression at this time.
And there is more than one good news.
Since this is Spiritual Force Model that has been fixed in the mind in advance, there is no need for him to consume Spiritual Force to build it bit by bit. Therefore, this casting magic usually consumes 2 points of Spiritual Force and Burning Hand, and the current loss has dropped to 1 point.
Doesn't this mean that he can double the number of Witchcraft of cast in the future!
This is a discovery that made him ecstatic!
But the great Chip Notification tone sounded again in his mind.
*Beep*, I found that there is still room for improvement in this model. Please Host's Body confirm whether to optimize it? Note that this optimization will consume 1 Spiritual Force / day and require 100 Profession Experience. This task is expected to take 34 hours and 25 minutes! "
Uh, improve Burning Hand?
It sounds great. But why do you need to consume so much Profession Experience? If any operation on Spiritual Force Model needs to consume Profession Experience in the future, I am afraid that the point Profession Experience accumulated in the past 6 years will be squandered.
Grim was not dazzled by this unexpected surprise, but chose to refuse after calm thinking.
First of all, Burning Hand is just a close-up Witchcraft, and the combat value that can be tapped does not satisfy him. Sooner or later it will be replaced by a more valuable long-range attack or defensive magic, so it doesn't make much sense to continue investing in it.
Second, in terms of its current Spiritual Force, the number of curing models that Spiritual Space can hold is less than three. In such a situation of having too many monks, leaving limited Spiritual Space to the Burning Hand with little value is obviously not in line with the optimal development in the future.
Grim itself tends to give priority to curing Witchcraft of long-range attack type, and even the specific target has a draft.
That is another fire attribute Witchcraft——Flame Arrow that he has been studying for half a year.
Flame Arrow, a low rank's fire attribute elemental magic. Able to condense Fire Element into an magic arrow and shoot at the target, causing 7 physical damage and 18 Fire Element burst damage.
With Grim's poor 3 Constitution and 11 life, one Flame Arrow is enough to kill it in seconds. So all along, Grim has been dreaming of getting a remote attack magic.
But unfortunately, it is a low rank or Witchcraft like Flame Arrow, which contains as many as 34 Witchcraft rune. This made him study hard for half a year, and did not really grasp the Spiritual Force Model construction method of it.
For so long, Grim has bet on Flame Arrow this Witchcraft no less than 20 Knowledge point and a lot of time, even their own Witchcraft study has been delayed. But still hovering outside the threshold of success, he did not become the apprentice elite who mastered the plural Witchcraft.
But now with the help of chips, presumably the threshold will be lowered a lot!
Hangingly, regardless of the breakfast time of the day, Grim washed his face in a hurry and sat at the wooden table, turning over his Witchcraft notes. All spell models, magic spell, Spiritual Force oscillation frequency and casting magic materials related to Flame Arrow have been fully copied by Grim.
The real casting magic is by no means as simple as ordinary people think.
The 34 mantra syllable pages are not chanted out in the same way as Xuan Ke, you can complete casting magic of Witchcraft. This process is the result of an extremely complex combination of hands, mouth, heart, and brain.
When chanting each mantra syllable, Grim's Spiritual Force must be converted into a vibration frequency that matches the mantra syllable, and both hands must also complete the necessary gesture guidance.
If there are any errors or delays throughout the process, the only consequence is ... casting magic backlash.
Although such casting magic backlash can't live up to Apprentice Adept's life, the original source of Spiritual Force is damaged, and it is difficult to restore it after a period of maintenance. Frequent source trauma is also likely to cause Spiritual Force decline!
