Sauron finally decided to master the specialty of [Bo Wen Qiang Ji].
The other three feats can be mastered through training, but innate feats are difficult to obtain through conventional means. Bowen memorization is a very useful feat ability. If there is no photographic memory feat, many people will master it at the very beginning it. When Sauron chose a new specialty, the killing experience consumed had reached nearly 3,000 points. The professional level of a wizard already consumes a lot of experience, and now there is an additional penalty for part-time job, enough killing experience to raise a thief to level 5 or above, but only enough to upgrade a wizard to level 4.
"The wizard profession has been raised to level 4."
"Acquire 24 (intelligence value 19 + (intelligence 19-10) * 0.5) skill points, and the life value increases by 9 points (professional life 4 points + (physical constitution 20-10) * 0.5)."
"Get a free attribute point."
no doubt.
Sauron continued to improve his intelligence, and just reached 20 points of extraordinary intelligence. In the future, even if the magic net collapses, he will not completely lose his ability to cast spells. Because there is an extra part-time job, and the promotion of the thief class also increases the experience penalty of 20%. Now he needs to upgrade to a level 7 thief from the original 4500 points to 5400 points.
The more part-time jobs, the slower the speed of improving strength.
"Although there is an extra 20% experience penalty, it also gets 2 additional attributes."
Sauron looked at his data template, and murmured: "Generally speaking, it's not a loss, at least the improved combat effectiveness after mastering spells is very obvious."
The 20% experience penalty is already very serious, especially after the professional level is raised in the later stage.
So Sauron basically gave up the idea of working part-time in other professions, and if possible, he would try to advance to one of the professions. The most obvious advantage of part-time jobs in the early stage is the additional attribute points obtained. You can exchange killing experience for more attribute points. If you work part-time in four occupations at the same time, you can even get an extra 6 free attribute points in the early stage. But the disadvantage is that the speed of leveling up is very slow, and 60% of the experience penalty can torture the dead. It may not be so easy to enter the ranks of high-level occupations in the future.
The skill points were mainly allocated to knowledge. Sauron raised his knowledge to 90 points, and then allocated 5 points to spell recognition.
The remaining killing experience is running out.
After Sauron allocated all the abilities, the current data page has become:

…
"There are already 8 specialties."
Sauron took a closer look at his data page, and murmured: "There are two more specialties than the same level as before. If you can advance to legend, you should be much stronger than before!"
He gently opened the spell book, trying to analyze the model structure of the first spell with mental power.
—Arcane Missile.
The most commonly used ring of spells by casters, the advantage is that they are powerful and the casting time is very short.
There is only one second.
"Arcane missile [a ring of spells]: The caster condenses the arcane energy to form a ball at the fingertips, and launches it towards a specific target. It has a base spell power of 5 points, and every 2 professional levels can add an arcane missile. Missiles, a spellcaster with class level 9 can launch up to 5 arcane missiles at the same time."
Although it is only a one-level spell, the spell models and spells recorded on it actually have more than ten pages.
Sauron first flipped through it roughly, recorded the basic characters and patterns in his mind, and then began to meditate to connect the magic net, and at the same time tried to build a spell model based on the knowledge of the spell book.
Midnight passed quickly.
When Sauron opened his eyes and closed the spell book, his face was slightly pale and his expression was extremely tired.
Even if it was only a one-link spell, it was very difficult for him to construct the spell model, mainly because there were more than 300 spell nodes in the arcane missile spell, and there were about 50 spell loops in addition. If it weren't for his very good memory, it would take several days to even memorize the basic structure.
"This is simply a magical version of an energy gun."
Sauron frowned and rubbed his head, then opened the spell book again, and felt dizzy after just one glance. He knew that his spirit was about to reach its limit. The spell node of the Arcane Missile includes three parts: energy extraction, energy compression, and spell circuit guidance. If you use the energy gun of the interstellar era as a standard explanation, it means that the energy ammunition is composed of the magic power of the wizard, and the firearm itself is composed of spiritual power. The spell model, hitting the target is guided by the spell circuit, which is a bit like an infrared aiming guide device.
"It's less than a fifth of it done."
Sauron roughly flipped through the spell book, then closed his eyes and said, "It will take at least five days to master this first-level spell. With my understanding ability of 20 points of intelligence, plus the specialty of photographic memory, and It takes such a long time to acquire 90 points of knowledge. Wouldn't it take a month or two for other wizards to master this first-level spell?"
In fact, Sauron was wrong.
It takes three months for an ordinary wizard to master a first-level spell, and it takes about three months to learn the first first-level spell after graduating from an apprentice.
Wizards are few in number, and even fewer choose to venture outside.
A considerable number of wizards have been stuck at the door of the third level all their lives, and they have never been able to cross this step to enter the ranks of high-level spellcasters.
The night was getting deeper and deeper.
Sauron was resting on the bed, probably because of mental overdraft, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
That feeling is like memorizing a certain super long academic paper by force before. Although I have tried my best to memorize a lot, I still feel dizzy and feel a little groggy when I lie on the bed.
Overuse your brain.
This was Sauron's first reaction. He tried to meditate to alleviate the situation, but the effect was not obvious. On the contrary, he couldn't go deep into the meditative state because of fatigue.
In the end, he could only wait with his eyes closed, and it took a long time before he fell asleep hazily.
the next day.
It was already noon when Sauron woke up.
His biological clock didn't wake him up for the first time, until the hotel owner knocked on the door, and Sauron got up in a daze.
He overslept today.
But fortunately, my spirit recovered well, and I didn't feel dizzy like yesterday.
As expected, the speed at which spellcasters can improve cannot be compared with melee combat systems. Although Sauron has used killing experience to upgrade to a level 4 wizard, he still hasn't mastered any spells yet. He hurriedly ate something down below, and then rushed towards the direction of White Horse City. The lizardmen in the Black Gas Swamp had already expanded to the outskirts of the wilderness, and this road would be impassable in a short time.
He may need to stay in Whitehorse City for a while.
Fortunately, although there were many wars and killings before the turbulent years, the White Horse City existed until he advanced to the legendary realm. That is to say, even if White Horse City is involved in disputes, it will not be directly destroyed like Amber City, and there should be no problem staying here for a short time.
It has been several days since Sauron left. He planned to go back to see how Vivienne was doing, and then copy some scrolls of 0-level spells.
Although he decided to let Vivienne learn knowledge from the caravan hostess, he was still a little worried after all.
There are very few people in this world who he can trust.
It wasn't until noon on the third day that Sauron returned to Whitehorse City. Because of the recent frequent accidents, the fire didn't concentrate on investigating it. Now the whole city is talking about another matter.
Amber City is in ruins!
The speed of information dissemination in this era is very slow. It has been such a long time before the news of the destruction of Amber City came.
Although he had already guessed something, Sauron was silent for a long time when he actually heard it.
A city is destroyed like this!
The number of casualties cannot be calculated yet, but it is likely to exceed tens of thousands. This major event shocked many places, and even attracted many churches to start sending high-level professionals to investigate, and there were even figures from the Legendary Domain. Some churches sought answers from the gods of justice, but surprisingly, they did not get any response or oracle. Although the priests could still obtain magic spells, it seemed that all the gods had disappeared.
They no longer respond to the prayers of believers, and certain rituals cannot move their will to come down. All divine prayers are like sinking into the sea, without any waves emerging.
This news was blocked very tightly, but many people still felt it.
Something big seems to have happened in the kingdom of the gods!
All the gods have fallen into silence one by one recently. Clerics can still obtain magic spells through prayers, but they can no longer contact the gods they believe in.
