There was a hint of panic in Baima City.
Because as the news of the destruction of Amber City came back, there was another gossip circulating.
That is, the elite investigation corps sent out by White Horse City was directly tortured and killed by the two-headed ogre, and the torture was merciless, and only a few people escaped alive. It is reported that the two-headed ogre is a high-level wizard, powerful enough to threaten the safety of White Horse City. The strength of a professional is not written on the face. If the opponent does not explode with real strength, you have to test your own eyesight if you want to judge.
The two-headed ogre has a [Multiple Casting] feat.
This is the most powerful innate spellcasting feat. Even the gods cannot easily obtain it. As the name suggests, its function is to cast spells multiple times. The head of the double-headed ogre can use two spells separately, even if the number of spells it masters cannot compare Human wizards, but the burst of lethality is several times that of human wizards. If it is really a high-level wizard, then with its own creature level, the challenge level of the two-headed ogre is legendary.
Born with more than 18 points of strength, far beyond the physique of ordinary people, plus the spellcasting ability of a high-level wizard.
Can fight, can cast spells, can fight.
To deal with such an existence, at least half of the team in the legendary field can guarantee that there will be no major casualties, and the difficulty of the challenge will not be too far from that of an adult dragon.
Sauron entered the secret shop very carefully, and the guards in White Horse City became much stricter.
It was already evening at this time, because he wasted a little time avoiding the guards patrolling him, so he didn't go to the caravan station to see Vivienne, but first copied the scroll of the 0-level spell, and then found a place to stay for one night. Whitehorse City has completely implemented a curfew. No one is allowed to move around after dark. If found, they will be questioned or even arrested. Although he was not strictly investigated, Sauron didn't want to deal with those guards at all.
He is a loafer.
These guys don't have a good impression of rogues by nature, and they may find trouble to lock you up for nothing.
…
The Arcane Shop sells most spell scrolls.
However, the highest level limit is 5-level spells, and spell scrolls above 5-level are difficult to buy through conventional means, and must be obtained from some special organizations. Wizards still maintain an ancient knowledge monopoly, and many wizard organizations must join them to learn higher-level spells. As for the top-level spells above level 8, certain conditions must be met before they can be learned, because these spells have amazing destructive power.
Level 0 spells are very cheap, only a dozen Kindlers, but Level 1 spells are several times more expensive, requiring dozens of Kindlers. Some may cost over 100 Kindlers. Most of the second-level spells start at 150 Kindlers, and many of them will be close to 300 Kindlers. Most of the level 3 spells cost around 500 Kindlers, and a few of them will reach the value of 800 Kindlers. Level 4 spells and above basically cost more than 1,000 Kindlers, and a small number of spell scrolls are worth as much as 3,000-5,000 Kindlers.
So when Sauron saw the price, he immediately realized how hard it was for the wizards back then.
As a Faye, you will always be short of money, even though you are really rich!
Sauron only bought the lowest-level 0-level spells, and he couldn't afford more expensive ones, and he wouldn't be able to use them for the time being.
Although spell scrolls are very powerful, they are extremely expensive and difficult to produce. If they are not copied into spell books but used for one-time use, a little bit of intense fighting can bankrupt you. Sometimes even after a battle, the Kindler income obtained is not enough for a fraction of the cost of making the spell scroll.
It was getting dark.
Sauron found a hotel to rest, and then began to flip through the spell books.
The period before the appearance of the ancient red dragon was relatively peaceful, and there were not many earth-shattering events.
The only serious thing is a big explosion, other than that, everything is relatively peaceful for the time being. Because the gods also fell silent, and began to fight against a terrible energy storm, until they were stripped of their divine power by this energy storm and fell to the mortal world. Regarding the big bang, Sauron didn't remember very clearly, but only vaguely remembered part of the information.
About a short time later, there was a huge explosion at a place called 'Stonard' in a polar location.
The power of the explosion was equivalent to the tonnage of 100 atomic bombs, and it enveloped an area within a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers. At the same time, it forced many populations near the poles to migrate on a large scale, and further intensified the war and killing in the southern region a year later. This amount of explosion was calculated by some scientific researchers at that time, because they had a lot of advantages in the profession of wizards. There are no clues about this big bang. There are existences in the legendary realm seeking answers from the gods, but the gods have fallen into silence.
They didn't find any man-made signs, and there were no obvious traces of spells. It was very likely that it was a big explosion that occurred naturally.
at last.
The event has been classified as a 'Nature's Mystery' and ranks among the top three bombings of its kind on Earth.
Many people therefore gave up the task of exploring the possible legendary events that may exist later.
There have been three bizarre explosions on the earth, namely China's "Apocalypse Big Bang", India's "Dead Hill Incident" and Russia's "Tunguska Big Bang".
Among them, the Tunguska explosion occurred at around 7 am on June 30, 1908. The power of the explosion was equivalent to 500 atomic bombs or dozens of hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time. There has been no definite answer to this matter, and it was deduced at last that an explosion of 'antimatter annihilation' occurred. (knowledge)
Inside this world.
The same is true for the big explosion that will happen in the polar region "Stonard". Although it is only one-fifth of the power of the Tunguska explosion, there are still many spellcasters who have entered into the investigation, and some people have even used the "Legendary Prophecy" , but still no clues. The gods just lost their perception of the mortal world during this period, so they don't know the cause of the big explosion. They can only be sure that the explosion mutated that area, and some special things appeared that even the demons felt dangerous. biology.
Those creatures will not leave the range of the explosion, so the threat is not too great.
Sauron had also visited there before, but since he was not a spellcaster, he couldn't find many clues, so he quickly left there.
Until the gods return to heaven, there is an unknown place.
There is still no clue about the big bang, but the consequences have spread to the whole world. Many creatures near the poles have seen the terrifying mushroom cloud rising, and the shamans predicted that there will be terrible disasters coming. So this forced the large-scale migration of biological populations near the poles, and many races that had disappeared appeared in the eyes of the world. But it should be still early, because it will take about a year for them to migrate here.
Regarding this big bang, the most reliable inference is related to the anti-matter annihilation spell during the Arcane Empire period.
Most wizards believed that only things from that era could produce such a terrifying explosion, but unfortunately no one could find the real answer.
…
Inside the hotel.
Sauron temporarily gave up his research on arcane missiles and began to memorize the most basic level 0 spell models.
It may be because he studied level 1 spells first, and when he constructed a level 0 spell model, he immediately felt a lot easier. Especially the simplest light spell, which has less than 30 spell nodes, plus a spell circuit that is not too difficult. Sauron actually completed the model construction of the 'Light Art' in less than two hours.
but.
At this time, a row of data also emerged:
"Successful study!"
"You have successfully constructed the spell model of the 0-level spell [Light Spell]!... Would you like to spend 30 killing experience points to permanently store it in the data template?"
"After permanent storage, you will not need a spell book to memorize again."
Can it still be like this
There was a hint of surprise on Sauron's face, and he chose to confirm, and then a stream of data emerged, and the data in his brain actually automatically formed the spell model of the light spell.
"ORZ..."
Sauron tried to cast a spell, and a light appeared on his fingertips. As the spell slots were consumed, the successfully constructed spell model also disappeared.
He slowly closed his eyes, and he found that the original spell model was indeed memorized in his brain. He didn't need to memorize it in the spell book, as long as he recalled it, he could reconstruct the spell model.
"If you can store them all?" Sauron looked at his fingertips in surprise, and murmured, "Then I can memorize them without spell books in the future?"
A wizard's spellbook is very important.
Because some high-level spells are too complicated, it is impossible to memorize them without reading the spell book, and they may even lose the ability to cast spells.
It's as if you can't always remember a very long and complicated academic paper, and this academic paper can't make mistakes when recalling it. If you make a mistake, it may explode your head. Therefore, if it can be stored, Sauron can memorize spells in the future after removing the spell book, which is equivalent to forming an invisible spell book in his brain, but this kind of memory requires additional killing experience.
