An inconspicuous small courtyard.
Sauron held the scimitar and practiced one move after another. It has been two days since he came back to White Horse City, and it has been very peaceful during this time. During the day, he would read and practice the white crow swordsmanship, and at night he would continue to study spell models. Now he has mastered 10 level 0 spells. There are hundreds of low level tricks. He can only choose the useful ones to learn first. The research progress of the level 1 spell Arcane Missile has also reached about 80%. If it goes well, tonight You can master the first official spell. As the research progressed faster and faster, his understanding of spell models also gradually increased.
Many spell models are similar, and high-level spells often contain lower-level spell models.
For example, the second-level spell 'Acid Arrow', although the structure of its spell model is very complicated, possibly as many as hundreds or thousands of spell nodes, but many of its internal structures overlap with the level 0 spell 'Acid Splash'. The same is true of the 'Arcane Missile' that Sauron is currently researching. In the future, if he learns the fourth ring 'Secondary Missile Storm', he can import the spell model of the Arcane Missile into it, so as to greatly reduce the time for learning spells. .
Arcane Missile fires up to 5 energy missiles at a time, and secondary missile storm fires 15-25 energy missiles at a time.
The more you study the principle structure of many spell models, the easier it will be.
However, learning the white crow swordsmanship is not fast, and it takes a long time to master this kind of mid-to-high level combat skills. Normal training of White Crow Swordsmanship takes three to five years to achieve some success. Therefore, although Sauron has a good talent, he has only recovered some skills in the past few days, and it is far from being proficient. . There are not many shortcuts in combat skill training, and it took him a long time to train [Sword Power - Cross Slash].
At noon, he will go to the caravan station to accompany Vivian.
The afternoon sun in autumn was very warm, and the two of them leaned together to bask in the sun, and the little girl would often fall asleep lying on his body.
This age is when she is growing up, and because of the heavy learning tasks, she seems to be lethargic.
If there is something new, the little girl will lie on his knees and think about it, and then tell him what she has learned and what happened today, and she will always fall asleep unconsciously at the end of the talk. Learning spells is actually a very boring thing. Goliath obviously wants to train the little girl to be an all-round spellcaster, otherwise she wouldn't have taught her so much knowledge other than spells. As for Vivienne's talent, Sauron is only a little bit clearer now, it is simply stronger than himself, as long as he reads and memorizes everything, he can almost understand most of it.
Arguably a true genius.
If it wasn't for Sauron himself not having a special blood talent, he would have even doubted whether Vivienne was the Son of God.
Or descendants of the Son of God.
However, this idea was vetoed by him after only a short while, because most of the sons of gods have supernatural power, and Vivienne doesn't have even a trace of supernatural power, so she should be the kind of magic-casting genius that is one in a million. Besides, the two had the same mother and half father, and Vivian's father had a vague impression in his memory, as if he was just a more powerful adventurer. If there is any blood, it should be the biological father of Sauron's body, after all, he is a thief in his memory.
The spellcasters with wizard towers are at least high-level, and those who dare to go in and steal are basically thieves with a professional level of 15 or above!
Because God knows how many traps and golems there are.
For any wizard tower in operation, the challenge level is above level 15, which is about the same difficulty as killing an adult red dragon.
The construction price of the Wizard Tower is basically above 1 million Kindler.
If you have a certain amount of money, this tower can also deform and even fly. The wizard tower in its final form can be advanced into a different-dimensional fortress and a floating fortress, which is one of the few things that can leave a psychological shadow on legendary thieves. It is also the only special building in this world that can fight a tough battle with the kingdom of gods head-on. There are ancient records that the great arcanist sent the floating fortress to the kingdom of heaven, and then forced a god to lie down.
…
After dawdling for so long, Baima City finally started to make some moves.
For the efficiency of the world's ruling class, Sauron felt extremely contemptuous. In the Battle of the Southern Islands, he was killed by the noble council. Otherwise, he would no longer be concerned about the kingdom war, and shifted his focus to the adventure of the small team. Basically, Sauron doesn't have any sense of identity with all the countries in the world, and he basically used knives on more than half of the countries he accepted during his wanderings.
Whoever gives more money, he will kill whose enemy!
The guards of White Horse City are finally ready to go. The assembled army includes a squad of knights, and also employs a large number of adventurers.
After being blocked for nearly a week, the city hall came up with a feasible plan, mobilized the wizards stationed in the city, assembled an army of 2,000 people, and began to clean up the monsters on the main road. In wars in this world, large battles with more than 100,000 people rarely occur. Even in the kingdom, the number of people fighting is only tens of thousands. It is not because of the small population, but because the soldiers trained by ordinary people are not very effective.
This place pays attention to the elite army, and the real soldiers are all soldiers from the proletariat.
The population of Baima City is more than 500,000, but the permanent army is only about 5,000. These people are all regular soldiers out of production and spend more than half of their time in training every year. Basically, the army is full of advanced fighters, but most of their professional levels are below level five, and only those who have been honed on the battlefield can break through to level five or above.
Sauron is also ready to act with them.
Killing experience is never enough. With such an opportunity to act with a group, he naturally has to find a way to gain more experience.
midnight.
Sauron finally learned his first level 1 spell, and at the same time gained an additional 100 points of professional experience. Wizards can gain professional experience by learning formal spells, but the amount they get is not much. There are only 100 points for first-level spells, 200 points for second-level spells, 400 points for third-level spells, and 800 points for fourth-level spells. The professional experience gained from the 5th level spell is very considerable, a 5th level spell has 1600 professional experience points.
Level 6 spells are 3200 points, level 7 spells are 6400 points, and level 8 spells are 12800 points.
The 9th-level spells are not known yet, but there should be a lot of them.
From this point of view, it seems that it is not difficult for wizards to increase their professional level, but the problem is that wizards learn spells very slowly. It takes one or two months to learn high-level spells, so they are destined to be inferior to what other people get from killing. Experience. Moreover, the prices of these spells are not cheap, and the more advanced the spells are, the more difficult it is to obtain them.
"Finally finished."
After Sauron successfully constructed the spell model of the Arcane Missile, he immediately began to memorize spells. He is now a level 4 wizard with 3 level 1 spell slots. He also has a low-level wizard ring, which can add an additional 1 spell slot. Level spell slots. That is to say, he can now memorize 4 first-level spells, although currently only arcane missiles can be memorized.
The time of memory is not long.
It only took Sauron about two hours to complete the spell memory, and constructed the spell model of the arcane missile for the four spell slots formed after contacting the magic net.
"Item type: Ring of low-level wizards.
Item level: [first-order extraordinary item]
Item description: The ring of the wizard made with special material enchantment can help the caster store some extra spell slots.
Equipment Requirements: None.
Equipment effect: Add 1 first-level spell slot. "
Among the supernatural item-level rings, the most expensive one is the wizard ring with increased spell slots, because it can flexibly memorize various types of spells. The second is a single-type enchanted ring, on which the corresponding spell can be charged additionally. For example, the withered wooden stick that Sauron got was +1, and there was a level 1 divine spell 'Entanglement' that had been fully charged three times. After it was used up, a corresponding professional must be required to restore the charge. More advanced extraordinary items can be recharged by themselves, and can be used a certain number of times per day, but the price and the materials used to make them are very expensive.
"Item Type: Withered Wooden Staff +1.
Item level: [first-order extraordinary item]
Item Description: Use a special wooden staff blessed by divine magic to launch additional druid magic, and a green leaf on it is full of vitality.
Equipment Requirements: None.
Equipment Effect: You can use level 1 magic [Entwining] (2/3 times). "
Memory complete.
Sauron stood up impatiently, and then walked out of the room. He needed to test the power of the Arcane Missile. He first took out a wooden board with a thickness of about three centimeters, and then found a piece of iron with a thickness of about 0.5 centimeters. It was his habit to test his strength before fighting.
“OZR…”
The casting time of Arcane Missile is very short, only one second, and the spell is three interleaved monosyllables.
As Sauron pointed forward, two arcane missiles the size of ping-pong balls emerged and landed on the wooden board in front of him instantly. The flying speed of the spell is extremely fast. Although the evasion spell may be successful, it needs to be predicted in advance, just like dodging a bullet needs to predict the shooting position of the opponent, the direction of the arm aiming before shooting, etc. The speed of the arcane missile is similar to that of a bullet, and the possibility of dodging after casting the spell is very low. If you want to dodge it, you have to prepare before the opponent casts the spell.
Because Arcane Missiles only hit the first target they come across, which is the case with many spells.
Even the 'dissociation technique' and 'finger of death' that everyone has heard about will only act on the first object they touch. Sauron had a hamster with him for a while, and kept it as a pet. When he saw the red light of the finger of death, he threw the hamster out. If you are lucky, you can block a spell. If you are unlucky, you can only rely on your physical fortitude save to resist the instant death judgment.
Because he didn't master [Spell Control], the arcane missile's flight path was a straight line, and a hole was punched out of the three-centimeter-thick wooden board, and both missiles hit the same location. However, when Sauron released the spell for the second time, the arcane missile only punched a pit on the iron plate, and the spell power he possessed could not penetrate a 0.5 cm thick iron plate.
"It's okay to deal with non-armored enemies." Sauron picked up the iron plate and observed it carefully, and said to himself: "It's much worse against armored enemies, but fortunately, the casting speed is very short, and it may surprise you if you use it well. Effect."
In the future, if you learn 'Missile Storm', a single spell can sieve plate armor and shields.
