Richard pursed his lips, quickly activated the brute force of the wind in Ring No. 1, and grabbed the white jade piece with greater strength. The next moment, he heard a "crash" and the white jade piece shattered.
Yes, broken, not cracked, but shattered, broken into many pieces.
Numerous fragments were suspended in mid-air, and before they had time to fall, a large ball of flame emerged from the middle, quickly gathering into a fireball with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, emitting strong energy fluctuations, and seemed to explode at any moment.
Richard was slightly startled, and quickly released a spell to control the air to gather, wrap the fireball, and prepare to move out of the laboratory.
But just after moving a few meters, the fireball exploded.
"Boom! Bang!"
It was like a muffled thunder exploded in the entire main laboratory. The air barrier restraining the fireball was directly torn apart, and the shock wave spread violently in all directions with flames.
Although the flames were extinguished within half a meter of spreading and no fire was caused, the shock wave continued to spread, sweeping through the entire main laboratory like a strong wind, more like a heavy punch hitting the ground.
The entire main laboratory was shaken, dust fell from the roof, and Pandora's bed in the corner collapsed with a crash.
A large number of petri dishes in the petri dish cabinet on the wall of the laboratory were shaking and banging. A large number of instruments on the experimental table were swaying. The lighter ones fell directly to the ground, and the lighter ones, such as papyrus, were It was blown up.
This movement took a long time to calm down.
Richard looked at the scene in the laboratory in silence for a long time, and then reflected: Maybe he should open a special magic laboratory with protective settings. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, his main laboratory may be destroyed. . Houses have already been blown up once in Cuijin City before, but we don’t want to blow them up again in White Rock City.
After reflecting like this, Richard felt something and turned to look in the corner. Pandora was sitting up angrily holding her pillow, staring at her. Apparently the bed collapsed. She was very angry and told Richard with her expression: Don't let this matter go by easily!
So…
"I'll buy you a better bed tomorrow." Richard said to Pandora.
"Huh!" Pandora hummed, as if to express disdain, and then... turned around and lay down, turned over and hugged the feather pillow, and fell asleep contentedly.
Better bed!
Is there anything a better bed can't fix
Obviously not!
Richard looked at Pandora's performance and couldn't help but shake his head. Suddenly his eyes flashed and he saw a piece of paper spinning and floating down from the sky. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed it. Scanning his eyes, he found the invitation to the auction that had been placed on the table just now and was given by the great scholar Surates.
This invitation letter had been seen on the carriage before. It contained some details of the auction. It was indeed going to be held soon, but his desire to go was not very strong.
Because he is not very enthusiastic about unlocking the secret of the White Stone Tower, and his attitude is similar to that of "God's Blood" cultivation and research on drift bottles.
That is, it can be used as an adjustment, but it will not really be 100% devoted and mess up the priorities. In the plan that has been made, his main work in the next long period will be to study magic patterns until he makes a big breakthrough.
So, should we go to the auction
Richard thought for a while and finally decided...
"Let's go." Richard said.
Because he suddenly thought that going to the auction would not only help with the secrets of the White Stone Tower, but also help with the research on magic patterns.
Because at the auction, not only the cultural relics left by the Black Spirit Empire can be auctioned, but also some magic pattern magic props can be auctioned to crack and learn.
I have to admit that things like magic patterns are still very profound. Some simple research in the early stage can be solved by relying on "Monroe Chapter", but if you want to go further and enter in-depth research, "Monroe Chapter" is a bit reluctant.
Among the large number of books borrowed from White Rock Tower Academy, many of them describe theoretical knowledge and very little about specific magic patterns.
This is like telling you that there is a kind of magic pattern that is very powerful and powerful. With it, you can ignore any enemy's attack. But I won’t tell you what this magic pattern looks like, how to draw it, and how to activate it!
If you want to continue to make progress in magic patterns, you have to find ways to obtain magic patterns and magic props to study.
The reason for this is related to the atmosphere or situation on the entire East Coast.
In the East Coast region, most wizards and wizard apprentices study and research evocation spells—because evocation spells are the easiest to get started with, have the widest scope, and are the most widely used. Basically, the first spell a wizard apprentice learns must be an evocation spell, and among these, fire spells such as fireball are the most popular.
This leads to the fact that when it comes to wizards, the first thing that comes to mind for ordinary people is fire.
In addition to the evocation spells, there are also transformation spells.
Change spells are more powerful than evocation spells, especially some change structure spells, which will change one's own body structure to gain certain abilities. This may be strong, but not everyone can accept it.
For example, a spell called Steel Bone can make the bones of the body become as hard as steel, greatly increasing the defense. But the subsequent negative effect is that the flesh and blood of the body are constantly worn away by the steel bones, which feels like countless knives being inserted into the body. In addition, the weight of the body increases significantly and the flexibility will be significantly reduced.
The more extreme ones, such as maggot barriers, rancid skin, etc., are more powerful than steel bones, but the price paid is not acceptable to ordinary people.
Therefore, many people do not regard change spells as their major spells. At most, they learn one or two of them that are more powerful and have less side effects and use them as trump cards.
After all, not many wizards take pleasure in transforming their own bodies.
Wizards are people too.
Then there are spiritual spells and prophetic spells. Only a relatively small number of people research and learn these spells.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, these two spells are relatively unpopular; on the other hand, it is difficult to get started, the threshold is relatively high, and it is difficult for people without certain strength to master them;
The last aspect is that many of these two categories of spells were lost in the process of being handed down from ancient times. As a result, many inheritances and spells are incomplete and need to be completed by oneself. It consumes too much time and energy, and the learning cost is too high. Compared with energy evocation spells, it is really not worth the gain.
As for the rest, such as space and time spells, no one on the entire east coast dares to say that they have even a small amount of success. Because these spells are not only extremely difficult to get started with and the threshold is extremely high, but in the process of being passed down from ancient times, 99% of the knowledge has been lost, and only some superficial knowledge has been handed down, which has been used by some wandering wizards to deceive.
Therefore, if a person dares to say that he has researched space and time magic, he is basically admitting that he is a liar.
That's what it's like on the East Coast.
