"So, boy, what exactly do you want to say?" Gregory said a little confused.
"What I want to say is that the same burning flame will have different power and performance due to various reasons. If we understand everything, we can make changes in some way, release more powerful spells, and even break through Limitation of strength. Use some zero-level spells to combine with each other to release power comparable to first-level spells or even second-level spells.
For example, before you brought me here, I had been doing some interesting research. That is to use the wind spell to change the pressure of the air, and then use the "condensing water droplet" spell to try to liquefy the oxygen in the air at a certain temperature. "
"Oxygen liquefaction?"
"Yes, oxygen is liquefied." Richard nodded, "Oxygen is what all living things, including you and me, need. Without oxygen, 99.9% of the living things in this world will die, and the remaining That part is anaerobic bacteria.
Under normal circumstances, oxygen only exists in the gaseous state, but at 10 standard atmospheres, lowering the temperature to -183°C can liquefy it.
The pressure of 10 atmospheres is okay, but the low temperature of -183°C is a bit difficult to handle. Although the principle of the water droplet condensation spell is to lower the temperature, it cannot be reduced to this level. I kept trying for a long time, trying to layer effects, and using techniques recorded in a wizard's book, before I managed to do it. "
As he spoke, Richard straightened his expression, waved his hand to cancel the "Flame Blast" spell, and began to recite a long spell. The surrounding air surged rapidly and gathered in the palm of the hand. After a while, drops of liquid appeared, condensed into a ball, and suspended one centimeter above Richard's palm.
"Huh", Richard took a breath and showed it to Gregory, "This is liquid oxygen. When it is ignited, its volume instantly expands more than 800 times, releasing powerful energy, causing an explosion."
After saying this, Richard's expression became solemn again, he recited a spell, and the next moment he straightened his eyes, he threw the liquid oxygen ball in his hand vigorously, and a blood-red flame immediately appeared on its surface.
Visible to the naked eye, the liquid oxygen mass flew far away, and the blood-red flames on the surface flickered for a moment, and then emitted a light more dazzling than the sun, followed by a "boom", like a thunderous explosion.
The soil splashed on the spot, and dust rose several meters high. The shock wave was generated and turned into a strong wind that swept across the entire mountain top. Wherever it went, the grass and trees were low. Gregory could feel the clothes on his body being blown tightly to his body. It took him a long time to return to normal.
The sound waves spread outward, causing a large number of birds in the forest to startle and fly away in panic...
When all the dust settled, looking dozens of meters away, a charred pit dozens of centimeters deep appeared.
this!
Gregory was a little surprised.
To be honest, in terms of real power, this "liquid oxygen mass" is not comparable to the flame jet in his dragon state, but the problem is that it was released by Richard.
He knew very well that Richard was just a weak wizard apprentice, and this power was obviously beyond the limit that Richard could control. In other words, a lot of what Richard said before are possible to come true.
A small wizard apprentice can cast and release first-level spells, or even second-level spells, then...
Gregory's eyes flashed, he looked at Richard and said, "No! There is a problem!"
"Um?"
"Although the thing you created is very powerful, it also took a long time. In the same time in the battle, you have been killed by the enemy more than ten times, so no matter how powerful you are, you will never have a chance to release it."
"I have also thought about this problem, and the result is...it can be solved."
"How can it be?"
"Because among the wizard's spells, there is a type of spell called... magic pattern spells."
"Can you figure it out?"
"I think I can."
"...", Gregory suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Gregory looked at Richard, spoke slowly, and asked tentatively: "How about... I fly again and take you back?"
"Uh, no need. Before you brought me here, I was ready to leave that place, but I didn't think about where to go. So, there's nothing wrong with staying here. It's just a playmate for your daughter. .”
"If you say that, I'm not at ease..."
"What are you worried about?"
"Pandora..."
"I can't beat her." Richard said, thinking for a moment, "At least according to what she has shown so far, I am not her opponent."
"But that only means temporarily." Gregory hummed, with a serious look on his face, "For the safety of my daughter Pandora, I think it is still necessary to send you away."
"Isn't that an exaggeration? Isn't it you, Gregory?"
"..." Gregory was silent again, and after a while he continued to hum, "No matter what, I will send you away sooner or later, not now, but someday in the future..."
After speaking, Gregory turned around and walked into the dragon's cave.
Richard looked at the other person's back and shrugged.
…
In the evening, in a room on the first floor of the castle.
Richard took out a porcelain bottle from the suitcase, poured grease into a bronze oil lamp, then put in a treated rush and lit it with magic.
With a "whoosh", a small ball of flame burned up, illuminating the room and giving some light to the dark castle.
Richard opened "The Chapter of Monroe" and continued to study the content above.
After a while, he took out a piece of white jade that was seven to eight centimeters long and three centimeters wide from the suitcase. It was so thin that it looked like a glass slide used in a microscope.
In the Middle Ages, there were two completely different cultures in the West and the East - gem culture and jade culture.
Due to the lack of origin, the extremely precious jade from the East is very rare in the West. At the same time, it is not favored, and its value is about the same as that of stone. However, according to the records in "The Chapter of Monroe", jade, gems, and crystals can all be used as materials for spell props.
Turning his hand, a small carving knife appeared in the palm of his hand. Richard squinted and pointed at the white jade for a moment. The sharp blade scratched the surface, jade shavings flew, and strange carvings quickly appeared on it.
Richard was carving extremely seriously, occasionally stopping to think and consider for a moment to determine the depth and angle of the next carving.
Finally, when the carving was completed, the entire white jade piece changed drastically. Anyway, both sides were covered with weird lines. The pattern is not a pattern, there is no symmetry or beauty at all, it is more complicated and precise.
Richard put down the carving knife and often exhaled. Even for him, it took a lot of energy to complete such a white jade piece. And this is just the simplest and most basic application of magic patterns.
Reaching out to hold the white jade piece, Richard narrowed his eyes slightly and controlled the magic power in his body to flow out from the magic source, pass through the blood vessels and reach the end of his fingers, and then flow out into the white jade piece. In an instant, the mana was absorbed by the white jade piece, and some mysterious changes took place inside the white jade piece.
"Buzz buzz!"
The white jade piece vibrated, and the next moment it cracked with a "click", and a group of faint blue flames appeared.
