The afternoon sun was very dazzling, and Victor, who had changed his appearance through a ring of spell "Disguise", walked comfortably on the street and wandered aimlessly.
"For more than a year..."
Victor, who is enjoying the breath of freedom, is very emotional, "It is said that only the things that are lost can be cherished, and I have come to understand."
When he walked to a garden in the middle of the street, Victor sat lazily on the benches placed in the small square. He looked at the fountain with clear water constantly gushing with his eyes, but his thoughts flew to the sky.
Thinking back to the experience of the year, Victor was also surprised by his unremitting efforts.
"Maybe I want to relieve stress in this way..."
Breathing fresh air, Victor thought silently: "Watching scientific theories transform into arcane theories in his own hands, feeling the gradual increase in spiritual power, learning brand new knowledge... This feeling of fullness is still very good. of!"
Since the Magic Society opened the access to the large library on the 30th to 45th floors to Victor, he went to the large library to "read" various documents whenever he had time. So far, Victor has "scanned" 70% of the materials in the large library and completed "information storage".
Under the influence of talent "data analysis", Victor, who has two world knowledge systems, has made great breakthroughs and progress in arcane research and spell model analysis.
However, Victor, who spent most of his energy on improving his strength, encountered great setbacks in the promotion of the mage level: the speed of mental power enhancement, the degree of soul strength consolidation... These all made the impatient Wei Kedo felt very dissatisfied.
Under this circumstance, some interested people prepared a "great gift"-the alchemy potion "Culver" specially for Victor at the Mage Trading Center.
"Culver's Potion" is an alchemy potion that is expressly prohibited by the Magic Society. Although this kind of potion can greatly increase the level of low and middle-level mages, this "leap-forward" improvement comes at the cost of consuming the full potential of the mages. In other words, if a low-level mage who has the potential to become a high-level mage drinks this "Culver potion", although he can be promoted to a mid-level mage in a very short time, he will always run out of potential. Can't be promoted to a high-level mage.
Victor, who fell into the trap unknowingly, bought this alchemy potion on an "impulse" in a VIP room of the Mage Trading Center and drank it on the spot...
"It's really easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!"
Victor clearly remembered that after being excited, he immediately began the promotion ceremony of the mage after he teleported back to his residence. The process of his promotion to "Three Ring Mage" went smoothly, and he also gave birth to a feeling that he could directly advance to "Four Ring Mage", "Five Ring Mage", or even "Six Ring Mage" and "Seven Ring Mage"...
However, just when Victor was ready to follow this feeling and continue to raise the mage level in one go, the talent "Data Analysis-Mechanized Mind" saved him!
The bursts of coolness awakened the "impulsive" Victor, and when he returned to his normal state, he immediately discovered the problem. However, in this short period of time, Victor's mage level has risen to the peak state of an intermediate mage-"six-ring mage".
Everything seems to be irretrievable!
Fortunately, Victor obtained a huge amount of information from the large library, and he found a corresponding countermeasure at the critical moment—to use his vitality to exchange the consumption potential.
Is consumption potential? Or consume life force
Without time for careful thought, Victor chose the latter intuitively.
With the extraction of vitality, Victor's mage level dropped from the "sixth ring" and stabilized at the "fourth ring" level again.
When the promotion ceremony was over, Victor, whose vitality had been consumed a lot, looked pale, and his bodily functions were severely impaired!
Victor didn't tell anyone about everything, but deliberately maintained this "established fact."
"In this case, enemies in the dark will be less vigilant, and my troubles will be less..."
Soon after, Victor was promoted one after another to become a "four-ring mage" news spread, and he was forced to promote the "four-ring mage" in the process of falling, from time to time "cough" problems. , Is also known.
If you pay, you will gain!
Although Victor has suffered all kinds of hardships, the combat power of his four-ring mage is genuine.
In addition, Victor, who once reached the level of the "six-ring mage", has undergone a qualitative change in the strength of his mental power and control ability under this stimulation, and his attributes have also been obtained Different degrees of weakening or strengthening, namely: Strength 14 (+2), Constitution 08 (-1), Agility 12 (+1), Intelligence 22 (+6), Wisdom 20 (+5), Charisma 24 (+7) .
"Ahem..."
After coughing violently, Victor wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up again, and continued to walk.
"Huh? How come there are so few pedestrians? Where are the people? I heard that there are many mages who have received assignments from the Volstead mainland. Maybe this is the reason?"
Compared to when Victor first arrived in Skysity, the floating city at this time looked extremely depressed.
During the next walk, Victor gradually realized that every mage walking on the street would consciously keep a certain distance from others, and that every mage only wore an arcanist rank badge on his chest. , All the mage rank badges related to one's own strength have been taken off.
"This phenomenon is very bad..."
Victor thought about it for a moment, and took off the four-ring mage badge on his chest and placed it in the dimensional space bag.
"Quiler, Dean, Rosa, Felton, Grant..."
Familiar faces flashed in Victor's mind, "They must have hidden something from me!!"
By this time, Victor also realized that his "going out" might not be a good decision.
"... Let's go to the Tower of Babel!"
Looking at the Tower of Babel not far in front of the left, Victor quickly walked towards it without thinking.
When Victor crossed the street, a surprise voice came into his ears: "Mr. Victor? Long time no see... Do you remember me?"
After hearing the reputation, Victor saw an upright mage apprentice.
"Hobbs?"
The image in the memory coincides with the mage apprentice in front of him, and Victor questioned: "Why are you here? Is it the day off for the Magic Academy?"
"No! Mr. Victor, I came to see you specially..." Hobbes, with a complex complexion, stepped forward quickly.
"No! I obviously used the'Disguise'... How did he recognize me?"
Victor became alert in an instant.
