In a small, inconspicuous courtyard.
Søren was practicing with his curved sword. It had been two days since he returned to Whiterun, and it was a peaceful time. During the day, he would read books and practice the White Raven Sword Style, and at night, he would study spell models. Currently, he had mastered ten level 0 spells. There were hundreds of low-level cantrips, and he could only pick the ones that were useful to him. His research on the level 1 spell, Arcane Missile, had also reached 80%. If all went well, he would be able to master his first official spell by tonight. As his research progressed faster and faster, his understanding of spell models also gradually increased.
Many spell models were similar. High-level spells often contained lower-level spell models.
For example, the Level 2 spell, Acid Arrow, had a complicated spell model with hundreds of thousands of spell nodes. However, many of its internal structures overlapped with the Level 0 spell, Acid Splash. The same was true for Søren's Arcane Missile. In the future, if he were to learn the level 4 spell, Secondary Missile Storm, he would be able to transfer the spell model of Arcane Missile into it and greatly reduce the learning time.
Arcane Missile could fire up to five energy missiles at once, and Secondary Missile Storm could fire up to fifteen to twenty-five energy missiles at once.
The more he studied, the easier it became to understand the structure of spell models.
However, learning the White Raven Sword Style was not fast enough. It would take a long time for him to master a mid-level combat skill like this. Normally, it would take at least three to five years for one to master the White Raven Sword Style. Thus, even though Soran was talented, he had only learned a few techniques in the past few days. He was far from being proficient in it. There were not many shortcuts in combat skill training. Back then, it took him a long time to learn [Sword Form: Cross Slash].
At noon, he would go to the caravan's base to accompany Vivian.
The autumn afternoon sun was very warm. The two of them would lean against each other and bask in the sun. The little girl would often fall asleep on top of him.
She was still growing, and because of the heavy workload, she was quite sleepy.
If there was something new, the little girl would lie on his lap and talk to him about what she had learned and what had happened today. In the end, she would unknowingly fall asleep. Learning spells was actually a very boring thing. Gloria obviously wanted to cultivate the little girl into a versatile spellcaster. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taught her so much knowledge outside of spells. As for Vivian's innate talent, Søren finally understood a little. She was even better than him. She only needed to read and memorize something once to understand most of it.
He could be said to be a true genius.
If it wasn't for the fact that Søren didn't have any special bloodline talent, he would have suspected that Vivian was the Child of God.
Or rather, they were the descendants of the Son of God.
However, this thought was quickly rejected by him. Most of the Children of God had divine power, and Vivian did not have even a trace of divine power. Therefore, she should be a one-in-a-million spellcasting genius. Moreover, the two of them had the same mother but different fathers. He had a vague impression of Vivian's father in his memory, and it seemed that he was just a slightly more powerful adventurer. If there was any bloodline, it should be the biological father of Sauron's body. After all, in his memory, the father was a godly thief.
Spellcasters with wizard towers were at least high-grade. Those who dared to go in and steal things were basically thieves with a profession level of 15 or above!
This was because who knew how many traps and golems there were in there.
Any wizard tower in operation had a challenge level of 15 or above. The difficulty was similar to killing an adult red dragon.
The construction cost of a wizard tower was basically 1 million Kindler.
If one had a certain amount of money, the tower could transform and even fly. In its final form, a wizard tower could evolve into an extradimensional fortress or a floating fortress. It was one of the few things that could leave a shadow in the hearts of legendary thieves. It was also one of the few special constructions in the world that could fight head-on with a Divine Kingdom. There were ancient records of a Great Arcanist teleporting a floating fortress to a Divine Kingdom, and then forcibly knocking down a Divine Kingdom.
… … …
After dilly-dallying for so long, Whiterun finally started to make a move.
Søren despised the efficiency of this world's ruling class. During the Battle of the Southern Islands, he was killed by the noble parliament. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped caring about the kingdom's war and turned his focus to adventuring with small groups. Basically, Søren didn't have much of a sense of belonging to any country in this world. During his time as a vagabond, he had taken jobs in more than half of the countries.
Whoever paid him the most money, he would kill their enemy!
The Whiterun guards were finally ready to set off. The assembled army included a small group of knights and a large number of adventurers.
After being blocked for almost a week, the City Hall finally came up with a feasible plan. They asked the wizards stationed in the city to gather an army of two thousand people and began to clear out the monsters on the main road. In this world, large scale battles involving more than a hundred thousand people rarely happened. Even kingdoms only had a few tens of thousands of people at war. It wasn't because the population was small, but because the soldiers trained by ordinary people were not very useful.
This was an elite army, and the real warriors were all soldiers who were out of work.
The population of Whiterun was more than five hundred thousand, but only about five thousand people were stationed in the city. These people were all regular soldiers who spent more than half of their time training every year. Most of the soldiers in the army were Advanced Warriors, but most of them were below level 5. Only those who had been on the battlefield could break through to level 5 and above.
Søren also prepared to move with them.
Slaughter EXP was never enough. With such an opportunity to move with the team, he naturally wanted to find a way to get more EXP.
Midnight.
Søren finally learned his first level 1 spell and gained an extra 100 Profession EXP. Wizards could gain Profession EXP by learning official spells, but the amount was not much. Level 1 spells only gave 100 EXP, Level 2 spells gave 200 EXP, Level 3 spells gave 400 EXP, and Level 4 spells gave 800 EXP. Starting from level 5 spells, the amount of Profession EXP gained was considerable. A level 5 spell gave 1600 EXP.
Level 6 spells gave 3200 EXP, Level 7 spells gave 6400 EXP, and Level 8 spells gave 12,800 EXP.
He did not know how many level 9 spells he could get, but it should be quite a lot.
From this point of view, it seemed like it would not be difficult for wizards to level up, but the problem was that wizards were very slow at learning spells. High-level spells could easily take one or two months to learn, which meant that the amount of EXP they could get was not as much as other wizards. Moreover, these spells were not cheap. The higher the level of the spell, the harder it was to obtain them.
"Finally, it's done."
After successfully constructing the spell model of Arcane Missile, Soran immediately began to memorize the spell. He was now a Level 4 Wizard with three Level 1 spell slots. At the same time, he also had a low-grade Wizard Ring that could give him an additional Level 1 spell slot. This meant that he could now memorize four level 1 spells, although the only spell he could remember was Arcane Missile.
It did not take long for him to memorize the spell.
It only took Soran about two hours to memorize the spell and construct the spell model of Arcane Missile from the four spell slots formed after contacting the Magic Net.
Item Type: Low-level Wizard Ring.
Item Grade: [Rare (Grade 1)]
Item Description: A wizard ring enchanted with special materials. It can help the caster store additional spell slots.
Requirements: None.
Effect: Increases one level 1 spell slot.
The most expensive Rare-grade rings were the wizard rings that increased spell slots. This was because they could flexibly store different types of spells. The second most expensive was the single-type enchanted ring, which could be charged with a corresponding spell. For example, Søren's Withered Wood Staff + 1 had a level 1 divine spell 'Entanglement' that could be charged up three times. After it was used up, it would need a corresponding profession to repair it. High-level items could be charged by themselves and could only be used a certain number of times per day. However, the price and materials needed to make them were very expensive.
Item Type: Withered Wood Staff + 1
Item Grade: [Rare (Grade 1)]
Item Description: A special wooden staff enchanted with divine spells. It can cast additional Druil spells. The green leaf on it is full of vitality.
Requirements: None.
Effect: Can cast level 1 divine spell 'Entanglement' (23 times).
The memorization was complete.
Søren stood up impatiently and walked out of the room. He needed to test the power of the Arcane Missile. He first took out a wooden board about three centimeters thick, then a piece of iron about 0.5 centimeters thick. It was his habit to test his strength before a battle.
"OZR …"
The casting time of the Arcane Missile was very short, only one second. The incantation was three interlaced syllables.
As Søren pointed forward, two Arcane Missiles the size of ping pong balls appeared and landed on the wooden board in front of him. The speed of the spells was very fast. Although it was possible to successfully dodge the spells, one needed to predict the position of the enemy before they could shoot. It was like dodging a bullet. One needed to predict the direction of the enemy's shooting. The speed of the Arcane Missile was similar to that of a normal bullet. The possibility of dodging the spell after it was cast was very low. If one wanted to dodge it, one had to prepare before the enemy started casting the spell.
This was because the Arcane Missile would only hit the first target it touched. Many spells were like this.
Even the famous "Disintegrate" and "Finger of Death" would only be used on the first target it touched. Søren had a hamster with him for a while. He usually kept it as a pet. When he saw the red light of "Finger of Death", he would directly throw it out. If he was lucky, he could block the spell. If he was unlucky, he could only rely on his Constitution to resist the Instant Death Test.
Since he didn't master [Spell Control], the Arcane Missile flew in a straight line. The three centimeters thick wooden board was directly hit by the missile. The two missiles hit the same spot. However, when Søren released the second spell, the Arcane Missile only made a dent in the iron board. With the strength of his spell, he couldn't penetrate the 0.5 centimeter thick iron board.
"It's good against enemies who aren't wearing armor." Søren picked up the iron board and carefully observed it. He thought to himself, "It's a lot weaker against enemies who are wearing armor. Fortunately, the casting time is very short. If I use it well, it can be very effective."
If he learned "Missile Storm" in the future, he could even turn a plate shield into a sieve with one spell.
