"In the end, the essence of magic is the same. Elemental conversion is nothing special." Jason showed Salin all his equipment and began to examine the spells he had learned over the years.
As a level-4 mage, the number of spells Salin had learned was not much. Usually, a mage would learn at least 30 spells at every level, and at least 5 for each element. This was the only way to have a balanced understanding of magic.
Many great mages knew hundreds of spells, but Salin did not have this ability. He did not have a choice in the beginning because of Magic String. Even after learning the skill of elemental conversion, the number of spells he had was still far less than mages of the same level.
Salin felt slightly dejected as he looked at Jason's and his fellow apprentices' magic foundations. All the magicians on Serrig Island had a stronger foundation than him. On this island, his advantage in understanding magic had almost completely disappeared.
"It's not a bad thing for you to understand the knowledge of elemental conversion in advance, but you will have to put in more effort than others. Salin, do you understand? " Jason saw Salin cast level-2 Ice Bullet and successfully converted it into Fireball and Explosive Magic Bullet. He knew Salin's strengths and weaknesses.
"I understand, teacher. Then which magic do you think I should choose as my main research target?"
"I can't help you with that. All mages have to choose their own path. My teacher did not tell me how to choose. "Jason was a little sad when he talked about his teacher. He had gone out to travel, and when he returned, his teacher had already passed away.
"Okay, I understand." Salin silently demonstrated the spells he was familiar with. Jason watched and frowned. Other than low-level spells, Salin's other spells were all focused on combat. This was not a good thing. A mage who only knew how to fight would have to put in more effort than other mages to take the last step.
The two of them demonstrated the spells, while Jason explained and analyzed them to Salin. When the Magic String was exhausted, Jason explained the current situation on Serrig Island to Salin.
After a day and a night, Salin finally felt a little tired.
After saying goodbye to his teacher, he walked up the magic seal with a heavy heart. He brought Nelis to the fifth floor and thought about how to talk to Rex.
There were currently thirty-three Magic Shooters on Serrig Island, and they were still lacking three more Magic Shooters to completely control the Volcano Magical Array and capture the Fire Elemental Sprite. Of course, if he could use a divine artifact, he could immediately reduce the number of High Mages to single digits. However, there were no Divine Weapons on Serrig Island, and Salin did not dare to take out the Seal of God's Prestige.
"Salin!" Rex's summoning voice rang in his ears. There were six rooms in the five-story magic tower. Salin followed the voice to Rex's room, and the door opened automatically.
There was a small table in the room. There was a set of alchemy equipment on the table. Rex was sitting in front of the table, heating up a piece of metal and continuously adding magic potions.
"Neris, go clean up my room." Salin sent Neris away and sat down opposite Rex. Rex's hands were steady, and drops of liquid medicine were poured into a silver funnel. They seeped down through a hollow metal tube that was thinner than a strand of hair, and dripped evenly on the heated metal.
"Rex, this is going to be difficult." Seeing that Rex didn't ask, Salin could only take the initiative to talk about the fire elemental sprite.
"Salin, you're saying that there are still seven months left?"
"Yes, that's what Teacher said. In seven months, the Magical Array on Serrig Island must be opened to the public, and then others can come and capture the fire elemental sprite."
"What if we seal Serrig Island?"
"That will cause a war. This island wasn't built by one person."
Rex was also depressed. It was impossible to produce another three High Mages in seven months.
"Rex, do you have any magic equipment that can resist the fire elemental sprite?" Salin asked tentatively.
"I can't use the God Sieve Ring. It will be destroyed if I use it again." Rex shook his head. The God Sieve Ring was more valuable than the fire elemental sprite. She wasn't that impulsive now, so of course she wouldn't use such a precious item in exchange for the fire elemental sprite. She had barely used the God Sieve Ring once during the dragon-slaying battle, so she wouldn't be able to use that insane defensive ability for at least another eight months.
"Rex, what about Tiago's fur? If it's made into a Magician's Armor … "
"The temperature of the lava is much higher than you think. Tiago has the Ice Attribute, and can resist fire elemental attacks. However, even a living Tiago Dragon wouldn't dare to go deep into the volcano."
"Then what do we do? Do we just wait here? "
"If only there was a Great Demon, sigh …" Rex sighed.
Salin's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "If there was a Great Demon, it would eat both of us first, and then eat the fire elemental sprite."
"That's true." Rex stretched his body, rubbed his shoulders, and said to Salin, "The God Sieve Ring has a special use, so it really can't be used here. I can give you Tiago's fur. If there's a powerful Alchemist on Serrig Island, it might be of some use. Give me your Dragon Crystal shard too, and I'll go talk to your teacher. "
Salin knew that Rex was worried that he wouldn't owe anyone a favor if he took out the Dragon Crystal. Without hesitation, he took out the shard from the Blessing Ring and gave it to Rex.
All the Magicians on Serrig Island were under the tutelage of a Level-10 Magician. Excluding those who had left, there were hundreds of them in the past thousand years. The three Level-9 Magic Shooters from back then had passed away one by one, and the remaining Magic Shooters were only Level-8 at most.
33 Magic Shooters would be an earth-shattering force in other places, but in Alchemy City, it was just one of the four forces, and it was far from the other three forces.
Jason's teacher was a Level-9 Magic Shooter, but he didn't succeed in reaching Level-10 and died. Now, Serrig Island was the weakest of the four forces in Alchemy City. If Jason's teacher had become a Level-10 Magician, the result would be completely different.
No one knew how long a Level-10 Magician could live. Under normal circumstances, a Level-10 Magician wouldn't stay in this world for more than a hundred years, and then they would go to another plane to find a way to continue advancing.
Serrig Island's position was very awkward now. If they couldn't get the fire elemental sprite to make a Semi-Divine Weapon, then everything on the island would be divided among the other three forces.
This was very realistic. Salin couldn't possibly persuade his teacher to give up everything here and go to the Bitter Water Prefecture with Rex. The entire Serrig Island was also a huge fortune. Many of the Magic Towers and Magic Matrices on the island were left behind by powerful Magicians in the past, and they couldn't be taken away. Moreover, asking these Magicians to give up directly was an insult to the dignity of these Magicians.
Rex walked out of the room anxiously, and came to the center of the Teleportation Magic Matrix. She said softly, "Master Jason, I …"
"Come up." Jason activated the Magic Matrix, and Rex was involuntarily teleported to the seventh floor of the Magic Tower. In this Magic Tower, Jason's power was much stronger than Rex's. Unless she used the God Sieve Ring, she wouldn't be able to defend against Jason's attack.
Rex came to the seventh floor of the Magic Tower. She didn't walk out of the Magic Matrix immediately, but carefully observed the layout of the seventh floor first.
The highest floor of the Magic Tower was where the owner lived. The entire floor was open, and there were many books, a small alchemy table, and a few pots of flowers. She didn't recognize any of these flowers, and they were completely unfamiliar to her. On the flowers, there were a few glittering insects sucking the pollen.
Very powerful alchemy skills!
Those insects were all tiny puppets, and couldn't be distinguished with the naked eye. It seemed like Jason was good at pharmaceutics, alchemy, earth and water magic. Hmm … and swordsmanship?
Rex saw a longsword hanging on the wall facing the sun. This kind of sword wasn't a weapon used on the battlefield. It was a little light, but it was very lethal. In the hands of a swordsman, such a weapon could also pierce through heavy armor.
Jason saw Rex's gaze stop on that longsword. He smiled, and said to Rex, "You are Rex, right? Why? You know swords?"
"I have four Sword Saints under me, and one level-8 Thief," Rex answered simply.
"That sword is my wife's." Jason smiled, and told Rex something that even Salin didn't know.
"Master, you have a family?" Rex was also very surprised. She had done her research. Jason was only a level-5 Magician when he was in Ceylon City, and he became a Magic Shooter in just over two years. His previous accumulation was frighteningly deep. If he had a family, how would he have the energy to study magic wholeheartedly?
"That's in the past. Rex, why are you looking for me?"
Rex walked out of the Teleportation Portal, and realized that he didn't know what to say. The first time he saw Salin's teacher, Rex knew that this Magic Shooter wasn't someone he could control. Jason's path of cultivation was a little like that longsword. Even if it wasn't unsheathed, you could feel its unparalleled sharpness and indomitable aura.
Rex had rarely seen such determination in him. Was his teacher one of them? Joey too. It was hard to say for the others.
People like Jason were extremely egoistic. Once he set his mind on something, he wouldn't change it.
"I want to ask if there's anything I can help with."
"Sit." Jason pointed at the chair. He was only a level-7 Magic Shooter, but he gave Rex the feeling that he was seeing his father being reborn. Everything about Jason was in line with the laws of this plane.
"Salin asked me to bring the dragon crystal. Tiago's dragon crystal has the power of ice and is very resistant to fire elements. I also have Tiago's fur. "
"I know. Salin said it all. But there aren't that many level-6 Magicians on the island. We need 18 level-6 Magicians wearing special magic robes to be able to stand on the Teleportation Portal and attack. These 18 level-6 Magicians will also be in danger. Although the fire elemental spirit doesn't have intelligence, it can still find the weakest link in the Teleportation Portal. "
