Rorschach had already noticed that something was wrong with him when he was on the beach.
The effect of the magic backlash was much lighter than expected. After sleeping for so long, he had actually recovered some of his magic power. The problem was that he kept failing to cast spells even though he had magic power.
Previously, when he tried to use healing magic on himself, he failed.
Later, when he tried to camouflage his magic armor and summon a bush, he also failed. At that time, he thought that it was because he didn't have enough magic power, but now it really didn't make sense.
Camouflage was a level 1 Ranger divine spell. Forest Rangers didn't have much magic power to begin with, and this beginner-level divine spell consumed very little magic power.
This was also the ranger divine spell that Rorschach used to be the best at. Not only did he reach the level of a master of stealth called "Vanish in Daylight", but he had also turned it into an instinctive and normal state. It could be regarded as a passive ability that didn't consume any magic power.
Moreover, this divine spell had a large environmental bonus in the forest. Many people would subconsciously ignore the camouflaged person even if they saw him. This was beyond the supernatural effect of the divine spell.
But now, this master of stealth was found by a murloc child with a dripping nose and blowing bubbles. The child even put the snot into his mouth … Ugh, how disgusting.
Rorschach felt a little uncomfortable. As a wood spirit with a high affinity with nature, he remembered that he had the passive ability of Forest Shelter. Why did it all fail?
But now, he obviously didn't have time to think about this.
"& * … 1."
A series of murloc language was spoken. Rorschach didn't understand, but the troublesome thing was that no matter what race they were, the naughty children all came in groups. The moment Rorschach was dragged, more and more naughty children saw him.
Even the Sea Serpent who was lazily sunbathing in the square looked over in surprise. It was very rare to see humans here.
At this moment, Rorschach really didn't know what to do.
"Hi."
Helplessly, he could only greet them.
Times were different now. In the chaotic medieval fantasy era, those who charged into the Seafolk's homeland and conquered it, returning with treasures and mermaids were heroes. But in the current perspective, they were burglars, murderers, kidnappers, and arrogant criminals who didn't even bother to hide their stolen goods.
Although Roxia's ship had been attacked by Seafolk bandits, if they attacked Seafolk whenever they saw one, it would be the same as a foreign race being robbed by humans. They would be resentful and would kill anyone they saw in a human town.
.....................................
...........................
. Although in theory, every race had its good and bad, Rorschach wasn't confident that this village had nothing to do with the bandits since they were so close to the village... If they attracted pursuers because of this, he wouldn't be in his best condition ….
Rorschach shook his head silently. It was normal for people to kill each other on the battlefield, but massacring a village because of a possibility was obviously beyond his moral limits.
"Since I've been discovered, there's no point in hiding anymore. I might as well communicate with them. At least I'll know where I came from."
His communication with the Sea Serpent was a failure, but there were still adults here. They heard that Rorschach was a victim of the sinking of the Sea Serpent's ship. They were quite enthusiastic, which made Rorschach feel a little relieved.
"Fish Island? What a straightforward name. "
Sea Serpent Aunt Nemo (whom Rorschach thought was very strange) asked about his well-being. She even had the Sea Serpent bring over dried fish, meat, wild fruits, and water. At the same time, she also helped Rorschach understand the situation.
This wasn't an uninhabited island. For the Sea Serpent living in the coastal waters, any land that could be used on shore was precious. How could they leave it empty?
In particular, many of the Sea Serpent's newborns and young eggs needed to be born on shore. For example, the Eight-legged Turtle Tribe had to lay their eggs on shore and bury them in the sand like sea turtles.
The Sea Serpent Tribe that Aunt Nemo belonged to had many similar habits to the Sea Serpent Tribe. They could be both on land and sea. Some tribes would lay their eggs in clean coastal waters, while others would go ashore and give birth on land.
"Oh, Aunt Nemo's tribe is land-based?"
"That's not the case. After staying in the sea for so many years, we're already used to being land-based. It's just that the coastal waters now … Anyway, now other tribes also lay their eggs and give birth nearby. Every year during the reproductive season, the island is full of small fish. This island is called Fish Island."
Sea Serpent Nemo looked like a land-based Serpent. Saul had seen Serpents before, so Rorschach was no longer surprised. However, her expression was a little strange now. She probably thought that the person in front of her was a human, and that the pollution was caused by humans. She didn't know what to say.
It was like a group of bandits were the Sea Serpent Tribe. In the future, when the passengers on the ship saw the Sea Serpent Tribe, they would think that they were all bandits. This Sea Serpent Aunt Nemo, who usually didn't see humans, also had some opinions about humans.
If you wanted to reason with Aunt Nemo and let her distinguish between different countries and tribes of humans, you could tell her that the pollution wasn't caused by humans, but was just a side effect of development. Humans were also managing the pollution, and it would be fine after a few thousand years. Everyone should bear with it for a while and contribute to the development of the country … From the very beginning, it wouldn't be her problem, but yours.
Nemo also didn't like humans. Recently, there were more and more deformed children in the tribe. If it wasn't for the fact that the young man in front of him obviously had a child and was a pitiful cripple, he might have been a deformed child as well … How pitiful.
If it were an ordinary adult, not to mention being so enthusiastic, it would be good enough to serve him with sticks. The alarm bells in the village would have been rung long ago.
Having a place to rest was also a good thing for Rorschach.
At the very least, he could carefully study where the problem came from.
When he carefully checked and let the magic power flow through his body, Rorschach was shocked.
"That's too ridiculous … I've actually broken through to the next level."
Not only did his magic power not fade, there were also no side effects. When he calmed down and checked, it was obvious that he had become much stronger.
This level of magic power had already surpassed that of ordinary level 5 magic power that Rorschach had seen before. It could only be described as him suddenly advancing.
"Ariel …"
Rorschach suddenly thought of the unlucky girl who was still sleeping. Previously, he had seen that her dragonized appearance seemed to have changed a lot. Now that he thought about it, it really wasn't an illusion.
The path of advancement for a dragon bloodline mage was also the path of unearthing one's own dragon bloodline. The increase in dragonized appearance was doubtlessly proof that she had improved. In that case, being unable to return to her original size was also a side effect of her advancement.
Rorschach was rather confused. Could this be some new method of forcefully advancing in power? Could it be that one could forcefully advance in power by casting a forbidden spell without dying?
Actually, this was indeed the case. Mages couldn't advance in power by obtaining stronger magic power or mastering more powerful spells. If one could successfully forcefully cast a spell that far surpassed one's own power level, that would indeed be a way to forcefully advance in power level … However, such an opportunistic method was basically useless. Since it was classified as a high-level spell, it would naturally be beyond one's power level. Forcefully advancing in power level would definitely cause one to lose control. That was why high-level spells weren't even available to low-level acolytes, for fear that the acolytes would forcefully transform into suicide bombers.
There was also a famous spell known as "Richard's Suicide Explosion Spell" that directly caused one's magic power to go out of control and become a super suicide bomber.
Rorschach was rather confused. Logically speaking, advancing in power level was a good thing. Since there were no side effects, then there should be no problem with the spell's effects. However, he immediately realized where the problem lay.
