Artificer Adventure Guide

"Hiccup~, I'm finally full. I didn't expect to be so happy after eating!"

In Karl and Hope's temporary camp, the two people who had just finished eating steak were lying on their backs on the rock wall, digesting the food they had just eaten.

The previous series of associations caused by the meat quality of the monitor lizard have been forgotten by them now. Now, they are just enjoying the satisfaction brought by a full stomach.

The sulfur-smelling breeze blew past his face, but Karl no longer reacted as violently as when he first came here.

The quiet environment relaxed the once tense nerves of the two people. The operation of the digestive system concentrated the blood in the intestines and stomach, while the brain became drowsy.

Looking at the dark "sky", Karl's eyes kept opening and closing, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.

But at this moment, Hope on the side suddenly slapped him.

"Wake up! Don't sleep yet! We have to find a secluded place to serve as our shelter."

His sleep was suddenly interrupted, and Karl almost jumped up from the ground.

His brain reacted for a while before he woke up from that confused state.

"What do you recommend?"

Blinking, Carl decided to listen to Hope's experienced advice on accommodation.

According to what the other party said before, she spent most of her time in Zhuomu wandering in the wilderness outside. She was exposed to various situations such as caves and tree canopies.

"I saw that the giant lizard's lair was very hidden. Let's go over there and have a look later. If it doesn't work, let's..."

Before Hope could finish speaking, Carl had already gotten up from the ground.

"Wait a minute, the skins of those two monitor lizards can still be used to make some things. Although we can't take away their meat, we can't waste this little skin."

After saying that, Karl pulled Hope and ran back down again.

The carcasses of the two monitor lizards were still placed as before. Carl and Hope worked together to quickly peel off the monitor lizard skin and some of the meat steaks and pack them away.

Following the route they had just taken to track the monitor lizard, the two returned to the cave of the monitor lizard.

"The cave looks pretty deep."

Keeping his body short, Karl took the lead in getting into the monitor lizard's cave.

The inside of the cave can be said to be a unique place, which reminded Karl of the scene when he and his friends from his hometown built a secret base when he was a child in this life.

If they could find a similar one at that time, they would definitely play in it every day.

"Okay, then we'll settle here temporarily, but it seems like it's easy for people to block the exits. We have to find a way to solve this problem."

For safety reasons, Hope felt that the two should dig another hidden exit.

But this is obviously not a job that two people can do right away.

"Okay, don't think about that now. Find a stone to block the exit. We need to take a rest."

Carl's mental energy was almost exhausted after running around for a long time, especially the changes caused by the mind flayer larvae before. Carl needed a deep sleep to relieve his mental and spiritual fatigue.

Seeing Karl's sleepy state, Hope nodded and found a few rocks outside to block the entrance. She used her flexible body to get in through a small hole.

Karl took off his armor, and the rivet that he used magic to turn into a glowing state was still shining brightly.

Putting the armor facing upwards, Karl piled a pillow for himself with sand and lay directly on it.

In less than two seconds, even breathing sounded, and he completely fell into a dream.

"How happy are those who are born and raised in a peaceful country."

After saying this with emotion, Hope leaned against the wall next to him and also rested.

It's just that compared to Karl, her sleep is very light, and she will wake up from her sleep as long as there is the slightest movement.

…

"Hmm~, it seems that as long as I fall asleep or meditate, I will come to this dream space. I wonder if this thing is like in "Inception", and it has different levels."

A blank dream world, where Karl's consciousness reawakens.

Looking at this boundless world, Karl turned his mind and projected his previous attribute panel.

At the same moment, Karl's spirituality was linked to his spiritual energy again, and an attribute panel that was the same as before appeared in front of him.

"There's no change at all. It seems like this thing can't display too detailed information."

Frowning slightly, Karl's eyes moved across the attribute panel.

When he saw his current intelligence of 14 points, he paused for a moment.

Karl's original intelligence attribute was actually only about 12 points, but probably due to the increase brought by psionic energy and the two psionic auxiliary specialties, his intelligence attribute is now 14.

But this improvement does not mean that his IQ has improved, but that his memory and soul toughness have improved.

Just like the charm attribute does not only refer to appearance, but also combines many factors such as personal temperament and personality charm.

Intellectual attributes are also a comprehensive reflection.

And when his eyes stopped on the spell column at the end of the attribute panel, he shook his head slightly, feeling even more that his plug-in was a bit useless.

The caster himself can infer his own attributes and expertise through his own spiritual feedback.

Although it is not as accurate as the property panel, it is enough to have a rough idea of ​​this thing.

The spells he had prepared did not need such a thing to check and confirm.

If the ability of the dream space is only this way, then its role is really limited.

And this attribute panel seems to be only visible in the dream space, which is very inconvenient!

"Forget it, let's think about the spells to be prepared tomorrow. This dungeon should not be particularly dangerous according to the current situation. In this way, I can remove the Feather Fall Spell first and replace it with a lethal spell to enhance combat power."

The spellcaster's spellcasting ability relies on a strange structure called the magic network. A professional who wants to cast a spell not only needs to know the principle of a spell, but also needs to consume "spell slots".

In layman's terms, casting a spell is like running software on a computer.

The spellcaster is a computer, the spell is software, the spell slot is the running memory, and the spell list is a list of software types that can be installed.

Unlike a computer, the occupied running memory of a computer will be directly restored after the software stops running, while the spellcaster's spell slot can only be restored by sleep or meditation.

What spells a spellcaster can use is determined by the spells he has prepared in advance.

Just like Pokémon can only use four skills, spellcasters can only prepare a limited number of spells.

Fortunately, as the level of the spellcaster increases, the number of spell slots, ring levels, and the number of spells that can be prepared will gradually increase.

"Well, you can consider replacing Feather Fall with Tasha Acid Brew. The consumables of this spell only require a small piece of deteriorated organic matter, and the lethality is also good."

Just as Carl recalled the spell runes of Tasha Acid Brew, large patches of magic runes suddenly appeared in the sky of the dream world.

And in the spell column at the end of the attribute panel, a spell called "Tasha Acid Brew" was added behind the label of the 1st-level spell.

The speed of the mechanic to adjust his own spells is the fastest among many spellcaster professions. It only takes about 2 minutes to replace a 1st-level spell.

But the speed of adjusting spells in the dream world is faster than that of ordinary mechanics.

More importantly, the spells that Carl had prepared before were not replaced, and they were still lying in Carl's spell bar.
