Casting spells

Chapter 292 Amplifier

"Magic energy?" Anslem Ruinvivor took over the stone exuding a faint blush, and curiosity and excitement quickly flowed from his eyes.

You must know that as a great mage, there are few things in this world that can arouse his desire for research, but this little stone has done it.

The reason is very simple. The energy contained in the stone is completely different from the currently known arcane, nature, holy light, shadow, evil energy, and death. It is a mixture that is close to elemental energy but not completely elemental energy. body.

The most important thing is that this thing is a solid crystal with highly condensed energy. Although he has only seen the well water of the Sunwell, but not the well water of the Well of Eternity, judging from the shape, I am afraid that the Well of Eternity with the same volume Well water does not have as much magical energy as this small piece of meteorite.

Of course, how much is one thing, and the high level of purity and utilization is another.

Seeing that the meteorite fragments successfully aroused the archmage's desire for research, Zhang Cheng immediately hit the iron rails while it was hot: "Your Excellency, I have done some tests and found that the energy contained in it is very active, especially the construction of elemental magic often only requires half of the arcane energy. But if it is used to construct other types of spells, it will be much more difficult, and even serious mistakes will occur."

"Sounds very interesting. If I'm not mistaken, you've already started to extract this energy and store it in your body, right?" Anslem Ruinvival said, looking away from the stone, He looked up and down at the young man standing in front of him.

Undoubtedly, how could he, who is extremely sensitive to magic, fail to notice that the extremely uncoordinated flow of magic power on Zhang Cheng's body seems to divide his body in two from the middle, the left half stores arcane energy, and the right half What is stored is the energy inside the meteorite.

"Yes, master. This kind of energy can make elemental magic cast faster, save effort, and be more powerful. I think it can greatly improve one's combat effectiveness." Zhang Cheng didn't try to hide anything, and admitted it openly .

After all, the production of well water in the basement at home is limited. With the increase of the level of mages and the increase of research topics, the consumption will also increase. Moreover, it is not very convenient to carry and cannot meet his needs at all, so a substitute is urgently needed.

The archmage nodded lightly: "No need to explain, I understand. But I think the way you use this energy is still a little too rough."

"Rough?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

"Yes! I really don't know how to describe you. Too smart? If you are not smart enough, you must not find the trick to use another kind of energy to release magic. Too stupid? If you are not stupid, how can you ignore that any spell is to rely on A small amount of its own magic power, and then resonate with the ubiquitous magic energy in the air to cause a chain reaction?" The archmage gave a hint with a series of questions and answers.

"Resonance?! Damn it! I actually forgot this!" Zhang Cheng seemed to suddenly understand something, and patted his forehead in frustration.

Obviously, when he was in A Song of Ice and Fire, his thinking entered a misunderstanding, that is, he was too eager to break through the restrictions, and he forgot that his own mana is very important, but it is not the whole factor that determines whether a mage is strong or not.

If we change our thinking, with the help of the particularity of the energy of the red meteorite, using less energy to trigger a stronger energy resonance, wouldn't it be possible to make ourselves stronger?

"It seems that you have figured it out. That's right, the biggest use of this small stone is not to provide you with magic power supplements, but as a resonance amplifier. Every elemental magic you cast can be multiplied through it I have to say, this alone is enough to drive any spellcaster crazy, even me, an old guy, is a little bit moved. Now I am curious, where did you get it from?" Ansley Mu Luinvivor said meaningfully.

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied in an ambiguous tone: "Sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know exactly where I went. I found this red stone there. If you like, here is I'll give it to you as a thank you."

"Give it to me? Hehe, it seems that you still have a second, even a third, and a fourth dollar. Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But I didn't take others for no reason. Cheap habits, this is my notes before I became an archmage, including some special spellcasting skills, as well as experience in alchemy and enchanting, I will give it to you as a return gift." After finishing speaking, the archmage took out the book from the bookshelf behind him. A book with some yellowed pages was thrown over.

Just when Zhang Cheng was about to reach out to pick it up, the notebook, which was only the size of a human face, suddenly began to swell, and then it became bigger and bigger...

In the end, it abruptly changed from a harmless note to a murder weapon capable of smashing people to death...

At this time, how could he dare to pick it up, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the only way the behemoth must pass, and let it hit the ground heavily, making a loud bang.

"Your Excellency, are you trying to kill me?" Zhang Cheng stared at the note only half a meter away from him with lingering fear, the corners of his mouth twitching non-stop.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because it's been too long, I forgot that a shrinking spell was cast on this notebook." Anslem Ruinvivor had an embarrassed expression on his face.

There is no way not to be embarrassed. Although there are many incidents in Dalaran that cause the death of apprentices due to the carelessness of the instructors every year, if it is replaced by the archmage who smashed a promising young mage to death with his notes, it will definitely become a disaster. A series of gossip, he doesn't want to be the protagonist talked about by countless people behind his back.

"Oh, it's nothing, you didn't mean it anyway." Zhang Cheng sighed feeling unlucky, bent down and tried to pick up the notebook, which was as thick as a box.

The moment his fingers touched the cover, the notebook suddenly glowed with purple arcane light, and then shrank back to its original appearance in less than a second.

It was the first time he felt the magic of the shrinking spell, and immediately picked up the notebook and released several detection spells in succession. After a few minutes, he couldn't help but admire: "It's amazing! With the help of arcane energy, the volume of the object is reduced according to a certain ratio. Compress, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the volume and weight of the item, and then scale up when needed to restore it to its normal state."

"Hahahaha! This is the magic of magic, isn't it? Young people, don't just think about studying those powerful destruction spells all day long, and study other applications of magic when you have time. Believe me, they will It is the true meaning of arcane art, and it is the key to the Supreme Palace." Anslem Ruinvivor suggested in a tone of experience.

Zhang Cheng nodded approvingly: "Thank you very much for your guidance, I will take the time to go to the library to have a look. Oh, by the way, besides that stone, I also got some interesting things..."

Chapter 293 Political Idiot Jaina

No cover-ups or lies...

Zhang Cheng directly discussed and studied all the knowledge he had obtained from the world of Ice and Fire and Magic Earth with the archmage, eager to draw the inspiration and direction he needed from the other party's profound magical attainments.

Because he understands that he is a traveler, there is no need to hide all the acquired knowledge like a thief, but to share selectively, and gain more research directions through sharing.

What's more, according to the poor knowledge he has now, it is far from enough to attract the prying of a Dalaran archmage, so there is nothing to worry about.

In this way, for the next half month, Zhang Cheng and Anslem Ruinvivor stayed in the mage tower, constantly exchanging their understanding and views on magic.

Although as a beginner, Zhang Cheng's theoretical knowledge is far less solid than that of the archmage, but he can always think from a completely different angle, and even put forward suggestions that make the other party's eyes shine.

As they got to know each other better, Anslem Ruinvivor was surprised to find that the young man standing in front of him was not only a sponge for interference, absorbing all kinds of knowledge crazily, but also a A highly talented explorer is walking a path that no Dalaran mage has ever traveled.

eagerly!

never satisfied!

He couldn't imagine how a little guy who was supposed to be immersed in enjoying love and material things would be willing to give up such intoxicating beauty and devote his time and energy to endless learning.

You must know that according to the experience and rules summed up by some old mages in Dalaran, young mages always have to go through some setbacks or tribulations before they can truly calm down and appreciate the mysteries of magic research. The most simple example is Jaina Puro De Moore.

This young woman, known as the fastest-growing young woman in history, first triggered a fight between young men, and even Kael'thas Sunstrider, who was always known for his elegance and calmness, could not escape.

Immediately afterwards, she started a real relationship with Alsace, the heir of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, until the other party ordered the slaughter of Stratholme, who was infected by the plague, before they completely parted ways.

It can be said that Master Jaina's strength has improved rapidly at an incredible speed. It was from this period that she was already a powerful spellcaster surpassing her mentor Antonidas by the end of the Holy War of Hyjal.

Anslem Luinvivor even wondered if Zhang Cheng was stimulated by his mentor Ruisen's depressed death, so he turned a blind eye to the young and beautiful female mages and apprentices around him, let alone any gossip up.

Of course, doubts are doubts, and he didn't say it in person. At least for the current crisis-ridden environment, there is nothing more important than strengthening one's own strength.

Devotion to new research topics will always make people inadvertently ignore the loss of time.

After the two of them worked hard to figure out the combination law of that set of unknown magic runes, a sudden bad news interrupted their enthusiasm for research.

"My lord, the latest news. Not long ago, Ms. Jaina united with the tribes to launch an attack on the undead Scourge entrenched in the Razor Heights. The Lich-Amennar and his undead have been completely wiped out." A person looked A middle-aged mage in his 40s reported with a blank expression.

"What?! Is she crazy?" Anslem Ruinvivor's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I don't know if Ms. Jaina is crazy or not. The anti-evidence alliance is going crazy. Some people even shouted that she is not worthy of being a member of the alliance." The middle-aged mage put a piece of information on the table with a wry smile.

Although Dalaran is not as pervasive as SI[-] in Stormwind, it also has its own intelligence collection system.

Anslem Ruinvival picked it up and glanced at it for a while, then quickly turned around and asked Zhang Cheng, "What do you think of this?"

"How else can I look at it? I can only say that Miss Proudmoore is too naive in politics, and she doesn't understand what her actions mean, just like when she teamed up with Thrall to kill her father, and as a result, she was punished by everyone The hostility of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras is the same." Zhang Cheng spread his hands helplessly.

To be honest, sometimes he really doesn't understand how a proud girl who grew up in the court doesn't even have the most basic political knowledge.

The archmage nodded approvingly: "Sharp evaluation! Jaina is indeed too naive, not worthy of her power. But anyway, she is a member of the Kirin Tor Council, and I must personally come forward Deal with it."

"Are you planning to leave Dalaran?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, I need to leave for a few days. Don't worry, Cirvanas may be blinded by hatred, but she is still a ranger general with quite a strategic vision, and she will not take the initiative to provoke war at this time, let alone I won't attack Dalaran." Anslem Ruinvivor knew what Zhang Cheng wanted to express, and waved his hand nonchalantly.
