Arcane Lord

However, when Xia Duo opened the room and was about to step in, the damn severe pain struck again, and this time it was even more violent, almost twisting all the internal organs into a ball.

Even the bones, flesh and blood were in chaos. Xia Duo plopped down at the door of the magic laboratory. The severe pain at this moment almost made his mind go blank.

He ignored Ta Ling's warning of a fine. Whether it was due to instinct or will, Sha Duo struggled into the magic laboratory with the last trace of reason.

After closing the door, he fell into complete loss of control.

If there is another mage in this magic laboratory, he will find that the magic network around Sha Duo is shaking violently. Even in the magic laboratory, which is good at calming the fluctuations of the magic network, it cannot be completely eliminated. calm.

"Apprentice Xia Duo, the spell energy level exceeds level 0, and the spell laboratory automatically upgrades. The current prepayment amount: 100 gold coins, and the remaining usage time: 10 hours."

But Xia Duo didn't react at all. At this moment, he had come to that magical dream again. This time he was still transformed into the Yangtze River, starting from the snowy area and flowing all the way into the East China Sea.

Then return to the source again, start again, and so on.

In the previous two magical dreams, Xia Duo was able to maintain a clear consciousness, but this time, Xia Duo did not have obvious consciousness at the beginning, but was confused and confused.

But his consciousness continued to grow in the circulation of the Yangtze River until he had a clear self.

Suddenly a dream occurred.

…

"A dream within a dream?"

Xia Duo has realized that he is in a magical dream, and the previous experience was like a dream within a dream, which was completely confusing.

The dream was still going on at this moment, and Xia Duo didn't know how to exit the dream. He didn't even know where his consciousness was. He was now a Yangtze River, from the source to the end where it merged into the East China Sea.

From the main trunk to the tributaries, no matter whether it is clear or dirty, everything is as familiar as my own body!

I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Duo felt his dream shake, and he escaped instantly.

…

In reality, a magic laboratory.

Cough - puff -

He coughed twice in succession, and a stream of water spat out from Xia Duo's mouth. When he raised his hand, his hand was all wet. When he moved a little, his expression was also wet. Looking around, centered on the position where he fell before, there was a large area of ​​ground. They were all wet as if someone had poured a large puddle of water on them.

Compared to the last time I was just wet on the blanket in my magical dream, this time it was simply too exaggerated!

Xia Duo stood up from the ground with one hand on the ground. During this process, he hardly exerted much force. His arms, torso, and legs were coordinated, and his strength was significantly greater than before.

After entering the state of concentration in spellcasting, Xia Duo, who could only touch the superficial layer of the magic net, immediately discovered the deep structure of the magic net, and he had a feeling that as long as he "thinks", the deep structure of these magic nets will definitely respond accordingly. .

However, Xia Duo suppressed his curiosity and did not immediately use the magic net to show the power of the first-level magic. Instead, he carefully "observed" the deep structure of the magic net.

Similar to the surface layer, the "appearance" of these deep structures is like flowing strands, but they are distinct from the surface layer and have a clear boundary.

This should be the first layer of the Magic Network. In the "Magic Network Layering Theory" class, Master Chavira mentioned that the Magic Network is a multi-layered structure. This is already an "advanced" course that few apprentices can choose. .

It's just that I didn't intuitively "see" the deep structure of the Magic Network before. Not to mention the multiple layers, the first layer couldn't be seen, so I basically didn't have a deep understanding of the layering theory.

But now Xia Duo instantly understood many issues that he had not been able to figure out before.

…

Then, Xia Duo tried to "touch" the "strands" of the first layer of the Magic Network, imitating the application of [magic tricks] on the surface of the Magic Network, but the structure of the first layer of the Magic Network did not fluctuate alone.

Instead, it connects the "threads" on the surface of the magic net, which is similar to the effect of pulling a hair to move the whole body.

But in turn, "influencing" the surface layer of the magic network alone will not affect the deep magic network.

Xia Duo's first-level magic theory is to connect the surface of the magic network in various forms and multiple locations to achieve the purpose of affecting the deeper magic network.

It's nothing more than a cycle of trial and error - summary - trial and error before being able to "see" the deep structure with your own eyes. Because he is quite proficient in the principles of 0-level spells, Xia Duo has the confidence to become an official mage before Midsummer's Day this year.

But now, he has glimpsed the first layer of the magic network. He doesn't even need to study the first-level spells by himself. The warlock blood may have its own first-level spells.

It can be said that he can be regarded as an official mage now. Although he is only the weakest official mage, as long as Xia Duo is given enough time, he will reach the level of mastering the principles of level 1 spells and even progress towards level 2.

In Xia Duo's view, there are no bottlenecks in the upgrade of mages, and all progress can be traced.

Basically, as long as you are exposed to the magic network, as long as you live long enough, as long as you are motivated, then becoming an archmage is basically a sure thing, and the grind is done.

As for the legends above the Archmage, Shado couldn't guess. It was mentioned in "The Biography of the Archmage Darthriel" that the legends were beyond the scope of normal humans and were true legends.

From this point of view, the magic network and magic in other worlds are like nature and science on the earth, and mages are equivalent to scientists who promote the progress of civilization. But now it seems that the mages of Netheril seem to have a low level of awareness!

…

And now that the small goal of becoming an official mage has been completed ahead of schedule, Xia Duo's next goal can be set on the archmage, and it is a guaranteed goal. His real goal is to become an arcanist.

A true arcanist!

In fact, Xia Duo is already on the path of arcane magic. He is exploring the principles of magic and discovering the essence of the magic network. All he needs to do is to perform some kind of special advancement ritual.

Although there is not even a real arcanist in the Saville Territory now, the knowledge lords about the advancement ceremony must know that there is a great arcanist ancestor who is who knows how far ahead of others at the starting line.

It's a pity that the lord is useless and failed to advance. It is said that the lord's follower, Mage Aibo, has the hope of becoming an arcanist. However, this news has been circulating for a long time. There is no news of success yet, so it is still unknown.

While looking back on the frightened days at Savile, Shado imagined the time when he had perfected his magic and became an important figure in this world. Shado smiled proudly.

Moreover, the more you laugh, the more exaggerated it becomes, and the more you laugh, the more unscrupulous it becomes.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

In the end, tears came out of laughter, and the laughter gradually changed. It was hard to tell whether it was laughter or crying. Xia Duo's long-suppressed emotions were completely released!

Joining the Mage Tower at first was just a way to save your life in a precarious situation. Becoming an official Mage is the beginning of establishing yourself in this world!

At this moment, Xia Duo's self-confidence was unprecedentedly high!
