Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 144 Properties

"Increase the professional level of the Battle Mage!"

"Consume 3000 experience points!"

"The battle mage profession has been upgraded to level 3!"

"Acquire advanced learning abilities!"

……

As the level increased, Brian suddenly felt a surge of life energy spread throughout his body, and the tingling sensation in his brain was relieved a lot.

Obviously, every time he upgrades his level, his life energy, the so-called health value (HP), will also increase accordingly.

Immediately afterwards, he once again felt a wave of elemental energy emerge.

This made him seem to feel the existence of the magic net from a distant country and a distant time and space.

He couldn't help but want to grab it, just when his big hand transformed by mental power was about to touch the bright magic net, but it disappeared without a trace like a broken phantom.

There was a stinging pain in his mind, like an electric shock, which made Brian suddenly wake up and understand the reason.

Although the magic network on the Asno continent is being restored, it is still far from being able to cast second-level spells.

At this stage, even spellcasters who are lucky enough to become wizards can only learn zero-ring tricks.

After all, it is obviously impossible for a person who can't even see the face of the goddess of magic to untie her belt.

However, Brian, who failed in the attempt, was mentally prepared, because he never thought of leaving this world by hugging the thigh of the goddess of magic.

While he was talking about self-reliance and sufficient food and clothing in his heart, he skillfully controlled the arcane fire in his body and began to establish a link with the battle mage profession.

In a moment, he easily received a prompt from the system:
"The second-level spell was activated successfully!"

"Acquire the second-level spells of the Battle Mage: Flame Explosion, Ice Blade, Ma Youfu's Acid Arrow, Ring of Electric Shock, and Whirling Flying Blade."

…………

Seeing the evocation spells of the second ring that he had successfully activated, Brian nodded in satisfaction.

There is no doubt that although there are not many second-level spells awakened this time, the quality is not bad.

Flame, acid, lightning, ice, and force field attack spells are all available, allowing him to deal with almost all kinds of emergencies.

This is also the fundamental reason why he chose to work as a Battle Mage after careful consideration.

Because as the level increases, for players with the system, the spells of the Battle Mage can awaken on their own, instead of learning one by one by themselves like a wizard.

Although he has the Arcane Fire, he doesn't need to spend a lot of time and energy to rebuild the spell model, but activating every spell in the Arcane Fire also consumes magic energy.

At the beginning, it took him 10 points of magic energy and nearly ten hours to activate the first-level spells, but to activate the second-level spells, based on the speed at which he learned spells, he estimated that at least 50 points of magic energy and about two days' time would be required. time.

And if he chooses to work as a battle mage, when his level reaches level 3, he can instantly obtain several very practical attack spells, allowing him to directly have the means of attack.

In fact, the spells of a war mage are very special compared to wizards, priests, and warlocks, and they are also a very strange profession.

For their players, their charm attribute determines how many spells a battle mage can master after upgrading their level, and their intelligence attribute determines the power of their spells.

Likewise, strength and agility affect their fighting skills on the battlefield.

Brian's charisma attribute is 16 points. After the level is raised to level 3, only five second-level spells are awakened, which is not surprising.

It is this limitation that makes Battle Mage only choose a very limited number of attack spells to release. In their training, they only focus on their most commonly used spells.

So, their list of spells is less than wizards and even warlocks know.

The only advantage is that the spells that the Battle Mage knows have been significantly strengthened.

This was also what Brian valued the most. Just the two professional specialties of "Spell Sharpening" and "Sharpening Enhancement", which could hardly be obtained from other channels, were enough to surpass the spell power of most wizards.

As for the many flaws and shortcomings of the Battle Mage, they are perfectly made up for by his Arcane Fire.

It is this specialization that is even more extreme than the wizards of the Evocation School that makes this profession called: a mobile turret in the army.

For they are a group of master spellcasters who specialize in the art and skill of combat, rather than academic study or the secrets of the universe.

Their power is primarily focused on controlling the battlefield and unleashing their arcane rage on as many enemies as possible.

After all, in this kind of magical world, if you want to establish a peaceful and prosperous world that is not polluted by evil forces, only ideals will definitely not work.

Therefore, the battle mage profession, which studies every day how to maximize the use of evocation spells, and then repel the dark tide and win the victory, came into being.

This type of battle mage focuses almost entirely on the research of a single attack spell, rather than specializing in one school of thought like a regular wizard.

In the main material world, the employment channels for this kind of profession are usually concentrated in a war academy in a kingdom, and most of them are elite members of a group of battle mage organizations who swear allegiance to the royal family.

Their duty is to protect the kingdom from harm, cooperate with the army in battle, launch fixed-point blasting attacks under the cover of soldiers, and sprinkle magical waves of lightning, frost, and flames on the enemy.

Belong to the wizarding order indispensable to every powerful kingdom.

Brian has already made up his mind in his heart. After returning to Longshou Port, he will start to screen out some talented wizards in advance, establish a wizarding academy to teach them magic knowledge, and when the magic net recovers to a certain level, these people will Becoming a wizard is logical.

Then, according to their different talents in casting spells, a war mage organization known as the 'Army Mobile Fort' was established.

Even if it is a one-ring spell, if it is combined with a circular magic circle that can multiply the power of the spell, these low-level spells can still show powerful power.

For the army in this low-demon world, it can be called a dimensionality reduction strike.

Then he moved his eyes down and focused on a new characteristic obtained after the professional level was raised.

[Advanced learning (professional characteristics): At levels 3, 6, 9, 13, and 17, a battle mage can choose to learn a new spell. The highest level of spells known at the time.Note: Once chosen to learn, the spell is permanently transformed into a spell-like ability, which can be used once a day without prior preparation or consumption of casting materials. 】

……

Looking at the introduction of professional characteristics, Brian was silent for a long time, a little hard to make a choice.

With his current ability, he can choose up to a second-level evocation spell, which is a spell-like spell that can be cast once a day without consuming any ingredients or magic energy.

For this permanent evocation spell, he first excluded spells that he could master using arcane fire.

Then, he started looking for some evocation spells in the list that had both growth potential and functionality.

Ten minutes later, Brian decided on three second-level evocation spells and planned to choose one of them. They are:
[Cold Blade Ring Sweep (Second Ring Energy Evocation System): The caster uses arcane energy to condense a layer of frost on the sharp blade in his hand, sweeps the blade around in a circle, releases freezing cold waves, and freezes surrounding enemies. .Note: Enemies hit by the frost air will be frozen in place and unable to move if they fail the physical saving throw. 】

[Fire Assault (Second Ring Energy Evocation System): The caster uses arcane energy to transform into hot flames that dance around his limbs and weapons. When you attack or charge towards the enemy, your movement speed is instantly increased by 30%. , and a burst of arcane fire damages enemies. 】

[Dimensional Vortex (Second Ring Energy Evocation System): The caster has the ability to use force field spells to distort space.When using this spell, the extra-dimensional space around the target will be forcibly distorted by the force field. If the Fortitude save fails, the target will be forcibly teleported to the location specified by the caster. 】

…………

Brian thought about it for a long time and finally chose the third spell "Dimensional Vortex".

Although it is an evocation spell that cannot directly cause damage, Brian knows that this kind of force field spell that forcibly distorts the enemy's position is very rare. If used properly, this kind of functional spell can often play a role enough to reverse the situation of the battle.

This is a characteristic that those offensive spells do not have.

Moreover, he is a wizard who specializes in evocation spells, so he doesn't lack a variety of attack spells.

Compared to the other two spells, "Dimensional Vortex" is naturally more important.

After making the selection, Brian brought up his entire attribute bar:

Name: Brian

Blessing of Heaven Mountain (mild)
…………

Looking at his attribute bar, Brian is quite satisfied.

Because this is much stronger than the attributes of the same level in the game.

Judging from the panel attributes, he is more like a melee wizard at this time.

In fact, spellcasters of the melee style are not uncommon in the main material world, and there are even countless advanced professions derived from them with dual skills in combat.

Even if you encounter a ranger holding a bow and arrow, and suddenly rub a nine-ring spell "Meteor Burst", it will not surprise people.

A real world will never be as fixed as the pre-set data in the game world. There are always times when the routines are fully understood, and sometimes other professions will be weakened for the sake of game balance.

This is also the real reason why Brian was so fascinated when he encountered the kind of real and free immersive game in the previous life, which was like a blow to modern technology and suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

And the reason why he spent time learning combat skills and training melee expertise.

The main reason is that this is a world where the magic net is banned, and the purpose of learning combat skills is to enable oneself to activate the silent arcane fire faster and gain the ability to cast spells.

Without these melee abilities trained in the Elf Holy Land and Tigrela, which help him hunt monsters and accumulate magic energy on the mainland, he would not have been able to grow so fast.

After all, the number of spells that a low-level wizard can cast every day is really limited.

Based on his current ability, even with the help of the arcane fire, and because of the powerful god-like power and his own arcane energy, he can only cast about 5 second-level spells at most every day.

This is still in the case that there is no limitation of spell slots. If spells are cast using spell slots, the number will be even less.

Therefore, if you want to quickly gain experience in this world, improve your strength, and master good melee combat abilities, it is also essential.

Moreover, like his divine power, as well as the two major fields of animals and plants, they all have endless potential for growth.

On the premise that he doesn't need to waste time learning spells for the time being, it will also be his key research object in the future.

As long as these abilities are fully developed, his strength will definitely increase exponentially.

at this time.

Brian suddenly noticed a strange noise from the warning circle he had set up outside the door, which made him instantly realize who was approaching.

In order not to disturb his experiments and rituals, he set up two security circles inside and outside the tower at the same time.

If there were no special passwords for these magic circles, he would be aware of them instantly when they approached a certain range of the tower.

Even a powerful ceiling entity like Demon Swordsman Snake Eyes, who is proficient in stealth skills, would have difficulty evading the warning circle set up by a master of formations.

But at this time, someone was able to quietly escape the secret whistle outside the tower and successfully came to the tower, obviously because he had the password set by himself.

Thinking of this, Brian rubbed his forehead and forcibly pulled himself together.

Then he picked up the silver wine glass on the table and took a few sips of the elf honey wine prepared by alchemy.

As he drank the fragrant and sweet elf honey wine, his tightly locked brows slowly relaxed, and the tingling pain in his mind gradually weakened a bit.

This is the elf's specialty 'Hundred Flower Honey', which is produced by a strange bee that collects the honey produced by hundreds of flowers, and then brews it into wine. He added a little potion for rejuvenation, and it became a wine that can restore mental fatigue. Special mead.

At this time, he has been here for more than half a month without knowing it.

Now that all the things to be done are almost done, it is natural to plan to leave Golden Feather City tomorrow to do the most important thing right now.

Originally, he planned to use today's time to say goodbye to his princess.

Who would have thought that the princess came here by herself, which made him realize that what he asked her to do a few days ago should be completed.

As a wizard who had reached the top level, Brian could easily maintain his rationality.

Although he sometimes enjoyed the intimacy with Princess Korni, he could never let go of the ancient evils and the threats posed to the world by the newly emerged undead sect.

This made him clearly feel the inadequacy of his own strength, so that he longed for a rapid improvement in his own strength.

It was this sense of urgency that made him hide here alone again, neglecting Korni for more than ten days, and even leaving temporarily. I am afraid that he will not have time to come back in a short time.

Therefore, he decided to relax with her today, which can be regarded as a farewell.

For this beautiful and intelligent princess, he has already fallen in love with her from the bottom of his heart.

Just when Brian came to his senses and was about to open the door, Korni had already pushed the door open first and appeared in his sight.

As the bright sunlight slanted in, a light blue graceful figure caught his eyes.

As usual, Kearney was still wearing a light blue dress that impressed him.

Her long shawl hair framed her beautiful face, and her pale pink lips were slightly upturned, revealing a soft smile.

A breeze blew, her dress and long hair fluttered in the wind, shining in the sun, looking like a beacon of dazzling light.

Rao Brian, who thinks he is full of concentration, can't help but be deeply attracted by the energetic and soft smile that shines on her body every time he sees Kearney.

Let him instinctively think that this princess seems to have an incredible charm, making his body and mind extra peaceful and serene.

Of course, this may have a lot to do with him letting go of his vigilance and not deliberately controlling what he thinks in his mind.

After all, everyone has a love of beauty. In the final analysis, Brian is still a normal man, and he also likes to enjoy the occasional joy and happiness in life.

"Coming? I was going to find you."

Brian sat on the chair, looked softly at the noble and beautiful princess in front of him, and waved to her with a smile.

"Ah."

With a smile in her eyes, Ko Erni nodded slightly, and while lightly lifting the hem of the pleated skirt, she came towards Brian, while looking around with clear water blue eyes.

Although she had long known that Brian knew nothing about things like cleaning and tidying up, the messy books, scrolls, bottles and jars in the room, his messy hair, and the black cloak he often wore around him, They all made Korni feel friendly and warm.

Seeing Kearney walking in front of him, Brian stood up to greet her, and at the same time stretched out his arms to embrace the princess in front of him.

At this moment, no words can be more real than a warm hug.

Kearney smiled slightly, without any intention of dodging, she went up to him generously, silently and proactively leaned in his arms, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat.

Although the cold winter is about to come, the princess with the blood of the heavens has a higher cold resistance than his Heavenly Mountain Blessing, so naturally she will not be afraid of this level of severe cold.

This also means that the princess's clothes at this time are cool and thin.

Through the soft and silky fabric, Brian could clearly feel the fiery body in Kearney's dress that moved him, as well as her hair, face and full breasts, all the time exuding a kind of aura to him. Impressive fragrance.

It was this intoxicating and charming aura that made him feel dizzy and wanted to immerse himself in it.

He subconsciously wrapped the arm around Kearni's slender waist tightly like an iron hoop, and stroked her flushed face with the other hand, sliding down gently along the curve of her cheek , and then bowed his head and kissed her soft and moist lips without warning.

"Um...uh..."

Facing Bryan's sudden attack, Kearney, who was about to speak, was suddenly blocked. Her eyes were wide open, and she grabbed Bryan's clothes with both hands, and her body tensed up due to tension.

In the beginning, his kiss was gentle and sweet, which was what Kearni felt at first.

Soon, realizing what was happening, she gradually relaxed, raised her head and closed her eyes, her arms involuntarily groped upwards, wrapped her arms around Brian's neck, pressed her soft body close to him, and kissed him deeper and deeper.

Faint breaths and sounds gradually sounded in the silent room.

I do not know how long it has been……

When the lips of the two separated, Kearni's clear and moving eyes were already a little blurred, and there was a fiery blush on her white cheeks.

However, her self-control ability is obviously very strong, she took a deep breath and slowly recovered.

"Dear Brian, I didn't bother you when I came."

Kearni, who was breathing gradually and steadily, did not continue to lean against his chest, but got up and put her hands on his shoulders, watching him affectionately, as if she wanted to remember the man who took her first kiss forever bottom of my heart.

"Of course not, my princess."

Brian smiled back at her, and suddenly, he felt that this should be what he wanted, what he wanted was the person in front of him, not some noble title and noble blood, that's all.

"Brian, I..."

Before Kearney could finish speaking, he once again held her soft and boneless body and sat together on the chair next to her.

And she leaned into his arms docilely, then arched like a kitten, changing to a more comfortable position, and pressed against his chest tightly.

Brian's hand involuntarily stroked down Kearney's blushing cheeks again, and slipped silently from the reddened jade neck into her collar.

Korni subconsciously reached out and pressed the big burning hand.

When she raised her head and met the eyes of the two, she felt the heat on her cheeks.

So he lowered his eyes, bit his lips lightly, and gradually relaxed again.

Because her ears could clearly hear his heartbeat, which was beating steadily and powerfully, but frighteningly fast.

Let her involuntarily lean in his arms and close her eyes, enjoying every inch of his skin caressed wholeheartedly.

"Is everything ready?" Brian said with a smile, staring at Kearney's flushed and attractive face, and stroking her long hair that fell like a waterfall with the other hand.

He could clearly feel that her breathing, which she was trying to keep calm, began to become rapid, and her charming face couldn't help but show wisps of bright red.

Kearni twisted her body in her arms, looked at him angrily, smiled at him softly, nodded and said, "It's done."

After finishing speaking, he took out a pair of light blue wristbands dotted with golden silk threads.

Sensing the magic aura flashing on the wristband, Brian's expression moved, and he took it with one hand.

This pair of wrist guards was a piece of magical equipment he made in Blackman's mountains back then. Due to the limited conditions at that time, he could only make do with it temporarily.

Now, when I come to the prosperous Golden Feather City, I will naturally not forget my plan to remake this piece of equipment.

In addition to the original ogre material, he also inlaid a wind-attribute spar on each of the wristbands, and then asked Kearney to help him find a skilled tailor to remake it according to the style he designed on the blueprint. some.

Looking at the smooth and delicate streamlined shape of the ogre wristbands, and a light blue gem the size of a rice grain inlaid in each, Brian put it on his wrist directly, feeling the hidden power and amazing dexterity.
