Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 36 Level Up
The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines into the village, dispersing the thick and sticky morning fog, and the surrounding scenery suddenly becomes clear.

Standing on the arrow tower, Brian crossed his arms, leaned against the fence, and looked casually.

A large cloud of white cooking smoke rises from the village, and a few girls with freckles on their faces carry wooden barrels to the stream to fetch water, and the stream is gurgling down, clear and sweet.

In the village, the noise of people and livestock began to resound, children played in groups of three and four, and a few chickens and puppies strolled along the path, as if patrolling their own territory.

After an unknown amount of time, Brian withdrew his thoughts of drifting away, and looked at a gloomy place he passed by last night with a little ecstasy.

There was a wasteland surrounded by shrubs and dwarf trees. The weeds on the rotting ground were sparse, rough and gray. The leaves of the bushes on the edge of the wasteland had already withered and were constantly withering.

Brian could clearly feel the smell of decay and an inexplicable sense of crisis, slowly dominating the clearest sky above the wasteland.

Ancient Evil: Destroyer Death Star!
When the pale death moon falls, all life, all pain, all suffering, will be silenced in perfect immortality.

Whenever Brian recalled the Asno Continent he had seen in his previous life and the records about the ancient evils, he would feel shuddering.

Because of an inexplicable fear, since he can remember, it has begun to take root and sprout in his heart, slowly expanding, and finally occupying all his thoughts, which made him more determined to leave this world.

That's why Brian went to the Elven Holy Land, intending to face the future arrival point of the evil, and use the method he mastered to delay the destruction of the evil.

Only in this way can he have more time to grow his own strength.

After all, Brian, as the producer, knows how difficult it is to increase the level of Arcane Fire.

It took him more than 20 years just to fully activate the arcane fire hidden in his body.

The main reason why it took such a long time was that in the process of activating the Austrian fire, there was no way to rely on foreign objects, and it could only slowly absorb the original magic that was free in the air.

In the main material world, he can connect the arcane fire to the magic net, and use the energy of the magic net to ignite it instantly.

But here, this method obviously doesn't work. He can only slowly accumulate magical energy through meditation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't waste so much time in vain.

Moreover, Brian knew that the resources of Asno, a small plane, were not enough to support him to raise it to level 7 or above in a short period of time.

When the level of Arcane Fire is increased to level 3 or above, there will be many special media items and rare materials that increase the level, which require a lot of time and energy to make.

However, Brian can clearly feel that the approximate time when the ancient evil creature destroys the world is likely to happen in the past two years.

Time is very urgent for him, and he can only pin all his hopes on his unsure method.

Brian has even made plans for the future. If the speed of the ancient evil beings destroying the world is really slowed down, he may return to the Kingdom of Tigrela that he once tried to leave.

Then, you can use your noble status to obtain a fief, develop your power, and accumulate more resources for yourself.

After all, he can no longer go back through shortcuts, even if he doesn't want to, he can only choose to calm down and develop quickly.

This also means that the power brought by a single person is definitely not as strong as the power of a group.

Brian stopped thinking about it. With a thought, he immediately looked at the status bar that appeared in his retina.

In last night's battle, he relied on the small-scale first-level spell he had mastered to almost eliminate nearly 100 goblins in the woods alone.

Even "Arcane Recollection", a special ability that instantly restores magic power, is used without hesitation.

This naturally allowed him to gain a lot of experience.

Although a small goblin only has two or three experience points at most, more than 1 goblins add up to more than 100 experience points.

Thinking of this, Brian directly began to upgrade the level of the Battle Mage.

"Increase the professional level of the Battle Mage!"

"Consume 1000 experience points!"

"The battle mage profession has been upgraded to level 2!"

"Get an Expertise Point!"

……

As the level rises, Brian can clearly feel the increase in his vitality and spiritual power, and his senses, including the control over the arcane fire, have also been significantly strengthened.

If the vitality corresponds to the life value (HP), then the increase in mental power is obviously more similar to the magic value (MP) than the increase in spell slots.

Theoretically speaking, Bryan is more similar to what players jokingly call: the blue bar mage.

Looking at the few experience points left after leveling up, Brian sighed slightly, and could only temporarily put the idea of ​​part-time jobs out of his mind.

As a spellcaster, a battle mage needs much more experience to level up than an ordinary melee professional.

If you want to work part-time, there will be an additional 30% part-time penalty, which will make his slow growth rate even more difficult.

Besides, he still hasn't figured out what career he plans to work part-time in the future.

In the past, he would have definitely taken a part-time job as a psionist who could cast psychic powers without hesitation, but this world was different.

Because most races do not have the talent to master psionic energy, such as psychic energy.

The easiest way to tap out one's own psychic power is to be implanted with tadpoles in the brain by the mind flayer race known as the 'Psychic Master'.

However, this also means that he will be limited by the control of these monsters, and even completely obliterate his will, making it almost difficult to survive by chance.

This kind of adventure is obviously a joke with one's own life, which is not advisable at all.

And Brian just happened to master another ritual that relied on the purification of the blood of the psychic race. As long as he successfully integrated it, he would also have the talent to cast psychic energy.

The problem is that this approach simply doesn't work in this world.

The main material of the ceremony mainly comes from extracting the blood of the psychic races such as Erlan, gray dwarves, Serfins, mantises, Maynards, and even the legendary gem dragons, etc., and fusing them into their own bodies, combining them into their own bodies. Use it for yourself.

If it is a gemstone dragon, it is relatively simpler, just use dragon blood to arrange a special dragon blood baptism ceremony.

But Brian has lived in this world for so long, and he has never heard any news about these psychic races, let alone this kind of jewel dragon, which is extremely rare even in the main material world.

Therefore, now he is naturally not in a hurry to work part-time in other professions.

Then, Brian set his sights on a specialty point he had obtained.

As a basic profession, Battle Mage can also gain additional specialty points when leveling up.

Fortunately, these specialties are similar to those of the wizard profession, and Brian, who has no in-depth knowledge of battle mages, will not feel too unfamiliar with them.

So he quickly began to check the spellcasting feats he could master.

[Battlefield spellcasters: The training of battle mages allows them to avoid spell failure when they use light armor and light shields to fight.And spellcasters who master this feat, on the basis of light armor, allow them to wear armor one level heavier than usual, regardless of its arcane spell failure rate. 】

[Sharpening and strengthening: Battle mages are the most famous arcane practitioners and evocation masters on the battlefield. Their ability to cause spell damage is always different from ordinary people.Battle mages who have mastered this feat will receive an additional 20% bonus to the spell damage they inflict on the basis of the 'spell sharpening' ability. 】

[Keep insight: As a spellcaster free from the battlefield, a battle mage is not only a melee master, but also a scholar who explores the mysteries of magic.This allows them to train in the long-term battle to have insight that is different from ordinary people when facing magic and danger. 】

……

Brian couldn't help but fell into deep thought as he looked at the expertise he could obtain.

For him, first of all, "Battlefield Spellcaster" is a specialty that can be directly ruled out, because he himself has a similar specialty.

While his feat limits him to casting spells in light armor such as mail, at best, that's more than enough for him.

After all, with his current status as an adventurer, wearing heavy armor to fight, even if it does not affect his own spellcasting, will seriously reduce his attack speed, making his agile and flexible swordsmanship unable to play its fullest role.

Then came "Sharpening Empowerment" and "Sharp Insight".

Brian would love to choose both if he could, but that's clearly not possible.

This made him fall into choice phobia.

These two specialties are very important to Bryan now.

As the name suggests, "Sharpening Enhancement" is an enhanced version of "Spell Sharpening", and its function is also simple and rude, directly increasing the damage of all his attack spells by 20%.

And the function of "keen insight" is similar to the composite version of the skill of "magic identification" and the feat of "vigilance".

In addition to helping oneself to warn of sudden dangers, when facing the spellcaster's enemies, it can also allow him to more quickly identify the spells that the opponent is about to release, and make the most correct response.

However, although Brian obviously had a difficult choice in his mind, after careful consideration, he still preferred the "Sharpening Enhancement" feat.

Because he himself has mastered the "vigilance" specialty similar to early warning, and as a top wizard in his previous life, his mind is naturally full of all kinds of obscure and mysterious knowledge and endless levels of spells.

When it comes to identifying spells, Brian is still very confident.

Although the system he carries has been simplified a lot due to his rebirth in the real world, his skill level cannot be manifested into simple data at all.

But Brian can't guarantee anything else. For him who has not lost his memory, his own "mysterious knowledge" and "spell recognition" are two skills that rely on the accumulation of knowledge and are enough to pile up the levels. He still has these skills. Be confident.

After such an analysis, Brian suddenly felt that this "Sharp Insight" specialty suddenly became not very popular for him.

So Brian didn't think too much about it, and directly chose the "Sharp Enhancement" specialty.

In this way, his spell damage has increased significantly. When he masters the most representative evocation spell "Fireball" of the third ring, with the blessing of these two specialties, it is simply a flexible fortress. .

In a small-to-medium scale battle, his presence might even forcibly reverse the situation on the battlefield.
