Throne Steps

When Li Chen himself was able to concoct the successful nutrient potion with his eyes closed, his recitation content had already crossed the field of potion.

At the beginning, I just recited it for fun, but I thought it was memorizing three hundred Tang poems.But when the cloak threw a few books over, Li Chen knew that his mission was coming again.

One book after another, if it wasn't for the fact that his body seemed to have grown a bit, Li Chen almost thought that time here had frozen.But even if he can clearly determine that he is about the size of a five- or six-year-old child, he still feels that this is a bit absurd-he always feels that at least six or seven years have passed.

Probably when waiting, always feel that the time is very long!

Yes, Li Chen was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to escape.Even if the chains on his feet are still strong, there will always be a day when he will go out.He has already mastered the method of changing light stones, and sometimes he deliberately lights up the whole room—he really doesn't want to be blinded by the sunlight outside when he goes out one day.

The light stone would gradually lose its light every once in a while, so Li Chen took it down and threw it into a large jar filled with reagents, and then fished out the other one and put it on a high place again.This is a bit like charging, except that the lampstone is soaked in the reagent to "eat" the magic power again.

The number of lamp stones is not too small, Li Chen will take out one or two at random, as a source of magic power during practice.At first, it was used to debug reagents that needed to draw formations, and later it was used to support magic exercises.

Since the body itself is not compatible with the elements, even with the lamp stone, Li Chen still needs to use lengthy mantras to mobilize the flow of the elements before the official use.Although the spell was lengthy, it solved the problem that Li Chen could not "glow at his fingertips" like a cloak. After a long time, Li Chen became a tongue twister for "eight hundred pacesetters rushing to the north slope".

The lamp stone used as a source of magic power usually fades quickly, and basically can only support one potion experiment, and there are still some left over for two at most, and there are even a few times when Li Chen loses its light before he finishes chanting the magic spell.The cloak was too lazy to care about Li Chen's messing around, so Li Chen had to look up the data and try again, guessing that either the process of releasing the magic power was too slow, or the designation of the direction of the magic power was not precise enough...or the mobilization spell was read at the beginning. Too much time has already been wasted?

Li Chen didn't quite believe the plots he had seen on TV before. If he really called out the name of the move during the battle, he might be the first to hang it up.In the same way, if the magicians in this world had to chant curses first when confronting each other, wouldn't they be killed by a sword long ago?

——In fact, it is really normal for mages to recite incantations, but this is not mentioned later.

In order to reduce the failure rate, Li Chen divided half of the memorization mind into practicing fast silent recitation and movements, which require more deep-rooted memorization.

This kind of speed-up practice did not finally stabilize the frequency until a lampstone could sustain more than 5 reagent preparations, or complete two or three more complicated magic spells.

At this time, Li Chen was able to connect the mobilized and used spells together and quickly finished reciting silently, while the reagent array was inserted and completed accurately at the beginning of the reagent spell.

In fact, this speed has already surpassed the cloak, but Li Chen secretly felt that he could go one step further.Every time he recited the mantra, he could feel that his body seemed to be in an unusual state.What kind of abnormality it is, Li Chen still can't tell clearly, but if he can directly enter this state, is it possible to get rid of the spell completely?

Li Chen feels that if this reaction is not universal, then his guess may come true.But if he really has that kind of talent, why doesn't he have any magic talent at all?

He raised his left foot and swung it, and the chain made a rattling sound.

Li Chen has grown to eight or nine years old, and now there are only three questions entrenched in his mind.

One, what does the cloak look like?

Second, what do you look like?

Third, what exactly is the reagent that needs your own blood?

Regarding the first two questions, even Li Chen felt very helpless, but after being bored for so many years, he always wanted to have some fun.He had never seen the cloak changed, and it was a miracle that this man didn't stink; and he had tried to see his own face from the water cellar—but it was all in vain.

The third problem that seems to be the most difficult to figure out has a turning point first.

At this time, there seemed to be not many supplies left in the house, and the cloak did not allow Li Chen to experiment with it, so he could only make daily supplies such as nutrients or magic supplements.Li Chen returned to having nothing to do, so he put all the time on doing experiments back to theory, and recited some long spells that he didn't know what they were used for.

A book was slammed in front of him.

In fact, this scene has not appeared for a long time, and it usually means "back".Li Chen picked up the book and flipped through it, and found that it was the one that he couldn't touch that was always in front of the cloak, so he couldn't help being stunned.

This is the first time Li Chen has seen the title of this book. It is not a common language, not to mention incomprehensible, even the pronunciation needs to be thought about - these words are definitely rare words in a non-common language.

Over the years, Li Chen's common language was lackluster. Although the non-common language is not very good, it has reached the point where it can be used to communicate with the cloak.Li Chen now feels somewhat disappointed when he finds that the title of the book that Cloak has been reading all year round is not even easy to read.

Sure enough, he was still too far behind the cloak.

This book is obviously the record of the medicine formula that needs blood.The pages that Cloak often read were not difficult to find, but they were obviously a group of medicine types, and there were branches under the main line, some formulas were similar, and some were quite different.

No wonder the raw materials are often different when observing the cloak making, so it turns out that different potions are being made.

What these medicines are used for may be written in the book, but Li Chen really can't understand it, and it is impossible to rely on the cloak to explain.As for the formula written in the book, Li Chen can only recognize a few commonly used ingredients, and it is really difficult to distinguish the others. The word "blood" is understandable, but there are several different attributives, so Li Chen is not sure which one his own blood is.

In short, one thing can be confirmed, these attributives for "blood" do not have the meaning of "children".

Putting aside the classics that he was memorizing, Li Chen started his research on this book with these few pages as the beginning and focus.

- This is the last book here.

Not long after Li Chen had decided that "lack of supplies" would become an opportunity to escape, things that could truly count as emergencies in the past few years were coming without warning.

Before Li Chen finished studying the book, he could barely memorize the pages that Cloak often read.It is not wise to face the same boring stuff all the time, Li Chen often finds time to look at other complicated content.

I have a hunch... I'll regret it if I don't do it.

Just as he was about to return his attention to the book in the cloak, the man suddenly walked towards him.

The name of a semi-finished reagent, followed by the quantity.

Li Chen realized that the cloak asked him to prepare reagents.He was standing up to find the raw material of this semi-finished reagent, but he heard the cloak immediately read another raw material and weight.

Allocation of teaching? !

This is definitely the first time.Li Chen didn't care about asking what the cloak should be matched with, and concentrated on distinguishing the liquid raw materials with his sense of smell, and occasionally grabbed powder or granular solids and sprinkled them in.

Finally, a light stone melted into the cup of liquid.

The cloak opened a book and handed it to Li Chen. Li Chen had read and penned the complicated graphics and lengthy non-common language, but he didn't have time to memorize it.But the cloak had already grabbed three light stones for him from the magic supplement, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

He quickly recited the mobilization spell silently, as if some power filled his body, and then started using the spell and formation at the same time.Li Chen used to memorize the spells and patterns before he dared to actually prepare the preparations, but now he can only follow the instructions from the books, and he can't help being a little nervous.

Even if he knew all those characters, even if he had read them, there was a possibility of making mistakes.Deliberately slowing down his speech, Li Chen devoted more attention to drawing the formation.The faint brilliance left a light path with his fingertips, although it was not as long as the cloak, it was at least clearly recognizable.

No matter how frightened he is, Li Chen is done.He threw the light stone in his hand back into the magic supplement, and then handed the reagent to the cloak.

After taking the cloak, he changed hands and threw it on the wall.

……Failed?Li Chen watched the opponent's movements.

The cloak raised his hand, pointed his index finger at the reagent on the wall, and a spell that Li Chen was not familiar with sounded like chanting in the room.Li Chen couldn't see exactly what kind of formation the cloak had drawn - the range of motion of his index finger was too small, as if it was just a conspicuous trembling.

This is a way to speed up drawing, but it is prone to positional deviations.The smallest reagent formation that Li Chen can complete is also twice the size of this one.

The moment the spell ended, a strong light emanated from the wall, and then the image appeared!

If it wasn't for the wrong angle of view, Li Chen would have thought that a hole had suddenly been pierced in the wall.The displayed interface is about a circle, about the size of a girl's dressing table standing mirror, clearly showing the actions of a group of people.

——Illusory Realm? !

This is the name of another complicated spell, but Li Chen couldn't help but apply it to the current situation.Seeing someone other than himself and the cloak for the first time, even a living thing, he was a little excited.But he understood that this was definitely not the sudden kindness of the cloak asking him to watch the outside world.

This group of people seemed to be marching, about forty men, all dressed in uniform armor-like clothing, or with swords pinned to their waists or holding long halberds and heavy axes.Li Chen still doesn't know much about this world, but this battle is definitely an organization that has not escaped.

Even if the cloak didn't say anything, Li Chen had already made up his mind.After reading so many classics, he has roughly guessed the identity of the cloak.As for this identity, Li Chen can infer its unpopularity from the limited book research in this life and the film and television experience in his previous life.

"Found it?" The cloak looked at the image, and suddenly laughed fiercely, "Idiot."

To put it bluntly, the word "idiot" can be regarded as one of the lingua francas Li Chen is most familiar with.

Cloak no longer looked at the group of "idiots" who were marching, but directed Li Chen to cover the ground with paper.Except for some of the sealed reagents that were put away by the cloak, the rest of the containers were pushed to the side—regardless of whether they contained liquid or not—along with the books on the floor.

Li Chen was really busy for a while, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to see what the cloak meant, and he didn't plan to help at all.The scene after the paving was quite similar to the scene of tearing books after the college entrance examination - because there was not enough paper, Li Chen tore a lot of large paper books under the instruction of the cloak.

It's just that the paper on the ground here is denser, and the ground can no longer be seen.Li Chen was afraid that moving the paper back and forth would reveal flaws, so he laid two or three layers back and forth.

"Like this painting, draw two." The cloak stuffed Li Chen with a piece of paper, which seemed to be torn from some book, "paint all over the ground."

This graph is very complex, and it is easy to lose shape after zooming in.But this time Li Chen didn't dare to move any slower, because he recognized the figure.

In an old classic, there is a graph proposed after complex calculations and inferences.This graph is completely piled on top of theoretical construction, without practical conclusions, or even accompanying mantras.Ke Lichen memorized it, and his memory almost completely coincided with the paper in his hand.

——Send the array!

Even such an ancient book could not deduce the formation of the spell, and Li Chen firmly remembered its name in the non-universal language family.

When Li Chen finished painting, the image on the wall had disappeared, and the cloak came over and put a small bottle of Li Chen's blood.Li Chen looked at his wrist in a daze, as if the bottle just now had exceeded 400cc.

Does this mean that we are going to say goodbye?Li Chen's rationality suddenly came to his senses.

Are you leaving?leave here!leave him!Li Chen kept confirming this information in his mind, then overturning it, and then confirming it again.

The cloak's dagger did not retract.He squatted down, with the dagger sticking to Li Chen's ankle, cutting and grinding it with a "prick, prick, prick".

The words "escape from birth" literally flashed through Li Chen's mind.

"You..." Li Chen looked at the movement of the cloak and suddenly asked, "A necromancer?"

All the classics show that only necromancers will use blood as a raw material for reagents.This is the greatest evidence to rule out the identity of an alchemist.

"Clang!" The cloak snapped the last link of the chain.

"...!" Li Chen's body shook violently.He seemed to feel that he became light instantly... No, no!

He is no stranger to this feeling, and even eagerly pursued it for a while.

The elements are drawing near - this is the state of mana!

As if echoing his conjecture, the magic power suddenly swept his body like a gust of wind, making him almost fall!Li Chen closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth secretly, allowing himself to hold on to the feeling of being overwhelmed like a violent wave hitting the shore.

The magic power washed his internal organs, and the world was like a rotating pirate ship, making him dizzy and unbearable.

It felt like it took a long time before the tide receded, but Li Chen still stood still and didn't recover.He seems to have returned to his normal state, but there are some differences after careful analysis.

Just when he wanted to observe carefully, he couldn't help opening his eyes because of his slackness.

"This...!" Li Chen blinked vigorously to confirm that this was not an illusion.

……color!

The lights in the room were dim, but Li Chen could indeed see the color.Except for a moment of trance when he just opened his eyes, various colors quickly became clear in his eyes.Soft yellow and white lights, colorful reagents piled up to the corner, white and yellowed paper all over the floor, two black array inks are large and repeated.

On the bookshelves, books with the same color casing are stacked together, forming large blocks of color.

Li Chen had figured out how these books were classified a long time ago, but he didn't expect them to be assigned colors according to their categories.

Looking at his ankles, the metal that was as thin as an anklet was still there, but it was no longer bound by the chain.Li Chen couldn't figure it out, but he also understood that this was the result of unlocking the chain.

"What is this?" Li Chen stared at the severed metal chain, then at the cloak, "What am I?"

Why not untie the last one too?

The tunic of the cloak is dark brown.He let out a gloomy laugh, still did not answer Li Chen's question, but only ordered: "Stand over."

Li Chen looked at the cloak, chose to be silent for a while, and stood in one of the teleportation formations as he said.

The cloak stuffed all the light stones—including those in the replenishment liquid and the lighting on the wall—in Li Chen's arms, and poured all the magic power replenishment liquid on the magic circle where Li Chen was standing.

The paper was soaked, and the ink was slightly scattered.If it is longer, the graphics may be blurred.

Boom boom boom!

There was a sound from outside the house, it should be from the direction of the door.Li Chen had seen that door before, but it couldn't be opened from the inside, and it had never been opened before. Even the knock on the door was the first time Li Chen knew.

"It came very quickly." The cloak sneered, and walked to another teleportation formation, "Get ready, read after me."

Only then did Li Chen understand the function of the lamp stone in his arms, and was about to recite the mobilization spell silently, but heard the cloak speak again.

"Recall the feeling just now." The cloak said, "Guide it with your own magic power!"

Fortunately, Li Chen had made a similar attempt a while ago, otherwise it would be really hard to understand what the cloak said.Even so, it took some time for the first real success.

The cloak noticed that Li Chen had entered the state, and opened his mouth to chant the spell.

Li Chen didn't dare to neglect, and started to read afterward.He is familiar with every pronunciation, and every sentence of the cloak is also very short. They seem to be relaying, and the sentences gradually fit together.

The knocking on the door outside became urgent, so loud that it almost slammed on the door.The cloak also sped up his speech. If Li Chen hadn't been concentrating, he might have made a mistake if he was not careful.

The brilliance of the lamp stone weakened rapidly, but the brilliance emanating from the formation illuminated the entire room.The paper was blown up by the whirling wind from nowhere, and the ink stains had long been scattered irrecoverably, but the formation was still shining brightly under the two people's feet, like a light imprint engraved on the ground.

Li Chen was used to reciting spells silently, but now he was reciting them aloud like a cloak, frantic papers brushed his arms and cheeks - the last character was over!

Strong light was everywhere, and Li Chen wanted to catch a glimpse of the cloak's face at the last moment, but was quickly overwhelmed by the light.

Farewell, Necromancer!

Boom-!

The wooden door was hacked open by a heavy axe, and there was a slight "Zi La!" in the huge chopping sound, but no one paid attention.

"This shit is finally broken!" Holding a heavy ax is one of the members who just appeared in the video, "Everyone rushed in to catch the living...Huh?!"

A stone hit his head, and when he looked up, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The house shook violently!

"Oops! This is going to fall!"

"Run!!!"

As if the pillars had crumbled, the beams of the house were broken, and the stones were rolling—

Rumble!
