This giant dragon is so powerful!

In the dragon's lair.

Sophia opened the enchanted treasure chest and took out the animal skins and scrolls that shone with magical aura.

These animal skins and scrolls carry different levels of magical knowledge. There are everything from zero-level magic, to low-level spells of the first and second levels, to mid-range spells of the third and fourth levels.

And these are all accumulated by the Sieglinde family's dedication over the past few years. Since the establishment of the Mage Tower, these spells have been concentrated in the tower for all Dragon Vein Warlocks to study.

"Roy, this guy is really careful." Udi swept through these spells and found that not only were there a wide variety of spells, but there were also some rare spells.

There are two basic requirements for making a hide or scroll that contains magical knowledge. One is to cultivate this magic to the highest level [Return to Nature], and the other is that the production materials must be able to carry the magic knowledge. The higher the magic knowledge, the rarer the materials required. For example, knowledge of forbidden spells often requires the use of legendary biological materials.

The second requirement is a little simpler. But the threshold for the first condition is undoubtedly very high. Tricks and low-level spells are okay. Except for some rare ones, most of them are sold in large quantities on the market. But when it comes to mid-level spells, the difficulty of obtaining them increases linearly.

It has been almost seven years since Wu Di obtained the mage profession. Now, the mage level has reached the eighth intermediate level, but among the spells he has mastered, the only return-to-true level spell is the second-ring water element strengthening technique.

There are four mastery level spells.

Although Oudi has no talent in spells and cannot be called a genius, he has a good plan. Although he does not gain proficiency day after day, he occasionally gives himself a holiday and enjoys the service of a maid, but in summary , he is definitely diligent.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Wu Di has learned a large number of spells, so he is not particularly specialized. If he were specialized, there would be several spells that could reach the True Return level.

But among the spells that Wu Di has learned now, each one has its corresponding function, and it is not a random learning.

"If you want to become a powerful mage, the road ahead is still long." Wu Di could only sigh silently.

A truly powerful mage must not only have reached a certain level, but must also possess a vast amount of spell knowledge, and this spell knowledge must be refined and thorough. Even later, after accumulating enough spell knowledge, he can develop spells that are most suitable for him.

To put it more vividly, the improvement of the mage level is the improvement of the quality and quantity of spirit, magic power, and soul, while the magic is to increase the amplitude of the first three on the basis of three, five, ten, or even tens or hundreds of times. , exerting a devastating effect.

Looking at the scrolls of magic knowledge displayed by Sophia, Udi picked and picked, and finally chose three that he felt were useful.

They are:

Water Mirror Technique·Zero Ring Spell (Magic), Effect: Consume magic power to create a mirror composed of water elements.

——The cost of learning this spell is low. It can be learned in just a few days. It doesn’t require proficiency. Just get started. By then, Oudi can look in the mirror at any time and watch the ‘battle’ scenes in real time through the water mirror. +1 for fun.

Understanding Languages·First-level spell (lower level), effect: During the duration of the spell, you can understand the literal meaning of the words you hear. You also understand the written words you see, but you have to get in touch with the surface of the written words.

——Although the dragon inheritance knowledge records the languages ​​of many races, except for a few languages, such as dragon language, giant language, and common language, which are mastered at birth, the others need to be mastered through independent learning. . Although it is not difficult to master the language, it is very troublesome and the strength cannot be improved, so after seeing this spell, Wu Di became interested in learning it. It can also be regarded as a lazy spell.

Guarding Barrier·Third-level spell (mid-level), effect: consumes magic power and sets up an invisible spell defensive barrier. The caster can freely enter and exit the barrier, and can also mark his own allies so that they can enter and exit freely.

——Learning this spell is something Wu Di thinks is unsafe, considering that the Dragon Nest is basically undefended except for the dragonborn maid and the gryphon mine, especially now that there is black sarcoma. If this kind of thing is leaked, Wu Di will Di estimated that if he were not careful, the entire Taal plane would fall.

"Okay, put the rest away and take them back to the mage tower." Udi left these three magic knowledge scrolls and signaled to Sophia that the selection was over.

"Yes." Sophia nodded respectfully, waved her fair and slender palm, and the magic knowledge scroll was put into the enchanted treasure box under the invisible hand. Then the enchanted treasure box levitated in mid-air and followed Sophia away.

This is the power of the caster. To be more precise, he is a Dragon Vein Warlock.

Perhaps because she had served Wu Di personally for two years, the dragon power in Sophia's body had accumulated too much. She awakened her blood a few days ago and became a dragon warlock.

The spell she is casting now is not a spell in her bloodline, but something she learned herself, the zero-ring trick·Mage's Hand. After becoming a warlock, with the help of the power of blood, he has the qualification to cast spells, and can naturally learn other types of spells.

However, Sophia has only been a Dragon Vein Warlock for a short time, so her combat effectiveness has not improved much, but her efficiency in daily maid work has improved a lot.

In the following days, Wu Di began to study these three spells and mastered them one by one.

"Guard the barrier." Wu Di muttered a spell, and a large amount of magic power surged out of the dragon's claws, and a circular white light spread out around him with him as the center.

After the white light enveloped the entire dragon nest, Wu Di stopped the magic power delivery.

The giant white mask also disappeared into the air and became invisible.

The guard barrier is in place.

Although the third-ring entry-level guard barrier has weak defensive capabilities and can only block low-level creatures and low-level professionals, it is enough for the time being. Even if it cannot block intermediate and high-level creatures, it can also serve as a warning spell.

Next, Oudi marked the dragon-born maid and the harpy maid with the marks that they could enter and leave the barrier freely.

The days that followed became calm again.

Some small things happened in the middle.

For example, the members of the Wolf Adventure Group were successfully taught by Shi Ji, and after they fully understood their status and situation, they were given dragon blood.

Among them, Thiessen, the leader of the Wolf Adventure Group and a senior warrior professional, was personally used by Udi to use the dependent contract.

As for how to judge the loyalty of other adventurers?

After all, Shiji's training cannot be 100% sure of their loyalty, and this group of adventurers is not a family and cannot be easily restrained. Therefore, this matter must be left to the leader Thiessen to handle it in the end.

Thiessen, whose life is tied up by the 'dog leash' of the family contract, will do his best to support the interests of Dragon Nest in order to survive. ——If he was truly noble and not afraid of death, he would not have surrendered to the evil dragon. Now that he has surrendered and become a dog in the dragon's nest, he will naturally bark to fight off the enemy for the sake of the dragon's nest.

The first thing that leader Thiessen did after leading the adventurers out of the mountain stream dragon's nest was to pick up their families from scattered places and place them in the mountain stream dragon's nest.

The whole process took several months. The parents, lovers, children, and even close relatives of the twenty-odd adventurers were all brought back as long as they could be found.

Although the adventurers had some objections to this, they finally compromised.

Because their leader, Thiessen, was the first to take his lover and children back to the dragon's nest. In addition, Thiessen instilled in them that by staying in the dragon's nest, they can gain the power of the dragon's veins, and their wives can live as long as With growth, the child's future will be even brighter.

However, not all adventurers have families and parents. There are still a few helpless orphan adventurers among the adventurers, but in the subsequent organized adventures of hunting monsters, they all An unexpected death.

As the leader of the group, Thiessen expressed regret for this, and spent several days in a halfling style shop before regaining his composure.

In addition to the Wolf Adventure Group, another thing happened.

About the forest elves.

Previously, according to Oudi's request, Shiji led a group of dragon-born maids to the elven territory for communication, hoping to achieve the purpose of cooperation.

And the result... was a failure. These forest elves angrily refused to cooperate, and stated that it was absolutely impossible to cooperate with the evil black dragon relatives.

Even though Shiji had worked hard for a long time and used various methods to show that they were different from ordinary black dragons and could live in harmony, these forest elves were very stubborn and would not let Shiji and his Dragonborn No matter what the maid said, she refused to cooperate.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the dragonborn maids were really good-looking, these elves might have violently driven Shiji and the others away.

Regarding this result, after Wu Di learned about it, although he was a little regretful, he could not be called too disappointed.

He originally asked Shi Ji and others to give it a try, and if they could do it, they would be rejected.

"There are countless races that are naturally more powerful than humans, but why can humans become one of the overlords of the star realm?"

The answer is very complicated, but the choice of the forest elf at this moment should be one of the reasons.

Powerful races have more or less racial natures that are difficult to change, such as the kindness of forest elves, the evilness of five-color dragons, the stubbornness of halflings, etc., and these natures 'frame' them.

The cooperation proposed by Dragon Nest this time is actually mutually beneficial for both parties. Unfortunately, due to their inherent camp bias and racial nature, the forest elves did not consider whether they would lose profits or gain more by making this choice. For them, if it doesn't work, it won't work. As long as it doesn't involve the survival of the race, this nature is probably difficult to change.

Humans are different. Humans can have all the natures of almost all races, such as kindness, stubbornness, greed, evil, neutrality, cunning, madness, and indifference. Each nature has a considerable proportion, or they can simply change their own style of doing things according to circumstances. .

Time passes slowly. For long-lived creatures, time is very worthless.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the past three years, the forces in the surrounding area have undergone considerable changes.

The southern part of the Dark Forest was in chaos for several years under the mission of hunting centaurs issued by the Kingdom and the Principality. In the end, all three were defeated.

On the Centaur side, the population dropped sharply by more than 10,000, of which more than half were Centaur women and children.

The two countries and the adventurers gathered from other countries also suffered heavy casualties. The number of casualties that can be counted is as many as two to three thousand.

Looking at the ratio between the two sides, there seems to be a big gap, but most of the adventurers who dare to come to the Dark Forest to get involved are those with one or two abilities. Among them, third- and fourth-level adventurers account for the vast majority, and there are many intermediate professionals. There must be hundreds of them, and there are also many high-level professional adventurers.

Even if this power is placed in a kingdom with huge overall strength, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

As more and more adventurers died in the dark forest, many well-known intermediate professionals and even high-level professionals died. In addition, the centaurs became increasingly skilled in defense and familiar with the dark forest environment. , the difficulty of killing another centaur has increased several times, and the dangers they bear are also higher. These adventurers, who are like hyenas sniffing the money gathered here, suddenly want to quit.

Even though the kingdom and principality once again increased the bounty on centaur heads, more and more adventurers still left here. ——Besides this reason, the most important thing is that the number of monsters and beasts in the southern part of the Dark Forest has dropped sharply. They are also one of the three losers this time.

The wilderness noble territory, which prospered due to the arrival of a large number of adventurers, gradually returned to its normal development trajectory with the loss of adventurers. The nobles hated and regretted this. They hated that this group of hyena adventurers had retreated, and it was a pity that their money bags were much less profitable.

In the past few years, the money bags of the wasteland nobles have almost swelled. It is no exaggeration to say that they are extremely rich. The adventurers worked hard to hunt monsters and centaurs, and in the end most of the profits went into the pockets of the nobles. Drinks, charming streets, equipment damage, enchantments, treatments, etc. are all things that adventurers cannot avoid.

At the same time, a very influential event also occurred in the Ryan Empire in the central region of the continent - a group of evil mages in red robes appeared out of nowhere and attacked more than a dozen people in the southern part of the empire overnight. city, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties. Then they established a force with these dozen cities as the core and the surrounding villages and towns as the periphery, calling themselves the 'Red Robe Mage Association'.

Facing this group of evil red-robed mages, the Empire was furious and sent out the Empire's Guardian Knights and Palace Mages overnight to annihilate them.

And the result...the empire was defeated!

There's a power outage, and I'm working on repairs right now. I'll write the next chapter when I get a call.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you all a happy holiday in advance.
