Chapter 45: The Fragment of the Divine Domain
Chapter 45: The Fragment of the Divine Domain
Upon returning here, absolute rationality instantly took the lead.
The surprise of obtaining exotic beast meat and the anticipation for future growth all turned into light clouds on his face.
Putting down the chest with the exotic beast meat and artifacts, Karl rolled up his sleeves and examined the Flame Seal on his arm.
Through the spells he cast and the insights he gained during this period, he had the confidence to engrave the Flame Seal spell model.
Since it is so...
"Then let's give it a try!"
Sitting on his knees, he silently immersed himself in deep-sea meditation, his consciousness sinking into the Innerseaofspirit and beganconstructingthespellmodel.
The FlameSeal spell model, though far from being as complex as a LesserForceField.
With two previous spell models already constructed, this one went smoothly, and he succeeded within two days.
At thismoment, Karl had three zero-circle spell models in his inner sea of spirit.
LesserForceField!
FlameSeal!
LightSpell! Two zero-ring spells, one trick.
Next, he only needed to construct another zero-circle spell to advance to the rank of an intermediate mage apprentice.
"Constructing a spell model, though it consumes mental energy, it acts like ballast in the inner sea of spirit, making the mental energy more concentrated and making it easier to enter the inner sea of spirit during meditation."
"Even..."
"Accelerating cultivation speed."
Karl silently sensed the changes in his inner sea of spirit, deep in thought.
"No wonder the realm of a mage apprentice is divided according to the number of constructed spells. Given the current situation, constructing three zero-circle spells significantly boosts mental energy."
"Once possessing three zero-circle spells, even without meditating, the mental energy would slowly increase over time."
Name: Karl (Lord of the Fragment of the Divine Domain)
Constitution: 0.82
Mental energy: 1.45
Essence: 0
Profession: Knight Attendant, primary mage apprentice
Constructing a LesserForceField consumes 0.7 mental energy; constructing a Flame seal consumes nearly 0.5.
Adding the 0.1 for the Light spell.
In other words, Karl's 1.4 mental energy was almost entirely occupied by these spells.
Fortunately, the FlameSeal and the spell force field overlap, otherwise, he might not have enough mental energy to construct them.
"The spellmodel, though it occupies mental energy, it doesn't have much of an effect."
"Actually, it aids in enhancing mental energy."
"However..."
Karl's eyes flickered:
"Once activated, it would rapidly consume mental energy, and I currently don't have enough remaining mental energy to spare."
"Then, wouldn't it be useless?"
"That's not right!"
He gently shook his head.
"This situation should be quite common among mage apprentices. How do others solve it?"
When in doubt, ask the senior.
When Karl arrived at the city outskirts' manor, Siebel was helping Kayslyn clear weeds in the garden. The two women were like beauties stepping out of an oil painting, every move a landscape.
"Lady, senior."
Karl offered gifts:
"May the Deities bless my friend, have a happy Divine birthday!"
He prepared a hat for Kayslyn, made of high-quality silk, skillfully tailored and sewn, with a border ofwhite feathers and a gem in the center, both noble and elegant.
The gift for Siebel was a bottle of wine.
Sie bel didn't drink, but she believed winemaking was similar to potion formulation, and good wine was worth treasuring.
"Thank you."
Kayslyn smiled and accepted it, clearly very satisfied, then laughed:
"Though the gift is a bit late."
"Yes,"
Siebel nodded, "The Divine birthday was long over."
"The gift's value lies in the thought, not the timing." They were just joking. Karl naturally wouldn't be serious and instead asked:
"Senior, can I switch a zero-circle spell?"
He planned to use this as an excuse to see if he could learn a spell from the other.
"Know the difficulty?" Siebel shook her head:
"I've told you before, a LesserForceField is one of the harder zero-circle spells and not suitable for anentry-level spell."
(End of chapter )
"Hmm..."
"How's the progress with the Light Spell?"
"It's done." Karl extended his hand and snapped his fingers, and a faint light appeared at his fingertips.
"Amazing!" Katherine exclaimed beside him.
"It's a pity I don't have that talent."
She was surrounded by apprentice wizards, but alas, she lacked the talent herself, and every time she witnessed such feats, she couldn't help but sigh.
However, after seeing it so many times, she had become accustomed to it.
"Not bad."
Siebel, on the other hand, was a little surprised.
"The trick spell model isn't that difficult, but you have a Level 4 talent, which is already considered fast."
If she knew that Karl had not only constructed the trick light spell but had also mastered two zero-circle spells, she might be shocked enough to drop her jaw.
"The master said that as long as you construct a spell model, whether it's a zero-circle spell or not, you can officially become his apprentice. But there's one troublesome matter now."
Siebel shrugged:
"The master isn't home."
"He hasn't returned yet?" Karl frowned.
"How long has it been since he left?"
Siebel called Adolph 'master', while Karl could only address him as 'teacher'. This difference in titles represented the distinction between being an official apprentice or not.
Only by officially becoming an apprentice could one learn new spells from Adolph.
Of course,
It would cost money.
"Now that you've truly entered the world of wizards, I can tell you without reservation." Siebel spoke up:
"Grey Robe Wizard Addison is joining forces with two other official wizards to establish a wizard camp in the Black Swamp."
"The master is one of the invited participants."
"Huh?" Karl was taken aback.
"What does that mean?"
"It means..." Siebel explained:
"There's a high possibility that the master won't be returning, and we will most likely move there and settle in the Black Swamp."
"To be honest, I'm quite excited."
"The Black Swamp is abundant in various spell materials, and there are many apprentice wizards to interact with, making it more convenient to learn spells."
"I'm not excited at all." Katherine shook her head.
"I've heard that it's either muddy or filled with miasma, and there's no nearby city, which is very unfriendly to ordinary people like me."
"Don't worry." Siebel reassured her:
"I'll be there with you, and wizards also need people to serve them. There will definitely be a city built near the Black Swamp in the future."
Karl understood.
The wizards of the Gando Kingdom were scattered across various places, and this move by Grey Robe Wizard Addison would unite them.
At that time,
Everything would be convenient.
Moreover, with so many wizards and apprentices, this force might influence certain decisions in the kingdom. In any case, there were numerous benefits.
"Karl."
Siebel waved him over:
"Come with me."
"Yes." Karl followed, taking the opportunity to ask his lingering question:
"Senior, if all spiritual energy is used to construct a spell model, won't there be insufficient energy left for casting spells after activation?"
"Use potions!" Siebel replied matter-of-factly:
"Some potions can restore and increase spiritual energy within a short time. After taking them, you won't have to worry about running out of spiritual energy."
Karl was speechless.
He hadn't thought it would be so simple.
But that was normal; wizards were different from knights, relying more on external aids like potions and enchanted items.
"These are all basic common knowledge in the wizarding world. You only feel uncertain because you've never encountered them before."
Siebel continued:
"I'll inform the master about your success in constructing the light spell. As for the spells... if you can't wait, you might have to choose from what I know."
"The number of spells I know is far less than the master's."
"No problem." Karl's heart leaped with joy:
"As long as I can learn new spells."
"Also..." Siebel gestured with the universal hand signal:
"Each zero-circle spell costs one hundred gold coins. You can temporarily put it on credit and repay me later by refining potions."
One hundred gold coins?
The smile on Karl's face froze.
