Chapter 46: Arcane Missile
Chapter 46: Arcane Missile
In the living room, Siebel gracefully lifted her skirt and sat on a chair covered with tiger skin, her smile brimming with joy.
"Don't worry about the price. This is the discounted rate, and only a master's apprentice is eligible for it."
Karl's lips twitched slightly.
"Yes, Master Siebel."
"And..." Siebel continued, "This money is for the master. I can only earn some tuition fees from you, and I won't complain."
"Master Siebel," Karl spoke up, "What spells can I learn?"
That was the key point.
"There aren't many spells I want to master. Including those with spell models that I haven't successfully constructed, I can teach you these few."
She pulled open a drawer and took out a piece of paper, handing it to him.
"Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
Karl took the paper.
On it was a list of spell names, including zero-circle spells and tricks, most of which he had heard of.
Now, he was no longer ignorant about the wizarding world.
Arcane Missile, Acid Spray, Frost Mist, Concealed Spikes, Poisoning, Cleansing, Quick Writing...
"Master Siebel," Karl said, his face showing confusion after reading the list.
"It seems like all the spells here require auxiliary materials for cultivation, right?"
"Most of them do," Siebel corrected him.
"The Arcane Missile doesn't need auxiliary materials, and neither do tricks."
Hmm...
There were five zero-circle spells, four of which required auxiliary materials, and without the materials, one couldn't even cast the spell.
Karl's face showed his speechlessness.
"What's that look for?" Siebel frowned.
"The spells I chose have simple spell models, making them easier to construct successfully, but their power is no less impressive."
"Just like Acid Spray, when combined with Concentrated Acid, its power is among the top in zero-circle spells."
This was true.
The Acid Spray she demonstrated could easily corrode a knight attendant into a pile of bones.
Even knights wouldn't dare to touch it lightly.
There's also Frost Mist and Poisoning, which when combined with Frost Potions and poison, can easily trap and kill knights.
Of course, one must first prepare and then hit the target.
"I understand," Karl sighed.
"It's just that I'm not a fan of complications, and it's not possible to carry potions around all the time. The key is..."
"Potions cost money."
Hearing this, Siebel couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Then you should consider that spells with auxiliary materials have simpler spell models and are easier to construct."
"As for potions, I can give you a discount."
She still hoped Karl would cultivate auxiliary spells, so that her potions would have another sales channel.
"Never mind," Karl shook his head in refusal.
"I'd rather learn the Arcane Missile."
"..." Siebel sighed.
"That's fine too."
"Actually, the Arcane Missile isn't bad either. If you can get your hands on the Minor Energy Fireball and Multi-Shot, you can form the One-Circle Spell, the Chain Fireball."
"Hmm?" Karl looked up.
"Can zero-circle spells form a one-circle spell?"
"Yes," Siebel replied matter-of-factly.
"Just like the master's Shadow Hand, Shaped Puppet, and Spirit Binding, with the purchase of a fragment of the divine domain, you can form a one-circle spell, the Magic Familiar."
"Otherwise, how many advanced mage apprentices could successfully cultivate a one-circle spell?"
"So that's how it is," Karl asked curiously.
"Then shouldn't there be a similar advancement plan for the spells you cultivate, Master Siebel?"
"This..." Siebel blinked.
"Secret!"
It seemed there was indeed such a plan.
But this kind of secret would definitely belong to the other party, and it was not something that could be revealed unless one's life was at stake.
Unless it was someone like Adolph, who had cultivated many spells and had more than one ace up his sleeve, in which case he wouldn't care about revealing secrets.
Karl then asked, "Master Siebel, do you know where I can learn the Minor Energy Fireball and Multi-Shot?"
"Master, these things are too far-fetched for you at the moment," Siebel shook her head.
"First, create your own zero-circle spell, and I don't even know where to find one."
"Maybe I can learn it in the Black Swamp."
Karl nodded.
Indeed, the zero-circle spell was still too advanced for him.
He wondered if the Flame Seal could replace the Minor Energy Fireball, and if so, he would only need the Multi-Arrow spell.
He obtained the spell model for the Arcane Missile through credit.
The prerequisites for this zero-circle spell were the books "Principles of Arcane," "Aerodynamics," and "Ballistics"...
Understanding the content of these books would make it easier to construct the spell model.
However, Karl was different from ordinary people.
He first constructed the spell model in the Inner Sea of Spirit, and then understood the books based on the operating rules of the spell.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Doing the opposite.
The two continued their conversation, and Karl purchased three portions of restorative potions for spiritual energy at a price of five gold coins each.
Of course.
This money was not on credit.
Karl was very satisfied with this visit. Although he had to pay later, he successfully obtained a zero-circle spell.
Unfortunately, he lacked sufficient spiritual energy and couldn't cultivate it for the time being.
As for the spell seal...
There was a type of meat coffin in Black City that could store the spell seal removed from the body, preserving it for seven days without decay.
He could find a buyer within seven days.
Name: Karl (Master of the Fragment of the Divine Domain)
Constitution: 0.84
Spiritual Energy: 1.47
Source: 0
Occupation: Knight Attendant, Apprentice Wizard
Without the spell seal, the effect of consuming beast meat greatly increased, reaching 0.9 soon. His spiritual energy was also steadily rising.
"Not bad!"
"The people of Black City might be strong, but my potential is greater. Time is ultimately on my side."
He picked up the broadsword beside him and gently caressed the blade. Karl paused for a moment:
"It's time for maintenance."
He took a step forward and arrived at Black City.
"Hmm?"
The dim sky remained as usual, but the eerie silence and atmosphere subconsciously tightened his heart.
The enhanced perception from practicing the Poison Wolf Breath Technique brought a sense of foreboding.
Danger!
"Swish!"
A black shadow pounced from behind.
What was that?
Karl turned and swung his sword, simultaneously activating the Lesser Force Field and retreating to the side.
"Pfft!"
The broadsword slashed at the black shadow, and the tremendous force sent it flying, revealing its appearance.
It was a wild dog with yellow fur.
No!
"Mound Wolf!"
A common creature in the underground of Black City, it lived on eating soil and could even chew through Black Stone with its sharp teeth.
"How did this thing get to the surface?"
"Whimper..."
The injured mound wolf struggled to its feet, whimpering at Karl, its body crouching and restless.
Karl took a step back, not out of fear, but to look at the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground shook, and a circular mouth with countless tiny serrated teeth burst through the earth.
The mound wolf didn't even have time to react before it was devoured by the terrifying mouth.
"Subterranean Worm!"
The worm looked similar to an earthworm but was many times larger, comparable to a truck. Its sharp teeth were not for show; it could easily chew through metal, and even knights wouldn't dare provoke such a creature.
It also lived underground, feeding on soil, Black Stone, and other creatures.
After swallowing the mound wolf, the worm's mouth twisted, 'looking' at Karl. It seemed uninterested in him, and after moving its body, it slowly sank back into the ground.
Karl held his sword, ready for battle, until he sensed the worm retreating into the distance, and only then did he frown.
"What's going on?"
Although he didn't know what had happened, he could be sure that something had occurred in Black City.
