Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 258: Elemental pond

Inside the towering tower.

The sorceress Andrina, dressed in a soft silk robe, sat on a chair and flipped through books. She lowered her head slightly, causing the waterfall-like blue silk to be scattered on both sides of her delicate cheeks, revealing a pair of expressions from the gaps in her hair. Focused bright eyes.

If you look closely, you can even see the pale golden radiance in the eyes. These are all special abilities obtained by gradually digging out the mystery of the dragon bloodline through the bloodline transformation ceremony.

At this time, the place she was in was a library full of books. All kinds of books were neatly placed on the bookshelf behind the sorceress, and they were carefully classified one by one.

The oil paintings and scattered decorations in the room that were full of solemnity and years of precipitation have been cleaned up by her, and replaced by a few bunches of blooming green potted plants on the ground and a few violets blooming in vases placed on the desk.

There is also a portrait on the dark cyan marble wall of a long-bearded, white-haired human dressed in exquisite ornate armor and carrying a snow-wood atyn.

This is the material incarnation of Ogma, the **** of knowledge. Although Andrina is not a devout follower of the **** of knowledge, she knows that knowledge is everything, so she thinks that a portrait of the **** of knowledge should be hung in the library. It can make her feel more calm when reading books, although she also understands that this is only a psychological suggestion.

Just like her compatriots from other worlds have known that they cannot return to the original world, but some people always like to recall the bits and pieces of their past lives, because this will give them an inexplicable sense of comfort.

"Do you really want to be a wizard?"

The sorceress Andrina put down the book "Traveling in the Plane" in her hand, stretched her waist, leaned all the graceful curves on the chair, and looked at the magic lamp on the ceiling that had been permanently illuminated.

Under the soft pale white light, the long hair that was scattered like a waterfall shone with a silky soft luster. However, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, which were covered by a few strands of hair.

She didn't know why, but she was eager to take up this profession, but at a critical moment, she suddenly seemed hesitant.

Wizards are a group of people who learn magic by studying and studying hard. They spend countless days and nights in boring magic research. They meditate in the tower. the power of the law.

For wizards, magic is not a talent, but a skill learned through hard work.

Warlocks are just the opposite, just like birds don't need to understand aerodynamics to fly, because flying is their innate talent.

If flying birds are like warlocks, then those who study aerodynamics and try to take to the skies are wizards.

This is the main reason why she chose the profession of warlock in the first place, because she thinks it is just an insignificant game, and she is just to experience a different joy in life.

"Do you really want to be a house girl in the tower?" Andrina muttered softly, lying lazily on the table, holding her cheeks in her hands, staring blankly at the book "The Position" she had just finished reading. Books of Travel Notes:

"The Goblin Wilderness is a place of softness and whimsy, music and death. The Seventh Heavenly Mountain Plane is a model of justice and order, God's grace and endless benevolence, a place where travelers can let go A plane of vigilance. Elysium is the house of infinite benevolence, a sanctuary for travelers of all planes, and the idyllic landscape of this plane is said to shone with life and beauty most of the time.

The endless wilderness of the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, the mechanical realm of the nirvana of clocks and clocks of the absolutely neutral camp, the Olympian woodlands of the unrestrained wild, the Joseph Garden composed of countless heroes... There are even untouched places in the depths of the multiverse. "

"I don't know if I can personally travel to these magical outer planes in my lifetime." Andrina sighed involuntarily, retracted her dazed gaze, closed the book "Journey to Planes", stood up and put it in the deepest part of the bookshelf place.

Then she sat on the chair and glanced at a sketch album on the table, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help evoking a smile. Then she called up the system panel and stared at the light blue data like code, her expression was slightly solemn. a few points.

Qualifications for being a wizard:

Knowledge (mystery) 15, document analysis 5, spell identification 5, intelligence attribute 16 points or more.

All the above conditions have been met!

"Ding!"

Inaugural Wizard Success!

...

As a warlock, Andrina's profession does not have any conflict with the wizard profession, and the skill conditions of these inaugural wizards highly overlap with her warlock profession, so part-time wizards are a natural fit for her.

Otherwise, she just raised the skill of "Mysterious Knowledge" to more than 15 points. Without the blessing of any upgrade skill points, it would take her nearly half a year to just rely on reading knowledge books.

In a quiet study.

Andrina slowly closed her eyes and began to sense the energy of the magic net to establish a connection with it.

The Ley Web is an invisible being, an energy field that pervades many parts of the Multiverse.

Its biggest role is to help spellcasters build spell models, and then condense the power that exists in nature, and finally form spells and store them. Spell energy to cast spells.

Although the magic net can help some spellcasters with insufficient talent to cast spells more easily, it also limits the powerful abilities of spellcasters.

But in any case, the effect of the magic net is still more beneficial than the disadvantage, because without its existence, the number of spellcasters in the entire world will be reduced by about 90%.

However, there is a spellcaster profession that can cast spells spontaneously without the need for a magic net, that is: Arcanist!

If the magic net is likened to a wireless local area network, then the wizards are the people who rely on the wireless local area network to access the Internet, but the speed of the Internet and the opening and closing of the network are completely beyond their grasp. When the local area network collapses, these people will be lost in an instant. ability to access the Internet.

That's why in times of great chaos or cataclysm that affects the entire multiverse, the **** of magic who controls the Weave is always the first to be sacrificed.

This is like a modern war. The priority target of both sides is the enemy's network facilities. When the entire network facilities of the enemy are paralyzed, it is difficult for those satellites, drones, stealth reconnaissance aircraft, spies or special forces that rely on the network to play a role. should function.

Arcanists are a group of people who rely on their own ability to build their own small network. Although the cost of this kind of cost is huge, and the network speed in the early stage can be described as appalling, when this private network grows up, it will be completely their own, whether it is Whether it's fast or slow, or close and open, it's all in your hands.

This is also the reason why Andrina always wanted to become a part-time arcanist, but she wanted to be an arcanist, without the guidance of a mentor and a strong talent, and she wanted to succeed with just one book. Difficult to reach the sky.

Therefore, in order to make the wizard tower develop rapidly, she can only choose to take up the inaugural wizard temporarily, and when her strength allows, she can use the wizard profession to advance to an arcanist.

After Andrina successfully connected to the magic net, she stopped meditating. She pondered for a moment, then took out a spell book and gently opened it, intending to use mental power to analyze the model structure of the spell.

The first-ring illusion spell "Colorful Jet" and the first-ring conjuration spell "Grease" will be the first spells she needs to learn.

"Colorful Jet" can make her cast a dazzling ray of light, and creatures hit within a certain range will be randomly stunned, dazzled, and stunned according to Fortitude checks.

The "Grease Technique" is to summon a layer of smooth and flammable grease, any creature walking on it, if its own balance is not maintained well, it will cause a fall.

Obviously, these two are control spells. As a dragon warlock advanced by a warlock, the spells that cause her to randomly awaken are not so reasonable, and they are almost all composed of attack spells of the energy system.

But as a professional spellcaster, they are always the first to ensure their own safety, so they will have at least one-third functional spells, one-third protection spells, and finally attack spells.

Therefore, for her, since she has been a part-time wizard, the first spell that she needs to master is what she lacks the most.

Andrina looked at the heavy spell book, frowning slightly. Although it was only a spell, there were more than twenty pages of spell models and spells recorded on it.

That's the main reason why she didn't choose a wizard in the first place. A first-level spell, hundreds of spell nodes, and dozens of spell circuits, all must be clearly remembered in the mind. If it is calculated like this, if you want to master a spell, I am afraid it will take at least a month.

"It's no wonder that there are so few wizards, fewer choose to venture out, and even fewer players." Andrina looked at the spell book, sighed slightly, and immediately began to prepare memory spells.

Half a day passed quickly. When Andrina opened her eyes and closed the spell book, her face was slightly pale and her expression was extremely tired.

"How did it feel to learn spells for the first time?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

She looked up subconsciously and saw a faint smile on her pale pretty face when she saw the person who did not surprise her appear in front of her.

Although this tower hidden deep in the upper city seems to be relatively safe, it does not mean that she will not take any defensive measures.

She imposed simple restrictions on the topmost floors of the tower, private rooms, meditation rooms, and libraries. If you want to enter and leave these rooms at will, if you do not have permission to forcibly enter, you will trigger a spell attack.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so comfortable sitting in the library analyzing spells.

In the entire tower, in addition to her own authority, the other person is the half-elf ranger Thorne who has already walked in before her.

"It's a bit difficult, I feel dizzy and groggy." Andrina rubbed her head, with a coquettish tone in her tone: "Thorn, make me a cup of coffee."

"Coffee?" Thorne, who was wandering beside the bookshelf, looked stunned for a moment, looking at the coffee powder on the table, his footsteps felt heavy and hard to move, he looked at Andrina embarrassedly: "...I didn't rush Coffee, how do you brew this? What do you need to pay attention to?"

Looking at the ranger with a cute facial expression, Andrina instantly lost her appetite for coffee, but lay on the table, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at him and muttering, "I was overusing my brain just now, a little bit. tired."

"Then you go to rest early." Thorne continued to focus on the books on the bookshelf. Tomorrow he was going to take people to explore the lost holy city of the Dragonborn race, so he came here temporarily to find some books that recorded the history of the Dragonborn.

"Then if I said it was a little cold, wouldn't you say let me wear more clothes?" Andrina said angrily, looking at Thorne's back rummaging through the books.

"Yes..." Before Thorne finished speaking, he immediately realized the inappropriateness of his words and quickly corrected: "How is that possible."

After he finished speaking, he walked behind Anders Lena, gently brushed away the messy hair, rubbed the temples on both sides of her forehead, and saw her closed eyes enjoying the look, only then did she bend over and put her head close to hers. On his shoulders, he asked with a smile, "How is it, how do you feel?"

"It's almost the same, come and sit here." Seeing such an up-to-date ranger, Andrina, who was leaning on the chair, gave him a gentle smile, moved her body, and motioned to sit next to her.

Thorne stared at the gentle woman in front of him. Although she was wearing a slightly loose silk robe, her delicate and delicate body was still looming in front of his eyes, causing his calm heart to start to ripple.

So he smiled and sat directly beside her.

Andrina leaned meekly into Thorne's arms, arched like a kitten in his arms, and moved into a more comfortable position.

Then he put his head on Thorne's chest, and said in a delicate tone: "It turns out that the wizard's spells are so difficult to learn, if you don't need practice points to learn a first-level spell, I estimate that it will take at least a month. Long."

Thorne sniffed Andrina's intoxicating fragrance, wrapped one arm around her slender waist, and stroked her cat-like back with the other, smiled and comforted softly:

"The reason why it is difficult to learn is mainly because you are not proficient yet. Take your time and don't be impatient. After you have laid the foundation, the rest is technical stuff."

Andrina, who was about to speak, suddenly felt that Thorne's palm was slowly sliding towards her chest, and her cheeks immediately flushed with blush, and then patted him, slightly shyly said softly, "Take care of you. The salty pig's hand, don't touch it."

"..." Thorne looked embarrassed, and his hands immediately became orderly.

He held Andrina in his arms for a while.

Andrina, who was a little short of breath, seemed to remember something, so she raised her head and looked at him, wondering: "Aren't you helping Miss Marvasa to build an elemental pool? Why did you come here?"

"Kuteg is there, I can't help, so I came here to find information about the dragonborn race." Thorne looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms and said with a smile.

"Oh..." Andrina replied with a little disappointment, her expression fluctuated, and then said: "Thorn, I want to see how Malvasa built the element pool."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Thorne took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and replied.

…………

The basement of the tower.

Thorne led Andrina into the basement of the tower.

At this time, what appeared in front of the two of them was a square pool with a width of about 100 square meters, which was paved with dark blue marble.

According to the goblin wizard Malvasia, this location was built because it happened to be the main road of the Leyline Node.

Obviously, it was the original high-level wizard Evandel who discovered this position, and they just continued on the original basis.

The basic outline of the element pool has been constructed. Now the goblin wizard is using the 100 kilograms of silver sent by Anderina, with the assistance of the orc sword saint Kutaig, to melt it into liquid and lay it all inside the element pool. every corner.

"Okay, you can go up." After all the silver was laid, Malvasa, who was floating in mid-air on the floating saucer, explained to Kutaig.

When the orc swordsman heard the words, he immediately jumped up from the element pool. When he noticed the figures of Thorne, he bowed respectfully and stood behind Thorne.

"Little Ranger, you came just in time to save me from looking for you." Malvasa noticed Thorne's figure and said, "Come and help me melt all the 50 kilograms of gold into liquid, I will use the gold to engrave Elemental array."

"No problem." Thorne nodded and walked to the element pool covered with silver light.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Flame of Young Dragon!”

With a thought of Thorne, a conical flame burst out from the blade, and the beating dark red flame burned in the utensil holding the gold coins.

- "Zero Ring Trick: The Hand of the Mage!"

Noticing the gradually melting gold coins, Malvasia's pale red eyes narrowed, and a small silver-white carving knife floated in the air from her palm.

Then, under the control of her mind, the small silver-white carving knife absorbed the gold that had turned into liquid, and immediately engraved golden mysterious runes in the elemental pool shimmering with silver light.

This lasted for nearly five hours. When all the gold melted into liquid was consumed, Malvasia also finished engraving the last rune of the elemental circle.

Immediately afterwards, four flickering: green, yellow, blue, and red, four high-concentration element spar representing wind, earth, water, and fire, respectively, were submerged into the elements under the control of Malvasia's "Hand of the Mage". The center of the circle of silver and golden light flickers on all sides of the pool.

When the four elemental spar submerged, Malvasia, who was floating above the elemental pool, immediately appeared beside the three of them.

Then the golden runes in the element pool flickered at the same time, and the four inlaid element spar, driven by the magic circle, emitted energy of four different colors and slowly converged towards the center of the element pool, forming a liquid elemental energy , with a 'tick' sound, falling into the surface of the pool in the form of water.

"The element pool has been completed initially. The rest is to use the energy of the element pool to slowly warm the magic bricks of the entire tower until it is full of magic, and then you can set up various magic devices in the tower." Malvasia glanced at Anderina with a tired look, and said in a weak tone.

"Miss Malvasia, you've worked hard." Andrina looked at the energy that was gathering in the pool, looked at the goblin wizard respectfully, and thanked her sincerely.

"You're welcome, if your brain can be as efficient as your money, I will be more relieved. Unfortunately, there is no such perfect thing in the world, it is not too difficult for a Bai Fumei to use her brain to be a scholar. She's gone." Malvasia waved her hand weakly and sighed.

"..." Andrina glanced at the goblin wizard helplessly, pulled La Thorne's arm, and signaled him not to be angry with her eyes.

"And you little ranger, I've worked so hard to help your little girlfriend, but you're quietly digging my corners behind my back. It's not interesting." Then, the goblin wizard Malvasia looked at the orc again. Juggernaut glanced at Thorne, showing two cute little fangs, and joked with a smile.

"Miss Malvasia, I don't care about Mr. Thorne's business, I am determined to stay here." The orc swordsman took a step forward and explained to her with a serious face.

"Don't you see that I'm joking with him? What a jerk." Malvasa glared at him with pale red eyes, and then fixed her gaze on Thorne: "Go to the lost dragonborn race tomorrow. Holy City, leave a spot for me too."

After saying that, he walked out on his own.
