    Chapter 112 Warlock and Mage, which one is better?

    "It would be great if I could also learn that guy's 'Mage Armor' spell," Isabel sighed slightly in her heart, "that would be much more convenient. Having said that, the synchronic secret technique taught to me by Teacher Sylvia is not the same.  Know how effective it really is.¡±

    Because of their advocating freedom by nature, the number of warlocks who voluntarily join the Archmage Tower of Dravel and are indirectly subject to a certain degree of organizational management is quite rare.  After all, those resources that mages crave are unlikely to be of any critical help to the advancement of warlocks.  Therefore, they are more inclined to travel and adventure alone on the continent, refining their bloodline and improving their abilities amidst life and death crises one after another.

    It is well known within the Archmage's Tower that young apprentices and mages secretly envy and envy their fellow sorcerers.  In their view, the warlocks are just wealthy descendants who have inherited the glory of their ancestors. These guys don't need to study hard or conduct any arcane experiments, but ironically they can easily master it in a short time.  They need to spend a lot of time, energy and even risk their lives to obtain power.

    This is not because they are belittling themselves. According to the historical records of the Archmage Tower, the average age of known warlocks when they are promoted to the formal magician and mentor classes is indeed much lower than that of their mage peers.  Being a descendant of a powerful source of magic, the saying "magic runs in a warlock's veins" is no joke.  Even with the same level of strength, the amount of magic a warlock can use every day is far more than that of a mage.

    However, few people know that there is a small group of warlocks who are actually envious of mages who are not restricted by blood in their bodies.

    Although it is not shown in the relatively weak early stage, after the mentor level, there is an extremely clear contrast between the advantages and disadvantages of the blood in the warlocks' bodies.  Abnormal bloodline, purgatory bloodline, celestial bloodline, dragon bloodline a wide variety of magic sources cannot be completely equal in all aspects.  Even if they are both of the Abyss bloodline, the bloodline from the Balor Fire Demon is undoubtedly much stronger than the bloodline from the Succubus in terms of growth potential.  In general, the power limit of the ancient ancestors who left behind this bit of blood during their most powerful period also restricted the warlocks who were their descendants to a great extent.

    In the history of the kingdom, there are really only a handful of sorcerers who can forcibly cross this invisible barrier with their fragile human bodies.  Therefore, the number of people who can successfully be promoted to great warlocks has suddenly decreased compared to the number of warlock mentors.

    Of course, even if they know this, most people probably won¡¯t take it too seriously.  After all, for ordinary magicians, archmages and archwarlocks (powerful men who can be honored with the prefix "arch") are too far away for them. They can be successfully promoted to mentors.  It is the dream of most people.

    Therefore, the only thing that can allow mages to regain confidence from warlocks is another major limitation brought by magic blood.

    That is the specific magic that bloodline inheritors can master!

    A long time ago, whether it was humans or other alien warlocks, the mysterious power they unearthed by stimulating ancient bloodlines was completely uncontrollable.  Even if they inherit the same bloodline, different warlocks usually obtain different magic after each flash of spiritual light.  Although in theory, these magics must be part of the magical abilities of their common ancestors.

    Such unpredictability may not be a big deal to non-human creatures, but it is quite troublesome to human warlocks who often need to face different situations.  After all, no one wants to have bad luck and all the spells they can use are defensive or auxiliary, right?

    In order to make up for this shortcoming, a group of powerful warlocks in Dravel at that time gave up their lives as idle clouds and wild cranes and voluntarily joined the Archmage Tower.  Through long-term cooperative research with numerous archmages, this group of people finally achieved certain results after spending countless precious resources, which was the secret technique of synchronization that was gradually passed down.

    The so-called secret technique of synchronization is actually very simple, but it is easier to know than to practice.  Through simple magic circles and rituals, existing magic items are used, and external forces are used to stimulate the blood in the warlock's body, so as to achieve the effect of comprehending specific target spells.  For example, if a warlock hopes that the next spell he can master is "Fireball", then he first needs to make sure that he has the ability to master this level of spell, and then use the fireball spell in the ritual through the occult - whether using  A scroll or a wand can be used to allow the magic wave generated when the fireball technique is formed to resonate with the blood in the body.  In this case, there will be some possibility that the magic factor of demand will emerge from countless recessive genes first and achieve the established level.???target.

    Of course, since this secret technique can be widely spread instead of being used as a negotiation tool by senior officials to win over more warlocks, it is naturally because it itself is not perfect.

    First of all, the ritual requires the consumption of a large number of expensive magic items, but it cannot guarantee a high success rate.  According to past experimental records of magicians, we can only draw an embarrassing conclusion:

    The more target spell scrolls are consumed, the probability of successfully comprehending a specific spell will theoretically increase.  However, the exact amount is not fixed.  All you know is that the probability of success if the ceremony is held ten times is definitely not ten times more likely than if it is held only once.  In the same way, even if it is held extravagantly a hundred times (the Archmage Tower thanked a certain warlock in the information for this purely experimental attempt), it does not mean that the wish will be fulfilled 100%.

    Even if magicians have no concept of money, the cost of performing a hundred rituals is absolutely an astronomical figure.  The higher the level of the spell you want to comprehend, the more obvious this becomes.  Not many people would do this unless they thought too many gold coins were too much to use in exchange for an unknown possibility with enough money to buy a large number of useful magic items.  Most warlocks will not repeat the same ritual more than ten times.

    Secondly, the spells that the warlock who performs the ritual hopes to obtain are still limited by his own bloodline.  After enjoying the advantages brought by many bloodlines, warlocks will never be able to master the magical abilities that the ancient ancestors who inherited the bloodline do not have.  For example, a warlock with a fire elemental biological lineage would never be able to comprehend the cold spell "Ice Cone" even if he performed thousands of synchronization rituals.

    Therefore, in most cases, synchronic secrets are more suitable for those who are very wealthy and have a considerable degree of experimental spirit.  Most of the remaining warlocks only try it occasionally and focus more on honing the abilities they have acquired.  Unlike mages, the concept of "nothing is more valuable than more" is quite popular among warlocks.

    As for why the young Isabel cared about the effect of the synchronization ceremony, it was because she had mentioned it in a casual conversation before, and Sebastian promised her after thinking about it for a while that as long as the girl had this  If she needs it, he is willing to make enough magic items for her to consume for free.

    Isabel didn¡¯t doubt Sebastian¡¯s promise at all, but because of this, the girl, whose eyes were opened after seeing the world of magicians, knew exactly how much weight these seemingly understated words carried.  If both of them can continue on this path of magic, the cost of making these magic items will add up bit by bit, and it will be a fortune that even His Majesty the King will be jealous of.

    A touch of warmth grew in the girl's heart, but the inherent pride in her blood made her politely reject the other party's kindness.  Although this may seem a bit stupid to others, outsiders cannot understand the strong sense of pride that flows through the veins of a dragonborn at all times.  Firstly, Isabel has absolute confidence in the power of that ancient ancestor; secondly, her confidence in her own strength is probably even greater than the former.

    Since she learned dragon language, the power of blood that has been hidden in Isabel's body since she was a child surges out like a wave breaking a dam without any delay.  Leaving aside the zero-level magic tricks, the first-level spells she has learned one after another - colorful jets, magic missiles, enemy-defeating aircraft, etc., are all extremely practical combat spells, although they may not be liked by academic mages.  But it suits the girl's wishes.  In the final analysis, Isabel has never truly forgotten her dream of riding horses on the battlefield and galloping around the world, which she has dreamed of since she was a child, even with the addition of this sorcerer's identity.

    Isabel is indeed a little envious of the various spells that Sebastian has at his fingertips.  Apart from anything else, if you temporarily put on a mage armor before the battle, it will last for several hours, which is more than enough, and you can easily avoid the fatigue of wearing armor for a long time on weekdays.  Although powerful warriors like Baron Wamborn or Arati may not care about the burden brought by wearing armor all day long, for ordinary knights and Isabel, it still has an impact that cannot be ignored.  The longer the battle lasts, the more obvious this side effect will be.

    But even so, if Isabel really spent a huge amount of money to synchronize this spell, she would not be willing.  The convenience of the mage armor spell is indeed convenient. However, after combining the information and several actual experiments, Isabel found that the defense power provided by this spell is roughly the same as the scale armor worn by the guards at home, even if it is better.  At this moment, the breastplates worn by the guards named Sebastian around him were even weaker.

    Such protection is naturally sufficient against ordinary attacks, but after inheritingIsabel, who had a lot of dragon power, still looked a little fragile in her eyes.  Especially in the first actual battle in her life, after seeing Alati easily destroying the scales of her family's guards with the enchanted scimitar in her hand, the girl naturally believed that her own ability was enough to match a more powerful suit.  Excellent armor.  Even if it's not enchanted magic armor, it must at least be of the level of refined full-body plate gold armor

    After witnessing the absurd behavior of her "vassal" who spent money lavishly, the fact that she was a warlock greatly enhanced the girl's confidence.  Things that you could only dream about in your mind a while ago seem to have become within your reach in the blink of an eye.

    Gently rubbing the little mare Natasha's neck under her crotch, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Isabel's mouth.
