Chapter 127 Mysterious Spell Pool, Higher Level Energy
¡° Nine sentences of truth mixed with one lie is an advanced technique commonly used by experts who are proficient in the art of language. This kind of deliberately mixed truth and falsehood is the most difficult to distinguish, and the master of the tower is not arrogant enough to use the magic of detecting thoughts when seeing people. After all, this is the Archmage Tower. In the general direction, magicians are companions with each other. Some may regard each other as competitors, but they are by no means life-or-death enemies who need to use all means. Well at least not when inside the Archmage's Tower.
¡° Adding arcane focus to the psicrystal¡¯s spells seems to be much simpler than making magic items, or it may just be because the Lord of the Tower has done this task repeatedly and is already familiar with it. With the runes he drew lightly, the ubiquitous and surging arcane energy in the Archmage Tower formed a complex and stable structure in the blink of an eye, and the spell took effect in the blink of an eye.
Feeling every breath and every rhythm of the magic around him, Sebastian's heartbeat accelerated almost involuntarily. He has been keenly aware that the existence of the master of the magic tower in front of him is obviously inextricably and inseparably mysteriously connected with the magic pool itself. This connection made him unable to determine what level the other party's true strength had reached. It was completely different from that of Mentor Yage and even Archmage Antonio who had separated not long ago. Those two people and even the other higher-ups of the Tower had always only had the authority to borrow the energy from the spell pool, but the Lord of the Tower was unique.
Sebastian suddenly had a feeling, as if the person in front of him was not a flesh-and-blood human being, but just the embodiment of the spell pool. And his feelings are usually accurate
Of course, only spellcasters with keen senses can detect the abnormal phenomena occurring in the room at this moment. In the eyes of ordinary people, this process does not have any expected exaggerated sensory effects, no blooming light, no strange sounds, no intoxicating fragrance. The crystal in the palm of the Tower Master simply vibrates slightly. After a while, it was all over.
The spiritual crystal servant slowly floated up and floated back to Sebastian's open hands.
"You are lucky, the magic is working normally." The Lord of the Tower smiled lightly and said, "Now, you can try it and see if you can connect to the spell pool."
With his consciousness immersed in the spiritual crystal servant in his hand, Sebastian felt the strong presence of the spell pool almost instantly with the "key" in his hand - the arcane focus was already related to the owner. The one-to-one exclusive relationship allows for easy control, and the fact that the psicrystal servants are essentially part of the manifester in a sense makes this attempt even easier than controlling the public floating saucer of the Archmage Tower.
Completely different from the literal meaning, the spell pool itself is not a real "pool", but an indescribable and indescribable existence. Time and space, which should be everywhere, seem to be vaguely excluded by it. If you want to describe it more accurately, it is more like a ball of extremely condensed and compressed energy. Its main body is blurry and covered by countless magic arrays, and the arcane focus in Sebastian's hand matches one of the magic arrays. Thousands of tentacle-like energy filaments bend and extend around its periphery, piercing the distant space and connecting to various unknown targets. If expected, the other ends of these energy threads are other users.
Controlling the focus to connect to the magic circle, Sebastian transmitted his thoughts to the mysterious energy body, and soon the spell pool responded. A slender energy thread stretched out from the spell pool and strangely connected to the arcane focus. Without warning, a mysterious energy invaded Sebastian's spell space in the blink of an eye, quickly forming a somewhat unfamiliar spell structure.
Yes, this is the spell that Sebastian just applied to the spell pool - Blink, a three-dimensional spell that allows the caster to "blink" back and forth between the main material plane and the etheric plane in a short period of time to avoid attacks. A level spell, a spell that he has not yet fully analyzed and cannot use for the time being.
The summoning of the spell was undoubtedly successful, but Sebastian's heart felt cold at the moment.
Unlike those young magicians who grew up under the protection of the supreme authority of the Grand Mage Tower, as a traveler who has traveled through countless planes and traveled through countless worlds, Sebastian does not lack experience in actual combat. . Although this fragile body cannot keep up with the speed of his thinking, which greatly limits the abilities he can exert, his soul is always the soul of a legendary great arcanist, and this will not change.
After integrating the mysterious psychic powers, Sebastian even thought that if other aspects were put asideIn terms of the intensity of his mental power alone, he is actually at the pinnacle since his birth. After all, although mages also need a certain amount of mental power, they only serve as a catalyst to dexterously draw the arcane energy needed. They do not simply use mental power like manifesters. To forcibly change local reality to achieve magical effects.
Although the process of communicating with the spell pool to summon spells is purely spiritual, it does not break away from the timeline. For a knowledgeable person like Sebastian, these few seconds are enough for him to figure out the basic working principle of the spell pool. After a slight hesitation, when the energy thread connected to the arcane focus in his hand, Sebastian still chose to activate the spell, intending to resist the unknown power.
For magicians, the spell space can be said to be privacy second only to life. No magician with a right mind would be willing to reveal his trump card easily. Although it is not certain whether the mysterious spell pool really has its own consciousness, the sight of the Master of the Tower who has an inexplicable connection with the spell pool is enough for Sebastian to make such a decision. . He doesn't want to expose his mental power that is far beyond ordinary people yet. Although he knows that he can become extremely powerful in the near future, he also needs time to grow. However, that sudden mysterious energy gave the proud Sebastian a severe blow without mercy.
The defensive spells collapsed in front of this mysterious energy and failed to provide any actual resistance. Sebastian was shocked, and the sea-like silver mist in the consciousness space evaporated almost at the same time as the spell was broken, instantly forming a solid mental barrier to firmly protect the spell space. This time, when the mysterious energy broke through the spiritual barrier, it finally paused for a moment, but only for a moment. The performance of psychic powers is not much more effective than spells. Technical defense is ineffective. The only option left for Sebastian is to use all his will to forcefully resist the attack of this mysterious energy. Just like when fighting against malicious charm spells from enemies.
Yes, in Sebastian's mind, the aggressive behavior of mysterious energy has long been regarded as an attack on himself. As for the fact that the cause of this energy was actually summoned by himself, he simply ignored it.
Not surprisingly, this mysterious energy broke through Sebastian's last resistance like a broken bamboo, entered the spell space, transformed into an unfamiliar spell structure, and completed its original mission.
The moment he actually came into contact with this energy, Sebastian immediately understood why his spells and psychic abilities could not effectively stop the opponent. Although the opponent does not exceed the scope of third-level spells in terms of quantity, it is obviously superior in quality! This mysterious energy that Sebastian has never been exposed to before, or even heard of, actually has such extraordinary properties. His protection against the opponent is like using paper as a shield against a sharp sword, and the result is that it will be pierced instantly.
What exactly is this energy? ! Although his facial expression remained calm, in fact, there was a turmoil deep in Sebastian's heart. Is there actually a higher level of energy in this world than arcane energy and psychic powers? Moreover, can it be used so stably?
The Lord of the Tower looked at the young magician in front of him. After a brief communication with the spell pool, he made a few gestures and recited a few spells. His body began to appear and disappear in place, flickering, obviously. Successfully used a flash technique.
"Very good, it seems that you have mastered the method of using arcane focus." The Lord of the Tower nodded and said, "I must remind you, don't forget to repay the energy you owe as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer a loss. In the end, it¡¯s you who you are.¡±
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency." Sebastian looked up at the Master of the Tower, his eyes full of admiration, "The spell pool in our Archmage Tower is so spectacular! If possible, I would really I hope I can see it up close"
The young magician's mental state has been completely adjusted at this time. Although the high-level mysterious energy made him feel extremely shocked, after a short period of direct contact with it through his mental power, he also got a feel for it. Although it is undoubtedly powerful, its energy is not completely unrivaled. Arcane energy and psychic powers may indeed be qualitatively weaker, but as long as they are in sufficient quantity, quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.
It is absolutely impossible for a shield made of a piece of paper to withstand the piercing of a sharp sword, but hundreds or thousands of them gathered together can withstand it as much as possible! The higher the level of spells, the higher the energy they contain. Even if level three spells cannot resist it, there will always be levels four, five, six, seven??The spell to do it!
After thinking about this, Sebastian's fear gradually turned into curiosity. If this mysterious energy could be obtained for research, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his long-term goals. Therefore, during the conversation, he seemed to inadvertently probe into the voice of the person opposite.
"There is a chance. As long as you can be promoted to Archmage, you will naturally get the right to go to Trasus to participate in the research of the spell pool." Perhaps it is not surprising that Sebastian's temptation did not arouse Fata. The suspicion of the Lord, "But that is too far away for you now. For now, let us discuss your mission. As long as your performance can satisfy several archmages, you can obtain the arcane piece." The Magic Power Mage Robe as a reward. Listen, your mission is"
