Chapter 0497 Jack Arrives
After 8 consecutive days of busyness, Tarenmere, a new cemetery city, was finally established.
During this period, Li Xun also showed off his rare patience and perseverance, gritted his teeth and picked up all the homework he had left behind, and finally welcomed his first spell casting expertise on the seventh day: his spell familiarity.
Proficient in spells [Special expertise]
Prerequisite: Mage Level 1
Effect: After a long period of practice, you have gained a feat of the casting class, and you can choose known spells that are equal to your intelligence adjustment value. After that, you can prepare these spells without a spell book.
Normal: If you don't have this feat, you must use a spell book to prepare all your spells, except for reading magic.
With this casting feat that any apprentice will gain when you advance to a formal mage, the feat owner can firmly mark the basic structure of the spell model in his mind after a large amount of skilled spell casting, and no longer need to use spell books to assist in future casting.
Only by gaining familiarity with the spells can one leave the heavy spell book and truly liberate the mage's hands to lay the foundation for the various magical skills behind them.
Li Xun smiled bitterly.
Things that others can get when they become a first-level mage can barely get by level 15, which makes people unable to be happy no matter how much. However, he has no time to stay here today because someone close to him is coming to Oneros City.
...
In the afternoon, the sun shines brightly on Oneros, and the weather is unprecedentedly sunny.
With the return of the tower owner and the arrival of many spell casters, this Isdir Arcane Tower once again blossomed with its due vitality. Within less than half a month surrounding the Arcane Tower, an emerging magic market has already taken shape.
Therefore, when the teleportation array in the square illuminated again, the mage apprentice Kokar was already standing respectfully on the outer edge of the teleportation array.
After a moment, the space ripples caused by the teleportation gradually disappeared in the magic array, and a young mage with a pale complexion appeared in the teleportation array.
"Is this the Lord Jack?" Kokal asked respectfully.
"I am. Are you?"
Jack took a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress the dizziness. He looked up at the mage apprentice waiting here in confusion.
"Hello, dear Master Jack. I am Master Jack apprentice Kokar, and I am ordered to wait for your arrival here. Your teacher Master Li Xun will meet you in the Master Tower!" Kokar replied with a smile on his face.
Jack leaned back slightly, looked up at the magical tower standing tall, and couldn't help but feel excited. His young face, who had just experienced a little calmness, showed an expression of excitement.
It only took half a year to separate, and the teacher had already taken down a mage tower in the mage kingdom and had a place to settle down. If it weren't for the teacher's mage mark left in the magic message returned, little Jack would not have believed it anyway.
Thinking of the surprise and ecstasy when I first received the magic message, the noisy scenes when all the familiar mages came to congratulate, and the astonishment and incredibility on the other person's face when he proposed to borrow the teleportation array of the Principal Mage Association in front of a high-level mage. Even though he was already standing at the entrance of the mage tower, an illusion and real illusion still bothered him.
Like a marionette, he entered the mage tower with the apprentice. Looking at the apprentice's robe coming and going, listening to the other party's respectful greetings, Jack woke up as if he was dreaming, and finally realized the reality of the scene in front of him.
The gentle and beautiful Princess Xilith met Little Jack in the second floor living room. The two sides had met many times in the Principal of Novis, and this time they were even more friendly. Hearing the name of "Master's Wife" by Little Jack, Xilith accepted it calmly, and briefly introduced to him the basic situation of this mage tower (arcane tower).
Just as the two were having a cordial conversation, Xilith raised her eyebrows suddenly and her face looked happy.
"Jack, your teacher is back!"
As soon as the words were finished, the void rippled beside the two, and a hazy human figure changed from shallow to deep, finally revealing the appearance of a young mage.
"Teacher!" "You are back!"
Two kind greetings made Li Xun, who had rushed back, feel warm. He nodded and greeted simply, then pulled Jack into the sofa and asked about the general situation after the breakup.
Although the Hellfire that followed little Jack could also send back some messages, unfortunately, Li Xun, who was busy all day long, had no time to browse one by one, so he listened to Jack's explanation patiently and meticulously.
Through the introduction of Jack Little, Li Xun learned that the current situation of the Principality of Northwes is not good and can be said to be difficult. No kingdom is not worried about being a notorious neighbor like the Council of the Undead.
Although there is an unattainable barrier between the Aville mountains and the strict defense of the Principal army, there is no news of the invasion of the undead, it still brings great trouble to the Principality.
The refugee wave was almost spread to the principality by the Undead Assembly, which fully proved that these damn bones really had a vicious plan to swallow Novis into their stomachs. Therefore, the Principality mobilized all its strength, and with the steepness of Thunder Fortress and the legendary wizards' position, the undead's road to the north was blocked.
Even at this moment, nearly one million tides of undead corpses were still gathered under the wall of the Thunder Fortress facing the Undead Coalition. They were blocked outside the pass for many years, like a vicious dog guarding the northern gate for the Undead Coalition.
If the Principality of Novis does not clear them in advance, it will be impossible to enter the undead occupied area.
So, the two sides were in a stalemate.
As a contract wizard of the Principality, Jack had also been stationed in Thunder Fortress for a while. His only daily leisure interest was to stand on the towering walls of Thunder Fortress with a group of low-level mages and throw fireballs at the heads of the crowded corpses. This would not only practice your spell proficiency, but also reduce the number of corpses outside the fortress bit by bit.
Every now and then, some high-level undead like vampires, ghost banshees and other people sneak into the Thunder Fortress. They often attack the periphery sentries to plunder some living people as their own blood food, so it is indeed a very dangerous thing to stand guard in such an environment.
Jack had been "fortunate" to experience several such attacks. Fortunately, he was protected by Hellfire, not only did he not get any damage, but he made some successive gains, laying a solid foundation for his promotion to level 2.
In this tug-of-war attack, both sides maintained some tacit understanding and had no intention of pushing the war to an irreversible state of war.
While squinting his eyes and listening carefully, Li Xun silently judged the movements of the Undead Parliament based on the information he obtained through other channels. Although he has left the Principality of Novis, his feelings for him are still very deep. Whether it is Casas who have been with him for a while, or the simple farmers in Dayan Village, he is the one who he cares about relatively.
Soon, Jack was led by Xilith to go to the magical residence arranged for him. After all, this place was a completely new environment, and he really needed to adapt for a while.
Li Xun intended to let Xiao Jack come forward as his disciple to coordinate the external affairs of the Arcane Tower and liberate Xilith from it. Since Xilith has been the title of a genius magic girl since childhood, there is something worthy of praise in terms of magical talent. It is undoubtedly a huge waste to tie her to the secular things that are coming and going.
Whether it is the Klein Continent or the cemetery system, it is a real world dominated by power. Only by mastering the unrivaled power of others can one ensure that one's vested interests are not infringed.
Only when an orthodox mage becomes a great mage with concentration and progress, and performs a life extension ceremony can an orthodox mage have the time and energy to expand the management of secular forces. Before this, any mage who deviates from this route will be abandoned by time.
History has proved that many great alchemist, enchanting master, and puppet master who have been short-lived in the history volume often ignore meditation, accumulation of mana, and the collection and study of knowledge due to their personal research preferences. They did not rise to level 16 before their lifespan was exhausted, and eventually fell into a race against time.
Therefore, out of her love for Xilis, Li Xun did not intend to make her the spokesperson of the cemetery in human society, but continued to live the ideal life of a wizard in her mind. Many times, Li Xun even wanted to find an opportunity to pull her into the cemetery system and could quickly climb to the level by plundering soul energy.
However, the constraints and control in the magic blood contract made Li Xun worried. For his lover, he did not want to add a slight external constraint, but kept the two of them in this state of mutual attraction. However, instead of fully incorporating her into the cemetery soul system, she intervened in the cemetery management alone by relying solely on the soul authority he gave to intervene in the cemetery management, it was always difficult to gain the deep recognition of those cemetery heroes.
If such a barrier is not resolved earlier, it may cause considerable inconvenience in the later stage.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Xun decided that after a period of training, Xilith and Little Jack both had to find an opportunity to include in the soul system of the cemetery. Although as a foreign hero, Li Xun could control their life and death and even everything through the magical blood contract, but as a relative and friend, he also secretly swore in his heart that he would never use magic power to restrict them from making independent choices.
So that night, Li Xun brought Xilis who happily agreed to the city to complete the enlightenment of foreign heroes. Unfortunately, foreign heroes like Zena, Xilis are individuals with strong and complete souls, and they can no longer instill any new soul templates into it, otherwise the two souls will inevitably conflict and backfire because of their independent consciousness.
As for Little Jack, he also drank the soul guidance without any doubt during the young mage's fooling. In his opinion, this was just a new spell experiment of his teacher. The last spell experiment made him go from a mage apprentice who never had any possibility of advancement to a formal mage. Then this time, there must be more benefits waiting for him to taste.
During the whole process, little Jack did not have any resistance or doubt, and he always maintained an excited mood. This fully demonstrated his unreserved trust in the young mage!
