Chapter 91 Test
Walking on the crossroads road, Athir soon arrived at his destination.
In the recording room, Athir looked around.
Apprentices were constantly walking around here, most of them wearing gray robes, with cold faces, and walking quickly past here in a hurry.
Walking in silently, Gray, who was originally on a mission here, had disappeared. He was called back by his family a few days ago. It seemed that something had happened.
Without a guide, Atier didn't care. He just walked in slowly, looking at the stone walls.
After a while, he walked to the corner he had been to last time.
"Thorn armor, vitality absorption..."
Looking at the two templates in front of him, Athir muttered to himself.
This was the basic template he valued last time, but due to the shortage of magic stones in his hands, he was unable to choose it and could only keep it until now.
"Still missing some offensive spells."
He thought about it and continued to walk to the side.
"Ball of particles..."
Arriving at another corner, Athir casually glanced at the several stone slabs in front of him, and quickly turned his attention to one of the spell templates.
This was the only attack spell he had seen here that was based on light particles, and according to the introduction, it was very powerful.
"Just these three."
With a soft sigh, Athir muttered to himself.
If possible, he would like to choose a few more spells. Even if he doesn't need so many for the time being, he can save them for future study and strengthen his spell reserves.
Unfortunately, although Athir had saved up quite a bit of magic stones by selling potions over the past month, he had not sold many potions because he had to conceal his success rate in refining potions.
Moreover, his expenses were also very high. Not only did he often have to take many paid courses, but he also needed to buy materials to conduct experiments himself. In addition, he had just purchased the formula for the awakening potion from Teacher Simora, so there were not many magic stones left, not enough for him to buy more spell templates.
After all, spell templates are not cheap.
After making his choice, he walked straight to the corner.
In the corner, the original old man was still there, meditating with his eyes closed.
"What spell do you need?"
Without waiting for Athir to walk up to him, the old man spoke directly without even moving his eyelids.
"Thorn Armor, Life Drain, and Particle Sphere."
Standing there, Athir did not move forward, but looked at the other party and spoke quietly.
Listening to Athir's words, the old man in front of him, who had his eyes closed, moved his eyelids and opened his eyes.
"A total of eighty-seven magic stones."
He looked at Athir and stated the final price.
This price was much higher than the last time's Catalysis. Because the spells that Athir chose this time were all more expensive than Catalysis, and the total price of the three spells was not high.
Looking at the other person, Athir said nothing, took out the magic stone from his waist and placed it on the wooden table of the old man in front of him.
The old man waved his sleeves, put away the magic stone on the table, and then took out three light blue crystal balls from the side and placed them on the table: "The key is the default, just use it when you go back."
Atier nodded, took the three crystal balls, and left directly to return to the accommodation area.
··············
More than a month later.
Athir stood quietly in front of a spacious laboratory.
This is a unique laboratory in the academy's experimental area, which is equipped with special materials and magic arrays, allowing people to test the power of spells.
"Let's try the defensive spell first."
Standing there, Athir muttered to himself.
He stood where he was, took out a white robe from the side and put it on, then cast the Thorn Armor.
After the spell was cast, there was no movement around. If it weren't for the disappearance of some of the mental power in his mind and a vague feeling of fatigue, Athir almost thought that the spell had failed.
"Well, after the chip's deduction and improvement, the concealment of the thorn armor has become better and better. Even if ordinary people stand in front of me, I am afraid they will not know that I have cast a spell."
Seeing the result, Athir nodded with satisfaction.
The original thorn armor would make a lot of noise when used, and not only wizard apprentices but even ordinary people could see it. It had very poor concealment.
After the chip was improved, this shortcoming undoubtedly disappeared. Even if the spell was cast in front of other people, no trace would be found.
After testing the concealment of the spell, Athir immediately tested other aspects of the spell.
There are some golems ahead.
Walking up to these puppets, Athir took off his white robe and put it on one of the puppets.
After finishing all this, he left the spot and walked twenty meters away.
After walking to the predetermined distance, Athir picked up an inky black longbow, picked up an arrow, and began to aim.
He did not use too much strength when shooting the first arrow. When it hit the puppet, a flash of light green appeared on its white robe, directly blocking the arrow, which slowly fell to the ground.
Seeing this result, Atier was not surprised. He continued to pick up the arrow in his hand and started shooting.
With the second arrow, he still didn't use much strength, which was probably equivalent to that of a newly advanced knight, and it was also blocked by the light green light.
For the third arrow, Athir used about the same strength as an ordinary great knight.
This time the light green light flashed again, but it failed to block the arrow, causing it to hit the white robe.
However, this arrow failed to break through the magic defense added to the white robe. Although it hit the white robe, it was also blocked, leaving only a dent on the robe.
"It seems this is the limit."
Looking at the marks on the white robe from afar, Athir raised the bow again and this time shot the arrow with all his strength.
Bang!!!
A loud crashing sound was heard.
Atier looked into the distance and saw a white robe quietly draped on a tall puppet in the distance. On it, a long white feather arrow pierced deeply, passed through the white robe, and sank into the body of the puppet.
"It can block the attacks of knights, even ordinary great knights. It will only be broken when facing the top great knights."
After roughly testing the defense, Athir concluded: "Compared to the original basic template, the thorn armor improved by the chip can not only last longer, but also almost double the defense."
After trying this spell, Athir immediately started to try the next spell.
Among the four spells he knew, Plant Catalysis was a completely auxiliary spell, while Vitality Absorption was a destructive spell of the plant system.
Under different circumstances, energy particles will exhibit different properties, such as positive energy properties and negative energy properties.
The absorption of vitality is the application of negative energy particles from plants.
By using plant-based negative energy particles, the structure of many organisms can be destroyed, slowly eroding the opponent's body and corroding the opponent's life.
In terms of attack power alone, this spell may not be too strong, but it is very good in terms of destructive power. If used properly, it can be used in many places.
After testing these two spells, only the last spell remained to be tested.
"Ball of particles..."
Standing quietly in place, Athir quickly constructed the template of this spell in his mind.
Slowly, a ball of light about one centimeter long appeared in his hand, jumping around inside it.
This is the particle ball. In Athir's palm, each light spot contains extremely concentrated light energy particles, combined with a very small number of other particles to form a complex structure.
With the guidance of Athir's mental power, in an instant, the ball of light in Athir's palm flew away quickly, quickly drawing a brilliant glimmer in the space.
Boom!!!
Slight collision sounds continued.
Far away from Athir, several small holes appeared on a three or four meter tall metal puppet, and it looked like something exploded in the puppet's body.
Looking at this scene, Atier nodded slightly, and then saw the data prompted by the chip on the side.
"Particle Ball (Improved): 0.3 units of mental power are consumed for each activation, and the instantaneous burst power is 16 units..."
"It's only 16 ku in power. Although it's a little bit smaller, it consumes less energy. It's not like other spells that would use up all your energy after just one or two uses."
Looking at the scene in the distance and the prompts from the chip, Athir nodded, and was quite satisfied with the effect of the spell.
The so-called "ku" is the wizards' unit of measurement for the power of spells, and it was directly taken and used by Athir at this time.
After testing the spell, Athir looked around and chose to leave the laboratory and walk towards another location.
When I arrived at the familiar underground market, I hadn't walked far when I saw someone waiting there.
That was Grace, who was wearing a gold-rimmed robe, with several gray-robed apprentices following him. She was standing at Athir's stall, waiting quietly.
When he saw Athir, he smiled and went straight to him: "You are here."
"Are the items for the transaction ready?"
Athir's face was calm as he put the package in his hand on the wooden table.
Looking at Athir's actions, Grace's face changed. Behind him, a gray-robed apprentice came over and opened the package, revealing the healing potion inside.
"This is the last batch. There are thirty copies in total. You can check them."
Grace nodded, but did not respond. Instead, she took out a very thick book that looked a little old.
"This is the recipe for the last potion. Because time is tight, we can't make the crystal of wisdom. You can only read the book yourself."
Athir didn't care about this. He just reached out to take the book and flipped through a few pages.
The book in front of him contained a recipe for a potion called Drops of Spirit.
"It turns out to be a potion that can directly enhance mental strength."
After taking a quick look at the materials and effects of the potion, Athir was a little surprised.
Although wizards' potions are all very precious, among the countless potions, those that can directly enhance mental power are undoubtedly the most precious. I didn't expect to see them here.
"It just looks better."
Listening to Athir's words, Grace shook his head and said, "Compared to the previous two, this potion is a true ancient potion. Some of the materials needed for its configuration have completely disappeared. Unless a pharmacist can improve it, we can only take a look at it."
