Chapter 55 The first clues appear
Ivan came to a martial arts arena in the castle.
There is a target for testing spells in the martial arts arena. The spell defense scale is 6 scales, and the spell attack power can be judged by the traces left behind. Vine Entanglement is an auxiliary spell, and it is definitely not accurate to measure it with a spell target.
"Wadadengwaalamasu--"
The spell is said to be an elemental language and needs to be recited in a chanting or whispering manner, which helps to attract energy particles and further enhance the power of the spell. After learning it before, even my linguistics experience points increased by a few points.
An emerald green vine emerged, surrounding the spell target and tightly wrapping around it, circle after circle.
The little finger is as thick as it is and can be up to three meters long.
Ivan took a big step forward and chopped down with his sword. It was like he was cutting a layer of very tough bark. The vines broke and turned into energy particles and dissipated in the blink of an eye.
"It has a certain toughness, but it can't stand up to the knight's sword."
Vine Entanglement is not a defensive spell, it aims at the entanglement strength and toughness of the vines.
He then used Vine Entanglement again, pulling the green vines with both hands. At first, they didn't move at all, but after using his fighting spirit, the vines slowly broke and disappeared before his eyes.
"The toughness is between 3 and 4. If there are good spellcasting materials, 5 may not be the limit. No wonder the instructor commented that it has strong plasticity."
A satisfied smile appeared on his face. What made people afraid of magic was not its lethality, but its unexpected attack method, which made it difficult to defend against.
When casting Entanglement with Vines, he can materialize vines that will directly entwine around the target, leaving the target with nowhere to hide. This can also be done against ordinary beasts. When dealing with fellow apprentices, the spell description states that due to the interference of the force field around the apprentice, he can only materialize vines to one side first, and then entwine around.
After casting two spells, only one third of the mental strength and magic power in the body remains. He cannot cast a third spell, otherwise he will hurt himself.
Mental strength and mana can be restored through meditation or sleeping.
Ivan continued to practice breathing techniques for a while before leaving the training ground.
On the way, he met the little green-winged snake Lar and a cloud servant he had never seen before. The cloud servant's body seemed to be filled with floating snowflakes, and he could feel the coldness of the other party when he got close to it.
"Lal, is this an enemy?"
He looked in surprise at the prisoner being escorted, a rather scruffy blonde girl.
Logically speaking, no one should be able to break into the island, let alone attack the castle.
The blonde girl, Purney, glared at him unhappily: "Boy, I am your senior, senior, understand? You have to be polite when you meet a senior. Didn't your elders at home teach you that?"
"Shut up, you have no right to speak." The little green-winged snake slapped her with its wings, and made her lower her head. "You attacked the Lar and dared to be so arrogant. If Wizard Toins hadn't forbidden me to kill you, I would have buried you by the dock long ago.
She is Penny, a very disobedient apprentice. Evan, you must not learn from her."
The little green-winged snake and the cloud servant did not stop, and pressed Penny to continue walking towards the highest point of the castle.
"She is the niece of Earl Hobson that Justie mentioned. She doesn't look like there is anything wrong with her health. Why did she attack the Lar?" Ivan was stunned, but did not say anything to stop the little green-winged snake.
After many contacts, he almost figured out Lal's personality. He loved to play, to show off, and to give random names, but he was very principled and never went against what Wizard Toins said.
He had a vague feeling that he was no match for Lal now.
Ever since he met Penny, Ivan had developed a sense of urgency. He always felt that something was about to happen, as if something was about to happen.
……
Three days have passed. [Meditation experience +10]
[Meditation: Lv1 (31/100)]
[Rune Experience +2]
[Runes: Lv1 (5/100)]
The 12th meditation rune was broken through by him, and two days later, his mental power soon increased to 3.6 scales, which just corresponded to the 12th meditation rune.
Strength: 3.0, Agility: 3.8, Constitution: 3.7, Spirit: 3.6
These are his current statistics. His mental strength is almost catching up with his physical strength, but he has entered a period of slow improvement. Whether it is his fighting spirit or mental strength, he is still far from being promoted.
There was a sound coming from outside, which made Ivan frown as he was thinking.
"I have something to tell you. I, Laurie, have become a second-class apprentice first. I am here to share my joy with you to boost your morale. I hope—"
The voice came clearly through the door, and the person who spoke should be not far from his door.
This guy keeps doing this again and again. Does he really think he has no temper? Ivan walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, there was a figure standing in front of him, expressing his joy enthusiastically.
Laurie turned around at the right moment, with an irrepressible smile on his face: "Ivan, you came at the right time. You should also share your insights with everyone. After all, it is not easy to be promoted to a second-class apprentice. Everyone needs encouragement."
"How about I talk to you about the magic problem, Wadada, Waala Masu——"
Ivan had already been brewing a spell, and then he quickly recited the incantation.
"No, what are you doing?" Laurie's face changed drastically. Before he could take a few steps back, a green vine appeared on his left and coiled around him like a snake. "Brother Ivan, let's talk it over."
It was the first time for him to face a spell head-on. God knew it would strangle him half to death, so he hurriedly spoke softly.
"Remember, don't mess with me."
Ivan dispersed the 'vine entanglement' and turned back to the room, leaving Laurie with a pale face.
Of course, fighting is not allowed in the castle. He just wanted to scare Laurie, but he didn't expect that the other party was so easily frightened.
At the same time, one thing was verified. What the spell book said was correct. The vines would be disturbed by the apprentice's surrounding force field and could not entangle directly. This could be considered a minor drawback.
[Energy Particle Science Experience +6]
[Energy Particle Science: Lv1 (41/100)]
The experience points were a pleasant surprise. He had truly demonstrated his abilities, allowing other apprentices to recognize his strength, thereby gaining some reputation, which was converted into corresponding subject experience points.
It's late at night.
Ivan opened his eyes alertly and found a faint light flashing just above his eyes.
There is energy fluctuation!
He sat up and moved to the side, stretched out his hand and flicked it casually. A lamp hanging on the wall lit up, emitting a faint light.
After observing for a few seconds, he discovered that the faint light was coming from inside the wood, and there was something hidden inside the upper side of the beam.
With a leap, he lightly grabbed the beam of the house and hung himself on it. With his fighting spirit wrapped around his fingers, he pressed hard and pulled out a jewel bead. His body swayed slightly and he landed lightly on the ground.
After being touched by him, the gem bead fell silent.
"Mystical mark?"
Ivan could tell at a glance that there was a spell with a secret mark on the gem bead.
After thinking about it, he transferred some magic power over and activated the secret mark on it.
The gemstone bead vibrated slightly, and a subtle voice came from it: "Lucky boy, congratulations on finding the magic weapon hidden deep in the fog. As a magic weapon elf, I will bring you endless power and wealth. Cheer in your heart."
Hearing these words, Ivan's face turned a little dark. Is there no one who can talk properly these days?
