Chapter 203: Go Out to Work when Your Level Is Stuck!
The numbers displayed on the crystal column in the meditation room...
How to put it, it's not very precise. It takes a certain constant value, for example, the mental power to release a level 0 magic is 1, and it goes up step by step.
It's actually a rough average. Each level, that is, wizard levels 1~2, 3~4, and so on, takes the upper and lower limits of mental power estimates, and roughly divides them into parts from 1 to 100, as a guide for wizards to advance.
In other words, if the mental power reading is around 33 to 35 on the red level, you can prepare to advance from level 1 to level 2; if it is around 100, you can prepare to advance to level 3. Some magicians with special meditation methods and extremely rich accumulation may be suppressed to around 110 or even 120 before they start to enter a higher level.
——The number Gretel tested before was 65, which almost means that he has completed the promotion from level 2 to level 3, half of the accumulated progress. Considering that he has only been a level 2 mage for a month or two, this progress is really surprising.
But, 138?
No signs of progress yet? !
In addition to Grete's profound accumulation and huge development potential, Master Descartes, looking at the real-time numbers, had to face a practical problem:
Gretel-san, for some reason, hit the upgrade barrier at Level 2.
...plans had to be modified.
Master Deckard originally planned to rely on meditation, potions, and retreat learning to at least get Gretel to level 3 and learn a bunch of second-level magic. A third-level mage cannot yet learn the fireball technique, nor can he transform into a humanoid self-propelled turret, but his survivability is at least much higher——
In terms of protection, there are [Mage Armor], [Protect Arrow] and [Resist Energy] for all-round defense;
In terms of attack, there are a number of magics such as [Acid Arrow], [Fire Sphere], [Lightning Shield] and [Icefall], which can be used for strong attack, defense and counterattack;
In terms of field control, [Cloud Mist], [Spider Web], and [Create Trap] are all very useful. If you want to escape, [Invisibility], [Second Illusion], and [Mirror Image] can be used together, as long as you are smarter , can all run away;
If that doesn't work, you can equip [Bull Strength], [Bear's Tenacity], and [Cat's Lightness] to go up and fight with others. In short, if you place people around Nevis City and give them a little free space to move around, if you can't defeat them, you can at least escape smoothly.
But now, it is clear that the spiritual power has passed the upgrade line, but it cannot be upgraded?
Master Descartes sighed:
"Let him learn all the magic at level 0 and level 1 first. From level 2 to level 5, common magic and introductions will be memorized for me. - If he doesn't finish learning and memorizing, he's not allowed to leave the mage tower!"
It would take three and a half months to learn everything, right? I can’t believe you haven’t advanced in half a year!
...Gretel just doesn't advance.
Why are you so anxious? After upgrading to level 2, the meditation core has not been built yet. When the trainee mage reaches level 1, he uses his mental power to build all the bones; when he upgrades from level 1 to level 2, he naturally has to attach muscles to the bones.
A normal male body has about 640 muscles. The number alone is more than three times that of bones. The amount of work is huge, and it cannot be completed so quickly.
It also needs to be divided into striated muscle (voluntary muscle), smooth muscle (involuntary muscle) and cardiac muscle. It needs to be shaped layer by layer from shallow to deep. Each muscle has to be divided into N bundles, as well as perimysium and tendons, as well as It is necessary to reserve space for blood vessels and nerves...
One month.
Muscle building is not complete.
Two months.
Still not finished shaping.
Three months.
Training course completed.
Gretel learned all level 0 and level 1 magic and successfully passed the examination of Archmage Carlisle. In the core part of meditation, he has finished shaping all the striated muscles and is moving on to the smooth muscles. In the meditation room, the astonishing number 169 popped up on the crystal that tested spiritual power...
However, what is the upgrade?
It’s not on the agenda yet!
Although he also wanted to advance quickly, the basics had to be laid, right?
Three and a half months.
Grete has memorized all the introductions to common magic at levels 2-5.
However, he still shows no signs of upgrading...
"So can I go to a treatment center? I have really finished learning everything I can learn now!"
Archmage Carlisle looked at Gretel helplessly, wishing he could throw out thousands of books and bury him. However, many years of experience have made him understand: if he did not advance when he first changed the meditation method, it may be because he did not have enough accumulation; if he has not advanced after three months, it is probably...that he is stuck.
What a magician needs when meeting a pass is not hard study, but experience, knowledge, and opportunity. Generally speaking, the Magic Council encourages them to go out, travel, explore, take risks, and even fight——
As we walked, some people were injured, lazy, and sunk. Some were killed halfway. There were also many magicians who found their own opportunities and moved to the next level with high spirits.
But can this little guy be let out? ah? Can it be released? !
Archmage Carlisle inhaled deeply, exhaled deeply, and inhaled deeply again. He finally threw a stack of information in front of Gretel:
"The magicians supported by the council have to complete some tasks every year. You are now a fourth-level arcanist, equivalent to a mid-level mage, and naturally you have to shoulder your responsibilities -
Because of last year's war, the Parliament's demand for magic materials has greatly increased, but production has not been able to keep up with demand. Especially for our dwarf friends, the ability to smelt mithril has always been a bottleneck. The parliament has issued a research and development task for this purpose. Take this information and go take a look tomorrow to see how you can increase the production of mithril! "
Gretel: "...Wait a minute, I'm a magician and a healer! I don't know how to smelt mithril!"
I'm a doctor!
I major in clinical medicine, not metallurgy or materials!
Why did you throw me over to the dwarves? I am not professional enough!
"You have to go even if you don't understand! When you complete the task, when will you come back! Or, come back after you upgrade to level 3 mage!"
Archmage Carlisle walked away.
don't know?
It’s best if you don’t understand. If you don’t understand, you can upgrade with peace of mind!
Is it easy for him to find such a task? !
A level 2 crispy little mage with a level 4 arcane spell. Exploration missions and combat missions are all afraid of high damage rates. Production tasks, such as copying scrolls and preparing potions, are really overkill.
The most suitable one is the research task. However, most of these tasks are set up by each mage tower themselves, find people to do it, and recruit people from outside. Only a few of them are released in a year...
The mission location must be in Nevis City, so you can watch it right under your nose!
You have to give him enough freshness and experience!
Even a low-level magician can do it!
Gretel: "..."
Forget it, you are short-handed when taking advantage of others, and soft-spoken when trying to take advantage of others. I have been enjoying the free training so far. If a task falls through, I might as well go to work.
Besides, he hasn’t seen a dwarf yet! A new intelligent race! in bulk!
Bring the paper, the pen, the X-ray light source - ah no, bring the Glorious Cult badge that Lin En gave you, and try to seize the opportunity to draw more anatomy diagrams!
