Chapter 45: Progress Suddenly Becomes Difficult, New Spells
Storage bags are extremely valuable items.
Loon understood this very well when he left the Beacon of Prosperity.
In the six months or so that he had been with the Scarlet Wizard, Loon had been extremely careful and had never shown his storage bag to the Scarlet Wizard, so as not to be tempted by money.
But who would have thought that the Scarlet Wizard seemed to have known all along that he had a storage bag?
"Thunder Wizard, it wasn't me spying on you." Sensing the change in Lo Ang's emotions, the Crimson Wizard immediately spoke up to explain.
"Every wizard keeps his own diary—but I have never seen a new diary written by the Thunder Wizard."
"I think the new diary entries that Thunder Wizard has kept over the past six months must be hidden in his storage bag."
A diary is something very important to a wizard.
The more a wizard comes from a particular school of thought, and the more teachers they have, the more serious and meticulous they will be about keeping a diary.
As a very traditional school of wizards, Loon could not possibly ignore the diary.
If I didn't have time to write in my diary while on an adventure, that would be fine—but in the past six months, there hasn't been anything that has really taken up my energy.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Loen not to keep a diary.
But unfortunately, she didn't see Luo Ang's diary.
That can only mean one thing.
Luo Ang put his diary somewhere else.
Furthermore, when the Crimson Wizard met with Loon, Loon wasn't carrying any belongings, and his own base wasn't nearby.
—The only possibility is a storage bag.
Hearing the Scarlet Wizard's words, Loon's eyes twitched involuntarily.
He thought he had hidden the existence of the storage bag very well over the past six months, but he never expected that there would be so many obvious flaws.
Having said that, Loon did not deny it. He simply took out his storage bag and put the remaining jewelry and coins from the wizard Resent's lair, as well as the parchment scrolls, into the storage bag.
Afterwards, the two inspected Wizard Recent's meditation room.
In the meditation room, the floor was covered with powder left behind after the energy of the magic stone fragments had been completely consumed. The Crimson Wizard collected all of this powder.
These powders are useless to dark wizards, but they can be used by white wizards as special neutralizers, to harmonize the bloodlines of magical beasts, or as fertilizer for cultivating certain herbs, and so on.
Even if all else fails, it's still a decent trade tool for other white wizards.
After confirming that there was nothing else in the nest, the two returned to the surface of the sea.
The two spent two days and two nights reading through Recent's diary in his lair, but when they came out, the pirate ship was still standing there, too afraid to leave.
Loon and the Crimson Wizard paid no attention to the waiting pirate ship, simply waved to them, and then rode away on their sharks.
……
"The path of a wizard is indeed becoming more and more difficult as one goes on." In the Crimson Wizard's Neck Stronghold, after finishing his meditation for the day, Loon couldn't help but sigh.
Just a few days after becoming a second-class wizard apprentice, he clashed with the dark wizard Lescent, who patrolled the stormy seas.
Then, together with the Scarlet Wizard, they searched for the Lacey Wizard's lair, which took more than a month.
Another week passed before returning from the lair of the wizard Lescent to the stronghold of the wizard Scarlet's flask.
For a week, the Crimson Wizard was organizing the spellbooks and experimental records he had obtained from the Lascent Wizard's lair.
Meanwhile, Loon, while organizing spellbooks with the Crimson Wizard, also maintained his daily meditation.
It's been almost two months since he became a second-class wizard apprentice.
However, within the seed of soul and the seed of body, there were still only ten patterns.
The eleventh line, however, consisted of only a tiny ink dot.
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Ang could clearly perceive the growth of his mental power during meditation, he would almost have thought that his persistent meditation had no effect whatsoever.
"Even with a necklace containing a magical beast crystal, the progress of a second-class wizard apprentice is measured in years." Luo Ang placed his hand on his chest—there, a rope wrapped around the magical beast crystal, transforming it into a simple necklace hanging there.
The ink dots on the eleventh line of the Soul Seed and Body Seed only appeared under the stimulation of this magical beast crystal.
Compared to the progress rate of a first-class wizard apprentice, the improvement rate of a second-class wizard apprentice is simply incomparable.
"If you meditate like this, it will take one or two years to increase the strength of your mental power even a little bit—the longer you meditate, the slower the increase will be."
"Doesn't that mean that even if everything goes smoothly, it will still take seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, for a second-class wizard apprentice to become a third-class wizard apprentice?"
Luo Ang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then prepared a spell that would cause him to be entangled in plants and stored it in his temporary spell slot.
Of the two temporary spell slots, he has already decided that the first temporary spell slot will be the spell "Entanglement with Grass and Trees"—the reason for this spell is quite simple.
While testing the spell he had learned, Luo Ang discovered that the spell "Entwined by Plants" had another small effect—the spell itself was a spell that stimulated the life force of plants, and the stimulated life force could stimulate Luo Ang's own life force, causing Luo Ang's life force to gradually increase.
Moreover, the preparation of this spell is done with minimal disturbance.
As for what spell to use in the second temporary spell slot, Loon has not yet decided.
He was inclined to believe it was the 'Deflection Lock' on the staff, but he didn't know how to decipher a spell fixed to a magical artifact, so he had to abandon the 'Deflection Lock' for now.
"If 'Deflection Lock' cannot be deciphered, then the second temporary spell can only be Thunderclap." After storing the Grass and Wood Entanglement spell in the temporary spell slot, Luo Ang flipped through the other spells he had learned and continued to think.
Actually, compared to Thunderclap, Slash is also a good choice—but Thunderclap is faster, more powerful, and of course, more disruptive.
Therefore, between the Slashing Technique and the Thunderclap Technique, Loon prefers to use the Slashing Technique as a regular spell and the Thunderclap Technique as a trump card.
However, Loon had a small concern about using Thunderclap as a second temporary spell.
That is the relationship between the Thunderclap Technique and one's own White Eagle bloodline.
Thunderclap is a spell that Loon comprehended from the White Eagle bloodline, and it has a very deep relationship with Loon's own bloodline.
When casting the Thunderclap spell, the material used for the spell is Loon's own blood—during the casting process, Loon's own White Eagle bloodline will also resonate with it.
Therefore, Luo Ang was very worried that if he selected Thunderclap as his second temporary spell, his White Eagle bloodline might become even stronger.
For wizards, the higher the concentration of bloodline, the greater its proportion within the wizard's own system—in Loon's current understanding, this is a rather bad thing for wizards.
After all, Loon still remembers very clearly the scene where the Crimson Wizard was suppressed by the aura of the Needle Eel.
"How about trying the Boiling spell?" Looking at his spell list, Loon suddenly had an idea.
