I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Chapter 539: Discussion of Legendary Spells

Through an incredible method, Chen Zhou officially lifted the shackles of his possible existence and officially became a legendary spellcaster capable of casting 9th-level spells (only Druid and Priest divine spells).

The high-level spells in the two realms that were forcibly locked almost completely overlapped. The only difference was that at level 7, the cat realm was "repulsion", while the fate realm was "spiritual vision".

It’s better than nothing…

After the expertise brought about by the first flaw is unlocked, the number of XP points required has not changed and is still as high as 5.

But for Chen Zhou today, since church actions can also bring him points, it only takes about 5 months to accumulate enough points again.

Of course, the new specialty at that time will be "Legendary Spellcasting".

Unfortunately, there can only be two defects at most.

"Okay, let's think about the legendary spells we will develop in the future."

Instead of rushing to experiment with his new spells, Chen Zhou focused on the future. He needed a powerful spell that could actually provide combat power and close the gap between himself and Alphonse.

Although the steps of researching legendary spells may be simplified through the "Life Plan", he must at least have a clear direction.

After hearing this, even Crouching Dragon Phoenix Young was deeply surprised by the speed at which the other party's abilities improved.

In response, Chen Zhou just raised his hands and said, "This is what a warlock is like."

"Then we should really consider the issue of legendary spells, but Shushu doesn't know much about this thing."

There may not be a legendary spell caster among hundreds of millions of people who can master the transmission of magic. Each of them is a wizard who is encountered once in a century or even a thousand years.

Different from the Ring Magic, legendary magic is a miracle that transcends mortals and is independent of the Ring Magic system. It is the crystallization of the caster's lifelong knowledge and strength.

But it has only been five years since Chen Zhou became a spell caster...

Shushu is quite suspicious that even if the other party really has the legendary spellcasting ability, it will take decades to accumulate.

"Lily does know the process of studying legendary magic. 』

"Does dragon also need to be studied in order to cast the transmission method?"

"Of course, the transmission of magic is a system independent of conventional magic. Bloodline alone cannot carry its power and knowledge. 』

After clearing up Jerry's misunderstanding about dragons, Lily briefly explained the research process of legendary spells:
1. First of all, they must possess the integrated magical knowledge called "seed", which was explained once when they came to Essendria last time.

2. After integrating the seeds of transmission, the mage will obtain the basic formula called "factor".

3. Spend a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources and time to study the elements, and finally transform them into legendary magic that belongs only to you.

Like spell seeds or giant runes, the models of legendary magic possess power in their own right that cannot be recorded in writing.

What is used to carry them is the powerful soul of the legendary caster himself.

At the same time, because legendary magic is a power beyond the ordinary, even legendary casters who usually possess large amounts of magic cannot cast them as they wish.

Based on the choice of making it easier to cast when studying spells, many difficult legendary spells may require the caster's life and soul as a cost to reduce spell casting requirements.

Just like the Mystery Barrier invented by the elves, sometimes it may even require the joint efforts of a group of legendary mages to cast it.

"Trade-offs and costs?" Chen Zhou thought of moves like Space Slash. "Yes, it is very difficult to integrate the elements of the Seed of Transmission. Every time an effect is added, it will increase the 'weight' of the spell itself, so it is necessary to make trade-offs in functions at the beginning of research."

"Even so, the elements that have completed the streamlined steps may still not be established. In this case, the caster needs to pay a price to allow the spell to be completed. 』

Common costs include:

Withstand the backlash of spells, consume the power of life and soul, extend the length of spells in days, increase the number of spellcasters as assistants to work together, reduce the effect of legendary spells, etc.

In the end, many mages will find that they either complicate the casting of the spell, or directly suffer the backlash of the spell and explode with the enemy.

The crystallization of a lifetime... This is not a description, but the methods taught by many legendary mages may really only be used once in a lifetime.

In addition, during the research of spells, knowledge, materials, and magic items equivalent to dozens or even millions of gold coins are often consumed for reference and assistance. Ordinary legendary mage may not be able to collect so much money in his lifetime.
"The last one is not difficult for me. It may not even require that much money. I just need to spend some time cultivating magic materials and making magic items."

"But the loss of the Great River Territory will have a huge impact on our economic income. Currently, no industrial church in other planes has a complete version of the Tree of Life and is synchronized with the plane. It cannot produce magic materials and crops at full power like the Great River Territory."

This is a problem.

Chen Zhou mused that it would take at least several decades to raise funds for a study without interfering with the sustainable development of the Industrial Church.

Fortunately, the stolen money distributed by the Trade Church was still enough...

"Sure enough, we still need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou opened the pages of the legendary magic examples and references given in "Life Planning":
"Hell Ball" (Energy)

Author: Khanna Bloom

Casting time: Standard

Research requirements: 81 gold coins, 17 days, 32400XP
Effect: Releases a powerful spherical elemental explosion, causing 4 times the damage of "Fireball" within the range. It also causes acid, fire, electricity, and sonic energy damage, and needs to bear a quarter of the damage backlash.

Chen Zhourui commented: "What kind of rubbish magic? I can directly upgrade the extremely effective twin fireball to level 10. Isn't it more reliable than this? How did the person who spent to develop this become a legendary mage?"

"I remember that Kanabrum was a legendary warlock, right?" 』

"That's what warlocks are like."

To be honest, it would be better to feed the dogs with 810,000 yuan than to research this kind of thing.

Chen Zhou continued to read.

"Island Building" (Conjuration)

Author: Straub Morano
Casting time: 65 days

Research requirements: 81 gold coins, 17 days, 32400XP
Effect: Create new islands (circular, about 200 feet in diameter) in the sea. When used reversely, the same volume of land will sink to the bottom of the sea.

Chen Zhou continued to comment sharply: "What kind of useless magic? If you have the money and time, instead of reclaiming the sea and building land, wouldn't it be better to just open a door in the 9th ring or tear a rift in the plane and drag the land from the earth elemental plane?"

After reading the Dharma teaching examples included in "Life Plan", Chen Zhou, who had not yet had much confidence in his ability to become a good teacher, suddenly felt that he could do it for me.
