The mage arrives

In the private library of Grand Duke Rob Antello, on the surface, only various non-magical books are stored.Gordon found the pink book here, it was all luck, no exceptions.

In the mirror on the wall of the private library, the Lord of Wands opened a passage to a small subplane.And in this sub-plane, the various spell books he has collected over the years are stored.

I don't know how many people want to walk into this real private library and take a look.

Gordon considered himself lucky.Although the emerald key can only allow him to enter the library in the subspace where spells of the third ring and below are stored, it is enough.Greed is not a good quality.

Gordon had already planned which three-ring spells he should learn first.

First of all, as the most signature and practical fireball technique of the evocation school, Gordon will definitely learn it.Although the missile storm he invented is very useful, he still lacks a more cost-effective range attack spell.

Secondly, the dispelling magic of the protection school is also a must.This spell is very useful in the confrontation between mages, and it belongs to the panacea type spell.

Finally, of course, is the flying technique.Everyone has a dream of flying, even if the great practicality of this spell in fighting and fleeing and scouting is put aside, the temptation to roam freely in the sky alone is enough for Gordon to learn this spell.

Except for these three spells that need to be learned with the highest priority, others depend on the situation.Although Grand Duke Robert has a rich collection of books, it is impossible to include all the three-ring spells in the world.

In the library, there are eight schools of art, transformation, protection, spells, evocation, mind, illusion, prophecy, necromancy, plus a general faction, and nine bookshelves are clearly placed.

However, there are not many general-purpose spells. The most famous general-purpose spells Gordon remembers are the nine-ring wishing spell and the very important constant spell when enchanting equipment.

There were no spells from the Three-ring Universal School, and the bookshelves were empty. Gordon turned his attention directly to the bookshelves of the Evocation School.

Gordon first picked up a magic book called "Fire and Ice", which recorded the learning methods of the four three-ring evocation spells of Fireball, Flame Arrow, Hail, and Ice Blast, as well as some experience in using them.

Except for the quick way of reading magic scrolls, the normal spell learning method generally has four steps.

The first step is to obtain the basic principles and theoretical information of spells from various information carriers, such as ancient stone tablets, lost sheepskin scrolls, teaching materials of various magic schools, and spell books written by mages.

The second step is to analyze the energy type, basic structure, and unique characteristics of the spell with one's spell recognition skills.

The third step is to communicate with the magic net with spiritual power, weave the spells, form them into a structure, and then store them in the spell slots.

Repeat the third step until the imprint of the spell is fully formed in the mind and fixed, then it is considered that a spell has been learned.

The fourth step is to release spells through casting materials, incantations, and gestures.

After continuous practice, one can achieve the ability to cast spells with a success rate of more than 80% in a combat state, which is considered to be a thorough mastery and proficiency in use.

Of course, the above four steps are only for mages who rely on magic nets and spell slots to cast spells in the Telos world.For Gordon, he doesn't need to communicate with the magic net, as long as he understands the basic principles of spells, and then spends mana points, he can practice casting spells non-stop.

For ordinary mages, due to the limited daily spell slots, it takes a long time to practice a spell until it is skillfully cast.However, Gordon has plenty of mana, and can restore mana through mana potions and meditation.Even if he spends mana every day to produce the Xiongfeng Ring and various magic potions, his spell learning progress far exceeds that of ordinary mages.

Two days later, he learned all the fireball, dispel magic, and flying skills and mastered them proficiently.Although further practice is needed to achieve the level of sending and receiving freely, it is already usable.

With stronger strength and more confidence in his heart, Gordon decided to start investigating Darren.

Of course, he couldn't hide this matter from his boss. Gordon found Rob Antello and reported to the Grand Duke. The latter supported Gordon's decision and even gave him some practical things. to facilitate investigation.

"I have only one request. The investigation must be carried out quietly. If no decisive evidence is found, don't make a big fuss." Grand Duke Robert carefully urged Gordon to leave.

After all, Darren is also a member of the mage group. If the Lord Scepter's secret investigation of his subordinates gets out, the impact will not be good.

After breathing with Rob Antello, Gordon came to the mage resident on a dark autumn night.

This is a "mouth"-shaped building overlooking from the sky, with four floors.The wide courtyard in the middle was opened up as a practice ground for low-level spells, and many dummies were erected in a mess. On these magic targets, there were still traces of various electric shocks, acid erosion, fire, and freezing.

Gordon came to the entrance of the building, and a mage wearing the mage regiment's robe and holding a black wooden staff stopped him.

"Sir, what's the matter?" The mage's tone was a little blunt, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Gordon knew that, except for the necessary personnel on duty, all members of the mage group would be able to take a dip in the famous Rainbow Hot Spring tonight, which was also one of the benefits of being the lord of the scepter mage group.The man in front of him happened to be on duty tonight, so he missed the opportunity to soak in the hot spring, so he was naturally upset.

"Lord Antaello sent me to check the production progress of the fourth batch of enchanted flame swords." Gordon showed the special pass prepared for him by the Grand Duke of Scepter.

"Please come in." The mage turned sideways to make way for the passage.

Gordon walked into the building and came to the sixth door on the west side of the third floor.At this time, most of the mages in the mage group were soaking in the hot springs. He made a time difference, and it happened to be convenient for him to act when there was no one there.

According to the information provided by Lord Scepter, Darren lives here.Gordon didn't immediately open the door with a knocking technique, but took a closer look first.

Soon, he found two hidden magic marks on the left and right sides of the door frame half a person's height.

Qualified mages will have their own anti-theft measures. Although that mage Darren's emotional intelligence is not high, his intelligence is still sufficient.However, for Gordon, this little trick of his was effortless to decipher.

Both of them are three-ring arcane attainments, and Gordon also possesses magic knowledge that Darren can't match.After studying it carefully for a while, he found a way to break the magic mark.

These two magic imprints belong to the joint trigger type. As long as someone tries to open the door forcibly, the first imprint will immediately activate the buzzer, making a loud alarm sound, and then the second magic imprint will immediately transmit a brief message To Darren, let him know that someone is trying to break into his room.

The design is very ingenious, but unfortunately the two magic marks are very simple, and it is easy for Gordon to decipher them.

"lo-jah, kaal-zoor." Gordon recited the spell, and the arcane energy condensed on his fingertips slid across the magic mark.Darren's imprint sparked a little, and then fell into a dim state.

"It's done." Gordon smiled slightly, chanted the percussion technique, and opened the door.

The lord of the scepter is really kind to his subordinates. The members of the mage group, even young people like Darren, who are not very senior, are treated very well.This house has more than 200 square meters, living room, study, bedroom, bathroom, toilet, and the most important magic laboratory, everything is available.Although it is not as good as the living conditions in that single-family building in Gordon, it is still very good.

Just the laboratory with the functions of ventilation, explosion suppression, fire extinguishing, and magic lighting, if the mage paid for it himself, it would cost at least a thousand gold coins.

Gordon walked around and found that Darren had cleaned the room very well.In fact, most mages keep their residences neat and tidy.For a mage who pays attention to logic and orderliness, it is difficult to tolerate the "chaos" in his living space.

Although no useful evidence was found, Gordon did not rummage around like those unskilled thieves.Mage also has his own way.

He took out a crystal ball from the dimension bag.

This is a precious magic item given to Gordon by Lord Scepter to help with the investigation.

Gordon held the crystal ball in one hand, and took out three platinum coins with the other—this was the necessary material for activating the crystal ball.

Magic items that cost so much money are naturally not ordinary things.In this crystal ball, there is a constant seven-ring prophecy spell: retrospective vision.As long as the crystal ball is activated, Gordon can see and hear what happened in the past within a certain range.As for how far back in the past, it depends on how many gold coins you spend.

Fortunately, the three platinum coins were also provided by Grand Duke Rob, otherwise Gordon would not be so extravagant to use such an expensive way to find evidence.

It is a huge challenge for a three-ring mage to control and use a seven-ring magic item.However, after Gordon read Olo's sheepskin scroll, he gained 15 points in the "use magic item" skill.This is a great help to him.

After calling out the activation password and injecting a bit of magic power, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a bright yellow light, covering the entire room.

The platinum coin in Gordon's hand quickly disappeared in the light without a trace.

He seized the time and walked around the rooms with the crystal ball, letting the yellow light shine on every corner.

After a while, the yellow light gradually faded. Gordon felt that the time was almost up, so he put away the crystal ball and left Darren's room.

He returned to the small building where he lived, put the crystal ball on the table, and read out the password.

The three-dimensional image, like a color movie, is irradiated from the crystal ball and projected onto the mirror that Gordon had prepared long ago.
