Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 155 The Curse of the Wilderness

Justice, the chariot, and the priestess did not intervene.

The chariot seemed to be very good at magical identification, and Su Nan suspected that he might be the kind of scholar who studied the history of magic, as recorded in the Oak Wizard's diary.

In the orthodox wizarding society more than two thousand years ago, so many categories and directions of magic were born that some high-ring wizards even said that new categories of magic were created every day in the orthodox wizarding society at that time, and every day several categories of magic disappeared because they had no successors and no competitive advantage.

In this context, a type of wizard was developed—a wizard specializing in the history of magic.

Wizards of the History of Magic are skilled in general knowledge, magic identification, and general magic. Although they do not study each area of ​​magic in depth, they have some basic knowledge of each. They are versatile characters who know a little about multiple areas of magic.

If the old chariot wizard is indeed an apprentice wizard in this direction, then he will be very useful to Su Nan.

In the future, when exchanging information, if we encounter anything we don't know about, we can ask him.

As for the "Justice" witch and the "Priestess" witch, their areas of expertise are not yet clear, but when they propose a deal later, Su Nan should be able to find out the types of magic they are good at.

The "Justice" witch looked at everyone and said, "I have a paralysis enchantment ring. I don't need a magic stone; I want a dark energy-related magical item in exchange."

Su Nan looked at the "Justice" witch, who seemed to be a witch specializing in the dark energy direction of the Emancipation School.

Speaking of which, the magic used by the drow warrior on the mountain that I saw through the swarm was also of the dark energy type.

Dark energy and similar spells, in the lower levels of the game, are generally used by enchanting certain weapons.

According to the Oak Wizard's diary, this seems to be because dark energy is different from elements such as earth, water, fire, and wind; it is more concentrated and dissipates faster in the air.

If the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind dissipate in the air at a rate of one unit after leaving the wizard, then the dissipation rate of dark energy is the square of that unit rate.

Therefore, during the apprenticeship stage, very few wizards are able to directly use dark energy to attack enemies with magic.

Su Nan realized that "Justice" was probably a melee wizard wielding a greatsword or similar weapon and slashing around everywhere!

Although Su Nan also wanted the paralysis enchantment ring, unfortunately he didn't have any dark energy magic items or magic scrolls at the moment.

In the end, the priestess produced a magical item called the Dark Energy Incense Burner and made a deal with Justice.

According to the priestess, the dark energy incense burner in her hand was something she bought by chance from an antique dealer.

This incense burner can only be lit with dark magic, and it can summon a law knight sealed within the dark energy space of the incense burner. This dark energy knight can probably provide some degree of combat power.

Although his combat power isn't particularly strong, the good thing is that even if he's killed, he can be summoned again by paying a small amount of dark energy magic.

For most wizard apprentices, the only thing that can protect them is a simple magical shield, so it is still very necessary to have some melee warriors in front of them to block their way.

Then the priestess took out a magic scroll for a 0.5-ring fireball spell. This fireball spell is a standard Evocation school spell that every fire magic apprentice must learn.

The chariot also took out a magic necklace enchanted with the [Ring of Flames Shield].

This magic necklace can only deploy a magic shield at the level of a second-class senior wizard apprentice, which is dispensable for senior first-class wizard apprentices like them.

"Justice" immediately took action, buying the 0.5-ring Fireball spell scroll from the "Priestess" for three magic stones, and then using one magic stone to buy the [Ring of Flames Shield] magic necklace from the old chariot wizard.

She was probably in a hurry, so she started taking out all her possessions and frantically buying things that could increase her combat power.

Next, she spent four magic stones to buy a dark energy obsidian ritual dagger from the petrifying witch. The dagger was also enchanted with a 0.5 level [Dark Energy Poison] spell.

And so, several more rounds of transactions were conducted.

After the "Justice" witch took out a magic scroll called "Wild Adventure," Su Nan immediately focused his attention on it.

The "Justice" witch explained, "This Wild Adventure is a first-circle spell model I found; it's a beast-taming spell from the Summoning school."

"But because this magic doesn't suit me, the only value I have in it is for reference, research, and collection. I'm bringing it out now in order to exchange it for some powerful magical items. I don't want the magic stone."

Su Nan knew that she was going to risk everything she had, even her life savings.

That's why they were willing to part with this entire first-stage spell model for trading.

Surprisingly, this first-level spell model didn't generate the same level of hype as when she took out the paralysis ring.

The Witch of the World commented, "Although it's a first-circle spell model, my expertise lies in herbalism. While obtaining a first-circle spell model is impressive, it must be very expensive."

"If that's the case."

"There are no wizards here who specialize in summoning. There was one wizard who might have been a summoner six months ago. Unfortunately, that guy had only just been promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice, so he probably didn't have anything good to offer, and he hasn't come back for half a year."

"Tsk tsk tsk, justice, you're going to be disappointed. I bet nobody's willing to trade this."

Both the chariot and the priestess nodded.

The petrifying witch clearly intended to purchase a first-circle spell model, but she was observing and hesitating.

After all, this is the Summoning school, not the Curse school or the Transfiguration school.

But since it's only a first-level spell model, she definitely wouldn't be willing to pay a high price to buy it.

"Justice" was clearly disappointed and sighed.

Su Nan suddenly spoke up and asked, "Justice, could you tell me the spell effect of your first-circle Summoning spell?"

Justice glanced at Su Nan, recalling that he had previously used the blood of the Komora reptile, and explained, "The [Wild Wonder Charm] is a spell that allows wizards of the Summoning School to enhance themselves and their summoned army."

"This Wild Adventure Charm is very magical. It can create a spell effect called 'Natural Aura Connection' based on the wizard's summoned and magical army. This effect can enhance a certain ability of the wizard himself, and the wizard can also transfer this enhancement terminal to a summoned creature that has established a deep connection with him."

"And the enhancement methods are different as well."

"Generally speaking, if the one who establishes a [Natural Aura Link] with this wizard is a three-headed earth bear, then this wizard will be enhanced in strength; if the one who establishes a [Natural Aura Link] with this wizard is a moose, then this wizard will likely be enhanced in endurance or speed."

"Different magical species produce different effects from the [Natural Aura Connection]. Even the wilderness wizard who created it believes that it has infinite potential and can produce different effects depending on the wizard in its hands."

"In fact, if the path of the Wild Wizard hadn't come to an end, he could have continued to enhance this spell."

"But if there are only one or two summoned creatures, the bonus effect of this spell is very small. And after all, it's a first-level spell, we... can't possibly learn it."

The righteous witch clearly still had some conscience, and she told Su Nan frankly, "Unless you are a wizarding apprentice specializing in the summoning school, there is absolutely no hope of learning it."

Su Nan had already noticed the Witch of the World's personality; she was quite sarcastic. At this moment, the Witch of the World chuckled and said, "That's why I said your first-level spell model simply won't sell. Even if it's a good product, it's useless if nobody needs it."

"Justice, if you want to acquire more powerful magical resources, I can give you an idea. I'm currently short of wizarding assistants, so if you could help me... perhaps..."

Su Nan thought for a moment and said, "I'll buy it."

Just kidding, among all the wizarding apprentices present, who has more of their own magical creature army?

Gargoyle Legion...

Scarab swarms...

Werewolf Legion...

The Death Knight Legion... the Ground Golem Legion, the Ghost Legion, and soon there will even be the Treant Guard Legion.

Moreover, one can use the AI ​​to analyze the usable parts of this first-level spell.

This "Wild Adventure" might be useless to other wizard apprentices, but it's incredibly useful to me.

The Witch of the World frowned in displeasure. "What?! Moon, are you insane? You're a necromancer, buying a first-level summoning spell from someone..."

"You're really wasting resources."

She was somewhat dissatisfied, and perhaps she really intended to take advantage of the current crisis facing justice to exploit her.
