Above the mage

Chapter 51 Expansion of the Spell Treasury

Thinking this, Gao De took out his charcoal pencil and sat down at the table.

He opened the spell recipe for [Flame Arrow], picked up a charcoal pencil, and began to calculate in the blank space of the page according to the detailed description of the recipe, looking every bit like he was "solving a problem".

Same old steps:

Establish a Cartesian coordinate system, decompose the spell planet coordinates of the Flame Arrow spell model, and create an ordered ternary array.

The Fire Arrow spell model consists of ten spell stars.

This should already be the limit of the trick, with one more star than the [Acid Splash] spell model.

But for Gao De, who is about to graduate from the Department of Mathematics at Kyoto University, the coordinate decomposition of nine or ten stars is an extremely simple "elementary school math problem".

Before long, the coordinates of the ten nodes were displayed in the blank space of the recipe.

Gao De spent a few more minutes marking the ten coordinates, then put down the spell recipe, sat cross-legged, relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind of all distractions.

He quickly entered a meditative state, immersing his mind in the magnificent sea of ​​spells, and began to draw upon spell stars, attempting to construct the spell model for [Fire Arrow].

call!

Gao De exhaled a breath of stale air forcefully.

He suddenly stood up, opened his slightly closed eyes, and a hint of joy flickered in them.

Time flies by without us even realizing it.

Nine days have passed since he opened the box and obtained the legacy of the sorcerer Seda.

During these nine days, Gaode became exceptionally busy.

But the gains were equally enormous.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow".

Gao De silently recited in his heart.

Suddenly, an extremely rudimentary information interface appeared in his mind.

origin:

0环——【人类】（2/7）、【灰眼鼠】（已使用）、【暗沼潜蠕】（已使用）、狼鼠（1/7）

Spells:

0 Rings - [Mage's Hand], [Repair+], [Acid Splash+], [Freezing Ray], [Increase Resistance], [Fire Arrow], [Tracking Mark], [Flash], [Touch of Fatigue], [Detect Magic].

Looking at the ten spells neatly arranged in the spell column, an indescribable sense of satisfaction filled Gao De's heart.

All five spells left behind by the mage Seda have been mastered by Gaode!

Although Gao De is still a first-class apprentice, in terms of the breadth of his spell repertoire, even a second-class apprentice is definitely not as good as him.

In fact, among the third-class apprentices, only the senior ones could surpass him in the breadth of their spell repertoire.

"The breadth is sufficient for now, but it would be great if the depth could be improved," Gao De muttered to himself.

He looked at the spell bar, where eight spells had flashing yellow "+" signs next to them, and found it somewhat annoying, wishing he could click on all of them immediately.

Unfortunately, it lacks an origin.

Currently, the best way to obtain the source is still through ley line creatures.

However, the creatures living along the ley lines all live in the wilderness outside the city.

For Gaode Maps nowadays, hunting ley line creatures in the primeval wilderness is still too strenuous and too risky.

A first-class mage apprentice has indeed mastered a certain amount of extraordinary power, but is still too fragile.

However, there are too many uncontrollable factors in the wilderness.

Whether encountering powerful creatures or people whose morality is hard to discern, Gaode could be buried in the wilderness.

Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid unnecessary recklessness.

So, the thought of going out to hunt ley line creatures to obtain the source was only fleeting for a moment, but Gao De quickly suppressed it in the next instant.

Commercial area.

Many more days have passed, and the number of people on the street has not only not returned to what it was before, but there are even more people now.

The unusual activity outside Hogan City continues.

More and more people from other places heard the news and rushed to Hogan City to "hunt for treasure".

Upon seeing this, Gao De's unease intensified.

Even with all his anxiety, it seemed there was nothing he could do except hoard food.

With that in mind, God first went to Phil's Potions Shop to sell the basic spider venom potions he had made during this time.

When handing the delivery slip to Gaode, the pharmacy clerk casually asked, "Why have all the potions delivered lately been low-level spider venom potions?"

Gao De's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm as he explained, "The Mage has been away on business these days and is not in the herb garden, so we can only provide basic spider venom potions during this period."

The shop assistant had only asked casually and didn't take it seriously. "It's nothing. It just so happens that the sales of basic spider venom potion are extremely good right now."

"I'll have to spend some time trying out the basic stamina potion in a while," God thought to himself as soon as he left Phil's Potions Shop.

Currently, he still needs to use the name of the sorcerer Seda to make transactions with Phil's Potions Shop.

The news that Master Seda is no longer alive must not be revealed in the short term.

Although the apprentices in the herb garden had already reached a consensus to keep this news a secret.

However, if it arouses suspicion and someone is determined to investigate, it is not without flaws.

At least, he couldn't guarantee that the apprentices could truly keep their mouths shut completely.

While pondering how to continue the deception and use Master Seda's name as a cover, Gao De continued walking until he arrived at Pierre's shop.

He stepped inside and was surprised to find that the small grocery store, which was usually run by Pierre alone, now had three or four customers.

Gaode patiently waited on the side for a while until all the guests left.

"Business is good today." Gao De was a little surprised. These three or four customers were not just browsing; they each bought something.

"Not just today, but the past few days have been alright as well." Pierre was not being overly polite at all.

"With more and more outsiders coming in, there are naturally more customers. Now, the businesses in the city are hoping that the unusual situation outside the city can continue indefinitely," he sighed.

"You businessmen have made a small fortune these days," Gao De nodded thoughtfully.

"I'd rather not make this money," Pierre said with a hint of helplessness.

Gao De knew that Pierre was not "Versailles," after all, it was Pierre who reminded him to stock up on food in case of unforeseen circumstances.

"Did you come to see me this time because you have some big business opportunity to offer me?" Pierre shook his head and asked casually.

Gao De glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then approached the counter and whispered, "Boss, can you still contact Mr. Yom, the one who sold me the spell formula?"

"Hmm?" Pierre's already small eyes narrowed, almost to the point where only a slit could be seen.

But a glimmer of light shone through the crack.

"Still a brokerage fee of 10 silver coins." Gao De, with his thick skin, rubbed his fingers together, indicating that the benefits were considerable.

"Didn't you look down on the remaining two spell recipes back then?" Pierre glanced at God.

"That was then, and this is now," Gao De said with a chuckle. "Besides, we were short of money back then too."

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Mastering all three spell recipes will take you a lot of time," Pierre said with a slight frown, as if offering a deeper insight.

"I know, it's better to be safe than sorry," Gao De said, offering a plausible explanation rather than refuting Pierre.

"We can still contact him, but I'm not sure if he's still willing to sell the spell formula." Seeing that Gao De insisted, Pierre didn't press the matter further, but remained very cautious.

"Whether he is still willing to sell the spell recipe or not, I will pay you 10 silver coins as long as you help me contact him."

Now that Gao De could barely afford to be wealthy, he reluctantly said, "Also, if he's unwilling to sell spell recipes anymore, you can tell him that I'm willing to pay a little more."

"Deal!" Pierre chuckled, giving Gao De a meaningful look. "Looks like you've made quite a haul this time."
