Witch, don't be so lazy

President Matikka replied, “The only problem is, if you haven’t heard of the Blood Feast requirement, you must be an orphan…

"That's hard to say. After all, there are different factions within the vampire clan, and the blood feasts they hold are actually somewhat different."

A middle-aged male wizard nearby replied, "It could also be the vampire's own nature. After all, he's a member of the Calamity Cult, so it's normal for him to have psychological distortions."

"Although this requirement increases the difficulty of searching and kidnapping, the vampire is more cautious than expected. It chose to perform the ritual in the ruins of Tekir because it has successfully corrupted the troll tribe."

The mage dressed as a scout replied, "You're quite skilled. You managed to bewitch that second-level troll leader into becoming your own offspring. You think he's a vampire who's mastered illusion spells."

Trolls are rumored to be the descendants of cursed giants. They are naturally strong, have tough skin, and possess extraordinary regenerative abilities. Even low-level trolls are said to be able to regenerate severed limbs.

Logically speaking, it is usually difficult for vampires to make beings of the same level willingly become their own descendants.

Especially for those extraordinary creatures, becoming a vampire will erode their original bloodline and at the same time they have to sacrifice their loyalty, property and life. This deal is not cost-effective.

However, under the guidance of spells, words, potions, etc., vampires do have a small chance of obtaining descendants of the same level.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being a member of the Disaster Cult, an elite among the villains, and is totally incomparable to a scum like Thornes.

"Two second-level enemies, it feels very difficult."

An Ke was slightly worried.

"Don't worry. When we realized it was planning a blood feast and the ritual wasn't completed, its plot was doomed to fail."

Matika smiled.

"Yes, everything is perfectly arranged, and we are just waiting for it to take the bait."

The middle-aged mage spoke in a relaxed tone.

The scout mage and the other two mages did not seem nervous.

Obviously, their trip these two days was not in vain. They must have made sufficient preparations. There are six second-level mages in Asda City alone, and they can mobilize a large amount of resources and have many means to use.

The topic did not develop further, and Anke tactfully did not ask any further questions.

She is new here after all.

If she hadn't provided information about the Scourge Cult and if these mages hadn't had a good impression of her, she wouldn't even have known the above information.

"Okay, I won't go to the Teqir Ruins to cause you trouble."

Understanding the situation, Anke nodded.

She felt that this was a reminder, just like when Luya reminded her not to stay in the camp during the White Walker incident.

But Matika and several mages smiled at each other, and then the former spoke.

"It's up to you. If you go, you can earn some contributions. If you don't go, you can stay in the guild. You're young and have plenty of time. There's really no need to rush... I want to talk to An Ke alone."

then.

The other mages said their goodbyes and left the room.

After the others left, Matika looked at the girl.

"An Ke, I've read your information. At thirteen, you've already mastered four magic tricks: Mage's Hand, Telekinetic Shield, and Insight. The most important one is Psychic Shock. Lu Ya said you've mastered it to a high level of proficiency. It feels like it'll become Soul Shock in a few days."

The old woman's tone was filled with emotion. "What an astonishing talent! He's only just completed the ritual, and already he's breaking free from the ranks of novice mages!"

"It was just luck."

An Ke smiled sweetly and did not correct the mistakes in the other person's words.

Except for Hans, in the eyes of others, she really only mastered these four spells. She relied mainly on "mental shock" and magic scrolls to defeat Thornes, and even relied on the death of the chief of the lord's mansion who consumed a wave of magic power in advance.

It’s interesting to say that, even if Oqi is not “hiding in the shadows”, she seems to have been hiding all the time.

"What do you mean by getting rid of the ranks of new mages?"

She noticed what the other person said.

"Oh, this is a simple way to classify spellcasters: new, ordinary, and senior."

Qi Ling Xia Wu Si - Liu Ba (Seven). Qi Matika patiently explained.

This is the most common evaluation method - there is no need to explain it to newcomers. The general requirement is to master at least one spell of the same level. The first level is a low-level spell, the second level is a mid-level spell, and so on. A senior level means mastering three or more spells of the same level.

"Although in a real fight, factors like equipment, potions, scrolls, bloodline, and spiritual talent must be taken into consideration, generally speaking, aside from spiritual talent, a senior mage is stronger than the first two in other aspects. This is because their high proficiency in spells is essentially equivalent to long training time and abundant financial resources."

Matikka said this with a kind smile on her face, "As for someone like Anke who has mastered both spells and runes, that's an exception. I feel like you might already be a leader among ordinary mages."

"No, no, I'm still far from it."

An Ke waved her hands repeatedly. Although she had mastered three low-level spells, the Holy Flame Summoning was not convenient to perform in front of others, and her magic scrolls were mainly specialized in tricks. She really couldn't bear the title of a leader.

Mr. President, please don’t flatter me so easily!

"Haha, then just take this as your goal and work hard. Don't slack off."

The old woman smiled and said, "You are indeed a humble and good child. If it were that damned girl Luya, she would have been so proud of herself."

It turns out that it is not flattery, but a subtle encouragement to study.

An Ke blinked, and when she heard the president's words, she suddenly remembered something.

She took a letter from her coat pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Master President, this is the letter that Sister Luya asked me to give you."

Matika raised an eyebrow, opened the envelope on the spot, stared at the paper, and read ten lines at a glance.

Then she couldn't help laughing.

"This girl, apart from praising you and asking me to take care of you, the rest of the article was just boasting about her own good taste. Fortunately, she still had some conscience and remembered to ask about your well-being at the end. Humph..."

The old woman paused and looked at An Ke, "I heard that you also live in the Adventurer's Guild on weekdays. Would you like to tell me what Luya does on a daily basis?

You are amazing, big sister. You are indeed master and disciple. You can even predict this.

An Ke recited the rehearsed lines earnestly: "Although Sister Luya looks lazy on the surface, she works very hard every day..."

Then he was ruthlessly interrupted.

"Okay, okay, that girl is stupid, lazy, and likes to think crookedly. Did she teach you that?

I'm sorry, Sister Luya, it turns out that being a teacher is more skilled.

So, Anke looked at the old woman's bent fingers with an awkward smile on his face, and for a moment he didn't know whether to step back or remove the telekinetic shield.

The finger didn't click in the end, because...

"Humph, it's on that damn girl's head."

Matika's face darkened, then his expression became complicated again. He sighed and began to ramble.

"I've had four disciples in total, and the worst one was Luya. She was dumb and lazy. I heard that she had to ask Mira for help with her schoolwork at Asda City Academy."

"When I first started accepting disciples, I only wanted to accept Mira, but she insisted that I take Luya in as well. This girl knows how to take advantage of the situation, has a sweet mouth, and has some talent in perception. In the end, I thought that the two of them seemed to be inseparable after all, so I accepted one more."

"Later, when I was teaching, she was the one who annoyed me the most. She practiced the slowest, and when she got scolded, she would just beg for mercy with a playful smile, or else act pitiful. She wasn't very active in normal activities. If she hadn't wanted to follow Mira, she probably wouldn't even join the adventuring team. She was also very slow in becoming a mage. She only held the promotion ceremony after Mira and Yom were engaged. After becoming a mage, she didn't have any big ambitions and chose to stay in Xueshan Town."

"But it's okay. Of my four disciples, the first one died in the beast tide, the second one had an accident while traveling outside, and Mira was the most talented. Unfortunately, she had bad luck when she was promoted to a second-level mage, and she passed away in the end. Only Luya is still safe... Oh, old people just talk a lot, don't mind it."

Matika rubbed Anke's little head and said, "Go find the staff and ask them to arrange a room for you."

……

Got a new room, third floor.

It was clean and tidy, even luxurious. The furniture was all fine cedar, and it felt like it was over 200 square meters. In addition to daily necessities, it was also equipped with a potion and alchemy room, a simple meditation room, a storage room, and so on...

Although rooms and rents are extremely expensive on the main street of the city, Encore doesn't have to pay, and her current room can only be occupied by official members.

Once you get the bronze badge, you will be an official member of the Adventurer's Guild. Free accommodation and meals are just one of the many benefits.

Since it was not underground, there was warm sunlight in the room this time.

...is wrong.

I opened the curtains and lifted the restrictions according to the staff's instructions. The moment I opened the window, the cold wind and noise rushed in.

Anke closed it hurriedly.

It became warm and quiet again.

She now carefully scanned the surroundings with her telekinesis and the Eye of Judgment, then set up and reinforced some restrictions and barriers, and arranged runes in some places.

Put away the Reimu Rokurin Ershan (*Private Bamboo Shoes Master) luggage.

Encore will be staying in Asda City for the next few months.

Ok.

It’s time to plan the mantra practice and subsequent actions.

Chapter 95 Telepathy Magic

First, let’s take a look at the mantra.

An Ke currently masters three low-level spells, the "Eye of Judgment" of the Chaos School, the "Holy Flame Summoning" of the Fiery Sun School, and the "Shadow Hide" of the Shadow School.

[Eye of Judgment: 22/5000 Qi Leng VIII Five-Rate Dad (Seven) Skirt/Mastery]

[Holy Flame Summoning: 2/5000/Mastered]

[Shadow Hide: 16/5000/Master]

The first two were rewards for feeding the Dark Sun Overlord, especially the "Holy Flame Summoning", which was almost picked up for free, without any grinding process at all, which made the hardworking Miss Anke feel a little ashamed.

The latter was the result of his own complete cultivation, progressing from magic tricks all the way to low-level spells, which took him nearly five months.

Of course, these five months are a period of simultaneous practice, rather than spending all the time on one mantra.

It's just that due to the [Baba Yaga's Shadow Blessing], more experience is gained when farming the Invisibility Spell, so the advancement is faster.

Next are the two tricks that were not promoted.

[Telekinesis Shield Rune: 4963/10000/Specialization]

[Mage's Hand·Exquisite: 4051/10000/Expertise]

The proficiency of the telekinetic shield is higher, mainly because of the group will. Its specialization is runes. As Anke's attainments in ancient runes increase, the efficiency of the skill proficiency also increases.

Only the Mage's Hand was the most pitiful. It had almost no practice bonus before. It was clearly a trick that started in a dream, but in the end it was not the first to be promoted.

The second to last trick is also a trick with no bonus.

[Death Summoning Spell: 318/1000/Skilled]

There's not much to say. I learned this late, and it requires props to cast the spell. An Ke hasn't practiced this spell since he left Xueshan Town.

The last one does have Malchana's protection, but it was just learned when he left Cedar Town.

Hailstorm: 491/500/Beginner

Apart from practicing when fighting the Lizardmen, I ignored it at other times, which resulted in me being at the bottom of the list.

Finally, something else.

[Ancient Curse: 1036/10000/Beginner]

[Lunar Corona Meditation: 1244/5000/Beginner]

If the Lunar Corona Meditation Technique was upgraded when Thornes was killed, then the Ancient Rune Technique was truly a labor of love, starting from the creation of the magic scroll until now.

Although there has not been any radical change, we have always been moving forward step by step.

Considering that the entry-level value is so high and the difficulty of practicing is so great, people can't help but wonder what changes it will undergo when it reaches the new stage.

The same goes for the Lunar Corona Meditation Method. After further advancement, you can go to the "Moonlight Glade" again.

But it is obvious that based on the proficiency these two have gained in the past five months, it is estimated that they will not be able to complete the upgrade in a short period of time.

An Ke plans to focus his next practice on the two magic tricks.

The proficiency of the telekinetic shield is nearly 5,000 points short, and the proficiency of the mage's hand is nearly 6,000 points short.

It seems that there are many gaps, but in fact, it probably won’t take long to achieve advancement.

Because it had only been half a month since he became an official mage, the proficiency of the telekinetic shield had increased by 1,200, and the proficiency of the mage's hand had increased by about 1,900, even when he was allocating his energy to the invisibility spell.

On the other hand, during the apprenticeship period, it took more than four months to prepare for the spiritual tour, and the telekinetic shield and the magician's hand only went from the mastery level to the specialization level. Don't forget that the difficulty of gaining proficiency in the specialization stage is much higher than that in the mastery stage.

Why is the gap so big?

The reason is very simple. An Ke has been promoted in rank. Almost all spellcasters will undergo a transformation in their soul and magic power after being promoted.
