Arcane Journey

Chapter 48 War Mage

The battle with Zi Bug is over.

Bryan used magic to send a sound transmission to the goblin copper nugget.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, he was not in a hurry, but took the seriously injured sword mage to find a hidden tunnel for a while to rest.

He set up a warning and illusion circle around him, threw the sword mage into the cave of the tunnel, and stood outside the cave looking at his experience bar, preparing to upgrade his level.

"Increase the professional level of the Battle Mage!"

"Consume 29000 experience points."

"The battle mage profession has been upgraded to level 7."

"Come into contact with the fourth layer of magic net, the fourth-ring spell is successfully activated."

"Second ring spell slot +1, third ring spell slot +1, fourth ring spell slot +2."

"The intelligence attribute has reached 20 points, and the extra four-ring spell slot +1."

"Occupational feature: spell expansion."

"Obtain the four-ring spells of the Battle Mage: Phantom Killer, Ava Black Tentacle, Fire Wall."

……

"Only these three spells?"

Seeing the new spell he had obtained, Brian was slightly depressed.

As the level increases, for players with the system, the spells of the Battle Mage can be obtained by themselves, instead of learning one by one by themselves like a wizard.

This also makes the spells of battle mages very special compared with wizards, priests and warlocks, and there are very few spells that can be mastered.

Because the charm attribute of a battle mage determines how many spells they can learn after leveling up, and the intelligence attribute determines the power of their spells.

Likewise, strength and agility affect their fighting skills on the battlefield.

Judging from Bryan's 15-point charm attribute, after upgrading to level 7, he only got three fourth-ring spells, which was expected.

In this regard, he has nothing to complain about except for a little depression.

After all, he owns the Arcane Fire, which stores all the spells he has learned in the game world, from the first ring to the ninth ring, and even legendary spells, all complete,
As long as time permits, he doesn't need to spend energy to rebuild the spell model at all, he can master all of them like downloading software on the computer.

If not, it would be impossible for him to take up the job of Battle Mage, a profession with a pitiful number of rules.

Of course, because the spells of Battle Mage are very rare, all the spells released by this profession have been significantly strengthened.

It was precisely because of the professional characteristics of the Battle Mage that he chose to take up this profession.

Moreover, the few defects and shortcomings of the Battle Mage's spell table have been perfectly made up for by his Arcane Fire, and the rest are naturally all advantages.

Just like the spell sharpening, sharpening enhancement, and spell enlargement in the professional characteristics of the battle mage, and the new feature spell expansion obtained when he just upgraded the level.

The main function of "Spell Sharpening" is to add one's own intelligence adjustment value to the spell damage, so as to increase the power of the spell.

Based on his intelligence attribute of 20 points, at least an additional 5 points of spell damage can be added.

What is the concept of 5 points of damage?
Judging by the standards of ordinary human beings, if he didn't hit a vital point, this 5 points of magic damage is enough to kill him half of his life.

And "Sharpening Enhancement" is based on the ability of "Spell Sharpening", and the spell damage caused will get an additional 20% bonus.

The first two occupational characteristics obviously increase spell damage.

As for "spell enlargement" and "spell expansion".

The former can double the release distance of the spell, while the latter doubles the explosion range of the spell.

Among the professional characteristics of the battle mage, there are two damage characteristics, one increases the distance of the spell and the other increases the range of the spell.

It is this specialization that is even more extreme than the wizards of the evocation school, so that this profession is called: Fort Mage.

The official explanation is:

Battlemages are a group of master spellcasters who specialize in the arts and techniques of combat rather than academic study or the secrets of the universe.

Their power is primarily focused on controlling the battlefield and unleashing their arcane rage on as many enemies as possible.

In fact, it is also understandable that in this precarious magical world, if you want to establish a peaceful and prosperous world that is not polluted by evil forces, only ideals are definitely not enough.

Therefore, the battle mage profession, like the battle mage, who studies how to maximize the use of evocation spells every day, and then repel the dark tide and win the victory, came into being.

So their main energy is almost all on the research of a single attack spell, instead of specializing in one or more schools like orthodox wizards.

If Brian didn't have a system, and couldn't acquire the characteristics of a battle mage as his professional level increased, he would spend at least five years to master these abilities only by learning, and this was still a case of outstanding talent.

Otherwise, the Battlemage Legion of the Kingdom of Cormyr would not be famous all over the world.

Then, Brian looked at his experience points again. After upgrading the level, there was a little over 2 left.

He pondered for a moment, and chose to raise the level of psion.

"Increase the professional level of Psionic Warlock!"

"Consume 19500 experience points."

"The Psychic profession has been upgraded to level 6."

"Gain power points: 10 points, extra power points: 3 points."

……

This time, although he didn't gain additional specialties and professional characteristics, Brian could still clearly feel the increase in strength.

After all, he only needs to increase his level to level 20 to reach the legendary realm.

Every time the level is improved, in addition to the increased life energy and spiritual power.

His hidden attributes such as toughness, reflection, and will have also been significantly strengthened, but they have not been transformed in detail in the form of data.

After leveling up, he began to sort out the spoils he found after the battle.

Although the magic equipment of the drow priestesses is not used at all due to their beliefs and camps.

However, the sophisticated weapons and equipment made by the drow are still very popular underground or on the surface.

A high-quality drow scimitar is worth at least 500 gold coins, and a drow chain armor mixed with a small amount of mithril can be bought for more than 1000 gold coins.

Work in a while.

Brian sorted out gemstones worth nearly 5000 gold coins and some valuables from this pile of trophies, such as: moonstone, black jade, onyx, silver ornaments inlaid with black pearls, and so on.

However, when all the coins found were added together, there were only more than 2000 gold coins.

In fact, this is understandable.

Because the dark regions are hidden deep under the surface, the underground races have rich mineral resources.

So, they never built a mint, preferring to trade goods in cut gemstones.

As for gold coins, most of them come from surface merchants.

Although these things seem to be a lot, when Brian thought of the planned territory and wizard tower after he returned to the surface, he immediately felt that the things in front of him were just a drop in the bucket.

What made him even more disappointed was that he didn't find a single black opal among the pile of gems.

Black opal is a green opal with black flecks and gold particles.

Usually found at ancient hot springs or their dried-up remains.

Its main function is reflected in the increase and offset of force field damage. The price of one is about 1000 gold coins.

This gem is the main material for Brian to upgrade the arcane fire to level 4 and activate the four-ring spell.

Because after the Arcane Flame is upgraded to level four, it will gain the characteristic of "Arcane Barrier", and it is necessary to find a gem with a force field attribute to act as a medium before it can be activated.

Now, his battle mage has obtained the ability to cast spells with four rings, so he naturally meets the requirements for upgrading the arcane fire.

"Forget it, let's see if we have a chance to find it after we get to the Dark Forest." Brian waved his hand and put all the things in front of him into the dimensional bag.

He got up from the stone, and looked in the direction of the sword mage's cave with intriguing eyes.

Having stayed in the Kingdom of Cormyr for more than five years, he clearly knew that every mage in the Battle Mage Legion, whether missing or killed in battle, would be recorded in detail.

Bryan had also inadvertently looked through the information about the Chaos Emissary at the headquarters of the Battle Mage Legion.

In the 100 years before and after the Kingdom of Cormyr, there were only three sword mages who successfully advanced to the Chaos Herald.

Of the three, one is a half-elf and the other two are pure-blooded elves.

After all, if you want to become a sword mage, you first need to be recognized by some existence in the Fairy Wilderness.

In this regard, compared to humans, half-elves and elves with elven blood are much easier.

This made Brian curious about the real origin of this human girl who looked less than 20 years old.

After all, everyone who gets the seal of the Purple Dragon is a symbol of respect and status in the Kingdom of Cormyr, and it is also one of the highest honor rewards.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and walked towards the cave.
