Chapter 349 Extraordinary Traits and Choice of Level 9 Spells
  Outside the meditation room, Gang Kidd, Atali and others took turns waiting for three days and three nights.

Suddenly, the door opens.

Roland walked out with a smile on his face.

Atali looked at Roland and found that his appearance had not changed much, but his mental temperament seemed completely different.

He is still the young man who looks to be in his 20s, but standing there, there is a phantom hanging around his body. Due to the stimulation of the medicine, the soul resonance that has not completely calmed down is booming, with fluctuations in spiritual power.

Dots of starlight flicker, which is the transformation of the source of magic power, showing a pattern like a constellation.

"Have you successfully been promoted?" Atali asked with a bit of surprise.

"Of course." Roland spread his hands and said with a smile, "Only when you see the void can you know your true self.

After successfully solidifying this soul resonance, I finally realized that this is what the so-called higher-order life is all about! "

This time, not only did he truly embark on the path to transcendence, but he also found a way to advance himself to legend and even go further.

It can be described as reborn.

"Congratulations, you have been promoted to a high level so smoothly, but it is much faster than we expected."

While he was talking, several high-level mages who happened to be nearby came over and congratulated him.

They looked at this young man with smiles on their faces, knowing in their hearts that from then on, he had made up for the last shortcoming in his "own life level" and became just like them.

No, in terms of arcane status and empire governance, it even surpasses people like myself!
  Roland greeted them a few times, then went upstairs to tell his teacher Ovisto and the legendary mage Antonia, who had always cared for and taken care of him, the good news.

"Since you have been successfully promoted, you should also have your own extraordinary characteristics, what exactly will they be?
  Is it a common attribute improvement, or some other magical ability?
  Of course, if you feel you need to keep it confidential, you don’t have to tell us, but this is indeed a curious thing, so maybe you can tell us and take a look at the details together. "

Ovisto and Antonia happened to be gathering in the small conference room upstairs to discuss matters. When Roland came up, they ignored those trivial matters and asked with a bit of curiosity.

"There's nothing to keep secret."

Roland, who had been reborn, felt the phantoms of stars and the projection of the godhead reflected in his spiritual world, and said slowly.

"After my promotion, my most prominent attribute has changed from intelligence to perception, because my power comes from the line of soul resonance, which is essentially similar to that of a priest!"

"Soul resonance? Priest? Divine magic?"

Antonia and Orvisto were a little surprised when they heard this.

In the world of sword and magic, in addition to elves and dragons, there is another topic that can never be avoided, and that is gods.

Gods are objective entities and can exert influence on the material world through priests who believe in themselves.

Good, evil, lawful, chaotic, gods of different alignments and temperaments have different rules of conduct, which directly affects the church and believers.

With gods as the center, the magical power obtained based on the blessings of the gods is called divine magic. This is a system parallel to arcane magic.

However, similar things have not never happened. In history, there have been many archmages with powerful resonance abilities, even enough to work part-time as priests.

"This should be the gift of a natural priest. It seems that if you were born in an area where religion governs the country, you would also be a papal talent!"

Antonia commented on this.

Ovisto said: "Indeed, the most important attribute in the magical system is perception. Perception determines the intensity of the priest's spells, the number of spells cast per day, and even the difficulty of the opponent's resistance to his spells.

But just getting an improvement in perception attributes is meaningless without the approval of the gods.

The magic potion ‘Celcidano’s Feeling’ cannot adjust the frequency of soul resonance and cannot change a person’s inherent nature.

It is precisely this inherent frequency, or disposition, that determines the difficulty of resonance.

If explained from a theological perspective, it is whether a person's inherent soul characteristics, mind, values, and various orientations are consistent with the gods he believes in. "

Roland said with a smile: "Looking at myself now, the biggest feeling I feel is that I feel like I am a part-time pastor.

However, this is more like the reaction of druids or rangers to the nature of heaven and earth, rather than belief in a certain god. "

It was not easy for him to explain Siris's soul resonance to the two of them, so he could only generally attribute it to natural beliefs and the connection between heaven and man.

"As for the benefits brought by this soul resonance..."

As his thoughts flowed, a flame like golden light appeared in Roland's palm, slowly revealing the word "ding" plated with flowing fire and gold.

That is the rune mark that manifests the magic power, the Seris rune (divine rune) that appears in the material world.

Roland clearly felt that when the character "Ding" appeared in his palm, his sense of the true meaning of the word "Ding" suddenly burst out, as if he had a sense of law flowing and being mastered at will.

"This is exactly the mastery of the true meaning of the law brought about by my extraordinary trait - 'Soul Resonance', which gives specific rune spells law-level abilities!

In this way, not only ordinary elemental and physical attacks can be given 'real damage', but even control spells and amplification spells can also achieve 'real effects'! "

As he spoke, he threw the golden words in his palm forward, and the power turned into a spell fell on Antonia.

Antonia's expression moved slightly, but she did not react.

As a result, his complexion suddenly changed slightly.

"It's really a real effect!"

He felt that his legendary body, which had been transformed into laws, was impacted by the power of laws at the same level.

The "Power Word: Concentration" just now ignored the spell resistance he had solidified for himself and took full effect!
  "This means that you can keep most of the rune spell effects within a guaranteed range and will not be easily blocked by spell resistance or protection effects.

The resistance of warriors, the lifting effect brought about by the impact of fighting spirit, etc. will all be suppressed by the law level!
  Although from a numerical point of view, the improvement that this characteristic can bring is far less than those methods that increase the effect of spells or enhance one's own magic power, it is undoubtedly more effective in high-level professions or various spell attacks. To be beneficial. "

Ovisto was surprised.

He knew that no matter whether it was a mage, a warrior, a priest, or a druid, all kinds of professions that had reached a high level would more or less master the means to resist or eliminate the opponent's spell ability.

Many low-level spells contain weak power and can be easily restrained.

But with the true meaning of the law attached, it can be given a special quality with real effects, easily penetrating shields and ignoring resistance.

By making good use of this characteristic, Roland can even be qualified to challenge the gods!
  ……

Not long after, in the mansion at No. 10, Avenue des Champs.

Roland brought Atali back here and fell asleep as soon as they got into bed, having a good night's rest. It wasn’t until I woke up the next day and communicated with the Magic Network during meditation that I discovered that the corresponding permissions had been automatically opened, and my permission template under the Magic Network system had also been upgraded to the corresponding level.

For a long time, in the Arcane Empire's magic network system, permissions were switched on and off in the previous stages through verification or special authorization.

But starting from the seventh level, when life steps into the true transcendence, it can elevate its power to a certain extent and go deep into the core.

Because this is essentially the induction of the source of magic power, if the entire magic network is compared to a god, it will naturally give preferential treatment to high-level mages.

At this stage, the mage is subject to fewer restrictions, at least not easily closed by the management office, thereby completely losing the ability to cast spells.

Of course, the quotas brought by job titles, rewards, etc. will still be limited.

In addition to the increase in authority level, Roland also found that his corresponding quota had increased a lot.

Those available spells are the result of earning the Arcane Star Award.

The number of usable spells from level 0 to level 8 has been increased by 2 times each, but you still need to learn it by yourself in order to obtain permission to cast spells.

There is only one level 9 spell, which belongs to the special quota and is not restricted by this license.

Roland's heart moved slightly, and he connected his mental power to the quota, and immediately understood that the "retrospective vision" he needed had arrived.

He thought of the conversation he had with Antonia and his teacher Ovisto yesterday.

That happened after discussing the topic of extraordinary traits and then discussing the choice of special quotas.

"Roland, now that you have been promoted and understand what your extraordinary qualities are, it's time to determine your special quota.

The Magic Network Management Office is still urging us to go through the process. "

"Your Excellency, those mages who won the Arcane Star Award in the past were already at a high level and knew their own path.

Roland is still young, so there is no need to be so fast. "

"Ovisto, you don't have to speak to him. I believe Roland should have a choice by now, don't you think so, Roland?"

"Indeed, I've already thought about it."

"Oh? Are you going to choose "Prayer"? As mentioned before, from "Limited Wish" to "Pray", this series of spells is completed. "

"No, I'm going to change it to something else."

"Oh?"

Antonia and Orvisto were both curious.

Roland explained: "I am now convinced that I can master the "Prayer Technique" by my own efforts, so there is no need to waste the special quota on this choice. "

Ovisto said with a smile: "I agree with your statement, maybe we can consider the "Gate to Another World".

After you master this spell, I can entrust you with the summoning contracts and the knowledge about the Hell Demon God that I have mastered, so that you can master the same summoner abilities as me. "

Roland smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, teacher, but I don't plan to choose the "Gate to Another World".

There are various other level 9 spells, such as "Time Stop", "Mage Disintegration", "Abyss Legion", "Dominate Monsters", "Undead Scourge", etc., with various functions and practicalities.

But some of them are useless for me to enter a higher level in the future, and they cannot help me live forever.

So I would rather give up those and choose "retrospective vision" that can see the past! "

"Oh? Level 9 prophecy spell "Retrospective Vision"? "

"Yes, this is preparation for my own legendary career choice, 'History Recorder'!"

"Your legendary career...want to become a 'historical recorder'?"

Only then did Antonia and Orvisto understand that Roland really had high aspirations and had already been preparing to become a legend in the future.

In this world where archeology also relies on magic, spells such as "Language Knowledge", "Summoning of the Dead", "Legend Knowledge" (legends about a person, a place or an object), "Spiritual Sight", etc. are An essential tool for identifying ancient texts and learning about regional legends.

"Alien Detection", a spell that can ask questions to entities from another world, is comparable to Blue Star's previous life of directly calling archaeological experts and top professors in related fields...

As for the level 9 spell "Retrospective Vision", you can even see the historical images related to them through the connections between things!
  The archeology of this world is actually quite mysterious.

If it is said to be developed, how can it be said that it is not developed?

But when it comes to underdevelopment...

With such magical means, what is the need and significance for the development of general archeology?
  Like the historian system, pictures and texts, various classics and records of historical events are constantly being annihilated and lost.

If those big figures who have mastered high-level means are not interested in a certain period of history, then many things will be sealed in the long river of time and remain unknown.

Roland proposed that using card games to carry the function of "recording history" is no accident.

From the beginning, he wanted to transfer the historian system of Siris and record it for civilization.

This will also be the only way for the Seris language to absorb nutrients in this magical world and accumulate historical and cultural soil.

Roland had studied time magic before, but he didn't think he would have any chance or means to learn these spells on his own in a short time.

Then, under the premise that there is an Elder Scroll of "Time Standstill" as a reference, it would be wiser to learn "Retrospective Vision" with a special quota, and then bypass "Time Standstill".

And when the "Prayer Technique" is also mastered...

When you become an archmage, you will be able to master a variety of level 9 spells.

This will also be the choice to maximize returns.

Moreover, Roland actually did not fully confirm it.

His extraordinary trait "Soul Resonance", in addition to strengthening the "resonance across the universe" and endowing the Seris runes with laws, seems to also have an effect on the mana and the source of magic in this universe.

This effect seems to greatly enhance the prophecy spells related to linguistics.

Combined with "Retrospective Vision", there may be additional miraculous effects!
  Thinking of this, he focused his magic power on his eyes, chanted the spell, and tried to use this level 9 spell.
