  Chapter 102 Learning to spell

It didn't take long before Rhodes came to a huge tower.

Rhodes knew that, according to the map, this was the location of the Magic Guild in the Academy. Inside this tower, there is a place to buy spell scrolls and learn spells.

The Dark Raven Spell Academy itself has its origins in the Magic Guild, which is also the headquarters of the Academy. Even if the Academy grows, its status will not change.

Located at the heart of the Academy, this tower outstrips the other buildings around it, both in terms of footprint and height. Half of the tower was shrouded in black clouds, and it wasn't until Rhodes approached that he could see it clearly.

Rhodes needs to replace most of the gold coins on him with a suitable spell here.

During the trip to the City of Sorrows, Rhodes took an inventory of all the belongings in the space ring. Rhodes has a total of nearly 3,000 gold coins, and there are 8 low-grade crystals and a few gems left.

As soon as he entered the magic guild, Rhodes looked towards the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge skull. The height of the skull even exceeded that of Rhodes, and the two large black hole-like holes in the eye sockets looked straight at everyone who entered the magic guild.

Just above this skull, hangs a candle chandelier, which is enchanted by magic and emits a pale fire, illuminating the interior of the hall. The surrounding walls are covered with black patterns, and various lines connect the entire hall together.

Rhodes walked towards the interior of the hall, and as he passed the giant skull in the center, Rhodes took a deep look at it.

If it is an ordinary undead mage, when you enter this magic guild for the first time, you may think that the skull in front of you is only created by the undead mage. There is no such a huge creature on the continent. It is placed here only to deter the undead mage that enters it.

But Rhodes knew that the skull in front of him was actually the head of a dead Titan.

The Titans once had a glorious civilization, but they were all annihilated in the long river of history. No one knows why the Titan Giant Clan died, after so many years, only the legend of the Titans circulates on the continent.

The mage of Brakada has always believed in the existence of the Titans, and countless mages have tried to create the most powerful titan puppets, but only a few have succeeded.

Rhodes was convinced that the skull in front of him belonged to the head of a Titan, because Rhodes remembered that in the previous expansion, the complete bones of the Titan buried under the Academy were all summoned out.

Crossing the skull in front of him, Rhodes came to a room dedicated to buying spells.

A black robed youth was sitting inside the room. When Rhodes came forward, the youth took out a book that recorded the effects and prices of various spells and let Rhodes choose by himself.

In the books, most of the low-level spells that Rhodes knows are documented, and the acquisition price is clearly marked. Some low-level spells with great effects are not priced and require a special contribution to get them.

The fourth rank spell that Rhodes remembered, but not one of them appeared in the book. Even the fourth rank damage class spell, there is no record in the book.

Rhodes flips through the book in his hands as he thinks. It didn't take long to determine the spell I needed.

Rhodes has selected a total of four spells. Since sword technique is still a large part of Rhodes combat capability, Rhodes chose [Attack Acceleration] and [Bloodthirst Thaumaturgy] to improve melee strength.

Considering the war that will come soon, Rhodes chose spell [death ripple] due to the large number of enemies to face. Meanwhile, Rhodes chose a powerful spell [Blindness].

Among these spells, [Attack Acceleration] and [Bloodthirst Thaumaturgy] are First Rank, and the effect is simply to increase the speed attribute. Rhodes spent a total of 100 gold coins to get it.

[Death Ripple] is a Second Rank magic, which is the most beneficial group attack magic used by undead mage. It costs Rhodes 600gold coins. While [Blindness in both eyes] is both Second Rank, but because of its strong effect, it can almost reverse the record with this spell, and it takes 1500 gold coins to learn.

After confirming, Rhodes returned the book to the former black robed youth, and then took out the gold coin from the space ring. Since Rhodes had already packaged the gold coin in advance, although a large amount of gold was taken out at this time. coin is not scattered all over the place.

The young man took the gold coin and then led Rhodes to a quiet room at the back, where an old man was waiting.

After the young man explained a few words to the old man, the old man took out three parchments that recorded the spell, and let Rhodes transcribe them in the quiet room.

During this process, neither the young nor the old had any reaction to the bats on Rhodes, and it seemed that no matter what kind of creature appeared here, they would not have any objection.

Supplies for transcription have been placed in the quiet room. Rhodes entered the quiet room, took out Elliot's magic book from the space ring, and started transcribing.

Rhodes had just transcribed the contents of the scroll into the magic book, and then received the system hint.

"By transcribing spell scrolls, you have learned the First Rank spell [Attack Speed], [Bloodthirst Thaumaturgy], Second Rank spell [Death Ripple], [Blindness]."

“[Attack Acceleration Lv1]: First Rank Qi-type magic. Consumes 6 mana to increase the speed of a target by 2 points for 40 seconds. The upgrade requires EXP 10.”

“[Addictive] Blood Thaumaturgy Lv1]: First Rank Fire Element magic. Consumes 6 mana to increase the melee damage dealt by the selected unit by 10% for 40 seconds. The upgrade requires EXP 10.”

“[Death Ripple Lv1]: Second Rank Earth Element magic. Consumes 20 mana, and sends out a shock wave of death to attack all creatures except undead creatures, causing 25 points of damage. The upgrade requires EXP 40."

"[Both eyes Blindness Lv1]: Second Rank Fire Element magic. Consumes 10 mana to make the selected target lose sight, loses 20 health points, and restores vision for a maximum of 40 seconds. The upgrade requires EXP 20.”

Since The limitation of the number of gold coins, coupled with Rhodes itself does not have high level wisdom, therefore, Rhodes did not choose the more powerful third rank magic, but chose these magics.

After transcribing the spells, Rhodes got up, walked outside the quiet room, handed the scroll containing the spells back to the old man, and left from there.

At this point, Rhodes has completed a series of preparations, and then he intends to deal with the tasks previously undertaken.

Rhodes didn't pay attention. Behind him, the black robed youth, who had been guiding him when he bought spells, was staring at his back, with a faint wave of mana in his eyes.

After Rhodes left, the youth wrote down the words "suspected hero" on a piece of paper.
