Lin En was fully focused, trying to empty the air around the red phosphorus as much as possible while using the principle of accelerating the movement of molecules to increase the temperature.

More than ten seconds later, wisps of white mist drifted out, gathered together under the restraint of magic, and then quickly cooled and solidified into a ball of translucent yellow powder.

This is white phosphorus! Knowing the horror of this thing, Lin En didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He held his breath and maintained the [Mage's Hand] throughout the process, and put the collected white phosphorus into the bag that originally contained [Red Fire Embers].

This storage bag, which is specially used to store magic materials, has a very good insulation effect and can effectively prevent white phosphorus from spontaneously igniting...

After doing all this, beads of sweat had already appeared on Lynn's forehead.

Completing such a tedious process was somewhat difficult for Lin En, who was still a wizard apprentice. If it weren't for the mental fusion during the time travel that greatly improved his control over magic power, this attempt would probably have ended in failure.

Fortunately, everything went as he expected.

Lin En put the storage bag away, and recalled the horrifying scene in his memory of the raging fire of white phosphorus burning the earth, and he couldn't help but shudder.

I just hope I don't need it...

As a man who grew up in a peaceful era, Lin En still has great respect for life, but he also knows that in this alien world where human life is worthless, in order to protect himself, he can only let his friends die rather than me...

"071!" After doing all this, Lin En silently shouted in his heart.

This has become his daily routine ever since the intelligent computer was forced to shut down five days ago.

Obviously, there was no response this time.

If it weren't for the magic power in his body slowly dissipating and being used to supply energy to the intelligent computer, Lin En would have doubted whether 071 had disappeared completely.

The intelligent brain is an important reliance for him to survive in this strange world. The fact that it can greatly improve his thinking ability after connecting to the neural network is enough to help him escape from many crises.

Not to mention that in that special state, he was able to transform magic power into elements and release magic without preparing materials in advance.

Thinking of the scene where his mentor Kelu performed the second-level magic [Mass Ice Blade], Lin En had a vague guess in his mind that the ability to use magic power to transform elements might be the key to distinguishing between a wizard apprentice and a formal wizard!

He was very sure that Carl, as an apprentice, was absolutely incapable of doing this, and there was no relevant memory in his brain. It was probably because of the mental fusion after the time travel, coupled with the help of the intelligent brain, that he was able to temporarily break through this layer of shackles...

Lin En pondered and entered into meditation, and the extremely magical elemental world appeared before his eyes again.

But at this moment, Lin En's attention was focused on the strange rune floating in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Inside the strange rune are countless tiny dots and lines, arranged in a very special way, which looks delicate and beautiful.

Lin En tentatively touched it with his mental power, and the rune instantly lit up.

Then, Lin En realized that the magic power in his body was reduced by one tenth at this moment. When he opened his eyes, a diamond-shaped [Ice Blade] appeared in his palm.

"This is a bit like... a spell slot?"

Lin En touched his chin and quickly thought of the spell slots mentioned in the book "Element Analysis".

In general, the process of constructing spell slots is a bit like programming work in the previous life. You set various parameters in advance, and then press the confirmation button when needed to export the results immediately.

So the arrangement of this rune probably means: one equal part oxygen + two equal parts hydrogen + reduced molecular speed + special configuration = Ice Blade?

Well, I have to say, this is very scientific! Lin En tried several other magics with interest, but surprisingly, no new spell slots were formed.

After thinking about it, Lin En quickly guessed the reason. In order to construct the corresponding spell slot, he would probably need to perform a complete cast of a first-level magic without the aid of spell materials.

Thinking of this, Lin En had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​continuing to solidify his spell positions. Without the support of the auxiliary intelligent brain, there was still a big gap between him and a formal wizard.

Lin En looked up at the sky outside. It was probably time to meet those wizard apprentices...

Today is Monday, and also the last day of our appointment! …

The Drunkard Tavern is located in the most prosperous area of ​​​​Ule Town.

If Lin En hadn't followed the secret marks all the way here, he would never have imagined that Johnny would choose this place for the meeting.

And seventeen coppers is exactly the price of a glass of Guluo wine! Is this considered a dark place under the lamp? Lin En secretly complained in his heart, but as soon as he opened the door, his brows could not help but frowned.

As a gathering place for the lower class, the interior of the Drunkard Tavern was very lively. The roaring fire dispelled the cold night wind, and the space of less than 100 square meters was packed... The wooden floor was covered with wine stains and vomit, and the strong fishy smell almost suffocated Lin En.

At the long table at the entrance of the tavern, a drunken halfling saw Lin En coming in at a glance. Seeing that he was young and a stranger, he shouted loudly with ill intention.

"Boy, why don't you come and have a drink with me?"

Lynn turned his head and looked at the drunken halfling with a probing look.

Halflings are a species unique to this continent. They are called this not because they have only half a body, but because of their short stature, about half the height of an adult, like a dwarf.

However, these people are not the product of genetic defects, but another real ethnic group. Each halfling is strong and powerful, with muscles all over their bodies as if they were born naturally, a bit like the dwarves in previous Western fantasy works.

I just don’t know what the body structure and genetic composition of these halflings are like, and how they are different from humans.

Lin En's instinct as a data storage clerk is stirring...

The drunken halfling shuddered under Lin En's inquiring gaze, and felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to his heart.

Five years ago, in Nordland, he had a meeting with the notorious Skullcutter Luke.

He was a vicious thug who took great pleasure in cutting people into pieces.

Lin En's gaze was very similar to Luke's at that time. In his eyes, he seemed like a corpse waiting to be dissected...
