Chapter 31 Spell Test (Part 1)
"Finally reached the first level? Not bad! You have some of the style I had back then!"
"I'm so proud of you, my child!"
At breakfast the next day, at the long white table, Duke Carlotte was the first to praise Anvis, and Duchess Elena also spoke up to congratulate him.
"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!"
With the praise and blessings from his parents, Anvis naturally took the opportunity to express his gratitude.
"Congratulations on your advancement to the first level, brother."
Behind the Duke and Duchess, sitting opposite Anvis, a little girl wearing a light blue dress decorated with white wavy lace and with long light blonde hair falling to her waist spoke cutely.
She blinked her big, clear blue crystal eyes and looked at Avis happily, her face flushed and her tone a little excited, as if she was the one who had just advanced.
"Thank you for your congratulations, too, Fei."
With a smile as warm as the sun, Avis nodded to Fiona to express his gratitude.
He intended to use his every move in daily life to establish labels for himself such as knowledgeable, gentle and humble, and elegant in manners, and to shape himself into the image of a traditional aristocratic scholar.
Compared to his eldest and second brothers who are lords and have their own private power, and his third sister who is the leader of the Cold Wind Knights.
A scholar who concentrates his energy on study and research always appears more harmless.
Fiona didn't know what Avis was thinking, she just simply admired her brother.
You can understand all kinds of course knowledge immediately after listening to it, and even infer new content through previously learned knowledge.
Her daily demeanor is very elegant and she can handle everything with ease, as if she was born with an aristocratic demeanor.
After the classes were over every day, he would sit quietly in the library, reading those thick books with dense small characters, and even memorize them when his father asked questions! Looking back at myself, compared with my brother, I learn much slower, and sometimes I forget some etiquette...
I want to read books together, but I can't bear it. Wow! Those books are profound and boring. I don't know how brother Anweisi can read them!
Hmm... it seems that my talent is only slightly better than that of brother Avis. After all, I advanced last year... but the advancement process was a bit confusing.
The initial spells that my brother mentioned didn't seem to be constructed, except for the two spell models that appeared when I advanced... They should also be considered initial spells, right? Fiona couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when she counted to the end on her fingers. Her cute little nose wrinkled.
……6…
After a day of classes, Avis rarely went to the family library, but went to the spell testing ground in the castle. He wanted to test his power after reaching the first level.
The test field is located in an open area. According to the various types of magic, different test environments and targets are set up in the test field.
The Black Crystal Monument for testing the power of spells, living magical beasts of various levels, magic crystals, magic items for testing the effects of spells, as well as ordinary stones, wood and other common objects.
Since Avis wanted to experiment with magic, Leonard cleaned up the venue in advance, so there was no one in the venue at the moment.
Avis carefully activated the high-level protective and binding arrays engraved in the field to deal with the damage that might be caused by spell failure and out-of-control spells.
Every year there are many wild rookie mages, who are often lucky enough to obtain a meditation method or a mage's notes.
Then, he put in several times more hard work than an ordinary spellcaster apprentice and tried his best to join the ranks of official spellcasters.
However, due to insufficient inheritance and being overwhelmed by the excitement of breakthroughs, these wild mages are often impatient to test spells without any precautions.
The Magic Council had a spellcaster who had done a special experiment. When casting a spell for the first time in this state of mental excitement, the probability of spell collapse was as high as 70% to 80%! And when the spell collapses in this state of just advancing and not yet stable, the result is catastrophic. At the very least, the spiritual sea will be severely damaged, and at the worst, the person will die on the spot. This is one of the reasons why there are so few spellcasters who come from civilian backgrounds.
After entering the venue, Anvis did not directly activate the fog, but cautiously started with other spells.
After careful consideration, he chose Wind Blade as the first spell to test.
As a first-level spell with a very simple model, the power of Wind Blade is only average among spells of the same level, but its speed and concealment are very impressive.
After making sure that the defensive array was functioning properly, Avis leaned on his staff and spoke in a low voice, chanting a long string of obscure Gumani syllables in a strange tone.
The staff was an ordinary family-issued staff. After he officially advanced to the first level, the Duke gave him an ordinary spell book and a standard-issue staff so that he could become familiar with its use.
"Ao, ф~Jacn! do——ho——Avij! fl~Ogk, dor..."②As Avis chanted, the colorless crystal on the top of the staff glowed slightly, and a light blue transparent wind blade surrounded by a spiral airflow took shape in front of him.
"It's been a long time..."
Looking at the wind blade floating quietly in front of him, Avis inexplicably developed a contradictory feeling in his heart, seeming to be very excited, yet extremely calm.
From the perspective of an ordinary person in the previous life, this is the ecstasy of mastering unprecedented power.
From the perspective of a seventh-level magician, this is just an instinct like eating and drinking.
Shaking his head, suppressing his complicated emotions, Avis' mind moved slightly. The wind blade instantly accelerated and flew towards the translucent seven-prism crystal column in the field.
With a bang, the wind blade that hit the prism dissipated and turned into a turbulent flow.
The black crystal stele flickered slightly, and a bright red beam of light quickly rose from the transparent black body of the stele, and only stopped rising when it was close to two-thirds of the height of the stele.
This crystal monument was created by a ninth-level person in the Magic Council and can accurately measure spell damage below the ninth level.
Among them, the color of the light column is red, representing that the power of the spell is at the first level. Above that are orange light, yellow light, green light... until the eighth level of white light.
The height of the light column represents the power of the spell at the same level. The higher the height, the stronger the power. If the light column reaches the top of the crystal monument, it means that the power of the spell has reached the peak of the same level.
"Close to the power of the first-level advanced level? Not bad."
Avis nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied.
When he was at the same level as himself, the wind blade that little Avis emitted with the same amount of mental energy only had a power close to that of a first-level intermediate level.
Compared to the same period in his previous life, Avis's magic affinity and mental quality are much higher.
This is closely related to his high absorption rate of various treasures when he was young.
Due to the memory advantages brought by time travel and rebirth, Avis was able to consciously control his body when he was very young, and guide and absorb the power of various resources to better strengthen himself.
Instead of being like ordinary children, who can only passively accept the nourishment of resources and cause most of their strength to be lost in vain.
