"The Holy Insect Control Method".

It’s not easy indeed.

This is a genuine wizard's book.

This is how Levi felt while studying this secret technique these days.

The author of this codex is unknown, but there is no doubt that the author is the master of the insect school of wizardry mentioned by Tutankhamun.

The content of this notebook is profound and extensive. For Levi, it is more difficult to comprehend than the breathing method inheritance diagram.

Many of these terms are completely incomprehensible unless you are a senior researcher in the insect school.

In Levi's opinion, this is obviously a professional book for professional entomology wizards.

It's not something that a half-baked wizard apprentice like me can comprehend in a short time.

“I found a treasure.”

Levi was delighted.

Although Levi has not yet fully understood the other contents.

But there is no problem regarding the sacred scorpion.

After all, the Scorpion Family can understand it, so of course there is no problem for me too.

According to the classification of all alien insects in the multidimensional plane in "The Holy Insect Control Method", the alien insects in the world can be divided into three categories.

High-level alien insects often come from certain multiverses. They are very powerful and wizards dare not provoke them easily. If there are too many of these alien insects, it will be the most terrifying insect plague in the world and wizards will have to retreat.

Medium-sized alien insects are also relatively rare. Many of them are hybrids of visitors from the multidimensional space and the Zerg of this world.

The lower-level alien insects are actually some ancient insect creatures in this world, such as the sacred scorpion.

It is a well-known poisonous insect.

The sacred scorpion itself is the most poisonous creature in the world.

The Tears of the Human-Faced Spider that Levi refined requires the poison of the Holy Scorpion.

But the most powerful thing about this holy armor scorpion is that its shell is extremely hard and invulnerable to swords and guns. It can also bite off black air and even devour souls.

If this poisonous insect devours the soul, there is a small probability that it will evolve its own life level if it undergoes continuous screening, elimination, and iteration.

It is possible to evolve from low-level alien insects to medium-level alien insects, or even high-level alien insects.

Of course, this requires a long cultivation process.

Generally speaking, no wizard would do such a thankless task.

Because a single sacred scorpion has limited strength.

The sacred scorpions must be in large groups to create considerable power.

And if one wants to cultivate a large group of evolved holy armor scorpions, the time, energy, material resources and financial resources required are unimaginable.

Therefore, wizards of the Insect School prefer to directly seek out those advanced alien insects for cultivation.

"It doesn't matter. I have patience anyway."

After seeing this, Levi felt that this Holy Insect Controlling Technique was not simple.

It suits me very well too.

If one day, I use the proficiency panel to breed tens of thousands of evolved holy armor scorpions, then with a wave of my hand, the army of poisonous scorpions will cover the sky and devour everything.

If you want to use human wave tactics, you have to play Zerg.

This is a living natural disaster.

"good."

Levi was comprehending the method of controlling the holy insect.

The bag used to hold the sacred scorpion is called the "bug house".

The insect house can be considered a magical weapon to some extent.

It is also a kind of space magic weapon similar to the "Bag of Gluttony".

It’s just that the Bag of Gluttony is a creation of the School of Death.

The insect house is a creation of the insect school.

This magical weapon has only one function.

The pets of the wizards of the insect school.

That is, those bugs.

Of course, the Bug House is a little more advanced than the Bag of Gluttony.

Because in addition to storing alien insects, insect houses can also be used to store other things, as long as you don’t worry about your things being eaten by insects.

"Interesting. It's like I have two storage props. In any case, the Bug House is more reliable than the Bag of Gluttony. I can put my important things in the Bug House. I just have to make sure that the poisonous insects I put in won't devour the things in the bag." Levi was delighted.

There are more than a hundred sacred scorpions in the insect house now.

Opening the insect house requires a formula, which Levi has already memorized.

Levi placed his important things, such as a hammer and a large amount of gold, in the insect house.

The sacred scorpion eats flesh and souls, not metals, so there is no need to worry about being eaten.

At the same time, Levi took out a sacred scorpion from the insect house and placed it in his palm.

He used black energy to grab the Holy Armor Scorpion, and the Holy Armor Scorpion kept struggling in his hands.

And used its sharp mouthparts to gnaw at Levi's black energy defense.

"Wow, amazing! What is this mouth made of? Even a knife can't cut my black scales, but this mouthpart can bite me. Although it can only bite off a little bit, if there are a lot of them, it will definitely be terrifying." Levi looked at these poisonous insects curiously.

He planned to try the method of controlling the holy scorpion in the "Holy Insect Control Method".

There are two ways to control the Holy Scorpion.

The first one is the blood control method. Simply put, it is to continuously feed the holy armor scorpion with your own blood once a day. The advantage of this is that the effect is relatively fast, and the disadvantage is that it hurts the body. Moreover, as the number of holy armor scorpions increases, it is obviously impossible to feed the holy armor scorpions with blood every day. In any case, Levi will not do this. Over time, it will definitely hurt his body, which is not worth the loss.

The Scorpion Family uses this simplest method to control the Holy Armor Scorpion.

Levi plans to use the second method, the method of divine control.

As the name suggests, it is a method of using one's own mental power to control the scarab.

This is the most authentic way to control it. After all, wizards practice spiritual power, and controlling it with mental power is the most appropriate method.

However, using mental power to control the Holy Armor Scorpion also requires the use of corresponding spells.

The authentic insect school's spell for controlling the scarab scorpion is called "Scarab Touch".

This is a proper first-level spell, and it is obvious that Levi cannot perform it.

Although this Holy Insect Control Spell seems to record the "spell model" of this first-level spell.

But for Levi, who had no foundation in magic, that thing was just like calculus for a liberal arts student, he couldn't understand it at all.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing.

Barely controlled with a zero ring trick.

Levi thought it was feasible when combined with his own wild heart.

If it really doesn't work, use the traditional method of blood control.

This zero-ring trick is called "insect taming".

It sounds like the art of insect taming is very grand, but in fact, the earliest inventor of this trick was a wizard apprentice who had trouble making it in the wizarding world. After returning to the human world, no one knew how he came up with the idea of ​​creating a trick by taming poisonous insects as a juggling skill in the circus.

Trick, trick.

Generally speaking, the power is not that great.

Therefore, the effect of this insect-controlling technique is much worse than that of a regular first-level spell.

However, the art of taming insects is very simple to learn and easy to get started.

Over time, it became a must-learn trick for some apprentice wizards of the insect school.

Levi looked at the spell model of insect taming.

This kind of simple spell model is basically carved on a plane. Because of its simple structure, it can be displayed on a two-dimensional plane.

According to Tutankhamun, complex and high-level spells and spell models are all displayed in three-dimensional form inside the crystal ball.

That way the full complexity of the spell model can be revealed.

So, according to some bards, wizards always hold a crystal ball in their hands and look at it boredly.

In fact, this is the wizard comprehending the spell model.

However, the art of taming insects is not a complicated spell. It is just the simplest trick, only slightly more advanced than the street acrobatics of charlatans.

In any case, this is also a challenge for Levi.

Before this, Levi had never learned any magic and had no systematic teacher.

Therefore, he had no idea whether he could successfully construct the spell model of insect taming.

In the following period of time, Levi even stopped practicing the breathing method, and his daily work was only left with practicing meditation and comprehending the spell model of insect taming.

At least I have a guide, Teacher Tutankhamun.

Although Tutankhamun himself was not well-trained, as a wizard apprentice during his lifetime, he had mastered some magic tricks and was quite experienced in constructing magic models for magic tricks.

With Tutankhamun's explanation, Levi had a preliminary understanding of the construction of spell models.

The so-called spell model is similar to setting up a program and writing code.

Levi needs to constantly observe the spell model, and then use the mental power in his mind to construct the spell model in his mind.

This stage is called "model architecture".

This is the basis of learning spells. Only when you have mastered the spell model can you perform subsequent spell casting.

Building this model architecture on some weapons or props is the key step for wizards to refine magical weapons: "solidification".

Of course, the prerequisite for solidification is that you have mastered this spell model in advance.

Moreover, not all spell models can be solidified on items, only some can.

The art of insect taming can be solidified. If Levi masters the spell model of insect taming, he can solidify this spell on some special materials. For example, he can refine an "insect flute", which can barely be considered a magical weapon.

At that time, you only need to operate the insect flute to control the sacred scorpion.

However, spell solidification is a skill only possessed by formal wizards.

Even if a wizard apprentice has mastered a magic trick, he cannot solidify it on a magic weapon.

The spell model of the Insect Taming trick has only three major structures.

It looks like a "triangle".

However, this is not a simple triangle, there are actually many important spell nodes on it.

All these spell nodes must be constructed in the mind one by one, and finally form a stable "triangle" spell model, which is the first step of constructing the spell model.

The more advanced the spell, the more complex the model.

From triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons to the final complex polygons, hexagrams, and octagrams, the higher the level of the spell, the more complex the structure of the model, and the number of nodes involved will also increase dramatically.

Just for this simplest insect-controlling technique, Levi looked at it and found that there were dozens of spell nodes he needed to construct.

Tutankhamun said that a complex trick has nearly a hundred nodes.

This reminded Levi of the little man pattern in the breathing method inheritance diagram. It seemed that the two had the same purpose in this respect.

Formal spells have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of nodes. The higher the level, the more nodes there are, and the more complex the spells are.

What Levi could foresee was that just constructing a model of a complex spell would take wizards years or even decades to build.

This is equivalent to building a building in your mind. The more complex the spell, the higher the floors. You can imagine how difficult it is.

Of course, Levi doesn't need to worry about this right now.

He only needs to build these dozens of nodes and construct the insect-controlling model honestly, which will be a major breakthrough.

Levi's contemplation lasted for a month.

During this month, Levi didn't even practice breathing techniques.

He practiced meditation day and night, and then comprehended the spell model of insect taming.

After a month of hard work and forgetting to eat and sleep, Li Wei only built half of the nodes.

The difficulty of learning magic gave Levi a deep warning.

He didn't know if it was because he was a beginner or if it would be like this in the future.

If I continue at this pace, it will be very difficult for me to become a formal wizard.

It wasn't until he asked Tutankhamun that Levi was completely relieved by Tutankhamun's answer.

“If a wizard can build his first spell model in a month, even if it is the simplest trick, then he is an absolute genius in spell model construction.

The first construction will definitely be slower, because it is a process from scratch, but it will get much better later. Of course, some complex spell models will still consume a lot of time, so wizards will always have things to do. "

This reassured Levi that his construction speed was not slow.

Considering that he had no formal wizard as a mentor, he felt that he was a little wizard genius.

So what if I am the Son of Chaos? My ability to understand spell models is still very good.

During this period, Knight Anderson came to the castle to find Levi again.

However, Levi had been in seclusion, so he told his subordinates that he would not meet anyone who came to see him.

Knight Anderson did not disturb him and continued to wait for Levi in ​​the Flower City.

As a vampire with a long lifespan, he has plenty of patience.

He felt more and more that the owner of the Black Snake Castle was not a simple person.

So he really wanted to meet this young man.

Inside the Black Snake Castle.

Levi devoted himself to the construction of the spell model.

In the second month, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his speed in building nodes seemed to have improved a bit.

From building a node in one and a half days in the beginning, to building a node basically every day now.

“Practice makes perfect, that’s the truth.”

Levi was delighted and struck while the iron was hot.

Meditate, build, meditate, build…over and over again.

Finally, at the end of the month of North Wind in the year 1015 of the Holy Hui Calendar.

In Levi's mind, a sophisticated and mysterious spell model lit up like a star.

If Levi's mind is compared to a star map, then this spell model is like a constellation connected by starlight.

After nearly two months, the spell model for insect taming was finally successfully constructed!

This was a great encouragement to Levi.

Without a mentor, I actually managed to comprehend a spell model on my own.

Levi, you are worthy of it!

Levi gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Of course, he did not become complacent because of this.

"Constructing a spell model is only the beginning of spell training. Next, if you want to become more proficient, more accurate, and more powerful in spell casting, you need to improve through continuous spell casting practice."

The practice of magic is similar to the practice of seals.

There is no shortcut to improving proficiency, and that is to practice casting spells continuously.

Of course, if it is a Son of Elements, when practicing magic, the speed of practice will definitely be faster than that of a Son of Chaos like Levi.

Thanks to their affinity for a single element, they can practice the meditation and spells of the corresponding elemental faction with divine help.

However, spells from the insect school such as insect taming do not belong to old schools such as the elemental faction.

It is closer to new schools such as the School of Life, the School of Death, and the School of Alchemy.

The greatest significance of the birth of the new school is to provide a way out for most ordinary wizards with the talent of the Sons of Chaos.

Because compared to the old elemental schools, they have the lowest requirements for elemental affinity talents.

Of course, the lowest requirements do not mean no requirements.

To become a wizard, one must at least have the talent of a child of chaos.

Because, whether it is the new school or the old school.

Originally, they all rely on the four great creation wills of earth, fire, wind and water!

It’s just that relatively speaking, the old school relies heavily on elemental affinity, while the new school relies little on elemental affinity.

After successfully constructing the spell model of insect taming.

Levi opened the proficiency panel.

He discovered that a new skill had appeared on the proficiency panel.

Levi——

Insect Taming: Level 1 (1/1000)

…

"Perfect! As long as you are on my proficiency panel, I will work you to the limit sooner or later!" Levi was confident.

The next step is easy. Just practice the insect-controlling spell step by step.

The practice of insect taming does not require any spell materials.

You just need to use your mental power to constantly communicate and get along with the poisonous insects you are controlling.

Levi took out a holy scorpion, and his mental power flowed along the constructed insect-controlling spell model and turned into a vague connection. He instantly felt that he had an invisible hand, or the will of all things similar to the mother tree on the planet Pandora in Avatar.

This is the advanced version of the Wild Heart, which allows Levi to directly use his spirit to communicate and connect with the Holy Scorpion.

Of course, the advantage of the Wild Heart is that it can be used on all kinds of wild beasts, but the object of communication and connection of the Insect Taming Technique can only be alien insects, and ordinary insects will not work.

Every profession has its own specialties, there is no distinction between good and bad.

Soon, Levi sensed the emotions of the Holy Scorpion. Sometimes it was confused and chaotic, and sometimes it was violent and crazy.

With Levi's comfort, the Holy Scorpion gradually calmed down.

Levi tried to remove the black air and gently touched the holy armor scorpion with his hand.

The sacred scorpion did not attack Levi.

"Successful, initial control successful." Levi was delighted.

At the same time, the system prompt came.

[Proficiency in insect taming +1].

"Open the liver!"

Having mastered his first spell in life, from now on, Levi can be considered a true low-level wizard apprentice!
