Chapter 104 A Glimmer of Hope
Today, Shalan is already a high-level knight who has condensed thirty-three blood-colored life seeds. He is only one step away from becoming an extraordinary bloodline knight. However, in Shalan's heart, witchcraft still ranks before the knight's breathing method. As long as it is possible he will not miss the slightest possibility of pursuing higher-level witchcraft.
Looking at the three spells on the paper in his hand, the first one is the spell to control snakes, the snake taming spell.
Shalan was not surprised by this magic. During the previous archaeological process, he was a little puzzled as to why those poisonous snakes that would never attack people under normal circumstances would suddenly attack. When he knew that Sen was a sorcerer who had not yet reached the extraordinary level, he roughly guessed this possibility.
The second spell is an unnamed breath-concealing spell, which can be used to conceal one's breath and achieve the purpose of hiding. Apparently, Sen had avoided the attack of the gray-white giant snake by relying on this spell.
As for the third spell, which is also the last spell, it is the one that Shalan values the most among the three spells. It is called the boiling ray, which can shoot out a ray to make the target boil.
Of course, this only applies to liquids. It also has a certain effect on people and animals with blood in their bodies, but if it is shot at armor, stones, soil, etc., then it will have no effect at all.
But even so, it was enough to make Shalan feel happy. He had always felt that his long-range attack methods were too simple. The Black Thunder Gaze of the Black Thunder Eye was indeed powerful, but the mental power consumed was also very high. Shalan's current mental power could only release the Black Thunder Gaze once at most, while the consumption of this boiling ray was not high, which could enrich Shalan's long-range attack methods.
Some people may think that even if this boiling ray hits the human body, it will only cause burns and will not have much effect. However, if the part hit by the boiling ray is the eye, then it will immediately gain a huge advantage in the battle.
After memorizing everything on the three pieces of paper, Shalan looked at Sen and asked, "Sen, how many times can you use the boiling ray now?"
"Before being embraced by Lady Silaya, I could only use it once, but after being embraced by Lady Silaya, I can now use the boiling ray three times, and the power of the boiling ray has also increased slightly."
The power of a spell is naturally not static. For example, the same boiling ray, hitting the enemy's skin and causing a burn , can only annoy the enemy at most and not cause much damage. But if the area of the burn can reach half the size of the body, then there is no doubt that the enemy will immediately lose most of its combat effectiveness.
What Mori meant by power increase was the increase in the damaged area. Now, if he used boiling rays to attack the enemy, it could cause a burn as big as a human head, which was enough to cause great damage to the enemy.
Placing the three pieces of paper on the table next to the sofa, Shalan said to Sen: "You can deal with these three pieces of paper. You can burn them or keep them. It's up to you. I have memorized what is on them.
In addition, Silaiya, I have something for you to do. Collect as many herbs and potions as possible for me. Of course, collect as much as possible the potion materials inherited by Sen. I want the results in half a month."
"As you command, Master."
Taking the note handed over by Shalan, Silaiya looked at some of the materials on it and said to Shalan: "Master, these are all very common things you need. Can't you find these materials in a city as big as Xinxia City?"
"Silaya, this era is different from the era before you fell asleep. At least the materials that were very common in your era are definitely rare in this era."
Hearing this, Silaya nodded slowly and said nothing more. She just handed the note in her hand to Sen who was standing behind her. It would be most appropriate to let someone of this era do this kind of thing.
Seeing Silaiya's actions, Shalan didn't say much, but continued to talk to Silaiya: "Silaiya, Xinxia City has not been peaceful recently. I hope you can keep a low profile. Otherwise, once we attract the attention of the Secret Mobile Team, we will become passive and in trouble."
Silaiya understood the meaning of Shalan's words very well, so she immediately replied: "Master, I am already struggling to perform two First Embraces with my current strength, so I will not continue to perform First Embraces. As for Sen and Menghan, I can restrain them from doing anything impulsive, so please rest assured."
"That's good. At this critical juncture, it's best not to use these unconventional means. However, I don't mind using conventional means to expand your power. You can make your own decision. I won't interfere."
"Thank you, Master, for trusting me."
"Oh, by the way, the giant snake near the tower should be under your control, right?"
Nodding, Silaya said, "Yes, that giant snake is the offspring of my pet before I fell asleep. It's just that its size is too big, so I didn't bring it here, and let it live freely underground in the forest."
"Okay, let's do this first. But if you have time, let the giant snake go to the vicinity of Yuk New City first. I should be able to use it when I go to Yuk New City in the future."
A giant snake that can quickly burrow into the ground will bring a lot of convenience to Shalan in the future, especially when it comes to archaeological activities in ruins and tombs. Although there were many dangers encountered during the exploration of the Silk Tower this time, huge benefits were also gained. As the saying goes, once you taste the marrow, you will know the taste. Shalan can't wait to explore more ruins and tombs. As long as he can find some information about wizards in the ruins and tombs, it will be enough. If he can find one or two reliable witchcraft or meditation methods from them, it will be really a big profit.
Of course, these are all under the condition that things develop ideally. If things don’t go well, not only will you gain nothing, it is normal to even encounter various life-threatening dangers.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, if Shalan wants to embark on the path of a wizard, she can only rely on the excavation of ancient relics and ancient tombs to find that glimmer of possibility. Otherwise, in this world where wizards have completely disappeared, Shalan has no possibility of embarking on the path of a wizard at all!
