Chapter 274: Invisibility
"Is this good news or bad news?"
Mo Lan pondered.
“If I were Earl Red Maple, even if I didn’t mine this elemental metal ore, I would definitely remember its location. Even if I didn’t mine it myself, I could pass it on to my descendants.
But at the same time, Earl Red Maple would definitely kill most of those who knew the truth, leaving only a few people or only himself knowing the truth.
Because once this news leaks out, the elemental metal mine will be taken away, which will be a small matter, but the destruction of the family will be a big matter. I even have reason to suspect that Earl Red Maple did not leave any information on paper at all, and he completely relied on his own memory.
If you want to know, you can only ask Earl Hongfeng, but..."
Mo Lan looked at the square below the Mage Tower and fell into silence.
"Is it too late to summon the soul now? Can a body that has been crushed to ashes still be transformed into a spirit?"
Mo Lan fell silent and then shook his head.
"Forget it. Knowing there must be an elemental metal vein in the mountains is good news. When technology becomes more advanced, we will be able to find the vein sooner or later."
Mo Lan gathered his thoughts and continued looking at the list below.
"Seventeen point eight kilograms of Yang Shen Tea. Well, I know this one. It tastes good."
"A wood-type spiritual essence. The aura it emits has the effect of promoting the growth of plants. It's a consumable item, not bad."
"Eliminating Aura, a second-level spell that can eliminate the aura on the body and perfectly blend into the surrounding environment. Is this what Viscount Larsen used back then?"
"Dominate Humans, a fourth-level spell, can control the minds of non-professionals, making them obey the orders of the caster completely, even to the point of death. If the non-professionals have strong willpower, they may not be dominated or break free from control."
"Well, that's tasteless."
Mo Lan frowned as he looked at the spell model.
"It's fine that only a fourth-level spell can control ordinary people, but what does the following sentence mean?
Even ordinary people can only control those with weaker mental strength and willpower. Those who are slightly stronger may not be able to control or break free from control? "
Mo Lan thought quietly in his heart, and he probably understood why the level of the spell to control humans was so high, but the effect was so poor.
The spell of dominating humans should have a similar effect to the spell of dominating beasts. The effect of the spell depends on the soul strength and toughness of the dominated object.
Humans are born with relatively powerful souls, and many of them are strong-willed, so it is naturally very difficult to control them.
"To be able to control someone means you must have overwhelming power, but if you have overwhelming power, why bother using magic to control them? And you can only control people with weak wills . There are countless ways to control people. Do you need to use magic?
Well, except for some specific situations, this fourth-ring spell is useless in most situations.
But... maybe I can do some research to see if I can create a way to strengthen my will and defense.
Although I don't use this magic to control others, I still have to be on guard against others."
Mo Lan pondered for a moment.
“Maybe I’m not afraid, but my family and friends may not have that kind of strength.
I will definitely meet a powerful opponent . If my family and friends are controlled by similar means..."
Mo Lan didn't dare to think about it and made a silent decision in his heart.
"We need to develop some triggering spell scrolls, for mental, physical, magical, and escaping spells. Hmm, we need to make arrangements."
Mo Lan flipped through the items one by one, and he suddenly realized that just reading the catalog and introduction could greatly broaden his horizons.
While flipping through the book, many new things and new concepts entered Mo Lan's brain, making him realize that there was such a means, such a method, and such an object. This seemed to have freed Mo Lan from the shackles of his thinking.
An endless stream of inspiration emerged from Mo Lan's mind. Mo Lan was addicted to this feeling, addicted to this state, and directly used a pen to record one inspiration after another.
With a long catalog and thick reviews, Mo Lan took two full days to finish reading it all.
After reading it, Mo Lan had a concrete impression of the association's entire wealth. He knew exactly what it was, what it was used for, what it could do, and what effects it could achieve.
And there is also some special wealth, or knowledge wealth, in these directories.
Those were piles of spell models, precious spell models stored in the treasury of noble families.
There are a total of two fifth-ring spell models, nineteen fourth-ring spell models, and countless third-ring spells.
Mo Lan looked at the huge number of spell models and suddenly felt the true strength of the association.
Mo Lan didn’t think that the number of mages in the association and the number of mage towers they had was very strong, just average.
But when he actually saw the knowledge accumulating bit by bit and filling up one bookshelf after another, Mo Lan sincerely felt that the association was becoming stronger little by little.
"Have someone translate all these spell models, and also bring up the spell models of two fifth-ring spells for me."
These spell models are still in the bloated and complicated state preserved by the nobles, and have not been transformed into a three-axis coordinate system. A translation is required to see the simplest spell model.
"good."
When Xu Zongxin took the catalog away, he also brought up two fifth-ring spells, namely invisibility and intermediate healing.
Mo Lan first converted it into the corresponding points in the three-axis coordinate system bit by bit, and then drew out the spell model bit by bit.
Mo Lan's speed was very fast, and the content on the white paper became more and more. After a while , a spell model took shape in Mo Lan's five-ring spell slot.
"Invisibility!"
With a flash of light, Mo Lan disappeared from the spot in an instant. Mo Lan looked down at himself, and a thin film seemed to appear on his body, isolating him from the outside world.
Not a trace of air leaked out, and the light shone directly from one side of the film to the other.
During the movement, the air passed through the film and appeared at the other end. No, it should be said that the film carried Mo Lan through the air. Although it was moving, it did not cause any air flow.
The thin membrane under his feet lifted Mo Lan up and slightly separated him from the ground. At this moment, Mo Lan seemed to feel as if he had disappeared.
"Xu Zongxin, Xu Zongxin, Xu Zongxin!"
Mo Lan stood in front of Xu Zongxin and shouted, but Xu Zongxin was unaware and continued to do his research with his head down.
Mo Lan fell into deep thought.
"Can the invisibility spell absorb all breath, fluctuations, and sounds? Then it's like I don't exist, won't cause air to flow, won't cause the ground to shake, won't leave footprints, um, this invisibility spell is so powerful!
It is indeed a five-ring spell!"
Mo Lan poked Xu Zongxin with his finger. The sudden feeling made Xu Zongxin a little suspicious. He became alert and his mental power spread out instantly to cover the surroundings. He explored carefully, but found nothing.
Mo Lan smiled.
