I Became a Progenitor Vampire

It was already night when Li De returned to the Mage Tower. The hazy magic lamp lit up the Mage Tower in a very magical way, with a bit of a Harry Potter atmosphere.

He gave Laurent the task of trading with the Alex Chamber of Commerce, and selected several clever mage apprentices in the mage tower to follow him.

In the future, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce will become an important part of the Scarlet Mage Tower. These mage apprentices are the best labor force, and it is a good thing to let them contact them in advance.

On the seventh floor of the Mage Tower, the goddess of night has enveloped the entire world with her skirt.

Looking down at Green City from a high place, there is nothing like the brightly lit scene in modern times.

Scattered lights are only found in areas where nobles live. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed, and only a few are still open with oil lamps or magic lamps.

The streets were even more empty of pedestrians, and even beggars were unwilling to walk on the streets after dark.

The moon, half covered by white clouds, cast a hazy, cool light.

The noisy city during the day fell into silence.

The vampires are the favored children gifted by the goddess of the night.

Li De clearly felt that when the last light in the sky disappeared, his control over magic became active instantly.

The magic around you during the day is like mercury, and it requires more energy to mobilize. However, the magic at night seems to have turned into clean and gentle spring water. You only need to pull it at will, and the magic will be mobilized by mental power.

The magic power is still the same as before, but the increase in the power of the vampire in the dark night makes him more sensitive to the magic power, which is why he feels this way.

It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of the vampires after nightfall is at least 50% stronger than during the day.

Li De has long been accustomed to this situation, so he prefers to conduct his research on magic at night.

After several days of research, plus two hundred years of knowledge from the ancestor of the blood race, Li De had a deeper impression of magic.

If a mage wants to cast a spell, it must be done through a magic model.

The magic model is very similar to computer programming. You only need to enter a fixed formula to get the result directly.

The only difference is that the input required for the magic model is magic power.

A first-level spell has no more than 100 magic nodes, and the Mage's Hand has only 30 magic nodes.

Dozens of magic nodes form a model that operates according to fixed rules. After inputting magic power, the model is activated to obtain spells.

But Li De is very curious about this. Are the nodes of a magic model completely fixed and unchangeable? What will be the consequences if the magic nodes are moved?

The boldness of modern souls towards magic far exceeds the imagination of this era. The mages of the Glory World have awe of magic engraved in their bones.

Even the ancestor of the Time Blood Clan has never tried to change the magic model, because this not only requires a deep understanding of magic, but also requires a huge knowledge reserve and a heart that does not revere the goddess of magic.

Even in Green City, only the extraordinary mage has successfully improved the magic model. Even the three archmages above level 15 have not done research in this area.

After thinking about it in the past few days, Li De was ready to try the bold idea of ​​changing the magic node tonight.

However, in order to prevent accidents, he still made thorough preparations.

The first thing he wants to study is the first-level spell of Mage's Hand, because this spell is the simplest among all first-level spells...it only has 30 magic nodes.

Even many mages don't admit that this is a first-level spell, it can only be regarded as a trick.

Moreover, Mage's Hand is not an offensive spell. Even if the spell fails and there is a backlash, he can still withstand it.

The current mage's hand has a very single function and can only transform into a translucent giant hand.

The strength of the giant hand he transformed using this spell can reach about 150 pounds, and the magic power required is 10 points.

Ordinary mage apprentices are far from having this power. The strength of their giant hands after release is only more than ten pounds at most, which is far behind him.

But at the same time, these magic apprentices also consume 10 points of magic power. Although they all cast the same spell and consume the same magic power, the results are completely different.

This led to Li De's two other guesses about casting spells.

Does the deeper the magic power, the stronger the spells cast?

The higher the level, the higher the utilization rate of magic power.

Li De was full of interest in exploring these mysterious magics.

If the magic nodes are not fixed, can the magic model be improved by adjusting the magic nodes or the magic circuits between nodes to reduce magic consumption or enhance power.

What are the consequences of reducing or increasing magic nodes?

Li De's heart started beating faster when he thought of this, and he was full of curiosity about his idea.

It's like a child's favorite toy, but he is a practical person.

Start typing magic first.

Li De carefully observed the magic circuit starting from the magic input, from the first node to the last node.

After connecting 30 magic nodes, the model of the mage's hand took shape instantly. He could clearly sense that as long as he released this magic power, the mage's hand would be successfully released.

He did not release it, but slowly reduced the magic input. As long as there was always magic input, the magic model would always be activated and ready to cast spells.

Li De didn't stop reducing it until the magic power dropped to the limit of the magic model's operation. Any further reduction would cause the magic power to collapse.

The purpose of reducing the magic input is to minimize the damage if a backlash occurs. The purpose of activating the magic model is to more intuitively observe the role of the magic nodes in the magic model.

Next step.

Reduce magic nodes.

Li De was extremely focused. This was his first attempt.

After he came up with the idea of ​​improving the Mage's Hand, he cast it no less than a hundred times in the past two days in order to become familiar with this spell.

So he already knew the structure of this spell well.

He took the lead in numbering 30 magic nodes from 1 to 30.

The 23rd node and the 24th node are extremely close nodes in the Mage's Hand model. If one of them is removed, the magic circuit can completely bypass the magic power of this distance to connect to the next one.

If a magic node is removed, can the loss of magic power be reduced after casting a spell?

Removing a magic node is very simple. Control the magic circuit to avoid this node and directly connect to the next node to achieve the goal.

Li De slowly released his mental power and controlled the magic circuit to avoid the 23rd node, allowing the 22nd node to be directly connected to the 24th node.

Brush~

When the magic circuit bypassed the 23rd node, the entire magic model of the mage's hand shook, as if it was about to collapse at any time.

Li De was already prepared and did not panic too much. He slightly increased the input of magic power.

The shaking magic model was temporarily stabilized by the powerful magic power.

Just when Li De breathed a sigh of relief, there was a flash of light and the entire magic model collapsed.

Li De felt a pain in his head, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

First experiment.

fail.

Fortunately, the backlash from the mage's hand was not great, and the vampire's control over magic had strengthened at night. Li De returned to normal after resting for about ten minutes.

"No, the magic node cannot be removed if it is close to it. This magic node is probably the point that stabilizes the magic model.

So if it is stable, can we add another point parallel to this magic node to continue to strengthen the magic model? "

Subtracting one will cause collapse, but what about adding one?

Having been prepared for failure, Li De was not affected at all and continued to concentrate on inputting magic power into the mage's hand model again.

The magic node Li De added this time is parallel to the 23rd node and is used to connect 23 and 24.

Adding magic nodes is also very simple. You only need to concentrate your mental power on one point, leave a mark in your mind, and then use a magic circuit to connect the magic model. The extra points will be integrated into the magic model.

After adding the extra points, the magic model showed no signs of crashing like before, but instead ran normally.

Li De felt happy. It seemed that this idea was correct and the magic model was not immutable.

After running it for a few minutes, he was sure the model wouldn't crash.

A snap of the fingers.

Click~

A translucent mage's hand appeared in front of him.

But this mage's hand is completely different from the original version.

The original Mage Hand was a giant hand, and now the Mage Hand is like a freak.

Only three of the five fingers are left, and the arm has grown three times in size like a hammer. The whole spell is full of discordant weirdness.

Li De was not disappointed after seeing it, but was overjoyed.

"The spell can be cast successfully, and the magic model does not collapse after casting, which means that my assumption is valid."

Li De was greatly encouraged by this spell, which was far from being linked to success.

A successful spell cast means the direction is correct.

Since the direction is right, what is needed now is to continue to conduct improved experiments until he understands the role of each magic node, and improves and repairs it, turning this one-ring spell into a new spell.

Li De was full of interest and confidence in this.

Studying magic is so much fun. The joy of creating is almost beyond words.
