Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 355 Overlap Effects

  Noyce left the palace in a daze. He didn't prop up the shield, and let the high-altitude wind blow towards his face with icy cold air.

  ‘Only the Supreme Council can deal with the real gods…’

  He understood what his grandfather meant.

  Yes, the real core battlefield of this war with the gods has never been in the city of Neustadt.

  Whether it is an ordinary person or a low-level wizard, to the Supreme Councilor who has lived for at least thousands of years, it is just a crop of weeds that will grow again in the coming year.

   Shuttled through the clouds for a while, Neuss quickly returned to the city of Neustadt.

  He was suspended in mid-air, quietly looking at the city shrouded in night in front of him.

   It seemed that the cold wind had stiffened his face, and the confusion on Noyce's face slowly turned into a stone-like coldness.

  He didn't say anything, just exhaled lightly, put up the shield again, and prepared to return to his castle.

   At this moment, Noyce suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the street below from the corner of his eye. His heart moved, and he suddenly flew down.

   Shua!

   "Lord Noyce?"

  A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, Colin was slightly startled, his body tensed subconsciously.

  After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, he tensed his body before relaxing slightly, and hurriedly greeted him, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

  It is now late at night, and I have just been allowed to leave the school, and I will be returning home soon... Noyce, why did he suddenly appear in front of me at this time?

   "Excuse me, what's the matter with me?" Colin subconsciously continued to ask.

  Noyce was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked casually:

   "How are you doing?"

   "?" Colin was stunned.

  Noyce also felt a little embarrassed. He took a closer look at Colin, raised his brows suddenly, and said:

   "Have you advanced to the second-level wizard?"

  Colin's heart sank slightly, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

  The two disguised witchcrafts of the second-order lower ranks obtained from the upper-rank first-rank witchcraft broke the limit. In actual experience, they can completely deceive the second-rank wizards.

  However, Noyce in front of him...he doesn't know what level of wizard Noyce is, but he should be at least a fourth-level wizard.

   In front of Noyce, it would be fine if he didn't investigate. If he did, the two second-level low-level disguised witchcraft still couldn't hide it from him.

   "Yes." After weighing for a moment, Colin could only nod.

   "It seems that I still underestimated your harvest in the kingdom of elves." Noyce looked at Colin carefully, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

   This speed of practice is really amazing!

  However, soon, the cold wind hit, and the figure of the Supreme Councilman inexplicably appeared in Noyce's mind, and he suddenly felt depressed.

   "Don't be nervous, your adventure is your adventure, as long as you are not polluted by the gods, I will not do anything to you."

  Noyce smiled flatly.

  ‘What about the second order? There has never been a shortage of geniuses among wizards, and it is not an isolated case that those who are amazingly talented in history have become second-level wizards within ten years.

   Haven't reached the third level yet!

The journey of a wizard becomes more and more difficult as you go forward. The accumulation speed of the second level of practice is much lower than before, and breaking through the third level is even more difficult than an apprentice becoming a full-fledged wizard, let alone more difficult in the future Fourth order...'

  Noyce looked at Colin who bowed his head, silent in his heart.

  ‘The mixed-blood wizard in front of him is destined not to be able to reach the top, or in other words, he may not even be able to advance to the third level. '

  Noyce paused and asked again: "Have you joined the True Knowledge Society?"

"joined."

   "That's right, the True Knowledge Society is a good place." Noyce said softly, and asked again: "You have joined the Xisheng family now?"

   "No." Colin shook his head, "I didn't join the faction."

  Noyce was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to tell Colin that if he didn't join the faction, the road ahead would be difficult and muddy.

   But when the words came to his lips, Noyce suddenly fell silent again, and after a long time, he said slowly:

   "It's good, you don't have to be bound by factions."

   "Yeah." Colin nodded slightly, he glanced at Noyce, but was a little surprised by his reaction.

   "By the way, there is one more thing." Noyce finally remembered a serious matter,

  "Although the crimson mark technique has been successfully improved, the Supreme Council finally decided to continue to conceal your identity,

  The purpose is to confuse the gods, so that they can't figure out whether such a wizard exists, or whether it is a smoke bomb we released. "

  Noyster paused, and added: "At the same time, it is also to protect your safety."

   Having said that, Noyce knew that Colin's identity as a heroic wizard might never be made public again.

  The council needs to confuse the gods, and also doesn't want the honor of improving the crimson mark technique to fall on a half-blood wizard.

  In fact, until now, there are still many high-level wizards who still think that the so-called hero wizard is actually Noyes... fictional hero wizard, but it is just to confuse the gods.

   "I see." Colin nodded calmly, slightly relieved.

  The so-called heroic wizard is just a false name, which will only increase the danger. He wished he didn't have it.

   What's more, although the kingdom of elves was discovered by himself, the crimson mark technique was not improved by himself.

  Fake this honor, I will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

   However, Noyce on the other side looked at his calm face, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

  In his opinion, although Colin's expression was calm, there seemed to be a sense of loss of honor between his brows and eyes.

  It's a pity that this is indeed an order issued by the Supreme Council, and he has no power to change it.

   "This is for you." Noyce thought for a while, then suddenly took out the memory crystal he had just obtained, engraved his improved crimson marking technique into it, and handed it to Colin, "Don't spread it outside."

   Colin reached out and took it.

   "Practice hard." Noyce smiled, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

  In the dark night, he looked back at the blond boy, and sighed silently in his heart:

   "The top of the mountains, the place where the cone stands... the wizards who can climb to the top are ultimately very few."

  ………

time flies.

   It has been a week since Colin returned to Neustadt.

  The city was still a bit sluggish at first, but after a day or two, it recovered to 70% to 80%. Today, no matter whether it is architecture or popularity, there is no difference from the past.

  In the second-level research room of the True Knowledge Society

  Colin stood relaxed, his eyes focused, and a red light suddenly appeared in the air in front of him.

   As time went by, the red light expanded little by little, and the scorching breath rushed towards the face.

   Immediately afterwards, at a certain moment, the red light in front of him suddenly changed into a human figure burning with flames!

  Colin sighed softly, and waved away the summoned fire element.

   Even though the casting speed had been reduced as much as possible, he still couldn't figure out the overlapping phenomenon that occurred when the five times of breaking the limit fireball and summoning the fire element were cast at the same time.

  After resting for a while, Colin exhaled softly, and suddenly summoned the Silent Shadow.

   Whoosh whoosh.

  Six Silent Shadows stood in front of them silently. With a thought, Colin summoned the Black Mist Armor.

  Light black mist suddenly appeared, covering his body completely in a blink of an eye, and Colin seemed to have turned into a dark and ferocious knight.

  Two seconds later, Colin dispelled the Black Mist Armor again.

Under his control, the armor of black mist began to dissipate bit by bit. First of all, the face armor, starting from the center of the eyebrows, the armor of black mist that was as hard as steel disintegrated into strands of black mist, which collapsed into the air in the blink of an eye among.

  But Colin knew that, just like calling out the armor of black mist, most of the black mist actually returned to the Shadow of Silence.

  About two minutes passed, and the black mist armor on Colin's body had completely disappeared.

  He closed his eyes slightly, frowning and thinking carefully.

  When he was an advanced second-level wizard and was able to cast two kinds of witchcraft at the same time, he discovered that when the fireball technique and the summoning fire element were cast at the same time, there would be a wonderful overlapping effect.

  This effect not only greatly increases the speed of casting spells, but also reduces the consumption of magic power.

  And in the combined witchcraft of the net of black mist, there is a similar overlapping effect.

   Like summoning the armor of black mist, it seems to be a separate witchcraft, but it is not the case behind it.

  In fact, the witchcraft of the net of black mist is the first real combined witchcraft that Colin has come into contact with, and it is probably the only one that Colin has come into contact with.

  Strictly speaking, like the Tempel ring **** obtained later, it can only be a group of witchcraft, not a combination of witchcraft.

   Closer to home, when comparing the Black Mist Web sorcery to casting Fireball and Summoning Fire Elemental at the same time—

  Colin realized that perhaps the current fireball and summoning fire elements were just the embryonic form of combined witchcraft.

  And what he is thinking hard now is how to continue to deepen them, and how to use the power of gold paper to assist.

  With the improvement of strength, Colin clearly realized that in the battle of high-level wizards, as the power of the attack became stronger, the witchcraft performed were often not single-body witchcraft.

   In other words, after the second level, wizards mostly use combined witchcraft.

  The reason is also very simple. In most cases, the power of combined witchcraft stacked from more single witchcraft is greater.

   And due to the existence of overlapping effects, most of the time, the temporary mana consumption required for combined witchcraft is also less.

  Take the previously summoned Black Mist Armor as an example. Its defense ability is comparable to that of a single witchcraft steel temperature-resistant force field, but the magic power required to summon it is less than one-tenth of the steel temperature-resistant force field.

  Of course, the Armor of Black Mist is a special case.

  In addition to the overlapping effect, this is mainly because the Armor of Black Mist is the core of the combined witchcraft of the Black Mist Web.

  Most of the magic power it needs to consume has already been paid when transforming the shadow of silence before the battle.

  So when fighting, the mana that needs to be consumed is naturally less.

   All in all, in recent days, Colin has been trying to combine fireball and summoning fire elements into an original combined witchcraft.

  Although now he casts fireball and summon fire element at the same time, it is equivalent to a superficial combined witchcraft.

  But this is only possible because of the special changes in the souls of advanced second-level wizards.

  If you switch to another wizard, you can still only implement the fireball technique honestly, and then use the fireball technique as the material to cast the summon fire element.

   Teng!

  The flames ignited, and Colin continued to study them while practicing fireball and summoning fire elements.

In the dark, he had a feeling in his heart that if he could figure out the specific situation behind the overlapping effects of the fireball technique and the summoning fire element, maybe with the help of the gold paper, he could fuse it with the black mist net witchcraft, Get a brand new powerful sorcery!

  Thinking of this, Colin was full of energy again.

   After all, after the second level, as the difficulty of cultivation increases, the gains brought by the cultivation of the Super Brain and the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment will drop significantly.

  Although it is still as fast as lightning compared to ordinary wizards, it is still somewhat difficult to repeat the exaggerated speed of successive advancements in just a few months before.

  If you want to increase your combat effectiveness, you still have to start with witchcraft!

   Time flies by.

   At noon, Colin stopped practicing and sat at the experiment table for lunch.

  No one came to disturb his meal, and Shelley has not come back... I don't know how long it will be.

  After lunch, Colin did not continue to practice, but came to Copper Rose Street.

  Walter Auction House.

  This auction house has an unremarkable name, but it is one of the best auction houses in Neustadt.

   Six days ago, he would entrust the piece of extremely cold crystal to be auctioned here.

  Colin stepped in, and after showing his voucher and the badge of the Tin Holy School, a waiter quickly took him to a private room.

   "My lord, please wait here for a while, the auction house will start in about thirty minutes."

   "Yes." Colin nodded, still looking forward to it.

   In the absence of suitable witchcraft commissions to accept, he can earn up to 40,000 to 60,000 magic stones a month by selling zero-level high-level witchcraft without affecting his daily practice.

   And that piece of extremely cold crystal can sell at least 100,000 magic stones, and if there is a suitable buyer, it may be even higher.

  Compared to selling a zero-level high-level witchcraft that breaks the limit, this can be said to be a magic stone picked up for nothing!

  Even Colin was thinking that if he lacked magic stones in the future, he might be able to go around places like the Far North and use Anando's dice to pick up some treasures and sell them.

  But this is just thinking about it. Maybe you really lack magic stones and you can try it if you have time. If it happens every week, it's not good.

  After all, the extreme north is a long way away, and it takes at least one day and one night to go back and forth, and the cost of the teleportation array can no longer be reimbursed... There are many rare treasures in danger, even if you don’t go to the extreme north, it’s not bad to go to other places.

  In addition, the most important thing is that no one can be sure what kind of treasures can be obtained through Anando's dice...

  Time passed quietly under the chaotic thoughts.

  The bright crystal above the auction stage suddenly lit up, and a wizard in a neat white robe walked slowly to the auction stage, picked up the auction mallet and tapped it lightly, officially announcing the start of the auction.

   "The first auction item, Tears of the Shark Girl, the starting price is 500 magic stones, and each price increase must not be less than 10 magic stones..."

  Colin looked at the auction items on the stage with great interest. He came here this time with the attitude of a spectator, and he had no intention of buying anything.

  "The fifty-ninth auction item, Crystal of Extreme Cold, has a starting price of 80,000 magic stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than 1,000 magic stones."

  Colin sat up slightly, and it was finally his turn to be his Extreme Cold Crystal.

   "Ninety thousand magic stones!"

  As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, he heard the sound of the machine's bidding, and it raised a full 10,000 magic stones!

  Colin was overjoyed, this undoubtedly meant that someone in the field had taken a fancy to this extremely cold crystal!

   "Ninety-five thousand magic stones."

  Crystals of extreme cold are very rare, and the price of a mere 90,000 magic stones can scare away other wizards.

   "Ninety-six thousand magic stones!"

   "Ninety-seven thousand magic stones!"

   "One hundred thousand magic stones..."

   "..."

   Just like that, after a period of intense competition, the final bidding price for the Crystal of Extreme Cold was set at 160,000 magic stones.

  And this price is 9,000 higher than the previous bidding price of 151,000 magic stones!

   It was the same asking price that finally dissuaded the rest of the competitors.

  Although the bids were announced with uniform mechanical voices, there was no difference.

  But somehow Colin felt that the buyer who finally spent 160,000 magic stones to bid for the Extreme Cold Crystal was probably the wizard who couldn't wait to bid 90,000 at the beginning.

  160,000 magic stones...not bad, a satisfied smile appeared on Colin's face.

  But in the next second, a strange fragrance came suddenly, interrupting Colin's thoughts. He subconsciously followed the strange but somewhat familiar smell and looked towards the auction platform.

  In the display box opened there, a white fruit the size of a longan came into view, which made Colin swallow his saliva involuntarily.

  The auctioneer rang the golden auction gavel in his hand, and said loudly:

   "The sixtieth auction item, the Snow Tree Fruit, has a starting price of 80,000 magic stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than 1,000 magic stones."
