The Rise of the Cemetery

The newly generated city heart is a fist-sized multicolored gem compressed to the extreme.

From a distance, it is only colorful and radiant, just a beautiful gemstone, and I can't feel the slightest energy breath and magic fluctuations. Only when you touch its body with your own hands, can you feel a surge of pure death energy contained in it, and there is also a faint soul rhythm unique to living beings.

Several women in the arena were obviously tempted by the heart of the city. After begging for it from the young mage, they repeatedly passed it on for appreciation. No matter who it is, as long as they hold the gemstone of the heart of the city in the palm of their hand, they will always have an obsessed and dull expression, wishing to take it as their own right away. Only under the repeated urging of his companions, the appreciator is reluctant to pass it on to the next person.

I only feel sorry for Kel'Thuzad, a research madman, even if they jump and curse, they can't regain their spirits. Several women gathered in a circle, taking turns holding the gem in their palms, rubbing it in their arms, and ravaging it in their arms, just to prevent the necromancer from touching it. This made him so angry that he had no choice but to go to the young mage to comment.

But in the face of a group of "enchanted" women who had obviously lost their minds, the young mage was also helpless. He could only cough and sigh with the necromancer, and took the opportunity of building a new city to sneak away.

At this time, the corpse king has once again completed the preliminary preparations for the new city.

Before the establishment of the second cemetery city in this plane, Li Xun felt the need to verify the speculation just now. But what kind of magic item or strange thing can make the bone sea absorb and mutate? This is a difficult subject!

First of all, the most commendable are the two crystals of divine power. This is the result extracted from a 20th-level paladin, and it is full of great divine power of the God of Morning Light. Of course, if that bastard, the Holy Light Skeleton, Syberrill, hadn't lost his mind and absorbed all the divine power projected from the arrival of Tyr, the God of Justice, maybe the young mage's divine power crystal reserve could reach double digits.

However, the God of Morning Light belongs to the ranks of lawful gods, and the attributes of divine power in it are incompatible with the coldness of the sea of ​​bones in the cemetery, so it must be difficult to mix them together.

The rest are some strange objects collected recently, including many items with ice and death attributes, but if they are suitable, they still belong to the "venom" found in the city of Rasmuffel a few days ago. ball".

This "Ball of Venom" is a rare Tier 3 treasure. After being recognized by the necromancer Kel'Thuzad, it not only has the effect of increasing the carrier's attack +5, but also makes melee heroes become long-range attacks when facing the air. When attacking an enemy unit, it will be poisoned, with a deceleration effect, which can be superimposed with other poisoning skills.

According to Kel'Thuzad's speculation, the top of this "ball of venom" is most likely taken from the body of the five-headed snake. However, due to the lack of information, it is not clear where the drows found this extremely rare snake lizard.

The snake lizard, one of the powerful strange monsters in the depths of the underground world. Although they seem to have something to do with dragons, they are actually mentally retarded and lack magical powers, and their origins are still unclear. However, they are very strong physically, and can use many heads to fight multiple enemies at the same time.

This kind of guy has always only stayed near the water pool deep in the ground. It is famous for its thick skin and blood growth, regeneration ability, venom injection and other methods. It belongs to the kind of blood cow species that no one wants to provoke.

But now is not the time to explore the origin of the venom ball. After a brief exchange with the necromancer, the young mage decided to try this thing first.

When the new offerings filled the Soul Gathering Circle, the young mage threw the ball of venom into it, and then began to use his own soul and blood to guide the formation of the sea of ​​bones.

During this period of tempering, the young mage dare not say anything else, but the formation of this sea of ​​bones is already familiar, so the construction of this cemetery city has been completed with ease.

The formation of the sea of ​​bones is quite normal, and there is no special anomaly, but a pool of venom with green liquid boiling appears on the edge of the sea of ​​bones. However, the young mage didn't worry too much about it. After all, only more than two cemetery buildings will be transformed into a real cemetery city. He still has some patience for this.

Time passed quickly, and when the cemetery was built, the transformation that the young mage had been waiting for finally came.

Tarren Mill, the cemetery city, due to the strange objects sacrificed when the bone sea is generated, the cemetery creatures produced in this city will have their own poison attacks. Comes with a special building: Venom Pool.

The venom pool, the ancillary building of the cemetery, the cemetery creatures entering it will have a certain probability of mutated species.

The young mage's eyes lit up, and there really was a door!

Unexpectedly, a special building appeared in the first test. Although the specific usage methods still need to be explored and summarized repeatedly, it is always a good thing to have more special skills or effects.

Toxin attack? Uh... Although this effect has no effect on the undead, it still has some effect on the living race. At least let the skeleton soldiers with the largest number and most useless abilities in the cemetery have another reason to die!

Suppressing the urgency, the young mage began to build Tarren Mill in an orderly manner. The generation of each cemetery unit building will bring him a bit of joy and excitement, and the long waiting of more than ten hours will no longer be depressing.

Running around all day, young mages rarely have the opportunity to sit down and continue to delve into the mysterious and mysterious spell runes that look like alien characters. So while waiting, he finally sat down and copied the scroll.

Copying scrolls, this is a basic skill that an orthodox mage has to practice repeatedly since his apprenticeship. Taking advantage of the opportunity to copy spells from the spell book, familiarize yourself with the spell model and spell structure over and over again. This is much more durable than the actual implementation of the law.

With the meager knowledge and poor magic power of a sorcerer's apprentice, if he could understand the true meaning of the spell by practicing it, he would be clean and foaming on the ground in less than a quarter of an hour. Although copying scrolls will produce a lot of failures and defective products, it can extend the time for practicing spells to 1 hour or even 2 hours, and there is no risk of backlash after failing to cast a spell.

So one of the most common things a mage apprentice does every day is to copy scrolls.

But today, the young mage, as a high-level 15th-level high-level mage, started his journey as a real mage for the first time.

To be honest, transcribing scrolls is not an easy job!

With the help of the perspective effect of the panorama and Isa's precise guidance, the young mage can draw a perfect magic circle that can serve as a textbook. But once the blessing of these foreign objects is stripped away, the young mage can't even draw a basic circle on the flat and clean parchment made of tanned paper, let alone some special runes with twists and turns that look like ghostly drawn symbols.

It was just a simple comparison of painting a gourd, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the young mage's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. Obediently Long's Cave, even the simplest level 0 trick, there are no less than twenty or thirty strange runes in it. The entire scroll is only about a foot or so square. If you want to draw them one by one in a fixed order and position into two concentric circles representing the magic power ring, you need not only superb drawing skills, but also good eyesight and Steady hands.

An hour passed, and the side of the young mage was already covered with scraps of parchment.

Lifting his already stiff and numb neck, and slowly rubbing his sore fingers, the young mage couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation. It's no wonder that the mage profession will become a dignitary in the high-magic world. This kind of perseverance and persistence alone is beyond the imagination and surpassing of ordinary people.

This is just the simplest level 0 trick. If it is changed to a level 7 or higher trick, then it is required to use flat parchment to draw a three-dimensional and cumbersome spell structure. Then... that kind of difficulty can make a person Brain burst.

In the past, there was no way but to take shortcuts, but now that I have time, I have to pick up some basic skills that I skipped in the past one by one, otherwise I will always be just a user of spells, not a controller.

Comparing Li Xun with an orthodox level 15 high-level mage, his mana reserves are 67% lower than the orthodox mage's, and the number of spells he masters is only 20% of the opponent's. Due to the low intelligence attribute, when Li Xun casts spells of the same level, the spell effect is only half of that of the opponent.

At this stage, ordinary high-level mages have basically mastered the corresponding spell-casting skills such as instant spell casting, silent spell casting, powerful spell casting, spell delay, spell boosting, spell countering, and spell extreme effects, which can be greatly strengthened. Casting effect. But Li Xun didn't have any, not even the "spell proficiency" that every apprentice would get after becoming a full-fledged mage.

The only instant spells that Li Xun mastered were basically those that came with the mage tower in the cemetery, but for the new spells learned from Klein Continent, there were very few instant spells. If it weren't for the strategic skill "Witchcraft" that can automatically reduce the public cooling time, Li Xun might not even be able to cast a second-level spell instantly.

But up to now, the potential of the mage tower in the cemetery has basically been tapped out. If you want to make progress in the future, you will have to embark on the road of studying new world spells sooner or later. After all, Issa is only the magic soul managed by the plane manufacturing, not the magic soul of the arcane tower, so there are not so many arcane arts from the arcane empire period handed down.

With the gradual growth of the strength of the cemetery arms, there is no shortcoming in the absolute number of soldiers and the powerful force of the hand-to-hand arms. Even the special effects of the arms have been optimized and combined, but the magic power is still not strong enough. .

All graveyard spellcasters are mainly dark spells. This kind of spell-casting team built with the negative energy system as the core, if it encounters a church team with similar types, or a highly adaptable mage guild team, it is easy to be countered by the opponent in a targeted manner.

Therefore, it is fundamental to expand the diversity of the caster team early, and it seems that only Li Xun and Siris can do this.

As a level 15 mage, Li Xun could already cast level 7 spells. Sadly, he didn't even find a single level 7 spell. As for Tier 6 spells, apart from mastering petrification, anti-magic force field, monster summoning, and chain lightning, he can also be said to be progressing slowly. The main reason for this problem lies in his previous leap-frog development and his diligent improvement.

The continuous battles in the cemetery made him level up by leaps and bounds, but it was just a show after all. Obviously the level has reached level 15, but now he bears the name of a high-level mage of level 11, but no one would suspect that his strength is suspicious.

Who told him that his quality in all aspects was indeed too poor, too poor. There is no level, but no corresponding strength to fill it, so people always think that he barely climbed into the ranks of high-level mages by luck.
